He was 49 and on his way to political greatness. She was 22 and picketing City Hall mostly for the fun of it.
It took hot pants to bring them together.
Paired with white go-go boots and Jeanne Bell's lithe young physique, the red short-shorts caught the eye of William Donald Schaefer as he strode past protesters outside City Hall. He looked her up and down, said he'd like her on his mayoral campaign, gave her his phone number with instructions to call, and walked off.
"Who was he?" Bell wondered.
Forty years later, it would be hard to find a Marylander who hasn't heard of Schaefer, then Baltimore City Council president, who went on to become a towering political figure as mayor, governor and state comptroller. But Bell? She has remained largely unknown, even as that chance meeting in the spring of 1971 produced a decades-long relationship with one of Maryland's most famous sons.
The bachelor politician said to have been "married to the city of Baltimore" had a richer, fuller personal life than his public image suggested.
The public knew about Hilda Mae Snoops, Schaefer's longtime companion who shared the governor's mansion with him. When she died in 1999, it was assumed that the closest thing he'd had to married life was gone, too. He was often described as a lonely man with no family but for a couple of cousins.
In fact, Schaefer had a long, intimate relationship with Bell, one that simmered for decades as a flirtatious friendship, bloomed into a romance after Snoops died and finally settled into quiet couplehood. Love notes, voicemail and photographs she's held onto over the years attest to that.
Schaefer also had a comfortable family life with Bell's relatives, sharing every major holiday with her mother, brother, nephew and others inside her Formstone rowhouse. Home movies show Schaefer leading the carols at Christmas, claiming the gizzards at Thanksgiving and, after the feast, snoozing in the Barcalounger.
"I didn't know how big a man he was," said Bell's nephew, Eric Miles.
Miles, 24, knew Schaefer not so much as the great builder and rebuilder of an aquarium and stadiums and neighborhoods, but as the funny curmudgeon who went with his aunt. Schaefer attended Miles' 16th birthday party, saw him off for his prom and gave him piles of old ties when he was starting high school at St. Jo's.
"Some of them had stains on them," said Miles, who wears the ties now to his job as a legal assistant. "He wore what he'd eat."
Miles didn't address Schaefer as governor or comptroller or, even his favorite title, mayor. He called him Uncle Donald.
Because Bell chose not to attend most political functions, she wasn't as well known as Snoops. Even some of Schaefer's closest aides were in the dark about her for years.
Mike Golden, who was Schaefer's spokesman when he was comptroller, first met Bell by chance when Schaefer was hospitalized in 2001.
"He had a scare when he thought he was having a heart attack, and they took him to University of Maryland Hospital," Golden said. "So I go to the hospital and in the waiting room is the cast of the usual suspects, [former chief of staff] Mark Wasserman, [former State Police Superintendent] Larry Tolliver. I saw this woman sitting there and I didn't recognize who she was. And I asked Larry, 'Who's that lady?' He got all antsy and secretive, and ushered me into the hallway, and swore me to secrecy and said, 'That's the governor's girlfriend.'"
Bell said her relationship with Schaefer was never meant to be a secret, just apart from his life in politics.
"Donald and I liked the quiet life," said Bell, 63. "We had a normal life. … We liked real people, not political people. You always had to put on with the political people."

