Frontline Foundations staff is committed to providing substance abuse treatment for young people ages 18 to 28 to help them conquer their monsters, and live a long and productive life.
But it takes many dollars to accomplish that mission, so fundraisers are a part of Frontline's promise to their neighbors in need. Next Saturday, March 16, there is one opportunity you might not want to miss.
It is dinner at the Valparaiso University Harre Union with Christopher Kennedy Lawford, who is aggressively striving to promote activities supporting care and recovery through drug treatment for victims.
This extremely vibrant young man, whose name alone brings awareness, is part of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, the World Health Organization, and the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. His inspiring message is based on personal experience and unforgettable memories, as he is a recovered addict from alcohol and drug abuse, which began at age 11.
He has lived the life of hell, and his thoughts on awareness, education and hope will be coming from an expert. Lawford has written three books, beginning with "Recover to Live," followed by "Symptoms of Withdrawal," and his newest book, "Moments of Clarity."
It is my sincere hope that the Harre Union is packed. Many of us may not be involved with a drug abuser, but each person who lives in and around our county is in need of knowing where it starts, what it creates and how it can end.
No one can share that information better than someone who has been there and done that with near fatal results. Perhaps Lawford's words can not only help us understand addiction, but also give us ways to support, and someday, eliminate abuse — especially in young people — before it gets started.
This is the final week to order the $40 tickets; contact Derek Frazier at 728-1638 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you, Frontline, for giving us the chance to know the beginning of drug abuse, and the ways in which to help through the words of a high-level recovering addict.
One of the groups who support Frontline is Valparaiso Kiwanis Club, whose every dollar raised goes to agencies, nonprofit groups, and individuals in our community, and especially to children with extra-special needs.
There is still time to plan your breakfast for Saturday, March 9, as they sponsor the annual pancake breakfast for the minimal cost of $5 in advance or $6 at the door.
Along with the breakfast will be opportunities for little ones to enjoy activities, cotton candy and door prizes. The meal includes pancakes hot off the griddle, sausage, juice, coffee and milk.
Breakfast will be served from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., so you can start your day with a full tummy, or sleep in and have breakfast for lunch. To purchase advance tickets, call Jon Groth at 531-3170, Ext. 8225.
Mmm! Good!
Now I hope you all have a great day because you deserve it.
Thanks for reading. Fly your flag.

Members of the Springfield City Council are looking for a way to prevent further incidents like the one in April in which police records were apparently shredded or deleted after they were requested by a local reporter through the Freedom of Information Act.
Tuesday night aldermen passed out of committee an ordinance that would require all changes to union contracts be approved by the Council and signed by the Mayor. Such contractual changes are known as memorandums of understanding, or MOUs.

Van Nuys: On Friday, August 10, 2001, at 11:00 a.m., Van Nuys Homicide Detectives will hold a press conference to request the public's assistance in locating the whereabouts of a murder suspect.

Upon arrival at the location, officers found the victim, James Richard, male Black, 24 years of age, resident of the Van Nuys area, suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Mr. Richard was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
On Tuesday, August 7, 2001, Van Nuys Homicide Detectives identified the suspect as Donald Johnson, male Black, 31 years of age who was responsible for the murder. Johnson is the victim's brother-in-law.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Van Nuys Homicide Unit at 818-756-8377, or during non-business hours, the Van Nuys Watch Commander at 818-756-8346.

On May 18, 2012, Facebook became a publicly traded company. Facebook's stock has had some definite peaks and valleys since then. The value of the company has yet to reach its opening mark of $38 per share, settling in the $26-$28 neighborhood. MarketWatch compiled a timeline of Facebook's year after the initial public offering.

Analyst: Facebook's Advertising Looks More Like Spam
Although Facebook's stock value has recovered from its initial downfall to about $25 per share, one analyst sees another dip coming, largely because of the prevalence of advertising on the site. Richard Greenfield, a media and entertainment analyst for BTIG Partners, told CNBC that he is not confident about Facebook's future on Wall Street, noting that advertising on the social network looks more like spam.
Has Facebook Made Enough Progress In Mobile Monetization?
The main knock against Facebook in financial circles has been its inability to prove that it can be a solid buy for investors, especially in the way of mobile monetization. However, stock analysis firm Trefis thinks that Facebook has done enough in this field, and should be able to share a positive outlook in its fourth-quarter earnings call Wednesday.
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg Converts More Shares For Future Selling; Others Offload Stock
A few Facebook executives rang in the new year by selling off some of their stock in the company, making a tidy sum in the process. Facebook board member Donald Graham, Vice President of Engineering Michael Schroepfer, General Counsel Ted Ullyot, and Chief Accounting Officer David Spillane all sold some of their social network stock in the past few days, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. And Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg converted a portion of her shares from class-B to class-A, making them easier to sell.
Facebook To Release Fourth-Quarter Earnings Jan. 30
It has been an interesting fiscal quarter for Facebook, and in just a few weeks, everyone will know how the company did financially over the past three months. Facebook announced to investors Wednesday that it will hold its fourth-quarter earnings call at 2 p.m. PT Jan. 30.
Massachusetts Slaps $5M Fine On Morgan Stanley Over Facebook IPO
Morgan Stanley, which served as one of the lead underwriters for Facebook's much-hyped initial public offering, is coming under scrutiny by the state of Massachusetts. The state fined Morgan Stanley $5 million, claiming that the financial firm helped Facebook leak sensitive information to select companies, creating an unfair playing field for investors.
Facebook CAO David Spillane Sells More Than Half Of His Stock
The big names at the top of Facebook's corporate ladder are starting to cash in their shares. TechCrunch reported Friday that Chief Accounting Officer David Spillane sold 256,000 of his 416,000 shares. Spillane made a profit of roughly $5.376 million. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and General Counsel Theodore Ullyot also sold some of his Facebook shares.
Facebook Executives Sitting On A Fortune Of Stock Value
Several top Facebook executives, including Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars worth of their company's stock, but they have no plans to sell. As 234 million shares of Facebook stock became unlocked and eligible to sell Monday, Business Insider discovered just how much key Facebook executives are sitting on.
Uncle Sam, California Benefit From Facebook Employees' Stock Windfall
On Monday, rank-and-file Facebook employees will be able to sell their stock, which officially came to fruition Thursday. Collectively, the roughly 225 million shares are worth about $5.2 billion, based on Wednesday's closing price of $23.23 apiece. But it's not just Facebook employees who are excited for a potential sell-off — the federal and California governments stand to profit from this, as well.
Google Stock Drops With 3Q Report, Takes Facebook Down With It
The stock value of Google plummeted after its preliminary third-quarter report showed that income dipped 20 percent while costs rose. This news sent a ripple effect throughout other Web giants on Wall Street, as the share prices of Facebook and Yahoo fell Thursday, as well.

