Degrassi Web Of Love: A Comprehensive Relationship FlowchartPosted on 02/06/2014 by Rachel1016
Ever wonder how Jimmy is connected to Declan? Or how Miles is connected to… Fiona? Well Degrassi fans, in honor of Valentine's Day fast approaching, we decided to map out every major couple that's ever existed over thirteen seasons of the show. That's right, we dug deep into the Degrassi relationship archives to show you all of the characters who've done a little dating do-si-do!
Now, for all you Degrassi purists out there, we couldn't count every single kiss that's ever been shared on the show. (And really, who wants to remember that one time Declan and his sister kissed, anyway?) But you'll know that Miles dated Zoe, who kissed Drew, who broke Katie's heart, who ended up with Jake, who once had a thing with Clare, who's dating Eli, who used to be with Imogen, who was in love with Fiona! Behold.
Degrassi Recap: 'Better Man'Posted on 02/05/2014 by Rachel1016
Last night, in an all-new Degrassi, we watched the Degrassians begin to pick up the pieces that were left from an epic premiere episode. If you haven't seen "Better Man" yet, make sure to watch it online right here before reading our recap!
Maya really wanted to fit in with Grace and the rest of the students in the Rubber Room, so she asked Tristan to give her a total bad-girl makeover.
As she walked into class wearing her new look (which was complete with heavy eye-liner, combat boots, and a nose ring), Grace noticed and determined that Maya, y'know, could hang. Grace invited her to skip class with the rest of the Rubber Room kids, and even though BF Miles questioned her need to fit in based on appearance and playing hooky (to be fair, not without calling her a "cute weirdo"), Maya gladly accepted Grace's invitation.
While Maya and the rest of the crew were hanging out at the picnic tables, Zig straight up pulled out a BB gun. And while we were all, "Ummm, I think we're moving a little too fast? Let's take this slow?" Zig insisted that if Maya really wanted to hang with them, she had to hold on to the gun. Next thing we know, Maya's standing in an empty classroom aiming the gun at a fish tank. �A fish tank! Clearly desperate to be initiated into the Rubber Room crew, Maya pointed the gun at the fish tank, prepared to vandalize the school and kill a bunch of innocent gill-bearing creatures, when…
…she realized the gun was just a toy. Oh Zig, that was some high caliber humor. (Not.)
Thankfully, the prank brought Maya to her senses, and she realized that trying to fit in with the kids in the Rubber Room wasn't worth the terrible decisions that would likely ensue. She stood up to Zig and Grace, and insisted that she, and in fact they all, deserved to get out of the Rubber Room and be treated as students, not delinquents.
In the end, Grace actually respected Maya for having the guts to speak her mind. And we sure do, too.
Still a little wounded by Clare's apparent lack of interest in him, Drew hoped landing a Youth Advisor job on Mr. Hollingsworth's campaign would restore his confidence. (Side note: Is Drew, like, worried that the universe will implode if every single girl doesn't want to scrawl "Mrs. Drew Torres" in her notebook or something?) He was stressed about being ill-prepared for the interview, so Dallas suggested that Drew find someone who gives him all the attention that he needs. Enter Zoe: who conveniently showed up and offered to coach him.
When they got together, Zoe started giving Drew advice like, "Lean forward. Look deep into their eyes. Command the space." And well, things got a lil' intimate. After one obligatorily long stare into eachother's eyes, boom: Drew kissed Zoe. And before we could say "pump the brakes," Zoe told Drew he could kiss her any time. So he continued.
When it finally came time for Drew's interview with Hollingsworth, he barely said "hello" before Mr. H discovered a little love bruise on Drew's neck. Apparently one thing led to another with Zoe and, yep, always good to have a potential employer spot a hickey on your neck. But Drew, being the natural born politician that he apparently was, recovered and landed the job.
Not long after, Drew shared the good news with Zoe and asked her out to celebrate. Somehow, Zoe got Drew to define it as a real date, and it occurred to us that things might be getting serious. But then, he walked by Clare and said "I guess some girls just like sideburns," and three words came to mind: Not. Over. It.
What do you think? Is Drew using Zoe to stroke his ego? Or should we expect #Zrew coming down the pike?
At the end of last episode, moments after they got married, Alli was brutally attacked by Leo. To cover up the fact that her new husband had abused her (for the third time), Alli told her parents she was mugged. And as the investigator tried to gather facts about the incident, Alli made it clear to us that she wasn't ready to face the reality of her situation. She couldn't turn Leo in, so she continued to give them false information. Regardless of the fact that this terrible, terrible thing could have been prevented, how confusing and devastating must it have been for Alli to grapple with truly loving someone who so deeply, and unforgivably, hurt her.
Amidst all of this, Leo made multiple attempts to get in contact with Alli; texts and missed calls started to flood her phone. She finally answered one of his phone calls and told Leo that if he agreed to annul their marriage, she wouldn't go to the cops. Leo, however, vowed that he couldn't and wouldn't live without her. He followed Alli to school, waited for her outside, and stalked her until she finally told both Jenna and Clare the truth about incident.
They immediately insisted she call the cops.
As Alli watched the police handcuff and arrest Leo, it was a moment both triumphant and heartbreaking. She had the courage to bring him to justice, to stand up to her abuser, but you could see the hurt in her eyes as she realized, once and for all, the love of her life was a total stranger. Alli's story painfully but poignantly illustrates the truth about domestic violence: it is a very complex, serious, and real issue. Remember, if you or anyone you know is involved in an abusive relationship, you are not alone. There are resources available, and people who want to help.
Toward the end of the episode, Alli started to get rid of everything in her room that reminded her of Leo, including her engagement ring. Jenna walked in and brought her the annulment papers wrapped in a bow, a belated birthday cupcake, and a much-need reminder that best friends really are the best.
Alright, Degrassians. You've heard our thoughts, now we want yours! What do you think about what you saw? Will Alli find the strength she needs to recover? Will Drew and Zoe become an official thing? Will Zig and Maya continue to butt heads? Sound off in the comments!
In the meantime, here's what's happening next week!
Degrassi Recap: 'The World I Know'Posted on 01/29/2014 by Rachel1016
Last night, we kicked off Degrassi's winter chapter with an unforgettable premiere episode. If you haven't seen "The World I Know" yet, catch up on the full episode online, then check out recap where we break down everything that happened.
At the end of last chapter, Clare and Drew briefly shared a kiss (or, as Drew put it, something in between a make-out and a kiss) that may or may not have signaled a few "OH NO THEY DIDN'T!"s around the world. After the smooch, Drew quickly assumed that Clare was deeply in love with him, obviously.
But as Drew approached Clare to "let her down easy," she didn't quite pick up what he was puttin' down. In fact, she made it clear that the kiss was a terrible mistake, that she's still very much in love with Eli, and that Drew is straight up deluded (no really, she used that word). A little surprised to find Clare not head over-heels-in-love after their lip lock, Drew consulted Dallas, who, in typical Dallas fashion, encouraged Drew to find a rebound girl. Oh, brother. Wonder who that will be? Anyone care to place some bets?
Anyway, while Drew was nursing his bruised ego, he was simultaneously trying to impress Mr. Hollingsworth (Miles' father), who visited Degrassi to deliver a speech about his campaign for mayor. Luckily, Drew was able to charm Mr. Hollingsworth, and scored an interview for the youth advisor of his campaign. Aw, look at that, Drew might slowly be getting his mojo back.
After being suspended from school for threatening Zoe's life (in a song), Maya had to complete her punishment in the Remedial Room, aka the infamous "Rubber Room." Maya wasn't too excited about it to begin with, but things went downhill when newcomer punk girl, Grace, made it clear she thought Maya was a total "princess" with a chip on her shoulder. Ouch! Yeah, Maya might have some trouble fitting in.
The students in the Remedial Room got assigned a character interview project, in which they were paired up and instructed to interview each other, as each other. By some stroke of luck, Maya got paired with her former almost-flame (and total bad-boy) Zig, and *PAUSE* things are about to get interesting.
For the new or rusty Degrassians out there, here's a quick background on Maya and Zig's complicated relationship: In Season 11, Maya had a crush on Zig, but didn't realize her feelings until Zig got back with his then-girlfriend, Tori. Maya eventually moved on with Cam when Zig started to have feelings for Maya again. But when Cam devastatingly took his own life, Zig blamed himself for telling Cam to get out of Maya's life and Maya had serious trouble coping with the loss. When she was finally being able to express her grief, Maya started to have feelings for Zig again, but said she wasn't ready to be in a relationship. Zig told her he would wait for her, and it seemed like they would eventually find their way back to each other. But over the summer, Maya met Miles Hollingsworth III and, you know, #Matlingsworth happened. When Zig came back, though, he made it clear he didn't forget their promise.
When the two sat down to work on their assignment, Zig started to talk about the Roman legend, Brutus, who famously betrayed his friend Caesar, and who, in this case, we're pretty sure represents Maya's forgotten promise. So, Zig is a little hostile! That much we know! But he took it to the next level when it came time to present their assignment: While impersonating Maya, he made fun of her and pretty much laid out their baggage for everyone in the class to see. Maya quickly fired back, and Zig walked out. Oof.
So�does this mean a Zaya comeback is in the works? Should we prepare for one of the most epic love triangles of all Degrassi time?!
Alli was getting ready to celebrate her birthday when she received some bad news from Leo. His transfer credits from France didn't come through, preventing him from obtaining a student visa and ultimately forcing him to the leave the country. Leo, wary of the stress that long distance relationships inevitably cause, insisted that it would be best if they broke up. But Alli, not ready to give up on the man she loves, had a crazy idea: marriage.
Despite Jenna and Clare's caution against making such a hasty decision, Alli and Leo booked it to City Hall to tie the knot. Moments after they became husband and wife, however, Alli and Leo got into an argument about her not telling her parents. Leo became convinced that Alli was ashamed of him and his temper escalated to new, devastating heights.
As they argued in the car, Leo struck Alli multiple times in the head to the point where she fell out of the passenger seat and was left bruised and bleeding on the side of the road.
Alli returned home to a surprise birthday party that Jenna, Clare and her parents threw for her. As she walked in the door, severely injured, they rushed to her with utter shock and concern, and when they asked what happened, Alli lied and claimed she was mugged.
Over the past two chapters, we've watched Alli continue to go back to Leo despite his previous outbursts. Now, the consequences of her choices have reached a truly devastating conclusion. Alli has a long road ahead of her, for sure, but her story is a powerful reminder that relationship abuse is a very serious issue. Abuse is never justified, and it's important to remember that we do have the power to make our own choices. If you or anyone you know is in an abusive relationship, know that you are not alone -- go to loveisrespect.org for help, or call 1.866.331.9474 at any time.
Catch Up On Season 13 Of Degrassi!Posted on 01/22/2014 by Rachel1016
We're gearing up for all-new episodes of Degrassi on Tuesday, January 28th at 9pm ET, and if there's one thing we know about this show, a lot can happen in a short period of time. As much as we wish our real lives didn't get in the way of Degrassi, it can be difficult to, y'know, keep up with everything!
So, before we sit down for a fresh batch of drama, let's take a look at all of the major events that precede this brand new chapter. And while you're catching up on episodes from the summer and fall (check them out right HERE!), here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about Degrassi Season 13 so far!
At the end of last summer, we said goodbye to Degrassi favorite, Adam Torres. Adam passed away from injuries sustained in a fatal car crash, which happened because he was texting and driving.
Not long before the accident, Adam kissed Imogen and felt guilty because he (technically) cheated on his girlfriend, Becky Baker. It was a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, unforgettable episode, but we cherish those memories of Adam's infectious spirit and take away one valuable lesson: No matter what, it can wait.
After getting engaged in Season 12, Bianca returned from University with a change of heart toward Drew. Right before Thanksgiving, she called off both the engagement and the relationship in a breakup that Winston affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) termed a "Turkey Dump."
Since committing to Bianca, it seemed as though Drew had mended his previously questionable ways with women, but we have to wonder if his new single status will find him returning to bad-boy behavior.
While away at New York University, Eli cheated on Clare with Leonor, a girl he met in one of this film classes. *Yes, cue the collective weeping of every Degrassi fan EVER* Clare was unsurprisingly heartbroken, and essentially (but unofficially) broke up with Eli when he returned home for Thanksgiving.
Even though the future of their relationship was unclear, it didn't take long for Clare to ignore her own judgment and kiss Drew (yes, that Drew). And of course, almost immediately after her moment of weakness, Eli gave Clare a heartfelt apology. The good news: Eli and Clare made up. But the bad news: Clare might have to face being the unfaithful one now.
Ah, the hookup we waited for since the first minute of the season premiere. Literally! As Maya walked into Degrassi and got caught off-guard by Miles' dreamy stare, she downright pummeled that trifold. And in that moment, we knew #Mayales was imminent.
They had quite the journey to ship-dom, though, having gone through periods of time when they were either involved with someone else (Miles and Zoe dated for a hot sec), had to honor allegiances to friends (Maya's BFF Tristan had a thing for Miles for a hot sec), remembered old flames (Maya and Zig have history), or just generally butting heads (sexual tension).
But these two finally got together. After Maya got suspended for singing a kiss-off song about her nemesis Zoe, Miles sneaked over to her window and… they kissed! Now we want to see them continue strong through the upcoming winter chapter!
Even though Zoe Rivas was a Degrassi newcomer at the beginning this season, the TV-star-turned-mean-girl wasted no time making quite the first impression among her peers. From laying claim over Miles and being caught in an EPIC feud with Maya, to blackmailing Drew into being her date to the dance, Zoe is pretty much the nucleus of Degrassi drama. She's relentless, she's bold, and she's only just getting started! But will she be able to find her place at Degrassi this season? Or will she just continue to leave a trail of embers in her wake…
Alli met her Parisian boyfriend, Leo during Degrassi's summer trip to France. Their love story was the stuff of fairy tales until… well, it wasn't. Despite being a total smooth operator and making Alli fall for him deeply, Leo's jealousy had a tendency to turn violent.
During a heated conversation about some texts from Dallas, Leo grabbed Alli's arm with enough force to bruise her. After the altercation, Alli left Paris and Leo behind, but he traveled to Degrassi to try to apologize and win her back. He somehow proved to be the charmer she remembered from France, and Alli forgave him for getting physical with her.
But before long, it happened again. And this time he slapped her. In a move that surprised everyone, she forgave him again under the condition that he would go to therapy. It remains to be seen whether or not Leo has really changed this time. Will Alli finally see his true colors? Will there be any chance of Dallas coming into the picture? Or will her story play out tragically like many before her?
We have so many predictions for this upcoming action-packed chapter, but we want to hear from you! What do you all think will happen? Sound off in the comments! And don't forget, all new episodes return Tuesday, January 28th at 9pm ET
Style 101 With Cristine Prosperi: Transition OutfitsPosted on 12/31/2013 by Cristine Prosperi

