Parenthood Season 2 Gets Ready For New Stories | Parenthood Season 2 Cast, Reviews | Comedy Drama Television Series

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:59 PM PDT


I've watched the first five episodes, and plan to continue. The family members aren't perfect, which is one reason I love this show so much. Even the "good guys (or gals)" make mistakes, just like we all do in real life. Each of the story lines is interesting (some more than others), and every week I wonder where the writers will go with each story.The younger actors in this series are impressive. Their acting is often subtle, which must be difficult for those who are so young to accomplish. The way they are portrayed is realistic, in that they are all likable in some way, but not so likable in others. As a mother, I appreciate the parenting difficulties which come along in this series, but I can also relate to the teenagers as they try to make sense of life.

Others who have commented have mentioned the high quality of the adult cast. I agree that they are all good, but I particularly like the work of Dax Shepard.Beyond the boat, TV critics visiting the "Parenthood" set last month got to poke around in bedrooms and bathrooms and even peek into fully stocked cabinets and drawers. We chatted with Adam and Kristina (Peter Krause and Monica Potter), who surprised us in their kitchen. Zeek and Camille (Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia) served lemonade. This is one hospitable family.

With a huge cast making up five households and sets taking up parts of four soundstages, the biggest challenge for art director Tim Eckel and set decorator Julianne Getman beyond the sheer volume of the task  is to lend a distinct personality to each space.They have succeeded. It's easy to tell that this is little Max Braverman's bedroom and that that is the senior Bravermans' sunporch even if (through the magic of TV) the rooms are closer together than they ought to be. Furnishings and each little tchotchke have been chosen to make each space look both personal and comfortably lived in.

Mae Whitman has just wrapped filming on the highly anticipated Scott Pilgrim versus the World, the film adaptation of the underground graphic novel sensation. Whitman stars opposite John Cusack in the thriller The Factory, scheduled for release this fall, and will be seen in the Warner Bros. comedy Spring Breakdown, with Amy Poehler, Parker Posey and Amber Tamblyn. Most recently she played Diane Lane's daughter in Nights in Rodanthe.

When Whitman was three-and-a-half, she inadvertently wandered into her mother's commercial audition - and booked the job. A year later she was cast in her first feature film, When a Man Loves a Woman, starring Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia, followed by the comedy Bye Bye Love, with Randy Quaid, Paul Reiser, and Amy Brenneman.

Camille and Zeek's golden child, Julia seems to have it all beauty, brains, love and success. She's a talented lawyer at a top corporate firm while her loving husband, Joel, supports her ambitions as a stay-at-home dad to their adorable daughter, Sydney. Julia sometimes applies her competitive spirit to the world of parenting. Her Type-A personality makes it difficult for her to let go and relax. Julia's go-getting personality and by-the-book approach is the opposite of her sister Sarah's, but when the chips are down, they turn to one another for support. As a working mom, Julia's often torn between the demands of the office and her desire to be with her family.

Julia feels her role as the main influence on her daughter's life slipping away so she goes out of her way to put her personal stamp on raising her daughter. Julia instills in Sydney what she loved about her own childhood and begins to discover other ways she'd prefer the apple of her eye to fall a little further from the Braverman tree

Watching Online Show Fringe | Cast And Crew | Review And Preview

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:53 PM PDT


The series premiered in North America on August 19, 2008, on the Fox network. Fringe was part of a Fox initiative known as "Remote-Free TV". Episodes of Fringe were longer than standard dramas on current network television. The show ran with half the commercials during the first season, adding about six minutes to the show's runtime.When the show went to a commercial, a short bumper aired informing the viewer of roughly how much time commercials will consume before the program resumed. On October 1, 2008, Fringe's first season was extended to 22 episodes.This was then cut back to 20 episodes with the season finale airing May 12.The series was renewed for a second season.Season 2 premiered September 18, 2009.However, Fox's "Remote-Free TV" trial did not continue past the first season. On March 6, 2010, Entertainment Weekly and Variety reported that Fox had renewed Fringe for a third season.It was later reported that it will be a full season of 22 episodes.The third season is set to premiere September 23, 2010.

Fringe is in many ways an experiment for us, which is, we believe it is possible to do a show that does have an overall story and end game, which Fringe absolutely does… We can do a show that has that, so that there's a direction the show is going and there's an ultimate story that's being told, but also a show that you don't have to watch episodes one, two and three to tune into episode four."[11] Roberto Orci, a co-creator, commented that Fringe "took its inspiration from The X-Files", but will "differentiate through the characters," and be a whole new take on the genre.

A shapeshifter from the alternate universe kills Olivia's partner, Charlie, and under his form, finds the location of one of their agents, Thomas Jerome Newton. Newton, using information stored in portions of Walter's brain which Bell had purposely removed at Walter's request, devises a means to connect the two universes in order to allow Walternate across. As the Fringe division attempts to stop Newton, Olivia is forced to recall her Cortexiphan-induced ability to see objects that originated in the other universe, and comes to discover the truth about Peter. Walter urges her not to tell him as he wishes to tell him himself but is struggling in how to approach it. As a result of Newton's actions, Peter learns himself about his past and runs away to think to himself. Peter encounters Walternate who had recently crossed over prior to Peter's aid in a police case eluded with suspicions of paranoia due to explanations concerning a recurring fringe event of his bizarre experiences with the Fringe Division. Walternate offers to bring him back home, and Peter accepts.

