I'm currently trying to lose fat and build/keep what muscle I have. I have a high bodyfat %, probably something around 40-45%.
I've lowered my daily calorie intake, and *just* started working out, and in the past I've only done cardio (hiking, walking, elliptical). I'm trying to add more weight training to my weekly work out so I won't lose what muscle I have along with the fat.
Since I can't afford my local gym, I've been doing body weight exercises. Currently my workout includes a circuit of:
lunges (x20), pushups (x10), squats (x20), dumbbell lifts (~20lbs) x10, jumping jacks (x35), planks (min. 20 seconds)
I try to go through this circuit 3 times without any breaks. And this weekend finally managed to do that. (Before I could only get through it twice without a break.)
I have a lot of fat to lose, so I'm figuring this is enough to at least get me started. But I wanted to get a second opinion... do you think this will at least help me NOT lose muscle and maybe even build some? I am very much in the dark when it comes to muscle workouts, but what little I've done I'm loving it. Any other exercises you can recommend are always helpful too!

Audience Reviews for Hotel Chevalier
This short is a great little introductory prelude to The Darjeeling Limited, but it works okay on its own, too. The brief narrative concerns a man in a hotel room who gets a visit from his estranged ex.
It's pretty much a two character piece, but it's amazing how strong this is, and it's only 13 minutes. The art direction and cinematography are wonderful. Schwartzman and Portman put in some terrific work, and Portman briefly gets naked, so, if you like that sort of thing, here it is.
I think Anderson should make more shorts because this is really good, and, given that it is limited by time, he is forced to be more creative and tell a whole story in a short amount of time. He's in somewhat of a rut as of recently, although Fantastic Mr. Fox did pull him out of it a bit. I think this sort of thing could really revitalize his career.
Give this a watch. It's really something.
Super Reviewer
She: Are you running away from me?
He: I thought I already did.
A Paris hotel room. A broken heart. Two ex-lovers.
Super Reviewer
It's an interesting short, but I don't feel that it really had any purpose outside it being an introduction to Darjeeling Limited. Sure it has Natalie Portman, but that's all it amounts to.More
Super Reviewer
Beautifully shot, Hotel Chevalier is a nice prologue to The Darjeeling Limited. Natalie Portman's Bottom makes a nice special guest appearance! ;o)More

The Power Of Proclaiming Your Frugality
Then, I once invited someone to go play laser tag, and they told me, "I can't afford that right now, sorry." And I didn't think it was rude, I thought it was refreshingly honest.
Giving someone a legitimate reason why you can't do something is actually quite considerate.
I thought my social life would suffer
Actually, I've found the opposite. If you're constantly making excuses for not going to costly events with your friends, they might think you just don't want to hang out with them. If you're honest about your budget, they'll know it's not them - it's your frugality. If you're meant to be closer friends, you'll find something more budget-friendly to do together. Actually, being honest about my finances has brought me closer to friends that I initially didn't know very well.
I was embarrassed
We all care what people think to some extent. We all have our Jonseses. Sometimes I still find it difficult to murmur the words, "Sorry, but I can't afford that." But what's the worst that happens? Your friends think you're broke? Big deal. We're not working toward financial independence to show off; we're doing it for ourselves. Also, everyone else is usually broke, too. Whether it's getting out of debt or saving money to buy a home - most of us are on a budget.
The benefits of proclaiming my frugality
Support from friendsWhen I started proclaiming my frugality to friends, I was surprised at how many of them were frugal, too. In the past, we might have complained about money, but we never actually discussed frugality. But being honest about my budgeted lifestyle opened up a new bond with many of my friends. They started giving me personal finance advice, they started sending me great shopping deals, etc. Also, they started reading my blog posts on Get Rich Slowly and giving me feedback. That was an added bonus.
Swapping frugality tipsAnother benefit to being open and honest about my frugality is that I've been learning a lot. My friends and I swap frugal living hacks and tips, and it's always interesting to learn how other people work with their budget.
I stopped doing things I didn't really want to doI've never particularly enjoyed going to the movies with friends, unless it's a movie I've been waiting to see. That's just my personal preference - I don't like spending 20 bucks to sit there quietly with a friend for two hours. I'd rather engage in a conversation, and, usually, it's a movie I'd rather wait to watch on Netflix (or not watch at all). Of course I realize that lots of people feel differently, and many of my friends love going to the movies. I just don't; I never have. Yet I've seen Horrible Bosses and Transformers in the theater just because that's what my friends wanted to do. So now, when I'm asked to go see movies I'm not thrilled about, I tell friends I'm saving my entertainment budget for something else - maybe another movie, maybe a concert. And it's not an excuse; it's true! I save myself from doing something I don't particularly want to do, and most importantly, I'm not blowing my budget just to be affable.
Staying within my budgetObviously, the biggest benefit to proclaiming my frugality is that it's been good for my budget. Friends are not only respectful about my financial goals, they're helpful and supportive, too. It's easy to keep a budget when you fully make your budget part of your life.