I hate going from volleyball practice to a friend's house while looking like a slob, but I don't always have time to completely change outfits. Do you have any suggestions for cute transition outfits?
I always have this problem, but with going out after the gym! My suggestion? LEGGINGS. Leggings are fashion's gift to the world. You can go from home, to work out, to the mall and back again with them on. They look clean cut and are comfortable to top it off!
Coming from practice? Pack a cute sweater to change into after and tie your hair back in a neat pony. Spritz a little perfume on and you're ready to go! But ladies, remember…when wearing leggings, always (and I'm talking ALWAYS) wear a longer shirt to cover that booty!
The Top Moments of Degrassi Season 13Posted on 12/31/2013 by Rachel1016
Can you believe how much has already gone down during this season of Degrassi? Our resident Canadian drama kings and queens brought us a half-season chock full of jaw-dropping break-ups, heart-wrenching make-ups, and a few (a few) belly-aching laughs.
We wracked our brains for the season's most memorable moments, so while you wait for a new chapter this January, take a look back at all of the crazy things that have happened so far!
So long, 2013! THX 4 THE MMRS!
Style 101 With Cristine Prosperi: Wouldn't Be Caught Dead In...Posted on 12/24/2013 by Cristine Prosperi
What is one item of clothing or an accessory you would never be caught dead wearing?
Oh wow. I think I could go on for days with this question!!! And I'm not sure that's a good thing! I would never ever ever be caught dead wearing those rubber slippers (CROCS)!!! Although, when we film Degrassi, all the girls wear them in between scenes... Yes they are comfortable! But they are not cute people!! Even on set when someone takes a photo of us, I always take them off for the photo. I cannot stand them!
Another fashion DON'T for me: pajama pants... in public! Why do people still do this?! Throw on a pair of leggings! Come on!
The photo below is one of Imogen's outfits. Can you spot those ugly slippers?