Smug Tip: Customize Your 404, Search Page and More
One of the most popular requests we've heard from our customers was :
"Why can't I customize my system pages?"
With the latest updates at SmugMug, Power, Portfolio and Business users can customize certain pages that were untouchable before.
What you can change?
First, be sure that you've migrated your site to the new SmugMug (which may take a while because of the number of people who have done this in the last 24 hours), then replace the "XXXXX" in the following links with your SmugMug nickname.
They're not listed in your Site Organizer since they can't actually be moved around, but we'll include them in your owner-only navigation, soon.
404 page
What: The error page that shows when people try to visit a page on your site that doesn't exist.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/404
Tip: Your fans may be frustrated trying to find something specific on your site when they get this page. Don't be afraid to drag and drop in a text box and type up something friendly that invites them to contact you.
What: Timeline view, which lets you (or viewers) search for photos shot within a specific date range.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/date
What: Your keyword cloud, which shows you all the keywords you've entered into your site, and how many photos are found under each.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/keyword
Tip: Keyword clouds are also available as a content block, found under the "Discovery" section of your site customization. It could look great on your Browse page, which is included by default of many of our design layouts.
What: The page your fans and clients see every time you share a gallery protected with a viewing password.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/password
Tip: Drop in a title and/or text box inviting them to email you if they can't remember the right password.
What: Your public photos and videos that other people have voted "Thumbs up" (now called "Like") and commented on the most.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/popular
What: A clean, simple, but extremely useful search field where anyone can type in a search term. Good for finding photos, galleries and videos.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/search
Tip: A search box is also available for dropping into any page on your site as a content block. Find it under the Discovery section in your site customization.
What: A page that lists all the folders (categories) on your site. When you're logged in, your unlisted and private folders will show up here, too.
See it: http://XXXXX.smugmug.com/browse
Tip: This page comes already linked from our default design layouts, and is a great place to drop in additional content boxes like the keyword cloud, the map, and the timeline search.
What you can't change
There's some core content on a few pages that you can't change, for obvious reasons (like the password fields on the password page). But you'll know that these can't be touched when you mouse over them in customization mode and you'll see a little lock icon in the corner.
How to do it
We'll admit that this feature hasn't yet got all the spit-and-polish that we want, but we hope to fix this with along with other stuff that will get ironed out over the coming weeks. Now let's get started!
1) Type in the URL to visit each page, as per the full list above. Just be sure to use your SmugMug nickname in the domain instead of the "XXXXX."
2) Click Customize > Customize Site from the top of your page. We'll open up the new Customization Mode with lots of content to pick and choose from. Click to expand each section and drag and drop the boxes into any area that highlights green on the page.
3) Once the boxes are on your page, mouse over them and click the little wrench icon in the top corner. You can can configure and change virtually any setting to perfect the content, as needed.
4) Save your changes when you're done. Remember that while you are still in preview mode, you can publish your changes and you'll be the only one who sees it until you officially, permanently "Unveil" your website.
Link them up
From here, you'll probably want to add a link to these pages from your website's menu bar so your visitors can use them (with the exception of the 404 and password pages, which will automatically be displayed to viewers at the proper time).
To do this, simply open your Site Customization mode again and click the wrench icon on your menu content block. Add a new link by hitting the "+" sign and select "Page I Choose." From there you can browse your site and select any of the system pages you've just customized. We've pre-loaded a few of the ones listed above for easy access.
Have fun! As always, let us know if you have questions, problems or creative customization ideas that you're willing to share.
The New SmugMug Is Here
Friends, photographers, cameramen, have we got news for you.
This morning, we pushed the button on one of the most exciting things we've ever built: a whole new SmugMug. We've dreamed about bringing you this kind of incredibly beautiful, powerful photo experience from day one and we hope that no matter what you do and who you are, you'll love it, too.
The Biggest Launch Since 2002
We razed the walls, stripped the wiring and built a better, stronger SmugMug from the ground up. It looks better, works better and (if we did things right) it's more intuitive and easy to use.
You'll notice a brand-new look and feel that showcases your photos more beautifully than ever before.
We'll notice that it's easier to bring you lots of new features in the coming years.
Best of all, it's all ready and waiting for you. All you have to do is try it.
New SmugMug:
Compare with the old SmugMug:
How do I use the new SmugMug? Will I lose all my stuff?
No! Unlike many other services, we're not forcing you to ditch your existing site. You'll have your very own secret preview mode that contains all your galleries, so that you can personalize it and get familiar with the new features. While it sounds scary, migration simply copies your website contents into a virtual sandbox that only you can see. When you're ready, YOU unveil your changes and make it public.
In short, there are now 3 possible states of SmugMug: Non-migrated SmugMug accounts (legacy), accounts in private preview (migrated), and the new SmugMug.
- Simply log in and go here: http://www.smugmug.com/migration
We'll ask if you'd like us to migrate your photos, memories and videos to the new SmugMug. While you experiment with the new features, your fans and clients will still see your old website, like always.
What content migrates? Your photo and video files as well as all the data associated with each: stuff like captions, keywords, geotagging, etc. If you're a Portfolio or Business account holder, your pricing, marketing tools and pro sales will work normally during migration as well as when you're in the new SmugMug. (No profits left behind!)
What won't migrate? Unfortunately, advanced customizations made in the old system aren't compatible with the new system. This was a very hard decision because we know many of you put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into customizing your sites. However, it's so much easier to customize your site and the designs are so much more compelling, we hope you'll forgive us.
Before I migrate, what can I expect?
Here are a few special things to consider as you're working in preview mode:
- Migrating and unveiling is a one-way street. Once you unveil your changes you can't go back to the old SmugMug.
- Changing gallery settings or rearranging photos will take effect on both your new and old site.
- Your visitors won't see any rearrangements of your folders and galleries while you remain in preview mode.
- If you create new galleries in preview mode, they will be visible on your current SmugMug site in a new category called 'Smug Preview'.
- When you unveil your new SmugMug site, the organization and customization you've created in preview mode will overwrite the old site settings.
Once my photos are migrated, what can I expect?
Once your photos are migrated, you'll be able to choose from – and edit! – our 20+ beautiful layouts ("Designs") that look stunning right out of the box. If that's not enough, edit, create and switch between "Themes" (which are like our old Themes, but way more powerful), and drag in some of the many content blocks that make your site completely unique.
There's so much to do and we want you to dig in yourself, so instead of overwhelming you with tips, here are our Top 3 Things We Think You Should Know:
1. You'll always work in private. SmugMug now lets you personalize your site without your fans and clients seeing all those awkward in-between stages. And you can safely save your progress, sleep on it, and pick up right where you left off. You can also build multiple looks (holiday templates, anyone?) and swap between them with one click.
3. You get a hub. As a SmugMugger, you deserve certain privileges, like being able to see all your stuff and keep it organized. You've told us this was a major pain point in the old SmugMug, so we sweated bullets in order to get this part right. The brand-new Site Organizer is THE place for you to upload, drag to arrange, create galleries, folders and pages (up to 7 layers deep), bulk tweak and delete, change settings and so much more… from a familiar folder tree that you already know.
Over the next few weeks we'll be showing you tips, examples and everything you need to get the most out of your new site. So if you're feeling lost or need a little inspiration for creating a new look for your website, keep your eyes right here on our blog.
Which features are available on Basic accounts?
While customization was a big chunk of the improvements we made, it's not everything. We've redone our homepage and info pages so you can see exactly what features are available at every account level.
Everyone gets the powerful, drag and drop Site Organizer. Everyone can apply an array of beautiful Themes and content blocks to their site, with three important differences:
- Basic users may use and swap between our many Themes, but won't be able to edit or create them.
- Basic users can customize content and layout for their homepages only.
- Content blocks related to more complex customization and commerce features are not included on Basic accounts.
And great news: We've gone ahead and added video uploads to Basic accounts. Enjoy!
When can I start? And what's next?
The great news: You can start right now.
Again, simply log in and go here: http://www.smugmug.com/migration
We're not about to drop you into the pool without a little help. We've squished our brains together and updated our help pages to include a variety of new articles, as well as some "what's new" content that compares old features with how things work now.
Important! Our fabulous Support Heroes are always available to lend a hand, but due to the sudden wave of ecstatic SmugMug tinkerers over the next few days (like you!), please check the help pages first and allow the Heroes a little extra time to respond to your tickets.
And as always, we'll be sharing lots of helpful posts about building a brand-new website, tips for getting it done fast and insight into some of the things we think you'll love most about the new SmugMug.
Questions? Stuck on a particularly tough nugget? Send us an email, comment, passenger pigeon or smoke signal so that we can best help you get the site of your dreams. We want to hear what you love, what stings, and what you think of our baby.
The Comprehensive List
Here's the full list of things that we've improved or built for you in this release. In addition to the below, we've done a ton of work behind-the-scenes making SmugMug work faster, more reliably, and easier for us to deliver brand-new features in the coming months.

