Reminder News captures HOT HULA fitness with Kat in Glastonbury, CT, 5/23/13
HOT HULA fitness® is a fun dance workout focusing on the core especially the abs. Take your shoes off, put on a lava-lava and enjoy working out the the Polynesian drum beats fused with funky Reggae music. This effecive 60-minute class is easy to follow, low impact and fun for all ages.
HOT HULA fitness® isolates your larger muscle groups, increasing strength and definition to your core with specific emphasis on the abs, glutes, quads and arms providing a TOTAL BODY WORKOUT!
My name is Alisha and I am a 34 year old mother of two, a wife, and a teacher. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and have done yo-yo dieting for as long as I can remember!
My real weight issues started after having my kids. I was at my heaviest in 2009 at 235 lbs. I couldn't believe I had allowed myself to get to that point, but I didn't know what I was going to do about it. All of the women in my family are large and suffer from many different weight related health issues. I just came to a point where I figured this was my destiny. I had better just enjoy my life, get used to the fact that I am a "big girl" and try to be happy with that.
Then a friend told me about HOT HULA fitness®. Being involved with Polynesian dancing since I was 6 years old, I have a great passion for this type of dancing as well as the culture, so I was extremely interested. I did some research and talked to a friend that was involved in fitness. With her encouragement I attended an instructor training for HOT HULA fitness®. I didn't attend with the intention of ever instructing, I just wanted to see what all the hype was about and since it involved the dancing I loved so much it seemed like it might be a good fit for me.
Once that training began...I was hooked! I loved it and wanted to get involved in classes right away, but then I got the opportunity to talk with Anna-Rita Sloss, the trainer that day. She told me that she wanted me to consider being an instructor. I laughed inside thinking, "What gym would ever hire someone like ME to teach fitness?" I took that training in January 2010 and by May 2010 I was instructing my first class. Right before I started that first class I figured I better get myself in check and do this the right way. I needed to change my eating habits for good this time and make it realistic. That's exactly what I did and within the first 5 months I was down 25 lbs!
It has now been almost a year of instructing for me...I instruct 2 HOT HULA fitness® classes a week, attend other HOT HULA fitness® classes when I have the time, and I am now getting close to being down 40 lbs! I have never been happier about my health and my body. HOT HULA fitness® has changed me. It has not only made outside physical changes to my body, but it has changed me inside as well. It has given me a confidence I have never known and brought me into a "family" of amazing, beautiful, and encouraging people. I have been blessed to be a part of it all! Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would be a fitness instructor of any kind.
Not only did I become an instructor of HOT HULA fitness®, but I was privileged to be a part of making some of the instructor DVD's and ultimately the first HOT HULA fitness® in-home DVD series. It has taken hard work on my part to get to where I am today, but HOT HULA fitness® sure has made it fun getting here!
To Anna-Rita...you were an inspiration to me before I ever had the privilege of meeting you. Now knowing you has just made my respect, love and admiration for you grow beyond measure! Thank you for investing your time in me, always encouraging me to do more, and making me feel like I am worth it all! To my HOT HULA fitness® Ohana...thank you for your love, support, and encouragement. You are all amazing! HOT HULA fitness® has changed me for good!
A year ago, I found myself at rock bottom. Living in a new place away from family, I fell into a deep depression. It was a slow progression that I didn't even see coming, until one day I realized I could barely breathe. As a mother of six, I had dedicated my life to taking care of everyone around me, at my own expense. My life revolved around getting everyone to their activities, doing what I could to make sure they were successful and I would just sit on the sidelines and watch. I stopped participating in life. I was the mom in the lawn chair who would watch as her husband ran around and played with the kids. At nearly 200 lbs, I no longer recognized myself in the mirror.
Now, I know when I tell people I have six kids, they assume that's where I got my excess weight from. I can assure you it's not. I earned every single pound on my own, with out the help of my pregnancies. In fact, because I so often had gestational diabetes, I would be very healthy during my pregnancies, and would gain very little weight at all. However, once the baby was born, I quickly would go back to my ways and eat any thing and everything. It was to the point where I would get pregnant again, my doctor would point out that I now already weighed several pounds more than when I was full term with my previous pregnancy. I put on every pound myself, fair and square.
I decided to take the kids back home to Hawaii on a vacation. While there, I thought I'd like to try a few fitness classes. I took a few dance fitness classes, and while I felt great while dancing, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how I looked. I wasn't nearly as cute as I thought I was when I danced. I quickly became the girl in the back row, hiding from my own reflection. A friend invited me to a HOT HULA fitness® class. Having danced hula in my younger days, I thought it would be fun! My first thought about 3 minutes into the class was how low impact it was. Having a bad knee, this was a bonus for me, but I couldn't imagine how something so low impact could produce results. At about 4 minutes in, when my thighs started burning and the sweat began to drip, there was no doubt in my mind that I would see results with this program. My favorite moment of that class was when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My big, child bearing hips, while awkward in other classes, were graceful and beautiful while doing HOT HULA fitness®! I had always felt that once I lost the weight I would be beautiful, but in that moment, I realized that I was already beautiful, even with the weight! HOT HULA fitness® awakened me! It made me proud of my body and my curves. I learned to push myself and enjoy it.
Being so new in the fitness world, and lacking the motivation, I knew for me, the only way I would stick with the program would be to teach it. Yes, at nearly 200 lbs, I decided I wanted to be a fitness instructor! I signed up for the very next certification, which was the day after my first class. That was the single greatest decision I made in turning my life around! In less than a year with HOT HULA fitness® I dropped 50 lbs! I have found myself again. I feel like my husband has his fun, spunky wife back. For the first time in at least 10 years, I enjoy getting dressed! I'll never forget the first time I went into a store, grabbed something off the rack and it actually fit!! Shopping before usually resulted with me in tears in the dressing room. I have found that joy I'd lost. More than anything, I have found a reason to be proud of myself. I have such a different outlook on who I am and what I can accomplish. HOT HULA fitness® has been life changing not only for me, but for the men and women in my classes who have seen results in their own lives!
I want to thank Anna-Rita Sloss and ASE for creating this incredible, program. My life will forever be changed because I discovered HOT HULA fitness®.

