Pennzoil® Drives Vehicle Donation For Paralyzed Veterans Of America
HOUSTON, Oct. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Pennzoil ® is honored to announce the donation of three retrofitted Toyota vehicles to three deserving veterans as part of the continued relationship between Pennzoil and Paralyzed Veterans of America. The 2013 Toyota Sienna XLE vans were unveiled and presented to the veterans prior to the 500-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. Each veteran recipient received a vehicle of their choosing, retrofitted to their specific need.

Now in the second year of commitment to Paralyzed Veterans of America's, "Mission: ABLE" campaign, Pennzoil once again retrofitted vehicles for injured veterans so that these honorees can reclaim their freedom and love of driving. Pennzoil donated $250,000 to Paralyzed Veterans of America in 2013, $150,000 of which went to retrofit vehicles for injured veterans, which allows these heroes to revive their independence and love of cars. The recipients of these retrofitted vehicles were selected through the "Love Your Car" program as coordinated by Paralyzed Veterans of America.
"We are proud to work with Pennzoil as they give our deserving veterans the opportunity to drive again, which is a major step toward re-establishing their way of life," said
Bill Lawson, national president of Paralyzed Veterans of America. "By supporting Mission: ABLE through retrofitted vehicle donations, Pennzoil is helping re-instill that sense of freedom for veterans who are physically unable to drive a standard automobile."
The Recipients "Helping veterans get back on the road and regain their sense of independence is a powerful feeling and was an overall rewarding activation for the brand," said Bree Sandlin, Pennzoil Global Brand Manager. "We couldn't be more pleased to recognize three deserving veterans again this year and get them back in the driver's seat and on their way to reigniting their love of the car."

The Obama administration is taking a small step toward reaching the president's goal of closing Guantanamo Bay.
The Defense Department announced Thursday that it transferred Ahmed Belbacha, 44, from the Cuban detention center to the government of Algeria.
Belbacha was determined to be a "probable member" of al-Qaida, including attending a Qaida-backed training camp and having associations with terrorist organizations, according to a leaked assessment from the Pentagon's Joint Task Force at Guantanamo in 2006.
The report notes that while he is of low intelligence value, Belbacha could pose a threat to the United States, its interests, and its allies.
But a 2009 interagency review task force, ordered by President Obama, reviewed the case and unanimously decided that Belbacha could be transferred.
Thursday's announcement is the most recent step in the president's long uphill fight to close the prison. The administration has faced legal hurdles and political challenges, including opposition from Congress.
But Obama caught a break late last year. A provision in the annual defense authorization act eased transfer restrictions on detainees who have been cleared to leave and were never charged with a crime. It would allow them to return to their home countries or to certain other nations willing to receive them.
There are 154 detainees remaining at Guantanamo Bay.

Alicia Keys Unveils Hot 'Girl on Fire' Artwork
Alicia Keys is bringing the heat this fall with her fifth album 'Girl on Fire.' The R&B songbird unveiled the cover art of the album on her official website.
Alicia Keys is bringing the heat this fall with her fifth album 'Girl on Fire.' The R&B songbird unveiled the cover art of the album on her official website.
VH1′s 'Storytellers' franchise is kicking off its fall season with three of the most successful ladies in pop music. Pink, Taylor Swift and Alicia Keys will perform and tell the stories behind their songs on three consecutive nights, starting with Swift's episode on Nov. 11.
50 Cent celebrates a 'New Day' with Alicia Keys & Dr. Dre on his new song. 50 Cent 'New Day' is a really good song which should make its way to your music library. I can't front, this 'New Day' 50 Cent record is the best song I have heard from Fif in a long time.
Alicia Keys has landed the cover for VIBE Magazine for the 2nd Annual Global issue. The Grammy winning singer/composer sat down with VIBE Magazine for an exclusive interview.
Even the Queen of Soul gets sick sometimes. Aretha Franklin canceled her performance at the funeral of goddaughter Whitney Houston.
I'd hate to call Deena Nicole from Jersey Shore a star, so instead I'll just say "That chick who tries to hump everyone" thinks she can sing. Deena put this video up on her YouTube page of her singing Alicia Keys "Fallin" which she didn't even spell correct. One piece of advice Deena, stick to the Jersey Turnpike and leave the singing to professionals! Check out the "performance" below and another Karaoke (which she didn't spell right either) video she posted a week ago.
Alicia Keys helped Jay-Z open the iHeartRadio Music Festival held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and Keys didn't disappoint. She has been noticeable absent since having her first child with husband Swizz Beats, but A. Keys has defiantly been busy working.
During her performance, Alicia debuted a new song she wrote titled "A Place Of My Own". Check out the performance below and let me know if you think the song will be a hit.
First I would like to say Happy Mother's Day to EVERY Mom out there taking care of their children and working hard! Alicia Key's will grace the cover of Essence Magazine in June and they asked the new Mother, what this special day means to her. See the June cover and what A.Key's had to say about the special day.
Alicia and Bey are getting ready to release a new video for "Put it in a love song"... You can see the preview here!
Just released today.
Don't worry A Keys isn't really dead, only her digital persona. Mrs Swizz Beats isn't the only celebrity who has kicked the digital bucket either, in fact they seem to be dropping like flies! Find out why below.
Congrats again to the happy family. I know some people are pissy, but not these three.

Russian and Western leaders don't see eye-to-eye on the crisis in Ukraine, but they've reached consensus on another important issue: Adolf Hitler was bad.
For European and American observers, Russia's annexation of Crimea echoes the Nazi leader's foreign policy between the military reoccupation of the Rhineland in 1936 and the seizure of the Czech Sudetenland in 1938. Garry Kasparov, the Russian chess grandmaster and prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, wrote as the Crimean crisis unfolded that between hosting the Olympics and invading neighboring countries, "[if] Putin wanted to do a better imitation of Adolf Hitler circa 1936-1938, he would have to grow a little mustache." Earlier this month, as Putin justified his moves in Crimea as an effort to protect ethnic Russians, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s."