TeenNick Holiday Tree: How To Make Degrassi Ornaments And A Cynthia Tree Topper!Posted on 12/20/2013 by Rachel1016
Throughout the month of December, you crafted along as we added festive decorations to our official TeenNick Holiday Tree! And now that the holidays are right around the corner, we finally have a finished product!
We made final touches to the body of the tree with Degrassi ornaments and topped it off (literally) with a replica of Angelica's iconic Cynthia doll from Rugrats! We want you to take creative control with these crafts, so feel free to add your personal touches, but if you're looking for a little inspiration, check out our ideas below!
Start off with some different colored construction paper, scissors, and glue!
Cut out small photos of your favorite Degrassi characters!
Play around with different colors and shapes. We decided to create a few abstract designs, a snowflake collage, and some snowmen!
And the crowning achievement of our entire holiday tree... Angelica's very special and totally not demented doll, Cynthia! All it took was one Barbie, a little glue, a red Sharpie, and some felt. Isn't she stunning?
We hope you had as much fun as we did creating these silly crafts! From all of us here at TeenNick, have a happy and safe holiday!
Style 101 With Cristine Prosperi: Time To Boot Up!Posted on 12/16/2013 by Cristine Prosperi
There are so many cute styles of boots but I don't know how to pair them with outfits! What types of boots go best with pants vs. skirts and dresses?
I can see how this could get tricky! Lucky for us, there are so many different styles of boots to choose from these days! Boots have become such a staple in people's wardrobes. In my opinion, it's always good to have booties, knee high boots and a motorcycle boot.
I used to be a little frightened about wearing any style of boots with skirts, but these days you can totally pull that off. When wearing a skirt I would probably wear booties with a small heel. Or if it's a little colder outside throw on a pair of leggings and knee high boots. For knee highs, I would suggest getting a tighter boot so they hug your calves!

