A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for robbing NBA star Antoine Walker at gunpoint at his Chicago home.
Antoine Larkins pleaded guilty Tuesday to home invasion charges. He and three others were initially charged with armed robbery, aggravated kidnapping and home invasion.
Authorities said Walker was pulling into his garage on July 9, 2007, when several armed men ambushed him, forced him and an assistant inside his home and took a car, cash and jewelry.
One suspect, 24-year-old Gregory Reedfields, has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The other two, 30-year-old Phillip Allison and 27-year-old Demorris Hill, are also accused of robbing the home of Knicks player Eddy Curry in 2007. Their cases are pending.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - A text message tip leads to a teens arrest for selling drugs at a local high school.
The 17 year old was arrested Tuesday with 20 grams of marijuana in a backpack at Fort Myers High School.
Authorities say they were tipped off about the student by an anonymous text message.
Last month, detectives passed out hundreds of cards showing students how they could text tips.

Since I didn't blog last week, I'll just give my thoughts on both last week and this week's episodes.
The trip to Anguilla was gorgeous! I loved it and I am sooo glad Todd surprised me and came along. I really didn't think he was going to make it. It would have sucked to have to go to a beautiful island like Anguilla and be alone while everyone else had their significant other.
Well, I didn't know Kenya very well prior to the trip, but I think I learned a few things along the way. She has a flirtatious personality. Some of the things that she was saying and doing to other men I thought crossed the line for someone who supposedly wanted to be proposed to on that trip. The whole time I kept thinking, "Wow, Walter isn't bothered by some of this?" Like her flirting with the two men at the party or her bending over in front of Peter, etc. Well, I just came to the assumption that maybe it's just harmless flirting and Walter already knows and understands that's just her personality. But even though Walter may understand, Phaedra definitely didn't. Phaedra does not play about her husband, and she let it be known. LOL!

Doctor says Cyrus Kouandjio's knee is fine. Greg Gabriel
Right before the offensive linemen began to workout at the Combine, reports began to circulate that Alabama offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio had failed some clubs medicals because of a bad knee. Having been involved with the Combine since it began in 1985, this was the first time I had ever heard that a player had problems with the medical that quickly.
The team doctors don't always get the results of MRIs that quickly because of the high number of players getting examined in such a short time frame. Being that I am no longer with a club, I have no idea if the original report was true or not, but I find it despicable that anyone would leak that information. Medical information at the combine is private and there is no place for it in the public domain. That said, if a few teams had a problem with Kouandjio's medical, that does not mean that every team did. Every year, there is a variety of opinions on most players' medicals.
The day the original report on Kouandjio came out I was talking to a colleague at the NFP. I told him "watch, within two weeks there will be a medical report made public stating that Kouandjio's knees are fine". Sure enough, today, CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora came out with a report that Dr. James Andrews wrote all 32 teams saying that there are no issues with Kouandjio's knee.
Here is the problem with all of this. Kouandjio's agent had to go into damage control after the original report came out. He goes to a doctor and has his player's knee examined and the doctor says it's fine. While the doctor's report might make fans feel a little better about the situation, it really means nothing to the 32 NFL teams.
Every team in the NFL has multiple doctors on their staff. All are very renowned in their specialty. Every one of these doctors could care less what Dr. Andrews thinks of Kouandjio's knee. Dr. Andrews does not work for those clubs, and his opinion means nothing. The clubs only care what their doctor thinks. If a team physician feels there is a problem with a prospect, he will red flag that prospect regardless of anyone else's opinion. It has to be that way. If it isn't, the club is making a mistake having that doctor on their staff.
What we saw today was nothing but public damage control, and in the long run, probably a waste of money on the agent's part.

The Zero Carbon Australia Land Use report can be downloaded here
Agriculture and forestry activities cover most of Australia, but increasingly, no longer our national consciousness. With most of our population now living in the cities, the remainder of the continent is often forgotten. The vast space between our coastlines is not empty, however. In fact most of it is farmed and managed for a wide variety of commercial purposes.
Beyond Zero Emissions has been working for several years on a major research project to look at reducing greenhouse emissions from the Land Use sector — agriculture and forestry. The result, released this week, is the Zero Carbon Australia Land Use Report.
The report shows a surprisingly high emissions profile for the Land Use sector, a sector that will be most impacted by climate change. But well-understood and already widely practiced strategies can move the sector a long distance towards the goal of zero emissions, helping to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
The research proceeded from an initial investigation into where emissions in the sector come from, and at what magnitude. It turns out that various activities on the land including farming, forestry, and land-clearing, account for a huge proportion of our national emissions. This is masked in our national accounts, which splits the sector and offsets its emissions against reductions from revegetation of land.
By including all emissions from farming and land-clearing for agriculture, we derived a figure of 33 per cent of Australia's annual emissions coming from land use practices.
The largest contributor was land clearing and re-clearing, followed by enteric fermentation (the production of methane by ruminant animals' digestive systems, mainly cattle and sheep).
The report also found that carbon stocks in native forests are systematically underestimated by a factor of up to four or five, so that the climate impact of native forest logging is much higher than previously thought. If the report had been able to include an adequate appraisal of emissions from clearfell logging, total land use emissions would be higher still.