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Amsterdam > Amsterdam Sights >
By Audrey Sykes in Amsterdam—
If you want to know the true meaning of "flower power," head to the Netherlands for tulip season. Over 900 million Dutch flowers are destined for the United States each year, and Holland is easily the world's largest exporter of tulips.
And although "Tulipmania" (yes, that's a real term) ended in the 1600s, the craze of experiencing fields of flowers is still an attraction for thousands of travelers to Holland, especially during tulip season, which spans from March to May. And if you're one of the many dreaming of walking through an endless garden of flowers, the Keukenhof is your destiny.
Getting there: Keukenhof
Keukenhof is located just outside of Amsterdam, a short trip to a town called Lisse where nothing much goes on except for the yearly flock of flower lovers that happens every season. This means it's not easy to get to unless you have a car, but it's not impossible.
Your best bet is to get to the Amsterdam Schipol Airport via train and take bus No. 58 to Keukenhof. It runs Monday through Friday every 15 minutes, the last bus back to the airport leaving around 7:30 p.m. Local buses leave from the airport just outside the main entrance. The ride lasts a little over half and hour, and the bus drops you off right at the park's entrance. A round trip ticket from Amsterdam to Keukenhof shouldn't cost more than around €10.
Getting in and around
Keukenhof is a national landmark in Holland. Kodak deemed it one of the most photographed places in the world. Everyone knows about this place, and since it's only open a few months out of the year it gets packed. Real packed. It might be tricky to get to on your own, but don't forget about all the package tours that scoot to this picture perfect spot on an hourly basis.
Just get there early and make a day out of it. There are over 6 million flowers to see, but if you do it on time you'll save yourself a lot of pushing and shoving. Keukenhof is open daily from 8 a.m to 7:30 p.m. daily, including Sundays and public holidays. If you make an effort and sight see early, you'll be able to relax at the café or chill out on a bench and people watch the afternoon away.
What not to miss
It's hard to pin point particular flowers as a "must see" when there are millions of them, so the best tip is to walk the 15 kilometers of footpaths and never blink, ever.
Just kidding. The best part about Keukenhof is that you don't have to see everything. Grab a map and start by sections. The "Walk of Fame" is a popular one, and every year there are new tulip species with different celebrity names – from Hillary Clinton to Madonna. There is also a guide available, in different languages for €4.
If you're in the mood to bike around the outskirts amongst the tulip farm fields, Keukenhof offer bicycle rentals and routes ranging from five-kilometer cruises to 25-kilometer day adventures. It's €8.50 per day to rent a bike from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. – not a bad deal, and cheaper than some bike rental spots in Amsterdam.
There are also boat trips available through the countryside, and even photography courses are an option. In addition, check the Web site to find out about upcoming events and plan either on or around those dates. Either way, Keukenhof is a must for springtime visitors to Holland.
Keukenhof Fees
Adults and seniors: €14.50
Children 4 to 11 years: €7
Parking: €6 per vehicle
Also in our guide: If you're planning a trip to Amsterdam and looking for an affordable place to stay, be sure to stop by our guide to budget hotels in Amsterdam. Our editors visit, inspect and review only hotels that are central, clean and cheap. Read more in our Amsterdam hotel guide.
Our first trip to Europe took place in the 1980′s when we took our sons to visit their aunt and uncle and cousins who were living in Antwerp at the time. It was our good fortune to visit Keukenhof on the Saturday of Easter weekend, and it was an unforgettable treat to be there, especially at that time. The children enjoyed hopping across the water using the circular concrete "stones," provided for just that very purpose! Delightful spot, and great for photographers!
Hi there, My wife, Jean, and I spent a couple of days at Keukenhof Gardens, near Lisse. We always knew that The Netherlands (Holland) was famous for its tulips. As gardeners, seeing the gardens at Keukenhof, just simply took our breath away! It was amazing. Without a doubt, Keukenhof Gardens is the world's biggest outdoor gardens. For those who might like to see some pictures from our trip, they are at: http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-tulips-keukenhof-gardens-holland
While in Holland, Jean and I also spent a day at the village of Zaanse Schans where we got to see their large collection of windmills. For us, a trip to Holland just wouldn't have been complete without seeing windmills in action. If anyone would like to check out the variety of windmills that we saw, they are at: http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-windmills-holland

Robert Griffin III started off well enough earning a first down with a strong last second effort, diving over the first down marker. But he was also rocked by Colts linebacker Jerrell Freeman as he released the ball on a first quarter pass attempt
This is one violent-looking hit:
Take a closer look and you see that RGIII is not expecting the hit which means he didn't have time to brace himself for a 6'0, 234-pound man to come crashing into him.
Redskins fans collectively let out a sigh of relief when RGIII got up after that play. At least Redskins fans know he can take a hit.

Reviewed Jan. 10, 2012
I rated this recipe as written, which wasn't great! If I make again, I'd add more BBQ sauce and keep an eye on the pretzels as they can easily get a charred taste (stir often). With those simple changes, this would be a good mix.
Reviewed Mar. 4, 2010
I added more barbecue sauce to suit my personal preference and the snack mix tasted very good. I would make it again, and adjust it as needed.
Reviewed Feb. 11, 2010
This has no bbq flavor at all. I will never make it again. We are using this for bird food.

Police were searching for the driver in a deadly hit-and-run accident Sunday morning that killed a 50-year-old Israeli man on the 505 highway in the West Bank.
The victim, who worked as the security officer at the West Bank settlement of Sha'arei Tikva was reportedly recording a Palestinian vehicle trying to sneak illegal workers across the Green line when the vehicle transporting them ran him down and fled the scene.
Paramedics evacuated the man from the scene, but he succumbed to his wounds on the way to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
Police have launched a manhunt for the driver of the vehicle, which was reportedly stolen. They have added that they do not believe that the incident was a terror attack but that the investigation is examining all possibilities.

Loved it! My husband and picky eater kids loved it as well! I used ground turkey and instead of marinara I used canned tomato sauce with italian seasoning, garlic pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and baked in a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Will definitely add it to my rotation!
Very good recipe. Big hit with my husband!!
Super easy and my kids and hubby loved it. I even used whole wheat flour and it was great!
My family and I love this recipe. The only thing I do different is use half ground beef and half sausage. Quick tip: I make the sauce ahead of time and place in frig - then when I get home from work I make the dough (topping) and I'm good to go. I have made it in a 2 quart dish and in ramekins. Personally, I prefer the recipe in the ramekins. With a salad, this makes a nice meal.
Very simple, with ingredients I always have on hand, something my kids enjoyed also. I even added some more veggies - mushrooms - and it was wonderful.

