When I first got wind of Tiger Woods' connecting with an Escalade, a fire hydrant and a tree I knew instinctively no one would be circling around him clapping quietly and congratulating him for his play. When I read the description of Tiger's wife using a golf club to break out the back window of his car, "Thank G-d, she rescued him!" was not the conclusion to which I leaped. You don't have to tell me, I know I made a terribly unfair assumption. Call me a cynic if you will. It won't be the first time I've worn that badge. Somehow I just could not envision his wife racing out of the house-golf club in hand- breaking the window, dragging a possibly unconscious Tiger out of the front seat, over the back seat and out the back window. I also did not consider a scenario where she climbed into the care via the back window, carefully avoiding the jagged edges, in order to assist Tiger out of the front of the vehicle. The story didn't make sense. Judge Judy Any sage will tell you, "If it doesn't make sense, it's not true." Eventually Tiger himself admitted he's not so grrrrreat.
There are those in the professional golf community who have already begun to tee off on the course of opinion. According to Jesper Parnevik, Tiger's wife used the wrong club. I wonder who will step forward next and offer her a new Caddie.

November 26, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A cast member of the MTV reality show "BUCKWILD" is facing a drug charge in West Virginia.
Twenty-four-year-old Salwa Amin was arraigned Monday in Nicholas County Magistrate Court on felony charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. She is being held at the Central Regional Jail on $200,000 bond.
State police say a multi-agency task force arrested Amin and two others late Sunday night at a residence in Summersville after receiving a tip from an informant. Officers found oxycodone pills and heroin at the residence.
Jail Administrative Sgt. Rick Drake says Amin doesn't want to talk to the media.
MTV spokeswoman Candice Ashton says the network doesn't have any comment at this time on Amin's arrest.
"BUCKWILD" was filmed largely around Sissonville and Charleston.

Avril's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week
Avril Lavigne has probably had better weeks. By now you've probably heard about the 22-year-old's "Girlfriend" troubles. The
punk pop singer is being sued for plagiarism by the '70s band The Rubinoos.
The group claims Lavigne lifted the chorus from its 1979 song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" off its Back to the Drawing Board album. The songs share a similar refrain of "Hey, hey. You, you"… "I want to/wanna be your boyfriend/girlfriend." Let's take a listen to both, shall we?
Undeniably, the two share the call-response chorus, but the rest of the songs bear no resemblance. Plus, "Hey" and "You" aren't uncommon lyrics. Just try getting on the Rolling Stones' cloud and find out. To bolster their claim, the Rubinoos posted two other samples of authorized covers of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" on their website. The Lush version is particularly interesting because it both pops up and flips the gender of the song.
Avril has responded on her website (ah, online flame wars on personal websites; the 2000s
equivalent of Krystle throwing Alexis into the lily pond). She, of course, adamantly denied any thievery.
"I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language."
In a continuation of her headaches, last week Avril also got called out by fellow Canuck singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk in an interview with the magazine Performing Songwriter. Chantal worked with Lavigne on her 2003 release "Under My Skin." They have since parted ways and Chantal publicly scoffed at Lavigne's songwriting skills, saying, "I mean, Avril, songwriter? Avril doesn't really sit and write songs by herself
or anything." Oh, snap.
Chantal went on to grumble that she had sent Avril a song two years ago called "Contagious" and that she saw a track by the same name on Best Damn Thing without her name on it. Chantal has since acknowledged that she had not heard Lavigne's version and that the songs do not sound alike.
Avril also addressed Chantal's claims on her website and, interestingly, gave them twice as much ink (fine, virtual ink) as the Rubinoos' allegations. Funny how people feel more free to talk when litigation isn't involved :
"Chantal has also made false accusations about my writing skills. I am so over this topic. This letter is not about this. I am not going to sit here and defend my writing skills. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I know who I am and what I have done and accomplished and no one can take that away from me."
"I am so over this topic"? Well, that certainly sounds like a perfect example of Avril's writing skills.
She goes on to say that Chantal emailed her to apologize and that she has forgiven her. But, if that's true, why did she threaten to send her own couriers carrying subpoenas Chantal's way?
"Chantal's comments are damaging to my reputation and a clear defamation of my character and I am considering taking legal action."
Is she hoping one lawsuit will cancel out the other? Because I don't think it works that way. So, what do you think? Is she Avril Lavigne the song burglar or Avril Lavigne the coincidence princess? Discuss.

Entering into YouthBridge-NY in 2010, my sophomore year in high school I came in this single minded teenage who thought I had the world figured out. Today as I continue my sophomore year at Buffalo State, I realize how little I have figured out. I don't think I realized how much YouthBridge-NY helped me grow as an individual until after my two years were up. Going into anything you never know what to fully expect, and that's how I felt about youth bridge but as time progressed so did I.
