16 celebrities who are obsessed with 'Game of Thrones'

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones."

HBO's most successful series of all time has captured the hearts and minds of millions of people. The sixth season of "Game of Thrones" premiered on April 24, and was watched by over 10 million viewers. Throughout the season, #GameofThrones was trending globally on social media every Sunday.

Among those excited viewers were celebrities from every corner of mainstream media.

From musicians to actors to YouTube stars, scroll down to see the biggest celebrity fans you can follow along with Sunday nights.

Actor Adam Scott didn't only play a character who was obsessed with "Game of Thrones" — he loves the series, too.

In an episode of "Parks and Recreation" Scott's character receives a life-size replica of the Iron Throne as an anniversary present from girlfriend Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). But in a Reddit AMA, Scott assured people that he loves the series just as much as the fictional Ben Wyatt.

Hollywood couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard attended the season six premiere in "Game of Thrones" T-shirts complete with temporary tattoos.

Here's how Bell described the evening on Instagram: "Dax and I went to the premiere of #GOT last night. Everyone was in suits and dresses. People were sipping cocktails. We were in tank tops that said "Stark in the streets, Wildling in the sheets". We sported temporary tattoos that said Ours Is The Fury and Winter Is Coming. At one point I lifted a cantaloupe in the air and said 'this egg shall change history' and ran out the fire exit."

Artist T-Pain was among those famous fans tweeting furiously the evening of the season six premiere.

We personally love how fiercely dedicated he was to getting home from the airport in time to watch it live.

American Idol success story Kelly Clarkson is also an active tweeter when it comes to the show. Season six premiered on her birthday, and she thought it was the perfect present.

Music icon Madonna actually dressed up as Daenerys Targaryen two years ago, and posted this now-famous photo on Instagram.

The image racked up 73,000 likes — clearly Madonna's fans share her affinity for the Mother of Dragons.

President Obama is such a big fan that he requested advanced screeners from the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images

Rumors began circulating that he had seen season six before anyone else, but Benioff and Weiss didn't specify which season Obama was granted early access to.

Speaking of "Game of Thrones" co-creator David Benioff, his wife is actress Amanda Peet — and she is obsessed with the show.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Peet appeared on Conan in March 2016, and the talk turned to her husband David Benioff and Peet's friendship with his co-creator D.B. Weiss' wife, Andrea. "We don't look ahead, we don't look at dailies and we don't read scripts," Peet said. "We're basically fans just like anyone else."

She then went on to explain how she threatened to leave Benioff if he didn't figure out a way to bring Jon Snow back to the show after his shocking death in season five. As we all know now, Jon Snow is alive thanks to a handy resurrection.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington said "Game of Thrones" is hands-down her favorite show on television — other than her own, of course.

Kerry Washington was previously nominated twice for her role on ABC's "Scandal."

A fan asked Washington the question during a Twitter Q & A session.

Actress Elizabeth Banks was devastated along with the non-celebrity fans when the brutal Red Wedding episode aired.

Banks told her Twitter followers she was "shattered" when Robb and Catelyn Stark were murdered.

Joe Jonas avoids the internet entirely when episodes air to prevent accidentally stumbling on spoilers.

In anticipation of the season six premiere, the middle Jonas brother let followers know how excited he was.

Anna Kendrick is another Hollywood star who can't get enough of Westeros. She usually live tweets during the episodes starting at 9 p.m. EST on HBO.

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

During the premiere of season six, she tweeted out a quote from an emotional scene between Sansa Stark and Brienne of Tarth.

Filmmaker, actor, and comedian Kevin Smith gets insulted if you ask whether or not he's "merely excited" for the show to be back on TV.

Craig Barritt/Getty Images

Smith tossed the popular line "You know nothing, Jon Snow" back to a Twitter follower who dared to ask if he was looking forward to the season six premiere.

"Jessica Jones" star Krysten Ritter was blown away by the "Game of Thrones" season six finale.

Michael Buckner/Getty Images

Last but not least, YouTube star Lilly Singh couldn't wait for the new season of “Game of Thrones” to air.

Singh was beyond excited when the official "Game of Thrones" Twitter account dubbed her a founding member of #HouseSingh and shared a gif of Cersei Lannister.

This weathered hands, Don Goyo, a mezcalero for El Jolgorio, holds a sample of mezcal distilled from the Tepeztate, a large variety of agave with generous, broad rosettes, that grows wild in the craggy foothills of the Sierra Oaxacan mountains. It can require up to 35 years to mature. Here in San Baltazar, a small town an hour's drive from the city of Oaxaca, Tepeztate has long thrived. Now, however, there's a genuine threat to its existence.

In just two decades, mezcal has gone from virtually unknown in the U.S. to a cult-coveted spirit. And while most of the mezcal we drink in the U.S. is made from the Espadín—a variety of agave that takes roughly seven years to mature and is easily cultivated—limited-production bottlings of wild agave varieties have become increasingly desirable amongst a growing set of mezcal enthusiasts.

"A lot of consumers who I talk to have become 'Tobalà drinkers only' or 'Tepeztate drinkers,'" says Fausto Zapata, a co-founder of the brand Mezcal El Silencio, which focuses primarily on Espadín. The rush of the market toward mezcal has happened so quickly, and without enough regulation, that the illegal harvesting of these finite wild varieties has already put some of these species out of existence. "They don't think about the fact that if enough people jump on that train, that [wild] agave will be completely depleted in a little over a decade."

