American guys There For Tomorrow are a band on a mission.. And they're about to bring that mission blazing through Australia on Soundwave festival, also treating fans to side shows with Sum 41, The Blackout and Veara in Melbourne and Sydney. We were lucky enough to have a bit of a heart to heart with guitarist and vocalist, the eloquent and charming Maika Maile before they hit the Aussie shores.
Bella: Nice to talk to you Maika. How are you?
Maika: I'm fine, I just changed out of my gym clothes. I DID shower. Don't worry.
Good, Good! I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for sprucing up and taking the time to have a chat.
Yeah, no problem. Thanks for having me.
So, Have you made a full recovery from Christmas and New Years?
Yeah. It was a nice little resting period.. well, it was supposed to be. I think we might have had our fair share of champagne each, but we're done recovering, we're ready for this year, we've been preparing for it for a long time. And the new year brings a lot of new things.
Is Champagne usually your poison of choice?
Either that or Jameson whiskey. It depends.
Nice. Depends on how fancy you're getting? Or how rowdy?
Yes. It depends on how elegant.. or how much I want to bullshit people.
[Laughs] Wise words. Well, it's not long now 'til you're Heading down to Australia with the Soundwave festival. You guys haven't been before, have you?
This is our very first time.
What does coming to somewhere like Australia mean to you?
It means a lot, especially because of the positioning of it, it's Basically going to the opposite side of the world, to the middle of the ocean. Getting to meet the fans. Thanks to the internet, we have lots of believers over there, lots of people that are part of our fan [base] that have now developed into a big family which we call the TFT family. We're just ready to familiarise ourselves with that continent.
So you're aware of the amount of fans that you have down here? How do you maintain a relationship with fans in places you've never been to? Do you have any contact with them?
Yeah, yeah. We try to keep up to date with our fans, if not daily, then as much as we possibly can. We have a street team called Australia for tomorrow on twitter. Actually, there's a couple of them and some really dedicated people run them and basically help get the word out. We almost have that going in every country in the world thanks to the internet and technology now days, even with us being on the road, we can always keep that touch going on. We just can't wait to build upon it because it's still early days. It's just been so reassuring for us to have a global outreach for before we go to places and Australia has been a major place to build hype so we're definitely excited now we can just get down to the nitty gritty and come.. blast faces.
Awesome. And when you're down here with soundwave, you kind of get the best of both worlds, playing festival sets and then more intimate, traditional gigs with the sidewaves. Do you prefer one over the other?
I don't, because we've had a lot of experience with both. It all really just depends on the feeling among the crowd and how receptive or not receptive they are. Generally, the shows we've been playing lately, no matter where it's been; whether it's been in the UK or our home town, anywhere. There's really been lots of energy, so we're excited to capatalise on the outside shows, but we're also ready to get all stinky with your fellow Australians in the clubs.
And for the Aussie fans that haven't ever seen you before, what should they be expecting from There For Tomorrow live?
We're not even sure yet. We're just going to get there and feel out the area, feel out the people. Every Australian we've ever known has had such a friendly kind of.. aura and they're all so relaxed so that will probably reflect. We're excited for that too, to test the waters and like I've said before, it's all about the energy. We really try to make people feel empowered by the music. There's already such a chemistry between the four of us because we've been playing together for so long and we've relied on this music to release us from the world, we just hope to let everybody in on that when we play live. We look for that connectivity between the crowd and us, so we can't wait to see what we can do over there.
Well put, that's sweet. I hope you can keep that positivity up after such a long plane ride. How do you pass the time on international flights?
Lots of music, maybe one Ambien and a red wine? [laughs] Noo.. just relaxation. Separation. Excitement. Then when we get off the plane, we'll be ready. We'll get that jet lag kicked aside by the first day and then it's good times from then on out.
Any particular music you listen to when you are travelling?
Oh yeah, definitely. By then we'll have our new record mixed and mastered and ready to listen to twenty-five thousand times. Also things like Wiz Kahlifa, maybe a little Josh Groban in there.
And is there any food that's kind of your staple on tour?
I don't know.. I'm basically a food connoisseur, so I like different things about different food, it just depends on my mood in the moment. I'm not familiar with the Australian cuisine, but I'm ready to try things..
Have you heard of vegemite? You should try a vegemite sandwich if you want Australian cuisine.
Okay, I was told NOT to try that! It was by a couple of fans and they referred to it as.. 'jelly dust'? or something?
It's.. Umm… yeah. I've given it to a few Americans before and it did not go down well at all. Us Aussies, we grow up on it, we love it. And it's just.. it's REALLY salty. So, so salty.
Well… I'll love it because you love it.
I don't know about that.. you'll have to try something else Australian, like.. I don't know. A lamington. I think lamingtons are Australian. Have you heard of them?
I've never had that.
It's like a square of sponge cake, dipped in chocolate icing stuff, rolled in shredded coconut? Sometimes I think they have jelly [jam] and / or cream in the middle?
Sounds.. appetising. A lot more than Vegemite or whatever. Lamingtons you say? Well, I'm writing that down.
