1Quotables: Diablo Cody on 'Young Adult' and Women in Hollywood
"The conventional knowledge in Hollywood is that an unsympathetic female character can tank a movie. I'm hoping that's not true. I'm knocking on wood really emphatically right now but honestly I have a lot of theories sometimes I wonder if it comes down to mommy issues. The idea of a cold, unlikeable woman or a woman who is not in control of herself is genuinely frightening to people because it threatens civilization itself or threatens the American family.
"But I don't know why people are always willing to accept and even like flawed male characters. We've seen so many loveable anti-heroes who are curmudgeons or addicts or bad fathers and a lot of those characters have become beloved icons and I don't see women allowed to play the same parts. So it was really important to me to try and turn that around."
—Screenwriter Diablo Cody on writing Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) in Young Adult. The entire interview is over at Indiewire, and it is a blast.

1Watch This: the Trailer for Jason Reitman's 'Young Adult' Is Here!
Oh man, oh man, oh man. This trailer looks so good, right?
Charlize Theron stars in Young Adult as Mavis Gary, an insufferable "young adult" fiction writer who returns to her Minnesota hometown hoping to make her old high school boyfriend fall in love with her (thanks, IMDb). And! It co-stars my dream man, Patrick Wilson, who plays the guy Mavis can't have. And! Patton Oswalt plays the unwilling wingman, an acquaintance from high school who obviously puts up with Mavis's ish because she's so darn cute and catty.
I have totally high hopes for this one you guys—like, even higher hopes than I had for One for the Money. For one thing, anyone who's watched Arrested Development or "Between Two Ferns" knows Charlize has done her career a major disservice, because she has mad comedic timing. Patton Oswalt I'm actually so-so on—I know it isn't fair to hold King of Queens against him, but I just do—but since he is a Career Nerd, I have to stand with him in solidarity. Then there's Patrick Wilson, whose filmography is a veritable Rosetta's Stone of What? Hngh. Love him.
But most importantly, this flick is a Jason Reitman joint. It's great to see him again paired with breakout screenwriter Diablo Cody (they made Juno together), and this movie could be infinitely more affable. Who wants to see a 15-year old act like she's 35, anyway? I'd much rather see a 35-year old act like she's 15. Now you're speakin' my language, Cody.

8Adam Brody Lets Kristen Stewart Know What's Up
So Diablo Cody has a new web show, and for her first episode, she interviewed Adam Brody. They talked about a variety of topics in a quirky, sarcastic way, but one of the more interesting parts is around the 5:50 mark when she asks Adam if he enjoys fame or if he wishes he could separate acting from the fame, "ala Kristen Stewart." Here's what he said:
"It's only gotten worse, I'm sure, being a celebrity. At the same time, I don't have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do. It's like, quit, fuckin' quit … you don't need to be an actor, so it's like if it's that much of a problem … there's the door."
Snap! And you know Adam was in a movie with Kristen a few years ago, In the Land of Women, so it's not like he doesn't know her. I hope she keeps up with him so she can finally realize that she can, in fact, fuckin' quit. Let's be real though, she's too busy smoking weed and pissing off the world and being way too undeservedly successful to watch YouTube.

16Why Was Diablo Cody Meeting With Hugh Hefner?
Juno and Jennifer's Body writer Diablo Cody met up with Hugh Hefner yesterday to discuss the long-talked about Brian Grazer-produced biopic about the Playboy founder yesterday, according to Hefner's Twitter. Although meetings are held all day long in Hollywood that more often than not result in nothing, it's notable that the Cody is considering taking on such a film. The departure from her indie-comedy/horror starts (which are departures from each other in the first place) further goes to show that there's really no telling where Cody's career will go. The writer herself announced this week that she's penning a movie based on the Sweet Valley High book series and said in an interview with Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers that even she would be confused by her career trajectory if she was not Diablo Cody herself.
So what would you think about a Hugh Hefner biopic written by Diablo Cody? Do you think that she has the star-power to elevate this kind of flick past the TV-movie-of-the-week status that one would imagine such a movie to have, or would you prefer that she make like an ankle toy and Skip It? (Yeah, that was my half-assed attempt at a Juno-ism. Give me a break, Nell Carter. It's 2k9.)

8ZOMG I'm So Excited for Jennifer's Body
I'm VERY VERY jealous right now, because my good pal Laremy Legel over at our sister site Film.com is currently at the screening of Jennifer's Body, and he failed to invite me. (His weak response after my freak-out today: "I didn't invite you? I thought I did." NO LAREMY YOU DID NOT.)
I am soooo excited for the Diablo Cody-penned flick that stars Megan Fox as a high-school cheerleader who kills boys and Amanda Seyfried (the eldest daughter on Big Love) as her BFF. And today Laremy sent me a link to the "red band" trailer, which I guess in filmophile speak is the trailer that is NOT suitable for all audiences. It's even better than the previous trailers I've seen for this flick. It's not embeddable, but you can watch it here. The screen-grab of a naked Megan Fox is above. Don't say I never do anything nice for you guys.

19Is Everyone Super Excited for United States of Tara?
Here's a first look at the new Showtime comedy, The United States of Tara, written by much-hyped Juno scribe Diablo Cody. It stars Toni Colette as a married mother with dissociative personality disorder.
From /Film:
I might have read the script. And if I did, I'd tell you how it's peppered with Cody's pop-culture obsessed snap-filled dialog, minus the intense slang of Juno. And it's not light either. In the opening it is revealed that Tara has just found morning after pills in her 16-year-old daughter's Kate's bag. It's later revealed that (potential spoiler warning) one of Tara's alter egos, a burnout teenage stoner named T, was the one who supplied her with said pills. If Collette can actually pull off each of the personalities, and actually make it believable, this could be Showtime's next Dexter.
Does it look good?
Will you guys be tuning in?