The incredible stories of the human tragedy continue to pour out of Japan. The marathon recovery and then rebuilding will be a huge undertaking and will involve resources from across the world. You also have to take notice of what is not going on in Japan. The military is largely focused on recovery and there is very little need for them to focus on crowd control. There is no looting and in many of the videos you see people helping other people. In essence, the Japanese culture compels communities and even cities to act as one body. In the middle of the devastation there are people helping people, being resourceful and, for the most part, taking care of themselves. They are not screaming for some government action to provide, they are providing for themselves. I believe that spirit used to exist in America but we now have little to do with some family members let alone others in our community. It may be the cynic in me but when you contrast the way some people acted during Katrina with the actions of the Japanese, there is no comparison. Now recently, the people of Nashville experienced their own hundred year flood and while this was a huge disaster, the recovery has been orderly and community minded, but the Japanese – as a country - really seem to get it. Perhaps we can all learn a small lesson in being our own best resource and then reaching out to others in need and that will make for a Better East Texas.

As it turned out, most of our fears were unfounded. Our mini suite was identical to the one we had on the Star and apparently smoke free. The furnishings were older but not worn or soiled. There were some broken tiles in the bathroom, but that was the worst of it. Our cabin steward Manuel was wonderful and could not do enough for us. It was the same in the dining room. Our waitress Aliena and her helper Manuel (another one) were first rate and even gave us extra desserts each evening.
The food was very good--perhaps too good as we gained weight despite having only breakfast and dinner. We chose to eat at 8:30 and this worked out very well as we had plenty of time after exploring the ports of call to get ready, etc.
Entertainment was very nice---three production shows that were well done. A couple of the solo acts were just OK, but that kind of thing is a matter of taste.
It was a decidedly older crowd than we encountered on our Alaskan cruise. Since we sailed round-trip form Southampton, it was an easy trip for folks from UK--and there were many. There were about 100 Americans on board and the rest were from the UK.
Embarkation and disembarkation were a breeze. Since we were flying from the US I booked a flight that arrived in London at 6:30 a.m. and this meant we arrived at the terminal shortly after 8:00 a.m. A long wait until boarding began at approximately 11:00. We anticipated this but did not anticipate that the terminal facilities would not have restrooms or a coffee vending machine. Next time we will arrive closer to departure. Getting off the ship was amazingly easy. Porters were available and our luggage was right where it was supposed to be and the coach to Heathrow was comfortable and on time.
Negatives were few. The elevators were slow and often hard to get. This was not true on the Star so I do not know why. Another difference we noticed--both ships were booked to capacity, but in Alaska it never seemed crowded. On the Grand there were always people around and it was hard to find a table in the Horizon Court for breakfast. I think they could do a better job of crowd control on the Grand. Also, we agree with the earlier complaints about people hogging the lounges all day long by leaving towels on them. Not much in the way of enforcement there either. I heard lots of complaints about the "kids" taking over the pools. There weren't that many on board so I can only imagine how bad it was this summer. Princess would do well to consider having a couple of hours a day for adult only swimming and hot tub use.
The Grand is going in dry dock in April and I think it will be more like the Star after that. I did miss the coffee bar this time around.
All in all, it was a great trip.

When you first heard about the allegations made against former Penn St. Nittany Lions defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, you probably wanted somebody, anybody to do something about them. The whole problem is that nobody did anything about Sandusky's alleged crimes for a long time, and now Happy Valley has been torn apart trying to figure out who exactly has to do something.
The federal government is inserting itself, the Board of Trustees did what Joe Paterno wasn't willing to do, and Sandusky, along with AD Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz, is going to court.
But since this involves sports, many people have called for the NCAA to do something, too. As Boston College sports law professor Warren Zola tells the New York Daily News, the NCAA doesn't really have jurisdiction here:
No student-athletes are involved, for now, and nothing benefitted the teams of the institution for a competitive advantage. You and I may have a different interpretation on lack of institutional control, but under the NCAA's, I don't see it. The only thing I could see, if convicted, would be placing a ban on individual coaches.
Penn State, the school, is being investigated by the Department of Education. Everyone who failed to take the allegation against Sandusky to an authority (if you accept that Curley wasn't really Paterno's authority) has been fired or arrested. The current players, future players, and remaining coaches didn't do anything wrong, and thus shouldn't be punished.
What would be the punishment, anyway? A postseason ban and loss of scholarships? For how long? If Boise State lost scholarships for years over some cheeseburgers, what's the multiplier the NCAA should use to figure out what covering up 40 counts of child sex abuse is worth?
We could say the NCAA should shut down Penn State football, but that's not really how the NCAA works. The NCAA can dictate how Penn State makes money off of football and which teams it plays, but it has no control over what Penn State chooses to do with Beaver Stadium.

