Zaun, Glaus named in Mitchell Report "Gregg Zaun is a catcher who has played with seven teams in Major League Baseball since 1995, the Baltimore Orioles (parts of 2 seasons), Florida Marlins (parts of3 seasons), Texas Rangers (1 season), Kansas City Royals (2 seasons), Houston Astros (parts of2 seasons), Colorado Rockies (part of 1 season) and, most recently, the Toronto Blue Jays(4 seasons). [Former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk] Radomski believed that Jason Grimsley referred Zaun to him when they bothplayed for the Royals in 2001. Someone else (Radomski could not remember who) called and ordered steroids for Zaun. Although Radomski never spoke to Zaun about the transaction,Radomski received a check from Zaun for the steroids. Radomski produced that check, a copyof which is included in the Appendix and is shown below. Radomski confirmed the payment was for Deca-Durabolin and Winstrol. He also stated that hesent the drugs to Zaun at the Kansas City Royals clubhouse. The address for the Royals ballparkwas found in Radomski’s address book. Radomski’s statement that he sold steroids to Zaun is not the only allegation of use by Zaun. As discussed earlier in this report, in September 2002 Luis Perez, a bullpen catcherfor the Montreal Expos, was arrested for possession of a pound of marijuana. In January 2003,he was interviewed by investigators from the Commissioner’s Office. Perez told those investigators that he had personally supplied anabolic steroids to Zaun and seven other majorleague ball players Tony Muser, Kansas City’s former manager, recounted an incident in which Zaundenied steroid use. According to Muser, while he was managing the Royals he once discussed the dangers of performance enhancing substance use with Zaun while the two were sitting on the bench before a game. Specifically, Muser told Zaun the story of how Don Rowe, a pitchingcoach for Muser in the minor leagues, had used steroids and developed serious health problemsas a consequence. Muser explained to Zaun that he was not accusing him of steroid use, andZaun denied any such use. In order to provide Zaun with information about these allegations and to give himan opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined." "Days before its article about [Jay] Gibbons, Sports Illustrated reported that the name of Toronto Blue Jays infielder Troy Glaus also had been in Signature Pharmacy customerrecords. According to the article, between September 2003 and May 2004, Glaus reportedly purchased nandrolone and testosterone from the pharmacy through the New Hope Health Center, a California anti-aging clinic, using prescriptions written by Dr. Ramon Scruggs, a California physician who was suspended from practice as of March 2007 for issuing prescriptions over the internet. The drugs were shipped to Glaus at his home in California. Glaus declined to comment on these allegations. Glaus reportedly met with officials from the Commissioner’s Office in September 2007. On December 6, 2007, the Commissioner’s Office announced that there was insufficient evidence of a violation of the joint program in effect at the time of the conduct in question to warrant discipline of Glaus."

It stayed for about two years, but it's gone now. I miss that scent. Sweet boy I love you so much. Here's a few pictures of your birthday party.
WTI Oil Gains on Increase in Seaway Pipeline Flow West Texas Intermediate oil rose after operators said the flow of crude on the Seaway pipeline will climb and as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index surged to a five-year high. WTI increased 0.8 percent as Enterprise Products Partners LP said Seaway volumes will average 295,000 barrels a day between February and May, up from 180,000 barrels in January. Traders are counting on the pipeline to cut a historic supply glut at Cushing, Oklahoma, where Nymex futures are delivered. The premium of Brent oil traded in London to WTI slipped on Seaway and proposed changes to North Sea pricing formulas. “WTI is showing strength because we’re looking for Seaway to move over 100,000 barrels more oil in February compared with last month, which will ease the bottlenecks in the midcontinent,” said Jacob Correll, a Louisville, Kentucky-based analyst at Summit Energy Inc., which manages more than $20 billion in companies’ annual energy spending. “The strength in equity markets is spilling over into the crude market.” WTI futures for March delivery, which expire tomorrow, gained 80 cents to settle at $96.66 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The more-active April contract rose 69 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $97.10. The volume of all futures traded was 5.6 percent above the 100-day average at 3:25 p.m. Floor trading in New York was closed yesterday because of the Presidents Day holiday in the U.S. Yesterday’s electronic transactions will be booked with today’s trades for settlement. Brent oil for April settlement increased 14 cents to $117.52 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. Trading volume was 32 percent below the 100-day average. The front-month European benchmark grade tightened to a $20.42 premium to April WTI futures. The gap expanded to $23.18 on Feb. 8, the widest since Nov. 26. The spread had grown since Enterprise said Jan. 23 that a bottleneck at Seaway’s Jones Creek terminal in Texas will remain in place until the end of 2013, slowing the movement of oil. A combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has unlocked supplies trapped in shale formations, causing output to surge and boosting Cushing supplies to a record 51.9 million barrels in January, according to the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department’s statistical arm. They were at 50.2 million in the week ended Feb. 8. U.S. oil production rose 67,000 barrels a day to 7.06 million in the week ended Feb. 8, the most since December 1992, the EIA said Feb. 13. Seaway won’t reach its planned capacity given the anticipated mix of light and heavy crude oil, William Ordemann, senior vice president at Enterprise, said in Feb. 15 testimony before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Surging U.S. output has led to the development of rail routes to make up for the Seaway delays. “Seaway isn’t going to reach full capacity when people were expecting,” Bill O’Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis, which oversees $1.4 billion. “Other routes have been developed to make up for the delayed start of the line. When there’s an arbitrage this big, the market is going to find ways to profit from it.” Brent oil has dropped for four days. Platts announced changes to the pricing of the Ekofisk and Oseberg North Sea grades, two of the four components in the the Dated Brent marker used to price more than half the world’s oil. Ekofisk and Oseberg will be adjusted to account for their superior quality, Jorge Montepeque, global director of markets and pricing at the unit of McGraw-Hill Cos., said yesterday. The other two grades are Brent and Forties. “The Brent-WTI is coming in quite a bit,” said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based hedge fund that focuses on energy. “The Platts news about the Brent pricing structure, along with what we’ve heard from Shell and other majors, is putting downward pressure on Brent. This will effectively increase the supply of Brent.” Oil rebounded in the afternoon as the S&P 500 Index surged after investor confidence in Germany climbed to the highest level since April 2010. The S&P 500 gained 0.6 percent and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4 percent. Falling fuel prices are weighing on the crude market, said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. Gasoline futures dropped from the highest level in more than four months as surging pump prices raised concern that demand may ebb. “It looks like gasoline market has overreached,” Lynch said. “Retail prices have climbed a lot more than is justified given the less-than-robust economic recovery. The market is ready for a correction.” Gasoline for March delivery declined 1.33 cents, or 0.4 percent, to settle at $3.1212 a gallon on the Nymex. Futures touched $3.1639 in intraday trading on Feb. 15, the highest level since Sept. 28. The retail price for regular gasoline, averaged nationwide, rose 1.8 cents to $3.748 a gallon, the highest level since Oct. 16, AAA said today on its website. Prices have risen every day since Jan. 16, advancing 45.6 cents. Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 495,555 contracts as of 3:25 p.m. It totaled 696,266 contracts Feb. 15, 33 percent above the three-month average. Open interest was 1.66 million on Feb. 15, just short of the previous day’s record 1.67 million.

February 18 at 9:17 AM Wow, I knew about 9 things from todays list! haha by irvinehikerFebruary 18 at 10:27 AM Lots of interesting stuff today. I like the first and only snow fall in the Sahara Desert.
After watching both Sometimes in April and Hotel Rwanda (I actually likes Sometimes in April better, for those that haven't seen it) and getting that horrible feeling of "why the hell didn't And I was thinking how everyone agrees that this was a MAJOR misstep. Everyone knows that it was a MAJOR UN failure. Clinton and the Clintonistas admit that this was a shame of the Administration. You can't help but cry as you feel the pain of these people as the realization of abondomment sinks in... BUT, why are the Iraqis any different? Why agonize over the choice not to go in using force to stop the genocide of the Tutsies and rail against doing the same for the Shias? Were there not mass graves in Iraq? Did these people not live in abject fear for DECADES and not just months? Did Uday not deflower young school girls only to have their fathers and brothers stone them for no longer being virgins? Did Saddam lock up young children (some as young as two) in despicable prisons for infractions committed by their parents? What is the differnce? How do you make the distinction? How do we decide who deserves the saving grace of the West? Do you just ignore all the Iraqis that asked our troops "What took you so long" upon thier arrival? How do you justify the hypocracy?

Good morning! The house is so silent everyone is still in bed. My wrist is killing me. Tentinitus I am guessing. I should be walking on ye ol' happy treadmill. But no way. I have my wrist brace on, an ice cold seltzer at my side and I want nothing but to blog away! I love this time of the morning. I try to get up super early I need at least 1 hour alone to really be sane. Two hours is optimal but that is hardly ever realistic. Well the last 9 days has been crazy. Crazy good and just plain old crazy! The ice cream party that was last Friday was a success. Oh what stress that was. The night before I got 2 hours sleep. I need a root canal. Yep, at 3:00am there I was in shocking pain! I was mortified. What was I going to do? How could I make it through the day? But I made it with the help of a LOT of advil! With Advil, decorations and loads of ice cream toppings I make my way to the hotel. First I was shown this room, YIKES. Those are some super ugly tablecloths. I was in such shock I couldn't even ask to have them changed. I was then informed that the ceiling is damaged in the other room where the talent show was to happen. NO way! It turns out that the room AC was not working. But no one told me this. The woman did not seem to think I needed to know that bit of information. But I took the high road and thought what can I do. I mean I can't fix air conditioning. I can't make this room comfortable for 200 in less than 7 hours. So I went off to the "ice cream" room and worked some magic. I was able to get white tablecloths. That made the biggest difference. I also dimmed the lights so I didn't have to see the stains on the carpet. So around 2:00, 5 hours to party time I walked into the big room with no air. I had been avoiding this room like the plague. Well I hear a drip, drip and then came a gush of black water coming out of the ceiling. Crap. I am trying to stay calm, I want to call the conference chair my buddy Parrish or call Lois who has been the person who had made the arragements with the hotel. But really what are they going to do? Freak out and have twice the stress. They are at the conference space setting up. But never fear the wonderful workman came through! I even start thinking "next year I will do....". How quickly I can forget and forgive. By 7 the place is wonderful! We have air. I have my great friends ready to help. Lynn, Kirstin, Heidi and Tracy were in the ice cream room scooping away! What do you think of the cute aprons that I made! I really thought they were fun. They got to take them home with them, the least I could do to thank them! And then there is sweet and wonderful Kimmy! My friend that got me through it all. I was able to grip and complain and pass off work to. I could not have done it with out her. What did I do last year, I am crazy! But don't think the "fun" stopped there. Nope with a now throbbing tooth I go and meet everyone at the Barnes and Noble. Yup Harry Potter. I have to admit I am a HP geek! I am really glad I went even with my tooth aching and my extreme lack of sleep. Don and the kids stayed until 11:30. He said that they were unable to finish the treasure hunt because of the people that were lined up through out the store. The line snaked around every isle. Kimmy works in the Cafe there part time, she said that they were open until 1:30 am that is when the last person in line bought their HP book. That is some kind of crazy! Kimmy said that the Manager spent the night in the store after cleaning up all the decorations. They opened back up at 5:00 am. They sold out of all the HP 7 by lunch that Saturday. Here are some picture of the fun!
\|I know what you're thinking...who takes pictures of their groceries?!?!\| Ha! I do! I recently had a conversation with a friend who was complaining that some of these women find a sale cart and will literally push others out of the way. It happened to her at this very store! That is definitely NOT something I would do, never. I will share gracefully with others; however, if I get to the cart and no one else is around...it's mine for the taking. Hence, I got all of this for under $17.00! I know! There is a ton of stuff here. 4- 3# bag organic apples 4- 4-packs organic tomatoes 3- Organic strawberries 2- Organic raspberries 1- Organic lemons 1- Organic grapes 1- Organic basil 1- Carton organic eggs 1- Bag organic pasta 1- Box organic chocolate rice crispy bars Now the problem is...how are we going to eat all of this before it spoils? I have a solution! I am going to make and can, or make and freeze. First on the list, homemade ketchup! But that will be a whole other post. Have a fabulous last day of October!