High speed rail could be back on the political agenda with the release of a new report which shows that the network can be built for $30 billion less than previous projections.
Climate change think tank Beyond Zero Emissions presented a report last night in Brisbane, which demonstrated the commercial viability of building a high speed rail network along Australia's East Coast.
The proposed network would connect Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne across a dedicated 1748km route.
The service would include stops at the Gold Coast, Casino, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Newcastle, the Central Coast, the Southern Highlands, Wagga Wagga, Albury-Wodonga and Shepparton.
"We've had high speed rail in Europe for thirty years, it's been in Japan for fifty years and it's going crazy in China," CEO of Beyond Zero Emissions, Stephen Bygrave, told ABC Coffs Coast.
By Darren Coyne, Echonet Daily, 10/11/2014
A high-speed rail proposal was last night described as 'pie in the sky' but still received backing from a majority of Lismore city councillors.
Cr Simon Clough had put forward a motion to write to the Prime Minister Tony Abbott and relevant ministers supporting the proposal, which is detailed in a report by a German company and its Australian partners.
Cr Clough said the project, estimated to cost $84 billion, would link Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as regional areas including Lismore.
'Lismore would be the third stop from Brisbane and it would open a wide range of opportunities for this city', he said.
'The proposed station would be near the showgrounds and the thing that appeals to me is the renewable energy aspect of it.'
'It could be built in ten years', he said.

IT could be faster than flying, good for the environment and be our next great "nation-building exercise". But does Australia have the wherewithal to make an idea as big and expensive as high-speed rail a reality?
Climate change think tank Beyond Zero Emissions will present a report in Brisbane tonight that advocates for Australia to take up this major infrastructure challenge.
Its research finds that a high-speed rail network on Australia's east coast could be built for $30 billion less than previous projections and the system would be faster, cheaper and cleaner than air travel.

"Zero emissions is an ambitious but achievable goal." --UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Zero has become the most important number for humanity. Why?
Any chance of stabilizing the climate hinges on transitioning to zero greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as humanly possible. Simply slowing the rise of emissions will not work. For the first time, the world's leading climate authority, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has embraced a goal of near zero greenhouse gas emissions or below.
Top military experts and government institutions like the U.S. Department of Defense and National Intelligence Council warn that climate destabilization threatens our national security, yet global emissions just keep going up. Leading biologists like E.O. Wilson warn that the sixth great extinction is now upon us, yet emissions keep going up.
By heating the globe at such a relentless rate, we are playing a deadly game of planetary Russian roulette. In the words of Michael Mann, professor of meteorology at Penn State University: "There is no precedent for what we are doing to the atmosphere. It is an uncontrolled experiment." If you believe your own eyes that climate chaos has already gone too far, the only logical response is to stop making things worse.
By Stephen Bygrave. From Climate Spectator, July 22 2014.
With the amount of rhetoric flying around regarding electricity bills and energy in recent years, you'd be hard pressed to find any points of clarity amongst the noise. For the average punter with little knowledge about energy and politics, the public discussion is bewildering, however much their electricity bill may concern them.
Let's take a selection of assertions that have been made in the "expert" and partisan commentary on the energy market to illustrate some of these points:
However, it's the simple truths that manage to cut through all the noise.
One simple truth is that renewable energy has led to lower wholesale electricity prices. This occurs due to a well-researched (but little reported) dynamic in energy markets known as the Merit Order Effect (see this video that explains it clearly). Perhaps the reason it hasn't caught on is because there's little or no evidence that lower wholesale prices have been passed on to consumers in the form of lower energy bills. Certainly, there has been little reporting of the effect.
We have on the other hand seen many (misleading) appeals to a supposed public good, blaming solar homeowners for everyone else's rising electricity prices.
All this hasn't stemmed the flood of homes embracing solar. There's well over a million households in Australia now generating their own solar electricity.
Now, as gas bills begin a sharp climb that could emulate the previous rise in electricity bills, those solar panels on your neighbours' house will look even more enticing.

The case for fast trains has never been stronger, and inaction just drives the cost higher.
The engineering think tank Beyond Zero Emissions recently released a report on the construction of a high-speed railway. The project's leader, Gerard Drew, told a meeting in Sydney that on his scheme the Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne corridor would be linked by 2030 with trains running at 350km/h and possibly faster.
The study proved such a project could be justified. More importantly, perhaps, it demonstrated it could be financially viable. "High speed rail would halve air travel," says the group's chief executive officer, Stephen Bygrave. "It's faster, more convenient and it will make a profit."
On the basis of overseas experience, the study team estimated that, if the line was built by 2030, 65 per cent of people travelling Brisbane–Sydney or Sydney–Melbourne would use the train. Given current projections of the growth of traffic along the corridor, that implies about 68 million passengers a year.
Daryl Passmore, The Sunday Mail (Qld), May 11, 2014

IMAGINE boarding a train at Brisbane's Roma Street at 9am and getting off at Sydney's Central Station at noon.
Imagine living near the beach on the Gold Coast and commuting to work in Brisbane's CBD within 20 minutes.
Both could be a reality in little more than a decade, according to a new report which says high speed rail is not only achievable and affordable, but essential to Australia's future.
Detailed research by Melbourne University's Energy Institute, think-tank Beyond Zero Emissions and the German Aerospace Center, concludes that a 1799km network linking Brisbane and the Gold Coast to Sydney and Melbourne could be operating by 2025.
"This is a faster, better, cleaner cheaper and more convenient form of travel. It is vital to Australia's future," Beyond Zero Emissions CEO Stephen Bygrave said.
By Damien Larkins and Bern Young, ABC Gold Coast.
Travelling from the Gold Coast to Brisbane in just 20 minutes could be a reality by the year 2025, researchers say.
A report from University of Melbourne's Energy Institute Energy Institute says an $84 billion high speed rail (HSR) network along Australia's east coast is the answer.
Australian think tank Beyond Zero Emissions, a part of the energy institute, says HSR is a clean, more efficient and faster way to travel.
Beyond Zero Emissions chief executive Dr Stephen Bygrave says existing networks in countries like Germany, Japan and China are already leading the way.
"It's an idea in Australia, but when you go overseas you see that this is actually a very real technology, a very real prospect," he said.
"The potential in Australia is huge, we're just not making the most of our potential."

