There's no doubt that Edie Brickell's dreamy lyrics and shy yet versatile voice tended to overshadow the other talented New Bohemians during the band's late-'80s heyday. Nowadays, with Edie holed-up with her family on the East Coast, the rest of the band manages to keep quite busy. Percussionist/drummer John Bush plays in the Small Stars and Foamy, guitarist Kenny Withrow is often on tour as a sideman with bands like Everlast or the Spin Doctors, Sorta's Carter Albrecht was last seen touring with Charlie Sexton and Brad Houser and Brandon Aly play with Zydeco Blanco. But rest assured, more "full-band" activity is on the horizon. The New Bohemians' Web site teases with a newly recorded download, and the band members' MySpace pages are frequently updated. For faithful fans desperate for signs of life, it all points to a new album in the near future, but in the meantime, a more free-form show without Edie will do just fine.

An attorney for incarcerated New York rapper Remy Ma has filed an appeal requesting to have her eight year prison sentence dropped.
According to TMZ, Remy's lawyer pointed out various flaws in her recent summer trial when she was charged and placed behind bars for the shooting of acquaintance, Makeda Barnes-Joseph.
"THE TRIAL COURT'S ORDER FORBIDDING DEFENSE COUNSEL FROM ARGUING DURING SUMMATION THAT MAKEDA JOSEPH WAS SHOT DURING A STRUGGLE FOR THE GUN DENIED MS. SMITH A FAIR TRIAL," a document reads. "MS. SMITH WAS UNFAIRLY PREJUDICED BY THE INCLUSION IN THE INDICTMENT OF THE COUNTS REGARDING THE VIOLENT GANG ASSAULT AT THE PLAYER'S CLUB, AS TO WHICH THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF HER COMPLICITY, BUT WHICH LIKELY COLORED THE JURY'S CONSIDERATION OF THE REMAINING COUNTS."
In addition to claims of bias during the case, her attorney would like her possession of a weapon charge dropped.
"THE GUN POSSESSION CHARGE MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE PENAL LAW 265.03 UNQUALIFIEDLY BANS THE POSSESSION OF HANDGUNS OUTSIDE THE HOME," it reads. "OR PLACE OF BUSINESS AND IS THEREFORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL."
As previously reported by SOHH, the former Terror Squad member turned herself in to New York police in July 2007 for the shooting of Joseph outside a nightclub. Remy was later sentenced to an eight year bid last May and is currently beind held at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in Bedford Hills.

November 28, 2014
DETROIT (AP) - The founder of Domino's Pizza is suing the federal government over mandatory contraception coverage in the health care law.
Tom Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception isn't health care but a "gravely immoral" practice.
He filed a lawsuit Friday in federal court. It also lists as a plaintiff Domino's Farms, a Michigan office park complex that Monaghan owns.
Monaghan offers health insurance that excludes contraception and abortion for employees. The new federal law requires employers to offer insurance including contraception coverage or risk fines.
Monaghan says the law violates his rights, and is asking a judge to strike down the mandate. There are similar lawsuits pending nationwide.
A message left Saturday for Monaghan's attorney, Richard Thompson, was not immediately returned.
The government says the contraception mandate benefits women.

ARGOS — A pile of trash caught on fire at County Line Landfill Tuesday around 6 p.m., but was put out quickly according to Ryan Murphy, assistant fire chief at the Rochester Fire Department.
"Some trash on the hill caught on fire," said Murphy Wednesday, adding, "The cause of fire was never really determined — it could have been a hot load of ash or a cigarette."
Employees of the landfill noticed the fire, and called 911. Murphy said that firefighters were only on the scene for about 40 minutes.
After losing 18 players to graduation last year, Bremen's young squad was already facing a learning curve at the start of the season. With injuries to key players in Weeks 2 and 3, the Lions have been forced to make even more adjustments on the fly.
Plymouth puts away Clay
Plymouth's volleyball team moved a game over .500 Tuesday night with a lopsided 25-8, 25-20, 25-11 win over visiting Clay at The Rock.
Marissa German, Hunter Stevens and Amber Redinger each put down six kills for the Lady Pilgrims, while German also recorded a balanced six digs behind Andria Shook's 10.
Shook served up four aces, Haley Harrell dished out 21 assists, and Carly Baker tallied five blocks for Plymouth, which moved to 6-5 on the season.
The JV and freshmen Lady Pilgrims also earned wins Tuesday.

Plymouth man denies sexual misconduct with teen
PLYMOUTH — A nearly two-month investigation has resulted in the arrest of a Plymouth man on charges of having sex with a minor.
Brock Biddle, 26, Plymouth, told police he never had sex with an underage girl and believed that she was 18.
The girl alleges that shortly after her 15th birthday in March the two become involved.
Biddle was booked in the Marshall County Jail Sunday and held on a $10,000 bond with a charge of sexual misconduct, a class B felony.

CULVER – You may remember when "positive thinking" was the byword of the day. Advocates such as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking, recommended surrounding yourself with positive affirmations to counteract the negative influences of life. This reporter was not above looking in the bathroom mirror and repeating the mantra "I am the best I can be. Today will be the best day of my life."

