National law firm Irwin Mitchell is advising Judge Gilham, who has today launched a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for her appeal in the upcoming Supreme Court case Gilham – v – Ministry of Justice which is listed for June 2019.
Similarly to the principles in the high profile Uber and Deliveroo workers’ rights cases, Judge Gilham is appealing against the decision that judges are not workers and therefore do not benefit from whistleblowing protection. She seeks to raise £10,000 by 12th December to help pay for her Supreme Court Fees and the cost of lodging the initial documentation with the Supreme Court.
The appeal follows a five year legal wrangle for Judge Gilham who initially raised issues relating to management style and culture, bullying, overwork, and general health and safety at Warrington County Court in 2013. When her complaints were not dealt with satisfactorily, and she was treated less favourably as a result, Judge Gilham was forced to bring her claim in the Employment Tribunal for whistleblowing detriment in February 2015.
The Employment Tribunal held that judges are not workers and by extension do not enjoy the protection of section 47B of the 1996 Act. Furthermore, it was held that as judges are not workers, they also are not protected from infringement of the right to freedom of expression (Article 10 ECHR) under domestic law.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal and Court of Appeal upheld the Employment Tribunal’s findings.
Judge Gilham is determined to take her case to the Supreme Court, where she will argue that:
- Judges are workers within the meaning of section 230(3)(b) of the 1996 Act under either:
- A contract of employment with the Lord Chancellor and/or the Ministry of Justice; or
- Crown employment within the meaning of section 191 of the 1996 Act.
- If the answer to (1)(i) or (ii) is no, the definitions of ‘worker’ and/or ‘Crown employment’ must be read and given effect to in a way which is compatible with the Appellant’s ECHR rights under Article 10 or Article 14.
The case has already established considerable media interest and will be a key decision impacting on the current stream of litigation enforcing and protecting worker’s rights.
Emilie Cole, partner in Irwin Mitchell’s Employment team will be advising Judge Gillam supported by paralegal Louise Ash.
Expert Opinion“Judges must have the right to speak out and blow the whistle, safe in the knowledge that they will be protected for doing so. As the gatekeepers of our justice system, their basic human right to speak out about breaches of the law goes hand in hand with their judicial duty and responsibility.” Emilie Cole - Partner

Drew McDowall - CollapseDrew McDowall is perhaps best known for his work with Coil, but you can't say that in recent years he has been inactive. Since leaving London and Coil for New York, Drew McDowall has been a regular fixture on the New York experimental and electronic scene, performing solo shows, remixing Long Distance Poison and Azar Swan and contributing to the soundtrack to Are You Okay a short film by Bret Easton Ellis for the Dum Dum Girls. Along with Kara Bohnenstiel he formed the short-lived Captain Sons and Daughters project but his post Coil work has largely been represented by the meditative drone and modular synth work with Tres Warren (Psychic Ills) as Compound Eye.
Some of Drew McDowall's work with Coil has recently been (re)issued by Cold Spring including Recoiled featuring Coil's remix work for Nine Inch Nails and Backwards, a belated release of their ill-fated and shelved recordings originally destined for Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor's Nothing Records. Drew McDowall spent 7 or so years as a member of Coil and Collapse continues the sensibility and approach he brought to Coil. But if anything from the Coil sound has seeped into Collapse it is particularly of the Coil side projects; the surreal warped sidereal sound of Black Light District and the tonal psychedelic shifts of Time Machines.Collapse is the first solo album from Drew McDowall, and with its abstract structure and textures it sure has been worth the wait.
Collapse begins with a fantastic triptych under the intriguing title of 'The Chimeric Mesh Withdraws (Parts 1-3)'. Its opening austere electronic workings create cavernous layers more akin to dark ambient. It doesn't languish in the depths too long before disembodied and treated piano notes pass against the hiss of industrial hum, with movements of metallic screech and rays of skittering electronics. Despite the myriad of textural elements McDowall remains resolutely in control crafting mammoth blocks of abstract sound into electronic shudders, before allowing the wavering drones and electronic chatter, which comprise the second segment, to surface to create chiming alien melodies. From here hurtling phased voice effects transform into pulsating electronics, over faint melodic synth lines ebbing out in a vague throb sliced with black psychedelic nebulous tones. It's a brilliantly fascinating side long piece and throughout its 20 minute duration McDowall shows a remarkable sense of experimentation and restraint in its construction.
Collapse quickly changes approach on the second side containing four shorter pieces. Whereas on 'The Chimeric Mesh Withdraws (Parts 1-3)' it is apparent that McDowall is the architect of the sound, on 'Hypnotic Congress' it almost seems as if he has yielded to the machines resulting in a cyclical flow of heaving textures and throbs, morphing into a heavily processed loop of chanting with voices as otherworldy as Sleazy's Threshold HouseBoys Choir. Within the confines of Collapse it rates as the most accessible and immediate sound form as a result of the stellar space groove of quickened metallic pulse and disintegrated loops, furnished by a distorted modular synth chime of sorts, which accompanies the alien chorus of manipulated voices.
'Through Is Out' foregoes the rhythmic cascade and cavernous blocks of abstract sound of the earlier tracks for gentle oscillations and whimpering processed violin strings, performed by pop-experimentalist Hiro Kone aka Nicky Mao. Shorn of the alien landscapes visited on the earlier tracks it belies a much warmer sound inhabiting the same sacred space that made Coil's Musick To Play In The Dark so reverential. The dizzying drone and pulse-like electronics carry an angelic atmospheric hum, which seems formed from layers of manipulated voices. It's hard to be sure, as everything on Collapse is subject to multiple treatments and reprocessing. But it is in the drone fixated end section where amidst the angelic conversation and waft of violin and electro pulses that you expect the spoken tones of John Balance to materialize. They don't though, and why should they, on this solo album from Drew McDowall.
By the time we get to 'Convulse' the layers have been stripped back to reveal a human voice, in the form of a female voice toying with repetitious wordplay. In varying vocal inflections - and perhaps different voices - the words "I convulsed" are repeated over dull echoing thuds and stuttered fired rhythms with the occasional blast of muted wailing synths. It's perhaps the least engaging track on Collapse. At this point the entire recording of Collapse seem likes it has been a form of catharsis or rebirth moving from abstract thoughts through being lost in cyclical patterns to achieving a sense of recognition before the final track offers a sense of future possibility. It is however a path not fully realised, as drone patterns move into Kraut electronics which despite its obvious melodiousness are never given the opportunity to be given full flight.
Collapse is a deeply immersive and engaging listen and - even though I could do without the vocal touches of 'Convulse' - it occasionally taps into the meditative space sound of Compound Eye due to McDowall's preferred choice of instrument: the modular synth. Only the occasional track, like 'Through Is Out', carries obvious remnants of a Coil sound. So anyone expecting a song based continuation of the works of Coil will be sorely disappointed. Since leaving Coil McDowall has pursued more pure experimental and abstract music. And on Collapse those sounds have been so heavily processed, warped and morphed they take on a sensibility of decay and derangement. Collapse continues with the textural and tone based approach McDowall brought to Coil and one that he has furthered in his solo shows and in his subsequent projects. Collapse is already in its second pressing, so Drew McDowall must be doing something right. Illuminating and deeply immersive, it is a great experimental electronic record.

