Houston's new app a boon for residents
Starting Tuesday, you can report public works problems
A pesky pothole in the street is a pain in the exhaust pipe for most Houstonians, but now getting help is just a click away on your SmartPhone.
The brand-new Houston 311 app will allow residents to file a complaint and then track its progress. The program officially goes live Tuesday, city officials said.
Here's how the 311 app works, city spokesman Chris Newport said:
"Say you see a pothole on your street. Before you even leave for work you can walk over, launch the app and type in 'pothole,' " he said. "You have the option of taking a picture, punching in the address and answering two other questions before you hit send."
The "really cool thing" about the new app, Newport said, is that the requests aren't sent to a generic email inbox at the city. Instead, the SmartPhone application "creates a work order that our public works department adds to their list of things to do."
'Just the beginning'
Houston city officials last August updated the 311 non-emergency website, allowing residents to report a variety of complaints on everything from garbage pickup problems to traffic signal maintenance to water line breaks. The city's hotline last year also expanded to 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week service. As of Jan. 13, it received an average of 5,311 calls a day for service, Newport said.
"This is just the beginning," Newport said of the expanded options. "We're not just launching this app and we're done," he said. The city plans to update on a regular basis.
Already, an interactive map has been added to the city's 311 website where users can click on an address for updates on their service requests.
Elsewhere, the 311 app already is up and running across the nation, including such cities as: Sacramento, New York City, Minneapolis and Philadelphia.
When Philadelphia city officials launched the 311 app last September, it became the 53rd-most-downloaded app at the iTunes Store, said Sheryl Johnson, operations manager of the Philadelphia 311 Contact Center.
The new service especially was useful last October during Hurricane Sandy, she said.
"It allowed us to communicate with our customers via the app. We were able to push (send) out safety information and where they could go for help," Johnson said. "We could also let them know how the storm was progressing, and if we (city crews) were on the streets and what we were doing."

CABS book(s) of the month- February
Beginning with the opening line 'A tear is better than a word', 'Das Tränenmeer' ('The Sea of tears') and 'Dars Wähnen' ('The Delusion') by Dieter Roth are three poetic artists' books accessible from our CABS collection. The item is classed under two entries in our online catalogue but consists of three volumes, known as bands.
'Das Tränenmeer' was published in 1973 and collected together 248 aphorisms, or small one-line poems, which originally appeared from May 1971 in a local advertising bulletin. Band one solely shows these aphorisms, one per page, whilst Band two contain sketches and corrections, and Band three contains sketches, poems and prose. Band three is entitled 'Dars Wähnen' ('The Delusion') but sub-headed 'Tränenmeer 3'.
Presented to the library by L. Pedersen in 1988, the books themselves are notable for their sewn pages and illustrations. The book was originally published in editions of 200 per volume. The library's copy of volume 1 is numbered 108, and volume 2 is number 29.Roth's Das Wähnen was also presented to the library by Pedersen in 1988, number 21 of another edition of 200 and is signed by the artist opposite the page numbered 262.
Dieter Roth (1930-1988) was a Swiss-German artist, also known as Dieter Rot and Diter Rot. His writing has been described as important as his art, with his poetry inspiring illustrations and so on in a cyclical nature.
As well as artists' books, Roth was known for his printmaking and sculpture.
Throughout his life he continued to create art in various mediums.
Well known for his artists books', the library unfortunately (or fortunately, given the tendency food has for rotting) does not hold a copy of the 1972 book Literaturwurst, which consisted of 'various periodicals chopped up, mixed with lard and spices and stuffed into a sausage casing.'
We do hold a copy of the artists' book "Tentative little recipe" which he produced with a group of students while he was teaching at the Watford School of Art. Other books by and about Dieter Roth can be found on the library's open shelves.

MARIETTA, Ga. - The West Coast Mariners, a Seattle Mariners scout team loaded with future Division I and professional baseball talent for the 2015 class, came to the 2013 16u WWBA National Championship in Georgia from a completely opposite part of the country.
Guys from as far away as Yelm, Washington have traveled over 2,600 miles to play in a tournament they have heard so much about to show the rest of the country what kind of talent the Northwest has to offer.
"It was actually the suggestion of a lot of coaches," said West Coast coach Jeff Sakamoto. "They say, 'You gotta go down to East Cobb. You gotta go down and play at the Perfect Game stuff.'"
"(There are) a lot of good teams down here, so it's good to go against some of the better competition from around the U.S. and we're showing what we can do," said infielder Parker Kelly.
The team was pieced together with the help and recommendations from a lot of different people in the Northwest and the observations of coach Sakamoto, who is a Seattle Mariners scout in the Portland, Oregon area.
"It's guys that I've seen over the years and it's guys that have been recommended by Pac-12 coaches," coach Sakamoto said. "It's a lot of guys that we, as the Mariners, have our eyes on in the future and a lot of the Northwest schools have looked at as the guys they are starting to recruit."
The roster is made up mostly of players from Washington and Oregon, with two coming from Idaho and their shortstop from Las Vegas, Nevada.
"One of the guys from Oregon State told 'em about me and Jeff called me and I jumped right on it," said the Las Vegas shortstop, Cadyn Grenier. "Playing with some of these guys from Oregon and Washington has been a blast."
"The Northwest has a lot of talent and people don't really realize that, but I think that since we put the team together we are really bonding," said outfielder Colton Sakamoto, a player Perfect Game has been watching with great interest.
The Mariners scout team is used to traveling to tournaments on the West Coast, but this is the first time they've made a trip to the Atlantic.
"This is the first time we've done this with the Perfect Game deal," said coach Sakamoto. "This is the first time we've crossed the country and done something like this. This memory's gonna last for a lifetime. We don't travel a whole lot where we're from. To get out here and play and compete with guys and just see where we're at and how we can improve our game is really cool."
The team has played well through five tournament games so far, with a record of 2-2-1. Just yesterday the Mariners had a convincing 8-0 win over Team DeMarini GA 15u.
"We're meshing really well. We got a lot of great guys, a lot of guys that offer different things, a lot of two-way guys," said Kelly. "Our pitching and defense is really carrying us right now."
"This is a really well put together team," added Grenier.
"This is our first tournament together," Colton Sakamoto said. "As soon as we get the bats going I think that's where we'll really bond together as a team."
The makeup of this team is very unique: they are mainly Northwest kids who don't get to play nearly as much baseball as most other teams and have never played ball on this side of the country, their shortstop was recruited to play from Las Vegas, and they have two Oregon State commits and two University of Washington commits.
Anders Green and Alex O'Rourke are both committed to play baseball at Oregon State, a school that made it to Omaha, Nebraska for the fifth time this year and won back-to-back national titles in 2006-07.
Green, who attended this year's Jr. National Showcase at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the third ranked prospect in Oregon for the class of 2015. David Irvine and Karsen Lindell are the other two committed prospects on the West Coast Mariners. Both are committed to the University of Washington, A Pac-12 school with eight past NCAA Tournament appearances. Lindell, a right-handed pitcher from Oregon, is the 95th national prospect for the 2015 class and the second overall prospect in Oregon for that same class.
Grenier is currently ranked 127th in the 2015 class, but may see his name rise up those rankings with an impressive showing both at the plate and on the field defensively at this event.
"These are pretty much some of the premier guys from the Northwest and we get guys like Cadyn to come play," said Kelly.
"(I am enjoying) playing with these and learning a lot from them. We play different," Grenier said. "We all have different thoughts about different things and I'm learning from these guys and I'm really adding to myself and showing them the way I play."
"They accepted me right away," Grenier said about playing with a mainly Washington and Oregon team. "It wasn't a tough transition to be with these guys at all."
"I feel like all of us are kind of the same guy -- we come out and just wanna play baseball, so we're gonna do anything we can for each other and come out and play as a team," added Kelly.
Parker Kelly, the 40th ranked prospect nationally for the class of 2015 is the younger brother of Carson Kelly, a second round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2012 MLB Draft. With his now professional experience, Carson has been able to give his younger brother the inside perspective most kids don't have the fortune of seeing.
"It was so much fun to be able to go through that process with him. He's been my buddy since day one," said Kelly. "He let me sit in on all his meetings. He was asking me, 'What do you think I should do?'
"One of the biggest things that he taught me was just keep having fun and enjoy the game cause you never know when you're gonna have to take the spikes and hang 'em up," Kelly said. "Always train harder, cause there's some guy around the U.S. trying to take your spot so don't let them outwork you."
Grenier agreed with Kelly, saying, "There's no breaks in Vegas. You play winter, you play spring, you play summer, fall, everything. It's a grind. There's a lot of good baseball players in Vegas."
Grenier and the West Coast Mariners are getting a first-hand look at what kind of talent the rest of the country has.
"We don't get to play East Coast teams all that often and to come out and play with our group and see where we mash with other kids in the country is really fun." Although, they remind everyone around which coast is the better, yelling 'West Coast, best coast' after a win.
Sakamoto offered another positive note, saying, "The biggest thing for me is just seeing different pitching -- seeing lefties that throw pretty hard and righties that bring 90 mph all the time. I think that's good just to see where I'm at, see where our team's at, and what we can improve on."
Coach Sakamoto and his team have enjoyed their first tournament on the East Coast and are catching some attention with their play.
"It's been a really good trip. Our guys are already talking about the next one (PG tournament) they wanna do, so we love it," said coach Sakamoto. "It's great to come down here and play against some really good competition and you guys (Perfect Game) do a great job -- first class all the way."