Legal Merits of CRA's Right to Educate Consumers about High Fructose Corn Syrup
Unaffected by Judge's Ruling on Member Companies
July 31, 2012
CONTACT: David Knowles
WASHINGTON, DC – The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) said today it is eager to defend the right of consumers to be informed that high fructose corn syrup is just another kind of sugar, following a decision by a federal judge to include trade association members as defendants in a lawsuit brought by processed sugar interests, including the Sugar Association.
"This ruling is solely about who is included in the lawsuit and has no bearing on the merits of the case which are about ensuring that consumers get the facts regarding high fructose corn syrup," said Audrae Erickson, president of CRA.
In the only ruling to date on the merits, Judge Marshall ruled in October 2011 that a preliminary review of the evidence showed that the sugar industry Plaintiffs had filed a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. Judge Marshall also found in that same ruling last October that the sugar Plaintiffs "have not presented any evidence to support their burden on the claims that CRA's statements have influenced any purchasing decisions [or] that Plaintiffs have suffered an injury."
Erickson added, "Consumers have a right to know what ingredients are in their food and beverages, especially as we're seeing more and more people concerned with managing their sugar intake. It's essential for consumers to understand that high fructose corn syrup is another kind of sugar despite the processed sugar industry's attempts to censor our education campaign."
In April 2011, members of the processed sugar industry, led by the Sugar Association, sued CRA and its members in an attempt to block their efforts to educate consumers that high fructose corn syrup is a form of sugar. It is a commonly accepted, proven fact within the scientific and nutritional communities that sugar derived from corn is not nutritionally different than sugar processed from beets or cane.
"Our ultimate success will not only enable consumers to better understand the sugar content of their foods and beverages, it will send a powerful message to the Sugar Association and other business interests that you cannot stop consumer education as a means to stifle competition in the marketplace," said Erickson.
The lawsuit, pending in federal court in Los Angeles, now continues its discovery phase where parties exchange information. No trial date has been set.
The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) is the national trade association representing the corn refining (wet milling) industry of the United States. CRA and its predecessors have served this important segment of American agribusiness since 1913. Corn refiners manufacture sweeteners, ethanol, starch, bioproducts, corn oil and feed products from corn components such as starch, oil, protein and fiber.

Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Consumers and Providers
E. Fuller Torrey
An Interview with Dr. Torrey
An interview with E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., author of Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Consumers and Providers, Third Edition.
How is your new edition of Surviving Schizophrenia different from the previous ones?
The third edition of Surviving Schizophrenia is as different from the second edition as its green cover is different from the orange cover on the older edition. Even the subtitle of the book has been changed from "A Family Manual" to "A Manual for Families, Consumers and Providers."
I have especially reorganized the practical aspects of the book so that readers can more readily pick out what they are looking for. For example, Chapter 9 is entitled "Six Major Problems" and has sections on 1) Cigarettes and Coffee; 2) Alcohol and Street Drugs; 3) Sex, Pregnancy, and AIDS; 4) Medication Noncompliance; 5) Assaultive and Violent Behavior; and 6) Suicide.
Chapter 10 is "Questions Asked by Consumers and Families," and it has sections such as "Should People with Schizophrenia Drive Motor Vehicles?" "How Can Relapses Be Reduced?" and "How Do Religious Issues Affect People with Schizophrenia?"
I have also included more practical information on resources. There is a six-page listing of the most useful videotapes, compiled by Mrs. Katie Petray, as well as a listing of available courses forgetting education on schizophrenia.
My favorite section continues to be the annotated "Readings on Schizophrenia," which has been expanded to include "The 15 Best and the 15 Worst." Some old favorites and unfavorites are joined by new nominees, including some outstanding books and also some that are truly dreadful.
What are some of the positive changes that have taken place in the last 12 years in how we view and treat this disease?
The two most exciting changes that have taken place in the past 12 years have been advances in research and a decrease in stigma. We know much more about schizophrenia as a brain disease, as I summarize in Chapter 6, "What Causes Schizophrenia?"
Increased research funds from NIMH, NARSAD, the Theodore and Vada Stanley Foundation, and the Scottish Rite have merged with rapidly improving technology for studying the brain to produce a veritable stream of research developments, and this stream is accelerating. It is really an exciting time from a research point of view.
The decrease in stigma has come largely through public education.. NAMI members at the local level (for example, teaching a class at a local school) and at the national level are largely responsible for this decrease in stigma.
However, the single largest factor in decreasing stigma has been the willingness of individuals who have been affected with schizophrenia to go public and talk about their experiences in newspaper interviews, books, radio, television, and videotapes. We owe a great debt to these individuals, such as Fred Frese, Lori Schiller, Esso Leete, Carol North, Brandon Fitch, and the others.
Is anything surrounding this disease or its treatment actually worse now than it was a decade ago?
There is no question that public services, overall, are worse than a decade ago. More individuals with schizophrenia are living in public shelters and on the streets; more of them are in jails (usually on misdemeanor charges); more of them are living in very marginal group homes; and more of them are living in questionable nursing homes.
For many reasons, which I detail in Chapter 1, "Dimensions of the Disaster," deinstitutionalization has been carried out very poorly and is the largest single failed social experiment in twentieth-century America. We are so used to the mediocre services that we forget how bad they are.
For that reason I included a new section in the book on "Examples of Good Services" and listed (with an accompanying map) the best clubhouses, the best continuous treatment teams, and the best community mental health centers and comprehensive treatment programs.
The other troublesome question that has recently arisen--and which I discuss in the book--is whether the incidence of schizophrenia is increasing in the United States. There is recent data suggesting that it may be. If this is indeed true, then our problems with services are going to get even larger.
How will consumers and families be helped by your book? Overall, what does it offer them that they have trouble obtaining otherwise?
Surviving Schizophrenia offers families, consumers, and providers one-stop shopping. In a single book an answer can be found to almost any question that may arise, from the history of schizophrenia to a list of the best journals to read to keep up on the research developments.
My model for the book is Dr. Benjamin Spock's Baby and Child Care, which is so widely used because it tells mothers everything they need to know in a single volume. The third edition of Surviving Schizophrenia has a markedly expanded table of contents (five pages) and index (17 pages) so that readers can quickly find whatever they need.
In that sense, Surviving Schizophrenia is the type of book that you keep around and pick up to read specific sections. It's not a book that you read once through then put on the shelf.
What is the most often asked question about schizophrenia from someone such as a family member who has just learned that a loved one has the disorder. What is your answer? The most often asked question is the obvious one: What can be done? And my response to it is to emphasize the importance of finding a competent psychiatrist and the importance of starting antipsychotic medication as quickly as possible. I detail this in Chapter 7, "The Treatment of Schizophrenia."
The next most often asked question is frequently asked indirectly: "Did I cause my relative to become sick?" Those of us who are familiar with research on schizophrenia sometimes forget how many people are not familiar with it.
Family members often assume that they played some role in causing their relative's disease. I explain that they played no more role in causing the schizophrenia than they would if their relative had developed Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis--in other words, no role whatsoever.
If the family of a person with schizophrenia remembers just one major point made in your book--holds onto just one message--what would you like it to be? If the consumer remembers just one point, what would you like it to be?
For the family, I would ask them to read Chapter 2, "The Inner World of Madness," and realize how difficult life is for individuals with schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia are often heroic in their efforts to control their voices and delusional thinking and to lead normal lives.
For the consumer, I would ask him or her to read Chapter 11, "How to Be an Advocate," and parts of Chapter 10, such as "How Can Consumers Survive Schizophrenia?" If they remember just one point, I would like it to be the increasing role that consumers themselves are playing in advocacy efforts and in delivering services to other individuals who are affected with this disease.
Perhaps the best examples are the consumer provider (also called consumer case manager) training programs listed in Appendix C. Consumers are playing an increasing role in services, and this is exciting progress.