Social & Organizational psychology
Welcome to the department of Social and Organizational Psychology
'Science is about the truth, about progress and about innovation. This is what makes science so exciting. The science of social and organizational psychology makes it even more exciting - because it addresses the reality we experience on a daily, and sometimes even on an hourly basis. Imaginary or real, people often find themselves in social situations - with strangers, with colleagues, with friends, with close partners. These social interactions can be quite challenging - and sometimes even puzzling ("why did she do that to me?") How do we deal with strangers? Do we trust them? Does our image or reputation matter? What is it that makes people able to control their impulses, and "count till ten" or take the longer time perspective? Are people inherently selfish? How do people see themselves, and do we see other people are selfish? And how can we promote unselfish, cooperative actions in people? Do we need strong leaders to bring about cooperation in groups and organizations? Should leaders always give "voice" to people to maintain trust and promote cooperation? How important is justice? And are reward and punishment equally important in promoting cooperation?
Research in our department is about Trust, Leadership, and Cooperation (TLC). The department adopts psychological, interdependence, and evolutionary approaches to comprehensively understand human cognition, emotion, and behavior in social settings. And the department feels strongly about the applicability of our findings, realizing that increasing our knowledge about trust, leadership, and cooperation is essential to understanding social behavior in relationships, groups, or organizations. We want to understand things that matter: It is our conviction that the social and organizational aspects of human life is what matters most meaningfully to most people, at least most of the time.'

In 1982, the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze interviewed the Palestinian author Elias Sanbar, founder of the Journal of Palestine Studies (La Revue d'Études Palestiniennes). They examine the importance of the journal and the existence of the people and land of Palestine. Disgracefully, over 30 years later, these discussions are still despairingly relevant to today's climate.
We have waited a long time for an Arab journal in French, but instead of coming from North Africa, it's being done by the Palestinians. La Revue d'Études Palestiniennes has two characteristics obviously centered on Palestinian problems which also concern the entire Arab world. On the one hand it presents very profound socio political analyses in a masterful yet calm tone. On the other hand, it mobilizes a specifically Arab literary, historical and sociological "corpus" which is very rich and little known.
-Gilles Deleuze, 1982
The renowned historian Shlomo Sand - author of The Invention of the Jewish People and The Invention of the Land of Israel - was interviewed by the French magazine Télérama in 2009. The recent re-publication of this French interview still contains powerful responses to the violence that we see in Gaza today. How can we still be asking the same questions 5 years on? Both then and now, Sand continues to be one of the few Israeli intellectuals – even on the Left – who has continued to condemn the bombardment of Gaza.
Israeli public opinion supports the (2008-2009) Gaza War. You are a dissonant voice...
I have reached the peak of my academic career, I have nothing to lose and I am not afraid. Of course, yes, I do feel very alone. But do not forget that almost ten thousand young people demonstrated in Tel Aviv on 3 January. Even in 2006, at the beginning of the war against Hezbollah, there was no mobilisation of such an extent. It was a very politicised demonstration, with the far Left as well as the Israeli Arabs who live in Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
The latest Israeli military attacks in Gaza, dubbed 'Operation Protective Edge', is the third major offensive on the Gaza Strip in six years. Before the July 2014 offensive, the last large-scale escalation was in November 2012, when the Israeli military bombarded the Gaza Strip with air strikes for eight days. Those strikes killed 171 Palestinians, including more than 100 civilians. In 2008-2009, Israeli soldiers launched a 22-day military operation in Gaza, dubbed Operation Cast Lead. About 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed. [source: Aljazeera]

As the latest attacks intensify, and the number of civilian deaths continue to rise, it seems more pertinent than ever to understand the political motivations behind these assaults and, more importantly, how Israel have been able to carry out such atrocities without intervention. Here, we present a list of books from Israeli and Palestinian authors, to explain the conflict and consider what the future might hold. All books on this list are available for direct purchase, at discounts of 30% for hardcovers, 40% for paperbacks, and 50% for ebooks. Additionally, for a limited time, you can download the ebook of the trenchant anthology The Case for Sanctions Against Israel for free.

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop singer whose become a worldwide teen sensation. Justin began his professional career on YouTube, where he was discovered by his future manager, Scooter Braun. Braun flew Bieber to Atlanta, Georgia, where he consulted with Usher and soon signed a record deal with Island.
Each year they evaluate the highest-earning entertainers under the age of 30, and for 2014 Justin Bieber is the reigning champion.
Though he got into all kinds of trouble over the course of the past 12 months, the "One Less Lonely Girl" still managed to pull in a whopping $80 million.
It's no secret that he's a bit of a lothario, but Justin Bieber apparently hasn't won the affections of model-of-the-moment Kendall Jenner.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie told "Nightline" that the reports of romance between her and the "Baby" singer are totally false.
He's developed a bit of a reputation as a troublemaker and Justin Bieber is in hot water with an Argentinian court of law.
According to The Guardian, the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer has been targeted by magistrate Facundo Cubas after he was accused of assaulting a photographer.
He's a complicated guy to say the least, and Justin Bieber looks to be transitioning from one Hollywood starlet to another.
First, the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer unfollowed Selena Gomez on Instagram, taking his total number of follows from 45 to 44.
Combining their heartthrob powers for pop music greatness, Justin Bieber and Cody Simpson just released their first tag-team track called "Home to Mama."
The "As Long as You Love Me" Canadian crooner and the "Pretty Brown Eyes" Aussie star take turns singing on the ditty while Simpson shows off his guitar chops.
Sometimes it's best to just swallow your pride and move on, and Justin Bieber is putting an end to his feud with his neighbor.
The "One Less Lonely Girl" singer has reportedly paid the guy next door $80,000 in restitution for aggressively egging his house back in January and he's on the road to controlling his quick temper.
He's had a pretty rough year, but that's not stopping Justin Bieber from being one of the coolest older brothers in the world.
The "One Less Lonely Girl" hunk posted a photo of himself and his 4-year-old brother Jaxon, both all dressed up as the red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.
Though he's already 20 years old, Justin Bieber certainly still enjoys some of the trappings of his childhood.
On Wednesday (October 22) the "All That Matters" singer uploaded a photo of himself in a bubble bath via his official Shots account.
She's always been happy to stay out of the public eye for the most part, but now Pattie Mallette is standing up to haters who think she doesn't do enough to defend her pop star son Justin Bieber.
On Sunday (October 5), Ms. Mallette called out TMZ for slamming Mariah Carey's less-than-stellar tour kickoff in Japan.
These days their relationship status is always changing, and it looks like Justin Bieber is once again on the outs with Selena Gomez.
However, on Sunday (October 5) the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer posted a special photograph via Instagram to try and get his lady's attention.