Hit up some Lamingtons while you're here for sure. [laughs] So! What comes after Soundwave Festival then, for you guys?
We come back, and we'll be jet lagged for four days and then we go and get a new jet lag, going to the UK and Europe again. We actually haven't even announced that yet! This is the first time we've really spoken about that, so.. it'll be our third trip to the UK. Our last trip there was beyond amazing and hopefully we can completely shatter that with this experience and then.. Europe. We're only going to four or five places, but that will be our first venture over there too. There's been a lot of anticipation to get over there and play shows, so that will be an eye-opening experience and hopefully we can cover all our bases. We're even looking to get back to Australia as well, after Soundwave.
That's an insane sounding schedule! Where does the new album fit into all of that?
We're looking for an early summer release. So.. around then hopefully.
American summer, yeah? We're backwardsy. So we can expect it in our winter?
Oh, yep! That's right. And you guys will have your pea coats and stuff while we're over here dying. Does it get cold over there, by the way? Like, at all?
Depends on your definition of cold? We'd say yes, but people in the blizzards in New York would probably disagree. It's never bitterly cold. There's a couple of places, in the mountains where we'll get snow, but it's very rare. We kind of just have rainy winters.
Ohhh.. they're not good.
Yeah. It's not as pretty.. but it's also not as quick to shut down cities and everything else.
No snow is good. We're Florida boys, so out of any place in the world, we'd probably connect with your guys' weather and atmosphere the best.
I heard that Florida is the only state in the US that doesn't have snow right now. Is that right?
I think you might be right? Most states right now are super cold actually, for Florida 40 degrees [farenheit] is like hell freezing over. That's what it's like right now, and the humidity bites. I'm enjoying it though, we get to layer up a bit, and not have to be naked walking around while sweating.
Oh-Oh. Please prepare for a bit of sweaty, naked walking while you're here. Soundwave is usually pretty toasty.
Oh no! We're ready for it! Shirts will be off! Pants, maybe. Depending what time of day it is.
Pants optional is a good motto.
Wait, speaking of the record: what I was saying is that we just kicked it out within one month's time. We wrote all 13 songs in like 7 days, just because of all the experiences we've had within the last two years since our last release 'A Little Faster'. We got to see the world and understand different cultures and got so much inspiration from all of the.. filth.. all of the.. 'vegemite' we've seen that's happening in the world and in the music industry. We're building up a 'fight back' mentality with our fans and our family we just want all things genuine again. We can't wait to put it out. we'll be playing all new stuff for the first time EVER in Australia. New territory, new songs, new energy it's going to be monumental for us.
That's fantastic. When I was researching your band, one thing that came up over and over was your age. Do you feel a greater sense of accomplishment having achieved these things so young, or are you a little disheartened because older people who have maybe achieved the same amount or less success than you are quick to judge and assume you haven't paid your dues?
I think there's kind of that mindset with some older bands in general when they've toured their asses off and they still don't make a buck. They sometimes get stand offish when new bands come around that are doing something for themselves, but we're just into it for no other reason than to share the chemistry that we have. It doesn't matter where we are, if we're playing in a garage or if we're playing in a ten thousand capacity venue, we still try to emulate the same exact experience with our music because it's very natural and it's raw emotion. We're not talking about all 'up in the club'' or 'she broke my heart' stuff, we're talking about the real thing. It's really important for our generation to talk about some things. With our fans and the dedication that they've really thrown at us, we can do so many things and a lot of people are starting to see that and respect it. So yeah, from time to time we get the 'newbie' kind of brush-off feeling from people, but as soon as they realise who we really are and what we're about they usually get swooned over to 'Tomorrow Land'.
Are you even allowed to say 'tomorrowland'? are we getting sued by Disney yet? I think they have all the rights for 'Tomorrow Land' locked down pretty tight unfortunately.
Aw, yeah. A few stores we saw in Japan had that name as well..
Damn it!!
Did you say you churned out an entire album in a month before? I've heard people say that recording an album is more chilled out than being on the road, you don't have to travel, you're often not away from family and friends. But an album worth of songs in a week and everything down in a month is intense. Was that just as exhausting for you, physically and emotionally?
No? Not really this time around. In past, there's been a bit more of a frustration element with making the albums or the EP's or whatever because it was a little less of a dominant factor when we knew what we were doing. Now we had such an edge with how we wanted to go about things and the inspiration was really firey, so we kind of cut through every little road block by just having the pure will to do what we want. That's really what's driving this record and making it unique for us, is that it's the record we want to make.. and thank god, it's the best record we've ever made, because we want to make what we want to make for a long time coming. So this is a new start.
Yeah. You know, it seems like good mental health and positivity in general are two things that you feel strongly about as a band. Would you agree?
I don't know if you've been made aware, but over here, a good percentage of the population are battling floods, the devastation of which has been likened to Hurricane Katrina..
Yeah, I know. I was just reading about it the other day. We have lots of friends over there who were sending us links to different places that you could donate and things like that, so we've been trying to get our fans involved. We've seen some activity on that, people trying to really step up and help other people in need which is always a great thing for us to see.
