Some people do it as a diet. Others use it as a cleanse. But it seems like everyone is juicing. In fact, the Wall Street Journal reports that juicer sales increased by 71 percent last year.
But is this just a fad or is a healthy way of life?
We talked to a man who completely changed his life with juicing. He's lost about 85 pounds and counting. All he has is juice and water for 60 days at a time and get this -- he's surrounded by tempting foods all day long.
Sizzling roast beef, sandwiches, French fries and cake surround Johnny Arenas all day long while he cooks at Majerle's Sports Grill in Goodyear.
"Everything is out, it's just juice and water," he says.
When the cravings kick in, he heads to the fridge.
"This is my green machine recipe."
Every day he turns down fatty foods for 96 ounces of fruit and vegetable juice. In April he started at over 400 pounds. Now he's down to 315.
Arenas was inspired by the documentary Fat, Sick And Nearly Dead.
"Wow that is me. And it made me feel so bad. And before that I had a lot of pains. I hurt, coming to work, it was hard so I was like I don't want to be like that. I'm going to give it a try and I'm going to do it," says Arenas.
So juicing works for Johnny and maybe you've heard of some other people who've had success. But could it work for you?
"Anybody's a good candidate for juicing, just because it does add that nutrient as far as the vegetables, you can eat a variety of vegetables that you wouldn't otherwise get," says nutrition expert Felicia Romero.
Felicia Romero with AZ Pro Physiques says long term meal replacement comes with risks, but recommends a detox.
"If you're going to start in a cleanse or detox, you can juice for 2 or 3 days max and then I would slowly start adding whole food back in while still keeping the juice in," she says.
Arenas will continue his diet in two month intervals until he's down to his high school weight.
"I want to teach my kid martial arts, I want to watch his football game and if I kept going the way I was, I wouldn't have saw that."
Johnny is still trying to lose another 100 pounds. He says if you're interested in juicing, you have be mentally prepared to succeed.
Juice recipe
4 to 5 carrots
2 handfuls of baby spinach
2 celery stalks
1 apple (cored and sliced)
A few fresh parsley leaves
A small piece of ginger
Wash all produce and put in juicer
35 Skyline Drive

By Amy AndrewsFox 2 NewsCANTON, Mich. (WJBK) -- A new dodgeball craze is sweeping metro Detroit, and it isn't your run of the mill gym class version. Yes, you can still act like a fifth grader if you want, just get ready to kick up the intensity level a few notches."You jump on and then you lose control of your body. There (are) balls flying everywhere. It's a real adrenaline rush," said Simeon Kraft.A group of guys affably known as Free Head Shots hone their skills in metro Detroit at the Canton Sky Zone."We named it Free Head Shots for two reasons. One, to inspire fear in the hearts of our enemies, but also to give everyone a good target so they know where we're aiming for," Kraft explained.You can watch them compete in the Ultimate Trampoline Dodgeball Championship from Los Angeles at 1:00 p.m. Sunday on Fox Sports Detroit.If you want to try your hand at this form of dodgeball on steroids, you can sign up at the Sky Zone in Canton. It's not just fun. It may help you shed some of those calories you packed on over the holidays."It really is a major cardio workout. It takes a lot of stamina to stay in the game. These guys are in pretty good shape. They played against the best," said Sky Zone owner Colleen Fitzgerald.Starting Monday, the Sky Zone is offering expanded holiday hours. They're also opening new facilities next year in Shelby Township and Novi.For more information about the Canton Sky Zone, including their hours, visit canton.skyzonesports.com.
Fall is here, so it's time to spice up that old mac & cheese with some tastes of the season.

Is your time at the gym just not
paying off? Losing weight is not an easy thing to do, and people fail for a
number of not so obvious reasons. Here are some common weight loss mistakes:
1. You stick to the same work out
It's easy to get comfortable in a routine at the gym. But your third week on the same elliptical program will not challenge your body the way it did week one. You need to add variety to your work outs. Experts recommend a new routine every three to five weeks.
Your only goal is weight loss
There's more to weight loss than just a number. If you give yourself a reason to be more healthy you'll see more pay off in the end. Like wanting to run a 5k with your daughter, or feeling confident in that little black dress. Keeping your underlying goal in mind will motivate you better than any target weight could.
3. You're on a fad diet
Simply don't do it! If you restrict your calorie consumption too much, your body will adapt and learn to survive on that 'fad' amount of calories. When you go back to eating normally again, you gain weight. It's called the yo-yo syndrome.
4. All you do is cardio
Cardio is a great way to burn calories, but if you're not losing weight despite hours of ding it, it's time to try something new. Add strength training to your workout. It sculpts, tones, and trips all at once. There are many different strength training plans that are geared specifically towards women who want to lose weight.
You listen to that negative voice in your head
When that little voice in your head tries to convince you you're too lazy or too self conscious to go to the gym, talk back.
6. You exercise by counting calories
When it comes to weight loss, diet and exercise go hand in hand. But if you're not losing weight, you might be taking that statement too literally. Burning 500 calories on the treadmill is not going to erase the 500 calorie burger you had for dinner. A lot of food we eat slows down the weight loss process because of preservatives and chemicals they contain. So, when choosing your food, stay as close to nature as possible. Keep in mind, food is fuel. Don't exercise to work off food; let food work for you.
You lack social support
It's no coincidence that overweight families tend to be overweight together. When trying to lose weight, it's important to surround yourself with like minded people. Friends and family who don't support your healthy initiatives can be detrimental to your diet and exercise plan.

