Hell's Kitchen

Aspiring young chefs are put to the ultimate challenge in Hell's Kitchen, a reality television competition starring world renowned chef Gordon Ramsay. Each of these chefs dreams of fame and fortune, but many soon find their dreams becoming nightmares. Chef Ramsay demands quality and the intensity of the challenges is beyond anything the contestants can ever imagine. Split into two teams, they must compete against each other to provide their very best in the kitchen. If they do, they are lavishly rewarded with everything from extravagant trips to a ride on Ramsay's personal yacht.


Those that fail are forced to suffer humiliating punishment.At the end of each episode, the chef who provided the best performance in Ramsay's opinion on the losing team is chosen to select two chefs from their own team for elimination. They must then give their reasons for their selection. Though one of these two chefs may be eliminated, Ramsay is under no obligation to choose either, and the final decision as to who is sent home is made solely by him.From Waffle House chefs to executive chefs, the competitors are tested in every way possible, from leadership skills to culinary skills. Traditional challenges include a taste-test of everyone's palette and special events such as birthdays and weddings.

DNR to hold public information meeting on Round Lake

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will hold a public information meeting on a proposal to formally designate Round Lake in Murray County as a wildlife lake. The meeting will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 7, at Murray County Central School, 2420 28th St., Slayton, Minn.
Located 12 miles north and two miles east of Slayton, Round Lake is a 162-acre shallow basin with a history of excellent migratory waterfowl use. At present, however, the lake is in a condition typical of many shallow lakes in southwestern Minnesota with poor water quality caused by excessive nutrients and abundant rough fish.
Designating Round Lake as a wildlife lake would give DNR authority to conduct periodic drawdowns by way of two proposed water control structures on the lake. A drawdown can improve waterfowl, wildlife and water quality conditions by stimulating critical aquatic plant growth and promoting a rough fish die-off.
A fish barrier is also proposed to prevent fish from re-entering the lake. DNR contracted with Ducks Unlimited for a study to help determine effective management actions.

Malin Akerman: Look of the day

Malin Akerman recently attended the premiere of her new comic book movie version watchmen at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London. Malin was wearing a beautiful black flowing gown. The gown was a transparent gown with black studs. She left her silky, smooth blonde hair open with a middle parting and making her look stunning and gorgeous. The bright blue eyes framed with black eye liner and the cherry lips made her face look flawless.







Thelayered gown had black satin hemlines adding grace to Malin’s beauty. Malin in one of her interviews had said that in her new venture Watchmen she had to wear a skin tight outfit which was not at all comfortable and when she used to get out of it the apparel used to stink like a human condom. The apparel was damn hot and uncomfortable. But nevertheless we wish Malin all the success in return of her hard work.

'NCIS' eliminates the love triangle

We’ve reached the penultimate “NCIS” for the season, and it’s becoming progressively worse for the DiNozzo/Ziva dynamic. They might play nice in public, but it’s anyone’s guess how this’ll play out by season’s end.The Spoilers wish Jamie Murray could stay on in a recurring role as a love interest for McGee.
So what happens when you get together high-profile government type for a late-night “poker game?” In the Bartlet White House, it’s an AA meeting; for the leaders of the Alphabet Soup, it’s a strategic meeting on how best to utilize Director Vance. Problem is, someone caught wise that nary a hand was being played, and it cost an ICE agent his life. Ducky arrives to conclude the agent was strangled, and in the ensuing fight for his life, knocked a listening device from the window. The sexy agent in charge of security at the SecNav’s house (Lila from Dexter) is so upset she let everyone down that she smashes the bug into a million little pieces.
Abby is rather upset at Agent Julia Foster-Yates for destroying the bug… among other things. Meanwhile, the rift between Ziva and DiNozzo is growing by the minute, especially when the latter suspects (correctly) that he’s yet to rid himself of the Rivkin problem. As it stands, the only thing he isn’t tied to is the murder of the ICE agent… at least not initially. Once Gibbs and FBI Agent Fornell find out the true meaning of the poker game, they learn of the newest lead suspect: Abin Tabal, who just happens to be connected to the whole West Coast mess that left Callen in critical condition. Since Ducky determines the attack on the agent wasn’t meant to be lethal, they know there’s a bigger conspiracy afoot.
Gibbs is mad as hell for being left out of the loop, and initially directs his anger at Agent Foster-Yates. McGee saves her by suggesting she help analyze surveillance video. On said video is a car casing the joint… driven by none other than Vance, who just wanted in on the reindeer games (which everyone presumes he’s excluded because he wiped the floor clean in the last game.)
Back to Ziva and DiNozzo: she hastily leaves to meet with Rivkin, a fact DiNozzo picks up on after translating part of her conversation. His master plan is to get Ziva to leave the lunch (which she does) and return to NCIS so he can slip in and even more forcefully demand Rivkin take the red-eye back to Israel. Naturally, he doesn’t comply.

As for DiNozzo, he’s rather distracted by the whole “Ziva/Rivkin” thing that when Gibbs tries to throw Rule 11 his way, he mistakes Rule 12 instead. Sensing the drama has to end immediately, he drives over to Ziva’s, only to find Rivkin by himself. After one final ultimatum, DiNozzo goes to place Rivkin under arrest. What happens next is a most epic struggle. Rivkin initially has the upper hand, though DiNozzo smashed him into enough glass to have a shard go through his enemy’s side. All seems lost for Rivkin, except he makes one final lunge (glass in hand) towards DiNozzo, who has no choice but to shoot him multiple times… just as Ziva busts through the door!
Speaking of jealous, Abby simply cannot stand the way McGee and Agent Lila are working together. Sensing she’s not wanted there, Lila makes her way into another tense stand-off when Ziva and DiNozzo return to NCIS. To make matters worse, Gibbs and Fornell lead down the path to accusing her of the murder. And to think, she’s actually trying to play nice, unlike what she did with Dexter Morgan!
Abby finally links the bug to Abin, but all Gibbs, Fornell and Agent Lila find when they get there is a dead man who ingested a cyanide pill. With a wiped hard drive, all other signs point to Abin being the man all along, so the case is closed and Agent Lila takes her leave.
Secretary Davenport makes a cameo appearance in Gibbs’ basement to, among other things, present the gunnery sergeant with a fine bottle of whiskey. Gibbs takes the opportunity to hand over the file on Vance, but the good Secretary decides to do what Leroy couldn’t/wouldn’t do after all this time: open and read it. To Davenport’s slight disappointment, most of the file is censored, though he’s certain it wouldn’t present the “whole picture” anyway. It seems Vance is to become the point man in a major operation against the Israelis.
