The curators of the Marietta Museum of History honor the heritage of Marietta and Cobb Counties with educational events, rotating exhibits, and four specialized galleries that focus on different facets of Marietta tradition: home life, general history, the military, and the Civil War Union Raiders. Since 2000, museum staffers have hosted more than 90,000 visitors, guiding groups past Native American artifacts and antiquated industrial machinery in the General History gallery and navigating a 15.5-acre aviation park filled with civilian and military aircraft manufactured in Marietta. Guns, shells, and uniforms line the cases in the Military gallery, which elucidates the stories of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and Vietnam, among others. The museum?s special exhibits rotate several times a year, with themes such as Y?All Come Eat: Exploration of Southern Food Ways, which features the nation?s largest display of antebellum macaroni costumes. Visitors can drop by Monday?Saturday, or pick up a membership to receive a newsletter and special invitations.
A motley collection of secure and sanitized play structures dominates each Catch Air location's indoor play arena to sate the lively imaginations of children as well as the safety concerns of their parents. Each of the four locations opens its doors seven days a week to unique lineups of attractions, including three-tiered castles covered in colorful nets and padding, with space shuttles attached to appease every child's love of anachronism. Tykes 12 and younger can wade through ball pits or take to an interactive, light-up dance floor to practice moves before they reach the age when practicing becomes embarrassing. The staff maintain a watchful eye at all times and clean every play structure daily before opening. Staffers also host parties to celebrate birthdays or the end of second-grade finals week.
At Boomers!, thrill-seeking families and fun-enabling friends can attack a variety of appealing attractions, including mini golf, batting cages, bumper boats, and the button-mashing joys housed inside the exhilarating game room. The Vista location entertains families of sharpshooters with a blacklight-illuminated laser-tag arena before little ones climb and crawl through the Kidopolis play area. The El Cajon and San Diego locations let rivals celebrate the spirit of competition as they fly past each other in speedy go-karts or have a snail-paced Ferris wheel race at the kid's county fair. Unlimited pass holders at the El Cajon location can also scale the 32-foot-tall climbing wall, which, like America, enables citizens to climb to the top via myriad routes.
Brunswick Zone has been a trusted name in recreational pin pulverizing for more than a century, providing good times to patrons across the country. Friends and families season afternoons with a pleasant peppering of strikes, spares, and easygoing gutter balls under classic bowling conditions, or take the next bold step in ball-hurling evolution and engage in a round of cosmic bowling, where dancing lights, thumping tunes, and black-lit gear light up the full sensorium. At XL locations, game rooms beckon with nimble joystick workouts on classic and modern arcade games.
Turkey disaster, in-law stress, and an irrational Santa-phobia means the season of anxiety is upon us. Blow off a little holiday steam with a deal designed especially for Groupies: for $14, you'll get $28 worth of rides, games, and food at American Adventures Park in Marietta. Since there's no buy limit, you can treat everyone in your family to a Groupon outing, even your annoying cousin, Mark "The Morning Mad Man" Wilkers, who works as a CPA but has cultivated an abrasive DJ persona.At Mini Golf Valiant: Is conscious of younger players and wishes everyone a "job well done." Vicious: Corrals an army of younger players to take over the rest of the park with putters and fierce bites.
Any old primate can hurl heavy objects at lighter ones and delight in the resulting chaos—what separates humankind is our burning desire to keep score. Assert your humanity with today's Groupon: $10 for 2 hours of unlimited bowling at any of six Atlanta-area Brunswick Zone locations, a $25 value. Shoe rental is included, so you can continue to put off your plan to buy some totally sweet bowling shoes, for now at least.

Good Points
Fantastically flexible, and very helpful.
Bad Points
Almost too much choice in what to use your gift list for.
General Comments
It was great to be able to break down high value items at the Bottom Drawer into smaller chunks so guests could contribute towards them. We got a 42 inch plasma TV and a new gas fire from our wedding guests plus contributions towards our honeymoon.

I have always enjoyed cooking, but boy did I take for granted my kitchen and oven in the States! Since moving to Korea I've had to adapt the way I cook completely. From having no counter space, to replacing ingredients with things available here, to trying to make delicious cakes in a small toaster oven, I've done it all! There have been a lot of failed experiments and total disasters in my tiny kitchen(stories I may have to share soon!), but along the way I've learned a lot about how to make your tiny kitchen as efficient as possible and still make delicious food!
Korea is known for having low obesity levels, with only an estimated 4% of people being obese, much lower than the 35% of Americans, or 25% of Brits. It's true that the percentage of overweight Koreans is increasing, but nowhere near as drastically as other Western countries. And I don't find the trend at all surprising; In fact, I've found it a lot easier to maintain a healthy-eating lifestyle since living in Korea.
Everyone loves a good comforting meal, especially at this time of year when every day it's getting colder and darker outside; what better thing is there to do than settle down in a cosy room with some delicious comfort food. In Korea, my favourite comfort food is my beloved Dolsot Bibimbap, a steaming-hot bowl of veggies, rice, egg and spicy pepper paste, perfect for warming you up on a cold autumn night.

