Moreover, now Rajini is said to have constructed a large playground is filled with an amazing assortment of playthings and toys for Yatra's exclusive amusement in his Kelambakkam farmhouse.

Kanthasamy Release on July 17th

The long wait seems to be finally coming to an end. Kanthasamy, the most-awaited film of the year, which has been in the making for almost two years, will finally release on July 17th, provided there are no last minute issues. The audio was launched recently with much fanfare.

Vikram said that he enjoyed working in Kanthasamy, and has never seen a unit as passionate as this. He also thanked director Susi Ganesan for giving him room to improvise and also for incorporating his ideas and suggestions.

Kanthasamy, starring Vikram and Shreya in the lead roles, has loads of action with a racy narration.It also marks producer Kalaipuli S. Dhanu's 25th year in films

Sasikumar’s Nadodigal vs Akhil’s Valmiki

For the first time two eagerly awaited class movies are clashing at the Tamil Nadu Box- office, this weekend.

It is billed as the clash of the class cinema- Nadodigal v/s Valmiki. The former is the first release of director turned actor Sasikumar after last year’s trend setter Subramaniapuram purely as an actor. The latter is coming from Vikatan Talkies, a reputed production house whose last release Siva Manasulla Sakthi is the sleeper hit of 2009.

Nadodigal is directed by Samuthirakani, who has made a name for himself as a good television script writer and director, while debutant Anantha Narayanan is Valmiki director. It is Sasikumar’s and Akhil’s big ticket to become saleable solo heroes.

Abhinya, a differently- abled actress who cannot speak or hear is making her debut in Nadodigal as one of the heroines, while the other heroine is Ananya. The sensational Malayalam heroine Meera Nandan, is debuting in Tamil with Valmiki.

Both the films are targeting the upper class audiences of C3 territory- Chennai and Chengalpet multiplexes and Coimbatore.

The best of the screens in these areas have been snapped up by these two films. And both the films carry clean ‘U’ certificate!

Lydia Hearst in town?

Lydia Hearst (above) -- as in, the daughter of Patty and great-grandaughter of William Randolph -- may be in Boston tomorrow night. The Kendall Square Cinema is hosting a big premiere of the young model's new movie, "The Last International Playboy," and so far, Hearst is on the guestlist.

Hearst and a few other "Playboy" cast members -- including Boston-born "Project Runway" model Polina Frantsena -- are also expected to show up at an after-party for the screening at the Estate. Supermodel Paulina Porizkova, as in wife of Ric Ocasec, has also RSVP'd a yes to the late-night shindig. Very Hollywood, yes?

Chess in Concert

Originally recorded as a concept album in 1984 by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus (the latter two from pop sensation group ABBA) and later performed worldwide with several reincarnations, Chess is a musical involving two chess players and a manager who becomes one's love interest. Early on, the musical could be seen performed at both prestigious West End and Broadway locales and was eventually also rendered in Los Angeles, Melbourne, and Stockholm. Chess spawned the international hit "One Night in Bangkok" and also features ballads "Pity the Child," "Heaven Help My Heart," "Embassy Lament," and "I Know Him So Well."

This new revival, 25 years after the original, features a young talented cast comprised of Idina Menzel (from 2005's Rent, Wicked), Josh Groban, Adam Pascal (2005's Rent), Kerry Ellis (Wicked), and Marti Pellow (from Scottish pop band Wet Wet Wet). Tonight the filmed production will make it's debut on PBS.

Majide

NBC’s not must see TV
8 p.m. I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
The show originally aired back in the early 2000’s which sucked. And it took five years for them to remake it – and it sucks. Paraphrasing analysis from David Gonos.

ABC double-dose … Idiots-aplenty
8 p.m. – Wipeout
9 p.m. – I Survived a Japanese Game Show
The latter is premiering for the first time. I’ll be honest, for about five episodes everyone here was in love with it, then it faded quietly. I’m willing to jump back in, because frankly there is absolutely nothing else on television besides “True Blood” and baseball.

Fox … nope (Unless the first name is Megan. Hence the picture to the right that has absolutely nothing to do with anything – but somehow is my everything).
8-10 p.m. So You Think You Can Dance
BORING.

BBC, theatre for television 9 p.m.
9 p.m. -- Gordon Ramsey’s F Word
It’s the fourth season the show has been on television, but the first time I’ve heard of it. At any rate, former Spice Girl (current??) Geri Halliwell challenges Ramsay to meatball-off. This show has to fall somewhere between Meh and ROFLcopter.

