I put "says report" in the headline because nothing is official yet. Some of the big reporters on Twitter are saying an agreement is close, but not yet in place. But Jerry Crasnick says an agreement is in place, between Erick Aybar and the Los Angeles Angels. Here, I'll prove it.
Erick Aybar deal with #angels is for 4 years and $35 million guaranteed— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) April 18, 2012
Just the other day, we were given this nugget:
The Angels would prefer to sign Aybar for something closer to the four-year, $33.5-million deal second baseman Howie Kendrick got in January. Aybar is believed to be looking for at least five years and $50 million.
Let's say for the sake of simplicity that both reports are true. The Angels wanted to give Aybar one thing. Aybar wanted something bigger. Aybar is getting what the Angels wanted to give him, without even really meeting in the middle. Those are some shrewd negotiating skills on Aybar's agent's part. Of course, what's more important than the money Aybar isn't getting is the money Aybar is getting, and he's getting a lot of money. Good for him. He and his family are going to be wealthy long after we're dead.
The expectation is that there will be official confirmation of an Aybar extension on Thursday. The 28-year-old shortstop was to become a free agent this coming offseason. He just won a Gold Glove in 2011, and he has a career 88 OPS+, which is okay. He has a 95 OPS+ since 2009, which is more okay. Aybar is presently a very good player with a broad assortment of skills, and one should also never underrate his .gif potential. Erick Aybar has tremendous .gif potential.
Erick Aybar: good player, fun player. Right kind of guy to sign to an extension.

So OK, granted Trent and the band prove that they can perform with the best of them. They put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into each and every song, but, did someone forget to do a decent job at mixing the CD? I love NIN and always have, but the chopped off beginning and endings drive me nuts. It's like they downloaded these songs using a file sharing proggy. (All you former Napster users know exactly what I mean…) Whatever happened to fade in, fade out? That aside, if you are a true NIN fan, this CD is a must have. They are definitely one of the best live bands out there. Their music has heart, soul and that extra something that gets the blood pumping.
Nine Inch Nails Biography - Nine Inch Nails Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
The biggest difference between a kick-ass studio album and a kick-ass live album? Intensity. Live: And All That Could Have Been, recorded on Nine Inch Nails' 2000 "Fragility 2.0" U.S. tour, provides that trait in abundance. It helps that Trent Reznor has a band, instead of just a battery of keyboards, to help him work through 16 tracks of the raging yet surprisingly listenable musical vitriol that made him a star. The live musicians, who allow him some freedom to play with tempo, help kick "Closer" up a notch and lend some atmospheric weight to a slow version of "The Frail." The band rips into older material with gusto; Reznor sounds just as pissed off performing "Head Like a Hole" as he did in 1989. The CD closes with "Hurt," which might seem like an odd choice, but somehow, after everything that's come before, it's like the denouement of a tragedy. While a CD can only capture a piece of NIN's onstage energy, their first live album is an intense, sometimes overwhelming recording, further vindication of NIN's continuing popularity and influence. –Genevieve Williams