Source: Jets deal Mason to Texans
Derrick Mason caught 13 balls for 115 yards and zero touchdowns in five games with the Jets.Jason O. Watson/US PRESSWIRE
NEW YORK (AP) — Derrick Mason's reunion with Rex Ryan lasted just five games.
A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that the New York Jets agreed to trade the veteran wide receiver to the Houston Texans on Tuesday night for an undisclosed draft pick.
BURKE: A potential boost to Texans passing game
Mason's role was greatly diminished in New York's 30-21 loss at New England on Sunday, while rookie Jeremy Kerley mostly assumed his spot as the No. 3 receiver. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the trade.
The deal ends a quick stint in New York for the 37-year-old Mason, who spent the last six seasons with Baltimore, Ryan's former team. He signed a two-year deal with the Jets in early August, choosing them over a return with the Ravens or the Tennessee Titans. He had been released by Baltimore before training camp and was expected to fill the spot of the departed Jerricho Cotchery.
Ryan was excited by Mason joining the team, and said he expected him to have at least 80 catches as a slot receiver with the Jets. But the veteran got off to a slow start with just 13 catches for 115 yards, and had just one reception – the only pass thrown his way – on Sunday.
Ryan explained Monday that Mason saw less time because he wanted to give Kerley, a fifth-round pick, more opportunities.
"Derrick's going to still be a part of what we do," Ryan said. "I just thought we can do some things with Kerley. I think we're excited (with) the way he's out there on the practice field and we'll see going forward."
Mason made some critical comments the previous week, saying the team had "cracks" that needed to be fixed. Ryan insisted that had nothing to do with the decision to have Mason sit in favor of Kerley.
"You guys know I have an open policy with the media," Ryan said. "I don't put a muzzle on anybody."
In a radio interview Monday, Ryan acknowledged that he had met with Mason late last week, but wouldn't go into details.
"It was a private conversation," he said.
Mason, along with Plaxico Burress and Santonio Holmes, were also mentioned in a Daily News report that said the wide receivers had met with Ryan individually during the last few weeks to complain about offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. All three denied the report, as did Ryan – and the team took the rare step of issuing a statement to also say it was untrue.
Before the Jets' game against the Ravens two weeks ago, Mason said he had no bitterness toward his former team and talked about how he wanted to play in New York and for Ryan, with the hope that he could win a Super Bowl ring. But he also acknowledged when he signed with New York that it would be tough to leave his two children back home in Nashville. He flew back home every week when the team had an off day.
Now, Mason will head to Houston, where he can help the Texans' offense while Andre Johnson recovers from a right hamstring injury. Coincidentally, if he plays this Sunday for the Texans, Mason's first game will be back in Baltimore.
With his 7-yard catch Sunday, Mason became the 18th player in NFL history to reach 12,000 yards receiving.

Happy Halloween!
---Hubby and I had to divide and conquer the other day with the kids...Lu and Hubby both needed to get some clothing while Bud and I headed out to the Railroad Museum:
Where they had trains, pumpkin painting AND a petting zoo:
---I put jewelry at Memory Lane...and it is FLYING off the shelves! It is always such a good feeling when someone else likes what you make by hand.
---I've waited to buy chocolate for Halloween trick or treating tonight. How bad is it that I will give the chocolate out at the very last? Smarties, tootsie pops and laffy taffy...who cares? But I WANT MY CHOCOLATE. This is why I needed to wait until today. I have a wee bit of a problem, yes?
---Good friends are coming over tonight for our annual Trick or Treating get-together with the traditional Chicken Enchilada Soup and cheap red wine. The guys take the kids out, the girls stay and hand out candy. It is a win/win.
---Speaking of the soup, I need to find some great bowls today so am off to do a bit of thrifting!
What do you like to hand out for Halloween treats?
Enjoy your day, Sonya
My Latest Happy's
Before I head back into the studio, I thought you would like to know that Wreath Week has been officially moved to next week...hammers and breakable vintage ornaments simply do not do well in the same room together.
Enjoy your day! Sonya
Perfect reminder for me
Enjoy your day! Sonya
The Craft Attention Span Of A Gnat
I had to stop by Hobby Lobby to pick up a couple things and wandered down the jewelry aisle. For 2 hours. I am not even kidding you.
Remember my whole soldering experience? I am thinking I didn't give it enough time and energy. I should've stuck with it! Tried harder!
Actually, it was an enjoyable afternoon figuring this stuff out. I always do things the way I THINK they should be done and then after doing it, google what I should PROBABLY have done in the first place. So I know now that I do need a steel block to pound on. Not the basement coffee table. And oxidising is important. As well as steel wool. And I need a whole lot more vintage ephemera.
The pendant I made represents Lu's school (Go West!) and I think I want to foof it up a bit with school colors using a green glass bead.
I am guessing that Wreath Week has been delayed by a day or two.
Enjoy your day! Sonya
Etsy and Memory Lane
I have actually been productive this week! Staying focused! GETTING THINGS DONE AROUND HERE!
The Etsy shop is getting filled, which is exciting to get into my groove with listing.
Plus, Ruth and I are going all out at Memory Lane and its been fun to drop things off every day and fluff up the booth:

One of the best parts about sharing this booth is the variety we both bring to display.
And now, back into the studio to see what will be created over the weekend!
Enjoy your day, Sonya
C'mon, just give me a nudge...
I NEED to get stuff listed in Etsy that were supposed to be listed a long time ago...I NEED to put more items out at Memory Lane (there is a shocking amount of things just flying off the shelves there, yay!)...I NEED to go through the Studio and Stockroom and get it more organized for the coming season...
Thankfully, I am filled with energy this morning and shall attempt to get all this and more done today. Until I crash and burn around 11am, right?
Enjoy your day! Sonya

In the meantime, I leave you with a picture of the rest of the goodies found at the church sale last week:

Those recipes are classic and I am now the keeper of the small handwritten recipe book.
Enjoy your day! Sonya
Santa Baby
One Of Those Perfect Picks
Every so often I come across the perfect kind of sale. Yesterday held one of those in store as I headed out to thrift.
It is going to make all other sales pale in comparison for a long, long time. I actually tried to hit a couple sales following this sale and walked away from all of them so disappointed.
I wanted to go back to the first sale.
It is going to stay with me for a loooooong time. And the best part? They are only halfway through going through the house...there are more sales to come! Yes, yes I will be going back.
Enjoy your day! Sonya

Daisy May's BBQ USA
Time Out says
Posted: Mon Jun 21 2010
No fancy amenities like table service here; instead, patrons cart their fare to one of the long picnic tables in the sunlit back room. The award-winning Sweet & Sticky pork ribs are a four-napkin affair and live up to the hype, delivering tender meat that practically falls off the bone. The price is also right—$19.50 buys six ribs and two side dishes. The red-velvet cupcakes are a down-home treat not to be resisted; or skip dessert and satisfy your sweet tooth during dinner with the sweet potatoes with brown sugar.

text: Barren Island, which is part of the Chesapeake Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex, is located 12 miles south of the Choptank River in the Chesapeake Bay. Barren Island is one of the few remaining islands in the Bay, and it is eroding at a rapid rate. Offshore islands are a unique ecosystem in the Bay. They typically have a relative lack of human disturbance and fewer predators compared with mainland habitats; therefore, they are more desirable as nesting sites for colonial water birds and some endangered species. In addition, islands provide offshore protection for mainland habitats by reducing wave action and erosion rates. The Aquarium is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Maryland Conservation Corps, Friends of Blackwater, and community volunteers to restore wetland habitat by planting native salt marsh grass. In the spring of 2001, the National Aquarium's Conservation Team (ACT!) set foot on Barren Island for the first time, with the goal of restoring 7 acres of wetland habitat with the help of 350 volunteers. Since then, ACT! and our project partners have restored a total of 26 acres of wetland habitat on Barren Island. An island once "barren" by erosion now thrives with wildlife and vegetation. Project partners are pleased with the results of the last 10 years. As funds become available, additional areas of the island will be restored. Back to the Top

A Trip to the Moon
Submitted: 12/07/2012
- Would you go on a trip to the moon? How much would you pay?
A new company now has people considering the answers to these questions. Former NASA employees came to together forming a new company called Golden Spike. The company plans to make trips to the moon available to anybody, not just astronauts. We asked people in the Northwoods if they would go.
"It probably would be nice, I wouldn't mind that," said Dolly.
"I think it'd be a wonderful experience and it'd be fun and something different to do. And not many people get to do that so," says Raya. "That depends on how much they're going to charge me," said David.
And it will cost you a pretty penny. The trip for two will set you back 1-point-5 billion dollars. So we asked if you had the money would you spend it on the moon?
"Sure, if I had it, I'd love to do that," says David.
"I don't think so, cause just, I don't think spending 1.5 billion on myself would be worth it and I think there's a lot better things you can do with the money," said Shane.
"If I had all the money in the world, I would pay that," says Dolly
If you are interested in getting to the moon and have the money to do it, Golden Spike Company can get you up there sometime before 20-20.

After arm chair quarterbacking a number of forum accountings of LE contact it finally happened to me. My dog and I were on our way to the store and taking the back streets. When we came to a stop sign at the intersection of two traffic free streets, I tapped the brake and executed a "California stop" and proceeded through the intersection.
From out of nowhere came the Colorado State Patrol and in response to his flashing lights I pulled over, placed my hands on the steering wheel and waited. "Good afternoon sir, were you aware that you failed to come to a complete stop at the stop sign" said the officer. I acknowledged that I was aware and made no excuses. When the officer asked for my license and registration I handed him these documents plus my concealed carry permit.
The officer examined the CCW permit and handed it back to me and asked me if I was carrying a weapon. I told him that I was carrying. He asked me where my weapon was and I explained that it was holstered on my belt, inside my waistband on my right hand side. He then told me to leave my weapon holstered while he returned to his car for a few minutes. In about 3 minutes he returned with a citation for me for failing to stop at a stop sign, commented about my little dog and wished me a safe afternoon.
At no time was he more than mildly interested that I was carrying a weapon. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this encounter which IMO is exactly as it should be. I just wish he had cut me some slack on that failure to stop.