By Robert Young – Exclusive to Moly Investing News The molybdenum oxide market appears to be undecided when one looks at the charts. The price has bounced from a high of $15.18 per pound in mid-February to a low of $14.25 per pound just a few days later. By March 6, the price seemed to be settling in the $14.50 per pound range.

Interesting...yes the scarlett milkweed has had a problem for ants here in my little patio garden. I usually watch where they go to see if there are aphids. Well, I've gotten rid of the aphids and the ants are still busy as ever. Turns out that the scarlett's flower is rather sweet. I don't know if it's just something it does naturally, or if it's because I spray mist water on them, but a little droplet collects on the top of the flowers, and I've tasted it and it is MIGHTY SWEET. Then I saw the ants there at the flower tops, so I'm fairly sure that's what they're interested in now. How can I keep ants off the plants without disturbing the plants and thus the cats/butterflies? NOTE: they are all on a patio in pots.
Buffett warns Congress Lawmakers face "biggest financial meltdown in American history" if they don't act. (New York) -- Legendary investor Warren Buffett warned Congressional leaders Saturday night of "the biggest financial meltdown in American history" if they did not act to secure the financial system. Buffett, by telephone, was consulted by lawmakers who were in marathon talks on Capitol Hill to forge a deal on the administration's $700 billion economic bailout plan, according to two sources. One lawmaker in the negotiations said that the participants called Warren Buffett to get his help in gauging potential market reaction. Congressional leaders said shortly after midnight Saturday that they had reached a tentative deal. Members of both parties and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were aiming to craft final legislation by Sunday evening -- in time for the start of financial markets around the world. Assuring markets, especially credit markets that lend to businesses and consumers as well as between banks, is seen as a vital part of getting a deal done quickly. The marathon negotiations on Saturday culminated several chaotic - and at times politically divisive - days on Capitol Hill as lawmakers and administration officials tried to quickly find common ground on a complicated proposal. Earlier in the week, Buffett also warned that the financial crisis is "everybody's problem," not just Wall Street's. The potential collapse of financial institutions would cause industry to grind to a halt, he told CNBC Wednesday, and could have "gummed up the economy." On Tuesday Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500). The cash gives one of the last-remaining Wall Street investment banks a much-need boost as credit has tightened. Buffett's move also helped shore up confidence in financial stocks. Buffett, whom Forbes magazine has placed at No. 2 on its 2008 list of richest Americans, is worth an estimated $50 billion. In 2006, he pledged to donate most of his fortune to charity. Calls to Berkshire Hathaway seeking comment from Buffett were not immediately returned.
There's a vast library of formal research and folksy advice on how to get ahead. Now there's an unfortunate new corollary to that field of study: how to fall behind. Nobody wants to, of course, but a brutal recession and hollow recovery have hammered away at Americans' living standards and pushed many people down the socioeconomic ladder. Real median income has fallen by more than 4 percent since 2007, to just under $50,000 per household. That means the typical family has less money, after inflation, to pay for food, healthcare, housing, cars, education, and everything else they need. Record numbers of Americans receive food stamps and live below the poverty line, a clear sign of downward mobility. Columnist David Brooks has identified a new social stratum: the formerly middle class. Arianna Huffington calls it "Third World America." The pathways to personal decline are familiar. The fastest way down is to lose your job, fall behind on your mortgage and other bills, face foreclosure, and declare bankruptcy. Many of the long-term unemployed—who currently number about 6.1 million Americans, nearly five times the level before the recession started—fit this profile. Another 1.2 million people have given up looking for work altogether, and many of them may join the underclass permanently. There are also less dramatic ways to fall behind. Many working people lose their grip on financial security simply by being in dead-end jobs with no obvious way to earn more money; their income stagnates but their bills keep rising. While a lost job may be the trigger that opens the economic trap door, some underlying causes make it more likely that a job or career setback will lead to a permanent decline in living standards. Here are three ways to depart the middle class: Let your skills become outdated. It's clearer than ever that education is what separates haves and have-nots. The unemployment rate for people with a college degree or higher, for example, is just 4.5 percent. For high school grads, it's 9.3 percent, and for those without a high-school diploma, it's 14.3 percent. It's also clear that a college or even advanced degree alone no longer guarantees the regular career advancement that it used to. Linda Rohman of Omaha has a law degree plus a Ph.D. in psychology, and she decided to go back to work as a lawyer a couple of years ago after taking time off to raise her two sons. But her network of contacts had gotten stale and nobody was hiring. So she took a variety of part-time jobs, brushing up on her typing skills to do freelance court reporting and using her academic background to tutor local kids. She now hopes that may lead to a teaching job at a community college. "You're told to check off all the boxes, do well in school, get a degree, and you'll be secure," she says. "That's not always true. "Coming to grips with that is hard, but you roll up your sleeves and do what's necessary." Some companies are hiring, but with nearly five applicants for every job opening, employers are clearly calling the shots these days, and the people they're interested in hiring often have more than one set of skills. "Everybody needs to look out for their own skill set," says Stanford University professor Robert Sutton, author of Good Boss, Bad Boss and the 2007 bestseller The No Asshole Rule. "You always need to ask what more you need to learn." Manual or skilled laborers, for example, might gain an edge by getting some management training. Salespeople can get ahead by developing expertise in online marketing or social media. Understanding how global supply chains work can benefit anybody hoping to work for a multinational company. Foreign-language skills help too. And everybody should do their best to keep up with technology and how it might apply to their own field. Yes, it can be exhausting. Formal education is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people. And many companies that used to offer training programs no longer do. Still, people who continually build up their skills are the ones getting raises and promotions and fresh job offers after being laid off. Some take classes at community colleges or enroll in local training programs. Some teach themselves, using resources they find at the library or on the Web. Networking helps, too. And people you meet while you're out learning sometimes have leads on jobs or get hired themselves, giving you a fresh, valuable connection. Take on too much debt. It's well-known that Americans binged on debt over the last two decades, to fund purchases of homes, cars, and everyday stuff they didn't quite have the income to cover. That has now created another huge wall separating consumers into "credit haves and have-nots," according to economist Cristian DeRitis of Moody's Analytics. Consumers who are able to manage debt will be the ones who qualify for loans in the future, which will allow them to purchase homes and cars and borrow if they hit a rough patch. As the economy gradually recovers and banks ease up on lending, those people will still have the financial tools to get ahead. But the growing group of consumers who have more debt than they can pay down will end up with defaults and tarnished credit, which will shut them off from normal lending. They'll struggle to enjoy the trappings of middle-class living and won't be able to borrow in a pinch. Instead, they'll have to muddle through on cash, or nothing. [See why the rich need the poor.] Taking on debt makes sense if it's in modest proportion to your income and is likely to produce some return, the way student loans finance an education. Mortgages still make sense, as long as the payments add up to no more than one-third of your monthly income and the loan isn't predicated on an unrealistic spike in the value of the property. But unnecessary debt that offers no return can be deadly in a slow-growing economy like the one we're in now, when incomes are flat and it's hard to earn your way out of hock. Debt can severely limit your flexibility, such as the ability to exploit a new opportunity that might have long-term promise but would entail a short-term pay cut. There are also many people who live in hard-hit areas of the country and probably need to move to places where there are more jobs, but can't because they owe too much on a home or don't have enough financial freedom. Too many Americans are now learning the hard way that instead of springboarding people to a better life, debt can be an anchor that drags them ever downward. Fall without a net. American society has a considerable safety net for those who hit hard times. Yet Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, and a raft of other government programs have not halted a broad decline in living standards over the last couple of years. The number of Americans living in poverty increased by 6.3 million between 2007 and 2009, to nearly 44 million. The number without health insurance rose by 5 million, to nearly 51 million. One reason people end up in desperate circumstances is that something unexpected happens, and there's no backup plan. And there's been a lot of that going around. Nearly two-thirds of all personal bankruptcies, for example, are due to costs associated with a severe medical problem, up from just 8 percent in 1981. It's obviously hard to anticipate unforeseen events, and prohibitively expensive to insure against every catastrophe. Yet Americans can at least anticipate some of the strains they'll face over the next several years and try to plan for them. The economy is likely to grow slowly for a good long while, with robust hiring not likely again until 2012 at the earliest. Government at every level is under financial pressure, and likely to offer less help, not more. At the same time, taxes are going to rise sooner or later to pay off massive federal deficits from the last 10 years and fill huge gaps in state and local budgets. Like it or not, Americans are going to have to rely less on government and corporations, while building their own safety nets based on community, family, and personal resources. Those who create their own cushion against adversity will get ahead, while those waiting for politicians and bureaucrats to solve their problems probably won't. Self-sufficiency, after all, has always been a key characteristic of the middle class. It still is.
As if job hunting wasn’t hard enough already, the Internet has added a few new twists to the process. Specifically, there are now more ways to shoot yourself in the foot. Beware of these digital faux pas: Not having an electronic version of your résumé. Savvy job hunters go a step further and put their résumés in PDF format. These look more professional and they can’t be altered. A silly E-mail address. If your E-mail is something like "ilovekittycats," you’ll appear unserious and unprofessional. ( Also, did you know some hiring managers say an AOL account makes you look out of touch? It’s true.) Not being on LinkedIn (or whatever networking sites relevant to your field), not keeping your profile current, and not having two or three good recommendations. Incriminating photos or information on Facebook/MySpace/etc. Guarantee: Potential employers are going to Google you. Clean up your online rep! Same goes for Twitter or your blog. Refrain from snarking about your current or former boss. Never write anything that makes you look dishonest, unintelligent, or crazy. Sending E-mail blasts. No one likes getting anonymous mass E-mails, including HR managers. Exclusively relying on online job-listings. Make the six-degrees-of-separation idea work for you and identify jobs before they’re advertised. And then be the only applicant. Meanwhile, the basics of job-hunting remain the same: network like mad, treat your job search like a job, always send a thank-you note. That’s the good news. Hang in there.