The first actors cast were Kirk Acevedo and Mark Valley, who portrayed FBI agents Charlie Francis and John Scott, respectively.John Noble and Lance Reddick, who play Dr. Walter Bishop and Homeland Security agent Phillip Broyles joined the cast later on.Casting of Anna Torv, Blair Brown, and Jasika Nicole, who play Olivia Dunham, Massive Dynamic employee Nina Sharp,and Astrid Farnsworth, a federal agent and assistant to Olivia Dunham, respectively, followed,while Joshua Jackson, who plays Peter Bishop, was the last main character to be cast.Jackson auditioned for James T. Kirk in Abrams' Star Trek and believed this is what impressed the producer to cast him in his television project.

Errors in geography: Beginning in season one, establishing shots show the teams headquarters to be in a skyscraper which title cards identify as the "Boston Federal Building." However the building shown is actually Hancock Tower, a privately owned office building which is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Boston. The FBI is located in One Center Plaza which is across the street from Homeland Security office located in the John F. Kennedy Federal Building located downtown at Government Center. Both buildings are in direct proximity to Boston City Hall, a city courthouse, police station, local NBC/CW television station and immigration offices,was wondering who everyones favourite character in Fringe is? I make no secret of the fact that I love Olivia Dunham (just check out my profile banner:P) for me Olivia Dunham = awesomeness.She is really smart (she figured out The Observer was watching them in a matter of weeks when Broyles.

The majority of mysteries in Fringe deal with a parallel universe. Abrams revealed in an interview that the glyphs in the show had a hidden meaning."It's something that we're doing for people who care to figure it out and follow it,but it's not something that a viewer has to consider when they watch the show.Abrams also revealed that the seemingly unrelated frogs which have the Greek letter Phi imprinted on their back appeared in promos for the show have significance within the context of the series, saying "it's part of the code of the show.The glyph code was cracked by an editor at the technology site Ars Technica,who discovered it to be a simple substitution cypher used to spell out a single thematic word for each episode.Whether there is a further second-order code to be solved remains to be seen.

Ovide Lamontagne Native & Resident Of Manchester | Ovide Lamontagne Potential Candidate For U.S | Separated By Hundreds Of Votes

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:40 PM PDT


It could be several more hours until a winner is declared in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire.With about 50 percent of the votes totaled, former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte and lawyer Ovide Lamontagne were only separated by hundreds of votes.Ovide Lamontagne says he is proud of what his campaign accomplished, considering he trailed Ayotte by double digits in early polling, and was significantly outspent.Lamontagne says he is confident he will come out on top, but says he will support Ayotte if she wins, and she has promised to do the same.

Ovide M. Lamontagne is a native and resident of Manchester, where he practices law as a shareholder with the law firm of Devine, Millimet & Branch, P.A. Ovide is a 1975 graduate of Trinity High School. Following his graduation from The Catholic Universit.of America in 1979, Ovide taught high school social studies for three years before obtaining his law degree at the University of Wyoming College of Law in 1985. During his legal career, Ovide served as a law clerk to the Honorable James E. Barrett of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and legal counsel for the New Hampshire State Senate during the 1991 Legislative Session. Ovide is a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association, the National Diocesan Attorneys' Association, and the New Hampshire Judicial Council.

n an extraordinary move, the state Republican Party launched automated phone calls attacking O'Donnell in the campaign's final hours. The calls feature the voice of a woman who identified herself as Kristin Murray, O'Donnell's campaign manager in her 2008 unsuccessful Senate campaign, accusing the candidate of "living on campaign donations using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt."Biden resigned the seat in early 2009, shortly after being sworn in as vice president, and his successor, Democratic Sen. Ted Kaufman, pledged not to run for a full term.The GOP establishment confronted a possible second defeat in Delaware, where businesswoman Michelle Rollins trailed in a race for the nomination for the state's lone House seat in late returns. John Carney was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

Ovide Lamontagne is a Manchester native and has been with the firm since 1986. He represents clients in complex business transactions and commercial litigation, specializing in the areas of healthcare, not-for-profit charitable trust litigation including representing religious organizations, and construction law. Ovide serves as general counsel to several not-for-profit organizations and is involved in many civic, charitable and political organizations and activities, and is one of the firm's bilingual shareholders, with French being his second language.

At first, the producers were looking for a "quintessentially American person" to play the role of House.Bryan Singer in particular felt there was no way he was going to hire a non-American actor for the role.At the time of the casting session, actor Hugh Laurie was in Namibia filming the movie Flight of the Phoenix.

