KG welcomes rookies to Celtics with nicknamesBy JIMMY GOLEN
The Associated Press | October 13,2012AP Photo
Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett walks on the court during practice in Waltham, Mass.WALTHAM, Mass. Jared Sullinger is Sully.
Dionte Christmas is Temple, because thats where he went to college.
And Kevin Garnett calls Fab Melo is Melo because I dont like really calling a man Fab.
The Boston Celtics rookies are getting nicknames, compliments of the man himself known as KG and The Big Ticket. Garnett went out of his way on Friday to make it clear that hes doing it to be affectionate and not because, like many veterans throughout basketball and other sports, he cant be troubled to learn their real names.
My personal connection is a nickname. Im not disrespecting people by not knowing their names, Garnett said. Some people dont even talk to rookies.
The Celtics are still loaded with aging veterans, relying heavily on Garnett and Paul Pierce along with new additions Jason Terry and Jason Collins. But the leadership in the process of passing to 26-year-old point guard Rajon Rondo, and this years crop of rookies could be the most productive since 2004, when Doc Rivers was himself in his first year with the team.
Sullinger and Melo were first-round draft picks, with Kris Joseph coming in the second round. (Garnett calls Joseph Shawn, Christmas said, because he reminds him of someone named Shawn.)
Most of the time, its just Youngun, Sullinger said. Knowing that hes an NBA dinosaur, youve got to understand that being a youngun is a good thing.
Christmas was a 2009 draft choice of the Philadelphia 76ers who played in Europe the past three seasons and would be happy to be called anything by Garnett or any of the Celtics once the final roster cuts are made. For him to recognize me, for him to put an interest in me as a teammate, its definitely humbling, Christmas said.
Sullinger is also enjoying his time with his new mentor. Garnett has been running a sort of big-man camp within training camp, coach Doc Rivers said, and the 2004 NBA MVP has been passing along what he knows to Sullinger and Collins as well as returnees Chris Wilcox and Brandon Bass.
Im a big fan of veterans ... teaching some of the young guys on work ethics, earning what you get, not just riding off potential, Garnett said. Ive always been a big fan of veterans doing that.
The Celtics returned this week from exhibitions in Milan and Istanbul and will meet the New York Knicks on Saturday night in Hartford, Conn. their first practice game against NBA opponents.
Sullinger is trying to soak it all up.
Being a rookie, you always have to pay homage to the veterans, he said. You come in, youve got to have a closed mouth and you play basketball.MORE IN Wire SportsMEMPHIS, Tenn.

12 year old daugher wants to date 15 year old
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-25-2014 - 6:06pm
What am I going to do with my daugher? She just turned 12 in May. The boy she likes will be 16 this fall.
At the end of May I told her No to dating him. She said okay and asked if they could be friends. I didn't think it would hurt so I said ok. Two weeks later, he is always around and I am told that they have become very touchy-feely with each other in public when out with friends. So at this point I sat both of them down, my daughter as well as the boy, and told them again that they could not date. I get the Okay from both of them. At this point I am not so naive as to think they are listening so I put a rule in place that they have to be with a group of people or in the living room of my home if they want to hang out. They say okay.
My daughter comes to me today and tells me that she has been lying to me and that they have been dating for weeks and she loves him. I told her she will not see him again.
On top off all this I find out she has been taking bad pictures on her phone. I fould them a few days ago when looking thru it. I don't think she sent them to anyone but She has had her phone taken away since then. I am worried and I don't know what to do
I told her she could not date him because of the age difference. I tried to explain about majurity levels and different things. We had the birds and bees discussion as well. All I get from her is that she loves him. He is the only one for her. She will die without him.
|Wed, 06-25-2014 - 9:30pm
What if your 12 year old wanted to drink a fith of vodka? Would you dither like this? She's TWELVE. She doesn't get to make demands about boys, dating or how late she stays up at night!!!
How is it that she is able to lie to you? How is she able to send "bad pictures"? How does she see him? Talk to him? Supervise your child. Hire a babysitter if you must. You want her to stop lying, sneaking, and disrespecting you? Then you need to get control of her. Take away ALL internet, cell and land line devices. Give her a list of chores as long as her arm, and tell her this is what she does when you are not home. Tell her she doesn't leave the house unless you or a responsible adult accompany her.
Stop letting the boy come to your house. Tell him, AND HIS PARENTS, that if he comes near your CHILD again, you will call the police and have an order of protection placed against him. Tell them you are taking your dr to a gyne, and if she had sex, you will press charges of statutory rape. THEN DO IT.
Forget the birds and bees. She needs to hear about sexually transmitted diseases. She needs a complete gyne exam, and have the GYNE explain STD's. Get her the HPV vaccination, and put her on Depo, or something that she can't "forget".
"...among U.S. high school students surveyed in 2013...
- 46.8% had had sexual intercourse
- 34.0% had had sexual intercourse during the previous 3 months, and, of these
- 40.9% did not use a condom the last time they had sex
- 15.0% had had sex with four or more people during their life
Sexual risk behaviors place adolescents at risk for HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unintended pregnancy:
- An estimated 8,300 young people aged 13–24 years in the 40 states reporting to CDC had HIV infection in 2009
- Young people age 15 to 24 account for 50 percent (10 MILLION PER YEAR) of all new STIs, although they represent just 25 percent of the sexually experienced population.
- Roughly 75 percent of all reported gonorrhea is found in people age 15 to 29, with the highest infection rates found in teen girls age 15 to 19 and 20 to 24-year-old men
- The annual number of new infections is HIGHER among teen girls (51 percent) than teen boys (49 percent).
- More than 400,000 teen girls aged 15–19 years gave birth in 2009
Cervical cancer kills more women every year than any other cancer, and every single case is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). With the current rate of infection, 80% of all people will contract HPV --30% of women during their FIRST sexual encounter.
Bear in mind, that to our shame, the U.S. has the highest rate of STD infection in the industrialized world.