Manny on the Mend: Manny Banuelos looks to recover from Tommy John surgery and regain his prospect status in the Yankee organization. His success means a lot to the organization, one which has not been able to produce high-end starting pitchers for a long time. The hope was for him to replace one of the leaving free agents, Andy Pettitte, Hiroki Kuroda, Phil Hughes, however without being able to progress in his development his use to the organization is a question mark for right now.
Corner Outfielders: Andrew Marchand of ESPN alleviates the concern of having two slap hitters, Ichiro Suzuki and Brett Gardner, in the starting outfield. Their defense is obviously an upgrade over Nick Swisher and Raul Ibanez, even if Ichiro is nearing 40 years old. Gardner's .355 and Ichiro's .365 career On Base Percentage is an upgrade over Swisher's .361 and Ibanez's .308 (last season). Ichiro led the team with 14 stolen bases in 2012 and Gardner led the league in 2011 with 49, so a lot of speed has been added to the team. Ichiro and Gardner have also scored more runs than last year's corner outfielders, so run scoring won't be a problem.
Catching Prospects: YES spotlights Yankee catching prospect Gary Sanchez and JR Murphy. While nothing new is said about them, it is nice to see footage of them behind the plate and hear about their work ethic. First baseman prospect Greg Bird even shows up to talk about Sanchez, but no one asks how Greg Bird is doing. If you strongly dislike Nancy Newman this is probably not the video for you.
PED Scandal: Here is something interesting. Lady Love's Pinstripes looks at the PED evidence against Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, and others and determines that the Miami New Times might not be as credible as you would think. It might not be impossible to imagine that MNT put together this story in order to save their dying brand. A lot of the evidence points to the story being, if not a complete fabrication, than at least a massively unreliable heap of claims. Read through the evidence and decide for yourself. Is there something fishy going on?
Roster Predictions: LoHud makes a prediction for the opening day roster. Some of the predictions are bold as Brett Gardner will be the center fielder and Austin Romine will be the starting catcher. The bench will consist of Chris Stewart (Poor Cervelli), Eduardo Nunez (SS/DH), Matt Diaz, and Jayson Nix. The last rotation spot will go to Ivan Nova, while David Phelps will be in the bullpen. What are your predictions?
Important Dates: LoHud has a list of important dates to remember this spring. Pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday, position players on the 17th. February 23rd is the first spring training game, The Yankees play the Nationals in an exhibition game on March 29th. Opening Day is April 1st. Baseball is here.

Here we go again.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday are going to consider a plan that could lead to an expedited approval of the amended Liberty Quarry project.
Reporter Jeff Horseman (formerly your Temecula guy) has the story here.
And what I have for you today is the entirety of Temecula's opposition to the project, from which Jeff quoted sparingly.
City of Temecula Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 21, 2012 Media Contact:
Bob Johnson, City Manager
RE: City of Temecula's Opposition to Riverside County's Proposal to Fast Track Surface Mining Operations
The City of Temecula is adamantly opposed to Riverside County's proposed Ordinance changes to allow surface mining applications to be fast-tracked which circumvents the Planning Commission in the County's land use approval process. Local governments sometimes use the fast-track process as an economic development tool that can reduce steps in the planning process for a project. The key to understanding the City's opposition to fast track Liberty Quarry is to drill down on the issue of why approving major land use decisions should require, at the very least, a standard level of review.
In 1970, California enacted the California Environmental Quality Act commonly known as CEQA. This Act was created as a system of checks and balances for land-use development decisions in California. For those of us who can remember back to the decade of the 1970's and before CEQA, there were significant problems in California relating to air quality (the Inland Empire in particular was the smog capital of California), water quality, wildlife, health and environmental impacts. These concerns lead directly to the passage of CEQA. This Act requires that all impacts associated with a project be adequately disclosed to ensure that decisions made today do not negatively harm the environment tomorrow.
The practical application of CEQA is that proposed projects are studied and vetted in the public arena. The City of Temecula strongly believes that the best community decisions are those that are thoroughly studied and debated. The proposed change in law by Riverside County has the intended consequence of limiting public review and taking us back in time before public input on projects was required. How can this proposal even be taken seriously in a time when government transparency and confidence in the decision making of elected officials is so important?
The proposed Liberty Quarry project can't be viewed in the same manner as building a building on a piece of property. This project will forever destroy a mountain, alter the natural environment including air quality to the detriment of our region, irreversibly impact the watershed and obliterate the Luiseño Indian Creation Area among many other impacts. This is why there were nearly 9 days of public and expert testimony; most of which occurred at the Planning Commission who voted overwhelmingly to deny the project. Now, the County Board of Supervisors wants to eliminate the Planning Commission from the process altogether.
The County Planning Commissioners have familiarity and expertise with development issues and the importance of their role should not be overlooked. Liberty Quarry has serious implications for the region and affects current and future generations. How could a project of such magnitude not be given the standard review by their appointed Planning Commission?
The justification the County puts forth to eliminate the Planning Commission from critical CEQA review is that Granite Construction, the company that wants to dig Liberty Quarry, claims it will create new jobs. Not so. Granite Construction's economist acknowledged that new quarries do not create new demand for construction material—Liberty Quarry would instead shift material sales (and their respective jobs) away from existing quarries in the County. Even worse, the Liberty Quarry owner/operator, Granite Construction, is a contractor and will not pay sales tax on their material so Liberty Quarry takes tax revenues away from the County.
To try to offset the County's loss, Liberty Quarry has announced a 20-cents-per-ton fee at the gate (that calculates to be a maximum of $800,000 a year) paid by the consumer to the Riverside County administration with no assurance it will be redirected towards the impacted areas of the Temecula Valley. It doesn't put even a dent in the $3.6 billion loss to our region if this massive mine is approved. Moreover, it's incomprehensible that Riverside County Board of Supervisors would impose substantial economic and environmental injustice upon Riverside County residents in order to supply San Diego County with their aggregate.
Me again.
Jeff, who now covers the county, is going to follow this issue as it proceeds through the administrative and the legal process, including coverage of a hearing date on Oct. 18 for two lawsuits filed over the project. But since this is so important to so many Temecula residents I'll cherry-pick from Jeff's coverage and write about what's happening on this blog. Please to stay tuned.

