I went to see Beyonce and Lily Allen within a week of each other, whilst Beyonce's performance was amazing, her voice and the effects on her show completely blew me away, I enjoyed Lily Allen's show more. Her charisma and humour made the show great fun, and of course her… (cont'd) ICR from Nuneaton

No, we're not talking about the FAKE Jepsen pics floating around the Internet ... sources tell us the photos in question are the real deal and have not seen the light of day ... and the Canadian-born singer is desperately trying to keep it that way.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jepsen's camp received an anonymous tip about the pics back in March ... and immediately called the Vancouver Police Department to report the cyber crime.
Cops jumped on the case ... and confirmed the tip was legit, Jepsen HAD been hacked.
A rep for the Vancouver PD tells us an active investigation is underway "in regards to a theft of electronic property belonging to Jepsen."
In fact, we're told cops already have a potential suspect lined up.
Sources tell us ... whoever hacked the pics stands to face some serious charges, including criminal harassment and unauthorized access of a computer ... and could spend some serious time in prison.
We reached out to Jepsen's rep for comment -- so far, no word back.

10 Gadgets Dad Needs for Father's Day
Father's Day brought in nearly $11 billion in spending last year, according to research firm IBISWorld, but how much of it went toward something he even remembers? Nearly $1.4 billion spent on clothes? That's just another tie in the rack. Another $1.3 billion on gift cards? We're sure he appreciates the whole 30 seconds it took to grab him one from the drugstore.
The man occasionally wants something that's not going to just make his life easier, but that he'll enjoy. Something he stands a chance of using through next Father's Day or the one after that. No, discount tickets to see his favorite team destroy a league cellar-dweller in late September don't count. We took a little shopping trip and found 10 gifts and gadgets that have a chance of holding his interest long after his Fudgie The Whale ice cream cake melts:
Kelvin.23 multitool
Price: $24
Not every father is the most handy individual in the world. Some of them just barely manage to get their light-beer tallboy open on the train ride home. That's the guy the Kelvin.23 was made for. Inside a rugged aluminum exterior roughly the size of a car key fob, there's a screwdriver with 16 interchangeable heads, an LED flashlight, a five-foot tape measure, a level and a hammer. He's not going to build cabinetry with this thing, but if he can use it to tweak a loose hinge on his glasses or pound a raised nail in an office floorboard, it'll be worth the investment.

I'm researching a novel that includes several chapters set at the 1975 Indianapolis 500. I'm planning to visit Indy in the third week of May, but know that whatever I see there will have changed from the era when the Foyts and Gurneys ruled the track. I'd love to exchange e-mails or even meet with a veteran who remembers racing at Indy way back when, either from a fan's perspective or -- better yet -- from that of a crew member.
The date is flexible. A story setting in 1975 is my first choice, but I could go as early as 1973 or as late as 1978 without having to revamp the plot.
This novel is more of a labor of love than a commercial project. (Don't look for it on Oprah's Book Club!) I've always wanted to finish it, am retired now, have the time, so why not? I'll probably self-publish.
I should also mention that the story includes chapters set at and around the Speedway, but isn't about auto racing. I'm doing the research because I want what I write to be accurate.
Please feel free to reply to this thread or to PM me, if that's more comfortable. If you're in Indianapolis, and are willing, perhaps we could meet there when I arrive.
Thanks for reading!

