Tribute to Paul Motian
"The first time I played with Paul I was struck not by his modernity but by the traditional side, the almost pre-bebop feel to his playing,"said the bassist Larry Grenadier, who appears on a handful of Motian's albums, in a band with the pianist Masabumi Kikuchi. "It was such an amazing history of music in his playing, all the time. Not that he was shifting: everything existed in that beat."

Going against his normal strategy of staying attached to a project just long enough to impress people at a Jonas Brothers concert, Brett Ratner has actually directed a movie. Tower Heist stars Ben Stiller as the manager of a luxury apartment complex, where in the penthouse lives a rich investor played by Alan Alda. When Stiller and the rest of the apartment staff discover that Alda is a scam artist who's lost all their money in a Ponzi scheme (TOPICAL!), he leads the plucky crew of knockaround schlubs that includes Precious and Casey Affleck in a heist to steal back their money (because Jamaican house cleaners always have plenty of disposable income to invest with Wall Street guys, didn't you know?). The story of a dorky Jewish guy proving how down with the brother man he is really spoke to Ratner, but to give it the full nachos-stained crotch fondle, he brought on Eddie Murphy as the criminal consultant to give it that quintessential Brett Ratner scene, an interracial buddy duo arguing in a car. Will they argue about the radio? Soul food? Boxing? I can't wait to find out!
And there's really loud music playing over the whole thing, because Brett Ratner movies are essentially the conversation you have at a club, where the content doesn't matter as long as there's enough background noise to convince stupid people they're having fun. NTZ NTZ NTZ NTZ NTZ NTZ…

If you live in the area of where Route 138 crosses Route 106, you may want to start planning out some alternate routes.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has plans to rebuild a bridge on Route 106 in West Bridgewater just over the town line that will have significant impacts on Easton traffic during construction.
The project, which will occurr in the spring of 2014 at it's earliest, was presented in front of Easton selectmen last week, who approved the preliminary concept.
"It's not in Easton, but it's going to impact Easton with a detour route," Easton Department of Public Works Director David Field said. "There will be some impacts for residents and businesses. Although, they can be minimized."
Stantec Consulting Representative Bill Mertz explained that MassDOT chose an option for rebuilding the bridge, which runs over the Hockomock Swamp, that would have the least affect on traffic. At the peak of construction, Route 106 at the area in-between Route 138 and the Charlie Horse will be closed for a three-week period.
A detour route will guide commuters through back roads in West Bridgewater, and will have significant impacts at the Turnpike Street-Purchase Street intersection in Easton.
"During the day, it will be important to have police officers there to direct the traffic," Stantec Santec consultant David DeBaie said. "We are also looking at some temporary traffic signals."
Easton Selectmen expressed concerns over dense traffic at two already dangerous intersections: Route 106 and 138, and Turnpike Street and Purchase Street.
"You're talking about 2 intersections in our community that are very dangerous already," Board of Selectmen Chair Colleen Corona said, adding that the Purchase Street-Turnpike Street intersection has received an 'F' level of service from the State.
DeBaie said safety was a priority, and the intersections would be decorated with heavy signage, and street lines would be altered to ensure commuters did not get confused.
He said the Turnpike-Purchase intersection would be able to handle the detour for the three-week period of time.
"There will be delays," he said." [The intersection] has the capacity - not to confuse that with the promise of the best level of service. There will be delays."
Engineers also promised selectmen that the detour would not last longer than three weeks, answering concerns from Corona.
"We had that road closing for two years with the Central Street bridge and that was a huge impact," she said.
DeBaie said a public hearing would be held at the 25-percent design stage to inform local residents and businesses. It will likely take place this spring.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Take a Tasty Bite Out of Crime continued its fund raising efforts with a new organization taking the lead.
The Jackson Police Foundation has replaced SafeCity as the event sponsor.
Monday evening area residents filled Highland Village to enjoy dancing, music, food and fun while raising money for local crime fighting.
More than 50 restaurants and beverage vendors offered their specialties for area law enforcement and supporters.
Proceeds will also help fund the Metro One helicopter.
"They are support for law enforcement. They've been involved in over 300 arrests so they are vital, and that's just last year," said Jackson Police Foundation President Susan Lunardini.
"Twenty five percent of the net proceeds are going to go straight to Metro One, and then the rest of the money is going to be dispersed as the needs are in the communities," said Take a Tasty Bite out of Crime Chairperson Cindy Clegg.
"The foundation gives donations to the police department in that they assist us to make purchases for different equipment otherwise we may not have had," said Jackson Police Chief Rebecca Coleman.
The Jackson Police Foundation has been in existence for 10 years.
This is the 13th year the fund raiser has been held.

Poor Reporting - Hagrid and MaximeNews
May 15, 2003, 08:38 AM
In what is another example of poor reporting, the Daily Record has an article about the recently-seperated Robbie Coltrane having his arm around a "mystery woman". The paper goes onto report that "Coltrane revealed that Hagrid has a love interest in the latest movie - an 8ft 6in giant called Madame Maxime" - which of course, does not happen until Goblet of Fire and NOT Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm pretty confident that the one has nothing to do with the other.
Previous flubs have been when papers pieced quotes from various sources (Potential SPOILER - highlight) to make it sound like Coltrane said Hagrid would die in Book 5.

PCB lawsuit hearing
New York Lawyers for the Public Interest filed a lawsuit against the DOE and SCA alleging that thousands of light fixtures across New York City are leaking highly toxic PCBs in violation of federal law, thereby endangering the health of NYC schoolchildren and school staff. In response, the DOE and SCA filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. This Friday, April 13 at 11 a.m., New York Lawyers for the Public Interest and co-council will present oral arguments against the city's motion to dismiss the case. The DOE's own testing of lighting in schools has consistently found visible leaks, which suggests that schools across the city have similarly high rates of leaks. Despite community outcry, the DOE and SCA have no plans to remove these lights in less than ten years. The courtroom will be open to the public.
The event will start on: 13/Apr 11:00 am And will end on: 13/Apr 1:00 pm.

