Di Fara Expanding with Take Out Shop Mid-April
The Midwood, Brooklyn staple is opening a takeout joint a couple doors down

Italian pizza/pasta lovers have been geeking out all day over a Facebook post this morning over news of the expansion of Brooklyn cult classic Di Fara Pizza. In a Facebook status update, the restaurant announce, "[Di Fara] is happy to announce that several doors down we will be opening a tiny take out place offering all our old menu items that so many have been missing. We will have pasta, heros, salad and more. We expect to open mid April. All our products will use the finest and freshest ingredients as we always do at [Di Fara]... please, no questions at this time... Will update as we see fit ! Thank you... Happy April !"
Vague opening date and menu items aside, New York's media circus are flipping out over the news, as Dom Demarco and his family behind the Midwood, Brooklyn, N.Y. location hasn't served up pasta dishes in at least 10 years, Eater reports. The original Di Fara has been open since 1964, serving up legendary Sicilian-style pizza to the masses lined up outside.
Di Fara isn't up for answering specific questions yet, but we can only hope that this will alleviate those long lines, expediting the amount of time it takes to get Dom's food to our mouths.

In the nick of time for your family
weekend outing to the theme park of your choice, we just got off the
phone with David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for Occupational
Safety and Health (a.k.a. OSHA), who has lately been issuing some
strong words to the entertainment industry, which includes funplexes
like Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld. Forget your own experiences
with neck-snapping rollercoasters and hand-biting dolphins in the
petting pond for a moment, and focus on the plight of amusement park
workers. While we always sympathized with ride gatekeepers wilting
outside in summer's high noon sun, OSHA had more serious reasons for
taking a second look at conditions for these workers, as well as those
in theaters and movie studios. "In recent months OSHA has seen the deaths of several workers in
the entertainment industry, those deaths were caused by hazardous
conditions," said Michaels. "It has become clear to us that hazardous
conditions exist across the industry," he continued. Though he couldn't name names due to a
pending investigations, we're guessing the recent death of Dawn
Brancheau, a SeaWorld trainer pulled underwater by a killer whale, made a
big blip on the OSHA radar. Once the investigation is released, we'll
be interested in whether Brancheau's death gets treated as a "willful
violation" of worker safety, subject to the highest OSHA violation fine
of $70,000. Michaels, again speaking generally, said such violations are
based on reasonable employer knowledge that something is dangerous. We
wondered if that knowledge could encompass previous similar
circumstances. "Oh absolutely," said Michaels.
We asked because people like Naomi Rose at the Humane Society International and others in anti-animal captivity organizations have argued for years that previous fatal and severely injurious interactions between trainers and captive marine animals prove the behavior isn't a fluke. After SeaWorld San Diego trainer Kenneth Peters was dragged underwater by another killer whale in 2007, escaping with puncture wounds and a broken foot, the California division of OSHA issued a report stating it was "only a matter of time," before a fatality like Brancheau's occurred. The department later rewrote the report to "only stick to the facts," after engaging in two days of talks with SeaWorld management. Tilikum, the whale that dragged Brancheau, had been involved with two previous trainer fatalities. Last weekend, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals staged a protest outside of SeaWorld San Antonio highlighting, among other things, this very fact.
Whether SeaWorld gets cited for a "willful" OSHA violation, a more common violation carrying an up to $7,000 fine, or no violation at all, Michaels wants establishments like SeaWorld (and convention centers, theaters and amusement parks) to know OSHA has its good eye on them, and if Congress passes the Protecting America's Workers Act to increase penalties for OSHA violators, the entertainment industry will not be spared. "A human life is worth a lot more than $7,000," said Michaels. "You can quote me on that."

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
International Comix is a comic site featuring drawings in nine different languages. You can see the full list of languages to the right, but suffice to say that they include all major European tongues (ha! ha!). The comics include a range of popular themes, including sci-fi, schoolgirls, and of course, hot chicks having sex.
Multi-lingual collection of comics.
International Comix stands out from other adult cartoon sites on two fronts, and both are made clear in the site's name. To begin with, they offer comics in nine different languages. It's also noteworthy that they stick with European languages. Often if we're going to find different languages on a toon site those languages are Asian. I don't see Greek cartoons very often! The other unique feature is that stick largely to comics, with storylines, rather than individual drawings. They do offer the latter, as well, but more of the action is comics.
Large collection.
International Comix has been around for three years so they've had time to put together a good-sized site. There are over 100,000 photos in their collection, so there's plenty to keep members entertained.
Other Good Stuff:
Some non-exclusive material.
In fact, I have no idea how much of the content here is exclusive, if any is at all. No information is provided for any of the scenes, so I have no way of knowing who the artists are and if these scenes are original or not.
Membership is on the high side. It'll cost you $35 a month to be a member of International Comix. You get a lot for your money, but it's still pricey.
Needs more browse tools.
The only actual organization here is by language. They do make it easy to find the Italian scenes or German scenes, etc. But other than that, there are no categories, no way to search the content, no way to see the most popular scenes, not even a list of the most recently added scenes! Navigation is far too basic.
Minor Negatives:
An interesting look at European comics but the site is overpriced and basic.
Though European surfers may appreciate the many languages offered by International Comix, that's about all the site has going for it. That and sheer size. Otherwise, the site wasn't user-friendly, content quality was average, I'm unsure about updates, and the price is sky-high. If you really want to see some foreign language comics, then I suppose you'll have to pay the high price to check out International Comix. If language is irrelevant to you (or if you are an English-speaker), there are plenty of other more user-friendly comic sites that are much cheaper.