The greatest lesson youth bridge taught me was how important diversity is. I attended catholic school my whole life, so really the only religion I was fully aware of was Christianity. Of course I've heard of other religions but never in a million years encountered or befriended anyone whose beliefs were different than mine. I learned so much about the kosher lifestyle and even had a few kosher meals which were quite tasty, if I might add. The most shocking revelation was when a fellow of mine who was Muslim, was partaking in Ramadan. It was an eye opener for me to see a boy of the same age have such discipline and strength. This was the first time I realized there is so much more out there, so many people with different views and beliefs not on just religion but life itself. YouthBridge taught me how to interact with people of all ages and backgrounds where before I would have avoided any person who I thought I couldn't relate to. As a teenager I had this fear of anything that was different, there was this comfort I received in feeling like the world is exactly how I thought it was; but now I receive such comfort and joy from learning that the world is nothing like I thought. I now have this yearning to learn about different things, not from textbooks and lectures but from everyday people that come from all over the world, from movies that display truthful plots of countries I've never been. Today I am the girl who will go out of my way to spark a conversation with someone who has an accent or anyone who is nothing like I am. I've learned with the help of youth bridge that the real life lessons and knowledge comes from your experiences and encounters with people. Most people do not understand the diversity within this country until they leave that neighborhood they have lived in for the past 15 years, go to college in a different city or find a job somewhere else; I was lucky to be exposed to this at the age of 16 and today 3 years later I feel like I've met every soul there is to meet because of youth bridge (but sadly I haven't). I can say that YouthBridge-NY has helped me grow into the well rounded young woman I am today and I thank them tremendously. I would not be where I am today without their help, so for that I thank them!
- Victoria Elias: YouthBridge-NY '12; Buffalo State University '16
I think I was more reserved before YBNY and there were people of different nationalities that I hadn't met yet. They all seemed very exotic to me, but once I got to know them I realized that NYC is way more diverse than the Latinos and Blacks that lived in neighborhoods other than mine. I wasn't much of a leader and I don't think I would have used the leadership skills within me if YBNY hadn't helped to bring those qualities out in me. It was a learning experience and a fun extension to school. If I had to do it over again, I would do it the exact same way and I wouldn't change a thing. YBNY helped make the last two years of high school the best years of my life. If there was anything I learned, it was how to network and a lot of basic career advice like what to do at an interview and how to make a resume. If it weren't for YBNY, I wouldn't have known how to advance my career and reach out to people who could have helped me in the future. - Loma Dave: YouthBridge-NY '14; Adelphi University '18
YouthBridge-NY has been a life changing experience ever since the first moment of the retreat. The two-year fellowship allowed me to discover my passion of social justice and policy change. I was able to network with top executives, work in the Mayor's office and make long lasting friendships. Entering as a timid junior, I graduated this past spring as a confidant young woman. My personal growth is credited greatly to the YouthBridge-NY experience. As I enter college this fall, I am most grateful for the amount of opportunities and exposure YouthBridge-NY provided that has made me more prepared to enter the real world. - Monique Tinglin: YouthBridge-NY '14; American University '18
Before joining Youth Bridge I had never been exposed to the amount of diversity that exists in New York. By diversity I not only mean a person's ethnicity but also where they live in New York City. I was introduced to how going to school in the city is different than going to an all-girls high school. I also was passive when it came to group projects and discussions I wouldn't really participate and would stay quiet for the fear of being judged. YBNY changed me and in a positive way. I honestly did not expect it at all I began to take control when being a part of a group project. I also began to speak up when it came to discussions and also network. I was no longer afraid to approach someone and it worked out because there I had a lot of help when going through the whole college application process. It definitely transformed me into a strong leader. Networking was the most important thing I learned I honestly did not know how important it was to open yourself up to people who can help you and provide great insights. I will definitely use this skill throughout my life especially in college. The second thing I learned was that as a leader there are decisions made that you just have to accept. In the grant committee I remember we had a hard time on deciding what organizations to give the grant to. However, at the end we were able to make a difference with the money and even though it was a hard decision everything worked out in the end. I had an amazing time at YBNY and I didn't realize it till now but I really grew from the retreat to our last celebration. It was great to meet so many teenagers like me from all over the city who I've bonded with. My favorite meeting was when we went to see the disabled citizens. Before that meeting I had no idea how hard it was for them and this is the reason why YBNY is so amazing because it introduces you to things you would never realize happen in New York City. Thank you also for teaching me about everything that goes into the grant process. YBNY is an amazing eye-opening experience for any teen leader in NYC. - Kiran Kaul: YB-NY '14; Cornell University '18