Happy Pepero Day from Korea! If you're not familiar with this special day, it's one in which people exchange Peperos (chocolate sticks) with their loved ones, kind of like Easter without the religion. According to reports, the celebration started because people believed if you partook in the Pepero celebration, you would become taller and thinner, especially if you ate your Peperos at exactly 11:11 on November 11th- 11:11, on the 11th day of the 11th month. And if you're really superstitious, you should make sure you eat the Peperos 11 seconds after 11:11, for the ultimate thinning/ heightening effect. Eating loads of chocolate to make you taller and thinner? I like that kind of logic!
I don't consider myself a pyromaniac, but I will say I do love me some fireworks. The way they sparkle and shine against the dark night sky. The elongated screech they produce as they're released into the air, and the extra half second it takes for that final BANG to reach the ears. And there's something about the collective experience of standing in a crowd with your neck craned high, saying "Woahhhhh!" along with everyone else.

Just a quick update on the photowalk a few weeks ago. As you know, we had many talented photographers with us and I was very happy with the turnout. However, for the local contest, it was Macbeth Omega that one our contest! Not only that, but he was one of the TOP TEN FINALISTS!!
Winter is coming in Korea and it's a great time to snuggle up with a few new books. This past January I made a goal to read 35 books in 2014, and I can finally see the finish line! I've read 26 books so far, so that leaves 9 more to go in under 2 months. That's a lot of reading, so I decided to order some new books to motivate me to reach my goal.
I ordered them from What the Book, the popular used book store in the Itaewon neighborhood of Seoul. Many of you have probably heard of or visited the store, but you may not know that you can also order books from their online store and have them delivered to you anywhere in Korea! Even if you're looking for a specific book they don't have, What the Book can order it for you online and send it to you.

Uruguay seals semis date vs. Brazil
RECIFE, Brazil (AP)
Relive the best action shots from FIFA's 2013 Confederations Cup.
Abel Hernandez scored three goals, the first of which was the quickest in Confederations Cup history, to help give Uruguay a 8-0 victory over fan-favorite Tahiti in Group B on Sunday.
The Uruguayans, who started without strikers Diego Forlan, Edinson Cavani and Suarez, will play Brazil in the semifinals Wednesday in Belo Horizonte.
Tahiti, a team of mostly amateurs that drew boisterous support from the Brazilian fans for the third straight game, was outscored 24-1 at the tournament. But when the match ended, the Tahitian substitutes walked onto the field carrying Brazilian flags, drawing another massive round of cheers.
When they unfurled a large green-and-white banner that said ''Obrigado Brasil,'' or ''Thank You Brazil,'' the cheers resumed.
Abel Hernandez scored a first-half hat trick and added a penalty kick in the second half. Luis Suarez scored two goals and Diego Perez and Nicolas Lodeiro had the others.

Tahiti goalkeeper Gilbert Meriel stopped it from getting worse by saving a penalty from Andres Scotti in the 50th minute. One minute later, Scotti was sent off with a second yellow card.
Hernandez's first goal came on a header 79 seconds into the match at the Arena Pernambuco. It is the fastest in the history of the World Cup warmup tournament, according to FIFA.
Check out the best supporters from Brazil's 2013 Confederations Cup.
Hernandez added a second goal in the 24th, and Perez tapped in the third after his header had hit the post in the 27th. Hernandez made it 4-0 in first-half injury time. In the second half, Lodeiro scored in the 61st, Hernanzdez's penalty kick came in the 67th and Suarez added the seventh in the 82nd and the final goal in the 90th.
Tahiti managed to create a few chances. Perhaps the best came when Marama Vahirua, the team's only professional player, shot at Uruguay goalkeeper Martin Silva in the 34th for an easy save.
Earlier in the half, Tahiti defender Teheivarii Ludivion was given a yellow card in the eighth minute for bringing down Matias Aguirregaray, the first caution the team received at the tournament. He was sent off for a second yellow in the 59th.
The Tahitians, who qualified for the tournament by winning the Oceania Nations Cup, have been adopted by the Brazilian public.
Completely outplayed in previous loses to Nigeria and Spain, the islanders still play an attractive, attack-minded soccer despite the huge gap in ability with the other teams in the group.
Meriel, who dived to his left to stop Scotti's penalty and then scrambled to control the loose ball, was the third different goalkeeper to start for Tahiti in its three matches.
Xavier Samin played in the 6-1 loss to Nigeria in the opening match last Monday, and Mikael Roche was in goal for the 10-0 drubbing against Spain on Thursday.