“Loki” dominates demand in India; Prime Video takes 40% of digital top 10 – Parrot Analytics
20 November 2023
Disney’s "Loki" is enjoying runaway demand in India, ending the week of 13 November with demand more than 10 points ahead of the average show measured by data science company Parrot Analytics in the market.
The closest competitor for the week was Japanese anime series, "Jujutsu Kaisen", with demand slightly ahead of "Bigg Boss", India’s version of Banijay’s "Big Brother", which airs across multiple platforms.
"Kaala Paani", which has topped Netflix India’s top 10 TV shows from 16 October to date, was second on the digital originals list and fourth on the overall list for the week.
Four Prime Video titles made it to the top 10, led by long-running comedy series, "Hostel Daze", about four friends living together at an engineering hostel in India.

Using your television for a computer monitor is an easy and inexpensive way to up your screen space. There are wireless methods which require software and components, or there is the good old-fashioned way; a couple of cables and about 10 minutes of time. Here we will discuss 2 of the easiest methods for connecting your television to your computer.
• You will need: 1 HDMI Cable
If your television and computer have HDMI connections, this will be the easiest way to connect both devices. HDMI transmits both HD video and sound. Simply run an HDMI cable from an open port on your television to an open HDMI port on your computer. Depending on what type of computer you have, there may be some extra steps. But more likely than not, your computer screen should be duplicated on your television.
VGA + RCA Cable
• You will need: 1 VGA Cable and 1 RCA to 3.5mm stereo jack cable.
If you have an older model television, this option is going to work best for you. Take your VGA cable. Plug one end to your computer and the other to your television. This should provide you with video feed. You may notice after that you have no sound. To play audio through the television’s speakers, you will need an RCA to 3.5mm stereo jack cable. This cable looks similar to the old cables used to plug up VCR’s and older video game consoles, however, it will be missing the yellow plug and one end will be fitted with the familiar AUX 3.5mm jack. Simply plug up the red and white RCA adapters to the back of your television in the correct ports and run the 3.5mm jack to the speaker or headphone jack on your computer. (If you are using a desktop, the AUX jack will go in the light green port at the back of your computer).
What about using your computer as a cell phone monitor?
Cell Phone Spy Software
With a cell phone spy, like the ones you can find on http://surepointspy.com/, you can view all of the text messages, call logs, social media, emails, etc.
- Purchasing: At http://surepointspy.com/how-it-works/ you will see exactly how this software works and then proceed to the “buy now” page. When purchasing you will be prompted to set up login credentials. These will be used later.
- Access to target phone: Make sure you can get your hands on the person’s phone that you would like to monitor. You will need about 3-5 minutes to download the software to the target phone. Then you won’t need it any more for as long as you want to monitor.
- Control Panel: Use the login information you created when you purchased the software to log into the control panel. This is where you’ll see all the information that gets extracted from the target phone.
THAT’S It! If you have any issues, or if your display is not working correctly, try these troubleshooting tips.
- Are your connections secured?
Make sure all cables are properly attached to their correct ports.
- Make sure the correct source is selected on your television.
Switch between video sources on your television and make sure you aren’t just on the wrong video source. Example: Your HDMI cord it plugged into HDMI port 2 but your television is displaying HDMI port 1 feed. Many televisions will have a PC option for VGA cable display. Make sure you rotate through the sources just to be sure.
- Check for additional steps specific to your computer and operating system.
Your device may require additional steps to display your screen on your tv. Windows gives you multiple options to adjust how you use the tv; as an extension of your computer screen, as a mirror image or as the only screen. Choose the one you like best.
- If you have an older television:
If you are still having issues, take a look at the connections available on the back of your set. Make sure they are compatible with the ports available on your computer. If you have a significantly older television, you may need a cable adapter to fit what you have available. You can find adapters for very cheap online and in computer and office supply stores.
- If your software isn’t working correctly.

170.0000 COLLECTION OF TAX BY BOARD
(a) IN GENERAL
170.0011 Nominee Lien. A taxpayer was issued a seller's permit in 1987 to operate a service station. In December 1992, the Board issued a Notice of Determination to this taxpayer in the total sum of $90,983.66. In 1987, the taxpayer and his wife were deeded property as joint tenants. At the time of this transfer, $260.70 documentary transfer tax was paid when the deed was recorded. On June 29,1994, this property was deeded by the taxpayer and his wife as joint tenants to the wife, as her sole and separate property. The deed transferring this property shows no documentary tax was paid.
In this case, the transfer to the wife as her separate property was fraudulent as to the State Board of Equalization within the meaning of Civil Code section 3439.04 as the transfer was made with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud the Board. Thus, it is appropriate to file a nominee lien. 7/18/95.

Sonny Bill Williams' return to the NRL has taken a significant step forward this afternoon with the former All Black named on the Roosters' bench for Saturday's game against the Raiders.
Williams has been handed the No.17 jersey by coach Trent Robinson for the match - the first time his name has featured in a Roosters line-up since 2014.
The 35-year-old joined the Roosters last month after his Super League club - the Toronto Wolfpack - confirmed they wouldn't participate in a season restart in the UK due to financial issues brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The decision paved the way for Williams to return to the NRL and after his two weeks in quarantine in Australia, he teamed up with Sydney and has been training with the side with the goal of featuring in the final few rounds of the competition before playoffs.
Roosters fullback James Tedesco says he's confident Williams will be up to the challenge after a quick return to playing.
"I think it would have been a risk if we tried to rush him in straight away. You know, he's had two weeks in quarantine, looking after his body and two weeks at training getting in the running and the body moving," Tedesco said.
"There is a lot of hype but it's warranted - the guy he is and the player he is.
"Everyone has high expectations going off what he did in the NRL a while ago now. But as a person and player, he is such a professional.
"He's going to be a class act for us. He's older and probably not as fit as he was in his 20s but, skilfully, he's still got it. I'm sure he'll hit pretty hard as well."
The Roosters play the Raiders at 9.30pm NZT on Saturday.

Roasted Root Vegetables
These are the types of vegetables that work well together:
sweet potatoes, white potatoes, parsnips, carrots, rutabaga and other forms of gourmet potatoes: purple& red.
If you can’t find these or don’t like something, just use what you have/ like. Every time I make it, it is different.
Add ins: red onions, green pepper, garlic (minced)
Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnips (and any other veggies that need peeling) and cut them into chunks. For the potatoes and carrots, you don’t need to peel them. Just wash them and cut into chunks.
Cut up your onions and peppers and whatever add-ins.
If you aren’t cooking them right away, you can soak the roots in salted water. (This will prevent them from getting discolored) The add-ins don’t need to be soaked.
Drain off the water and add your add-ins to the roasting pan. Mix up the entire mixture in the roasting pan with your hands. Toss with olive oil and kosher salt. For a big bunch of veggies, I used 1/2 cup olive oil and Kosher salt to taste.
Roasting: 400* for one hour/ stirring every twenty minutes. The roasting really brings out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and carrots.
For the above picture, this is exactly what I put in there:
3 large sweet potatoes
3 large baking potatoes
1 bag parsnips (5 large)
3 cups yellow carrots
1 large red onion
1 large green pepper
1/2 cup olive oil, 1-2 t. kosher salt.
That, my friends, is what Works for ME this week. Yummy!