Deputies found and arrested nine suspects after deputies say they admitted to being in the country illegally. The suspects told deputies they were on their way to California, Ohio, Indiana, Washington and Pennsylvania. Deputies say they admitted to paying between $2,000 and $4,500 to be smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. Eight illegal aliens were booked into jail on state felony charges, instead of being turned over to Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). The 16-year-old boy and his uncle were turned over to ICE. Sheriff Joe Arpaio says in recent incidents, eight minors have been turned over to ICE officials after being part of a human smuggling operation.

Kasteel Karlstejn
The World > Europe > Czech Republic
High Gothic castle founded in 1348, which has a unique position among Czech castles. It was built by Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place for safekeeping of the royal treasures, especially Charles's collection of holy relics and the coronation jewels of the Roman Empire.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

As displayed so nicely above in the subject line, this is about dancing. Upon the commencement of reading this blog post, you will click on the Contact page, find my email address, and send me an email expressing your gratitude. Or, you'll X out this screen, and send me an email with the subject line "Idiocy and Blogging: An Essay."
This is for people at both ends of the dancing spectrum: the napkin folder sitting at the table mentally judging the wedding favors and the exuberant pelvic thruster who kicks her shoes off at the first note of "Dancing Queen."
Two stories:
The first. I was recently at a local school fundraiser. It was held at a hall with dinner, dancing, and a live band – it was a great time. People were a little shy about getting out onto the dance floor. For the first forty-five minutes or so, it was virtually empty – except for one woman. She moved in circles up and down the dance floor. She bobbed her head. She thrusted her pelvis. She sang – loudly. She did that sexy undulating hip movement all the way down to the floor – and then fell over. She pulled a chair out onto the dance floor and made suggestive movements. She pulled a random guy out onto the dance floor and made suggestive movements. Obviously, this has turned into an after-school special on why the excessive consumption of alcohol ruins lives and causes eyeballs to spontaneously combust.
Turns out, this woman is a sixth grade English teacher. The principal was there. Her coworkers were there. Parents of her students were there. I have no idea what the Monday after was like for her, but I imagine curious looks were involved.
Second story: You've lived it, probably. You're at a wedding. People are awkwardly bopping to an 80s song. You know you should celebrate with the happy couple and dance a little, but you're feeling self conscious and can only manage a toe tap and a chair groove at the moment. Maybe you'll get up there at the next song. Or the next song. Or the next song. But then you kind of resign yourself to the fact that it's just not happening and you silently beg the caterers to bring out the friggin wedding cake already.
Gentle reader, it doesn't have to be this way. To the exuberant, embarrassing over-dancer, feel free to do whatever you please. Everyone loves a fun wedding guest, and I personally raise my sparkling punch glass to you. But, if you find yourself in a delicate social situation (say, your boss or local clergy have arrived), you may want to read the following. It's dance-lite for the timid. It's basically… Getting By on the Dance Floor with the Least Possible Effort.
Start by counting. Note: I tried discussing this with my musician husband, and he was like… Oh, count like this. 1, 2, 3, 4 – 2, 2, 3, 4 – 3, 2, 3, 4. And I was like… WAT. No. Can't we just count to 8? And he's like, why 8? And I was like, the measures. And he was like, you don't actually know what you're talking about, do you? And I was like, right, buuuut…
Whatever… time signature, measures, blah blah. :)
When you listen to a song, mentally count to eight. There are generally four beats in a measure, so this would be two measures. Here, a Justin Bieber song:
I was like ba-by, ba-by, ohhhhh.
……………1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Like ba-by, ba-by, ba-by, noooooo.
……..1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
And some Proud Mary for you:
Left a good job in the city
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
working for the man every night and day
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Slide your feet from side to side in time with the beat.
1 (step left) 2 (bring right foot to left) 3 (step right) 4 (bring left foot to right). Repeat through 8. Start over again at 1.
Look at you! You're dancing. Keep it at that level (i.e., no squats or thrusts) and call it good. It's almost fool-proof. And you can't really go wrong with your upper torso, unless you're being obnoxious on purpose, but if you're feeling extremely self conscious, bring your drink on to the dance floor with you, so you only have to figure out what to do with one arm.
Oh, and smile a lot. It's fun, right? :D
Dang. DANG. I just found myself in the middle of that awkward group-circle where people take turns dancing in the middle.
Ugh. I hate that. Try to stay two-people-deep on the perimeter of that circle to avoid getting sucked in. That thing is like a black hole. But, if you end up in the circle, do something quick and fun – utilize the sprinkler, the shopping cart, or my personal favorite, the shovel – then get the heck out of there. Three seconds, then go. It's always strange when people dance in the middle for a full two minutes. The group of on-lookers never knows what to do.
My feet hurt. Can I take my shoes off?
Nah, dude.
I hate to dance, but I don't want people at my office to think I'm a shmoe or a stick-in-the-mud.
Talk to people a lot, and then get on the dance floor for the big group dances. Everyone will be out on the dance floor, and if you're not with them, you'll stick out like a non-dancing sore thumb at Table #7. Head out for the cha-cha slide, the electric slide, the YMCA, but not the macarena. Are you kidding me? Were you considering it? NEVER the macarena. And head out to the dance floor for the slow songs. Slow dances are virtually impervious to destruction and embarrassment.
I like doing that thing where I put my left hand behind my head, and I grab my ankle with my right hand and jerk back and forth ridiculously. Can I do that?
I mean, I guess. If you're a frat boy. And it's a frat party. And you have no shame. No, it's cool. I mean, it's not COOL, buuut.. it's cool. If you like it.
I love this. I'm a new person, and I want to dance unabashedly and unashamedly.
Yeahhhh! Ooo-ooh, ooo-oot! Just kidding. It's not the early nineties, and that was a little strange then, anyway.

