Defense winding down case at George Zimmerman trial
SANFORD, Fla. - BREAKING UPDATE: George Zimmerman has told Judge Debra Nelson that he will not testify during his murder trial.
Before announcing his decision, Zimmerman's father took the witness stand.
Robert Zimmerman Sr. was called to the witness stand Wednesday to testify that it's his son's voice screaming on a 911 call that captured the fight between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman's mother was the first witness called in the defense's case. She also testified her son's voice was yelling for help on the 911 call.
Earlier on Wednesday, Judge Debra Nelson ruled that Trayvon Martin's cellphone text messages about fighting and a defense animation depicting the struggle between Martin and George Zimmerman won't be introduced as evidence at Zimmerman's trial. Defense attorneys had wanted to use those pieces of evidence as they conclude their presentation.
Judge Debra Nelson made her ruling a day after she heard arguments on the matter. Prosecutors had claimed the texts were irrelevant and taken out of context. They also objected to the computer animation, questioning its accuracy and saying it would mislead jurors.

"This is a murder trial. This isn't `Casablanca.' This isn't `Iron Man,"' prosecutor Richard Mantei said.
The judge seemed concerned about the animation's accuracy during arguments. While the animation can't be introduced as evidence that can be reviewed by jurors during their deliberations, defense attorneys may be able to use it during closing arguments, she ruled.
"To have an animation go back into jury room that they can play over and over again gives a certain weight to something that this court isn't exactly certain comports with the evidence presented at trial," Nelson said Wednesday night.
The judge agreed with prosecutors' concerns about introducing the 17-year-old's text messages. But defense attorney Don West had argue the texts were relevant since they showed Martin's interest in fighting and physical capabilities.
Defense attorneys on Wednesday called one of their last witnesses as they started winding down their case. Public safety consultant Dennis Root testified that Martin was in better physical shape than Zimmerman, and that the neighborhood watch volunteer wasn't any athlete.
"He would find himself lacking when compared to Mr. Martin," Root said of Zimmerman.
Martin was unarmed and returning from a store when he was fatally shot by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, during a struggle on a dark, rainy night in February 2012. Martin was black and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. Some civil rights activists argued that the initial delay in charging Zimmerman was influenced by Martin's race. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin in self-defense.
Jurors spent a significant part of Tuesday listening to a defense expert on gunshot wounds testify that the trajectory of the bullet and gunpowder on Martin's body support Zimmerman's account that the teenager was on top of the defendant when he shot and killed Martin.
Dr. Vincent DiMaio, the forensic pathologist, also used photographs of Zimmerman to point out where he appeared to have been struck. Defense attorneys were hoping DiMaio's testimony would help convince jurors of Zimmerman's claims that he shot Martin in self-defense.
DiMaio said the muzzle of Zimmerman's gun was against Martin's clothing and it was anywhere from 2 to 4 inches from Martin's skin.
"This is consistent with Mr. Zimmerman's account that Mr. Martin was over him, leaning forward at the time he was shot," said DiMaio, the former chief medical examiner in San Antonio.
DiMaio testified that lacerations to the back of Zimmerman's head were consistent with it striking a concrete sidewalk, as the defendant has claimed. Later, when looking at photos of Zimmerman's injuries taken the night of the shooting, DiMaio identified six separate impacts to Zimmerman's face and head. He said he believed Zimmerman's nose had been broken.
"It's obvious he's been punched in the nose and hit in the head," he said.
Under cross-examination, DiMaio conceded that the gunshot could also be consistent with Martin pulling away from Zimmerman, and that he reached his conclusion without factoring in statements from some neighbors who say Zimmerman was on top of Martin. DiMaio, who has testified at high-profile trials including that of record producer Phil Spector, said witness accounts are often unreliable. The pathologist said he had been paid $2,400 by the defense.
DiMaio's testimony also addressed the difference between
Zimmerman's account that he had placed Martin's arms out to his sides and a photo taken after the shooting that shows Martin's arms under his body. The pathologist said Martin would have been conscious for 10 to 15 seconds after the shooting as a reserve supply of oxygen ran out of his body, and during that time he could have moved his arms.
After DiMaio testified, the 911 calls that captured sounds of the fatal encounter were discussed again. Defense attorneys called Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte to the witness stand to describe the circumstances of how Martin's family came to hear the 911 tapes. Bonaparte said he played the 911 tapes while members of Martin's family sat together at City Hall. He played them as a courtesy before they were released publicly.
Defense attorneys are trying to show that Martin's family members may have influenced each other in concluding the screams are those of the Miami teen. Police officers testified for the defense that it's better for someone who is trying to identify a voice to listen to it alone.
Convincing the jury of who was screaming for help on the tape has become the primary goal of prosecutors and defense attorneys because it would help jurors evaluate Zimmerman's self-defense claim. Relatives of Martin's and Zimmerman's have offered conflicting opinions about who is heard screaming.