The machines used in mining and tunnelling are usually highly specialised and therefore expensive. By purchasing or renting the required dedusting, cooling and ventilation systems, roadheaders and dinting loaders from CST, the project-related investment volume can be reduced considerably - there is no need for extensive capital commitment.
In the case of rent, the costs incurred are based solely on the length of the rental period and usually remain significantly below the acquisition costs of a new acquisition. This is particularly an advantage, as many mining and tunnelling machines are only needed for temporary use. Even the follow-up costs associated with a new acquisition for the maintenance and repair of the dedusting, cooling and ventilation systems, roadheaders and dinting loaders remain within reasonable limits if the necessary equipment is rented. In addition, there is no need to keep halls for the storage and maintenance of the mining and tunnelling machines.
The used mining and tunnelling machines purchased or rented from CST are operationally tested and generally overhauled, so that the equipment is always up to the standard of new machines of the same type. The use of the high-quality dedusting, cooling and ventilation systems, roadheaders and dinting loaders bearing the "refurbished by CST" seal is an excellent choice, both economically and ecologically. The fact that there is no need to dispose of existing machines and manufacture new ones has a lasting positive effect on the CO2 balance. An added value from which your company can also benefit in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

When working with Submodels you will often use Callouts. This is what LEGO does too in its instructions. You could see a Callout as a Step Group in a different colored box with an arrow pointing to the position where the Submodel is placed in the main model. Like the Parts List setup this dialog has two tabs too.
The settings in the Background/Border tab are similar to the other setups that have this kind of tab. Experiment with it.
The Contents tab is similar to others too.
It is recommended to uncheck the Parts List Per Step checkbox. In most cases it is not desirable to display a PLI per step in a Callout. Use the same font for the Step Number as the Assembly- and Step Group Step Numbers, but use a smaller size. Use font size 16 or 18 for the Times Used option. This is shown when the same Submodel is used more than once in the same step.

Press Release: HHRC Celebrates 35th Anniversary
Zarzal FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 23, 2020
Shenna Bellows, Executive Director
Marpheen Chann, Development & Communications Associate
http://alpineguide.cz/cs--kontaktOranÃƒâ€žÃ‚Â¹Ãƒâ€¦Ã‚Â¾ovÃƒâ€žÃ¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€¹Ã‚ The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine Celebrates 35 Years of Holocaust and Human Rights Education
mujer soltera de villamediana de iregua AUGUSTA, Maine – The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine (HHRC) today is celebrating thirty-five years of Holocaust and human rights education and programming for Maine students, teachers and community members.
The HHRC was founded on April 23, 1985, when a group of Holocaust survivors, their families and allies gathered at the Blaine House to commemorate Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day. Following the ceremony, Holocaust survivor Gerda Haas then led the group to file the necessary papers for a non-profit.
Thirty-five years later, the HHRC has a permanent home at the Michael Klahr Center located on the University of Maine at Augusta campus and continues to provide educational Holocaust and human rights progamming through exhibits, events, in-school programming and, now, through online education.
This week, the HHRC kicked off its online Holocaust and human rights education program for students and teachers on Yom HaShoah with a virtual workshop about the Holocaust titled “Decision Making In Times of Injustice” for students and teachers from Lewiston, Maranacook and Messalonskee.
“We know that racism, anti-Semitism and hate are viruses too and that pandemics bring out the worst in some people even as they bring out the best in most of us. Given our extraordinary mission, history and resources, the HHRC has the unique power to stand up against hate by providing public, online tools to inspire and educate people to advance equity and inclusion,” HHRC Executive Director Shenna Bellows said. “Bringing Holocaust and human rights education directly to Maine students, teachers and community members where they are is of critical importance in a world that is relying more and more on technology and online learning,”
The HHRC started its weeklong commemoration of Yom HaShoah and its 35th anniversary with a virtual Yom HaShoah remembrance ceremony Sunday evening, hosting over 100 members of the public for reflections by the children of Holocaust survivors, Rabbi Erica Asch of Temple Beth El and HHRC staff and board.
“We have a moral responsibility now and forever to never forget, to work toward never again and to do everything we can to confront prejudice, discrimination and intolerance, said Bellows. “Despite the pandemic and school closures, the HHRC is committed to carrying on the legacy of our founders to ensure that the stories and lessons shared by Holocaust survivors are remembered and shared.”


The 19th hole

Live at 17: It is difficult to deny the aura of the 17th hole at the TPC-Sawgrass, where a seemingly simple tee shot can make the knees of even the best players in the world buckle. Not wanting to miss any of the excitement, the PGA Tour's Web site, www.pgatour.com will offer Live@17 today and Friday. Every shot on the hole will be shown on the Internet, with a simulcast on ESPN Classic.

SpaceX has built itself a shiny new rocket.
Assembly of the test-flight version of SpaceX's Mars-colonizing Starship vehicle is now complete, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk announced Thursday night (Jan. 10). The suborbital, hopping rocket is a sleek, shiny craft with three prominent fins that end in landing pads.
Construction - Milestone - SpaceX - Target - Flights
The construction milestone seems to keep SpaceX on target to begin short "hopping" flights with the prototype vehicle soon. Musk said earlier this week that SpaceX aims to start such trial runs, which will take place at the Texas site near Brownsville, in the next four to eight weeks.
These flights will be similar to those that SpaceX performed in 2012 and 2013 with its Grasshopper test vehicle, Musk added in another tweet Thursday night. The Grasshopper runs, which helped SpaceX get ready to land and re-fly Falcon 9 rocket first stages, reached a maximum altitude of about 2,500 feet (700 meters).
Starship - Super - Heavy - Variety - Work
Starship and the Super Heavy will do a variety of other work as well. SpaceX plans to have the duo take over all of the company's spaceflight duties eventually, from launching satellites to supplying and servicing orbiting space stations to ferrying people on superfast "point to...

For most of us, the instinctual response to this question is ‘100 minutes’ – but our instincts are wrong. The answer is actually 5 minutes. This problem demonstrates the two systems of thinking discussed by Daniel Kahneman in his 2011 book Thinking Fast and Slow.
According to Kahneman, System 1 operates automatically and quickly, based on memories and emotional reactions, while System 2 allows for slower, more complex analysis of logic and probability. So in this case, System 1 leads us to assume ‘100 minutes’ is the correct answer before System 2 had an opportunity to overrule an initial impulse with logical reasoning.
System 2 thinking requires considerably more effort. While it is entirely possible for our brains to process multiple simple things at once, processing effortful activities at once is near impossible. As Kahneman quips, ‘You could not complete the product of 17 x 24 while making a left turn into dense traffic, and you certainly should not try.’
System 2 can be lazy. Most of the time we rely on System 1, and only when conflict occurs or System 1 runs into difficulty does System 2 fully activate. As the 100 machines problem demonstrates, System 1 has limitations and biases and is prone to making errors. To overcome these errors, it is necessary to engage System 2 and pay attention.