Call it reckless, short-sighted or just "plane stupid", but the federal government's decision to press ahead with a second Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek defies logic.
Along with the noise pollution it will inflict on western Sydney, the airport will spawn a huge amount of extra carbon pollution — something we cannot afford in an age of dangerous climate change.
Sydney does not need another airport because there is another, better way. A high-speed train line linking Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane could reduce air traffic drastically. It could take passengers from Sydney to Canberra, Brisbane or Melbourne in timeframes that are comparable to flying, but with cheaper fares and big cuts in carbon emissions. A new report released by the climate solutions think tank Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) shows how it could be done.
BZE has launched Energy Freedom, helping Australians to transform their homes into renewable energy powerhouses. Check out our new website for the 9 steps to energy freedom.
Beyond Zero Emissions Inc. is a not-for-profit research and education organisation known for its work designing and implementing a zero emissions economy for Australia. Its goal is to transform Australia from a 19th century fossil fuel based, emissions intensive, economy to a 21st-century renewable-energy-powered clean-tech economy.Read more

VERY CREATIVE! We found the opera everything that opera should be, and more. It had great appeal in terms of set design, staging/acting, spectacle, choreography, music (both vocal and orchestral); it was as good as it gets plus it had an added dimension in that the narrative had more "substance" and challenged us to think. Don't miss the pre-show talk. It helps. That being said, this is not for everyone. If you're looking for lyrical Italian opera, you may be disappointed. But if you are willing to stretch yourself and are open to new encounters, you will experience an enjoyable evening.

I have loved this opera for years and I am fortunate to have seen it in Long Beach - twice. Kudos to Long Beach Opera.

Fact and fantasy fuse together in a momentous culture clash that forms the basis for this landmark opera by Pulitzer Prize and Grammy-winning composer, John Adams. In the composer's words: "It is part epic, part satire, part a parody of political posturing, and part serious examination of historical, philosophical, and even gender issues."

Love this salt pig
I love this salt pig. Not only is it cute but very practical. I bought one to put on my stove and ended up buying a second one for my stove. I have one full of Kosher salt and the other cracked pepper. I use them everyday and really love them.I recommend this product.
Spoon was broken but I called ~~
Spoon was broken , but I called right away. It was after 3 in the afternoon. I explained my situation and was assured I would have a replacement. To my surprise , I received a new one the very next day !!! I had made it a point to tell the woman I spoke to to make sure the spoon was packaged better as I did not want it to arrive the same way. Everything came in one piece ! WOW what Great service !! Oh by the way ~~ The pig is the cutest ... hes on my counter and I love it !I recommend this product.

Love the whimsy of this pink salt pig. I saw it on the show Down Home With The Neelys and thought it was so cute and wanted one for my kitchen. Everyone that comes into the kitchen makes a comment about my pink salt pig! Love it! TheresaI recommend this product.

My husband initially thought the idea of a salt pig was silly, but he's a total convert now. It's so nice having a convenient container of salt right next to the stove, either to dip a measuring spoon in (much less messy than trying to pour into a spoon from the blue canister) or to take a pinch. And it's pink, with ears and a little curly tail in the back! What more could you ask for?I recommend this product.

This is a handy little container, much more convenient than the box in the cabinet where my kosher salt previously lived. The spoon is a bit small, so I usually just stick my hand in and grab some - this could be a problem if you have big hands. I've been giving these away as housewarming gifts and everyone loves them!I recommend this product.

I love him!
As soon as I took it out of the box, my sister wanted to name it. It's a very cute thing to have on the counter.
I really like the convenience this lends. I keep a big box of Kosher salt over my refrigerator and need a chair to get at it. Since I'm a little lazy or often rushing, I would often abandon the Kosher and go for table or ground sea salt, when I really wanted to use Kosher salt. Piggy helps this.
It holds quite a bit of salt - maybe 3/4 cup. This isn't a whole lot, especially if you use if for seasoning pasta water and the like, but is enough that you don't have to refill every day or two.
I'm unsure about how I feel about the included spoon. This, of course, isn't a big deal - I can use any spoon I want. See, the spoon is very shallow, so it doesn't hold much salt. I end up piling it high and then spilling it on the counter. Sure I could pick up the whole pig, and I sometimes do. But again, when I'm rushing, every second counts. The other thing about the spoon is that salt kind of sticks to it. I'm not sure if it's from humidity or static electricity or what, but it's not that big a deal.
I haven't had any problem with clumping salt. I first thought moisture was a problem because of the salt sticking to the spoon, but it's not. Ceramic should absorb a little moisture, keeping the salt dry. I wouldn't recommend this product for fine salt though.
And you can't beat the price.I recommend this product.