Jim DeMint
DeMint: 'We See Conservative Principles Working Everywhere'
New Heritage Foundation preident Jim DeMint espoused conservative principles rather than discussing the state of the Republican Party in a CNBC interview Tuesday, saying conservative ideas are working all over the country and national electoral success would follow with a strong grass roots campaign like in 2010. One example the former South Carolina Senator gave …
Cobbling Together a Cliff Coalition
Negotiations over the so-called fiscal cliff entered a critical stage this week as the outlines of a potential compromise began to materialize.
Brand USA Scandal Deepens
KTS Business Consulting's recent audit of Brand USA—the government-subsidized corporation created by Congress to promote United States tourism that has been dogged by allegations of cronyism and waste—obtained by the Free Beacon shows a company without vision, motivation, or oversight.
The Crony Cliff
Some see a danger of political cronyism and corruption arising from the back room deal underway as Congress negotiates with the White House to avoid the fiscal cliff.
Brand Exodus
Another top executive has departed from Brand USA, a public-private corporation founded to promote U.S. tourism, in the wake of a congressional report detailing what its authors call waste and cronyism.
Brand WASTE
The federal government's latest taxpayer-funded effort to promote U.S. tourism is dogged by lavish spending, cronyism, and questionable accounting, according to a report released Thursday by two U.S. Senators.
Tarnished Brand
The partially taxpayer-funded corporation to promote tourism, Brand USA, has released an overdue annual report detailing lavish parties for some of the nation's top tourism executives.
Senators Call for Probe of Brand USA
Several Republican Senators are launching a probe into Brand USA, a public-private corporation established by Congress to promote U.S. tourism accused by critics of being a slush-fund for Democratic boosters.
The Cronyism Board
The government-appointed board behind an aggressive overseas advertising campaign to promote tourism to the U.S. is little more than a corporate welfare program and a slush fund for wealthy Democratic donors, critics say.

RICHMOND (WRIC) - 8News is taking the lead to bring awareness about sickle cell disease. It's an inherited blood disorder that affects 4,000 people in Virginia.
Yet many of them suffer in silence because of various stigmas. 8News anchor Amie McLain explores some of them and tells us where support is available.
With all these pictures on her wall, you can tell family means a lot to Bridget Wilson -- and for her, a good support system starts at home.
When her twin boys Brendon and Bryant were born with sickle cell disease -- she became their number one advocate.
For the past 25 years, she's been right at their side through hospital visits, health scares and horrific pain.
"One of the twins told me that he felt like he wanted to die because the pain was so intense," she says. "So as a mother that breaks your heart because there's nothing you can do but try to help them cope with the pain."
Ironically, one big stigma is that sickle cell patients don't experience much pain.
"They really think when they come into the hospital and they're in a pain crisis that they are drug seekers."
For that reason, many patients receive smaller doses of the pain medicine they're prescribed or their complaints aren't taken seriously.
Wilson's son, Brendon dealt with that scenario last year when he went to the hospital after suffering a stroke.
Another big stigma tied to sickle cell disease is that patients can't enjoy life.
When Brendon and Bryant begged to play football as kids, mom decided to side-step the doctor's suggestion and let them take the field.
"I knew that they were not the best athletics but they really wanted to play, so I advocated for them to play football even though they were on the sidelines," she says. "They were on the team and that was very important for them."
At 68 years old, George Carter, is debunking the stigma that sickle cell patients can't live a long enjoyable life. Years ago, he was told he should never get on a plane.
"Once upon a time I couldn't fly anywhere. Now I've flown to China, Europe..."
Carter manages the Sickle Cell Association of Richmond known as OSCAR. The group is working to defeat these stigmas and provide a support network for families like Wilson's.
"We also bring in speakers to talk about things like pain management, stress management and good nutrition."
When it comes to sickle cell disease, awareness and education made all the difference for Wilson and her family.
"Hopefully we'll get the word out and people will be very knowledgeable about sickle cell disease," she says.
The Sickle Cell Association of Richmond Support Group meets the third Thursday of the Month. People Gather from 6 to 8 p.m. at VCU Medical Center behind the cafeteria on the first floor. For more information, call (804) 321-3311.
The group is gearing up for a big fundraiser in may called the Unity Ride and each month until then Amie McLain will spotlight a certain aspect of sickle cell disease.
The FDA is hosting a special meeting with sickle cell patients to learn more about which treatment options work best. It's happening February 7 in Silver Spring, Maryland, but you must register by Monday. Click her for more information: patientfocusedsicklecell.eventbrite.com

text: The Power Of Words empowernetwork.com /whitewavehealing Tweet Never Underest imat e The Power Of Your Words The words we use are all have so much power. They literally have the power to create and change the world around us. They can do this in a loving or destructive way depending on which words we use on a regular basis. This is because of the law of cause and effect. Every action has a reaction. Every thought or word creates a certain resonance that causes a reaction in our environment. So how much power are we talking about? Dr Emoto is a man who has studied the effect of words, music and prayer on water. He has conducted these studies by looking at water as it freez es under a microscope. Originally he found that clean water produced beautiful crystals when froz en, but polluted water did not. He then tried a number of other experiments; He played music around the water before freez ing it he stored water in jars with different words pasted on the them such as 'love' or 'hate', he said or thought different things around the water and he also had different water samples blessed. What he discovered was that when loving or caring things were said, thought, pasted on the side of the container, conveyed in music or prayer, then the water would form the most beautiful crystals. When negative words were projected on to the water in some way, the froz en water would just look messy and chaotic. Its pretty amaz ing to think if words have the power to change the quality of water, imagine what we could all do for this earth and for ourselves if we put our minds to it. Think about the words you use in your daily life. Are they uplifting or are they holding you back? What words do you use when you are talking about other people? Remember our blood is 90% water. How are you affecting other people with your words? If you start to be aware of the words you use, and make a conscious effort to use more uplifting ones, you will be amaz ed at the changes that start to occur in not only your own life but also in the lives of those around you.