Donating whatever cash you have is absolutely fantastic, but sometimes the losses aren't just material. You can't replace lives or memories with all the money in the world, the metal toll it takes on people is going to be enormous as well. Do you have any words for any TFT fans or even potential fans that are being effected right now?
I think it's important to know that when a natural thing happens like this, there's no real reason and there's no direct meaning to it. It's just one of those things, it's the way the world turns, unfortunately. Some people get thrown different things and get different cards dealt to them. To the people affected by this hardship, I hope they've got the will to be strong and fight through these things because in the end, it'll be a character builder. When you go through these tribulations and trials in life, as I've learned from me individually and the losses I've had, the people that have been taken out of my life just certain instances and the sacrifices that come about with my lifestyle, I've seen it all around and it's respectable when you can come out of something with your head held high. Also when people are direct victims and they get up and help other people around them who have also fallen victim, it's pretty inspiring.. I've been seeing a lot of that. So keep your heads held high.
Thank you. So.. just to kind of wrap up on a more positive note, do you want to do some word association? I'll just say a word and you can reply with whatever comes into your head.
First word is Kangaroo.
Uh. Creating.. Creativity!
You know, you're allowed to reply with more than one word. I'll allow a sentence.
Oh! [laughs] I LIKE RECORDING!
Down Under.
Home land.
I like the future better..
There For Tomorrow Will be performing at all of the Soundwave Festivals through Feb/March and on Sidewaves in Melbourne and Sydney. For ticketing info or purchase, please visit http://www.soundwavefestival.com

LG Optimus Black pricing laid out, coming for free on T-Mobile UK
The LG Optimus Black might be one of the thinnest and brightest handsets in the world, but what we like most about it is the price tag of zero pounds on T-Mobile UK with a qualifying two-year agreement starting from £25 ($40) a month. The Optimus Black will hit shelves this month in the UK, which will be one of the first markets offering the phone. Without any carrier ties, the price for the handset jumps to slightly more than $600 judging from the retail price for Singapore where the phone was launched a couple of days ago.
In comparison, LG's dual-core flagship, the LG Optimus 2X (check out our in-depth review here), was priced at nearly $700 off contract in Singapore. The $100 premium buys you dual processing power, an 8-megapixel camera and HDMI output, but the phone itself is thicker. Which one would you pick?

We're really excited to have launched a new web site for Karelia Health! They're a great local company that specializes in helping companies get control of rising healthcare costs.
Rather than the traditional symptom management and "there's a pill for that" approach to medicine, they empower people to make lasting changes in their lives by focusing on lifestyle changes and teaching them the tools to make those changes. The result is healthier employees and a decrease in the incidence of chronic disease.
Great stuff. The world needs more people like this...
The site was designed by Kameron Mele over at Ovation Benefits; we took her work and built a responsive, mobile-friendly web site that will scale as Karelia grows. Judging by what we've seen so far, they certainly will.

So what is the difference between your inserts, and cheaper ones from other companies like ECS and Power Suspension? Just curious, really. Is the shape or material different?

Others on the market are quickly made - often re-branded inserts that are available through other outlets - our inserts are only available through us directly or from one of our distributors.

280 coffins
Today, I visited Lampedusa together with Italy's Prime Minister Letta, Interior Minister Alfano and Commission President Barroso. I spoke to Minister Alfano on Thursday morning, right after the terrible tragedy, and he asked me to come to the island.
Lampedusa is a very small island, situated closer to Tunisia than Sicily. 6000 people live on 20 square kilometres. Far too often, those who live here have to watch as drowned refugees are being carried ashore.
It is an unspeakable tragedy that hundreds of people, who were fleeing dictatorship and oppression in Eritrea and Somalia, drowned just off the shores of Europe. To stand in front of 280 coffins, some of them for small children, was horrible. On top of the children's coffins, there were teddy bears. This is a terrible reminder of how difficult it is to come to Europe in a legal and safe way.
We also had a long discussion about Lampedusa at the Council meeting yesterday. All EU Member States expressed their concern and solidarity. Perhaps this can be the turning point towards another kind of migration policy, with a focus on cooperation and more open paths to Europe? I can't say for sure.
From the Commission's side I have proposed several measures. First, we need to re-organise the efforts of Frontex in the Mediterranean, into one comprehensive coast-to-coast operation from Spain to Cyprus. It should be focused on search and rescue, as in discovering vessels in time, so that more lives can be saved. Furthermore, we need to continue our cooperation with countries on the other side of the Mediterranean, and have them step up their efforts in preventing ruthless smuggling networks who earn their money by smuggling people in despair. Countries such as Morocco and Tunisia can also do more to develop their asylum reception standards in accordance with international norms.
We also need more legal ways to come to Europe, for example through the resettlement of refugees from Syria in cooperation with the United Nations. Far too few EU Member States are accepting resettled refugees today. All 28 countries should make an effort! Still, the reason for the shipwreck disaster last week is that it is so difficult to enter the European Union legally. Therefore, we should seriously consider other options to make it safer to come to Europe for those who flee their home countries. Humanitarian visas could be a solution in this regard.