Cowl Neck Jersey Dress with Beaded Detail Style XS4090 5 6
The Perfect Dress I loved this dress! It was comfortable and I never once had to fidget with it! I wore it all day long and got nothing but compliments on how gorgeous I looked. It fit perfect straight out of the box with no alterations. One of the best things about my amazing wedding day! I felt elegant and sexy at the same time, and my groom felt the same way! June 5, 2014
Simple and Elegant I love my wedding dress! We are having a small informal wedding and this dress not only looks great on me, but it fits perfectly with the style of our celebration. I am normally a size 4/6 but bought the size 10 due to the other reviewers and it fits like a glove. The ruching is very flattering and the beading at the empire line adds a touch of class to the simple silhouette of the dress. The jersey fabric is very comfortable and I know I will be able to wear this dress all day. I love cowl necklines. They are attractive without being too va va voom for a wedding dress. The cowl neck at the back is also understated sexy. April 13, 2014
Comfy and Flattering I was surprised how flattering this dress was. Even though I'm a size 6 in street clothes, I don't have much of a waist (I'm a bit of a tree trunk). The ruching on the front was very flattering, as was the empire waist. The texture also hid my undergarments well. You can wear a regular bra in this! It's also very stretchy and comfortable. I felt like I could walk, sit, dance, jump around... Loved that about it. My friends were also impressed with how flattering it was. January 8, 2014
Perfect scrunching Got this dress without trying on. In everyday dresses, I'm usually a size 6. Ordered this dress in a 10. I'm curvy, bigger in hips and thighs, and this dress was so flattering, I got so many compliments. The scrunching really highlights the waist while giving way to curves. Our wedding was small and casual, so this was perfect. January 5, 2014

Awesome I bought these for my bridesmaids and they are just perfect and nicely embroidered! I would definitely recommend this to anyone February 25, 2014
Super Cute! The description explains exactly what the bag is. I got the bags for my bridesmaids, flower girl, and myself. It is perfect for travel and they were very easy to design. I think they will like these. July 29, 2013
cute affordable idea I love these bags. I have 8 bridesmaids who are in my Indian wedding. I wanted to present their sarees and accessories to them in a special way. The tote bag is sturdy and the personalization of their names makes it memorable. The bags are affordable and serve as a great gift for the bridesmaids that can be reusable in any setting. In addition, there is an outside side pocket and a smaller pocket inside which is great for storage of small items. Ordering through David's Bridal was easy. I was able to make a quick change on thread color the day after ordering while it was "in process" by emailing customer service. They responded to me within 24 hours. I wish there was a way to pair a bag color and thread color online before ordering so you can see the image first to see if a combination works or not. My second wish is to have more color options for the bag color. Satisfied customer. March 21, 2013
Great buy! I loved these bags. I got one for all my bridesmaids & they came out great! Their name was printed so cute and I loved own the Apple thread looked nice on the black bag. The only thing I didn't like was the fact it's a hand bag because the straps aren't long enough to make it a shoulder bag but it's still a great gift. I really liked how the side it had long deep pockets for makeup. November 25, 2012

Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder what other
characters they have from books.
In one of the old golden books, there was an Evil Warrior named Goat Man.
Who owns the rights to him?
Here's the Golden Book that he was featured in!
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn (The Real 200X Evil-Lyn) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress
Sssqueeze Angella Perfuma Evilseed (MYP)
Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder what other
characters they have from books.
Yo great custom! Would be cool, Does anyone know anything about him?
I'd like to see him get made, but I'm thinking he's off-limits, since he's not early mini-comics.
Supporter of All Eras! Including "Son of He-Man"!
I wouldn't mind a Goat Man.
Uncle Montork has returned from Trolla!
I've always thought Goat Man was the guy from the first episode of New Adventures. hmmm...does anyone know if that's supposed to be him as well?
My MOTUC top 10 wants (POST SDCC 2014):
Queen Angella - Hunga the Harpy - Peekablue - Toy Catra - Veena - Red Knight - Vultak - Dylamug - Sibyline - Kex Queen
Small creatures that need to happen: 3 main twiggets
I always understood Goat Man was like Beast Man's running buddy. Possibly a sidekick for a sidekick?
I would love to see Goat-Man. Would not need much tooling to do him. A bonus figure worth getting.
yeah, he'd be neat to get down the road as a new character.
I'm not sure why his head & hands are red while his body is caucasian. looks terrible to me. either give him all red skin or all caucasian skin, but not both. at least have some type of gradation from one color to the next. He looks like his head & hands got badly sunburned or something. unless that's supposed to be a mask & gloves... I'm confused...
If he's supposed to be a 'goat' man, his feet should be hooves imo, and have hairy legs, like Pan the goat god from Greek Mythology. to me, there's nothing goatlike about him. He's a guy with a red head & horns... he might as well be demo-man. He looks more demon than goat imo. If i were designing him, I'd have him look like an evil Mr.Tumnis (from Narnia).
great custom figure though...looks like the drawing, albeit a poor character design imo.
Lifelong fan of: MOTU, G.I.Joe, Transformers, most 'good' movies of any genre, Star Wars, oldies/classic rock & country music, WWE/WWF/WCW/NWA wrestling, old school circus sideshow performers & fictional movie 'creatures', my friends and family. oh, yes...and I love action figures!!!!!
Support MVCreations for MOTUC!!!!
Would be awesome to get Goat Man, he could be Beast mans lacky. Beast man always takes Skeletors crap and now its Beast man turn to dish it out. Poor Beast man.
Evil Army of the Horde!!
This will be interesting to find out. He looks in the picture like an actual mattel figure
Isn't the picture that they used for the bio on the back of Zodac's card for MOTUC from one of the Golden Books? If that's the case, then I would assume they could do goat man. If they do make him, they should have his real name be Andros - as a nod the minion of Skeletor that appeared on the first episode of NA.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
That is a sweet looking custom.
I'd be down with Goat Man. The kind of new character I would like to see.
Great custom, i would buy one.

