There has been a distinct lack of awesome magazine issues lately. And I'm still super depressed about Conde Nast's announcement that Domino has folded.
But British Vogue may have changed all that with their March 09 issue.
A 336 page book with an actual model on the cover!
Lily not only grabbed the cover but two separate editorials, and more eds starring Caroline Trentini, Anja Rubik, Daria Werbowy and Agyness Deyn. Plus, Vogue's top 30 inspirational women, and an article on Frida Giannini.
So avoid any newsstands for a few weeks to avoid the temptation of lame American magazines and save up the $11 to grab British Vogue.

MADISON, Wis. - Penn State went into Michigan last year with a conservative game plan that blew up the game and ultimately blew up the Nittany Lions' season.
What a difference a year makes.
In their first big road test Saturday night, the Nittany Lions came into Camp Randall Stadium and immediately quieted Wisconsin's typically raucous home crowd.
Penn State did it with the same kind of aggressiveness it has shown on both sides of the ball almost the entire season and wound up pounding the Badgers, beating them at their own physical game en route to a resounding 48-7 victory that should serve as a statement.
And that statement is this: Oil up the old national championship bandwagon because this team looks like it has the goods to complete its first perfect Big Ten season since 1994.
''We deserve to be considered [for national title contention], but we have some tough games left,'' Joe Paterno said.
The Lions will be eager to unleash 12 years of frustration against Michigan on Saturday before an Oct. 25 showdown in Columbus that, presuming Penn State can negotiate a November that includes a visit to improving Iowa and a home finale with Michigan State, could possibly punch a Bowl Championship Series title game ticket.
''Everybody's clicking,'' safety Anthony Scirrotto said.
Their effort - offense, defense, special teams and coaching, even with Joe Paterno, a sad sight with a cane, in the press box - was that complete.
The Lions came out throwing as Daryll Clark continued his sensational development with a terrific performance in his first real signature game.
The stable of receivers - Derrick Williams and Deon Butler, Jordan Norwood, Brett Brackett and even James McDonald - once again shined.
The spread-the-field strategy put the Badgers on their heels and made Wisconsin respect the pass enough for Penn State's offensive line - clearly their best since the celebrated '94 unit - to open significant holes for Evan Royster.
Their special teams, with Williams returning a punt 63 yards for a back-breaking touchdown and a 17-0 lead, were also at their best.
Defensively, the Lions were equally impressive. They had created only four turnovers through the first six games, but got four here, including two interceptions.
They jumped into a rare 4-4-3 look, inserting an extra linebacker and daring Wisconsin to pass, and the ploy helped stuff the Badgers' run early.
A Wisconsin team that can't run is a Wisconsin team that can't win.
''They're a very physical team and when you get ahead of them, it changes their whole style of play,'' defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said.
Penn State arrived confident and wound up delivering its most impressive road win of the decade.
''I thought we'd win,'' Paterno said, ''but not by 41 points.''
Now, granted, before getting too carried away, the Badgers are 3-3, and Penn State's dominance raises some questions about an Ohio State team that struggled here last week, wasn't overwhelming against Purdue Saturday and just may find itself as an underdog in its own house when the Lions come calling.
Just as Michigan has beaten Penn State nine straight times, the Lions have lost seven straight in Columbus.
The Nits' 7-0 start is their best since 1999 when they got caught looking past Minnesota and crumbled to end a disappointing season.
To that end, Penn State has a chance to exorcise a lot of demons this year, not to mention deliver the kind of season that - if he so chooses - would allow JoePa to fittingly ride off from the kingdom he built in a chariot.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Despite increasing their points total each set, the Stetson volleyball team dropped a 3-0 decision at ETSU in an Atlantic Sun Conference match Saturday afternoon at Brooks Gym.
The Bucs (19-10, 10-5 A-Sun) won by scores of 25-17, 25-20, 25-22.
After posting just 22 kills and a sub-zero attack percentage the night before, the Hatters (4-29, 0-16 A-Sun) performed much better Saturday, finishing with 31 kills and a .134 hitting percentage.
"It was a good team effort, the team played hard, and we did a better job of following the game plan," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "Hopefully we can continue to improve and finish strong next weekend."
Kaley Melville recorded eight kills and Ellen Hawks added six kills and a .455 attack pct. to help lead the offense. Kelli Carneal (18 assists) and Kayla Weller (12 assists) each recorded double-digit assist totals. Defensively, Alexa Drost picked up seven digs and Hawks assisted on four the Hatters' six blocks.
"Kelli Carneal and Monique Russell both had good games in their final road trip," Loesch said. "Also Taylor Johnson (five kills) stepped up today and Kaley Melville had a great game. I thought Ellen Hawks did a great job hitting and blocking for us."
Megan Divine had 14 kills and 11 digs for the Bucs, who were coming off a victory over previously unbeaten FGCU on Friday night.
The Hatters return home to face Northern Kentucky at 6 p.m. on Friday.
Notes: Senior Kelli Carneal played her 100th career match and moved into the top six in school history in career assists.

