"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 3.1 "Hard Body … Thin Skin"
Seasons of love — Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred
minutes. How
do you measure a year in
the life? In bite marks. In straight girls. In midnight glasses of wine,
thrown at your head by Mimi. Yeah. Good times.
This season, the new girl
in Jackie's bed is Briana, a young blonde who enjoys a nice, tall glass of leaves
first thing in the morning. The Breakfast of Champions. Champion koalas, that
Jackie reports that she's
"living in the now with Briana," which doesn't bode well for this
season's showmance, but never mind that for the moment. Like all new couples, Briana
tries to entice Jackie to try the things she likes.
Jackie: If this tastes like wheatgrass,
I swear to God, you're going down. That's no good.
Briana: It might be a little too
green for you, but try it.
Jackie allows Briana's neon-green
glop to touch her lips for a nanosecond.
Jackie: Ugh! That is so gross.
Briana: Oh my God, dramatic a
Jackie: No, that is disgusting.
Briana: [dramatic] A little.
Jackie: Seriously, there is
something wrong with you that you like that many vegetables.
Jackie leaves to vomit
and get ready for work.
Old news — At Sky Sport & Spa, Jackie's Beverly Hills gym and day care for personal
trainers, the faces have changed. Zen and Andre are gone. Also new: The temperature
between Jackie and Rebecca has cooled considerably. With four new employees,
not to mention Briana, Jackie doesn't have time to tongue it up with Rebecca outside
public restrooms like they did in the old days.
Rebecca may be an incorrigible
flirt, but she's not without self-awareness. She reports that even though she's
happy for Jackie's new relationship, she loves attention — especially from
Jackie — and misses what they had: flirting, fun and inappropriate touching in
the workplace. Rebecca waits patiently by the ladies' room, just in case. Hope
is a thing with toilet seat covers.
And because a large chunk
of Rebecca's brain thinks like a straight girl, she also misses their girl-time,
which, of course, never existed in the way she thinks it did. All their
dinners, afternoons together and laughing over a bottle of wine was not BFF girlfriend
fun. Most lesbians call those moments "dating."
That said, Jackie, the
Shane of the fitness world, describes their dalliance as a friends-with-benefits
sort of deal. Whatever your perspective, Jackie's moved on, and Rebecca's
feelings have little J-shaped bruises all over them.

Get to Know an American Idol Contestant: Haley Scarnatoby Mischalova at . Comments
She's no Antonella Barba.
Granted, Haley Scarnato has been receiving a lot of attention recently for her looks - but there's one difference between this American Idol contestant and the one that was best known for her sex photos: Haley can sing.
Well enough, in fact, to have cracked at least the top nine on the show. Let's get to know her a bit better, courtest of this People magazine profile ...
Age: 24
Relationship Status: Engaged to Bobby Krudwig, a sales executive
Pre-Idol: Wedding singer in her native San Antonio
Fame Factor: Although she thinks it's "cute" that she has a fan club called "Haley's Comet," Scarnato doesn't want to know much more than that.
"I completely stay away from the Internet and gossip â€" it's scary," she says. "I got recognized recently, which was weird. They said something about my mole!"
* The Hollywood Gossip note: Come on, Haley, you're not curious to read about The Bachelor, Andy Baldwin?
Guest Mentor She's Psyched to Meet: "Martina McBride," says the country fan. "I love her."
What's On Her iPod? "I love Elvis, which is shocking to people for some reason."
On Being Judged: "Some comments are pretty harsh. Ryan Seacrest lightens the mood. It's nice to have him on that big stage next to you."
And with that, Scarnato left to stick pins in her voodoo doll of Sanjaya Malakar. No, we're just kidding.
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you should of won american idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey you are a good singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should of not of gotten voted off
Haley is awesome! I voted my ass for her last night. I hope she continues on. She difinatley deserves to make it further than "what a joke Sanjaya" and Dumbo ears - my voice cracks under pressure - Phil Stacy.
I think Haley is gorgeous and she has very natural voice that is easy to listen to.
I agree with Tony's comments and think that Deb is just jealous becuase she probably doesn't look that good.
You got to be kidding me! I can't believe that she wasn't gone...she can't sing. All she has going for her is her looks. That is about all the judges could say...dress is nice, nice legs. Hopefully she will be gone soon so the real talent can get on with it!!
Okay, so when Gwen Stefani did her thing last week, bet you all didn't realize that the reason they had all the dancing was so we could "Watch" the song instead of listen to it. Not much substance (or music) to that song---maybe a five note spread in the whole thing. I wonder if (Stefani) could make it on Idol if they took away all the glitz and big production? Her voice is not that great. Haley Scarnato has much more quality to her voice and she looks a lot better too. If they can make Stefani marketable and sell her, just imagine what a producer could do with Haley. Let's all vote for Haley and watch a "star" be born.
Haley Scarnato is a true American Idol. Gorgeous---and she can sing! I'm voting.
Haley CAN sing. And she has the entire package, looks, personality, dance ABILITY. This is American Idol and I thought that encompassed more than just singing. It's not called just American Singer. I don't take anything away from the others---(except maybe one) for they can all sing and some of them quite well, obviously. But Haley is the only one with the whole package--the one who can truly be the American Idol in all senses of the word. So come on, Haley fans. We've got to get our networking together and keep those votes coming, now more than ever. It gets tighter and tighter as the contestants get fewer. Now is the time we've got to REALLY get to work. Tell everyone to VOTE VOTE VOTE---HALEY!!