Examples abound of Hitler's pre-war aggression, and diplomats have compared Putin's actions to just about all of them. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called Russia's seizure of Crimea an "anschluss," evoking Hitler's 1938 annexation of Austria. A former Czech foreign minister, whose country was carved up by Germany after the Munich Conference of 1938, said Putin was "acting on the same principles" as Hitler did then. When Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird was asked if he meant to compare Russia's actions to Nazi Germany's invasion of the Sudetenland, he replied, "When you have one country invading one of its neighbors, using this type of outrageous and ludicrous rhetoric, it's hard not to."
In Ukraine, such criticism is aimed directly at Putin himself. "World War II began with the annexation by Nazi Germany of other countries' territories," warned Oleksandr Turchynov, Ukraine's interim president. "Today, Putin is following the example of 20th-century fascists." Others are even less diplomatic. "Do you have success negotiating with a killer?" wondered Ukrainian legislator Lesya Orobets when discussing diplomatic efforts with Putin. "Do you negotiate with Hitler?"
* * *
Russian officials also see parallels with Nazi Germany in Ukraine, but not the same ones. While the West invokes the Hitler of 1936 and 1938, Putin and his allies instead claim they're fighting the Hitler of 1933 and 1934—the man who transformed the Weimar Republic's weak parliamentary democracy into the Third Reich's totalitarian and genocidal state in less than a decade. "We are seeing a repetition of the Nazi overthrow of the 1930s in Germany," the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych claimed shortly after fleeing to Russia last month.
On Tuesday, Putin also justified his intervention in Crimea by claiming that "nationalists, neo-Nazis, Russophobes, and anti-Semites" were responsible for the "coup" that toppled Yanukovych. He also cited a proposed law that would have stripped Russian of its status as one of Ukraine's national languages. Though the law failed to pass Ukraine's parliament, "we can all clearly see the intentions of these ideological heirs of Bandera, Hitler's accomplice during World War II," Putin warned.
Putin was referring to Stepan Bandera, one of the most controversial figures in Ukrainian history. Bandera, whose Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) fought for national independence during the turbulent interwar years, "aimed to make of Ukraine a one-party fascist dictatorship without national minorities," wrote historian Timothy Snyder in 2010. "Bandera and other Ukrainian nationalists [in the 1930s] saw the Nazis as the only power that could destroy both of their oppressors, Poland and the Soviet Union."
For these reasons, Bandera and some Ukrainian nationalists collaborated with advancing German forces as they swept through Eastern Europe, even allegedly helping the Nazis target Ukrainian Jews. But Hitler had no intention of allowing Ukrainian independence, and the OUN's leaders spent much of the war in a Nazi concentration camp after declaring a short-lived independent Ukrainian state in 1941, eventually forming a paramilitary force, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), that opposed both the Germans and the Soviets. KGB operatives later assassinated Bandera in West Germany in 1959. Linking a Ukrainian collaborator to the Euromaidan revolution allows Putin to portray himself not as a fascist-like aggressor, but as the defender of Russians from fascism.
Like all good propaganda, Russian claims of neo-fascist thuggery in Kiev are based on a kernel of truth. During the Euromaidan protests, two far-right Ukrainian groups rose to prominence. Pravy Sektor (or Right Sector), a nationalist group, manned barricades and clashed with riot police in Kiev's Independence Square over the course of the uprising against Yanukovych. The militant organization has denied claims that it is anti-Semitic, but it has spoken out against homosexuality and embraces an ideology that, in the words of journalist Simon Shuster, "borders on fascism." But Pravy Sektor is only a minor political player in Ukraine's post-Yanukovych government.

Today in incredibly important celebrity dance off news, teen bride Courtney Stodden is ready to throw down against model Kate Upton in a Battle Of The Cat Daddy. The "cat daddy," for those who are not in the know, is a dance move. Upton got a whole mess of attention when she did the cat daddy on set with pervy photog Terry Richardson. Stodden seems to believe she can do it better. You be the judge! Both videos are above. I'd say Kate has more natural rhythm, but Courtney gets points for enthusiasm.

Hands off my belly, please!
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 01-08-2010 - 10:40am
I'm looking for a nice way to tell someone that I don't appreciate them coming up to me and rubbing my belly at their free will.
A lady I am friends with
|Fri, 01-08-2010 - 11:07am
Christine I have had this same situation at Jayla's daycare. One of the teachers likes to rub my belly or ask every time she sees me "When are you do?" or before we knew what we were having "When you gonna find out what you having?" For the belly thing I just tell people that I don't really like to have my belly rubbed. If they are adults and can comprehend they should be able to understand how that could be a little annoying and it shouldn't be any hard feelings.
When she would ask when I was due after awhile I would just start saying next year since she couldn't quite remember March anyways. As for what we were having I finally said "When we find out you will find out" She didn't get offended even though I am sure some people would, but people have to understand that you may be dealing with this not only from them but everyone else that thinks it is okay. I know it is only 5 more weeks and if you could handle it for 5 more weeks you wouldn't be posting about it. I would just politely say to her that you have been getting the rubbing of the belly a lot lately and you didn't mind it at first, but it makes you a little uncomfortable now. Hope it works out whatever you choose to go with.
|Fri, 01-08-2010 - 11:17am
I don't have advice, since I haven't experienced this, but I agree with Jacquedia, that if you could handle it for another 5 weeks, you wouldn't be upset about it. I know my co-worker always got pissed at how when you are pregnant people just fly by those boundaries they would normally have. Its amazing. She was in a coffee shop one time with her DH and the person behind the counter had the balls to ask her if he was the father. and she had people coming up to her all the time. She hated being pregnant so she HATED people touching her belly. I feel for you.
I would just tell her that you are getting uncomfortable and would rather her not touch your belly.
Good Luck and KUP
|Fri, 01-08-2010 - 11:21pm
Jay and Jessica,
Thanks for the advice. You are both right - if it didn't bother me, I wouldn't have posted here. I think since the most recent touching was just yesterday, it was still fresh in my mind.