How to Find Your Next Photography Adventure
Photos by Michael Bonocore Photography
As we approach the high point of the summer season, we hope that all of you out there are making the most of the long hours and the beautiful light!
But the idea of "traveling with camera" falls somewhere between throwing a point-and-shoot into your suitcase and being hired to cover the Four Seasons' grand opening. So how do you pack without going overboard, or avoid leaving critical stuff at home?
Travel Podcast with Michael Bonocore
Since so many of us live to take photos, we thought it'd be a good time to sit down and talk with one of our most exuberant and well-journeyed friends, Michael Bonocore, about the art of travel. You've probably already seen him on Google+, our forums or at a live event, but he also spends his time around the world guiding others to better photos and better giving through The Giving Lens.
In our podcast, he tells us more about his travels and how to balance being on the road with having the gear you need. Learn about:
- What specific things should photographers think about when planning their next adventure?
- Do you really need insurance?
- Is it terrible to put your camera in checked baggage?
- Besides the camera, what is the most important thing you should take?
- What are the best ways to keep photos organized while you're not at home?
Have a listen now on iTunes and start preparing for your next adventure. Safe travels, and don't forget to capture and share your summer memories!
Is That a Smartphone in Your Pocket?
The best camera is the one you always have with you… but that doesn't mean you should just point, shoot, and hope for the best.
In our next webinar, we'll talk about the explosion of this little thing called mobile photography and how to leverage that more-powerful-than-you-think camera phone. More than just a convenient device in your pocket, your smartphone is a valuable marketing tool that most pros simply overlook.
New Webinar! Mobile Photography with Angie Garbot
This month, we're talking with full-time Chicago photographer and instructor Angela Garbot, whose professional work spans a variety of subjects from beautiful brides to culinary delights. She was recently featured on CNN.com for being one of the few wedding photographers who work with the ubiquitous camera phone, rather than against it. Because of her insights, we've asked her to show us why the versatility and portability of your camera phone is the best thing to happen to the photography industry, how to shoot winning camera phone pics, and how you can harness the power of mobile photography to boost your business.
Wednesday, July 24, 2013
8:00 PM ET, 7:00 PM CT, 6:00 PM MT and 5:00 PM PT
Register for this event!
We've all got smartphones in our pockets, using them to snap and share on the go. But are you happy with what you're getting? Do you actually think before sharing those with your friends and fans? If you're like most of us, you probably answered "No." But mobile photography is no excuse to take a bad photo! And if you're a pro, you could be missing out on a vital piece of your business' marketing plan.
In this webinar we'll show you how to maximize your built-in camera app functions, introduce you to some powerful editing apps and then discuss how to use social media and your smartphone images to enhance your business. We'll talk about some do's and don't's in sharing, the importance of hash tagging, ways to engage your clients using your smartphone images, and tips for live-tweeting with images.
See you there!