This wonderful piece is from the 1920-30's and is in excellent vintage condition. Mauve pink and measuring 3 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 inches high, this promises to draw the eye with its delicate beauty. Some of these pieces are made in Italy and England and some here in the U.S.A but without the original tag, it is hard for to identify the area of origin. That said, no matter the maker this is a fine example of quilted satin glass complete with pontil. We are pleased to offer it for your consideration.

So, despite appearances, these guys aren't goofing off in front of a computer screen. They're hard at work.
Or maybe not. Taking into account Porter's obsessive enthusiasm for his work, made obvious by the unmade cot in his office, and John Carmack's coding into the night, this is more than a job to these guys. Asking about hobbies or outside interests is pointless. Their job is their hobby; and their hobby is their life. They're like ice-cream gourmets who earn their living creating new flavors.
The booming gun blasts and screams of monsters continue, as the game testers yet again rid earth of alien invaders who want to mate with our women. They're hard at play so others will be less inclined to be hard at work.

Montage Investments Adds $4 Billion In 2012 And Surpasses $1 Billion In Mutual Fund Assets
LEAWOOD, Kan., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Montage Investments today reported that assets at the firm's affiliated investment managers increased from $9 billion to more than $13 billion in 2012, following $2 billion of growth in 2011.

Police: Woman shoplifted from three stores in two daysJune 19,2014Police say woman stole from 3 stores
BENNINGTON A local woman is facing three misdemeanor charges of petty larceny after police said she stole items from three local stores in two days in May.
Jennifer A. Brandmeyer, 25, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charges in Bennington criminal court Monday and was released without bail.
The charges against Brandmeyer were based on two affidavits, both written by Officer Keith Diotte of the Bennington Police Department.
In one, Diotte said he was dispatched May 26 to Cumberland Farms on Northside Drive in Bennington.
Based on information provided by a clerk at the store and his viewing of surveillance video later, Diotte said he believed Brandmeyer stole a 12-pack of beer.
In the second affidavit, Diotte said he was dispatched May 27 to Payless Shoe Store in Bennington Square shopping center in Bennington. A clerk at the store said she saw Brandmeyer take shoes and leave without paying for them.
Diotte said police later learned Brandmeyer had taken sunglasses and said the total amount of merchandise taken from Payless was a little more than $50.
When police arrested Brandmeyer, she also had items from JCPenney, which is in the same shopping center as Payless. The items from JCPenneys totaled about $380 according to the affidavit.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StorySEOUL, South Korea North Korea has compared President Barack Obama to a monkey and blamed the U.S. Full Story

Extreme example? Why have drink-driving laws when you can "educate" (that'll be up to the poor old beleagured parents again) someone on why you shouldnt drink and drive?
You can educate children as much as you like, and goodness knows I am NOT an advocate of the nanny state - but sometimes people need protecting from themselves. Have you ever tried to tell an impressionable 15 year old anything? They don't listen, and if you are a parent, they don't listen even more!
I don't know how this could be managed and I would worry about it being morphed into something else, but having seen the sort of sites that are out there, I do believe that something needs to be done.

The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease invites you to join PFCD Policy Director Candace DeMatteis and a panel of experts as they discuss the healthcare exchange in Iowa and how it affects patients in the state living with chronic disease.
To RSVP, email Nate Prouty at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join us for a provocative healthcare discussion hosted by the national Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease. While enjoying a complimentary breakfast, learn from health policy experts, physicians and patient advocates how the ACA is impacting the accessibility and affordability of healthcare in California - and what patient protections must be addressed in 2015.
Please join us in welcoming Ken Thorpe, Ph.D. Chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease and co-director of Emory Center on Health Outcomes and Quality as he updates us on ongoing national efforts to address disease prevention and the treatment of chronic disease in the new healthcare exchanges.
Chronic, non-communicable diseases now account for more than 83 percent of the $3.8 trillion the US spends on health care. Not surprisingly the percentage is significantly higher among Medicare patients, with an increasing number of patients suffering from multiple chronic conditions.
The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease joins with local Oregon leaders in the fight against chronic disease -- featuring the Oregon Medical Association, American Diabetes Association and One in Four Chronic Health -- to host an interactive discussion forum in Portland, Oregon, to examine the social and economic impact of chronic disease and explore efforts underway to solve this public health epidemic.
Luncheon discussion regarding the obesity and its impact on the U.S. economy and health with an emphasis on Washington state. The event will examine work that is being done on a local level, national trends, and the role of government in this arena.
A panel discussion will feature:
During a lifetime, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer. Medical advances allowing earlier diagnosis and less taxing treatment regimens have not only extended survival, but also enabled cancer patients to remain at work during treatment.
Employers play a major role in helping cancer patients and survivors stay gainfully employed during and after treatment, but many admit needing help navigating the many sensitive issues that arise. Understanding the personal, employment, and legal issues involved can be a challenge to navigate raising many policy implications.
Did you know that more than 3 out 4 federal workers has at least one chronic condition? That less than a third is currently being treated? That productivity losses just for the federal workforce amount to more than $6 billion a year and the equivalent of 26,000 people not showing up at work each day? The costs of chronic diseases clearly extend well beyond the costs of medical care.
Healthy company cultures drive productivity and engagement. With these issues and healthcare costs directly impacting the bottom line, National Employee Wellness Month highlights the workplace's role in helping create healthy employees, and how they'll mold a better business. This important month helps business leaders learn how to successfully engage employees by creating healthy cultures that improve their well-being while boosting engagement and productivity and lowering healthcare costs.