Since high school senior year, I've been running a leadership program for Asian American high school women in New York City. From the ground up, I designed the curriculum, did outreach for participants, solicited donations, and facilitated the workshops. The skills I gained from being a fellow and a bridger at YBNY were instrumental in this process; I learned the ABCs (and more!) about grants-writing from the grants committee I sat on as a fellow, effective elevator speeches from the various skills workshops we had, and all about running an independent project under the supervision of an adult/organization from my bridger experience. But most importantly, YBNY served as a wonderful example of what a great youth program is while I was developing my curriculum - thank you YBNY! - Jenny Choi: YB-NY '12; Harvard '16
Coming from a relatively sheltered community in Brooklyn, I was naturally apprehensive about joining a program whose participants would be so different from myself. During the meetings, workshops and seminars at Youthbridge, however, I learned that most differences between teens are superficial; deeper down we all have similar goals, values and interests. Thanks to Youthbridge, I feel more confident with regards to making friends and handling real-world issues, especially in an academic and work environment. - Akiva Blander: YB-NY '11; McGill University '16
Empowered by the tremendous workplace foundation I received during my YouthBridge-NY Fellowship, I am currently working as a campus reporter for FOX News' collegiate affiliate, FNCU. I participated in the Engaging Workplace Diversity program as a YouthBridge-NY Fellow in 2008-2009. Part of that program entailed a six-month summer internship, which I spent at Fox News. I spent the next three summers returning to FOX and building on that first initial internship.Four years later, I am currently working at delivering my own interesting and compelling content in a stimulating form. I bring FOX's viewer attention to the amazing activity at Columbia University and draw upon my skills at script drafting, footage compressing and programming that I learned from my four summer internships at Fox. I act the part of roving reporter, preparing my commentary and getting a rare glimpse into the Columbia University scene's attention-grabbing stories and on-location events. I credit YouthBridge-NY's uncompromising commitment to cultivating and training the leaders of tomorrow for helping me, in particular, recognize and develop my potential as a broadcast journalist-Jacqueline Bryk, YB-NY '09; Columbia University '13
I joined YouthBridge-NY in 2006. One of my friends from school told me about a leadership and diversity program he was part of. I asked him about the application process and he told me it had passed already and I should wait for next year. However, I would not take no for an answer and decided to call the people in charge until they let me join. After the 3rd or 4th phone call they decided to interview me and allowed me to join the program.This was one of the best choices of my life. Not only did I make great friends and professional contacts, but more importantly, I gained valuable leadership skills that I put into effect every day of my life. I learned the true value of diversity in the workplace as well as how to interact with CEO's and government officials in order to build connections that will help pave the road for a brighter future.Overall, my experience with YouthBridge-NY was incredible. So much so, that I am now working with CAUSE-NY and am part of the YouthBridge-NY staff. - Santiago Mueckay: YB-NY '09;
Macaulay Honors Program at Baruch College '13
As a junior at the University of Pennsylvania, I have had many valuable experiences over the past 3 years. I can't help but think of the influence YouthBridge-NY has helped in shaping those experiences. Most concretely, YouthBridge provided me with my first internship, an incredible paid opportunity working for New York City Council, which has led to other career opportunities. More importantly though, YouthBridge gave me the leaderships skills, confidence and poise to lead multiple student organizations at my school while at the same time teaching me how not only respect but connect with peers who come from vastly different backgrounds, I still have close friends at other schools that I made through YouthBridge with whom I keep in touch and we share a deep commitment to understanding diversity and honing leadership. Overall, YouthBridge enhanced my high school experience through providing tangible assets for leadership development and community building which have shaped who I am to this day. - Sam Gersten: YB-NY'10; University of Pennsylvania '14
Youthbridge was an exciting time during my Senior year, that I still think about today. Not only did I get a chance to meet some of the bright emerging leaders from across NYC but we were able to visit and explore some amazing spots all around the city. For example, one of the personal highlights for me was getting the chance to visit Gracie Mansion for an event where Michael Bloomberg was honoring Israel's Independence day. It was such a unique opportunity that I do not believe will come again soon (if ever). It is awesome that years down the road I can still say I got the chance to meet some great people, and be invited to events that most high-schoolers (let alone adults) rarely get the chance to participate.