Victim of telemarketing scam shares story
Updated On: Apr 10 2014 06:20:00 AM EDT
The words telemarketers and nuisance are often uttered in one breath. But some telemarketing firms cross the line into outright fraud and deception. Petry Urbina of South Florida was the target of a telemarketing company. The first item for sale: Aprenda Ingles, an English-speaking course costing $300. The telemarketer told Urbina she was chosen because she watches Univision, the Spanish-language TV channel.
"The moment they mentioned they were from Univision… and Don Francisco, who is the show host, I felt comfortable I felt confident this was actually legit. I had no reason to doubt it was not," said Urbina through an interpreter.
Urbina says she was initially interested in buying the course, but she told the telemarketer she had changed her mind.
"On second thought, I don't need it. When she was actually negating it, rejecting it, then that's when they became a little forceful and said, 'No, you need to actually need to receive this product,'" Urbina explained.
Feeling pressured, she bought the course but the telemarketers didn't back off.
"These companies would continue to send shipments or packages, to the consumer, that were never ordered by the consumer," said US Postal Inspector Bryan Masmela.
And before those packages arrived, Urbina got a telephone call telling her a new shipment was on its way and demanding a money order be ready for the C.O.D. payment.
"When the consumer told them they never ordered a package, the telemarketer would begin their threats… they would say if you don't accept the package and make payment then they would send the police to their house or call immigration authorities on them," said Masmela.
The telemarketers were also selling other products. including electricity savers, vitamins, even a version of phony medical insurance.
"That was probably the worst of the lies that we saw… because these were people who were actually sick and they didn't have any health insurance," said Masmela.
The victims were given a number to call.
"The telemarketer on the other phone posing as a doctor on the phone would ask them what their symptoms were and what their problems were and would tell them, 'Hey, I have there products you can purchase that will help you,'" Masmela added.
Univision tipped off postal inspectors to the scam when it learned the telemarketing firm was using its name without authorization. As inspectors began tracking the case they realized the telemarketers were using Univision to lure in victims who they then coerced into buying useless items.
"No company has a right to threaten you with deportation or arrest simply for not accepting one of their packages," warned Masmela.
The owners of this telemarketing firm were sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and ordered to pay more than $4 million to victims in restitution.