Besides working together on The Watch, Levy directed Stiller in both Night at the Museum movies–with Hill cameoing in the second one–and though the plot for the comedy is being kept secret, the script is being written by Nicholas Stoller, who directed Hill in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek.
The decision on whether all three of the primaries will come together for this comedy will rely heavily on Stoller's script.

Eve Adams For Mayor? Mysterious Poll Raises Eyebrows In Mississauga
A mysterious new poll is raising questions about whether controversial Tory MP Eve Adams is considering a run for mayor of Mississauga.
Late last week, some Mississauga residents — including many Liberal supporters — received calls asking who they were most likely to support for mayor: former Liberal MP Steve Mahoney, councillor and former Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie, or Adams, the current Mississauga—Brampton South Conservative MP.
Mahoney and Crombie, who succeeded Adams on city council after she made the jump to federal politics in 2011, are both declared candidates and the clear front-runners in the race. A recent poll had them neck-and-neck.
No one is sure who is behind the calls or why Adams' name is being bandied about.
A Conservative source told The Huffington Post Canada Monday that Adams has no plans to join the race to replace 93-year-old 'Hurricane' Hazel McCallion, who will retire in October after more than 35 years as mayor.
Mahoney told HuffPost he isn't behind the calls and doesn't think Adams is mulling a bid.
"I've since talked to people who are close to her and they tell me that she really is ill," he said.
Mahoney was also quick to point out that Adams doesn't live in Mississauga.
"I'd welcome her to the race if she wants to run but she does live in Oakville, so it seems kind of strange to me," he said.
Crombie also told HuffPost by email she didn't commission the poll and has not heard about Adams potentially running but would welcome her "return" to Mississauga.
"My campaign did not commission this poll, nor would we have included Eve in any of our polls as I understood she was looking to make her career in Oakville," Crombie said.
Adams announced nearly three weeks ago that, due to health reasons, she was quitting a bitter Conservative nomination fight in the new riding of Oakville North—Burlington.
"I continue to suffer from my concussion and the time has come to take my health seriously," she explained in a 742-word email to supporters on Aug. 1.
The MP slipped outside an Ottawa deli and suffered a grade-2 concussion in late February, Maclean's reported.
Conservatives postponed a nomination vote in Oakville North—Burlington, scheduled for May 24, after both Adams and chiropractor Natalia Lishchyna lobbed accusations of political impropriety at each other. Lishchyna later exited the nomination race as well.
But Adams could face a rocky reception if she aims to return to municipal politics.
The MP currently lives in Oakville with fiancé Dimitri Soudas, who lost his job as executive director of the Conservative Party after meddling in her nomination battle.
Though she was elected to Mississauga city council in 2003, won again in 2006 and was re-elected in 2010, Adams resigned just a year later to run for the Tories.
Ward 9 Coun. Pat Saito suggested in an email to HuffPost that the MP would have a difficult time making a case to lead the city, in light of the way she left.
"Ms. Adams made it clear she was more interested in the federal level of government and having cost the taxpayers a half million dollars in a by-election, she would have a tough time coming back to Mississauga Council with any credibility," Saito wrote.
Adding to the mystery, Ward 11 Coun. George Carlson told HuffPost that several of his "Liberal friends" have received the calls, leading him to concluded the poll is targeting Grit supporters.
"Whoever is doing it, and I don't know if it's (Adams), but they're working a Liberal list," he said. "It's too coincidental that half a dozen, old-time Liberals all got calls on the same day. That's not a random poll. Somebody's working a list somewhere."
Carlson said it could be Adams testing the waters to see if some Liberals would support her or another camp wondering how her entry may change the race, particularly among past Grit supporters. But somebody is paying to ask the question and that's typically a prelude to something, he said.
Adams was always seen as mayor material when she sat on council, he said, but the decision to go federal and then to pursue a new riding outside of Mississauga means she would be in for an "uphill" battle if she ran for mayor.
But Carlson also suggested Adams could be stuck. He said he is willing to bet his house that former Liberal MP Navdeep Bains, who is running in the new riding of Mississauga—Malton in 2015 after losing to Adams in the last federal election, will win that seat in a landslide. He thinks Adams wasn't wrong to shop for a more Tory-friendly riding in which to run.
"My suspicion is that she looked around, decided there's really nowhere for her to run federally so, what would happen if I run for mayor? But I don't have any proof of that," he said.
Carlson doesn't believe Adams' potential return to Mississauga would be triumphant.
"'The Eve Show' overshadows any good that she could do (but) it doesn't stop her from wanting to run," he said.
"It's all about Eve, for sure, but I just don't know how you un-ring that bell."
The deadline to register for the municipal election is Sept. 12. Mississauga voters head to the polls on Oct. 27.