Discovery, it’s like health class but clothed …
8 p.m. – Time Warp visits Las Vegas
9 p.m. – Mythbusters explores popcorn myths and convertibles and rain incidents.

Comedy Central, a station that correctly identifies itself
9:30 p.m. – South Park’s “Die Hippie, Die” episode.

Discovery Health
8 p.m. – Obese and Pregnant
It follows around three expectant mothers that are morbidly obese. Words cannot explain the confusion I have towards this.

History Channel
9 p.m. – Monsterquest seeks out killer crocodiles.

Suzanne TRACHT

Suzanne TRACHT of Jar has opened a second restaurant, and it's not exactly just down the street. Called Tracht's, it's in the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, in a town that seems to be largely off the radar for L.A. chefs until now. Part of the hotel's $11-million renovation, Tracht's has a great spot at the corner of Pine Avenue and Ocean Boulevard.

The dining room is très chic, with lots of dark wood, white tablecloths and giant ruched orange fabric lampshades hovering overhead. In the bar, which serves food until midnight most nights and until 1 a.m. on weekends, water slithers down a glass wall, and more than a thousand bottles of wine reside in a glassed-in wine cabinet.

The most inviting aspect of Tracht's, other than the elegant chophouse fare, is the outdoor patio, which wraps around one corner of the building and looks out on Ocean Boulevard toward the Pacific. Though buildings block much of the water view, tables under handsome cantilevered umbrellas still can revel in that authentically salty breeze. Glass windscreens and a radiant heated floor keep you comfy enough to concentrate on the food. There's also a jolly fire pit with seating for those who want to cozy up with a martini or a glass of wine.

Tracht's menu hews very closely to Jar's, presenting a neat lineup of the Los Angeles restaurant's best dishes. The crab deviled eggs make a delightful little appetizer to share, hard-boiled eggs with a spicy stuffing topped with a little fresh crabmeat. There are Hama Hama oysters on the half shell served with a black pepper ponzu and a terrific take on Caesar salad made with crisp, slightly bitter red endive instead of the usual romaine leaves. I'm a big fan of Tracht's deconstructed lobster cocktail with chunks of beautifully cooked lobster and shredded green mango drenched in lime. If you want to go lighter, order the pretty butter lettuce salad with breakfast radishes and a shower of fresh herbs.

Over our first courses, we watch the people parade by on Ocean Boulevard. It's nothing like the crowd streaming by farther north on Santa Monica's Ocean Avenue, and that's the beauty: Long Beach has its own relaxed vibe.

With Tracht's in residence, you can enjoy the scene while digging into a remarkably flavorful veal porterhouse or savoring Jar's signature pot roast with carrots and caramelized onions. Char siu pork chop is a thick one, heavily brined and basted with a sweet marinade that chars up beautifully. It may not be to everyone's taste, but if you favor teriyaki and love sweet Chinese dishes, this is your baby.

Steak lovers get their choice of Kansas City strip, skirt steak, rib-eye or filet. But there are also some braised options, such as a fine coq au vin or braised lamb shank perfumed with coriander and star anise. Most of the main courses come with an onion roasted in its skin until it's soft and velvety and stuffed with a pesto.

Tracht has always turned out appealing side dishes. Onion rings here are so crisp and delicious that when you finish one order, you want to ask for another. Sautéed pea shoots with garlic and hot pepper are wonderful. And as for duck fried rice, it's sheer genius to put this on a chophouse menu, because it's such a fine accompaniment to most of the meats and even fish.

For dessert, the banana cream pie has the same luscious filling of softly whipped cream and bananas as it does at Jar — and the same hard, cookie-like crust.

Obviously, Tracht can't be in two places at once, so when she's in L.A. at her primary restaurant, chef de cuisine Jessica Alexander, former sous-chef at Studio in Laguna Beach's Montage resort, is in charge.

Based on a single visit a few days after the restaurant opened on the propitious date of 7/7/07, Alexander seems to have the same meticulous attention to detail as Tracht does.

An expedition to the pristine forests of Ecuador near the Peruvian border uncovered 12 new species, including a salamander that Conservation International.

The discoveries in the Nangaritza region of the Cordillera del Condor included what the researchers termed a “remarkably ugly bug-eyed salamander,” a red poison arrow frog and a frog smaller than a “pinky” fingernail. A lizard, a third frog and seven grasshoppers also were among the newly found creatures.