DETROIT (AP) -- A federal jury has convicted a Washtenaw County man on charges he enslaved and abused four West African children in his home for several years.The jury deliberated for less than a day in Detroit's U.S. District Court before finding Ypsilanti resident Jean-Claude Toviave guilty Tuesday on four counts of forced labor. He faces up to 20 years in prison when he's sentenced Feb. 6.Victims testified that Toviave beat them with broomsticks, a toilet plunger and other objects when they failed to obey him. They also allege he deprived them of food and sleep.Federal authorities say the Togo native brought the victims into the U.S. with fake documents by pretending they were his own children. Toviave pleaded guilty in February to harboring aliens and other charges.

Review submitted: July 12, 2013 Date of arrival: July 8, 2013
We booked for a large party including visitors from Scotland. We are also VRBO owners, in the states, so knew the way it should work. When we arrived the on site management had no lockbox code and none was provided in the check-in papers. The manager of El Faro had to track down the owners agent in town (Juan Gabriel, he said anyway), and he wasn't asnwering his cell. It was kinda creepy and secretive and quite inconvenient, we had to wait for a while before we got in. The house is adequate, but lots of things in the photos are not there, like nice carpets and curtains. The beach is pretty lame. There were campers right outside our back porch ruining any view, as there is a campground between the beach and the house- and at one point we had to kick kids off the wall of the porch. It was noisy and kinda ruined the ambiance. We got our deposit back no problem, and it might be OK for folks who don't know Mexico, but we have houses in San Felipe (K42) and Rosarito so we expected more. We got it for the size but the BRs were very small. We won't go back. El Faro Beach is kinda crummy ....and the restautant they show in the pics in on a private Estuary Beach you can't actually get there on the beach, its gated and walled off. You can't actully walk far up or down the beach due to the tide or the private sea wall. Our dog liked the beach. The price was too high for this property, we expected more.

Great Place to Stay
Review submitted: June 25, 2013 Date of arrival: June 19, 2013
The house was very clean and in a safe part of town and its right on the beach. The groundskeeper was very nice and hospitable. You can rent boogie boards or go for horseback rides on the beach.
The main challenge about staying here is that the bedrooms and bathrooms are small. Also there is salt in the water that comes out of the faucets and shower, but you are told that up front.
We really had no unpleasant surprises at this home other than the fact that ATVs aren't allowed on this beach because its small. My teenagers still enjoyed the home and the beach thoroughly.
Great place to stay!

Wedding destination
Review submitted: August 5, 2011 Date of arrival: July 17, 2010
Enjoyed it so much we keep coming back!! We first rented this home along with the 3br property next door last July for our wedding at the Estero Beach Resort. We were able to walk to and from beach house and resort. Beautiful views of ocean and sound of the waves every morning from the balcony was amazing. Pictures did not disappoint us! The home is clean and well stocked with all the necessities to make us comfortable-just like home!. A trip to costco and market and we had our week covered! It was great to be able to just relax at the beach or take a 10 minute drive to downtown for some night life! We were there again in January and June of this year! Can't wait til our next visit!!

Great weekend deal
Review submitted: May 18, 2011 Date of arrival: April 29, 2011
I got this unit as a base for a weekend in Ensenada and it was great. Away from the city, but close enough to get everything you need, including Golf at Baja Country Club, just a 3-wood away. Big enough for 8 adults with all the amenities. The local Supt was very nice, always looking to find if we were ok also.

Just like home
Review submitted: March 16, 2011 Date of arrival: March 11, 2011
Nice cozy home in the beach. We did not miss anything from our own home. It has Dish TV, Cable TV, Wireless internet and grill in the balcony. All you need to bring is your food, charcoal and beach towels.
It has a great view of the ocean right from the living room, and the beach is sandy with no rocks at all. This home is in a gated trailer park location, with excellent security and very quiet.
The house is clean, well maintained and not to far from everything.
This was our first trip to Ensenada and we like this town, we found the fish market called "Mercado Negro" (Black Market), and they have a nice variety of seafood at great prices.
As always visiting Mexico, never put tap water in your mouth.

Wonderful Beach Hideaway!
Review submitted: January 1, 2011 Date of arrival: November 24, 2010
Two adults (man & woman), romantic getaway
Wonderful beachfront cabin in large older vacation community just south of Ensenada. It has camping areas, lots of small cabins such as this listing, and a number of trailers / motor homes that have been converted for permanent use. We were there over Thanksgiving and most of the summertime stuff such as outdoor cafes / ice cream stands were closed. Frankly, the vacation community was a little deserted in winter - which could be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. It was perfect for us - we awoke to the sound of the surf, looked out on the ocean with morning sun coming over the cabin, and basically had the whole place to ourselves. During summer, vacation area looks like it would be VERY different - fun with lots going on.
Easy access to large supermarkets/stores. Listing description accurate regarding both location and property. Property very clean and well-maintained, rental representative was very responsive - even available by cell phone when I arrived on a holiday weekend to help me find access code which I had misplaced. E-mail communication was clear and timely, and the rate as of November, 2010 was great. I would definitely recommend the property to a friend and plan to stay there again. With only 2 in our party, we totally underutilized cabin - there were 3 bedrooms we didn't use at all. Cooking is fairly primitive - there is a small propane range but the oven has numbers 1-10 as options, not actual temperatures on dial. If you're looking to cook something specific it would be prudent to bring whatever you know you'll absolutely need (eg, cookie sheets, dutch oven, etc) in the way of cookware and an oven thermometer, if applicable. Large, nice fridge. Large gas space heater in living room area, smaller electric radiator heater in master BR. As of November, 2010 no heat in other areas of house - could be sketchy in winter for parties larger than 2. Ready access to wireless Internet a blessing or a curse, depending on purpose of your trip.
A couple of Ensenada places worth seeking out -
Birrieria Guadalajara - OMG!! Yum and inexpensive! There's a McDonalds on "1st" (main drag). This restaurant is toward "2nd" on same street
Hussong's - has an unusually cool old time Baja vibe (no upside down body shots), been there since 1892 or something, prices reasonable
Curios "Wendy" - on road to La Bufadora, km 5.5 (on left as you head to La Bufadora) - great pottery

Location, Location
Review submitted: July 15, 2010 Date of arrival: July 3, 2010
We rented this home for a week and could not ask for a better location. The directions Anna gives you makes it easy to find. Everything Anna states in her ad is true.
The view was breath taking and you could walk right out to the beach. We had 3 generations in our group - location was perfect for all.
The staff at El Faro Beach was always there to assist you (with a smile) and they keep their location safe and secure. It felt just as safe as home.
This house is perfect for anybody with a car. You could drive to the market in less then 10 minutes, downtown in 15 minutes, La Bufadora, Punta Banda and Las Canadas (adventure seekers - must check on this) in less then 30. Great home for couples, families or a group of friends. Very clean and has everything you need.
I also met her manager, who allowed me to see her other properties - all just as perfect! Why pay for a hotel when you can have a beach (almost) to yourself, by walking out your door.
We plan on going back and will stay at any of her available properties!!!
Thanks Anna for giving us a special location to visit Ensenada!!! It made the experience that much better!!