- Lyubov Zeylikman: YB-NY '08; Carnegie Mellon University '12
As a sophomore at Yale, I can reflect back to four years ago when I just joined YouthBridge-NY. I wasn't sure what kind of community program I wanted to join, and so I searched for broad terms such as outreach and leadership programs. At first I could not conceptualize what leadership training meant and what kind of lessons Youthbridge-NY had to offer. With the guidance of YouthBridge-NY coordinators, we learned to plan events such as high school conferences, write funding proposals, and work with other non-profit organizations. After meeting with other non-profit organizations in New York City, I was impressed by the network of activists working to make an impact on their community. By networking with these community activists, I was able to reach out and invite a speaker to Yale's Asian American Student's Alliance high school conference. As the current co-moderator of the Asian American Student's Alliance (AASA) I wanted to invite a veteran community activist to inspire high school students to initiate a positive change in their communities. One of my goals as the co-moderator of AASA is to spread awareness of political issues in the Asian American community. I am appreciative of the experience that I gained from being a YouthBridge-NY Fellow. - Stella Cao: YN-NY '10; Yale '14
All my life, I believed that leadership was an innate quality, a natural gift bestowed on the charismatic, the articulate, the eloquent, and the cultured. As a stereotypically bookish, introverted, awkward, and tonguetwisted Asian-American boy, I'd long since consigned myself to being a follower. In spite of this skepticism, I applied and was accepted to the program. And fortunately, my beliefs about leadership were proven very, very wrong. It wasn't long before I understood that leadership is earned and cultivated. It doesn't necessarily belong to the individual who talks the prettiest or the loudest. It belongs to the individual who is motivated to do what others are unwilling or unable to do. And YouthBridge-NY provided me so many opportunities to cultivate this skill, whether it was asking me to make a public statement at Borough Hall on behalf of youth against an awful hate crime…or giving my input real weight in a grantmaking process. Had YouthBridge-NY not encouraged me to always step up and take charge, I likely would have been content going through high school in relative anonymity. Instead, I was inspired to dream big and become more, and that made all the difference. - Victor Wong: YB-NY '07; Harvard University '11
I entered the program as an awkward, reserved sophomore with little sense of what it meant to be a leader and how to make a difference within my community. I remember how anxious I felt during the first meeting and can still feel the palpable embarrassment running through me when it was my turn to speak. Fast forward two years and I have changed dramatically, through the guidance of passionate staff members and activities attuned to my interests. Gone is the pimply teenager spooked by his own voice, replaced instead by a leader brimming with self-confidence and possessing the necessary tools to achieve whatever I set my mind to. The best thing about YouthBridge-NY is that it has something for everyone. For me, it was getting the chance to meet prominent members of the city…and learning about local and global issues. The fellowship gave me the opportunity to meet some of the most inspiring and interesting people in my life, many of whom I still have the pleasure of calling my friends today. My time there was invaluable, and I can only imagine it growing and becoming more impactful in the coming years. I am truly excited to see the amazing things the program will accomplish next. - Sean Wong:

All the sites and companies in the elo boosting services are boosting of being the best in the offering of elo boosting services. So what are the factors that should stand out for a company or a site to be eligibly considered as one of the best elo boosting Service Company? All the factors considered that are taken into consideration revolve around the basic concept that they should be improving and developing the services that are offered by the company. Apart from improving the services the factors should also be able to reinforce the affordability, the ease of access as well as the ease of use of the services offered. Paramount to all this is the fact that the factors should be helping the player improve and develop the skills of playing the game better.
Quality services
The best elo boosting services are those that help the company to improve in the service deliver efforts. This is because any company out there acknowledges that customers are attracted by not only the depth of the services that are offered but also the quality and hence the need to ensure that the services offered is top notch. Having a cutting edge in the market is a factor which each and every company strives to produce while customers desire to get value for money by being given the best of services. Elo boosting companies can ensure the quality of the services by working on the critical elements such as the privacy of the information of the players, adding a professional touch to the services that they offer and even improving the security of the information of the users of the site.
Services are cheap and affordable
Not all the customers are able to afford the services offered and therefore the customers will consider going for companies that offer packages that are relatively affordable. The fact that a service is made cheap should not compromise on the quality. When services are made affordable without compromising on their quality, they become appealing to most of the customers who are then able to embrace them and even make referrals of other people to the site or the company.
Services are fast
Customers always want faster response to their requests. Being able to meet the needs of the players by responding to their requests of time improves their confidence in the services offered to them. When quality can be guaranteed then customers do not feel the burden of investing in the services. Hence therefore fastness in the offering of services is a good confidence boost.
Follow up on customer feedback
The main undoing of many sites is the fact that they offer the customers the opportunity to give feedback on a number of issues such as their perception of the quality of the services they have used and even request for suggestions on how to improve or better the services but they stop there. There are no actual changes because they do not synthesize the information and make sense out of it to improve service delivery.

This is just an FYI. Some of you may be aware of this, but it really caught me off guard. I recently had my cholesterol checked and was shocked that it was borderline high. How could this be?!?!? I have been faithful to my workout routine and I have been eating right. All of the things the nurse said I SHOULD do, I am doing. I love the gym and I have found healthy foods that I love to eat. I eat my fruit everyday and most days I get my veggies in. What could be the problem?
So I tip-toed back through my diet and found things that were low in calories and fat, but high in cholesterol. First my protein powder that I drank everyday sometimes twice a day has 30 mg of cholesterol. Then I looked at my convenient frozen healthy lunches; they had 30 - 45 mg. I love burgers, but I recently switched to turkey burgers. Those have 95 mg of the stuff!!! I have also tried veggie burgers and those have none, at least the brand I just bought. Smoked Turkey sausages to take the place of Bratwusts (A Wisconsin Treat) and polish sausages, they have 45 mg per serving!!! My eyes hit the 120 calories and 6 grams of fat on those and went no further. Also, ice cream is my desert of choice has a lot of cholesterol. I do buy the light which does not have as much, but it is still there. Frozen yogurt is a good alternative to the light ice cream.
A little knowledge for the new Sparkies and maybe a reminder for the vets. I was blown away so I wanted to share.
Happy and healthy eating to all.