A Literary Genius Who Sacrifices Freedom for Love.
Buzz has been building in anticipation of The Santa Fe Opera's world premiere of Oscar, composer Theodore Morrison's opera based on the life of Oscar Wilde. Working with librettist and Wilde scholar John Cox, Morrison reveals the profoundly human side of the literary genius and aesthete. The charismatic countertenor David Daniels creates the role of Oscar. His friends Walt Whitman and Ada Leverson are sung by Dwayne Croft and Heidi Stober, with William Burden as Wilde's ally Frank Harris. Evan Rogister, who spellbound with his leadership of King Roger last season, conducts.
8:30 pm: July 27
8:00 pm: July 31; August 9, 12, 17
Composed by Theodore Morrison
Libretto by John Cox and Theodore Morrison
Performed in English
A historical introduction by John Cox
Walt Whitman met Oscar Wilde during the young Irish poet's lecture tour of the USA in 1882. Walt was at the height of his fame, whereas Oscar was merely a celebrity lecturer explaining the new Aesthetic Movement to the American public. He had at this point written nothing to hint at his enduring genius. By the time Oscar met Lord Alfred Douglas, known as Bosie, Walt was dead while Oscar was very famous. It is from his vantage point of Immortality that Walt presents our opera, revealing to us the catastrophe that Oscar's love for Bosie brought about.
Bosie Douglas was the youngest son of the Marquess of Queensberry, and they despised one another. Oscar soon found himself in the crossfire of their enmity when Queensberry raised public objection to Oscar's relationship with his son, imputing a sexual basis to it. Bosie forced Oscar to sue Queensberry for libel, hoping thereby to disgrace him, but Queensberry won the case, so the disgrace fell on Oscar. He was rapidly put on trial, convicted and jailed for "gross indecency."
Oscar is out on bail awaiting the verdict. Queensberry has bribed two detectives to warn hotel managers against giving him a room. Bosie, under pressure from Oscar, leaves the country, but, portrayed by a dancer, he haunts Oscar's imagination throughout the opera.
Oscar eventually finds shelter with Ada Leverson, also a writer and adored by Oscar who calls her Sphinx. She puts him up in the children's nursery where they are joined by their friend Frank Harris. At first the innocent gaiety of their surroundings brightens the mood. Drinks are served and playful repartee prevails. Then the influential Frank reveals that he has made arrangements for Oscar to abscond bail, flee the country and escape the inevitable guilty verdict.
After much agonizing, especially over his two young children, Oscar refuses to run away. The only honorable course is to face his accusers.
In what essentially becomes a show trial the nursery morphs into the courtroom and the toys enact the proceedings as farce. The "guilty" verdict is handed down and Oscar is sentenced to hard labor for two years.
The prison warders are sarcastically making their celebrity guest welcome, but a reality check is brutally provided by the sadistic governor, Isaacson, whose personal mission is to punish his charges to the furthest extreme.
Oscar will be no exception. He is rapidly broken in body and spirit by the prison regime. In his feverish weakness he suffers a fall during chapel service and injures his head. In the face of rebellious protests by the other prisoners Isaacson grudgingly sends Oscar to the infirmary.
In the infirmary Oscar is able to talk with other sick prisoners, discovering levels of simple humanity that restore his spirits. He realizes that there are greater degrees of suffering in life than he has ever imagined. We discover that there is soon to be an execution. During the night before it the tension inside the prison reaches a terrifying pitch as all feel the presence of Death in their midst. Oscar senses that this death prefigures his own.
Nearing the end of his sentence, Oscar is visited by Frank Harris. Early release has been beyond Frank's political influence but at least the authorities have decided to replace the tyrannical Isaacson with a more moderate governor who will allow Oscar writing materials, more books and to work in the garden. It is here that he receives his last visitor. Ada Leverson comes to discuss plans for his return to freedom. Alas, his request to join a closed Christian community has been refused. It will be some time before society is prepared to tolerate his return.
Indeed, he will have to pass over to the next life before that process can truly begin.
Walt greets Oscar on the threshold of Eternity and conducts him, amidst general acclaim, to his place among the Immortals.