I am of Slavic descent (Russian in particular), so the Latvian one intrigued me...
AFAIK, I wouldn't really call Latvia Slavic per se at all and the Latvian language speakers were not really of Slavic descent. I know many in the U.S. seem to think of Latvia as some sort of Eastern European and Russian land, but that's basically a total misconception simply because the U.S.S.R. was occupying the country recently and the whole Eastern Block/Western Block thing. Latvia is Western/Northern European and more tied to Germany/Sweden/Norway, if anything, and really not so much Eastern European and it really had nothing to do with Russia whatsoever. The culture and vibe really was not Russian at all, but much more like Northern Europe or Germany. The alphabet is a modified western (modern Latin) one, not Cyrillic. The language retains more archaic forms than most other Indo-European ones still around.
I mean the U.S.S.R. took control of Latvia for a few decades post WWII since they wanted the nice sea port on the Baltic and all but that was basically the Russian connection, that the lands got taken over and occupied by force for a few decades (1940-1941 and 1945-1991), although the population is about 30% of Slavic decent currently now.
(and getting back to the Seinfeld episode, the whole big thing with the Latvian Orthodox church was 100% totally made up and somewhat ridiculous (granted most things on Seinfeld are ridiculous), yes the Slavic countries were almost all Orthodox or Catholic, but Latvia is not and it's mostly Lutheran and I hate to say it but basically not a single Latvian thing in the episode is even remotely Latvianish at all)
Latvians here substitute for generic Slav. Do not hate! Remember, from the Russian standpoint, all East Europe is Slavic!! (Or should be...)
Also, the 7D is a far more Russian style camera of use. Imagine, Hitler's troops, if cameras were guns (as the Youtube videos seem to show sometimes). They would be using 1DX's and even medium format SLR's. Stalin's men would have had to have slugged it with 7D's, a mixed hand full of Rebels, and sigma and Tamron lenses.

Maybe, we can't all be as happy as this lawyer. But we shouldn't give up on finding happiness in our profession and this week, a couple of bloggers have some suggestions on how to make that happen. First up, Dave Swanner offers a post, Do You Enjoy Practicing Law? where he gives som ideas on how you might change what you don't like about your practice. He suggests reducing the number of cases you handle, working towards making more money or changing the kinds of cases you typically handle. Perhaps all easier said than done, but the point is that you ought to try those approaches before junking your career.
Greatest American Lawyer also has this advice that biglaw attorneys might consider to lift that spirit: Stand out from other firms, don't be a lawyer. "Blow off that mega firm. Jump out of that partnership."
Do any of these work for you?

Hello readers,
Just a quick note to let you know that I off travelling again.
I heading to the US on Saturday to attend the MadWorld conference in San Diego. After the conference I am meeting J in Texas, where we will have a look around Austin and Houston, before we drive into Louisiana for stays in Lafayette and New Orleans. It is then onto (by plane) to Savannah, Georgia and then Charleston, South Carolina.
I know I won't have time to blog while away, so the best way to keep up-to-date as to what I am eating, seeing and doing is to like the Hold the Peas Facebook page, or follow me on Twitter @holdthepeas.