"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
I'd get one.
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a headThe B-52's
for me should be a good adition for motu but pleaseeeeee after we get all the vintage ones!!!!!

He must really hate Ram Man.
check out my artwork at geooco.blogspot.com
Id love to see some new characters like this guy come in. Im all for new characters though.
Oh hell yeah Goat Man all the way!! I hope they can make him.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted this guy. Back then I actually thought he had a figure.
I hope they can make it happen.
And people call me out for wanting obscure characters such as the Skelcons.
Oh, who am I kidding, if he turned out similar to that custom, I'd buy him!

If you're hoping to find love this Valentine's Day, here is what you can do to improve you odds.
Trulia conducted this study which breaks down where the singles are by ZIP code.
So men listen up. If you're a guy looking for love you should search the Upper East Side first. There are nearly two single women for every man.
If you are a single lady, you should move across the east river to long island city where there are almost one and a half single men for each girl.
Generally women tend to live in more upscale residential neighborhoods and men tend to flock to downtown areas because they are more convenient to their work places.
The study mentions if you are a single lady you should head downtown. More single men live in Battery Park City, Upper West Side, Soundview section of the Bronx, and Greenpoint in Brooklyn.
Other good spots for the single males are Baychester in the Bronx, Saint Albans in Queens, and East New York in Brooklyn.
New York ranks fourth among the areas with the most single women nationwide.
If you don't mind relocating, ladies, then Las Vegas and Honolulu top the list nationwide for single men.
Single men, you should move to Maryland, Washington, D.C., or Boston.

10" Chinese lantern
11 Fat quarters or 1-Jelly Roll
Step 1-Cut fat quarters into 2.5" x 22" strips. If you are using a jelly roll cut the strips in half so they are 22-ish inches long.
Step 2-Fold each strip in half, and run a gathering stitch along the bottom, securing at one end. You can use a machine, or do it by hand.
I did it by hand so that I could make the rosettes while I was waiting for kids at soccer, dentist, football, etc.
Step 4- Apply Hot Glue to the back of a rose and randomly stick it onto the Chinese lantern
Step 5- Keep gluing them on until the lantern is FULL.
1 lovely Be-rosed Lantern. Wouldn't this be great in a girls room?

Unless you're just now waking up from a two week nap (in which case don't tell us, you're just going to make everyone else jealous), you know that this year marks the 75th Anniversary of Batman.
It may have taken 75 years, but Batman now has his own weekly comic. The debut issue of Batman Eternal, DC Comics' first weekly since the launch of The New 52, is in stores today.
We're celebrating Batman all month long here on DCComics.com, and what better way to do that than with an awesome, all-Batman episode of DC All Access?!
To me, one of the most interesting things about Batman is how he's managed to go through so many different incarnations—from a campy live action TV Adam West, to an animated Bruce Timm iteration, to an older post-retirement Frank Miller version—and rather than turning us off or getting fans upset, we've embraced so many of them. As a character he's just so malleable. He has no powers, so anyone could be under that cape and cowl and give him a new vibe.
Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week, we're giving you exclusive first looks at WORLDS' FINEST #22 and COFFIN HILL #7.
Infinite Crisis, the new Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) set within the DC Comics Multiverse, is making a super hero-sized showing at PAX East in Boston, MA this weekend (April 11-13). The game's developer, Turbine, will have a massive presence at the show this year, hosting three tournaments over the course of the weekend, ensuring that all attendees can take part in defending the Multiverse, no matter their skill level.
Yes, after taking a few weeks off, we're back to break down what's in store for you this Wednesday from DC Comics and Vertigo. And what's in store for you is the debut issue of DC Comics' first weekly comic series since the start of The New 52.
In honor of the Batman's 75th Anniversary, the latest all-new episode of DC All Access is devoted to all things Dark Knight! Featuring a sneak peek at Bruce Timm's exciting new anniversary short, as well as all the latest and greatest from the Batman line of comics, we're also giving you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to win an awesome Batman: Arkham City Batarang Full Scale Replica.
With another weekend behind us, we're now one week closer to summer. Yes, summer. That blissful time of year where the sun is warm, the days are long and the water's perfect. We love warm weather almost as much as we love comic books here at DCComics.com (we said almost), and if that's you as well, then you're in luck. Or rather, you may be if you act quickly.
Yes, we know. It's still chilly outside. You're more likely to spend weekends with a nice cup of cocoa than you are sipping coladas on the beach. But summer's just around the bend, and you want to make sure you're ready.