Sitting in a booth with pals, "the mood was great," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "John and Katy were mellow but very sweet with each other and were really enjoying their friends."
With Perry looking "very cute" in a Herve Leger dress and high heels, the group indulged in baked crab hand rolls, crispy rice, shishito peppers, creamy rock shrimp, albacore with crispy onions and dessert.
After dining for two hours, the friends parted ways. Mayer and Perry left the restaurant through the front door to be greeted by paparazzi outside.

Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Pie RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 3 5
I don't prepare dessert often but this pie is one of the exceptions. Sugar-free pudding, a reduced-fat graham cracker crust and a few other items keep the fat and calories down, but no one guesses that this sweet treat is lighter than other desserts.—Vickie Madrigal, Shreveport, Louisiana
- 1-3/4 cups cold 2% milk
- 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
- 1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust (8 inches)
- 2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
- 8 teaspoons chocolate syrup
- In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Stir in peanut butter. Transfer to crust. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Just before serving, spread with whipped topping. Drizzle servings with chocolate syrup. Yield: 8 servings.

Physicians may refer to it as the "bio-psycho-social-spiritual model." Patients might understand it better as treating "body, mind and spirit." The religious faithful simply see it as "the power of prayer." Whatever it is called, Don Sherwood feels it working for him. Sherwood served in the 82nd Airborne, weathered the deaths of his wife and brother five years ago and bought his first motorcycle two years ago at age 74. In January, he was diagnosed with acute leukemia.
Now, he spends some of his time tethered to medical equipment at Roswell Park Cancer Institute as chemotherapy drugs drip into his veins. And while he is doing that, he sometimes prays.
"I was pretty overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, worry," Sherwood said about his diagnosis. "What am I going to do now? What if, what if, what if ... That burden, that stress, was worse than the disease itself."
He did not have to face his illness alone. During many of his treatments, a Roswell Park chaplain stopped by.
Sherwood, a retired construction worker, said he had not been overwhelmingly spiritual in his life, but the chaplain's visits touched him.
"He always ended with a nice prayer," Sherwood said. "He wasn't pushy or anything. I ended up turning things over to Jesus, and a lot of the pressure, tension, was kind of removed. I thought, 'I'll do what I can' and leave the rest to God."
Off-loading worries may be one of the keys to the recognized success of spirituality in healing, easing distress and coping with terminal illness, experts in both faith and medicine agree.
Murray Levine, professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University at Buffalo, examined the connection in a paper that appeared in the Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy in 2008. Several studies indicate that prayer "helps to make more tolerable the stress associated with major life events," such as illness and the loss of loved ones, he wrote in "Prayer as Coping: A Psychological Analysis."
Emotional relief
Levine compares a person's prayerful conversation with God to what a psychotherapy client may experience. Putting one's thoughts and fears into words helps clarify them, he writes, and brings emotional relief. One study indicated that people who perceive God as merciful may also feel forgiveness.
"Being forgiven relieves guilt and guilt-related stress," Levine notes.
Those who engage in deep, contemplative prayer may also experience other physical benefits, Levine reports. In one study (Seeman, Dubin & Seeman, 2003), physiological benefits were found that are similar to those gained via meditation.
"These include effects on the autonomic, endocrine, immune, skeletal and smooth muscle systems," Levine writes.
He concludes that modern research is supporting what "untold millions of people over the ages" have found about the power of prayer.
"Religiosity, faith, spirituality and the practice of private prayer are related to health and well-being," he says.
Dr. F. Fero Sadeghian, an Iranian-born doctor who lives in East Aurora and is now retired from regular practice, talked about this aspect as "a dimension to [healing] that we in medicine have forgotten how to address."
In his autobiography, "They Call Me Fero," he describes a personal awakening to the importance of spirituality.
"At the beginning, I was like any other young physician, totally infatuated by what medicine had to say," he said recently.
Gradually, he began tuning into his patients' belief systems – including the belief of doctor and patient in one another.
"Trust in each other played a major role in rapid healing and in achieving better outcomes," he said.
The great divide
In Christian tradition, Native American culture and among many other faiths and indigenous groups, healing and spirituality often have gone hand in hand.
"In the Middle Ages, medicine was practiced in monasteries and convents; the monks and nuns studied herbs and other healing practices," said Bob Fink, director of chaplains at the Center for Hospice & Palliative Care. "For a long time, a lot of medical training was through religious schools. Faith did not reject medicine."
However, in the past 100 years or so, medicine separated from religion, he said. The reason was simple.