Welcome to our corner of the village.
Where I come from: Hubby and I live with our two daughters, their husbands, three grandsons under four years old, via the younger couple. The couples are 21 and 22, and have been married 4 years last march. We met the boys when they came to pick up our daughters for a junior high Halloween dance when they were in 7th and 8th grades. They were all seniors in high school, and all six parents were planning the wedding, when the younger couple oopsed on the birth control and were in a family way. The parents don't have green teeth and all six have bachelor's degrees and three have post grad degrees. Things look good, the couples are ahead of the pack education wise, they each work two days a week, and attend evening classes while the grandparents watch the little brothers, but teen marriages are risky.
I used to use the term "hanging together" instead of "dating." The basic definition of "a date" is a couple doing things together. "Hanging together" is a group of teens doing things together. Our couples were dating, not hanging together. Dating leads to coupling up and marriage. Did I mention that teen marriages are risky and yes all six parents worry about those out years.
My point is that I am on the liberal side of teen romances, which some would call permissive or flat out stupid.
My observations about your situation and some thoughts:
Four years difference between 12 and 16 is gigantic and dating SHOULD NOT be allowed; most especially one-on-one alone. Even 16 and 20 is a stretch.
I'm not even that liberal, permissive, or stupid.
That age gap is a bit strange from the guy's point of view, but I have known of a few of those types of gaps that worked out later when they were both older. Maybe he is the right guy at a later time.
If necessary, my guess is that child protective services can chill this romance with a simple conversation with the boy and his parents about the age difference issue.
Every state has statutory rape laws and as Sabrtooth stated the boy and his parents need to be well advised—WARNED—that this age gap is in the jail bait zone—BIG TIME! I'll bet this is true for ages 16 and 12 in only about 50 of the 50 states. Some of these states, Georgia and Ohio come to mind, have/had laws that put boys over 16, who received oral from a 15 year old, in prison. If I understand correctly, in our state, boys over 15, who get girls pregnant that are more than two years younger, can be prosecuted. The doctors, hospitals, and abortion clinics are all required to inform child protective services when the girl is pregnant and under 15. And the parents of the child can be compelled to give the name of the boyfriend.
Trying to explain maturity issues to a teen—most especially to a "twelve-teen"--is a bit like trying to drive a car to Hawaii—impossible.
This is one of those "because I am the parent and I said so" type situations.
As the old joke put it, "Who's running the asylum here?" The parents should be.
As for enforcing the rules at your home, I don't know if dad is in the home, if you are a stay at home mom, etcetera. You don't leave a rule breaking 12 year old at home unattended by an adult and a sibling under 30 is not an adult for this purpose. At the office where I work, we are given flexibility as to when we take lunch. When necessary for supervision reasons, some parents are allowed to use that flexibility to pick their older kid up at school and the kid is allowed to quietly sit in the lunch room and do homework, play hand held video games, play cards with the other inmates, etcetera, until the parent finishes work. That may or may not be an option for you or her dad.
In my view, phones are a privilege even if she is paying ALL the costs for it. She broke either the express rules or implied rules for having the phone privilege when she snapped the pictures. Turn off service to the phone and pay the cancellation fee. Put the phone in a drawer at work or get a friend or family member to keep it at their home. I would not sell or give a phone with those kinds of pictures to anybody for fear that even deleted pictures and texts might be undeleted. At some distant future time, you might restore phone privileges, but only with the understanding that they are privileges and conditioned upon the rules being followed—all household rules, not just the phone rules.
I would also cut off internet services by taking the modem with me to work and password locking the computer, which I personally have no clue how to do. I would also lock up the digital cameras, I-pod, tablets, book readers as they have cameras and communication capacities and a nearby friend can give her the wireless code to use their internet service and, believe it or not, lots of people leave those unlocked. For us this would be simple as hubby has a gun safe that I don't even have the combination to and he only opens it once a year when he goes deer hunting.
If you want her to have emergency phone service, get her an H20wirelessnow.com pay as you go dumb phone that has no camera or internet. A one year contract that comes with 2,000 minutes is $100 per year. The unused minutes roll over to the next year. I just started my third year and have an account with a $230 balance. It works on the ATT system coast to coast and ATT phones of all types will work on it. I buy cheap dumb phones on sale for $10 at Fry's Electronics or Best Buy, they last about eighteen months, and you don't need insurance on a $10 phone. If you purchase three phones, as I did, you have the replacement phone when you need it and extra batteries to pop in.
I have been told that some of these phone companies have phones that only dial approved numbers and 911, but I know little about such. That may be an option you want to pursue.
And no she cannot go out with friends on the weekend because she broke the rules and lied about it. Privileges are dependent upon trust.
She is at the right age for you to get control of the asylum. The older she gets the more difficult it becomes to get control.
There is a Garth Brooks signature song, Unanswered Prayers, which addresses the "only one for me" issue very well. You can probably pull it up on youtube and the lyrics by googling it. It's the story of a guy who runs into his old high school flame at a hometown game that he prayed for GOD to make his for all time and then looking at his wife realized the blessing of unanswered prayers.

