May 30, 2012 – GCL is Talking NBA Fashion (and the not-so-fashionable)
The NBA Playoffs are down to the Final Four & after the first game in each conference, there is no doubt that the drama & storylines will continue to grow over the next 7-10 days. The GCL crew is definitely going to breakdown the on-court displays, which have been excellent, BUT we're also going to go all in on what these fellas are wearing to/from the arena and to the postgame press conferences.

May 23, 2012 – Game Changers Live talking NBA Playoffs and "I'll Have Another"
The 2nd round of the NBA playoffs have been quite entertaining. The GCL Crew will break down the playoffs, discuss the future of the Lakers, assess the damage done in Orlando in lieu of the Dwight Howard/Stan van Gundy mess, and more.
Tune in at 1:00pm ET!
May 16, 2012 – GCL Special Guest Dr. David Leonard on his book "After Artest"
Everybody remembers watching the replays of the brawl that later become known as the "Malice at the Palace" as Metta World Peace (the artist formerly known as Ron Artest) jumped into the stands after a fan threw water on him.
The unspoken narrative that has resulted from that fight has been an increasing penchant for media & fans to stereotype athletes (black athletes in particular) as thugs & criminals.
Dr. David J Leonard joins Game Changers Live to discuss his book "After Artest: The NBA and the Assault on Blackness", which explores how the NBA look to govern the behavior of their black players after the Palace brawl.
Dr. Leonard is Associate Professor of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies at Washington State University and the author of Screens Fade to Black: Contemporary African American Cinema. He is also the coeditor (with C. Richard King) of Commodified and Criminalized: New Racism and African Americans in Contemporary Sports and of Visual Economies of/in Motion: Sport and Film.
GCL hosts will also discuss & debate the Miami Heat's chances to make it past the 2nd round now that they are down to the Big 2 and the Heatles. Is San Antonio a team that will ever get respect?
We cover the NBA & more on today's episode of Game Changers Live!
May 9, 2012 – GCL Special Guest Bomani Jones from SBNation.com
It's been tough. Fans are still reeling over the death of Junior Seau, beloved former NFL star. Over the past few weeks, we have seen more crutches and carts during pro hoops playoffs than ever before. The NBA has many top players benched with injuries – could it have been avoided? But there were good stories, too. The Thunder players are growing up before our very eyes. Baseball is hot with new stars!
Bomani Jones, the well known sports journalist and contributor for SBNation.com, joins us to make sense of the past few weeks in the sports world. For years, he has written on sports, music, culture and politics — including three years as contributor and columnist for ESPN.com's Page 2 — Bomani has been an on-air personality since January 2008 and joined The Score in 2010. While with The Score, he also contributes weekly two-minute videos found on TheScore.com and aired on The Score Television Network in Canada. Bomani is also a regular panelist on ESPN's "Around the Horn" and "Jim Rome is Burning."
Bomani has been featured on several television programs, including a documentary Michael Jackson broadcast all over the world. In 2008, he was prominently featured in "The Battle for Tobacco Road: Duke vs. Carolina," an HBO Sports documentary. Bomani also has served as an adjunct professor at Elon University and Duke University. Bomani currently resides in Durham, NC.
May 2, 2012 – GCL Special Guests Dr. Jill Brooks (Head to Head Consultants) and Eric Macramalla (Attorney) on Concussions in Sports
In the wake of the recent BountyGate scandal, we now hear that over 50 former NFL players have filed lawsuits with the National Football League (a total of 659 such lawsuits for injury & concussions). Game Changers Live addresses the topic head on as we are joined by two experts who focus on the current state & future impact of concussions in athletics.
Our panel includes Dr. Jill Brooks & attorney Eric Macramalla (@EricOnSportsLaw). Dr. Brooks, a clinical neuropsychologist who runs Head to Head Consultants, has conducted extensive research on this topic, which has been presented at numerous conferences across the country. She recently produced the documentary "The Female Athlete and Concussion" for The Big Ten Network.
Eric Macramalla, an attorney for Gowlings Lafleur Henderson in Ottawa, focuses on the legal aspects of concussions in the NHL & NFL.
An alarming number of former athletes in the NHL, NFL, and throughout college athletics have committed suicide after pointing to problems they attribute to concussion-related brain damage. Changes are imminent & Game Changers Live looks forward to discusses this frightening subject.
We'll also cover the NBA Playoffs, LeBron's mouthpiece, Derrick Rose's injury, Pujols' struggles, and more throughout the show!
If you have questions for our guests, call the show at (347) 215-6813.
Join us Wednesday, May 2nd at 1:00pm ET!

4.22/5 rDev +7.7%
A-A nice burnt golden body with prominent white head.
S-Great tropical fruit/ hoppy smell. Hints of Grapefruit and papaya.
T-Really amazing hop flavor. Nice smooth citruis taste at first taste, then a giant hop bite that will stay with you for hours. Really amazing.
M-Medium body with high carbonation.
O-Really a wonderful beer. One of my favorite Swampheads. I hope the start having it more available. Awesome stuff.

A tropical pale ale poured into a pint glass
A: Beautiful creamy, frothy head. Thick then fades after several minutes to sticky reside like a dense spiderweb. Body a light golden color, completely transparent. Best legs I have ever seen, now the glass is nearly empty; heavy thick rings left after each sip.
S: I get the "tropical" part of style title. Earthly hops with a pungent aroma of green fruit like an apple. Dominant sweet sugars in the undertones from malts. Smells like a watermelon jollyrancher.
T: Crisp, traditional taste for a pale ale. Wonderful transition of sweet sugary malts to fruity hop that blend together at the back end.
M: Slippery on the roof of mouth. Beer stays together like a wet, sticky feeling compared to falling apart to a bubbly carbonation on the back end splash.
O: Similar to Sierra Nevada PA in the sense it is true to style; fresh, strong hop taste without trying to be an IPA. Very drinkable and well-balanced. Swamp Head is an incredible brewery. This is Stump Knocker taken to a whole another level.

3.78/5 rDev -3.6%
Half finger head on a hazy deep gold with amber hue body. Some lacing. Aroma is mostly hops and citrus. Flavor is a mildly complex hop character and nice malt backbone. This is a nice drinkable pale ale. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Overall, a nice pale ale but not memorable.