"When we are more involved in the physical world, that's what we look to for answers," he explained.
But, Fink also has seen attitudes change in the two decades he has spent working in hospice care, which is designed to help people cope with end-of-life issues.
"We are on a journey with them, to help them along it," Fink said. "As the journey progresses, the [patients] become more aware of the spiritual part of their lives."
While the chaplains at Hospice don't replace clergy, he said, they are there for the patients' spiritual needs.
"They are focusing on the important things," Fink said, "their love of family, and hope. They might pray for time, for healing, for comfort. But eventually, when I ask people what they are praying for, it's peace."
And, according to those who work with them, many find it.
The staff at the Center for Hospice makes a point of "digging deeper" if treating physical symptoms has not brought relief, said Kelley Clem, chief nursing officer at the center.
"We examine the person's emotional status – What's going on with them? What's troubling them?" Clem said.
"It's not always about God," Clem continued. If no religion is listed on the patients' charts, she said, "it does not necessarily mean they are not a spiritual person."
One of the biggest issues many patients express, she said, is a need for reconciliation, with a loved one or a higher power. And sometimes, Clem said, this comes through prayer.
"You can absolutely see the peace come over them. You can see changes in breathing, relaxation – there's much less labor in their final journey," she said. "It's pretty powerful."
Beth Lenegan, director of pastoral care at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, also has witnessed a greater acceptance among physicians for treating emotional and spiritual needs, along with physical illness.
"I have seen more openness in terms of [doctors] wanting spiritual care to be a part of their work," Lenegan said. "We hear readily from patients that their surgeon has prayed with them before surgery has begun."
Spiritual comfort
Patients don't have to be confronting their mortality to want spiritual comfort.
Dr. David Holmes, a family practitioner, teaches an upper-level course at UB's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences on "Faith, Medicine and End of Life Care." Holmes said that 20 years ago, perhaps 3 percent of medical schools offered a spirituality course; now the number is closer to 80 percent.
"My job is not to push religion; it's to improve the health and well-being of my patients," said Holmes, who treats patients at ECMC's Cleve-Hill Family Health Center and also volunteers at Good Neighbors Health Care at Harvest House on Buffalo's lower East Side.
Holmes attends Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church and said that, when appropriate, he will share with patients that he believes in the power of prayer.
"It helps with the doctor-patient relationship, for them to know that their doctor thinks of them as more than a machine with so many moving parts," he said.
Laura Iafrati, a fourth-year student who is taking Holmes' course, said that while all first-year students are taught to take a spiritual history when evaluating patients, time constraints can cause it to fall between the cracks.
She recalls one visit.
"I had asked a patient if he was religious or spiritual, and when he said yes, I got more specific, asking what religion he was, and how he practiced, and he just lit up," Iafrati said. "He was much more receptive to what we were saying about making changes in his life. He kept saying 'You're the first who ever asked me about this.' "
Making those connections is important, Holmes said.
"Anytime you can establish a better doctor-patient rapport, they are more likely to follow directions" relevant to their health care, she said.
Johnny Pennick, a Buffalo school bus driver, has been to the Good Neighbors clinic several times and said he prefers its brand of holistic, whole-patient care. Because of the way he is treated, he said, he makes sure to get to his appointments.
"It is truly, truly, truly a God-given blessing to be able to come here. The warmth, the welcome – they take the time to get to know you here," Pennick said.
He has high blood pressure, which he treats in more than one way.
"I definitely pray, and I exercise every day," Pennick said. "It's Him (God) first, then the medicine. And it's working."
Faster recovery
Medical and religious workers both say they have seen faster recovery and improved attitudes among patients who pray or who are prayed for – whether it is attributed to intervention of a higher power or the power of positive thinking.
The Rev. Edward H. Ihde of St. Nicholas Anglican Church in West Seneca has 25 years' experience ministering to the sick and administering the sacrament of Holy Unction and Laying on of Hands. His church had healing services each Wednesday through Lent, a time when people might be looking for spiritual as well as physical recovery, he said.
But sometimes, he believes, they get both.
"My brother, John, who was three years older than I, had cancer of the larynx. It had been diagnosed, and he went in for surgery to have the tumor removed. And it was gone," Ihde said.
His brother's priorities changed to more personal fulfillment, and he lived seven more years.
The people at Hospice and Good Neighbors also recalled instances of "spontaneous" healing; they leave it up to their patients to decide the reasons behind it. Most gave opinions that agreed, in some way, with Ihde, who said: "God put us all on the earth for some reason. Doctors play their part; we play ours."