Israel, who is divorced, could have received permanent alimony but declined. She considered it, but when a cousin asked her, "Why would you want to be attached to an unhealthy relationship for the rest of your life," that question stuck with her—ultimately leading her to decline alimony and develop a plan for her to receive child support for her and her ex's son. Both Israel and Frisher know many people who are mired in the stresses of permanent alimony. Frisher tells of an IT guy who is behind in permanent alimony payments and wakes up every day wondering if this will be the day the sheriff will come knocking on his door. Israel knows a fellow Florida Alimony Reform Group member who, after discovering her husband having an affair with their nanny, is now paying permanent alimony to her perfectly healthy ex-husband—for the rest of their lives, if the law isn't fixed. Israel laments that she even had a friend who committed suicide over permanent alimony. "Some people are told that their marriage is ending, and then they feel like they're losing their family since they don't have access to their kids on a daily basis, and they see their finances wiped out, and then they're told that they have to pay their ex for the rest of their life," Israel says. "That can be too much to cope with." Frisher would like to see alimony in his state limited to half of the marriage. In effect with that law, for example, if someone was married for 18 years, the spouse with less ability to earn an income would have nine years of alimony—presumably ample time to go back to school or find a decent job. Permanent alimony kills the desire to work hard as well, according to Frisher, who offers an example of a dentist who is a member of the reform group and currently pays his ex-spouse $10,000 a month. He cites another member, a physician paying $6,000 a month. In both cases, if the dentist and physician were to expand their practices and make more money, the way the laws are written now means their exes could go to court and call for their alimony to be raised. The current law arguably creates a welfare-type state for the recipients, also killing their desire to work hard, opponents of permanent alimony charge, due to their receiving a de facto monthly annuity for the rest of their lives. "In some unusual cases, I can see where alimony should be made permanent, such as if a spouse is disabled," says Robin DesCamp, a permanent alimony reform activist in Portland, Oregon, "but there should be a formula, and I personally don't think you should have to give a person more than 25 percent of your income. You shouldn't have to give more than 50 percent of your income to a healthy person who can get a job at Starbucks, for crying out loud." Corrected on 01/24/2013: A previous version of this story misstated Alan Frisher's profession. He is a certified divorce financial analyst.
Whew! We’ve made it to the last week of Eating from the Pantry. Our stockpile is getting a little thin, but I’m every bit happy to have used up so many odds and ends. I’m also happy that my freezer is almost empty. It had been so full at the end of last month that things would sometimes fall out when you opened it up (wait, did I just admit that out loud on the internet?). This last week, we’re just aiming to make it through without mishap. So, in other words, I won’t be trying four experiments in one recipe. I will, however, be trying to use up the last little bits of everything so that we start February with a clean slate. And it’s a good thing, because FishMama and I are planning another big Freezer Cooking Day the first week in February. Truth be told, I’m also really looking forward to using coupons and hunting for deals again. It was nice to take a four-week break, but I have really missed it. Here’s our plan to use up the rest of the assortment of random ingredients in our house right now: Cereal x 3 (trying to use up some of our extra boxes of free or $0.50-$0.99 cereal!) Oatmeal and bananas Yogurt and granola Bread-machine Cinnamon Rolls (A reader sent me a winning recipe last week. I made it and we all loved it. I’ll be posting it later this week in case you’d like to try it, too!) Tuna Salad, apples Beans and Rice with cheese and sour cream, carrot sticks Chicken Nuggets, apples Fish Sticks, carrot sticks Baked potatoes with broccoli and sour cream Leftovers x 2 Broccoli Chicken Cheese Casserole, Cornbread Muffins, Grapefruit, Chocolate Pudding Barbecue Chicken Stirfry over rice with Chow Mein Noodles, Slab Apple Pie Chicken Tetrazinni, Mixed Green Salad, Broccoli, Homemade Bread Lasagna, homemade bread, steamed veggies Dinner at friends’ house Waffles, scrambled eggs, fruit Popcorn, Fruit, Cereal, Hot Cocoa How’s your Pantry Challenge going?

The old man rolled in unexpectedly and unannounced. Nobody knew he was coming â€” especially not the guest of honor. But, when Harmon Killebrew stepped off the Twins Caravan bus and into the home of Rick and Dori Fiedler of Rothsay, Minn., on Jan. 25, 2006, he lit up the room. There to visit young Cole Fiedler, aÂ Type I spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) sufferer, Killebrew was his affable self. He was everywhere, talking to everyone. He didnâ€™t seem 69 years old and he sure as heck didnâ€™t have the aura of one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived. â€œTo come to a home like this, I think, is a pretty special thing to do,â€ Killebrew said during me interview. That was the first and only time I got to meet and interview Killebrew, the Minnesota Twins great who announced Friday that he has chosen not to continue his fight with esophageal cancer and will seek hospice care. Through my years as a sports reporter, Iâ€™ve had the pleasure to meet and interview several sports celebrities. What will forever stick out in my mind about Killebrew was that he just didnâ€™t seem like all the rest. Interviewing Bud Grant was like asking questions of a brick wall. Tommy Lasorda was over the top; he even made fun of my last name. Darryl Strawberry was â€¦ odd to say the least. Killebrew just seemed like any other kindly old man youâ€™d find anywhere in America. When you met him, you almost wanted to say, â€˜This is guy who hit 573 homers and was a 13-time American League all-star? Youâ€™re kidding me, right?â€™ But, thatâ€™s what has made Killebrew great. Thatâ€™s why his presence in the game of baseball has lived on so long after his playing days were past him. Thatâ€™s why everyone in Twins Territory from the players to the fans, were broken up about Fridayâ€™s news that he had humbly and bravely resigned himself to the final days of his life. Truly, No. 3 was a rare one. He was the kind of professional athlete we donâ€™t have anymore. And while he isnâ€™t gone yet, he has given those who know his legacy reason to pause and remember just how great of a man he really was.
Both Grayland and Tokeland are pretty quiet settlements. It makes for nice little getaways, but the drawback is there aren’t a whole lot of restaurant options. Most days of the week you can nosh on the comestibles served up at Mutineer Restaurant (2120 Hwy. 105, Grayland, 360/267-2077, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Thurs.–Mon.), which serves all three meals. If you stop by for lunch or dinner, be sure to try some clam chowder. For those serious about their seafood, head to Nelson Crab, Inc. (3088 Kindred Ave., Tokeland, 360/267-2911, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily) for fresh-cooked crab and other seafood for picnics and cookouts.

He had never ever met that woman in his life, she was just some woman with a large ass going to pay her verizon bill. Who gives a serious fuck? It’s her body and I’m so sick of men trying to ridicule women that don’t fit their idea of what a woman should look like. And then his ex wife jumping in says that she’s going to raise her daughter to not be fat. Fuck you too concern troll. That woman might have a medical condition where she can’t control her weight OR BETTER YET MAYBE SHE WANTS TO BE FAT SO FUCK YOU! I’m not a “virtual party pooper” and a stranger’s body should not be the basis of your fucking party. Oh, and another thing, Albany Georgia is a fucking small city.

You’re a teacher, don’t be fucking surprised if that woman or a loved one of hers ends up in your community college ENGL 1101 class. I don’t smoke but I can’t say Marlboro either. Have you ever been weirded out but completely entranced? One of my old college professors just posted a picture of a woman from behind and said “This woman’s booty is so big that she has to lean against a pillar at Verizon to keep from falling backwards.” I wanna say something so bad that it’s not his damn business ugh it hurts.

Tuesday, July 24, 2012 So, on this homefront, I am starting to prepare for a new baby. I'm trying to get through our whole house and get rid of all that we don't need and organize all that we do. We also have our oldest girl going to a confirmation camp tomorrow which she will attend for 1 1/2 weeks. We will then be going there, to MI, to attend her confirmation activities for the weekend at the end of the camp. Then it's only probably about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 weeks after we get home that we will have a new baby! So exciting but also nervewracking cause I feel like there's no way I will have gotten through everything I need to for our upcoming school year and a new baby before she's born! Yikes!!! But if I don't, she will still come, we will still be in our glory having a new baby and all the rest will fall into place! Well, time to sign off. I am not getting much done sitting on here! :) Tuesday, March 13, 2012 Friday, March 9, 2012 I came home from work today...house was sparkling and a couple of the girls had combined their efforts and made cupcakes from scratch AND frosting for them from scratch....and decorated them for everyone! What a treat!!! They are so awesome anyway, but this is the icing on the cake, so to speak. :)
Nicky Hayden To Continue Testing At Mugello This Week Nicky Hayden is to spend Wednesday and Thursday testing the Ducati GP12 at Mugello. The American is to make up for the time he lost over the winter, after injuring himself first at Valencia, and then riding indoor flat track at home in Kentucky. Those injuries limited Hayden's time working on the set up of his GP12 at the Sepang tests, and so the American is to spend the next two days concentrating on making up for lost time. The real test work will be done by Ducati's official test rider Franco "Iron Frank" Battaini. The Italian veteran is evaluating new parts for the GP12, and once he has given them the seal of approval, they will be passed to Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi for further evaluation, before being used at a race weekend. Below is the official press release from Ducati: Nicky Hayden at Mugello to make up testing time lost due to injury On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Nicky Hayden will join the Ducati Test Team during the final two days of a three-day test at Mugello, with the goal of making up for time lost during the winter testing season due to injuries incurred at the 2011 Valencia Grand Prix and in a December training incident. This will give the American the opportunity to carry out setup tests that he wasn’t able to complete prior to the start of the 2012 season. He’ll join official test rider Franco Battaini, who is already on track today as he continues his development work on the GP12. As usual, these updates will be tried by Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden during future tests.
Wed, Dec 21, 2011 10:20 AM Let's celebrate; it's the holidays! A time with family and friends and lots of traditions, whether you identify most closely with the Christian traditions of Christmas, the Jewish Hanukkah rituals, Kwanzaa celebrations, the Pagan festivals surrounding the winter solstice or simply the commercialized characters that dominate children's stories. Candles are lit, songs are sung, presents are exchanged and there is a sense of magic and mystery that has pervaded this time of year through the millennium. Kids are bursting with energy and anticipation. Families look forward to their own unique traditions and reunions. Everyone seems to be infected with holiday cheer. I dream about past celebrations and the good times shared when everyone put aside differences and difficulties and just enjoyed each other's company. Life was simple and enjoyable and unchanging - At least that's how I remember In truth, every year is different. Things evolve and change, and so do people. Traditions, regardless of faith, ask us to reflect on our lives and be grateful for what we have. Holiday scriptures (as well as fables) teach us to show our appreciation, practice for forgiveness and have compassion for everyone - including the I never liked that character. Nor did I understand the benefit of forgiving such a mean-spirited individual, even if the Grinch was born with a heart "two sizes too small." But even the Grinch turns out to be just lonely and misinformed- thinking the Who's holiday merriment is only superficial, he "steals Christmas." Without gifts or decorations, the townspeople are forced to reconsider the meaning of Christmas, which the best gift of all. Lou Lou Who was one of the first adults in Whoville to understand, saying, "I'm glad he took our presents. You can't hurt Christmas, Mr. Mayor, because it isn't about the gifts or the contest or the fancy lights. That's what Cindy's been trying to tell everyone... and me. I don't need anything more for Christmas than this right here: my family." Cindy Lou had befriended the Grinch, despite his past. She helps the townspeople to forgive and accept the Grinch once he confesses to stealing their Christmas décor and Children's stories, like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, do a wonderful job illustrating the possibilities for good when one acts out of compassion and forgives those who have done wrong. Re-reading some of the classic stories this year, I also noticed how many of the stories tell of parents' fallibility. Lou Lou Who and the other parents of Whoville had gotten caught up in the details, trying to out-do their neighbors decorations and win contests. They needed the Grinch (and Cindy Lou) as much as he needed them to recognize the true meaning of Christmas. Misunderstanding (on both sides) was replaced with understanding, compassion and forgiveness. Are such lessons harder for adults to learn than for kids? It seemed to be the case in Whoville and I think there's some truth to that. Adults more often have the choice not to forgive wrongs or misjudgments, harboring ill feelings. Kids, on the other hand, are encouraged to apologize and work things out regardless of who initiated the conflict. So, in this most festive of season, as I reflect on compassion, forgiveness and trust, I seek to see the world as a child, enjoying new experiences, fresh and without judgment, and looking for the good in everyone - including the Grinches. It's easy to forget these lessons we learned as children, but the forgiveness the Who's bestowed upon the Grinch will remind me of the compassion necessary to restore the true meaning of the There are similar tales in all traditions. May all adults be as susceptible to these lessons as children this holiday season.
Date 9:The estate date I'm getting behind on these posts. :) Last weekend, I suggested to Littlestar that we might go to SF to see Cliff House or to the Bay Park area to wander around for a while. She pointed out that she can't really afford whole days now that she's back in school, and counter offered with an estate sale. She'd heard from m that she might find art books there, and she wanted to take a look. So, with (as it happens, incorrect) address in hand, we drove to Atherton. I haven't spent much time driving around Atherton, but the "leave now" feel of the estates is impressive. I suppose it's apropos that we went to an estate sale at a place with genuine estates (mixing the two meanings of the word). As we drove (and figured out our address was a little off), we compared notes. Littlestar liked the houses, but they felt a little on the big and isolated side for me. As much as I don't really interact with my neighbors, I think I like the idea. :) Of course, if I lived there, I wouldn't be obligated to have the giant fences some of these homes had. We found the correct estate sale site without much hassle. Inside, I wandered for a while, looking for art books and anything else of interest. The place had an impressive amount of space and clothing, but nothing that called out to me. Littlestar found a cute little vintage bag, then hit the art books hard. We ended up hauling off two big, very heavy boxes of books, covering topics from painting through photography. After the estate sale, we wanted to go for lunch, then to the library. Being near Menlo Park, we went for Bistro Vida, a really nice little place on Santa Cruz. Afterward, as we walked back up Santa Cruz, the Menlo Park Goodwill caught Littlestar's eye. I kind of wandered around and tried to offer helpful responses to the "what about this?" questions from Littlestar as she tried on different jackets. Whee. :) After that, we hit the Mountain View library, then called it a day.