This pair of handmade Darlingtonia Moccasins features a mossy green body with a lovely red apple on the toe.
These moccasins are made of suede leather, which will stretch and shape to your foot with wear. They come with a soft cushioned 3/8 inch (1 cm) thick insole made from a super comfy eco-friendly closed cell foam. These moccasins are softsoled, which means they have no hard sole only leather. The bottom of the shoes is the same leather as the rest of the shoe.
The color of your moccasins may vary slightly from your computer screen. Please be aware the dye used to color the suede may stain your feet or socks, especially if they become wet (there's no way around this, and it drives me crazy too!) This normally goes away over time.
Method of Construction:
All Darlingtonia moccasins are sewn using a completely manual antique Singer 29k sewing machine equipped with a foot treadle. All holes punched and pattern pieces cut are done one at a time by hand. Using needle & thread along with leather cement each pair of moccasins comes together and gets laced up using cotton cording.
Turnaround Time:
For my current turnaround time please visit my News & Updates page.
Please use my sizing chart to determine which size will fit you best.

Arson on my mind.
Bandit Records has just released Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets, a collection of duets George Jones has recorded over the years with the likes of everyone from Tammy Wynette to Leon Russell.
While it's kind of a headscratcher of a release (all the recorded duets had previously been left off other George Jones albums because apparently they weren't up to snuff, so essentially what we have here is a bottom-scraping collection ... for a guy who's still alive ... er ...), the album actually does have a few interesting moments. And from a guy who likes the brand of country music that Jones is best for about as much as he likes dentists, that says a lot.
Sure, Jones lived the rock and roll lifestyle when it came to drinking, but you're probably not going to hear "He Stopped Loving Her Today" or "(I Was Country) When Country Wasn't Cool" the next time you come around to my place.
Still, Jones wrote "Burn Your Playhouse Down" which was covered amazingly on the Proclaimers' debut album, This is the Story, so ... that gets some major coolness points in my book.
And what does this collection hold? Why, a version of that song with none other than Keef sharing the mic with George!
George Jones & Keith Richards - Burn Your Playhouse Down
This was actually recorded back in 1994 and why it never made it out until 14 years later is kind of beyond me ... it's kind of ragged sounding, but anything with Keith's vocals usually is, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Gotta love Keith's slipshod guitar solo before the sharper pedal steel work comes in... the old studio pros weren't going to let this go TOO "alt country" now, were they? Actually the charm of these two substance survivors swapping rather scary threats to a runaround who done 'em wrong sounds about as hardcore old school as you can get, and aside from the eye-rollingly obligatory "Thank you, Keith," "Thank you, George!" at the end, this is probably one of the best versions of the song out there.
Labels: George Jones, Keith Richards

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – From war to the written word, veterans are sharing their stories at Cape Fear Community College.
It's part of a program called "StoryForce."
The six-week writing seminar for students encouraged military veterans to write about their experience serving their country and returning home from war.
At an event at the college Wednesday night, the veterans read what they wrote to their peers.
Those who took part in the program found it to be therapeutic.
Kenny Smalls told us, "One day a doctor said, 'Kenny, you know the best thing for you to do is put your story in writing and let other people read it.' And ever since I started doing that I felt better, I'm able to be more alive, be a better human and this is just a great opportunity."
CFCC's English department sponsored the program.
Each student was paired with a writing mentor and now, their story is included in a StoryForce publication.

Ice hockey injuries are generally defined as either chronic (overuse) injuries or acute (traumatic) injuries.
Overuse injuries are cumulative aches and pains that occur over time and can often be prevented with appropriate training and rest. Traumatic injuries are often accidents that occur suddenly and can't be avoided, but require immediate first aid.
Common Ice Hockey Pain and InjuriesStatistics indicate that the large majority of ice hockey injuries are caused by direct trauma during games. Hard body checks, player collisions, forced collisions with the walls and ice, and direct blows from the puck, flying sticks and skates all add up to injuries and underscore the inherent danger of ice hockey.
Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains are the most common type of hockey injury. The best immediate treatment for sprains and strains is the R.I.C.E. method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
Cuts and Lacerations
Cuts and scrapes to the head and face also top the list of hockey injuries, but using helmets with a full face shield has reduced the severity and frequency of these injuries.
Bruises and Contusions
Flying skaters, sticks and pucks, along with the many collisions on the ice frequently leave hockey players tending a variety of bruises and contusions.
Muscle Cramps
A cramp is a sudden, intense pain caused by a muscle involuntary and forcibly contracting muscle that does not relax.
Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness
This is the sort of muscle soreness experienced from 12 to 48 hours following a tough workout or game. Getting enough rest often is all you need to recover.
Overtraining Syndrome
Overtraining syndrome frequently occurs in athletes who train beyond the body's ability to recover.
Head, Neck and Shoulder Injuries from Hockey
- black eye
- concussion
- fractured clavicle (shoulder)
- torn rotator cuff
- shoulder separation
- shoulder dislocation
- whip lash
- neck strain
- burner or stinger of the neck
Knee and Leg Injuries from Hockey
- anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) injurie
- injuries to the meniscus
- groin pull
- hamstring pull, tear, or strain>
- iliotibial band syndrome
- pulled or strained calf muscle
- shin splints
- sprains and strains
- hip pointer injury
Foot and Ankle Injuries from Hockey
Hand Injuries from Hockey
Back Injuries from Hockey
Tips for Preventing Ice Hockey InjuriesExperts agree that wearing appropriate safely equipment -- such as helmets, mouth guards, and protective pads -- can reduce the risk of serious ice hockey injuries.