The Bonzo Birthday Bash, Celebrating What Would Have Been John Henry Bonham's 65th
Oh my Thunder of the Gods, the "Bonzo Bash" sounds like the coolest event in the world today. The Tony Batman's A Entertainment News grew up on Led Zeppelin and we still listen to this day….. Read All about the Bonzo Bash celebrating the would be 65th birthday of John Henry Bonham Below
Amityville NY – Tony Batman's A Entertainment News- Brian Thomas Tichy and his partner Joe Sutton have decided to bring their John Bonham celebration, "Bonzo Bash", to Long Island commemorating the life of rock's ultimate drummer – the drummer for Led Zeppelin, John Bonham. The show has been booked for Friday May 31st at Revolution 140 Merrick Rd in Amityville to pay tribute to John Henry Bonham on what would have been his 65th birthday.
Since the first epic/never done before Bonzo Bash ("The Groove Remains The Same") on September 25, 2010, which brought 18 of the world's best drummers together on one drum kit in West Hollywood, Tichy and Sutton have done a total of five Bonzo Bashes, with each one gaining more momentum and much-deserved attention. With a list that is far too long to include here, it should be noted that 50 drummers and 30 guests have performed over 100 songs through the course of these marathon shows! The last Bonzo Bash, on January 24, the most-talked-about show at the NAMM music convention, sold out and a second night could have been added! 30 drummers played with a total of 52 performers over the course of 5 hours!
Tichy said: "I had this idea back in 2010 when one day it occurred to me that John Bonham and LED ZEPPELIN were the only band I had never stopped listening to for over 30 years. The idea literally came to me in that instant. I was going to go for a backyard party or a kegger in a rehearsal room, but then figured if all these drummers actually get together and make it a "thing," it should be made available for people to see so I talked to promoter Joe Sutton, a Zep Head himself, who happened to have the exact night on hold at Key Club and that was that!
"The concept is simple: each drummer chooses his or her favorite LED ZEPPELIN song and plays it on an amber acrylic drum kit with house band THE MOBY DICKS. This coming together of the world's best drummers also brings with it an undeniable, communal spirit that is very hard to find at any other type of rock show. We all have a great time as it's all about celebrating the amazing drumming of John Bonham and his timeless impact. The energy is thick, the egoless vibes prevail and we all walk away with great memories! I've never seen so many smiling faces at a rock show!
"People constantly ask for us to take this juggernaut on the road but in theory, it's not unlike a river crossing of wildebeests during migration season! But, by going to a city like New York with my home state New Jersey next door and inviting the best drummers in the area, it became apparent that we may be able to pull this off after all!
"So, grab a couple tickets and get dazzled by a great house band and one of the most unique shows you'll ever see featuring some of the world's best drummers around!"

I have been thinking of pain lately. The pointlessness of it. The inevitability of it. Why some people court it and others shun it. Some hide it and others hide from it. Some people gather painful moments like they were spring flowers. Their life is defined by pain, what it did to them, will do to them, is doing to them. They cannot stop talking about the hurts, the wounds, the scars. What would happen if they all disappeared? They cannot imagine their souls whole. They cannot imagine themselves without their injuries because somehow for them their pain is their power. Their weapon against the world. The stick they can beat everyone with. Even the ones who love them.
And then there was Jagjit Singh who lost a young son in a freak accident, watched his wife become a mute shadow of the beautiful woman she was and then somehow learnt to align his soul to the thrum of the tanpura, dug deep into his pain, sang deeper, of God, of loss, mysticism, even love, even hope and in a way told us, "Whatever it is..get over it..get through it..dhoop mein niklo..ghataon mein naha kar dekho."
Not all of us have the gift he had. Of music in the veins, a love for the integrity of the written word, the ability to sense the emotion behind each phrase, the ability to communicate what the poet was feeling when he was writing, "aawazon ke baazaron mein khamoshi pehchaane kaun." But all of us have something. That we can use to go beyond our pain. What pain does is to burn away the inessentials and then it becomes fuel that we can either use to burn ourselves or to light up our lives and of those around us and in our life. Jagjit Singh could not have used up all his pain. There was too much of it. But he did not use the pain in his life to waste his gift. He did not grow walls to shut himself in. He gave us the best part of himself, he gave breaks to new poets, young voice talents, did countless concerts for charity.
Nothing ever came easy to him. While researching his life for a radio show, I learnt how when he came to Bombay in the 60s, powerful men from the film industry would invite him to their homes to sing for free in exchange of the hope that one day they would give him a break. They never did. He decided then to turn to ghazal. And liberated it from limitations of classicism without diluting it and brought it into middle-class homes. Not that things got easier. He would compose jingles to get by. He was once taken abroad to sing at a wedding in exchange for food and lodging. He stayed as a struggler in a room that had a metal cot and rats for company. Yet when he made it big, he did not let money become more important than his love for music. He composed the by now legendary music of Saath Saath for almost free, even paying the recording fees because the small budget film could not afford them. He helped people because no one had helped him when he was struggling. He created an alternate industry to rival film music. An industry that brought into focus, poets, instrumentalists and sound engineers we would have been too lazy to discover. In these commerce and profit driven times when even big producers resent giving royalty to lyricists, he made it a point to pay lyricists a part of his earnings. One man did all this. Just one.
It all began for him one night at a college in Sriganganagar, when as an unknown young talent he sang before 4,000 people. And then the power went off and there was utter darkness. The battery-operated sound system remained live. He kept singing. There was no sound. No movement. People kept listening and his life was a bit like this too. When the darkness fell, he kept singing, not waiting for light to come back. Using his own voice to fill up a void within himself and in us.