He assembled an audition tape in a hotel bathroom, the only place with enough light, and apologized for its appearance(which Singer compared to a "bin Laden video").Laurie improvised, using an umbrella for a cane. Singer was very impressed by his performance and commented on how well the "American actor" was able to grasp the character.Singer was not aware that Laurie was English, due to his convincing American accent. Laurie credits the accent to "a misspent youth [watching] too much TV and too many movies".Although locally better-known actors such as Denis Leary, Rob Morrow, and Patrick Dempsey were considered for the part, Shore, Jacobs, and Attanasio were as impressed as Singer and cast Laurie as House.

After the show's title fades, there is an aerial view of PPTH (actually various Princeton University buildings, primarily Frist Campus Center).This is followed by a series of images accompanying each cast member's name; most are shown next to, or superimposed upon, illustrations of the human anatomy. Laurie's name appears next to a model of a human head with the brain exposed; Edelstein's name appears next to a visual effects–produced graphic of nerve axons; Epps's name is superimposed upon a rib cage X-ray; Leonard's name appears on a drawing of the two hemispheres of the brain.The producers originally wanted to include an image of a cane and an image of a Vicodin bottle, but Fox objected. Morrison's title card was thus lacking an image; an aerial shot of rowers on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie was finally agreed upon to accompany her name.

In the eleventh episode of season five, "Joy to the World", Foreman and Thirteen engage in a passionate kiss.Thirteen is at first reluctant to start a relationship with Foreman, but the two eventually begin dating and are still together at the end of the season.They break up early in season six. In the twentieth episode of season 5, "Simple Explanation", Kutner is found dead in his apartment with a gunshot wound to the head. Because Kutner left no note, House suspects foul play, though the death is accepted by the other characters as a suicide.In season seven, Thirteen will take a leave of absence while a medical student, played by Amber Tamblyn, takes her position for several episodes.While Jacobson and Wilde play central characters (as did Penn), they do not receive star billing. They are credited under an "Also Starring" rubric, with their names appearing after the opening sequence.

Now that they're together, House and Cuddy try to establish a normal relationship. Meanwhile, the team comes to the aid of an ailing Prionceton neurosurgeon but discover that they need House's help... and House is nowhere to be found.

For a charity auction, American Apparel 100% cotton T-shirts bearing the phrase "Everybody Lies" were sold for a limited time starting on April 23, 2007. The shirts were priced at $19.95 apiece on Housecharitytees.com; proceeds went to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).T-shirts with the phrase "Normal's Overrated" are currently on sale, with proceeds going to NAMI.House cast and crew members also regularly attend fundraisers for NAMI and have featured in ads for the organization that have appeared in Seventeen and Rolling Stone. The show's efforts have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the charity. Jacobs said that through their association with NAMI, they hope to take "some of the stigma off that illness.

Final Witness & The Prophesied End Time | A Novel On Your Kindle In Under A Minute | New International Bible NIV Seven Witnesses

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:25 PM PDT


On December 14, 2008, the First Trumpet of the Seventh Seal of the Book of Revelation sounded, which announced the beginning collapse of the economy of the United States and great destruction that will follow. The next three trumpets will result in the total collapse of the United States, and once the Fifth Trumpet sounds the world will be thrust into WW III.

The Seven Trumpets of the Seventh Seal, as well as the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation (which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording) are revealed in this book.Many of the prophecies of the Seven Thunders are being fulfilled and will continue to increase in strength and frequency throughout this final three and one-half years of man's self-rule on earth.

As these events unfold, the world will increasingly become aware of the authenticity of the words in this book and realize that Ronald Weinland has been sent by God as His end-time prophet.This book is primarily directed to the people of the three major religions of the world (Islam, Judaism and Christianity), whose roots are in the God of Abraham. Ronald Weinland has been sent to all three.

Now a potential defense witness who was scheduled to testify for Mr. Taylor, the RUF fighter identified by Pseudonym DCT-097, has given defense lawyers moneygram receipts of payments he received from prosecutors. Defense lawyers have, through the motion, asked the judges to order prosecutors to make a full disclosure of all payments to the witness, as well as disclosure of all exculpatory evidence that would point at Mr. Taylor's innocence based on statements that were made by the witness.After conferring with other members of the defense team, defense counsel Morris Anyah told the judges that the defense still want a decision on the motion because defense lawyers intend to establish that prosecutors have been paying witnesses to testify against Mr. Taylor.

Prosecution witnesses have testified earlier that the order to execute Mr. Bockarie was handed down from Mr. Taylor to his SSS Director Benjamin Yeaten, who took men to the Liberia-Ivory Coast border and executed Mr. Bockarie along with his bodyguards and family members. When Mr. Blah testified in 2008, he told the court that he was in Nimba County when Mr. Boackerie was executed, and Mr. Yeaten had met him there and told him of an operation that they had just executed. When Mr. Yeaten took him to his vehicle, Mr. Blah said he saw the corpse of Mr. Bockarie at the back of the truck. He explained that when he took Mr. Bockarie's remains to Monrovia and informed Mr. Taylor about it, the former Liberian president told him that it was a military operation and there was no need for Mr. Blah to get involved.