Dunkin Donuts' Glazed Doughnut Breakfast Sandwich, which debuted last week, packs bacon and a fried egg between two halves of a glazed donut. While this fatty treat may not be the healthiest way to start your day, at 360 calories, you could do worse. Here, a look at six other fast-food breakfast sandwiches that will have you unbuckling your belt:
1. Burger King's Enormous Omelet Sandwich
The "Home of the Whopper" unleashed this breakfast behemoth in 2005. The aptly named Enormous Omelet Sandwich features all the breakfast staples: a sausage patty, two omelet-style eggs, two slices of American cheese, and three strips of bacon served on a sesame bun. Clocking in at 730 calories, 47 grams of fat, and 1,860 milligrams of sodium per sandwich, it's no wonder Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock told USA Today that Burger King should have offered customers "a $5-off coupon for [their] first angioplasty."
2. Hardee's Country Breakfast Burrito
The Hardee's chain, which has earned a reputation for selling high-calorie, meat-centric sandwiches and salads, started selling the Country Breakfast Burrito in 2007. This 920-calorie monster is made up of a tortilla stuffed with bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, hash browns, and eggs — all smothered in country gravy.
3. Carl's Jr.'s Breakfast Burger
This morning version of a hamburger features a patty layered with a fried egg, bacon, hash brown nuggets, cheese, and ketchup. At 810 calories with 42 grams of fat, it's no wonder Care2 recently put the Breakfast Burger at the top of its list of the scariest fast-food breakfasts.
4. Hardee's Double Sausage, Egg 'N' Cheese Biscuit
The creators of the Country Breakfast Burrito couldn't resist trying to top themselves in 2010 with the release of the Double Sausage, Egg 'N' Cheese Biscuit. The sandwich, which packs in 830 calories, 63 grams of fat, and a massive 2,100 milligrams of sodium, layers two sausage patties, two slices of cheese, and an omelet-style egg atop a country biscuit.
5. McDonald's Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle
The Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle combines the sweet and savory by placing a sausage patty, American cheese, and an omelet egg between two syrup-infused buns. A single sandwich will weigh you down with 550 calories and 31 grams of fat.
6. Subway's Footlong Mega Omelet Sandwich
This massive, 1,430-calorie breakfast beast features an assortment of meats, cheese, vegetables and eggs on a foot-long slice of bread. Its staggering 2,100 milligrams of sodium led Men's Health to name it the "Saltiest Breakfast Sandwich."

Posted Friday, September 20, 2013 --- 11:54 a.m.
The Madison Police Department has suspended two officers following an internal investigation of an incident involving the officers' guns.
Columbia Co. deputies responded to the home of Officer Cary House and Officer Emily House Jan. 3rd after receiving calls about gunfire.
According to Madison Police, the officers were socializing with some casual acquaintances. The department says the officers' guns were fired from the backyard toward an unpopulated area. Police do not believe other residents in the area were in danger.
Madison Police say it was determined that Officer Cary House discharged a firearm while under the influence of an intoxicant. He was arrested.
MPD's internal investigation revealed Officer Emily House likely drove while intoxicated that evening, though she was not charged.
Madison Police say both officers violated department policies.
Officer Cary House was reprimanded and suspended without pay for 30 days.
Officer Emily House was suspended without pay for 9 days.