The Hawthorne Players, now in their 68th year, are currently staging a somewhat uneven production of "The Secret Garden" at the Florissant Civic Center Theatre.
The Fox was a rockin' recently with three performances of the US touring production of "Rock of Ages." Rather than having anything to do with the Christian hymn of the same name, this extravaganza of 80's rock standards had the audience playing air drums and air guitars throughout the house.
What if you were foolish, and yet thought you were smart? Now extend that to everyone you know, all laboring under same delusion. Add music, color, costume, and a talented cast, and you have the world of "Shlemiel the First."
With barely a word spoken, "Les Miserables" is closer to operetta than splashy musical. The Broadway musical and the movie are based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel about poverty, death, injustice and orphans who would become so famous.
A Gnome for Christmas (Written by Sarah Brandt, Directed by Doug Finlayson) is a Holiday musical now being presented by the Imaginary Theatre Company, the resident, professional, touring ensemble of The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.
The story of Anne Frank is one known the world over. A young girl and her older sister and parents, and four others, escaped the Nazi persecution of the Jews by hiding in the attic of an office building (Anne's "Secret Annex") in Amsterdam for slightly more than two years before being captured and sent to various concentration camps where all but one (perhaps two) of them died.
The St. Louis MUNY's 94th season has opened fresh and bright in many theatrical aspects with the energetic Thoroughly Modern Millie. The stage musical was based on a 1968 film musical of the same name, but with a lot of the plot and music replaced. It won the TONY for Best Musical in 2002.
The Washington University Ovations Series continued its 2011–2012 offerings with a performance by The Water Coolers, a company based in New York.
A creature was found living in a cave "many miles to the South" near the West Virginian coal-mining town of Hope Falls.
I've never seen the musical Avenue Q before, nor read a review. Having seen it now, however, as performed by the [Insert Name Here] theatre company, I can just imagine some of the witty phrases that might, in the past, have been used in reviews, based on its life-size puppets and obvious ties to Sesame Street and Jim Henson's Muppets. I would guess its themes of racism ("Everyone's a Little Bit Racist"), sexual preference ("If You Were Gay"), on-stage puppet, um, physical encounters ("You Can be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love)"), online porn ("The Internet is for Porn"), and females of questionable morals, among others, would no doubt have engendered a load of double-entendres and naughty plays on words. My timid contribution is the title of this review.

`CDMA growth faces challenges'
Thomas K Thomas
"The share of CDMA subscribers in India would drop to 7 per cent by 2010, while that of GSM would grow from 75 per cent at present to 93 per cent.''
New Delhi , July 21
The popularity of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology based mobile services in the country seems to be weakening with analysts predicting that the net subscriber base of CDMA may start dwindling beginning next year. According to a report on the Indian telecom sector by global consultant Credit Suisse, the share of CDMA subscribers in the Indian market will come down to seven per cent by 2010 while that of GSM will grow from 75 per cent at present to 93 per cent. The report also said that the ecosystem for GSM operators was much better than CDMA operators.
CDMA Network
"Clear development within the Indian market appears to be that the market share of subscribers GSM takes looks set only to rise. Indeed, year-to-date GSM seems to have taken some 76 per cent of net additional subscribers," Credit Suisse said. The report points out that GSM handsets were cheaper and in a price sensitive market such as India, a cost difference of Rs 500 matters. It also said that absence of SIM cards for CDMA users was also making it unpopular.
"We assume that in essence after 2007, Reliance pursues incremental growth in India through the GSM track. This would suggest that apart from Tata, there is no other significant nationwide Indian CDMA network, although Bharti and BSNL hold CDMA networks. While this may seem to be an extreme conjecture, currently we notice that in China, despite significant investment, CDMA accounts for only eight per cent of the subscriber base," the report said. It also said that spectrum constraints were also hindering the growth of CDMA services in the country.
Another report by Morgan Stanley said that in the long-term, CDMA faced a number of challenges in the international scenario as well with key operators and vendors pulling out of the technology.
"SK Telecom and KT Freetel, who collectively represent about 10 per cent of CDMA subscribers in the world are not likely to migrate to CDMA2000 1x Release A. Their actions could damage the economies of scale for the remaining CDMA carriers in the world. VIVO, the fourth largest CDMA carrier in the world in one of the key emerging markets, Brazil, has openly discussed the potential of migrating to the GSM roadmap," said the Morgan Stanley report.

3) Rape incidents where Police kids/ Police themselves involved
4) Bribe in education system on camera. Patan rape case. Most education colleges with Trustees who are current / past politicians. State of Education in Gujarat is a mess

6) Fake Vibrant Gujarat investment and employment numbers while on ground reality more and more educated Gujarati graduates are jobless.
7) Dictator Raj of Guj Govt where those who raise voices/protest on social issues are charged by Police and imprisoned. Democracy is at risk
8) Environment issues are ignored and people like Tatas and Adanis are given free hand to run environment havoc in Gujarat
9) Black Money in Real Estate sector with builders asking as much as 60% in cash. Lot of it goes all the way up to the Netas. This has made housing unaffordable by middle and upper middle class

Christmas Tradition: 2 Brothers Sit On Santa's Lap For 34 Years
Although holiday traditions change as we get older, add on to our families, or get separated by distance, most of us have some that we try to keep alive. Whether it's a special recipe that is passed down for years, a certain place where everyone gathers, or decorations that make it feel like the holiday season. For these two brothers, sitting on Santa's lap is a tradition that never slipped away. For the past 34 years they have sat on Santa's lap, showing the progression of fashion, or lack thereof, through the decades, transitioning through the awkward years, and growing families to start the tradition all over again.

Totally Rad: Photographing Malls Across America (in 1989)
In 1989 Michael Galinsky set out driving across the country from Long Island, to North Dakota, and Washington State beyond. His mission? Documenting the malls of America as he went. His series is a time capsule from a transitioning country, where downtown districts continued to lose popularity and the "big box" malls became social and consumer hubs. Here teens roam with matching mullets, the elderly enjoy cigarettes inside, and 'stonewash' jeans had elastic at the bottom. [Read more...]