Allison Mack, Chloe Sullivan, Smallville, Coming to Austin Comic Con!
Allison Mack,
Chloe Sullivan
, Smallville, Coming to Austin Comic Con!
Do I tell you how to shoot your arrows? I dont think so!
Allison Mack is an American actress, director and producer. She is best known for her role of Chloe Sullivan on the Superman-inspired television series Smallville and Amanda on FXs Wilfred.
Mack was born in Preetz, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany to American parents, Mindy and Jonathan Mack. Her father was an opera singer performing there. The Mack family moved back to the United States when she was two years old. She has an older brother Shannon and a younger sister Robyn.
She began her acting career at the age of four in commercials for German Chocolate. Mack then went into modeling for a short period because her mother thought she looked cute in clothes. She began studying at The Young Actors Space in Los Angeles when she was seven.
Her first major television role came in an episode of the WB series 7th Heaven, in which she gained a lot of attention playing a teenager who cut herself. In 2000, she starred in the short-lived series Opposite Sex. She also starred beside her former Smallville castmate Sam Jones III in an R. L. Stine miniseries The Nightmare Room. Her filmography includes Eric Stoltzs directorial debut My Horrible Year!, in which she plays a girl having great difficulties in her life as she turns sixteen, and Camp Nowhere.
In October 2001, Mack began starring as Chloe Sullivan, one of Clark Kents best friends, in the CW hit series Smallville.
In the summer of 2006, Mack voiced the sister of the main character in the Warner Bros. CGI movie The Ant Bully. That year she also provided the voice of a museum curator named Clea in an episode of The Batman.
In November 2008, Mack made her directorial debut with the Smallville episode Power, which aired January 29, 2009.
Since May 2009, Mack has been part of a project with the Iris Theatre Company which performed a piece of experimental theater at the Prague Fringe Festival.[citation needed]
She voiced Power Girl in the Warner Premiere animated feature, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, released on September 29, 2009.
In May 2010 it was announced that Mack will not be appearing as a series regular on the final season of Smallville, but will return for several episodes. At the 2010 San Diego Comic Con it was mentioned that Mack may still be considered a series regular, as she would appear in several episodes. Mack returned for five episodes in the tenth season, being billed as a series regular for the episodes she appeared in. She also eventually appeared in the two-part series finale.
It was announced in March 2012 that Mack was cast in the television series Wilfred in a recurring role in the second season. She plays the love interest for the lead character Ryan, played by Elijah Wood.

DOTHAN, AL, October 23, 2012 — Now that all the presidential debates are finished the pundits and the talking heads are busy chattering away about who won, what points were made and whether or not the world is doomed if their favorite candidate doesn't win. If you are tired of the incessant talking points and political dithering, here's a really simple summary of what just happened:
Debate #1: Two guys go in a bar, one of them wants to drink alone but the other one is kind of pushy and loud. The quiet guy takes a lot of guff from everyone, including his friends.
Debate #2: Wanting to prove he's not a wimp, the quiet guy gets real aggressive and both guys have a huge knockdown drag-out fight. Nobody seems to be the winner and nobody seems to care.
Debate #3: Nursing black eyes and now drunk, both guys quiet down. The loud guy tells the quiet guy he had some pretty good punches. The quiet guy makes some sarcastic remarks but the loud guy lets it go. Both men have some more drinks and sing songs until the bartender throws them out at closing time.
It's as simple as that. In the days before bullying was a national epidemic and boys were taught by their fathers how to fight and defend themselves, this kind of behavior was fairly common. The pattern usually continued into old age and frequently, not always, ended up with the combatants being at least respectful of each other afterward. Of course there was occasionally that guy with a big chip on his shoulder who just wouldn't give it up and continued being sarcastic no matter what.
For anyone charged up by the first and second debates, the third debate was a letdown. Romney came to praise Caesar not bury him. It was fairly obvious from the start that he was trying to stay above the fray and act more presidential, which also meant a slide to the center to appease voters concerned about repeating the Bush years.
He stayed out of the weeds on Middle East issues and tried to turn the debate back to the economy by talking about
Obama stuck with his game plan of criticizing Romney and mocking things he has done or said over time. His comments about Navy ships, for example - that things had changed since 1916 and now we have boats that go under the water - was arrogant, sarcastic, lecturing and not worthy of a senior executive. Unfortunately it's also what we've come to expect from this president.
The president referred to his "experience as commander-in-chief" but didn't explain how foreign policy based on assassination by drones is any better than what we had before his administration. He got away without explaining
We will find out in another two weeks whether Romney's strategy of "be the adult and don't argue with a child" worked, or whether voters think Obama's sarcasm is cute enough to warrant his continuing in office. I for one was disappointed by last night's debate. I had honestly hoped for another slugfest like the second debate and had beer and pretzels ready for the event. It's no fun hearing someone agree with an opponent, and even less fun having to listen to sophomoric mockery from the leader of the free world.
The lesson of the past few decades is that the best foreign policy is one that makes the world as predictable as possible. When the business world feels confident and people feel safe the economy will grow and everyone will benefit. Despite my personal preference for loud argumentative debates, I can't stop thinking about Romney's quiet demeanor and fatherly advice that "We can't kill our way out of this."
I've been waiting since the