It all started with a trip gone awry. My mom scheduled a much-anticipated French getaway to Paris with an old friend, and then, late in the game, her friend pulled out. But the romantic, Kir Royale and back-alley bistro dreams had already taken hold—staying home in suburbia was not an acceptable alternative. She needed a plan B fast, and luckily, I knew just what to do.

It takes a certain amount of audacity to deep-fry butter, bacon, and beer, but let's face it: The State Fair of Texas is not a destination for those seeking subtle flavors (nor is it the place to kick off your new diet). The staggering variety and abundance of food, most of it designed to eat while roaming about, is not for the faint of heart. "The food at the State Fair of Texas is one of the best state fair food experiences in the country," says Andrew Zimmern, host of the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern."

Denver Concert Wars: The Next Chapter.
In early 1998, mere months after Universal Concerts took over the Fey Concerts empire following the semi-retirement of scene king Barry Fey, longtime Fey associate Chuck Morris and Bill Graham Presents, a venerable West Coast firm, joined forces to create Bill Graham Presents/ Chuck Morris Presents, an outfit that seemed fully capable of challenging Universal for Colorado supremacy. Morris attempted to downplay battle rhetoric back then, claiming in these pages that his new enterprise would be a "boutique" company that would handle only about ten to twenty shows per annum--but that's not the way things have turned out. BGP/CMP did around fifty shows last year, including high-profile dates with the likes of Blues Traveler and Bonnie Raitt, and inked an exclusive pact last November to book the World Arena in Colorado Springs (Feedback, November 5, 1998). And now, after months of speculation, Morris and his associates are putting the finishing touches on a deal to purchase the Mammoth Events Center, a space at 1510 Clarkson that first opened its doors back in the late 1800s.
Although Morris declines to discuss the dollars and cents BGP/CMP is paying current Mammoth owners Manuel and Maggie Fernandez for the property, which has a capacity of just under 4,000, he doesn't deny that the total is in the seven-figure range. But getting Mammoth up to snuff is clearly going to be an even more expensive proposition. Simply put, the Events Center is cursed with some of the poorest acoustics of any music venue in these United States--and worse, the sonic difficulties change from night to night, artist to artist and location to location within the building itself. An example was an August 1998 turn by the Verve. From my spot on the floor, the concert actually exceeded minimum acoustic standards, making it probably the only gig I've seen at Mammoth over the past several years that did. But one of my colleagues standing elsewhere at the performance reported that the sound seemed as crummy as ever to him--and no doubt it was. The situation was reversed a few weeks later, when Bauhaus swung through Mammoth as part of its Resurrection Tour. A companion and I moved several times over the course of the show but never found a place where the music was anything other than horribly muddy. However, a co-worker who sat in the balcony opposite the stage told me that the band sounded okay to him.
To his credit, Morris doesn't downplay Mammoth's annoying idiosyncrasies. "It definitely needs some spit and polish," he says. "There's a lot of great acoustical engineers who will be involved in this project, and they're going to do certain things that I think will help. For one thing, we're moving the stage to the far end of the building, and we'll also be using some acoustical tiles and putting in a permanent sound and light system." He adds, "There are a lot of problems, but we're going to correct them. It'll cost a good chunk of change--there's no question about that--but I would not go into something like this if I wasn't prepared to do what needs to be done. We're going to dramatically alter a lot of things about the room, especially the sound."
By the same token, Morris is thrilled by Mammoth's dimensions--bigger than a theater but smaller than an arena. "This is the right room for the 21st-century music business for a lot of reasons," he insists. "There aren't a lot of arena acts that have come up and stayed as arena acts lately. Instead, there are a lot of groups on the rise and a lot of classic acts that have maybe faded a little bit but are still doing more business than lots of kiddie acts out there. On top of that, there are some theater acts, like Lyle Lovett, who would be perfect for this room. It's where the business has been going, and we're going there with it."
(Don't be surprised if Universal Concerts makes a similar maneuver in the near future. According to several reliable sources, the company is on the cusp of announcing an agreement to oversee event booking at a pair of facilities at the University of Denver: the hockey rink that's nearing completion and an on-campus ballroom. At press time, Mark Norman, head of Universal's Denver division, was unavailable to comment on these rumors.)
Other Mammoth modifications could be forthcoming: This week, Morris will be in San Francisco, Bill Graham Presents' home base, to discuss the feasibility of renaming the Events Center in honor of the Fillmore, a Graham-owned venue associated with the birth of psychedelia. Music-community buzz suggests that BGP/CMP has already decided to "close the room"--meaning that other promoters will not be allowed to use it--but Morris insists that no decision on this topic has yet been made. (He dismisses speculation to the contrary as "paranoia.") As for the boutique question, he dodges it with the sort of skill that Bill Clinton would envy. "We don't have a 16,000-seat amphitheater, and we're still picking and choosing the shows that we do," he says. "We don't book every band that comes to Denver. But we will be doing a bunch more shows--probably 60 to 75 at Mammoth in the next calendar year, including the Latino events that have been so successful for them, and a lot of things at other venues, too.