[quote author=The Joker link=topic=6444.msg988897#msg988897 date=1220100722]
The one thing that annoys me the most, i say one however it will probably be several...
When people such as myself who have had one or more failed attempts in the past, are then completely ignored when expressing a massive interest in suicide once more. Noone takes me seriously its as though they think, he wont do it and if he does, oh well. Seriously i wish people would take the warning signs more seriously rather than..
Waiting until its too late, then blaming themselves or turnign roudn and saying "how could you be so selfish?" "how could you do this to me?" and then several so called 'friends' use your death to get sympathy for themselves. Its fucking pathetic and disgusts me completely.
I know it has been a few weeks since this post....but dont ever think that everyone is ignoring you or not taking you seriously. Recently I went to a family members house when I got out of work ( Im 21, and my mother called bc she was fighting with her sister) and although her and my mother had both been drinking my mother had told me that her sister threatened to commit suicide. At the time that she told me...my aunt was upstairs putting her daughter back to bed (who I guess had woken up when the two of them were fighting..she has twins) and I didnt know what to do.I soon realized that they both had been drinking and Well I cornered my aunt and asked her if she had actually threatened to kill herself..and she admitted telling my mother that she was going to kill herself bc my mother (her oldest sister) had told her that she was a bad mom. As I tried to calm my aunt down...who has a history or mental health problems...my mother was calling 911..for what I think was a personal gain. at this point I had my aunt screaming to hang up...and since I knew that emergency personnel would call back/respond to a hang up I did what she asked. Immediately the phone rang after I hung up and I tried to say everything was ok...and the officer on the other end said he had to respond...I simply asked that they not use the sirens bc children were in the house. Before they arrive I ran upstairs to find the girls...I heard one of them cryingg but could not find them...each had a tent made over their bed. After calling their name I heard their father yelling...I walked into the master bedroom and explained the situation using 'code' names hoping the little ones woudlnt understand. Her husband didnt seem to care so I had to lie to the children about why the police department, as well as 2 ambulances and fire trucks were outside their window...all the while trying to avoid having my mother get a fine for being drunk in public.

Update IV of the Third Edition (Latest Updates)
Test Methods Frequent Questions
Welcome to"Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", also known as SW-846.
If you are looking for the latest update of SW-846, see Update IV of the Third Edition (Latest Updates) or the New Methods page. If you are looking for current methods not listed in the latest update or older versions of SW-846 they can be found in the SW-846 Federal Register Notices page. For any additional questions you can visit the Test Methods Frequent Questions or the MICE Service home page.
What is SW-846?
The EPA publication SW-846, entitled Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, is Waste's official compendium of analytical and sampling methods that have been evaluated and approved for use in complying with the RCRA regulations. SW-846 functions primarily as a guidance document setting forth acceptable, although not required, methods for the regulated and regulatory communities to use in responding to RCRA-related sampling and analysis requirements.
SW-846 is a multi-volume document that changes over time as new information and data are developed. It has been issued by EPA since 1980 and is currently in its third edition. Advances in analytical instrumentation and techniques are continually reviewed by EPA and incorporated into periodic updates to SW-846 to support changes in the regulatory program and to improve method performance and cost effectiveness. To date, EPA has finalized Updates I, II, IIA, IIB, III, IIIA, IIIB, IVA and IVB to the SW-846 manual, and the updated and fully integrated manual contains approximately 3500 pages.
Paper Copy of SW-846
An official printed copy of SW-846 and most of its updates can be purchased the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). Since SW-846 is available on-line the, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) subscription is no longer available.

Destroy All Podcasts DX Episode 243 - The Beast in Space
Hosts: D'Arcy, Jeremy
This is about robots with blond wigs wearing gold lamé bodysuits, guys with LOTS OF BODY HAIR (also goat legs), and horny computers. Yes, this is an Italian Star Wars ripoff.
Click [HERE] to watch the horses.
Pics and video after the cut.
The official poster art (used on the American DVD) is stolen from a Frank Frazetta painting. Frazetta originally painted a variation on this for the cover of an Edgar Rice Burroughs book called The Moon Maid.
You can see here the cover.
Here's Frazetta's revised version, the one stolen by The Beast in Space. So by my count, this movie ripped off Star Wars, Star Trek, The Beast, and Frank Frazetta. There may be more, but isn't this enough? Did I mention a good chunk of this movie was filmed in authentic ancient Roman ruins?
Here's another cover, I believe the Italian VHS release. It's much, much worse. If this is all they could come up with, you can see why they would want to steal Frazetta's work in the first place.
Pew! Pew!
See, this is why I don't rely on ancient computers to mind-control people.
"I quit med school to pursue my career in film acting."
Thrills the screen can barely contain!