Ten years after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, North Texas teachers are gathering high school students to discuss the tragedy, dispatching middle schoolers to interview their parents, and prompting fifth-graders to write thank-you letters to first responders.Teachers are also doing a lot of listening and explaining to a generation too young to remember when the twin towers fell.Beyond New York and New Jersey, Texas is one of only a few states to include the study of 9-11 and its related events in the required curriculum. Texas mandates that students learn about the day when more than 3,000 people died in New York City, Virginia and Pennsylvania in the largest act of terrorism on American soil.Pat Hardy, one of the 15 elected members of the State Board of Education, said the panel's inclusion of specific references to 9-11 was anticlimactic when it adopted new standards in May 2010."It wasn't controversial because it was a part of history," she said. "If you think about it, history is often not taught until quite a few years after the event. But you couldn't possibly teach your high school U.S. history classes without teaching about 9-11 and the war on terror."Teachers' discretionTexas standards call for fifth-grade social studies to include some aspects of 9-11 beginning this school year. Eighth-graders and high-school students also are revisiting the subject, but in more depth.How students learn about the sensitive subject is usually left up to individual teachers' discretion, letting them decide what their students need to learn about 9-11.Chad Hannon, a history teacher at Grapevine Middle School, has discovered that many of his students have only a visual record of that fateful day. That is what they remember, not the details. His eighth-graders have been interviewing adults about 9-11 and their reactions."They have no idea what was going through people's heads," said Hannon, who was in college when the attacks happened. "The main thing they've realized is how confusing it all was."I wanted them to get the idea that history is remembered in memory, not just as an event in film and textbooks."At Chisholm Middle School in the Northwest district, choir teacher Stephanie Thurston has used the arts to teach pre-teens about the meaning of 9-11, but she often finds herself filling in the facts for her curious students."Some children remembered their mothers watching TV and crying," Thurston said. "Some thought it was a bomb. Some of them knew about this guy bin Laden that was killed in May, but they didn't know how it was connected."Cari Smith, a fifth-grade teacher at Timberline Elementary School in Grapevine, also answers a lot of questions."Some children come to you who have a million questions, rumors and misconceptions about it," Smith said. "Others haven't heard a lot about it in their household, and some students' families weren't in this country at the time and don't know much about it."Extra resourcesMany school districts and curriculum chiefs have been busy compiling extra resources for teachers, including age-appropriate websites, computer programs and materials from the National Archives and the Library of Congress."It's our history, and we need to educate our students about it the same way we talk about the Civil War, World War I and World War II," said Angela Whitaker, Fort Worth's social studies director.At Larson Elementary School in the Arlington district, counselor Debbie Thibodeaux provided teachers with several lesson plans for today that stress everyday citizenship.Kindergartners will learn about the meaning of the pledge to the flag, and sixth-graders will relate the events of 9-11 to the Constitution.Curriculum extras are nice, but many teachers strongly believe their own experiences are valuable teaching tools."They see my emotion about it," Smith said. "I do share with them the fact that I remember the events of the day down to what I was wearing. I think that helps them gain a sense of importance about it."Staff writers Jessamy Brown, Eva-Marie Ayala and Martha Deller contributed to this report.Shirley Jinkins, 817-390-7657
9-11 in the Texas
social studies curriculum
Fifth-grade history: Important issues, events and individuals in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries, including the war on terror.
Ninth-grade world history: The development of radical Islamic fundamentalism and the rise of terrorist groups, their impact on the late 20th century, and the U.S. response to terrorism since 9-11.
11th grade: Specific turning points in U.S. history since 1877, including the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and U.S. involvement in world affairs and the global war on terror. Also, post-9-11 constitutional issues regarding federal government policy changes, and legislation including the Patriot Act.
Other observances
During Celebrate Freedom Week next week, Texas law requires social studies instruction for grades three and higher on the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. A nationally designated U.S. Constitution Day on Sept. 17 completes the week.

Next week, nearly 1,600 air show professionals will gather at
the International Council of Air Shows Convention in Las Vegas,
Nevada. To celebrate the 2009 ICAS Convention, Aero-TV is
profiling some of the most extraordinary air show performers
we've had the honor to meet over the last year.
Matt Younkin is renown for having one of the most astonishing
acts in one of the must unique aircraft on the aviation circuit,
the Twin Beech 18. The breath-taking aerobatic routine was
first perfected and performed by Younkin's father, legendary
air show performer Bobby Younkin, over 20 years ago.
As Bobby Younkin said, "An air show act must be unique and
original to be successful. People come to air shows to see
the impossible take place." Matt Younkin's effort
to continue that legacy has been nothing short of extraordinary;
Younkin spent remarkable time and effort learning the Twin Beech 18
routine after his father's untimely passing in 2005.
The spectacular aerial performance, a mirror image of his
father's routine, continues to electrify crowds across the
country, both aviation enthusiasts and aerobatics experts
alike. In addition, Younkin now performs the world's
only night aerobatic display in the Beech 18; equipped with 17
spotlights and 13 strobes, the Twin Beech 18 lights up the sky with
stunning intensity. Besides the Twin Beech, Younkin also
performs several routines featuring both the 1929 Travel Air
Mystery Ship and a Super Decathlon.
Note: The Aero-News Network would like to
extend our prayers and thoughts to Matt and Matt's
family. We are wishing you a speedy recovery, and we look
forward to seeing you on the air show circuit in 2010!

