Though he did famously take a shining to Celebs Go Dating alumni Joey Essex. |
Speaking of the Towie star, Tom said: "He’s enchanting – I get lost in his azure eyes. |
"Everything about him is incandescent, especially his pearly teeth and coruscating personality!" |
In October he told The Sun: "I’m a serial dater. I had a copper recently who was a bit of a mainstay. |
"Unfortunately it’s fizzling, but I’m Panglossian about love, so I have a feeling it’s just around the corner." |

All right, you know the deal – 4 pages – 1 page front cover, 1.5 page SRD, 1.5 page content, let’s go! |
-Blood Beak: Numerical escalation,. bleed on crits and negative conditions on crits. Solid. |
-Carrion Feeder: Numerical escalation + mythic power-based rerolls with tier-bonus. |
-Life’s Blood: Creature gains twice damage you take in hp; additionally, a creature subject to it can gain fast healing if you spend mythic power. The original feat is problematic and so is, by extension, this one. |
-Long-Nose Form: Skill-bonuses in long-nose form and spend mythic power for temporary scent-based blindsense. |
-Magical tail: Sp-use increase; also spend more uses PLUS mythic power for more powerful effects. Very cool, though the feats grants too early access to some very powerful SPs. |
-Realistic Likeness: Numerical escalation and mythic power-based misdirection – pretty cool! |
-Scavenger’s Eye: Numerical escalation; move action to determine the most valuable item; mythic power-based reroll. Pretty weak. |
-Shadowy Dash: Full-speed Stealth (even running) while in dim light or below, even while being observed. Also, use mythic power to trail shadows. Absolutely awesome! |
-Sleep Venom: Numerical escalation and additional uses. |
-Spit Venom: Numerical escalation regarding uses per day and faster spitting of poison; if you spit as a full-round action, greatly extend reach based on tier; pay mythic power to AoE-spit – awesome! |
-Tengu Raven Form: Better variety via the base feat; switching sizes fluently and additional uses per day via mythic power. Neat! |
-Tengu Wings: Fly speed expands and duration as well; Extend this duration at the cost of 1/2 movement. Cool! |
-Tree Hanger: Better climbing and no denied Dex-bonus; the bigger the action used, the better your bonus, with mythic power supplementing this. |
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no significant glitches. Layout adheres to Legendary Games’ 2-column full color standard and the pdf has no bookmarks, but needs none at this length. |
Jeff Lee and Jason Nelson deliver an intriguing mythic mini, which, while not always perfect, does sport some truly inspired mythic feats. Furthermore, the issues I see here are predicated mostly on the base feats (apart from the kitsune’s imho a tad bit too strong improved SPs) – but I can’t blame the pdf for that. He... |
You can get this cool mythic mini here on OBS and here on d20pfsrd.com’s shop! |
I loot the minion's body! |
Jamie Vardy is the Premier League top scorer – so why the lack of recognition? |
Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy has more goals, more shots on target and has created more chances than any other Premier League striker this season. So why is everyone still talking about Diego Costa and Sergio Agüero? |
Trawl through the Premier League’s leading scorers – or, to be more specific, a list of 25 players who have registered three goals or more this season – and there are only five Englishmen. Saido Berahino, Raheem Sterling and Nathan Redmond have scored four times, Callum Wilson, whose campaign has been cruelly wrecked b... |
Vardy has plundered nine in as many appearances, three more than anyone else, and if the Leicester City striker gets another goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday, he will join a select band by becoming only the sixth player in the last 20 years – Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Adebayor an... |
Whether Vardy is getting the praise and credit he deserves for blazing such a trail at the start of this campaign is another matter. Roy Hodgson thinks extremely highly of Vardy, with the England manager surprising many by calling him up at the end of last season and giving him four caps between now and then, but wider... |
It will certainly be interesting to see who picks up October’s Premier League player of the month award. September’s went to Anthony Martial, the French teenager who made a big impression for Manchester United after scoring on his debut against Liverpool before adding another two against Southampton. Interestingly, how... |
It is the nature of the media beast that the spotlight shines brightest on the biggest clubs and the sexiest names, whether that be Chelsea trying to emerge from a crisis, Sterling scoring the first hat-trick of his senior career or Jürgen Klopp enjoying a pint of Stella Artois, and it is perhaps also true that in an a... |