The mother of a baby who died with meth in her system has been taken into custody, a sheriff's spokesperson said Tuesday.
Details on Nicole Smith's arrest were not immediately clear.
Smith's 1-month-old girl passed away in December. A toxicology report released in January revealed the drugs in the baby's body.
Police said Monday they issued an arrest warrant for the 31-year-old. She was wanted on $1 million bond.
So far, Smith is charged with child endangerment.

Can this 85-year-old Irving golfer shoot his age again? He'll find out Thursday
Irving resident Bob McCullom, 85, has advice for anyone wanting to shoot their age on a golf course.
"You gotta stay with it," he said. "You gotta get old to shoot your age."
He's exactly right. The best way to shoot your age is to get older.
On Thursday, McCullom will join his familiar foursome at Stevens Park in Dallas, a course where he shot his age last year. On Friday, he'll be 86.
Ed Searcy, who'll be in the foursome along with Kent Darwin and Ed Kellem, said McCullom is a consistent player who's honed his game after decades of focusing on the fundamentals of simply hitting the ball squarely.
"His drives are always in the fairway," Searcy said. "That's the art of his game — from 120 yards in."
The foursome doesn't declare mulligans, and McCullom's only advantage is hitting from the forward tees.
"It doesn't matter what age you are," said McCullom, who shot a 90 Tuesday morning at Stevens Park. "You have to change your approach to things the older you get. You have to recognize the forward tees. Also, you don't hit as far as you can; you just hit it."
McCullom, a graduate of Crozier Tech in Dallas, started playing golf in his late teens. In 1950, when he was in the U.S. Army, he was a stateside artillery instructor, which might explain his penchant for precise placements.
"The approach to the green is the most important shot in golf, which doesn't agree with what most of the pundits say," McCullom said.
Shooting his age doesn't seem to be that big a deal to McCullom. He said he's done it several times.
"Every time I go out there, I try to shoot my age," he said.

SILVER CREEK – Village officials are looking at a regional water plan with the city of Dunkirk that may save residents money in water rates.
At a workshop session Monday, Mayor Kurt Lindstrom unveiled a map that showed the proposed water main along Route 5. Town of Sheridan residents already have been connected to the city of Dunkirk's system and the water main is now just a few miles from the Silver Creek village line.
Lindstrom said he was "thrilled to be working on the proposal." He said the result could be up to a 50 percent savings over what village customers are currently paying.
Village Board members will meet with a representative of the engineering firm Nussbaumer and Clarke in the future to review the engineering and other needs for the program. A motion to authorize $975 in engineering fees to the company was approved.
The village has been purchasing water from the Erie County Water Authority for several years and officials have said the village pays one of the highest rates in the area.
"I am pleased that Dunkirk Mayor A.J. Dolce had introduced this proposal and we have the cooperation of the town of Dunkirk and town of Sheridan," said the mayor.
In other matters:
• Lindstrom thanked to the Hanover Garden Club and the village Streets Department for the decorations and preparations in the village square. The annual holiday gathering was held Saturday.
• Permission was granted for the annual Polar Bear Swim to be held at the beach near the Jackson Street Firemen's Club on Jan. 13. Police and emergency responders will prepare for more than 100 people to take part.

Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have confirmed previous findings that high levels of fatty acids from fish oil and fatty fish are associated with a 71 percent increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer.
The study, published in the online editions of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, validates findings by the same team in 2011 that linked high blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids and a higher risk for prostate cancer in men.
"We've shown once again that use of nutritional supplements may be harmful," said Alan Kristal, Dr.P.H., the paper's senior author and member of the Fred Hutch Public Health Sciences Division.
Tumors from high-grade prostate cancer are more likely to be fatal.
The new study also found a 44 percent increase in low-grade prostate cancer.
"It's important to note, however, that these results do not address the question of whether omega-3's play a detrimental role in prostate cancer prognosis," said corresponding author Theodore Brasky, Ph.D. Brasky was a postdoctoral trainee at Fred Hutch when the research took place.
The benefit of omega-3 supplementation for cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks or strokes was also questioned in a recent analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers were not able explain why high levels of omega-3 fatty acids would increase prostate cancer risk, but they called for more research.
The study analyzed the blood of 834 men who developed prostate cancer along with a comparison group of 1,393 men who did not.
The highest and lowest risk groups had a difference in blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids of 2.5 percentage points — slightly more than the effect of eating salmon twice a week.
Scientists and researchers from the University of Texas, University of Washington, National cancer Institute and the Cleveland Clinic also participated in the study.
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Alison Reed Ross said she got her love of traveling from her parents, and many times while on the road with them, she'd want to pull over to check out a great old building.
So it's no wonder that Ross, who is an architectural historian, didn't hesitate when a publishing company asked her to write about the history of a famous local hotel. Ross has written a book on the 200-plus-year-old Bedford Springs Hotel for the "Images of America'' series by Charleston, S.C.-based company Arcadia Publishing.
The Bedford Springs Hotel, now known as Omni Bedford Springs Resort, was first opened as a spa in the 1700s. Original owner Dr. John Anderson wanted to take advantage of the natural mineral springs, thought to have restorative health benefits, according to the book written by Ross, who lives in Newville, Cumberland County.
Article Photos