By most accounts, Blankenhorn was a disastrous "expert witness" for the defense whose credentials were eviscerated by David Boies. Judge Vaughn Walker even suggested that Blankenhorn's status as an expert witness fell short of the Supreme Court's guideline that such witnesses possess "specialized skills as opposed to the insights of an intelligent layperson." At one point, Boies pointed to a quote from Blankenhorn's 2007 book which seemingly contradicted his entire reason for being there: "We would be more American on the day we permitted same-sex marriage than we were on the day before."

He agreed with Justice Lussick that he would not know if somebody else was monitoring his communications.As SSS Director Mr. Yeatenhas taken center stage in this trial as the main person who was in contact with RUF rebels and having worked as a radio operator for Mr. Yeaten, Justice Teresa Doherty asked the witness whether Mr. Yeaten is still alive.I don't know, since he left Liberia in 2003, I have not got any information about him…I do not know whether he is alive and even if he is alive, I do not know where he is now."The trial of Mr. Taylor will resume on Monday with a status conference to determine when and how defense lawyers will close Mr. Taylor's defense.

Christine O'Donnell Evangelical Outreach Program | Moderate Populist Conservative | Sought $6.9 Million In Gender Discrimination

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:10 PM PDT


Christine O'Donnell has received from Jim DeMint, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express, and given their fervent belief that she's a viable candidate, we have no doubt that support will extend into the general. Given that already strong level of support, I expect national Republicans will be re-directing their resources to other states like California, Washington and Wisconsin, where Republicans have an opportunity to win. But we look forward to Senator DeMint carrying through on his promise of an O'Donnell victory this November."

The party's coordinated spending limit for a Senate nominee in Delaware is $87,000. The RNC and the NRSC each have that limit so it is double that amount. $174,000 total. Since the party is saying they will cut her off, this will be SCF's initial goal. We will likely raise her this money from grassroots by next week. If Ovide LaMontagne loses in New Hampshire because of the resources spent instead in Delaware, it'll be a long term bad night for conservatives. That said, the NRSC intends to spend nothing there so the Tea Party Express, Sarah Palin, etc. will have to step up to the plate now for Christine to fill the void left by the NRSC. Of course, the money the NRSC is not spending in Delaware will most likely be going to help some other candidate the NRSC opposed in the primaries.

She enters the fall race as an underdog to Chris Coons, a county executive who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The Republican state chairman, Tom Ross, said recently she "could not be elected dogcatcher," and records surfaced during the campaign showing that the IRS had once slapped a lien against her and her house had been headed for foreclosure. She also claimed falsely to have carried two of the state's counties in a race against Vice President Joe Biden two years ago.With unemployment high and President Barack Obama's popularity below 50 percent, Republicans said a run of hotly contested primaries this spring and summer reflected voter enthusiasm that will serve the party well in the fall. The GOP needs to win 40 seats to take the House and 10 for control of the Senate.

Rangel's principal challenger for the nomination in his Harlem-based district was Adam Clayton Powell IV, a state assemblyman whose father Rangel defeated 40 years ago. In the decades since, Rangel rose to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, with enormous power over taxes, trade, Medicare and more, but Democrats forced him to step aside from that panel while he battles ethics charges.He is accused of accepting several New York City rent-stabilized apartments, and omitting information on his financial disclosure forms. He's also accused of failing to pay taxes from a rental property in the Dominican Republic, and improperly soliciting money for a college center to be named after him. He has vowed to fight the charges, and faces an ethics committee trial, possibly after the elections.

Delaware, like Alaska, has a closed primary which bars independents from voting and so potentially provides a strong outlet for conservative anger over Mr. Castle's vote in favor of cap-and-trade climate policies and abortion rights. The state hasn't had a competitive GOP primary in a decade, which means voters aren't used to turning out for primaries. An O'Donnell upset is not out of the questi.The job of a candidate is to remain cool under pressure, no matter how they are provoked. Ms. O'Donnell doesn't clear that bar. Mike Castle is a moderate Republican facing a conservative primary electorate in an angry political climate. But from the evidence I've seen to date, Christine O'Donnell is no Joe Miller.

I hope you will join our movement to bring real change to Washington and truly serve the long-neglected needs of our state of Delaware. Together we can bring an end to partisanship and pettiness in politics. We can say "no" to life-long politicians who put their own ambitions before the good of our country and the needs of the people of their state. Politics is supposed to be about service not self-interest, and that's why I'm running for the U.S. Senate. Join me and we can truly make a difference.

Watching Online Lie To Me Movie | Cast And Crew | Review And Preview

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 10:05 PM PDT


 The series also features a strong supporting cast, including Kelli Williams as Dr. Gillian Foster, whose husband is cheating on her, a fact everyone of her colleagues is aware of, except herself. Brendan Hines' character is always telling the truth no matter how embarrassing and Monica Raymund starrs as Ria Torres, who has the natural ability of seeing if someone is lying. That often leads to conflict with Lightman, who refuses to believe her ability is as accurate as his, since he needed years of training, while she was just born with her talent.