In an apparent attempt to distract themselves from their current dismal display, the Ducks are raising money for men's cancer awareness by…
… wait for it …
Growing moustaches.
Yes, friends and fans, you read that right. Georgie is spearheading this 30-day endeavor by starting from scratch (doesn't he look cute?) and will be judging 12 teammates on their completed 'staches. Judging by the ages of most of the participants, all I have to say is, BRING ON THE PEACH FUZZ!
I think Brookbank has the best chance of winning this challenge.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that the Ducks are one of the most active and vocal teams in terms of supporting charities, kids, etc., but we've got bigger problems to deal with than growing moustaches for "Movember".
Yes, that's the actual word they're using and quite frankly, it doesn't make me think of moustaches, men or contributing to a cause.
From the Ducks official website:
"My teammates and I are excited to join this great cause," said Parros. "It's a fun way to bring awareness to cancers affecting men. I look forward to seeing what kind of 'staches our team can produce."
Ducks teammates participating in Movember with Parros include: Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Sheldon Brookbank, Curtis McElhinney, Ryan Carter, Kyle Chipchura, Danny Syvret, Cam Fowler, Troy Bodie, Todd Marchant, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu
In addition, Parros will serve as the presiding judge for a moustache-growing contest being hosted by Gino Reda of "That's Hockey," a popular daily hockey magazine show aired on Canadian sports network, TSN. In support of "Movember," Reda will grow a moustache of his own to compete with other NHL players to see who can grow the best 'stache in a contest ultimately decided by Parros. George will serve as a guest on "That's Hockey" multiple times throughout November.
This is not the first time Parros has used his moustache for a good cause. Parros also uses his popular moustache as the namesake of 'Stache Gear, his own apparel line which raises funds for the Childhood Leukemia Foundation and Teammates for Kids. All items in his apparel line include his moustache as the logo. All items from the apparel line retail exclusively in the Ducks Team Store.

Review: Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack
A few weeks ago, I got a chance to join the Butterfly Project- Beauty Bloggers – Himalaya Product Sharing Session. I am well aware of Himalaya products and a great fan of the brand's Conditioner. If you have never heard of it, Himalaya Herbals is a range of natural, effective and safe products that use special herbs carefully selected from nature. I love products which contain herbal ingredients and when I found out that Himalaya Neem Face Pack contains Neem, I really couldn't wait to try it when I got it.
First of all, you might be wondering what is Neem… Well, Neem (Azadirachta indic a) is an Indian lilac tree from the mahogany family. I remember when I was young, I had chicken pox, so my parents asked me to sleep on a white sheet with neem leaves on it coz the leaves are known to treat chicken pox. In fact, Indians love to plant a neem tree outside their house because it is known to keep diseases away. In fact, every part of the neem tree is very useful for various things.
So,I knew a face pack that contains neem, definitely would do good to my face. The Neem Face Pack which also contains turmeric and Fuller's Earth helps to clean clogged pores, rejuvenates and firms up your skin. The antibacterial properties in Neem and turmeric helps eliminate acne that causing bacteria while Fuller's Earth cools and soothes the skin. It is suitable for normal to oily skin.
At first, when I squeezed some pack on my hand, my first thought was, 'It look similar to GlamGlow' which is a dark paste. The reason why the paste is dark in colour because of the 'neem'. Caution : Please shake the tube well before pumping out the paste because it might come out a little watery if you don't shake it first. I love the smell of the pack but if you are someone who has sensitive nose, the smell can be overwhelming. Even after removing the pack off my face, the fragrance smell was still there on my skin. It is quite rejuvenating actually.
Directions : Apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes. I just put on a very thin layer and I had apply it really quick because unlike other masks or packs, this one tends to dry really fast. After applying, allow to dry for 10 minutes, then you can remove with a wet sponge and wash with cool water. It is best if you remove it using a wet sponge. I didn't have a wet sponge, so I just used a clean wet towel to remove the pack. Make sure you rub the towel/sponge gently when removing the pack, you don't want to cause saggy skin later It is suggested that you use the mask twice a week but I have a sensitive and dry skin, so using it once a week is good enough for me.
I felt my skin was a lot smoother and I felt that my moisturiser absorbed better after applying Neem Face Pack. I also love the fact that the face pack fragrance smell was still there and it was really nice to walk around with the nice smell… hahaha… I realised that my pores are getting smaller too. If you are wondering, how long the product will last, it is expected to last about 6 months (expiry date from the date of opening).
Retail Price = RM27.90 (150ml)
Himalaya Neem Face Pack is sold in Himalaya Herbal Stores at Suria KLCC, Mid Valley Megamall, 1 Utama, Sunway Pyramid, Empire Shopping Gallery, Setia City Mall, IOI Mall, Mines Shopping Fair, Wangsa Walk Mall, AEON – Taman Maluri, Ipoh Parade, Aeon Bandaraya (Melaka), AEON Tebrau City (JB), Gurney Plaza (Penang), Queensbay Mall (Penang), Sunway Carnival (Seberang Prai), East Cost Mall (Kuantan), Wisma Merdeka (Kota Kinabalu), The Spring (Kuching) and Palm Mall (Seremban)