Adventure Photography: Is it Worth the Risk?
We hope that many of you are out there enjoying your summer and spending time with the people you love most. This week we're talking to Smug friend Kelsey Gray: climber, world traveler, photographer and author of Alaska Rock Climbing Guide. He's well known for doing heart-pounding stunts like cliff jumping – stunts that most of us will only ever enjoy in his photographs. So we had to ask the burning question: Why do you bring the camera and is it really worth the risk?

My first foray into climbing was back sometime around 2002 when I took an indoor rock climbing course at the Alaska Rock Gym through the University of Anchorage Alaska. Before that time, I was purely a gaming nerd who had gained almost 65lbs after high school eating cheeseburgers and pizza. With the occasional challenge of who can drink the most ketchup or eat the most salt packets, those were some very unhealthy years. During a routine doctor visit (also partially due to the emotional issues that come with being overweight and with an astronomical blood pressure), my doctor said that if I didn't get off the computer and fix my blood pressure I would probably have a stroke by 30. I was 20 and that didn't leave me much time.
After the indoor course, I enrolled in the outdoor course and found that to be even better. I soon after began climbing outdoors with a friend from Era Aviation, where we both worked. Later that year I began climbing with John Borland, who would introduce me to many areas around Hatcher Pass as well as becoming a great climbing partner and friend.
Enter: Photography.
Sometime during my first few years of climbing I became more interested in hiking peaks. My uncle, Dano Michaud, had dragged me unwillingly up a peak called Harp Mountain and the 1000+ft glissade (natural slide down the snow) hooked me. That summer I climbed peak after peak and soon realized that explaining the beauty of the areas was simply not enough. I needed to show it.
My very first camera was a small point and shoot with no screen and not enough megapixels to warrant labeling it on the front. I'm pretty sure it came free with a printer, which was also terrible. After a few trips I realized I needed a better camera. I upgraded to a Fuji Finepix F700 which worked for me for a long time. I then moved on to a Fuji Finepix S9000 before finally making the jump to SLR with the Canon 20D. After the 20D I moved on to the Canon 50D (which was later stolen from my car), and finally to my current camera the Canon 7D.
During my years of climbing I have learned some important lessons about myself, and how I view life. I am never more confortable than when dangling from a cliff with the sun setting and the wilderness expanding in my view. I've often said that the journey is not the summit but in the adventure, which I'm pretty sure is a mashup of others quotes, but I can't discount the great feeling of having made it as high as I can go without actually flying into the air. When I reach the top of a peak or climb and look out over the expanse I have a ritual that I try to do as often as possible. It is as follows:
1. Close your eyes and wait for at least 30 seconds. Let all the emotions, feelings, failures and successes wash into you. Reject nothing.
2. Open your eyes and star directly ahead. Everything washes away, and I can't help but feel that I was not meant to have a wall in front of me. Cubicles were not meant for us.
Help or Hinder?
There are times when I won't bring my camera climbing and I usually regret it. The hairy times when the sheep dung really hits the fan is when the camera seems to really come into use, if not for just recording the trip for my own memory. The worst time to have a camera attached to you is when jammed into an off-width. This is the climber term for anything that you can't wedge your body into but is too big to use a single hand or fist to climb. It's probably the most uncomfortable situation most humans will ever find themselves in. A 60m off-width can feel like you've just run a marathon, sprinting, while holding a log over your head. (If you're curious about just what an off-width has to offer then Google for the video, "Boogie Till You Poop.") Add climbing gear to your harness and it becomes worst; add a camera and you'll pray it doesn't shatter.
It is not easy to bring a camera as large as a Canon 7D up a climb, especially with consideration of the lens size. I usually stick with the kit lens that comes with the 7D, the 18-135mm, it's not the best lens but it is light and easy to carry. I would upgrade to a better lens, except I'm always spending all my money on travelling. I like to carry it in a waist pack that I often clip to my harness, just in case it comes off. I know others who use backpacks but I don't like having to take it off to get my camera out. That is my general kit for all adventures. Not much, but just enough so that I don't feel burdened by it. The camera is there for my use to record everything that I wish to keep for myself or show to others, so I've had to take a rather lenient stance on its value. If I consider it gold then I'll never bring it to the truly dangerous adventures. There are times I almost have to convince myself that my camera is already gone before I bring it, then I just try and make sure it stays in one piece. This allows me to continue to bring it to the most dangerous situations.
Worth the Risk?
There are others in climbing that are much more advanced in climbing photography than I. I've often marveled at their ability to get paid to do the things I'm paying for! But with everything comes risks, such as the photographer that was with Johnny Copp and Micah Dash, two amazing alpinists that died in an avalanche, their photographer (Wade Johnson) by their side. I've often had to decide just what is it I want to do, how far do I take this hobby that has become a driving force in life? I'm still figuring that part out. I have found that half of the reason I travel is to take photographs. If I were to lose my camera today it would probably take quite a lot of self-reflection to pull myself from the loss, even if I have the illusion that the loss is already imminent.
Like many other climbers I am driven too heavily by emotions. I would love to say that most of my travelling began as a desire to see the world and experience new things. The truth is that many of my travels have been fuelled by escape, the desire to escape the emotions that come with a loss, whether it is a relationship or the death of a loved one. Over time it has had to change as those emotions were hidden, or in my current case I found someone who truly makes me happy in life. Previously I spent much of the time travelling the world alone, a few of the trips included others. Now I try to share it with others, those who I travel with and those who I get to show through the photographs I take.
Stay safe, wherever you are this summer! If you're playing it safe at home or at the office, you can get your thrills from the other installments in our Photography Perspectives series.