Ismael Gama Rodarte, an agave plant cutter, or "jimador" with 35 years of experience, cuts the tips off from agave branches at a Jose Cuervo "blue agave" field, Oct. 5, 2004, on a field near Tequila, Mexico

Wild, in this context, refers to uncultivated plants that grow haphazardly, usually in rocky hillsides, while "cultivated" agave is typically planted in rows on tilled soil. Mezcal producers also use the phrase semi-wild or semi-cultivated to talk about wild agave varieties that have been grown from seed and then planted in their native environment. While Espadín is a cultivated agave, others like Tobalà, Madrecuixe and Barril have traditionally grown wild, but can also be replanted.

"Some strains are trickier to replant, but there's a misconception that only Espadín can be planted," says Judah Kuper of Mezcal Vago, which produces various limited-production varietal mezcals. Kuper, along with a number of other producers, has sought to protect the biodiversity of agave by planting varieties that are currently being depleted.

This year, Asis Cortés, founder of El Jolgorio, will begin cultivating seeds of Tepeztate, while other mezcaleros that work with El Jolgorio have planted Tobalà, Mexicano, Barril, Madrecuixe, Arroqueño and others. And both Fidencio and Koch el Mezcal are currently "taking seeds from the wild, bringing to the nursery and propagating them, increasing the germination rate by massive amounts," explains Arik Torren, founder of Fidencio and importer of Koch el Mezcal and Derrumbes.

Russ Bowling/Flickr

For his part, Kuper has pledged to a "three-to-one rule," meaning that Mezcal Vago will plant three times as much as they use, something that Mezcal El Silencio practices as well. Vago's network of mezcaleros has planted over 50,000 individual agave plants, half of which is Tobalà, with the remaining half made up of an assortment of lesser-known varieties—all in the hopes of weaning the company almostentirely off wild agave. "Yes, we bottle wild agave, but we try to do only one batch per year," says Kuper.

Mezcal Vago is also working with other mezcal bottlers to support an initiative, through the regulatory organization COMERCAM, to codify mezcal production and limit the use of wild agave. But these efforts still do not solve the problem of unregulated harvesting on communal land, which is depleting wild agave faster than it can be replanted and reach maturity.

"There's a boom happening, and Oaxaca is not well-organized enough to deal with it. There are people involved who are trying to keep an eye on it, but there's also greed and money," says Kuper. The situation is exacerbated, too, by currently high Espadín prices, a result of Oaxaca agave farmers selling off their product to tequila producers in Jalisco. "There's already agave species disappearing from the hills," says Kuper. "And those populations might never come back."

In this Oct. 5, 2004 file photo, a 3 year-old &quotblue agave&quot plant, the prime material for the production of Tequila, grows in a Casa Cuervo agave field near the town of Tequila, Mexico.

While the trend of wild variety agave is growing, it's still fairly niche, and somewhat restricted to spirits connoisseurs or industry professionals. Rare varietal mezcal is often prohibitively costly, retailing between $125-$200, and, to be sought out, requires a certain level of esoteric knowledge that most people don't yet have. Omari Wheat, a spirits buyer and salesman at Astor Wines & Spirits and a sommelier at the Mexican restaurant Cosme in New York, says that Espadín is still the go-to for most people, and he hopes it stays that way.

Misty Kalkofen, who manages the Vino de Mezcal series for Del Maguey, which features wild agave expressions, agrees. "Wild varietals should be a supplement to your main diet of Espadín, as opposed to vice-versa."

Wild varietal mezcal is exciting, not only due to its unique flavor profile, but because it represents an inimitable expression of terroir. But it comes at a cost that is often too great. It remains to be seen whether replanting, protective regulation and increased consumer consciousness will come together to preserve the diversity of agave in Oaxaca.

"When 'the boom' began, people saw how good and rare mezcal was, and it opened a caja de Pandora [Pandora's box]," says Ulises Torrentera, owner of Oaxaca's mezcaleria In Situ and author of the 2000 book, Mezcalaria . "We weren't prepared."

Inside his pocket square of a bar, Torrentera sets up a tasting of three rare varietal mezcals and slides a sheet of notes on each across the bar. At the bottom of the page, in tiny type it reads: Para consumo sacro, todo exceso es profane . "For sacred consumption, all excess is profane."

De Standaard, 09 december 2015 | kvk

“An interesting personality to this one, switching between conversation techniques that employ straight-ahead jazz, Nordic folk jazz, classical and some free improv. And while the varied sounds do differentiate from one another, they all clearly come from the same flame.  Sometimes that fire possesses a distant warmth, other times a comforting heat, but in each instance, it’s equally captivating.”

This Is Jazz Today 4th jan 2016 D. Summer

“3/4 Peace“ was founded by the Belgian saxophone and flute player Ben Sluijs. At his side there are 2 younger musicians making entrance: the Belgian-Peruvian pianist Christian Mendoza and the French bassist Brice Soniano. A trio setting like this is quite original and rather rare. With memories of the more intimate sound of similar trios as Giuffrey/Bley/Swallow or the trio Konitz/Mehldau/Haden, also 3/4 Peace has unmistakable a sound of his own.