As I prepare to leave Mexico, here are a few observations about the local church that I take with me.
The average Mexican parish has about twelve Masses per weekend, let us say three on a Saturday evening, and nine on a Sunday. These may be every hour on the hour until 1pm or even 2pm (Mexicans like a late lunch), followed by two or three evening Masses, some as late at 10pm. Many priests are saying five Masses on a Sunday.
The congregations at these Masses are a cross section of society, old and young, rich and poor. There are no groups that seem over-represented, and no "missing generations".
Daily Masses attract large congregations.
Whenever you see a priest hearing confessions, there is a queue of people waiting, a very long queue, again of people of all ages. And whenever Mass is being said, another priest is hearing confessions.
At the end of Mass there is usually a prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Whenever you go into a Church, you will see someone praying.
The liturgy is rather basic, and reminds me of Italy. The Masses are all low, in every sense – no incense, no nice vestments (the Reds burned them all, I suppose) – and the sort of hymns that people sing without books. The Allleluia I have heard is sung to the tune of Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God, which is a melody that no one under the age of forty in the UK will know. Incidentally, as in certain other countries, a lot of the congragation leave as the closing hymn begins.
The clergy do not wear clerical dress, which was banned by the country's anti-clerical governments of the past.
So what is the secret of the success of the Mexican Church? For if you take the measure of people in the pew, it is a huge success… This must have its roots in history: this is a church of martyrs, but there again, so is the church in the British Isles. True, our martyrs date back a few hundred years, but they are not forgotten, nor should the anti-Catholicism of our own governments be forgotten either, which is still not entriely eradicated.
My answer to this question – why Catholicism flourishes in Mexico in a way it does not in England – is that the answer is partly religious, and partly cultural and sociological. English people are not interested, by and large, in religion, because they are not interested, by and large, in any social activity, and religion is a social activity. In the UK in general, membership of every sort of grouping, from poliical parties to youth groups, seems to be on the wane. Moreover, religion per se now seems alien to the British psyche, whereas in a country like Mexico (or Italy or Poland for that matter) religion seems a natural activity. Why is that? What happened to alienate British people from their faith?
Another question that arises is the old question of "broken Britain" – how can you communicate the faith to people when the channels of communication themselves are broken? And here is a funny thing: Britain is a highly organised and successful country in many ways, whereas Mexico is not. Mexico has had many woes, and continues to experience these woes. Yet something in Mexico works in a way that it does not in England. Of course I am not a sociologist, though I am interested in cultural questions: but what I would like to know is this – is there any way back for us in England to a more integrated, happier society, one in which religion would not be marginalised but would once more become mainstream?