Regarding the urgent needs of Italy, we need to make sure that the reception centre in Lampedusa, as well as reception centres in other parts of Italy, are renovated to ensure dignified reception conditions. Commission President Barroso announced that the Commission can contribute with up to 30 million Euros for efforts in asylum centres, humanitarian relief efforts, integration projects etcetera.
During our short and intense visit, we also managed to meet the Mayor as well as people on the island who worked on rescue operations, as well as volunteer organisations and not least refugees from several countries. We had the opportunity to talk to a young boy from Eritrea who was on the sunken ship. His parents had given everything they had to give him a future outside of Eritrea, in freedom.

Great location, very clean and comfy bed. Parking is cheap compared to nearby establishments.
Should improve on sound proofing. We were staying on the ground floor and we could hear footsteps from the tenants upstairs.
Really enjoyed my stay as everything was clean and facilities were good. Very central, great pub across the road, close to the Hollywood walk and public transport. Nothing flash but the price is right.
All good!
Not bad for a few nights. Room rather small but ok
Noise all through the night
good location very close to bars shops etc
Very dated look A lot of noise from outside poor breakfast menu looks like a hotel from the 80s needs to be knocked down and rebuilt
Great location , room was big and well present included microwave etc.super.
Breakfast was not great for USA I could say very poor.
It is very near to Hollywood & the metro station. The rooms were very clean & the wifi worked very well.The breakfast was very basic.The front office staff was very polite, helpful & informative. Would recommend it to everyone & would stay here again.
The hotel is in an ok position, only couple blocks down from Hollywood blvd and the theatres.
The hotel appears quite old, the hallways are very depressing, and the room was a box room, very dark and dingy with only a window out onto the hallway. Didn't see if the upgraded pool view is much better. Staff were ok but don't expect a smile. I thought minimal breakfast was ok but wife didn't enjoy it. Overall wouldn't return to the hotel or Hollywood
location was good for the purpose of my visit
was overcharged at checkout. not corrected right.
Location was excellent on sunset blvd and close to many food options, shops and metro; room was comfortable with fridge and microwave; good continental breakfast; free wifi
My room (122) had a window overlooking the hallway and the light at night came into the room, pillows were old and not particularly comfortable
location is good, walk to Hollywood street only 10 mins.
Good location as it only takes five minutes to walk up to the centre of Hollywood. Free wifi and we were also able to print out our flight boarding passes using the business centre.
The staff were robotic with a lack of people skills. Also the breakfast was a bit basic and you had to be down there early for a chance to get anything before it runs out.
Location is very good
as we are an older couple getting our suitcases up the front door steps.
Clean, nice and has a good breakfast! Didn't test the pool, the water was too warm for me :) Location is excellent! And parking too.
I have an old phone so the wifi did not work.
Good location, just around the corner to the walk of fame.
LA... Nothing the hotel can do about that
Bed Cleanliness Helpful
Dirty pool lack of choice breakfast
-Consistency of cleaning -Decent breakfast -Wifi access -Comfortable bed
-Slow moving, old lifts - need maintenance - Security/access passes were temperamental - did not work sometimes and needed to go to reception to resolution. - TV in room did not work - need instructions on how to operate - Need shelving in showers - no place to place personal items - Need more hooks for hanging clothing in bathroom
When the booking has been made through booking.com we often get one of the rooms with lowest quality, i.e. small room, far away from elevator, lobby and/or pool etc. and change is often not possible due to the reservation has been made through booking.com. This was also the case here, where the staff further was directly unpolite and unfriendly upon arrival and should probably look for job outside the service-sector
Great for a base and to be able to relax by the pool with a drink BYO. Continental breakfast was nice and saw us through until lunch. Free wifi was very good.
Beds were a little soft but we are used to firm bed.
The location, the facilities and staff
The room small
Nice spacious rooms, quiet, swimming pool facility, great location!!
The room was a little dark. Continental Breakfast was pretty bad (although I was expecting that since people mentions about it on reviews). I am not sure if it happens often but the Wifi was not working properly for the last few days I stayed which was quite annoying.
Very well located Private Parking Quality/Price excellent
Breakfast nor very generous Small room
Reasonable price and facilities. Excellent location. Everything very close and handy
Thin walls. A noisy sleeper next door can keep you up
I loved the location! Walking distance to Hollywood Blvd. This was my 4th trip to LA and this was the 3rd time I stayed at Days Inn Hollywood.I have stayed at Leows Hotel which is a high end hotel but I Would recommend Days Inn. I give it a 10 out of 10. The service is great the free continental breakfast is a bonus and the pool is nice to lay by after a long day. The hotel is clean inside and out. You definitely get value for money!
The fact the hotel has no "smoking rooms" which is typical in most hotels but other than that I can't say anything I disliked about Days Inn.
Location was brilliant,breakfast was cereals,toast,fruit,plenty enough!