Yes, there are parallels with other series, especially "The Mentalist", but those are pretty much limited to the ability of the main character being able to detect the truth from people's movements and voices. Besides "Lie to Me" is focused on the science of detecting lies, something completely ignored in "The Mentalist". For example, it will take a person who's telling the truth longer to respond than one who's lying, because the one telling the truth needs to think about the answer.

An employee of The Lightman Group, and a protegee of Dr. Lightman's, who was recognized as a "natural" while she was still working as a TSA agent.[12] Torres was abused as a child, a common pattern among naturals,[13] by her father. Though talented and loyal, she lacks academic training and sometimes lets her emotions cloud her judgment. This was evidenced in an episode in which Cal used her emotions to cause her to disobey him, also similarly manipulating other characters, in order to solve a case. She is also shown to have a half sister who is in juvenile prison.

For a small number of the early episodes Lightman would team up with Torres working on a case, while Foster and Loker would team up on a separate case. Occasionally their work would intertwine or Foster or Lightman would provide assistance on each others cases. As the first season progressed, the cases became more involved and all four of the main characters would work together on one case for each episode. This formulaic technique is often used in the first episodes of a new series to help establish the characters.

DR. CAL LIGHTMAN (Tim Roth) is the world's leading deception expert. If you lie to Lightman, he'll see it in your face and your posture or hear it in your voice. If you shrug your shoulder, rotate your hand or even just slightly raise your lower lip, Lightman will spot the lie. By analyzing facial expressions and involuntary body language, he can read feelings ranging from hidden resentment to sexual attraction to jealousy. His work gives him the knowledge and skill set to expertly deceive others as well as detect lies.

Cal heads up a private agency contracted by the FBI, local police, law firms, corporations, and private individuals when they hit roadblocks in their searches for the truth. Joining him are a variety of experts in the field of behavioral evaluation: Dr. Gillian Foster is a gifted psychologist and Cal's professional partner, a woman whose guidance Cal needs, whether he knows it or not; Will Loker is Cal's lead researcher, and he's so aware of the human tendency to lie that he's decided to uncomplicate matters and practice what he terms "radical honesty": he says everything on his mind at all times. Ria Torres, the newest member of the team, arrives at the truth differently by acting more on instinct and using her natural, less-studied ability to read body language and catch certain clues that Cal's other pledges may miss.

LIE TO ME is the compelling drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of a real-life psychologist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose the truth and lies in criminal investigations.

Delaware Election Results | Information Regarding Elections | State Level Election Results

O'Donnell's win gave new energy to the tea party movement, which targeted Castle after victories by Republican tea party candidates in the Alaska and Nevada Senate primaries. It was another primary victory for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who endorsed O'Donnell last week.With all precincts reporting, O'Donnell had 53 percent to 47 percent for Castle, a former two-term governor and the longest serving congressman in Delaware history.O'Donnell supporters who gathered at an Elks Lodge in Dover erupted in cheers and dancing upon learning of her victory. O'Donnell took the lead early as voting results came in and never relinquished it, prompting some of her supporters to make floor-sweeping motions while cheering, "Sweep 'em out!"

She got behind us war-weary folks and gave us a boost of encouragement when we need it," she said. "She was a vote against the politics of personal destruction."Castle supporters at his election party in Wilmington stood in stunned silence as returns rolled in, but erupted into cheers when he took the stage for a brief speech.O'Donnell, who hasn't had a steady job in years but has instead made an avocation of running for Senate, finally won after two failed Senate bids. She came in last in a three-way GOP primary in 2006 and lost badly to Biden in 2008, when she won the endorsement of state GOP convention delegates but received virtually no help from the party.

But the Tea Party Express bolstered O'Donnell's long-shot bid this year with its pledge of $250,000 for radio and television ads.O'Donnell and her staunchly conservative supporters characterized Castle as a liberal who often votes with Democrats in Congress while masquerading as a GOP conservative. In their words, Castle is a "RINO," a "Republican in Name Only."They also suggested that Castle, 71, was so frail that he might die before finishing his Senate term, that he might switch parties, and that he was cheating on his wife with a man.

While ignoring O'Donnell for much of the campaign, Castle and state Republican Party eventually fired back with attack ads of their own, criticizing O'Donnell, 41, for lying about her education and record, leaving a trail of unpaid bills that included unsettled campaign debts, tax liens and a default on her mortgage, and using campaign finances for personal expenses. The GOP also filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing O'Donnell of illegally colluding with tea party supporters.

Here's something to add to your background on newly minted GOP Delaware Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell. The Atlantic's Joshua Green unearths a 1998 appearance that O'Donnell made on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show. (She appeared with Martin Mull, Jasmine Guy, and Eddie Izzard!) The conversation revolved around the Clinton/Lewinski scandal, and the "relativity of truth.The state had been a primarily "red" state throughout most of the 20th century. Political theorists speculate that the republican presence was largely due to the presence of the DuPont Company and its family. The company had a great effect on state politics as the business became more diversified. Currently, however, the state has voted Democratic in the last five elections.