Eileen and Pat Glover would have been glancing skyward at the azure sky but the Leinster Hurling Cup was even brighter. The avid Dub fans had a close look at the cup outside their West Dublin home.
Pigs aren't quite flying yet but temperatures in Ireland these past few days are sky high and climbing higher with the possibility of hitting 90 degrees.
And as if times weren't strange enough, Dublin hurlers won the Leinster championship to match the county's footballers. The teams, famous for their sky blue uniforms, last accomplished this double in 1942. And it was not just hurlers and the weather that were making big headlines these past few days. Irish sports stars were turning up the heat on their rivals, most notably in France where golfer Graeme McDowell won the French open in Paris, his third title of the season. Down south in the Pyrenees, meanwhile, cyclist Dan Martin captured Sunday's stage in the Tour de France for the U.S. Garmin-Sharp team. As for the weather, the sunshine looks set to continue for a few days yet. Monday was the hottest day in Ireland since 2006 and even higher temperatures are expected by week's end.
Met Éireann confirmed a temperature of 28.7 degrees at Oakpark, County Carlow on Monday. That's 83.6 Fahrenheit. The weather has been good news for farmers, as well as those who simply want to soak up the sun and pretend for a few days that Ireland is Spain, or some other Mediterranean hotspot.
Irish entrepreneurs relish U.S. retreat.
Competitive Edge By Maura Kelly
It has been called "the ultimate mind meld for business leaders" by those involved.
For seven days in June, 110 Irish entrepreneurs had the opportunity to engage with top U.S. CEOs, economists, political advisors and change agents in Chicago, the University of Notre Dame, and New York, this while attending the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year CEO Retreat.
All of the participants embarked on the supercharger retreat with one goal in mind – to return to Ireland reinvigorated and expand their businesses on a domestic and international level.
The journey for twenty-four of the CEOs started when their companies were short-listed for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) 2014 Award.
EOY is a global recognition program for entrepreneurs run in 140 cities in over 50 countries.
The Irish EOY program, now in its sixteenth year, was created to recognize talent and innovation across the island of Ireland and it includes finance, technology, agriculture and manufacturing sectors.
All of the finalists and seasoned entrepreneurs on the retreat have created new jobs and opportunities, both in Ireland's tough economy and abroad.
I had a chance to meet and talk with several CEOs at the residence of Consul General Noel Kilkenny during the New York leg of the trip.
Fresh off the plane from South Bend, Indiana, the group was truly energized by the panoramic views of Manhattan and the Empire State Building from the Consul General's 52nd floor residence.
""The aim of this year's CEO Retreat is to challenge and inspire Ireland's entrepreneurs to think in new ways and unlock their success and strategy on a global level" explained Frank O'Keeffe, Partner-in-Charge of the EOY program.
"We want Ireland, north and south, to become one of the best places in the world to do business. We've just arrived from Notre Dame and we have a strong connection there. They are known as the fighting Irish in sports and the individuals here have a fighting Irish spirit and it's played out in business."
Several of the group commented on the inspirational talk football coach Lou Holtz gave the previous night about living life to the best of one's ability. They expressed deep admiration for the football legend and said it was a highlight of the trip.
Some of the companies vying for the EOY 2014 grand prize in the emerging category include Sugru, whose tag line states, "The future needs fixing." This innovative self-setting rubber is used for fixing, modifying and improving things and sells in 138 countries.
On the entertainment front, Belfast based Sixteen South (Sesame Street Northern Ireland and Jim Henson's Pajanimals) were in the running for two Daytime Emmy's that same week. Datahug creates online collaboration tools and I happened to catch their pitch at a recent New York Digital Irish event.
The applications enhance lead generation and uncover relationships and connections within a company's network of contacts. John Rice, CEO of Jam Media, recalled his early years in New York with MTV and talked about how his U.S. experience planted the seeds for opening his own animation company in Dublin, then Belfast, and now Canada in the near future.
The next day, World EOY 2013 winner, Hamdi Ulukaya, wowed the group when he shared how he started Chobani Greek Yogurt with nothing but a subway coupon and 25 cents in his pocket. Within five years he grew his company to $1 billion in sales and now employs over 3000 staff. Later that day, Jim McCann of 1-800-Flowers recounted his unique journey from start up to leader in the floral trade.
The EOY CEO Retreat doesn't limit itself to seeking excellent in all things business, it also promotes giving back.
Michael Carey, chairman of Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board, explained the genesis of "Soul of Haiti" to me.
"Soul of Haiti is a charity that started in 2007 after the EOY CEO Retreat visited Haiti. We were so moved by what we saw, we decided to set up the charity on our return to Ireland."
Carey added: "We utilize the philosophy of social entrepreneurship and rather than focus just on relief work, we help stimulate business and employment in Haiti so that the people can start providing for themselves and build their own future.
I think the EOY Twitter feed sums up the week nicely: @EOYIreland "What a trip, we're now bringing our 110 Irish entrepreneurs back home re-invigorated and ready to get back to business with a bang! @bubblebumukltd tweets – "An incredible fanfreakingbubbletastic week with @EOYIreland in Notre Dame and NYC. Thank you."
Ireland's 24 finalists will face off against each other for the grand prize at the EOY Gala Night in Dublin on October 24th. The overall winner will then go on to participate in the World Entrepreneur of the Year Awards in Monte Carlo in June 2014. Good luck to all.