DEKALB, Ill. (AP) -- Northern Illinois University has formed a task force to implement White House recommendations on sexual assault prevention.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1w6fmA7 ) University President Doug Baker announced the creation of the group Wednesday. The 20 members met for the first time this week and are expected to do so regularly over the next three months.
Their recommendations for strengthening the university's sexual assault policies are due in October.
Baker says the decision to form the task force came after a White House report reviewed complaints about how some universities treated campus rape victims.
He says NIU wants to be proactive.
University data shows there were 11 forcible sexual assaults at NIU's DeKalb campus in 2012, up from six in 2011.

USA, 2005 (MIFF 2006, Documentaries)
Director: Sydney Pollack
Intimate and engaging, Sydney Pollack's first documentary outing is an utterly personal profile of one of the world's leading architects.
Best known for the breathtaking Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, world-renowned architect Frank Gehry is a living rejection of the adage that form should follow function. Practising a style that falls more within the realm of sculpture than architecture, Gehry composes his buildings of sweeping curves and odd angles, bringing a unique playfulness to his designs.
In Sketches of Frank Gehry, close friend Sydney Pollack provides a deftly drawn picture of Gehry, profiling his life and teasing out the architect's artistic process. Pollack takes an unpretentious layman's approach to architecture, seeking to understand the basic processes underpinning Gehry's designs.
In addition to presenting a profile of Gehry's life and methods, Sketches provides an impressive, lovingly photographed showcase of the architect's most striking works, including the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

TD 35mm/2005/83mins
Sydney Pollack was born in Lafayette, the USA, in 1934. His many films include Tootsie (1982), Out of Africa (1985) and The Firm (1993).

Washington's wolves
Wolves have returned home on their own to Washington, after more than 70 years' absence. A state wolf recovery plan and funding for conflict prevention tools help them recover.
Canis lupus
Early settlers described gray wolves as common to Washington and speculated that one or more wolf packs may have made their homes in each of the major river valleys in the state. By the 1900s, after years of animosity towards predators and government-sponsored bounty payments, wolves were gone from much of the Northwest.
Welcome home, Washington's wolves
That changed in the 2000s as wolves started coming back naturally to Washington from wolf populations in British Columbia and Idaho. In 2008, cameras operated by a Conservation Northwest Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Program volunteer captured the first images of wolf pups born in Washington in nearly a century.
As of the summer of 2014, the Washington State Department of Wildlife estimates there are a minimum of 52 wolves in Washington, with 13 confirmed packs. However, the future of Washington's wolves is not yet assured, and their recovery is still precarious.
Conservation Northwest believes Washington can be the state where natural wolf recovery works in the long run; for people, wolves and all the Northwest's wildlife. But to achieve this goal it will take hard work, respect and compromise from stakeholders on all sides.
- Washington's Wolves on Facebook
- Talking points on Washington wolf recovery
- Wolves and ranches can coexist
- Summer 2014 Range Riders Update
- What we do for wolves!
- Wolf press
- Wolf timeline
Protection status
Gray wolves are currently listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in the western two-thirds of Washington state, which includes the Lookout, Teanaway and Wenatchee Packs of the Cascades. Though state protections remain, wolves have been federally delisted in the eastern third of Washington state.
Management of the species is governed by the state's Wolf Management Plan until the species hits recovery objectives for breeding packs and overall wolf numbers.
What we are doing
Conservation Northwest is the premier group working on recovery of Washington's wolves. We have:
- Gained $1 million for wolf-livestock conflict prevention in Washington State
- Sale of special license plates to fund conflict prevention and tools started in October 2013
- Current funding of three range riders in Washington, following the successful first range rider in 2012
- In 2013, continue to serve on a working group advising WDFW on implementing the state's wolf plan
- Helped shape the 2011 wolf plan, serving on a governor-appointed Wolf Working Group and organizing citizens to speak up for science-based recovery
- Defeated state legislation harmful to wolves
Together we can recover wolves in the Northwest, protect and connect habitat, and secure a future for this important wild predator. We are:
- Actively monitoring wolf packs around the state
- Hosting educational forums for ranchers and landowners, and presentations on learning to live with wolves
- Helping stop poaching, by training citizen "Eyes in the Woods", posting reward flyers and contributing to a reward fund to deter poachers
More on wolves
- Canis lupus, the gray wolf, is the largest of the canines, 2 to 3 times the size of a coyote.
- Wolves once lived around the state, including the Olympic Peninsula, where their loss has led to big changes in the courses of rivers, vegetation, and other wildlife.
- Wolves have excellent hearing and a keen sense of smell. They hunt and socialize in family groups known as packs.
- Washington has a known population of about 50-100 wolves, distributed now in 10 confirmed packs around the state.
- Some of the wolves documented in the Cascades have had their DNA traced to wolves in coastal British Columbia. They have also been documented eating salmon!
- Sprawl and development spells loss of habitat for wolves and their prey; but overall, the greatest threat to wolves is people's fear and misunderstanding about them.
- More than 75% of Washington residents queried in a 2008 wildlife poll supported recovery of Washington's wolves
- As a top carnivore, the gray wolves, along with other predators such as the bears and cougars, control prey populations so that a landscape may support a healthy ecosystem.
- Wolves play a vital role in maintaining the health of big game by culling sick animals and promoting stable ungulate populations. Biologists tell us that herds of big game - from elk to deer - are healthier with wolves in the habitat than without.
- Wolves, which returned on their own to Washington, are also coming back to Oregon and, so far, a single wolf to California.