Walls to thin,noisy needs up dating!
Not much
Breakfast was the worst we encounted during our California road trip. We wrote indepentidly to Days Inn requesting a room with a pool view, received a reply that all was okay. When we got there we were put into a small room with absolutely no view, when asked re our request was told there was no rooms left. The place is very old, in need of a revamp immediately.

A Modern Country Getaway
A small Connecticut townand a community of artists and designershelped Priscilla Caldwell realize a dream she shared with her late husband: a family getaway as cozy as it is spare.
By Beth Ann Fennelly
An antiqued-brass and bronze light fixture from The Urban Electric Co. shines above a Kohler trough sink in the guest bath. The window shades are Hunter Douglas. Priscilla inherited the sign on the door—which reads chien méchant, or "beware of dog"—from her grandmother.
Bright idea: Instead of towel bars, peg rails offer maximum utility in a tight space.

An NPRM published Wednesday in the Federal Register would ban
even faux smoking aboard any domestic airline flight. U.S.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the DOT is proposing
to explicitly ban the use of electronic cigarettes on aircraft.
"Airline passengers have rights, and this new rule would
enhance passenger comfort and reduce any confusion surrounding the
use of electronic cigarettes in flight," said Secretary
LaHood (pictured).
The NPRM would clarify that the airline smoking rule prohibits
the use of electronic cigarettes and similar products, as tobacco
products are now prohibited. Electronic cigarettes are designed to
deliver nicotine or other substances to the smoker in the form of a
vapor. Electronic cigarettes cause potential concern because there
is a lack of scientific data and knowledge of the ingredients in
electronic cigarettes. The Department views its current regulatory
ban on smoking of tobacco products to be sufficiently broad to
include the use of electronic cigarettes. The Department is taking
this action to eliminate any confusion over whether the
Department's ban includes electronic cigarettes. The proposal
would apply to all scheduled flights of U.S. and foreign carriers
involving transportation to and from the U.S.
Amtrak has banned the use of electronic smoking devices on
trains and in any area where smoking is prohibited. The Air Force
Surgeon General issued a memorandum highlighting the safety
concerns regarding electronic cigarettes and placed them in the
same category as tobacco products. The U.S Navy has banned
electronic cigarettes below decks in submarines. Further, several
states have taken steps to ban either the sale or use of electronic
This NPRM proposes an explicit ban on the use of electronic
cigarettes in all forms, including but not limited to electronic
cigars, pipes and devices designed to look like everyday products
such as pens. The ban does not include the use of a device such as
a nebulizer that delivers a medically beneficial substance to a
user in the form of a vapor.
The Department is also considering whether to extend the ban on
smoking, including electronic cigarettes, to charter flights of
U.S. carriers and foreign air carriers with aircraft that have a
designed seating capacity of 19 or more passenger seats. Officials
say the rulemaking is a part of the Department's broader effort to
strengthen airline passenger rights and improve information
available to the public.

Want a Healthier You? Ditch the Weight Loss Resolutions!
How often do you come up with health goals that often have a lot to do with how you look and little to do with real health and happiness? Profit-driven companies are busy bombarding us with slimy weight-loss slogans like Cheerios' "More Grains, Less You" and Special K's "What Will You Gain When You Lose?" They promise that losing weight will bring you health and happiness, but all they really do is replace a well-balanced meal with a 150-calorie serving of cereal. Not a health and wellness breakthrough, guys.
These magic ladies' cereals and all the other "time for a new you!" marketing schemes are NOT the key to health, happiness or love! In fact, those fear tactics scaring you about all you are missing out on by being your current size are only benefiting companies, not individuals. It is time to push back against the degrading weight-loss marketing with REAL health and confidence-boosting resolutions, like the ones we're recommending below. Today, we want MORE you and for you to WIN, not lose! Take that, Special K and Cheerios!
If you're like me, my "health" goals used to revolve around clothing sizes, weight and measurements, and little to do with actual health or happiness. I know I'm not alone in realizing that even if the number got smaller, it had little to do with my actual health or happiness.
I can look back in old journals and see that sometimes I resorted to extremes in eating and exercising to get to that random number I thought would bring with it all the joy I could imagine: "If I can just lose this much weight, I'll be SO happy!" or "I'll love myself and someone else can love me if I can just lose this many inches." But personal experience, academic research and body image advocacy have taught me something very different: An arbitrary number is never the key to happiness, confidence or even health and fitness.
We spend a lot of time writing and researching about the ways media objectifies females and asks us to view ourselves (to self-objectify) ourselves. We are told we are parts to be ogled by those around us, perfected and shaped by surgeons, judged by each other, and constantly in need of repair with the help of makeup, waxing, tanning, bleaching, plucking and posing — and now cereal. Because of that, our health goals often reflect our self-objectifying views that often don't get us to real health and happiness and don't last too long (ex: "Fit into my jeans from 2003″ or "Lose 20 lbs."). They actually hurt our health and happiness. Have you ever reached one of those goals and then realized you still weren't happy with where you were? It's because the ideals we see in media and set for ourselves are designed to be unattainable — we'll work forever trying to reach them, but they're forever out of reach, so we'll spend all our money, time and energy working toward them!