4 1/2 stars
When it comes to live albums, you never know. I'm often let down. Live versions of songs usually sound thin in comparison to the studio recordings and are usually just something that the hard-core fans will want. Fortunately, this is not the case with Nine Inch Nails live album "And All that Could Have Been."
The main difference between a live NIN album and a studio recording is the presence of a backup band. On "And All that Could Have Been," Trent Reznor is joined with Robin Finck (guitar, keyboard), Danny Lohner (bass, guitar, keyboard), Jerome Dillon (drums) and Charlie Clouser (keyboards). These songs were recorded from various shows during the 2000 "Fragility" tour.
I actually prefer the live versions of the "Pretty Hate Machine" era songs to the originals. Although "Pretty Hate Machine" is a classic, a remastered version would be welcome. With a backup band and added guitar, "Terrible Lie," "Sin," and "Head like a Hole" sound stronger here then they do on the original release. While the live renditions of the other tracks (from "The Downward Spiral," "Broken," "The Fragile" and misc.) generally do not surpass the studio versions, they sound exciting none-the-less and should please most fans by giving them a different take on the songs. The rendition of "Hurt" sounds especially interesting. One might think that such a personal, intimate song would not translate well in the arena, but it never looses its intensity. Indeed, "Hurt" sounds just as powerful here as it does on "The Downward Spiral," only its power is magnified by the presence and empathy of a subdued yet energized audience.
The tracklist serves, more-or-less, as a NIN greatest hits. While one could argue for the inclusion of some songs, and the exclusion of others, it's essentially a good overview and sampling of NIN catalogue up to that point. The order of the songs is arranged in such a way that the album never looses momentum or is anti-climatic. While the songs were taken from different shows, the album sounds coherent and never hackneyed. Trent Reznor notes in the accompanying live DVD that "And All that Could Have Been." comes as close as you can to emulate the live NIN experience. NIN is definitely an exciting band to see live and this CD (and the DVD) do a great job of capturing the live experience.
"And All that Could Have Been." was originally released as a single album and also as a double album with a second disc titled "Still." This second disc contains stripped down renditions of various NIN songs. While this double CD edition is now out-of-print (although it can be bought used at Amazon) the "Still" CD is still available via NIN.com. For NIN fans it's defiantly worth checking out.
"And All That Could Have Been" is a live album from NIN's 2000 Fragility Tour. I'm not usually big on live albums, but this one is awesome. The sound is absolutely masterful, as if you're right up on stage in front of Trent and his touring band.
As for the songs, there's a nice mix. Of course, you have the obligatory favorites like "Closer", "Head Like a Hole", and "Hurt", all of which sound at least as good as the originals.
"March of the Pigs" is as intense as ever, and "Piggy" is as omnious and creepy as ever. Then, there's a selection of songs from "The Fragile" of course, including the epic, powerful "The Wretched", the heart wrenching ballad "The Great Below", the slow building "The Day the World Went Away", and a killer extended version of the instrumental "The Mark Has Been Made".
My favorites are "Terrible Lie", "Sin", and "Suck", three of Trent's earlier songs. On their respective albums, they were good songs marred slightly by dated production. However, in this live setting, they really come to life, sounding much more powerful and intense than the studio versions.
Let me also recommend, try to get ahold of the companion EP to this titled "Still" (as opposed to "Live"). It features some new songs as well as stripped down versions of some NIN classics.
Ever since Trent Reznor and his band made a mud-drenched splash as Woodstock 1994, almost all music fans have known that Nine Inch Nails put on a fantastic live show. NIN's first live disc (which was recorded on the "Fragility: 2.0 Tour") proves that their live songs make their original, studio versions sound tame and controlled. "And All That Could Have Been" is about as intense and full of vitriol as industrial metal gets. And, from the opening wallop of "Terrible Lies" to the dark, introspective "Hurt," which closes out the album, every song is a hit.
The crowd is only rarely audible, and they know when to shut up (like during the ballads), so the audience noise never gets in the way of the music.
Tracks like "Terrible Lies," "Head Like A Whole" (both singles from NIN's 1989 debut, "Pretty Hate Machine") and "Starfers, Inc." pack a powerful, cathartic, adrenalized punch. Plus, these songs sound even louder and crisper, here, than in the studio. Elsewhere, electronic frenzied, techno-lite cuts like "Sin" and "March Of The Pigs" are heavy on new-wave keyboards, and "Piggy," "The Frail" (a piano interlude), and "The Great Below" are very slow and ambient. Songs like "Suck" and "Closer" bring the best of both worlds; these songs have a stomping rhythm section married with synths and other atmospheric instruments. And, lastly, the ballads ("The Day The World Went Away" and "Hurt") are very touching and beautiful.
So, this album *IS* all that it could have been, and more. It's no less than great, and it's as close to being perfect as live albums get nowadays.
THE SOUND QUALITY…is incredible. It sounds as good as a studio recording. And the audience is there in the mix, but ever so subtley… the cheering doesn't overpower the music. And the volume is so wonderful… i usually keep my headphones on level #9… with this CD, i have to keep it down on 6 or 7 as to not deafen myself. I've never heard such a good live recording… even other licensed ones put out by the artists themselves.THE VARIATIONS ON THE MUSIC…is wonderful. His inflections, his emotions, are clearly visible. It doesn't sound like a live version of the studio albums, but rather has an improvised feel – it sounds raw… but perfect.THE ENERGY…is out of this world. The crowd, the music, the vocals… everything is just so powerful. That's really the only way to describe this.This is so far my favorite CD of 2002… and i don't see another one surpassing it for a while. Any NIN fan must have this… or it would be an awesome way to discover the band.