Senate passes immigration reform bill
By Ray O'Hanlon
Reform backers fell two votes short of the "Magnificent 70," but the margin of victory was nevertheless impressive.
The United States Senate voted 68-32 Thursday for S.744, The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.
The bill includes a provision that would allow 10,500 renewable E-3 visas for the Irish with no sunset.
Passage of the bill represented a big win for the bipartisan "Gang of Eight," the members of which crafted the measure, and a particular triumph for the bill's lead Democratic sponsor, Senator Charles Schumer who penned the Irish E-3 provision.
The reform debate now shifts to the far more uncertain ground that is the U.S. House of Representatives.
Mayoral chain caught the president's eye
President Obama and Belfast Lord Mayor Máirtin Ó Muilleoir chatted for several minutes Monday when they met in Belfast.
The mayoral chain had caught the president's eye and he joked about how he might get his hands on a similar symbol of high office.
Maureen O'Hara takes a final public bow
By Ray O'Hanlon

She kept her promise.
Screen star Maureen O'Hara traveled from Boise, Idaho, to Winterset, Iowa last weekend to honor fellow Hollywood legend John Wayne in his birthplace.
A John Wayne museum and learning center and museum is planned for the Iowa town, and the project now has the best possible blessing from O'Hara, who made five movies with the late actor, including the iconic "The Quiet Man."
Wayne was born in Winterset on May 26, 1907.
It was O'Hara's first ever visit to Winterset, and it was also billed as her last large scale public appearance.
O'Hara was greeted by fans during the weekend as the town featured O'Hara and Wayne films in its movie theater.
"I hope they don't forget," O'Hara said of the well wishers.
"If they forget me, I might get mad at them, because I am still here," the 92-year-old actress said.
O'Hara lived in West Cork for a number of years, but is now settled in Idaho close to family members.
Fans the world over have been campaigning to have Hollywood award her a lifetime achievement Oscar at next year's Academy Awards.
Judiciary Committee passes reform bill
Judiciary Committee passes reform bill
The Senate immigration reform bill, S.744 or the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act to give it it's full title, was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday by a vote of 13 to 5.
The bill, which contained a provision that would offer 10,500 annual "Schumer" visas to the Irish, now goes to the Senate floor and backers are hopeful that the full Senate will take it up after the Memorial Day congressional break, that being the first week in June.
Irish "Day of Action"