The O'Donnell team claims that Murray was fired from the team after two weeks on the job after she was unable to perform the duties of her job up to standards. The campaign also stated that she was fired for incompetence by Tom Ross, the party's chair when she worked for the Republican Party.It is strange that a party would launch a robocall against an opponent from their own party. It is especially strange in this case. Just two years ago she was the face of the Republican Party, and was backed by many big names in her bid for Joe Biden's Senate position.

The audition process culminated in the judges selecting 15 acts being selected for the Semi-Finals which take place at the Fountain Studios in Wembley (which is also used for The X Factor). Each Semi-Final has 5 acts with a 5 minute voting window at the end of the show to decide which 2 acts from each Semi-Final proceeds to the Final which takes place on the 19th September at Wembley Arena.

The winner of the show will receive a £100,000 cash fund rather than a record contract with an emphasis on giving the acts control over their careers. Additionally, every song performed on the show is available to download from iTunes and Sky Songs with 100% of the net profits of the songs and merchandise going to the musicians.

Joining Hero, Missing Andy, Emma's Imagination, Pepper & Piano and Daithi in front of a 10,000-strong packed house at Wembley Arena will be Arcade Fire-channelling indie boy-band the Pictures. What kind of impact such a vertiginous leap up the pop food chain will have on this fresh-faced lineup's capacity to build long-term careers remains to be seen. And it will be interesting to see how the music business responds to a development that must have chilled the marrow of Britain's hard-working A&R fraternity. But there is one asset each of these acts has in common (aside from their uniformly terrible names). When the time comes to utter that most reliable of reality-show finalist consolation phrases  "We're all winners, really" – this usually bogus claim will actually have some financial substance to it.
An approximate 2% take-up rate might not sound like much, but with an audience of approximately half a million, that adds up to 10,000 downloads. And after this week's show-stopping performances by both the aforementioned pre-teen Joanna Newsom devotee and improbably well-drilled Essex rude-boys Missing Andy (who are a bit like Hard-Fi or the Ordinary Boys, only good), these figures look set to rise substantially by the time of Sunday's live final.

"There are rehearsals I have to be at in London a few days before the final and I have to record the track Focus for release. I wrote the song for someone who means a lot to me."The final is going to be the biggest performance of my life.If I win the £100,000, it will all go into recording, touring and promotion. I am serious about this. I want to make music for the rest of my life so I am grabbing it by both horns.

In the years since Top of the Pops took its last journey to the merciful veterinarian, British TV's quest for a Simon Cowell-free prime-time music format has assumed the unlikely character of Ferdinand Magellan's search for the north-west passage. And if you were looking for likely sources of a radical restructuring of the relationship between TV and original songwriting, an early evening Sky talent show presented by Fearne Cotton would not be the first one you'd think of.
Whodini is one of my favorite old school hip hop groups. This is their second album and is from 1984. It is my favorite of all of them. The standout songs are "Five Minutes of Funk", "Freaks Come out at Night", "Friends", and "Big Mouth". Other songs here are "Featuring Grand Master Dee", "Escape (I Need a Break)", "Out of Control", and "We Are Whodini". This is a classic old school album. I also like their Funky Beat: The Best of Whodini album.This is the Jungle Brothers debut album. I like the laid-back rap style on their songs. The title song "Straight out the Jungle" is my favorite. "Black Is Black", "Jimbrowski", "I'm Gonna Do You", "I'll House You", "Behind the Bush", and "Because I Got It Like That" are some of the other songs I like.

Then Dexter McCluster lines up somewhere in the offense, and there's reason to pay attention. So Tuesday, the rookie took turns at receiver, Wildcat quarterback and kick returner, and he looked like a weapon at all three positions. Add running back to the equation, and coach Todd Haley has a quandary to contend with — because those on the sideline aren't the only ones who pay attention when McCluster lines up.

"The coaches have their agendas," Haley said of his assistants, and he proceeded to rattle off the names of four coaches who want their due time with McCluster.

"I've shown that I am smart enough to learn not only one but a variety of positions," McCluster said. "I pride myself on my versatility, and I'm glad that a lot of the coaches want to move me around. The thing about me is: I want to make sure, whether I'm at running back, slot receiver or returning, that I know what to do, when to do it, and will do it to the best of my ability.

The coaches have their agendas," Haley said of his assistants, and he proceeded to rattle off the names of four coaches who want their due time with McCluster.Haley said that coordinator Charlie Weis would use McCluster on every play if he could. Assistant head coach Maurice Carthon wants to steal him to play running back. Receivers coach Richie Anderson and special-teams coach Steve Hoffman want him, too.

Kansas City Chiefs At Cincinnati Bengals NFL | Kansas City Chiefs Analysis Stats And Scores | A Professional Football Team

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 02:27 AM PDT


 The other game pits two division rivals from the AFC West against each other in the first of two games that they will play this year. Kansas City is trying to prove that they are relevant once again, while San Diego is taking their first step without Tomlinson and Vincent Jackson. It should be an interesting debut for all four teams, and most of the country gets to see these games taking place during primetime Monday night.Ryan Mathews, who is replacing perennial Pro Bowler LaDainian Tomlinson in the Chargers' backfield, took a brutal hit by Derrick Johnson and lost the ball. Brandon Carr scooped it up and ran 16 yards to the San Diego 12 and Cassel made it 14-7 with a 2-yard TD pass to rookie tight end Tony Moeaki.