Pfizer's $11 Billion Buyback Plan: What Does It Mean For Future Acquisitions?
Kanak Kanti De • Tue, Oct. 28 • 2 Comments
- Pfizer announced an $11 billion buyback program last week.
- The announcement of the buyback program means that Pfizer is not likely to announce a fresh offer for AstraZeneca.
- Even without a tax inversion deal, I think Pfizer remains a buy at current level.

When we were little girls we loved to dress our dolls up in different outfits and pretend we were taking them to lots of fancy, grown-up places like restaurants and tea parties and best of all, WEDDINGS!!! We're big girls now but that impulse to dress up and pretend still remains, so when we realized that we needed to update our cake portfolio a bit, we were psyched at the opportunity to dress up our cakes in some of our favorite, most beautiful styles and pretend we were taking them to the most fabulous weddings around.
When we're actually making, transporting, and setting up wedding cakes, the last thing on our mind is snapping a pic. Usually we snap one or two quick ones at the end which are great for the gram but not so great for a pro-fesh portfolio, if you're pickjn' up what we're puttin' down. Luckily for us, Liza happens to be a pretty freaking fantastic photographer, Meghan is the best baker around (you know this), and Marley is a great babysitter. Whaaat? That's right – Liza just had a baby and when mama's gotta work, she needs some help with the little man!
So here's a little behind-the-scenes look at our cake photo shoot and some of the beeeautiful cakes that we'll be adding to our portfolio. For all of you single ladies out there, we want you to know that one of the best perks of single life is that Crema wedding cakes keep getting better and better by the year, so the longer you hold out for the most awesome partner possible, the more spectacular your cake will be when you finally deem him worthy to marry you. So keep your standards high and your eyes on the prize, ladies!

Over at OaklandClubhouse.com the Minor League Notebook is chock full of the good stuff. Not only do you get the inside scoop on the latest addition to the big league club's bullpen, but Senior Editor Melissa Lockard breaks down the four newest members of the organization, including the lefty starter some believe could be the next Barry Zito.
Tyler Clippard has been sent back down, and Phil Hughes is on the DL, but the cupboard isn't bare, as PinstripesPlus.com editor Patrick Teale found out in his Q&A with Scott Aldred the pitching coach for the Yanks Double-A club, the Trenton Thunder.
The Diamondbacks loved him, the Phillies had him, and then it seemed nobody wanted him. Over on our Cubs site, InsideTheIvy.com, find out why Josh Kroeger Makes A Lasting Impression in an exclusive interview with the talented outfielder.
There has never been any secret about the Minnesota Twins farm system. They produce players, and they believe in depth. That's why the Twin Cities Dugout Player of the Week is such a tough call each and every week.
Of course the Cleveland Indians have done alright with the youngsters, so every year baseball fans take a look at the Indians draft picks and wonder who the next Victor Martinez or Grady Sizemore is. Could it be outfielder Adam White? Lefty hurler Garrett Rieck? Or could it be one of the three others among Five Mid-Range Draft Picks IndiansInk.com profiles.
Detroit is hot, and one has to figure that Andrew Miller will go ahead and trade his top spot on the weekly Power Rankings for a spot on the big league roster. None the less that does leave a spot open, find out who took over the #1 slot, as well as the rest of the top 15 in the Tigers organization.
At 25 years old Bob McCrory may be a little behind the curve, but his electrifying arm has the editors of our Baltimore site, InsidetheWarehouse.com hyped up now that he's Happy and Healthy. This right hander has overcome injury, rumor, and come through with his talent, drive, and future intact. An intimate chat with the Mississippi native sheds some light on what has kept him going.
Finally we end where we began, with the draft. Over at MadFriars.com the staff doesn't wait until the prospect is signed. He won't turn 19 until December, and he's not even sure if he'll be pitching for the Padres or the Florida Gators next season, but righthander Tommy Toledo is already talking to the staff of our San Diego site, giving fans a taste of what might be to come.
Is that all? Of course not, head to The Scout.com MiLB Homepage to find your favorite team, player, or just to get the latest inside news from Scout.com, and be sure to come back next week for Around the Horn.