Hellloooo All!
During my early morning short shift at the coffee shop today, a customer came in a paid with the app level-up. The base of the machine lights up and he was pretty pumped by this. To make it even more exciting I threw up my fingers into jazz hands and said "happy monday!"
We could all use a little lights and jazz hands on a Monday morning – in addition to the large coffee
Luckily, my beautiful friend Katie gives us Marvelous Monday posts every week to get us into that positivity spreading spirit.
1. My favorite breakfast lately:
Chobani greek yogurt, persimmon, naturally sweetened pumpkin butter, sweet and salty granola, and cinnamon
sub the permission for pomegranate seeds
Both seasonally inspired and equally delicious
2. My best friend from back home ran her first 5k yesterday!! Congrats Jenna – you are awesome. I couldn't be happier for you :)!!
She also sent me this card over the weekend:
There are no words to express how much this card meant to me. I really needed the encouragement/support. <3
3. Creating a new tradition with my boo. Although, I am not going home this week for Thanksgiving, and my heart it is breaking about it, bb is actually back home as of yesterday for almost 10 days. It is the first slash longest time since end of July! When I get out of work on Turkey Day we are going to create our own untraditional celebration – perhaps some Indian take out and heading to see the new James Bond! Whoop whoop! Not necessarily ideal, but it will still be special
4. Dates and new friends! I made new friends Saturday at the Pushcart Coffee grand opening party.
I was like a giddy, flirty school girl when we texted on Sunday and made plans for watching the Macy's parade balloons get blown up on Wednesday evening – soooo pumped for this!!
I also made a long standing date with Jen for yoga and tea next week. We have yet to meet in person!
5. This quote:
"Surrounding yourself with people living their dreams, is the best shortcut to living your own"
Don't you love when you read something somewhere, spontaneously that really hits home for your life at that exact moment?? That is in fact so marvelous!
6. Tara Stiles and 7 Weeks of Bliss. Tara is the founder of Strala, my lovely yoga studio. She is awesome and today starts her 7 Weeks of Bliss Campaign. Calm, Connected and Inspired all week long with videos to boost your mind, move your body, and fuel yourself through the holiday season. Can't think of a better idea to start winter with.
While I've been reading these posts for months, I have yet to join in while I get my life back together. Time to stop saying and start just doing!
The best way I could think to start to re-introduce my life here on Freckles & Spice, was to share my passions in yesterday's post. I have plenty of the more meaningful/deep/heavy/thoughtful posts in the wings, but to be the blogger I strive to be, I think it is best to mix it up with some fun posts – expect more marvelousness, fun quizzes, and definitely recipes to be sprinkled in F&S.
Cheers friends!
What is marvelous in your life??
And I'm still looking to hear your passions!

UN Has Been Ratcheting up Iran Sanctions
By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS November 8, 2011
The U.N. Security Council first imposed sanctions against Iran in December 2006 and has been ratcheting up the punitive measures since then in hopes of pressuring the government to suspend enrichment and start negotiations on its nuclear program — which it has refused to do.
The council has acted in response to reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is expected to release new details this week indicating possible secret work by Iran to develop nuclear weapons. It could lead to new sanctions.
Here is a rundown of the four sanctions resolutions adopted thus far:
— December 2006: The council ordered all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also ordered countries to freeze the assets of 10 key Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.
— March 2007: The council banned Iranian arms exports and ordered countries to freeze the assets of 28 additional individuals and organizations involved in Iran's nuclear and missile programs. It called for voluntary restrictions on travel by the individuals subject to sanctions, on arms sales to Iran, and on new financial assistance or loans to the Iranian government.
— March 2008: The council banned all countries from trading with Iran in goods that have both civilian and military uses. It authorized inspection of cargo suspected of containing banned items on planes and ships that are owned or operated by Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line. It authorized financial monitoring of Bank Melli and Bank Saderat, called on all countries "to exercise vigilance" in entering into new trade commitments, and froze the assets of 12 additional companies and 13 individuals.
— June 2010: The council banned Iran from pursuing "any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons," barred Iranian investment in activities such as uranium mining, and prohibited Iran from buying several categories of heavy weapons. It called on all countries to cooperate in the inspection of suspect cargo and to block financial transactions and ban the licensing of Iranian banks if they have "reasonable grounds" to believe these activities could contribute to Iranian nuclear activities.
The council also imposed sanctions on 40 Iranian companies and organizations. It added one individual to the previous list of 40 Iranians subject to an asset freeze and banned travel for all of them.
Oil exports, the lifeblood of Iran's economy, are not affected by sanctions because of opposition from Russia and China, which have veto power on council decisions.

Meet Grove Team Member Mary!
In 2011, Mary Yaiko showed up to her first day of work dressed up as a fox! Sure, it was Halloween day, but that takes guts! Since then she has been an integral member of the Grove family, brightening our days with her sense of humor, stylish outfits, and sudden dancing fits. (Think: fun cheetah print shoes and Cyndi Lauper!)
Like a lot of us here, she's worn many hats for Grove, including heading the Customer Relations department, writing for our blog, and managing our Instagram feed. Now, she is working full time as a copywriter, both for Grove, and freelance. Basically, nearly everything you read on our website, and all of Grove's newsletters and press releases are written by Mary.
She offers copywriting services under the name Raven Desk Writing. Check out her website here! The name comes from a riddle in the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The Mad Hatter asks: "How is a raven like a writing desk?"
There is meant to be no answer, but people have come up with a few over the years:
Poe wrote on both.
They both have ink dipped quills...
Outside of work Mary is busy bee! She loves music more than anything, and enjoys writing and drawing outside of work. She's currently working on a children's story, and can't wait to share it with the young and young at heart here in Portland. The top of her playlists include Laura Marling, M.I.A., Pure Bathing Culture, and Cults. Last year, she even came to Barrett's Halloween Bash dressed to the nines as Yolandi from Die Antwoord.
We're so lucky to have her writing for us!