"Images of America: The Bedford Springs Hotel" is available in the Omni Bedford Springs Resort's gift shop.
The Bedford County site grew to become one of the country's most popular summer resort destinations, even serving as an informal summer White House, playing host to several American presidents, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, and other notable celebrities.
But starting in the late 1980s, the hotel fell into disrepair, which is how Ross first saw it in 1991.
"I am fascinated with historic resort hotels, and I have always loved this one, ever since my first visit when it was empty and forlorn,'' she said.
Omni reopened it in 2007.
Gathering information and photos from local historians such as William Defibaugh, who founded the Bedford Springs Historical Society, and Mary Dorner, an employee of the hotel who donated photographs of the hotel to the society, Ross pieced together its history.
She received assistance from Jim Nagle of Forse Design, who helped with information about the golf course restoration; Cliff Saxton Jr., who assisted with access to photos in the collection of the White Sulphur Springs Historical Society in Milligans Cove; and Steve Long of the Doubling Gap Center in Newville. She also researched her book at the Bedford County Historical Society, the Pennsylvania State Archives, the Pennsylvania State Museum and the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.
One of her favorite resort guests was Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of President Abraham Lincoln. Mary Todd Lincoln stayed at Bedford Springs and also stayed at the nearby Cresson Springs Hotel in Cambria County. A photo of the former First Lady is included in the book.
"I have always thought of Mary Todd Lincoln as the somber, grieving widow of Abraham Lincoln who perhaps spent her time sitting at home alone, crocheting lace by the window,'' Ross said. "She really liked the practice of taking therapeutic mineral baths and traveled to not only the Cresson Springs Hotel ... and the Bedford Springs Hotel, but she liked to visit grand European resorts such as Bath, England and those on those on the French Riviera.''
Arcadia Publishing was established in 1993 and has published more than 8,000 books, according to Gervase Kolmos, Arcadia Publishing's mid-Atlantic sales and marketing manager. Its primary focus is its "Images of America," a series of pictorial books which celebrates the histories of towns and neighborhoods across America.
The Bedford Springs hotel book is one of more than 60 titles that the company has published about hotels, inns and resorts.
"Arcadia's 'Images of America' books on historic hotels are very popular with readers because of the memories tied to these establishments,'' she said. "Publishing a book on the (Bedford Springs) hotel is the best way to preserve its legacy in order for generations to come to be able to enjoy and remember it.''
The book, which costs $21.99, is available in the hotel's gift shop, said Bernadette Feuillet, the resort's retail manager.
Ross will sign books from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the Bedford Market at Omni Bedford Springs Resort.

As the Stetson University softball players made their way into the team fieldhouse Tuesday afternoon to prepare for practice, many commented on how sore they were from Monday's strength training workout.
"That's nothing unusual because we push ourselves in the weight room every week," senior Meredith Owen said. "Soreness is something we will face in-season, so the more we can work through it now the better prepared we will be in the spring."
During the fall semester, the Hatters hit the weight room at the Athletic Training Center before dawn three times a week under the instruction of strength and conditioning coach Brad Lokey. Owen says the addition of a strength program to the athletic department last year has really made a tremendous impact on all of the Hatter teams, including softball.
"Coach Lokey knows the type of key words to say to us to help us get the right form," Owen said. "He pays attention to the specific little details that keep us all safe in the weight room. It's helped me tremendously."
"He keeps us all accountable, too," junior Allison Sutherin said about Lokey. "Especially us older girls who were here last year. When we don't have the right form, or if we notice our partner who might be younger doesn't have the right form, he really gets onto us for not correcting them. Working on our accountability (in the weight room) helps us on the field, too."
Sutherlin's work ethic in the weight room helped her garner National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American Athlete honors last year. The strength program also benefited the team from an offensive production standpoint - the Hatters hit a school-record 45 home runs last spring. Owen said she has seen improved results in the circle as well.
"Just from last year to this year the speed on my fastball has increased dramatically, there is no other explanation other than the fact that we are getting so much stronger," Owen said. "Our team percentage went up crazy amounts on our lifting, and it just continues to go up. It's not because we go in (to the weight room) and just go through the motions; we go in there and we work hard. It shows on the field because the balls are jumping off the bat and we are throwing the ball hard."
In addition to the tangible results of strength training, the team's time in the weight room fosters another valuable side-effect, team bonding.
"We all have to rely on each other," Sutherlin said. "I feel a lot of togetherness in there. When I hear other people yelling at me, it really motivates me to keep going, even when I feel like I can't. Just doing it all together really builds chemistry."
"The fact that we are lifting together as a team really pushes us," Owen said. "You see what the girl next to you is doing, and you think, 'Man, she is doing that, I can do that.' So it is a constant competition but in a good way. It's a fun environment.
"It also helps with team morale," Owen added. "When you are attempting a heavy lift and your teammate jumps in your ear and says, 'I know you can do it, you got this, you got this,' that helps us know they have our back and we have their back. On the field, that means they are not giving up on you and you are not giving up on them."
The Hatters will return to the field this Friday and Saturday with their final two scrimmages of the fall. Stetson will host Lake-Sumter State College at 4 p.m. Friday and St. Petersburg College at Noon on Saturday. Next week's contest vs. Daytona State has been canceled.