It's probably a safe bet that Mike Donovan never met Gram Parsons — or Arthur Lee or Donovan Leitch, for that matter. He may not even be inspired by their music. But Sic Alps has plenty of garage psych stirred into its songwriting cauldron, and the act's latest album, Glyphs, has a haunted, late-'60s Laurel Canyon haze and unexpected intensity that makes you think of "Hurdy Gurdy Man," Grievous Angel and Forever Changes. Donovan is apparently no stranger to contemplating deep reaches of the mind that most people prefer to cover over. Seeing Sic Alps live is like looking through a window into another time or place, where being a cult band isn't some cynical marketing ploy.

- Ferns
Ferns are well known for their bright green colors and feathery fronds
Ferns Loves Shady Areas Where They Originate From
Most do best in well-shaded gardens with moist soil, however there are some species that thrive in hot climates, direct sun, and can even take frost. If shade is needed, plant in a shaded garden, or by place your fern under taller plants. If your soil is not naturally well-draining, consider some amendments. Leaf litter compost and peat moss both create the damp, humus-enriched soil ferns love.
Do you want a naturally spreading fern to mimic a forest floor? Consider species such as the lacy, delicate Adiantum venustum, the Himalayan Maidenhair fern, or the Oak fern, Gymnocarpium dryopteris. These plants are naturally spreading and will cover the garden floor. Ground cover gives a lush green appearance, and is also a natural way to help keep your garden soil moist. As a showcase plant, consider colorful species such as the Japanese Painted fern Athyrium niponicum var. 'Pictum', whose leaves are often a silvery green with red highlights. The fronds of the attractive Dryopteris erythrosora, or Shield fern, start out as bright red-orange or pink before turning to a glossy green. These dramatic plants draw the eye, and hold their own in both formal and casual landscape plans.
Ferns do best when planted in the growing season, typically between April and October. Give them plenty of time to acclimate before winter and you'll be treated to many years of their graceful beauty
Christmas fern is an evergreen fern with an average height of 28-32 inches. It's also an evergreen type fern that stays green year round. Sometimes the climates under a zone 4 will make the evergreen not keep it's leaves in harsh winter months. But the foliage will return the following spring. They do best in swampy wet shaded areas. The cinnamon fern is a large fern with a spread of 32-40 inches and a maximum height of around 3.5 feet. It's the largest of most native fern plants and it's a gardeners favorite in shaded flower gardens as a border plant. They also work well in the cleaning of stagnant water near swamps keep down bug and misquitoes. Lady fern is a delicate choice and it's light green foliage makes it an overall good plant to use in flower gardens. The brillianticity gives the blooming flowers an excellent backdrop.
Ferns are good to use in natural areas and as ground covers. They will add lots of bright green color to gardens and other dim areas on a lawn. They work well also in areas that do not receive a lot of sunlight.
Ferns are versatile plants. They do great in shaded areas under trees and in natural areas that will not receive a lot of sunlight to the area. There are a lot of varieties of ferns that look gorgeous when grown and will give a very natural look to areas on a lawn or in a garden.
Ferns are also great to use around decks and patios as they can bring life. The Boston Fern is the most popular for porches and patios. Ferns can be added for that special touch. Ferns need light water to keep them healthy during the hot months of the year. The Boston Fern will look amazing and will give a peaceful look to all porches and patios. The Chain Fern and Painted Fern will also bring color and gorgeous green color that they will provide.
A very unusual fern is the Fiddlehead Fern. It will have long gorgeous green leaves and will produce a stem that will resemble the head of a fiddle. It will be gorgeous and will be unique looking when grown. Ferns add beauty and to cover those terrible bare spots under trees. It will usually be moist and shady under trees and will give ferns the ideal place to grow and thrive.
There are some ferns that will grow to be tall. The Cinnamon Fern can grow to be 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. These ferns are great to plant around water gardens and other bodies of water. Ferns can help control mosquitoes and gnats that come with standing water. The grow well in fully shaded areas but can also do good when the area has partial shade.
There are many varieties of ferns. Soil conditions and sunlight conditions do need to be taken into consideration when looking for ferns. Ferns need climate zones 3-9 to adapt well.

A search for answers in '75 SD reservation murder
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. A long-delayed murder trial may shed light on who ordered the decades-old killing of an American Indian Movement activist who was shot in the head and left to die on South Dakota's Pine Ridge reservation.
John Graham, a Southern Tutchone Indian from Canada and former AIM member, heads to trial on murder charges this week in South Dakota court. Prosecutors allege Graham was one of three AIM activists who kidnapped and killed Annie Mae Aquash because AIM leaders believed she was a government spy.
Aquash's death, which occurred 35 years ago next month, quickly became synonymous with the violent clashes between AIM and federal authorities in the 1970s. One person has been convicted of the murder, and another pleaded guilty this month in connection with her kidnapping.
But one of Aquash's daughters says the real story behind what happened has yet to come out.
"Each time we go to trial, it reveals more of the truth," said Denise Maloney Pictou.
Graham, 55, has maintained his innocence in the killing. His attorney, John Murphy of Rapid City, did not respond to requests for comment. His daughter, Naneek Graham, has declined to comment lately but said in 2007 that Aquash was "a dear friend of his."
Among those who could testify at Graham's trial are Arlo Looking Cloud, who was convicted in 2004 in connection with Aquash's murder and has said Graham pulled the trigger, and Thelma Rios, who pleaded guilty this month to being an accessory to Aquash's kidnapping and received a suspended prison sentence.
Rios was originally to go on trial with Graham. Now, her plea could prove pivotal to Graham's prosecution. In a court hearing this month, Rios said she relayed a message to AIM members in Colorado that Aquash should be taken from Denver to Rapid City, the Rapid City Journal reported. She also acknowledged hearing discussions about whether Aquash should be killed, the Journal reported.
"The fact is, Rios leads to other people," said Paul DeMain, an Indian journalist who has long researched the Aquash case. "(Graham) was a young guy who was a gofer. He wanted to prove himself."
The prosecution's theory, based on court documents and witnesses, is that Graham, Looking Cloud and a third AIM member, Theda Clark, were told in late 1975 to take Aquash from Denver to Rios' apartment in Rapid City. There, she was interrogated by AIM members and allegedly raped by Graham. Aquash was driven to the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations, then killed and left in a ravine, where her body was found in February 1976.
Richard Marshall, a Rapid City man who was accused of providing a .32-caliber pistol to Graham and Clark, was acquitted of murder charges in April. Clark, who is in her 80s and lives in a Nebraska nursing home, has never been charged and refused to testify.
AIM leaders have consistently denied personal involvement in Aquash's death.
Russell Means, an early leader of AIM, has blamed Vernon Bellecourt, another group leader, for ordering the murder. He called Graham and Looking Cloud "the most vulnerable of Indian people."