Fox, John Jr: The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. V1. 10 Feb 2013
John Fox, Jr. (December 16, 1862 - July 8, 1919) was an American journalist, novelist, and short story writer.
Even the geese in the creek seemed to know that he was a stranger and to distrust him, for they cackled and, spreading their wings, fled cackling up the stream. As he neared the house, the little girl ran around the stone chimney, stopped short, shaded her eyes with one hand for a moment and ran excitedly into the house. A moment later, the bearded giant slouched out, stooping his head as he came through the door.

Suddenly I�m excited about my weight loss plan. I did something today I wasn�t sure I would ever do again: I danced a reel.
Almost 14 years ago, I took up Irish dancing. As I struggled with a difficult divorce, I focused steadily on my keeping my children�s routines � school, dance, sports � as consistent as possible. My daughters, then 10 and 8, took Irish dance lessons and were very involved with it. We had all found that there was something magical about dancing the steps of our forebears, the steps that had been handed down so carefully, a tradition that stretches back over hundreds of years. So when my friend Kathi suggested I join the adult class, I thought I�d give it a shot.
I was hesitant, of course. I wasn't feeling great about myself, and I had gained weight juggling single motherhood and a demanding job. I worried about looking like one of Disney�s dancing hippos, hopping around in a Celtic costume instead of a tutu. I consulted my doctor, who was a big proponent of exercise. Was I being ridiculous, a 40-year-old woman, jumping around thinking she could do Riverdance? He just laughed at me. Don�t worry about what people think, just do whatever floats your boat, he said. Exercise needs to be a lifetime habit, and it�s hard to build a lifetime habit if you don�t love what you�re doing.
And it�s been a love affair ever since. Yes, getting up on my toes for the first time meant months of shin splints. I had some issues with plantar fasciitis until I dropped the extra weight. But this was a small price to pay for the absolute joy of moving to the rhythm of the music. I�ll never star in Riverdance, but I did have a satisfying eight-year run of competition, winning over 100 medals in solo and team dancing. It was exactly what the doctor ordered, so to speak, because I not only gained a much-loved habit, but it helped heal my self-esteem, as I spent time with my children and my friends in a community activity as old as time.
When I left the Bay Area to move home to Michigan, I left my community and competitive dancing behind. My job kept me extremely busy, and learning to deal with winter all over again was a challenge. But we all know what happens when you focus too much on a desk job and not enough on your health. I ballooned to 216 pounds. Dance was just a memory.
Last October, I decided it was time to do something about it. I�ve been on a weight loss journey since then, and I�m proud to say I�ve lost 46 pounds, and I�m back to 170, the weight that I last danced at. I�m running a lot right now � a lot for me, anyways, about 18 miles a week. I joined SparkPeople last week because my weight loss has slowed to a crawl � the last couple of months have been pretty much a constant plateau, cycling from 170 to 176 and back again. In the last couple of days, I�ve been reading a lot. I upped my caloric intake from 900 calories a day to 1300 and added a goal to drink a gallon of water every day, and for the first time the scale is showing some positive movement. I�m preparing to add some strength training soon, but I had another idea tickling the back of my mind: a return to dance.
Then SparkGuy posted �Hit Like if you will take any small steps to reach your goals this weekend.� SMALL steps?? I thought? I had been thinking more along the lines of a BIG step. It has been a while since I thought about taking a small step � but I realized, maybe that was one of my problems. Maybe I needed a small step. A small step to shake things up.
So today I pulled out my old warm-up routines. I opened iTunes and sorted my Irish music to pull up a selection of reels. I knew I couldn�t dance �all-out� yet, because it will take time to get the muscles back. But I got through the warm-ups. It didn�t take long to remember the footwork; I already have a step of reel and a step of slip jig back in my feet. Boy did I sweat! I�d forgotten exactly how much energy it takes. And I can already tell that I�ll have to strengthen those abs to compensate for all the lower-back strength that Irish takes.
What I learned today is that starting with something small can make a huge difference. Thank you, SparkGuy, for your insightful question. I�ve spent the afternoon floating on a cloud, remembering good times with close friends, remembering successes � and remembering that nothing stops us except ourselves.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- Another powerful earthquake has struck the Solomon Islands, the second strong temblor of the day to hit the South Pacific country.
The magnitude-7.7 quake struck at 11:36 p.m. local time Sunday, with an epicenter 328 kilometers (204 miles) southeast of Honiara, the capital, and a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
On Sunday morning, a magnitude-7.6 quake in the same area triggered large waves in the Solomon Islands.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from either quake.
Following the first earthquake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled a tsunami warning after issuing an alert for some Pacific islands.
The Solomon Islands was already reeling from flash floods that struck April 3, killing 23 people and leaving 9,000 homeless.
A tsunami warning has been issued for some Pacific islands following a powerful magnitude-7.6 earthquake near the Solomon Islands.
The United States Geological Service said the quake struck around 7:14 a.m. local time Sunday. Its epicenter was 323 kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Honiara, the Solomons capital, and its depth was 29.3 kilometers (18.2 miles).
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a warning for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea. The center says it's not known if the quake generated a tsunami but it was powerful enough to trigger one.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the temblor.
The Solomon Islands lies on the "Ring of Fire" -- an arc of earthquake and volcanic activity that stretches around the Pacific Rim.