We challenge you to join Lexie and I in pledging to fight toward reaching goals that have little to do with the way we look and everything to do with what we can accomplish. We urge you to pledge resolutions that reflect how valuable, capable and powerful you are. Here are 14 empowering, achievable goals for 2014, and we'd LOVE for you to renew your efforts this year or make a fresh start with these resolutions as your guide!
Set a true fitness goal: If you've held yourself back from running, biking, swimming, etc., because you felt self-conscious about what to wear, how red your face gets from the workout, sweating in public, (the list goes on), it's time to set a goal and fight to achieve it! Make this goal about your abilities and you'll be much less inclined to care about what you look like doing it. Run a certain distance without stopping. Swim 10 laps faster than ever before. Do a certain number of crunches, push-ups, pull-ups, new dance moves – any fitness achievement measured in actions and not numbers on a scale, measuring tape or clothing tag. Lexie started running and broke free from self-objectification in a cool way.
Leave your keys at home: If you drive or take public transportation to work, school, or elsewhere when you could be walking or biking instead, why not give it a try? Increasing activity is a beautiful way to release endorphins to feel happier, get your heart pumping and enjoy the outside world!
Forget your number: If you tend to fixate on your weight, measurements or clothing sizes, pledging to leave those numbers behind is your key to freedom! Make a goal to stop or limit the number of times you weigh or measure yourself. Start judging your health through your activity level by setting a fitness goal (see No. 1) instead of a meaningless number, and you'll get somewhere great! This post will give you all the motivation you need!
Can the tan: Studies show the first time you set foot in a tanning bed, you increase your chances of skin cancer by as much as 75%! This stat alone is good enough reason to set a goal to limit the time you spend tanning or stop it entirely. The tan skin ideal is fleeting, leads to other "beauty" problems like wrinkles and skin spots, and is achievable through much less harmful means if it's a look you just have to have. Read this post for more info.
Stop negative self-talk: Too many girls and women have a constant script of mean thoughts about themselves running through their minds. Recent studies show us that girls who don't like their bodies become more sedentary over time and pay less attention to having a healthy diet. If you think you're gross and worthless, why would you take care of yourself? Set a goal to stop saying negative things about yourself. Start with a day, a week, a month, whatever you can do, and make it a permanent practice!
Think nice thoughts instead: On the flipside of the last study, research has found that girls who respect their bodies are more likely to be physically active and eat healthy. They are less likely to gain unnecessary weight and they make healthy lifestyle choices way into the future. Since what we THINK about our bodies has a strong connection to how we TREAT our bodies, set a goal to shut out negative thoughts as they come and replace them with positive truths!
Put your $ where your mouth is: Make a goal to only shop at stores that treat females respectfully in their advertising and products. Speaking up with your pocketbook is one of the most powerful ways you can show retailers what you will and will not put up with.
Speak up: When you see a media message that goes against what you believe about girls and women, let your voice be heard. Make a resolution to write to companies that produce and distribute offensive messages, as well as those that you appreciate for showing females as valuable for more than being looked at. We've seen major companies pull advertising and products that were offensive because girls and women speak up! If nothing else, slap one of our uplifting sticky notes on that magazine or ad and give somebody else a positive reminder!
Go on a media fast: Choose a day, a week, a month or longer to steer clear of as much media as you can. That way, you can see how your life is different without all those messages and images, and when you return to viewing and reading popular media, you will be more sensitive to the messages that hurt you and those that are unrealistic. This post will give you all the info you need.
Just say "no": Set a goal to cancel out any media choices you view or read that tell you lies about what it means to be a female. Cancel subscriptions, throw away crappy things you already own, find a new TV show to love. You'll thank yourself!
Picture perfect: If you are a photographer or like to take pictures, set a goal to steer clear of any Photoshopping or image manipulation that Photoshops those in your pictures out of reality. Signs of life are important and we need to see reality!
Mother knows best: If you are a mother, set a goal to never speak negatively about your appearance in front of your children – especially daughters. Your kids are listening whether you like it or not, and they will learn how to view themselves from your example.
Mirror, mirror: Critically analyze how much time you spend in front of the mirror. Could any of that time be better spent? This post talks about a woman who didn't look in a mirror for a month and what she learned. It's fab.
Be an advocate: If you teach or lead a youth group of any sort, set a goal to integrate body-positive messages, media literacy and real health goals into your curriculum. You can do this casually in your everyday life and work/family/church capacities, or in a more formal sense as a teacher or counselor. We offer a Group Leader Kit to guide anyone through in-depth lesson plans, discussion questions, and activities, along with merchandise for participants!