Trying to describe them is not so simple. Although the three men have a thorough knowledge of the jazz tradition, they are equally inspired in their improvisations and compositions by among others, the European classical music and jazz-culture.

These men play both standard schemes and free improvisation. There are arrangements of themes from classical music, but they write and play still mainly own original music. They witness a serious quest for the development of both the individual voice as the group sound, in which their three voices are equal.

A rhythmic bass line by Brice Soniano, supportive yet lightweight and precise can, for example, carry some jumpy lines of Christian Mendoza while the alto of Ben Sluijs from there tries to twist in the air. The trio can suddenly split into duos, drawn-out meditative solo moments, energetic trio improvisations …

A large part of the repertoire consists of lyrical melodies and strong harmonic written compositions, though there is always the possibility and the necessity to be able to let go these more solid forms. This way of working and playing has been successfully recorded on their first, very well received vinyl release (el NEGOCITO Records eNR009), and a further thorough way of working with compositions can be heard on the most recent album ‘Rainy Days on the common land’.

Apple Crisp Recipe

Does anyone have an apple crisp recipe that they just LOVE? This is one dish that I crave, but can't seem to make well.

Apple Crisp Recipe

This is from my 1972 Betty Crocker recipe book. It is simple and delicious.

  • 4 cups sliced pared tart apples (about 4 medium or 3 large apples) *Note: I like to use Granny Smith apples for this recipe.
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 8x8x2 inch square pan. Place apple slices in pan. Mix remaining ingredients thoroughly. Sprinkle over apples.

Bake 30 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm. (With light cream or ice cream if desired.)

Variation: Cherry crisp: Substitute one can (1 lb. 5 oz.) cherry pie filling for the apples and use less sugar.

Ginger, you can try different types of fruit, like peaches or mixing rhubarb and cherries, (tart but good, just add a little more sugar if you need to). I like to start out with maybe 1/2 cup sugar and gradually add more according to taste. I've made these crisps using Splenda, also, because my mom is diabetic, so when we have family potluck style dinners, she can also enjoy some desert. Hope this helps!

Apple Crisp Recipe

I can't give you my family recipe, it's from a Betty Crocker book I think, an OLD one, if I did, there would be many people mad at me.

BUT, I can give you several tips.

  1. The best "fat" for me is Imperial Margarine in the gold box, butter and other margarines just don't give me the "crisp"

  2. I don't use oatmeal, the topping is so good I make double. Think about how much people ooh and ahh over the topping alone.I always make a double recipe for the amount of apples (9x13 dish)

  3. Make sure that your oven is heated up and has been heated for several minutes before you put it in.

I don't use sugar or cinnamon on the apples, I just peel, slice (maybe a little lemon) and throw the topping on top. That way you taste the apples AND the topping, not just a bunch of sweet, buttery, cinnamon topping (not that that is a problem).

I made it a rule YEARS ago when I found the recipe and made it the first time (we had a small family apple orchard), my kids LOVE to eat it for breakfast, the only time I break my NO SUGAR before school!

Good luck! Happy experimenting! (04/02/2007)

By michawnpita

Apple Crisp Recipe

Here is a recipe that I use all the time. I love it and so does my family. Enjoy!

  • 2 cans apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine

Grease a 9-in. square baking dish. Pour in apple pie filling. Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Spread evenly over pie filling.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes

By Jean

Apple Crisp Recipe

The recipe on the bottom of the page is the most like mine. I love lots of brown sugar and oats!

My tip: use REAL apples (not canned) and use butter (not margerine), don't cut corners! I think home-made desserts should be made with the best ingredients! Or you might as well get a mix!

By Maryeileen

Easy Apple Crisp

Slice peeled and cored apples into an 8" casserole. Add a couple Tbsps. of water(helps prevent sticking)

Make crumbs of:

  • 1 cup white sugar(or brown if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine.

To this mixture add nutmeg or cinnamon to your taste. Make the crumbs with your hands. Pat crumb mixture on top of apples. Bake 35-40 minutes till bubbly and golden.

This recipe does not use oatmeal,grapenuts or any other cereals. It is plain and delicious. Of course vanilla ice cream served with it is a bonus. Enjoy! (04/04/2007)

By mairmie

Apple Crisp Recipe

This tastes good and is the easiest EVER (I used to make it as a kid).

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 can apple pie filling

Spoon apple filling in 8x10 cake pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix over top. Cover completely.

Melt butter in saucepan or microwave. Spoon over entire top of cake mix. Spread gently with butter knife.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven untill browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.

By Valerie

Apple Crisp

Here's an apple crisp that we really like.

  • 6 medium apples sliced (about 8 cups)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
  • 2 sticks soft butter
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup coconut

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Mix topping ingredients. Set aside.

Spray with Pam a glass baking dish. Peel apples, slice and mix with sugar and cinnamon.

Place in prepared dish. (I used an 11 inch, deep dish, Pampered Chef stoneware)

Cover apples with topping pressing topping down on the apples.

Bake till lightly browned and apples are tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Really yummy.

By quickcooker

Apple Crisp Recipe

Being Diabetic I use the Apple Pie Filling recipe on the back of the Splenda bag (on their website as well). For a topping: A couple of handfuls each of brown sugar, old fashioned oats & flax seed mixed together with just enough canola oil to make a crumbly mixture. This a slightly healthier recipe that still meets the approval of my family. (04/07/2007)

Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances

What is the best way to clean stainless steel appliances?