Let's forget about what happened over the weekend and give the Chicago White Sox a mulligan for how they played against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, because now the Detroit Tigers are waiting for the "Good Guys."
The White Sox are about to begin a four-game series against the Tigers, who are in front of the White Sox by 4.5 games in AL Central standings.
Chicago is 31-33 overall (fourth in the AL Central) and the Tigers lead the division at 33-26.
Tonight's pitching matchup will be Rick Porcello (8-3, 3.69 ERA) against Hector Noesi (1-3, 3.92 ERA). Hopefully it isn't another long night for the White Sox.
Looks like tonight the White Sox have an uphill battle against the division leaders, expecially if they play like they did on Friday and Sunday against the Angels.

This tweet a a couple days old, but still is relevant:

Gusty winds are causing blowing and drifting snow in all eight counties of District 5. This is resulting in some routes being partly covered again. With the exception of Jefferson and Spencer counties, crews are salting and plowing while reporting partly covered to mostly covered routes.
Jefferson County has a few icy spots and crews are treating those areas. Spencer County crews are pushing back slush along the shoulders.
In some areas our contract crews have been released from duty. KYTC will have road crews on duty all night to treat roadways as needed. Motorists need to be aware of potential for black ice and slow down.

Pungent pear and yellow plum aromas, with smoky mineral and citrus zest nuances adding energy. Gently sweet citrus marmalade and pear nectar flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity, picking up a toasty, leesy quality with aeration. Juicy orange and pear flavors linger on the long, vibrant, toasty finish.

With One Day out this week, we're taking a look back at the highs, the lows and the Bride Wars of Anne Hathaway's career.Check out our full list here…
August 17 2011
3. Ennis Del Mar vs. E.T.The Movie Cowboy: One half of Brokeback Mountain's forbidden coupling, Heath Ledger's rugged sheep-herder is a man's man who just so happens to prefer the company of men in all elements of his life. An emotional pressure-cooker, he could explode at the least provocation.The Movie Alien: Cuddly E.T. is one of the friendliest aliens you could ever hope to meet. Whilst most of his intergalactic brethren are lording it with their ray-guns, he's never happier than when reviving a dying flower. Awww.If They Fought: E.T. might be a loveable soul, but he's no fighter. Ennis, on the other hand, has thrown more than a few punches in his time…The Winner: The bout is called a no-contest as the two gently weep on each other's shoulders. The crowd angrily demands their money back as the two shake hands and leave arm in arm. Sample Dialogue: [Del Mar] "I wish I knew how to quit you." [E.T.] "I'm off home in a bit. I'm sure you'll manage."
July 18 2011
45. William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996)The Kissers: Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes). The Kiss: A joyful tumble from balcony to swimming pool after a fancy dress ball, with both still dressed in their highly symbolic costumes. He's a knight, she's an angel. Passion Or Romance: Seriously, you need to ask? You didn't learn about these star cross'd lovers in school?
April 6 2011
19. Alice in Wonderland (2010)Tim Burton's adaptation of Lewis Carroll's children's classic opened to distinctly mixed reviews, but it's unlikely that anyone involved was too bothered about that, as it went on to gross over $1 billion at the box office.It's searching for a plot, and could've done with a gutsier heroine (imagine if it had have been Hathaway playing Alice), but the visuals are enough to keep you distracted for the running time. And Hathaway is spot-on as the White Queen: pale, poised, otherworldly and just a little nuts.Anne Hath-A-Way with… Nigella Lawson impressions, as Burton instructed her to channel the domestic goddess.