Spacer beads are a great way to add a little detail to any bead bracelet. They're not big like barrel beads, but they're still beautifully detailed and charming. Add just one or two, or put one between all your beads - they help add detail without taking up too much space!
Our spacer beads are always a great addition to any bead collection. They can either take up that last little bit of space you need to fill in your bead bracelet, or you can add a lot of detail in a small space. Go for a really narrow spacer, like our band of hearts, or you can go for a wider one, like the ridged spacer bead to fill the required space. If you're looking to create a gentle transition from a glass bead to a dangle bead, a spacer is a great way to give a little space, without detracting from the beauty of the other beads.
You can also use these little spacer beads to add even more intriguing detail to an all rhodium bead bracelet - giving you a chance to add variation to your bracelet. Compatible with Pandora bracelets, and Pandora charms, these spacer beads make a great gift by themselves, or with other beads! These spacers, along with all of our other beads, fit Pandora, Biagi, Chamilia, Troll, and Pugster bracelets, and our beads look beautiful right along side all of these beads too! So, whether you're looking to start a new collection, or just add a few special beads to someone's existing bead bracelet, our spacer beads, and all other Baci beads are a great choice!

Myles that sounds like a fun place to work!
I saw something on fb today about a proposed IVF tax credit. They have an adoption tax credit, so why not an IVF tax credit? Sounds like a great idea to me. A whole bunch of people were commenting on it saying it would be a huge waste of money and people who want kids "that badly" should "just adopt" because there are so many children who need homes. Jerks. I so want to ask them if they have bio kids and if they did, why didn't they adopt instead since so many kids need homes. ugh. It's kind of like asking men about abortion, in my opinion. If you had no trouble conceiving, just shut your mouth.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
The people that comment on those articles are just trolls looking to stir crap up. I'm constantly amazed at the level of judgement and jealousy people express online. I say jealousy because why else would they care if you or someone else got a IVF tax credit? I mean really, THAT isn't going to put us over the edge financially. Allowing the super rich and corporations tax breaks to the extent where they not only pay 0 federal taxes, but also get a refund, in BILLION DOLLAR PROFIT years is what is killing us financially.
Why is that concept so freaking difficult to understand?
Yeah drives me crazy as I don't think men should have so much a say in an issue regarding a woman's body and body parts they do not have.
As for the adoption tax credit....as of right now it's set to expire and will only be available for special needs adoptions. I hope that changes. I know I can claim what we have paid in 2011 on our 2012 returns. We have paid about 1/3 of the suspected total costs so far. I am lucky in that my job also will give me some money but that is after the adoption....but will cover about another 1/3.
I guess that the thinking is that this helps families give homes to kids who need them and helps more families be able to afford it.
IF treatments paid out of pocket (which some states do cover) would probably fall under the medical tax credit. I think my sister will be able to do that as she pays out of pocket for pretty much everything when she does the IUI next year and she's on the lower income scale so probably would hit the what, 7.5% of income thing.
Yeah there are a lot of kids who need homes.....if you are able to care for special needs, older kids with lots of baggage. Many countries that have a lot of kids who need homes are not open for adoptions internationally. And if you want a healthy US infant....well those are in high demand. Not like there are orphanages full just waiting for you to go and pick one out. Really I think that most people don't have a clue about adoptions or what that involves unless they have been affected by it personally. I am lucky that my family has several adoptions in it already and the rest of our family and friends are supportive.
Agreed Chrissy!
And with the adoption credits....OMG the stories I have heard. People have to submit that in paper because you have to submit a ton of supporting paperwork. And than they hold it up and hold it up and most I know takes months to get it processed. Often they ask for even more paperwork. To make sure we aren't cheating......but when they looked back, found little to no fraud with the adoption credits. Now why don't that give that kind of scrutiny to those getting the major refunds and loopholes is beyond me. it's not the small number of people who adopt and took the credit that is breaking the bank.
One of my mom's first cousins adopted 3 kids last year from foster care. She didn't even know about the tax credits until she went to file her taxes and was completely surprised lol. So I don't see how fraud with adoption credits or IF credits would be able to occur since they are so easily able to prove.
On another note, maybe not another, since tax credits are a result of elections - I went to vote this morning and was happy that the line wasn't all that long. I meant to go early vote last week but forgot. When I told Elle I was going to take her with me to vote she said "Oh Mommy! We talked about voting in school!! Are you going to vote for Marack Abama or Mitt Rodney?" LOL, it was too cute. They gave her an "I voted" sticker that she took to school and so she was happy.
I don't know that I've ever shown an ID. And today, the woman in front of me had a mark next to her name saying that she already voted, but she told them some story (I didn't hear it) and so they crossed the mark off and let her vote today.
AKA Lisa724
Here and in many southern states it was a big deal that we had to prevent "voter fraud" lol. So they created a law that we have to show ID every freaking time we vote. I never had to show it except upon registration in Ohio. It is a PITA to show it every time.
Then I have people complain to me, because they know I have some conservative views, about black people and other organizations (the NAACP Legal Defense Fund is fighting a lot of these laws) objection to the new laws and they try to use me as proof that "black people can get IDs if they want them." But I am a fiscal conservative and so then they will get an attitude problem when I tell them how much waste it is, these IDs. Here in GA the law was approved only because the state of GA said they would provide free IDs to those without a license and they would also give them a ride to the ID making location. So in my fiscal conservative mind, I see that as a waste of money. Voter fraud is statistically irrelevant and now we have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in this state to give people ID cards and on gas and state vehicles to get them to the places they need to get to in order to obtain those IDs. Just stupid and wasteful IMO and I lost a few close associates by debating about this with them lol. I try not to be controversial except with DH most of the time but I got carried away, same as I just did now because those IDs get on my freaking nerves! It also makes the voting process longer as we have to fill out a form and then show ID and then have them compare the ID to the voter registration computer and so on and so on. Very drawn out process I tell you.
Kate, I think the voter ID laws vary pretty widely state by state.
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
I don't even remember if I showed ID when we registered. I know we had to have a pay stub or a bill with our names and address on them (recent ones).
Than today I went in and gave my name to the lady with the binder, she finds it and asks for my address and I give it to her. I sign the box and get a ticket that i give to the ballot people.