We are committed to teaching media literacy — the ability to critically understand and analyze the power of inescapable media messages in our lives. We speak, write, research and do interviews about learning to recognize harmful messages and reject them so we can grasp our beautiful realities. You can have a powerful influence in your own life by taking on these resolutions! You can also support us financially this year by donating to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Beauty Redefined Foundation.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Still, there's that damning inconsistency
If you read my game recap from last night's comeback, you know I spent hours drooling about Boston's second-half effort. I raved like a guy who had just seen Mila Kunis in person, panting and exulting and salivating at the glorious sight. But seeing Mila Kunis in the second half was made even more special because I spent the entire first half staring at Rosie O'Donnell.
At halftime, Doc Rivers repeatedly insinuated that his Celtics were soft. They had allowed easy shots all half, and had gotten very few good looks of their own. At one point, Carmelo Anthony began to dribble off a pick-and-roll. But who needs a pick-and-roll when your defender gives you the baseline and there's absolutely no help whatsoever? Jeff Green ole'd 'Melo to the hoop, Nenad Krstic was still trying to hedge the pick-and-roll that never happened, and Kevin Garnett decided not to waste his energy stepping across the lane to keep Carmelo from dunking. I immediately blamed Krstic, because that's what I've begun to do—when Ray Allen misses a shot, it's Krstic's fault. When Paul Pierce allows a rebound to fall to his opponent, freaking Krstic should have done something about it. And when Carmelo strolled in for an uncontested dunk, it was definitely Krstic's fault, even though (rationally) I knew there was nothing he could have done about it.
There was a lack of urgency in the Celtics' play that was troublesome, a lack of urgency that has become more and more frequent as the season passes by. How this team looks so listless in one half, then world beaters the next, I'll never understand. They get waxed by the Houston Rockets, then look horrendous against the Hornets for one half, then completely dominate the Hornets the next, then get murdered by New York for two quarters, then spend 24 minutes showing the Knicks who their daddy is. It's a roller-coaster of emotions, and we fans no longer know whether we'll see the Celtics who can turn Marco Belinelli into Larry Bird or the Celtics who can turn Carmelo Anthony into Jiri Welsch.
"That's what I'm saying, it can't be like that,'' Kevin Garnett told the Boston Globe. "It can't be a situation where you do well against two teams and then come out and not do well against one team. Our thing since I've been here has always been consistency. I said that if we are going to be a great team, a team of fire, we are going to have to be a consistent team. Until the new guys get our schemes, that's going to be the challenge. That's where we're at right now.
"In order to be a good team, you can't have those letdowns.''
"We've been fighting ourselves somewhat the whole year," said Ray Allen, and I get the feeling he's not just talking about the Von Wafer-Delonte West brawl. The Celtics have been fighting off age, boredom, injuries and assorted other ailments which led to last year's 27-27, "Cool Runnings-without-the-cheers-and-good-vibes" crawl to the finish line. For the most part, they've done well. They're tied for first place in the Eastern Conference, would have home-court advantage against any team but San Antonio if the season ended today, and have already matched last season's win total. But still, they're missing a certain consistency—they're missing that Cobra Kai, "put him in a body bag, Johnny" killer instinct that marked the 2007-'08 Celtics.
"Something about this team, we have an extra gear,'' Paul Pierce told the Boston Globe. "We know when we have to turn it up. Sometimes maybe going to the ground, that's what it takes. I'd rather us start the beginning of the game like we've been thrown to the ground, but hey, this is a veteran team that knows how to push a button and get a win.''
Wouldn't it be better if that button were always pushed on?
One Response to "Still, there's that damning inconsistency"
Not that I like it, but it is really the same way the last Celtics Championship Team played during the Larry Bird era and I doubt this similarity is a coincidence. This 80′s team would usually play only hard enough to win. Occasionally when they turned it on toward the end of the game they would not be able to pull the game out. It would be unusual to see the current Celtics team play that way against quality opponents like Chicago, Miami, or Orlando. They can be forgiven, but then again they might already have first seed if they took each opponent seriously.

I hadn't really thought about weaning my son off bottles until I took him to the doctor's this week and she gave me a handout saying he should be having 3 bottles (6-8oz each) a day for a total of 24oz. We were giving him 5 bottles...at a total of 28oz a day still. Oops! I had been giving him sippy cups with meals but he has zero interest, bites on them, chokes and makes a big mess. We since discovered there are transition cups and picked those up and he is taking to those a bit better. I also switched to 3 bottles a day but now he seems cranky but it could be my imagination. My doctor also said he could start to have a little bit of homo milk now too (haven't started yet) as long as he is eating 12tbsps of solids a day which he is. My son's weight is above average (the doctor never mentioned any concerns, I was the one asking about how much to feed him).
Would you still give 28oz or go by the doctor's handout and do 24oz as in 3 bottles a day?
When they get to a year, is that when you just switched to sippy cups only? Did you do it cold turkey or gradually?
Did you add homo milk and formula together or give the homo milk separately?
So, confused, how did you go about weaning from bottles?
PS - I know that you don't take them off formula until a year.
I will (and always have) feed my child as much as he wants to eat. If he's satisfied with what you've been doing, keep doing it until you feel like he could do without one.
I've always read to do it gradually.