2013 plate will be parked
Clearly the luck of the Irish isn't up to the year that's soon to be in it.
The Irish government is reportedly set to introduce a new license-plate system next year amid fears that a "13" registration number will diminish new car sales.
Irish license plates show the car's year as well as its home county.
Cars registered between January and the end of June will have a "131" notation on the plate. Those from July 1 to the end of the year will have "132" on the plate.
The decision, according to an Irish Times report, is based partly on fears that superstition over a "13" plate would affect sales and partly in response to the motor industry's plea to spread sales more evenly across the year.
Up to now, there has been a glut of sales every January to March/April and then a virtual trickle of purchases for the rest of the year. This puts huge financial pressure on dealerships as cash flow dries up, the report stated.
By having a July registration, it is hoped that the sales bulge will be spread out over the year and possibly give a mid-summer lift to buying.
A bi-annual system is used in Britain, the report noted.
A government spokesman confirmed that the Department of Finance was actively considering the proposed change as part of a consultation process with the motor industry.
But the spokesman declined to comment because this is an issue that may arise in December's Budget. The Revenue Commissioners also declined to comment, the report concluded.
Trouble flares during 12th marches
Trouble flared in Belfast last week following the annual Orange Order July 12 celebrations.
On Thursday, violence erupted in the outskirts of North Belfast following contentious marches past a nationalist area.
The first parade was by Orangemen returning from the annual Twelfth celebrations; the second was by a nationalist group opposed to the parade.
As trouble broke out, petrol bombs and bricks were thrown at police lines by both nationalists and loyalists leaving 20 PSNI officers injured. The PSNI fired six plastic bullets, used water cannon on the crowds, and made several arrests. Later, up to 10 shots were fired at the police in what a PSNI spokesman described as "attempted murder."
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable, Will Kerr, said the community needed to call a halt to the violence.
"I am angry that we have these three days of annual madness where it seems that everybody thinks the peacekeepers are a legitimate target," he said.
"We will be making a significant number of arrests, as we did last year, over the course of the next weeks and months to make sure that people
are placed before the courts and answer for their decisions."
There was also anger from nationalists after a loyalist band was filmed walking around in circles outside a Catholic church in Belfast playing anti-Catholic tunes.
The footage was loaded on to You Tube and made the news in Ireland after the individual filming the scene was attacked by the bandsmen.
Sinn Féin's Conor Maskey was in the area at the time and witnessed part of the incident.
"The Orange Order needs to explain to the St. Patrick's congregation why a loyalist band taking part in their parade played sectarian tunes and behaved provocatively outside St Patrick's church," Maskey said.
"The person filming was then attacked by a member of the band. It is time for the Orange Order to show leadership, step into the 21st century
and got rid of the organization's anti-Catholic sectarian ethos.
Until that happens, then clearly this bigoted side of the organization will continue to manifest itself in incidents like this."
Meet me in….
….St. Louis.
Not at the fair, but rather at the 2014 Ancient Order of Hibernians National Convention which will take place in the Missouri two years from now.
And two years after that, the biennial gathering will take place in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
These and other important decisions pertaining to the future of the largest Irish American organization were finalized last week by members, men and women, who had gathered in Verona in upstate New York for the 2012 convention.
The event witnessed the end of the two term, four year, leadership of AOH National President, Philadelphia's Seamus Boyle, and the installation of his successor, Brendan Moore, a resident of Rockland County, NY.
Outgoing ladies national president, Margaret Hennessy, was succeeded by Maureen Shelton from Michigan, while Mary Hogan from Brooklyn became national vice president.
The convention was addressed by, among others, North Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, and Ireland's Consul General in New York, Ambassador Noel Kilkenny, who spoke effusively of the order's storied past, and its varied and vital mission for the years ahead.

Former White House official Lu named Baccalaureate speaker; aerospace industry leader Augustine to speak at Hooding ceremony
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Posted March 14, 2014; 10:00 a.m.
by Michael Hotchkiss, Office of Communications
Christopher P. Lu, former White House cabinet secretary and assistant to President Barack Obama and a member of Princeton's Class of 1988, has been selected as the speaker for the University's 2014 Baccalaureate ceremony.
Baccalaureate, an end-of-year interfaith service that is one of Princeton's oldest traditions, is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, June 1, in the University Chapel.
Norman Augustine, former chairman and chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp. who holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University, will speak at the Hooding ceremony for advanced-degree candidates, scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, June 2, on Cannon Green.
Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber selects the Baccalaureate speaker after consultation with senior class leaders.
"The Class of 2014 is excited to welcome Christopher Lu as our Baccalaureate speaker," said Luchi Mmegwa, president of the senior class. "Mr. Lu's tireless service to the nation as an adviser to the president exemplifies the best of Princeton and embodies the passion for public service possessed by our class. We look forward to learning from Mr. Lu's experiences as we embark on our life journey."
Lu joined the staff of then-Sen. Obama in 2005 and served as executive director of the 2008 presidential transition team before joining Obama's White House staff. When Lu announced his departure from the White House last year, Obama said, "Through his dedication and tireless efforts, Chris has overseen one of the most stable and effective cabinets in history — a cabinet that has produced extraordinary accomplishments over the past four years."
In January 2014, Obama nominated Lu to be deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor. If confirmed, he would become the chief operating officer of the agency, which has 17,000 employees.
Princeton's Baccalaureate service focuses on members of the senior class. It includes prayers and readings from various religious and philosophical traditions. The earliest recorded Baccalaureate address — titled "Religion and the Public Spirit" — was delivered by University President Samuel Davies in 1760 to the 11 members of the graduating class.
Seating in the chapel is limited to members of the senior class and the faculty procession. Seniors receive two tickets to a simulcast site for family and guests.
Augustine received his undergraduate and master's degrees in aeronautical engineering from Princeton in 1957 and 1959, respectively. After spending nearly 20 years as an engineer at aerospace companies and serving twice as undersecretary of the Army, Augustine joined the Martin Marietta Corp., a leading aerospace and defense manufacturer, in 1977, and became chairman and CEO. He served as president of the Lockheed Martin Corp. upon its formation in 1995 and was named CEO and chairman before retiring in 1997.
Augustine has served as a trustee of the University and was a lecturer with the rank of professor in Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science from 1997 to 1999. He was awarded the James Madison Medal, the highest honor the University bestows on an alumnus of its Graduate School, in 1995, and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 2007.
The Graduate Student Government assembly initiated the selection process for the Hooding ceremony speaker, and the final selection was made by Eisgruber and Graduate School Dean William Russel. The ceremony will be overseen by Eisgruber and Sanjeev Kulkarni, whose appointment as dean of the Graduate School is effective March 31. Hooding is a non-ticketed event.