LUCY IN THE SKYS WITH DIAMOND Boukadakis said he had been playing around with a "Chuck Norris of love" type character when the idea of Phillips popped in his head. "Lou brings such a unique mythology along with him as an actor; he's played so many iconic roles across such a wide range of ethnicities. Adding a tongue-and-check twist to his persona gave us an opportunity to create some amazing comedic moments," said Boukadakis. Phillips' father was an American of Scots-Irish and one-quarter Native American (Cherokee) descent, and his mother is of Filipino Chinese descent. Boukadakis added, "The man just personifies 'cool' plus, I think somewhere along the way he discovered the fountain of youth and won't tell anyone about it. The guy seriously doesn't age." Jordan thinks people are going to be blown away when they see Phillips' performance, particularly his loyal following. "Lou is absolutely hilarious in this. During filming, he had me in stitches. You don't expect an actor of his caliber to be this funny and take it to the places he was willing to go and we went to some pretty outlandish places. I wouldn't be surprised if this does for him what the Harold and Kumar franchise did for Neil Patrick Harris. Move over NPH, there's a new sheriff in town and his name is LDP." "Lou Diamond Phillips is a legend," Jordan and Boukadakis agree. "And the legend lives!"

The Bowery Boys run into some trouble when Hall gets a toothache and is suddenly able to predict the future. He starts working a carnival sideshow and meets up with Napier, a mad scientist who wants to transplant Hall's mind into that of a monster apeman. How will anyone know the difference? Another in the insipid "Bowery Boys" series. The monster makeup was done by Pierce, who apparently had fallen from the grace he had attained when he created the great monsters for Universal Studios.
Bodybuilding and class consciousness are at the center of this moody, insightful, and frequently funny film based on a novel by Charles Gaines and directed by Bob Rafelson (FIVE EASY PIECES). Set in Birmingham, Alabama, it features Jeff Bridges as Craig Blake, the scion of a wealthy Mountain Brook family who becomes involved in a real estate deal masterminded by Jabo (Joe Spinell). One of the properties blocking the development project is a health club, which Craig visits in the hope of finding a way to persuade its owner, Thor Erickson (wonderfully played by R.G. Armstrong), to sell. In the process, however, Craig immerses himself in the world of bodybuilding, bec...

Gays Oppose the Death Penalty Earlier today in Paris the leaders of the International Day Against Homophobia on May 17 issued a crucial statement against the death penalty. IDAHO was founded in 2005 to unite gays around the globe in solidarity calling for the respect of the human rights, dignity and respect of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex peoples. IDAHO's anti-death penalty statement has come into existence because of several factors. First, gays in Uganda face the passage and enactment of a draconian "kill the homosexuals" piece of legislation, and the voices of all global gay organizations, including IDAHO's, need to speak out against the Ugandan legislation. Second, after I learned that a gay Russian leader who is on the board of directors of IDAHO, speaking for himself and not the group, said he supported the death penalty, the IDAHO board received a request from me asking that the organization clearly and unequivocally declare their official position opposing state-sanctioned executions. There were other peace and justice factors driving the IDAHO leaders to write and distribute this position paper, at this time. I offer applause and say thanks, merci, gracias, спасибо, danke, and all the other ways of expressing gratitude to those leaders. Speaking as an American gay human rights activist, I would like to see U.S. groups - Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, et al. - and our community newspapers, organizers and bloggers all take the IDAHO declaration and either endorse it in full, or proclaim their own similar statements calling for an end to capital punishment. Here is the statement from Paris: Official IDAHO Statement on Homophobia, Transphobia and the Death Penalty The IDAHO Committee, as a Human Rights organization, intrinsically subscribes to the universal principles of the UN founding Declaration of 1945 which, by its third article, declares the right to life as the most fundamental of all. One of the first initiatives of the IDAHO Committee was the campaign for the universal decriminalization of homosexuality back in 2005. On this occasion, the IDAHO Committee has received the support of a large part of the global movement against death penalty, including the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty. This link between the fight against capital punishment and the fight against the criminalization of homosexuality is organic: beyond the 'logical' alliance between the two causes, they are bound by the very principle of the indivisibility of Human Rights. When a society gives itself the right to kill, it quite naturally extends it to the right not to respect other fundamental rights, including all rights considered 'lesser', like privacy, dignity, freedom of expression, etc. Seven (7) countries in the world today still have death penalty in their books for the "crime" of homosexuality. People who feel same-sex attractions of who vary from allowed gender norms are, at least symbolically, affected by the death penalty, which endorses the principle of the right of 'life and death' of a society over its citizens. It enshrines a ‘right to kill’. Small wonder then that the countries in which capital punishment is legitimate are amongst those in which homicide rates are the strongest. Because the IDAHO Committee has been fighting since its origin for the respect of Human Rights of sexual and gender minorities, Because the IDAHO Committee believes in the indivisibility of human rights: The IDAHO Committee opposes categorically any form of death penalty in all circumstances and calls upon States and institutions to abolish all forms of capital punishment and instead to make every effort to ensure the right to life of all citizens, including all the men and women who are victims of assassinations, extrajudicial executions and other forms of violence and abuse, which the existence of the death penalty implicitly supports.

But You Got Them J’s… Why? Sneaker heads o’ plenty are currently losing their minds over the brand new Air Jordan release - the Jordan Retro 11 Low White Varsity. It’s a very clean shoe and I’m sure the price will financially send some owners into bankruptcy. I, as a basketball fan, get the aura of the Air Jordan brand when Air Jordan was playing but I can’t understand why people who don’t remember his Airness from his playing days would want to wear the sneaker of the guy who currently owns the worst team in the NBA. Note that when you wear Jordan’s now you are currently wearing the shoe of a charcoal colored old black man with a Hitler mustache in those God-awful Hanes commercials. Is this what people are paying $400 to a thousand to support? A black man in first class who weird white men want to show their underwear too?! I’m a basketball fan and Michael Jordan, the player, will forever be the greatest I’ve ever seen but I’m not paying $400 for the shoes of the guy that drafted Adam Morrison, yo! I’m sorry. Thanks to NBATV and Youtube I can relive the greatness of Michael Jordan anytime I want. I don’t have to wear some low version of the Space Jam shoe to connect with the great #23. Nike’s slick and is remixing the Jordan more times than Puffy has Biggies Juicy verse. Let’s keep our heads about us people. Of course, if your money is right and you can swing paying $400 to a thousand on a sneaker of a man who can be seen sitting at the end of the Bobcats bench aging with each loss? So be it. However, there’s another retro sneaker you can cop for like $60 and can find at virtually any sneaker store. It’s call the Converse black with white toe aka the Bill Russell. That’s the shoe of a man with six more championships than Jordan and $60 bucks won’t have you in the poor house “rockin’ them J’s though”
Love homemade bread, but simply no time to make it? In less than an hour you can go from a box to warm fresh bread by Fleischmann’s Simply Homemade Bread! All of the ingredients come in the box! This is the Fleischmann’s Simply Homemade Country White Bread. Simply mix the yeast package, sugar, and water and let sit 3 minutes. Mix in the bread mix, and if desired add cheese, herbs, whatever you wish. I added 8 ounces of shredded white extra sharp cheddar. Shape into loaf, place on greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 25 minutes. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes and this is what you get, warm, cheddary, fresh bread! Let cool about 8 minutes before slicing. These photos really don't do the bread justice...still blogging by smart phone! The bread really isn't this yellow. Warm and cheesy, think of all of the options with different add-ins that could be used! At Under $3 a box, this bread is really worth it! Perfect for the holidays or everyday. Why buy bread when it is this simple to make? Fleischmann’s Simply Homemade also supplied me with a box of the Multi-Grain. I am going to try baking that without any add-ins which sounds perfect to slather with peanut butter!

OK - amazon.de is not having their database under control lately - they are fairly unable to update book descriptions and authors, and the statistics are going up and down. However, we got word from our publisher that the Windows Server 2003 - Die Expertentipps book is selling very well, and yesterday we had place 8th in the top IT-Bestsellers. We also had some comments. Fairly positive about the content, however a couple typos. While I'm really sorry about this, I'm also a bit concerned since we figured that many of those went in after our last review. However - the publisher is taking care of this and nobody blaming us (so far). The planning of the Directory Experts Conference started and I've found something very funny related to it today. If you just pretend to be a Active Directory-Expert (and can't make it to DEC), you are able to get your own Rubber Chicken (actually a cheap copy) at the animal toys department of some stores. I found the rubber chicken on the shelves of a German department store today, so you are free to pretend being at DEC . Careful - real Directory Experts know the difference.
Gasquet, Paire in all-French final Third-seeded Richard Gasquet beat veteran Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 Saturday to set up an all-French Open Sud de France final against eighth-seeded Benoit Paire, who overcame countryman Michael Llodra 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. Gasquet has been in good form this year with a victory at Doha and will try for his ninth career title against Paire, who is aiming for his first. Gasquet had eight aces and broke Nieminen's serve five times overall. Paire, who saved a match point in his second-round win against Steve Darcis earlier this week, had 17 aces to Llodra's eight as he fought back to reach his second career final. He lost his previous one on outdoor clay at Belgrade last year.