Good morning Panther faithful and welcome to the Monday Morning Optimist. Another week, another loss... that's kind of the modus operandi for the Carolina Panthers in closing out this terrible 2010 season.
The number thirty-one should be a number that haunts the dreams of Panthers' fans this season. Between the mediocre play of cornerback Richard Marshall the Panthers have now lost four games with their opponent scoring 31 points (New York, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Atlanta).
Sunday's game looked much like the rest of the year. Mediocre defense, beyond mediocre offense for much of the game and ultimately too little too late. The Panthers managed to have less than 50 yards total offense in the first half only to roar back with over 200 in the second. It was confusing to say the least, and in the end the total yardage was almost comical: 76 yards passing, 212 yards rushing... just like old times.
Time for some cheers and jeers as we hurtle towards the end of this season. So join me... after the jump
It seems that some of the players have reached their breaking point. After the game Steve Smith apparently took offense that Clausen apologized to Jon Beason for his poor play when he should have apologized to the rest of the offense.
"I'm the last guy to tell anybody to be apologizing, but if you're going to apologize, you know, you should apologize to the people in the huddle with you. But he has a lot to learn. He ain't at Notre Dame anymore, that's for sure."
I love Steve Smith, I really do... but it's times like this that he needs to shut up. Honestly, such actions do nothing to serve the Carolina Panthers football team and if he continues he will become a distraction. Obviously Jimmy Clausen is not playing well, and by apologizing to Jon Beason he's acknowledging that he could play better. Despite that he's still a rookie and it's not like Steve Smith is doing much to help the Panthers either. Even with the offensive line playing badly and the QB not helping him Smith has dropped countless passes this year. So, at some point I think Smitty needs to realize he's in a glass house too.
This iteration of the Carolina Panthers are a bad team, it's as simple as that.
Will they be good in the future? I have no doubt.
Could they be better with the exact same roster provided there were different coaches? I think so.
Regardless though they're just a bad team, any team who is entering week 14 at 1-13 is a bad team. There are numerous problems on both side of the ball and that's not going to change until the season is over. I'm never one to embrace apathy, but perhaps it's time some of the Carolina Panthers realize what this season is- a futile effort. Play hard on Sunday's sure, but it's not worth burning bridges and damaging relationships over one terrible season. This team is young and likely to be together for a long time.
Before we get to the individual rankings there was a comment in the post-game open thread from South Tunnel that perfectly summed up what is occurring with the Panthers:
What's really scary is that we are worse than even the numbers show
Teams are not scared of us, so once they get a decent lead, they are keeping the ball on the ground and not opening up their playbooks. If ATL game planned for us like they did say, New Orleans, then they'd likely annihilate us.
This says it to a T. In other games like Oakland over Denver the Raiders continued to jack up the score and pour on the yards because in the end Denver still had a somewhat intimidating offense that could come back. This isn't the case with Carolina because teams almost go into 'preservation mode' not willing to do anything that could potentially lead to any unnecessary injury. They know that the Panthers can't score, so with a comfortable lead they'll grind clock even with a full quarter to go; it's a sad state of affairs that leads to situations like yesterday where the Falcons weren't so much running up the score, as rubbing it in and humiliating the Panthers however possible with their general demeanor after the play was over.
My only hope is that the next head coach the Panthers get isn't so genteel when it comes to respecting his opponent. John Fox was never one to drive a point home, maybe a new coach will.
In the end we can get mad, hold or breathes, stamp our feet and get mad or we can laugh our way though the last part of this season. Right now it stings, sure... but I look forward when in 5 years and multiple playoff births (and hopefully more) we can look back on 2010 with fondness and chuckle about this terrible year.
Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson- Extremely Optimistic: I've lumped them together today as they become the de-facto 'Double Trouble' while DeAngelo Williams is on IR. Roughly four weeks ago I said in this article that if Mike Goodson continues to perform well then it's going to be a very curious situation to see if the Panthers spend the millions needed to keep Williams. At that time numerous people cautioned me about getting too far ahead of myself (and rightfully so) however now I think the discussion needs to be had. Since Mike Goodson was relied on in Tampa he's added 495 all purpose yards and 3 touchdowns. It's going to be very curious to see if the Panthers decide they can afford to both keep Goodson on the bench, and shell out the millions required to keep DeAngelo Williams.
Charles Johnson and Everette Brown- Extremely Optimsitic: Again, I've decided to look at another pairing. The young defensive ends for the Carolina Panthers are proving to be very effective. I think some people missed it, but the Atlanta Falcons were very scared of Brown in particular who was double teamed on numerous plays on Sunday. It speaks volumes to what the NFL as a whole thinks of him that a division rival would commit two OL to him. Johnson now has 8.5 sacks as a starter, and Brown has 3.5 in extremely limited time. Everette Brown's ability in limited time seems to mirror Johnson in year's past and that is a very good thing considering that despite meciocre DTs Johnson is on pace for a double digit sack season.
Jason Baker- Extremely Optimistic: Realistically he could be the Panthers only pro-bowler this year as he had another stunning day punting. The Todd Sauerbrun days of Pro-Bowl punters are here again!
Captain Munnerlyn- Extremely Optimistic: Keeps making a play to become a starter next year. I still don't feel that Munnerlyn plays on the ball well enough to be a starting CB, but he closes on his man very well and has developed into a player who looks like a threat on punt returns.
Jon Beason- Somewhat Optimistic: Honestly, I was on the fence about this one. Beason's game seemed to echo the Panthers as a whole; extremely lackluster in the first half, but impressive in the second. Regardless though he played well finishing with 8 tackles, 2 for a loss and 2 PDef.. and in the end that's enough to get a slight nod.
Pass Protection- Extremely Pessimistic: Granted, some of this does lie on Jimmy Clausen either not audibling out of clear blitz packages, or not having the awareness to beat the rush but regardless 5 sacks allowed is terrible. Much of this falls on the pass protection. Notice that I didn't say "offensive line" though because they were stout in run blocking... a curious day to be sure.
Jimmy Clausen- Extremely Pessimistic: While there are myriad problems all over this team Clausen isn't doing himself any favors and he knows it: "I think I'm just not being as consistent as I want to be. I'm missing throws here and there – throws I can make [...] And that's just the way it's going right now." I have no doubt Jimmy Clausen will get better in time, but there might not be enough time as the Carolina Panthers' fanbase goes into full blown 'Luck watch' to see if the Stanford quarterback will enter the NFL draft.
Richard Marshall- Extremely Pessimistic: Same old, same old. Marshall's tackles are high because he gets beat a lot. I don't think there is any way he returns next season.
In the end there were more positives than negatives, it's just that the positives were only slight and the negatives were huge. There was also a sea of 'meh' out there on Sunday with a lot of guys looking neither good, nor terrible.
Overall Outlook
One winnable game left from where I sit, next week vs. Arizona. Thanks to Detroit and Buffalo however we appear to be in the driving seat in owning the #1 overall pick. But, winning against Arizona could throw a wrench in that as currently the tiebreaker is thus:
- Carolina: 121-85
- Cincinnati: 120-86
So, with Carolina playing better teams than Cincinnati (just) overall they would get the #1 overall pick. However, this can change drastically in the next couple of weeks so if you don't like the idea of cheering for the Panthers to lose then be sure to cheer loud against Atlanta and Pittsburgh and for Cincinnati to win.
Next week we play Arizona who won a gutsy game today. Much like the Panthers they're a team in turmoil at the QB position, but they are finding ways to win games where we can't.
5% optimistic about the game vs. Arizona.... 90% optimistic about the #1 overall pick