There are radical frequencies in sound, extremes in color, and visualization of heat. But, what about visual perception of emotion or the intensity of a moment? What would the energy have looked like at Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech? Or at your birthday party as you were blowing out the candles? Painter Hannah Dansie explores these ideas in her surreal artwork which captures a mysterious energy that seems to transcend space and time. The simple but powerful images repeatedly present the same 'sixth sense' without explanation. The suspense of mystery keeps you flipping through image after image hopelessly searching for clues as to the origin of the colorful explosions. The geometric bursts appear to be a visual representation of accumulated energy that stems from every emotion that has ever been, or will ever be, connected to that single instant. [Read more...]
Realistic Street Scenes Created Using Model Cars, Forced-Perspective and a $250 Point & Shoot Camera
Some guys never grow up. For example, I can't walk by a Hot Wheels toy car display without coveting those tiny 4-wheeled machines – something about my youthful car lust comes back to me. Michael Paul Smith is doing something about it though. This model maker, collector and photographer has been creating inspired forced perspective shots using his small-scale vintage cars, making them look as real as a movie set – or reality for those who remember.

BMD Design Serves Up Tasty Retro Typography
With an aged patina of motor oil and the healthy scent of flaming exhaust wafting through the air, BMD Design out of Bordeaux France has some vintage influenced designs that will get any motorhead or rummage sale enthusiasts mouth drooling. Forget about digital perfection, this is the hand-made, home-spun article and the rubbed off paint is there to prove it. BMD has made a name for itself with old-school iconography and well organized flourishes of typography… it's a style often attempted but rarely executed with such deft skill. [Read more...]
Vintage Magazines Made into Surreal Collages

He began collecting everything from TIME, to National Geographic and LIFE Magazine – and at one point, he decided to create his own form of surreal pop art collages with his extensive collection.

Southern California Dwellings from 1979-81
When Tim Bradley moved to California from the midwest in the 70s, he found the state amusing. One aspect he found comical was the architecture of living spaces in Southern California. In the most populated region of the United States, the Los Angeles area has many unique buildings spread across its natural desert landscape. Bradley picked up his camera and went to work.

Julien Pacaud Welcomes You to the Future, Yesterday!
Taking his digital scalpel and slicing into the past, French artist/illustrator Julien Pacaud rearranges history in what can be simultaneously realistic and surreal terms. His work, full of retro characters from the 20th century, sees our world remixed into technicolor landscapes on a grand scale of time and measurement. Here is a place where our past utopian dreams are played out in farcical fashion, laying open the soul of our society and cleverly pointing out our strengths and shortcomings. [Read more...]

Now that Baltimore's debut Grand Prix is just days away, the trash talk is revving up by the hour. And that's not counting the race car drivers.
Nope, the motormouths trading good-natured insults are the fans who will watch the races up close and personal in the grandstands, and the fans who will view the proceedings from the air-conditioned comfort of a luxury penthouse suite.
"You can tell the people in the penthouses that we'll wave up at them from the pits," says Lori Moore, 39, of Parkville.
"I want to be down in the thick of it. I want to wear earplugs and be screaming at people. I want to smell the engines and cheer and boo and feel the cars drive past you. Watching the race from the 23rd floor would be no different from watching it on television. They can stay clean and enjoy their cocktails."
Race organizers estimate the three-day attendance for the inaugural event at between 100,000 and 200,000, and say it could generate about $70 million in economic impact.
The Grand Prix is expected to appeal to a wide swathe of racing enthusiasts. A fan who can afford to pledge $50,000 to rent out the Maryland Science Center for the weekend will descend on the Inner Harbor alongside a fan for whom a $65 ticket for a reserved seat in the grandstands is a special-occasion splurge.
On Saturday, the Moores will be sharing approximately the same city block as developer Edward St. John, who is renting a small flotilla to ferry about 600 guests to the science center, complete with on-board historians to point out local landmarks.
And, it's fair to say that the two viewing experiences couldn't be more different.
Jerry Wit, a senior vice president at St. John's firm, St. John Properties, likened the experience to those of Baltimore Ravens fans who watch the game from the stands and those who view the on-field action from the skybox.
"Personally, having sat once in the skybox, I will always sit in the skybox," Wit said. "Once you've had that experience, you can't go back."
He began to tick off the advantages of the science center location.
"We'll have air conditioning. We can bring in hot food and drinks. And when our guests get tired of watching the race, they can screen an Imax movie featuring Mario Andretti."
Then he added the piece de resistance:
"We'll even have flush toilets."
Tim Smith of Westminster thinks it's a sad state of affairs if the machinery that most excites the science center guests is the plumbing.
Smith, the finance and insurance manager for Bob's BMW Motorcycles in Jessup, has loved race cars ever since he first toddled away from his stroller while visiting his grandfather outside Philadelphia. A next-door neighbor raced on a quarter-mile dirt track on Pennsylvania's Grandview Speedway, and as a treat, he sometimes allowed the little boy to touch his car.
"A good grandstand ticket is better than any corporate suite can be," Smith said. "If you're on the 26th floor, how are you going to get a glimpse of Danica Patrick?"
Smith will make his way down to the Inner Harbor by 6 a.m. Friday, and stay long enough to run in the 5K race at 7 p.m. being sponsored by the Grand Prix. He'll return on Sunday with his wife and young son, and can't wait to see the look on 2-year-old Lane's face when the first race car roars down Light Street at upward of 170 miles an hour.
"It wouldn't be the same," Smith said, "if he had to look through a plate glass window."
Baltimore Grand Prix viewing will be both loud and luxurious
Fans can choose to watch the races feet from shrieking Indy cars or high above at elegant parties

We know what our customers want. We've known for years. We don't need to keep asking them because the answer is the same.
We know what to do to make customer service better. We've known that for years, too, because we've listened to and watched our customers.
So why do 79% of the respondents to RightNow's recent customer service surveysay government could provide better customer service? Because better customer service means challenging the ways we've been doing business in government for decades, the culture of distance, and the people who haven't acquired the vision of great customer service. It means working together to bulldoze old processes and organizations and build sleeker, better, customer-centered services.
It means showing the courage to do what we know we need to do.
Let's recap what we know.
What do customers want? To complete a task. Solve a problem. Get an answer. Do something.
What do customers hate? Waiting, wasting time. Feeling stupid. Can't understand what they read. Don't know what questions to ask. Feeling like they're being treated unfairly or singled out. Feeling like they don't matter, that you don't care. Getting half an answer or a wrong answer. Feeling like you don't understand them and what they want. Being treated impersonally - can't talk to a real person.
What do we need to do to improve customer service on the web? Help our customers complete their tasks, solve their problems, get their answers, and do what they want to do.
RightNow's report is well worth a read. More evidence of what we already know: we need to put services customers care about online so they can find them and use them quickly, easily, and effectively.
We know what customers want. Let's band together, tackle those challenges, and show customers we have the courage to do what we know we need to do.