Brandon Roy is Back!
So, Brandon Roy is making a comeback next season. Does anyone else think that David Kahn should be making some phone calls to Roy's agent saying things like "If you're open, Rubio will find you" and "How about playing with the best power forward in the league?" For the right price he could be our solution at shooting guard. Of course, there's the knee, so is it worth the risk?

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Germs, pollen, mold, or a virus. They can all be causing your symptoms of sneezing and congestion, but how do you know if you have allergies or a cold?
Nurse Practioner Missy McNabb says that cold and allergy symptoms are similar but there are warning signs of allergies transitioning into an infection.
"If your drainage from your allergies, which is clear, nine times out of ten, becomes dis-colored then that's an indication that you may be going the other way." Said McNabb.
Another way to tell the difference between the two is that a common cold generally only last for a week.
"If you are having symptoms for more than 7-10 days then you need to go see your provider because likely your cold which is viral is becoming bacterial and that may require antibiotics." Explained McNabb.
So you've heard the phrase "the best defense is a good offense," and that applies to cold and allergy season as well. The best way to prevent a cold? well I bet it's not that hard to figure out.
"Wash your hands. I can't express that enough. Just wash you hands multiple times a day. You touch door knobs. You touch your face. You touch people." Said McNabb.
As for those with just regular seasonal allergies, McNabb says we have a long way to go.
"Were just getting started cause all the pollen is starting up and spring is near." McNabb said.
We see the most tree pollen in the air from March to May and although those flowers are pretty, they are behind your sneezing and itchy eyes. With spring in the air and flowers blooming, McNabb recommends staying indoors if you are allergic to pollen. If you need relief from the symptoms of a cold or allergies, antihistamines and decongestants can help clear you up.

POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) - Some business owners in Poplar Bluff say federal healthcare reform leaves them with more questions than answers.
That's why the chamber of commerce brought in the Missouri Foundation for Health.
Maryrose Stricker has owned Pack's Do-It Center in Poplar Bluff for 35 years.
She offers health insurance to all of her 22 employees. But the rising cost of insurance is cutting into her bottom line.
"Any type of a profit margin I might have made that year, possibly, is eaten up by insurance premiums, and that's not right. But this is the way it is across the country," she said.
The numbers in Missouri back her up. Insurance premiums in the state have skyrocketed in the past decade. From 2000-2007, on average employers paid nearly $4,000 more per employee, a 72.1 percent increase in premiums
Workers paid more than $1,200 more, a 91.2 percent increase.
Thomas McAuliff with the Missouri Foundation for Health says there's no guarantee that won't continue.
"A glaring hole in the legislation is that there is nothing that stops the cost of insurance premiums from going up the way they have before," McAuliff said.
But there are pieces of the legislation that small businesses like, such as the health insurance exchange, where employers can pick the coverages they want to offer and get a price based on those benefits.
"It's a marketplace. What insurer you want to go with, what kind of product you want is all up to you to decide," said McAuliff.
Starting this year, there is at least some savings to be had.
"I will get a credit on my insurance premiums that I do pay for my employees," Stricker said. "And right there, that's concrete savings to a small business person."
Another one of the complaints against the legislation is the amount of additional paperwork employers will be responsible for.
Some pieces of the legislation will be implemented as early as September, while other pieces of reform won't become mandatory until 2014.

I've been a bit digitally silent the last while. Life's gotten a bit busier. I've now started interning on a small, independent film and it's fun to see the process. Filming hasn't begun yet but I've been assisting one of the producers and there's a lot to get done before we actually start shooting. I'm really looking forward to that aspect.
In some random news, I was interviewed on the Malabrigo blog and so if you'd like to find out a little bit more about my story, especially as related to Malabrigo, check it out.
I also just finished up my FIT class – yay! Our final project was to choose some vintage Coco Chanel inspiration (no Karl allowed) and use that to design our own collection. It was a pretty tough project and despite a lot of procrastination, I had it done and turned in on time. I think I spent more time procrastinating than I actually did doing the project.
Here's my inspiration board for the project:
Then here's the clothing I designed based on my mood board:
I must say I fell in love with coloring tweed. It seemed like it would be so difficult but it was actually fun. You'll notice on the inspiration board that I had to choose fabrics to use for my collection most of which I got at Mood or B & J fabrics. So then with the coloring I had to replicate the fabric which was a challenge but fun. Chiffon was definitely one of the harder things to replicate.
Finally, we had to do front and back flats of the clothing.
My flats definitely need a lot of improving. My hand isn't the most steady and so my flats don't look as precise as they should. Nonetheless, I think they came out ok.
Here's the full project:
And then since I shared Asaka's work on the swim project, I'll show her awesome Chanel project as well.