As I was watching the finale of The Biggest Loser last night (love that show!), the image of a baby learning to walk came into my head. I watched as they played back footage from the first weeks of this season�s show and you saw the contestants falling down, crying, screaming, wanting to quit just as they began this new journey. Their will was being tested, their resolve was being challenged. They were giving attention to the issues that for some played into their obesity. I was just fascinated with Danny (the winner) and all of the contestants who at any point could have walked away. They could have done what was easy and gone back to what was comfortable. But they did not. They hung in there. They kept coming back. They kept getting up. And if any of you watched the show, you know the results of their perseverance. Complete amazing transformations of their bodies.
The relation to a baby learning to walk and the contestants on The Biggest Loser is the getting back up. You see I have been told by the veterans at my gym that the number one thing to succeed at this fitness thing is to keep showing up. Bad days, good days, lose weight or gain weight, keep showing up; keep getting up. Danny, Rudy, Rebecca, Abby, Shay, Amanda and the rest of the Biggest Loser contestants refused to stay down. And neither does a baby learning to walk. They fall�..but they always get up. They wobble back up to their feet and try again. With loved ones cheering them on each time they try and fall. If you keep exercising, eating right and sleeping right, things will work out. If you have a set back, get back up. The main thing that will fuel your success is that you keep getting up. Keep wobbling back up to your feet. And just like a baby, you will be walking into your fit place before you know it. No crowds cheering or confetti falling; just the personal satisfaction that you have done something special for you.
Hats off to Danny!!! I was pulling for him. But I am very happy for all of the contestants. I am totally inspired to keep moving forward. I tip my hat to all of them. And also to all of you in the Spark People community who are doing the same. I can not put in words how inspirational and motivational it is to read about the success of so many here. Keep getting back up!!!
I had the gym all wrong. I was more than hesitant to set foot in a gym to work out. Actually, I was more than hesitant to work out PERIOD. Initially, I did start out at home with workout DVD�s, but with a passionate desire to get in the best shape of my life and to reach my short term goal of losing 50 pounds, I thought I would give the gym a try. So I called a good friend and asked him to get me a day pass. He did better and got me a week pass.
The image I had of the gym was so far from reality. I thought I would find a gym full of fit people looking at the fat guy thinking what is he doing here. I thought if I got on a piece of cardio equipment and got off after 5 minutes, people would laugh at me; even if only on the inside. Trying to use some of the strength training machines and not knowing how to use them; will I make a fool of myself? Bench pressing what I could handle; will I look wimpy with the amount I can lift? I pick up 25 pound dumbbells and the guy next to me is doing the 60 or even the 100 pound ones!!! Man, I didn�t want to do that.
But I have found the gym to be quite the blessing. It is vast array of multi-isms. It is muti-age, multi-color, multi-size, multi-shaped, multi-height, multi-ability and filled with people who are willing to help you. There are those who are very fit at the gym. But there are many who are just like me; trying to get back in shape and lose weight after years of allowing health and fitness to take a back seat to everything else. I have even seen a guy (an older guy too) with both of his legs amputated below the knee with prosthetic legs working out. Seeing him on a treadmill takes away all my excuses. He is one of my many inspirations at the gym.
The thing that has just kept me going though is all of the awesome folks I have met in the gym. People who have been doing the fitness thing for a while and are more than willing to help you do things the right way. It is almost like having multiple personal trainers at your disposal. My first week at the gym, I met a man named Jason who offered me help and has continued to help me some 7 months later. Always willing to answer questions and is always giving me good advice. I do a lot of research on fitness on my own and having someone like that at the gym is a big bonus. And there are so many more like that. I have asked questions of people and they have responded very kind. I have had guys push me and encourage me. It�s like I had this place all wrong. The workers at my gym are super friendly and have noticed and been vocal about the weight I have lost since joining. Congratulating me and encouraging me to press on. And I don�t think it is just because they want my money. They seem to truly care.
The gym may not be for everyone. And I acknowledge that my experience may not be typical. I thank God for my experience. There is still equipment there that intimidates me, but I am declaring this will be the week I overcome one or more of those pieces of equipment. The chest flys on the cable cross machine is one exercise that unnerves me. For those who are intimidated by the muscle bound dudes or maybe the skinny ladies. Let me tell you, for every one of them, there are 3 or 4 like me or maybe you. And you will never get in any kind of decent shape from the outside looking in. It is not as bad as you think. There are six packs, but there are also not so six packs; people who want nothing more than to improve their life.
Every time I see a ripped gray haired guy, I am totally pumped. And I have seen quite a few of them. They make this 40 something year old guy think, it can be done!! If you are on the fence about this, give it a try. Call your local gym, see if you can get a day or week pass and at least try it. The way I feel, the stress relief, what it has done for my blood sugar, cholesterol and my blood pressure is worth it. It may be a challenge at first, but like anything, it gets easier with time and repetition. The number one piece of advice I have received from all that I have talked to at the gym is to just keep coming. Keep showing up, work hard and the rest will take care of itself. What are you waiting for?