One of the species for the frog is a Glass Frog, so-called for its translucent skin that shows internal organs. The frog is also called Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum.

ensign, john ensign affair, darlene ensign, ensign affair, john ensign biography

Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, a leading conservative mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, admitted Tuesday he had an extramarital affair with a woman who was a member of his campaign staff. "Last year I had an affair. I violated the vows of my marriage," Ensign said at a brief news conference. "It is the worst thing I have ever done in my life. If there was ever anything in my life that I could take back, this would be it."

Ensign spokesman Tory Mazzola said the affair took place between December 2007 and August 2008 with a campaign staffer who was married to an employee in Ensign's Senate office. Neither has worked for the senator since May 2008.

Ensign, 51, said he would not mention the name of the campaign aide involved in the affair. He described the woman and her husband as good friends.

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

"Our families were close," a weary-looking Ensign said. "That closeness put me into situations which led to my inappropriate behavior. We caused deep pain to both families and for that I am sorry."

Ensign made it clear he did not plan to resign. Ensign did not participate earlier Tuesday in a Senate vote concerning the ailing travel industry, an unusual absence considering the topic's relevance in his home state.

It was unclear why Ensign decided to disclose the affair Tuesday. He took no questions from reporters at the news conference.

Ensign's wife, Darlene, also released a statement about the affair.

"Since we found out last year we have worked through the situation and we have come to a reconciliation. This has been difficult on both families. With the help of our family and close friends our marriage has become stronger," Mrs. Ensign said.

The Ensigns have three children.

Ensign was first elected to the Senate in 2000 and quickly rose through the GOP ranks. He chaired the GOP's Senate campaign operation in 2007 and 2008, and last year was named chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the No. 4 position in the party's Senate leadership. The committee coordinates the GOP's legislative efforts in the Senate.

Last month, Ensign traveled to Iowa for a speech organized by a conservative advocacy group, sparking speculation that he had an interest in possibly running for president. Aides said the visit was about staking out a leadership position within the GOP.

Ensign has been a rising star among conservatives, speaking out against President Barack Obama's stimulus package, statehood for the District of Columbia and union-organizing legislation and in favor of gun owners' rights. Ensign has been a member of the men's ministry the Promise Keepers, a Christian ministry.

He had been highly critical of former Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, who served in Congress for a quarter-century when he was arrested in an airport bathroom sex sting. Ensign stopped short of urging him to resign but suggested strongly that he should.

"I wouldn't put myself hopefully in that kind of position, but if I was in a position like that, that's what I would do," Ensign said. "He's going to have to answer that for himself." In the end, Craig served out his term.

Ensign is the latest member of Congress who has acknowledged infidelity. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., is rebounding from being linked with a prostitute.

Over the years, Ensign and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., have worked closely on issues affecting Nevada and have an agreement not to criticize the other publicly.

"Sen. Reid's thoughts are with Sen. Ensign and his family at this time," Reid spokesman Jon Summers.

"Sen. Reid's thoughts are with Sen. Ensign and his family at this time." Reid spokesman Jon Summers.

Republicans lost eight seats last November under Ensign's campaign leadership, with one race, in Minnesota, still undecided. The losses put Democrats within one seat of having a 60-40 majority, enough to prevent the GOP from blocking bills and appointments if all of them vote together.

Ensign is a veterinarian and adopted son of a Nevada casino mogul. He clearly was the most influential Republican in his state as the governor, Jim Gibbons, struggled with a horrendous economy and accusations of infidelity as well.

jada pinkett smith, hawthorne tnt, hawthorne jada pinkett smith, hawthorne imdb, hawthorne show

Tonight Jada Pinkett Smith returns to the small screen for the first time in years. She stars in the new TNT drama, HawthoRNe. Like another new show, Showtime's Nurse Jackie, HawthoRNe follows the personal and professional tribulations of a nurse.

Christina Hawthorne (Smith) may be small, but when it comes to fighting for her patients and their families, she's a force to be reckoned with. By the looks of preview clips and the scene I've included below, this is one TV nurse who is bound to make a lasting impression.

In addition to fighting for her patients at work, Hawthorne fights to remain sane at home. The show takes place one year after her husband's death and we watch the tough nurse struggle to manage her own grief while also trying to be there for her rebellious daughter, Camille. The show also stars Michael Vartan as chief of surgery and Suleka Mathew, among others. Her personal life aside, Hawthorne seems like the kind of flawed but dedicated nurse people might look up to.