Today, I made this wonderfully delicious looking meat loaf. Doesn't it looks yummy? I've been trying/flowing ETL style ( mostly whole foods, plant based foods.) of living for a while. This is "Apple walnut lentil loaf." I just can't believe myself, that I've made this. Yes me!, I have never dreamed of me!? Making vegetarian meat loaf? First of all, I never thought of I'll be enjoy and choose to cook/eat vegetarian style meal like this. Lol))
This is my very first time making this particular recipe and I didn't fallow the recipe to "T." I even forgot to put the oats flour that recipe called for. I milled my oat meal and made flour for it, but when I put it loaf ingredients together, I forgot to put it in. Lol.)) But even with missing ingredient it was soooo yummy! Its even looks like real meat loaf but much healthier. And you will not miss the meat with this! But it does not contain "no meat" not even an egg!
Love the texture of walnuts, its compliment very well.
Since I didn't had a parchment paper for a loaf pan, to be safe side I used silicon round pan. So it actually looks more like a meat pie with out the crust. My skill of chopping for veggies got wild and I used multiple pots and pan, my kitchen turned out kinda messy. But it was worth making the mess! I've got compliments. My DH is very new to this type of vegetarian eating. But he really loved it and said "I can eat like this, It's a home run Mami!"( *\(^o^)/*Yay! ) I'm really trying my best to introducing my DH the healthy way of eating due to his health concern. So I am very pleased and happy how tonight's dinner turns out. A complete healthy meal.
Mission accomplished! I found this loaf recipe at our ETL team's share recipe thread. Our fellow member Dragonchick had posted it in there while ago. She said she make this often. and I always wanted to try it, but didn't think I can do it. But I'm glad I did it. No wonder this one is her favorite. (^^) It's a keeper and will be one of our staple dinner for sure.
Thanks DC for posting this recipe. I really recommend this recipe to anyone who want to enjoy great tasting healthy meal and/or who want to try out vegetarian style savory meal. Here is the recipe if you are interested. It's from Angela's oh she glow Web site. She does make great recipes! " Thanks Angela!
* Have a wonderful and healthy weekend everyone!
I was taking a partial spark break. But I actually took a break from my healthy life style as well. Tell the truth, I was struggling with my personal life that has thrown me an expected curveball. And I had to deal with PTSD issue of my past, that had surfaced big time.
It is hard to manage and prepared healthy meals while I was on the go and about most of the time. But more over, I was cave into the "pleasure trap" of sweets and junk foods to just give me some comfort. Almost two month of not get on the scale or not taking care of myself properly. But yesterday finally my grace period has ended. Thank goodness for this SP community. It almost like people here seems to know what's going on with me. And posting all kind of "help me get back on the truck"type blog, article, team thread etc... I was so glad didn't completely cut off from SP. Although, I wasn't actively participate as I used to, but I was aware of team e-mails and friends blogs. I felt bit shame for not staying on truck and deviated from my health journey and again fell into "drugs like"those "pleasure trap".
But with all of your love and support, I summoned all my might and was able to step on the scale and assessed my damage this morning, as well as accepted, posted, on my SP page weight trucker and moved on. I was so glad to able to do this. Instead of feeling a shame
and failure, I decided to be proud that I was again, able to get back up as my own country's old proverb,"fall 7 times, stand up 8".
According to Linda Spangle, author of the book "100 days of weight loss". She said in her blog, "The main thing to remember is that a setback doesn't have to ruin your weight-loss plan. Instead of considering it as a disaster, view a setback as a gift. Let it be a time of learning and renewal, rather than a dent in your belief that you can be successful."
I thank her for posting this blog and I'll follow her advice and I'll take my setback as a gift and renewal for better me. She has started "100 days of weight loss" here in SP. Today. She will go through 100 days with us. If interested, here is her blog. I think we can learn a lot from this.
Some of my Spark friends knows, but I really need to get back on truck ASAP to help me to help my DH. I really can't afford to be depressed right now and any longer. I need to keep my health and keep eating healthy foods, serving healthy foods so my DH can become healthy too. So here I go, today is my of getting back on truck. First time in two month I exercised. I was able to walk/run on my treadmill for 3.25 mile. I ate healthy and I feel great! I want to thank all my spark friends love and support and your prayers. Thank you. I'm Back!
I love this quote and is so true for me. Opportunity will be there always. But it is best when you are prepared. This way you will not failed. I've been on plant based whole foods for quite while, for my health and self care since I do not have health insurance. I believe self care= my health insurance. But I've experienced fail my healthy eating plan in the past when I'm not prepared. This quote was great reminder for me. I shall focus more on my health and not let myself with out preparation of my life line.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful week spark friends. (^O^)/
Yesterday, I finally was able to organize and cleaned out my closet and dresser in my room. It was long over due. But some reason I was never able to tackle down the task. The reason I finally decided to do it was that, I could no longer find my clothes due to over flow in the closet with too many clothes!! And good things was, that my DH has given me one of his clothe organizer chest. It is one of those see thru one which It has 5 big drawers. So I stated to move my clothes one by one into my newly acquired chest drawers. Before you know it, my room was upside down clothes were every where, on the floor, on the bed... "Phew,.. but I kept organizing little by little. And I found so many clothes that are way too big for me. I wore some of them and they are "huge". Some are never worn brand name clothes. The clothes that I could not fit, I separated it to the pile of big clothes bins. It was soooo many clothes to sorted out and It took me all day to do it. But I am so glad that I did it. I now has a very organized closet and dresser. I can easily find my clothes. I've decided to donate and not to keep those big clothes, hoping "never" wear again for those clothes. But in the same time I'm kinda sad that I can not fit into some of my fave clothes. And I had to say good-by to them. But I'm also glad that I lost lots of weight and I'm finally able to say, I'm comfortable and happy in my skin. After I finished cleaned up my closet, I accumulated three extra large stretchy garbage bag worth of clothes to donate. Looking at them, "I have renewed my commitment." I've took some selfies for motivation to keep on keeping on with maintenance in my health journey.
My very first exercise pants when I started my weight loss journey.
Surprised to my eye this jeans looks almost two of me can fit into it.
I shall keep going, going, and going.
Today, I've got my water dispenser/cooler. I ordered from BB&B exactly a week ago and UPS guy delivered to our home today! I opened up the box immediately and set it up and installed water As soon as I received it. I really like this water dispenser. It looks cool and give me cold and hot water just press of a button. This will definitely help my water intake as I'm drinking lots of water for hydration and purification of my body. Since I do not have to store water in the fridge, I save lots of space where I was using for bottles and jar of water. With the freed up space, I can put more veggies and fruits. This was money well spend investment and improvement of my healthy life style. "Woo Hoo *\(^o^)/*