Hopefully I'll have the guts to say something to her next time it happens!
|Sat, 01-09-2010 - 10:59am
i would definitely say something...just let her know that you were fine with it in the beginning but it's getting old, lol.
i've been lucky in that i've only had to deal with it from family (without asking permission)...i guess they figure since they're family, they're entitled. in those particular situations, i just sucked it up and dealt with it, BUT the difference there is that i was visiting for holidays and knew i would be going home and not seeing any of them again until after the baby comes. you've got 5 more weeks of this...it's obviously bothering you. pipe up! who knows, you might teach her a kind lesson and spare the uncomfortable feeling for future pregnant women in your office.
a little story that might make you feel better (it's long though, cuz i like storytelling, lol...just skip it if you don't feel like reading!). my MIL is a bit of an over-the-top personal space invader, especially as far as i'm concerned because she's always wanted a daughter and only has two sons. she gets on my nerves easily because she's very shallow and superficial, but i make nice because she's DH's mother and i want to keep the peace in the family. she hasn't made it easy.
anyway, we'd gone to the big sporting goods emporium place right there in town the saturday after xmas while we were visiting, and MIL attached herself to me the whole time we were there. ugh, i couldn't get rid of the woman. she followed me around like a lost puppy, and when i went and found DH to try and alleviate the awkwardness i was feeling, he disappeared again! HELLO, she's YOUR mother! anyway, that's not the story, lol. i digress. DH disappeared after i found him in the camping section. we were down the aisle with the camp stoves and enamelware, and i noticed that they had stainless steel coffee percolator pots (marketed for using on propane stoves and campfires, of course)...i've only been able to find them online (or the enameled ones in stores by me), so i was all excited, because i want one for my stovetop. love me some perc'd coffee. they even had them in smaller sizes, which is great since DH doesn't drink coffee. so i'm looking at these, my back to the rest of the aisle, when a salesguy comes down the aisle and makes a joking sales pitch about just having marked down the margarita machines.
well, this whackjob that supposedly birthed the man i married grabs my elbow and turns me around, then rubs my belly and says in this god-awful self-rightious how-dare-you tone (with the undertones of enjoying every second of it), "didn't you see THIS? she DOESN'T DRINK."
OMG. if there was a rock available, i would have tried to crawl under it. i seriously considered making a mad dash for the sleeping bag rack against the wall and hiding in between them. of course he didn't friggin see it, i had my back to him! and even if he DID, who the H-E-double-hockey-sticks are you to judge him for treating me like anyone else shopping there? maybe i would have bought it for a friend! maybe i just gained weight in general and it all went to my belly! maybe he wasn't even talking to me, maybe he was talking to you! WTF is wrong with you woman??? and, HOW DARE YOU show me off like some kind of trophy piece, you insipid beyotch?
maybe that's a little harsh, but i was so mortified at the time, and at that point i was so sick of talking about nothing but pregnancy and babies all holiday long, being the brunt of bad baby-related jokes insinuating my life is over beyond that of "mother", and generally losing my entire identity beyond "mother of the next baby in the family" with DH's family, that her drawing such obvious public attention to my pregnancy as though it was my only feature as a human being made me want to deck the woman.
i have to say, pregnancy has made me pretty irritable, lol.
|Sat, 01-09-2010 - 6:31pm
|Sat, 01-09-2010 - 6:35pm
|Sat, 01-09-2010 - 7:27pm
i suppose it is kind of amusing in retrospect, and somewhat infuriating, lol. i managed some weak quip about how i prefer my 'ritas on the rocks anyway, lol. i don't think my MIL heard it.
i wonder what she would have said if i'd told her that i had half a glass of wine the night before, after she, FIL, and BIL had gone back to their hotel.
|Sun, 01-10-2010 - 6:53pm
OMG Carly! I would've wanted to crawl under a rock too! Thank goodness for your sake you don't have to see your MIL often. It's funny because no one in my family (or DH's for that matter) has even attempted to touch my belly, or ask to touch it, yet I have to deal with co-workers who can't seem to keep their hands to themselves.
Heather - I have actually tried taking a step back when she caught me in the hall one

Does Jem still fear the gifts in the tree? Give reasons for your answer
2 Answers | Add Yours
No. Jem don't fear the gifts no more. I'm only 16 but I read the book twice and Jem knows that it's just Boo's way of communicating with him and Scout. He knows that Boo don't come out of his house but he likes the fact that he can still communicate with him. If he was still fearing the gifts, he wouldn't have written a letter of thanks towards Boo. Once MrNathan Radley fills the tree with cement, Jem cries. He cries because he won't ever be able to give Boo that letter. So on my part, I say that Jem isn't fearing the gifts any longer.
Jem really has no fear of the gifts he finds in the knothole from Boo Radley. At first, he warns Scout about the chewing gum that she retrieves--the very first gift; he suggests that it may be poisoned, but Scout realizes later (since she is still alive) that there is no worry for that. Jem also worries that he may be taking someone else's belongings--that the gifts may be left for someone else, or that the knothole may be someone's secret hiding place. But he soon becomes enthralled with the gifts and their value for someone so young (and in such a time as the Great Depression). The real clincher is when he finds the carved soap figurines: They are likenesses of Jem and Scout, and then he knows for sure that the gifts are meant for him and his sister.