After the jump I have a preview clip from tonight's premiere, so read more.

Justin Denney is the student who was denied his high school diploma by the teachers after he carried out show boating on the stage.

The student Justin Denney goes to school at Bonny Eagle High School during the ceremony came on stage to receive his high school diploma when his name was called out by the teachers but when he reached on the stage, he took a long bow and blew a kiss into the audience.

For indulging in blatant show boating, Justin Denney was told to go back into the audience and take his seat without his diploma being handed to him.

The Bonny Eagle High School senior’s mother Mary Denny is obviously quite upset and cannot still come to terms that her son’s taking a bow and blowing a kiss on stage led was grounds for the superintendent to withhold his diploma.

B52s_l EW has learned exclusively that Atlanta-based country duo Sugarland will be performing "Love Shack" with fellow Georgians The B-52s on tonight's CMT Music Awards. This news comes on the heels of this morning's announcement that Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush will release their first concert DVD, Live on the Inside, on August 4th in a Wal-Mart store near you. The hi-def show will be accompanied by a separate CD featuring live cuts of the duo's infamous covers, including Beyonce's "Irreplaceable," Pearl Jam's "Better Man," Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire," and -- synergy! -- "Love Shack."

I'll be live-blogging the broadcast tonight and will have more thoughts then, but for now I'm of two minds about this choice. As much as I always prefer to hear original songs, Bush and Nettles do covers better than anyone in the biz -- and they've been closing out shows with "Love Shack" all year, so why not? Plus, as a child of the '80s, I can never get enough of Fred Schneider. (Rock lobster!)

Unnai Pol Oruvan Movie Trailer

Here’s the just-out teaser trailer of Unnai Pol Oruvan, the remake of A Wednesday! Check out the official Web-site too.

All the details provided by Kamal earlier are confirmed in the teaser. Additionally, the rumours of his elder daughter, Shruti Haasan doing the music are proven to be true. The title clears the confusion created by the media linking this remake with Thalaivan Irukkindraan (which didn’t suit one bit).

Kamal does look simple in the trailer. The challenge will be to carry it on throughout the movie. The music seems suitable and I guess it’s Shruti’s high pitch vocals that are featured.

The title is very apt and reminiscent of Ennai Pol Oruvan, featuring Kamal’s favourite Sivaji Ganesan.

"Back From The Dead", the first new album in almost two decades from England's "loudest heavy metal band" SPINAL TAP, is available for streaming in its entirety at Spinner.com.

Due on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, the follow-up to 1992's "Break Like The Wind" sees TAP members David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls unearth their long-self-suppressed studio versions of the classic songs from the movie "This is Spinal Tap", as well as six new additional tracks and an exclusive hour-long accompanying DVD featuring a track-by-track video commentary by the band. "Back From The Dead" also features guest appearances by Phil Collen (DEF LEPPARD), Keith Emerson, John Mayer and Steve Vai.

"This album title says it all. We're back from the dead. But we weren't dead. But we definitely are back," proclaimed Hubbins.

"Back From The Dead" is a deluxe CD/DVD package aggressively priced and containing 19 original SPINAL TAP songs, a one-hour DVD and unique pop-up diorama package that unveils three 12-inch action figures (courtesy of Sideshow Collectibles) of the band along with a proportionally sized Stonehenge.

"Back From The Dead" is destined to be a collector's item, especially among collectors. The LP includes the newly interpreted TAP classics "Hell Hole", "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight", "Heavy Duty", "Rock 'n' Roll Creation", "America", "Cups and Cakes", "Big Bottom", "Sex Farm", "Stonehenge", "Gimme Some Money" and "(Listen to the) Flower People".

"While the movie and soundtrack accurately represented our stage sound at the time, the studio versions of these songs on this album represent the cosmic maturation of the material, within a digital context. Also, they're louder," stated Smalls.

The new songs recorded specifically for "Back From The Dead" include "Warmer Than Hell", "Short and Sweet", "Celtic Blues", "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare", "Back From The Dead" and "the first known studio recording of the soon-to-be-long-forgotten 'Jazz Oddyssey'."