Those close to Vardy talk about “club snobbery” and wonder whether it counts against the striker that, as well as playing for an unfashionable Premier League team – albeit one that is thriving and where he is extremely happy – the 28-year-old goes under the radar because he is a product of the non-league football pyram... |
Others may not be falling over themselves to get excited about Vardy’s goalscoring exploits because of off-the-field matters, notably the incident in a casino when he made a racist remark to another gambler, whom he called a “Jap” during an argument. Vardy deeply regrets the whole episode and has publicly apologised fo... |
Leicester and England stood by him and nobody can dispute the fact that Vardy has stayed true to his promise to let his feet do the talking from now on. Beyond the deluge of goals, which have arrived at an average of one every 89 minutes this season, Vardy has had more shots on target (30) than any other Premier League... |
An aggressive runner who never gives defenders any peace, Vardy is much more than a predator who comes to life in the penalty area, and Leicester have reaped the rewards of playing to his strengths. He is a constant menace and thrives in a team that presses high up the pitch, acting as Leicester’s first defender when t... |
His transformation from this season to last, when he came good towards the end but scored only once in his first 24 Premier League appearances, has been startling and there are several factors behind the turnaround. Chief among them is the fact that Vardy has flourished since being used as an out-and-out striker, rathe... |
Vardy had his moments on the flank last season, most memorably in what he describes as the game of his life, when he ran Manchester United ragged in that extraordinary 5-3 victory at the King Power Stadium 13 months ago, but he is not a winger and never will be. Playing him through the middle leaves the opposition much... |
As well as the positional shift, Leicester’s staff point to the way Vardy has worked on refining his finishing skills by recognising the importance of placement over power at times – his brilliant opening goal against Arsenal this season was a case in point – and in doing so acknowledge the part that Kevin Phillips, th... |
Last but by no means least is confidence, which Vardy admitted is “oozing” after his second-half brace at Southampton on Saturday salvaged a point. Vardy, clearly, is not going to keep scoring at the same rate – at least that is what Claudio Ranieri, Leicester’s manager, said before the Southampton game – and it is tem... |
Yet those who have closely followed Vardy on a remarkable journey that started with Stocksbridge Park Steels in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League will point – with some justification – to his position at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts and his place in the England squad, and argue that he has long s... |
EXCLUSIVE: Two months into the job, Showtime entertainment president David Nevins is already hard at work building a development slate with some big-name auspices. Among the latest to sign up for projects at the pay cable networks are Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards who are working on a drama project together, and Jef... |
Zodiac co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards co-created and will executive produce the Showtime project. There is hope that they may also star but that is still unclear as Ruffalo’s feature commitments may get in the way. Weeds writer/executive producer Roberto Benabib is writing the script set in the morally ambig... |
Daniels and Busfield co-created Happily Ever After, which was written by Daniels. It would star Daniels as a Michigan factory worker who quits his job to pursue music. Busfield is set to direct the potential pilot, with him and Daniels executive producing. In addition to his acting career, Michigan-native Daniels is a ... |
At Showtime, Nevins recently greenlighted his first pilot, Homeland, from 24 showrunner Howard Gordon, and has also put in development projects from ER executive producer John Wells and director/producer Richard Shepard. He also recently renewed the network’s comedies Weeds and The Big C. |
Amazon plans to make 20,000 fewer holiday hires this year because robots are "more efficient," internet analyst Mark May says. |
This is the "first time on record they'll actually hire fewer this holiday season than a year ago," May adds. |
Amazon has reduced the number of temporary hires it needs this holiday shopping season as the company turns to more robots, Citi analyst Mark May told CNBC Friday. |