Forget the results. These were, after all, the Rams, who have been outscored by more points than any team in the NFL. Instead, pay attention to how the Bears got their results in Sunday's 27-3 romp in St. Louis. That will indicate what was real, and what was not, about Chicago's latest performance.
Forget the results. These were, after all, the Rams, who have been outscored by more points than any team in the NFL. Instead, pay attention to how the Bears got their results in Sunday's 27-3 romp in St. Louis.
That will indicate what was real, and what was not, about Chicago's latest performance:
--The Bears ran for 201 yards, their highest total in seven seasons.
Verdict: not real.
This was simply too good to be true. And too easy. The line blew open such huge holes that backup Adrian Peterson, who had one carry all year, looked as good as Matt Forte. Peterson averaged 7.0 yards on five carries, Forte 6.6 on 20 carries. That was only the second time in the last nine games Forte has averaged more than 4.0 yards a carry. Don't expect another big game against the Vikings' No. 2-ranked run defense Sunday night in Minnesota.
--Chicago recorded five sacks. Tommie Harris and Adewale Ogunleye had almost as many sacks in one game (four) as they had the previous 10 (four and a half).
Verdict: part real, part not.
Harris and Alex Brown, who had Chicago's fifth sack, shoved Rams' linemen backward all day. Ogunleye was unblocked on both his sacks. Against a competent team, he likely would not have reached the quarterback. But Harris is starting to show signs of his former Pro Bowl self.
--The Bears held St. Louis to 14 yards rushing on 19 carries.
Verdict: real.
The Bears rank No. 5 in the NFL in rushing defense with an average of 80.7 yards and third with an average of 3.3 per carry. Except for Green Bay's 200 yards two weeks ago, Chicago has stopped the run better than it has in any season in the last 40-plus years.
--The Bears intercepted four Trent Green passes.
Verdict: real.
Brian Urlacher had his second interception in two games after having zero his first nine. That's a lot like last year, when he had four of his five interceptions in the last five games. Lovie Smith predicted this three weeks ago when he said Urlacher could get five interceptions and five sacks despite having zero and zero at the time. "He's a strong finisher. That's what we like," Smith said.
--Chicago's wide receivers had seven catches for 70 yards. Take away converted kick returner Devin Hester and those numbers shrink to two catches for 13 yards.
Verdict: real.
Chicago's receivers, after a decent start, are starting to look like the motley group they were predicted to be. They had no catches for the first two and a half quarters of the previous game at Green Bay.
The most important sign Sunday was the Bears' pass defense. Not just those four interceptions, but how they got them. The Bears stopped giving away the middle.
"They made some adjustments on what was hurting them," Trent Green said after repeatedly getting picked off on slant routes, including two that were tipped by Urlacher and Briggs.
"They understood they were getting beat up on the slant routes, so they mugged the linebackers and had them jump. They had a good game plan defensively."
Now they need to keep it.

Stephen Curry's ankle used up its final sick day of the year, because unlike weak ankles themselves, sick days don't roll over. (Boom! Nailed it.) Dwyane Wade? His left foot caused an early exit. Then a quarter later, his right foot told his left to stop being such a damn sissy, strap on an extra sock and get back out there. Wade told both feet he hates it when they fight and then re-entered the game to hit the game-winner against Charlotte. Eric Gordon didn't play because of a swollen knee he didn't bother telling anyone about. I'm assuming two things here: 1) Eric Gordon owns a bunk bed and sleeps on the top, 2) last night he fell of it – which is embarrassing – and the team came up with some bogus tale of a basketball-related bruise, and 3) I said there were two assumptions. You have no business inquiring about number three. Jrue Holiday mashed his knee and silently left the game. He's likely to return Friday. And as if losing four top 10 guards wasn't enough, I'll throw in a Mike Conley, who went down with a sprain less than a minute into his match against OKC, and George Hill, who is shooting .154 in two games this season. … Wait. I've been told George Hill is not injured. Really? Are you sure? Because he really seems injured. Ugh. Anyway, if you're wondering how to vulture these injuries, your pickups are as follows: Jarrett Jack (21/4/9, with 2 blk; will find a way to play 52 minutes a game), Lou Williams (if Holiday can't go, but all signs point to him being able to, uh, go), Jeremy Pargo (looked like Collison two years ago), Marco Belinelli (looks like Marco Belinelli – always), James Jones (if Wade's left dog is barking at him tomorrow) and Ish Smith, in that order. Now that all that unpleasantness is out of the way, here's s'more fantasy basketball goings-on from last night.
Paul George – 18/4/2, with 4 3ptm all by hisself. He's the George Hill George Hill sees in the mirror when George Hill is having one of those confident days.
James Johnson – 6/8/2, with 6 stls and 2 blks. He's averaging 5.5/ 7/3.5, with 4 stls and 2.5 blks in his first two games of the season. Did you miss grabbing Andre Iguodala in the draft? Want another chance at him (minus a few field-goals)? Here you go. I totally believe, with the exception of maybe these steals, he can do this all year and more if he overtakes Rasual Butler in the starting lineup.
DeMar DeRozan – Sank two threes. He's never made two threes in one game before. He's only made nine threes in total before tonight. That's it. I just like mentioning weird things. Speaking of which: Corey Maggette!
Corey Maggette – Didn't throw in a single point during Charlotte's 60-point first half against the Heat. It's probably harder to go 0-for-8 than 8-for-8 in this league. Everyone in the NBA is paid to be there and they're paid to be there because they are among the best at what they do. Maggette is paid to score. Therefore it's not ridiculous to say he's among the best in the world at doing so. It would be considered impressive if he went 8-for-8, but not unthinkable. It's unthinkable that he'd unsuccessfully put the biscuit in the basket against a team that hasn't shown this season that it can stop anyone from doing so.
Boris Diaw – 16/16/8 and now he's averaging 12.5/12/9.5. I'm confident he'll keep up this pace all season. I don't own him in any leagues, so either I'm right or I'm happy. And THAT'S how you hedge a bet, sister!
Gerald Henderson – 21/4/4, with a three, two blocks and two steals. He's had a couple great games and all of a sudden he's gotten the "Hendo" nickname. I'm partial toward Hender's Game, but that's because I believe there is a place for science-fiction references in basketball, even though no one else does.
Jordan Crawford – Shot 0-for-6 from the field and ended with one point in 22 minutes. Nick Young, on the other hand, finished with 21 in 32 minutes. Not only that, he doled out four assists. FOUR! /puts hands on hips and looks around\ FOUR!
Marvin Williams – 17/8, with a pair of threes, a couple of steals and a block because everybody enjoys a good block now and again. He's averaging 15.5/8.5, with 2 3ptm and 2.5 stls in two weird games to start the season. He's playing like he's been expected to play for three years. And because he hasn't played that way in these last three years, I'm guessing we're in for a regression sooner than later.
Ramon Sessions – Sessions had six assists, or 24 Nick Young Assists™. His final line: 16/7/6 in 28 minutes. Another blowout, this time in Cleveland's favor. Play him if you own him, but these last two games have been coincidental flukes.
Brandon Knight – 23 points on 13 shots, six dimes and three threes. The only downside to the guy is that his name is Brandon. I don't trust Brandons or guys who spell their name as "Geoffrey."
Austin Daye – Talk about night and day, Austin is the anti-Knight. Drop him until he shows anyone anything.
Russell Westbrook – 0-for-13 from the field and raised his voice to Kevin Durant. WORSTBROOK.
Jeremy Pargo – 15/3/7, with a pair of steals. MAGNOFALACIO! Minutes Ain't Got No Face As Long As Conley Is Out. Sorry, Grey.
Elton Brand – Took only seven shots against possibly the worst team in the West; made only two of them. He's averaging 7/8.5/2 in his first two games. Let's move on. It's stinging my nostrils and I'm getting dizzy.
Evan Turner – 12/7/2, with a steal. He's averaging 11/5.5/2, with a steal in his first two games. This is technically an improvement over last year (so far), but remember: E.T. phoned in a 16/7/4, 1 block game in almost 31 minutes in his second game last season. What I'm saying is, let's talk in February.
Robin Lopez – 7/6/3, in 20 minutes. If I were holding a metaphorical sunflower, it would comically droop now.
Steve Nash – 4/0/1, 6 tov in 17 minutes and he's not hurt. … … … His worst game last season was 4/0/1, with 2 tovs.
Derrick Favors – 2/10, with 3 tovs in 17 minutes. He's spraying his game with weak sauce. Bench him if you're in a deep league, drop him if you're in a shallow. Make him show you something. Millsap is the stream if you're into streaming. Actually, Favors was the stream, but it didn't work out. That'll teach you to stream on Millsap.
Alec Burks – 15 points and a steal in 10 minutes. If I had a fu-manchu, you best believe I'd be stroking it in anticipation of watching Burks' next few games. I don't, so I won't. But if I did, I would.
Brandon Rush – Saw 25+ minutes last night, including the end of the game alongside Monta Ellis. Although he ended with 19/5 with a couple of threes and a couple of steals, I wouldn't rush (pun!) to grab him. He's splitting time with Ish Smith (11/6/4, with 2 steals) until Curry returns or "re-curries" if you're into portmanteaus. Also, this line came while Bibby was guarding him. That's worth something. Unless you're Bibby. Then it's not worth much.