Interested in Starting a Kids Yoga Class Downtown?
Nancy has a wonderful idea of trying to organize a group for a kids yoga class.
My 4 year old son is, like many, really interested in movement right now. I've been looking for yoga classes for his age group in downtown Portland and am striking out.
So, my first question is, have urbanMAMAS already scouted this out and could you point me in the right direction? (Note from the urbanMamas: there was a previous thread on Yoga for Kids with a few suggestions).
If such classes do not exist, I'd like to go to Yoga Pearl and ask them if they'd be interested in starting a regular class for kids. Before I do that, however, I'd like to be able to tell them how much demand is out there. And maybe even have a group of kids ready to sign up.
Is there interest out there? Should Nancy inquire about setting this up?

"Can anyone explain to me the deep, deep love for Beltran on this site? The guy's a good player and all, but he's had three good years and three bad years for us (plus this year). It's not like he's been some insane world beater for his tenure as a Met." Afrosupreme
AA Quote of the Week
"Yeah, you're completely off. He has had three Hall of Fame caliber seasons, one great season cut short by injury (2009), one mediocre season, and one bad half-season affected by injury, and he is currently enjoying another great season. He was the premier player at his position through most of his time with the team, and is one of the top three or four everyday players in the history of the franchise. So excuse us for liking the guy." dcmetsfan

"Just Ok"
Getting kind of tired of these characters although Pendergast is more lively and interesting than in some of the previous stories. Still, there doesn't seem to be a real point to this series anymore. Maybe it's time for the authors to start something new.
"LIke the story but want another Maisie Dobbs"
It was a good listen,probably true to what those who lived through WWI experienced. I really hope, though, that we get more Maisie Dobbs stories from Ms. Winspear.
"Great series"
I have really come to appreciate this series of stories with characters I care about and stories that are intriguing. Love the narrator.
"Sort of ok but terrible narration!"
I have read or listened to all of James Rollins books. This one is very hard to take mostly because of the narrator. Just terrible!! He totally detracts from the story and is making it very difficult to finish. Please get someone else next time. But please Not Scott Brick either!
"Just not that good."
I have read most of Douglas Preston's books. This one was kind of silly except when it was quite violent. Just not that good.
"Great Series"
I've very much enjoyed all four books in the series. Lots of action, great narration.
"I'll continue listening to this series"
I got the first of this series for free. It was so good I had to continue on. Very fast moving, The author's not afraid to make the Gray Man a little tough and hard to like sometimes. All in all, a great book. I'll move on to the next one.
"Just OK"
I'm new to this series. I love historical fiction but this one just didn't really do much for me. It's ok but I doubt I will listen to any more. Seemed kind of slow and plodding. I would have liked more history mixed in as it does take place during WWI. Just not one of my favorites.
"No recipes please!!"
This is my first try with this series. I guess one of the reasons people might listen is for the recipes but I find them extremely annoying and detracting from the flow of the story. If I can skip through the recipes, I might finish but I'll listen to other books first.
"Still writing great books"
Sometimes after a certain number of books, an author's writing becomes stale and formulaic. Fortunately not Sara Paretsky. She finds ways to keep developing her characters and keeping the stories fresh. I loved the history introduced into this book and look forward to the next.
"Little pieces of history"
An interest look at the history of the US and those who contributed in many different ways. I regularly enjoy Winchester's book. Interesting that he has decided to become an American citizen.
Note - if you are not a fan of NPR and, instead, like Rush Limbaugh and others of the same mind and/or if you are a hunter, you may not enjoy this book quite so much.

I came out of my unofficial blog retirement to post this cray little girl dancing
This video is appropriately titled, "WERK" because girl can werk it. I'm confident she was a drag queen in a former life due to her being fierce as a hell.
This girl is TEN YEARS OLD and crazy. I stalked her a little on YouTube and she does all kinds of dances, not all of them are borderline hoochie and highly inappropriate for 10 year olds.
Her dance move at 1:55 reminded me of the fork in the garbage disposal dance, hahahaha. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please see below (NSFW):
Ballet is hard. THIS IS SO CUTE IT HURTS.
Dear future awkward little girl,
I can relate.
A currently awkward big girl
James Franco lip syncing to Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend." No, really. Yes, it's awesome.
This literally made my day.
James Franco and his new lady friend, Ashley Benson (this is me pretending like I know who that is), for no reason at all, made this "music video." He posted it to his WhoSay channel (again, this is me pretending like I know what that is) and took it down pretty quickly.
My bet is he's afraid of the Beliebers……… which, if you didn't know, are Justin Bieber fans. Fun fact: my website is belieber.wordpress.com, and I made it before Justin Bieber ever existed. And the reason for that is because my last name IS LIEB so people nicknamed me Belieber.
JUSTIN BIEBER STOLE MY NICKNAME. Not ok with it.
I dare you not to laugh/smile at this.
Ahhhhh it kills me.
24 grooms and their priceless reactions to seeing their brides!
I'm pretty sure EVERYONE'S favorite part of the wedding is seeing the groom's reaction as the bride walks down the aisle and he sees her for the first time. A new trend is for this introduction to happen before the ceremony so that the bride and groom can hug it out, and more importantly capture the moment on camera/film so they remember it forever!
I'm obsessed with…. THIS TREEHOUSE! I want these people to adopt me.
Apartment Therapy highlighted a do-it-yourselfer that custom built his kids an amazing treehouse. You can see that post here, and the actual creator document process here! I included the pictures in a slideshow at the bottom, it's pretty dope. I want them to adopt me!
For those of you who don't know how amazing my husband it, here is a glimpse.
He has almost single-handedly remodeled our house, room by room, over the last 7 years.
We still have a few more projects in the house, but he was persuaded to work outside this time on a treehouse for our kids.
I always wanted a treehouse as I was growing up and never got the chance to have one, so when he told our kids last year that he would build one for them, I made him deliver on that promise!
It took him a bit longer than expected because he is a perfectionist and a beautiful designer, so it evolved as he built it.
But, the end result was definitely worth it. The kids are thrilled and I am so proud of him.
I documented the process with my iphone, but took some final photos with my good camera, both at night and daytime.
I am obsessed with… this hidden Narnia playroom!
I LOVE HIDDEN ROOMS. And a Narnia room, no less? Uhhh yeah, I hope these people adopt me. This would be up there with like….a Harry Potter playroom under the stairs.
Apparently they found out there was some extra underutilized space next to their daughter's bedroom, so they finished it, and made it into a hidden room that she could only access via her wardrobe.