k, so Saturday was my dads wedding. I agreed to make his wedding cake as a present. And the fact that I just love my dad and his new wife is awesome!!!! So he wants white cake with key lime filling, after I finally decide that I am going to use pie filling after testing all kinds of ideas. Now it is time to make the cake. Well my DH decides he is going to start his own cleaning business the week that I need to make this cake.(Which I am also quitye excited about) So I am helping him do that which sets me back so by Friday I am actually able to start making the cake. I had made the fondant flowers earlier in the week. I thought maybe now since I am runing out of time I would just use 3' pans and slice them twice to make them taller. No that did not work out as planned. Had to make more cakes. Then I had the 2 tops tiers filled iced and covered so I began the bottom tier. Everything is going great still have like 2 - 2 1/2 hours left . Well my roomate decides he is going to cook lunch.. not wa good idea while I am decorating a cake. So he is just in my way. I try to put the second layer of the bottom on and had to flip it because needed a crumb coat to keep the pie filling from seeping into the cake. and of course it broke and I dropped it. Well cried for a while then decided I could put it backe together well, with pie filling I guess it was not such a good becuse our air conditioner broke so the house started to get out and fondant and pie filling start melting. Alright time to go we live in a n historic town with cobblestone roads that are really bump with huge holes so driving down this road the cake staarts to slide. and the broken piece starts coming apart. we get it out I try to fix it but is a little crooked oh well. Then this caterer lady come out and starts putting purple flowers on it. When i approached her she said she thought it needed a little something. Well, first of all she did not want that little something extra on it she wanted simple. and second her colors were burgandy and ivory. so my aunt pulled the flowers off the cake and hid the in another flower arrangment. Get this the woman had the nerve to complain that we removed the flowers that were not even supposed to be there. Well they loved it and is crooked ness And of course it tasted great so that made up for it!! Sorry so long and thanks for listening stressful day!

Veteran actor Raza Murad, known for playing negative roles in films, will be seen as Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the TV show "Veer Shivaji". He feels the role will give him a chance to create a new image.
"I have worked on television and love the medium for its connect with the audience. I found 'Veer Shivaji' an interesting project as it showcases the life of the great Maratha warrior and takes you back to history," Raza said in a statement.
After keeping himself busy with regional cinema, especially Gujarati, Punjabi and Bhojpuri films, the veteran actor is upbeat about returning to the small screen and replaying a historical character.
"I will be playing Shah Jahan and will enter the show when Shivaji seeks his support to release Shahaji Raje from Adilshah's custody," he said. The show is being aired on Colors.
"I am now working on my look closely with the production team and I hope the audiences like my work. I have played many negative roles in films and television gives me an opportunity to break this image and portray another side of me," he added.

Moaning and complaining about how stinking hot it is outside, how I don't want to be out in it, nothing about this kind of weather makes me want to go outside, but a promise to my running buddy did. We have been trying to get together for a run for the past two weeks, it has been raining every day that we have made a date so we haven't seen each other and was really missing getting out for a run together. We made a date for last night....could it have been any hotter yesterday....96, ugggh. We decided to go later in the evening, hoping it would cool down, but even at 7:00 last night, it was 90 degrees with 75% humidity, can you say ICK?????
The thought of even going out in this weather (shaking my head)....what did I get myself into, but I promised Paulette I'd be there, I am not one to go back on my word so I just sucked it up and headed out the door. Gross, sticky, hot, I could tell this was not going to go well.
We decided to do intervals, run three minutes, walk one, we managed that for about 2 miles, then we had to just throw in the towel....we were going to finish, but we walked. Even walking was hot, I love it when the sweat just rolls and pours down, hahahaha......NOT, but when you think about it this way....
I was one super cry baby last night, but so glad I got out there and sweat off a few gallons .....Ahhhhhh sweat...it does the body good.
A big shout out to Jolie for giving me a wake-up text this morning, gosh she's up earlier than me, like 3:30 even, sheesh. She was up getting ready for her morning workout and decided to make sure I was up, gosh it's great to have friends to get you motivated and great to have SP buddies to be accountable to.
I am known as the "Sarge" on the Motivators team, but who keeps the Sarge motivated? Every now and again the motivators need motivating, so I am thankful for all of you and your encouragement, which keeps me going.
Last night I packed up everything for today's trip, and even put my bike in the way of the door, I was ready, no last minute morning scrambling. It sure helped to have everything done. I have way too much junk, I had my protein shake, coffee and purse in the basket and I ended up wearing the backpack with my change of clothes, etc. in it (wouldn't fit in the basket), I need to lighten the load a bit, maybe I should keep an outfit already at work, and the clunky wedge heels weighed what felt like a ton.
So I did it..... I rode my bike to work. 9 miles
This blog is meant for keeping myself motivated and overcoming that silly snooze button. Boy did it feel great to get in a workout first thing in the morning, haven't done that for a while. It was very humid, and an occasional breeze, thanks to the storage place who had their sprinklers on this morning, woo hoo, a little cool off.
Took my helmet off on the back road leading to my office so my bangs could blow dry, lol. Then a dash to the ladies room for a freshen up and to change into the work outfit. A quick swipe of the eyeliner pencil, a comb and a squirt of hairspray. You would never know I was a hot mess when I got here, see.....(pretty ragged, I'd say)
I would like to do this at least 3 times a week, I have to make myself and fitness a top priority. I have come way too far to backslide and I will not let myself revert back to being a couch potato.
The weather forecast calls for a hot, humid day with afternoon thunderstorms pretty much every day during the summer, so I am expecting to get a little wet on the ride home, but cross your fingers I don't run into any of this...
Hooo hum, I am stuck in a cloud of funk that is totally encircling me, I need to break out of it. I was going to ride my bike to work today, but I kept smacking the snooze, ugggghhh - totally UNACCEPTABLE. Think I need a bugler standing in my bedroom at 0430.
On a good note I did get a little something accomplished last night�.we helped dad move his bed upstairs and we went to the mattress store and purchased him a mattress � yeah, check that off the list. I figured he would be anxious to get his new room all moved into and set up, but NOPE, he headed out the door this morning at 6:00�..FISHING !!!! I�m gonna have to crack the whip and make him hop to it tonight.
KP stopped by to use the computer, conveniently right at dinner time, lol. I love having her stop by, so I pulled up a chair and fixed her a plate. She was signing up for the college fall semester yesterday and was using my computer to �rate my professor�, who knew they had a website to check out the teacher � guess that�s a good thing.