Ohio Manufacturers Back State Efficiency Standards
Efforts to dilute or eliminate Ohio's Energy Efficiency Resource Standards represent an unfortunate – and risky – step backward for Ohio, according to results from an Ohio Manufacturers Association (OMA) study.
The standards, which were established with bipartisan support in Senate Bill 221 and took effect in July 2008, require electric utilities to help customers reduce power consumption through improved energy efficiency and aim to cut the state's overall energy consumption by 22 percent by 2025 compared to 2009 levels. OMA calls the standards "a documented success" to date. They have helped customers across Ohio achieve savings on their electric bills while reducing all customers' exposure to risks associated with the inherent price volatility of a competitive marketplace, according to Ohio's Energy Efficiency Resource Standard: Impacts on the Ohio Wholesale Electricity Market and Benefits to the State, which was conducted in association with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.
The study concludes that continued utility investments in energy efficiency; continued achievement of the current standards; and utilities bidding a portion of their energy efficiency resources equal to the savings required by the standards into regional capacity auctions through 2020, would yield direct and indirect savings of almost $5.57 billion for customers in avoided energy expenditures and reduced wholesale energy and capacity prices.
Energy efficiency is the lowest-cost resource for utilities to meet the demand for electricity, even during a period of abundant shale gas and low natural gas prices – and thus remains economically justifiable, the report says.
In March, The Plain Dealer reported that Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corp. had begun a behind-the-scenes push to get rid of the state energy efficiency standards that are denting its profits. The Akron power company sent a form letter to some of its larger customers asking them to fill in their name and send it to the Ohio Senate.
FirstEnergy defended its moves against the standards in a prepared statement: "FirstEnergy remains concerned that meeting the state's energy efficiency goals will continue to place burdensome costs on our customers, particularly Ohio businesses."

To some, Burek is a pastry served hot or cold and filled with goodness. To many, Burek is a tastier label and agency filled with even more goodness.
Back in 2011 when Burek was brought to life by Pytzek its mission was simple - to support emerging artists and promote the sounds he felt & loved. With Mislav joining the label a year later, Burek embarked on an ad-hoc run of releases which has seen the label so far work with artists like KiNK, Humandrone, Chris Duckenfield, Vedagor (aka Vakula), Toby Tobias, John Heckle, Snuff Crew, Juju & Jordash, Homeboy, Inkswel, DJ Nature, Iron Curtis, IG Culture, Aubrey, Specter, Information Ghetto, Esa (one-half of Auntie Flo Live), Fudge Fingas and Marco Bernardi.
The label has gained the reputation for being consistent with its quality control but never repetitive in its stylistic vision, garnering recognition amongst critics and selectors as a 'must watch' European label with its releases hammered out on floors across the globe. The list of respected DJs who support and play Burek releases is really too extensive to list, but we are happy to have received support and acknowledgement from the likes of Ben Watt, Azari&III, MCDE, Seth Troxler, Michael Mayer, Justin Martin, Erol Alkan, Midland, Todd Terje, Jimpster, Fred P, Ethyl, James Priestley and Brodinski.
Since erupting onto the scene in 2011 with its debut EP, Burek has been establishing itself as a label to watch. With EPs from talented up and coming and established producers, many fine underground DJs know that Burek stands for quality and forward thinking music. In 2013 Burek launched its own agency and website to bring together its friends and music and to provide a platform to highlight DJs and producers we respect and support.
Because we keep an open-minded approach to genres and don't like being boxed in by stylistic fads, we don't limit ourselves to just one entrenched vision of music. On our agency roster you'll find DJs known for releasing disco, boogie, minimal, deep house, electro and techno. The only things we insist on from the artists we represent are quality, unique vision and provide great music for great times.
As well as highlighting our own releases and those of our roster we also use this website to bring you free track downloads, occasional interviews with various scene figures & music insiders, and regular podcasts and videos.
If you are looking for an international star of the future, one contender and serious talent is Pyztek from Zagreb, Croatia. Small but deadly, this Croatian DJ stayed consistent in embracing tech house, house and disco personal flavored sounds. His already sent him out to London, Berlin, Geneva, Paris, Istanbul, Munich, Vienna, Milan, Serbia, Belgrade, Budapest, Toulouse to name a few. He use to work in underground club named SIRUP in Zagreb, the best small club in Croatia's capital where the elite international DJs and breaking talent have graced their decks. Pytzek recently created a brand new music labels called 'Burek & Picakat'. 1st Burek EP release is out now and introduces the very talented up and coming artist and producer 'Kink" from Bulgaria who has released material on Ovum, Get Physical, Dirty Bird. Leko is the stand out track and soon to be
anthem with the remixes supplied from Chris Duckenfield, Homeboy and Mr. Pytzek himself...with stella feedback and quotes from the likes of Ben Watt, Erol Alkan, Sweeny, Soul Clap, AudioJack, Jimpster....the list is endless.
After Kink Burek will release Humandrone, Vadegor and Toby Tobias more
to come so watch this space.
Even after almost 20 years of continuous and obsessive record collecting, Mislav is still enthusiastic about music today as he was in his early beginnings. Taking no shortcuts, he mastered his music knowledge, taste and DJing as one should, not by following trends but instead developing his own style. Mislav has left his mark in clubbing scenes wherever he lived in the past, as with his latest project known as Mugic Soundsystem. With his partners in crime for the past 5 years, Mugic Soundsystem has been pushing already notorious nights in Singapore known for its raw energy, own-built Klipsch vintage soundsystem and wide musical repertoire consisting of uncompromising mixture of electric funk, old school electro, house/techno hybrids, disco, various leftifield and obscure disco/punk/nu wave oddities thrown in for proper musical journeys, keeping open-minded listeners entertained throughout the night. When playing out, you never know what to expect from the man, but be ready for raw energetic music greatly influenced by sounds originating from Detroit, Chicago, Hague and New York. In 2012, Mislav joined the Burek crew, co-running the label and the newly launched DJ Agency as well as embarking in an A&R role for a new sister label to be introduced in 2013.