Top 10 Gift Ideas for the Sports Fanatic
December 10, 2009 | Posted By: Damilola Daramola | Categorized in: Shopping, Gift Ideas
Sports Fanatics! Everyone knows or has come in contact with one. Some are the occasional, low-octane fans who like to cheer on their alma-mater on game day. Others are a bit more involved: the kind of who has 3 fantasy teams because their favorite team is doing terrible (like this Cleveland Browns fan). From the grass courts of Wimbledon to the grass fields of soccer games; from the greens of Augusta to the green turf of Monday Night Football, fans come in all sports and colors.
So when it comes to sports and the people who love them, this gift guide was distilled to the ten most heart-warming gift ideas for a sports fan. The list has been arranged (subjectively of course) in order of excitement level for a typical fan. One of these ideas is unconventional, while some are more expensive (jerseys) than others (team gear). Overall, these are pointers to get you thinking about your favorite fan over the holidays.
10. Fan Outfit for yourself: This is the unconventional idea after all, the idea of gift-giving is to give to others. However, a gift is also given to make the receiver happy and a fan is happy when his/her significant other is dressed in team-colors and ready to cheer and yell at the top of their lungs. This idea is especially relevant for significant others who have been pressed to take a little more interest in their fans favorite sport. It can show that you are [sort of] interested in their fanaticism.
9. Magazine Subscription: A variety of magazines exist for the avid sports fan from magazines that cover multiple sports (Sports Illustrated) to individual sports (Golf Digest). This might be one of the best attempts to get your fan away from the television. In addition, just like most magazines, these magazines often come with other bonuses such as tips on improving elements of their game or deals on resorts all over the country.
8. Team Gear: Most fans own some item bearing the emblem of their favorite team: a scarf, shot glass, pen, hat etc. Why not add to that growing collection by getting something your fan doesnt already own. It could even be an item that drops a subtle hint such as an apron emblazoned in the Red and White of the St. Louis Cardinals or Nebraska Cornhuskers.
7. Sports Memorabilia: These items are mostly for nostalgia sake and the older/harder to find the item the more appreciative your fan will be. As an example, even though Ohio State last won a College Football Championship in 2003, a Buckeye fan will still get misty-eyed when presented with a picture of Maurice Clarett getting into the end zone. Now whether those tears are of joy or sorrow is a different story entirely.
6. Autographed Gear: A step up from sports memorabilia and team gear is specially autographed equipment from a former or current player of their favorite sport(s). Imagine the look on a fans face getting a tennis ball signed by Rafael Nadal or a jersey signed by Wayne Gretzky? You dont even have to be present at a game so you can hopefully catch a freebie from an athlete; just visit a website like www.sportsmemorabilia.com.
5. Satellite Radio: This is for the fan that commutes and travels quite often or lives in an area where sports radio isnt prevalent. Now that Sirius and XM satellite radios have merged, a fan can receive broadcasts of most games from live broadcasts of NBA games and the English Premier League to Golf Majors and Tennis Grand Slams. Although this radio comes with a subscription, a gift of a months subscription can be obtained and the fan can then decide what to do afterwards.
4. Sports Lessons: You might know a fan who has always wished they could play or participate in the sport that they love watching. Although this isnt as feasible for team sports, you can purchase lessons at a local fitness center for tennis or golf lessons. This way, you get your fan to stay active instead of sitting in front of the TV with a bowl of Tostitos and dip.
3. Sports TV Package: These days almost every sport has an available package. With College conferences also broadcasting their games on their own networks, there appears to be a TV package out there for every fan. Add on to your pre-existing cable subscription and unveil it during Christmas or New Years and watch your fans face light up. With this gift, it will be a little harder to pull your fan away from the TV, so you might want to consider balancing this with the gift previously mentioned or purchasing a package with a shorter season.
2. Live Game Tickets: Whats bigger than getting to watch the game on TV or at a bar? Live Viewing. The atmosphere of being in the stadium or arena amongst thousands of screaming fans doing the wave and music over the loudspeakers can even turn the casual observer into an avid fan. Now this doesnt happen for perennially bad teams as often, but if tickets are purchased for a game where the fans team is favored, you are [almost] guaranteed a good game.
1. Jerseys: Finally, nothing can show being part of a fandom like wearing the jersey of the team you love. This is why this is the top gift item and depending on the team can also be the most expensive. Nothing says Im a Laker Girl like a Koby Bryant jersey or Im part of Who Dat Nation like a Drew Brees jersey. Upping the ante by purchasing a personalized jersey is also a welcome option here.
As you embark on the coming holiday season, remember that the most important thing in giving gifts is the thought and not the monetary amount. Your Browns fan will take an orange visor given with a smile and a hug over an expensive jersey anyday. I wish you the very best this season.

Family of child killed in accident bid to cut speed limit
7:00am Wednesday 5th March 2014 in News By Katriona Ormiston
Buy this photo PEOPLE POWER: Family, friends and local residents are campaigning to make Oxford Crescent in Didcot safer after Freddie Perry, aged 10, picture below, was knocked down and killed there
GRIEVING parents of a 10-year-old killed after a car accident outside a Didcot school, said their son sacrificed his life so it never happens again.
Freddie Perry, pictured, died after a collision involving a car driven by a teacher from his sister's school on September 10 last year, near his home in Oxford Crescent.
His parents Judith and Lea Perry are now leading a campaign to try to make the road safer by putting in speed bumps and cutting the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph.
The couple, who are also parents to daughters Eloise, 11, and Rhiannon, 15, say they want to spare other families the pain of a similar loss.
Mr Perry said: "He was the child every parent dreamed to have. We don't want anyone else to go through what we are going through. My son's life was taken, our little boy, and we are left to deal with it.
"Something is going to happen on that road again if nothing is changed.
He added: "We see it that Freddie has given has life so nobody else has to suffer the in the same way we are going through."
The couple said cars parked along the road, and parents who drop their children off at Didcot Girls' School half way down the street, make it very dangerous.
A teacher from Didcot Girls' School – which Freddie's sister Eloise had recently joined – was driving a Nissan Micra involved in the incident in September.
Thames Valley Police spokeswoman Rhianne Pope confirmed that the teacher had been cleared of any blame and was thought to be going well below the 30mph speed limit.
Headteacher of Didcot Girls' School Rachael Warwick said: "As a school, we would certainly welcome the introduction of a 20mph speed limit around the site, although we know this would not have prevented Freddie Perry's tragic accident as the driver was travelling well below the speed limit."
Last year, Freddie's parents called for extra parking spaces to be built into the village green area to increase visibility, which they say was rejected by Oxfordshire County Council.
Mr Perry said: "We are absolutely livid; it is very hard to deal with that – something that was going to be a legacy to stop it happening again has been taken away."
Council spokesman Martin Crabtree said: "The county council has been working with Mrs and Mr Perry, the local county councillor and local community to find a suitable safety solution on Oxford Crescent.
"We think that it should be possible to provide some safety measures. We are still looking at and discussing what would be the right solution."