The Vans' Warped Tour is coming to Salt Lake City this Saturday, August 2nd! If you've never been to a music festival before, Warped Tour is great training. Maybe one day you may want to move up to Coachella, Lollapalooza or Bonnaroo. The Vans' Warped Tour is a one-day festival with a ticket price around $30, so you can afford it. Everyone should experience at least one music festival. We have also sprinkled bands we are excited to see at the fest through this blog.
If you are attending Warped Tour for the first time here is some wisdom from your friends at X96. It's Vans' Warped Tour 101:
Tickets: You can buy tickets by clicking here. Don't wait until the day of to buy tickets because it will cost about five dollars more. Also, don't buy tickets in the parking lot or from scalpers. You never know what you are getting there.
You can bring your parents: If you are under 18 and your parents are worrisome, then they can come with you for free. Most likely they will have a great experience as well as long as you keep them fed and watered. Warped offers one complimentary parent admission per ticket to any minors. If you are under 18 and need to convince your parents to let you go, then this should help. There is a "parents only" booth at Warped Tour, which is basically a daycare for adults. NOTE: Guardians accompanying minors to the show must be legal guardians over the age of 28.
Times & stages: Bands will find out when they are playing the morning of that day's show, which means the schedule will not be posted anywhere on the Warped Tour website or any band's social media accounts prior to that day. X96 recommends showing up early so you don't miss your favorite bands. Near the entrance, there will be a huge inflatable "billboard" with the bands, the stages, and the times of their performances posted. There are eight stages spread throughout the fairgrounds. The bands listed above are subject to change. Take a picture of the lineup and the map in case you forget or the loose the map.
Avoid the long line: Bring three cans of food, a $5 donation, or a used cell phone to the Feed Our Children NOW! Tent located near the "skip the line" flag. They will let you skip to the front of the line for your donations.
Food & Water: X96 are Warped Tour veterans. To save money bring a CamelBak or the like with you or an empty water bottle you can refill throughout the day. Plan to grab a slice of pizza so something mid-day and meet with your friends (or that special someone you may meet at the show) after.
BRING CASH: Tents aren't going to accept plastic. Make sure to pull cash before you enter the fairgrounds, so you don't have to pay a bunch of ATM service fees.
What you can and can't bring: You CAN bring a small lightweight backpack (or CamelBak), sunscreen, snacks, a point-and-shoot style camera (no professional cameras unless you have the right credentials), sharpie, cell phone, comfortable sneakers, and a hat. You CANNOT bring chains (like wallet chains), professional cameras, alcohol, recording devices, weapons, firearms, or any illegal drug substance (just a reminder in case you forget your common sense).
Band signings: Bands will have their signing times posted at their merchandise booths. So, in your spare time, check out all the booths for possible meet and greet times. Also, a lot of merch + sponsor booths give out free stuff like wristbands, sunglasses, posters, etc. If you're looking for free stuff: any movie booth will be giving out free stuff, Trojan gives out free things (yes, condoms), Alternative Press has some limited freebies, Monster Energy usually gives out drinks, and the X96 booth will have some stuff too.
Medical Assistance: If you need medical care, look for the first aid flag at the medical booths. There will be plenty of other fun things to do Warped Tour other than watch bands. There will be slip n' slides set up around the fairgrounds, some movie tents will show exclusive trailers, and of course you can hang out at your band's signings.
The Vans' Warped Tour is there for you to have fun, go nuts! Wear light and breathable clothing, bring plenty of water, cash, & sunscreen. Come with a good attitude and have a good time.
A quick lesson in things that you can, and can't buy in America. For the most part, things you are, and are not allowed to buy in The U.S. are pretty self-explanatory, and even make good sense. I can't buy a kidney. Or a child. That much is pretty obvious. But what about the other things that don't make all that much sense? I have found a few items that I would LIKE to buy, but can't because somebody somewhere has deemed them too dangerous. So I made a list, and compared that to a list of things that are 1000x times MORE dangerous, yet I can buy no problem. Feel free to add your own ideas. CAN'T: LAWN DARTS! Or "Jarts"
Back in the 70's and 80's toys were made of an extremely durable material called "metal". This not only helped to make your toys last longer, but also made them a LOT more fun to throw at other kids. Somebody had the idea to take a sharpened hunk of metal, attached some fins to them, and sent those sumbitches airborne. What could go wrong?! It's not like kids are going to lob those bad boys like SCUDs into a neighbor's yard or anything right? Well, actually yeah. That's exactly what we did. My cousins had a set, and for us they were more like "fence darts".
That fence was a commie, man. In the 80's we fought commies. And ninjas.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were over 6000 serious injuries reported and one confirmed death, of which 81% were under the age of 15. So yeah, let's not make those any more. Good call. But here's the weird part. Not only are they illegal to sell. And illegal to bring into the country, but they are illegal to POSSESS. You can't even HAVE them. I'm guessing the founding fathers did not have the time to include "poorly thought out yard games" in their list of priorities, otherwise we would have that in the constitution. Which brings me to CAN: An AR-15!
First off, I swear the first person that tries to turn this blog into a gun debate is going to get a Lawn Dart to the junk. BUT, yes it IS a little odd that it's easier for me to get an AR-15 than a functioning set of Lawn Darts. But as the official X96 "Right Wing Gun Nut" I can attest to how easy it is to buy a firearm. I bought my AR online on a website called gunbroker.com, which is like eBay for guns. That's not a joke. There is an eBay for guns, and it's awesome!
That fence is in SERIOUS trouble.
And while it was perfectly safe, and I had to have it shipped to a local gun store so that all the background info could be done, it's still true that I bought a very sophisticated weapon on the internet from what most people by now are picturing as a cartoon villain. CAN'T: KINDER EGGS.
Kinder Eggs are neat. They're small chocolate eggs containing smaller plastic choking hazards masquerading as toys. I don't know of any child that is able to swallow an entire egg whole, but as a new dad I can promise you that kids will figure out how to put an entire cat in their mouth in the 5 seconds it takes you to realize that your cat is missing. The law keeping us safe from Kinder Egg terrorism actually pre-dates their invention by about 30 years, dating back to a time that according to HBO's Boardwalk Empire was full of sex and death. I don't have the law in front of me, but it sums up as "hey don't put stuff in our food".
Turns out most things involving "choking" were discouraged.. Get it?
I actually had no idea what these were until a saw a news story a couple of years ago about a guy threatened with $10,000 in fines and jail time for bringing a handful of Kinder Eggs into the US from Canada. So while it's perfectly legal for a guy who played "fence darts" as a kid to buy an AR-15 on the internet, it's OUT OF THE QUESTION to bring a Kinder Egg into the country. Which is funny because one of my favorite things to do WITH my AR-15 is shoot something called "Tannerite" CAN: Tannerite!
Tannerite is actually a brand name for an "exploding target". Basically fertilizer and aluminum that when mixed with a shot from a rifle makes a huge mess out of anything that happens to be near by. Never heard of it? Check out what it can do to a car. So yeah obviously there are some restrictions that come with this one, but for the most part, and especially here in Utah, it's legal to buy year round, and legal to make ka-blooey noises. You can literally go into a sporting goods store and buy a jar of this stuff for about what it would cost to eat some Taco Bell. You might even get the same results.
You'll want to make some delicious brownies.
CAN'T: Advil Cold and Sinus.
Alright, so a bit of a stretch. Of course it's not actually a CAN'T. But thanks to a little thing called meth it's a serious pain in the ass to get. I have to give the cashier my drivers license, which means I have to take it out of the little window thing in my wallet. I hate doing that… You know what I can buy WITHOUT a drivers license?
Yeah man. The one tool that is almost as synonymous with murder and dismemberment as it is for its intended use. Think about it. Have you ever been chased out of a local haunted house with a box of Sudafed? No. BUT I can go into a Home Depot right now and pay 50 bucks cash for a chainsaw without so much as a "hello" before I'm out dismembering a clown that I have in the trunk of my car. I'm also pretty sure it's against the law to have a clown in the trunk of your car. I'll have to check into that.
Intern Zach McEntire here, or "Z" as Richie sometimes calls me. I recently talked to the historians of the Utah Historical Society concerning the name and history of 300 S. Street, or more commonly known as Broadway.
According to an article in the old Salt Lake Telegram (former newspaper publication), the idea to change the name to Broadway was proposed and petitioned by multiple local businesses and department stores that relocated to Broadway from Main Street. During the time, there were a lot of updates and changes made to the street, accoridng to the article, "[T]he changes that have been made in the Third South street skyline during the last few months, and the transforming of the thoroughfare from a 'back street' into one of the potentially greatest and busiest streets of the city, by reason of the contemplated transfer of a number of the largest department stores of the state, and other big businesses from Main Street loaction to the new shopping district, persons who revisit Salt Lake City wihtin the next year...will be compiled to ask one of the neatly unifromed policemen...if they dropped from the train in the wrong town."
Because of these changes on 300 South and the relocation of multiple businesses - some of them being department stores such as Paris and Keith O'Brien - these businesses wanted a more distinct name that would draw more people, specifically visitors, into their stores - especially since the street was right next to the train stop. According to the Salt Lake Telegram, "Among the arguments that are offered by those favoring the change is the fact that this thoroughfare is one of the widest business streets in the country: that the view from the Denver & Rio Grande and the Western Pacific passenger station, at the foot of the street is one of the most enticing that can be seen from any railroad passenger station in America: that a large bulk of the city's retail business will eventually be done on that street; and, finally, that Broadway is a distinctive name, one that commands and holds attention."
However, there were some who were opposed to the name change. According to another article in the Telegram, the Post Office doesn't agree with the name change stating, "If the name Third South is changed to Broadway it will set a new precedent. New names will be creeping in and taking the places of all our good old-fashioned names. It's all right to name streets after our New Yorkers and brethren from other cities when we can find no other names suitable, but this idea of uprooting our foundation of street names is painful to me."
At the time, the petition was turned down by the city comission, they thought of it as "ill advised." So, business owners simply referred to the street as Broadway and after decades of the street being called Broadway, the titlewas added as an additional address name.
We've been hearing for YEARS now "oh yeah, there's a new Tool album coming". Literally, YEARS. Which is almost long enough for me to have played "10,000 Days" from start to finish.
Wait, which one of these is about Prison Sex?
The members of Tool are now opening up and explain that some legal issues have added to the delay, and are mostly to blame for the gap between albums. Maynard and Co. tell the assholes at "Rolling Stone" that for the past seven years, they've been dealing with a series of lawsuits and countersuits. This hullabaloo started when a friend of guitar man Adam Jones wanted credit for artwork he claimed he gave the band. Tool's insurance company then sued the band "over technicalities" in the case, then Tool said "NUH UH" and responded with a countersuit.
Wait, did he call the people from Rolling Stone assholes?
This specific case is set to go to trial in January, but Jones says these legal issues have had an impact on the band members' relationships with each other, and adds that it's "hard to be creative when you have something awful nagging at you."
Still, Tool has found time to work on new material for the follow-up to the band's 2006 effort "10,000 Days." Drummer Danny Carey says they hope to have "something really solid" recorded by the end of the year, but he admits he said the same thing last year.
I suppose we'll wait and see!