More Than 200 Projects are included in the Archigram Archival Project. The AAP uses the group’s mainly chronological numbering system and includes everything given an Archigram project number. This comprises projects done by members before they met, the Archigram magazines (grouped together at no. 100), the projects done by Archigram as a group between 1961 and 1974, and some later projects.
Competitions Harlow Housing
Harlow Development Corporation invites architects to submit designs for houses and flats to be erected on a site in Passmores Neighbourhood, Harlow, Essex. With the aim of stimulating new thinking about questions of layout and house design, an interesting, undulating site has been chosen, and among the general conditions of the competition the Corporation points out:
It is sometimes said that architects are too restricted by rules and regulations that were framed a generation or more ago; that new ideas, new forms of construction, new conceptions of the use and furnishing of living space, are stifled because of the need for strict compliance with building bye-laws, street bye-laws, doctrines of the local planning authority, specifications of the Housing Manual, stipulations of the fire, police, sanitary and traffic authorities and local government. All these regulations are directed to specific points that must be satisfactorily met, but if architects, while having full regard for the underlying objects of existing regulations were given a freer hand to solve these old problems in new ways, it might result in a pattern of living the better suited to the needs of modern urban society and might even mark an outstanding advance in architectural development.
”Where a winning entry does not conform to certain of the statutory and other requirements listed above but nevertheless provides a satisfactory pattern for living … the Corporation will be prepared to seek the necessary relaxations and approvals required from the responsible authorities concerned.”
Assessors are H. T. Cadbury-Brown. A.A.Dip. (Hons.), F.R.I.B.A. and Victor Hamnett, B.S.C., A.R.I.B.A., DIP.T.P., A.R.I.C.S., A.M.P.T.I., (executive architect to the Development Corporation). First prize will be £1,000, second, £750; and 3rd prize, £500. Final date for questions to the General Manager, Harlow Development Corporation, Terlings, Harlow, Essex, September 1, 1960. Closing date for entries, March 6, 1961.

We have all faced moments in our lives when the pressure mounts beyond what we feel we can handle, and we find ourselves thinking that we do not have the strength to carry on. Sometimes we have just gotten through a major obstacle or illness only to find another one waiting for us the moment we finally catch our breath. Sometimes we endure one loss after another, wondering when we will get a break from life's travails. It does not seem fair or right that life should demand more of us when we feel we have given all we can, but sometimes this is the way life works.
When we look back on our lives, we see that we have survived many trials and surmounted many obstacles, often to our own amazement. In each of those instances, we had to break through our ideas about how much we can handle and go deeper into our hidden reserves. The thought that we do not have the strength to handle what is before us can be likened to the hard surface of a frozen lake. It appears to be an impenetrable fact, but when we break through it, we find that a deep well of energy and inspiration was trapped beneath that icy barrier the whole time. Sometimes we break through by cutting a hole into our resistance with our willpower, and sometimes we melt the ice with compassion for our predicament and ourselves. Either way, each time we break through, we reach a new understanding of the strength we store within ourselves.
When we find ourselves up against that frozen barrier of thinking we cannot handle our situation, we may find that the kindest choice is to love ourselves and our resistance too. We can simply accept that we are overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched, and we can offer ourselves loving kindness and compassion. If we can extend to ourselves the unconditional warmth of a mother's love, before we know it, the ice will begin to break.
Many of us want to develop a regular exercise routine to relieve stress and feel lighter, clearer, and happier -- if only we could find the time in our busy schedules. Now you can jump-start your day (and your life) with a powerful 4-minute workout that you can enjoy in the comfort and privacy of your home, apartment, or hotel room when traveling. This is the same efficient routine that Dan himself has done each and every day for the past 27 years - at home or on the road. The Peaceful Warrior 4-Minute Workout encourages real and sustainable weight loss and a renewed sense of well-being. You'll feel less stress, more energy, and improve your overall fitness. Its power lies in its simplicity -- because it's brief, easy, and fun, you're far more likely to make it a part of your life. If you haven't found time for regular exercise, the benefits of the 4-minute workout can be dramatic over time. And if you already have an active lifestyle, the workout provides a perfect body-mind warm-up for daily life.

More than three million of the lowest-income families will be left an average of £1,350 worse off by the Government’s squeeze on tax credits, new figures have disclosed.
David Cameron’s former anti-poverty tsar, Frank Field, said the figures made a mockery of the Prime Minister’s pledge during the general election campaign to stand up for hard-working “strivers”.
Under Chancellor George Osborne’s moves, the income threshold at which working tax credits begin to be taken away will be cut from £6,420 to £3,850 next April. The rate at which the payments are reduced will also be increased.
The House of Commons Library put the average loss at £1,350. Its analysis calculated that families with children with incomes of £20,000 to £30,000 would lose an average of £2,534 next year, while families with incomes of £10,000 to £20,000 would be £1,834 worse off.
Mr Field, the Labour chairman of the Commons Work and Pensions Select Committee, told The Independent: “Before, during, and after the general election campaign the Tories rightly gained plaudits for their commitment to protect and advance the interests of Britain’s strivers.
“Yet in his first post-election Budget the Chancellor has decided to knock this group for six.”

A Russian passenger plane's emergency landing in a cornfield near Moscow after birds were sucked into its engines has been hailed by state media as a "miracle" and compared to a 2009 U.S. flight's landing after striking a flock of geese.
Russians have said it was a miracle that no one was killed when the Ural Airlines Airbus 321 came down in a field southeast of Moscow with its landing gear up after hitting a passing flock of gulls, disrupting the plane's engines. The plane was traveling from Moscow to Crimea's Simferopol with 234 people on board.
“There was an emergency landing in Zhukovsky. Birds got into both engines. The engines turned off and the crew carried out the landing ... one kilometer away from the runway,” the state-run TASS news agency quoted Ural Airlines' general director, Sergei Skuratov, as saying.
One of the engines caught fire after the birds were sucked into them but the fire didn't spread into the passenger cabin, TASS quoted an unnamed emergency services source as saying.
Up to 74 people, including 19 children, were treated for injuries, six of whom have been hospitalized, Russian news agencies quoted the emergencies ministry as saying.
The plane's engines were turned off when it executed the emergency landing and it also had its landing gear up, according to Elena Mikheyeva, a spokeswoman for Russia's civil aviation authority.
Footage shot by passengers showed the flight lasted less than two minutes and that the engines had experienced difficulties almost immediately after take-off.
Vitya Babin, 11, who was on the plane with his mother and sister, said passengers had not been warned there was going to be an emergency landing. There was silence in the cabin and then screams began when it touched down, footage showed.
"We were not warned," said Babin.
One passenger, Fyodor Galin, told the Mash Telegram channel that the plane began to shake about 5 seconds after takeoff.
“Then the lights started flashing and there was a burning smell. The plane landed and we all ran out,” Galin can be seen saying in a video published by the Telegram channel.
Passenger-filmed videos showed people evacuating the aircraft and walking through the cornfield.
State television said the maneuver was being dubbed the "miracle over Ramensk," a reference to the Moscow region district where the plane came down.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid lauded pilot Damir Yusupov as a "hero," saying he had saved 233 lives, "having masterfully landed a plane without its landing gear with a failing engine right in a cornfield."
Some drew comparisons with U.S. Airways Flight 1549 which performed a landing on the Hudson River in 2009 after striking a flock of geese.
Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case into violation of air traffic safety and aircraft operation rules following the landing, Interfax reported.
A local resident quoted by the Govorit Moskva radio station said the gulls that struck the plane had probably come from an illegal rubbish dump near Zhukovsky airport.
Moscow region officials, however, rejected that assertion and said the nearest rubbish dump to the airport was 14 kilometers away, TASS reported.
Safety concerns have plagued Russia's airline industry since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, though standards are widely recognized to have sharply risen on international routes in particular in recent years.
Reuters contributed reporting to this article.