The Daily Five: Disappointing Games Worse Than Super Bowl 48
Almost a week ago, fans the world over watched the Seattle Seahawks emerge triumphant over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. The game was an amazing experience, full of very exciting action… Oh, who are we kidding? The game was an utter disappointment! It was like the Broncos didn't even bother to show up for almost the entire game. The drudging became so bad that Seattle was even able to take star QB Russell Wilson out of the game and put in his backup!
Much like that "Big Game," the gaming industry has released its fair share of disappointing experiences over the years; some that were even more disappointing than Denver's performance Sunday night. While some of these games aren't necessarily horrible, they did not live up to their full potential. Today, we are going to list five such games. This is our list of video games that were more disappointing than Super Bowl XLVIII.
Enter the Matrix
Not so long ago, The Matrix was one of the hottest properties in Hollywood. Fresh off the success of the first film in the trilogy, fans were obsessed with bullet time cameras and the (then) cutting edge special effects. So, when it was announced there would be a video game that tied directly into the sequel, The Matrix Reloaded, fans were estatic. The promises of fast-paced kung fu action, cutscenes featuring the actual stars of the film, and a story that completed what was sure to be one of the best film sequels of all time were enough to bring a smile to every sci-fi nerd's heart. Enter the Matrix was going to be amazing.
Unfortunately, Shiny Entertainment wasn't up to the task. First, people didn't get to play as Morpheus or Neo. We were saddled with playing Niobe and Ghost, two characters that were only introduced in Reloaded. That would have been okay though… if the game hadn't been complete garbage. Buggy controls and graphics were complimented with cutscenes that wouldn't have looked passable back on the Sega CD. Worst of all, none of the actors involved seemed particularly interested in their roles. It felt like they showed up, read their lines, and asked for their paycheck; no emotions were involved. What had once sounded so promising turned into a disappointing tragedy. Although, the movie really wasn't much better.

Undies, panties, thongs, oh my! While I was growing up, they were called underpants, now they are strictly underwear, but ladies, do tell, what do you call what you wear under there? I have a feeling you have some pretty creative terms for your panties!

The word "Panties" is kinda fun and naughty. I think you can call them different things depending on your mood and what you plan to do in them, or out of them.

Gutchies is def a Pittsburgh thing!! My gram always called them that... I dropped "gutchies" once in front of my bf (who is from Philly) and he had no idea what I was talking about... so now it's boyshorts or "undies"...I hate "panties."

Underoos, or rather, "my underoos" if I'm talking about my own. If I'm talking to someone else, it might be underwear. If I'm getting specific, thongs or g-strings. If I was talking to my ex, it was always panties - he liked the word.

I'm not the biggest fan of thongs-- they are soooo uncomfy to me! But I do understand the need for them sometimes. I normally wear boring bikini briefs from Fruit of the Loom, but if I know someone's going to see them, I make sure to wear the cute lacy stuff from Charlotte Russe and other girly stores ;)

Rihanna's blushes at Kutcher quip
12:01pm Thursday 26th April 2012 in Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Rihanna brought a very special guest along to the star-studded Time 100 gala - her mum.
And the Rude Boy singer - who looked stunning in a hot pink satin gown - revealed Monica Braithwaite used the opportunity to make a cheeky jibe about her daughter's rumoured fling with Ashton Kutcher.
Rihanna told Twitter followers: "Well... 2nt consisted of us singing Bob Marley, drinkin Vintage Scotch, and my mom thinkin a joke abt Kutcher was appropriate! #Thxtime100".
The star appeared to have no hard feelings towards her mum, however, tweeting a photo of the pair enjoying a mother-daughter cuddle at the event.
Rihanna sparked rumours she had got together with Two And A Half Men's Ashton after she was snapped leaving his home in the early hours last month.
Other stars snapped at the Time event at New York's Frederick P Rose Hall - celebrating the most influential people in the world - included Tilda Swinton, Tyra Banks, Claire Danes and Kristen Wiig.

Foster The People Remixes Lady Gaga's "Edge Of Glory"
[photogallerylink id=118220]
Dark, intense, overwhelming. Did we say intense? No we aren't talking about [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lady Gaga[/lastfm]'s recent "headless" performance on UK X Factor, but[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Foster The People[/lastfm]'s remix of her song "Edge Of Glory" from her upcoming Born This Way: The Remix album.
Foster The People's remix comes exceptionally hard for almost six minutes, an almost six minutes that leaves us less dance-oriented people gasping for breath from the steady thump of BPM's.
Still, if you are into the heady rush of dance music, the combination of these two amazing pop artists is akin to a woman both beautiful and smart.
Last one and maybe the most important…Tell a beautiful girl she's smart…and a smart girl, she's beautiful.—
Foster The People (@fosterthepeople) November 10, 2011
A slaying but sensational combo.
- What do you think of Foster The People's remix of Lady Gaga's "Marry The Night" ? Let us know in the comments!

Costco in Coon Rapids, Minn. is recalling an undetermined amount of fresh ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said Wednesday the product under recall is 383 units of 88 percent lean fresh ground beef (88/12). It bears the Costco item number 33724 under the Costco label.
The product was sold directly to 342 consumers in Costco at 12547 Riverdale Blvd., Coon Rapids, Minn., between Sept. 4 and Sept. 7.
One patient has been identified in Minnesota with an estimated illness onset date of Sept. 29, 2013. The product was prepared from bull meat and finely ground beef from the Costco Wholesale plant in Tracy, Calif., and bench trim prepared at the Costco Wholesale in Coon Rapids, Minn. The steaks or roasts that were the source of the bench trim may have originated from as many as 16 federally inspected establishments.
Costco customers should check their freezers to ensure the product is thrown away. FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160° F.
FSIS continues to work with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Department of Health on this investigation and will provide updated information as it becomes available.
About 2-8 days after exposure, symptoms include:
Bloody diarrhea
Abdominal cramps
While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Anyone can develop the condition but it is most common in children under 5 and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor and decreased urine output.
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.

I'm sure everyone has different opinions on if they would enjoy having M.Ram on the Angels; I personally think it'd be a worthy risk.
We know of the prolific offense that Manny Ramirez can bring to a relatively starved offense; yet we also know the antics that Ramirez can bring and more than likely the dissolving clubhouse.
If we look at it in terms of putting a team "over top" this would be the most likely situation for any post-season bound team.
Let's say, for example, the Angels and Sox made the trade for Manny - what exactly would be involved in the trade?
1.) Manny would have to waive his no trade clause.
2.) Sox would demand at minimum 2 mlb-ready prospects.
3.) Angels would have to believe that the prospects being given up were not detrimental to the future of the organization.
Well, most people would think Manny would have to have his last two club options picked up to approve a trade - I doubt this for one reason: Vladimir Guerrero. Manny has admitted that he'd love to play with Vlad in the past, I don't see it changing anytime soon.
Yes, the Sox would probably demand 2 if not 3 mlb-ready prospects. Although, what are mlb-ready prospects? Dustin Moseley? Bootcheck? Thompson? Sean Rodriquez? I think all of us can speculate that a deal would probably center around Juan Rivera and Dustin Moseley both going to the Sox. That deal would more than likely make a lot of sense for the Sox to increase their pitching depth while still getting some power out of Rivera.
To get a valuable, although declining, hitter such as Ramirez without having to pickup his 09 and 10 options will be valuable to the Angels since they can let him go next off season, sign or bring up another outfielder and collect the compensation draft picks for him.
The deal would benefit the Angels organization in a variety of ways; is it worth it?