I think it's time to sit down with your dd and talk about rules of the house, and what happens if they're broken. Do you have an age where you'd be ok with her dating? (for us it was 16 unless it was in groups that weren't paired off - ds was fine with that as he didn't start dating til about that time) And ITA with Kimmy that she does not HAVE to have a phone. I know many kids do, but I also agree that it doesn't have to have a camera or texting or data if its main goal is to provide a means to contact you. Have her hand it to you when she gets home. Set the rules (including age differences for dating) and the punishments for not abiding by them so there are no surprises on either side and stick to them; she's young enough to still need serious guidance, especially just going into the early teens. JMHO.
|Thu, 06-26-2014 - 1:28pm
I think you're just going to have to ignore the drama, crying and "I hate you" that is going to be inevitable for a while. I don't like dating at 12 even if the boy is 12. If kids are going on one-on-one dates at 12, there's not much to look forward to when they get older. I'd at least wait til high school. Now a 3-4 yr age difference at that age is huge, as you already said. Even when I went to high school, I remembered thinking that the seniors seemed so old! When you say they hang out with friends, I wonder--whose friends are they? I can't imagine the older boy wanting to hang out with "little kids" who have many more restrictions. If they are his age, then I think there would be a lot of pressure for your DD to act older to keep up with them. Not that all 15 yr old kids are drinking, smoking & having sex, but I'm sure more kids are doing that at 15 than at 12. I think she must be a little conflicted about this because otherwise she wouldn't have told you she was lying.
Unfortunately you will have to clamp down now if you want to keep them apart. I definitely agree with taking away the cell phone--even if you get her one with no camera, it will enable her to talk to the boy when you aren't around. I remember telling my son about the danger of having nude pics on a phone, even if he was just passing them around, that he could be charged with child pornography--he was pretty surprised about that. The fact that she would even consider doing this is alarming to me--do you know of many 12 yr old kids who are already thinking about taking racy pics? I'd think at that age, holding someone's hand would be a big deal and you still have those school dances where all the boys stand on one side and all the girls stand on the other side and they basically do line dancing and stuff where they don't have to touch--I really hope the grinding type dances don't start that early.
Now the big problem is keeping her from doing something stupid. If you have to put her in camp all day or hire someone to stay with her while you're at work, unfortunately you'll have to do it. I surely dont' trust leaving her alone in the house all day. And her social life will be similarly restricted--have her girlfriends come over or she can go to their house if you can trust the parents not to let them out, or they can go somewhere if there is parental supervision. Like you can drive them to the movies and stay there but not sit with them and follow from a distance--at least then she won't get the idea that she can make a plan to meet up with him.
|Thu, 06-26-2014 - 10:25pm
Its great that you are trying to talk logic with her but at 12 she probably isn't really taking it in....so you're getting the "but I love him" stuff. I agree with what the other ladies have told you. I suggest researching the laws regarding minors/sex/statutory rape etc for your area before you call the meeting with the boys parents. If he could be charged with a crime it would probably be a strong incentive for him to want to keep away from her regardless of what she wants. If he doesn't get it hopefully his parents can impress him with the severity.
I also agree that she needs supervision at all times until she grows up some. Is she about to start Jr High? I hate to say it but I think my dd found more trouble in Jr Hi than in HS. Kids that were supervised in afterschool daycare through 6th grade suddenly have hours of freedom and little self control. Kids going to homes where the parents are at work, to drink, do drugs, have sex, etc. Even going to homes where a parent is present, parents have different ideas of what constitutes "supervision" and sometimes its pretty lax, so you need to be careful about that. Your dd has shown you that you cannot trust her, and while she is earning back some trust you need to be vigilant.
As for seeing a doctor, I suggest trying to find a specialist in Adolescent Medicine. They are like internists but they understand the specific issues of teens, lots of emphasis on safe sex and the dangers of drugs etc, and typically can establish rapport with a teen better than a pediatrician (pediatricians often don't do pelvic exams or prescribe birth control).
|Fri, 06-27-2014 - 1:27pm