Tonight it�s food shopping for a couple of things�the "men folk" ran out of cereal as evidenced by the empty Tupperware container that was strategically left on the counter so I will be sure to see it�s empty, sheesh. So big hint�.they need cereal and of course milk and some quick grab-n-go foods (as I call them) otherwise know as stuff I don�t like to buy like honey buns, chips, etc. - el junko.
In order to get myself motivated, this is what I am GOINT TO DO and you (my SPARKIES) need to hold me accountable tomorrow, OK? I would hang my head in shame if I promised to do something and then did NOT do it. So I'm putting it out there for all of SPARKLAND to see.
Tonight I am going to park my bicycle in the middle of the living room, directly in front of the door, get my backpack ready with a change of clothes and all my work stuff bungee corded into the handlebar basket....that way all I have to do is get up and get dressed, then it�s out the door. Souunds pretty full proof, right?
Getting up is the real booger, uggghhhhh. I need a live-in drill sergeant, any takers?

I was very nervous about my physical appointment with my doctor last Friday. I had went the week before to have blood work done prior to my appointment. I was being tested for diabetes as I have not had a physical in three years. Great news....
I scored perfect on all my blood work. EVERYTHING was in perfect range, so no diabetes, YEAH !!!! Doctor said that I scored perfect on everything and that whatever it is I am doing....it's working.
I will share with you what I have been doing for the past three years....logging my food on SPARK daily and eating fresh veggies, fruits, and lean meats with very little starches and sweets. It was a huge compliment to get a perfect report card from the doctor, it means if I can score an A+...you can too !!!!
So this means that diabetes did not cause my cataracts, which is great news but I still have to deal with the eyeballs, cataract surgery later this summer.
I need to work on improving the fitness report card since I have taken a brief hiatus from running.
GOSH, it feels great to be an "A" student.
The weather is heating up here in Virginia Beach, shewh. So that means the end of running season for me, a little running hiatus til cooler temperatures arrive (September). I'm not going to stay cooped up in the house....it's walking season.
This week's fitness challenge for the Motivators Team was to walk for at least 15 minutes per day, no problem....We CAN DO it !!!! There was a great article on Spark this morning about walking....
Walking is what originally started the weight to fall right off me at the beginning of my journey, I would walk every day and I would walk everywhere....to the store, to lunch, etc.
Some people may think this is a step down from what I am used to since I have been running for three years, but I don't see it that way. I see it as giving my body a little break, while still keeping active...moving and a grooving, and a little speed walking can give you a great cardio workout.
I will still run on nice weather days and I have a couple 5K's that I will be doing with some new runners (I love the excitement of newbies), but I think this may be good for me for a change. It will give me some quiet time to contemplate what I am going to do next with my life, I'm at a crossroads....my baby was just married last month, so the nest is empty of my little chickadee, so now what to do with this next phase of life...I want to focus some on "me" - getting more fit, carving out some muscles, but what exactly do I really want???? I'm hoping to have an "ah-ha moment" on one of my walks, lol.
Some quotes I ran across this morning on google:
And lastly, I'm going to remember this one...Walk away from the frig, hahahaha. Have a sparktastic day.

Residents remember when Northgate Apartments drew an affluent clientele to the southern portion of the township that borders Youngstown.
"They were beautiful apartments," said Jim Rodway, township zoning administrator.
But today, the five orange-bricked apartments that line Colonial and Northgate drives sit mostly empty. Rodway said only one person legally lives in all five units. The rest of the units are vacant, stripped and open to squatters.
After years of disrepair and zoning citations, Rodway announced at the March 12 trustee meeting that he and an inspector with the Trumbull County Health Department had requested that the health department to deem the five units — 212, 214 and 216 Colonial Drive and 3010 and 3012 Northgate — labeled as unfit for human habitation at its April 18 meeting.
The Vindicator's attempts to reach the apartments' owner, Colonial Group Apartments, on Friday were unsuccessful
But even if the county health board makes the designation, township officials say they have no money to raze the structures.
"We're not like a city," said township Administrator Pat Ungaro. "We don't get [federal] block grant money."
When he was mayor of Youngstown, Ungaro received up to $7 million a year in block grants, which he used to buy up abandoned mills and commercial properties after the decline in steel production.
"Townships don't get that," he said.
So the apartments sit vacant until people sometimes take matters into their own hands such as the Liberty Square apartments, which are commonly referred to as Naylor Lloyd apartments for the road on which they sit in the township's northern portion.
Someone set fire to two of the five vacant and stripped units within an eight-day period in November. The state fire marshal deemed the fires arson.
Another apartment at 3006 Green Acres Drive, which is only feet away from the Northgate apartments, caught fire twice in a 12-hour span until it burned to the ground March 5. That apartment was not condemned and had three tenants, Fire Chief Michael Durkin said at the time.
Like Northgate Apartments, Liberty Square was once a thriving set of apartments that fell into disrepair. Five years ago, the county deemed them unfit for human habitation, but the township couldn't afford to raze them.
Ungaro said it would have cost $50,000 per unit just for the required asbestos removal.
And the township found out the apartments were not eligible for the The Neighborhood Stabilization Program, a series of federal grants for demolishing or rehabilitating dilapidated structures, because they were not considered to be in a high-risk area.
The Northgate units, if condemned, are considered in a high-risk area, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, but a spokeswoman from the Trumbull County Planning Commission said there are no plans for another round of NSP grants this year.
If there were, the competition for them would be steep, Ungaro said.
"The cities, they have major demolition problems in neighborhoods," Ungaro said. "If there is money available, that's often where it goes — where the problem is overwhelming. They have significant issues."
In February, Ohio received $75 million after the federal government announced a $25 billion settlement with five banks involved in foreclosure fraud across the country.
According to the county planning commission, some of that money will be earmarked for demolition projects, and Trustee Jodi Stoyak is hoping Liberty will get a piece of that money.
"I jumped all over that," she said, adding that she has been writing letters and making phone calls to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office in hopes that Liberty will get a funding share.