Question: With all the best- and worst-of-2005 lists I've seen, I've been wondering about the worst movies of all time. But though I've seen dozens of lists, with the exception of Plan 9 from Outer Space and Glen or Glenda, the movies on the lists all seem to have been made between 1980 and the present. Are there any bad-movie lists that go back to the early days of film, or is it just that movies started getting really bad in the 1980s?
Answer: I'll answer the second part of your question first: It's not that movies have gotten worse but that smarty-pants treasuring of "worst movies of all time" lists is a relatively recent phenomenon, one that I blame on Harry and Michael Medved and their condescending Golden Turkey Awards. I'm not saying that there aren't terrible movies out there, only that squandering energy that could be better used in any of a hundred ways on hunting down and cata

First off, Melinda Clarke is not married to Malcolm McDowell, or to the agent he was playing tonight. Which is a good thing, since we love Julie Cooper and hate that guy. Trying to steal Vince from Ari like that, and at the little Gold girl's bat mitzvah, no less! Of course, it's not like anyone on the guest list was on their best behavior. Don't these people know that the Beverly Hilton is a castle of class? Except when the annual Television Critics Association tour hits town, but that's a whole other column. Anyhoo, I have to say Mandy Moore's dropping that shocker about her broken engagement threw me as much as it did Vinnie, and probably for the same reasons. No good can come from these two getting back together; it totally kills our chances of Andy Roddick's making a cameo and really, the world only needs one Gigli. If that. Then again, James Cameron did turn Titanic into an Oscar winner des

OK, so that butt-kisser James Lipton deemed Jennifer Lopez worthy of an Inside the Actors Studio appearance. But the rest of us know J.Lo more for her booty-shaking dance moves, addictively catchy pop songs and husband-juggling than for her acting prowess. Let's face it: The 35-year-old superstar was outta sight in Out of Sight, but she's since appeared in forgettable fluff like The Wedding Planner and the critically despised bomb Gigli. Still, rather than admit defeat, Razzie winner Lopez defends her performance in last year's most maligned flick.
"I don't look at Gigli the way I think the rest of the world looks at Gigli," Lopez says. "I gauge my success on whether or not I have done my job and how well I did it. For me, I consider that movie a success in that sense.
"I went in there with a certain amount of material that I could work with," she continues. "I did the best that I could. When I walk away from

So mild even very young children love it. Canadian Havarti has enough character to seduce the most discerning taste buds. A delicious cheese to discover and rediscover with pleasure!
- Aroma Butter aroma
- Taste Butter, very sweet, slightly acidulous; old havarti is salty and tastes like hazelnut
- Texture Supple and flexible texture
Basic info
Category: Semi-soft
Appearance: Rindless, smooth and slightly bright surface; cream to yellow colour, with very small and irregular openings ("eyes") distributed in the mass
Varieties: Plain, flavoured with herbs; jalapeno peppers, etc.
How to enjoy them?
The mild flavour of Canadian Havarti lends itself to numerous uses in the kitchen. You can add it to all your favourite dishes: sandwiches, salads, pasta, rice or vegetables. By itself, with raw vegetables or fruit, Havarti satisfies all those little cravings.
How are they made?
To make Havarti, the curds are pressed, cooked, drained and divided. Typically aged about three months, ripening begins from the interior out to the rind.
Visit the cheesemaking page to learn more about how Canadian cheeses are made.
As a rule, make sure that the wrapping adheres well to the cheese to prevent it from drying out. Store your cheeses in the lower shelf of your refrigerator, far from foods with strong odours, to avoid absorption of unwanted tastes and smells. If you follow these rules, your refrigerator's vegetable drawer will make a good storage place.
To preserve its freshness, plastic wrap is the most versatile and accessible. It also provides the tightest seal to protect it from moisture, odours and possibly mould in the fridge.
All cheeses can be frozen but do keep in mind that freezing can affect their texture and character. This is why thawed cheeses are best used for cooking. Neither the taste nor the texture of meals cooked with previously frozen cheeses will be affected.
You can freeze cheeses, in pieces of 500 g or less, for up to two months! Make sure they are carefully wrapped in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight freezer bag. It is important to allow them to thaw slowly in the refrigerator before using.