Hi and welcome to the board. I agree with the others that 12 is too young to be 'dating'. In fact it was when my boys were 9 and 12 that I quit my full time job at a Fortune 100 company to stay home with them. They were getting too old for summer sitters but I didn't wan tthem to have too much time on their hands. How did your dd meet this boy? I'm guessing she's in 6th or 7th grade and he's probably a sophomore in high school? Since at this point your dd can't be trusted to make mature decisions (as most kids can't at age 12) you'll have to be the 'bad guy' and make sure she's supervised at all times. It's probably a bit late to sign her up for day camps. If you work outside the home you might need to arrange for a sitter to come in or perhaps there's a young mom in the neighborhood that could use a 'mothers helper'. I'm sure she'll rant and rave and claim to hate you; welcome to the world of teens - you'll hear that a lot over the years. Just as she'll likely be 'in love' many more times over the next years. Hang in there, let her rant, by sympathetic but stand firm. If it's meant to be they'll find each other in 5 or 6 years when the age difference isn't quite as much of an issue. Keep us posted!
|Sun, 06-29-2014 - 10:09am
Obviously, you know this is a bad idea. The question is really how to handle it. I wanted to suggest that you NOT dismiss her feelings. This doesn't mean you let her date... it just means you accept she feels that she is in love and saying things like "you are too young" and "you don't know what love is" will not help your cause. However, she's 12. He's 15. It's inappropriate for them to be together at this time.
If she's doing questionable things with her phone, take it away. She'll be angry but she'll be safer and less likely to make a young mistake that could follow her around for years (like sending a provocative photo to an older boy who likes to share with the world. I had to take my DD's phone away at nights when she was 14 because she couldn't control her late night texting. She was upset at first but man, a few weeks of actual SLEEP at night not to mention a few weeks off of the depressing friends who just wanted to suck her dry of compassion made her a really different person!
How much supervision is she getting? Does she come home alone after school? Does she have interest based activities? Sports, theatre, art, music, charity work, ect? If not, it might be time for her to connect with some different sorts of people and have something productive to do with her time outside of school.
|Sun, 06-29-2014 - 9:21pm
omg, silverhawser, I just went through this exact thing with my own dd, and let me tell you something, you need to put a complete stop to this ASAP. Ground her, take away the cell phone, whatever it takes. You put a middle school girl with a high school boy and you think they are not going to experiment? You already said they were 'touchy-feely' with each other, and that is just what you HEARD. 'Touchy-feely' quickly leads to something more with all those hormones racing, and if you are not firm about this it can lead to something really BAD, like it did with my dd, although it could have been much worse.
In my case, it was almost the exact same circumstances, age difference and birthdates, the only difference is that they were both a year younger, so don't think it can't happen to you. My dd just turned 11 last month and will be starting middle school this fall (6th grade), and the boy who was the 'love of her life' is 14 going on 15 in October and will be starting high school this fall (9th grade). I probably wouldn't have allowed it from the beginning, but they seemed to be much closer in age. He is very small physically and acts immature, I thought he was like 12. When I found out he was going on 15 and starting high school already I was like 'omg!!!'. dd was still 10 at that time! But he seemed so nice and by that time she was completely obsessed with him, so I allowed it --- but only with very strict rules. And his mother felt the same way. No 'making out', petting, etc, with as much supervision as possible. But surely you can see how unrealistic this is. I would keep coming home from work and catching them in the hot tub making out, with my dd in her underwear, which I'm sure she did intentionally so that once she got wet she might as well be naked. I drained the hot tub but of course with me having to work eventually one thing led to another, and we found out that she was giving him hand jobs and oral sex. Of course, that ended the two of them being allow to see each other, but just think what could have happened?
And don't think that your dd is the only one in danger in this kind of inappropriate relationship. Even though I liked this boy and he seems nice, the police decided to charge this boy in spite of my wishes and he is in BIG trouble with the law. Over 3 years age difference is statutory rape even if it is not actual intercourse in my state, yours may be different. But like your dd mine sexted him a bunch of pics from her phone, and he also got charged with that because he had possession of them. And she wasn't even naked, she was in underwear and a thong bikini, but nothing actually showing. And they are charging him as an ADULT (I don't know how they can do that) so he could be locked up for a long time and will probably be labeled as a sex offender for LIFE.
So, please, please, do what is best for both your dd AND this boy and stop it, completely and immediately!