Blake Lively girl crush at an all time high.
Except for that tacky ass ring, that's probably made of pink diamonds and worth a million dollars. But whatever, it's still ugly. But she's so pretty I don't care.

Will someone buy this for me?
I've been searching for a good weekender bag for a while. I just stumbled upon this one for $335.50, and it's way more than I can afford, but it's AWESOME. It's like a suitcase AND a weekender bag, all in one. Ball-er.
It's technically a men's bag, since the website I found it on is called Gent Supply Co, hahaha. But whatever. LUGGAGE IS UNISEX.
So, if I have any rich readers out there that want to buy it for me….. firstname.lastname@example.com hahaha. Until then, I shall gawk at it from afar.

I'm obsessed with………. this sexy Pizza pinup calendar
HAHA. this story makes me laugh. I WANT ONE!!! No seriously, I want one. My company is being cheap and not buying people calendars this year, so I need one for my desk. Someone get on that!
New York pizza joint L'asso has unveiled its 2012 pizza calendar, "Pizza is My Lover," which features "12 months of sexy pizza pinups plus a pull out CENTERFOLD!"
The above photo is a sultry beach pose, worth of a Victoria's Secret swimsuit model like Marissa Miller, except I'm pretty sure I think the pizza looks better, and makes me feel tingly all over.
I hope they release a full sized poster that I can put on my ceiling and stare at before I go to bed at night.

Our favorite virgin couple describe what their wedding night will be like. Even more awkwardness.
If you missed my first post about this couple, Shanna and Ryan, from TLC's upcoming show The Virgin Diaries, please educate yourself here. Then come back, because you DO NOT want to miss this. Well, maybe you do. I dunno…
I have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite show. And I'm so f*cking excited (no pun intended). I'm DEFINITELY going to be live-blogging this…. because seriously? OMGGGG. Just watch the video. ;laskdjf;aslkdfj;aksdjf;aklsdjf;alskdjf;aksdjf ;alksdj f;lak df;alksdfj;akdjlsf. My favorite part, and the part that was painfully awkward to watch, was them talking about…what…. they'll…. be doing:
"I think that you should take a shower first, and then I'll take a shower, and then I'll put on my lingerie, and I'll come into the room," Shanna suggests
"And I'll have a surprise waiting for you," adds Ryan. [bethany: HIS PENIS. I think he means his penis.]
"We'll have our robes on………….we'll slowly take our robes of……………..then do foreplay………and then have sex," says Shanna.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA. It's just SOOOOO. AWKWARD. Also, I'm pretty sure Shanna lost her virginity on that Seesaw. Just sayin'.
I hope everyone watches this with me THIS SUNDAY at 9 PM EST….. on TLC. You can follow my live blogging on Twitter, or here on the website… I'll be doing it (ha. I said "doing it") both places.

First full-length trailer for The Hunger Games!!! It looks so good.
Ahhhhhh, HOLY CRAP, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!! The first full-length trailer for The Hunger Games was released, man oh man. I got chills like 4 times watching it.
The film is set in the future (but not too cliche futuristic) where the US is split into districts. Every so often they have "Hunger Games" where one boy and girl from each district fight to the death.
If you haven't read The Hunger Games trilogy, I suggest you do it before the movie comes out. I always like reading books before a movie. But if you're one of those lazy people that only wants to see the movies, here's the trailer for the first book of the trilogy, The Hunger Games.
It stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson. Amazingly enough, it seems like the movies will be better than the books, which is rare, but not surprising considering the books aren't very well written. I'd compare them to Twilight in that the story and characters are very interesting, but the author doesn't have a very strong voice. It's very elementary at times, the characters lack depth, there are plot holes, some events are extremely predictable, etc. Maybe a director and screenwriter will be able to expand on the story and characters to make it more interesting? We'll see. It's also SUCH a visual story. A lot of reading the book requires imagination. It'll probably make the story much more interesting to see it actually like………..on the screen. The whole battle grounds and some of the scenes.
I LOVE the casting of Liam and Jennifer, but Josh doesn't seem like he's a fit for Peeta? We'll have to see. Anyway, who's excited about this? I sure am!!
I'm obsessed with…watching videos of people dancing like Beyonce in their living room
My new favorite thing to do on the internet is to look at people trying to duplicate Beyonce's music video choreography. I've spent the last half hour in the waiting room YouTubing this stuff and it's basically the most amazing thing ever. From what I can tell, they mostly fall into three categories:
First category, the people that think they're amazing, but they're not. This particular girl has like…. 20 Beyonce dancing videos. Each of them are equally as fierce as this one (read: they suck just as bad)…. have fun watching them all:
Second category, the gay men who can't dance either, but at least get points for at least being fabulous:
Third category, these ones are more rare, but then there's the people that are actually amazing.
I am obsessed with…. this BEAUTIFUL and well-spoken woman on YouTube. Why yes I'm being sarcastic!
My favorite part?:
"I can't fabish how rude and f*cked up you can be to people"
Then the video's info said:
I am obsessed with… this YSL bag.
I want this. I don't even know if you can buy it anymore, of if it's still sold. I found it on Odes' blog. I think it's a men's bag. But someone should find it. And buy it for me. That'd be swell. Thanks.
I'm obsessed with…. The Ultimate Nerd Guide to NYC!
Someone with a LOT of time on their hands created the Ultimate Nerd Guide to NYC. Completely with a graphic map, and Google Maps link which you can scope out each each location here!
I visit NYC often because my family lives there, so it looks like I'll have to bring this along with me next time I go. There are some super nerdy locations I'd love to see, like Peter Parker's apartment, The Avengers headquarters, Ghostbusters headquarters, Ninja Turtle headquarters, Men in Black headquarters……. pretty neat stuff. Kudos to whoever has ABSOLUTELY NO LIFE and compiled this list.