Commuter rail officials today apologized and admitted they had made a mistake after trains traveling Monday on the Boston-Worcester line experienced major delays. They also said they would reimburse people for their cost of travel and provide free rides on two trains this evening.
"MBCR continues to reach out to customers who were delayed yesterday with a sincere apology for the significant interruption they experienced," said Hugh Kiley Jr., general manager of the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad, which runs the commuter rail service for the T.
Train 523 left South Station at 5 p.m. Monday and was supposed to arrive at Worcester at 6:20 p.m. Due to an engine failure, it arrived at 9:04 p.m., said Scott Farmelant, an MBCR spokesman.
The engine from a later train was hooked to 523, causing delays for riders on the later train also.
Kiley said in a statement that rides would be free tonight on both trains.
The engine failed because its crankcase broke. Built in 1987 and rebuilt in 2001, the same engine had also caused delays earlier in the day on a Boston-Worcester run when its governor broke. But that problem was fixed by the time of the ill-fated afternoon run. The engine is now in the shop again, Farmelant said.
Farmelant said this morning that the problems "reflect the age of the commuter rail locomotive fleet" and were "extremely frustrating for everybody involved with MBTA passenger rail service."
"Both the T and MBCR recognize the need for renewed investment in equipment and are actively pursuing opportunities to lease additional locomotives," Farmelant said in a statement.
But this afternoon, Kiley said that after an examination of "protocols and procedures," the MBCR had realized that the decision to return the locomotive to service "was a mistake and that yesterday's delay could have been prevented."
"In hindsight, a more prudent course of action was warranted because the locomotive experienced a mechanical problem earlier in the day. While the final outcome was clearly not intended, the locomotive should not have been returned to service. For this, MBCR apologizes," the statement said.
Keith Nelson of Framingham said his wife was on the 5 p.m. train and he was on the later train that came to the disabled train's rescue. "The inconveniences the MBTA and MBCR have thrust upon its ridership this winter have been the worst I have seen in 15-plus years of commuting from Framingham to Boston," he wrote to boston.com.
"I'm sorry, the 'we apologize for the inconvenience' announcements and emails just don't mean anything anymore," said Nelson, who was one of a number of riders who spoke out in response to a query on boston.com.
"I understand the aging trains, weather problems and erroneous alerts, but when will these
issues be fixed?" wrote Sandra Cabral of Bolton, who was on the later train.

Collaboration with Nick Tobier for the Green Street Gallery, Boston, MA.
“Installations come in all stripes, and frequently they deal with the physical space that they occupy. In this case, Ellen Driscoll and Nick Tobier have extended the reach of their work to include a hefty chunk of the surrounding neighborhood. The Gallery at Green St. is situated in a spcae adjacent to the Green Street Station MBTA stop on the Orange Line, a working-class Jamaica Plain neighborhood. The artists documented the neighborhood with photographs that were taken in a quarter-mile radius around the gallery–roughly the area Green St. services. The images are an eclectic blend of buildings, signs, houses and even graffiti and litter. Gallery visitors…can push a wooden turnstile that spins like a subway gate. The turnstile drives..a wheel, and the axle, which passes through a wall, turns another large pinwheel type construction on the other side of the wall. The photographs of the neighborhood ..are mounted on the pinwheel’s outer edge…One can make numerous associations between “Turnscope” and the world outside the gallery; the turn-styles in Green Street Station below the street; the wheels of subway cars; the circular shape of subway tunnels. Commuting also brings to mind the circular pattern of one’s travels–leaving on the day’s journey and retracing one’s footsteps on the trip home. “Turnscope” lets viewers consider the space that the piece inhabits, and sense how the gallery is connected with the area outside of the building’s walls.” from Turnscope review in the Boston Globe, January 2001

Here is my latest creation using another one of my Torrente images.
This card is for the fabulously gruesome, "Ode to the Bruise" Macabre Monday challenge at Haunted Design House,
and the first challenge from The Burtonesque Dolls, to use stripes.
Barb at HDH, challenged us to use 'bruise colors' like,
black, purple, yellow, and teal(?).
Done, done, and done!
I really wasn't feeling the teal until I happened upon this perfect shade of
I shredded up the ends a bit to keep it creepy.
I used some striped vintage paper I found at a yard sale years ago. It came in a huge roll and I also got a roll of the most wickedly delicious red, flocked, whore house-type/boudoir, haunted mansion, wallpaper. Can't wait to use that!
Anyhoo, the striped paper is really old, but it is so cool and it also has a really neat texture to it.
I'm pretty sure it's not acid free, but then again neither am I.

Build a Better Tomato Cage
Master Gardener Bob Woods hs been growing tomatoes for 75 years. Bob had advice for helping your tomatoes grow strong and free of disease and pests.
SUPPORT YOUR TOMATOES
WOODEN STAKES PROVIDE SUPPORT
- If single or double stem, can use simple wooden stake (1”x2”or 2”x2”), tie plant to it. Use soft cloth strips, string works too.
- For multiple stem plants, use metal or wooden cage. Can buy from stores, but can be flimsy, expensive or too small.
BUILDING YOUR CAGE
1. Unroll a length of 20-30 ft. of mesh from the roll. Secure both ends, as is very springy, and edges are sharp. Safety glasses and gloves are strongly recommended.
Steel wire will rust and after several years, and wire “legs” into ground will break off. Solution is to just cut off the wire ring above, giving new legs, with cage 6” shorter.
- Cages can be stored by opening them and nesting one inside another.
- Get jump on neighbors, earlier ripe tomatoes. – plant early by protecting plants.
- Use wrapped cage with plastic (With milk jug), or small plastic tepee filled with water. Traps heat in day, gives back at night.
- For more information on growing tomatoes, click here. The guide is also available in Spanish click here.