Prices reduced from last Championship campaign
Wolves have announced match ticket prices for the upcoming 2014/2015 season, which are lower than the club's last Sky Bet Championship campaign.
Adult Championship prices are lower by £1 across all stands than the 2012/13 season whilst concession prices have been frozen. The Club has also reminded fans of the removal of the booking fee for print@home tickets and My Wolves members (who book online), which has so far seen thousands of fans make considerable savings whilst making their visit to Molineux even more convenient and hassle free.
An adult ticket behind the goals is £23 (£22 for members in the Stan Cullis stand) and u12s in the Family Area can enjoy a Championship fixture for just £5. Click HERE for all the match to match ticket prices.
However, the cheapest way to watch football at Molineux will always be as a season ticket holder with adult prices now starting at £370 behind the goals, which equates to just £16 per league fixture.
So far, 12,800 supporters have signed up to watch every game next season, with Wolves aiming to sign up 14,500 season ticket holders. Click HERE for more details.
Lynne O'Reardon, Head of Ticketing & Membership, Wolves, said: "We hope these reduced ticket prices will encourage even more fans through Molineux's turnstiles after last season's impressive attendances.
"In addition we will be running some great ticketing promotions throughout the season, but, as always, the cheapest way to enjoy football at Molineux will always be as a season ticket holder.
"We've sold over 12,800 season tickets so far and the target is to reach 14,500 by the start of the new campaign. Fans should contact the Ticket Office for more details."

We were a group of eleven including two five year olds and an eight year old.
At first sight I thought how lovely the ship was but it wasn't how it looked but how it was run that I wasn't keen on.
First of all there were multi embarkation ports and consequently disembarkation points.I had a studio cabin and on disembark days as of seven a.m. Those announcements were being made over the LOUDspeakers. Grrrrrr!
Shows....no big production Show at all and on top you had to book for them ahead of time.
The menus in the 'free' dining rooms were very much the same and very little changed n a nightly basis.
No chocolate displays, no ice carving.
Possibly one of the worst designs are the separate loo, shower and basin.even me in my room was concerned hat there would be a knock at the door when I has just come out of the shower to get dry!
I did like the ...chose when you leave aspect!
Would I go on her again? Doubt it!

WINONA, Minn. (AP) - For the next 10 years, Robert Tofstad of Winona will spend the weekend nearest to February 19 in the Winona County Jail, a reminder of the last day of Ruth Brendel's life. He's the driver who struck and killed the elderly woman on her way to church.
Tofstad was behind the wheel just before 8 a.m. February 19, 2012, when the 85-year-old woman stepped out onto the street from between two parked cars on her way to St. Martin's Lutheran Church for Sunday service.
The Winiona Daily News reports Tofstad was staring into the early morning sun and never saw the woman. The force of the impact sent Brendel airborne, knocking her out of her shoes. She died later that day at St. Marys Hospital in Rochester.
Police said if Tofstad had cleared his car windows of frost, he likely would have seen Brendel. Prosecutors say a breath test also showed Tofstad -- who was 19 at the time -- was legally intoxicated. He told investigators that he had been drinking the night before the accident.
The Winona Daily News says Tofstad pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide. In addition to spending the weekends in jail to commemorate the date of Brendel's death, Tofstad will initially spend 60 days in jail.

Serves 4
Dave's Fresh Pasta chef Jason Martin grew up in an Italian restaurant family (his grandfather owned the former Cafe Amalfi, near Symphony Hall). He says meals typically begin with small portions of pasta
(1 pound for 8 people). This simple dish is intended here as a main course. It's too delicious to limit yourself to just a little. Serve with grated Parmesan, if you like.

We decided to revisit Winona Lake on Friday evening. My son didn't want to leave, and I didn't want to make him because it felt like we were saying goodbye to summer. We stayed until past sunset. Only one boat a one fisherman were out there with us. It was an amazingly beautiful and peaceful moment.