British Columbia campground bookings jumped 30% in the first five days of the province's revamped online reservation system compared with last year, says Parks Minister Barry Penner.
That is a "pretty significant increase year-over-year," Penner said in an interview with the Victoria Times Colonist.
"I'm certain some of that increase is due to the new features that we are now offering through the reservation system. In particular, you are now able to request a specific campsite within a campground."
Penner, who used to work as a park ranger on the Lower Mainland, remembers campers who were devoted to certain spots. Some prefer to be next to a creek, hiking trails, near a woodlot, or washrooms and hot showers.
The province also recently moved the overnight rate in British Columbia campgrounds up by as much as $6 a night on April 1, depending on the location. Camping at the most popular spots on Vancouver Island, such as Goldstream Park near the Malahat, or Rathtrevor Beach near Parksville, has gone up to $30 per night.
However, 60% of British Columbia's park campgrounds still offer campsites for $16 per night or less, Penner said.
There has been little feedback to the new rates, he said. "The new fees have hardly been a deterrent to camping as evidenced by a 30% increase in bookings," Penner said.
During the first five days of bookings, there were 8,259 reservations for the season, up from 6,327 for the same days last year, Penner said.
British Columbia's provincial parks have more than 340 campgrounds with 11,000 campsites. Overall attendance rose 5% last year.
Fees were increased to cover escalating operating costs, Penner said. Currently fees cover 40% of the cost of operating the parks system. Taxpayers pay the rest.
British Columbia's provincial parks fees are 7-50% lower than those found in the private sector or national parks for similar services, he said.