Bob also learned a lot about growing tomatoes in Oregon, volunteering with a Portland nonprofit, “Growing-Gardens”.

Loans would aid buyers of foreclosures
As many as 1,000 California families could qualify for low-interest loans to purchase foreclosed homes, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced.
The state-backed Community Stabilization Home Loan Program will make $200 million from bond sales available to first-time buyers in ZIP Codes with large numbers of foreclosures.
The program will “help stabilize neighborhoods that have homes sitting empty,” the governor said at a ceremony in Stockton. The city is one of the nation’s worst hit from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market.

This has got to be my favourite flavour out of all the bars, as you can really taste the coconut and I find this one to be quite filling.
Seriously, how can this be diet worthy? I wasn't a regular chocolate bar eater but liked them occasionally but could happily eat one of these every day (not sure if that's good or bad). They definately cure that sweet craving, sometimes it can be a bit too much so I eat it in 2 parts but the consistency of this is spot on and I'd say the easiest to eat by far. I'm not a fan of the cereal bars as I find them too sweet, hard and way too chewy for my teeth but this really hits the spot. Surely this can't be diet food right? 😉
These are absolutely delicious, not too coconutty, just a great sweet treat!
This is genuinely the best of the bars out there. The desiccated coconut inside adds texture which the other bars lack. It's not like a bounty but flecked with coconut instead. It has a really good flavour and actually tastes like coconut too. Honestly stay away from the peanut bar, it is so incredibly tasteless. Just buy this instead!
Wow. What can I say about this sweet treat. If you like bounty it is a really good substitute. I love the taste of this and if given the choice would pick these over a bounty . Give it a go 😄
I am so pleased to have discovered these as they will definitely help to get me through on tough days. They are really nice with a great taste of coconut and not much of an aftertaste like some of the other bars out there. Loving these muchly :)
Yum!!! These bars are not only Great tasting but are very satisfying as well!
Not too keen on these, cannot taste the coconut but palatable. Will not buy these again.
My boyfriend is laughing at me again because of what he terms my ‘party food diet’ on Exante. As I chomped down on the kind of breakfast that I would have chosen as a five year old child given complete free will. This choice being the Exante Chocolate Coconut bar which tastes like the love child of a Bounty Bar and a Finger of Fudge and doesn’t disappoint in flavour, texture, smell, fillingness (that is a real word I think) along with what I call the naughtiness quotient which transports my inner child back to the day after Halloween when I’d be allowed to choose one yummy prize from the Trick or Treat spoils to take with me to school. It never made it all the way to school of course and my Exante bar didn’t last long enough to allow my boyfriend to have a tiny taste either. ‘You wouldn’t have liked that anyway,’ I lied, with an unconvincing smile, as I licked the melty, chocolates, coconutty fudge goodness from my naughty face.

- Seliger Rocket
Seliger Rocket is the designation for the
sounding rockets of the Berthold Seliger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH. They were
# A single-stage rocket with a length of 3.4 metres and a takeoff thrust of 50 kN. This rocket was first launched on November 19th, 1962 near Cuxhaven and reached a height of 40 km.
# A two-stage rocket with a length of 6 metres and a takeoff thrust of 50 kN. This rocket was first launched on February 7th, 1963 and reached a height of 80 km.
# A three-stage rocket with a length of 12.8 metres, a diameter of 0.56 metres and a takeoff thrust of 50 kN. This rocket was first launched on May 2nd, 1963 with reduced fuel and reached an altitude of 110 km. Later with maximum fuel it reached a height of 150 km.
All Seliger Rockets return to the ground by
parachute. The single-stage version was completely reusable. Additional single and two-stage rockets were developed in 1963, which could be also used for military purposes. There were flight demonstrations of these rockets to military representatives of non-NATO countries on December 5th, 1963.

You might to have a tire shop check the wheel for roundness, not balance. A tire can be balanced and be out of round, causing the shaking you describe. On front wheel drive cars, the wheel/hub assembly may be bad, which a good tire shop can tell you if it is. Can't say if it will be expensive, the hub is relatively inexpensive. Labor will probably be the deal-breaker.

is it a vtec if so check oil level as if gets low causes problems with the variable valve timing due to low oil pressure which causes poor performance and brings on mil light.

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

Compared are the Hong Kong DVD vby on Widesight Ent. (Cat. II) and the Uncut Version (German Free TV) (= Original HK Theatrical Version)
- differences, among them 11 with alternate/exclusive footage in the HK Version
- Lengt difference: 72.8 sec (= 1:13 min)
Please note: There are small jump cuts in the German Free TV Version with a length of less than 0.5 seconds each. In order to keep it simple, those are not going to be mentioned in the following comparison.
As already explained in the comparison with the UK DVD, the HK actioner Guns of Dragon, released in 1993 and directed by Tony Leung, it is almost impossible to get your hands on the Uncut Version. Curiously enough, the Uncut Version aired on German Free TV in the 90s.
So now, here is the comparison to the version with relatively easy access: the DVD from Hong Kong. The DVD is in widescreen but picture information on top and bottom is missing due to the black bars. Moreover, there are hardcoded English subtitles - probably because it was mastered from laser disc. In its country of origin, the rape scene is even heavier censored than in UK resp. it is missing completely. Other than that, almost any gore scene remains untouched. A few cuts here and there were made though.
Curiously enough, there is also some alternate/exclusiv footage: An actual harmless scene with some drug abuse was reshot without any kind of drug abuse. Later on, there are a few more alternate takes for which a plausible explanation does not exist. Maybe there are some critical comments about Triads or something in the original audio track. The German audio track however does no support any kind of conclusion. Also, there are a few "regular" additional shots. Last but not least, some shots are a few insignificant frames longer in the HK Version.
All in all, the version on the HK DVD can be considered as alternate version but due to its censoring, it is not as interesting as the German Free TV Version.
Time index refers to
HK DVD in NTSC / German Free TV Version in PAL
Logos / Credits
Different logos at te beginning. The subsequent opening credits are different as well: while the HK DVD contains the original credits, the credits in the German Free TV Version are in English.
HK DVD 10.6 sec longer
20:34 / 19:28-20:38
Much earlier at the bar: Tai Fei is busy with a girl on the counter. At first, she is willing. The scene goes on, his gun is lying on the ground. Rather excited, Tai Fei then tells her to stop laughing. But since he can't get it up, the girls responds kind of mean. She says she thougt he was a real man. Now, he gets upset and tells her to show what she has got because he does not like being made fun of. He pushes her head down and tells her to turn him on. Then he courses because he still can't get it up. He pushes her away, she laughs at him again and calls him a loser. Tai Fei slaps her, reaches for his gun, penetrates her from behind and asks how she liked it and if she was still laughing. The woman screams. In the background, Prince Wong Ti comes in. With the close-up of him yelling "Stop!", the versions are back in sync.
70.4 sec (= 1:10 min)
23:46-24:34 / 23:42-24:38
The entire scene was shot twice: only in the German Free TV Version, people are doing blow several times - noticably by the movement to nose/mouth and an additional close-up.
German Free TV Version 9.3 sec longer
34:09-34:13 / 33:50 bzw 33:52-33:55
Jump cut in the German Free TV Version: extended shot of the overturning car resp. it ends up in driving position again.
A short additional shot of Tai Fei behind the wheel follows. Also in the German Free TV 2 seconds later after the shot of Ching.
+ 1.5 sec
39:09 / 38:35
Actually, the flashback also contains a close-up of the bloody hit in the leg.
41:46-44:06 / 41:05-43:05
When the General speaks to the people and toasts to them, there are lots of alternate takes until the headshot.
Does not make sense though because there is significant difference contentwise.
HK DVD 14.4 sec longer
55:07-55:08 / 53:38
After the car explosion, only the HK DVD contains a small shot of Ching up in the air.
+ 1 sec
73:27-73:32 / 71:12-71:18
Why? When the camera pans from Ching's opponent to Ching himself, there is another alternate take. The HK Version shows Ching longer while the German Free TV shows the other guy longer.
German Free TV Version 0.2 sec longer
73:47 / 71:31-71:32
When the guy hits the fan, the first two close-ups are missing on the HK DVD.
74:04 / 71:49-71:50
Extended shot of the guy going through the glass door.
75:37 / 73:19-73:30
Extended shot of the woman getting kicked out to which she responds with a few swear words in Spanish. She also shows her breasts which is probably why that scene was cut in the first place.
75:49 / 73:41-73:45
Before Ching appears from behind the shower curtain, there is another shot of her naked in the bathroom.
79:09-79:21 / 76:57-77:10
Another pointless and on the HK DVD slightly longer alternate take when the General talks to Ching and takes off his sun glasses.
As compensation, the following shot of Ching begins earlier in the German Free TV Version.
German Free TV Version 1.4 sec longer
79:40-79:45 / 77:28-77:35
Alternate take of the bag with Ching's girlfriend in it getting dropped.
German Free TV Version 2.3 sec longer
79:59-80:10 / 77:48-77:59
Alternate take of Ching with the grenade in his hand (German Free TV Version longer), followed by another shot of the General (HK DVD longer, he always speaks highly of Ching's guts instead of simply calling him a bastard).
HK DVD 0.7 sec longer
81:42 / 79:27-79:32
For some reason, the shot of a few approaching baddies has been removed.
84:06 / 81:50-81:53
More details when Tai Fei's body get perforated via close-up.
88:35-88:42 / 86:09
Another extended scene on the HK DVD: the slow motion happy family reunion is longer.
+ 7.2 sec
88:48-88:54 / 86:15
+ 5.6 sec
89:03-89:09 / 86:23
On the HK DVD, they clasp in their arms longer plus they let go of each other at the beginning of the following shot.
+ 5.8 sec