Hollybrook resident finally getting closure
As disabled residents of the Hollybrook Apartments on St. Joseph's Villa property south of the main campus navigate to cross Brook Road, many face difficulties with traffic and are fearful for their safety. Resident Brian Montgomery has been fighting for enhancements for the Brook Road corridor along the Villa's property since 2000, when he was struck by an SUV while on his way to get groceries. His chair wound up under the vehicle and he barely escaped breaking his neck. Twelve years later, he is finally seeing plans put in motion to make the corridor a safer area for residents and pedestrians.
The Hollybrook complex is a HUD Section 8 apartment community for people living with disabilities and was designed for people confined to wheelchairs. It now serves seniors and people with mental illnesses as well and consists of two developments, Hollybrook I and Hollybrook II; each has 30 units.
For the residents of Hollybrook, crossing the busy intersection is something they do daily because across Brook Road sits a Wal-mart and other stores that many of them frequently use. With a high number of handicapped people in close proximity to a major roadway, the chances of getting hit or dealing with careless drivers has escalated. It's frustrating for tenants because despite safety concerns, there have been no major improvement to the road for more than 60 years – until now.
Things are finally moving forward, as VDOT and Henrico County are funding a $5.5 million project at the site. The construction budget originally was assessed at $2.4 million, but after a delay of five years to finalize plans, the cost more than doubled.
Project plans include sidewalk enhancements at the Villa entrance and Wal-mart entrance at the back of Hollybrook; sidewalks will be enlarged from four feet to seven feet. A sidewalk behind Brook Road that runs from the corner of Villa Park Drive to the entrance of Hollybrook will be enlarges as well, and an additional sidewalk will be built to run all to way to Parham Road in front of the Villa.
It has taken more than a decade of advocating through letters, e-mails, meeting and phone calls for Montgomery and residents of Hollybrook Apartments to see any signs of change. Montgomery wishes the issue had been handled sooner, so that several life-altering incidents could've been avoided.
"I got hit back in 2000 and I met some neighbors of mine and we started contacting Henrico County, trying to get sidewalks and improvements out here in Hollybrook," he said. "When it was built in 1984 they should've put the sidewalks in but they didn't. We've been going back and forth with Henrico County and VDOT for about 12 years trying to get it all nailed down."
A few sidewalk and crosswalk signals were added to the Brook and Wilkinson intersection more than five years ago, but the changes almost served as a temporary fix to the serious safety issue that residents encounter.
"When crossing Brook Road, you have to put your life in your own hands to get across there because the traffic just keeps on getting worse and worse. We do have countdown clocks and sensors at the stoplights now to help us but it's not enough," said Montgomery.
Montgomery has been lobbying for years to see changes made and has dealt with defeat before. His hopes were raised in 2005 when Henrico officials allocated $500,000 toward the project, but when funds from VDOT fell through, so did the transportation fix.
The corridor enhancements have an expected completion date of November 2012. Until then, Montgomery is going to be patient and hope that his continued efforts and optimism will lead to positive changes for himself and the residents of Hollybrook.
"It isn't going to hit me until i see the improvements and I see them putting in the changes," he said.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

To me this seemed to give me a burst of energy for a few hours after taking it. Probably due to the caffeine. Useful I think as a caffeine pill replacement when you don't have time for a coffee. as for dieting, perhaps it will help, but of course it's how much you are eating that will really matter.

I've used different "diet" pills over the years and I like these quite a bit. They don't leave me feeling too wired but I definitely have a jolt of energy and don't have the "snackies" all day.

Drivers going around the 'Tesco roundabout' in town may be in for a shock as Morag the dragon has been captured and chained up there! Some reports have reached us that the dragon appears to be breaking free – more as we have it!
The dragon has been loaned to the people of Wrexham by Poplars Forge, a company that creates such sculptures from scratch. Steven Gillard and Stuart Wilson from the company arrived at the roundabout around 10am today to install the artwork.
Speaking to Wrexham.com Steve said the installation went without a hitch, "There were no problems whatsoever, we have done all the engineering so knew everything was going to go right"
"We have a pin in the middle so we can spin or position the dragon any way we want"
Looking forward to other dragons in and around town he said "We have it looking up towards Waterworld so all we need now is another one looking down then we will have two dueling dragons and a battle on our hands! Doing that would be a fantastic new landmark for Wrexham"
He revealed the dragon is female, and called Morag and takes significant amounts of work to create, "We are used to building them now, and this one took around six weeks of two mens work to create her. This is one of the biggest ones we have done though."
The dragon appears to be breaking out of its chains, so we asked if there was any danger to residents or it flying away, Steve said "No, it will probably only fly away if we get another on top of Waterworld!"
We exclusively revealed last month that the plinth was in place ready for the dragon, yet no date for installation was made, we did mention it could be a rebranding exercise! We asked today if our slight tongue in cheek 'rebranding' of the roundabout is something they thought of he did say "That is something we hope, and we think the council hopes"

Definitions for kidney stone
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word kidney stone
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
kid′ney stone`(n.)
a stony mineral concretion formed abnormally in the kidney.
Category: Pathology
Origin of kidney stone:
Princeton's WordNet
kidney stone, urinary calculus, nephrolith, renal calculus(noun)
a calculus formed in the kidney
kidney stone(Noun)
A calculus in the kidney; (older term) kidney gravel
Kidney stone
A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney, ureter, or bladder, or by their chemical composition. About 80% of those with kidney stones are men. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size they can cause obstruction of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction causes postrenal azotemia and hydronephrosis, as well as spasm of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen, and groin. Renal colic can be associated with nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Renal colic typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes, beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin or genitals. The diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Ultrasound examination and blood tests may also aid in the diagnosis.