Reading and Finding The Main Idea Help (page 2)
Introduction to Finding the Main Idea
Just as there's a motive behind every crime, there's also a motive behind every piece of writing.
All writing is communication. A writer writes to convey his or her thoughts to an audience, the reader: you. Just as you have something to say (a motive) when you pick up the phone to call someone, writers have something to say (a motive) when they pick up a pen or pencil to write. Where a detective might ask, "Why did the butler do it?" the reader might ask, "Why did the author write this? What idea is he or she trying to convey?" What you're really asking is, "What is the writer's main idea?"
Finding the main idea is much like finding the motive of the crime. It's the motive of the crime (the why) that usually determines the other factors (the who, what, when, where, and how). Similarly, in writing, the main idea also determines the who, what, when, and where the writer will write about, as well as how he or she will write.
Subject vs. Main Idea
There's a difference between the subject of a piece of writing and its main idea. To see the difference, look again at the passage about the postal system. Don't skip over it! You read it in Lesson 1, but please read it again, and read it carefully.
Today's postal service is more efficient and reliable than ever before. Mail that used to take months to move by horse and foot now moves around the country in days or hours by truck, train, and plane. First-class mail usually moves from New York City to Los Angeles in three days or less. If your letter or package is urgent, the U.S. Postal Service offers Priority Mail and Express Mail services. Priority Mail is guaranteed to go anywhere in the United States in two to three days or less. Express Mail will get your package there overnight.
You might be asked on a standardized test, "What is the main idea of this passage?"
For this passage, you might be tempted to answer, "the post office."
But you'd be wrong.
This passage is about the post office, yes—but "the post office" is not the main idea of the passage. "The post office" is merely the subject of the passage (who or what the passage is about). The main idea must say something about this subject. The main idea of a text is usually an assertion about the subject. An assertion is a statement that requires evidence ("proof") to be accepted as true.
The main idea of a passage is an assertion about its subject, but it is something more: It is the idea that also holds together or controls the passage. The other sentences and ideas in the passage will all relate to that main idea and serve as "evidence" that the assertion is true. You might think of the main idea as a net that is cast over the other sentences. The main idea must be general enough to hold all of these ideas together.
Thus, the main idea of a passage is
- an assertion about the subject.
- the general idea that controls or holds together the paragraph or passage.
Look at the postal service paragraph once more. You know what the subject is: "the post office." Now, see if you can determine the main idea. Read the passage again and look for the idea that makes an assertion about the postal service and holds together or controls the whole paragraph. Then answer the following question:
Which of the following sentences best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
- Express Mail is a good way to send urgent mail.
- Mail service today is more effective and dependable than it was in the past.
- First-class mail usually takes three days or less.
Because choice a is specific—it tells us only about Express Mail—it cannot be the main idea. It does not encompass the rest of the sentences in the paragraph—it doesn't cover Priority Mail or first-class mail. Choice c is also very specific. It tells us only about first class mail, so it, too, cannot be the main idea.
But choice b—"Mail service today is more effective and dependable than it was in the past"—is general enough to encompass the whole passage. And the rest of the sentences support the idea that this sentence asserts: Each sentence offers "proof" that the postal service today is indeed more efficient and reliable. Thus, the writer aims to tell us about the efficiency and reliability of today's postal service.
TIP: If you are having trouble identifying the main ideas in a story, try asking yourself these questions:
What unifying concept is the author striving to communicate?
Is there a moral or lesson that the author is trying to teach?
Are there any reoccurring symbols or imagery that the author is using to communicate a deeper meaning?
Topic Sentences
You'll notice that in the paragraph about the postal service, the main idea is expressed clearly in the first sentence: "Today's postal service is more efficient and reliable than ever before." A sentence, such as this one, that clearly expresses the main idea of a paragraph or passage is often called a topic sentence.
In many cases, as in the postal service paragraph, the topic sentence is at the beginning of the paragraph. You will also frequently find it at the end. Less often, but on occasion, the topic sentence may be in the middle of the passage. Whatever the case, the topic sentence—like "Today's postal service is more efficient and reliable than ever before"—is an assertion, and it needs "proof." The proof is found in the facts and ideas that make up the rest of the passage. (Not all passages provide such a clear topic sentence that states the main idea. Less obvious passages will come up in later lessons.)
Identifying Topic Sentences Practice and Answers
Remember that a topic sentence is a clear statement of the main idea of a passage; it must be general enough to encompass all the ideas in that passage, and it usually makes an assertion about the subject of that passage. Knowing all that, you can answer the following question even without reading a passage.
Practice 1
Which of the following sentences is general enough to be a topic sentence?
- The new health club has a great kickboxing class.
- Many different classes are offered by the health club.
- Pilates is a popular class at the health club.
- The yoga class is offered on Saturday mornings.
The answer is choice b, "Many different classes are offered by the health club." Choices a, c, and d are all specific examples of what is said in choice b, so they are not general enough to be topic sentences.
Practice 2
Now look at the following paragraph. Underline the sentence that expresses the main idea, and notice how the other sentences work to support that main idea.
Erik always played cops and robbers when he was a boy; now, he's a police officer. Suzanne always played school as a little girl; today, she is a high-school math teacher. Kara always played store; today, she owns a chain of retail clothing shops. Long before they are faced with the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" some lucky people know exactly what they want to do with their lives.
Which sentence did you underline? You should have underlined the last sentence: "Long before they are faced with the question 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' some lucky people know exactly what they want to do with their lives." This sentence is a good topic sentence; it expresses the idea that holds together the whole paragraph. The first three sentences—about Erik, Suzanne, and Kara—are specific examples of these lucky people. Notice that the topic sentence is found at the end of the paragraph.

Sure, go for it -- it will still be a lovely soup without the saffron, and you can always add other seasonings to taste.

Moncler got big by making ski jackets, but they got really big by making them fashionable. Founded in 1952 by René Ramillon as a mountaineering outfitters, their puffy quilted jackets are now available in every colour under the sun (Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have matching red ones) and can come with fluffy hoods and shiny fabrics, should you so please. Pharrell Williams teamed up with creative director Remo Ruffini in 2010, creating camo body warmers out of the performer's eco friendly Bionic Yarn and now there's a Moncler Lunettes featuring Pharrell's eyewear range happening, too. The best thing about Moncler, though? Their sense of humour. There's only so many ways you can sell a ski jacket so they got a team of golden retrievers in mini Moncler jackets to do it for them – and it worked. The shows are pretty epic, too.