I've been keeping myself pretty busy for the last few weeks but unfortunately for you guys my laser cutter has now developed a fault. For a long time now my laser has been playing up, it appears to be a problem with data corruption between my PC and the laser. Files can cut fine one day but download it again and the laser fails (in the on state) and draws a line right across the piece I'm working on. Well in between those failures the machine has developed a second fault. The insulating shield on the laser tube has now failed. Large sparks were jumping from the tube straight to the laser case. Obviously this is not a good thing and the laser stopped cutting anyway so I investigated and found the smouldering lump of rubber pictured about. I don't know why it did this, but I turned the tube around in an effect to keep running. That worked for a few hours but then it started sparking from the same place. It's not all bad news HPC were coming down to visit my on Wednesday anyway to help with the first problem, will have to wait and see what they say, until then the laser cutter is out of action. I did manage to get dozens of kits made up in time for my workshop this week, and I have managed to complete all the prototypes for a further 3 projects, but as they're all wedding related you're going to have to wait until the wedding happens before I post those up.
Right up close and all over the place at the same time- hard to pull off. Many voices build a solid circular structure. This is a masterpiece, that is, 117 minutes contains many themes and plot lines. The key word is harmony. I would say dark harmony.

I'm saying it because inaugurations are increasingly pompous, gaudy, ritualistic, overdone celebrations of political victory, two and a half months after the original victory speeches. The president is a public servant, not royalty. So, here are the top 7 reasons why you shouldn't watch, let alone attend a presidential inauguration: - No matter what the newly elected/relected president says, the inauguration speech will be of no consequence to your life. Really. - They are full of mindless platitudes and cliches, or if not, cheap political attacks rhetorically dressed as visionary leadership. - The State of the Union address is only a short time after the inauguration, is slightly more informative, is more relevant to current issues, and is usually much more entertaining. - Does the president really need any more celebratory attention? He (or she) is the most covered person in media throughout the world; watching the inauguration only encourages such royalty-like status. - Despite the sensationalism, it is not that culturally significant. Want to be a part of history? Well try doing something that doesn't happen every 4 years. - If you must, you can read the transcript and/or watch news coverage of the inauguration later, at your convenience, which won't take up half the day. - Unless you just woke up from a deep coma, watching the inauguration will not make you a better citizen, nor will it make you more politically knowledgable. Inauguration speeches tell you virtually nothing about the president's policies, but on the off chance it does, it will be horrendously one-sided (see #2). So there you have it. Inaugurations are a waste of time, and in my opinion are a disservice to our collective poltical knowledge and heritage. IF you really want to be politically knowlegeable, study the political philosophies of both parties, avoid the speeches aimed at the general population and watch the speeches aimed at the candidate's base: they will tell you much more about a candidate's position. But most importantly, figure out your own political philosophy. Not just a vague idea of what sounds good to you, but a guiding philosopy that makes sense, that you fundamentally agree with. Once you know that, the rest will follow. Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism (these two are closely related)
Unpublishing \| Online Ordering: UnpublishArrest.Com or call Toll Free 1-800-810-3965 A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge in Virginia has order the arrest of Marcus Vick. He was scheduled to appear in court on April 9, 2013 to explain why he missed a February court hearing. The missed court appearance involves a civil case in which he allegedly signed a $40,000 promissory note in 2008.

KELSEY TUCKER!! Who won the first entry! JULIA HUBBARD who entered with this photo of her delicious creation. You two are our Yogurtland Giveaway Winners! Each of you will win a $20 gift card to Yogurtland in Orem. I am so excited for you two! I just went there tonight...I really am obsessed! Email me at megolina21 at gmail.com and we'll get you all set up with your winnings! Now to the losers... As it comes to be that time of year when we know we may have to break that swimsuit out of the back of the closet many people realize they want to lose a few. I have received a few emails from readers who are really wanting to drop those last five, ten, or twenty pounds. While those last few pounds can be SUPER frustrating they don't have to be final. You most definitely CAN drop the final few. It's all about what your dedication level is. 1) Commit yourself. First, you have to ask yourself...Do I really want this? Does eating dessert every night mean more to me than reaching my goal? Maybe it does. If you aren't going to be a happy person without your daily bag of Cheetos or your In N' Out Lunch, than you might just need to learn to be happy with where you're at. On the other hand...if you REALLY want a change. You need to change something. Remember if you always do what you've always done, you'll always be what you've always been. Pretty simple actually. You need to find that place inside of you where reaching your goals (long term happiness) means more to you than that piece of pizza, or going for seconds when you're really not that hungry (short term happiness.) 2) Cut the crap. Literally get rid of the crap food your eating. Go to a whole foods approach, meaning all of the foods you are eating are as close to their natural form as possible. Lean protein, LOTS of fresh produce, whole grains, and healthy fats. Cut out the sugar. Cut out the processed foods. Cut out the crap. Remember that it's not easy to burn calories...think of the time and energy spent in your workouts. Its WAY too easy to consume calories. You can ruin the work of an hour long workout in five minutes flat...or less...scary. 3) Snack smart not sneakily. It is VERY easy to grab a handful of cereal here, a few of your kids goldfish there, and whatever else you might grab as you pass through the kitchen. Make every meal you eat planned, not accidental. Aim to eat 5 smaller meals throughout the day. Include protein with each of these meals with other smart choices...what I'm trying to say is don't waste your calories. Just because nobody saw you grab it doesn't mean it won't count. It always counts. 4) Keep a food journal. This is hands down the most successful tool for all of my clients. It makes you accountable. Write your food down. Don't cheat. You are only cheating yourself out of success. 5) Make your workouts a priority. It is very easy to find other things to do instead of getting a work out in. When you are looking to lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit. Keeping track of your calories and adding in exercise is the best way to do this. High intensity circuit workouts are the BOMB when it comes to fat loss. They are great as far as maximum calorie burn for your workout time. 6) Stop drinking your calories. I've said it once. I'll say it eight hundred more times. It's a waste. 7) Stop putting it off. I've heard it three billion trillion times. After this weekend I will start. I'll wait until next week...next month...next year. Just start now. You might slip up, you might have bad days, but keep restarting. Make the next hour better, the next meal, the next ten minutes. Just keep restarting. You'll become stronger. You will improve your will power. You will accomplish your goals. Weight loss and accomplishing your goals is possible. I see positive results every day. I also see people who don't believe in themselves enough to give reaching their goals a real shot. You are capable of doing amazing things. Push yourself. Achieve what you dream of. Do you have any methods to sticking to your goals when motivational times get tough?

Steve Zuckerman is a composer for television and movies, a songwriter, and a singer who wrote songs for at least three animated Sesame Street inserts: "I in the Sky," "Lowercase N," and "Imagination Rain." In an “Ask the A.V. Club” column on the A.V. Club Web site of The Onion, Zuckerman recalled the experience of creating the songs: \|“\|\| It was just me doing the harmony and the melody—I think it was using a 4-track and bouncing tracks back and forth. That's pretty much how I did all of them. I remember recording them around 1970 at Valentine Recording Studios (in the San Fernando Valley) for Fred Calvert Productions. I was just starting out (I had just turned 20) in my musical career as the studio's music director, and along with various other submitters, we proposed segments to CTW based on their rather detailed and voluminous source and research materials. In each of these segments, the songs were created first. The first segment (which I also performed and wrote) is still my personal favorite—"Imagination Rain," which ran for about 15 or 20 years.

No: MM 122892 - Video of the 2nd Anniversary Memorial Service to commemorate the 2009 Victorian bushfires. This service was held on Sunday 6th February 2011 at Zinc Space in Federation Square, Melbourne. The service was organised by staff of the Victorian Bushfires Reconstruction and Recovery Commission (VBRRA), with input from Community Recovery Committees and the Bereaved Committee Advisory Group. The inter-faith service was led by retired Victoria Police Chaplain, Reverend Jim Pilmer, with the theme of 'Remember, Reflect, Hope'. The service was attended by about 400 people including community representatives, members of the bereaved community, dignitaries and the general public. Poems and musical performances were presented by community members from fire-affected areas, many of these were composed as a result of their experience of the 2009 bushfires. Those attending the service were invited to participate in a number of symbolic rituals. People attending were invited to place yellow ribbons with messages on the 'Tree of Remembrance' in recognition of the loss experienced following the fires and to represent the communities impacted by the fires. The video was produced by the Victorian Bushfires Reconstruction and Recovery Authority (VBRRA). - DVD inside plastic and paper envelope. The DVD is printed with the title and illustrated with wattle and a yellow ribbon. - Statement Of Significance: - The 2nd Anniversary Memorial Service commemorating the 2009 Victorian Bushfires encouraged people to actively participate in symbolic rituals during the service - to light a candle, leave a message, write on a stone. These items give form to the grief and the many ways in which symbols and rituals were used to mark this anniversary. The 2nd anniversary memorial service also shows the significant ways in which the impact of the disaster has rippled out into wider circles beyond those who were directly impacted. Where the 1st anniversary service was concerned with commemorating the loss of 173 people, the 2nd anniversary service paid particular attention to the impact of the disaster on locations, towns and broader communities, including the bereaved. - Acquisition Information: - Commission & Subsequent Transfer from Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority (VBRRA), 2011 \|Dimensions:\|\|124 mm (Width), 124 mm (Length)\| \|Tagged with:\|\|death mourning, public ceremonies, bushfires, memorials, public events, black saturday bushfires 2009, rituals beliefs\| \|Themes this item is part of:\|\|Public Life & Institutions Collection, Sustainable Futures Collection, Victorian Bushfires Collection\| \|Secondary Classification:\|\|Natural Disasters\| \|Inscriptions:\|\|DVD title: 'remember / reflect / hope / A Service to Remember / the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Two years on'\| \|Format:\|\|Digital Video Disc: Colour; DVD\| \|Producer:\|\|Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority (VBRRA), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 Feb 2011 Also Organiser of Event \|Place & Date Recorded:\|\|Federation Square Zinc Space, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 Feb 2011\| \|Person Depicted:\|\|Reverend Jim Pilmer, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 Feb 2011\| \|Person Depicted:\|\|Governor-General Quentin Bryce, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 Feb 2011\|