The Atlanta Falcons had one of their best years in franchise history in 2012. Going 13-3 with their first playoff win under Mike Smith and Matt Ryan, was a huge weight off their shoulders. Ryan said throughout the end of the season and playoffs that their goal wasn't just a playoff win, but a Super Bowl ring. They came up short with a narrow loss to the 49ers in the NFC Championship game.
Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta's Tight End, was an enormous factor in their success this season. He led the Falcons with 93 receptions for 930 yards and 8 touchdowns…no signs of decline from the vet there. Despite all of his success, Gonzalez claims he is 95% sure it was his last season in a uniform. Mike Smith and company are clinging onto that other 5%. Atlanta linebacker, Sean Weatherspoon, believes Gonzalez is coming back. He said that if the Falcons had a bad year, it'd be a lot easier to go into retirement. I think Sean's right. How do you step away from a team with all the talent in the world and on the verge of a Lombardi Trophy?
The Falcons' GM, Thomas Dimitroff, also is working hard on trying to get Gonzalez to stay. There's no set deadline for TG to make his decision, but obviously, the sooner they know the answer, the sooner they can move forward. We'll see what the future hall of famer decides. It's a long offseason of training camp and practices…but if they end up in the Meadowlands for the Super Bowl in 2014, it's more than worth it.

ballistospore, in fungi, a spore forcibly propelled from its site. The basidiospores of the mushrooms, produced on the gills and on the walls of the spores, are ballistospores. They are shot a very short distance from the vertical walls of the fruiting structure and then drift down. In other fungi, including certain slime molds, they are propelled in other directions by various mechanisms and are sometimes projected a considerable distance from the fruiting structure.

NEW BEER RULE #8: Always take beer more seriously than yourself.
This needs little explanation.
But to be clear, this is a beer rule. Not a life or work rule. The alternative version goes like this: Ask yourself if it's the beer you are taking too seriously or yourself.
The rule popped into my mind not long after I hurriedly posted my Thursday morning musing, so here are those links again and one to a discussion that followed.
- Over Analysis Syndrome (from brewer Matt Van Wyk)
- Armchair Brewer Syndrome (from brewvana)
- Drinking the same beer way too long (from The Beer Mapping Project)
- Rating Beer Raters? (Rate Beer discussion – Matt must still be amazed what he wandered into)
You connect the dots.

These kids were awesome. I'm glad I went. Just wanted to see some young talent doing their thing and was not disappointed. Loved the late afternoon time...in and out in an hour and thoroughly entertained. I try to see all of ACT's Young Ensemble shows.