"Back From The Dead" was produced by CJ Vanston, who arranged and played keyboards on the band's "Break Like The Wind" album and was musical director for their 1992, 2000 and 2007 tours. As a film composer, he has produced music for Christopher Guest's movies "Waiting For Guffman", "Best In Show", "A Mighty Wind" and "For Your Consideration".

The "Back From The Dead" deluxe CD/DVD package is being distributed completely outside of the traditional major label infrastructure. Retail distribution and marketing of physical CDs will be handled by Artist2Market (A2M) while digital marketing and distribution will be serviced by INgrooves.

"Back From The Dead" track listing:

01. Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight
02. Back From The Dead
03. (Funky) Sex Farm
04. Rock 'n' Roll Creation
05. Jazz Oddyssey I

In addition to the above 19 songs, fans of SPINAL TAP can find a free download for the previously unreleased "Saucy Jack" from Hubbins' unfinished musical about Jack the Ripper on the band's web site, www.spinaltap.com. There are also rumors that there will be exclusive versions of "Sex Farm" and "(Listen to the) Flower People" available on certain digital outlets. And if that is not enough, the band will be releasing a very special 11-inch, limited-edition vinyl version of "Back From The Dead".

letterman joke, letterman palin joke, letterman and palin, letterman apology, fire letterman

The latest development in this inappropriate joke mishegas is that Letterman came up with an even longer and more obsequious apology, and a fat lot of good it did him. Dan Collins declares himself done with the subject (whew), but others still want him expunged from CBS. "It's still not clear that he understands what he's apologizing for," says Allahpundit; apparently Letterman needs re-education. "Sooner or later," says Puma PAC with stars in its eyes, "it WILL become as unacceptable to make jokes about slutty flight attendants and sexual assault as it is to make 'jokes' about watermelon and gorillas." You can bet that's not the entirety of their list of proscribed subjects, either. Little Miss Attila traces Letterman's war against women to his earlier, funnier show and an attack upon the dignity of Joan Collins. The Fire David Letterman rally is still on for tomorrow afternoon.

virgin birth in humans, human parthenogenesis, eclampsia, virgin birth, parthenogenesis in humans

Eclampsia is a very real condition effecting pregnant women. Though Eclampsia usually follows extremely high activity, and wouldn’t generally be found in a overweight teen, unless she had suddenly taken up a strenuous exercise program. Eclampsia also generally sets in 6 months in to a pregnancy, not 3 weeks after.

Human Parthenogenesis, or Virgin birth, doesn’t occur in mammals. You may remember this was the premise for Jurasic Park. With Dinosaur which had frog DNA in them switched genders. While you could argue Mary gave birth as a Virgin… That was a with some help. As I’ll explain in a minute.

House’s Trick would only work if the patient was having a girl. And would be a very dangerous lie to tell because a diagnose of genetic risks would be so in accurate after such a lie. In human parthenogenesis the daughter would be a clone of her mother. If Jesus had been a girl, it would have been possible that his birth was the result of human parthenogenesis but as Mary had no Y chromosome that rules that out as a possibility.

trooper stops ambulance, puppy flushed down toilet, chicken breeds, dyno rod, trooper vs paramedic, chicken coops

Trooper Stops Ambulance - This is a story that took place on May 24. What happened is that Trooper Daniel Martin got upset because the ambulance didn’t get out of his way in time to respond to a call for backup. Martin also saw that the driver made him an obscene gesture, this was enough for him, so he stopped the ambulance.

According to his lawyer Martin didn’t know there was a patient on the ambulance!

An altercation took place between the cops and paramedics. The patient was in the end finally treated and she suffered no harm, but the family questions the incident. According to the Associated Press:

The situation escalates, with White repeatedly telling Martin he has a patient that he wants to take to the hospital, and Martin telling him to get back in the ambulance. They soon begin scuffling on the side of the road as Martin attempts to arrest White, at one point grabbing him by the throat, video shows.

The attorney of White, the paramedic, said:

“If the guy was bruised, it didn’t make any difference, he ought not to stop ambulance drivers for hurting his feelings.”

Damn right.

Those were the news about the Trooper Stops ambulance.

Currently under construction in Dubai, Hydropolis will be the world's first luxury underwater hotel. It will include three elements: the land station, where guests will be welcomed, the connecting tunnel, which will transport people by train to the main area of the hotel, and the 220 suites within the submarine leisure complex. It is one of the largest contemporary construction projects in the world, covering an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London's Hyde Park.