FIREWORKS DISPLAYS will illuminate the skies this week during Fourth of July celebrations. As we enjoy these holiday festivities, it's important for us to remember that this can be a very traumatic time for our pets.
Loud noises can frighten animals, causing them to panic and even run away from home. In fact, animal shelters across the country report an increased number of lost animal companions after fireworks displays.
"Every year, dogs and cats bolt from their yards or homes in fear during the holiday festivities," says Keri Fennell, MHS director of customer services. "In an attempt to find refuge, some pets become lost or wind up at the local animal shelter." Fortunately, there are steps you can take to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday for you and your pet. Just follow these simple guidelines.
The dos
Keep your pets indoors during fireworks displays. A quiet, sheltered area is best. Close windows and curtains and turn on the TV or radio to help drown out some of the noise. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure to remove any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful if chewed. You'll find that some dogs will prefer to lay in the bathroom as the small space will buffer the sound better.
Make sure your pets are wearing current identification so that if they do become lost, they can be returned to you promptly. The best ID combination consists of a microchip, plus a pet license tag and a personalized tag hanging from the collar. Every lost pet that is brought to the Marin Humane Society is checked for any type of identification and scanned for a microchip.
The don'ts
Take your dog to a fireworks display. It's usually hot, there are always large crowds, and the dogs really don't enjoy it.
Leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a tether. Pets who normally wouldn't try to leave the yard may panic and try to escape. Dogs may become entangled in their tethers or hang themselves if they try to leap over a fence. To avoid injury, keep your pets indoors.
There are other ways to help ensure your pets have an enjoyable holiday. If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by the sounds of fireworks, consult with your veterinarian in advance. Your vet may recommend a fast-acting, anti-anxiety medication. The key is to give the medications before the noise starts — they are less effective if you wait until the dog is already stressed.
If, despite your best efforts, your animal companion does become lost, don't panic. Check inside garages, yards, storage sheds, basements, closets, under cars and in the shrubbery at your home and throughout the neighborhood. The Marin Humane Society can assist you in finding a lost pet. Search the lost animal database on our website, and come to the shelter to check the kennels and fill out a lost pet report. You also can download lost animal flyers from the MHS website at www.marinhumanesociety.org and check our 24-hour lost animal hotline at 883-3621.
Happy Independence Day!