Prepare your eyes for her beauty and allow me to introduce VICKY POLLARD.
I was reading this article during my lunch break about how some teenagers' brains don't develop correctly and it is supposedly the cause for a lot of behavioral problems. At least I think that's what the article said, to be honest I can't remember because I'm currently experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from laying my eyes on this creature:
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE TO YOU……….Vicky Pollard. I had to do some work to figure out who she is. The photo was linked in the article with little to no explanation. The caption was vague:
Yeah, but: Vicky Pollard-esque teens can't be blamed for their behaviour
At least I got a name. VICKY POLLARD. After seeing the picture, I searched furiously for an explanation. WHO IS THIS CREATURE? How can I find out more about her? So I googled her to find out as much as I could, and found these beautiful images:
Unfortunately, after Googling her I found out that Vicky is a fictional character from a television show called Little Britain. This news was pretty devastating to me, because she has everything going for her. EVERYTHING! She has the body, the face, the notoriety. I planned on making her a regular fixture in my Celebrity Gossip section. But sadly, Vicky is actually named Matt Lucas. Can you believe it!? That beautiful woman is actually a man. The producers must have had used the most talented makeup/wardrobe in the industry to transform a man into such a convincing woman. I never would've guessed.
The fact that she's not real doesn't curb my obsession, though. I plan on YouTubing the SHIT out of her later. So, stay tuned. THIS IS NOT THE LAST YOU'LL SEE OF VICKY POLLARD. Not if it's up to me.
(And yes, I added this post into my "eye candy" category. DON'T JUDGE ME.)
I'm obsessed with……Gregory Gorgeous! He's a transexual that's prettier *and* more confident than me.
He is prettier than me. His makeup looks better. He can walk in heels better than I can, and he looks better in women's clothing. FML.
But, for the record, I haven't used the word "conceited" to describe someone since I wassssss 15. It's not even in my vocabulary. So at least I have that going for me. WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND, GREGORY?
To check out Gregory's YouTube channel with lots of makeup tutorials, rants, and tips on how to be a hot fierce slut, go here.

A Providence nightclub will remain closed in the aftermath of a double shooting that critically injured two Massachusetts men.
The city's licensing board on Monday continued a hearing on the shooting after Club Karma agreed to close its doors until the issue can be discussed again Thursday.
"On the license board, we weigh heavily on public safety and we're happy that both parties mutually agreed," said Everett Bianco of the Board of Licenses.
The Board of Licenses temporarily ordered the Karma nightclub closed, hours after the shooting early Saturday morning.
The victims were identified as 24-year-old Kenneth E. Leslie of Chelsea, Mass., and 26-year-old Rodney Hoskins of Mattapan, Mass. Both were listed in critical but stable condition.
Police said the victims were identified as members of the Walk Hill Bloods gang in Boston and both have arrest records for weapons and other felonies.
Police have asked that Karma's license be suspended. Investigators don't know why the two men were shot, but whom and what retaliation might result.
"This was an egregious offense where a gun ends up in a club and people are shot," said Col. Hugh Clements of the Providence Police Department.
Several police officers testified as to what they saw happened Saturday.
Lawyers for the club say they are taking the allegations very seriously.
"If the allegations are proven to be true, the first thing the club will do is fire its security team, which is a third-party team, and hire an appropriate team who knows what it's doing. Because if this is true, and a gun did get in, then someone didn't do their job," said Peter Petrarca, a representative for Club Karma.
The club has been sanctioned for other violent episodes in the past few years.

Managing Stress
The balance of mental, emotional & spiritual health in any individual is important.
Stress comes in many forms, and it is important to identify the source(s). Stress often stems from problems with relationships, work or finances. How do you find relief from stressful situations that occur in life? It depends on your everyday choices. For example, after a stressful day at work, do you take a walk, or stop at a bar for a few drinks?
The digestive system is very sensitive to stress levels.
The capability of the organs to produce enzymes can be adversely affected by stress. As stress continues, there is a notable increase in intestinal permeability, which can allow for the absorption of undigested food. The body reacts with antibody production against the undigested food because it is identified as 'foreign.' During any stress response, digestion suffers because blood and energy are diverted away from the digestive organs toward the skeletal muscles and brain - preparing the body for fight or flight. Eating should never occur when in such a state. If so, the food will not be digested, and an allergic reaction or sensitivity to it may well develop.
Regardless of degree of hunger, it is best to forgo eating until the stress response subsides or is consciously eliminated. Such conscious control can be learned by practicing techniques for relaxation of the body and mind. These techniques may involve the practice of meditation and/or relaxation exercises, physical exercises and deep breathing. Spending 'quiet time' alone, perhaps in a serene outdoor environment, may help reduce stress, as may listening to soothing music or recordings of nature sounds. Warm baths can be relaxing, as can massages. The practice of 'giving thanks' and maintaining a moment of silence before eating is one that is certainly conducive to relaxation and thus to good digestion as well.
It has been discovered fairly recently that the bowel wall has a 'mind of its own,' so to speak, in that it actually contains the same receptors as the brain and undergoes similar neurological processes, especially with regard to serotonin receptors. Essentially then, the bowel quite literally makes 'decisions' with regard to absorption and motility. These decisions, like decisions made by the brain, can be hugely influenced by our emotional state.
There are additional steps to take to create a more harmonious lifestyle and relieve stress when the need arises. Important considerations in the management of stress are lifestyle factors such as time management and exercise.