When rummaging around the attic space of her family's 1860s home in Titusville, Rhonda Clark looked closely at what appeared to be a pile of old window shades, but discovered one was actually a large wall map of Warren County, Pa., dating from the year 1900. The map had some water damage and brittleness but offered a wealth of potential information, such as locations of schools and railroads at the turn of the century.
Clark, a faculty member in Clarion University Department of Library Science and an active member of the Titusville Historical Society, knew the map had great historical value to the right owner. She decided that the map belonged in Warren County, if the historical society or library did not already own it. In fact, only a few copies of this map are recorded in library catalogs in the U.S., including one at the Library of Congress that eventually will be provided digitally through their site.
"These maps provide all sorts of interesting insights into the past," Clark said. "They give us a snapshot of a region at a particular time, including the locations of landmarks and railroad lines that may no longer exist."
Clark took the map to Clarion University Department of Library Science. Her colleague, Dr. James Maccaferri, took on the map as a preservation teaching project and oversaw student work to clean and do basic repairs on it. Maccaferri said he is always looking for projects of this kind, "since students appreciate the opportunity for authentic learning that they present and because they are such excellent vehicles for promoting the university's programs to the community."
Amanda Snyder, a graduate student in the MSLS program at Clarion, spent dozens of hours painstakingly piecing bits of the map that were loose and cleaning the entire surface.
Snyder reported that working on the map provided her great practical experience in preservation and increased her interest in archives.
Once the map had been cleaned and mended, the public library in Warren was contacted. Reference librarian Penny Wolboldt was delighted at being offered the map for the library's local history collection. The Warren Public Library answers thousands of reference requests and questions a year dealing with genealogy and local history. The map promises to provide valuable information to assist in this work.
"It is especially exciting that the wall size Official Map of Warren County, Pennsylvania, was compiled and published by N.B. Brakenridge in Warren, Pennsylvania, in 1900," Wolboldt said. "The map shows county and court officers' names, elevations, turnpikes, post offices, railroad stations, schools, township boundaries, towns, roads, streams and oil and gas information, and is printed in three colors. One of the most desirable qualities of this map is the notation of the County's landowners, providing a record of who owned land, where they resided and an outline of their tract(s). These wall maps are exceptionally rare and very useful for research."
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

VIDEO OF THE DAY – No Pants
I have to say that this kind of thing would certainly make my morning commute a lot more bearable (should that be 'bare-able'…?)
The ninth (?!) annual No Pants Subway Ride took place last week and here's the documentary evidence.
Just one question - if you were going to organise what is admittedly a very entertaining piece of public interactive art (yes, that's what this is, apparently), would you organise it for January? In one of the coldest cities in the world?
Me neither.
I've heard of a 'flash mob', but this is taking it to another level.

Teaching Structural Design, Construction Practices, and Sustainable Technologies for Mitigation of Natural Disaster Damages in Coastal and Fault Areas of Developing Regions
Catholic University of America, 2005 - $42,450This project supports the development of a two-semester course sequence for seniors focusing on design and construction to mitigate the impacts of earthquakes on residential structures in developing regions. Through lectures, guest speakers, mentorship and on-site visits, students will be introduced to structural dynamics, passive seismic control, low-tech and low-cost alternative construction techniques, value engineering and socioeconomics. The course will be made up of about fifteen engineering and architecture students divided into three or four E-Teams, each assigned an industry mentor.
The E-Teams will research and design solutions, and build and test prototypes in a Structural Control and A-seismic Research (SCARE) lab. They will document their progress in a report, including a business plan for field implementation of the proposed solution, and visit a selected community in a developing region to implement their solution.
Among the educational outcomes, students will be taught the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, and environmental context, with an emphasis on design to save lives in earthquake regions.

Trussville, Alabama – New .45 caliber pistols join the Heckler & Koch product line for 2008. The HK45 is one of Heckler & Koch's newest models of semi-automatic pistols and is available in both a full-size frame and compact (HK45 Compact) version. The HK45 and HK45 Compact were developed as product improvements of the highly regarded and ultra-reliable HK USP45 and USP45 Compact family of pistols that were first introduced in the 1990s.
New user-inspired enhancements found on the HK45 and HK45 Compact are also present on several recent Heckler & Koch semi-automatic pistols, including the P30, P2000, and P2000SK. These features include changeable grip panels, improved accessory rails, better ergonomics, and more ambidextrous controls.
The HK45 and HK45 Compact were originally developed as possible candidates for the Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) and Combat Pistol (CP) programs administered by the U.S. military in their search for a new service handgun to replace the 9mm M9. These programs were suspended before completion and no pistols were selected.
Well-suited for personal defense use, the HK45 and HK45C (Compact) are available in, or can be converted to, a wide variety of variants that use different trigger firing modes, including SA/DA (single action/double action), SA (single action) Only, and DAO (double action only). The DAO mode uses the unique LEM/CDA (Law Enforcement Modification/ Combat Defense Action) firing system for improved double action trigger pull.
An improved USP-style control lever, a combination safety and decocking lever, is frame mounted on the HK45 and is quickly accessible; unlike the slide mounted safeties common on many competing pistols. The HK45 control lever has a positive stop and returns to the "fire" position after decocking.
By using the modular approach to the internal components first pioneered by HK on the USP, the control lever function of the HK45 can be switched from the left to the right side of the pistol to accommodate left handed shooters. Left and right mounted control levers provide safety and/or decocking functions as required and can be fitted to the pistol simply by changing parts. For true ambidextrous use, a control lever can also be mounted on both sides of the pistol if required.
The full-size frame model of the HK45 measures 8.03 inches (204 mm) in overall length with a 4.47 inch (113.5 mm) barrel. Despite its "full-size" designation it is smaller than both the USP45 and USP40/9 but has a longer barrel. The HK45 uses the ERGO profile grip similar to the recently introduced HK P30. The HK45 Compact is functionally identical with a shorter barrel/slide and a shorter, "slim-line" grip.
Both the HK45 and HK45 Compact can be fitted with threaded barrels for use with muzzle mounted sound suppressors.
The new pistols should be available at HK Premium Dealers in December 2007. For additional information about the HK45 series or other HK products, please visit us on the web at www.hk-usa.com.