Lake Delton made national news in 2008 when a storm caused the lake, the site of the world-famous Tommy Bartlett Thrill Show, to overflow and drain into the Wisconsin River. But the people of Lake Delton and Wisconsin lived up to their reputation of resilience and today the community continues to welcome thousands of tourists every year and remains one of the most popular summer destinations for families.

Viewsonic Pro9000 Home Theater Projector Review
How does this Viewsonic Pro9000 compare to other 1080p home theater projectors on the market?
Until we've seen a full production version, it makes no sense to complete this page, as, if Viewsonic delivers what they say is coming, the full production Pro 9000 should calibrate better, and offer overall, better color.

What's appropriate for a foreign leader to say in Congress?
Speaking of U.S.-Mexico relations, I see that some lawmakers weren't happy that Mexican President Felipe Calderon criticized Arizona's new immigration law in his speech to Congress yesterday:
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said that Calderon's statements about American laws were out of bounds. "I don't think we should have some foreign leader come in here and criticize the statute of a state, where they are implementing a federal law on a state basis," Hatch said of the Arizona immigration law.
He also chafed at Calderon's call on the U.S. to revisit the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. "We don't need someone coming in here and telling us how to handle an explicit clause of the Constitution," Hatch said. "I like President Calderon. I know him, I like him, he has a very difficult job. But it was inappropriate to say what he said."
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), whose state shares a border with Mexico, rejected Calderon's assertion that the Arizona law allows racial profiling. "It was inappropriate for President Calderon to lecture Americans on our own state and federal laws," Cornyn said.
The senators are certainly entitled to voice disagreement with Calderon on this or any issue, but I think they doth protest too much about the "appropriateness" of what the president said. American leaders -- inlucing senators -- lecture foreign governments on their laws all the time. Do they senators also think it was inappropriate when the Vice President stood up in the Bosnian parliament and said the country must join the E.U. or "descend into ethnic chaos that defined your country for the better part of a decade." (Well... maybe that one was actually a little inappropriate.)
In any case, these senators are no shrinking violets when it comes to calling out foreign governments on human rights violations. They're free to disagree with Calderon but they seem a little oversensitive when they assert that they shouldn't have to listen to him.
This wasn't Muammar Qaddafi, it was the president of Mexico. Two allied democracies should be able to have a grownup discussion about important issues -- including the Mexican military's appalling human rights record -- without the unecessary umbrage-taking.

Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"The Family" 10 Scale Rating: 4.0 (Bad) ...
The Good: The first half is decent as the fish out of water cliche actually works. DeNiro, Jones, D'Leo, Agron, and Pfeiffer are all game as the film is amusing and interesting early on.
The Bad: Then the tone dramatically shifts to a very dark and action packed film. I don't mind genre switching when done right, but this was poorly done. It was so jarring that it takes away from the film and causes it to lose all of it's charm.… Expand
Sep 28, 2014This was a not a so much of a dark comedy as it was a bad joke. At my most generous I could liken it to a want to be Pulp fiction without the commitment,plot, acting, humor , and realism . Overall it was thrown together and poorly acted. Save your time
May 11, 2014This movie is not horrible, but it is certainly not very good. First off, it is not very funny and as a comedy, that is a major negative. On top of that, the plot is weird. It constantly just shifts between things that make no sense upon further examination. It is not confusing at all, but some of the things that were included (most of the things that were included) served little-to-no purpose. In addition, the ending is horrible and leaves you scratching your head, wondering why they thought it would work well. Luckily, the acting is solid and the movie itself is still relatively fun and enjoyable. It is far from being a good film, but if you need something to watch, you could certainly do far worse, but do not expect The Godfather.… Expand
May 3, 2014The Family starts off as an off-kilter, dark comedy with a promising storyline and some nice views of Normandy. However, the filmmakers waste the rest of the film with violence that doesn't let up, horrible plot points, and an unfulfilling ending; the movie sinks deeper and deeper every minute. DeNiro's character is just so sadistic and unforgivingly violent with no regard for human life whatsoever. If you give him back the wrong change at the grocery store, he'll practically smash your head on the counter, and his character is anything but likable. The kids are smart and resourceful, but their talents get wasted on gunfights and unnecessary bloodshed. Michelle Pfeifer is really the only person in the movie with any shred of morals. Tommy Lee Jones just smirks and scowls as usual, not really adding anything more to his character. Though, I can say that I enjoyed the little Goodfellas in-joke for DeNiro. It was a nice touch to an otherwise brutal movie. Watch "The Family" on a Friday night if you dare, but do not pay full price for it, whatever you do.… Expand
Jan 19, 2014An awful film all the way through. It is never entertaining, funny, or creative. The script is so thin and weak I can't imagine why anybody would be associated with it besides cashing a check.
Dec 6, 2013This movie doesn't even deserve a score, I couldn't even get passed the first hour without losing my temper at how stupid this movie is. Firstly, having lived in France as a British student for the last 3 years, I have to say that the portrayal of France and French people is abysmal, I don't expect realism, but I at least expect respect toward the things that make France such a wonderful place. Firstly, you'll meet maybe 1-in-10 people who even speak a TINY BIT of English, this movie blows it out of proportion, I appreciate them speaking English as the film is aimed at English speaking audiences, but it also sadly pointed out how dumb the dialogue was. Also, French food is absolutely wonderful and for the most part, isn't much different from the food available in the US and Britain, in fact, almost ALL stores sell British foods, Not at one point have I not been able to get something I've been looking for in some way or another. This movie goes out of it's way to insult French foods, I find it disgusting how they even have the audacity to do that. Next is the portrayal of French people themselves, this films portrays them as being rude, intruding and selfish, NONE of which is factual, the French, especially in the rural areas are the kindest people you will ever meet and they love having guests in their country, obviously, you will meet the odd bigot who dislikes you for being foreign, but this film knocks it out of the ball park in that regard. Now that I've covered that. Lets look at the movie itself, the acting for the most part is okay, But the kids can't act, not at one point did I find their roles believable.
At the end of the day, all I see in this movie, is a family full of moving to a town full of bigots and watch the main character randomly kill people he dislikes and watch everyone else do insanely stupid things for absolutely no reason. Not at one point did I even smile through the small amount of this movie that I watched.
The problem lies in the direction, this film tried to be comedy, but there is NOTHING funny about the situation, Why are films like The Iceman and Goodfellas so great? Because they are dark, brutal and serious. If this film took the correct direction, it could have been a dark and brutal gangster film, but it decided to go with the quirky comic approach to a situation only madman would find funny.
It's a shame because De Niro's acting is superb as always, shame everything else about the movie lacks any sense or logic. Maybe one day Il give the film the benefit of the doubt and watch it with a few friends, but I honestly couldn't see the film getting any better.… Expand
Oct 3, 2013While having a solid cast, Luc Beson delivered one of the worst picture in his career! Humor in it was written for 12 year old boys, plot is boring and predictable. De Niro never before played such a hollow character! This movie is waste of time
Sep 30, 20134/10 is a fair score, because i think some people will like it and some not, but for me it was a very decent movie! Good acting, poor story and decent action brings me to this final score.
Sep 18, 2013My review is going to be very short because this movie doesn't deserve a lot of analysis. This movie was billed as a dark comedy, there is a lot of darkness via the extreme violence and not a chuckle in the whole movie. As far as I was concerned I never smiled, giggled and certainly never laughed. How can you laugh at gratuitous violence to undeserving innocent people. It was so predictable that it held no surprises whatsoever. Don't waste your money. After 10 minutes I wanted to ask for a refund, but my friend had fallen asleep and I did not want to wake him up and tell him we were leaving. So I sat through the whole stinking thing. Basically this movie was not funny at all. Unless you were a ten-year old. And the movie is way too violent for a 10 year old. The theater was fairly crowded but the people were not laughing. This film is pure pornography. Not sexual pornography but violence pornography. If I'm going to watch pornography it's going to have babes with big boobs and guys with big well you know!
Basically A Diarrhea of Violence… Expand
Sep 17, 2013Everyone in this movie is unnecessarily violent. I'm not even going all Jim Carrey preachy here but the main characters beat up innocent civilians for no good reason at least a dozen times with tennis rackets and baseball bats. And when the mafia style shootout starts, it's over in 10 minutes. Every scene just was paced poorly and overall this was a hugely wasted opportunity, especially considering the cast.… Expand
Sep 14, 2013De Niro and Pfeiffer may give it their all, but "The Family" ultimately succumbs to the burden of its own ridiculousness and fairly unlikable characters.
Though it's good to see Michelle Pfeiffer married to the mob again, she alone can't redeem a lumbering farce that takes an unpleasantly sadistic glee in violence, murder and intimidation.
Robert De Niro does further damage to a reputation much battered by "The Big Wedding."

"On April 14th, 1912, the famous ocean liner, known as the Titanic crashed into an iceberg. After remaining afloat for two hours and forty minutes, it sank between the waters of the North Atlantic. I will give you more time. Nine Hours. That is the time you will be given to make your escape."Junpei, a normal 21-year-old college student, arrives at home one night to find his window open. Upon closing it, he spots a cloaked figure in a gas mask in the reflection—and the last thing he can remember before passing out is being told that he's just been chosen to participate in the "Nonary Game"...He then wakes up in a third-class room on an early 20th-century ship. Upon escaping from there, he finds out that he's trapped on the ship with eight other people who were similarly chosen, and forced to play the game lest the bombs planted inside their bodies go off. Needless to say, things get worse, and they're forced to trust each other and race against the 9-hour time limit to figure out what's happening and why they're on the ship.The first game in the Zero Escape series, 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doorsnote , or 999 as it is sometimes known, itself plays as one part "escape from the room" games, one part Saw and one part story (though some self-labelled story segments offer the player numerous choice points). Decisions made during story and escape segments determine how events unfold and which characters will interact. There are several branching paths and your decisions impact the ending.It sadly never was released outside Japan and North America. Even then, most game stores had to specifically request the game to stock. As an original DS game, it can be imported and played on any DS and 3DS.A sequel titled Virtue's Last Reward (in the original Japanese, Kyokugen Dasshutsu ADV Zennin Shib� Desu, or roughly, Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die) was announced for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita in August 2011. It was released in Japan on February 16, 2012, and released in North America on October 24 2012. It was released in EU territories and Australia the following month.In February 2014, it was announced that due to low sales in Japan, production for the trilogy's last game was being put on hiatus. Fans have started a Facebook campaign to show support for the series.Despite the use of spoiler tags, this page contains many spoilers by virtue of not being entirely whited out. Somewhat surprisingly, 999 is still possible to play completely unspoiled and most walkthroughs are spoiler-free as well.