Tomorrow is grocery day so tonight's meal was all about throwing things into a tortilla: sauteed sweet onions, orange and yellow peppers; roasted jalapenos; and chickpeas. Tasty, but really just a variation of stuff I have blogged before. I thought we needed something special for afters so I made vegan buñuelos, a Mexican fried dough dessert (that usually has egg and butter). From what I can see, there are a variety of ways to make these so I am not sure there is a "correct" way. I made these like wee little doughnuts since there is no vegan doughnut shop anywhere near here. The dough is not very sweet (they aren't like a Tim Horton's doughnut) but are absolutely addictive. They taste best when freshly cooked so I have posted a recipe for 6. Double or triple according to how many you are feeding. Word of warning: I have never had a "real" buñuelo to compare these to, but to my mind these are awesome and taste and look like I think they should.
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Vegan Buñuelos
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp ground anise
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp ground flax seed
- 3-4 tsp water
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Earth Balance margarine, melted
- oil for frying
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
1. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, anise, and sugar in a medium bowl.
2. In a small bowl add ground flax with 3 tsp of the water and let sit for a minute. Whisk with a fork until mixture thickens. Whisk in soy milk and vinegar.
3. Add flax mixture to the flour and mix with a fork. As the dough begins to come together mix in melted margarine with the fork. Use you hands to bring the dough together, adding the final tsp of water if needed. Knead dough on a counter top (floured, if needed) for 7 to 10 mins, or until dough is smooth. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky.
4. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and shape into balls. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 mins.
5. Heat a few inches of oil in a pan to about 375 degrees (med-hi on my stove). Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. While oil is heating, poke through the centre of each dough ball with the end of a wooden spoon and insert your pointer finger to shape each ball into a ring.
6. Fry in oil for about 60 seconds, turning once, until it floats and is a nice golden colour. If you use a small saucepan, like I do, you may want to flip it a few times. They like to sit at the bottom of the pan for a bit before they float, so they can brown quite quickly when in contact with the bottom of the pan.
7. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or paper bags. While still hit, toss each doughnut in the cinnamon and sugar. Enjoy right away.

The Lightning Ink Matt Carle | Tweet |
Written by Jeff Angus | ||||||||||||||||||||
Wednesday, 04 July 2012 21:17 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Fantasy Impact: The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed defenseman Matt Carle to a six-year deal worth an average of $5.5 million. The Lighting get: A solid top-four puck mover who is returning to Tampa Bay for a second stint. Carle's first was short lived – he lasted only 12 games after being acquired from San Jose in the Dan Boyle trade. The contract is a bit eye opening at first, but it represents market value for a defenseman of Carle's ilk at this point in time. He is a poor man's Ryan Suter, and the Lightning are a much better hockey team with him on the roster. Carle has averaged 38 points over the last three seasons in Philadelphia, although he has scored only 11 goals combined. He distributes the puck, can play a regular shift on the PP, and isn't a total defensive liability. The Lightning were really lacking in the puck moving department last year. For the Flyers in 2011-12, Carle played 1:43 per game on the PK, and 2:38 per game on the PP. Minutes that will have to be replaced internally (at this point, at least). For the Lightning, their heavy PK lifting was done by Eric Brewer (3:14 per game), Victor Hedman (2:53), and Brett Clark (2:04). Clark won't be returning, but Brewer and Hedman will. Marc-Andre Bergeron led Lightning blue liners with 2:48 of PP time per game, but he only played in 43 games. Brett Clark was second at 1:25. Carle and Sami Salo will likely be given the prime PP minutes, and one of the young guys (perhaps Mark Barberio if he makes the team) will be in the mix as well. Carle can play physical when need be, too: Fantasy Players Impacted: Carle goes from second pairing defenseman in Philadelphia to top pairing defenseman in Tampa Bay. He'll see some PK time, but the Lightning aren't paying him $5.5 million a year to defend. They really like his passing and vision, and he will be a huge help to their transition game at even strength and on the power play. Carle spent the majority of his time with Marc-Andre Bourdon in Philadelphia last year. He is likely hoping that he isn't paired with another Marc-Andre in Tampa Bay.
As it stands right now, the Flyers are going to miss Carle's puck moving and durability, a lot. They just lost close to 40 points and 23 minutes a night of solid defense (for the most part, Carle did have his stretches of poor play like any other non-super star). Potential pairings in Tampa Bay: Hedman-Salo Brewer-Carle Brenden Mikkelson – Brian Lee Keith Aulie Bergeron Potential pairings in Philadelphia: Coburn – Nicklas Grossman Kimo Timonen – Luke Schenn Andrej Meszaros – Bourdon Erik Gustafsson Andreas Lilja Fantasy Players this helps, in order: 1. Carle 2. Meszaros 3. Coburn 4. Erik Gustafsson 5. Lightining forwards (collectively, and those who will play with Carle on the PP). 6. Salo Fantasy Players this hurts, in order: 1. Bergeron 2. Barberio (short term) 3. Mikkelson 4. Write comment