Bus drivers threaten industrial action
BUS drivers are threatening industrial action and calling for CT Plus' contract to be scrapped following an escalation in the dispute over their terms and conditions.
Just two weeks before the UK firm is due to take over the service, the Unite union yesterday issued a strongly worded statement calling for the contract to be rescinded and warning that all drivers were being balloted over action. The result of the ballot will be revealed on Friday.
And the union revealed that its members initially only agreed to sign their CT Plus contracts after stamping the documents 'under duress'. They claim they were then 'pressured' into signing new contracts without the stamp.
CT Plus said it would not comment as it was abiding by an agreement with the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service not to discuss the dispute.
Sorry, we are not accepting comments on this article.

Make gourmet style pizza at home with this easy recipe.
Rising and resting time:19hrs
Parchment paper (recommended)
Pizza stone or baking steel (recommended)
Pizza Peel (recommended)
No-Knead Pizza Dough:
3 3/4cupsall-purpose flour(500g)
1/4tspactive dry yeast(1g)
2tspfine sea salt(16g)
1 1/2cupsroom temperature water(350g)
No-Cook Pizza Sauce:
28 ozcanned whole tomatoes
1Tbspextra-virgin olive oil
1tspdried oregano leaves
Fresh baby arugula
Prepare the Dough (Approximately 18-24 hours ahead):
In a large bowl (dough will rise considerably!), combine all the dough ingredients and stir well, until smooth. It will be stiff, but be sure all the flour is incorporated. Cover the bowl and let stand at room temperature approximately 18-24 hours. Doing this the night before is best.
Divide and rest the dough (Approximately 1 hour before you want to assemble your pizzas):
Using a silicone bowl scraper, scrape the dough onto a well floured surface. It will seem very loose. That's normal. Dust the top of the dough with some flour, then use the bowl scraper or a bench scraper to roll the dough around a bit in the flour on the work surface, to coat thinly. Divide the dough into two equal pieces (or four, for mini pizzas). Shape each piece into a ball, then cover with a clean towel and let rest for 1 hour.
Prepare your oven: Place your pizza stone into the cold oven on a rack in the lower third of the oven. I like to remove any top rack at this point, too, just to not have that obstacle when transferring the pizza into and out of the oven. Preheat oven to the highest setting, typically 500F. Let the oven preheat while your dough rests.
Prepare your sauce: If you are making your own pizza sauce, prepare that when the dough is resting as well. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the juice from the canned tomatoes, then gently squeeze the tomatoes to let some of the juice inside the tomatoes drain off as well. Place the tomatoes into a food processor, with the garlic, olive oil, spices and a generous pinch of salt. Pulse a few times, to break it up, but not so much that it is completely smooth. A few small pieces of tomato visible is about right. Set aside.
Shape the pizza:
Dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour or cornmeal. Take a ball of dough and gently stretch it out a bit. Place it on your prepared parchment and gently, using just your fingertips so you don't deflate the dough too much, press and stretch outward to shape the pizza and make it bigger. If it seems to not be enlarging much, lift it up by the outside edge and let it hang in the air. The weight of the dough will stretch it out. Rotate around the edge and let it stretch in the same way. Return the dough to the parchment and finish stretching and shaping. If you like a thin crust pizza, your dough will need to be quite thin. Leave the outside edges thicker, for the lovely bubbly edge crust.
Add the toppings:
Spread the pizza sauce on the dough. Place 2-3 slices of prosciutto onto the pizza. I like to twist it a bit so it doesn't lay flat on the sauce. This helps to get some lovely, crisp prosciutto as it bakes. Scatter some goat cheese on top, then some shredded mozzarella (not too much, just enough to fill in here and there).
Bake your pizza:
Trim the parchment paper close to your pizza, so there is little excess that might scorch in the hot oven. Using a pizza peel, transfer your pizza on top of the parchment paper and onto the hot pizza stone. Allow to bake 7-8 minutes. If you like, you can very carefully pull the parchment paper out from under the pizza at this point. Allow the pizza to continue baking until the crust underneath has some good colour, the topping are bubbly and the top edges of the crust are quite dark in spots. Remove pizza to a cutting board and allow to rest a couple of minutes. Top with fresh arugula to serve.
Be sure to read the Timeline and Tips section above the recipe card, for more tips to make great pizza at home!