International Petition to save Historic Helsinki-Malmi Airport
Helsinki-Malmi Airport is a world-class historic and cultural treasure. It is a beautifully preserved 1930's international airport, of which very few have survived to present day in their original use. Such a proud, living monument of an independent nation's history deserves the respect of the present and future generations.
It is all the more important to save the living historic aviation milieu of Helsinki-Malmi Airport as it is the backbone of general aviation and pilot training in Finland.
The planned destruction this unique historic environment to make room for a suburb cannot serve the greater good of society, especially if considerable areas of unused land exist elsewhere in the city and its surroundings.
We, the undersigned, wish to see Helsinki-Malmi Airport preserved as an active airfield of great historic, architectural and functional value.
This form is meant only for people that are not Finnish citizens. There is a separate form for Finnish signatures.
HUOM! Tämä lomake on tarkoitettu vain henkilöille, jotka eivät ole Suomen kansalaisia. Suomen kansalaisille on oma, erillinen lomake.
Your e-mail address will be kept absolutely confidential. It will not be stored in any publicly accessible place, and will under no circumstances be divulged outside Friends of Malmi Airport Society.

The 2013 Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season is two days old and I'm already watching one system not too far from home.
According to satellite, radar, and surface analysis, a broad area of low pressure at the surface is located generally south of 25 degrees latitude. The lowest pressure is focused in two areas. First, a weak center of low pressure is positioned near 18 North and 95 West. A trough of low pressure extends from the Yucatan Peninsula to the Straits of Florida. The moisture is rich and deep over that area and daytime heating is activating convection.
Any development of this system will be slow, but several of our reliable forecast models forecast indicate development is possible later this week or into the weekend.