Alison Sweeney Pledges to Help Pets Lose a Million Pounds
May 10, 2011 at 3:02 pm , by Lauren Piro
Alison Sweeney spends a lot of time talking about healthy diet and weight loss (as host of The Biggest Loser and author of The Mommy Diet, it's unavoidable!). But when her vet mentioned that her much-loved Boston terrier Winky was two pounds overweight, she balked.
"I thought, 'Oh, great, she sounds fine,' " Sweeney says. "But then my vet made me realize that when your dog only weighs 20 pounds, two pounds is a lot. I really needed to take it seriously – our dogs count on us to be their owners and take charge."
As America's poster girl for healthy families, Sweeney certainly wasn't going to leave her precious pooch in the lurch. By changing Winky's diet and scheduling regular exercise, Sweeney was able to get Winky back to a healthy weight—and teach her six-year-old son Ben a few lessons to boot.
"I think Ben has learned a lot," she says. "Most importantly, he's seen that our responsibility as a pet owner is to take care of our pets. But also he saw firsthand the simplicity of healthy eating and exercise, and how that helps keep our bodies healthy. I have Ben note on the calendar the days we plan to take Winky for walks, and it's become a big thing we can do as a family."
And Sweeney's not stopping at just her own family. Just last week she kicked off the Million Pound Pledge for pet food Hill's Science Diet, a national campaign to help our chubby man's best friends get healthier and (you guessed it) lose a million pounds. To take the pledge and jump-start your pet's healthier lifestyle go to petfit.com, where you'll also find a bunch of fun interactive tools to track and learn more about Fido's weight loss, and—bonus—some pet food rebates.
"It's a great time to get your pet healthy," Sweeney says—and we agree!

Ask the Trainer: Weight Training For Women
September 14, 2009 at 10:16 am , by jbrown
Before I get to this week's question, I want to thank Bob Harper from the The Biggest Loser for stopping by LHJ HQ on Friday. (That's me and Sally Lee, editor-in-chief of LHJ, with him at the right. Fortunately, we managed to contain our giddiness for the photo…we weren't quite as successful for the rest of his visit.) He came with the Grain Foods Foundation to discuss the importance of getting six servings of grains a day. We chatted about how psyched we are that the carbs-are-evil thing is finally fading away. They're your body's major source of energy and they help you keep your weight in check—just two of their many perks. Click here to enter to win a training session with Bob—trust me, he's just as nice and inspiring in real life as he is on The Biggest Loser (the new season starts tomorrow, woo-hoo!).
Now, for the question: By now I've a heard a million times that I need to incorporate weight training into my workouts. But I have so many questions: Are the weight machines as good as free weights? How many reps do I need to do to see results? Does weight training really help you to lose weight?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As the investigation into the shooting death of 46-year-old Edward Matthews continues, Metro police detectives are still working to identify the man who shot and wounded another homeless man in March and investigating if the two shootings are connected.
Matthews, who was homeless, was found dead on a Church Street park bench in the early morning hours of November 3.
In the early morning hours of March 10, Albanus Kitaka was sleeping along Fifth Avenue North when he said he was kicked and awakened by a man.
Kitaka, who was age 60 at the time, suffered a gunshot wound to the mouth.
He was taken to the hospital and has since recovered.
Similarities between the two cases include the close proximity of the locations, both occurred in the early morning hours and both involved homeless men.
Metro police said Kitaka has related that he believes the person who shot him was a black man.
Homicide-Cold Case detectives are working with Central Precinct officers and investigators to continue interviewing homeless persons about both shootings.
Anyone with information about either case is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.

WSVN -- Eight-year-old Maia Koch is a bundle of energy!
Jai Koch, Mom: "She's very active. She enjoys gymnastics and Jiu Jitsu."
With all those fun activities and school, Maia has a lot of contact with other kids.
Jai Koch: "They touch each other, share mats together, and sometimes they share clothes."
Thanks to all the sharing her mother recently noticed something strange on Maia's skin.
Jai Koch: "I noticed she had what looked like pimples on her chest. Of course, you don't want some weird growth on your child's body."
Maia: "It was weird. It was itchy."
Concerned, she took her daughter to dermatologist Melissa Lazarus who knew right away what Maia had.
Dr. Melissa Lazarus, Board Certified Dermatologist: "After school my office is flooded with children who have Molluscum. Molluscum is a virus that causes a little lesion on the skin, similar to a wart, but is very contagious."
The lesions are usually small, pearly bumps with a dimple or pit in the center. Dr. Lazarus says while molluscum is not dangerous, it can be a problem.
Dr. Melissa Lazarus: "When you have one or two lesions, it's not a big deal, they'll usually go away by themselves. The problem becomes when some kids will itch, and spread them."
If that happens see a doctor right away.
Dr. Melissa Lazarus: "We can destroy them using liquid nitrogen, sometimes we can pop them out, and sometimes we use topical cream to make them go away."
Jai: "The treatment was very simple and pain-free for her."
To keep from getting or spreading the disease there are some precautions you can take.
Dr. Melissa Lazarus: "Covering the skin, so it doesn't get in contact. Letting kids know not to touch it or touch other children. Not sharing towels. Not sharing clothing."
Jai's daughter has gotten the virus several times now. She says the thing to keep in mind it's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Jai: "Once you start talking about it with your friends, then you find out how many children have actually had it."
Dr. Lazarus also suggests using moisturizer on your child's skin every day it creates a barrier on the skin that can prevent molluscum.