I realize that I wrote "perfectly rational" and " too paranoid to keep a job" in the same breath, but what I'm trying to express is not whether he is ill, which is an absolute, but whether or not there are different degrees to this illness?
I certainly agree that I have moments of denial, but I know that he needs help, wake up every morning with the hope that this day will be the one when I convince him to see the Psychologist, and I am doing my best to get him to understand that. I am in contact with community organizations and have devoted the last months towards pleading, begging, screaming, arguing, and threatening… whatever I could think of to get him to the next step. And we do move forward, though we tend to hit major hurdles on the way.
The process is nowhere near as straight forward as it ought to be : )
It's not going very well now, because he does appear to think "rationally" on so many other levels, that he uses that as ammunition.
For example, he asks how someone who is ill could re-build the deck; renovate our basement, and record new music and songs, etc… All this is proof that he is perfectly normal, and all would be absolute paradise in our lives if the "others" would leave him alone. He never brings the "others" up unless prompted. Pointing out that thinking that there are "others" in the first place is what makes him ill is rebuffed.
I guess my question is more about degenerative properties of the illness. Is it possible that he stays at this level of "lucidity" for a long period of time? I realize that it will inevitably get worse and he more and more caught up in his paranoia, but he now claims that things are getting better. That "people are finally leaving him alone"..
I don't know which I am hoping for… the first means he may not accept he is ill for months (years?) and delay getting the crucial help that he needs, while the second might mean involuntary hospitalization and having the police come and take him away…
Maybe I am being naïve, but I would love to figure out a way to get him to "see the light" without it being forced upon him… otherwise it's like we actually are part of a conspiracy to manipulate him, and it really IS for his own good.
More about our situation…
My 28 yr old husband of 10 years is exhibiting what appears' to be psychosis, or more specifically paranoid delusions. He feels there is a large conspiracy out there, of which now everyone he knows (including me) is a part of. The only ones not privy to this plan are our 2 kids (4 & 9) He feels we are all trying to manipulate him into doing things or going in a direction with his career that he doesn't want to go in. It's like we're all trying to get him to do something that we think is for his own good. He feels that we are trying to help him, but that he does not want this help. He is not afraid of "them", but simply angry at the invasion of his privacy and the perceived affront on his dignity.
He's escalated from workplace paranoia, to people on the street, in stores and now his own family. He also thinks that people "know" what he says to himself. He thinks that his words, when spoken to himself out loud (we've not yet reached the points of thoughts being read), alone in the house or working out in the yard, are being broadcast to this great secretive society via radio and internet podcasts.
It is clear to me that he is have paranoid delusions, and we have been able to visit a GP and a psychiatrist at the local Psychiatric clinic, but he refuses to follow through and complete the assessment. We are left with no "official" diagnosis.
When I spoke with his psychiatrist, she said that he was having a psychotic episode. However, she refused to give me dx, as the assessment depended on receiving the input of a Psychologist in order to be completed. He won't go. He thinks nothing is wrong with him. He thinks if I would simply stop listening to "those disgusting and misguided people" and our life would be perfect. It would appear that I hold all the answers for him.
My question those of you on the forum with more experience is: is it possible for someone who most probably is Paranoid Schizophrenic, to be loving, active, communicative, alert, and almost always rational in everyday life? True he cannot hold down a job due to massive paranoia he encounters in the workplace, and feels that even interviews for prospective jobs are fixed, and part of the "greater scheme", but in every single other aspect of his life, he is fine.
I feel that it would be SO easy for me to slip into denial, as long as I don't ask certain "instigating" questions, he seems perfectly rational.
Can there by mild forms or paranoia, or is it something that will progressively get worse, if left untreated?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
The whole day's gone by… been distracting myself… delusions in my own right… anything to allow for denial I guess. Only it doesn't feel like denial. I mean, I know I have to get him to go back and complete his assessment.. We need answers, we need a plan. I NEED A F&^* PLAN!
But yet I've not confronted him today. Kids were here with us (8 & 4) so not the best scenario.
I am tired… so tired lately. Out of steam, though I'm not allowed to ever run out am I? Not yet, not now…
Tomorrow's another day.
Tomorrow I make it all happen.
So here we are, every day an exercise in denial; in make believe, in wishful thinking… The realization of what is happening bears down on me, on us all, and oddly I am overwhelmed with moments of normality.
I know they won't last, that they are illusions I've created from sheer desperation for life too quickly past, too easily taken for granted and now departed.
My first impulse is to say it all started a year ago. After 9 years, we had split up for a painfully long spam of 8 months, and were just rediscovering each other; corners of self never explored, new talents and interests born of necessity and personal growth… though one would argue personal growth is a necessity. This we had ignored in the past, too busy raising kids so early had, building a home and a family before we had finished growing in our own right.
But here we were together again, and all was roses and sunshine, light and joy.We were sitting one afternoon in a little café and he told me a story about his work. They were out to push him to do bigger and better things. They wanted him to move in a direction he was interested in. He had made it clear to them repeatedly, but he didn't think they were getting the picture. So far, so good. Nothing amiss with that. Only the next thing he said was that his coworkers were recruiting some of the customers to help them with their plan, that client meetings were being orchestrated to appear as something other than what it was. He said they would purposely set up a scenario just to test his reactions to them…
I have to say that I have read of the fabled "shivers that run down your spine" and though it a great descriptor in literary works, but nothing that could be experienced first hand. I was mistaken. I was then hit by 2 realizations:
1) Something wicked, this way comes.
2) Shivers can run up and down your spine, and it's not pleasant.
I wish I had paid more attention to those first visceral instincts. People, take your shivers seriously! But the night wore on, the days turned into weeks, etc, etc.. all was well and happy again, this little glimpse into the dark abyss long gone and forgotten.We moved back in together, kids were happy; we were happy, family happy….
And then the shivers returned. He began work in a new place with new people, who all inevitably turned out to be part of that first "conspiracy". Wherever he went, there they were. New faces, seemingly normal, but they would all be in on the "bigger plan". He left jobs, got new ones and then left those, until finally, he gave up. The interviewers at new places were actors, hired by "Them" to study him and his reactions, as if the whole world was Lab and he the mouse.
There was a time when my family and I were not part of this, when he couldn't believe that we ever would be… but inevitably, like a reverse ripple effect, we've all been consumed, we are all of us part of it.To what end? I've never been able to get form him a proper explanation.
There was a few times, while ago now, when I sat with him and wrote out all of his paranoid thoughts. He re-read them hours later and couldn't justify them, couldn't rationalize them in the least. He knew something was going wrong. He sought help, and help he did not find. A talk therapist would insist that he recount every story, so often that he too was eventually folded into the "bigger plan".
All of us hand in hand in the plan…
And now he feels that I am the Keeper of the Keys, that I hold the truth and if I would just tell him what's going on we could get on with our lives and be happy.
How did this all end up my fault?
We made it to a doctor. He went, he says, only because I wanted him to go. The doctor spoke with him and we walked out of there with a referral for a Psychiatric assessment. We went to see the Psychiatrist the following week… what a disaster! She wouldn't listen to him… it's so important for him to express these feelings that he feels that unless you sit silently next to him while he rants away, you could not have possibly understood what he is saying. He cannot tolerate any interruption, as he feels this is an attack on his dignity and rights. She let him speak a bit and then would cut him off and ask more questions. I think he was as patient as a paranoid person could be in the circumstances, but by the time she asked me to join them, and brought up the fact that she thought he was having a psychotic episode… well, he had had enough. She needed him to go to the Psychologist in order to complete the assessment, and he bellowed that she should be examining the people who are doing this to him, that they need the help, not he! He stormed out without making an appointment.
I was left sitting with the doctor, shocked, exhausted and pretty damn hopeless.
"There is nothing we can do. He must want to seek treatment on his own, no one can force him. He can forced only if he becomes violent or suicidal."
"But this is against the very nature of his character-"
"He might change, drastically, but I can't tell you when…"
"So if he continues to fall deeper into paranoia, there is nothing I can do until he hurts someone or himself?"
"I'm sorry. We're stuck here till he wants to move forward."
So this is where we are. I am off of work for one week. One week in order to pester him to go, to scream and beg and bully and plead… whatever will work. How do you do it?How can you convince someone who believes they are 100% right, that every fiber of their being is positive that something is going on… someone who feels he has proof to that effect in the way people behave around him… how do you convince them that their mind is lying to them, that their senses are misfiring, that seeing is NOT believing?
- Any of a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances. Schizophrenia is associated with dopamine imbalances in the brain and may have an underlying genetic cause.
- A situation or condition that results from the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic qualities, identities, or activities: the national schizophrenia that results from carrying out an unpopular war.

Things Women Have to Stop Letting Interfere with Their Sex Dating Lives
adult dating, adult dating online, adult dating website, hookup, hook up, hookup with girls, hookup with guys, sex dating sites, sex dating, sex dating website, adult sex, adult sex website
Purge out these insecurities right out of your head so you can have a fun time sex dating.
Your Breast Size
Do you really think guys care if your boobs arent big enough when out sex dating? There really is no need to add ridiculous layers of padding or buy that new wonder bra you saw at Fredericks of Hollywood. And who knows? It might turn out to be a complete turn-on for him.
Your I Dont Shave/Wax In the Winter Idea
Women are pretty good in maintaining their manicures during the winter months, but leg shaving and bikini waxing are both usually forgotten. Getting a bikini wax isnt exactly an enjoyable procedure, so if women decide to do it, there has to be a beach somewhere nearby, or maybe Hawaii. But do you know whats a whole lot better than Hawaii? Mind-blowing oral sex. âNuff said.
Your Stretch Marks
These are something that will stay, and probably not be going anywhere anytime soon. Deal with it. This especially goes to all the single moms who used to have abs like Gwen Stefani, and now meh. I feel your pain, girls. But you dont have to worry, its all good. He still thinks youre sexy, and you have to trust me on this. Never have I heard of foreplay coming to an abrupt stop just because a guy discovered a patch of stretch marks on a womans body.
The Fact That He Never Spends a Night At Your Place
This is particularly directed to the single moms out there. Yes, we all know being in a relationship is all about compromise, and yadda, yadda, yadda. But seriously, perhaps its a good idea to take things at his place. My kid still wakes up in the middle of the night, so imagine him waking up and seeing mommy getting it on with a stranger. Keep your sex dating life simple and save your I fucked up my kid therapy money for something else more important. So unless your man has spent considerable time with your kid, hook up at his place. Or maybe at your place if your kid is with the other parent.
Doubts About Your Oral Sex Performance
I know this is far from easy to do. Literally. And Samantha from Sex and the City said it best: Theres teeth replacement, jaw suction, gag reflex all while bobbing up and down, moaning, and trying to breathe through your nose. They dont call it a job for nothing. But guys like it. And regardless of how bad you think you might be at giving blow jobs, as long as youre not hurting his little friend, hes going to enjoy it. For guys, a bad blow job is probably like bad pizza; even if its not perfect, its probably still pretty good.