1 dead in Idaho Falls apartment fire
One person died in an apartment fire early Saturday morning, the Idaho Falls Fire Department said.
Fire crews responded to the fire at 1440 Alice Ave. around 7 a.m. Officials would not release the name of the victim, but neighbors tell Local news 8 it was a woman in her fifties.
"She passed away with her dog," said Robert Sargent, who says he knew the victim well.
Fire marshal Ken Anderson said the fire originated in the victim's apartment, and didn't spread to other apartments. However, crews said apartment residents would not be able to stay in their homes Saturday night because of smoke.
"Where the doorway is they've got a piece of plywood and there's smoke damage in the hallway," said Rod Calvin, who delivered mail to the apartments shortly after the fire.
Crews had left the scene by 11 a.m. They say they do not know how the fire was started.
No additional information has been released at this time. Check back here for updates.

Judging by Robert Irvine's chiseled physique, you pretty much know instantly this guy doesn't shy away from a challenge. Whether it's lifting weights or aiding failing restaurants, the super muscular chef likes to be front and center, literally sweating it out.
The Restaurant Impossible star likes doing things for other people, even at his own expense.
With Irvine's new Food Network series Restaurant Express, premiering at 9 p.m. Nov. 3, the 49-year-old Brit heads to Las Vegas to give nine chefs a chance of fulfilling their lifelong dream of launching their own place. The winner gets the sweet executive-chef spot at M Resort Spa Casino.
In February, Irvine will hop into the South Beach Wine & Food Festival fray, attending numerous events including the always entertaining Fun and Fit as a Family at Jungle Island. We spoke to the Tampa-based television personality from his second home, the road.
You've helped so many businesses with your show "Restaurant Impossible." That must make it feel good to wake up in the morning.
You know, it does. I also am involved in a lot of charity work. Doing something good doesn't cost anything. I'm blessed with very special people in my life, like my wife [he married pro wrestler Gail Kim last year]. I feel like you want to do something for someone else each day so you're worth breathing air on this planet.
It seems like you are always moving around. Do you ever sit still?
I really don't have much down time. I'm literally going one place to the other. I'm either on a plane or a bus or a car going from location to location. I try to catch up on sleep on planes. I first have to see if I'm on the right flight [laughs] then usually I tried to close my eyes, and someone comes over, 'Mr. Irvine, can we take a picture?' I think fans know me from the back of my head!
What do fans usually say to you?
Oh I get everyone, from dishwashers to a woman asking me how to lose baby weight to a couple trying to keep their marriage working. I'm a tough guy and I give straight, down and dirty answers. Some people can handle it, some people can't. I think they know I'm a good guy.
Obviously, you must make time for the gym.
I do. I have to. It's really important because a workout keeps me energized and focused. You know, stress is a killer and with my pace...I usually do about an hour of quality chest work, then about 20 to 30 minutes of cardio. I try to get outside with my girls [daughters Annalise, 16, and Talia 12, from a previous relationship]. You don't want them sitting inside and letting the computer be the babysitter. Nothing can replace the one-on-one time you get with your kids.
Have they inherited your love of food?
They have. They're just not mac and cheese and chicken fingers. They just came back from Paris and were eating snails! I used to shop for food with them when they were little. Kids listen if you make education fun.

When Hidemi Walsh moved to the United States, she started to learn to cook all over again. Born and raised in Japan, she decided to take on the challenge with an adventuresome spirit.
"When I first moved from Japan, we had lots of Japanese food — not typical American food," Walsh said. "I've learned a lot and like to try new things."
Her husband, Jim, serves as her "tester" for new recipes. She said her mother-in-law has been a great help too.
The couple has been married for four years. They lived in Virginia for two of those.
"We moved to Plainfield two-and-a-half years ago," she said. "People are very nice here. They are a lot more friendly than the big city."
Cooking with different foods has been a fun experience for Walsh.
"Sometimes I will get food that I don't know how to cook," she said. "It's good for me."
She found a website — www.justapinch.com — where she could submit her recipes for a contest.
Walsh is one of 71 Plainfield residents sharing recipes with the social network, which in just two years has become one of the largest databases of user-posted recipes. On the site users can post their own "family tested and approved" recipes and try recipes submitted by others, use a menu planner and grocery list, create custom cookbooks, print hundreds of grocery coupons, enter recipe contests, and join discussion groups.
She was recently awarded a blue ribbon for her ethnic-flavored sandwich recipe.
"I like to make healthy food for my husband every day," Walsh said.
She started out creating an avocado lentil salad.
"I wanted to make something different with avocados," Walsh said. "So I added some mayonnaise and then some curry. My husband is not a fan of Indian food but curry is good for him."

The Denver Broncos found themselves a bit shorthanded on Sunday in 41-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Running back Willis McGahee had to leave the game at one point with a leg injury. While he did return to the field, the injury seemed to limit him to a certain extent.
McGahee rushed five times for 59 yards early into the second quarter before giving way to Lance Ball. McGahee returned to action on the Broncos first drive of the third quarter and had a pair of rushes for 11 yards to start the drive. He then disappeared again until the next drive. He rushed for nine more yards and that was the end of his day.
Part of the limited performance might have been the Patriots eventual sizable lead. However, given that the Broncos were getting back into the game a bit and McGahee was performing effectively when running, something had to be up. John Fox will chat with the media on Monday and might shed some light on the injury.