UP NEXT: How Much Are Federal Politicians Making?
On April 1, 2014, members of Parliament received a 2.2 per cent pay increase, bringing the basic pay of each MP up to $163,700 from $160,200 the year prior. But while that base salary is the same for every member, certain MPs are afforded the chance to make much more. The full list of indemnities, salaries and allowances can be found here.
Tory MP Brad Butt (Mississauga-Streetsville) is an example of an MP who earns just the base salary afforded to all MPs. 2014 Salary: $163,700 There are currently 308 MPs.

Tory MP Peter Van Loan (York-Simcoe) earns $78,300 on top of the base MP salary. 2014 Salary: $242,000 Car Allowance: $2,000
NDP MP Peter Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster) earns the base MP salary plus a $40,600 pay bump for serving as Opposition House leader. 2014 Salary: $204,300 Former NDP House leader Nathan Cullen recently took a $40,000 pay cut to move from that role to NDP finance critic.

"The Fair Elections Act will ensure everyday citizens are in charge of democracy, by putting special interests on the sidelines and rule-breakers out of business," says Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre. Read more about the Fair Elections Act here.
The legislation proposes a mandatory public registry for mass automated election calls, jail time for those convicted of impersonating an elections official, and "increased penalties for deceiving people out of their votes."
In the interest of cracking down on voter fraud, the bill would prohibit the practice whereby one Canadian vouches for another's identity at a polling station. In fact, voter information cards will no longer be accepted as proof of identity. But the government says voters will still have 39 forms of authorized ID to choose from in order to prove their identity and residence.
The Commissioner of Canada Elections office, responsible for enforcing the elections law, will be moved under the mantle of the public prosecutor's office, not Elections Canada. Conservatives believe this will give the commissioner more independence as the Chief Electoral Officer will no longer be able to direct him to carry out investigations. In future, the commissioner would be appointed by the director of public prosecutions to a non-renewable, seven-year term. The legislation also bars former political candidates, political party employees, ministerial or MP staffers or employees of Elections Canada from being named commissioner. Tories believe the legislation will give the commissioner "sharper teeth" and a "longer reach" to seek out stronger penalties for offences.
The ceiling for individual political donations would be raised to $1,500 from $1,200 and party spending limits would be increased by five per cent. Union and corporate donations are still banned, though.
A long-standing ban on the premature transmission of election results will be lifted, meaning voters in Western Canada will get to know how things are shaping up out East before heading to the polls. Broadcasters can share results from Eastern Canada on election night, even if the polls aren't closed in the West. The government believes this change will uphold free speech.
The legislation would raise the amount candidates can contribute to their own campaigns to $5,000. Leadership contestants will be allowed to give their own campaign up to $25,000.