I am so excited!!! Let me see where to start. I actually began my trek to better health after a doctors visit in July of 2008. I was called in to speak with him directly after my blood work came back. Needless to say, that scared the crap out of me. They would not tell me anything on the phone, just that he wanted to discuss my blood sugar levels. When I arrived, he sat me down and told me I was a borderline diabetic and my cholesterol was borderline high also. He also said I needed to get my blood pressure down. I went into deep denial about the whole diabetic thing for a while. But then I embraced the idea of seeing the nutrition specialist as he recommended. It was the best move of my life. I started eating better and the pounds began to come off. Oh, by the way, I was 315 pounds at the time.
Then, along came Billy Blanks and Sparkpeople.com!!! I had hit a wall in my weight loss so I began working out with Billy Blanks and his boot camp team. Then my health coach assigned to me through my job told me about Sparkpeople.com. I joined a gym and have been faithful to my fitness routine. I have only been doing this for about a month, but the results have been incredible!!!! I saw my doctor on Tuesday, March 24th and the numbers are in. My A1C number (a three month average of your blood sugar) is down, below that of being borderline diabetic, my cholesterol is way down and my blood pressure is down. And to boot, I feel great!!! Someone responds to me almost everyday about my weight loss. As of my last weigh in, I have lost 34 pounds since that day in July. I have a ways to go before I reach my goal, but I am excited about how far I have come. And I will press on to my goal taking it one pound at a time.
I am sharing this with my Spark community to say it really works!!! You can do it. I was amazed at how things changed. Don't give up. Do not throw in the towel. Keep the faith. keep working hard. Encourage yourself even if no one else does. At times it may not be easy, but nothing good ever comes easy. I am happy with my test results and elated that I do not have to buy expensive medicines. And I wanted to share my good news with my friends. Some of you may have been diagnosed as either borderline or as a full blown type 2 diabetic. You may have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Well, let me tell you fitness works!!! Eating healthy works!!! It may not be easy (it is getting easier), but it is possible!! And with the support you find on this site, you can do it!!! We can do it!!! With lots of prayer and lots of work, we can do it.
It really does work!!!

Paco Rabanne – one of the quintessential labels of the Sixties, is making a comeback! Instantly recognisable by their space-age appearance and metallic colour palette, the first items that will find their way onto the most fashionable of arms will be the iconic 1969 chainmail handbags; available from Dover St Market from January.
Next will be ready to wear. The original designer, Paco Rabanne is no longer the creative director, although he is involved in a consultancy role. He's said "The Paco Rabanne brand is and must remain what it has always been: audacious." We agree. But who can take the label back to its heyday, when imagination was the limit and a PVC mini dress with matching boots or an ensemble made entirely of plastic hoops were the very last word in chic? Who out there has an imagination ridiculous enough yet is also a respected designer with the commercial know-how to run his own label?
Step forward Mannish Arora! Yep, the man repsonsible for Katy Perry's merry-go-round dress and Nicki Minaj's most terrifying ensemble to date has been linked to the revived label. As we say, this has not been confirmed, although we think it seems like a plausible match.
Meanwhile, over in luxury label corner, more rumours beset the house of Yves Saint Laurent. Beleaguered incumbent designer Stefano Pilati's job is now whispered to be about to be offered to Haider Ackermann, the man who Karl Lagerfeld wouldn't mind replacing him (ONE day!) at Chanel. . . like we say, it's idle chatter at this stage so continue to watch this space and you'll know as soon as we do!

A term in which college age students use to describe being exiled from their dorm or apartment when one of the roommates is engaging in sexual activity. This usually happens because the occupant does not want to be interrupted. A way in which to notify the roommate would be to hang a "You've Been Sexiled" hanger on the outside door handle of the residency. These hang tags can be found and downloaded for free at www.thesexiled.com

Bell Centre from the light of a snowy day, and a snowy evening, from my hotel.
Good day from Montreal, where the Wild visits the Canadiens, the last-place team in the Eastern Conference, tonight. 6:15 p.m. CT puck drop. This will be the first meeting since the Habs came to Minnesota and edged the Wild by an 8-1 score.
Niklas Backstrom is in the cage tonight, meaning Josh Harding almost certainly starts tomorrow in Detroit.
Coach Mike Yeo unveiled some new lines tonight:
Dany Heatley-Kyle Brodziak-Nick Palmieri (who played with Ilya Kovalchuk and Travis Zajac at times last year)
Cal Clutterbuck-Matt Cullen-Devin Setoguchi
Stephane Veilleux-Warren Peters-Jed Ortmeyer
Matt Kassian-Darroll Powe-Nick Johnson
That leaves one extra: And the winner is? Erik Christensen, who has no points in 12 games and is a well-earned minus-11. The final straw was the second goal the other night. Marco Scandella and Tom Gilbert were playing the system to perfection. Problem was the system Gilbert was playing was, understably, Edmonton's.