When I was little, it was cool as I went with my parents into these booths that had curtains that pulled around them. There was a board inside and they would flick the switches and when done would pull a handle, like on a slot machine.
I grew up voting with my parents...one would take me and the other my sister.
Now I just get the ballots where you have to draw a line with a black marker.
One of my volunteers has been working the polls for years and she doesn't think this whole vote fraud thing is really anything, has never seen it happen and believes that it is rare.
In this case I think that it was an accident and not fraud.
We have a law here requiring ID to vote. I don't have a problem with it. I have to show the same ID to use my credit card at a lot of stores, to ... Honestly it's right in my purse and it's not hard to show ID. It was a hugely controversial law in AZ. Honestly, though, they have a variety of things they will accept if you don't have a driver's license or state photo ID, including a utility bill or even a cell phone bill. We ask for verification of address at work and people are able to come up with something in every case I have seen. I would have a problem with the free ID thing, like you said, Erin.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I am so glad I voted last week during early voting. I was out today and the traffic was crazy. I voted in the small village where dh works, total population 500, I didn't have to wait in line at all. It was so nice!! our ballot was 4 pages too. We had to show ID for the first time and they also needed to match my siggy to the one on my ID. ha! when I sign those cc screens I just kinda scroll it along, I could be signing my name Betty Rubble for all they know. The woman made me do it twice lol.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
SCUBJIA! I'm here but tearing my hair out busy. Funeral went as well as you could expect. JoJo's birthday party the next day came off without a hitch, so that's good. I'm tired, but this weekend begins my art fair season so I am jumping right into planning for that. It's a good one because it is a studio tour, meaning that it is in my house and so all I have to do is clean the heck out of my house, set up in the living room, clean my studio, price and arrange the eggs, and make sure I have all my supplies. So really pretty easy. I have this tour for the next two weekends, then Thanksgiving, then the next weekend an outdoor art fair and then the weekend after that my last art fair of the season! Yay! Fall just flies by like a lightning flash for me from Halloween to mid-December is just gone.
I found out this week that I am probably not going to be paid for the mobile websites I worked on in September. I sent an invoice Oct. 1 and got nothing, then sent another one on Nov. 1. During that month on facebook, my friend kept posting about staying at different spas and crazy expensive and exclusive hotels here in town, going shopping in the expensive area of town, getting pedicures, etc. Yesterday I heard from the husband of my friend (an old high school friend, more of an acquaintance who I have always liked) saying that she moved out a month ago, leaving him with their two kids. She has a boyfriend and is planning on buying him out of the business. I found out from another friend that she is having a sort of manic breakdown, spending money she doesn't have and saying that her husband was beating her and the kids (which no one really thinks is true). Her parents are paying for her to stay for one month in an extended stay hotel, but other than that she has no income. Apparently she is looking for an investor for her business and if she does find one then she wants to hire me on to do what her husband was doing. The whole thing is a disaster, and she is apparently going to be coming by my open studio with her new boyfriend sometime in the next couple of weeks. I have no idea how to deal with her or what I am going to say or anything!
Hey Erin - I thought of you when I saw this: http://frugaltraveler.blogs.nytimes....sand/?src=dayp Was it you whose mother was looking for a Caribbean vacation? It's a crazy deal! I want to go.
Hope your first week at your new position has been good, Myles.
How is Kai feeling now that he has gone a few days? I saw that his stomach doesn't hurt as much. I wonder if it will have any effect on his bladder issues?
Sorry if I am missing anyone!
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Katy-you're crazy busy! Oh goodness!
And that situation you're in seem very bizarre. If it were me, I'd try to be friendly but would probably pop out with "Oh my!" when she introduced him. I hate that you're probably not going to get paid. Aside from the fact that I have no artistic ability whatsoever and can't match color schemes to save my life, the other reason I didn't study web design more in depth is because it is a field where it's common for someone like you to put in hours upon hours worth of work and not get paid for it.
I'm going to bed happy.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Thanks, Katy! That would stink if you don't get paid! She sounds delusional. What does she say when you ask her for the money? Does she have an excuse?
I'm in a somewhat similar boat of not getting paid right now, although I will happily walk away if it becomes too much of a headache. I did a favor for a woman in my mom's club who liked pics I once took of her children at an event. She asked me to do their portraits. I didn't really want to use my volunteer position to pick up paying clients, but I have this vision that I'll be able to pay for a standup paddleboard (SUP) entirely with money I make selling my things on eBay, side jobs like this, and a garage sale I'm doing w/ Santi's mommy this weekend. I don't really need the money outside of my normal income, but it's a matter of principle, since I have too much stuff and a SUP is just another expensive toy. That's why I agreed to do a 45 min session for her at 65% the cost of what the professional photographers in the club charge when they run specials. What I charged her is far below my hourly consulting rate; it's small potatoes to me, but still a significant chunk of the cost of the board I want. So on Sunday, she asks to meet at 10:30. I confirm with her that morning at 9am. She texts me at 10:20 asking if I can do 11:30. Fine, although I know her kids are going to be less pleasant at that point. So the family shows up at 11:48. Her baby is fussy and 3 year old is uncontrollable. And she keeps telling me she has this vision of pics of the kids happily hugging in the grass and I know that's the money shot in her mind. She keeps asking me to shoot close ups of the baby in dad's arms while she pleads with her older daughter to pose with baby sister for the camera. Long story short, I spent an hour trying to get shots in addition to all the waiting I did that morning, but I managed to get some portrait-worthy shots. She hasn't paid me yet (I wasn't clear with her that she should have paid me on the day of the shoot; photo sessions I've bought myself required payment up front). I've spent 3 hrs so far touching up her photos, and she keeps asking me for tweaks, with no sign of payment. I have a feeling she's going to hold out on paying me until she's wheedled me into doing 10 hrs of editing for her. My written agreement was for at least 12 "lightly retouched" portraits. She has now received over 20 heavily retouched ones. I'm going to ask her tomorrow if there's a reason she hasn't paid me yet and clarify that I'd expected payment last Sunday. I'm starting to get really annoyed with her. I'll e-mail her offering to let her pay by Paypal (subtle hint) and I'll cover the fees, and she'll write back with more things for me to do and no sign of making payment. Honestly, I don't think she realizes how much I've let her take advantage of me. Soon, I will let her know.
Anyway, I actually came here to see if anyone was celebrating the election results. I'm happy. :} I think people are sick of seeing all my Likes of friends' statuses on FB. A lot of partying going on 'round there.