Wife wrecked her Alero
by The Happy Hubby from Dallastown, Pa | March 22, 2013
In June 2007 my wife and I puchased for her a 2002 Silver Olds Alero and she absolutly loved the car. But in the winter of 2013 she hit some black ice while on her way to work one morning, she spun off the road and hit a small diameter tree, she was not injured at all due in part to the well engineered constuction of the Alero, it really took a hard hit, and even though my wife was not hurt, the Alero that she named Buster was totaled. Buster was Busted. When we started talking about replacing Buster I asked her what she was thinking, she replied, I want another Buster. So I looked at different website and found what we were looking for on cars.com. There it was a 2003 Silver Olds Alero. The same identical car just one year younger and with 30,000 less miles on it. I went and checked it out and because I did all the maintenace on the 02 I already knew the car inside out. It passed my inspection and we purchased the car for Ben,s Platinum Motors in Hanover Pa. we got an excellent deal and the difference in price from what the insurance paid us was only 400 bucks, so for only a few hundred we have another Buster or as she calls him, Buster Jr. The Olds Alero is an excellent value with very nice styling and plenty of V6 power. In the end, my wife loves her new-er car and that makes me one happy hubby.

The Alero is a solid car.
by Texas_Investigator from Houston, TX | July 7, 2012
I have owned my 2003 Alero GLS for six years now. I bought it used. The main reason I chose the Alero was it handled great; and the one I picked had a very clean, and quiet, running engine with reasonable power. The interior is a little cheap; but if that's what your looking for go buy a Lexus or something. The only mechanical problem has been the fuel pump. The tires seem to wear out a little faster on the Alero than the other cars I have owned. Seriously, the tires get bald quickly on an Alero (I drive a lot more than the average person however). I have had a few electrical problems with it over the years, but nothing serious -- the factory radio quit on me. It is a little annoying not being able to turn the headlights off sometimes, but again no biggie. It gets reasonable gas mileage as well. I bought it with approx. 35,000 miles on it. It now has over 200,000 miles and still starts right-up and drives like a new car. I wish they still made this car, it was a good one. On a final note, many of my street-racing, "fast-and-furious", friends would praise the Alero back in the day. They would always remark that it had one of the fastest four-cylinder engines available for under $20,000 (I believe only the Acura Integra is faster). Having owned one for many years now, I can verify that it is indeed fast for a four-banger.

Most Reliable Car i have owned
by Car Person from Lansing, Michigan | August 24, 2008
This 2003 GLS coupe will be the third Alero in the Family 65,000 miles when purchased. I have a 2001 GLS Sedan with 240,000 miles, which I purchased new from the dealer, and have had no major issues. At 215,000 miles, the 2001, had a fuel pump failure and it was replaced at the standard dealer charge of ~$900.00 and the AC Clutch Coil went bad at 205,000 miles both are not unreasonable in Michigan. I am planning to have this 2003 GLS last as long as my 2001. I recently purchased my college bound son a 2001 GX Coupe with 45,000 miles on it. These vehicles are very reasonably prices as GM has discontinued the Oldsmobile line however the vehicles are identical mechanically to a Pontiac Grand Am so parts are not an issue. Great value for a well equipped vehicle.