Josephine Mutzenbacher – The Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself (German: Josefine Mutzenbacher – Die Lebensgeschichte Einer Wienerischen Dirne, Von Ihr Selbst Erzählt) is an erotic novel first published anonymously in Vienna, Austria in 1906. The novel is famous[1][2][3][4][5][6] in the German-speaking world, having been in print in both German and English for over 100 years and sold over 3 million copies,[7][8] becoming an erotic bestseller.[9][10][11][12]
Although no author claimed responsibility for the work, it was originally attributed to either Felix Salten or Arthur Schnitzler by the librarians at the University of Vienna.[13] Today, critics, scholars, academics and the Austrian Government designate Salten, author of the book Bambi, A Life in the Woods (which Walt Disney purchased in 1942 and made into the world famous animated cartoon Bambi) as the sole author of the "pornographic classic", Josephine Mutzenbacher.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The novel has been translated into English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Dutch, Japanese, Swedish and Finnish, and been the subject of numerous films, theater productions, parodies, and university courses, as well as two sequels.
The plot device employed in Josephine Mutzenbacher is that of first-person narrative, structured in the format of a memoir. The story is told from the point of view of an accomplished aging 50-year-old Viennese courtesan who is looking back upon the sexual escapades she enjoyed during her unbridled youth in Vienna. Contrary to the what the title indicates, almost the entirety of the book takes place when Josephine is between the ages of 5–12 years old, before she actually becomes a licensed prostitute in the brothels of Vienna. The book begins when she is five years old and ends when she is twelve years old and about to enter professional service in a brothel.
Although the book makes use of many "euphemisms" for human anatomy and sexual behavior that seem quaint today, its content is entirely pornographic. The actual progression of events amounts to little more than a graphic, unapologetic description of the reckless sexuality exhibited by the heroine, all before reaching her 13th year. The style bears more than a passing resemblance to the Marquis de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom in its unabashed "laundry list" cataloging of all manner of taboo sexual antics from incest, rape and homosexuality to child prostitution, group sex and fellatio.
The Mutzenbacher Decision (Case BVerfGE 83,130) was a ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany on 27 November 1990 concerning whether or not the novel Josephine Mutzenbacher should be placed on a list of youth-restricted media. However, the significance of the case came to eclipse Josephine Mutzenbacher as an individual work, because it set a precedent as to which has a larger weight in German Law: Freedom of Expression or The Protection of the Youth.
"Pornography and Art are not Mutually Exclusive"
In Germany there is a process known as Indizierung (indexing). The "Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien" (BPjM) ("Federal testing department for media harmful to youths") collates books, movies, video games and music that could be harmful to young people because they contain violence, pornography, Nazism, hate speech or similar dangerous content. The items are placed on the "Liste jugendgefährdender Medien" ("list of youth-endangering media"). Items that are "indexed" (placed on the list) cannot be bought by anyone under 18.
When an item is placed on the list, it is not allowed to be sold at regular bookstores or retailers that young people have access to, nor is it allowed to be advertised in any manner. An item that is placed on the list becomes very difficult for adults to access as a result of these restrictions. The issue underlying the Mutzenbacher Decision is not whether the book is legal for adults to buy, own, read, and sell – that is not disputed. The case concerns whether the intrinsic merit of the book as a work of art supersedes the potential harm its controversial contents could have on the impressionable minds of minors and whether or not it should be "indexed". However, an important distinction needs to be made: A piece of media that has been "indexed" has not been banned, censored or denied to adult consumers in any official way.
In the 1960s, two separate publishing houses made reprints of the original 1906 Josephine Mutzenbacher. In 1965 Dehli Publishers of Copenhagen, Denmark published a two volume edition, and in 1969 the German publisher Rogner and Bernhard printed another edition. The "Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien" (BPjM) ("Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons") placed Josephine Mutzenbacher on its "Liste jugendgefährdender Medien" ("list of youth-endangering media"), commonly called "the index", after two criminal courts declared the pornographic contents of book obscene. The BPJM maintained that the book was pornographic and dangerous to minors because it contained explicit descriptions of sexual promiscuity, child prostitution, and incest as its exclusive subject matter, and promoted these activities as positive, insigificant, and even humorous behaivors in a manner devoid of any artistic value. The BPjM stated that the contents of the book justified it being placed on the "list of youth-endangering media" so that its availability to minors would be restricted. In 1978 a third publishing house attempted to issue a new version of Josephine Mutzenbacher that included a foreword and omitted the "glossary of Viennese Prostitution Terms" from the original 1906 version. The BPjM again placed Josephine Mutzenbacher on its "list of youth-endangering media" and the Rowohlt Publishing house filed an appeal with The Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court of Germany) on the grounds that Josephine Mutzenbacher was a work of art that minors should not be restricted from reading.
On 27 November 1990 The Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court of Germany) made what is now known as "The Mutzenbacher Decision". The Court prefaced their verdict by referring to two other seminal freedom of expression cases from previous German Case Law, the Mephisto Decision and the Anachronistischer Decision. The court ruled that under the German Grundgesetz (constitution) chapter about Kunstfreiheit (Freedom of art) the novel Josephine Mutzenbacher was both pornography and art, and that the former is not necessary and sufficient to deny the latter. In plain English, even though the contents of Josephine Mutzenbacher are pornographic, they are still considered art and in the process of "indexing" the book, the aspect of freedom of art has to be considered. The court's ruling forced the BPjM to temporarily remove the Rowohlt edition of Josephine Mutzenbacher from its "list of youth-endangering media". This edition was added to the list again in 1992 in a new decision of the BPjM which considered the aspect of freedom of art, but deemed the aspect of protecting children to be more important. Later editions of the book by other publishers were not added to the list.
Two novels, also written anonymously, which present a continuation of the original Josephine Mutzenbacher, have been written. However, they are not generally ascribed to Felix Salten.
In 2000 the Austrian writer Franzobel published the novel "Scala Santa oder Josefine Wurznbachers Höhepunkt" (Scala Santa or Josefine Wurznbachers High Point). The title's similarity to Josephine Mutzenbacher, being only two letters different, is a play on words that is not just coincidence.[24] The book's content is derivative as well, telling the story of the character "Pepi Wurznbacher" and her first sexual experience at age six.[25][26] The name "Pepi Wurznbacher" is directly taken from the pages of Josephine Mutzenbacher; "Pepi" was Josephine Mutzenbacher's nickname in the early chapters.[27][28] Franzobel has commented that he wanted his novel to be a retelling of the Josephine Mutzenbacher story set in modern day.[29][30] He simply took the characters, plot elements and setting from Josephine Mutzenbacher and reworked them into a thoroughly modernized version that occurs in the 1990s.[31] He was inspired to write the novel after being astounded at both the prevalence of child abuse stories in the German Press and having read Josephine Mutzenbacher's blatantly unapologetic depiction of the same.[32]
Josephine Mutzenbacher has been included in several university courses and symposium.[33]