"Hydropolis is not a project; it's a passion," enthuses Joachim Hauser, the developer and designer of the hotel. His futuristic vision is about to take shape 20m below the surface of the Persian Gulf, just off the Jumeirah Beach coastline in Dubai.

The £300m, 220-suite hotel was due to open by the end of 2006 but has experienced delays and is now scheduled to open in 2009. It will incorporate a host of innovations that will take it far beyond the original blueprint for an underwater complex worthy of Jules Verne.

There are only a few locations in the world where such a grandiose dream could be realised. A high proportion of today's architectural marvels are materialising like fanciful mirages from the desert sands. We have come to expect extravagant enterprises to be mounted in the Middle East, and especially in Dubai. "This venture could only be born here in Dubai," says Hauser. "It [has] a very open-minded, international community - and that's what makes it so special."

The land on which Hydropolis is being built belongs to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. It was his last free beach property on this stretch of coast. The project is a fantastic one, yet Sheikh Mohammed's success record with comparable schemes instils confidence that science fiction can become fact. With his support, several companies have been formed to kick-start this phenomenal project, and around 150 firms are currently involved.

"There have been many visions of colonising the sea – Jules Verne, Jean Gusto and several Japanese architects – but no one has ever managed to realise this dream," says Hauser. "That was the most challenging factor, and that's what makes it so fascinating. Despite being a dream of mankind for centuries, nobody has ever been able to make living underwater possible."

UNDERWATER HOTEL DESIGN

The original idea for Hydropolis developed out of Hauser's passion for water and the sea, and goes much deeper than just building a hotel underwater. More than just curiosity, it is a commitment to a more far-reaching philosophy. "Once you start digging deeper and deeper into the subject, you can't help being fascinated and you start caring about all the associated issues," he explains. "Humans consist of 80% water, the earth consists of 80% water; without water there is no life."

Hydropolis reproduces the human organism in an architectural design. There is a direct analogy between the physiology of man and the architecture. The geometrical element is a figure eight lying on its side and inscribed in a circle. The spaces created in the basin will contain function areas, such as restaurants, bars, meeting rooms and theme suites. These can be compared to the components of the human organism: the motor functions and the nervous and cardiovascular systems, with the central sinus knot representing the pulse of all life.

The ballroom, located at this nerve centre, will have asymmetrical pathways connecting the different storeys along ramps. A large, petal-like retracting roof will enable the staging of open-sky events. Staircases, lifts and ramps will provide access to the ballroom, while flanking catering areas will supply banquets and receptions.

HYDROPOLIS LAND STATION

In order to enter this surreal space, visitors will begin at the land station. This 120m woven, semicircular cylinder will arch over a multi-storey building. On the lowest level passengers board a noiseless train propelled by fully automated cable along a modular, self-supporting steel guideway to Hydropolis. A just-in-time and on-demand logistical system will facilitate efficient supply of goods to the hotel.

The upper storeys of the land station house a variety of facilities, including a cosmetic surgery clinic, a marine biological research laboratory and conference facilities. On the lower levels are the staff rooms, goods storage and loading areas, and hotel and parking areas.

The land station also includes a restaurant and high-tech cinema screening the evolution of life in the ocean and the history of underwater architecture. As a finale, the screen will open to reveal the real-life Hydropolis. A viewing platform at the front opening of the spanning roof will allow views of the architecture as well as the light shows of Hydropolis.

MARINE ARCHITECTURE

This structure promises to be a conceptual as well as a physical landmark. While human beings accept the existence of water, we have only a superficial appreciation of its significance. "We waste it, go swimming in it and generally take it for granted," says Hauser. "Humans could actually live self-sufficiently underwater, generating energy, nurturing food supplies and so on. This is why we are starting a foundation to demonstrate something of the importance of water in our lives.

"My general plan was to create a living space in the sea. My initial proposal was a deep-sea project, which looked very different. I had to adjust to the local reality of the natural surroundings and change to a shallow-water construction.

"We want to create the first ever faculty for marine architecture because I believe that the future lies in the sea, including the future of city planning. I am certain that one day a whole city will be built in the sea. Our aim is to lay the first mosaic by colonising the sea."

Hauser plans to incorporate many different elements associated with the sea. The cosmetics will be ocean-based, the cinemas will screen films that focus on aquatic themes and a children's seaworld will educate as well as entertain.