Joshua P. Klawikowski of Brookfield, 21, faces a single count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, a felony that carries a maximum jail sentence of 10 years. Klawikowki made an initial appearance in court on November 14, where he was ordered to maintain absolute sobriety.
According to the criminal complaint:
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office received several 911 calls Nov. 10 reporting that a car was traveling south in the northbound lanes of Interstate 43.
Klawikowski was seen on Department of Transportation cameras in a black car driving at speeds that topped 100 mph, narrowly missing oncoming cars and trucks. A sheriff's deputy drove parallel to Klawikowski in the northbound lanes and shone his light at him in an attempt to pull him over, but Klawikoski continued driving, weaving through a construction zone on Interstate 94 at Drexel Avenue.
Klawikowski made a U-turn at Ryan Road and was pulled over by sheriff's deputies south of College Avenue at 2:30 a.m. Saturday November 10. When asked if he knew where he was, he looked around, saw an Amtrak sign and said he was at the train station.
Preliminary blood tests showed Klawikowski had a blood-alcohol content of 0.18.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 21.

As we get closer and closer to the end of the season it becomes more evident that the only thing we have left to root for is that we cheer on our young guys and hope to see improvement and sparks of brilliance from the select few which bodes well on our future. Also, the draft. Its what all bad teams look forward to. As the season raps up, we take a look at the standings we sit only in front of charlotte for the leagues worst record. (that sounds kinda of funny when you read it over)
So as i examine the crop that we could get in the top 3 at the worst I say my favorite prospects would go like this,
1. Marcus Smart as a combo guard he is averaging 15.1 ppg, 4.3 apg and 5.7 rebs. Now Smart would need a lot of work with Jameer over the next couple years to become a key starter in the future, working on his court vision, his decision making, and all over make up of what it would take to be a pg on the next level, but Jameer taking on a mentor role I believe he could be a key piece in the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eclOw60dITg
2. Ben Mclemore, while small for a SG at 6'5 Mclemore is a great scorer, and has shown above average athleticism, he is averaging 16.7 ppg 5.3 reb and 2.1 apg while he is more of a high volume scorer we need a guy who can make his own shot and score off the dribble, we have afflalo, but he could be a great young addition to the team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPm1RBynUpY
3. Alex Len, while many people dont know him, he is a guy who can come and make an immediate impact on the next level. The 7'1 C is a intimidating presence on both sides of the ball, while he is averaging He is averaging 11.8 ppg and 9.1 rpg at Maryland, we could pair him with Vucevic and maybe try and move KOQ to the PF position. He would be a reach at 2-3 position but if we were to move out of the top 5, he could be an option. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IknKniuYCic
Well those are my 3 favorites of this draft, please feel free to make your case of "If you were the magic gm who would you draft?

How long does it take to see results from Juvederm? I just got some in my nasolabial folds and lips, and I can't wait to see how it really is going to look.
How Long Before I See Juvederm Results?
Doctor Answers (30)
You should see results already
With most of the injectables, what you see is what you get. There is some minor swelling and bruising, but for the most part, you should see the results the same day. After a week, most of the swelling should be resolved. Many doctors correctly under fill the areas being treated, with the expectation that you may need further injections. This is not a scam to make more money, but a way to ensure that you are not overdone. Once the filler is put in place, it is very hard if not impossible to remove it. So, it is better to come back for a second injection rather than have to suffer through months of overcorrection.
Juvederm Results
With Juvederm or Restylane you will see immediate results. However, I find that they absorb some water and you will see your final results in 3-5 days. Remember, there can be some trmporary bruising and swelling for a few days.
Waiting for Juvederm results
Hi Lilley,
If anything, the results you would see immediately after injection would perhaps be a bit fuller than the final results because of swelling. The amount of swelling depends on the skill of the practitioner, the area injected and the amount of icing used before and after treatment.
If you've got swelling after your injections, then the "final" results should be seen after about 1 week. Hope this helps. Good luck.