The twins did pretend voting in school today. They both voted for Obama, DD because "everyone else was voting for him" and DS because "I like his name and because we have a video called Baraka and because he's already president so he knows how to do the job." I asked him if he liked how the country was running, if he was doing a good job, and DS said, "Oh yes, it's very beautiful."
Toddler S, just proving my point and showing how difficult he is lately, said he would vote for Mitt Romney. Just because.

with Chris Bylsma
Don't let a beautiful sweater fall apart at the seams. Join Chris Bylsma as she teaches you the steps to stitch up any handknit seam, from cables to ribbing to cuffs. Learn the theories behind how horizontal and vertical seams work, giving you insight into the best ways to stitch them up. Youll love discovering new ways to finish your garment that will make your sweaters stronger and more stylish than ever!
Meet your instructor, Chris Bylsma, and learn the theory behind the cornerstone of seaming: the horizontal seam before Chris shows you how to master it.
Chris dissects and demonstrates more advanced horizontal seams including ribbing, cables and step shoulder seams.
Tackle side seams, which allow you to knit sweaters and other garments flat, work pieces one at a time, customize sizes between the front and back and add shaping.
Stripes, garter stitches and sleeves might seem challenging, but this lesson will show you how to create perfectly matching edges
Learn the theory behind combination seams and how to attach stitches that don't naturally line up.
Don't let sleeves create unwanted bulk on your sweaters! Learn how to attach even the most tricky sleeves.
Cuffs and live stitches may seem like obstacles, but this lesson will teach you how to work with unusual seams and finish your garment like a professional.
I would recommend this class to all knitters. A very practical class with great explanations. The visual aid drawings that Chris uses really help to explain the what and why of what is going on with the stitches. Love that the lessons are short and concise.