He views his creation as a place where those who do not dive – or do not even swim – can experience the tranquillity and inspiration of the underwater world. "We are expecting around 3,000 visitors a day in addition to the hotel guests. The aim is to inspire people to develop a new awareness of the sea."

As well as emphasising the positive aspects of water, Hauser also believes we are systematically destroying marine life, and thus wishes to draw attention to various dangers and problems, such as the loss of algae and the destruction of the coral reefs.

FUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT

Dreams, however fabulous, remain unfulfilled without the cash to support the commitment. "The hardest part of the process was finding sponsorship to the tune of €550m," admits Hauser. "That's what brought me to Dubai. Still, it was a battle which took two-and-a-half years and proved tougher than developing the project itself. No bank would pay such an amount. It's a risky investment, as there are no pilots. We had to convince investors that it is safe and will bring returns on investment."

With official blessing, the Dubai Development & Investment Authority (DDIA) established a framework to handle grants and authorisations. Once the financial backing was guaranteed, the sonar analysis of the seabed complete and 7,000 anchors in place, construction began in summer 2005.

"We are sure that this hotel will set a precedent," says Hauser. "Crescent-Hydropolis is now planning a chain of underwater hotels, and nine countries have shown interest. Some will be the realisation of my initial deep-sea design." Hauser has even chosen to make his permanent home in Dubai. "And that won't change after the project [is finished], regardless of where our next project will be. The infrastructure is exceptionally good here - and it seldom rains!"

KEY PLAYERS

Crescent Hydropolis Holdings LLC were the original intellectual property rights developer and are acting as the project developers, with SIBC Industrial Building Consultants as the global project managers.

Consultation has come from Q3A+D Limited as architecture and design consultants and Siemens I&S IS Facility & Systems Engineering as the technical engineering consultants. OSTSEE-KONTOR GmbH are providing the marine and naval surveying services.

Design, architecture and interior scenery is being provided by 3-Deluxe System Modern GmbH. The underwater foundation, tunnel and access way will be the work of DCN Duik Combinatie Nederland BV

artie lange on joe buck, artie lange, joe buck live, joe buck, stern fan network

Yes, I did see thw whole first episode of Joe Buck Live, and I must say, I was not overly impressed. Nothing big came out of the Favre interview, Joe Buck somehow got out of having a hugh argument with Chad ~~Johnson~~ Ochocinco, and I felt that some of his humor fell flat. And keep in mind, I generally enjoy Joe Buck's dry sense of humor. But the highlight of the night was by a mile Artie Lange completely owning Joe Buck, Tony Romo, and Jessica Simpson all in less than 2 minutes of epic hilarity, with the best part being after Joe "The Bachelor Is Better Than Baseball" Buck saying that TMZ is his favorite website, Lange suggests that his 2nd favorite website must therefore be "suckingcock.com". Sorry for the poor quality video, but all you really have to do is listen and laugh. (as you have probably figured out, this video is quite NSFW as you can pretty much say whatever the fuck you want on HBO. And Artie Lange knows that.)

Dowload Artie Lange videos

And while I don't know about elsewhere, but everyone in Philadelphia (or at least in my family) caught on to the whole Tony Homo joke years ago. Nevertheless, that was hilarious.

And one last thing not necessarily related to Lange but to Joe Buck Live in general, if I had a nickel for everytime Buck said how "great" a show it was going to be in the first 8 or so minutes, I think I would be a millionaire. Oh, and the ironic part was how at the end of the show, he went on about how announcers should not use the word "amazing" to describe every play in sports. And Joe, what's not amazing about Kobayashi eating 100 hot dogs?

cholestin, red yeast rice side effects, red yeast rice dosage, red yeast rice capsule, red yeast rice lower cholesterol

A statin can be a lifesaver if you’re at risk of heart disease, but some people who take the cholesterol-lowering drugs—up to 20%, by some estimates—have to stop because of muscle pain, the most common side effect. (Nearly 30 million people filled a statin prescription in 2005, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Statins include popular drugs such as Crestor, Lipitor, and Zocor.) Now a new study suggests that an over-the-counter dietary supplement sold at pharmacies and health-food stores may be a workable alternative for people who have statin-related muscle pain. It seems that when combined with diet and lifestyle changes, red yeast rice supplements can lower LDL, or bad cholesterol, levels by more than 20% without a substantial risk of muscle pain (also known as myalgia), according to a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

“For some people, especially if they’ve had muscle aching, taking red yeast rice and making lifestyle changes can work as well as a statin,” says lead study author David Becker, MD, a cardiologist in private practice at Chestnut Hill Cardiology in Pennsylvania.