Hot Springs don’t want to be your Facebook friend. They don’t care about what haircut you have. They don’t care about your blog. They simply want to freak you out. more and more bands attempting to placate and sedate by mimicking current trends, Hot Springs actually dare to bring something new to the table. Leaving dance punk and current saveurs du jour in the dust, Hot Springs have completely reinvented themselves with their first full length: Volcano. The album dishes out a combo of perfect pop that sinks its fangs in, rock that doesn’t stoop to knuckle draggers, ballads that are fluff free, throws a flurry of psychedelia into the mix (guaranteed to leave marks) and, yes – you can even dance to it. Lead-off single, “Headrush”, holds their contemporaries at arms-length with a hard-rocking seventies vibe, hinting at Heart, with the piss and vinegar of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, still managing to distance themselves from the current crop of bands hogging up the blogosphere, discovering Gang of Four for the first time. All of the songs hang off the lyrical pearls and inventive vocal workout that come straight from the gut of songstress Giselle Webber. Tracks, like “Tiny Islands”, bring the new-school pscych of Black Mountain to mind, with a dark and brooding epic that pushes way past the pop-esque two and half minute mark. Other songs like “Pink Money” and “Cellophane” hit like a mitt full of nickels, perfectly combining rock muscle with pure-pop song craft, while the more genteel side of the band shears through the most callous hearts on tracks like “Fog and the Horn”, that will have your goose bumps standing at attention. Along with Montreal acts like The Besnard Lakes and Malajube, Hot Springs are among the most exciting bands to spring from the second wave of the Montreal music explosion, with Volcano quickly earmarked as one of the best records of 2007. The Hot Springs' calling card was their 2005 independently-released pop-laden e.p., Rock Partouze (which translates to “Rock Orgy”), yet the band would go through many changes before putting together the gems that would make up their first full length. Original drummer Karine Lauzon put down her sticks to dedicate herself to motherhood and turned over her chair to long-time Montreal scenester and drummer, Anne Gauthier. She and bassist Frédéric Sauvé clicked immediately, bringing more ballast to their blast, while guitarist Rémy Nadeau-Aubin layered the songs with new flight. This would only be the beginning of their metamorphosis, as Webber began exploring her darker side with compositions that went far beyond the pop lexicon - letting the songs blow up to epic proportions with their trademark pop still in tow, but with far more punch this time around. Produced by Jonathan Trimble Cummins (Bionic, Tricky Woo) and engineered by The Besnard Lakes’ Jace Lasek (Wolf Parade, Land of Talk), Hot Springs hunkered down in Lasek’s Breakglass studios, with additional tracking done at The Pines studio, engineered by David Bryant (godspeed! You black Emperor, Jackie O Motherfucker). They set out to make an eclectic record that was as equally light as it is dark, epic as it is concise and diabolical as it is divine. Not an easy task for sure, as most bands these days tend to just ape their singles over a record, but Hot Springs are not exactly your average band. The final tracking and mixing session of the record was completed outside of Montreal in the rural environs of Farnham, Québec in an ex-church/Masonic temple (La Petite Église), under the watchful eye of Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Final Fantasy, The Unicorns). album is one thing, but Hot Springs prove that it was hardly just smoke and mirrors and are indeed worth their salt in the live setting. If you take a moment to google their name, you will be treated to a flurry of people frothing at the mouth over their live performance. With no shows similar to another (some sober, some drunk), the common thread is that the band is always able to garner true brilliance, where everything threatens to fall off the tracks before miraculously hugging the guardrail at the last minute. A recent scribe from Exclaim magazine, who witnessed the band at 2007’s NXNE festival in Toronto was moved to write “Easily delivering the festival’s most impact and giving me a new favorite rock act, the band’s consummate showmanship and ferocious energy was unparalleled”. Hot Springs live provoke and poke, while Webber's on-stage persona is out to taste blood. The whirling dervish of Webber completely commands the stage, pouring fire into her words while beating out chords on her guitar as if they had just been caught breaking into her house. Volcano refuses to just sleep walk through the lackadaisical hit parade or the fickle fashionista underground. The Hot Springs' agenda is simple: they want to deliver what is desperately missing in today’s music industry – they want revolution and they won’t rest until they get it.
WOODPIGEON'S 'THUMBTACKS + GLUE' by Mary Christa O'Keefe Hand axes. Watts Towers. Cornell’s boxes. Sirk’s painterly cathartic tearjerkers. Rimbaud’s Bohemian Life. Queen’s 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. To all quixotic human enterprises built for no purpose but purpose itself, things put together with emotional spittle and creational sweat that bellow or whisper “I’m here; we’re here” into the Void, add the latest effort from the For almost a decade and across five albums, Mark Hamilton’s principal engine of invention has been Woodpigeon. Mark once told me that he named his band Woodpigeon because, “I thought it was the most beautiful word I’d ever heard”. And Woodpigeon became a search for replicating that thrill of elemental, existential beauty in a sonic context, a dowsing rod that dipped over splendid choices as he laboured over chords and words. Yes, laboured. Don’t be fooled by the effortless majesty of Thumbtacks + Glue. We’ll never really know long Mark spent sculpting this record, how he sung it into being from nothingness into its substantial somethingness. How he wove together voices and notes and rhythms and obsessive little instrumental and production thingies that make no sense at the time except to the craftsman to carve out these hauntingly gorgeous aural vistas. How he’s the most patient impatient creator I’ve ever known. How he digs and digs with a song until he hits bedrock, then he scratches at it some more, until his fingers are bleeding and sore, until he finds an even more subterranean place for the song to go. It’s impossible to know; each album is its own rabbit’s hole for the creator. Who can fathom how far into their own personal underworld an artist must descend to give us under an hour of our listening lives? And who can calculate how much that hour of art means to the receiver who responds to If Thumbtacks + Glue is fundamentally about construction – the hope that building something with all your heart and fingerprints matters to someone, somewhere – it’s because it’s fundamentally about bonds: the ones that hold us to each other, all the promises we make to honour the primal structures of human connection, our shared oversoul. We’ll hold it together. We’ll build something together. Connectivity is supposedly the name of the 21st century game, which may be why a misfit Alberta boy heard a call of kinship that took him to another continent, miles away from the big cerulean Prairie sky, its palette of neon yellow canola and bleached wheat and sage, and its endless sprawl of big box stores and samey suburban split-levels. He dreamt of this other world, a wildly romantic Bohemia, and having reached its old European stomping grounds and finding only remnants, decided to rebuild. You don’t have to escape reality so much as be your own avatar to make it happen. You are your own Second Life. The result of this sojourn is Thumbtacks + Glue. So sweet; so aching. Every note and word feels inevitable, yet takes you completely by surprise. I dare you to hear the pivot in the middle of ‘Sufferin’ Suckatash’ when the song billows from a Spanish-inflected pop song into a knee-bendingly elating statement of love and not be moved. Darkly glossy female voices – heavenly choir, muses, or Greek chorus? – raise the stakes of a childhood game of selection spilled into adulthood in ‘Red Rover, Red Rover’. The title track is a bristling lullaby that recapitulates the kind of Everyperson ponderings, dark and light, of countless sleepless nights. Even the spaces on the record are eloquent, pauses for feeling to The melodic madness of it all! Oh, the fear and the glory in declaring yourself; be it to the one you love or an unknown listener you hope recognizes you, and recognizes himself or herself in you and what you make. I am here, we are all here! And, further, these exact words of Mark’s from the album’s opener: “You are the reason I sing.”

Born: 1960 Primary Instrument: Saxophone Saxophonist, composer and author Walt Weiskopf began his New York career performing with the Buddy Rich Big Band in 1981 at the age of 21. Since then, he has made an impressive mark as both a leader and sideman with 12 critically-acclaimed CDs and countless sideman credits, including performing and recording with Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, Donald Fagen and Steve Smith's Jazz Legacy. A dynamic player with enormous technical prowess, Walt is equally well-regarded as a composer and his CDs contain predominantly original work. His five books on advanced topics in improvisation are among the most respected in the field. He lives in New Jersey and is an Associate Professor at the Eastman School of Music. In 1983, Walt began a fourteen-year association with jazz pianist and arranger Toshiko Akiyoshi, making seven recordings and touring the United States, Japan and Europe several times with her orchestra. During this time, he began recording his own material. Tenor saxophonist, Weiskopf was born in Augusta, Georgia and grew up in Syracuse, New York. An Eastman alumnus, earning a bachelor of music degree in 1980, Weiskopf joined the Eastman faculty in fall 2002. While a student at Eastman, he studied saxophone with Ramon Ricker who, 10 years later, teamed up with Weiskopf to write Coltrane: A Player's Guide to His Harmony and The Augmented Scale in Jazz (both are published by Jamey Aebersold). Downbeat's Trent Kynaston called Coltrane the best treatise I have seen on the study of Coltrane substitutions. Walt completed two more books; Intervalic Improvisation in 1994 and Around the Horn in 2000. In the fall of 1980 Weiskopf moved to New York City, and joined the Buddy Rich band just six months later at the age of 21. Weiskopf's association with Toshiko Akiyoshi began in 1983, when Akiyoshi relocated to New York from Los Angeles. During his tenure with the Akiyoshi Band, Weiskopf began working with and writing for his own quartet. He recorded his first CD, Exact Science for Iris Records in 1989. Since then Walt has released eleven more recordings, most of them for the Dutch independent jazz label Criss Cross Jazz. Weiskopf studied under clarinetist Leon Russianoff in 1988-89, and earned a master of arts degree in clarinet performance from Queens College of the City University of New York. He has performed with the American Ballet Theatre Orchestra, the American Composer's Orchestra, and the Concordia Chamber Orchestra. In 1994 he performed the Aaron Copland Concerto for Clarinet as guest soloist with the Gotham Chamber Orchestra in New York City. Weiskopf received performance grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1989, 1991, and 1994 to fund live performances of his music in New York City. Walt was awarded a New Works: Creation and Presentation grant from Chamber Music America/Doris Duke in 2003.
Primary Instrument: Saxophone Joe Giardullo is Brooklyn-born, and raised on the South Shore of Long Island, New York. He grew up on R&B music, playing tenor sax in club and regional bands and moved north to the Woodstock area in the 1960's. It was a rich environment for hearing and playing original music, and it was here that he got his first soprano saxophone. The local scene included great players like saxophonist Gene Dinwiddie (Paul Butterfield Blues Band), multi-instrumentalist Howard Johnson (Archie Shepp Band), and a whole segment of the original ESP Records lineup! Joe played all kinds of music -improvised, jazz, rock, blues, club date, weddings-you name it. But things grew stale and in 1977, he packed up and moved to Amsterdam, Holland. Amsterdam was alive with great music--Burton Greene, Han Bennink, Charles Tyler, Philip Wilson and a thriving local scene as well. It was a good season to be living and working there. After a short period based in Amsterdam, Joe returned to live 100 miles north of New York where, after a few years, he slipped into a 10 year hiatus from public performance, although he continued to play in private.Then he met up with saxophonist/trumpeter Joe McPhee one night at a club. That meeting in 1991 marked the beginning of a continuing collaboration. And it has also reintroduced audiences in the US, Canada and Europe to Giardullo's music. Since then, Joe has been active in the US and Europe with so many of the most regarded musicians: Joe McPhee, Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening Band, Bill Dixon, Warren Smith, Borah Bergman, Marilyn Crispell, Susan Alcorn, Thomas Buckner, Steve Lacy, Milford Graves, Weave Soundpainting Orchestra, Carlos Zingaro, Carlos Santos, Vitor Joaquim, Roy Campbell, Jackson Krall, Ken Filiano, Full Metal Revolutionary Jazz Ensemble, Lisbon Improvisational Players, and Bobby Bradford. Joe's music has been commissioned by The Oliveros Foundation , by the Udu Drum Division of LP Percussion, and by Amnesty International Woodstock. Joe's newest disc is RED MOROCCO on the Rogue Art label from Paris, music for large ensemble.