Late to the party, but wanted to chime in.
"What am I going to do?" you ask. I am not going to repeat everything everyone has already shared. Just going to throw out some food for thought.
I think ultimately we have to follow our gut as parents. It is so hard to know sometimes where that line is. It is unfortunate that the law focuses so much on age, (like something magically happens to your common sense and maturity on your 16th or 18th birthday) but it is just how it is.
Point being, I get how in the beginning it didn't seem like a big deal. The last posters story is really unfortunate.
I will be very honest here. Forbiding can often push the kids out or right into the arms of the boy. Yes, even at 12.
Which brings me back to following your gut.
Clearly you have some common sense and can see this isn't a good idea. But I also know that nurture only gets you so far and you can't always fight nature.
I am not saying I necessarily disagree with the other posters, I just wanted to throw out some perspective and hope you are not beating yourself up over this.
I had amazing parents, but I still found a way to drink, do drugs, see boys, etc. And I had a stay-at-home mom and my parents did not drink, smoke, or do any kind of drugs. And this was before computers and cell phones.
(((((((hugs))))))) and take care. I hope we get to hear an update.

Dear Silverhawkser, Barbweston38, and any other regulars or lurkers with young teens and below,
On the news was the story of some researcher that showed that young girls who sext are more likely to become sexually active earlier. Well Duh, to me that is a no brainer. Girls with boys in their head often get with them in bed. And I would guess earlier than their friends do.
Restating what Sabrtooth said above, two things which every child, both boys and girls, should get or have before they become sexually active are:
Hepatitis B shot
The Gardasil series of three shots for HPV, which leads to Cervical Cancer (Guys also so that they don't infect their future wives and unintentionally kill them.)
This should be done at like ten-teen, eleven-teen or twelve-teen before they become active. Pediatricians generally do these or if money is short call around as many public health agencies do it on a sliding scale. Your child's life may depend upon it. For those who think it might encourage sex, it won't! No kid thinks about such when they decide to have sex.
Also, if your daughter needs to be on birth control for pregnancy protection—JUST DO IT! As Rose, who used to post here, put it to a parent who did not want to put her daughter on birth control (BC), "There is something worse that having a 15 year old daughter on BC and that is having a pregnant 15 year old." Abortion is NOT a good choice as an alternative to preventing it with BC. Also, select a birth control that the kid is not so likely to screw up on by forgetting the pill or the nuva ring coming out and being found several days later in the laundry. (The user is supposed to do a daily check to make sure the nuva ring has not slipped out.)
Our daughters needed the pill for period regulation at about 12, and the pediatrician recommended that it was time for the girls to go to an OBgyn, so I took them to mine, a female, who, along with her assistant, has been a wonderful friend to all of us. The grandsons go to that pediatrician. The girls did check with Planned Parenthood when they decided to have sex to make sure they were taking it correctly for that purpose, but after upgrading youngest couple gave us our "lost in the sheets nuva ring grandson."
Even before the SILs came into our lives, I always made sure I knew the parents of the kids that ours played with around the neighborhood and school. So doing that with the guys parents was natural and they were doing the same looking back at us. I think when you discuss things with the boy's parents that will resolve much of the problem as they don't want trouble for their son.

The Jones Soda brand has decided to show just how much it loves its North American neighbors by releasing a soda flavor that is dedicated to the most hallowed of Canadian dishes: Poutine. Yes, you read that right, the soda brand is releasing a poutine-flavored edition across a few regions in Canada. If you live in Quebec, Ontario or Vancouver, you're in luck.
The wacky pop flavor is described as having a "nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base." If that doesn't sound heavy enough for you, get this, it's also: "accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine."
As an Irish woman who has developed a profound love for poutine, I think I would (cautiously) give this soda pop a try.

The Green Butchers movie trailer - starring Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Bodil Jorgensen, Line Kruse, Ole Thestrup. Directed by Anders Thomas Jensen. Theatrical Release Date: 12/10/2004
Genre: Drama
Rating: R
The Green Butchers is a comedy that combines the trite, the morbid and the amusing. Bjarne and Svend are pals. Svend has great ambition driven by an equally great inferiority complex, while Bjarne hardly cares about anything else at all apart from Astrid, his girlfriend. Starting their own butcher shop enables them to escape from their vicious boss, Holger, but the shop doesn't do well until a bizarre coincidence leads Svend to concoct a new dish for their organic butcher shop. Business takes off, but will they still be able to obtain the ingredients for this special dish?

Existence as we know it has now been altered irrevocably: Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa are starring in a sitcom, and it's not bad. Really.
Normal Life is standard sitcom in structure: a mom and dad (Laverne & Shirley's Cindy Williams, Barney Miller's Max Gail) and their three children (Dweezil, Moon, and 13-year-old Josh Williams), living in Southern California suburbia. Mom and Dad grin and make silly mistakes, the kids taunt and tease, and there's even a goofball next-door neighbor (dependable character actor Jim Staahl, who takes a great pratfall and looks like George Bush these days).
Sounds dumb, doesn't it? But it's not, because of the show's various subtexts. For instance, the very title of the show suggests that you'll find the words ''normal life'' and ''Dweezil and Moon'' mutually exclusive that you'll tune in just to see what kinds of freaky kids that freaky old rock star Frank Zappa brought into this world. But as he has spent the past decade striving to prove, old Frank isn't a freak at all, and he has raised a pair of decidedly unfreaky (if a tad more reflexively ironic than normal) children.
In real life, Dweezil is a would-be rock star who plays Eddie Van Halen-ish guitar; in Normal Life, Dweezil is Jake, a would-be rock star who plays Eddie Van Halen-ish guitar.
In real life, Moon Unit was the voice of the Valley Girl in her daddy's only top 10 hit, ''Valley Girl.'' In Normal Life, her grating whine of a voice is certainly Valley-ish, but Moon's also a better actor than her brother, and seems very clever. Her chief drawback: She wears at least four bad, loud hats per episode.
So far, Max Gail (portraying a playwright!) is just a big, genial cipher, but it is glowingly clear that Cindy Williams remains the skilled, loony, underrated comedian she has been since Laverne & Shirley.
This series is like a looser, goosier version of Family Ties. In fact, Gail, now bearded and extra burly, looks an awful lot like Family Ties creator Gary David Goldberg. Yet another example of the way Normal Life mixes up real life and sitcom life. B-