Although these and other results are promising (in a previous study led by Dr. Becker, a combination of red yeast rice and fish oil outperformed simvastatin, the generic version of Zocor), people with high cholesterol shouldn’t race to the vitamin store just yet. Red yeast rice is “not a panacea for all people with statin-association myalgias,” Dr. Becker cautions. In some patients, the supplements may cause a recurrence of muscle pain, or other serious muscle problems that are more difficult to detect.

Plus, consumers who buy red yeast rice off the shelf don’t necessarily know what they’re getting. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements, and the contents and potency of red yeast rice pills have been shown to vary widely among manufacturers. Some pills might even be dangerous: A 2008 analysis of red yeast rice products conducted by a supplement-industry watchdog group found a potentially toxic ingredient in 4 of out 10 brands—one was the store brand of a major pharmacy chain.

This is a clip from an upcoming episode of My Life on the D-List. Kathy Griffin goes to see one her idols, Lily Tomlin, and then the two go out to dinner. But the interesting part of the clip is when Griffin talks about having a ten year ban on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and how it was just lifted (I assume this was filmed before Conan took over The Tonight Show). Griffin appears tonight on Letterman's show for the first time in twelve years so that ban was lifted too.

The Halifax Chronicle-Herald's Willy Palov spoke to Pittsburgh Penguins captai Sidney Crosby's father, Troy, about his Game 7 jitters:

June 12, Halifax Chronicle-Herald: "No matter what happens, it's going to be a pretty emotional day," said Troy, who expected to be joined by his wife Trina and daughter Taylor in Detroit on Thursday evening. "It's been a tight series except for that one game in Detroit -- Game 5. But I think the team is pretty confident and they believe in themselves. They don't seem to get too high or too low. They just stick to their game and I think they're pretty confident in what they can do. They just seem really focused on what they have to do."
The Penguins forced a seventh game with a 2-1 win in Pittsburgh on Tuesday and now have a chance to erase the memory of last year's six-game loss to the Red Wings in the final.

It's a series that has captivated the attention of thousands of hockey fans in Nova Scotia, but for the father of the Cole Harbour superstar the outcome tonight clearly carries exponentially more significance. But as much as Troy readily admits he is feeling the stress of the moment, he reports that Sidney is remarkably calm given the circumstances.

"He doesn't really change that much. He knows what he has to do and what the team has to do," Troy said. "You can't get too wound up about it in a situation like that because then you get too nervous about it. I'm sure everyone's going to be a little nervous; they're going to be excited, even in Detroit. You can say all you want about experience but you're human and you're going to have some nerves. Everybody on both sides is going to have some nerves (today), I think."

The elder Crosby readily admits that he wants to see his son lift the Stanley Cup tonight:

"I've been dreaming about it for a long time," he said. "To get this close, it's kind of surreal, really. Hopefully in another 36 hours or so it will be a reality, I hope. We'll see what happens. We'll get all the good luck charms pulled out and hope for the best."

The CBC posted a very different take from Darren Helm's hometown of St. Andrews, Manitoba:

June 12, CBC: People in St. Andrews, north of Winnipeg, are preparing to cheer on local NHL hero Darren Helm and his Detroit Red Wings on Friday night in the Stanley Cup's decisive Game 7.
Hundreds are expected to gather at the local hockey arena to watch on big screens the winner-take-all championship game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"The pride is unreal. I mean there's signs up at Harry's Foods; there's signs up at the community club and the school; there's signs up, so everyone is just going hog wild on this," said Darren Zembik, the ice maker at the local arena. "They're quite ecstatic and excited about Darren Helm in the Stanley Cup finals. I mean, let's face it. It's Game 7. It's every kid's dream."

Helm, 22, has helped the Red Wings reach the Stanley Cup finals each of the past two years. Last season, Detroit won the NHL championship in six games against the Penguins.

This post-season, Helm has scored four goals, including the series winner against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference final. Zembik hopes the party on Friday is only a prequel to another in a month or so. If the Red Wings win, Helm is expected to bring the Stanley Cup back to the community for another visit.

"Obviously, I'm going to have to talk to Darren, but I know for sure he'll want to have a big party and things are in the works right now," he said. "So let's keep our fingers crossed."