The American Idol Power Poll: Volume Iby Mischalova at . Comments
As we prepare for the third week of American Idol auditions, it seems like a good time to break out our first Power Poll of the season.
With four solid episodes under our belt, here's how The Hollywood Gossip staff ranks this year's early contenders:
1) Kristy Lee Cook: Gorgeous Oregonian's ''Amazing Grace'' was highlight of the opening two weeks - but will fans revolt against her one-time record deal with Arista Nashville?
2) Michael Johns: His former band once had a deal with Madonna's music label, but a professional background is par for this year's American Idol course. The Aussie made a strong impression with a tight T-shirt, toned biceps, and a solid Otis Redding cover.
3) David Archuleta: Former Star Search winner has the sympathy vote locked up: he struggled with a paralyzed vocal chord as a child. This year's Sanjaya... with talent?
4) Carly Smithson: Another American Idol hopeful with prior experience â€" she crashed and burned in her major-label debut as Carly Hennessy a few years back â€" this tattooed Irishwoman displayed great range on ''I'm Every Woman.''
5) Colton Swon: We liked his impressive take on Little Big Town's ''Boondocks'' and are extra excited about the rumor that he plays the guitar during the Hollywood round.
6) Kady Malloy: Simon Cowell dubbed her the best audition he'd seen during the opening week after she belted out ''Unchained Melody." We loved her impression of Britney Spears. Singing, that is. Not being insane.
7) Alaina Whitaker: Confident (said Carrie Underwood looks like her!) and with a powerful voice for a 16-year old.
Merrick, your words about David Archuleta are just beautiful. Thank you so much for wrinitg such a moving thank you to him. I just want you to know that your songs are wonderful too. The Most Beautiful Part About This Is especially is so impactful to me that it brings me to tears. It reminds me of a time in my life when I was in such a difficult place that I realized my only salvation was to go to my knees and reach out to God for his help and mercy, and He was merciful and through His blessings helped me find my way. I listen to your song and know that I need to remember that He is there for us if we just ask. Thank you for wrinitg songs with such a meaningful message.
To watch the "Amazing Archie" in a MEDLEY go to youtube and TYPE in
David Archuleta Medley....the one under EFMUTTON ..running time 10 minutes...enjoy!!
David Archuleta is the best singer ever and he is going to make it all the way i believe in him and i no he is going to win
David A. is my favorite!

On life after coming out: "You just feel different in the world. Once you've done something that you used to think was impossible, what could ever really scare you again? Even now, press is more enjoyable because I don't have to have certain conversations. For instance, I'm never going to have to have a conversation about a dress, or heels, ever again."
On the expectation to stay in the closet: "No one's ever been so direct as to say, 'You're gay, so we're gonna hide it.' But there's an unspoken thing going on. [People] believe it's the right thing to do for your career. They don't realize it's eroding your soul. It was eventually about me being like, 'Wait, why am I listening to that? At what point did I let those things become important?'"
On her newest project: "It's very direct in showing how discrimination against the LGBT community affects people. There's no getting around the unfairness that happened here, and just how illogical and almost psychopathic it felt. And it's so exciting to get to do a love story with the sex that you actually fall for. I'm thrilled about it."
On the emergence of more and more meaningful, queer-themed projects: "Even if it did become a trend, who cares, right? Let being yourself become a trend."