"We've seen an acceleration in the use of robots within their fulfillment centers and that has corresponded with fewer and fewer workers that they're hiring around the holidays," the internet analyst said on "Squawk Alley." |
With the robotic additions, the 2017 holiday season marked the first time that temporary hires at Amazon was flat from the year prior. |
The internet giant expects to hire 100,000 seasonal workers this go around, 20,000 less than last year, May said. |
This is the "first time on record they'll actually hire fewer this holiday season than a year ago," he said. "[This] corresponds very closely with the use of robots and automation within their facilities." |
Hiring can help analysts predict expense growth at companies, May said, "which has become an important theme within the internet sector." |
Robots and automation, which the Seattle-based company began adding to its warehouses about three years ago, "are making them more efficient," May explained. |
"Since the last holiday season, we've focused on more ongoing full-time hiring in our fulfillment centers and other facilities. Overall, we are proud to have created over 130,000 new jobs in the last year alone. In last year's hiring release, we shared we were hiring for 120,000 seasonal associates to join our team of ... |
"It's a myth that automation replaces jobs and destroys net job growth. Automation increases productivity and in some cases increases consumer demand, which also creates more jobs. Automation makes the jobs in our fulfillment center more efficient and allows associates to redirect their focus to other tasks. Since the ... |
Amazon is still in the decision process on which city to pick for its second headquarters. Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos expects to choose a place by the end of the year. |
The company has said its so-called HQ2 would bring 50,000 new jobs. |
Britain has escalated its growing feud with Russia, kicking out 23 diplomats and raising tensions to levels not seen in decades. Canada and other Western allies offered little more than words of support and Russia hit back with a vow to retaliate. |
Britain also suspended high-level contacts with the Kremlin after Prime Minister Theresa May directly implicated Moscow in the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter last week in Salisbury. Ms. May said Britain would also pull all dignitaries from this summer’s World Cup in Russia and ... |
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Russia’s likely involvement in the chemical attack must be condemned in the strongest terms. |
“The attack is despicable and unacceptable that there be chemical weapons used against citizens of the United Kingdom,” he said Wednesday, adding that he spoke with Ms. May to offer Canada’s support. |
But the Canadian government stopped short of announcing any new sanctions on Russia. |
Russia rejected the allegations and the country’s embassy in London said it “considers this hostile action as totally unacceptable, unjustified and shortsighted.” Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko also said he expected British diplomats to be kicked out of Moscow. “There will be expulsions. As you understand in diplomatic... |
British investigators have said Mr. Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia, were exposed to a class of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Both remain in critical condition in hospital and a police officer who was also exposed is in serious condition. |
Mr. Skirpal worked for Russian military intelligence in Moscow in the 1990s while also secretly supplying information to Britain’s MI6, in exchange for cash. He was arrested in Moscow in 2004 and convicted of treason, but settled in Britain in 2010 after winning release as part of a spy swap between Russia, Britain and... |
Russia has around 58 diplomats in London so the expulsion represents about 40 per cent of its contingent. It’s likely Russia will expel a similar number of British diplomats and it has threatened to kick out British media outlets as well if Britain takes action against RT, the Kremlin-run television station. |
There were expectations in Britain that Ms. May would go further and expel the Russian ambassador or target the assets of specific Russians in London. Britain kicked out 90 diplomats in 1971 for espionage but ejected just four in 2007 after blaming Russia for the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who d... |
European leaders voiced support but little more. A spokesman for the French government, Benjamin Griveaux, said on Wednesday that it would wait for “definitive conclusions” and firm evidence before deciding what action to take. |
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government took the British findings “very seriously” and she called for a “common European view” on how to respond. However, she also cautioned against going too far. “We must still talk responsibly with the Russians despite all differences of opinion,” she told German broadcas... |