Everyone is still going nuts about this clip of Chris Weidman wiping his nose with the American flag at UFC 168
This gif wouldn't be up on the front page of MiddleEasy if it weren't for the many of you that sent this clip to us insisting that you were vehemently angry that Weidman wiped his nose with the American flag. In fact I chose not to publish it the night of UFC 168 since we already had an overload of content, but day after day you guys continued to submit this news tip, so we're finally going to publish it on MiddleEasy.
Yeah it sucks that Chris Weidman used the country's flag to wipe his nose shortly after defeating Anderson Silva at UFC 168. I mean, we have to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, right? Or do we? Where the heck is @Ranger_Up and @TimKennedyMMA when you need them? On matters of patriotism and conservative republican ideology, I sort of default to them. They're sort of like FOX News but without the lingering jingoism.
So there you have it, Chris Weidman wiping his nose with the American flag. We're not going to sway your emotions this time -- we're just presenting a historical incident that happened at UFC 168.

He/she gets what you said, but they're pointing out that you didn't have to over-describe your little joke the first time. Then, with sarcasm(which he/she spelled backwards at the end of their third comment).
So, like the naive and humorless person you are, continued to explain the "joke" once again, when everyone already know what you were talking about.
But there was unintentional comedy during your last comment. Hilarious.
Context-via-int ernet always seems to confuse non-critical thinkers.
That's a valid form of humor.
Not only that, but he clearly understood the first comment and again, overtly repeated the joke.
It's ok if you guys didn't get it, some did.
Why are we talking about this?
for the fools who will still get hard on for a flag that doesnt meant shit.. that flag technically belongs to every citizen of the US. he can do whatever he the hell he wants with it.
the man has 2 wins over my favorite fighter ever, the same fighter i openly admit to nuthugging because i think hes that great and i STILL dont give chris weidman as much shit as most people. the man won, respect it and move on.
Nobodys saying shit though
This is just MiddleEasy makin shit up the way the news does cus without trivial shit we dont always have news.
America has enough lazy thinkers.
Damn, so stupid.
Anyone who has a problem with this has never competed; doesn't understand the amount of stress one is under; and doesn't understand what stress does to a person's mentality.
To compete in MMA at any level takes guts, focus and determination.. . everything else flies out the window--not on purpose but because the less important things get squashed in the moment.
Another example is the dude that farted on this same card. Do you think he cares about manners or what you all think of him when he's competing? This happens all the time in training and sparring. Do you think anyone cares or even blinks? No way! Your focus is on the guy on top of you or vice versa. The only people that made a big deal about this were the type of fans that I wish would disappear.
Lastly, is this site turning into TMZ or what???
B: Stop trying to make something out of nothing, maybe that could be Middleeasy's new years resolution?

Bill Fagnant, Furniture Maker
Thank you for visiting my web site. I have been making fine furniture for over 20 years. Furniture that I build is custom made and one of a kind. In my work, I strive to maintain the style and craftsmanship of fine period furniture while building each piece in such a way as to bring out the essence and character of the wood itself.
I have always loved the beautiful, complex grain patterns and colors found in both fine period furniture and also in distinguished modern furniture. Because I do only custom work, I am able to locate and choose small quantities of fine hardwoods that give my customers this distinctive and unusual beauty in the pieces I create for them. I am proud to say that I have made this my trademark.
I encourage you to browse through the website, and while doing so, think of a piece of furniture that you may need or have always wanted.
If you would like to discuss or commission a piece of furniture, please contact me at: 973-635-0093 or email@example.com.

Draft TableMay 31st, 2008
Look, we all know SUVs are gas guzzlers. But once in a while, they sure do come handy when trying to transport furniture to your house.
I rented an SUV a week ago and kept it for a few days. I found this amazing vintage drafting table at an antiques store and bought it on the spot. The funny thing is that when I asked the store's owner about the table, she immediately lowered the price. Fine, I'll buy it.
Then when I had one more question about the table, she said, "why don't you ask the seller yourself?" The seller walked in and said, "I'll drop it another $50." I was like… I said I'll buy it. So, without trying, I got a really crazy low price on this table.
And here it is all set up. I rolled out some old blueprints and threw on an old book. I love it!
Speaking of all thing, I found this handmade wooden table in a junk store in Rosemont, NJ. It was tucked away underneath a bunch of fabrics and I inquired about buying it. For $10, it was mine. It's really the perfect size for the two club chairs from JCPenney. I love the mix and match feel of new upholstery with old, dented up wood furniture. Perfect for a game of chess, checkers or Go Fish!