RFID Possible Major Issue
1) Training is now going on for RFID purchases.
2) There are some REALLY cool things, both for WDW and the guest.
3) But there is a major OOPS on its way.
4) At the end of a transaction, the casher has to hit a Clear Folio button.
5) This is different than Total button the casher will hit at end of purchase
6) If this button is not pushed.
. . . transactions are continued on the RFID chip (room charge)
. . . all future transactions are continued on the same RFID chip
7) So, as an example,
. . . Fred buys his souvenir, casher missed Clear Folio button, and Fred leaves
. . . Sue comes by and gets a souvenir - - - and Fred gets the bill
. . . Alfred comes by with a souvenir - - - and Fred is paying
. . . Nancy comes by for a souvenir - - - you guessed it, Fred is paying
8) Until Clear Folio is depressed, the same person pays for all transactions.
9) Word to the wise when making ANY purchase with RFID chip
. . . make sure you SAVE the receipt (even when buying a Coke at a cart)
. . . make sure the register person depresses the Clear Folio button

sounds like a very temporary issue - surely disney has control of their own POS software to put a fix in ASAP?
Simple solution would be when the total button is pressed it also calls the clear folio code.

I can see this as an easy fix, considering it should be simple enough that once a purchase is ended, the RFID system resets to its default state. Also, this problem would probably not occur if the next customer is also using RFID, or even credit for that matter since theyre all in one now and scanning a new card into the system would either override it or alert the cashier that two "cards" are being used. Now I know a lot of people still pay cash but it seems like an easy fix to me.

2) BUT, there was a trial at Epcot with errors.
. . . the trial lasted three days
. . . there were fewer errors on the 2nd and 3rd days
. . . but, there were still errors
3) They did not fix anything for the roll-out.
4) The system remains the same.
NOTE: Even with reduced errors, can you imagine the problem(s) when
even a few get through? Especially if someone has a debit card as their
KTTW charging. If they hit KTTW limit, the card could get hit, and it could
reduce their bank account severely. Once done, it takes 5-7 days to
reverse the bank account charge, and sometimes up to 2-weeks.
I may be a Disney curmudgeon but I still have Disney hope

Where and when does the guest reach his hand over at the store checkout to press the back of his wrist (with the wristband) to an RFID reader?
Alternatively, after audit, the cast member who rang up the purchases gets reprimanded (or cut from the cast) because three times he failed to press the Clear Folio button, namely after Fred's purchase, after Sue's purchase, and after Alfred's purchase.
I could not see a software bug like this staying around for very long.

I would imagine Disney would work on a fix on this problem ASAP.
This roll out is big news for them. This morning the whole system was a news story on a Boston news station, and in the Boston Globe. If they are making sure that news outlets around the country know about it and are announcing it for a springtime launch...they will make sure major glitches are solved....at least I hope so!

If the vendor says there was a glitch and it is the vendor's system then I say the customer is always right.

I think the OP is being a bit alarmist. If they and other trainees reported this, you did didn't you OP, then this goes a long way to fixing it. Also, being in IT you can have people being trained while you fix and improve your POS system. So I don't have my head in the sand about this but know when a company has an issue that will lose them money they do address it and Disney doesn't want to lose money.