McCluster, a scatback who was a training camp sensation with his quickness and flair, took a San Diego punt in heavy rain in the second quarter and cut left. He sailed almost untouched down the sideline and got the only block he needed from Andy Studebaker in a 94-yard return that put KC on top 21-7 late in the half. The return broke Dante Hall's team record by one yard.
While Kansas City isn't expected to do much better than their four wins last season, the Chargers know that taking them lightly could mean a season-opening loss which is something this team can't afford.
"The fans tonight, what great energy out there," Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said.

"This is how I visualized Arrowhead and it's because of those people who were out there in some pretty difficult conditions and it didn't look like too many were shying away from it.

The planning and construction of the venue took six years, though fans are hopeful that it will not take that long to turn the team into playoff contenders.The team is rebuilding, bringing in Haley and general manager Scott Pioli last year. Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis, who helped turn the New England Patriots into a dynasty, are back together assuming their old jobs of defensive and offensive co-ordinators.

The team has also been using its poor results the last few seasons to harvest a crop of promising draft picks including McCluster and free safety Eric Berry, who both contributed to Monday's upset result.
Holmgren did not attend the Browns' season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, and most presumed it was because of recent foot surgery. But Holmgren said his back ''went wacko'' because of his foot, and he had to have an epidural.

''I watched the game laying on my stomach in my den, looking up at the TV,'' he said. ''Right now I'm in a lot of pain.I'll be there. I'm not missing another game.The Heritage Hall event kicked off Ring of Honor week. Through Sunday, the new exhibit on the north side of Cleveland Browns Stadium will include the original busts of the 16 hall of famers, along with jerseys, shoes and other memorabilia from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The memorabilia will be rotated, and copies of the busts are being made.
Also attending the press conference were Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, president and executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Steve Perry, and former and current Browns Joshua Cribbs, Eric Steinbach, Kevin Mack and Frank Stams.

''I can't get enough of this stuff. Football has been how I've been able to provide for my family and then to be able to get involved in stuff like this, it's the bonus, it's the cherry on top of the sundae,'' Holmgren said. ''I love it.
Hello again, Kansas City Chiefs fans. You're back and you're loud again.

Through the television and radio, you could hear the Tomahawk Chop from the Arrowhead Stadium crowd pick up with less than a minute left in the game. The Chargers were driving, down by a touchdown. They quickly made it to the 4-yard line and the Kansas City Chiefs defense not only held the Chargers on a goal line stand but drove them back a couple of yards too.

Fallon appeared in a pre-taped segment with cast members from "Glee" (Jane Lynch, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Corey Monteith and Amber Riley), Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Jorge Garcia, Nina Dobrev, Tim Gunn and Joel McHale teaming up to perform Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." (Props to McHale for showing up after he and his show, "Community," were snubbed by Emmy.The performers then burst on stage to do backup for Fallon and "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson.

The opener topped Neil Patrick Harris' bit last year–or was at least as great. Kate Gosselin mocked her own appearance on "Dancing with the Stars" when the group declined her offer to join their glee club. It also included the obligatory Betty White appearance, which set up her and Hamm's presentation of the first award of the night.We have a very limited amount of invitations at the moment, but mail us a few lines about yourself and material you'd might be able to contribute with and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We haven't written any of the text on this blog, almost every post is copy/paste and therefore created by other people. One more important thing to have in mind when viewing some of the work we share at this blog, is that it's often intended to be installed/presented in a gallery.Japan in 1977 and currently lives in London. He uses lo-tech video animation to create poetic dreamscapes - ruminations on ideas of time and motion, innocence and alienation, dislocation and displacement.

His seminal film, 'Dwelling', 2002 was accomplished while still a graduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and brought him to the attention of the international art world through exhibitions including New Contemporaries and East International.Certain leitmotifs recur throughout the films - a child's rocking horse, migrating animals, model jet planes - objects which play out notions of travel and nomadism, of being at home and thinking of elsewhere.

This is not an attack, but in a way it is - if that is what it takes for you to simply drop everything that stops you from feeling for people. Feel for people. Actually, I would say your number one focus - if your life quality, whether it be level of professional success or just love in your lie, is way below your standard should be on feeling for people.

Because when you do, your life becomes much more exciting. Your face opens up - because it has to be open, for you to feel for people - which allows you to take in all the different nuances of your experiences, while at the same time relieving you of a lot of the stress that being emotionally closed up gives rise to. You do not have to deal, anymore, with all the "what if they do not like what I am saying?" - if you are simply focused on the problems that THAT person has, which focusing on the rhythms of that person will provide to you the opportunity to choose to do.