The first "debate" for Wisconsin governor between Scott Walker and Tom Barrett was held tonight. The next will be Oct. 8 and one will follow Oct. 15. There's video here if you want to see it.
Here are my impressions.
First of all, it was not a debate. Opening statements were made by both candidates and then a panel of three took turns asking questions. There was little room or time for rebuttal. The debate ended with closing statements by both candidates.
Both seemed well-prepared. I didn't notice any slip-ups although I'm sure some one will find some.
Nor did I hear any new ground. Most of the talking points I'd heard before. The themes for Walker were tax cuts and getting government to work for people again. Barrett's themes were that Wisconsin needs adult leadership and we have serious problems that need serious answers.
Barrett was more often on the attack. Walker was content, for the most part, to present his program, although he attacked as well.
The winner? Each side will claim victory, although the format precludes determining a clear winner.

More Good Thai in Elmhurst at Nusara Thai Kitchen
This part of Elmhurst has some big players. Chao Thai, right in the shadow of the Long Island Railroad tracks, plays host to some excellent Thai food. There's solid Vietnamese to be found at Pho Bang across the street, and Taste Good around the corner continues to serve up bowls of Malaysian laksa to hungry crowds, even if the food's only a fraction as good as it used to be.
All the while, Nusara Thai Kitchen has been quietly humming along next to the big dogs, receiving the occasional review but generally keeping under the radar. It goes to show the embarrassment of edible riches we have in Queens, because if this restaurant were anywhere else, it'd be a beloved neighborhood spot with a vocal following.
In Elmhurst it's merely another good Thai restaurant that the locals largely keep to themselves. But the menu differs enough from its neighbors—Chao Thai across the street, Ayada a short walk away—that it's worth a visit on its own.
You won't find Sun-Soaked Pork Strips ($7) at most Thai restaurants. Here the thin slices of fish sauce-marinated pork are dried to a quasi-jerky state, then served with a sweet-tart dipping sauce that makes them disappear fast. Beer makes them disappear even faster.
What's New On Serious Eats
Most Thai spots also won't give you the option to order your Som Tum ($7.95) Lao-style, with eggplant and anchovy joining well-pounded papaya. The extra fishy funk is worth an order, one of the few things that can stand up to the unrepentant heat the salad delivers. Seriously: ask for something spicy and you'll get it. Consider demurring for something more tame to taste the rest of your meal all the better.
To give your tongue a rest, try the Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli ($10.95), which takes the form of a mucilaginous soup rather than a thin stir fry. Its gloopy appearance doesn't inspire much confidence, but its flavor does—a gentle, soothing broth accented by oyster sauce, full of just-tender greens and abundant fatty pork. Much of the pork is freshly fried skin, which makes an airy, crunchy counterpoint to the soup.
Only the Yum Nam ($8.95) disappointed, and let's be honest, Thai sausage dishes in New York usually do. The thin slices of waxy sausage, raw onion, and wickedly hot lime dressing just don't add up to much beyond the sum of their parts.
But overall, the cooking at Nusara leaves a favorable impression. It may not have the name recognition of its neighbors, but anywhere other than here and that wouldn't matter one bit.

Hi, I have a question about the wrapping of JTextPanes. I have JTextPane inside a JScrollPane, and the way wrapping works is a little weird. Basically I want something like in Word: when you add text if it is too long it wraps at the next word. I know this is the default function of a JTextPane. When there isn't a word break, however, the JTextPane doesn't break the word in the middle of the word, but instead increases the size of the text pane (I think) to accommodate the larger word. This because the JTextPane is now bigger, any other text that I added earlier to the textpane which had previously word wrapped now extends to the new boundary of the textpane, and then wraps there.
How can I make it so that if the word is too big for the textpane, instead of extending the textpane it cuts the word and puts the rest of the word on the next line?

Soft design for an extra cozy feeling -
BABYBJÖRN Bouncer Balance Soft is our classic bouncer in an extra soft design. The safety harness, with its wonderfully soft padding, is comfortable for the baby to hold on to. The whole bouncer is characterized by round forms and a supportive design that create an extra cozy feeling for your little baby
Rocking that develops motor skills and balance -
Babies love to rock! Your baby quickly learns how to make the bouncer rock by his or her own movements and this develops balance and motor skills in a completely natural way. Our bouncer does not run on batteries – it runs on playfulness.
Proper head and back support -
When you choose a bouncer from BABYBJÖRN, you can be sure your baby is getting the proper support for his/her back and head. The bouncer has a fitted fabric seat that moulds itself to your baby's body and distributes your baby's weight evenly. This gives your baby good support and is particularly important for very young babies whose muscles are not yet fully developed.
Suitable for both rest and play - Your baby's playfulness can quickly turn into sleepiness. The bouncer has different positions and you can easily and quietly adjust the bouncer from the highest play position to the lowest sleep position. The bouncer can also be folded completely flat – perfect for storage or transport
Bouncer and chair in one - BABYBJÖRN Bouncer Balance Soft can be used as both a bouncer and a comfy chair. From the time your baby is newborn (at least 8 lbs/3.5kg) and until she or he has learned to situp unaided, it can be used as a bouncer. When your child has learned to walk and sit independently, you can reverse the fabric to create a comfy chair (up to 29 lbs/13kg or approximately 2 years of age).
It all started with a bouncer - Björn Jakobson created his first bouncer in 1961 and that was the start of BabyBjörn. Since then, millions of children have played and been rocked and calmed in our bouncers. In this time, the appeal of bouncers hasnt changed. Then, just as now, babies liked being able to entertain themselves while staying close to their parents. And parents appreciated being able to put their child in a safe place so they could have their hands free
What does a medical expert have to say about our bouncers? - The BABYBJÖRN Bouncer Balance provides good alignment and ample support of the baby's neck and spine.When the child rocks himself in the bouncer, he is developing his motor skills and balance. Because of its excellent construction, the BABYBJÖRN Bouncer Balance is safe for use up to 29 pounds, allowing many children to use it up to two years of age.