So when Scandella went to reverse the puck thinking Gilbert would be a few feet from him, Gilbert was actually on the other side expecting a D-to-D pass.
Still would have been no problem though if Christensen wasn't swinging away from the play and going up ice. That left Scandella with precious few options, he turned the puck over, and Anze Kopitar hit a wide-open Dwight King in front of the net. Gilbert's gotten more of a tutorial on the Wild system the last couple days. Basically, the Wild wants to reverse the puck in that situation and go up the boards along the strong side of the ice.
Yeo said it's one thing not to score, but it's another if you're continually on the ice for goals against. Hence, that's why Christensen won't play tonight. The next short leash in my opinion is Johnson. He also made some very poor defensive-zone reads the other night that cost goals and that's been happening a lot lately.
Brad Staubitz will make his home debut coincidentally against his old club tonight. Claimed off re-entry waivers Monday by Montreal, Staubitz earned 17 penalty minutes in his debut in Tampa, including 12 minutes without even being on the ice. He reached into a Ryan Malone scuffle and became the first Canadien in the franchise's stories history to get his first PIM's without being on the ice.
He was funny this morning. He did say no chance he fights Kassian. He said ideally he'd like to get his first goal and had a couple IOU's to cash in. Bring up Staubitz to any Wild players ever, and they start laughing. He's a character and teammates loved the guy. He said he expects it to be a fun game against his old team. He did say he wishes he paid more attention in French class so he could communicate more with the local press.
Staubitz is behind this horde.
Speaking of French, Clutterbuck held court with the French media this morning. If you remember the big piece I wrote on Clutterbuck in 2009 (how couldn't you?), his mom,, Jocelyn, is a teacher in the French Catholic School system in Welland, Ont., he went to a French school until Grade 8, he speaks to all the Wild francophones in French and talks behind his dad's back to his mom in French (just a kidding). He actually said his dad has started to get the gist of what he says to his mom in French.
I talked to Clutterbuck about his short fuse lately, and that'll be in tomorrow's paper.
Scandella, who hails from an Italian section of Montreal, will play his first game against the Canadiens in front of 16 family members tonight.
What else?
Check out my Sunday column this week. I'll be talking a lot about next season and all the Wild prospects about to turn pro.
Charlie Coyle is the latest to sign on. The 28th pick in the 2010 draft got the same contract Saint John teammate Zack Phillips, the 28th pick in the 2011 draft, signed. $832,500 annually in the NHL, $92,500 signing bonus, small performance bonuses.
A lot of the Wild kids should be heading to Houston on amateur tryout contracts when their respective seasons end. Coyle and Phillips though could have long playoff runs with Saint John. By the way, I've been saying lately that Phillips would have to return to junior next year if he doesn't make the team. I am wrong. He can go to Houston.
One guy I'm wondering if we see in Minnesota is Brett Bulmer. Technically when his season ends he can be recalled by the Wild. That would be his 10th game, which means the Wild would burn a year of his contract, but with all these kids starting at once next year, as I've mentioned before, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start Bulmer's contract now so all these first contracts aren't expiring at the same time.
The Wild, by the way, is at 49 contracts. That means if they're going to sign college free agents, only one contract could start this year if they wanted it to. But the Wild has to start counting contracts for next year with so many kids turning pro, so I don't see the Wild being very aggressive on the college free agent market. They'd like to add more depth on defense if they could, so maybe they sign a defenseman or two. But the Wild, I think, would only go after guys that definitely have a chance to one day play in the NHL.
The college free-agent market is interesting. It's getting to the point where teams are brawling with each other to sign American Leaguers.
That's it for me. Talk to you tonight.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
He's had some pretty DAMN good matches in the last year or so. His match with DOLPH at No Way Out 2012 was one of the most underrated contests of the year, and I can't fucking wait to watch the Main Event match once I'm done with NWO 2007. His matches vs Big Show and vs Bryan are some of the best contests of 2012 now.... Confident that a Sheamus-Orton match at Wrestlemania would fucking rule and most of that would be because of Sheamus, even though I'm a big time fan of FACE Orton.
NWO 2007 has such a kick-ass opener. Benoit/Hardyz vs MVP/MNM is basically a Benoit showcase where he destroys everybody for like 20 minutes straight. Mercury taps to the crossface in like a MILLASECOND. WATCH IT. Fuck I miss Benoit.

So with that being said, all of the intangibles that a quarterback is supposed to have, they overlooked it with him because it was burning from inside of him" - Ray Lewis on Tom Brady

At Wedo Mattresses we are pleased to be able to bring you the Opera Beds range. The Opera Beds Anima 1000 Pocket Mattress is the entry level mattress in this range of high quality, handmade mattresses and offers the luxury synonymous with this range at an affordable price.
There are 1000 pocket springs in this mattress which are hand nested and use an Active Support Technology which helps you to find the perfect sleeping position, so that you can relax into a pleasant and reinvigorating sleep. The reason the springs can do this is because they each sit inside of their own fabric pocket and are therefore not attached directly to each other. This allows them to move independently of each other, so that they contour to the natural shape of your body, giving the parts of your body that need more support just that.