Perhaps we should all go back to using horse-drawn carriages.
That said, traffic on Wantage Road is only going to get worse once Great Western Park joins up at both ends unless we start to lose our reliance on the motor car.

An for the Perry family there trying to stop the same thing happening to another family, the amount of children that cross between parked cars from one side to the other is shocking and yet we bring our children up and tell them "Never cross between parked cars as you cant always be seen" how ever down oxford crescent there is not choice its full of parked cars to the left of the school. Just seems madness that they are objecting to cutting into the green for one car parking space when it could benefit so many other people in the future, and provide a safer place for our children and future children to cross in the future.

Today I took some of my 7th and 8th graders to compete in the First Lego League robotics competition at The Franklin Institute. There were 19 teams crammed into a small space and my team happened to be sharing a set of lunch tables with another team. Around three hours into the event, someone pointed how to me that the person I vaguely recognized was none other than former Philadelphia Philies Left Fielder Raul Ibanez.
While eating lunch I worked up the courage to speak to him, and just mentioned how amazing it was that he was at the event all day and how important it is for kids to know that careers in STEM fields are just as worthy as professional athletes. He commended me for all I do for my students and we parted ways. However, we continued to run into each other throughout the rest of the day and he even had his camcorder out, getting footage of his son's school. We had various little conversations the whole day and then spoke for about 5 minutes after it was all over and he told me that the greatest moment of the whole day wasn't when his son's team qualified for the next competition (sadly, we did not) but rather when my team was cheering for his team, they started cheering for us, and then we started cheering for the team we were competing with. It was amazing because it was obvious that he truly meant what he was saying and it was a really great way to cap off a disappointing end to the competition.
Awesomely, we won a first place trophy for Team Spirit and Core Values, which just makes everything he said that much more real. Anyway, I just wanted to share that I now have a new favorite former Phillie (move over Jim Thome).

They say the language of love is universal; so too is the lexicon of pampering, the spoken word of the spa. When bundled in collagen blankets, swathed in sea salts or speckled all over with hot therapy stones, even the most vocal spa-goer dissolves into wordless utterances. In Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades, it's especially easy to lose your voice. From sprawling resort spas to intimate boutique experiences, the area offers countless routes to total relaxation. A trip to the spa here will have you immersed in culture as well as the mineral bath. Whether you're on safari in the Everglades or centering your Chi in Feng Shui, the influence of traditional therapies and indigenous ingredients will be felt, all over.
Resort to Relaxation
The Spa at Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort is a full-service health and fitness facility - with an exotic streak. Here the treatments will whisk you away to Bali. Though standard spa services are available, it's the "Sea and Flower Bath" and the "Milk and Honey Soak" in hydrotherapy tubs that are truly transporting. Sumptuous packages allow spa-goers to make a day of it. Especially enticing is the Balinese aphrodisiac treatment, which steeps brides-to-be, couples or any sybarite in fragrant oils. Intensive anti-aging and radiance treatments are tempting as well. And the spa's proximity to the Gulf's refreshing, salt-laced waters serves as a visual relaxation technique.
Florida's subtropical climes and natural beauty inspires The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club's luxury spa. Signature treatments here include "Florida Fruit Fresh Facial" and the "Rainforest Body Scrub," which are offered in traditional, Florida-style surrounds overlooking the Golf Club's championship course. Enhancements like "Sun Kissed Complexion" with its fruit-based autobronzant can be added to preparations. Massages are well represented here too, ranging from Shiatsu to Reiki to "Beach Stone Therapy," a combination of heated stones, aromatherapy oils and Swedish massage. After a "Tropical Marine Body Polish," you'll be hydrated, remineralized and possibly speechless. If you golf first, spa later. Spa treatments for golfers are a deluxe delight.
Want to be a ministered-to goddess? At LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort's SpaTerre, you'll be revived by way of ritual. The "Javanese Lulur Royal Treatment" opens with a Balinese massage with frangipani flower oil, segues to a tumeric-and-jasmine spiked scrub and winds down with a yogurt splash and you floating blissfully in a petal-strewn Japanese bath. Or opt for the "Volcanic Earth Clay Ritual," an elemental detoxifying treatment. SpaTerre's Asiatic approach is detailed, methodic and luxe. Thai rituals are equally seductive, as are a range of standard massage items like the "Pedisage" and the "Massage Medley."
At The Ritz-Carlton, Naples spa, the treatment rooms are as gloriously appointed as the suites. Between the "Meranthus Ocean Synergy Progression," a nutrient-rich indulgence for the body, and the "Ritz-Carlton Signature Experience," a multi-therapy treatment made sweet with oils, you'll have just enough time for a soak in the mineral pool. Or wrap yourself in a robe and unwind on the sundeck. If it's a dose of world-class pampering you're after, an extensive before-treatment consultation with a therapist or the spa concierge bringing fluted champagne should satisfy. Even salon procedurals are high-end experiences, as with the "Citrus and Orchid Manicure and Pedicure."
Decadent Day Spas
The Spa on Fifth saturates spa goers in handmade creams filled with the best homeopathic ingredients and therapies that are faithful to Zen and Feng Shui principles. The spa's aesthetic is a kind of customized harmony. Even the signature "Edimi Facial" is a model of yin and yang, marrying the latest in skincare technology with old reparative methods. B5 vitamin inositol, grape seed extract and Japanese green tea thoroughly heal and relax the skin. For the mind, there's the "Anti-Stress Facial," which treats pulse points, or "Raindrop Therapy," where edible oils like oregano and marjoram are dripped along the spine. The Spa on Fifth offers a "Gentleman's Renewal Facial" as well, a blend of the Oriental, the patently scientific and the just plain sensory.
Want to be truly removed? Everglades Spa-Fari sits among the austere beauty of the Everglades, a unique take on the spa experience. Indulge in an "Everglades Mud Mask" or a "Pumpkin Enzyme Peel," just two items on a menu informed by the landscape and American folk traditions. Among ear candling and colonics, Spa-Fari offers the most current therapies as well, like cranial-sacral massage, a "Ginseng and Pearl Hydrating Mask" and the "Oxygen Facial." Housed in a historic bed and breakfast, the spa combines wellness treatments with rejuvenating "adventures" in the Everglades in innovative packages.
At SeaSide Day Spa on Marco Island, spa-goers are primped and nurtured in a sanctuary setting. Here the goal is simple, unadulterated peace. Classic therapeutic treatments include European facials and seaweed wraps, but signature therapies like the "LaStone Therapy Facial" with warm Basalt stones and the "Cooling Algomask" are smart embellishments on standards. Salon services, as well as men's skincare treatments, microdermabrasion and lavish exfoliation treatments are available too. The spa's approach is personalized and holistic, a wholesome day's retreat.