Loverdose starts out sharp on my skin, like anise or licorice. It then settles down after 15 minutes & the beautiful spicy florals come out in full force with the vanila scent wafting through it. Kind of like spice & flowers being carried along on a vanilla cloud. It's sweet too but not cloyingly sweet. On me it dries down & takes on a warm, powdery quality which is why i give it only 4 stars. I wish the dry down would have included a little bit more spice & less powder.This perfume can be worn day or night & i think can also be worn at work. A great scent

I absolutely love Loverdose! It great for those cold and frosty winter days and will keep you feeling all warm and cozy. I haven't smelled anything quite like it. The only negative I can think of is that it can be a little overpowering when just applied. The smell is very strong.
It starts with a strong mixture of licorice and star anise. After about an hour or so those tend to fade for me and I can distinguish a tinge of jamsmin, some woody notes and a teeny tiny bit of the mandarin. When all the sillage has gone you can still smell a lovely vanilla on your skin.

It's a bit on the young and sweet side for me; it is a pretty, non offensive, gentle scent that can be worn to work or school with no fear of offending others. It has a strong vanilla undertone. I do like that it's not fruity or flowery, but also not a strong gourmand like Angel or Tobacco Vanille, which can be overpowering. No idea why, but strong vanilla scents are making me break out, and I have another rash on my wrist where I apply it. It's why I had to return Candy by Prada, and why I wouldn't buy this again. Not my most favorite scent and it gives me hives!

I recieved the eau de parfum as a graduation present from my nana of all people ( must have been a good sales assistant)! I did not expect anything from this product as I had never heard of it or anything diesel. I decided it would be my second rate purfume which I would wear to work everyday. However I was blown away by how much I love the scent, it even seems to suit me and I have recieved countless compliments. the purfume lasts for hours it smells of strong liquorish and vanilla when you first spray it but once it settles it has a sweet lingering of vanilla, mandarin with a suttle floral hint. And maybe it even dose have pheromone properties the boys seem to standing way too close.LOL. I love this purfume and will purchase again.
"Be aware! Contains "Molecule A": known to stimulate endless addiction to love".
If you are a fan or amarni code or mochinino I love love you might like this purfume.

This is definitely one of my favorite perfume, along with juicy couture's. I think it smells like a mix of black licorice and vanilla. For the lasting, IT DOES last. Once i sprayed it on my scarf and it smelled for a week! It's a sweet scent -and it gets sweeter as it fades- but sometimes i think its kind of a strong scent. Suits better for the night but great for the day too!

I've only ever owned two perfumes in my life, one I got for Christmas at age 16 and this perfume I recently purchased (I usually just buy body sprays). I really like it. I'm a sucker for sweet candy/vanilla scents and I like this because it's just a little bit muskier than most of the sweet scents on the market.
Some people are saying this is a night out perfume but I really don't care! I'm wearing this baby out every single day. It was damn expensive so might as well get as much use out of it as possible :)

I realy like this. The dark scent lasts for a couple of hours. After that it becomes more light. I actually like the light scent better, because it has a nice smell of vanilla. I think this scent is best for night time. The packaging is really nice, it's the prettiest packaging i have seen.

This is really delicate and delicious, a lovely day to day perfume that's just musky enough to avoid being girly. Also, the bottle is beautiful!

Helicopter used to scare dog back to shore from icy Lake Michigan
By SUN-TIMES MEDA WIRE March 8, 2014 10:59AM
Updated: March 8, 2014 7:17PM
Crews used a helicopter Saturday to scare a dog into coming inland off the ice of Lake Michigan.
Responding to a call around 7:30 a.m. of a dog on the ice off the lake near North Avenue, Chicago firefighters spotted the pooch about 100 yards offshore.
Using a helicopter, they were able to spook the dog and drive it back to land.
But the dog took off, eluding firefighters' attempts to corral it for about an hour, racing north about a mile, up to Fullerton Avenue, and running back onto the ice several times, fire department spokesman Juan Hernandez said.