My Nursing Essentials
I wanted to share a few of the things that made me feel comfortable when I first started nursing in public with the little man. A quick disclosure: I believe in letting nursing mamas do their thing–whether that's with a coverup, in a baby carrier, or au natural–baby's gotta eat! For me, I felt most relaxed when I had some coverage.
The nursing outfits I always hear about are to layer a nursing tank with a button up or a T-shirt. The luxury! Nursing tanks were too small and unsupportive for me (I bought a Cantaloop–he he, get it? Gosh, I'm way too easily amused…)–tank and there was no way I could step foot in public in it, but it was great as a sleep tank in those first few weeks. Instead, during the first few months when the LO nursed all the time and on-the-go, I stuck with nursing bras and pulled up my normal tops under a nursing cover. For coverage in the back from hiking up my shirt (something you don't have to worry about with a nursing tank), I liked higher waisted pants.
1. Bebe au Lait coverup ($35).
Loved the stiff wire so I could see what I was doing and check on the babes. I tried something called the Boob Tube as well, but it was super awkward to manage with large boobs and I needed more coverage where I pulled my shirt up in the front. The Bebe au Lait design is super simple, a kind of apron around your neck, that you can throw on and pull off fast. It folds up really small in the diaper bag. I tried to find the most inconspicuous print, to keep it less "hello, I'm nursing!"
Bonus: Shade while they're sleeping on planes…
2. Jag Jeans "Malia" High Rise Slim Leg (available at Zappos or Nordstrom, $64). LOOOVED these pants post-partum. They pull on with no zipper or button to awkwardly cut into your post baby deflated balloon belly–plus 50000000 points. The upper panel is not super stretchy like maternity pants, it's a stretch denim that has some give so you feel comfy but was also sturdy enough to keep my belly from sloshing around. The back comes up pretty high so you don't have to worry about flashing a whale tail while nursing.
3. Leggings. My old Madewell ones were easy to pull up higher on the waist to sit closer to my natural waist. I'm sure there are plenty of other brands you could hike up, too. Same thing as Jag Jeans, here–covering up any exposed back while the Bebe au Lait covered up the front.
4. Workout clothes. Especially for the first few weeks home…don't even try on most of your pre-pregnancy stuff (especially pants)!! Spandex is your friend. Trust.
I liked my Astro pants (same ones that I wore throughout my entire pregnancy) because they came up high (again, loved that for coverage in the back) and helped pull my belly in so I could wear a stretchy workout top without feeling too self-conscious, but Lululemon doesn't seem to make those anymore. Maybe the Groove pants would be a good alternative (well, as long as they're not see through!). I also lived in my workout tops because hardly any shirts fit me while I was engorged and the stretch was perfect for the extra boob volume.
What the heck tops do you wear while your boobs are extra big? My outfits were hit or miss, especially because it was fall and winter during my most active nursing days and sweaters + nursing boobs = Kathy comic "Ack! Ack!" reenactment in the dressing room. I found a few sweaters / tops on the longer side that had a band at the bottom so it cinched a bit, in thinner knits, and I liked those the best. I also tried longer shells to pair with long cardigans and blazers. But I never felt totally together, so I'll hand it over to you lovely ladies. What tops do you go for during the nursing months? Please share in the comments!!
Here's an outfit I attempted 4 weeks postpartum and then another 9 weeks PP. I tried my best
Hello!! I have been wanting to do a post for ages, and every time I sat down at my computer after tidying up after the baby or doing the laundry, he'd, of course, wake up from his nap. Without fail. And suddenly here I am, with a precious 9 month old son and feeling very guilty for having abandoned my blog!
So, first things first, a pic of the little guy:
I'm soaking up all the mom moments and loving watching him go from a tiny little thing who conked out every few minutes to a wild bundle of energy racing around the apartment to find everything he's not supposed to touch! Every parent says they grow up quickly, but I didn't realize how fast it all would happen until all these milestones started piling up one on top of the next and I started packing away the 4th big bin of clothes. Sniff…
So, onto something boob-related…NURSING!
To be honest, I was very non-commmittal about the whole thing going in. I had heard about all these horrible sounding things like clogged ducts and mastitis, not to mention engorgement (bigger boobs??? Are you kidding? How could they grow any more than my 9 month bra size??). But I thankfully and luckily didn't have trouble getting going at the hospital with the wonderful nurses who showed me the ropes and reassured me when I couldn't tell if I was getting the latch right. With a good supply and a hungry little guy we were off and, somehow, now coming up to the 1 year birthday when I can wean him to milk when we're ready.
But despite an easy nursing relationship with two minor hiccups (2 clogged ducts I resolved on my own following tips on the amazing Kellymom), I gotta be honest. The thing that was the biggest hurdle was finding nursing bras in my size that made me feel good, and reading June's recent post about this brought all those feelings right back. I wanted to wait to post about nursing bras until I found ones I loved so I could help provide solutions, but the options were scarce in my cup/band combo. I don't want to scare anyone away from nursing for fear of this, though–honestly, this issue made me dig in my heels even more to figure out a solution, because, as my hormones would have said if they could have: Damn if I'm going to stop feeding my child because the bra options for me are scarce! Whatever, bra companies!
Hormone-rant aside, if you're in the middle range of the full-busted cup continuum, don't worry; there are some good options, like Anita, which guest poster Patricia mentioned here, and June is on the case to find even more. They may not be the most beautiful bras in the world but they do the job.
But if you cross up into the higher end of the cup range with a small band, where I found myself (I think around a 30J/JJ until recently; allowing for fitting-myself error, as I probably overestimated the cup to avoid wires touching my breast tissue for fear of mastitis), the options include soft bras by Royce, Freya, Panache and one Cake Lingerie option (Cheesecake) and for underwires, going out on a limb with a special order Ewa Michalak. None of the soft cups gave me enough support with my heavy nursing boobs, and I was super droopy in them. My Ewa special order I'll tackle separately, but I couldn't use them.
The best solution I found for myself?
Making my own. Even with my remedial sewing machine skills, I knocked one out in an hour. If you've sewn more recently than 15 years ago, you'll probably be done much faster. I followed these two tutorials at Hourglassy and Venusian Glow and made my Panache Jasmine (I liked it because of the stretch lace at the top–great for cup fluctuation between feedings–and the closer-set cups and bigger cup range than the Andorra) a nursing workhorse.
Next time around, my strategy will be to order this bra or one in a similar style in sizes one to two cup sizes up prior to having the baby, try them on when possible and return the sizes that don't work (I *cover my nips* with Bandaids when trying on bras while nursing to avoid unfortunate leaking and return issues!) and tackle the alterations when I can. A lot of sites give you 60 days to return so you can get through that engorgement period and see what size you settle into.
Also: some Nordstrom's will do nursing bra alterations. My experience was that the alterations department chose which bras they'd turn into nursing bras and there weren't very many. The department manager did her best with their available stock and what the alterations department could do, and had them take an Elomi Caitlyn 34J and cut 3″ off the back and add nursing bra clasps. The uplift was better, but the cups were huge and the wires wrapped around onto my back, giving me a very wide east-west look and eventually bruising me… It was better than the soft wires but not as good as my own alterations, which were cheaper to do than Nordstrom, which charged for the band and the nursing bra alterations for a grand total of $35 per bra. As usual, the customer service from Nordstrom's was wonderful and the manager was incredibly sweet and encouraging about finding a solution.
Hopefully I will be able to post more in the coming months. I don't think I'll be writing on a regular schedule, but we'll see how it goes!
A Little Maternity Leave :)