Until then, if the county's health department condemns the Northgate units, Rodway plans to sit down with Liberty's law director to determine what action the township can take on them.
As long as the trash from the city keeps getting swept out to the burbs, because now one is building any new homes, the cancer will continue. Take a look at all the borders, the north, west and south, they all look alike. It is not that it is meant to happen. Low income families are too worried feeding, clothing and sheltering. There is nothing left over to make improvemts if they own, and don't expect the slum lords to put any money back in the property. If any place deserves affordable new housing, it is the city of Youngstown. Many of these people do not want to leave but the crime has forced them out. When a metro approach is taken to fix the core of the problem then progress can be made.
As the former Mayor of Youngstown, this is just to make Pat Ungaro feel at home in Youngstown North. The demolition project will NOT be able to keep up with what needs removed even with the highest taxes in Trumbull County.
Someone will find this post Offensive to! Truth does hurt. Most of Liberty has become Youngstown North.
Yes. Let's continue to be isolationists, pointing fingers and pretending we can solve our challenges as individual communities. Because that's working working out great for us.
How about we director our energy and focus on:
- Aggressive County Land Banking
- Joint Economic Development Districts
- Joint Law Enforcement Task Force Initiates & Social Service Planning
- County-Based Small Business & Mortgage Revolving Loan Funds
- Higher Education Full Scholarship Programs For Those Graduating With A 3.0 Grade Point Average Or Higher
- Stop Spending Limited Tax Dollars On New Infrastructure On The Fringes Of Mahoning & Trumbull County
I know it's easier to blame...but it won't change anything. It never has. Let's start making some real changes and move forward.
3 arrests at Walmart last week and none of the perps were from Liberty. Where do you think they came from Phil? Will Social Service Planning keep the criminals out? I'm sure our energy would be better spent with firearms training and long terms in jail for the criminals.
More firearms. More incarceration. Sounds like a simple, long term plan for community stability. Dealing only with the symptoms of the bigger problems at play in a reactionary manner seems to be working.
We have blight down in the south, but nothing like this. Our poor seem to be just po folks. What I see up here since relocating a year and a half ago is pretty much generations of subsidized individuals. Even at the top of the local food chain are politicians on the public payroll, nonprofit groups, etc.. Shame us energy corps. seem to be the only ones not taking in government funding but actually producing. Does anyone manufacture anything around here anymore or do ya' ll just live off of taxes. You should thank your stars you have oil.
What have ya'll done with your proud manufacturing base? Don't get me wrong, love the cheap real estate and no traffic jams, you people are really nice to us migrants.
Our manufacturing base was decimated by the corporate greed of the steel industry, by and large. It would serve you well to pick up a local history book. And you can leave your judgements of our area down south, regardless, thank you.
By the way, didn't V&M Star receive $19 million of federal stimulus money? Hasn't the city of Youngstown offered new energy companies in the city 10-year tax abatements? Hasn't Ohio's tax on natural gas and oil been one of the lowest in the nation by comparison?
Yes. Yes. And yes.
You're only here because we have a commodity you want to make billions off of. You'll be gone when it's gone. We'll still be here. We've learned our lessons from the steel era (on a number of fronts). Those mistakes aren't going to be made again.
Looky here, we may have a local semi-intelligent one still remaining here, pardon me Mr. Kidd sir.
Firstly, I have studied the Valley's past industry for several years now even prior to relocating. Some of my associates are top Youngstown State engineers and are good friends of mine. They were part of the brain drain maybe prior to the date you were born. Fact, the high union wages were directly responsible for the mills not being able to globally compete. Once upon a time, again before you were born mill workers were the largest homeowner group in the country. You see everyone was responsible for sucking the golden goose dry.
Secondly, I have read V&M Star's onslaught into this Valley, they publicly stated they were coming up here with or without any incentive, looks like your savy leaders gave tax money away when not needed, nothing new up here, right?
Lastly, you are lucky we in industry kept innovative and perfected horizontal drilling to enable us to come up here and produce what you and your ilk aren't educated to do. And... we are paying all the landowners here more money than they could even sale their land for. Ironically I see you all just dump tires and trash on your land, some respect.
BTW, don't fool yourselves, quit blaming everyone else, the mills have been gone for almost 40 years and you haven't done squat, but let the place rot further. The people here are good hardworking people, it is unqualified leaders like you who continue to fail them. My YSU coworker engineers warned me about the remnants up here, they even renounce your type.
Your first post on this thread was pure name-calling. It demonstrated an ignorance and insensitivity to the history of this region. And it was not provoked.
As a result, you perpetuate a stereotype of your industry in which people of this region are very skeptical of and do not react well to: arrogance.
I work with people in this community on a level you won't ever experience. The people here want work, educational opportunities, homeownership just like anyone else does. They have also likely been through more turmoil than most communities in the US. By calling people 'subsidized' and other childish and divisive things, you are polarized.
This is a region which is about community. That is because it has had to band together to survive the past 30 years (post-steel era). As someone not from this region, you and your industry would do well to not to cast stones here. And that's just good life advice, in general...and has been before we were both born.
Bingo! we have a live one here, exactly what we in the energy industry are looking for, "a center of influence" Yes Mr. Kidd you appear to be one, but further investigation reveals you wanna be, but sadly you aren't. Don't loose hope, we maybe able to assist you and educate you. You see we are all about community and WE DO IT, the right way.
Let me put to rest your hostility, we are not going away, this energy play will be around for another generation and most likely advance tech. will be able to harvest more by then. Texas has been an energy powerhouse for close to a century. You however are not even a property owner, at least what records reveal.
Personally my wife is from Youngstown, this is one of the reasons I volunteered to relocate here. You see, I am what the industry calls a facilitator, a motivator, one who mobilizes and reaches the goal rapidly if required. I also am .....a hatchet man, if I see a fake, I call him out. An eliminator, if one is not producing....elimination. A resolution man, a strategist. Bottom line I was sent up here to make things happen for the betterment of community.