Rock tiny babies to sleep
Our bouncer has a natural rocking movement that calms and sooths. In the early months, you can rock your baby to sleep in the bouncer by hand or foot. And who knows – this may be what makes your baby give their very first smile.
Tested and safe product
The fabrics in the bouncer are tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. This guarantees that the fabric is free from harmful and allergenic substances. This product also fulfils the requirements of both European and American safety standards.
The rotating figures spark your child's curiosity and might even prompt baby's first smile. Playing also helps the child to discover their physical capabilities and develop their motor skills.
The toy fits all our bouncers and attaches in a way that makes it hard for the child to remove on their own.
All plastic products from BABYBJÖRN meet the relevant safety requirements for plastic in both Europe and the USA. This means that the plastics continually undergo rigorous testing for bisphenol A (BPA) and health-hazardous substances, and they are certified safe for foods. That's important to us!
All fabrics in this product are soft on your childs skin and 100% safe to taste or suck on. They are approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I for baby products, which guarantees that they are free from harmful and allergenic substances. That's important to us!

It's a new ad campaign called "Ransom Notes," sponsored by the NYU Child Study Center. Vicki Forman describes it well over at Speak Softly. So does Kristina Chew at Autism Vox.
The campaign purports to be a public service, designed to "create awareness and spark dialogue about childhood psychiatric disorders," though I have to say that, to me, it looks more like a campaign designed to inspire fear - a little "shock and awe" for the masses. The campaign is built around images designed to look like actual ransom notes, that say things like this:
We have your son.
We will make sure he will not be able to care for himself or interact socially as long as he lives.
This is only the beginning.
Vicki and Kristina have already, very eloquently, explained why this "autism awareness" campaign is so very troubling.
Let me just add this:
Should Autism decide to send this letter to my house, I've got my reply ready to roll. Here's what it says:
Dear Autism,
You don't have my son; I do.
I will make sure that he is never defined by his autism alone, and I will help him to recognize that, although his autism makes some things incredibly challenging, it also brings with it remarkable gifts. I will make sure that we work on his challenges. I will make sure that we celebrate his gifts.
This is only the beginning.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees BLACK SABBATH — Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler — will make a rare television appearance when they perform a new song in the season finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", Wednesday, May 15 (10:00-11:00PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
As the "CSI" team investigates a trail of murders with horrifying similarities to the sins in "Dante's Inferno", the band will share a scene with D.B. Russell (Ted Danson) when he and Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) attend a BLACK SABBATH show. The appearance will mark the band's world premiere of the song "End Of The Beginning" from their much-anticipated new album "13", due out June 11 on Vertigo/Republic. This marks BLACK SABBATH's return to Vertigo, their original label, and the group's first studio album together since 1978's "Never Say Die!" They have sold more than 70 million albums together.
"When we first heard that BLACK SABBATH was interested in premiering a song on 'CSI' from their first studio album in 35 years, we were all really excited. So many of us are longtime fans," said executive producer Don McGill. "And seeing as the album is titled '13' and this is the finale of 'CSI''s Season 13, it seemed like the perfect match. We couldn't be more thrilled."
Currently, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" wins its Wednesday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) time period in viewers (11.85m), adults 18-49 (2.9/08) and adults 25-54 (3.8/09). It is also a global ratings hit, earning the International TV Audience Award for the "most-watched show in the world" for the third consecutive year, its fifth time in seven years.
Osbourne told Australian radio station Triple M that the new BLACK SABBATH album is "mind-blowing." Ozzy added, "I'm so over the moon about the way the album turned out. We wrote 16 songs ... and I put it on my CD player, expecting me to be unhappy with the end result, but this big grin came on my face and my hair on the back on my neck (stood up) . . . It's better than my wildest dreams; it's so good."
Ozzy said, "If you're a SABBATH fan, you will not be disappointed. It's so SABBATH-y, it's scary. It's the album we should have made after [1973's] 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'."
The legendary singer continued, "Believe me, I'm the guy that goes, 'Ah, there's a mistake there.' I look for the mistake. If there's one mistake, I'll find it. But this album is great, perfect. It's very, very heavy, there's no getting away from the fact that it is BLACK SABBATH, and you can hear every instrument and everything clearly. It's so heavy. I'm so excited about it."
Songs set to appear on the disc include three seven-plus-minute behemoths called "End Of The Beginning", "God Is Dead" and "Epic", along with "Dear Father" and "Methademic".
The drum tracks on the album were laid down by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE sticksman Brad Wilk following original drummer Bill Ward's decision to bow out of the reunion.
SABBATH will launch a world tour in support of the album later this month in New Zealand, Australia and Japan, with North American dates to follow this summer.
The band, with Ward initially on board, announced its current reunion in November 2011, six years after they had last played together.
Plans for extensive touring were curtailed by the January 2012 revelation that Iommi had been diagnosed with an early stage of cancer. He continues to receive treatment.

Post Of The Month: Special Stephen Lawrence Edition

Is it just me .. or is anyone else heartily sick & tired of hearing the name Stephen Lawrence ?
One could be forgiven for thinking that he'd been the only person ever to be murdered in the history of the world ..

Sick about tired of the name Stephen Laurence. An to hear he's mum say u never hear about black men being killed on the news as much as whole men I almost choked on my tea. Many tens of millions of pounds spent. Two or three inquires a whole college built in he's name a thousand year old law "double jepady" has been changed so the suspects could be charged AGAIN after being found not guilty.

I would rather attempt a stab at putting sweetcorn back on the cob, than hear another news piece on Mr Lawrence. Loads of people's lives are cut short each week without as much column space, airtime or millions of pounds spent on them as Stephen Lawrence's has. I am not being nasty; I am being truthful and voicing my opinion. Happened.Over.#Forgive and forget

I am also sick to death of hearing that Stephen was killed by a racist. Have you noticed that the stock photo of him shows him giving the black power salute.
Good riddance to him and his family. Old mother Lawrence is getting her face everywhere. Lots of people have lost sons but they don't keep on about it. Just go away.