We ate one night in an up-charge restaurant, 150 Central Park. Food was good but atmosphere was a little stuffy. Also, our waiter was Turkish and he was a little hard to understand. He did a good job but I think that someone with a better understanding of English would have been more appreciated.
The entertainment was all top notch and the live bands were very good. Don't miss the Karaoke at On Air or all the flash mobs and Zomba in the central part of the ship. The comedy club warns about adult material and they delivered. It was the toughest ticket on the ship and it was hilarious.
The ports were OK. Typical Caribbean Ports where everything is for sale. We have cruised enough that we saw no surprises. The ship has so much happening at all times that we could have just stayed on the ship for the full seven days. The problem I see is for Allure to continue to live up to what we just experienced. This was the best all around cruise we have ever been on.

Miguel Sano's worst fears came true on Saturday morning.
The highly-touted third base prospects has a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament and will need Tommy John surgery. Sano will fly to Minnesota next week to have the surgery.
Sano was injured during Thursday's intrasquad game when he rushed a throw to retire Kurt Suzuki.
The ordeal goes back to the minor league season, when the elbow bothered him while he played for Class AA New Britain. It continued to bother him while he played for Estrellas of the Dominican Winter League, and the decision was made for him to rest for two weeks. He tired to throw after that and still in problems so, during the first week of November, the decision was made to shut him down for the remainder of the winter ball season because of the strained UCL.
...The Twins were careful with Sano in some throwing drills. But he passed all the tests and was given the green light to play. He could go through all the drills he wanted but the real test would come during game action when he would have to make throws from different angels.
It didn't take long for him to be tested, as he had to hurry to make the play on Suzuki.
Tommy John rehab for position players isn't as extensive as pitchers, but indications are that Sano's season could be over.
Thanks to Los.

Miguel Sano's worst fears came true on Saturday morning.
At least Tommy John isn't quite as serious for position players.
Xavier Nady (twice)
Rocco Baldelli had TJS at one point I believe. I think it was around 2008/2009.
He tired to throw after that and still in problems so . . .
What surgery hasn't Rocco Baldelli had?

Perhaps the best offwidth at Devil's Lake. Impossible Crack is the very obvious line on the lefthand pillar of Devil's Doorway when viewed from the East. Start up by making a few face moves to gain the perfect (#2 Camalot) handcrack in the two-foot roof. Surmount the roof and climb offwidth to top, using a few small face holds on the right. Do your best not to stand on any of the ledges that are so close and beckoning...
On Devil's Doorway proper. Easily noticed as the large crack just left of the doorway when viewed from the East.
A couple #2 Camalots and a few #4 and #4.5 Camalots, as well as a set of nuts for the bottom...

We're taking nominations for Hispanic Heritage, Disability Awareness and American Indian Heritage months until May 25, 2014.
Fabiola Navarro, Local Hero & Human Rights Activist
Hispanic Heritage Month 2013 Honoree
- Sept. 13
The world is filled with injustice. All you need do is pick up a newspaper or go online and you'll find a litany of human rights violations—victims of torture and kidnappings, people being sent to prison camps by their own government, women suffering untold abuse at the hands of their husbands or fathers while authorities look the other way, and children being forced into labor and prostitution. Here in San Diego, Chilean-born Fabiola Navarro sees fighting such human rights violations as a life-long cause.
Andrea Skorepa Advocates for San Ysidro
Hispanic Heritage Month 2013 Honoree
- Sept. 13
Andrea Skorepa is a Hispanic Heritage Month Local Hero who lives and breathes San Ysidro – both as a passionate advocate, and as a life-long resident of the town by the border.
Michael A.V. Cruz Has Passion for Mentoring
Hispanic Heritage Month: 2012 Honoree
- Nov. 2
Michael A. V. Cruz is not used to being thanked for the work he does. Being the humble man he is, he's never asked for it nor expected it. Besides, he's not in it for the glory.
Danny Gutierrez Gets a Second Chance
Hispanic Heritage Month: 2012 Honoree
- Sept. 13
It's hard to pinpoint the moment that propelled Danny Gutierrez's life into a spiral of self-destruction. After all, there was no singular instant that set him on a path of joining a gang, breaking the law, using drugs, and causing pain to those around him.
Rachel Ortiz
Hispanic Heritage Month: 2011 Honoree
- Sept. 7
Rachel Ortiz is the founder and director of Barrio Station, a youth program that saves the lives of thousands of troubled young people by offering them alternatives to delinquency.

Ms. Ortiz is a recipient of numerous awards, including the César Chávez Humanitarian Award, California Legislature's Women of the Year and the Aztec Achievement Award.
Richard Nares
Hispanic Heritage Month: 2011 Honoree
- Sept. 7
Richard Nares is the executive director of the Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF), which he founded along with his wife Diane in 2003 after losing their son Emilio to leukemia. Mr. Nares turned the tragic experience into a program that assists children fighting cancer throughout Southern California. Under his direction, the Emilio Nares Foundation serves as a resource center providing various community services including transportation, healthy meals, financial assistance and staffing for two Family Resource Centers at Rady Children's Hospital.
Carolina Ramos
Hispanic Heritage Month: 2010 Honoree