There is very little calm at Manchester City and Liverpool right now. The Citizens are battling Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli is on the verge of suspension and they are still without the Toure's thanks to the Africa Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, the Red are coming off of an embarrassing 3-1 loss to Bolton and the heat is starting to come down on Kenny Dalglish. As they get ready for Wednesday's Carling Cup semifinal though, it's Liverpool that are sitting pretty thanks to a 1-0 away win in the first leg that gives them the inside track to Wembley.
As much activity as there has been at both clubs in recent weeks, nobody could call the first leg between the teams active or entertaining. It was a downright dull match, filled with horrid passing, few chances and an all-around lack of imagination so it was no surprise the only goal came courtesy a stupid tackle. Stefan Savic took down Daniel Agger for a penalty and Steven Gerrard slotted it home. Aside from that, the match is probably best off being erased from your memory.
Unfortunately, it's tough to imagine the second leg being much better. Yaya Toure is away on Africa Cup of Nations duty, leaving a gaping hole in the center of the pitch for City, and Kolo Toure is also away, dorcing the mistake-prone Savic into action. Mario Balotelli also appears likely to miss the match through suspension for a stamp on Scott Parker's head, although he can still appeal the ruling and be eligible to play.
For Liverpool, nothing about their recent play can be described as positive. Luckily, they only have to protect a lead to make the final, but with the way they have played of late, it could very well be too much to ask that they protect that lead.
The one thing that is clear is that one of these teams will be all over the headlines on Thursday and it won't be the team that wins. Either the drama at City will be magnified or the Reds' struggles will continue and Dalglish will really feel the heat. This one isn't pretty, but it's got plenty to talk about. Maybe we'll even be lucky enough to get something on the pitch to talk about.
Liverpool vs. Manchester City
Match Date/Time: Wednesday, January 25, 2:45 p.m. ET, 7:45 p.m. local
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool, England
TV: Fox Soccer Channel (USA), Sky Sports 1 (UK)

He took to his twitter Saturday night to say, "I was released from the hospital late today. Thank you for all of your kind wishes."
The toughest Sheriff in America took a tumble Thursday in downtown Phoenix.
Doctors found that he had a broken shoulder.
While the Sheriff was still hospitalized, Ava Arpaio said he was ready to get back to work. "He gets impatient if he has to stay in bed."

As Bismarck continues to grow, many residents wonder if two new elementary schools are big enough.
Taxpayers helped approve the building of Lincoln and Liberty Elementaries in the fall of 2012, But the population of students might already be outgrowing the new schools.
The school board works to make the grade when it comes to adjusting to the issue of an increasing enrollment.
So far, 507 students are registered at Liberty Elementary and 475 at Lincoln Elementary for the fall.
Both schools are technically built to hold 488 students.
Superintendent Tamara Uselman says the school board did know this was going to happen...
and planned for it.
"The lunch room is built for 100 more than that. The gyms are built for 100 more than that. The music space is built for 100 more than that so that's what we call having a bigger core and what we can do as a district when we're at the point of needing extra space is to put an addition on of four classrooms for about 100 more students," says Tamara Uselman, Superintendent, BPS.
Uselman says the school board is aware of capacity issues across the district but they want to be conservative.
"While parents might have some frustration about that, the flip side is if the board would have overbuilt and the space wasn't needed they would have been accused of misusing taxpayer money. So this is kind of that happy medium," says Uselman.
Both Liberty and Lincoln are designed to be able to add on to the facilities once the schools are too full.
"We feel confident about handling the inflow of kids that we're getting right now." says Shelly Swanson, Lincoln Elementary Principal.
Lincoln Elementary just finished its first school year...
And principal Shelly Swanson says they expect to see an additional 120 students in the coming fall.
"But certainly there is a point in time where I imagine we would be considered full."
Uselman wants to assure the public that the school board studies enrollment and growth at least once a month.
"You only have so much money in a bond, you can only build so much square footage at a time, and when that's maximized their ace in the hole, like I said, is that they built that core big enough to hold more classrooms and it really is a brilliant plan on their part and careful with our tax dollars," says Uselman.
Uselman says adjusting to increased enrollment is a constant project and continues to be every year.
Uselman says Bismarck is projected to see an additional 300 to 350 students in the coming years.
Middle Schools are also getting close to capacity which she says will be another issue in the next two to three years.