Robin from Petaluma, Ca

Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances RE: Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances

We bought a new house with stainless appliances and regretted it minutes after moving in. Anyone with kids knows this already - and we have 5 kids.

Finally I got it: wipe with a clean cloth and warm water. NO barkeeper's helper, that removes the protective coating on some stainless. Careful with Pledge and other waxy stuff - that'll build up. Wipe with warm water, then a small spray of WD-40. Polish the appliance with a dry paper towel, and wipe until it looks dry. Prevents fingerprints, lasts forever, and makes cleaning next time really, really easy.

Note that a lot of the expensive wipes from Endust or Pledge contain the same silica based solution...this is just way, way cheaper. (09/18/2008)

Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances

The woman with five children had the ultimate solution - WD40 after wiping with warm water. Bingo! That is the best solution I've tried and my appliances look wonderful - shiny and clean. Trust someone with five kids to have the answer to problem cleaning. She's my hero! (10/03/2008)

Cleaning Water Streaks on Stainless Steel Appliances

Use Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish followed by your standard stainless steel cleaner, and water marks on your fridge will be gone. (10/05/2008)

By John S.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances

I use mineral oil and keep a not-too-oily rag around for knives, cutting boards and various stone tools. After thoroughly cleaning my stainless steel refrigerator with 90% alcohol, I gave it a good rubbing of mineral oil. Now, I can just give the refrigerator a swift wipe with said not-too-oily rag and fingerprints are gone. BTW, the coating is thin enough that it does not feel oily and does not collect dust.

I use mineral oil because it is food safe and will not go rancid like vegetable-based oils. (10/13/2008)

Artichoke Birthday Cake

Category Food

I never make birthday cakes for my sons. I observe very well what their favorite food is pre birthday, and I turn the concept into a birthday cake. However, this time, my mother in law baked a marble cake for my son's birthday that was almost about to ruin my creative juices for an "artichoke" birthday concept, having observed my son's addiction to this thorny vegetable. However, being the positive person I am, I created a birthday cake that made my mother in law, my son and myself truly happy. Never celebrate with a birthday cake. Always create something out of other foods that your beloved ones love to eat. Everybody makes birthday cakes. But the memory of blowing candles on a lasagna cake never fades.

It certainly a novel idea And probably good if you start with young children. My son's favorite food was banana. Even that would be a challenge for me. However, I must say if I tried that now my family would definitely have me committed.(just a joke), but everyone IS very "proper" here. Pam in RI

Beautiful and unusual. Made me laugh remembering that for my 40th birthday the 'cake" my family gave me was a huge hamburger (home made) inside a big, round, loaf of bread!

Never figured out why.. but I certainly remember it!

My son, now 21 :), has never liked birthday cake so we always got a huge tub of vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt and stuck candles in it! Had a couple liters of root beer waiting for making root beer floats too :-D

 Chinese Style Chicken Wings | ThriftyFun

To Top

Chinese Style Chicken Wings

It's a sure winner at our house and perfect for parties. The best part about it besides the incredible taste is that it's easy to make and inexpensive. You'll make it again and again.

  • about 25 chicken wings
  • one 15oz. bottle of soy sauce (you can use the "lite" or low sodium, it's just as good)
  • I Tbsp. garlic powder (more if you like)
  • 3/4 cup of gin (the alcohol burns off in cooking)

Cut tips from wings and cut wings in half. This is easy if you locate the joint. You'll have about 50 pieces. Place wings in a large sturdy zip lock plastic bag or other similar container to marinate. Place all ingredients except chicken in a bowl and stir till garlic powder is dissolved, creating a marinade. Add marinade to chicken wings in the bag or container and turn so all wings are covered. Let marinate for at least 5 hours, turning occasionally.

Drain off liquid and arrange wings on a shallow pan lightly sprayed with cooking spray, being careful not to overlap wings (you may need two pans). Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes or until wings are browned (they will not be crispy) and meat is cooked.

Sometimes I brush the wings with Chinese duck sauce the last 10 minutes of baking but mostly I serve it with the duck sauce on the side. Enjoy, they are really good. I got the recipe years ago from a good friend of mine. Her family owned a Chinese restaurant so you know the recipe is authentic!

 Aloe Vera For Sore Gums | ThriftyFun

< Previous
To Top

Aloe Vera For Sore Gums

Squeeze out a pea size of pure clear aloe vera gel on a clean spoon and add two to three drops of clove oil. Stir together with a cotton swab until you can't see the clove bud oil anymore. Using the cotton swab, you can now dab a little of the mixture lightly on your gums and voila, the pain is numbed. If using for an infant under the age of three, use only one drop of clove bud oil. You can buy the aloe vera gel in its purest form in most grocery stores. Look in the suntan lotion area. You want to make sure it's the pure clear aloe vera, without dyes or other colorants.

Isn't clove oil unsafe for small children? I think I would research this further. Just my Opinion, but a drop of liquid tylenol rubbed on gums helps teething pain.

As far as I know, aloe vera gel causes severe diarrhea even in small quantities when ingested. Since this stuff is going in your mouth, obviously some of it will be swallowed. I would never risk giving something like this to an infant without getting medical advice.