Children on the Frontline: Children and Young People in Disaster Risk ReductionAction needed in disaster risk reduction is now more than ever interwoven with action for climate change adaptation.
For the 2009 UN ISDR Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Civil Society around the world produced the unprecedented Views from the Frontline survey on Disaster Risk Reduction. The contribution of Plan and World Vision to this survey enabled the production of this child-focused report.:p:The findings of the survey see that children are, by and large, excluded from the activities that contribute to building the resilience of their local communities. Analysis leads to the argument that good governance is the foundation of DRR. The paper argues that governance and education (both formal and informal) are mutually reinforcing: an informed and motivated citizenry will ensure good governance on DRR, and good governance will thrive on the input of proactive citizens.:p:"DRR inclusion must be full, equal and comprehensive. This means more than simply consulting or asking children what they think of climate and disaster risks. It means giving them access to information that they need to comprehensively understand the dynamics of climate change, and its impact on their rights and their opportunities. It means encouraging them to use that knowledge in creative and innovative ways to safeguard their future, to design and implement their own actions with the support they need, and to take part fully in interventions initiated by adults. This requires a change in the attitude and commitment of stakeholders now to value what children and young people can do.":p:"Children must be engaged as a vital part of the civil society mechanism that monitors HFA progress, which the Views from the Frontline survey has sought to establish. This report describes key findings from a global survey which was designed to validate this argument.":t:Children on the Frontline: Children and Young People in Disaster Risk Reduction:/t:

2014 is seeing a lot of changes in home and nursery decor. We're seeing a shift from vintage to modern and clean, minimal looks with a bit of whimsy to keeps things sweet.
I'm a fan of the new trends and am totally inspired to change things up a bit in Abby and Wyndham's room over the next few months, beginning of course with a few fresh new DIYs to please my crafty heart. Click through and see what pleases you!
Featuring the boldest and the most delicious looks...
Click through them all and get inspired!
Easy Wall Art DIY
Block printing with yarn! You're welcome.
Made In Finland
Ah, those Finnish! They sure know design and that wallpaper has me swooning. Love the white floors and minimal, yet whimsical decor.
"Mila's Fun, Music Inspired Nursery"
Yet not folksy in the least (not that I have anything against that!). I just really dig the use of graphic accents going on here, from the rug to the crib layette to the black and white palette tweaked with little pops of bright colour! Well done.
Totally Rad!
Wallpapered ceilings, interesting pendant-style lighting, and ceiling murals are all the rage right now. Apparently. I'm down.
DIY Brilliance
This room is a labour of love that little Mabrey's mama put her whole heart into. I love the wall colour (again), the cool DIY wall art and graphic prints.
Keeping with the Flow
I like how these parents coordinated the nursery to the main room of the house, and I especially like the use of a darker palette here. Dark walls can totally work in a little one's room!
Family Nursery
For those with small spaces, this is pretty brilliant and resourceful! Another win in the repurpose and DIY categories.
Hello Art
This one inspires me to make one saying, "hello I love you" on three canvasses in black and white! The question remains: high gloss or matte paint?
Grady's Triangles
A fresh, fun mix of mid-century modern meets 2014! Lots of repurposing and DIY projects going on here.
Saturated & Abstract
Another dark wall win! Fantastic DIY wall art too!
Triangle Quilt DIY
One of my most favourite colour palettes of the moment. I need an excuse to redo Wyndham and Abigail's shared room in these colours!
Gabriel's Elephant Nursery by Sissy + Marley
Absolutely beautiful. Every last inch. Love all of the handknit plush going on and the muted, neutral palette.
Hip & Fresh
This fantastic space was styled for a sweet little boy names Leo (another name win!). The idea of grey walls are my new obsession, and this is the room that did it for me! Big time mobile crush too.
On Having It All
This one might be my favourite for it mix of modern, bright and neutral palette. Warm rustic wood meets the polished, clean lines of the enamel on that dresser, and I adore it! Liking all the little DIY accents going on too.
Love for the Elephant
I like the subtle, modern elephant theme going on here with the graphic prints. It's not overly childish, yet just whimsical enough. Lovely space.
"Axel's Clean & Cozy Nursery"
Firstly, I adore that name for a little boy! Secondly, what a cool space! This is something that is both modern and functional with just the right amount of whimsy still for a baby. I dig that this is a room that a baby can grow into, from toddlerhood into childhood and beyond!
Graphic Cloud DIY
Simple, fun, and easy! All the things you're looking for when thinking of making your own baby mobile, AMIRITE?

At Rs 5.59 Lakh, Ford EcoSport is finally here
So the wait for Ford's much talked about compact SUV comes to an end today. At its Delhi launch, Ford launched its latest addition- Ford EcoSport at an enticing price of Rs 5.59 lakh.
Ford EcoSport has been one of the most talked about cars this year. With its prelaunch campaign- Discover your city making news for the right reasons, its finally the SUV itself that hitting the headlines. The compact SUV has been launched amidst fanfare befitting its status. The all new EcoSport has been launched in three engine variants and 4 trim levels namely- Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium (O).
The car comes packed with its unique 1.0 Liter Ecoboost engine which promises to do justice to all the claims made by the company about its new compact SUV. The very special small three-cylinder engine is one of its kind that will enable EcoSport to have greater fuel efficiency, lower carbon emission and a greater boot space. The engine will be capable of churning 125PS power and 170Nm torque. The SUV is, from today, available in three engine variants including the 1.5liter petrol engine and 1.5 liter turbo diesel engine. Both these are well performing variants with capacity of 112 PS and 91 PS respectively. These engines come with direct injection system that enables EcoSport to enjoy greater efficiency of combustion. Also, the SUV promises more combustion per cycle in these engines which will further improve the SUV's fuel output.
Ford EcoSport will also come powered with a unique cooling and exhaust system. It will ensure that the exhaust temperature remains low along with maintaining optimum fuel to air ratio even at high speeds. The turbo charger will allow EcoSport to enjoy a greater torque even at lower displacement levels. The petrol variant, even though a conventional engine comes with tweaking that will increase the SUV's fuel efficiency by about 20% and lower its carbon emission by up to 15%. All of these variants will be available with a choice of six speed manual (petrol and diesel variants) or automatic (petrol variant only) transmission system.
Among the several other firsts, EcoSport also features a two stage variable oil pump which will lower the friction and heat development in the crank shaft at all times, lowering the fuel consumption of the SUV. Besides a powerful under the hood system, Ford EcoSport comes with voice command mechanism that has been developed in collaboration with Microsoft. This technology will allow users to have handless and wireless access to their phone and music at all times without compromising the safety. In terms of security quotient, EcoSport fares well too. The SUV comes with six airbags and an Emergency Assistance system which greatly increase the security level in the SUV.
At a starting price of Rs 5.59 lakh (Ex-Showroom Delhi), EcoSport will be available in three variants, four trim levels, seven colors and a choice of 38 accessories. Besides these features, the SUV will also come with high end features such as push button start, rear parking assistance, USB and AUX connectivity, adjustable interior lighting etc.
The compact SUV falls in the sub 4m Category and hence, easily enjoys the competitive pricing. It will be manufactured at the company's Chennai facility. According to Mr. Joginder Singh, MD Ford India, utility vehicles are the fastest growing segment of automotive sector currently with having recorded >250% increase between 2005 and 2012. The segment is set to register a further approximate 50% increase in the coming decade. As such, Ford EcoSport can easily be anticipated to do well and perhaps, set a new trend.