Naked or not?Nudity in ballet and other dance forms
Posted 19 August 2009 - 05:51 PM
Impelled to try an epigram,
I never try to take the credit.
We all assume that Oscar said it.
- Dorothy Parker.
I met both Sir Robert Helpmann and Sir Anton Dolin, and found that they were both entirely capable of taking the credit for almost anything said by anyone else, ever. Avoided the esprit d'escalier, I suppose.

What do you think? Is nudity always acceptable? Never? Occasionally? Have we seen any and how did we react?
There seems to be a wide range of very interesting comments here but to me they digress into addressing two related but separate questions – Under what conditions, if ever, is nudity acceptable in performance art? And/or: Under what conditions, if ever, is nudity acceptable in classical ballet?
As many others here (but clearly not all), I feel there are certainly conditions under which nudity is acceptable in performance art, perhaps even essential in certain cases. Art is generally supposed to be subversive and provoke thought and reactions. As we see in the comments here, nudity can certainly achieve this. Having said that, I believe nudity can't make bad art good but it can make good art bad.
I'm less certain, for some of the reasons already stated, about the acceptability of nudity in classical ballet, not because of the potential of offending any prudish sensibilities but rather conflicting with the goals and aesthetics of the art form itself.
As to whether I've seen any performances with nudity lately, a couple of years ago I attended a performance of Bocca Tango Maipo with Julio Bocca. The choreography was a fusion of ballet and tango with modern elements by Argentinean Ana María Stekelman who, perhaps not surprisingly, had studied at the Martha Graham School. One of the duets was performed with Cecilia Figaredo, both wearing only black thongs, with the stage lights dimmed. More sensual than erotic, I felt it was very effective in capturing the intensity, mystery, romance, and passion of tango. Advance notice had been given in advertising.
As far as exposing children, I was always far more comfortable explaining nudity and even sexual themes in a tasteful, artistic context than trying to explain the degree of violence they were often unavoidably exposed to from so many other directions.
The latest reportfrom the front, or rather the back, as it were, by Alastair Macaulay in The New York Times.
No doubt.

Good point.....
Posted 19 August 2012 - 04:12 AM
Perhaps I was exposed to too much well-intentioned, but clumsily executed, naked dance -- and, frankly, too many less-than-beautiful bodies -- in the downtown NYC dance scene of the 60s and 70s Naked bodies definitely have their place on stage. But for me, nakedness when put in a spotlight is inevitably about literalism. It expresses a value system of "warts and all."
Ballet, on the other hand, is most effective when it idealizes the body and the body's ability to express feeling and music through movement. For me, this is what is most characteristic of classical ballet, and of classical dancing of all kinds. I don't just mean "looking pretty." Classical ballet is an art that focuses our eye on physical essentials while avoiding the distractions of too many competing details.
In this sense, if one exposes all the body parts and surface markings, it is just as bad as loading the dancers with costumes with far too many decorations.

Posted 20 August 2012 - 09:18 PM
Well, yes. I do have some trouble equating a dry hump onstage with barelegged ladies. Danseurs have occasionally gone without tights, as Macaulay notes, without posing a threat to the essence of the art form. I don't much care for the pointes-without-tights look, but it could be because I just don't see it that frequently (not that I'm complaining). As I remember Croce's original the-arabeseque-is-real quote in context, she was not talking so much about the idealization of the ballerina's body but her body presented as an abstraction, which isn't the same thing. What's so horrid about being reminded from time to time of the fleshly humanity of a female dancer by the removal of tights?
Posted 21 August 2012 - 03:48 AM
"Abstraction" seems pretty clear, though I'm having trouble imagining what Croce could have meant in this context. A stripping away of non-essentials?
As for "idealization," too often it is used to suggest de-sexualization or prettiness -- the opposite of "real." I prefer to think of it as a kind of meta-realism. A way of experiencing physical reality in terms of larger (possibly "higher") meanings and values. Beauty and even sexuality can and do transcend the physical surfaces of the human body.

Nothing, in my opinion, but physical attractiveness can momentarily distract me from the actual choreography.