Never one to shy from incongruence, both Bobolinks, one of my favorite birds, and the concept of American Exceptionalism have been flying parallel tracks in my mind the past several days. Actually, thinking about, even dreaming about, Bobolinks is far more pleasurable than wrestling with a jingoistic self-characterization that is both silly and morally indefensible.
One of my attractions to birds is that they go about their business and I go about mine. As long as we do not interfere with one another we maintain what is most probably a far more meaningful relationship to me than to them. We lock eyes from time to time and never have conversations of any sort. That suits me just fine.
I think often of philosopher/ mathematician Bertrand Russell's observation that there are few experiences more tedious than the conversation of well-informed people. No bird has bent my ears about how special or exceptional he might be. That is an ethical code of conduct I can live with. I have a healthy respect for ambition, hard work, and its concomitant success.
Achievement of worthy, morally defensible goals is always deserving of respect and, often, emulation. There are examples of exceptional thought, behavior, and accomplishment the world over.
No one country or group or individual can rightfully claim sole ownership of the infinite variety of humankind's dazzling capacities for inventiveness.
Such hubris augurs ill for those saturated by its seductive prowess. Literature and history abound with stories of the tragic consequences of hubris. Avian ethics often serve us exceptionally well as behavioral role models.
Bobolinks appeal to me on many levels. They are beautiful birds that travel more than twelve thousand miles every year to escape our cold northern winter. I have always been envious of their winter vacation spots: Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. All places I want to visit one of these days. They do it on the cheap, not having to pack, pay airfare, or deal with passports and visas. When the mood strikes them they flock up, set their navigational vectors, and head out. Migratory birds understood the virtues of globalism long before we ever did. One hopes that the most aggressively invasive species on earth, humankind, doesn't screw up the planet so badly that one day we might wake up to birdless skies. The "We are exceptional" attitude comes with what a literary critic some years ago characterized as a blindness that derails insight. Birds primp and preen so as to fly more efficiently, keep themselves insect and disease free, and to facilitate courtship and mating. Humans utilize similar display techniques, but all too often go well beyond the requirements of procreation. I have never known a Bobolink or Scarlet Tanager or any other species to trumpet its ideological bents in the same fashions as we do. Birds go about being exactly what they are: birds. They do not display bumper stickers announcing their kids' accomplishments or political convictions, nor do they find it necessary to proclaim sole ownership of political or social convictions of value. While there is a survival imperative among birds and animals, it is always tied to species survival and ecological sustainability. It never has anything at all to do with being, as is often the case with us, number one. Each bird species is happy simply getting by and being itself.
At any rate, I look forward to my walks these days, especially when I can lean against a fence post and watch those gorgeously attired black, yellow, and white birds fly crisscross wind tossed hay fields, every once in a while alighting atop a stalk of grass taking stock of things. Early territorial and courtship imperatives drain down lots of energy. I dream of long, hot summer days years ago forking hay up into a wagon pulled by two golden brown draft horses. Of lying in the grass, exhausted, chewing on a stem of freshly plucked Timothy, sweat trickling down my body, a short snooze just moments away.
I did not know Bobolinks in those days, but I did know the wonder of pure being, of feeling whole and complete and completely at peace with existence. I felt no competitive urges or edges at all. I still do the best I can at whatever it is that I do. As is
the case with birds, I see no reason at all to advertise it. Among the necessary ingredients of a long overdue cultural paradigm shift in this country is rediscovering the just rewards of humility.

http://youtu.be/moSFlvxnbgk My son waswatching Frozen. I could hear this song and immediately it caught my attention. I've been a bit sheltered with music over the last few years. I must learn this song. As soon as I get a few hours free I'll sit at the piano an learn this. It's quite an empowering song.

Listening to a '70s rockand roll song. It's an escape and at the same time a deep connection. It's like you're alone with the band and you're sharing a story, but the story is all yours... The song becomes you, the music becomes you. It's your life, your worries, your joys, your passions, all you know...

Love is a terrible art,it's a hook in the heart That can drag you on broken glass And as you protest the shards in your flesh The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess Broken mess by the classic crime

Music.I always put on my music when I feel down, then I start singing, (sound like a cat being strangled), and my mood changes, and cheer's me up, not sure if the neighbour's think I'm in pain. Haha!

