LeBron, Cavs Roll Celtics Wire to Wire | WaitingForNextYear

Mike Brown is a super-genius after the Cavaliers plastered the Celtics 124-95 in game three of the Eastern Conference semi-finals in Boston.  What else could possibly be the explanation after Brown was under such fire after game two?  Of course, I am joking.  Mike Brown will always look better when the Cavaliers come out playing focused defense from the beginning of a game while also executing on the offensive end.  Mike Brown also looks incredible when LeBron comes out looking like the guy who never had his elbow mentioned before.  In fact, many of Mike Brown’s biggest critics [more...]

Why's Obama Joking About Killing w/Predator Drones?

Of course, the government is currently saying (reported via Reuters) that the drone strikes in the Pakistani tribal areas "have killed more than 500 militants -- the vast majority of them low-level -- but fewer than 30 civilians..." Meanwhile, the ACLU is suing to see government documents that might tell us more about the program. As controversial as their purported effectiveness, and the human cost of its killings, is its supposed legality. DefenseNews recently reported that assassinations by drones may bring legal trouble for the Obama administration: Speaking on March 23 before the House [more...]

Reuniting Europe » Blog Archive » Yes, the Reflection group ...

I don’t think that Felipe Gonzalez, chairman of the ‘Future of Europe’ reflection group, reads my blog, but I had challenged him and the other “wise men” not to neglect the place of Turkey in their report. Now it turns out that there is only one accession country mentioned by name, and the country is Turkey. I’m back from the Council, where Gonzalez gave a copy of the report to Council President Van Rompuy, while thousands of citizens were enjoying the Open doors day of the European institutions. I was able to snatch a French copy. In the Council website the report is not yet [more...]

Of Jellyfish Stings, Mothers, and the Philippine Elections « Moms ...

I was joking of course and my son probably knew that too but as he smiled, he looked confused, trying to decide whether he was happy that I was there to give him the medicine or whether he should be angry about the sting and all. Such is life. Things are hardly black or white. Situations are never perfect. We all love our mothers but I am sure we do not get along with them all the time. But then again, that is the essence of true and lasting love, right? If all parents and children were perfect then love would be easy and it would lose its very power. Love for country is also something that [more...]

Think Nobel Prize winner Al Gore as special envoy to renewed global warming talks.

Real Life Prague: My Roommate Is An International Health Threat ...

by Amanda Sakuma My roommate is currently listed on the Czech Republic’s disease control database. However exhilarating it is to sleep 3.5 feet away from an international health threat, I have my doubts about my safety. Jane’s bout of salmonella (which she assures me is “mostly” not contagious) came after a lovely trip to the second largest city of the Czech Republic, Brno. The weekend excursion, funded by our university, was meant to introduce us to Czech culture outside of Prague. Instead, it made us wonder why there aren’t more vegetarians in the country.

They’re significant productions unto themselves, and they set the stage for a full year’s worth of advertising as they migrate to the “small” TV market after the last whistle of the game has been blown. Since lots of other commentators will analyze and dissect those commercials—and I’m one of those who likes to travel where others [more...]

Fourth Row Center: Film Writings by Jason Bailey: In Theaters ...

When the original Iron Man was released two summers ago, the wave of good reviews and positive word-of-mouth were rooted very much in a sense of surprise—who expected yet another tiresome superhero movie to have this kind of wit and intelligence (in addition to, of course, blowing stuff up real good)? There were hints that it might be something special—Jon Favreau was an unusual choice for director (with a background more in character comedy than slam-bang action), and Robert Downey Jr., while firmly on the comeback trail, wasn’t anyone’s idea of an action hero (or anchor for a [more...]

Iron Man 2: Lots of laughs, lots of clanks » Milton Arts ...

By Peter Howell of the Toronto Star: “Please, it’s not about me!” reformed warlord Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) insists at the start of Iron Man 2. He’s being disingenuous, of course, and not just because he makes this statement while surrounded by jiggling dancers at a bells-and-whistles corporate expo promoting his metal-clad machismo. The first Iron Man found hilarity and energy by making it very plain just how much it was about the priapic Mr. Stark, whom Downey invests with almost satanic allure. For once, we had a superhero who wasn’t nibbling his fingernails to the quick, [more...]

She noted that a Department of Labor advisory opinion from 2005, FLSA 2005-9, specifically addressed the issue of whether a paralegal with a four-year degree, a paralegal certificate, CLE and 22 years’ experience could fall under the professional exemption, and concluded he or she could not. Rather, the exemption is only available for paralegals who possess advanced specialized degrees in other professional fields and apply advanced knowledge in that field in the performance of their duties.

It was written by a paralegal — we’ll call her “Blaze of Glory.” She had some very pointed things to say about one of the associates, who we’ll call “Attila.” A partner at the firm, “My Name is Pitt,” is also referenced in the memo. All the rest of the backstory comes from a tipster: I am told that the ENTIRE firm was blind copied when this email was sent.

Celebrity Eclipse - ultimate luxury - Cruises.co.uk - SHOWTHREAD

Have to say our first trip with Celebrity was memorable in more ways than one. We were more than impressed with the level of luxury, from the cabins to the restaurants to the pools to the lawned deck, etc,. The glass lifts going up 14 floors were amazing ( and I don't like heights!) Champagne in the cabin to greet us was very surprising at no extra cost and regular canapes and fresh fruit (is this normal?) The addition of thick, luxurious bath robes and towels made us feel very special. Now for the other memorable event - sadly my husband went down (literally) with a trapped sciatic nerve on [more...]