Very nicely put, as usual. "A way of experiencing physical reality in terms of larger (possibly "higher") meanings and values" is not a bad way of defining a lot of ballet in general, although the experience isn't always conscious.
This NYCB Moves clip features bits of Symphony in 3 Movements and Duo Concertant danced barelegged, beginning at the 48 second mark.

Somehow, I found myself thinking of several beautifully drawn charts of muscle groups on a male torso, displayed on the walls of my gym.
The SVConcerto clip with Hyltin and Fairchild has the feel of a performance that might have been given when Balanchine was around. This demonstrates to me that, tights or no tights, it's what you do with the body that counts most.

The certified tax rolls in Manatee and Sarasota counties released July 1 confirmed a second, consecutive 10% drop in taxable values Key-wide.
Longboat Key officials, who anticipated a 10% to 12% drop in property values when they released the preliminary budget last month, confirmed a 10.5% drop in property values town-wide Monday, July 6.
The town's taxable values dropped approximately $621,409,263, marking the second time year-to-year taxable values have dropped on the island since 1988. Last year, the town's taxable values dropped $648,787,520.
Based on the town's current millage rate of 1.5 mills, the estimated tax-roll loss results in a budget revenue reduction of approximately $908,967.
The Town Commission will set its maximum millage rate at 7 p.m. tonight at the Town Commission regular meeting at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis has asked the commission to adopt the maximum millage rate of 1.6751 mills tonight while it continues its budget preparations.
St. Denis, however, does not anticipate presenting a budget with a millage rate that's higher than 1.5967 mills and will continue to erase the deficit to further lower the anticipated millage increase.
For more information on the commission's decision, visit www.YourObserver.com this evening for regular meeting updates and pick up a copy of the Thursday, July 9 Longboat Observer.

Research subject: Clinical Hypnotherapy and OCD.
A new area of research - participants requred to complete a quick questionnaire .
My name is Susan Ricketts and I am studying a Bsc degree in Clinical Hypnotherapy at St Mary's University London. I am conducting a research project into Clinical Hypnotherapy and OCD. I am interested in finding out what type of information OCD sufferers were offered connected to possible treatment interventions for OCD, the type of treatment received/receiving and its effectiveness. I would also like to find out about attitudes towards Clinical Hypnotherapy as a treatment intervention (or supportive intervention) before and after reading an information leaflet about hypnotherapy (provided in the questionnaire) and how likely an OCD sufferer would be to consider hypnotherapy as a treatment intervention if referred by their Doctor.
If you have suffered/still suffering with OCD, have received 2 or more treatment sessions (any type of treatment) for OCD and are over 18, please click the link to complete the questionnaire. http://www.survey.smuc.ac.uk/ocd It will only take a few minutes to complete and your time and support is much appreciated. Thank you.
Closing date 6th April 2012.

GEAX AKA 26" TNT Mountain Tire
The AKA was designed to dominate in situations where the knob must penetrate the ground without digging, and offer exceptional grip without slowing the wheel down. Even adverse terrains like gravel, sand, and grass aren't a match for this directional, well spaced, small blocked pattern. Gato-derived side knobs round out the profile, providing predictable cornering even when conditions get moist.

El Tesoro ParadisoThe Holy Grail for many tequila drinkers, this was spotted in Casa Tequila in Ixtapa and again in their store in Zihuatanejo. At $1,227 pesos (about $125US), it was a temptation but a bit too expensive for my already strained budget. Maybe next trip...

Old Tequila Olla JugHere is one for the history books. I don't know if anyone has seen anything like this before. It is roughly 6 inches in diameter, and probably would hold about a pint of liquid. It has a small pottery shot glass, tied to it. There is some evidence that this jug was corked and sealed with a hard wax seal. The closest vessel that I have seen, is an antique olla canteen, which is a spherical corked pottery jug, in a cloth or net bag.

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." - W.T. Purkiser

"This has become part of Thanksgiving tradition for many people," said Elizabeth Taylor, a volunteer for the church.
This is the 15th year the Thanksgiving Day meals have been delivered all across Grant County.