 Honey Bun (Great Dane Mix) | ThriftyFun
To Top

Honey Bun (Great Dane Mix)

Honey Bun is approximately 4 months old. She is maybe a Great Dane mix. She was left behind by a family that moved, I saw the neighborhood kids with her and asked them where she came from. Their parents wouldn't let them keep her, so I said I would find her a home.

Unfortunately, she became sick the next day and I took her to the vet. She had Parvo. I brought her home and nursed her for 4 days, then I put her in the hospital for three days. She has been home for 2 weeks and she seems fine. I got her July 1, 2009. I was going to find her a home but I think she's already there.

She loves to play tag with my two older dogs. She is just learning to fetch a ball. My Shepherd mix is teaching her. I am just so blessed to have her. She is the sweetest little dog.

Also, on this same note, as you can see, she seems to be a Fox Hound, Beagle, Coon Hound Mix. She went to the vet and she said that Gracie would fill out but it would take time. I have been making special cookies for her out of hamburger meat, total cereal and karo syrup and pediatlyte, the homemade version and other fattening things that wont hurt her to have her gain weight and she gets about three or four cookies per day. She wont gain weight on regular kibble, since they will eat only enough to barely stay alive when they are starved like this. We are very proud of her.

What a precious and wonderful story, one that happens to us all the time...Grace came to us in the back of a concerned neighbor;s car. She was all hunkered in the back when we opened up the hatchback. She looked terrified. I had to hook the leash on her and literally had to pull gently but firmly until she was all the way out of the car.

She was nothing but skin with bones protruding. We took her and told the person that if she was sick or too hurt she would probably be euthanized. We did a quick once over and found a stick in the top of her mouth wedged so far up on the roof of her mouth crossways likee a toothpick. My husband jerked it out. After that she began to eat and gain weight. YAAAAA!

It is more than likely that she has found her home. We have so many little souls here but she has had such a hard life, I don't think I can let her go anywhere else. She has finally come home.

What a sweet face! I will never understand why people will get a cat, or a dog and then not be responsible for their care. If you can't take care of the poor creature, please don't let it fend on it's own. Bring the animal to a shelter, only as a last resort. Try finding a good home. Also be sure to tell the person taking the pet if things don't work out to give you a call so you can take the animal back. Please spay and neuter your pets. The cat and dog populations are out of control. These unwanted, unloved, homeless creatures live a life of misery and suffering. God bless all of you who take that extra step to care for an innocent animal.

Surgery on N.J. governor's leg successful

Associated Press • Apr 14, 2007 at 9:48 AM

CAMDEN, N.J. - Surgery on Gov. Jon S. Corzine's injured leg was successful Saturday, while state police said the driver blamed for the wreck that critically injured the governor had been found but didn't realize he was involved.

Corzine's recovery was progressing better than doctors expected, said Dr. Steven Ross, head of trauma at Cooper University Hospital. Doctors cleaned a 6-inch wound during surgery on his left thigh.

The governor is not able to speak and not aware of his surroundings because of his heavy sedation. He is expected to remain on a ventilator until at least Monday, doctors said.

"He awakens, answers to simple â€˜yes or no' questions about pain," Ross said. "He won't remember much of what is going on at this point."

Corzine was hurt Thursday when the SUV he was riding in was clipped by a vehicle that swerved to avoid a red pickup truck that officials said was being driven erratically. Corzine's vehicle slammed into a guard rail along the Garden State Parkway in Galloway Township, near Atlantic City.

The 20-year-old driver of the red truck was found Friday night at an Atlantic City casino where he works and interviewed by police, police said.

He wasn't charged with leaving the scene of an accident because he didn't realize he was involved in the crash, State Police Capt. Al Della Fave said. However, authorities left the door open for charges to be filed later, saying the investigation was not complete.

The driver of the truck picked it up Saturday afternoon at the New Jersey State Police station in Buena Vista. He did not talk to the media. An official with knowledge of the investigation described the driver as a "special needs driver," but said it was unclear if that contributed to the accident. The official spoke also on the condition of anonymity because that official was not authorized to discuss the matter.

The driver apparently thought he had avoided an accident because his truck never came in contact with other vehicles, police said.

"He hadn't any inkling that he contributed to it (the accident)," Della Fave said. "That alleviates him of the responsibility of remaining at the accident scene."

The driver was tracked down in part using leads from Garden State Parkway surveillance cameras and toll information, police said.

Corzine - who was riding in a sport utility vehicle driven by a state trooper and headed to a meeting between radio show host Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team - apparently was not wearing his seat belt.

, as required by law. Also, a governor's spokesman said he didn't believe the air bags in the SUV deployed. The governor's femur bone was broken in two places, and it protruded through his skin. He also suffered a broken sternum, 12 broken ribs, a head laceration and a minor fracture on a lower vertebra, according to doctors at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he was flown by helicopter after the crash. Corzine, 60, did not appear to suffer any brain damage. His injuries were not considered life-threatening, but doctors say the governor faces lengthy rehabilitation. And it will likely be at least three to six months before he can walk normally. A similar surgery to clean out Corzine's femur was planned again Monday, Dr. Robert F. Ostrum said. Tom Shea, the governor's chief of staff, said he was hopeful Corzine could resume his duties in "a week or so," depending on doctor recommendations. Shea said it was possible Corzine would govern from his hospital bed. Corzine was moved to the trauma intensive care unit after surgery Thursday night and remained in critical but stable condition Saturday. Senate President Richard Codey officially became acting governor Thursday evening after getting a fax from Corzine's office saying the governor had been injured.