The Viennese a cappella quartet 4she regularly performs a cabaret musical theatre production based on Josephine Mutzenbacher called "The 7 Songs of Josefine Mutzenbacher" ("Die 7 Lieder der Josefine Mutzenbacher"). The show is a raunchy, humorous parody of the novel, set in a brothel, that runs approximately 75 minutes.[5][34][35][36][37][38][39]
In 2002 the German actor Jürgen Tarrach and the jazz group CB-funk performed a live rendetion of the texts of Josephine Mutzenbacher and Shakespeare set to modern music composed by Bernd Weißig and arranged by the Pianist Detlef Bielke of the Günther-Fischer-Quintett at the Kalkscheune in Berlin.[40][41][42]
In January 2005, Austrian actress Ulrike Beimpold gave several comedy cabaret live performances of the text of Josephine Mutzenbacher at the Auersperg15-Theater in Vienna, Austria.[43]
In an event organized by the Jazzclub Regensburg, Werner Steinmassl held a live musical reading of Josephine Mutzenbacher, accompanied by Andreas Rüsing, at the Leeren Beutel Concert Hall in Ratisbon, Bavaria, Germany called "Werner Steinmassl reads Josefine Mutzenbacher" on 3 September 2005.[44][45]
Both the original Josephine Mutzenbacher and the two "continuations" are available as spoken word audio CDs read by Austrian Actress Ulrike Beimpold:
In 1997 Helmut Qualtinger released "Fifi Mutzenbacher", a parody, on audio CD:
The Jewish Museum of Vienna displayed an exhibit at the Palais Eskeles called "Felix Salten: From Josephine Mutzenbacher to Bambi" where the life and work of Felix Salten was on display, which ran from December 2006 to March 2007. Austrian State Parliament Delegate Elisabeth Vitouch appeared for the opening of the exhibit at Jewish Museum Vienna and declared: "Everyone knows Bambi and Josefine Mutzenbacher even today, but the author Felix Salten is today to a large extent forgotten".[20][46][47]