I used this for over a year and it did not make my hair grow any faster or prevent fallout or make my hair stronger. It did nothing to change my fine wavy hair growth or strength. Made my hair look very shiny though. Gave my last two bottles to my Mom and she loved it on her fine hair. I also noticed how much volume and shine it gave to her hair, and she said her hair dresser remarked how her hair had more life and strength.
In the end I stopped using it because it made my scalp feel slightly uncomfortable and weird, like it was coating hair in something? Plus I really hated the strong chemically apple cinnamon scent, it made me feel like hurling. I only stuck to using it that long because I wanted to see if I could get results.
I have been using this shampoo for a year and a half. I started noticing results before I even finished the first tube, so I just kept buying it. Right now my hair is the longest and healthiest it's been in years. While I don't think it's entirely due to this one product, I definitely think it has contributed.
It's not a moisturizing shampoo at all so I always follow it with a super-moisturizing conditioner. I use this 1-2x a week (I rotate this with different products). It lathers and cleanses really well, rinses cleanly and has a nice strawberry-like scent. And best of all, it only costs a few dollars.
My opinion is that this shampoo won't MAKE you hair grow, but it will HELP your hair grow. It worked for me! Have repurchased many times and will continue to do so.
More reviews by AlexisTarantino
Tonight is my first night of use of this product. I will, however update this after I've used the product for a month or 2.
So far, so good. I have not felt the dryness or stringynes people are saying there is while you shampoo. For being sulfate free, it lathered pretty well! I paired it with its conditioner and it left my hair soft and smelling good.
My reason for buying this product is because my hair is damaged because I straighten my hair every day and have professionally colored hair plus I wanted to see if it really boosted the growth time. I have dry hair myself.
The prices is decent for the product but I can buy a 16oz of Herbal Essence for $5. I can really complain though.
The packaging is really more than half of the reason I bought this! It's catchy!
Will update in early December.
I just bought the shampoo and conditioner set on sale at Ulta on a whim. It smelled nice, the packaging is attractive, and it promises to moisturize damaged hair and encourage healthy growth. The buy on get on half off price tag didn't hurt either.
For anyone that thinks this will magically repair over-processed hair or make your hair grow fast because of the cutesy description on the back of the tube: get real. It's a shampoo and conditioner, not Rogaine for ladies and not some high-end salon treatment for ultra damaged tresses.
A lot of people complain that it doesn't lather and that many sulfate-free formulas are like that. HAHAHA. The shampoo is super thick and creamy and the tube gives instructions to massage the shampoo into the scalp for 2-3 minutes. (That's like one song on Pandora for me - easy.) The lather is so thick that I can make my shoulder-length hair stand up in a foamy pile on top of my head. The smell is amazing. I can see how people liken it to strawberries, but it smells more like a general sweet fruit smell. It's very mild and not bothersome to my senses and I'm not big on scents.
The conditioner looks and feels thick as you work it into the hair. The tube also says to massage this into the hair for 2-3 minutes. (Another song for me.) As you massage and work the conditioner into your scalp and hair, it begins to thin out a bit and feels less thick and conditioner-like. I was worried about that because my hair is so super dry and miserable lately. But no! After rinsing it out, my hair was so clean and super soft feeling, even while wet! After my hair dries it's very shiny, smooth, soft, lightweight and very healthy looking! Highly recommended!
The same products don't really work for the same people all the time. This isn't a miracle cure, but it has helped me. I also have pretty good hair habits so I don't damage my hair.
To give you an idea of what my hair is like:
My hair is fine but thick, slightly wavy, I have a cowlick in the front and the back, my scalp gets flaky from time to time (usually due to weather changes/environmental stuff), and lately my hair has been very dry. I have been looking for an affordable sulfate-free formula to moisturize my hair as I am trying to grow it out and keep it healthy with monthly trims and good products. I do not color my hair and have not in over a decade, I never heat-style, I use a blow-dryer 3x a week tops, and I always wash and rinse my hair with lukewarm or cool water.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I keep coming back to this shampoo, I really love it. My hair is really dry, but this does not dry it out. Its always so soft and manageable after I use it. It smells awesome too. AND, its super affordable. I have a feeling I'll be using this shampoo for a long time.
I know it can't miraculously grow my already super long hair longer overnight, but my issue with this is that my hair just doesn't look very good. Flat and limp. Smells great, won't rebuy.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So I have been reading tons and tons of reviews on this product system and was skeptical at first because in a lot of reviews, women talked about they ended up losing MORE hair after starting to use this. But also, there were reviews were it helped women with breakage and shedding so I wanted to try myself. For an unknown reason-probably just stress or something-I have been losing a bunch of hair in the shower and when brushing/combing my hair.
I used the shampoo and conditioner last night and could already tell a difference once I styled my hair. I used the shampoo and conditioner as recommended, massaging the scalp for 2-3 minutes (my hands got tired really quick so I just did 2 minutes), rinse, condition 2-3 minutes (I did 2) and rinse. I let my hair air dry for about 20ish minutes and then used a hair dryer to finish. My hair was SO SILKY SOFT. I didn't notice a change in hair loss yet but i've only used it once so we'll see if it helps with that. I also want to try and grow my hair out some so I think i'm going to start taking a Hair, Skin and Nails vitamin again to help out some.
The bottles are a bit small for a normal shampoo/conditioner but you don't have to use a lot for it to do it's job. Cute packaging.
I loved this stuff because it was sulfate free, and I loved the way it made my hair feel. But unfortunately it made my hair fall out, which non sulfate shampoos can do to some people, or so I've heard.
I'm on my third tube of this. It smells so good! I don't get strawberries like other reviewers mention, it's more of a vague fruity clean classic shampoo smell for me. I found that it lathered enough. I don't know if it does anything for the "long and strong" claim, but as a regular old shampoo it's effective. It leaves my hair on the drier side, not oily (but it isn't actually drying). I don't like the matching conditioner though; doesn't seem to do much.
Hated it. It didn't suds up very well and I never really felt like it got my roots good and clean. Been using this for 3 months and don't really see a difference in hair growth or health either, but I already have pretty healthy hair, so I'm not sure if I'm a good judge of that. Would never re-buy.