New York

U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday after Federal Reserve policymakers voted to keep interest rates unchanged and gave no indication that a rate rise was imminent. A modest rebound in Chinese stocks also helped push the market higher.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 121.12 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,751.39. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 15.32 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,108.57 and the Nasdaq composite rose 22.53 points, or 0.4 percent, to 5,111.73.

The Fed said the U.S. economy continues to improve in numerous aspects, but signaled that it wants to see further economic gains and higher inflation before raising rates. Many investors expect the Fed will still lift rates in September or December, but its statement gave no timing for the raise.

Low interest rates have been good for stock investors, helping fuel a bull market that has lasted more than six years.

Bond investors seemed to agree with the idea that the Fed was in no rush to raise rates. Bonds rose, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury note traded at a yield of 2.27 compared with the nearly 2.30 percent before the Fed statement.

More Information

Investors had a second day of relative calm in the Chinese stock market. China's Shanghai Composite Index rebounded 3.4 percent to close at 3,969.40 after flitting between gains and losses for most of the day. Alarm over the sharp fall in Chinese shares has abated somewhat as the Shanghai index has steadied following Monday's 8.5 percent dive.

A strong batch of corporate earnings also helped lift the market. Gilead Sciences rose $2.64, or 2.3 percent, to $115.71. The company's profits jumped 23 percent from a year ago, helped by its new blockbuster hepatitis C medicine Harvoni. The company also raised its 2015 forecasts.

Northrop Grumman led defense companies higher after it posted a stronger-than-expected profit in the second quarter and raised its outlook for the year. Northrop's stock jumped $10.10, or 6.2 percent, to $173.44, its biggest one-day gain in at least five years.

Gatlinburg, Tenn.

Crews discovered three more bodies as they searched the rubble of wildfires that torched hundreds of homes and businesses near the Great Smoky Mountains, bringing the death toll to 10, officials said Thursday.

Authorities set up a hot line for people to report missing friends and relatives, and after following up on dozens of leads, they said many of those people had been accounted for. They did not say whether they believe anyone else is still missing.

Search-and-rescue missions continued until dark, but Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said that since it had been three days since the fires, "we have to come to a realization that the potential is great that it could be more of a recovery than a rescue."

Nearly 24 hours of rain on Wednesday helped dampen the wildfires, but fire officials struck a cautious tone, saying people shouldn't have a false sense of security because months of drought have left the ground bone dry and the wildfires can rekindle.

A wildfire, likely started by a person, spread Monday from the Great Smoky Mountains into the tourist city of Gatlinburg when hurricane-force winds toppled trees and power lines, blowing embers in all directions. More than 14,000 residents and visitors in Gatlinburg were forced to evacuate and the city has been shuttered ever since.

Watchdog to launch inquiry to end big banks' monopoly [Scotland on Sunday]
[July 13, 2014]

Watchdog to launch inquiry to end big banks' monopoly [Scotland on Sunday]

(Scotland on Sunday Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PLANS for a full-blown inquiry into the banking sector could be unveiled as early as this week as the competition regulator seeks to shake up the market for current accounts and small business lending.The Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) is expected to publish the findings of its study into a market dominated by Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland, and sources expect the regulator to say it will launch a formal investigation in the autumn, which could lead to a radical overhaul of the sector.Earlier this year, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), which was replaced by the CMA in April, said that competition in the banking industry "may not be working effectively" and it was concerned that SMEs may not be getting the best deals from their providers.The OFT's update on the study into the market, published in March, said: "Barriers to entry and expansion have apparently contributed to smaller providers finding it difficult to enter and expand their business across the core business banking products."Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer organisation Which?, has called for the CMA to launch a full competition inquiry to tackle what he called the "unhealthy dominance" of the biggest banks.He said: "We estimate only 4.2 per cent of people will switch accounts this year. Unless we see an injection of much-needed competition into the market, the major high street banks will continue to have a stranglehold."The CMA has said that its review will consider the effects of moves such as an initiative to help customers switch current accounts within seven days, and branch disposal programmes by Lloyds and RBS.Bank of Scotland-owner Lloyds and RBS control about 70 per cent of the SME lending market in Scotland, and a recent report from Holyrood's economy committee said their dominance should be broken by establishing new sources of credit for SMEs.Lloyds, which is 24.9 per cent owned by the taxpayer, has partially floated off its TSB branch network, while fellow state-backed lender RBS is planning a similar move for its Williams & Glyn operation by the end of 2016, with a full disposal due the following year.Labour leader Ed Miliband has said that, if his party wins the general election in May, big high street lenders would be forced to give up branches and open up the market to new competitors, but British Bankers' Association (BBA) chief executive Anthony Browne argued that proposals to limit the number of customers a bank can have would lead to worse customer service.In his speech to the BBA annual dinner at the Mansion House in London, Browne said: "A measure aimed at promoting competition will instead stifle it."The BBA believes that easier access to payment systems, more flexible capital rules and low-cost funding for challenger banks would be more effective in boosting competition than caps on market share or further branch sell-offs.Last week, the Bank of England's Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority said a reduction in the capital needed by new entrants had seen a surge in potential applications from challenger banks over the past year. One of the most recent fledgling lenders to secure a licence is Hampden & Co - the private bank previously known as Scoban being launched in Edinburgh by Ray Entwistle.The CMA declined to comment, but the regulator is understood to be preparing to make an announcement towards the middle of the week.