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

Vijay Mallay says that while he is happy with Force India's pre-season, he won't make any predictions ahead of the Australian GP...
Q: Dr Mallya, it's been a very busy winter - how have things gone for Sahara Force India?
VM: It's been a massive challenge, especially for a smaller team like ours. That was why we put so many plans in place early last year to be ready for what has become a very different Formula One. All the hard work has paid off, but it has been a very steep learning curve and a huge undertaking to get where we are today.
Q: As you say it's a different Formula One. A new direction for the sport...
VM: It's the first time for many years that Formula One has been properly aligned with the automotive industry. The prospect of Formula One driving forward technical advances for road cars is a very exciting one.
Q: You attended the final test in Bahrain. Were you encouraged by what you saw?
VM: It was certainly a good week in terms of mileage because we completed the second highest number of laps of all the teams. So we can be satisfied with the amount and quality of the work we were able to carry out. We've learned a lot of things - by no means everything - and I think we can feel quietly confident.
Q: What can we expect in Melbourne?
VM: It's never easy to make predictions and this year there are so many more unknowns than usual. I think we can arrive in Melbourne feeling happy about the work we've done over the winter. How that will translate to a race weekend is hard to say, but I think it's important that an element of unpredictability has returned. There is plenty of interest around Formula One at the moment and that's a good thing.

Book Information
Phantom Billing, Fake Prescriptions, and the High Cost of Medicine
Health Care Fraud and What to Do about It
Terry L. Leap
Cloth, 2011 ISBN: 978-0-8014-4979-6
$ 29.95 £22.95
U.S. health care is a $2.5 trillion system that accounts for more than 17 percent of the nation's GDP. It is also highly susceptible to fraud. Estimates vary, but some observers believe that as much as 10 percent of all medical billing involves some type of fraud. In 2009, New York's Medicaid fraud office recovered $283 million and obtained 148 criminal convictions. In July 2010, the U.S. Justice Department charged nearly 100 patients, doctors, and health care executives in five states of bilking the Medicare system out of more than $251 million through false claims for services that were medically unnecessary or never provided. These cases only hint at the scope of the problem. In Phantom Billing, Fake Prescriptions, and the High Cost of Medicine, Terry L. Leap takes on medical fraud and its economic, psychological, and social costs. Illustrated throughout with dozens of specific and often fascinating cases, this book covers a wide variety of crimes: kickbacks, illicit referrals, overcharging and double billing, upcoding, unbundling, rent-a-patient and pill-mill schemes, insurance scams, short-pilling, off-label marketing of pharmaceuticals, and rebate fraud, as well as criminal acts that enable this fraud (mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering). After assessing the effectiveness of the federal laws designed to fight health care fraud and abuse-the antikickback statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, HIPAA, and the food and drug laws-Leap suggests a number of ways that health care providers, consumers, insurers, and federal and state officials can bring health care fraud and abuse under control, thereby reducing the overall cost of medical care in America.
About the Author
Terry L. Leap is Lawson Professor of Business and Head of the Department of Management, University of Tennessee-Knoxville. He is the author of Dishonest Dollars: The Dynamics of White-Collar Crime and Tenure, Discrimination, and the Courts, also from Cornell, and two textbooks.

FiveStory Weaves a Sweet Fashion Tale
Today I had a the great pleasure of meeting Claire Distenfeld at her gorgeous week-old boutique, FiveStory, located on the Upper East Side. The backstory is that after leaving the art world, Claire spent three months strolling city streets and plotting her next move. It was on these strolls that she realized she was totally bored with New York's retail landscape and wished it offered more conceptual, exciting retail "experiences," ala Colette in Paris and Maxfield in LA. So she did what any ambitious Manhattanite would do – she created one herself. FiveStory offers a highly curated assortment of men's and women's apparel, accessories, jewelry and home items displayed in an airy, townhouse setting designed by Ryan Corbin. Jewelry and accessories labels like Dannijo, Lulu Frost and Reece Hudson flank the second floor's brass-lined shelving, while Peter Pilotto, Preen and Carven round out the designer offerings. Downstairs, contemporary labels like Jenni Kayne mix with Mara Hoffman, and in the "shoe garden," platforms by Aperlai are planted alongside Nike hi-tops and Del Toro slippers. But buyers beware, if you're looking for that awesome shoe/bag/dress that so many girls are wearing, it's probably not here. But you can always try Bergdorf Goodman down the street.

1) Begin with the basic categories of taste experience in wine: tannin, oak, acidity, sugar, alcohol, and fruit.
Tannin comes primarily from the skins of grapes and provides the structure for red wines. It can be astringent and potentially bitter. It is also abundant in tea, so to experience a direct dose of tannin, brew very rich black tea – steeping it a little too long – and drink it slowly, letting it coat the inside of your mouth. Oak comes from the barrels that the wine ages in and often shows itself as a hint – or a dollop – of vanilla. Acidity, which provides the structure for white wines, tastes tart and tangy. Bite into a lemon or a grapefruit and experience the acidic structure of white wines. Sugar, of course, tastes sweet. Alcohol is always in the wine glass but is often balanced with the fruit. If there's too much alcohol and it's out of balance with the fruit, it can leave a burning sensation on the finish, like the aftereffects of tequila. Which leaves the flavor profiles of the fruit – often the most complex experience in tasting wine, including fruit flavors but other flavors as well.

A building that serves its purpose and looks beautiful year round for all to enjoy? The Lake Rotsee Refuge is a unique contemporary structure built by AFGH Architekten of Switzerland. The space is offered up as a viewing tower, and is also a space that allows for spectators to hang out for annual water competitions and more.
Built on a concrete slab just above the water level, this space is crafted from materials that are relatively inexpensive and left raw and unfinished. Each level has multiple windows and viewing points that all cantilever up, out and maneuver every which way. When not in use, this building folds up perfectly to appear as a unobtrusive, geometric sculpture.