Instead of growing up, they’ve opted to grow in their vulgar joke per show ratio, but for those of us who have traded in skateboard t-shirts for suits, their latest show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was a nice throwback to the inner child in all of us that still giggles at a good yo’ mama joke.
11/10 Spring Training The Cubs have yet to announce their 2011 Spring Training schedule, but the Brewers did, and they will open the Cactus League season Feb. 28 with a game in Mesa, Ariz. The Cubs and Brewers also will square off March 2 in Maryvale. The Indians also have released their schedule, and they will play the Cubs March 10 in Mesa and March 28 in Goodyear. We expect to get Cubs full schedule soon. – Carrie Muskat
My mother uses bean sprouts in her rice paper rolls, salads, noodle broths, stir fries and savoury crepes. Like Metamucil, it keeps her regular and she’ll happily crunch through kilos of the stuff. Unfortunately, I’m not so keen on bean sprouts, which means that a packet from the supermarket usually goes slimy before I have the chance to finish it off. Bean-sprout shelf-life can be extended by blanching them (yuck)* or turning them into Korean kongnamul banchan (nom). Unlike its southern neighbours, Korea has a temperate climate, hence its people are very good at preserving the glut of the warmer months for the leaner periods. Bean sprouts can be cultivated at any time of year, which is probably why they became the staple for starving Korean soldiers during the early Goryeo period (another random fact from Wikipedia), but being thrifty becomes a habit I guess. Until recently, I was making things up as I went along with this dish, blanching bean sprouts and then drizzling them in soy sauce and sesame oil, but according to Joanne Choi’s Korean mum, the more authentic (and tasty) version steams the sprouts in the tiniest amount of water. In my rendition, I’ve cut down on the water and substituted salt with a drizzle of soy sauce: * ‘Freeze sprouts for the longest storage. Wash sprouts…Then heat one layer at a time in steam for three minutes. Cool right away in icy water and drain. Put the sprouts into plastic containers and seal.’ (via eHow)
~THE HILLS HAVE EYES~ whois down 4 this 1 a mutilicious multi-day free-for-all to celebrate another year down the tubes. basswarps, tweakybeats, audio artifacts and non-stop muzakill attrocities from the stables of the mutantwaveformz freakfarm. BRING YOUR TOYZ, MUSICZ & HAPPY FACEZ! from Sydney/Central Coast/Newcastle - Hop onto the freeway, and head North until you get to the New England/Pacific Hwy junction at Maitland (Newy folk may wanna take an appropriate shortcut) - this is the roundabout just after the stripes on the freeway… you’ll know it when you see it! - Keep following the New England Hwy (STRAIGHT AHEAD) towards Musswellbrook/Tamworth - The cheapest fuel is usually at Willow Tree Truck Stop- you get a discount for paying cash AND you have a VERY DECENT CHANCE of winning a free burger or pie or something if you use their ATM to get money out- check your ATM receipt! - When you’ve passed the village of Wallabadah (they’ll prolly have signs everywhere announcing the New Years Day Races) get ready for the next turn-off- you’ll be warned by the “Fossickers Way” and “Nundle” signs. - Take the Nundle turn-off on your RIGHT (Tourist Drive 23) and ignore the distance signs… I dunno what the deal is there!!! - Follow this road all the way (usually about 40mins, I don’t know the distance) to the T-intersection. - Turn RIGHT at the T-intersection, towards Nundle. Follow signs to Nundle- the entrance to the town varies depending on the weather, but is always well signposted to the main crossroads. - When you get to the Nundle crossroads (Post Office on left, Pub on right) turn LEFT. - Immediately after leaving the town turn RIGHT towards Hanging Rock, Sheba Dams and Barry. - Follow this all the way up the hill (it’s steep and windy in bits, so take care!) through the village of Hanging Rock, past Sheba Dams and up to the sign marked “Morrison’s Gap Rd” and “Arc-en-Ciel Trout Farm” (approx. 6kms past Sheba Dams). - Turn RIGHT onto Morrison’s Gap Rd. You will pass over 3 cattle grids, and then come to a fork in the road, with some mailboxes and a sign pointing to the trout farm. GO STRAIGHT, NOT TO THE TROUT FARM! - You will pass over another cattle grid and leave the open fields for rainforest. Follow this all the way ’til you see evidence of Yowies. - 2WDs are prolly best to park to the left of the road, 4WDs can take the right-hand turn if they like… it’s only 25m, so it’s hardly worth it, though! - Follow the New England Hwy South toward Tamworth. - In Nemingah, turn LEFT onto Nundle Rd (Right if you’re coming from Tamworth) and follow the signs to Dungowan. - At the Dungowan servo/shop, turn RIGHT at the roundabout, and follow toward Woolomin/Nundle. - DIRECTIONS ARE THE SAME FROM NUNDLE CROSSROADS

8 May – Veteran Singaporean actor and comedian Mark Lee has nothing but praises for his Malaysian co-stars regarding their brilliant acting in the upcoming horror comedy "Ghost Buddies", which also put him under a lot of pressure during filming. "Malaysia has great acting talents everywhere. After shooting the film for 3 to 4 days, I started getting all tensed up for my role because all my co-stars performed so well. They are so creative; they knew how to find ideas to illustrate their characters! I need to work really hard to match up with them," said Lee. "Ghost Buddies" is a local production presented by Double Vision Pictures and Astro Shaw, and lead actor Lee stars in it alongside well-known Hong Kong actress Maggie Shiu Mei Kei, Yao Wen Long, Lenny Ooi, Wee Kheng Ming, Lim Ching Miao and Chow Kee Moo. The film tells a humorous story of Ah Hui (Lee), a mortuary makeup artiste who tries to win over his dream valentine, Pearl's heart (Maggie) with the help of three ghosts. Lee was glad to work with Maggie as he claimed that the foreign actress was not as egoistical as he thought she would be. "Maggie is very nice and friendly despite her popularity. I had a hard time working with a foreign star in the past. He's from Taiwan and I was not pleased with his attitude, but I won't mention his name." On the other hand, fans may be able to catch the stars again should they provide their utmost support to the movie as Maggie revealed that she would definitely return for the sequel of "Ghost Buddies" if the movie reaches RM3 million in the local box office. "Ghost Buddies" will be released in cinemas in Malaysia on 10 May.

I feel the same way about Spidey. After seeing TDKR it looks really lame. That movie was awesome!!! I loved it, the last act was breathtaking. I love it just as much as TDK. How did you enjoy it, dude? Thanks for the blog comment, I'm so glad Breaking Bad is back. The first two episodes are great! I liked all of the acting a lot and it had a few clever writing moments and cool shots but I though they butchered the character and didn't make any improvements from the other films. I'm sticking with the Raimiverse. Whay did you think? Yes, I cannot wait for TDK Rises. I can watch that trailer on loop until it comes out, haha. I feel confident it will kick ass. I love the Bourne series, and even though Damon is out I'm defenitely looking forward to Legacy. Even though a lot of The Hobbit hype has fizzled out, I am counting down until it's released. I think they're alright. I just don't like how the academy ignores genre films so often. I mean Rise of the Apes and Attack the Block were great films period. But I am glad to see Nick Nolte get nominated for Warrior he was freakin awesome! Yep, I've seen em all. I had a few issues with some of the characters but the last episode was especially kick ass! (directed by a breaking bad crewman, makes sense) I think the series can only get better from here. What did you think?

Here's how she would cast film adaptations of Knock Off and Knock 'em Dead: Okay, I’ll admit it, I ALWAYS have an actor in mind when I craft a character. Not because I’m thinking any of my books will make it to film or television, but because I’m a visual learner and use photographs of celebrities – and non-celebs – when I’m creating my character binder. FYI – soap opera sites are great for this because they have photos of people ranging in age from birth to near death. MySpace and Facebook opened up a whole new world from me to cull photos.Visit Rhonda Pellero's website and her blog; learn more about the Finley Anderson Tanner books. Enough about that - who should play Finley? Me, – but only if we did “Finley Anderson Tanner – the Overweight, Wrinkled Midlife Years.” Since it can’t be me, I’d pick Emily Proctor. She’s the right height and body type and she manages to blend sexy and smart effortlessly. The thing about Finley is at first glance, people only see her as beautiful. The beautiful is the cocoon that camouflages her intelligence. When Emily Proctor was on The West Wing (my all time fave show), the Sam Seaborn character (played by Rob Lowe) upon seeing her all dressed up for a function said, “You’d make a good dog break his leash.” Even though that line of dialogue was spoken years ago, it stayed with me as a great jumping off point for developing a character. So when Finley was being born and that phrase suddenly popped into my head, I immediately thought of Emily Proctor as my visual Finley. I do visuals for all my characters, not just the major ones. This actually serves two purposes. First and foremost, it provides continuity when writing a continuing character. As I began Knock 'em Dead, book 2 in the series, I just flipped open my character binder and there was Emily staring back at me. I did change her eye color and Finley does not have a southern accent, so she really is the visual. The second purpose it serves is during the process is that I can imagine Emily Proctor walking through each scene, so it gives me a physicality to build on when I’m actually writing. Finley’s voice would be played by different actresses. When I hear her in my head, her voice is one part Valerie Harper (minus the accent) for humor and one-liners; one part Allison Janney for intelligence and reasoning skills; and one part Reese Witherspoon (minus the accent) for that hint of innocence Finley has when it comes to tackling new situations. Notice there’s a lot of minus the accent going on here. Finley doesn’t have any discernable accent. For Liam I’d chose television actor Eddie Cahill. He had me at jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes. He has that just-below-the-surface smoldering sensuality that Liam brings to the Finley mysteries. No swagger, not even a hint that he knows he’s attractive. That kind of confidence is what I wanted for Liam and I think Eddie would be a perfect Liam – I wouldn’t even need voiceovers . Knock 'em Dead So I suppose if I had the job of casting the movie, I’d need some sort of character Mr. Potatohead™ casting ability. Either that or a good voice coach. Hope you enjoy Read an excerpt from Knock Off and an excerpt from Knock 'em Dead.