A Justin Bieber Gets Arrested & A Car Hit By A Meteorite – In The Stupid News
May 28, 2014 7:01 AM
Kelli GreenRead More
A man with the name Justin Bieber got arrested over the weekend. Plus a man claims he was hit by a meteorite.
Justin Bieber was arrested in Nashville. No, not the Justin you're thinking of. This 30 year old Justin Bieber was arrested on Monday outside of a Nashville bar for public intoxication.
A man was driving home from work in Kettering, Ohio when he felt something hit his car. He said he felt a pop and then the air pressure in his car changed and his ears popped. When he examined his car, there was a huge dent on his bumper. He thinks he was hit by a meteorite. Scientists say it possible, because there was a meteor shower. They say it's rare,but it could have happened.

When I had a goal of walking a quarter marathon, I walked.
When I had a goal of swimming from Alcatraz to the mainland (until it sold out and I missed out) I swam.
When I was headed toward my 20 year class reunion and hating the idea that I was soooo heavy, I lost weight.
It's strange. I set a goal, I work toward the goal and *gasp* I accomplish things. It's just astonishing. *eye roll*
It's time to reboot my reboot, which was totally hosed by my work getting in the way (it's hard to reboot when you don't have time even have time for adequate sleep). Time to get the show back on the road!
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving in. I may be up a few pounds, but in the immortal words of Lindsey Buckingham (I saw him live a few weeks ago) "I'm Never Going Back Again". It sounds better when he sings it than when I say it.
The point is that this is a marathon, not a sprint. A half marathon, a slow marathon, but a marathon kind of deal all the same.
I started this whole thing, mentally at least, about 13 months ago. At that time I was a dirty smoker. I couldn't swim more than 2 lengths at a time and 15-20 total. I weighed over 300 pounds. I was headed toward shopping at Omar the Tent Maker's Clothing Emporium. My self esteem was total crap. I felt like a failure as a female for my inability to get knocked up. On and on and on. You should have heard my internal monologue... actually, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.
Anywho, I'm up a few pounds, but relative to this time last year, I'm seeing wins all around.
I did a quarter marathon this year. WIN. I couldn't do 3.2 mph for an entire hour before.
I can swim a mile without batting an eye and I've had to buy a new smaller suit. WINNNNNNNN.
I have tried yoga and Zumba and running and spinning and kickboxing.
I've learned that my skin and my hair and my mood are all improved by "eating clean."
With the exception of a lovely cigar last month, I'm smoke free and not quite irrationally pleased about it. Insanely pleased, but not irrationally. :)
Did I mention that I actually like exercising? Seriously. This is a stunning development and may result in some sort of "we interrupt this programming" kind of event. Seriously. I like to exercise. Whodathunkit? Check it: I miss exercise when I can't do it. Freakish, huh?
I've done some intensive internal work on how I talk to myself. A lot. It was harder than getting my large self on the treadmill at unholy hours, but I did it. I'm prouder of that than I am of the smaller pant size.
So as much as I am completely underwhelmed by my current stall and small gain, I'm pretty freaking overjoyed when I compare today with this time last year. (If you know me at all, you know that it can be really hard for me to set aside my overachiever ways and look at the bright side, so this is a major accomplishment.)
Digress, digress, digress.... as usual. Ooooh, shiny things.
I need goals, big ones. Little ones. Meaningful ones. Motivating goals. I need to have a goal that is important enough to me that when I think about it, I put down the fork. A goal that helps me say, "No thank you, I'd rather not have that delicious cupcake, sprinkled with cracktacular goodness of indescribable tonguejoy, I'd prefer to be thin."
So, here is a partial list for 2012, which I will need to add on to rather extensively:
5Ks. Lots of them. Warm ones, cold ones, fast ones, slow errrr, faster ones, lots of ones where I don't have to dodge people with strollers. 5ks for good causes. 5ks for silly reasons (we have a dead celebrity run around here somewhere).
I'd will jog/run an entire 5k in 2012 without having a massive heart attack and dying or wetting myself during the race.
Half marathon, I may not run/jog the whole thing, but I'm doing one. Preferably The Pig in Cincy. It's possible, Pig. (Slipping Princess Bride references into my writing whenever humanly possible isn't ADD, it's just who I am.)
Swim from Alcatraz to the mainland. I'd like to do the Sharkfest, but with school and such I'm going to take what I can get on whatever date I can get it.
Weight that starts with a 1.
Be able to do a yoga inversion. A cool one. One that makes me feel all yogini and such. A handstandy type one maybe. The kind of thing that makes new yoga people look at more experienced yoga people and think, "I could never do that."
I want my belly to be far smaller, so it quits getting in the way of yoga poses.
I intend to meet some Spark peeps, who may be disappointed that I'm not funny in person. Has anyone heard of a meetup for 2012?
My final goal is to fail miserably at all of my weight loss goals in 2012. My biggest goal is to gain 10 pounds in 2012. I plan to fail, and be bigger around than I have been in my entire life. I intent to be ginormous in 2012. I plan to get pregnant.