Heart Disease is a huge global problem, with the World Health Organization calling it an "epidemic" in their Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke and estimating that it claims 17 million lives each year. It is just as prevalent in the US, where the Centers for Disease Control stated in their report, Summary Health Statistics for US Adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2010 that 25 percent of adults were told by medical professionals they suffered from heart disease.
The Mayo Clinic has defined heart disease as a broad term encompassing a range of illnesses that affect your heart: Diseases of your blood vessels, like coronary artery disease; problems related to heart rhythm, also called arrhythmias; heart infections; and heart defects you may have been born with, like congenital heart defects.
Although you cannot help the congenital defects but you can definitely avoid the acquired heart problems.
Symptoms of Heart Disease
Because heart disease is an umbrella for many problems affecting your heart, there are a number of symptoms you should look out for, which may indicate a serious health issue. Some of these may be subtle and vary from person to person, and will often subside after physically or emotionally stressful activities:
- Chest pains or discomfort often caused when your heart is not getting enough blood or oxygen.
- Feeling as if your heart is being squeezed. This also can occur under your breast bone, neck, arms, stomach, or upper back.
- Shortness of breath.
- General physical weakness.
Tips to Prevent Heart Disease
Have you ever been told you can eat, drink, or do anything you want, but in moderation? That is a good piece of advice to live your life by, but especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy heart. Here are some other basic tips to keep your ticker in tip-top shape:
- Avoid smoking or tobacco use – If the carcinogens spare your life, the stress it causes on your heart and vascular system may not.
- Exercise regularly – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends that adults try walking 30 minutes every day.
- Keep your body mass index (BMI) below 24.9. A BMI of 25 is considered overweight, while 30 tags you as obese, and 35 and over is considered morbid obesity.
- Follow a heart friendly meal plan, which includes a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Choose lean protein (fish, chicken, beans) but stay away from salt, saturated fats, and fewer foods derived from animal products. As a rule of thumb, drinking eight to 10 glasses of water each day will not only keep your heart healthy, but flush impurities out of your body that may cause cardiovascular issues.
Maintaining a healthy heart can be challenging, but the reward that it brings in the long run far outweighs the inconveniences of eating a balanced diet and daily exercise – namely, a longer, healthier life.

($90) Deep ruby-red. Vibrant, high-pitched aromas of boysenberry, cassis, violet and sweet, chocolatey oak. Brighter and more sharply delineated than the 2002, with less obvious baby fat; offers a captivating combination of berry, spice and floral flavors. Very stylish, firmly tannic wine with the intensity and structure for 15 years or more of development in bottle.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Very dark crimson. A bit simpler than most and the only one on which I can still smell some oak. Round and full and very gently handled. A real charmer because there is some delicacy there too. Still pretty youthful with those carefully managed tannins just in evidence. Some dried spices ? an Indian market! (LM)Drink Dates: 2009-2018
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
This is a beautiful wine, although more recent vintages may ultimately prove to be even better, particularly the 2007. This blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, from one of NapaâÂ?Â?s prestigious sites on the valley floor tucked behind the town of St. Helena, has a dense blue/purple color and a beautifully sweet nose of spring flowers intermixed with raspberry jam, blueberries and black currants. Some licorice and subtle oak are followed by a quintessentially elegant yet substantial wine with sweet tannins, medium to full body and a seamless texture. Drinkable already, the wine will continue to offer the more elegant, complex, evolved style of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon produced in 2001 for at least another 15-20 years.Drink Dates: 2011-2031
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
This fleshy wine exhibits rich currant, game, herb and cedary notes. Well-focused, plush and complex, the flavors are elegant and graceful through the finish. Nonetheless, it leaves you hoping for a shade more depth and concentration. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,932 cases made.Drink Dates: 2005-2012
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Spottswoode is one of the legends of the valley, producing a steady stream of outstanding wines. This vintage shows why it is one of my favorites. Aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry and cigar box spice. Concentrated yet elegant on the palate with spicy nuances to the black fruit centered flavors. The oak is polished and integrated.Drink Dates: 2006-2021

Have you ever had a dog constantly at your feet? It is a trip hazard and an annoyance. Yesterday as I was preparing dinner in the kitchen Sammy would not go away. She was wandering around the kitchen looking for scraps and bothering me with her persistent desire to have me throw her some food. Finally I got so fed up with it that I looked at Sammy and I said, "Get out of here. Your killing yourself. Don't you get it?"
Sammy waddled out of the room and as she sat staring at me from just beyond the tile floor I had the realization that my words were somewhat prophetic. Sammy doesn't know she's overweight and killing herself by constantly seeking more and more food, she's just doing what she's accustomed to doing. It makes me wonder about all the possible ways I am killing myself spiritually with the things I do and never give a second thought to? Have you ever thought about that?
The tendency of most people is to put life their lives on auto pilot and just go throw the motions with as little resistance as possible. However, this never leads us into intimacy with God. In his book Crazy Love Francis Chan describes it like this,
"If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream. I believe much of the American churchgoing population, while not specifically swimming downstream, is slowly floating away from Christ."

Excellent Quality for the Price! I bought these skates for my 9 year old daughter. They fit perfectly with a little room to spare and I think they helped her skate better because she only fell two times! December 15, 2014
Looks good quality I ordered for a Christmas gift, which has not yet been given. Upon delivery, the skates look of good quality and seem sturdy. The wheels are plastic but, hopefully, will stand up to a 7 year old learning to skate. The ordering process thru Dick?s was fine. I purchased from Dick?s so that the gift can be easily returned (to a store local to the gift receiver). December 12, 2014
Looks great It's a Christmas gift for my granddaughter so she hasn't used them yet. But they look durable and she'll love that they're pink. December 4, 2014
Great price I bought these as a birthday gift for my 11 year old daughter. She loves them! Very happy with the purchase. November 12, 2014
Great purchase Purchased a pair for our 6 and 8 year old daughters. Comfortable and stylish. The girls love these skates. October 12, 2014
Girls Skates My granddaughter loves these. I purchased these as a birthday gift and it arrived on time. September 13, 2014

We did order one size up just incase they ran small and so she can wear them longer. Easy to order, easy to find online, free and fast shipping. She loooves them! March 26, 2014