Gingrich Having too Good a Time to Quit
Even without a chance to win the GOP nomination, the former House speaker has a lot to gain.
Newt Gingrich isn't exactly playing to win in his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination. In fact, he's more than content being the party's "problemee" than its nominee.
Being the big thorn in the nomination process is fine with him. It's comfortable territory for the former party rebel and firebrand who shook up the GOP establishment two decades ago and led the 1994 Republican revolution.
The former House speaker seems to relish rejecting suggestions that he quit the race to give Rick Santorum a better shot at stopping Mitt Romney's steady, albeit dull, march to the nomination. It's not that he has a long-running beef with Santorum. He just doesn't care.
Gingrich has little support from establishment Republicans and only tiny support from former House colleagues he worked with. So it should come as no surprise that GOP insiders have little influence in trying to persuade him to get out of the race.
At this rate, Santorum and Gingrich will keep splitting the conservative base in upcoming contests, such as Illinois, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Indiana and North Carolina, leaving a clear, though bumpy, path for Romney. Gingrich will also wreak a little havoc in Texas, which has a May 29 primary and a bagful of delegates. Every delegate that Gingrich wins is one fewer for Santorum, and moves Romney every closer to the 1,144 delegates he needs to claim the nomination.
The math, like the party establishment's call for him to abandon his candidacy, is irrelevant to Gingrich. Don't be surprised if he stays in the race all the way to the Republican convention in Tampa this summer.
For one thing, he's having fun, even if he's not winning. Also, he has a super PAC and a small cadre of big donors on his side to keep ads up in pricey media markets in coming primaries. Before super PACS were legal, losing primary candidates had a hard time staying in the race as donors drifted away.
Gingrich is a creature of conservative think tanks and does plenty of corporate consulting and makes speeches on the side. That simply pales in comparison to being on the campaign trail for several more months, stirring debate and drawing television cameras and eager reporters.
There's no chance Gingrich will be tapped for vice president or be offered a role in a Republican administration. So why should he start playing nice?
And there's always the chance of a surprise development -- Romney or Santorum imploding or one of them facing a health scare or a scandal. So from Gingrich's standpoint, why not keep the campaign bus filled with gas and chugging along?
Finally, there are plenty of financial reasons for Gingrich to keep pressing from behind on the primary trail. After so much extended exposure and controversy, he'll again be a star on the speaking circuit and at book signings. He's far more of an intellectual force than 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who parlayed her candidacy into a booming financial empire built on book sales and massive speaking fees.
Gingrich already has a number of books under his belt. But it's a fair bet that his next one, out in a year or so, will become a best seller. He'll be a sought-after television commentator and a much-sought-after speech giver. His bank account will grow by millions.
That's why Newt Gingrich won't quit.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) – Wednesday night, the recording industry and all of America were abuzz with pageantry and promise as the 2011 Grammy Nominations were announced at the Grammy Nominations Concert at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. We were there and were treated to live performances by Miranda Lambert, B.o.B, Justin Bieber, Train, and Katy Perry, with LL Cool J hosting the event.
Eminem led the pack with 10 nominations, Bruno Mars got seven, and Lady Antebellum, Jay-Z, and Lady Gaga picked up 6 nods each, but that's only part of the story.
STORY: Bay Area Nominees Represents At The Grammys
See who picked up the other Grammy nods:
The night started off with Katy Perry serenading the crowd with her hit "California Gurls." The pop goddess rocked a silver outfit complete with wild/festive/shiny headgear. While the bit was pre-recorded, the performance was still amazing. The song made *spoiler alert* her later nomination all the more sweet. LL Cool J then kicked off the live show and threw it to Bruno Mars.
Mars, recently dogged by drug charges, made the crowd wonder when he donned a pair of sunglasses as he played an acoustic version of his hit "Just The Way You Are." By the second verse, Mars' fans were cheering, and he was one of the biggest hits of the night.
The Weirdest Presenter Couple of the Night Award goes to Selena Gomez and Foo Fighters' member Dave Grohl. After Mars' performance, they announced the nominees for Song of the Year (see below). The audience members weren't the only folks who found Selena absolutely adorable. Grohl had his eye on the up-and-comer during the entire presentation.
Next, in another outdoor pre-recorded segment, Train rocked LA Live with the hit "Hey, Soul Sister." Fans cheered while they watched the song which became huge this week after it was featured on Glee. Paramore's Hayley Williams then took the stage and announced the nominees for Best New Artist. Paramore was a recent winner of the prize, and she welcomed the newest nominees to her very select club.
Justin Bieber and Miranda Lambert, respectively, performed two of the year's biggest hits. Live from London, Bieber stopped dancing just long enough to sit down with an acoustic guitar for "Favorite Girl." Lambert looked particularly beautiful while belting out "Only Prettier." We're not saying she was staring daggers at Katy Perry while she sang the song, but the girl was definitely in her eye-line.
Music legend Stevie Wonder announced the nominees for Album of the Year. He threw it LL Cool J who was in the audience with the one and only Katy Perry! It was a total surprise to the superfans in the mezzanine who fell over themselves (and almost over the rail) to get a picture of their idol. It's a small price to pay to be close to celebrity. Before there were any casualties, Bruno Mars returned to the stage (sans glasses) and performed "Nothin' On You" with B.o.B. A group of tweenagers in the nosebleed section screamed their love for B.o.B. so loudly they drowned him out. Never underestimate the power of young girls' lungs.
Beloved CBS late night host, Craig Ferguson then took to the stage and announced the nominees for Best Female Country Performer. Good thing Miranda Lambert was nominated. It would have been really awkward if she was just silently weeping when they panned to her. Although, LL Cool J is so amazing he would have been able to comfort her if she lost her nomination to her (fictional) rival Gwyneth Paltrow.
The night ended with LL Cool J announcing Record of the Year nominees. For a song with such a racy title, Cee-Lo's "Album Commonly Referred to As Forget You" hit a nerve with the voters and was up for numerous awards including Record of the Year. (Your mom will not be pleased when she finds out the actual lyrics.) Just before the show closed with a rousing set by B.o.B., LL Cool J had a moment with an ecstatic Cee-Lo who could barely keep in his excitement and expletives over his nominations.
The evening was amazing. The stars were huge. The performances were epic. Now, we bring you your Grammy nominees!

A pilot died in the crash of a home-built plane at an Ellis County airport on Saturday afternoon.
Lynn Lunsford, Mid-State Public Affairs Manager for the Federal Aviation Administration said the crash happened around 4:40 p.m. at Mid-Way Regional Airport in Ellis County.
The aircraft involved in the crash is a single-engine home-built Skybolt biplane.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Law enforcement told the FAA that the pilot died in the crash. Their name has not been released, but Department of Public Safety State Trooper James Colunga says the pilot/builder of the plane, who is also the crash victim, is from the Arlington area.
Lunsford also said witnesses claim the plane was performing aerobatic maneuvers over the runway when it crashed.
Tracy Gilby from the Waxahachie area said she and her son saw the plane in the sky and pulled over near the airport to watch it.
"We saw the airplane doing tricks so we kind of slowed down to watch him and then he just kind of spiraled down," said Gilby.
She said when emergency vehicles began rushing by into the airport all they could do was pray.
FAA investigators are headed the crash site. The National Transportation Safety Board was also notified of the accident.
Family of the victim have been notified and were also at the scene Saturday night but declined to speak to the press.
The victim's name has not yet been released.