OK, so it has been a couple of weeks since I posted, sorry. Between work and working out and finding time to spend with my wife, I have been a bit busy. So when I got back from the ski trip I was eager to get back in the weight room, I was also eager to get back on the scale. The thing is I have been building my cardio, and eating healthier but the weight had, simply NOT been "falling off" like mike, and I had hoped. Sooooooo, I started "logging" my eating habits…yeah I said I was "logging" my eating habits…SWEET.
As it turns out I was WAY over the top in carbs. I though all of the whole grains and granola would be helping me lose weight however, since I was eating sooo freakin much of it I was just staying the same. Now dont get me wrong, I have probably put on 7-10lbs of muscle, so I was losing fat, just not at the rate I wanted to…..long story short my weight had actually gone up, WHAT? 240lbs REALLY?!?!?! I mean my endurance is up my strength is up and my stamina is great. . .F-WORD!
Since I was "Logging" my eating, we came to this conclusion I needed to start on a high protein, veggie and fruit diet with limited carbs. . .as it seems I have plenty of FAT for my body to feed off of for energy. Now I am not cutting carbs out comepletely so I will still have some extra energy source…
In two weeks time I have dropped almost ten lbs. . .now this is the progress that I was looking for….I am sure however some of that is water weight, so I have to stay ahead of it by eating right.
Now, if you were ever a wrestler you would know that the human body in ideal circumstances (meaning, if you eat right and exercise regularly) will "Float", as my father used to say, two pounds over night. that means I will lose two pounds every night, and if I exercise and continue to eat right I can get ahead of that two pounds..that's right Breier, this is the secret!
OK, so what is the deal, with the right foods? Man this is the hardest part, the following is an example of what I will eat in any given day:
7:30a–two hard boiled eggs, and a piece of fruit
10:00a–celery with some(but no too much) peanut butter
12:00n–salad with chick peas, black beans, carrots, Bell peppers, and a can of tuna
3:00p–an apple
6:00p–Chicken (no buttery, or oil based sauces, just bake it and eat)
Steamed cauliflower, with pepper NO salt, or butter
Canned corn again NO BUTTER OR SALT
7:00p–a piece of fruit for desert if I really want it
The thing is none of this would be that bad except that when I cook I want some flavor. Veggies are much harder to eat when you steam them and don't put anything on them but pepper. . .Chicken is the same, the only saving grace is oregano, other than that I don't put anything on it, it does not make for a very extravagant meal….Note: special thanks to Shannon my wife for eating this flavorless food with me, I know it sucks sometimes!
Now here is the kicker, if you eat like this for a week or so, and force this "flavorless" food down, your body will actually begin to crave it, you will actually enjoy steamed cauliflower with pepper. . .these foods are actually pretty good as they are…most of us are just so used to "More flavor" and "Extra Cheese". . .In short the American eating habits reflect our society. . .MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER….WRONG!
OK so I have conquered eating…task complete…sooooo, what else am I doing? You might wonder why I titled this post "6:00am REALLY"…well, as you may recall I wanted to increase my time with Mike Duquette, and as it seems he teaches a class at 6:00a Monday/Wednesday/Friday at the college. This way I can work with him EVERY DAY of the week, and three of those days I can get home to Shannon and the dog by 5:30p instead of 7:00p. . .This has definitely been BETTER for me…besides the 5:00am wake up of course!
This class is all the things that Mike and I would normally do only more advanced and for twice as long, and the best part is I don't have to pay a dime for this, since I am an assistant coach at the college this class is FREE, SWEEEEEEEET. Some 15-20 people come to the class regularly, including my mother, the health nut, who also happens to be a beast in the weight room! (just a little shout out). A lot of the exercises are weight enhanced and everyone is given the appropriate weight before the class starts (example: if we are using "plates" I would be given a 45lb plate and my mother would get a 10lb or 25lb). We usually do our dynamic stretching and move into footwork, followed by several short circuits and then one 20 minute circuit, finishing up with some more stretching for the last five minutes…the class totals an hour, hence the name "Power Hour" (Sorry fellas there are no shots involved).
Oh yeah, On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am doing cardio, Last night I thought it would be a good idea to do some stadium stairs….BAD MOVE…the womens lacrosse team was practicing, so I could not exactly stop after the first one. . .so I had to forge through until they left the field to avoid looking like a slacker….BRUTAL. Followed that up with some live draws with the team and some full field "situational face-offs". . .This week has been a monster!
Until next time
P.S. I hope Shannahan is reading this stuff, I am looking forward to meeting him at the X. . .we used to have some great battles in college.

Stockton police said they are investigating the first homicide in the city in more than a month.
Officers were called to the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Lincoln Street about 2:25 a.m. Sunday in response to a report of a shooting.