EU leaders will meet next week and plan to discuss the poisoning. |
U.S. President Donald Trump told Ms. May on Tuesday that he was with Britain “all the way” in the case, but made no mention of taking any action. At the United Nations Security Council, which Britain is pushing to take up the issue to put more pressure on Moscow, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke out strongly against R... |
Bill Browder, a U.S.-born financier and anti-Putin campaigner who has led the international effort to sanction human-rights abusers worldwide, said Ms. May’s response to the attack was too weak. |
After stocks traded sharply lower, erasing the previous day's rally, it was high time for investors to protect their portfolios, the CNBC "Fast Money" traders said Thursday. |
Triogem Asset Management's Tim Seymour said it was important to know "what the beta-adjusted impact of a day like today is on your portfolio." |
"It means that if you have a stock that is going to move three times the amount the underlying market, you want to be hedging and thinking along those lines," he said. |
Seymour's top pick was Lorillard, among the strongest names in the industry. |
"What's actually happening is there's pricing power for all the core players now. It pays a very handsome dividend. These guys have diversified massively," he said. "They have significant stakes in other companies that are giving them dividends along the road." |
The major indices were down 2 percent on global concerns, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced its largest point loss of 2014. |
RiskReversal.com's Dan Nathan suggested looking for stocks that provide yield and no exposure to a strong U.S. dollar — AT&T. |
"It's got 5.4 percent dividend yield, no overseas exposure here. They're obviously putting together some other assets and that sort of thing," he said. "I think this is one where if you get the stock between $34 and $33 in the next couple of days, I think it's a good buy right here." |
Nathan said he had bought the stock recently. |
Brian Kelly of Brian Kelly Capital looked to bonds. |
"In this environment and in many, I use an approach where I balance the portfolio between bonds and equities and use leverage to up the bond part of it, particularly in this situation," he said, recommending the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond exchange-traded fund. |
"In and of itself, it actually has some very good things going on for it. You have the yield differential. The interest rate differentials from the rest of the world should bring money into TLT, into U.S. bonds," he said. "If the dollar goes higher and you start to see those flows into the U.S., that'll also help TLT. ... |
Private Advisor Group's Guy Adami said he was focusing on a different direction. |
"It's been famously said, 'The best defense is a good offense.' I think you've got to play offense here," he said. |
Palo Alto Networks was Adami's pick for its past performance and Symantec's announcement that it would split into two. |
"This Symantec news is going to put the spotlight fully on these cybersecurity names," he said. "This has been a good name to buy. I think it continues to be one." |
While 41 countries are battling it out for this year’s title, three Eurovision Song Contest champions will be appearing at a free concert on the Tel Aviv boardwalk for devoted fans. |
On May 16, the evening of the second semi-final of the Eurovision, Anne-Marie David, Loreen and Carola Häggkvist will perform in Tel Aviv. Between them, the three singers have won three Eurovisions and appeared at the international song contest six times. |
Loreen won the Eurovision for Sweden in 2012 with the song “Euphoria.” Carola appeared at the Eurovision representing Sweden a whopping three times: 1983, when she came in third; 1991, when she won with “Fångad av en Stormvind”; and 2006, when she finished in fifth place. |
And David won the competition for Luxembourg in 1973 with the song “Tu te reconnaîtras,” and then represented France at the 1979 Eurovision in Jerusalem, coming in third place. |
And come May, all three women will appear at the Tel Aviv Port with six dancers, a team of Israeli drag queens, and more. The evening will be co-hosted by Eurovision expert Alon Amir and Orna Datz – who appeared at the 1991 Eurovision alongside her then-husband, Moshe Datz, with the song “Kan,” and landed in third plac... |
The musical event is slated to begin at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 16 at the Tel Aviv Port, and will be followed by the live airing of the second semi-final on a giant screen, and a Eurovision dance party into the wee hours of the night. |
No tickets to the Eurovision itself? No problem. |