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
At the Barnes and Noble music counter, there's a teenage guy working there that every girl on this planet seems to be after. And when I was there yesterday, he was flirting with me mercilessly and it was getting me really p*ssed off. I couldn't think of any way to get rid of him and he kept rambling on about how pop culture is every nail in his coffin, etcetera, etcetera. In other words, stuff no one wants to hear.
Then I got a genius idea to get him to leave me alone. It was devious, probably insulting to the musical artist in question, and very, very effective.
"I was just looking for William Shatner's 'Has Been.' Do you carry it?"
I could have fluttered my eyelashes and winked at him for the rest of the day if I'd wanted to. There was no way he wanted me now.
William Shatner is sort of an iconoclastic figure of everything kitschy. I'm sure that Hello Kitty and Vanilla Ice worship him (or else they're really serious, which would be even funnier). Anyone who buys his CDs loses all hope of being a card-carrying member of the Indie Elitist Society. Anyone who watches "Star Trek" is immediately labeled a thirty-eight year old man who lives in his parents' basement and worships William Shatner. And part of this is the Shatner in question's fault. I mean, Jesus Christ...he covered "Mr. Tambourine Man"! You just don't touch "Mr. Tambourine Man."
And if that's a role you think would drive him insane, you've got another thing coming. You need only look at his little...performance on late night TV. "Get a life!" was his kind, heartfelt message to Trekkies everywhere. "You guys are obsessed!" He's completely washed-up and, what is more, he couldn't be having more fun.
But wait...what about talent? Kitsch is all well and good and can last some "artists" a lifetime, but what about art?
Well, that's where "Has Been" comes in. To kick the American, Shatner-hating, sneering public in the behind, that is.
The keyboard-driven opener, a cover of Pulp's hit "Common People," certainly kicked ME in the behind the way I've never been behind-kicked before. I mean, let's be honest here: I bought this CD to get rid of a lecherous teenage salesman and planned on returning it to the store, but I read a couple reviews that made this seem like a masterpiece and decided I wanted to hear it. And let me tell you, if you've never heard the once-Captain Kirk bellowing "You'll never FAIL like common people!" alongside piano pop artiste Ben Folds, you haven't really lived.
"It Hasn't Happened Yet" is a slow, thoughtful number, something you really wouldn't expect from Shatner. It isn't really one of the stronger tracks on the album and it's not one of the most memorable, but it does show his speaking range: he brings an air of sorrow and melancholy to the song simply through his hushed whisper.
After I've been humbled into thinking maybe this guy's really got something, he comes out with...a gospel number? What in the hell? "You'll Have Time" opens with a groaning organ and his drawling voice pointing out that you should "live live like you're gonna die...because you're GONNA. Hate to be the bearer of BAD NEWS." We all remember him as Captain Kirk, the king of hammish enunciation. Now he's William Shatner, the king of hammish enunciation that actually works. His voice is warm and rich, the kind we all want to hear on the other end of the telephone once in awhile instead of "Hello, we've got a great offer for you!"
Then there's another song not written by Shatner, but by some guy named Nick Hornby (I'm going to feel really stupid when you all know who he is and I don't, by the way, so pretend you don't know). The song is called "That's Me Trying," a tale of love that didn't quite last told by a sentimental, weary Shatner. The man has so many moods it's easy to believe he's an actor. Everything on here is very theatrical and it absolutely works.
"What Have You Done" is definitely a masterpiece of low maintenance music, featuring Shatner's pensive and very frank tale of his wife's death over a solid bass rhythm and nothing else. He seems to be very resigned about the whole...I hate to say ordeal, but that's the way he tells the story: as though it were all a big mess.
The next song is a lovely little ballad called "Familiar Love," which, although not particularly memorable, is very easy on the ears. It's another exhibit of Shatner's versatility--he would be a great addition to a rock opera just because he could take on the guise of any character and make himself believable. "Together" is the only song here which I can definitely say I don't like, and I'm actually not sure why.
And then he goes back to being irrepressible and completely insane on "Ideal Woman," a declaration of love at all costs. "I just want you to be you," he tells the woman, rolling his voice around every word the way he always has. Only before it sounded really stupid and hammish; here it's very fitting.
On "Has Been" the ever-stranger Shatner decides to take every single cliche about Western movie theme songs, stick it into one song, and tell the tale of a man going to war against hypocrites of the West. Yes, that is what I said: going to war against hypocrites of the West. That's not a sentence you're going to be reading often.
"I Can't Get Behind That" is a giant pile of quotes just waiting to be used as eccentric teenager's away messages (check mine one of these days, you'll see). My favorite thing that William Shatner (and guest star Henry Rollins) seemingly just can't understand is "so called singers that can't carry a tune and get paid for talking, how easy is that?" It doesn't take rocket science to see who he's talking about on that one.
"Real" reminds me of what a Tim McGraw song would sound like if Tim McGraw had any talent whatsoever. There's a light country melody in the background, and a country-pop guest star named Brad Paisley. The song is an ode to Shatner's being...well...real. Like we really needed that. He convinced me of it ten songs ago.
I can see the more closed-minded among you thinking this is another kitsch classic in the making. Hell, I can even understand that. But let me tell you: you decide not to buy it, you're missing out.
I brought this CD out on a date to make the poor guy in question listen to it. He scoffed and sneered at the fact that "Shatner's still even alive...and not living under a rock somewhere." But I didn't smack his shoulder the way I would normally.
Because I saw his toes tapping.

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly inching towards a deal to return to "American Idol." A source tells "People" the superstar is "very close" to signing a deal with Fox, and both parties are "very happy" and "want it to happen very much."
The source also knocked down recent reports that Lopez had been rejected by "Idol's" rival show "The Voice." Earlier this week it had been rumored that NBC has turned down the star when she approached them about both performing and becoming a coach.
Apparently, it was NBC who asked Lopez to perform on its finale earlier this year, and she was the one who turned them down due to "scheduling conflicts."
The source adds that Lopez wants to return to "Idol" so she can spend more time with her family and pursue acting projects now that her world tour is over.

Updated Feb 20, 2013 - 10:57 am
Pistorius applied for licenses for 6 more guns
Originally published: Feb 20, 2013 - 10:57 am
JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Oscar Pistorius applied for firearm licenses for six more guns weeks before the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp inside his house on Feb. 14, according to official records obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The applications were made on Jan. 22, just over three weeks before Pistorius shot his girlfriend dead in his home with a licensed 9 mm pistol.
The athlete says the killing of Steenkamp was accidental as he thought she was a dangerous intruder inside his bathroom. Prosecutors say the double-amputee athlete intended to kill his girlfriend and have charged him with premediated murder.
In details obtained from the South African Police Service's National Firearms Center and given over the telephone, Pistorius applied for licenses for a Smith & Wesson model 500 revolver, a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, a Vector .223-caliber rifle and three shotguns: A Mossberg shotgun, a Maverick shotgun and a Winchester shotgun.
The details were given to the AP by two separate officials at the government department. They refused to give their names because they were not authorized to speak to the media, although the records are available to the public.
Pistorius registered the 9 mm handgun used in the Valentine's Day killing for self-defense, the firearm center officials said. The six outstanding applications listed those guns for Pistorius' private collection.
The six recent firearm license applications were sent back to a police and firearms station in Johannesburg to be reapplied for on Monday, four days after Steenkamp's killing, the officials said. No reasons were given why the applications were sent back to be refiled.
Pistorius' license for the 9 mm Parabellum pistol that was used in Steenkamp's shooting was issued to Pistorius on Sept. 10, 2010 on appeal after an initial application in 2008 was rejected. One of the officials said the rejection was procedural as Pistorius had passed his competency test and had no criminal record.
The 9 mm pistol license card was printed on Sept. 16, 2010 and received by Pistorius on Sept. 27, 2010, the officials said.
Under South Africa's strict gun laws, you need a license for every firearm you own. An applicant must undergo a competency test _ which includes gun safety training _ before a license can be issued.
Pistorius would also have had to provide three character referees, one of the firearms center officials said, one of whom must be a family member and one of whom must be a neighbor.