Mormonism Unveiled: Testimonies of Nahum Howard and Oliver Smith
Nahum Howard
Conneaut, August, 1833
I first became acquainted with Solomon Spalding, in Dec, 1810. After that time I frequently saw him at his house, and also at my house. I once in conversation with him expressed a surprise at not having any account of the inhabitance once in this country, who erected the old forts, mounds, &c. He then told me that he was writing a history of that race of people; and afterwards frequently showed me his writings, which I read. I have lately read the Book of Mormon, and believe it to be the same as Spalding wrote, except the religious part. He told me that he intended to get his writings published in Pittsburgh, and he thought that in one century from that time, it would believed as much as any other history.
Oliver Smith
Conneaut, August, 1833
When Solomon Spalding first came to this place, he purchased a tract of land, surveyed it out and commenced selling it. While engaged in this business, he boarded at my house, in all nearly six months. All his leisure hours were occupied in writing a historical novel, founded upon the first settlers of this country. He said he intended to trace their journey from Jerusalem, by land and sea, till their arrival in America, give an account of their arts, sciences, civilization, wars and contentions. In this way, he would give a satisfactory account of all the old mounds, so common to this country. During the time he was at my house, I read and heard read one hundred pages or more. Nephi and Lehi were by him represented as leading characters, when they first started for America. Their main object was to escape the judgments which they supposed were coming upon the old world. But no religious matter was introduced, as I now recollect. Just before he left this place, Spalding sent for me to call on him, which I did.--He then said, that although he was in my debt, he intended to leave the country, and hoped I would not prevent him, for, says he, you know I have been writing the history of the first settlement of America, and I intend to go to Pittsburgh, and there live a retired life, till I have completed the work, which will enable me to return and pay off all my debts--the book, you know will sell, as every one is anxious to learn something upon that subject. This was the last I heard of Spalding or his book, until the Book of Mormon came into the neighborhood. When I heard the historical part of it related, I at once said it was the writings of old Solomon Spalding. Soon after, I obtained the book, and on reading it, found much of it the same as Spalding had written, more than twenty years before.

Today, one could talk to 100 parents about things to talk to teens about and probably receive 100 topics, all well-meaning and appropriate. But there are five that seem to stand out that parents need to spend a bit more time on as their children grow up and especially when their children reach the teen ages: relationships, respect of self and others, learning, financial habits and values.

It is freezing outside! Below 30F here in NYC and I can't think of anything better to keep me warm than Glühwein, a German-style mulled wine. One of my favorite recipes of 2011, see the original recipe with updated images below.
Christkindl markets, or German Christmas markets, are street markets with various stalls celebrating Christmas time. Glühwein, literally "glow wine" or German mulled wine, is served at special stands at Christkindl markets throughout Germany and Austria. Mulled wine is a traditional warm beverage combined with different spices, red wine, citrus fruits and sugar. It fills your house with a wonderful aroma and warms you up on a cold winter night. Serve this festive drink during your holiday party!
For the wine, I used a Cabernet Franc, but any dry red wine should work just fine. I first made a sweet syrup using citrus fruits, spices like cloves, cinnamon and a vanilla bean. This way the flavors can infuse without burning off the alcohol of which is added towards the end instead. Depending on how strong you want your Glühwein, add liquor like rum or brandy along with the wine. For a lighter version you can also add the wine earlier along with all the spices.
Glühwein – Mulled Wine Recipe
- 1 bottle of bold dry red wine (I used a Cabernet Franc)
- 1/2 cup of brandy or rum (optional)
- 1 cup water
- 1 large orange, peeled then juiced
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 lime, peeled (optional)
- 1/2 cup agave syrup or sugar
- 5-6 whole cloves
- 1 nutmeg, about 10 gratings
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 vanilla bean, halved
- 2 star anise
Peel large sections of skin from orange, lemon and lime. Over medium heat in a medium sized pot, pour in agave syrup and water, then add the peels and juice of the orange. Add the vanilla bean, cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg gratings. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about an hour. The liquid will reduce, so after around 30 minutes, add in about a half cup of wine. This allows the flavors to infuse and will create a syrup.
When your syrup is ready turn the heat down to low and pour in the bottle of wine and brandy. Bring back to a gentle simmer and heat for about 5 minutes or depending on how much alcohol you want to burn off you can simmer a bit longer. Ladle it into glasses and serve warm.
Total Time: 60-90 minutes
Yield: Makes 4-6 Glasses

25 Responses to "Glühwein – German Mulled Wine"
Silly memory, several years ago when I was an older teenager, I knocked over a bottle of wine in our laundry room (wine rack is in there). Of course, it broke and spilled all over. Mom helped me clean it up but the reason I remember is it smelled SO good. A couple years ago, I spotted the same bottle in the liquor store. As you prob ably guessed, it was Glühwein. Snatched that right up and I've been in love since. It warms you so nicely and the wine just smells like the holidays somehow.
Now this…. I absolutely must try making it from scratch now! Thank you for posting
I'm going to try this for my Christmas party tomorrow. Would you double all of the recipe if you want to have two bottles worth of wine?
Hey nice recipe. It's Christkindlmarkt actualy and it's only Glühwein as long as there is only wine in it if you ad something stronger it becomes Punsch^^ (This has also to do with the fact that you are allowed wine and beer at age 16 in austria but nothing stronger)
I usually make my mothers recipe but I'll try adding some vanilla the nexttime that sounds tasty.
This was absolutely delicious. I didn't cook it quite as long as it says, but it tasted just the way it did at the German christmas market!
For how long can you store the left over gluhwein?
I made this last night. Sounded good since the weather has turned a little cool for now. It tasted great and made the house smell like I was baking something like a spice cake. This will definitely be a "go-to" cold weather drink in our house! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I use apple cider & honey, rather than sugar. It makes a great gift in mason jars with a ribbon & gift tag.
We have a recent egg allergy in the family, and this is going to be the perfect holiday beverage to replace my egg nog. When I was in Switzerland at the Christmas markets, Gluhwein made me so very happy. Any time I drink it now, it takes me right back to the magical, storybook Christmas town.
First time we tried this wss at Berlin Zoo when it was freezing cold back in the 90's? it lept us warm walking around x we have it every year, tastes nicer than mulled wine,!!
Is the mulled wine recipe the same as the ones served in Belgium during Christmas?