Evolving Dog-Park Design Standards
The bullpens have also gone through an evolution in recent years. The first ones just entered directly onto the turf of the dog park. While very functional, there was an excessive amount of wear right at the entry. This concentrated use at the gate made it virtually impossible for maintenance staffs to keep the turf in good condition. More recent designs have included an additional surfaced area around the entry, constructed of some type of hard or soft material. This additional area helps to disperse some of the concentrated use right at the entry/exit, and has helped considerably in dispersement of use at the entry/exit area.
Second-generation parks still used either non-irrigated natural turf or irrigated bluegrass. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.
The non-irrigated turf is much less expensive to install and maintain, but does not stand up well to high concentrations of use and seems to quickly turn into bare dirt soon after the opening of the dog park.
The bluegrass is more expensive to install and maintain but will hold up better under high use. However, even though the bluegrass will stand up to some heavy use, areas of high concentrated use day after day will also destroy blue grass turf.
We noticed the turf in the Denver metro-area dog parks never has an opportunity to recover. Once the turf is stressed, it almost never has the opportunity to re-establish.
Third-Generation Design?
Because of our observations, we centered the discussions on how to keep the turf in the best possible shape. We knew the parks we observed were very well maintained, but the turf was just "loved to death."
One of the first decisions was that un-irrigated turf was not going to be an acceptable solution for the facilities. Both parks were to be located in very developed park/sports complexes, and the expectation was that the dog parks would fit into the surrounding parks. The question then became how to keep the irrigated turf in an acceptable condition and consistent with the rest of the park.
After much discussion and debate as a design group, we came to the conclusion that these areas would receive the same type of use/abuse as the sports fields, and maintenance decisions were based on this conclusion. The maintenance staff needed to treat these fields as if they were overused sports fields and maintenance of the dog park needed to include mowing, fertilizing, aerating and over-seeding.
As design discussion progressed, our maintenance staff voiced its concerns about the ability of the irrigated turf to recover from overuse. No matter what you do, or how well you address the wear of the turf through over-seeding and fertilization, if use is not removed and the grass does not have an opportunity to grow, it will never recover. Based on this concern, the design discussion moved to figuring out how we could effectively remove use from the worn areas, yet still allow use of the park.
The solution to this diverging thought was based on a prevailing agricultural concept in our area — pasture rotation, where one area is rested while another is opened for active use.
We decided to divide the dog parks roughly in half, with each side being slightly over an acre in size, and rotate use of the areas throughout the year.
Personally, I would consider this the next generation in dog-park design. We have tried this concept on two of our dog parks and are extremely pleased with the results.
The rotation schedule is based on use, not the calendar, and the maintenance staff makes the decision as to when to rotate to the other side. This decision is based on time of year, natural moisture, compaction, use, etc. Currently, we are rotating approximately every third month, but that is subject to change, based upon conditions.
As mentioned, the maintenance practices used in the dog parks are the same as we use on our irrigated turf sports fields. The maintenance includes fertilization, aeration, mowing (twice weekly), over-seeding (using both slicing and broadcast methods) and trimming. The bluegrass seed mix that we use is a Rocky Mountain Fairway mix developed specially as a sports turf mix for our area.
Other Design Considerations
Dog parks can be designed and constructed for relatively low costs, i.e., metal T-posts with wire, a gate, and non-irrigated turf, to relatively high costs, i.e., irrigated turf, wooden fences, shelters, etc.
However, I would encourage you to base your decisions on how the overall appearance of the park fits into the surrounding park or area. And, you may want to consider adding a designated small-dog area.
The most frequently asked questions at our dog parks (most questions are phrased to our staff as "my dog wants") are the following:
· When are we going to have shade?

Entries in color (21)
how to: paint glass vases
clear glass vases
glass paint, paint-thinner
disposable bowls—paper, ceramic, foil
plastic utensils
drop cloth or kraft paper
1. Prepare a work area by spreading the drop cloth or kraft paper over a work surface/area.
2. Select a color palette—we found that the darker colors were more successful, more opaque since there is more pigment in the liquid.
3. Pour glass paint into bowls and mix well with a plastic spoon—we also added glass-paint-thinner to make the quantity go farther.
4. Hold the glass vase by the rim and dip it into the bowl of paint.
5. Slowly rotate the vase around the bowl in a fluid movement until it has covered the vase as preferred.
6. Lift the vase and let excess paint drip into the bowl—it make take 5-10 minutes for the paint to stop dripping.
4-6 Alternate process: apply the paint using a paintbrush for a slightly different effect.
7. Carefully hold the vase at an angle equal to the dip-line and blow dry until the paint is semi-dry—about 10 minutes. Hold the hairdryer per the paint instructions—about 8" from the vase. Hint: we found a lower heat setting worked well.
8. Place the vase on a drop cloth or kraft paper so that it dries completely—we used upside down paper bowls.
9. To seal the paint, allow the vases to dry overnight or place them in the oven—follow the instructions on the paint bottle label as they will vary with each manufacturer.
watch: gold
how it's made: brite drinkware
Sandra: In April 2012, while developing products for this Spring 2013, Andrea and I visited glass and dinnerware factories and naturally took a walk through their showrooms. After seeing hundreds of glass samples, we found a clear double old-fashioned—forgettable were it not for its stripes.
My thought process was to create a cocktail glass specifically for Pride parties—with the rainbow Pride flag as inspiration. Thankfully Andrea went along with the idea—we didn't want to transfer the stripes literally, we simply used them as inspiration.
Andrea: The end goal was to create colorful drinkware that would be the star on the table with simple serving/dinnerware pieces—and that could be used for any occasion.
Color placement was hugely important as we discovered through various iterations—especially since the process of hand-painting the glasses naturally varied from the 2-dimensional drawings on paper. And, of course, no matchy-matchy so the brite martini and brite double old-fashioned are different to distinguish variations in the stripe patterns.