I'll say it again. Arizona has always seemed like a lawless state. If I remember correctly, Quartzsite is basically a tent city. All the standing structures are mobile homes or double wides. I was ALWAYS grateful that in my travels I NEVER had to stop in Quartzsite. I always held my breath and obeyed every speed law whenever I had to pass through.
The only towns I ever visited that seemed 'mainstream' were Flagstaff and Prescott.
So you thought you had the right to free speech, huh? Not in Quartzsite, Arizona you don't. Citizen Jennifer Jones, attempting to air the City Council's dirty laundry, got arrested for speaking at a public meeting in Quartzsite, Arizona. Police arrested her for speaking at the order of the City Council, specifically Councilman Joe Winslow, even after the Mayor defended her right to speak. Police chief Jeff Gilbert arrested Mrs Jones over Mayor Ed Foster's objections.
Mrs Jones was exercising her right as a citizen to speak at a City Council meeting, and she had the floor. Councilman Winslow shut her down by passing a motion to have her shut down, which in and of itself is a violation as motions can't be passed while a recognized speaker has the floor.
Quartzsite, AZ – The Mayor is challenged under a recall election beginning next month. Accusations have been made. The city council is persecuting the Mayor for giving the people a voice. The Chief of Police is also involved in the scandal.
Jennifer Jones is given the floor at a city council meeting open to the public. While she is speaking the council realizes she's about to air their dirty laundry and quickly beckons their henchman to cart her off.
The Mayor steps in and says Jones has been recognized to speak and has not violated the council's rules, but the council ignores him and has the woman removed even as the Mayor continues to contest. The police officers ignore the Mayor of the city and remove the woman. It's obvious who those cops work for, and it's not the people.
Watch Mrs Jones calmly and with authority attempt to call the City Council out on their dirty laundry, and get arrested for it:
Mrs Jennifer Jones, resident thanks Council Member Anderson for reading the rules that the Town has in place on the agendas for public comment. Mrs Jones continues to speak about those rules. Council Member Winslow calls for "points of order". Mrs, Jones continues. Council Member Winslow motioned that this (inaudible) be removed for the duration of the meeting. No audible second. Council Member Winslow calls for the vote. Vote is inaudible. Mayor Foster states that this lady has the floor, she has been recognized and has the floor. Council Member Winslow states the Council has passed the motioned Council Member Winslow advises Mrs Jones to leave or be escorted out. Confusion and chaos erupts. Shouting and hollering regarding the motion that was made by Council Member Winslow. Town Attorney Walsma states that there was a motion, a second and there was a vote, Mayor Foster states motions can't be made during a Call to the Public; it is not on the agenda. Town Attorney Walsma states that the Council does have that right statutorily, Shouting and hollering continue. Significant disruption erupts.
This is still America and arresting citizens for speaking at a City Council meeting violates the spirit of the Open Meeting laws, in addition to being a chilling and inappropriate abuse of power. Is this what democracy looks like?

These folksy Canucks aren't called the Acorn for nothing. Breaking out last year with a tingly cover of Gowan's "Strange Animal," their release this year, No Ghost transcends the band's usual bucolic stargazing for a gypsy-funk session in a caravan. After a stint of touring with Elbow, their live show (quite big in England) showcases the band's musical showmanship and spontaneity, flushed with a knack for propulsive guitar jams and love-lorne lyrics. Okay, they're Canadas answer to Band of Horses, but with meager neck-beards, only. With Communipaw.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Cleaning up Cape Coral. About 100 people attended the 17th annual Cape Coral Trash Bash.
It happened in Cape Coral's northwest neighborhood on Saturday at the Burnt Store Boat Ramp, located at 230 Burnt Store Road South, just north of Ceitus Parkway. Northwest Cape Coral area residents and property owners team up with the City's Code Enforcement unit, the Cape Coral Police Department and its Marine Enforcement unit to clean up trash from empty properties and canals and forge strong relationships.
Residents picked up free trash bags and t-shirts on Saturday, and went to problem areas of their choice to pick up garbage left on the side of the road.
The annual event is held in conjunction with the Keep Lee County Beautiful and the national Great American Cleanup Earth Day events. Working together, the northwest Trash Bash has consistently had the largest turnout in the county.
"Our neighborhood has greatly improved its appearance over just a few years ago, with stronger trash containment laws and more resident awareness in keeping litter down year around," said event coordinator, Rick Williams. "We actively urge homeowners and businesses to be vigilant about keeping their properties free of trash that can blow around and get trapped in vegetation."
Three major sponsors—Domino's Pizza at 3904 Skyline Blvd., Keep Lee County Beautiful, and Abate Pest Control, provided free pizza, food, cold water, soft drinks and other items for 16 years to make the event possible.