text: Germany and US Criticize Donetsk Referendum, Russia Expects Invitation Print article Send a Tip by Mary Chastain 6 May 2014 post a comment The "People's Donetsk Republic" and Luhansk plan on a referendum on Sunday, May 11, even though the Associated Press reported there are "no visible preparations for the vote." Germany and the United States lashed out at the referendum, while Russia claimed it is expecting an invitation to observe the election. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said Germany believes this referendum will only worsen the situation in Ukraine, as Reuters reports: "Such a referendum, against the Ukrainian constitution, does not calm things down but escalates them," Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news conference, adding that the people who had called the vote had no democratic legitimacy. The U.S. State Department said America will not recognize the vote: "This is the Crimea playbook all over again. No civilized nation will recognize the results. And if Russia takes the next step to re-enact its illegal Crimea annexation in eastern or southern Ukraine and sends more forces over the border, harsh US and EU sanctions will follow," US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters. The referendum planned by separatists in the eastern Donbass region is similar to the one that preceded Russia's annexation of Crimea. Psaki called it "a bogus independence referendum," adding, "We flatly reject this illegal effort to further divide Ukraine." Kiev scheduled a new presidential election on May 25 after parliament ousted Russia-backed President Viktor Yanukovych on February 22. In mid-April, pro-Russian forces seized government buildings in the city of Donetsk in Donetsk Oblast and declared the region independent of Ukraine. The forces in charge chose to hold a referendum on May 11. The Donetsk People's Republic Central Elections Commission head Roman Liahin said they expect over 3 million votes on Sunday and no international observers: "We have 3.2 million voters and we have printed approximately the same number of ballot papers. As of now, we have 2,224 polling stations but we will merge some of them and have about 1,200 polling stations in the end," Liahin said. "We do not invite observers but we do not reject anyone either. We are always glad to have guests and we are ready to show the entire world that our referendum is honest and free. International observers have not filed their applications so far," Liahin continued. However, Russian media are reporting observers from Russia will be on hand for the May 11 referendums. Russian Public Chamber member Georgy Federov said a small group will attend. "We're going to go to a small group, as a large number of observers may be unsafe," he stated. A few people have made the decision to go, Federov continued, saying, "I of the Public Chamber of Russia and several other community members." The voting will be from 8:00 a.m to 10:00 p.m. local time. The ballot contains one question and does not include Ukraine or Russia. Instead, the question is: "Do you support the act of state independence of the Donetsk People's Republic?"

Whether youre looking to upgrade your kitchen or to have the best possible result on a buffet line, this commercial-grade induction cooktop is a great choice. It uses inductive heating, in which electricity flows through a coil to produce a magnetic field under the ceramic cooktop plate. When ferromagnetic cookware is placed on the ceramic surface, the current induced in the cookware produces instant heat that goes directly to the pan only. Since there are no open flames, the induction cooktop is safer than a conventional burner. Once the cookware is removed, all heating stops immediately. It features SmartScan® technology that ensures the proper voltage and recognizes the type and shape of the cookware you place on the cooktop. You can choose between a 20-setting power mode or a precisely calibrated temperature mode with a range from 90440°F. The large LED power/temperature display provides information in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The high technology is user friendly, though, using a simply knob-set thermostat control. With a 6-ft. power cord and voltage protection, the cooktop will perform in a variety of settings, including food service facilities, cooking demonstrations, catering and buffets. FCC/CETL/ETL and NSF-4 certified; overall dimensions are 12.6in.L x 15.16in.W x 4.53in.H.
Manufacturer Warranty:
1 year Limited Warranty
Cooking technology continues to improve and if you have induction-style cooktops, some cookware won't work. This versatile 11-pc. stainless steel set is induction-ready and suitable for all cooking surfaces. The polished stainless steel interiors and exteriors are food-safe and easy to clean, while the pans include an aluminum core for superior heat conductivity and retention. You get a 5-qt. stock pot, 1- and 2-qt. sauce pans and an 8.5in. frying pan, all with tempered glass lids, along with a solid spoon, slotted spoon and slotted spatula. Whether you purchase it as a starter set for new homeowners or to supplement your own kitchen, you'll have a set that provides superior performance.

Rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson hit David Letterman last night to promote her new album The Party Ain't Over. The 73-year-old singer was joined by Jack White and his Third Man House Band for a performance of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates' 1960s hit "Shakin' All Over."
Even Letterman seemed a bit stunned over the rockin' cover blasting through the row of Fender Twin Reverb amps.
"Oh my God," he exclaimed. "Holy Crap. Whoa!! Who was doing that? Oh my God. Oh my goodness."
Letterman then asked for more and so Jackson and the band closed out the show with another verse.

|I'm introducing my tomatoe, cucumber, eggplant, watermelon, honeydew, etc seedlings to the outisde. I placed them outside today in morning sunlight for about 4 hours. I noticed that some of the leaves started to turn yellow and may have been crisping because of the direct sun. I quickly placed them in the shade (still outisde). My questions are 1) will they be able to recover? (The yellowing isn't extensive and seems to be mostly on the cotyledons and not on the true leaves.) 2) Should I place them in the sun tomorrow for a fewer amount of hours, more hours or should I not place them in the sun at all tomorrow? 3) How many days will it take for the seedlings to develop enough photoreceptor cells so that they do not crisp/burn? 4) What should the incremental increase in hours of direct sunlight exposure be per day? Note: I plan on bringing them in at night bc temps still fall down into the 40's/50's.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Lots of discussions here about how-to harden off if you want to read through some of them. There is a FAQ as well. Will they recover? Most likely although you will likely lose the leaves that were damaged.
You'll discover in the reading that bringing them in and out stresses the plants and doesn't result in actual hardening off as they have to keep adjusting to the environmental changes. That is why it is recommended that it begin only a week or so prior to your plant out time. It is best to wait until the nights are consistently in the 50s so that once they go out they can remain out except in cases of severe storms and such and then they can be brought in if needed for that brief period.
As a general guide hardening off takes a week to 10 days and depends on what set up you have for doing it. It is a very gradual process done only for an hour or so the first day gradually increasing the time. Beginning with shade then partial sun and into full sun only after they are well adjusted.
Also keep in mind that winds are as damaging to them as sun so some sort of protection may be required to block wind.
|I'm definitely a new guy at gardening, but I was wondering what was wrong with hardening off the veggies as it says in the FAQ's? Is that not an ok way to do it. I was going to start that way tomorrow with my Brussel Sprouts and Onions that have been growing under lights for three weeks...
|what was wrong with hardening off the veggies as it says in the FAQ's?
No problem with it at all if you can make that particular method work for you and if you follow it in detail. As I said above it all depends on what set-up you have available to you. Some have screened in porches, some have a shady under-deck, some have lots of shade trees, many have none, some are more exposed to high winds than other places, etc. You have to evaluate your hardening off environment individually.
For example under a laundry basket sitting under a shade tree is very different from under that same laundry basket in the middle of a treeless front yard.
|Thanks for clearing that up Dave. I should be fine I'm assuming. I have no trees and an open yard. This year is a big trial and error phase for me. I have about 25 peppers (bhut, sweet, habanero) all coming up. As well as sprouts and onions.
Everything seems to be doing very well under 16 hours of light a day. The last thing I want to do is lose them because I didn't harden them off correctly. Thanks again for the info...
|I just want to mention that peppers don't do real well in cool weather. I'd err on the side of getting them out a little late than a little early.