Guest Column: District 205: Saluting the Roosevelt Rough Riders
By Jane Hayes
Rough Riders from Rockford's Roosevelt Alternative High School trotted across the stage at the Coronado Theatre Tuesday, May 29, accepting their well-earned diplomas. Each of the 170 graduates made their families and staff supporters proud of their achievements, as evidenced by constant jubilation from the crowd.
You see, many of these graduates have not been privileged enough to live the lives of carefree teens concerned about prom, parties, basketball and football games, and social clubs. Instead, they are young adults, who have weathered immense hurdles and had been previously deleted from the rolls of other Rockford public high schools.
We faithful steed or staff members at Roosevelt have figuratively carried these Rough Riders to this pivotal moment by teaching, encouraging, prodding and cajoling them to realize a goal too often lost because of displaced situations and hardships. Many of us paid the $50 cost so our students could rent their caps and gowns.
Under the caring support of our principals, Amanda Jushka and Mike Valentine, Roosevelt staff and students have bonded, making wayward students feel the welcome mat under their feet. Many of our young students are parents as well, and have needed the parenting classes and childcare options that Roosevelt offered. Now, after receiving their diplomas, they can be role models for their own children.
Many of our students have also been legal offenders who have had parole officers and court dates to contend with throughout the year. Too many are homeless teens struggling with numerous changes of address and transportation issues, making attendance a real issue.
How touching the comments were when graduation speakers addressed the audience! The young ladies had trouble continuing because of their tears, and Mrs. Jushka kindly held them to their mission by supporting them at the podium. Mrs. Jushka has been an incredible interim principal whom our staff supported for principal next year. Another speaker complimented Roosevelt's staff who believed in him when no one else did.
All of the speakers had virtually the same message. None of this would be possible without Roosevelt and its supportive staff! A common theme was reiterated; they had been displaced at their former high schools and found an accepting environment at Roosevelt where they could succeed. People finally believed in them, making all the challenges thus far only hurdles on the steeple chase of their lives.
In the past, I have participated in graduations at Rockford Auburn, Rockton Hononegah, Machesney Park Harlem and Rockford Guilford in full academic regalia with the graduates; yet, this graduation at Roosevelt was even more touching to me because of the challenges our Rough Rider graduates had endured.
Staff members at Roosevelt follow simple dictates of Theodore Roosevelt by encouraging their students "Believe you can and you're halfway there."
And conversely, students at Roosevelt trust the staff to do what's right, no matter how challenging. Students feel the acceptance they need to achieve goals because they know "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care."
The bust of Teddy Roosevelt oversaw graduation, and his words still echo in our hearts: "Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike."
Graduates, you have succeeded and how sweet it is! We salute the Rough Riders, graduates of the class of 2012 from Roosevelt Alternative High School. You have overcome so much by walking across that stage, and all the rough rides of your past have finally taken you to one finish line.
But remember, keep extending the finish line because your Triple Crown has yet to be achieved!
Jane Hayes is a former Roosevelt Alternative High School teacher and a member of Watchdogs for Ethics in Education.