I wasn't sure that I would like this but now I think it's really lovely. Great for daytime and at the office. It seems kinda heavy at first but it disappears. I've made it my signature day fragrance for the office and carry it with me at the gym. I like fragrances at all price points because as we know, the juice is the same quality at all price points. Good deal, nice unoffensive scent.

While I like this, I feel like it doesn't stand out. It's good for daytime. However, I doubt I will buy it again
This is a very gentle, classy, scent. Smells powdery and just so gorgeous. When i was little id use the solid perfume. Now that i'm old very old and have my own job and no longer have to live off allowance I can buy the bottle version. Woohoo!! Lasts longer yay haha!

I used to wear this about 5 years ago, ran out and never re ordered. I found that this fall I was missing it so I ordered the cologne rollette, skin softener and powder. OH Hooray. I guess this is one of my HG fall and winter scents so soft, slightly sweet, a bit floral and musky. Like a lovely powder scent that is comforting and stays on the skin very nicely during the day and night. This is another one my husband loves I think both of us are fans of nostalgic budget colognes that are light and not too strong. Now I need the spray! It smells good applied to the hair!

Someone mentioned that this smells like bath and body works "moonlight path" and yes! i agree it smells identical (after it dries down a little) and this one is gentler on the nose. It goes on smelling very powdery. Later it still has the powder smell but with more musk and some sweet flowers. It lasts fairly long, 4 hours on me. A good cologne. Try it if you like something soft, warm, and rich. And powdery! Smells comforting. I will buy it again when I run out.

I agree with LittleGnome below - Avon NMEM is really quite powdery. I originally wore it to 'get into character' for a LARP group I belong to. (my character was a wealthy old vampire/patron of the performing arts.) To me it smells like one of those vintage pale blue cardboard boxes of loose face powder. I always wondered how women ever managed to use those without spilling them all over. But I digress. It may be a powdery scent but on my skin the musk is definitely there. DH and I are both very fond of musk, and he likes this one but not as much as Jovan or Coty Wild. I would have to say that I even prefer Jovan Musk for Men on myself over this. I like the sexier musks myself, however it is a satisfactory scent for the price. I may buy it again someday but would wait for it to go on sale like it very often does.

This scent is too strong for me, even in Skin Softener form. Although I only wore a fingertip full of this Skin Softener on my wrists, I still had an overwhelming musk scent on me. This could be good for somebody who likes strong musks, but not me.
I love this perfume! It is the perfect scent for fall and winter. It's got great staying power, and a great price too! I love it so much that I purchased 4 bottles the last time I got it, and have already gone through 1/2 a bottle in one week!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this perfume. The other reviewers are right. This is a powder and musk sort of scent. To me it reminds me of twilight, in that it's sweetly innocent with just a hint of seduction. You only need one spray of this, too much is an over kill. This is perfect for the women who dont like the floral scented perfumes but still want something relatively light.

Ronnie Dunn, Country Music's Most Established Freshman
Now that the well established duo of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Brooks & Dunn[/lastfm] has separated, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ronnie Dunn[/lastfm] is now a solo artist and well, a new kid on the country music block, a freshman if you will. It's almost like having to go back to school after graduationg. So just how is he handling being "new"?
I think I would have a case of the nerves if I had been with a singing partner for years and then journeyed out on my own. Starting over, no matter what the cause or situation, can give you the jitters.
[photogallerylink id=12237]Ronnie Dunn is the new freshman on campus. Ya know, those are words I never thought would be together in a sentence! His new, first ever solo album is scheduled to be released June 7th. Does Ronnie have any anxiety about being a freshman on the country music scene?
His firt solo single "Bleed Red" is an awesome song and will be on his debut solo album. If you missed it, here's Ronnie singing it live at the ACM's. I think he seems a little nervous to be on his own, but I also think he did a great job! What do you think?

BMW celebrates return to DTM after 20-year absence
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on May 1st, 2012 at 6:01PM
This past weekend, BMW celebrated its return to DTM racing after a 20-year embargo of its home series. On the first practice day of the weekend at Hockenheim, Andy Priaulx was the best BMW in tenth, almost a second off the pace. By Saturday morning's second free practice just before quallifying, BMW pilot Bruno Splengler, who was 20th on Friday, topped the time sheets. In the end, it was Priaulx who was the top-finishing BMW, registering a sixth-place finish behind a spate of Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and Audi A5 racers. Not a win, but not a horrible start for being out of the series for 20... Read More