Crittenden Christian Disciples of Christ
The truth of our Christmas season is that we have let it become more about the "kings" of this world than about the coming of Christ the King.
Indeed, the Christmas season has become something other than what Christ himself would want for us. We spend much of our time and money shopping for extravagant presents for people who already have more than they need.
15 Years
This time of the year we usually start to think about cleaning off the front porch, emptying containers of declining summer annuals and replacing them with something a little showy for the fall. We hope that the old standby of mums will persist through the onset of winter but that depends on the weather and the shape the mums were in when we purchased them. I have seen some that still look largely intact and others that are ready to be pulled.
Recently, Kentucky State Police Intelligence Analyst Mindi Thompson, a nine-year veteran from Dry Ridge Post 6 in Dry Ridge, traveled to Frankfort to take part in the Kentucky Women's Law Enforcement Network awards ceremony.
Thompson was honored for her outstanding performance by the Kentucky Women's Law Enforcement Network as their member of the year. Thompson is the intelligence analyst at the Kentucky State Police Post in Dry Ridge and also works with a large group of law enforcement agencies in Northern Kentucky.
Thanksgiving and pride cannot exist together. Pride is a common problem. Pride is something that can be misunderstood. We are proud of our kids, our family, our church, our schools etc….
We feel good about many things and we take pride in them. However, pride is something that can be destructive. Pride comes before a fall (Proverbs 16).

NORRISTOWN The creators of five local planning projects were the recipients of the 2012 Montgomery Awards, recognized during a program Wednesday before the planning commission.
The annual awards are designed to reward innovators in planning and design. The categories include excellence in land development and revitalization in the community.
Among the recipients, Cold Point Manor and Germantown Academy, both located in Whitemarsh Township, won awards for high-quality land development.
The land development award focuses on excellence in land development and planning concepts. The revitalization award recognizes successful projects and programs of the sort.
Cold Point Manor is a 9.4-acre carriage home community at the intersection of Flourtown Road and Butler Pike. Designed by local builder Sal Paone, the project boasts townhome dwellings in small groupings of five, surrounded by manicured lawns and landscaping. Paone got approval for the development before the Whitemarsh Board of Supervisors in 2010. It was a joint collaboration between the developer and the township.
Germantown Academy, Phase 1, was selected to receive a Montgomery Award for its environmentally sensitive site planning, sustainable building design and restoration of features likened to nature. The 160,000-sq. ft., two-story middle school and three-story upper school was constructed in the buildings original footprint. It was engineered by Abingtons Charles E. Shoemaker, Inc.
We were very honored. It felt for us that we had served the community well, said Jim Connor, head of Germantown Academy.
Part of our goal was to be a community resource for our neighborhood. We are a very open campus and we like for people to come and visit and the land development plan we put in place. It was designed to make our property an educational resource, so when you are on campus, you are learning something while youre there.
Additional recipients were the Cynwyd Heritage Trail a 2.5-mile contemporary linear park along the former SEPTA Cynwyd regional rail line in Bala Cynwyd, Lower Merion; Cannon Square in Lansdale a 1.34-acre new townhome community at the intersection of Second and Cannon streets; and the Glenside Commercial District streetscape enhancements along the Easton Road corridor.
The sustainable design at Germantown Academy in Whitemarsh Township I thought we revitalized the community right on the border of Plymouth and Whitemarsh township(s), said Board of Commissioners Vice Chairwoman Leslie Richards.
The infill development in Lansdale Borough really took advantage of an unpleasant site. It really made it work for that township as well. In Glenside, there was a great business development there that really helped the Glenside community. In Lower Merion Township, the trail is not only in Montgomery County, but connects us to Philadelphia. Its widely used and is also a great example of sustainable trails.