"It's funny, I've been doing some autograph signings and I've been signing lately 'Jon Jones Champion 2011,' almost as if I've spoken it into existence. I just think it's crazy."
Too soon? Light heavyweight number one contender Jon Jones, who recently admitted he was already referring to himself as "New UFC Light Heavyweight Champion," has taken it one step further by signing autographs as the new 205-pound kingpin. The only problem is he still has to make his dream a reality by defeating reigning division champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 this Saturday night (March 19) in Newark, NJ. Can he back up the comments he made on last night's UFC "Countdown" show and usurp the throne in "Brick City?" Or will the dream become a nightmare against the dangerous Brazilian on fight night? Let's hear your opinions Maniacs, is Jones being confident -- or cocky?

Lois: I just found out your family has a little nickname for me.
Hal: What is it?
Lois: "Lois Common Denominator."
Lois: They have a special program for gifted children. They have advanced textbooks and devoted teachers and all sorts of good things they don`t wanna waste on normal kids.
Malcolm: I did the math once; it turns out, every 17.4 dinners, my family actually has a pleasant meal together.
Malcolm: Mom: 62,437. Kids: 0.
Malcolm: This is the world. 196 million square miles. If I covered 100 square miles every hour for the rest of my life, I`d only see half.
(We see Reese`s nose)
Malcolm: And this is my brother Reese`s left nostril. It squeaks... all night long.
(We see Dewey`s feet)
Malcolm: And these are the feet of our little brother Dewey.
(We see a picture of Francis)
Malcolm: This is my favorite bother, Francis. So naturally, my parents sent him off to military school.
(We see Malcolm)
Malcolm: My name is Malcolm. You want to know the best part about childhood? At some point, it stops.
Lois: There`s nothing wrong with being smart. There`s nothing wrong with being cut from the herd, either. It makes you the one buffalo who isn`t there when the Indians run the rest of them off the cliff.
Malcolm: Huh?
Hal: Dewey, what did I tell you about raw meat?
Dewey: (mouth full of raw meat) I`m not.
Francis: Okay, I`m going to show you guys the coolest thing you have even seen. Get me some lighter fluid, a waffle iron, and one of Dewey`s stuffed animals, the furrier the better.
Lois: Fate is what you call it when you don`t know the name of the person screwing you over.
Commandant Spangler: Ahh, passive resistance. The last resort for slackers and sissies.
Francis: What about Ghandi?
Commandant Spangler: Sissy.
Malcolm: Why are you so happy?
Dewey: Gorak gave me one of his Babies.
Reese: Oh Malcolm, you should see this, Francis is kicking ass.
Malcolm: What happened to this book?
Reese: I threw it at a duck.
Malcolm: Okay, so where`s your math book?
Reese: Which half?
Malcolm: Let`s just start with Geography.
Reese: I don`t TAKE Geography.
Malcolm: Yeah you do, you got a grade in it.
Reese: Oh, that can`t be good.
Reese`s History Teacher: I don`t see why you would sacrifice the good son for, well, Reese.
Lois: You don`t think I would give this one up? Let me tell you something. I would sell Malcolm down the river in a heartbeat for Reese. Sure, he might have to go to Blue Collar or something, but he`ll do fine. Reese is the one who needs saving.
Reese`s History Teacher: Nobody could be that cruel to their own son.
(Francis appears in the window)
Francis: Mom, please let me come home. I`m cold and I`m hungry. Please, I`ll fix the roof, I`ll paint the house. I`ll do anything, Mom, just please let me be warm again.
Dewey: Is Malcolm a robot?
Dabney: If I wanted this kind of abuse, I`d have a conversation with my oboe teacher.
Hal: One man`s garbage is another man`s anniversary present.
(Malcolm is playing the video game "The Sims" with his family)
Malcolm: Why am I five hundred pounds?
Lois: God, they`re just boobs, lady. What`s your problem?
Reese: What am I thinking?
Malcolm: I`m smart, not psychic.
Dewey: Can you understand dogs?
Malcolm: No.
Dewey: (smiles) I can.
Lois: (on phone) Hey, Francis. How`s school?
Francis: Oh, couldn`t be better, Mom. My new roommate showed me how to kill mice with a hammer yesterday, so between that and the general atmosphere of simmering homoeroticism, I think I`m really starting to turn around.
Teacher: Now, kids, Malcolm may not look different from the rest of us, but he is. In his brain.
Hal: So, Dewey, I`m thinking our little
Hal: community needs a school.
Dewey: Don`t need it. Everyone`s born smart.
Hal: Aww, that`s beautiful, son. It`s a utopia.
Dewey: And anyone stupid will be ground up for food.
Hal: Oh. A cannibal utopia. Interesting.
Reese: Happy thoughts, happy thoughts... Puppies, ice cream, fat people falling over...
Dewey`s thoughts: Everyone likes you better than your brothers. Someday, you`re going to be the president of Idaho, and anyone taller than you will be fed to the wolves.
Policeman: What is it you said you`re doing here?
Hal: We`re watching the cat.
Policeman: I don`t see a cat.
Hal: We`re not doing a very good job.
Hal: These are sleeping pills, Dewey. I simply told the doctor I`ve been up the past few nights, things aren`t going well with the wife, afraid I`m going to lose the house... Now don`t you worry, son. Those are just lies I told to get prescription drugs.
Lois: Drink your milk.
Dewey: It`s lumpy.
Lois: Then chew it.
(Reese is holding a spoonful of mashed potatoes, aimed at Lois)
Malcolm: (to the camera) It would take hours to explain the psychology of this event, so I`ll just simplify.
(points to Lois)
Malcolm: Dynamite.
(points to Reese)
Malcolm: Kid with matches.
Otto: Oh. Darling, I didn`t want you to see me in my fury.
Gretchen: Otto, I love your fury. Francis, isn`t his fury magnificent?
Francis: I... try not to look at his fury.
Reese: Dewey. I finally found out why everybody`s been giving you money. There`s this kid who looks just like you and he`s been doing chores for everybody. I knew that everybody must have an evil twin.
Dewey: He`s my evil twin?
Reese: No, Dewey, this kid`s a saint. You`re his evil twin.
Dewey: But, I don`t want to be an evil twin.
Reese: Dewey, shut up. This thing involves money and an evil twin. We got to find a way to make this pay off... Let`s go watch soap operas.
(Malcolm learned to enjoy life and to stop thinking)
Francis: (on the phone) Malcolm, you gotta help me. Is there a scientific way to prove if ice cream can be used as sunscreen?
Malcolm: What`s the flavor?
Francis: I don`t know.
Malcolm: Is it chocolate?
Francis: I don`t know. Why are you asking? Is it going to be different if it`s chocolate?
Malcolm: No. I just like chocolate.
Francis: Uhh, Malcolm, you didn`t find that coffee can in the garage by any chance, did you?
Malcolm: I feel like crap and no one understands. Even you. You`re supposed to be my friend and you don`t even care.
Stevie: And yet... you keep... talking.
Lois: Look at those Parker boys across the street. They may be healthy, but, honest to God, those are the ugliest little boys ever born. They look like boiled beets, don`t you think? And those Henderson kids? They electrocuted their dog when they were trying to get free cable. How smart can they be? Just remember, any kid who makes fun of you is a creepy little loser who will end up working in a car wash.
Malcolm: This shouldn`t make me feel better, but it does.
Malcolm: Now my brain is filled with mom-guilt.
Lois: You are not a weirdo, you are gifted. And if gifted kids are supposed to square-dance, then you`ll do it. Probably teaches you geometry.
(Fixing dinner, Lois drops a roast on the floor, picks it up, begins to brush it off, and turns to find Dewey watching her)
Dewey: Give Reese a slice from the fuzzy side and I didn`t see a thing.
Lois: Deal.
Hal: If you try anything, anything, at all, I will be on you like a rainbow on an oil slick.
Piama: My husband is being disrespected by a woman who isn`t fit to eat the crap between your toes. Someone ought to cut that woman`s belly open with a rusty knife and strangle her with her own entrails."
Francis: I love you, too.
Malcolm: I never even knew we had fancy silverware. When was the last time you used this?
Lois: The night you were conceived. You want more details?
Doctor: (after Dewey`s stomach pump) He`s fine. We didn`t find any candles, but we did find some marbles. And the waistband to a pair of underpants.
Dewey: Don`t ask.
(the end of Francis` bedtime story to a group of young children)
Francis: And the little boy, about your age, was found hanging in the moonlight. Strangled by his own intestines. And there was just enough life left in him to say, (Points at all the children) `YOU`RE NEXT.`
Hal: Think they got a beer guy around here?
Lois: This is a charity event at an elementary school.
Hal: Hmmm, so I guess I gotta go to a stand?
Reese: Since she made fun of your name, you just make fun of hers. What`s her name?
Dewey: Ragina Tucker.
Reese: Hmm, we`ll think of something.
Lois: Hal, this isn`t funny. That behavior isn`t acceptable.
Hal: You`re right. Boys, the next time you drive a golf cart over a catered lunch and into a swimming pool there will be consequences.
Malcolm: When I was six, I dove in a pool and my trunks came off. God, I wish I was there right now.
Malcolm: Sorry, Damn. Stupid. I can`t do it. I`m stupid and I`m terrible. I s*ck at everything... and I`m fat.
(Lois demands Hal get a vasectomy)
Hal: Those parts mean a lot to me.
Lois: You`re not that guy, Hal. You never were that guy.
Hal: When it comes to this, every guy is that guy.
Malcolm: That`s the way discussions go down in this family. I tell them my needs, and they say no. Then dad reveals another cartoon character he`s afraid of.
Lois: Oh, come on, Malcolm. If we only looked at stuff we could afford, all we would ever see is crap.