Caption Diss: Chris Bosh Gets A Champion's Champagne Facial
Tuesday, Jun 26, 2012 12:10AM
For Caption Diss, the good ol' folks at SOHH are back at it giving y'all, my loyal doggies, a chance to capture the final word(s). The "Best We've Ever Read" headline gets to hold down that Cap Diss crown for a whole week. Who run it?
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
Leave it up to the one and only Chris Bosh to win a NBA championship and still look more suspect than that Usual flick. LOL. Just to think we thought Mark Madsen was as worse as it got when the Lakers won back in 2001 and 2002 but now with CB? SMH. I can't even call it. Remember when Chris Bosh acted like he was having a heart attack after that 2011 NBA Finals? I thought surely he would be the exact opposite if they won this year. SMH. Doggies, this has to be ten times worse than when they lost last year. No way LeBron James and Dwyane Wade hang out with Bosh after those regular season games. LOL.
LOL @Heartbreak Kid! LOL! In all fairness though, you and @InternetThugzNeedHugz were pretty much both on point. Only Canibus can shoot down his own career the way he did going up against Dizaster in that Pay-Per-View battle. SMH.
Aight doggies, y'all know how funky we keep it up in here! Think 'em, diss 'em, ink 'em and submit 'em into the comments section by Monday, July 2nd!

On Saturday, the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls unveiled a brand new play area.
The 1,400 square-foot play area, located between the Food Court and Sears, is sponsored by Sanford Health. It has five new play pieces, including a rocket ship and a replica of Sanford Children's Hospital Castle of Care.
In addition to the new play pieces, the area will include interactive play panels, games, and a musical keyboard.
The new play area is one of several changes to be unveiled during The Empire's yearlong renovation. Other recent improvements include updated restrooms and the reopening of the east side of the main entrance.
Construction is scheduled to conclude in November.

Fedorov joined us in 2003's summer
Replacing Kariya, who left (what a bummer!)
After the rollback, he was still overpaid,
Now that his skills were starting to fade.
Carlyle and Burke had seen quite enough
Off to Columbus for prospects and such!
I'll admit; I was skeptical about the whole deal
Silly me! How could I miss such a steal?
Before you arrived, I never knew who you were,
Even now that you've been with us, I'm not really sure,
Alas! It's not always easy to see what you bring for us,
Usually 'cause your partner has been Mr. Norris.
Captain Iginla found out your fists are an asset,
Hitting is also! Just ask Andrew Brunette.
Even though we lost to the Oil (boo hoo!)
Mainly the question has been "Sergei WHO?"
I speak for all Duck fans—we're glad that you're here,
Now can you be even better next year?

How to encourage someone to study. In my previous article How to Motivate Yourself to Study, i talked about getting motivated by the means of imagining someone with special needs that for sure do his best not to depend on someone and that have high marks at school, what does this person lack? can't you get such high marks because of being bored of studying? I think knowing that there are special needed students that have a great marks is a great motivation for you.
So you need to encourage somone to study, maybe your son, daughter, your students as a teacher or a friend of yours, this may come by talking to him/her and telling him a real story about a special needed student that have had high marks so he/she can get it too.
More important point to draw the future of someone you like to encourage studying, is to put him/her a vision and help him/her reaching this vision.
You can put someone a vision by several ways, one of the ways to put someone a vision is by knowing what does he want to be in life and explaining for him the good and the bad side of this vision, you can also explain for him other visions and the bad and the good things about them, this way you will give him the freedom to choose for several visions to choose the best that suits him.
For example, a father and his 10 years old son where living in a foreign country, his son wanted to join the police acadamy which in this country can't be done because it doesn't accept foriegn nationality to join police academy, so his father thought why do his son wanted to join the police? he asked his son, and he understood from him that he like authority and power, and by simply knowing this he convinced him that lawyers have more authority and power than police so the son liked the idea and decided to join the law college which in this foriegn country any nationality can join it, and this way he changed his vision from a non-achievable one to a one that can be achieved.

3.48/5 rDev +4.5%
Found this green 33cl bottle in a Moscow supermarket. The label depicts two men and a women harvesting a huge field of cannabis plants, with hills in the background. I lived in Switzerland for three years, and never saw such a product, so had to try it. Ingredients include extract of hemp flowers and leaves. Best before 10/12/04, I opened it on 8/25/04.
Pours a hazy light gold under a fairly creamy one finger white head that lingers well and leaves some nice lacing. The nose has a definite flowery sweet note, with a touch of lime. The mouth is heavily carbonated and a tad too light. The taste reminds me of a fermented fresca or sprite: definite malt tones, but the dominant impression is lime sweet and very fizzy. There is no hops profile at all, but the aftertaste is almost chewy with the grain and leafiness. This is one of the better hemp brews - quite drinkable.

Pours nice golden with dense white head that fades to dense white layer and full of small carbonation bubbles. Aroma is amazing, the best I have felt in hemp beer, it feels like lingering next to coffee shop entrance in the Netherlands.
Taste is significantly milder hemp malt with herbal bitterness in the finish and light sweetish aftertaste with hints of hemp. Mouthfeel is light-medium with below medium carbonation.
Overall, the flavour was average, but I enjoyed the aroma immensely.

3.05/5 rDev -8.4%
Brought back by a friend who travelled to Switzerland.
Appearance: Opaque and golden peach, the head was silken and bubbly.
Smell: Ever been to those head shops that sell "tobacco pipes" and overpriced Bob Marley tie-dye t-shirts? The lingering odor in those stores is exactly what you'll experience after one whiff of this Beer. Pungent, resinous hemp aroma, it's spicy and peppery like patchouli incence. To quote the Simpsons: "It smells like Otto's jacket". Finally, a hemp Beer that actually smells like the real McCoy.
Taste: Soft carbonation, taste is very herbal and sticks to your palate long after your first sip, but is a little lacking in body as it goes down, it could really use some malt to balance out the shrubs. Not bad for a novelty Beer, I'm sure most potheads will enjoy but nothing very spectacular.

not sure what to say about this brew .... Although I appreciate the effort by the brewer, I cannot approve the result .... but then again this is my very first 'hemp beer', so I don't know if it should actually taste like this .... if this one is typical for the style, then I don't mind missing all the other samples ...
ah, the taste? difficult to describe, dominated by licorice but backed by something like a very nasty pharmaceutical drug ... btw the smell is as awful as the taste ...