How do I keep my hsuband out of the christmas cookies??
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 12-11-2013 - 10:52am
My husband was disgnosed with diabetes this summer and he was told to watch his diet. He was doing real good until last week when everyone started putting out cookies and giving them to us. I want to know how to keep him away from the cookies. He cant just not take any or throw them away. They are like a magnet to him.
|Thu, 12-12-2013 - 8:07pm
This is a difficult situation, isn't it? The best solution may be to keep the cookies out of the house. Let friends and family know how difficult this is for both of you, and perhaps they can find another way to share the season with you. One of my friends gives all the cookies and treats she receives to a homeless shelter or a local soup kitchen and that makes her feel really good. ~Lynn @Glucerna
|Wed, 12-18-2013 - 7:24pm
Hi Kay,
Most cookies are around 18 grams of carbs each unless they have frosting. So if he has a cookie then he can't have something else. Let him choose. But of course the best bet would be not to even bring the temptation into the house. But ultimately you can't stop him from eating and at this season just try to help him make better choices. Maybe walking the malls shopping for Christmas presents will help him use up his calories! There are diabetic cooking that can be substituted. Both the ADA, DLIfe and Diabetic Living have good tasting cookie recipes.
Good Luck! And a Merry Christmas to all of you.

"Great recipe! The lime juice makes the recipe extra special! I recommend cutting the sweet potatoes on the super small side so they cook all the way through.Also, the sour cream and cilantro as a garnish is a must and very yummy!I made this for a friend who cannot have dairy (skip the sour cream) or wheat and she loved it!"
"I can't believe this hasn't been rated yet! AMAZING salad! I made it once and thought it was so yummy that I couldn't stop thinking about it and I had to make it again. I used vegetable broth and the second time I just used roasted red peppers from a jar to make it easier on myself. Full of fantastic flavors and textures!"
"Yummy salad! I was a little skeptical about how the asparagus would taste with southwestern ingredients but it made it heartier than it would be without. I used a red bell pepper (not a fan of green peppers) and added cilantro.I also made it once without sour cream for a vegan friend. She said it tasted great and the avocado made it creamy with..."
"I didn't think I was a lentil fan until I tried this salad....amazing! The feta made it extra tasty. I didn't change a thing about the recipe and I thought it was perfect. A must have salad for Summer!"

Davidson ranks high in business survey
Site Selection magazine has again given Davidson County a high ranking for its economic-development efforts.
The magazine ranked the Lexington-Thomasville area as the nation's No. 3 small community for corporate projects in 2012.
The combined area was credited for 18 projects, two fewer than top-ranked Statesville-Mooresville, which has a strong NASCAR connection. Statesville-Mooresville was ranked first for the second consecutive year.
In recent years, the two North Carolina areas have dominated the small-community rankings, with Lexington-Thomasville ranking No. 1 in 2010 and 2007. In 2010, Lexington-Thomasville had 26 new facility projects.
New facilities and expansions must involve a capital investment of at least $1 million, or create at least 50 new jobs or add at least 20,000 square feet of new floor area.
Officials in the two cities have credited their success to an aggressive business recruitment strategy that includes business incentives.
For the sixth consecutive year, the Greensboro-High Point metropolitan statistical area was ranked in the top 10 in the category that includes areas with populations ranging from 200,000 to 1 million. It was ranked sixth with 30 projects. The Winston-Salem MSA was not ranked in the top 10.
North Carolina was ranked seventh overall with 280 projects. It was ranked fourth in 2011. Texas was first with 761 projects.
Top Ten
Micropolitans: In North Carolina, Shelby tied for fifth in the Site Selection magazine ranking for Top Micropolitans. Lincolnton tied for 11th.
Census: A micropolitan area is a rural county in which the largest city does not exceed a population of 50,000. The U.S. has a total of 576 micropolitan areas.

In his postfight interview after the 10th round stoppage of his championship fight in the 10th round with Vitali Klitschko in September, Riverside's Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola vowed that he would be back.
He is, but nobody expected it to be this soon.
Arreola (27-1, 24 KOs) returns to the ring Saturday night on HBO against Brian Minto (34-2, 21 KOs).
The fight will be televised live on HBO before the the Paul-Williams-Sergio Martinez fight.
"I'm looking forward to getting back in the ring against Brian Minto," Arreola said. "I know Minto will come to fight, he has an all action style, but I will be ready and am looking to put on an explosive performance.
"I'm looking to end 2009 on a positive note and looking to challenge for a title again in 2010."
The question is, can he? The old saying in boxing and in sports is that you learn more about a fighter after a loss. Will Arreola be able to return to the form that he was in before the Klitschko fight?