I have to throw my two on this because of my experience doing billing at WDW...
The scupper is right that this could be a HUGE issue...and no, i have no faith in any easy fixes at WDW - at least not internally.
The "cast" make tens if not hundreds of thousand charge errors there a year. it is and has always been a major problem since they went to the resort charge system. And rectifying disputes is time consuming, inconvenient, and they have never devoted enough staffing, training time, or (frankly) concern to quality control when it comes to dealing with electronic charging/money.
Its a little dirty secret.
Now, I am 10 years past my "prime" when it comes to these things...so i can only hope that they have newer, better, more efficient ways of dealing with these things.
But just to give you a bit of techno history:
the resort system was DOS based until 2004 - i believe. DOS base systems were essentially eliminated on the front lines around 1995.
The resort reader system - Vingvision 2 - had been in practice for 5 years in major hotel chains before WDW adopted it. They have at least recently gone to the touch pads - but those are pretty simple devices these days.
The "windows" system that they use now...is probably very similar to the somewhat rudimentary one they implemented back in the last decade.
And remember - since almost all transactions are electronic now - there is no way or need to balance the registers - by and large - so mistakes go largely undetected at first and then are only noticed later and cause the need for more attention, fact gathering, credit adjustment later. That is not a staffing priority.
Think of one place on Earth where you can say that they care less about who you are when you charge and do it at such volume...all the while doing it in massively crowded areas surrounded by people from 200 different countries.
You probably won't find one. Credit fraud/ error is rampant - intentional and unintentional.
And don't forget training had gone (under my direct experience) from what was almost "months" to "a few days" in a very short amount of time. Hiring standards - due to lack of qualified, willing, or skilled candidates - fell with the training levels proportionally.
So could this be a huge problem - even if its counter intuitive?
You bet your rat's....
well...you get it.
The original poster doesn't tend to post these things lightly - i would give the benefit of the doubt that this has been thought out and is valid.
And some of the more experienced posters who offered the "quick fix" and "they'll figure it out"....who are you thinking of, exactly?
WDW is a large property - it has NEVER been a technologically competent property since perhaps EPCOT went on line. Everything put into place takes more time, costs a fortune, and often is poorly maintained or the victim of massive operator error.
Fast pass - worked - but it took forever to tweak
Dining system - worked - but they took forever to put it into e-form - and they bagged it in its best form (priority seating)
gps bus routing still doesn't work right - and its been 15 years in the making.
heck, now that i think about it - how long AFTER you could book a room online at marriot or holiday inn did it take for you to be able to get one at WDW?
5? 10 years?
Their own PRIVATE timeshare club has had that ability for a big fat 1-2 years...that's pretty pathetic.
My point is that don't assume that since this thing cost a fortune and certainly LOOKS cool ( i for one would volunteer to test it with any of its features wired to my swiss bank account (more like Canadian) at any moment - because this could ultimately lead to less staffing requirements that will allow more expansion/ offerings to the clientele) - doesn't mean that it wont have big flaws and problems that could take years to hash out.
And a final note on the "the employees will be reprimanded or fired if they screw up" sentiment...
That WDW is LONG gone...it was gone 20 years+ ago. The eisner expansion of the property never took into account how hard it would be to maintain a huge work force and keep the competent ones happy...it never assumed massive health care skyrockets - it never assumed that it would have to increase wages to keep quality people - so they abandoned that long ago.
WDW staff is just a staff - it is not "elite" by any stretch.
They could build an elite, comparatively low cost staff with the glut of young kids coming out of school with no professional job prospects these days - but they've yet to see how it could be done.
Until then, trust all warning about potential problems in the system - they aren't just random musings.

I understand all about legacy systems...until recently I had to keep a Windows 95 box running to run our door key entry system, because it couldn't be replaced without replacing all the readers, controllers, etc. It had been running (not continuously, mind you) for 15 years. And my dad brought me in to try and resurrect a computer that monitored one of the machines in a pulmonary function testing lab. It was a PS/2 running OS/2 - long after the PS/2 and it's MCA bus architecture died. But it couldn't be replaced without replacing the very expensive equipment as well.
Because no one writes drivers to support old hardware any more. They force you to upgrade everything.
And I'm not really questioning what Rusty says...I have long trusted his posts.
What I'm having a problem understanding is why this particular problem even exists.
I'm an IT guy with some experience in retail. I'm not familiar with any current Point-of-Sale design that keeps a "folio" open after the charge is made and authorized. And I don't see why it is desirable to do otherwise. Want to add something after the charge goes through? It's just another transaction.
The POS register should forget everything about the charge info once the transaction is authorized. And even if it didn't, when the next guest presents their band/card/whatever, it should use THAT for the current transaction.
If this is a common practice in retail it is idiotic and the retailers should be called out on it.

Congrats matt !!
Became a father as well early this year.... surely the most wonderfull thing in life :D
Well done you, My 5th baby is due in September. Its all good.
Congrats. takes lots of photos they change so much in the early months, and make sure you get sleep when the baby sleeps.
Try and take a picture of him in the same position every Sunday (or other nominated day) for the first year of his life. When he's older you will be amazed at the difference.
I have a picture blog for my 4 year old, I think there's over 5000 pictures on it. I wonder what he'll think about it when he's older :-)
Been take a load of videos at the moment, will have to start taking more photos tho. You gonna donate a mac to the "Darcy Mac Fund (DMF)" mac_shinobi?

Article on Paid Wikipedia Entries
This Capital Times article entitled, Wikipedia payment: Why the big deal? was today's Library Link of the Day.
Abstract: Gregory Kohs last year launched MyWikiBiz, a service that offered to write Wikipedia entries for businesses for $49 to $99. But a few days afterward, MyWikiBiz's account on Wikipedia was blocked. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales called Kohs to tell him MyWikiBiz was "antithetical" to Wikipedia's mission.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.