Officers evacuated a motel in Blue Springs as part of the investigation into a car jacking in Leawood, authorities said Friday.
Blue Springs police said that officers about 9 a.m. Friday surrounded America's Best Value Inn, which is at 901 NW Jefferson St. The motel is near Interstate 70 and Highway 7.
Leawood and Blue Springs police went to the motel while looking for suspects in a carjacking that happened late Thursday night. When no one answered the door, Blue Springs police said officers evacuated the motel and set up the command operations. Officers obtained a warrant so they could enter the room and gather evidence.
Police took four people into custody for questioning. The four were being held on charges unrelated to the Leawood car theft.
A fifth person was questioned and then released.
About 10:30 p.m. Thursday, three white men in their 20s approached a Leawood man in his driveway near 143rd Terrace and Windsor Circle in Leawood. The man had just arrived at his home and the suspects pulled in right behind him.
"Three men got out and said, 'My friend has been shot," said Leawood Capt. Kevin Cauley.
The men asked to use the Leawood resident's vehicle. The frightened man tried to turn off the vehicle as the suspects fled in his silver 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The man was not injured and no weapons were displayed.
"The victim was a little shaken up but he's doing fine," the police captain said.
A second vehicle was left at the scene, but no evidence was found inside supporting the claims of a shooting.
"They just use the ruse, 'my friend has been shot' and the next thing you know they hop in the guy's car and take off," Cauley said.
The stolen Jeep was found at the Blue Springs motel early Friday morning. The Jeep was returned to its rightful owner later in the day.
About 10 p.m. Thursday, Johnson County Sheriff's Office worked a call in the 15600 block of Overbrook Lane in which men approached a woman in her vehicle and tried to steal it under the same ruse. They were unsuccessful and it's believed to be related to the Leawood carjacking, authorities tell KCTV5.