It’s a Twilight world, we’re just living in it. Hotties Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart head up the MTV Movie Awards nominations with their Vampire film, Twilight, with seven nominations, including Robert for Breakthrough Male Performance and Kristen for Best Female Performance.
Slumdog Millionaire follows closely behind with six nominations and Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie, Zac Efron, and Vanessa Hudgens are also up for awards. Check out the complete list of nominees and vote here! [Photo: Splash News Online]
Robert Pattinson and Nikki Reed, both of whom star in the tween sensation Twilight, might be officially off the market. Sorry tweens! It’s been rumored for months that the two have been flirty, but Lainey Gossip is reporting that the broodish actor took the actress and screenwriter (she co-wrote Thirteen) back to his Vancouver hotel room last Monday — and allegedly Reed didn’t leave until the morning. As Scandalist reported earlier, Pattinson likes his ladies crazy. Good thing all writers are mad, right? [Photos: FilmMagic, Getty Images]
Right about now on the set of the second Twilight film, New Moon, staffers are finding new and inventive ways to hold their noses — seems there’s a foul odor wafting around the set, and it belongs to Robert Pattinson.
Apparently Pattinson has taken to not showering so much these days. “He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy,” a source on-set told E! Pattinson does seem to shun the typical L.A. scene and doesn’t care about his image (his brooding, thick-eyebrowed, sexy image…), but for the love of all that’s Downy fresh, we think he owes it to his co-workers to show up semi-groomed.
More pics (not scratch-and-sniff, thankfully) of Robert below…
The more we read about him, the more we’re thinking Robert Pattinson isn’t cut out for this international man-hunk movie fame thing. (Or whatever you would call it.) He’s revealed he likes nutty women, once dated his stalker and bored her into submission and now that he walked out of the L.A. premiere of Twilight after freaking out. “I went out and sat in the car, having a full-blown panic attack,” he told GQ magazine.
Maybe he’s thinking too much. Surely the trick to dealing with insane worldwide superstardom is either to develop an enormous ego and believe that you are totally shit-hot, or develop an enormous drug/booze habit to believe the same. Or if you can’t cope with it make lots and lots of weird leftfield art movies to put off the screamy girls. Oh, you are already, with a gay love scene in Little Ashes. That’ll do it. [Photo: FilmMagic]
Paris Hilton has always expressed a liking for all things international – Paris Lastis, Stavros Niarchos, and hash. The sex-hungry heiress now has her sights set on the most popular Brit in Hollywood, Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame.
Paris apparently zoned in on the actor at an Oscar party, and then dragged him outside to a garden for some alone time while her ex Benji Madden and the Olsen twins stood by, gawking. Pattinson escaped the wrath of the wonk eye due to an early flight to Japan, and he exhibited better judgment earlier in the evening, when he was reportedly flirting with Natalie Portman at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. [Photo: GettyImages]
He’s already confessed that he likes “mad” women, but Robert Pattinson seems almost cavalier about his own personal safety when it comes to dating. The Twilight teen idol reveals not only did he date a girl who was stalking him in Spain, but he managed to shrug her off by boring the pants off her.
“She stood outside my apartment every day for weeks – all day every day. I was so bored and lonely that I went out and had dinner with her. I just complained about everything in my life and she never came back. People get bored of me in, like, two minutes,” he says.
It’s one way of dealing with unwanted attention, we guess. But a little time-consuming and you know, risky for your life and things like that. [Photo: WireImage]
He has now got practically all teenage girls in existence hanging off his every quiff-tastic word, so was it really a good idea for Twilight’s Robert Pattinson to advertise the fact he loves nutjob women? The British heartthrob gives an interview in today’s Closer magazine where he outlines his problems with the ladies — namely that he has a weakness for “mental” women. That’s “mental” as in “totally batshit crazy” rather than “mental” as in “intelligent.” Oh dear.
“The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman, and when they are really, really strong. And they’re the worst – mental strong women! I like it when they hate me right from the beginning,” he tells the mag.
What kind of madness could this be, Robert? Obsessive poring over websites? Repeated viewings of vampiric teen movies? Frenzied screaming at public appearances? If any of these count, we don’t think you’ll have any trouble finding your next “mad” woman. [Source: Closer magazine, Photo: FilmMagic]
Twilight, the movie that’s inciting Beatles-level hysteria in teens around the country, opens on Friday. Based on the beloved series of books by the same name, the movie stars Brit heartthrob Robert Pattinson as head garlic-hater Edward Cullen, a vampire who falls for mortal teen Kristen Stewart. But Pattinson’s perfectly tossled hair, cerulean eyes and pointy teeth are just the latest in a lengthy tradition of hot vampires. From Brad Pitt to Salma Hayek to Kate Beckinsale, find out who else we’d let suck our blood.
People love starting rumors about celebs kicking the bucket, and while the trend has picked up steam in recent years, we’re old enough to trace back it to the Great Mayim Bialik Is Dead Rumor of 1997. Just last week the Miley Cyrus rumor was all the rage, and now we’ve moved on to Robert Pattinson, the hair-groping star of Twilight. But of course he’s still alive, eagerly promoting his new movie to the billions of horny tween girls who are going to pad his pockets with cash. Phew!
If pictures of a hot British actor making odd faces and rubbing grease into his hair are your thing, click below. [Photo: GettyImages]
The shrieking. The screaming. The crying. It has to get to a person, and it looks like it’s gotten to Robert Pattinson. The Twilight star looked dazed and confused on the red carpet of the Twilight premiere last night in LA, telling MTV News “I left my brain at the door. It’s completely insane. You never expect it. … I’m completely deaf!” While he held it relatively together during the opening festivities, signing autographs and sucking in his cheeks for photos, snaps of the heartthrob leaving the premiere show him looking more than frazzled. Even vampires have long nights!
After the jump, check out a video of Pattinson doing his best to get through an interview at the premiere. It’s amazing he even heard the question.

as if they couldn't wait to enter
the empty house.
Trimming, pulling, uprooting
I wreaked order on the encroaching wildness of things.
Inside cobwebs sought to restrain me, restrict my entry
but I pushed through
door after door, room after room
reclaiming my old home, its ownership,
from its new arachnid inhabitants
The enclosed suburban garden silently flourishing
since my absence, convolvulus in spindly seven league boots
invades the jasmine
and I - now I am here - tear it out.
Untangling, painstaking, shearing as necessary
to assert my hope of life and love growing here again.
The hedge has gained feet of thickness,
reaching out for its old comfortable chaos
but the shears are in my hands,
the grass collects the leafy twigs in loose piles
till they too are consigned to that plastic brownness on wheels.
But the blackberries, shining there in sunlight, promising fruit for days to come,
for these, I hesitate.
And there are apples on the lawn. I look up.
The tree, baubled like a Christmas fir,
holds out one branch at hand-height,
offers me a single share of its wealth.
In this old, hard-won garden,
unrequested, quite in grace,
the fruits of summer,
hope of warm puddings for colder, harder days.
I gather the blackberries,
consider storing them,
moment of eternity
Tomorrow, I will gather for the winter.
These firstfruits we must celebrate today.