You mix the two together. Our pediatrician recommended we do half WCM and half BM one bottle a day for a few days, then two for a few, then three for a few, then four.
We tried a lot of different brands of sippy cups and I feel like that's where your DS' problem is with refusing them. We tried Munchkin, Nuby, Playtex, and finally found one that DS liked with the Nuk Learner Cup (which a lot of mamas say works for their kids). It has a silicone spout, so it kind of feels like a bottle.
As far as weaning him from a bottle, I'd try to do one "bottle" in a sippy cup every day, then go to two, then three, etc.
You always want to listen to your pedi. At that age, ours also told us to feed DS 20-24 oz of formula a day but it didn't have to be in 3 bottles so what I did was split it up into 4 bottles, wake up bottle at 6 oz, then 2 in the middle of the day at 4-5 oz each, and 7 oz right before bed for a total 21-23 oz.
When LO was 11.5 mo we introduced WM in very small amounts (4-8 oz a day) and continued increasing once he was a year. I still used mostly formula until just before a year because the nutrients in it are so good and LO is not a big eater so I wanted the benefits in it.
As far as sippy cups, we are still working on it. He has water and juice in sippies only but as far as milk goes, he still gets mostly a bottle. Every few days I give him his middle of day milk in a sippy but I find that he drinks less milk when it's from the sippy and I'm ok with him still having a bottle (he is now on WM only and drinking 3 bottles for a total of 16 oz). I think my biggest concern at a year was moving him to WM and doing both WM and a sippy might have been to much for my LO. Once he becomes better at drinking his milk from the sippy, I'll probably move all bottles to the sippy but I'm guessing he'll be more like 14-15 months before that happens.
What I started doing when I reduced the amount of milk was to feed him right after. So when we moved to less formula in the day (4-5 oz), I would also offer something to eat afterward or soon after so that he wouldn't go hungry. This helped him increase the amount of food he eats although he is still not a big eater. GL!
feed if LO is hungry. I feed until she starts to throw food on the floor or push the spoon away that's how she tells me very clearly she's done lol
as for bottles, I've only nursed but LO uses a straw cup now by herself with water (she never did "get" how to use a sippy, straw was easier)
elmoali:You've got three months before you should worry about transitioning to whole milk and a lot can change in 3 months. I don't see any reason to be freaking about the difference of 4 ounces of formula and all kids are different so it's not cut and dry to say every 9 month old should be eating 24 ounces. I also think it's absurd that your doctor cares how many bottles you make to give that number of ounces. If you have a snacker you could have to feed more often even if it totals the same number of ounces of a baby who eats fewer but larger bottles, kwim? In short, don't stress about following these guidelines you got to a T.
This. Feed what your LO wants, not what your doc says. It's only 4oz. We didn't switch to WCM until DS turned 1. Don't worry about this for now, you've got plenty of time.
you do everything gradually. my ped doesnt want my LO transitioning to a sippy cup. they told us to start letting him sip an ounce of water here and there when he was 6 months.
go forward with adding the yogurt, cheese, etc. i started adding 2 ounces of milk to 6 ounce of formula... take your time and be patient.

March 16 - May 15, 2009
"Saphire Bird" by Debbie Tarsitano
As a child growing up outside of New
York City in the 1960s and '70s,
Debbie Tarsitano remembers creating art
as soon as she could hold a pencil. By high
school, she had developed a love for
portraiture, drawing and oil painting. And
in 1976, she graduated from Hofstra
University with a BFA in painting.
While still in college, Tarsitano joined her
father in collecting art glass as a hobby.
Soon, that fascination led them to build a
glass studio in the family garage. After trial
and error, using torches, colored glass and
optical crystal, she succeeded in translating
her design ideas into glass art.
After the millennium Tarsitano
embarked on a new path, experimenting
with hot glass sculpture that
incorporated contemporary themes
and portraits in glass. She began to
focus on reinventing the portrait using
colored glass rods and powders. She
then took the further step of including
small glass sculptures as design
elements in oil paintings on canvas.
The result is a new mixed media
"My work must remain deeply
personal to be real as it continuously
evolves," says Tarsitano. "After thirty-five years I feel there is still much
to explore, transitioning portraits into glass."
Tarsitano lives and works in Westford, Massachusetts. For more
information, visit her website at www.debbietarsitano.com.

British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to French and American forces at Yorktown 231 years ago today. That engagement was the Revolutionary War's last major one; other skirmishes over the next few years would wound and kill participants, but Yorktown finally convinced the British Empire that it could not control people who refused to acknowledge its claims on them.
The bureaucrats in London directing the war made a great many mistakes, both strategic and otherwise — just as bureaucrats at the Pentagon did with Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan. Chief among their errors was equating the conquering of territory with victory, though the people in those regions hate you for your murders, rapes, pillaging, cronyism, injustice, bullying, and other depredations.
In the end, that hatred taught earlier Americans a determination to live free or die. Let us pray modern ones will recognize that their current rulers are leagues more brutal, corrupt and evil than King George III ever dreamed of being. And let us swear that we, too, will live free or die.