Aside from the excellent support from the springs, the mattress also has completely natural fillings, which not only makes it more comfortable than a mattress which uses man made fillings, but also more durable. This mattress utilises pure white cashmere, silk, wool, cotton and mohair. These all perform a different function, from the softening effect of the cotton and cashmere to the mohair allowing air to flow through the mattress better. Another extra benefit of natural fibres is that they cause fewer allergic reactions and are much more ecologically friendly, all coming from renewable sources and involving no chemicals in their manufacture.
The mattress is also available in either medium, firm or a dual tension. The dual tension is with one side medium and the other firm. This means that if you and your partner have different preferences when it comes to firmness you can both have what you want. Just remember, when you turn the mattress you will need to rotate it as well.

"Great service, easy to use website, excellent delivery, I would recommend this company.
Sharron, Manchester
Price and comfort all good
Such a comfortable mattress and at half the price of some other makes. Not heard of Opera Beds before but glad I took the plunge
Comfortable, deep, well-made
I spent quite a bit of time researching mattresses, there seems to be an awful lot of choice out there and it can get somewhat confusing. I've seen plenty of mattresses from better known names with very similar descriptions but that were much more expensive than this one. Not wanting to spend a fortune but also wanting to make sure I got a good mattress this seemed about right. I have not been disappointed, it is as good as it sounds on the website. It feels well made, is deep and sturdy and lying on it you can't feel the springs and feel really well supported. Arrived on time and the delivery man was very helpful, I had been told he would not be able to help me up the stairs with it but he agreed to help with no quibbles. All in all couldn't be much more impressed with the service and the mattress.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte: Important Sandy relief bill uses crisis to go on spending spree
But even with our nation $16.4 trillion in debt, some in Washington still believe that a crisis isn't something that should go to waste. And as additional Sandy relief legislation was written, a few members of Congress decided to use an emergency disaster recovery bill to give a free ride to millions in non-emergency spending. It's precisely the kind of irresponsible spending practice that is bankrupting our country.
With thousands of homes destroyed and businesses in ruins, we should prioritize emergency aid for Sandy's victims to recover, rebuild and return to normal. In December, when Congress first attempted to pass a relief bill, I voted in favor of a $24 billion package that would expedite aid to those who need it most urgently. This legislation was written based on addressing immediate needs - and it didn't include millions in spending that was unrelated to helping individuals and communities recover from last fall's devastating storm.
Unfortunately, the bill I voted for was defeated. And the Senate voted instead this week - without my support - to put taxpayers on the hook for a separate $50.5 billion package, larded up with money for projects far away from storm-ravaged areas of New York and New Jersey. When all is said and done, the combined cost of this bill and the initial $9.7 billion in aid - plus interest - will have increased the public debt by $70 billion.
When writing disaster relief legislation, Congress must distinguish between immediate emergency response needs and non-emergency, longer-term priorities that should be considered within the constraints of the federal budget. As the nation once again bumps up against the debt ceiling, we're reminded of the need to make tough choices when determining federal spending priorities - decisions that should occur as part of the traditional process of writing a budget, which the Senate has failed to do for nearly four years.
Instead of writing straightforward legislation focused on helping Sandy victims get back on their feet, the bill that Congress approved goes far beyond the devastated areas. Using important disaster relief legislation to pass unrelated spending is exactly the kind of thing that has the American people so frustrated with Washington, and rightfully so.
For example, such "emergency" Sandy funding includes $2 million for roof repairs at the Smithsonian in Washington, $4 million for the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and $16 billion that can be used in 47 states for past and future events from 2011 through 2013.
There's $10 million to buy the FBI new vehicles when it already has plenty of vehicles to repurpose, and $50 million in unrequested funds for the National Park Service.
The bill also provides $1.7 billion in highway spending that is not restricted to Sandy-impacted states and may be used for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This kind of spending should be carefully considered on the merits and paid for - not stuffed into emergency legislation to help Sandy disaster victims.
When total Sandy spending is added up, it's more than the annual budget for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. And it's more than twice the annual budget of the U.S. Energy Department.
It's important to understand that the legislation bypassed the committee process altogether, leaving no opportunity to carefully scrutinize spending it contained for 64 programs across 17 different agencies. While we should move quickly to deliver aid that is urgently needed, non-emergency funding should be carefully reviewed and prioritized by relevant congressional committees - not blindly passed as part of an important emergency relief bill.
Finally, if a main goal of the Sandy relief legislation that passed the Senate was to quickly get resources into the hands of those who need it most, the final product fell short. Under the measure that passed, only seven percent of funds - about $3.6 billion - would be spent over the next nine months. Seventy percent of the funding wouldn't be spent until 2015 and beyond.
Without question, we should help Hurricane Sandy victims with emergency relief legislation. But the days of using a crisis to pass bloated bills stuffed with non-emergency spending further burying us in debt must end.