- " Friendly staff, good facilities (breakfast room/cafe Lindsay's/computers/wi-fi) and vibrant location. The rooms are directly facing the streets on floor level so you can hear the trams passing by at night. "
- 16 Jul 2014 Simon Netherlands
- " We paid to stay for two nights, but when we got home on the second day, two out of the three beds from the night before were "reclaimed" by new arrivals. So, two of us had to move to a new room that smelt really bad. It was frustrating that we lost the room. Make sure you leave some clothes or something on the bed so they know not to give away your beds. "

- " The hostel was ok. Rooms on the level of street can be open during the day/night from outside. In our room a really weird old guy was staying... all three nights he was sleeping in jeans (not that he was drunk) and later on we found that it is probably a friend of staff. Food in restaurant was really nice and I appreciate clealiness in bathrooms and kitchen. "

- " We had booked a room for 2, and they gave us a big one with 5 beds, all for us! They have two computers you can use for free + free wifi which is also pretty fast. The reception is in a cosy bar, they make breakfast, lunch and dinner for reasonable prices. The only negative side I can think of is that sometimes you have to wait a bit to find someone at the reception. All in all (prices included) I definitely recommend Schlafmeile :) "

- " A great hostel set in a safe, friendly, and culturally significant area of Berlin - this place became a home away from home! Staff are very friendly and helpful, dorms are tidy and secure, access is easy and 24hr, good kitchen facilities, and hostel is laid out well to provide both a place to relax as well as meet other travellers. This was a great hostel to start a holiday from, highly recommended "

FGCU Swimming and Diving Collects Post Season Hardware
FORT MYERS, Fla. - After another record breaking season for the FGCU Swimming and Diving team, the final Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) report has been posted and many Eagles were honored with awards.
The Eagles collected three swimmer of the week awards and two diver of the week awards throughout the season and continued their success as thirteen Eagles were named to the CCSA All-Conference team including eight for multiple events and sixteen Eagles were named to the CCSA All-Academic team for their achievements in the classroom as well as in the pool.
Freshman Vicky Cadge and Rosy Murray led the Eagles garnering All-Conference honors for three events each. Cadge not only was named to the 200 IM (2:02.69), 100 Breaststroke (1:03.60) and the 200 Breaststroke (2:18.96) teams but set the top times for all three events throughout the entire CCSA conference which was why she won both Swimmer of the Year and Freshman of the Year for the CCSA 2008-09 Season. Another Eagle freshman, Rosy Murray, swam the fastest time in the CCSA in the 400 IM (4:18.73) and finished with three CCSA All-Conference honors of her own (400IM, 500 Freestyle and 1650 Freestyle).
Freshman Leah Daniel swam faster than any other CCSA opponent throughout 2008-09 in both the 500 Freestyle (4:48.78) and 1650 Freestyle (16:36.14) as she finished the year with CCSA All-conference honors in both events. Daniel also picked up a silver medal in the 200 freestyle at conference champs with a time of 1:48.73.
Four Eagle swimmers finished the year with two CCSA All-conference honors including Rachael Rein (200 IM and 200 Backstroke), Margie Chamberlin (100 and 200 Butterfly), Catrina Silveira (100 and 200 Breaststroke), and Viktoria Hyddmark (100 and 200 Backstroke).
Other Eagles that placed on CCSA All-conference team were Margarete Ulvestad (200 IM), captain Courtney Gallo (1650 Freestyle), Alessandra Cianci (200 Butterfly), Karmin McNamara (1 meter and 3 meter diving boards), Gabby Shaw (1 meter diving board), and Stephanie Young (3 meter diving board).
Not only did FGCU excel in the pool throughout the year, but sixteen of the Eagle swimmers and divers posted a 3.3 GPA or better over the course of the year.

I applied through an employee referral and the process took a day - interviewed at Marshalls in August 2009.
Interview Details I applied for a position at Marshalls, and on the application, I put "any". I was interviewed by the store manager. He asked questions like, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "What can you bring to this company?" "Why are you interested in this company?" There was one interview and I got the job on the spot. I went into details mostly about school and I ended up keeping this job for a year.

I applied in-person and the process took 3 days - interviewed at Marshalls in September 2010.
Interview Details Looking to re-enter the job market after raising my children, I applied to work at a favorite local retail store, Marshalls. I was quickly called in for an interview, and offered a minimum wage, part-time job. I was told there are never any full-time positions available, no benefits, and no opportunity for growth. I turned down the job. I'm very disappointed in my (former) favorite store's business strategy toward employees.
Interview Question – Are you willing to accept a minimum-wage, part-time job? View Answer
Reason for Declining – Minimum wage with no opportunity or encouragement for growth? It's shameful that an American business would have this attitude toward employees.

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Marshalls in September 2009.
Interview Details After applying online and waiting a week, I called and checked on the status of the application. After doing so again every few days they finally called me in for a one to one interview. Not until I was hired did I realize why they took so long. The managers are either incompetent or hired incompetent employees so they had to pick up all their slack. This left little time to conduct human resources operations. The interview was pretty standard retail questions on problem solving and customer relations. I received a phone call a few days later.