WASHINGTON -- "Joy to All" is the theme of the Obamas' fourth Christmas in the White House, which threw open its festive, fir-draped doors today to the first guests of the season: U.S. troops and their children.
Fifty-four live Christmas trees lend color and sparkle to the executive mansion. The largest of the trees is an 18-foot-6-inch Fraser fir from North Carolina that is festooned with ornaments crafted by children on U.S. military bases around the world.
Amid the greenery and garlands, another highlight: a gingerbread house, weighing almost 300 pounds, featuring lighted chandeliers and a replica of First Lady Michelle Obama's garden.
The inaugural guests included Capt. Luis Avila, 42, and his wife and son. Avila lost a leg and suffered a brain injury from a makeshift bomb in Afghanistan during his fifth wartime deployment.
PHOTOS: President Obama's past
Obama engaged four Chicago artists -- David Condon, David Lee Csicsko, Jami Darwin Chiang and Heidi Feinerman -- to add creative touches to the decor, along with Chicago event planner Gabrielle Martinez.
They joined about 85 volunteers from 38 states and the District of Columbia. Tracy Jacobson, 54, a retired detective from Irvine, Calif., was among the volunteers. "Amazing," she called the experience. "One of the most incredible things of my life."
A replica of Bo, the Obamas' black-and-white Portuguese water dog, appears outside the gingerbread house, and, as in previous years, has a starring role throughout the White House's Christmas displays.
The estimated 90,000 visitors who will stream through in coming weeks will receive a bookmark with check-off boxes to signify they've spotted Bo ornaments or "Boflakes" in eight locales, including the Red Room and the Green Room.
His own quarters — the Bo-val Office, so to speak — is not part of the tour.

After receiving a text from my dad today about the women on the tube with their great big hat boxes heading toward Wimbledon, I decided it was time to reminisce on the summer of 2006. It was a good summer. A summer of friendships and traveling pants… no, seriously, my pants traveled.
I was in a strange space during my study abroad. I was in the middle of ending a pretty long term relationship with a pretty awful he-who-must-not-be-named. For the only time in my life, I chopped my hair nice and short, making me look 5 years younger than I already did. I was a know-it-all (nothing's changed, I know), and I know I drove everyone crazy.
Let me tell you a little bit about my study abroad group. It was 95% estrogen. Need I say more? Ok. Without further ado, from the archives of my undergrad past, the hottest summer in London's history. Study Abroad, 2006.
If you didn't believe me about the heat wave, check this out:
Rooming in the attic, with one window, and no air conditioning made sleeping quite an adventure. That summer I learned how to sleep on top of the covers in nothing more than my knickers. So Amy and I spent a lot of our time at Trafalger Square, cooling off in the fountain.
Every time I visit London, someone drags me to the Tower of London. Once I'm done looking at the Crown Jewels, this is about all I have left in me: (real mature, I know)
Portobello Road, Portobello Road, Street where the riches of ages are stowed. Anything and everything a chap can unload is sold off the barrow in Portobello Road.
And then there's Abbey Road…
And while we're on the famous locations list, Wimbledon. Arguably (by me) the best sports tournament ever.
Since we were cute, young, American girls, the security guards let us sneak into Centre Court, where we saw Venus Williams:
And then, since Pirates of the Carribbean II was opening in the UK, we saw this guy. Yummy.
And, since she was studying across the street from us, we saw her, too. Actually, we ran into her (literally, in my case, on the sidewalk) daily. (Misha Barton, I know, it's hard to see but this picture was weeks in the making…)
The necessary Stonehenge pictures:
And my favorite statue in all of London. Peter Pan. With my lovely friend, Tiffany, who came to visit on her way back from Spain!
Because of the heat, we played hookie one day and hit up Brighton Beach.
Give Peace a Chance:
And I end on the best part of our trip, Henry, the Incredible Vacuum Cleaner. He sat up at the top of our stairs every night when Amy and I stumbled back into our room, a little too much Strongbow ingested. He looked after us because he knew more about Walkabout night clubs than we did at that time… and we loved him dearly.
Isn't he cute?
So go on with your bad self, London. I'm ready for another Wimbledon… bring it on! Host the Olympics, you deserve it! And to the Royal Family, you simply rock. I love you. See you again, soon. Cheers.

I untangle my legs and pull myself away from Adeline; she's flipping through a book, sitting on the floor of her room, distracted. I scurry into the kitchen and find my phone. My fingers instinctively find the Instagram app and open it. I hit refresh and wait for the page to load. Damn. No new likes on my most recent picture. I start to wonder if maybe its no good. I scroll through the feed and "Like" some other pictures, partly because I do, in fact, like them, but partly just for good karma. Okay people, like my pictures now!
Next I check Facebook, hoping someone will have "Liked" my latest update or post. And then there's Twitter, did anyone reply or retweet me? And, of course, there's the blog. I refresh my email over and over, hoping for a comment notification or at least a "Like."
And that's when it hits me: I'm gonna have to face it, I'm addicted to Likes.