See Juvederm injection results immediately!
The wonderful thing about many dermal fillers today is that you will see immediate results. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid or sugar that will attract water.
Because of this, you will see some additional swelling or fullness usually within 2-3 days. This usually resolves within the first week following injection. Rare patients may develop significant swelling, but is less likely.
Facial Fillers: Juvederm Results are Immediate
Facial fillers fall into three categories:
- True Facial Fillers that act to fill atrophic tissue: Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane
- Facial injectables that stimulate cells to produce collagen: Sculptra
- Facial Injectables that are true fillers and stimulate collagen: Radiesse
Juvederm is composed of hyaluronic acid and is thus characterized as a true facial filler. These products fill areas of atrophy and results are immediate.
Web reference: http://www.surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/24/juvederm-filler.aspx
You will see Juvederm results instantly, with subtle changes in the 1st week
Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based filler. You will see immediate results after the injection. HA based fillers are hydrophylic, which means they attract water. In the first few days after injection the area typically gets softer and any bruising or swelling resolves.
Occasionally, patients may benefit from additional volume of filler to acheive "optimal correction". I would wait about 2 weeks after injection and if you have any questions about the result then follow up with your doctor.
Results Noticeable Immediately

The greatest thing about the fillers available today is that, unlike surgery, fillers deliver virtually instant results. If anything, you might look a little swollen for a short time following the injection, but you definitely shouldn't have to wait a few days to see your wrinkles fill in. If you don't see any noticeable improvement in your wrinkles very soon after your treatment, you should definitely follow up with your surgeon or injector, as additional filler may be needed. If you seem a little swollen following treatment, give it a few days to settle and then you should see your "real" results.

Primary Research Interests:
Areas of interest include fungal morphogenesis, especially as related to pathogenesis, fungal cell biology including infection structure function, adhesion, mechanisms of penetration and patterns of colonization. A cytological approach has been used throughout, and continuous effort has been devoted to the improved preservation of fungal cell ultrastructure and affinity probe reactivity using cryogenic means, including high-pressure freezing, freeze substitution and low temperature scanning electron microscopy. Various fluorescent proteins for tagging specific gene products, in situ, are also being utilized.

The Spring Scala project was first revealed to the world last October at SpringOne2GX. SpringSource now has revealed more information about it as well as how it can be used in Scala projects.
Spring Scala project is here in order to bring the power of Spring framework in Scala. It combines the best of two worlds, Spring framework and Scala. Using a pure Java framework like Spring in Scala would feel awkward, so Spring Scala was introduced as a first-class citizen.
Standard operations apply such as wiring up beans in XML (declaratively) and wiring up beans in Scala (programmatically). Additionally, Spring templates can be used in Scala in order to facilitate any sort of data access, or resource handling in general.
As of availability, a first milestone of Spring Scala is available for download here.
This seems totally cool and definitely worth a try. You can find more information and detailed examples in the official announcement page.Related Whitepaper:

As one of his first measures in office, Brazilian Defense Minister Celso Amorim plans to conclude Brazil's participation in the notorious United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Various sectors of the Brazilian government, including Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, agree with Mr. Amorim, who says that the important thing now is to formulate an exit strategy. This story has now been translated into French and Spanish; the translations follow the English version.

On April 4, the Haitian government announced that Michel Martelly won the recent fraudulent "elections" imposed on Haiti by the United States, France and Canada, the so-called "international community," and sanctioned by the United Nations. Haiti now finds itself at a crossroads.
February 23, 2011
This "run-off" presidential election, scheduled for March 20, helps to explain the re-emergence of Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier, since both candidates, Mirlande Manigat and Michel Martelly, have links to the Duvalier past. Manigat's husband is said to have advised Duvalier to create the dreaded tonton macoutes. And Martelly, who was himself a tonton macoute in his youth, has pledged to make Duvalier one of his advisers.

Haiti held its $30,000,000 fraudulent demonstration election on Nov. 28, but we still don't know if or when a run-off will take place, or who will be the candidates. These "demonstration elections" are designed to isolate Fanmi Lavalas and PREVENT real grassroots democracy in Haiti.

Signature Bank will report its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday before the market opens, with a consensus EPS estimate of 84 cents a share, compared to EPS of 85 cents in the fourth quarter and 82 cents a year earlier.Ramsey rated Signature Bank outperform with a $75 price target, and in early April said that the bank's "new equipment/ transportation financing subsidiary [is] a big positive for the story, and a catalyst for shares to outperform," providing "another avenue for Signature to grow loans and utilize its low cost deposit funding." Ramsey said that the 30-member equipment financing team that came "largely from All Points Capital (a subsidiary of Capital One (COF))," should "enable Signature to add $100 million of new loans a quarter once fully leveraged, which is significant given its loan growth of approximately $400 million per quarter in 2011." The analyst called Signature Bank "the best growth story in banking, having grown loans and deposits 31% and 24%, respectively, over the last year." Ramsey estimated that Signature Bank will post first-quarter EPS of 86 cents, with full-year EPS of $3.70 for 2012 and $4.45 for 2013. Interested in more on Signature Bank?

If you're planning to attend the Dec. 18 public hearing on the Riverside power line project before the Riverside City Council be sure to wear red, Jurupa Valley Mayor Laura Roughton told constituents at the Dec. 6 meeting.
And not because it's just days before Christmas.
"Red shows that you're angry" said Jurupa Valley resident Betty Anderson, one of the instigators of the "wear red" campaign.
Jurupa Valley residents have been angry about the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project for about six years and appear to be just as ready now to get up in Riverside's face about the proposal as they were six years ago.
"It's all about politics and money," Anderson said about Riverside officials' decision to run high-voltage power lines through Jurupa Valley.
Riverside officials counter that the project will benefit Jurupa Valley residents by providing emergency power during a catastrophe and by keeping hospitals up and running to treat the injured. Jurupa Valley has no hospital of its own.
Many of the Jurupa Valley residents who attended the Riverside Planning Commission meeting in April wore red. It didn't do much good. Commissioners listened politely and then voted to recommend to the city council t hat they certify the power line project's environmental impact report.
Maybe the red shirts will do the trick at the Dec. 18 meeting.
My colleague Alicia Robinson and I did a story that weighed both sides of the issue. Take a look and decide if you look good in red.