I'm due any day now, and, well, my brain officially left the building about a week and a half ago! I likely won't be posting for a couple of months while I get acclimated to Baby and sleep deprivation and feeding and diaper changing, unless I have a free moment to share something booby-related with you all. BUT! I don't want to leave you hanging. There are TONS of great large breast blogs out there now which I've tried to keep up with in my blog roll (on the right side of my blog; just scroll down!)–highly recommended reading, all of them. Keep up with all the goings-on of the DD+ community with any one of these!
And, if you happen to have an idea for a DD+ guest post, whether it's fashion or bra related or about topics that come up with having a large chest in general, please email me at info at stackdd.com. I'd love to consider it!
See you all on the other side….!!! Xx
In the last few posts, I've talked about how my breasts have changed over the course of my pregnancy, bra fitting and bra recommendations, and pregnancy bra fitting advice that REALLY didn't work for me and why. But undergoing all this change hasn't been cheap! No one's ever going to have the same type of breast change in pregnancy, but I thought it might be helpful to see exactly how I got by with bras during my pregnancy and share some tips for saving money while your chest is in flux. So, without further ado…
WHAT I WORE IN BRAS, beginning of pregnancy through 36 weeks:
Yesterday I showed you what happened with a pregnancy bra fitting that went awry. The results were not pretty! So I picked Linda's brain (from Linda's Bra Salon) to see why the advice used to fit me–be able to fit a whole handful in the top of each cup–didn't work.
Q: Ack!! Help! What happened with these bras?
All right, as promised, today I'm going to dive in with some of the pregnancy bra fitting advice that *didn't* work for me!
One very reputable store I went to tried their very best to fit me, but here's what happened when I wore the new bras I purchased from them. Sorry for the gruesome photo, but this is simply a case where the picture explains it much better:
So what happened here?
The DD+ Reading Roundup
I love when other bloggers round up their favorite inspirations, news, and reads so I can catch up on everything I've missed. But I have been so inconsistent about doing it here! I'm hoping to do this more often if you find it helpful. And coming shortly, a post with the rest of my pregnancy/nursing bra fittings, mishaps, and recs.
XO, Sarah
- First, the exciting news that we in the US have our first Curvy Kate Star in a Bra, the lovely Krista Cousins! I love her positivity and energy for transforming the bra landscape here in America: "The time for a beautiful, busty, body revolution is now and I am very prepared to lead us all to victory." Krista went into the contest thinking she was a 34 or 36 F and discovered she's a 30GG. Here's to more women finding bras that fit well and signing up for a good fitting at their local specialty lingerie shop or via Skype!
- The Lingerie Addict interviews new nursing bra brand Lorna Drew's managing director Lorna Drew on how she came up with her adjustable cup concept and her passion to help support nursing moms. I've been following this company as one of the only ones I've seen who makes 30 bands up to a J cup (UK) with something resembling a normal shape and am interested to see how it stacks up to other nursing brands out there.
- Christine at Boosaurus reviews the first two of a handful of finds from brand-new boob-friendly Polish clothing company Urkye. (Between Ewa Michalak, Comexim, Biu Biu, and Urkye, my Google Polish-to-English translator has been getting a workout!
- Braless in Brasil continues her series on Victoria's Secret terrible fit advice with a guest post from Boosaurus giving their in-store fitting services a (forehead-smacking) go.
- H cup and up? Holly rounds up 10 great H-L cup bra picks over at the Full Figured Chest.
- Know you're in the wrong bra size but still feel shy, funny, weird, or intimidated to get a fitting with a real pro (*not* Victoria's Secret)? Butterfly Collection's guest post this week shares the story of her sister-in-law who found being in a well-fitted bra helped her stopped being ashamed of her chest.
- I'm loving this bright coral or soft lilac Lululemon running top! It has a super cute back cut-out with a girly lace trim that looks like it would still accommodate our extra-wide DD+ sports bra straps. Plus, like many Lulu tops, it seems long enough that it wouldn't ride up in the front from the extra fabric the boobs take up. Has anyone tried this??
Let's talk some more about pregnant boobs!
Last week I showed you how my breasts had changed from the first trimester to week 33 of my third trimester and gave the actual measurements of how they changed. But keeping up with all that in bras? Now that's been a learning experience, so I wanted to share some of the tips and hints I've gotten from professional bra fitters for pregnancy along the way and how they worked for me, as well as a few things I discovered, too.
(PS: I know I promised to post this last week, but my brain died last Thursday–thank you, Baby StackDD+! It seems it has finally returned to functional today. Thank you, God!)
Tip #1:
Claudette Giveaway Winner Announcement!
This was so hard! All the stories you guys shared were awesome and so positive–it's amazing how much a bra that fits well can transform how we feel about ourselves!
I love reading about how you learned that things that were taken as a given with bras became signs of ill fit:
- "Though I noticed that the straps either dug in or slipped off, breasts fell out of cups etc I thought that was the norm so I sailed along in my youthful ignorance." — The Baroness
- "I didn't know how a good bra should fit, I didn't know a good bra could make my breasts look amazing, I didn't know a good bra would make clothes fit properly. Worst of all, I didn't know that constant back pain and sore breasts are NOT a normal part of wearing a bra. … I set out to fix my bra problem. … [T]urns out I'm a 32G/30GG!" –Kaya
And how you reacted to learning your new size and wearing the right bra:
- "I wore too-small bras for years, where the band was too big and the cups too small. I didn't really know any different, though, so I was incredibly surprised to find out my true size when I finally went to a small bra boutique–I'd been about 4 cup sizes off!" — Nora
- "[My first bra fitting] made me realize that my breasts are neither too large, nor too small, they are mine – and perfect exactly the way they are." — Megan
- "[E]ven though I don't look like a D cup, I found I was …. and all three of us–my two girls and me-feel and look great!!!" –Kim L
- "Getting my first accurately-sized bra in the first time in years was a revelation." — Lena
And the best part? How your new bras are working for you:
- "Before, I tried my hardest to cover up (which can be hard, since even the smallest v-necks always seemed to show too much.) Now I'm a lot more comfortable wearing shirts that I would have never worn before. And I think they fit better, too. — Katie
- "[E]ven a relatively boring bra can really flatter my figure." –Reesa
- "My boobs didn't droop anymore. I no longer resembled someone's grandmother. I had a waist, and it was tiny! Looking at my reflection in that mirror, for once truly supported, I felt beautiful—unreservedly, without exceptions or addendums, beautiful—for the first time in my life." –Eileen
While all of your stories moved me, and I found many parts of Eileen and Katie's stories, especially, that I could identify with, the person I selected to win still hasn't found a bra to fit her. She hasn't yet experienced the rest of these a-ha moments but is on the verge, guessing that she's a 34I (34G in Claudette). So CASSIDY, I'd like you to be able to know what a bra in your actual size can do for you! I'd love to help get you in your first well-fitting bra with Claudette's help!!
To be honest, I still have never had a properly fitting bra. I wear ones that will "work" but I just can't bring myself to spend the money on a good fitting bra. (I think I wear a 34I but could be very off on that after reading all your tips) I would love, love, love to win this so that I can finally see how it is!
Thanks again to everyone who entered! This is the second giveaway I've been able to host, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again! To keep up with contests and the rest of my posts, you may want to consider subscribing to my Feedburner on the sidebar to have my latest entries delivered to your inbox so you don't miss a thing Xx
Just when you feel you've made peace with your big boobs…Pregnancy! Even before I became pregnant, I wondered how much bigger my boobs would get, how I'd feel about it, and what it would look like. And I also wondered how the growth would translate to bra size and finding a good fit.
There's nothing better than just showing you all how they changed, so here's a photo journal through my pregnancy. Originally DH and I just took these photos for us to look back on, so you get an uncensored look at how exactly I was feeling toward the end of my first trimester (who needs a nap in photo 4??) and how awesome I felt in my second (beaming smiles in every one of those photos…ha!).
So how exactly did my bust grow?