Even with a first-year offensive coordinator and new playbook, University of Iowa tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz is as comfortable as he has ever been as a Hawkeye. "I learned more this spring than I did my first year and a half," said Fiedorowicz, a 6-foot-7 junior. "I was still struggling with the (old) offense, but now I am more comfortable with what coach (Greg) Davis is trying to do. "I wouldn't say I am 100 percent comfortable, but I feel good about it." Fiedorowicz's newfound comfort level is the result of Davis' new playbook that lays out in detail what the tight end needs to do on every play. "In the old offense it would tell the play, but it wouldn't tell us what the tight end was doing," he said. "I would have to remember what the tight end was supposed to do. Now it is telling me what I am doing, so it's a lot easier for us." A comfortable Fiedorowicz is a good thing for the Hawkeyes. He began to produce after moving into the starting lineup against No. 13 Michigan on Nov. 5. Fiedorowicz made 13 catches for 126 yards with three touchdowns over the final five games; he had 16 receptions for 167 yards during the course of the season. Senior quarterback James Vandenberg saw Fiedorowicz emergence in 2011. He knows the kind of weapon he gives the offense. "He is a great pass-catcher and weapon out there," said Vandenberg. "He's one of those guys where even when you try to guard him, he's open because he is so big. He does a good job handling his body, and he's going to be a guy that makes a lot of catches for us." Fiedorowicz knows the expectations are bigger for him now that he is an upperclassman, and he is eager to take on a bigger leadership role within the team. "Everything changes a little bit," he said. "Everyone looks up to me a little bit more, and I have to take on a heavier role of being a leader. "Whether it is in the weight room, being out on the field throwing it around or being in the front of the line showing the guys what to do is a big thing. Doing things right for the other guys is big." While Fiedorowicz is atop the tight end depth chart, there will be a lot of talent and depth at the position in 2012. Senior Zach Derby, sophomore Ray Hamilton and redshirt freshmen Jake Duzey and Henry Krieger-Coble give the team a variety of options. "We have a good group this year with Zach, Ray, Duzey and Henry... everyone is getting better and catching the ball," said Fiedorowicz. "Everyone is working hard this summer, so we'll see when the time comes. "I am excited for the year. It's about two months away, and it's going to be a good year." Eight Iowa track and field student-athletes earned All-America recognition. Former Hawkeye divers Veronica Rydze and Deidre Freeman will compete at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials on June 17-24.

After following this page for a while, I can now look at any picture, and imagine three or four different, horrible things that might be going on.Thank you very much.I am reminded of John Brunner's:RUMOR Believe all you hear.Your world may not be a better one than the blocks live in, but it will be a sight more vivid. My all time favorite. Oh dear.But who is that giant watching from the bushes? Well that made my choke on my coffee this morning. Excellent! I'm inclined to agree with sarathena - superb! This blog is genius. Brilliant idea, brilliantly executed. However, I feel it could use a few words of introduction to the concept. Eg, where exactly do these pictures come from?? Vulgar and childish!! Definitely one of the best!!! Is Gramps a cross dresser as well as a letch? I like the fact that she wears an apron to do the 'job', also that she is so damned cheerful that it's a job well-done! Just from experience with this web site, I don't think those are giant's eyes. I think they are shackles. I admire the humor and the BALLS to actually write that down. More power to you! it';s the voyeaur owl that gets me. or is this Charlotte Perkins Gilman's famous Yellow Wallpaper? But she still has to go through the effort of dressing in the maid costume, accessorized with the feather duster. Some things can just never be simple. this is one of your most disgusting ones yet! Why, thank you! I'm new to the blog, just 'stumbled' onto it.Of all the one's I've read, this is the most awesome. Post a Comment

\|Thursday Techniques: Hay Bale Gardening\| \|Written by Heleigh Bostwick Thursday, 24 January 2013\| Hay bale vegetable gardening is a technique that was developed by a vegetable crop specialist at the University of Florida. It may sound odd but vegetable gardening in hay bales really works. Wheat straw bales are better than hay because they tend to have fewer weed seeds than hay bales and alfalfa and mixed grass bales also work well. Squash, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers are the vegetables of choice to grow in hay bales but other vegetables will grow as well including lettuce, green beans, and cabbage. Avoid root crops and corn because it grows too tall and will topple over. Hay and straw bales that have begun to decompose make the best growing medium. To do this, either purchase them in the fall and leave them outside over the winter or, if you want to use them for the current growing season, then soak the bales with water a couple of times a day for 3 days. Apply fertilizer to the top of the bale for 3 or 4 days. Let the bales sit for a day and then dig a hole in the bale. Place some topsoil in the hole, and then plant your vegetables.

As a longtime fan, I was beyond excited to speak with them and take a look at their American Glamour collection for HSN at their showroom. The designers known for their ultra glamorous gowns, jewelry and shoes talked about everything from what they love designing the most to what they'd like to explore in the future. As far as their favorite pieces to design, the jewelry takes the title and don't be surprised to see a men's line in the works. The American Glamour collection features apparel, accessories, and jewelry at much more affordable prices from $39 to $499, but with the same Badgley Mischka aesthetic. The luxurious leather handbags and bold costume jewelry were just some of my favorites from the collection. Be sure to catch Mark and James on HSN March 17 at 12pm EST and at 12am-2am, 10am, 11am, 3pm-5pm, 7-8pm, and 10pm-12am March 18.
Well hello there fellow tornado survivors. How do you do? For those of you who don’t live in the Midwest and didn’t weather the 120-tornado storm we saw over the weekend, that’s what kind of crazy things we deal with here in the plains. So not to brag, but, we’re kinda hardcore. (remember when I saw one last year, too? Yeah, seriously rad) A tornado even swept right up through Wichita where I live, narrowly missing my neighborhood by a mere 3 miles. THREE miles. And although minimal damage was done – thank God – I technically did survive it. So, in a way, you’re talking to kind of a big deal right now. Not a big deal, but also, kind of a big deal. One of the things I did on Survivor Sunday was bake. After being cooped up in the house all Saturday night at the potential threat of a 3/4 mile wide twister devastating my town, I was dying to get out and get some fresh air. Or, get to baking. You know, same thing. You’re a foodie – you get it. And bake I did. I made homemade vanilla ice cream. And ice cream tartelettes. And cheerio breakfast bars. And, these cookies – which are probably the best things I’ve made in a while seeing that I’ve eaten 5 today alone. What you should know about these here cookies is that they’re healthy. They contain no butter, minimal sugar, and are entirely vegan. And, they are seriously, stinking, ridiculously delicious. I was inspired to try these cookies after seeing versions of them pop up all over Pinterest claiming to be the ultimate breakfast cookie with no butter, no sugar, and practically no sin. A cookie with no sin? Bless me, I gotta have it. Like a true baker I tested the batter with a healthy finger full and a lick. Don’t worry ma – no eggs. At first, I was a little skeptical that they wouldn’t bind, wouldn’t rise, wouldn’t taste like a cookie. But after 15 minutes in the oven these ugly ducklings turned into beautiful swans, a.k.a. the best dang healthy cookie I’ve ever had. Here’s the deal. The main ingredients are simple: banana, maple syrup, peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla, oats, flour and chocolate chips. That’s about it! Does it get more simple than that? Or more healthy when it comes to dessert? I think not, and not. Their texture is moist and a little dense. The banana and peanut butter work well together but neither are overpowering. The oats add a nice healthy, texture-y touch. With each bite, they remind me of a thick slice of chocolate chip banana bread. And the chocolate chips are where it’s at. I mean seriously. Chocolate lovers unite! Sorry to hold you to the last minute, but you’ll find the recipe over at Diets In Review today. And while you’re there, feel free to lurk around and check out my some of my articles. That’s what I would do if I were you and bored at work. See, I’m looking out for you. What are friends for!?
Top 10 Things To Do With Kids in Barcelona The Author: David Brydon blogs at Barcelona, Spain. News, insights and tips. The Catalan Capital of Barcelona is a popular destination for families and the city has plenty to offer the kids. Restaurants are open long into the night and it’s common to see Spanish children out later than other European cities. Here are my top ten attractions for children, but in no particular order. Barcelona has 9 UNESCO World heritage sites, and there’s no reason for the kids to miss out on the culture. Gaudi’s fantastic creation is something out of a fairytale, with Hansel and Gretel houses, ornamental dragons, and leafy plazas to take a rest. It is still one of the best things to do in the city for free, and my tip is to take the metro to Vallcarca and then the escalators up to the back of the park – then you’ll see it all downhill at a stroll (it’s on a pretty steep incline). No visit to the city is complete without a stroll down this famous boulevard. Starting at Plaça Catalunya and stretching down to the port, children and adults alike are treated to flower sellers, animal stalls, painters, artists, human statues and street performers. A must for everyone. The City Beaches. Perhaps an obvious one, but Barcelona has a fairly long stretch of coastline, and for city beaches, they’re not bad at all. The Olympic Village beaches are perhaps a little more child-friendly, with a spider’s web climbing frames and a playground. Barceloneta is the old fisherman’s quarters and has a great beach too. As always, please remember to protect the kids with sun block when visiting the beaches. The city is flanked by two mountains, and Montjüic is the one looking over the sea. There are two cable car rides from Montjüic – one which crosses the sea over to Barceloneta and the beach, and the second which transports you up to the old castle. Both offer great views of the city sprawling below and are a sure-fire hit with the kids. This is a fantastic aquarium. Boasting Europe’s largest sea tunnel – like a perspex walkway where the sharks, rays and moonfish swim above you – and a day’s worth of tanks, special exhibitions, marine history and some really funny penguins! Tibidabo Amusement park This park is a bit of a trek, but for older kids wanting a bit of fun, there is an amusement park at the summit. Many of the attractions are very tame, but there’s a relatively new rollercoaster which darts through the surrounding countryside. Another great place to escape the hustle and bustle with the youngsters. The “garden of Barcelona” not only houses the city zoo, but also has rowing boats, fountains and plazas. Numerous play areas and a great life-size replica of a Mammoth beacon the little ones – kids love to sit on the trunk! – and there’s always plenty of space for a relaxing picnic. Magic Fountains Montjüic This would probably make it into my top ten list for anyone, and is a great spectacle. Located at Plaça Espanya, this nightly show features a water fountain which dances to lights and music. It’s much better later in the summer, when it’s completely dark, and I’m aware that might be tough for readers with really little ones, but I had to include it! The Imax Cinema Adjacent to the Aquarium, and with the rise and rise of 3D movies like Avatar, you won’t disappoint if you suggest taking the kids here. The shows are mostly combination tickets, with one imax screening and then a 3D one, for example. Choose the shows wisely, as any audio will likely be in Catalan. Tourist Bus Routes This final suggestion is not purely for the kids, but rather an inclusion of something that makes life easier visiting the city with kids, and that’s the tourist bus (or Bus Turistic). This is a fun and easy way to see the city on the hop-on hop-off bus. Staff can help families on and off with pushchairs and strollers. The routes are color coded (Red and Blue are the best, don’t bother with the green!), and they stop at all the major attractions. Barcelona’s metro is fantastic, but little legs can rest on the bus while still enjoying the sights of the city. - The Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Barcelona - Exploring Barcelona’s Architecture and Gaudi’s Genius - Barcelona: City of Parks, Parrots, and Picasso - Renting An Apartment in Barcelona - 10 of the Best Hotels in Barcelona - Beautiful Barcelona: City of Modernism - 20 Great Things To Do in Barcelona - The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Barcelona - Historical Ruins – Near Barcelona Gems From Ancient Rome

Updated Oct 17, 2011 - 6:34 pm Would you wear ... …a black wedding dress? Vera Wang, the queen of wedding couture, unveiled her new Fall 2012 bridal collection, which includes gorgeous and intricate black and nude gowns. I absolutely loved her designs, which felt more haute couture than traditional bridal. You could wear these gowns on the red carpet or to a black-tie affair instead of a wedding. And if they were in white - I'd definitely wear a few of them. More and more brides are moving away from the poufy white dresses with the sparkly tiaras to more chic, sophisticated gowns that are uniquely different from those you typically walking down the aisle. But are black gowns too extreme? What about nude gowns? Both would certainly translate to other events and wouldn't need to be stored like a traditional white wedding dress. For me, I'm still on the white wedding dress bandwagon…but it's certainly refreshing to see something different for a change.