Aldermen pleased with turnout at organics open house
By: Matt Durnan
| Posted: Thursday, Mar 20, 2014 01:28 pm
If the number of residents who attended the second of three City-run open houses is any indication, there is a still a level of apprehension among Airdrie residents when it comes to the new curbside organics pick-up program.
Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown rolled out the first of more than 14,000 green bins on March 10 in advance of the program's introduction in April.
City staff hosted the second of three open houses on March 13 at City Hall to shed some light on the program and clear up any misinformation that may still be circulating.
More than 100 residents packed council chambers to hear a presentation from Waste and Recycling Education Coordinator Paul Lyons and Kathleen Muretti, who manages the department.
Concerns and questions raised by residents did not differ significantly from the last open house that was much more sparsely attended at Bert Church Theatre on Feb. 27.
Dale Arnason, a resident of Jensen Heights, has attended both open houses and spoken out against the program's implementation.
"The education on the program should've been done before it was implemented," said Arnason, who feels the City has been misleading when promoting curbside organics pick-up. "This isn't an Airdrie program, it's a single-family dwelling program; it's not available to people living in condos or apartments, is the City saying that those people eat less?"
Residents remained inquisitive about what can and can't be put in the green organics bin, as well as the size of the bin and whether or not there would be space on the road when they put it out.
Those in attendance also brought up the monthly cost associated with the program of $3.95 per month (because of the April start), slated to be $4.54 per month next year, and Muretti repeated that in the long term, organics recycling is a feasible solution that will reduce landfill costs for the City.
"The costs to send waste to landfills continues to rise," said Muretti.
"Currently, the cost to send organic waste to an organics facility is about half of what it costs at a landfill and as these facilities start to be more widely used, it will create a competition, which will keep prices stable if not drive them down."
The current price for waste sent to landfills is $107 per metric ton, while the price for organics is $55 per ton.
Arnason said he was unhappy with having to pay for a program that he doesn't see himself using.
"I'm not against recycling, but this is something I don't need and won't use," he said. "It would take me six months to fill up that green monstrosity."
Muretti also explained the reasoning behind contracting a company to pick up residents' organics rather than having everything done in-house.
"These facilities need materials to function," said Muretti. "We simply just don't produce enough organic waste to operate our own facility."
A strong contingent of City council was on-hand for the meeting, with all council members but Alderman Allan Hunter and Mayor Peter Brown in attendance.
The aldermen commended the work done by Muretti and Lyons in educating residents.
"Our staff did a great job presenting, it was nice to see such a great turn out and that people came here with their concerns and I think our staff was able to address those concerns and provide the answers that people were looking for," said Deputy Mayor Ron Chapman.
Alderman Fred Burley, who participated in the pilot project for curbside organics pick-up last summer, echoed Chapman's statements.
"It's always good to see that people are taking interest in what's going on in the city," said Burley. "There were some concerns coming in, but I think that a lot of people here left happy."
The general consensus among the aldermen in attendance was that they could see residents slowly warming up to the idea of a curbside organics program.
"Airdrie residents as a whole have always been very conscious when it comes to waste diversion," said Alderman Kelly Hegg. "I think it's just that this is something new that will take a bit of getting used to, but it shouldn't worry anyone."
Alderman Darrell Belyk stood in agreement with Hegg, saying there would be some growing pains associated with the program but overall it was a positive for Airdrie.
"In a growing city like ours we have to be looking for ways to reduce our waste and be environmentally conscious," said Belyk. "This program will take some getting used to, but in a matter of a year or two, it will just become part of the city's culture."
Alderman Candice Kolson admitted that she was slightly skeptical of the program at first but commended the work of Muretti and Lyons for making her feel more at ease.
"At first I thought it was kind of gross, I didn't want to have food scraps around and I was worried it would smell bad," said Kolson. "Once Kathleen explained to me how everything works, plus the savings and benefits to the environment it's really a no brainer, so I've been teaching my kids about it and they're excited..."
The last of the three organics pick-up presentations will be held at Bert Church Theatre on April 9 at 7 p.m.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks trade Joe Thatcher, Tony Campana to Angels for two prospects
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Angels have agreed upon a trade, the D-backs announced Saturday morning.
The deal has relief pitcher Joe Thatcher and outfielder Tony Campana heading to L.A. in exchange for minor leaguers Zach Borenstein and Joey Krehbiel.
Thatcher arrived in Arizona via San Diego midway through the 2013 season. The 32-year-old left-handed reliever had 37 appearances with the Diamondbacks so far in 2014, boasting a 2.63 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 24.0 innings pitched.
Campana, a left-handed hitter, had 60 at-bats with the D-backs in 2014, hitting just .150 with one double, one triple and three RBI.
The trade has the Diamondbacks receiving a right-handed pitcher and a left-handed hitting outfielder from the minor leagues.
Krehbiel, a 6-foot-2 reliever, pitched in 17 games for a Class-A and a Class-A Advanced club in the Angels' farm system this season. The 21-year-old struck out 23 batters and had a 2.00 ERA with five saves in 18.0 innings pitched.
Borenstein, a 6-foot, 225-pound leftfielder, has appeared in 78 games between the Angels' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates in 2014. For the Salt Lake Bees of the Pacific Coast League, the 23-year-old Borenstein batted .256 with two home runs and 22 RBI in 117 at-bats.
In addition to the trade Saturday, the Diamondbacks recalled left-handed relief pitcher Eury De La Rosa from Triple-A Reno, who has appeared in 19 games so far for the D-backs in 2014.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's most loyal supporters here say they have a new reason to back the man who dashed her presidential hopes: They want Sen. Barack Obama to appoint her to the U.S. Supreme Court if he wins the White House.
"I would have liked to see her win, but I'm not wistful," said Grace Block, 77. "We'd love to see her on the Supreme Court if he would ask her."
Voters attending Mrs. Clinton's homecoming rally, a campaign event for her one-time rival, said they will now back Mr. Obama, and most of them, unprompted, told The Washington Times they want him to choose their former first lady for the high court.
"Having her on the Supreme Court would help us a lot. She could make sure we cement Roe v. Wade," said Judi Woods, a Little Rock supporter who campaigned for Mrs. Clinton across the country during the prolonged primary.