Bosnian Serb sentenced to 31 years for genocide
January 25, 2012 - 10:35 AM
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnia's war crimes court has confirmed a 31-year prison sentence for a former Bosnian Serb police officer convicted of genocide.
Judges found that Radomir Vukovic participated in the execution of over 1,000 men — part of the notorious Serb massacre of some 8,000 Muslim Bosniaks from the east Bosnian town of Srebrenica in July 1995.
The court sentenced Vukovic in 2010 but he appealed the ruling. The verdict was confirmed Wednesday by the appeals chamber and cannot be challenged anymore.

CLAIM: Taylor Swift Tried To Hook Up With Bradley Cooper, Only To Be Rejected
By Daniel Gates | 7:20 pm, January 15th, 2013
Taylor Swift "desperately wants to date" Bradley Cooper, but "he's just not that into her!" claims RadarOnline, trying to fashion a bogus non-story into something sensational.
The webloid says it's "exclusively" learned that Swift is trying to hook up with Cooper, supposedly asking his Silver Linings Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence to set them up.
But it was not to be.
According to RadarOnline, when Lawrence asked Cooper about Swift, he "said he wasn't interested and that she was too young for him!"
"Bradley has absolutely no intention of getting together with Taylor," a so-called "source" tells the outlet, explaining, "First of all, her reputation precedes her. Bradley is very way of dating someone who is a bit of a serial dater like Taylor."
The blog's source adds, "He thinks she's far too young for him and wants to date someone his own age, not 16-years young because he's ready for something serious."
"It was a little awkward for Bradley. Jennifer came to him and told him that Taylor was interested in getting together," the source tells RadarOnline. "He had to politely decline, knowing full well that Jennifer and Taylor are friends."
Here's what happened: None of this.
RadarOnline saw Cooper shoot down rumors that he and Lawrence were dating, in part, he joked, because "I could be her father."
So the webloid, which previously concocted a false story about Cooper rejecting Dita Von Teese's advances, decided it was safe to publish a similar report claiming he'd spurned Swift.
Because Cooper and Swift are not hooking up, RadarOnline manufactured a juicy-sounding narrative in which she'd "desperately" gone after him, only to be denied.
It's 100 percent false.
A rep for Cooper tells Gossip Cop, "There is no truth to this story at all."
And sources close to Taylor and Lawrence also say it's made up.
We look forward to more so-called RadarOnline "exclusives" about things not happening.

Julian & der Fux "Unglaublich (MOTSA Remix)"
- Words: Melkorka Licea
- Photo: Julian Mullan
- Label: Jhruza
Vienna-based newcomer MOTSA (a.k.a. Valerio Dittrich, pictured above) has given local duo Julian & der Fux's recently released "Unglaublich" track (meaning "incredible," when translated from German) a punchy new makeover. Lifted from the pair's Hin Und Weg EP, MOTSA's remix immediately distinguishes itself from the understated original version with booming doses of live-played percussion driving the track in its new form. The rework then cranks up the pace further with wide-reaching detuned synth lines that bring the song to a new intensity before it eventually finishes off on a lighter note. "Unglaublich (MOTSA Remix)" will be released in digital and vinyl formats via the Jhruza label this Friday.

- 0Jun 16, '10 by dream_girlI received an e-mail earlier on today saying that I'm accepted now!!! I can't wait to meet you all this coming September!
- 0Jun 16, '10 by cinnamonlatteCongrats!!!
- 0Jun 16, '10 by dream_girlThanks!! This is so exciting!
- 0Jun 29, '10 by cinnamonlatteHi there,
Just a quick question, is there anyone who is also ordering the stethoscope online (along with the scrubs)?
- 0Jun 30, '10 by dream_girlHi cinnamonlatte,
I didn't order the stethescope online but I phoned them to add it in along with the scrubs that I ordered, since I got an e-mail saying that the stethescope originally wasn't showing up online.
- 0Jul 10, '10 by cinnamonlatteIs everyone registered?
- 0Jul 11, '10 by springsheenFor the 2010-2011 class, are they still getting the scrubs (and suggested equipment) from Aloft? Last year, many of the students had problems with some of the equipments (e.g. blood pressure cuffs were broken, the stethoscopes were not comfortable, scissors came rusted, etc.).
And for those of you on the waitlist, last year about 15 people got off the waitlist, and that's with 90 spots. So, with 120 people to be admitted this year, I can only assume more than 15 will be accepted off the waitlist.