My family really enjoyed the show, both adults and kids. It was great that kids got to sit up front. The show was very funny, and the music was good. The cast was super friendly after the show. My only criticism was some of the costumes were pretty poor quality. The venue is great, with popcorn for $1!

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- Officials at Zimbabwe's main art gallery say six African artifacts stolen in 2006 are back on display after a "sting" operation in Poland by FBI and CIA law enforcement agents.
National Art Gallery curator Lillian Chaonwa said Friday a suspect tried to sell the art to an unnamed American buyer who alerted U.S. authorities. She said a man convicted of the theft has since been jailed.
The artifacts included two tribal face masks and four intricately carved wooden headrests from the early 20th Century believed to have had mystical properties during sleep.
Chaonwa said African museums were being targeted by thieves knowing the value and rarity of the continent's works of art to collectors.
She had posted images of the missing works on the Internet.

eBay Find of the Day: Teutel Senior's Camaro-based 2011 Pontiac Trans Am Hurst Edition

Looks like American Chopper star Paul Teutel, Sr. has decided his 2011 Pontiac Trans Am Hurst Edition is getting boring. His reworked 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS, Smokey and the Bandit-style rebody and paint scheme was put up for auction on eBay Motors this week. There are changes beneath that bodywork as well. For starters, the LS3 V8 is supplemented by a big centrifugal blower. Inside, a chrome Hurst shifter and gold-and-black interior further cement the theme of mustachioed 1970s badassery.

Heather Green's friends were constantly asking her how to do cat or football face paintings.
So the owner of the Silly Farm Supplies, a face and body art supply store in Davie, turned to YouTube and uploaded a series of videos shot in her store.
Heather Green's friends were constantly asking her how to do cat or football face paintings.
So the owner of the Silly Farm Supplies, a face and body art supply store in Davie, turned to YouTube and uploaded a series of videos shot in her store.
That was five years ago.
Since then "Silly Heather's Face Painting Tutorials" have had more than 4.7 million views, boosted her sales, Green said and gotten her invited to teach at schools and other events in Australia and Ireland
She heads to a Canadian makeup school in mid-March.
"When I get called I'm blown away," Green said. "I ask, 'why me?' they say, 'well, we love your YouTube, you're so popular'."
Floridians like Green are among the "hundreds," who are using a YouTube program to generate some cash by spotlighting their talents, passion and ambition.
The YouTube Partner program gives users a share of money for having ads run before or during content they create such as Green's lessons in face painting. The ads range from seconds-long clips played before the videos or small pop-ups displayed during the videos.
The partnership program allows creators to profit financially while sharing their content – whether it's cooking, painting or comedy – with millions of viewers who are just as enthusiastic about the topics, said Kate Mason, YouTube spokeswoman.
"There's only so many times you can do your stand-up routine to your mom," Mason said.
Channel users must abide by YouTube guidelines and own the rights to the content uploaded in order to be part of the program, which started in 2007.
YouTube cannot disclose the number of South Floridians within the partnership or exactly how much partners area making, Mason said.
Orlando resident Jonathan Watson said he isn't one those "top YouTubers making tons of money," but the endeavor has been lucrative enough that he no longer has to work selling timeshares.
Filming and uploading "bucket list" clips has become the video aficionado's full-time job since September 2012. "It allows me to pay bills and save," Watson, 27, said. "It's been a great thing."
Watson's "The Ultimate Weekend Warrior" channel – with more than 20.8 million views – has videos of him doing "those crazy things you think of doing when you're a kid," like swimming with baby tigers, skydiving and a 5K zombie race. He usually posts the videos on the weekend.
YouTube channel creators must be truly passionate about their content topic in order to develop a good following and revenue, Watson and Green said. The process requires a lot of their time and dedication.
Watson spends about eight to nine hours editing content, sometimes up to three days in order to have it look as professional as possible, he said. Green's videos, which last about 10 minutes, take about 20 minutes to film – "depending on how wiggly the models are" – and about two hours to edit, she said. Her models are often customers, friends' children or even her 2-year-old son, Londy.
Green said that on a recent visit to the doctor a woman approached her, saying "'I'm not stalking you, but you look so familiar. Are you on YouTube?'"
"It's always nice to hear that," Green said. "I'm glad (the videos) are actually doing what they are supposed to and people are finding them useful and I'm not wasting my time."