The reason I am talking about rhythms in the context of social interaction, is that doing so is a great way to activate yourself - a great way to see "the matrix" of social interaction. Think of rhythms, and you will have a much easier time adapting your body language - so as to make people around you comfortable; you will make friends easier this way. In other words, you are aware of their rhythms which you become first when you let go of your mind, which you do by relaxing - you feel into them, and you adapt your body language to make them feel good. Simple.

Posted: 14 Sep 2010 01:10 AM PDT


 The fifth member of the gang, Alvo, lives in Majorca, having made his fortune in property. Now in their 40s; a mix of single, married and divorced; they've been invited out to Alvo's villa to celebrate his retirement. However, their trip does not work out as planned and takes a dark turn when the holiday becomes a labyrinthine nightmare of lies, deception and murder. Mad Dogs is a darkly comic twisted tale of friendship put to the ultimate test as an inconceivable chain of events unfolds. Four ordinary blokes faced with a set of extraordinary circumstances and not handling it!

On the eve of the start of filming John Simm said: "I feel very lucky to be involved in such an exciting project. It's always a joy to work with Marc and Phil of course. With Max and the brilliant Adrian Shergold also involved this promises to be a wonderful experience.Writer Cris Cole added: "As well as enjoying writing for such a fantastic cast, I was also delighted to be able to attempt such an ambitious and cinematic thriller drawing on influences like David Lynch and the Coen Brothers as inspiration for the kind of storytelling that is

The fortysomethings are invited to a friend's villa in Majorca to celebrate the retirement party for another old school friend, Alvo, who has made his fortune in property. However, the holiday turns into a "labyrinthine nightmare of lies, deception and murder".Mad Dogs is due to air on Sky1 and Sky1 HD in four, 60-minute episodes in the spring of 2011. Location filming in Majorca begins this week.The drama has been written by Cris Cole and is being made by the independent producer Left Bank Pictures, the company responsible for Wallander and the Sky1 drama Strike Back, which begins this week. Mad Dogs was commissioned by Elaine Pyke, Sky1's head of drama.

MAD DOGS centres around the reunion of a group of old friends. Woody (Beesley), Quinn (Glenister), Baxter (Simm) and Rick (Warren) have been mates since sixth form. The fifth member of the gang, Alvo, lives in Majorca, having made his fortune in property. Now in their 40s; a mix of single, married and divorced; they've been invited out to Alvo's villa to celebrate his retirement.

MAD DOGS is a darkly comic twisted tale of friendship put to the ultimate test as an inconceivable chain of events unfolds. Four ordinary blokes faced with a set of extraordinary circumstances and not handling it!

"I feel very lucky to be involved in such an exciting project. It's always a joy to work with Marc and Phil of course. With Max and the brilliant Adrian Shergold also involved this promises to be a wonderful experience. We have quality running all the way through this production so hopefully together we can make MAD DOGS something really special.In many ways the idea for MAD DOGS was born out of friendship: it was both the long-term friendships of Phil, John, Marc and Max, who had decided they wanted to work together and my own friendship with Phil and writer Cris Cole that pulled us all together. We are all roughly the same age, and at the same phase of life, and so it seemed fitting for us to place themes of 'growing older' and friendship at the heart of MAD DOGS, and to create a drama that would allow us to explore the darker recesses of both." – Suzanne Mackie, executive producer.

House plans and home plans are in our blood. The second generation has joined this family-run house plan business to help you find your dream house plan. Look through house plans from dozens of U.S. and Canadian home designers. Whether you are looking for a quick building estimate, a free home design modification estimate, or eight sets of a country house plan to fulfill your needs, you have come to the right place.

The House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC) (now incorporated under companies as "HBFC Ltd." ordinance 1984 since July, 2007) was established in the year 1952 as a Statutory Federal Body with the object of providing financial assistance for construction and purchase of houses to the people of Pakistan in urban as well as rural areas. With its establishment, the concept of institutionalized housing finance was introduced for the first time in Indo-Pak sub-continent for providing long term finance for house building.

The House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC) was established on April 18, 1952 through an act of Parliament. The concept behind its constitution by the Government of Pakistan was to alleviate the housing problems of the unprecedented number of refugees who had to influx from India to a newly born Islamic state Pakistan in 1947.The HBFC is a Government owned financial institution in Pakistan catering to housing needs of the people belonging to all walks of life especially the low and middle income strata of the country by providing Small and Medium Housing (SMH) solutions.

Members of the committee said that strict regulations, corruption, high interest rate and centralised process for approvals had been causing problems for ordinary citizens in securing HBFC loans.The meeting was informed that the country was facing a shortfall of 8.2 million houses due to population growth, urbanisation and backlog.The HBFC was directed to consult the stakeholders and ensure smooth lending on competitive rates, especially to the poor so that the government's agenda of providing shelter to the one million poor is accomplished.

The representative of the Association of Builders and Developers said the policies of HBFC were not industry friendly and urged the committee to suggest amendments to the credit criteria, terms and conditions issued by the corporation.The committee observed that the HBFC needed to increase its efficiency by expanding its operations and introducing innovative products to provide solution to the housing problems of lower- and middle-class population.