Thanks to the parents for bringing this one back from Drinks of the World in Luzern. Split between family members at a hotel using less than perfect glassware (or paperware). Still, on to the review!
A - Slightly hazy rich straw colored body topped by a bone white head with great retention.
S - Holy crap, this takes me back to camping, it smells like rope! Scratchy, scratchy, usefull hemp rope! Some nice spicy notes lay underneath the expressive hemp aroma, but almost no malt aroma.
T- Faint lemony flavor appears backed by an even fainter dry malt presence. Curious if this has some wheat malt... The hemp again shows up in the finish, with that nice expressive hemp spiciness, with very little bitterness to get in the way.
M - This beer is lightly carbonated, which works well with the soft flavors of the beer. The Body is also on the ligher side, but again it seems to make sense with the rest of the beer.
D - One could say this beer is a one trick pony, as this could be seen as a light beer with a flavoring gimick. I have to say though I think this was really well thought out. The hemp is not an overpowering spice, and the beer is made to make the most of it. The light tartness of the malt and the lack of hops allow the hemp to highlight the beer, without creatinga mess. Also, this beer seems to scream for seafood, or some nice chicken and thyme. Well crafted.

Purchased at the Appenzell store. Swing top 58 cl bottle. Light carbonation, more yellow than gold and a small wisp of a head that faded quickly leaving very small traces of lacing.
Taste up front was nice and smooth due to lack of carbonated sting on the tongue. First taste of unsalted cashew or pine nuts, quite dry and no hint of that slight sweetness of other beers from this brewery. Mouthfeel was warm and mild, yet nutty and fairly interesting. The finish was lightly hopped and pleasant. The label says that hemp was once used to flavor beer. Hemp, is there anything it can not do?

A: Slightly hazy yellow color with a foamy white head and good retention.
S: A trace hemp aroma underlying a mild spicy note
T: Taste is slightly herbal at first. There is no hops component but a slight grassy aftertaste.
M: Warm and light with soft carbonation
O: Quite drinkable novelty beer. Great Aroma,

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
How r the passes so soft in profesional paintings?For ex. on a face painting, from the edges to center of cheeks-from dark to light-there are soft passes but 3 or more different colors..What is the secret?Brushes?Smudge?Blur?Opacity value or edge value of brushes?..........
Then that:
Made with "blur tool".Not enough realistic effect u see...
I didn't gave it up and tried different smudges, sponge, blur, duplicate layer etc..Then i finished as that:
This is nice i think..But i do not know if i can do this on bigger works, or everytime..I want to learn the exactly right technique of this.Soft passes after first coloring.Aspecially on human faces.Can one give a tutorial that showes like "we give red color with brush opacity %70 ,then orange at it and yellow last..Then we use smudge as..." Something like that i mean.Or a video tutorial.
Do i want too much?
I could never find the best setting in PhotoShop for the brushes until after the workshop. Most of the artists I saw set their brushes to 100% opacity, 75% flow and both set to pen pressure.
I just use a round brush with around 85% hardness and 20% spacing, don't go crazy low on the spacing thinking it will give you a smoother line. You want to have that spacing so your computer won't choke and so you can blend.
I posted my Photoshop brushes and setting in my sketchbook thread.
good luck!

Death and taxes: They are the two certainties in life.
But can a tax actually help prevent death?
A new study says raising the price of a calorie for home consumption by 10 percent could lower the percentage of body fat in youths by 8 or 9 percent.
The study was done by the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a new report in the Washington Post says doctors are now asking for taxes on alcohol, tobacco, sugar and fat.
Some call it a "sin tax."
Experts feel our nation's obesity problem and other bad habits could be an economic cure for the country. Several doctors with the Mayo Clinic are asking for the taxes, saying it will lead people to cut back and improve public health.
Some would also like this to include fatty foods – like raising the price on fast food and other junk foods.
According to the research, experts are blaming the country's obesity problems on the low cost of food. The study indicates a poor economy leads people to buy cheaper food, and the cheaper foods tend to be unhealthy.
Experts say there's a couple ways to look at it: Maybe a fat tax, sugar tax or calories tax. One professor said a calorie tax would be the most direct way of taxing obesity.
The doctors in favor of the new taxes say there are several reasons to support it. Money is the big one.
If people want to pay to eat, the extra money will help our struggling economy.
But it also could cause lifestyle changes. People who don't want to pay to eat the fatty foods could ultimately change their eating habits.

Writer and journalist Barrett Brown has been charged by the U.S. attorney with conspiracy to reveal private information about a government employee, Internet threats and retaliation against a federal investigator.
Mr. Brown, who has sometimes been referred to as a spokesman for Anonymous, was arrested on September 12 at his Dallas-area home after he posted a series of bizarre and rambling videos on YouTube titled, "Why I'm Going to Destroy FBI Agent Robert Smith."
In one of the videos Mr. Brown, whose mood appeared to change from relaxed to enraged from one moment to the next, made direct threats against Agent Smith and implied he would investigate the agent's children.
Brown was taken in by Dallas Pd & turned over to the Feds the next day.
Back in mid-September The Daily Dot published the full video of the TinyChat session during which Barrett Brown was arrested by the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, as well as a link to the Pastebin transcript of the event. He was picked up by the FBI the next day: Read More
It seems the government of New Zealand may have gotten more than it bargained for with that bonkers raid on Kim Dotcom's compound. The whole incident, which should have been a simple wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am extraction and extradition, has metastasized into a endless headache over the most banal of legalities.
For instance: It appears that Mr. Dotcom, despite his legal residency, was unlawfully spied upon by the nation's Government Communications and Security Bureau. The cops told them it was okay, and rather than doing a little independent verification, they proceeded accordingly.
Consequently, the Prime Minister has personally apologized to Mr. Dotcom. Via Read More