Car insurance for vehicles with side stripes
Written by Mark Bower
Posted on March 23, 2012
Most drivers will agree that adding side stripes gives vehicles a stylish look. If you would like to fit side stripes on your car, remember to bear in mind the following considerations - especially the ones regarding car insurance.
British motorists can now find side stripes available in a wide range of colours and sizes. Race stripes are one of the most common types because they give a vehicle a sporty look. This is one of the reasons that make them popular among younger drivers.
There are side stripes varieties to suit all makes and models. All drivers need to do is carefully read the instructions provided and follow them according to their car shape.
In general, side stripes come with an application tape that makes fitting them a breeze, and ensures that you don't end up with stripes that are out of line.
The majority of side stripes can be bought online at affordable prices. This is the main reason why a number of drivers choose this car modification; as it instantly changes the look of their vehicle at a cost-effective price. Side stripes can last for up to seven years.
Car modifications insurance
It is important to bear in mind how these stripes will affect your car insurance policy.
Some car insurance companies might not be happy if you install side stripes once you have already taken out a policy with them.
Specifically, in the case of large insurance companies, in which cheap car insurance can be found as long as you follow their requirements, modifying your car once an initial policy is agreed can even cancel your existing agreement. This is because it could be considered a violation of the contract's terms and conditions.
That is why installing specific modifications can sometimes lead to serious problems with your car insurance provider, especially if they invalidate your policy in case of an accident.

NAME: Amy Smallwood
NAME :Ellen SteinLOCATION:Northampton MA CERTIFICATIONS: CPR, ACLS, ATLS, and MD Degrees: Dartmouth College AB Engineering Sciences, Stanford University MBA, Dartmouth Medical School MD Full Time Job: Emergency Medicine Intern Baystate Medical Center, Springfield MA DESCRIPTION :Why SOLO? I took a WFR with SOLO in the early 1990s and have been hooked since. The material, the way it's taught, the people who teach it, and the incredible sense of family within the organization are all exceptional. There are other organizations that offer the same certifications but they don't do it in the same way and it's the delivery and again…the people most notably….that make SOLO the leader in my mind. And then there is the SOLO campus including the food…how could I want to train anywhere else??? Career Highlight with SOLO: 4 days after teaching a WFA to a college student who was taking the class for credit and said she would never use the information, I received an email from her thanking me. She said she came upon another student who had been hurt while sledding and she put her training to use until the ambulance came. She was beyond-thrilled with the fact that she knew what to do and the EMTs commended her on her stabilization and assessment of the patient, which of course made me proud! Hobbies/other interests: Pretty much anything outdoors, especially biking, skiing (every type), hiking, running, etc…

Kalpana Soanes Exhibition - 24/10/14
For the new Infinity Foods Kitchen, we have chosen Kalpana Soanes as our first artist. Kalpana grew up drawing pictures on sandy shores and was happy to accept compliments, or better, cake as payment. However, since then, she has upped her game and now paints on canvas. This year she started showing her paintings around and has had the good fortune to be represented by several galleries. After a couple of recent successful solo exhibitions, Kalpana Soanes is thrilled to display her paintings at our venue. All the artwork is very reasonably priced and available for purchase from our cafe. There's more to choose from here: www.kalpanasoanesart.com. Kalpana uses acrylic, oils and mixed media and can create paintings to order in case you need something specially made.

OPS Facilities Master Plan Community Meetings
It's time to upgrade Omaha's public schools. The district wants your help deciding which areas should come as top priority. OPS will hold a series of 3 community meetings on the subject this week.
The 51,070 OPS students attend school at 86 different facilities. Assistant Superintendent Jerry Bartee tells WOWT 6 News it's been more than 50 years since at least 20 of those schools have seen any major structural improvements. He says outdated buildings create technological and safety roadblocks as well as significant energy costs from old boilers and single pane windows.
The 2014 Facilities Study shows overcrowding is about to cause big headaches for the district. 14 schools are projected to be significantly over capacity by 2017-18. 8 of those schools are in Southeast Omaha, where student density and birth rates are highest district-wide.
Kindergarten enrollment for last fall was 30% higher than 2000-01. This indicates a much larger student population is moving up in the district. The push for pre-K education is stronger than ever too, putting more demands on the district when it comes to space and classroom design.
The facilities master planning process happens every 5 years. The goal is to collect data and public opinion to present to the school board so they can make informed decisions on future renovations.