Video: ‘Four Christmases’

updated 12/7/2008 5:52:34 PM ET 2008-12-07T22:52:34

Movie crowds remained in the holiday spirit as Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn's comedy "Four Christmases" rang up $18.2 million to lead the box office for a second-straight weekend.

The Warner Bros. film raised its 12-day total to $70.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"`Four Christmases' was set up perfectly. It's an evergreen subject for the holiday period," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "This is a movie that can play and is playing from Thanksgiving through the end of the year."

Despite the economic downturn, Hollywood continued to outperform last year's holiday season, with revenues up for the fifth weekend in a row.

The top-12 movies took in $77.5 million, a 6 percent increase from the same weekend in 2007, when "The Golden Compass" opened at No. 1 with $25.8 million.

Revenues for the year are at $8.7 billion, slightly ahead of the pace last year, when Hollywood had record receipts of $9.7 billion. Accounting for inflation, actual attendance is down 4 percent because of higher ticket prices, according to Media By Numbers.

Only one new movie opened in full wide release, Lionsgate's action tale "Punisher: War Zone," which delivered a weak No. 8 debut with $4 million. Based on Marvel Comics' "The Punisher," the movie stars Ray Stevenson in the title role as a vigilante hero going up against a crime boss.

In narrower release, Sony's music saga "Cadillac Records" opened solidly with $3.5 million to come in at No. 9. The film features Adrien Brody, Beyonce Knowles, Jeffrey Wright, Cedric the Entertainer and Mos Def in the story of legendary blues label Chess Records.

Ron Howard's drama "Frost/Nixon" had a huge debut in limited release, taking in $180,147 in just three theaters, averaging a whopping $60,049 a cinema. That compares to a $5,451 average in 3,335 theaters for "Four Christmases."

A likely contender for a best-picture nomination at the Academy Awards, the Universal Pictures film stars Frank Langella as former President Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen as British TV personality David Frost in the story of their momentous 1977 interviews.

"Frost/Nixon" expands to more theaters over the next two weeks.

Sony's James Bond sequel "Quantum of Solace" took in $6.6 million to raise its domestic total to $151.5 million. The film topped the $500 million mark worldwide.

I'm a huge Blackberry fan.  I have had a Blackberry for close to 6 years now and have never looked back. They do what they are designed to do (email and phone), no questions asked.  I've used windows mobile phones and have a few friends that have them and it seams like they are always having issues.  The iPhone is definitely a strong competitor but without a real keyboard and push email its not an option for me.  There is one huge are area that Blackberrys and RIM (Research In Motion) is lacking in and that's developer support. While there are many things to complain about the issue that pains me the most as a web developer is the Blackberry Browser.

The iPhone browser rocks.  The Blackberry Browser doesn't.  Its like developing for IE 4.0.  There is limited xhtml  and css support and if you follow the documentation its possible to create a functional website that looks decent  on the device.  There is very little javascript support, but it does have support to get GPS coordinates from a device with builtin GPS, like the Blackberry 8800, 8820, and 8310, which could be used to create some very cool location based websites.  Unfortunately the documentation is completely wrong.   The information in the content developer guide is just plain wrong and sample code on the blackberry developer website isn't even valid javascript.

Here is what I have found to be a more accurate description of the blackberry.location javascript API in the blackberry browser based on my testing using a Blackberry 8800 running v4.1.1.90:

gpsblackberry.location.latitude & blackberry.location.longitude:
The current latitude and longitude of the device.  The first time you access either of these properties the user is prompted if they would like to let the website access location information.  There is currently no setting on the device or on the enterprise server to disable this prompt or whitelist specific sites. If the user selects "No" then "0" will be returned for the latitude & longitude.

This method sets the GPS aid mode to be used. 0 - Cell Site, 1 - Assisted, 2 - Autonomous.  The documentation is mostly correct on this method. "Autonomous" is the most accurate and most supported but also the slowest. The other two methods require carrier support and my carrier doesn't support it so I couldn't test them.

This method request and update of the location from the device.  This method is non-blocking so if you try to read the laitude/longitude right after calling this method you may or may not get the newest information.  This method returns true on success.  If you have set an invalid AidMode (0 or 1 and the carrier doesn't support that feature) this method will return false and the callback method will never be called.

This method is the worst a far as incorrect documentation goes.  This method sets a callback function that is called after you call refreshLocation() and the device actually has the new location data.  However in my testing it appears that this does not get called once per refreshLocation() call.  After you call refreshLocation() the callback function is invoked continuously when the location changes (about every 10-15 seconds in my testing). Another very important note is that you have to pass this method a string that gets evail-ed (like you can do with setTimeout).

Here is a sample that puts all of the pieces together.  It simply shows a javascript alert with the latitude and longitude when the location is updated:

   1: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
   2:
   3:
   4:     <title>GPS Testing</title>
   5:
  47:
  48:
  49:
  50:

Hopefully someday we will get a more feature rich, fully documented, Blackberry browser with DOM and AJAX support  (Firefox mobile anyone?).  Until then hopefully I have saved someone days of debugging incorrectly documented features.

Nice article, thank you. An improved Blackberry browser indeed would be sweet.