Anyone else looking forward to 2012 with some goal setting?
Woke Up at 0730 on sleep in day. Boo! But feeling perky all the same.
Perkily decided $110 was too much to spend on having my hair colored. Colored hair myself.
Went to hot yoga. Sad that tomorrow's advanced class is cancelled, happy to be at hot yoga.
Had horrific foot cramps (this has happened before) the first 25 minutes of class.
Realization: Not hydrating well enough means foot cramps. May also need calcium supplement to make cramps stop. In words of yoga instructor, "not everybody gets cramps in the same place, for you it may be your feet, for someone else, it may be their hamstrings."
Take new vehicle for "complimentary" car wash (complimentary may be a stretch when you consider how much a car costs).
While waiting for car to be washed, spot self in mirror. Immediately call salon and beg for assistance.
Salon Appointment: $158 for "corrective color action" to somewhat fix my hair.
Lunch @ PF Chang's with Mom and Sister and Nephew Eli and behave myself eating low fat items. Mom and sister refrain from hair remarks under threat of death.
Reflect on hair fixing genius and her statement, "I bet you're never going to do this again."
Almost forgot to blog today, after I said I would (try) for 7 days straight. So my first success is remembering to blog.
I acquired a gel seat for bike riding. My butt made me do it. I figure it can't hurt, and since eleventy billion Sparkers said it was a good idea, the $10 seemed like a small price to pay for butt relief. I violated my personal code of ethics by buying the dang thing in a store that I have sworn to not shop in, so this should tell you how much my hindquarters are barking.
I ate all vegan all day today and yesterday, which is a good thing, mostly because I hate myself for at least five days after having a non-vegan meal. Why you ask? Because my pits stink for 5 freaking days. No animal products = pits like angel farts. Animal products = stinky body. I never noticed before doing the Eat to Live thing, but now I do. Same thing with poo, if you were wondering, which I highly doubt.
Unfortunately realization #1.
I have to stop eating in restaurants. Period. I think my new rule shall be "if you can't track it, don't eat it." Or maybe I should just limit myself to one restaurant meal a week. I could save bazillions of dollars and spend it all on some awesome thing that I can't live without to be determined at a later date. Hmmmm. I bet if I quit chowing in restaurants long enough I could buy something nutty like a bike rack for my car. It might take a whole week or two, at the rate that I've been inhaling crack-food from fat pushers.
Anywho, I think restaurant eating is a big part of my weight stall, because unless I'm eating some low fat low calorie soup at Panera (which is still unholy high in sodium) I'm eating far more calories than I should.
Seriously, vegan or not, all restaurants make their food tasted yummylicious the same way--they add fat, and sugar, and more fat, and white flour and salt, some fat, maybe some MSG and then a sprinkle of, you guessed it, fat. This is a problem for my giant butt. The giant butt problem is that I don't want to have a giant butt, and restaurants are getting in the way. Fact. I hate this realization. I love restaurants. I love "perfect oatmeal" from Starbucks with a grande Awake tea soy latte with vanilla syrup. I love Szechuan green beans with tofu. I love all kinds of stuff that is really derailing my progress. I love vegetarian spring rolls and fried rice and apparently I love anything that can clog my arteries or make me ginormously fat. Boo. Booooooooooo. Don't even get me started on Pei Wei.
Dear fatty restaurant food,
I don't love you enough to stay fat the rest of my life to have you.
Jenn's Giant Ass
I think I've known this whole restaurant thing all along and chose to ignore it. No more denying it, besides, my fridge full of freggies is a waste if I don't eat at home.
So today I shared a true fact of weight loss with a friend, and she looked at me like I was a weight loss messiah, a SuperJenn, a veritable Jenn Craig with a different last name, so I wanted to share the factoid with you.
Here we go, it's a goodie, so hold on, here it comes...
**When buying Halloween candy for distribution to oddly dressed minors, buy candy you don't like. That way, if there is some left over, there is no temptation.
See, I'm a bleeping genius!!!
So how did you like that? Pretty impressive, wasn't it? But wait, I have more!
**The vast majority of adults can't tell the difference between hunger and thirst, therefore it is a good idea to stay well hydrated throughout the day and when in doubt, have a big fat glass of water 20 minutes before a meal. (Medical fact isn't nearly as much fun as Halloween candy tips).
**TMI factoid: your pee should be very light yellow/colorless and clear if you are well hydrated.
But wait, there is more! If you act now, you can get another tip at the amazing rate of only $19.99, shipping and handling are extra!
One of my favorites:
**Take a salad to a potluck/carry-in/work buffet. That way you have no excuses for mashing naughty food into your face when you can start out by piling a plate with salad (or some other healthy dish).
Ok, so I shared my tips. Do you have some? I'd like to hear them! Really, I would.
The problem with tips is that sometimes it is hard to know if they are true or bogus.