So, we now know who you are and the community organizing you do. When the reports came in this morning on the MVOC, my first response to my associates was , oh, another ACORN here, only good at gathering votes for a political agenda. However, let's see if we can work together WITH YOUR stated agenda above.
County Landbank, we like this one. We have already been sending representatives to see the treasurer. Lien Forward, I am glad to see that someone has stood up an axed that waste of tax payer money. The stoppage in the system appears to be funding.....this is where we can help. The tax delinquencies are unimaginable up here and our industry and the public sector needs this resolved right away. The energy industry because of the requirement of minerals is the source of capital here.
Business loans and mortgages will follow suit and frankly you guys need to let the market handle this before we have another Freddymac on our hands, you are not qualified.
We are approaching this with full transparency here and will continue looking for the center of influence here. If the MVOC is genuine, you will work with us, if not...there is no stopping the GLOBAL energy money that is now invested under your feet. The Valley will prosper again with or without the entitled.
Now, what is your move on the landbank, more crying or do you guys have a plan, we do and we have the funding.
PhilKidd, seriously...are you for real? You don't own a single piece of real estate here in Mahoning County, not a house, garage or even a vacant lot where you can set up your grape kool aide card table stand. You, sir busy body, have not bothered to invest in Youngstown or aywhere close by. You work on MVOC's nickle while emailing and posting all kinds of personal communications to your Defend Youngstown website, all the while you are looking for ways to march around the northside (in particular) trying expose more housing carcasses, plot & scheme on how to ridicule owners who cannot meet your homeowner standards, discover and find new more elaborate arguments on how to tear down these people's houses which do not meet with your personal approval, whining about being transparent, filming public meetings left and right and yet... again....you own no real estate.... and...... neither do many of your "clanspeople" from the Wick Park Neighbohood Asscociation, which you famously refer to as WPNA. You and your clanspeople all work in self appointed "secret phone team gangs" making daily calls all day long, pestering people, calling into the city and the commissioners, whining about which houses you want torn down "right now" and which one's must be on the demo lists, "right now". Mr. Phil "Jim Jones" Kidd please put your grape kool aide card table back in your rented apartment closet. Now..Defend That.... or should I really say are you trying your best to Destroy This? And, please stop doing your "hobby lobby moonlight movement work" while someone else is paying your wages during the day. Lastly, why haven't you bought into Youngstown?
I'm not sure why property ownership makes one more credible. But, if it makes a difference, I own TWO houses in the city. I live in one, and am putting my own sweat (and a little blood :D) into restoring the other. (I'm also a member of that WPNA "clan") And, when the second house is restored, I'll sell my current house to someone who will appreciate it as much as I have.
From what I've observed over the last few years, Phil is only trying to help improve the quality of life for the people living here; to be their advocate.
So let's see. We give our poor, cell phones, cable, clothing, food & food stamps, subsidized transportation, subsidized housing for generation after generation of the same families. Phil wants the rest of our income to support these people. Is it all poor? No! But in many cases it's the same people over and over. They teach their kids to live off of the system. FYI, the system is us! AT WHAT POINT do they stand on their own? Enough already!
Property: I have to agree with city_resident: I'm not sure what property ownership has to do with credibility either. I work 12-14 hours per day. I don't have a family. I simply choose not to own a house because I don't need one nor do I want to spend time maintaining one. I'd rather work longer, travel more or something else other than mowing a lawn, fixing a busted pipe or working on a leaking roof. Maybe one day I'll have time for those things but - right now - I don't. Could I afford one? Sure. I pay just as much if not more in rent than any mortgage in any neighborhood in the city. There's a lot of other people who live in my building downtown who you could childishly cast stones at as well who don't do community work like I do: business owners, attorney's, media members, hospital workers, etc. In fact, the demand for renting downtown is higher than what can be supplied at present. So, the growing residential market demand in Youngstown is my residential option. But that's true of cities across America. Welcome to 2012.
Work: My work with the community speaks for itself. If I (and others like me) weren't effective, you wouldn't even know or post about (in detail) all of things that you disapprove of (which is really just highlighting long standing problems and trying to do something about them...or organizing projects and promoting good work). We could use many more of people like myself and my 'clansmen' at the WPNA. By the way, the WPNA stands for Wick Park Neighborhood Association. That's a collection of neighborhood stakeholders...not a Phil Kidd cult (but I'm flattered you think I'm that novel and influential). And there's 45 other similar groups like it throughout the city in other neighborhoods. To that end, neighborhood groups are pretty standard in most cities. Also, I'm not the leader of the WPNA (although I did start it). I don't live in that neighborhood any longer (see above). I work with a group which is a collection of the 45 neighborhood groups I just mentioned above. It's called the Youngstown Neighborhood Leadership Council (or YNLC since you like acronyms). So, if you didn't like what I was doing with the WPNA, then this news probably REALLY p----- you off. Sorry, my nameless friend.
@UticaShale: You identified some key items (ie. agenda items above). I would like to talk more about the Land Bank & Revolving Mortgage Programs in particular (which are underway and which I know something about). Instead of typing all this out on this comment thread, please give me a call so we can discuss in more detail. Thanks. (330) 519-8712.
Don't expect someone like UticaShale to come out from his mask, PhilKidd. He's clearly betrayed himself to be the sort of person who likes to bully, is arrogant, as you mentioned, and demonstrates the terrorizing aspects of the energy industry: they're going to do what they want, when they want to, and anyone who gets in their way will be run over.
You can also see their (and other idiot commentor's) ideas about what makes a person's authority valid: ownership. They claim you don't count because you don't own a home. They believe ownership defines valid human beings whose opinions matter. They blame everything on people who are poor. And they laugh about city leaders who have given their industry money even though they didn't have to.
This is why they are only welcomed by the propertied, the monied, and the powerful. People just like them.
You actually do have some influence, though, Mr. Kidd. You should spend your time educating people about the sort of people invading this valley at the moment, waving their money flags, making promises they'll never keep. A lot of people in the region trust you. That's more power than this fool UticaShale understands.