Thanks again,

Nice article. The code worked as advertised in the 8130 and 8330 simulators. When I tried the code out on my Verizonwireless 8330, it didn't work. Of course, I know now that Verizon has disabled the GPS unless you pay for VZNavigator at $9.99 per month. All of you with Verizon consider this a warning and don't waste your time trying to get it to work.

Thanks for the great code!

Have you taken a look at Opera Mini on the Blackberry? I used to use it, when I was a Blackberry guy, and everyone I have pointed to it seems to stick with it on their Blackberry devices for daily browsing purposes.

I have a Blackberry 8100 Pearl and want to get a external bluetooth GPS receiver.

(8100 Pearl doesnt have internal GPS)

Will this code work even though I am using the external bluetooth GPS receiver?

Jaco Ras
Monday, 08 June 2009 12:54:28 (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)

Good question. I'll check for you. Currently we test using the internal GPS which already has a documented API. However it wouldn't be that hard to write an app that reads the Bluetooth COM port that is accessing the GPS, grab that data and then send it to our app (which does have a set of open API's so that developers can extend it to other sensors i.e. blood pressure cuff).

Monday, 08 June 2009 13:01:52 (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)

Just checked and we have tested the BB Curve using an external GPS puck and it works just fine. You can send the location to any web site you desire using the standard Internet BB browser.

Is it possible for javascript running in the Blackberry browser to monitor location and send http requests while the browser is in the background?
Wednesday, 08 July 2009 06:02:50 (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)
Hi Peter,

Quick question:

Will the GPS be automatically be enabled on request through the browser?

Or do first have to activate GPS before going on browser?

(Pity I dont have a Blackberry to test on)

Hi All,

Is there away to turn of the pop-up containing "A JavaScript has requested the physical location of your device. Do you wish to provide this to the script" after you have accepted access JavaScript code on entering the page.

Basically what happens I send the lat & lng with window.location.href when the locationCB() function is invoked this reloads the page and the pop-up appears again is there some way to create session so that the browser don't ask the question again on each reload.

Thanks for the help..

I tried the above example code on BB simulator 8820. I have made a simple web application using Eclipse IDE which serves this code as index.html. I run this application on Tomcat. When I hit the application through BB simulator browser, it says that latitude and longitude, both are 0 and after sometime, my Eclipse IDE crashes.

Could you please explain the reason behind that.

i tried your code in blackberry 9630 simulator, but getting zero for both lattitude and longitude.
Any suggestions

Thursday, 31 March 2011 15:01:17 (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
For all the Blackberry fans in the world, let's hope that this browser weakness is addressed in the near future.
Wednesday, 12 October 2011 15:47:02 (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)
We are developing a native blackberry application which needs to capture GPS and/or cell-tower information on a periodic basis (every 1 hour). The code seems to work properly when tested by our developers in India but it doesnt work on our blackberry in the US (Verizon; 9650). The developers are saying that we need to go through an approval process with Verizon in order to be able to collect location information.

Can someone please help us understand whether (a) we do need Verizon's approval, (b) any leads on how we do this and how long it takes, (c) do other major carriers also require the same/similar approvals (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint), (d) how do other apps such as Foursquare, Facebook etc collect location information (do they go through the same process)?

Thanks for the help!

As I write this, it is 10 below.

Coldest in a generation? Maybe if you have a very short memory. According to the Channel 4 weather almanac, it was 12 below on Feb. 3, 2011.

Don't know about you, but three years seems to be a mighty short generation.

Now I don't want to discount 10 below. That's cold, and even dangerously cold which is why it's a good idea to call off school and not make the kids walk to school or to bus stops and wait, regardless how well you bundle them up.

But 10 below speaks for itself. It doesn't need the false "coldest in a generation" hype.

5:23: Did you actually learn anything school? Like the difference between "to" and "too?"

Right, 5:14. I'm going to take advice on how to survive winter weather from an idiot who went outside at 5 a.m. when it was 10 below.

Some people have to go to work. Remember what that is you lazy ass? Some people have to go outside and earn a living even when it is "LIFE-THREATENING" !!!!!

Ah. So you were going to work at 5 a.m., and immediately logged onto TKC to comment how not cold it is, as long as you wear a coat, hat and gloves.

Sorry, but if you think 10 below isn't dangerous, try standing out there for longer than it takes to walk to and from your car.

Another day in the TKC workhouse!

7:54 did you go to school to learn how to work or do you just sit at home and fuck with those who know something. You must be a pussie and so you had to whine about a dropped O.

Hi wondered if anyone can help...

I've put the toodledo "add task" button on my tool bar but get this message when I try to add a task:

"Your login or password is incorrect. Please update your information in the settings window."

Does anyone know what I should do, or where the settings window is? I'm using Firefox.

Thank you!!!

If you look under the Firefox "Tools" menu you should see a Toodledo submenu. On that menu there is a "Settings..." option. That will bring up a dialog box where you can input your username and password.

I get exactly the same behaviour as len250 had, even though I set the email adress and password in the settings box to exactly those I use to login to the site from the browser (ie not the tool) successfully. Password and email are shown correctly (and identically) as properties of the chrome://toodledo and URLs in the firefox password manager.

The password has punctuation in it. Could this be related to an earlier bug with \ appearing in passwords?

It could be. Try removing the punctuation from your password and see if you can login. If that works, let us know what the offending punctuation is and we'll check on it.