I'm totally guilty of hearing a tip and doing a search of medical literature to see if it has a foundation in fact. For example: Drink coconut water, it is high in potassium and in a pinch you can use it as an IV fluid. Now doesn't that sound like a tip that came flying out of the bull$hit factory? Well, it's actually true. I hope I never get a coconut infusion. Ever.
Starvation mode? Largely a product of the behind of a large mammal named a bull, but also involves a long and detailed argument that I don't want to enter into here.
Some I haven't researched or haven't made up my mind about:
I'd love to know if the one about not losing weight as quickly if you swim as when you burn the same number of calories doing other exercise is true.
Does working out in the am really mean you burn more calories all day? (I hope so)
Is it true that being on your period means your metabolism is in high gear? (I doubt it)
Is it true most women can only gain about a pound of muscle a month, so the whole "you're gaining muscle" argument is largely for making cowpies?
Anyway, share your tip, I'd love to hear them. Pretty please? With no aspartame on top? I promise I won't search for them in the medical journals, unless they seem absurd, and then I will search, but I won't tell anyone.
My butt is extremely displeased with me right now. Last night, in yoga, the instructor said "find your sit bones and root down into them." I think I heard a chortle from my sit bones when she said that. Or was it a scream? In reality, it was probably my butt saying @#$% you, since I presume my butt has the same potty mouth (pardon the pun) that I do.
My butt HURTS. Spinning, which I really like, is turning my butt into a source of pain and anguish. To be clear, my butt has never really been a source of sweetness and light, and it was producing death clouds yesterday, but it's never hurt like this. It's that seat. I've seen larger bananas. I've sat on more comfortable bricks. I think the Spinning seat people are sadists, gleefully designing smaller seats with less and less padding, pretending that Lance said it should be that way and we should all just shut up and be like Lance.
I went to the bike store and found the most padded shorts they offer. I about had an aneurysm and a heart attack at the same time when I realized they were $60, but I bought them. My butt made me do it. My butt threatened to do all sorts of unseemly and embaraassing things if I didn't put my debit card on the counter right that second and buy those extortion-priced diaper shorts. I did it.
It's slowly getting better. Each class my butt is a teeny-weeny-tiny-increment-of-pain better than previous. At this rate I should be pain free while Spinning in a year or so. My friends assure me that it won't take that long, but they are all jealous of me and my 265 pound butt that is begging for a bag of frozen peas, so they can't be trusted. No, they aren't really jealous, I made that part up.
My favorite part about spinning? Yoga! Spinning means I can go to yoga every day without sacrificing my goals. Part of my problem for the last 6 (8?) weeks is my new-found addiction to yoga. But yoga doesn't burn calories the way an hour on the treadmill or a spinning class does. Result? I'm bendy and happy and yoga glowy and maybe more toned, but I haven't lost a pound.
Yoga is doing great things for me emotionally, so I'm unwilling to give it up. Solution? Morning cardio. Swimming, Spinning and Treadmill, Oh My!
I was dry today at Spinning and didn't realize it. I was feeling kind of blah until I was half way through class and bam, I was feeling better than I had at the beginning and sweat started pouring out of me. I think it was the bottle and a half of water I had chugged hitting my system. That also explains why I felt off at yoga last night. DRINK! Must drink ample fluids. Doh!
So today is day one of project get my bruised butt in gear. Day 1 of my self imposed 7 day challenge. Someone recommended blogging each of those days, and I thought that was a good idea. It isn't like my fingers hurt, just my nether regions.
So far I'm doing great on the Great Jenn Reboot. 100 calorie almond pack. 1.25 Cups green peas, the starchy yummy ones. Cup of decaf Earl Grey (even though it is nearly impossible to get fantastic Earl Grey outside of England. I think this means I need to take a vacation to England! Shiny things. I digress. Oops. Sorry).
Anybody have one of those inflatable hemorrhoid cushions laying around that I can borrow? :)

Sin City 2 casting is shaping up, full of old and new faces
While there will be Marv in Sin City 2, due to a combination of a non-linear storytelling style and the tragic loss of some of the actors from the original Sin City, the sequel 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' will have quite a few new faces.
Robert Rodriguez officially announces Sin City sequel subtitled 'A Dame to Kill For'
Yesterday, writer/director Robert Rodriguez officially announced the sequel/prequel to Sin City, which will officially be called 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For'. While Rodriguez has talked about Sin City 2 for a while now, and the movie's eventual production has never been in doubt, it's nice to get official confirmation.
Robert Rodriguez says that after long delays, Sin City 2 is finally getting made
For years, Robert Rodriguez has talked about Sin City 2 as a definite, but it just hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, Rodriguez confirmed that he's finally getting down to working on the sequel-prequel to Sin City, so we've all got that to look forward to.