A Camano Island man discovered last week the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gives out more than Oscar awards, it gives out lawsuits as well. The Academy filed a federal lawsuit alleging Jim Dunne and another man in Florida exchanged a counterfeit or stolen Oscar through eBay.
The Academy did not return requests for comment.
According to the litigation, Dunne "acquired the Statuette from a moving sale" and promptly tried to sell it online. Soon, he took it off the website because, according to the Academy, "fearing that the Academy might learn of it".
Post-1950 Oscars are property of the Academy, which has the "right-of-first-refusal" to buy them back for between "$1 and $10".
Dunne told KING 5 he often sells items online, and only put the Oscar up for sale because he thought it was pre-1950 and "I'm safe". His post included concern about the award's authenticity.
He sold it to a man in Florida for $25,000 and said soon after, the buyer asked for and received a refund. Dunne said he then got more information the award might be fake.
It wasn't long before the Academy contacted him.
"The heading on the email was 'Stolen Oscar'," Dunne explained, "I went, 'oh crap.'"
The Academy's lawsuit states the award may have been stolen years ago from Aaron Rochin, who won for sound work on the 1978 movie, "The Deer Hunter".
Dunne said he told Academy attorneys he no longer had the award and that it was probably a fake.
"They're just a machine," Dunne said of the litigation, "Their funds are unlimited, so it doesn't matter if they crunch over the little people. Maybe that's what they do."

"I miss him so much," said Melissa. "I catch myself crying, but I know I have to be strong."Family members say a fund will soon be set up to help pay for Villneff's funeral expenses.

By Paul Lienert
DETROIT (Reuters) - This year's Detroit auto show, which opens next week, has a decidedly "green" theme. Green as in the color of money, that is.
An aura of luxury pervades many of the show's new models as automakers from Europe, Asia and the Motor City itself strive to bring more affluent consumers into showrooms. Whether one seeks a sedan, coupe or crossover, pricy new choices are not in short supply.
A familiar companion to luxury is performance. Exuding both traits is a hometown show-stopper, the redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Corvette from General Motors Corp.
The long-awaited Corvette has been generating considerable buzz ahead of the show. The latest edition of "America's sports car" is only the seventh generation in six decades — with a formal unveiling slated for Sunday night. It should begin reaching dealers in late summer. Pricing may be in the general realm of the current 2013 Corvette, which starts at $50,595.
A trio of expensive performance models from Europe, all priced from well over $100,000, is headed to the U.S. market in the coming year and they, too, will be on display at the show.
Leading the pack is the redesigned 2014 Maserati Quattroporte, which Chrysler's Italian parent, Fiat SpA
Also on view will be the potent 2014 BMW
The soft-top Bentley, which goes on sale in late summer, claims to be "the world's fastest convertible," thanks to a 616-horsepower 12-cylinder engine that pushes the all-wheel-drive two-door to a top speed of 202 miles per hour.
From Japan, Honda Motor Co <7267.T> will bring the latest concept version of its 2016 Acura NSX sports car, which aims to redefine performance with one of the world's first high-output hybrid drive systems.
The future NSX, which will enter production in two years, is a two-seater that will feature all-wheel drive, a mid-mounted V6 gasoline engine and three electric motors, producing a combined 500 horsepower.
For those well-heeled buyers slightly more concerned with image and looks than acceleration and top speed, a new mid-size sport coupe and three redesigned sport sedans will be on the show floor.
They include BMW's Concept 4 Series Coupe — essentially a reworked and renamed 3 Series two-door; the latest generation of Toyota Motor Corp's <7203.T> Lexus IS series, which competes head-to-head with the 3 Series; Nissan Motor Co's <7201.T> new Infiniti Q50, which replaces the outgoing G series later this year, and Hyundai Motor Co's <005380.KS> HCD-14 concept, which previews the next-generation Genesis sedan.
Showgoers will also get a look at the updated Mercedes-Benz E-class line from Daimler AG
Opulence spills over into the crossover segment, where VW's Audi affiliate will unveil its performance-oriented SQ5, Ford Motor Co's
Look also for a sneak preview of the redesigned 2014 Acura MDX, which will appear as a thinly disguised "concept."
GM's first luxury hybrid, the 2014 Cadillac ELR, will make its public debut at the show, about a year ahead of the projected on-sale date. The two-door ELR is an up market companion to the Chevrolet Volt and is likely to be priced above $60,000.
Among the more mainstream vehicles coming to the show are the Nissan Resonance, a preview of the redesigned 2014 Murano crossover; the Honda Urban SUV concept, which teases the redesigned 2014 Fit subcompact, and the Fiat 500L, a compact five-passenger people-mover that will be marketed as a companion to the tiny Fiat 500 hatchback.
A larger crossover, a seven-passenger model based on the Passat sedan and built in Tennessee, is expected from VW.
Toyota will provide a peek at the redesigned 2014 Corolla compact with its Furia concept, and Nissan will flesh out its compact Versa family with the new Versa Note hatchback.
Trucks remain a mainstay of the U.S. market, as evidenced by the public debut of the redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
They will be challenged by a concept version of the redesigned Ford F-150 pickup, with the production F-series truck still more than a year away.