text: Dan Lefevour passed for one touchdown and ran for another. His draft status has risen while Tim Tebow's has fallen. I think he fumbled the ball too. If i was an NFL scout i would take D.L. before all but maybe one of the prospects that Todd Mcshay and the rest of his ESPN cohorts think are better than Dan Lefevour. I'm sure D.L will do quite well at the NFL combine too. He does not get the attention of the other's b/c he plays in the MAC Conference but so did Ben Rothlisberger and he has two super bowl rings. I predict great things for Mr. Lefevour when he gets his chance to play at the nfl level.

Below, on the left, you can see a list of some of our gorgeous weddings that we have had the pleasure of filming. For each wedding I have done a little intro so you can read through and see which one takes your fancy before clicking 'read more' to see their wedding films.
I am really passionate about creating really personal and unique films for all of my couples so this area is all about showcasing the different weddings we have done and the final films we have created for each couple. From romantic Highlights films to heart-warming guest messages, we have worked with every couple to make their final wedding DVD personal to them.
Featured Weddings
A Wirral and Cheshire Wedding
This was one of my favourite weddings from 2012. Not only was it totally swoon worthy with the amazing Inglewood Manor as the setting, a gorgeous bride and the handsome groom in his military uniform but it also meant so much to me to see a past bride of mine again! I had the pleasure of filming Anna's sister's wedding the previous year (one of my all time favourite wedding films, you can watch that here).
A Liverpool City Wedding
I love a stylish, city centre wedding and this wedding at The Athenaeum in Liverpool really did live up to it's stylish expectations. It was Rachel's Mum that booked us after seeing us at The Hard Day's Night wedding show as Rachel and Ruairi weren't keen on the idea of having a video but once they saw us working quietly on the day and the final films they admitted they were right to listen to her Mum...
Rachel and Ruairi's Wedding Highlights
Rachel and Ruairi's Wedding Feature
They also had the Outtakes and Guest Messages added to their package which was hilarious to edit. Some of Ruairi's Aunts had me in stitches...
A Greater Manchester Wedding
Kate and William's Wedding (I know, perfectly named couple) at The Saddleworth Hotel near Oldham was a luxurious affair but with some fun touches. From the bride arriving in new Rolls Royce to the actual fish in fish bowls, it was a wedding to wow!

A Lake Windermere Wedding
I had so much fun at this Lake District wedding that my ribs were sore the next day from all the hysterical laughing! Sarah and Gerrard were married at the beautiful Our Lady of the Wayside at Grasmere before heading over to the Langdale Chase Hotel right on the banks of Lake Windermere.
Sarah and Gerrard's Wedding Highlights Film
You can read more about their wedding in the wedding blog post by
A Soughton Hall Wedding
Vicky and Gareth were married in St Georges Church in Thornton Hough, Wirral. One of my favourite picturesque villages in the North West! After a beautiful ceremony we all headed towards Wales to Soughton Hall for their wedding reception. A Mulberry handbag, chocolate Labrador puppy and a groom in a kilt, what more do you need?

A wedding with all four seasons as we experienced every weather possible!

text: I follow twitter very closely and as some of you may know, I follow incarceratedBob. He is a big Jets fan and he is 50/50 on stories he reports. He claims to have sources in all the major sports. Well a source told him that Ryan and Belichick's postgame handshake involved an apology for Welker's comment's about Rex's fetish. How his source knows this, I have no clue. He has had multiple sources claim that Belichick has told people on the team that Welker will not be a Patriot next year and they are looking for a 2nd or 3rd round choice for him. I'm not sure I want to believe this because as all of us Jet fans know, NE is a very secretive team. Belichick is very tight lipped and I don't see how this would have gotten leaked. If it is true then I have to say wow. I don't like Belichick but I respect him as one of the greatest coaches the NFL has ever seen. For him to trade one of his best players because they went against his orders, is a real gutsy move. You have to hand it to him and tip your cap if the story is true. We know about players that crossed him in the past like Seymour,Moss,Milloy, they all got traded or were released. So as Jet fans what do you think? Should we believe this story? If it is true should we inquire about acquiring Welker??

April Gornik's paintings of land, sky and sea are rooted in observed reality and a world synthesized, abstracted, stored and remembered. They offer the viewer an opportunity to explore dichotomies between past and present, expanse and its circumscription, stillness and the inexorable momentum of atmospheric change. Her canvases – roiling seas, brewing skies, mountains overlooking endless plains – extend and engage nature's proscenium. In these captured moments time pauses, the natural world triumphs and calm descends.
In addition, Gornik has a new book of her drawings coming out, April Gornik: Drawings, published by FigureGround Press and distributed by ARTBOOK D.A.P., with essays by Steve Martin and Archie Rand, an interview with Lawrence Weschler, and a downloadable composition for piano and cello by Bruce Wolosoff. A limited number will be available at the time of the show opening at Danese/Corey Gallery. It will be available on Amazon at the end of May.
There will be a book signing on May 29th, 5-7pm, at Danese/Corey.
More on her work at April Gornik.

Water UK metaldehyde briefing paper
The water industry, along with farmers and producers, has demonstrated a successful voluntary approach to reducing the concentrations of metaldehyde in rivers, reservoirs and drinking water over the past few years. However, 2012 was an exceptional year, with the combination of a dry start followed by a very wet summer and autumn. This increased both the presence of slugs and snails and also the tendency for rapid run-off of water from treated land.
The resulting increases in metaldehyde in drinking water resulted in breaches of UK and EU standards. To ensure that the reductions seen in previous years are sustainable, water companies are assessing where high-risk areas or hotspots exist and, working with stakeholders, considering a range of extra options in these areas to reduce the risk from metaldehyde...

Al-Ghazali is a most popular Muslim scholar. Many people know him as an intellectual Muslim.
There are some advices of al-Ghazali. Those are:
1. What is the nearest to our selves in the world? Death.
2. What is the so far from our selves in the world? The past.
3. What is the biggest in the world? Desire.
4. What is the heaviest in the world? Mandate.
5. What is the light in the world? Leaving prayer (shalat [ritual prayers and actions performed five times daily])