ActiveForever carries a substantial amount of modified toilets, toilet aids and a number of creative bathroom ideas. All of which help immensely with issues of mobility and independent living.
Individuals that require assistance with personal concerns involving the bathroom and bathing issues, know the discussion extends far beyond the limited subject of "toilets."
Fortunately, ActiveForever knows this as well. So we've left no stone unturned while carefully and conscientiously creating an all-inclusive collection of top-quality bathroom helpers. No matter the disability or issue, we should be able to help. We've got simple solutions such as a Freedom Wand Toilet Tissue Aid and it's compatible extensions, as well as easy-to-change toilet paper holders; all of which make a big difference in comfort and ability.
Similarly, popular products such as the Adjustable Advantage Toilet Seat and the Deluxe Toilet Elevator, not only facilitate independence in regards to personal use of the bathroom, but perhaps more importantly, they make it a comfortable experience.
Perhaps nothing is easier than the iTouchless Automatic Toilet Seat. As the name suggests, it is an automated way to maintain cleanliness in the bathroom; a presumably welcome addition to any bathroom.
Then there's the brilliant and advanced, yet deceptively basic ROHO Toilet Seat Cushion that everyone's been talking about.
The ROHO suspends the individual over the seat on a pillow of air with individually inflatable sections. It properly positions the user over the toilet, counteracting asymmetrical "pelvic obliquity" and tilt.

Hi Guys,
I know its been a while but with the new PS4 coming out I thought it was a good idea to start talking about the best superman games that have been out on the playstation consols. Playstation has been out for years now but with the Playstation 3 we really started to see some great games. You can see below the graphics in the latest superman game on PS3. Obviously as you probably already know the new PS4 is out soon and the reviews and stats look to be very good. We have no news on any superman or small ville games yet but we hear its a possibility. Obviously we have been thinking about the theme of the new games and what to expect. Of course any new game should really give us a better feel of what its like to be able to fly as none of the games so far have seemed to capture that recently. Hopefully with the new PS4 we can expect to see some really good graphics and more real experience. All those who haven't, you can go here to pre order a PS4 here.
As seen above we are hoping for some improvements !
Check back laterz

I grab this spot for me! This is my first time so I don't know how much I will get done, but I'm looking forward to the challenges! Thanx!
It just means to enter a post in which you list your layouts. Get in earlier in the month, and you can have a "spot" near the top of the page. You keep editing your post as you add layouts during the month. Top of the page is better, so you don't have to scroll down too far.
Aha, I get it!
So if you are planning to do one or more challenges, you can put your message, even you didn't finish one.
To be sure: you don't have to do all 7 challenges?
I'll take this spot if nobody minds :)

With one challenge you had to build up a layout every week isn't it?
O well, I will see how far I get ;-)

Hey Bucks fans....iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's time for the Draft. Who in the hell will they pick. Shoot it's like a merry-go-round, who they will pick no one knows. Here is the first guy on the list, what list, seriously you want me to tell you where I get my info from....NOT.
So in the first gate is....Sergey Karasev. Who is that? Great question, better yet check out this link and tell me he's old enough looking to play in the NBA, he looks like he should be in High School. On a really sad note...he was born the year I started my Senior year in High School....wow, 20 that's so young.
In the second position according to my great source, my source isn't that great but I have to call them that so I can keep using them....back to the draft and next up is....Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Who is this, shooting guard out of Georgia. In this link you will see that he is compared to Kerry Kittles...Oh sweet Mary, mother and Joseph. Kerry Kittles....why not compare him to me...I shot the three just as good in my hay day but no, it's Kerry Kittles.
In third comes....Steven Adams . Again I know, you want to know about this guy....Big guy out of Pittsburgh. 7 footer, 255 lbs....seriously where is the next Shaq cause the Bucks should find him and make him theirs in this draft. But I give you Steven Adams.
So what does this all mean...easy the Bucks will not draft any of the three options I just gave you, they will draft some kid who plays power forward, no true center out there so they will draft a bunch, two guys in a position that they already have.
It's easy to draft...if you need a point guard, draft a guy who can dribble and drop dimes on your ass. Shooting guard...need I say any more than that...ok I will...draft a guy who can shoot. Need a small forward, draft a guy who can play the 2,3, and 4...hardest guy to draft. Power Forward, should be able to play Center if need be otherwise just be able to shoot ten footers and defend the paint like it's your babies crib and someone wants to take it. Center...seriously...Ideal would be 7'2" 300 lbs and will make you pay for coming into his house and will shock you at his footwork from about 11 feet away from the basket. So there you go, the sweet and easy draft model brought to you by ME.
Here's to hoping the Bucks will just stay in Milwaukee and here's another one to hoping they draft someone who can help them NOW. Good luck Senator...sorry Herb Kohl, former Senator owns them.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and in the sighty strange position of not having conceived yet so I hope you won't think I'm crazy for posting . I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I was told by my doctor that because of a pre-existing condition (pcos) that I have a 45% higher chance of developing pre eclampsia than the general public. I didn't know much about pre-e until now and I have to say the thought of dealing with it terrifies me. I feel a little silly dealing with purely 'what ifs' but it's really been on my mind.
My husband is of the opinion that we shouldn't take the chance because the possibilities of what could happen really scare him. He's not a worrier by nature - that's more my department. We have had our names down on the adoption list here for the last 2 years because I have a lower chance of getting pregnant anyway because of my pcos. It takes 5 years to adopt (we live outside the US) so we're almost half way through. I suppose I want to know if I'm being ridiculous worrying about this? At this stage my husband would rather not take the chance and would rather just go ahead with the adoption. I don't know what to think. Has anyone any advice? Many thanks