Mr. Kidd, your wish will be granted.
We can assign an associate who already is working with the treasurer's office to call and meet you.
However, I wish to continue with this approach of transparency which it appears this Valley's politicians lack and are fearful of. Frankly, I understand the MVOC,Lien forward, and the past convicted treasurer spearheaded the Land Bank for several years with ZERO results. Honestly, I do not believe your organizing will move the land bank any closer. I may change my mind if the MVOC can convince us that we need you as participants. Let us start here with full disclosure.
a. Can you give us a list , as long as you like, of parcels you have an end user for?
b. Where is the funding if any, right now for the modified forfeiture process thru the court and the county landbank?
c. Are there funds right now for the county prosecutors to foreclose?
d. If an energy entity wishes to JV with a nonprofit, does the MVOC or YNDC have these nonprofits in place?
e. Can the MVOC and other community nonprofits absorb 23,000 delinquent properties, redistribute and service property taxes?
Mr. Kidd, it is no secret that all property in Mahoning county are now of value to us in the energy business. We also have made it clear that every parcel in Youngstown is offered $5000 plus per acre and 20% royalties. Summation, the funding is here , right NOW to clear the delinquencies and pay the taxes. And one last thing Mr. Kidd, don't BS us that the County Landbank is underway, it is dead in the water.
Your move.
Despite your arrogant tone and obviously skewed understanding of the Mahoning County Land Reutilization Corporation (a.k.a. Land Bank)...I'm still happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability. However, I must preface this by letting you know that I'm not a board member. I'm giving you the best information I can given what I know as someone who keeps informed on the land bank's status.
a. The first 80 cases of the Land Bank are currently being processed. This consists of approximately 100+ individual parcels. The board has authorized the hire of an Executive Director which who will be hired before the end of April. Currently, a staff member of the Cuyahoga County Land Bank is working with Mahoning County's board to assist with a case processing plan for 2012 and to assist the transition of the new ED.
b. I'm assuming your referring to the DTAC (Delinquent Tax Assessment Collection...which is how the Land Bank is funded). There was approximately $430K from 2011 that has been authorized for expenditure in fiscal year 2012. I'm not certain when 2012 collection and allocated. That would be a question for the Treasurer to answer (who is the Chair of the Land Bank by state law).
c. See 'b'.
d. The short answer is yes, however, development work with non-profit groups such as the YNDC is often aligned with specific neighborhood planning. However, if the partnership is logical / mutually beneficial, then, yes, I don't see why such a partnership couldn't happen (just like with any other business). However, I'm not an employee of the YNDC and can't speak for them. MVOC is not a development-based organization. It's policy and advocacy (we lobbied extensively for the establishment of the Land Bank in Columbus and well as on the county level).
e. No, and that's not point of the land bank. It's a holding & redevelopment tool based on as-needed intervention (case-by-case basis). Its greatest strength is to help to clear title much faster than the traditional foreclosure process. It also designed to provide more local control of vacant and abandoned property.
The next board meeting is this Tuesday / 12pm / Mahoning County Commissioner's Conference Room (2nd Floor, Admin Building). You should attend. I'll be there.
@TigerLily: I didn't see / read your post until after I posted my last post. I'm sorry. Thanks for you honest assessment and kind words. I don't read Vindy.com story comments ALL that much, however, I really do enjoy reading yours when I come across them. Keep them coming.
Mr. Kidd,
I have contacted the associate who is our representative to the county landbank, he will be calling you. Thank you for your response and information. I'm glad to see that maybe we can all sit down and work for the common good. In regards to your answers and info. , we have some more questions related to the enumerations. BTW, what we are trying to parlay out to you is relative to the new value on all parcels in mahoning county. In other words, the landbank needs to morph now that there is an end user up front who requires the land albeit for the minerals 98% of the time. Your remarks on (e.) is RIGHT on this point. The greatest strength is the fast clearing of title.
A landbank is no longer required to acquire property first and then try to discover an end user. Today the enduser is at the front end with the funds to clear the title. And here is the BONUS, I do not believe the energy industry will be adverse to DONATING the land to the PEOPLE.
a. The 80 cases you sited, I'm sure you do not mean there are 80 cases filed in the county court system? Also, have the 80 cases end users, we do not need another dormant system.
b. (DTAC), is the $430K in an account or does it have to be collected, I hope it isn't another accounting gundecking of books.
d. Do you have a contact for our lead man to explore a JV with YNDC, if so can YOU brief this contact on this approach?
e. In regards to complete absorbtion of dormant delinquent parcels, the energy industry is ready and able to fund absorbtion, with a question on demo structures and liability of course.
Your move my friend
a. Yes, the 80 cases are proceeding through to court system at present and have end users. There are aprox 400 more cases on the 'waiting list' ready to be processed (end-user ready).
b. The $430K was collected in 2011 and has been deposited in the MCCLRC's account for 2012 operations. A 2012 collection will take place soon (but I'm not sure when...you will want to contact the Tres office regarding that timeline).
d. The Executive Director of the YNDC is Presley Gillespie. His contact information is: email@example.com / (330) 480-0423
e. The land bank can and will target vacant structures in time (demolition / resell of a vacant lot, rehabilitation if strategic and can yield a return on investment). However, being that it is taking on its first case load, it is focused largely on vacant parcels of land. When the new ED is hired, protocol will be established regarding how structures are addressed (ie. prioritization, x number of funds allocated for demo vs. rehab, ect).
The Vindy seems slow for the last few days.
Mr. Kidd's statement today at the landbank meeting stunned the bureaucrats. Way to go Mr. Community, you have rung the bell. There is no other capital to clean up vacant , abandoned parcels . Property taxes that bring funds to the coffers of school and the county can be 100%, which many have not seen in a life time.
Today, BP ponied up to flank our northern border, establishing an acreage price at $3900 and 17.5%. Surely $5000/20% makes one proud to be from Mahoning county. Ground zero in the Utica is right underneath us. Youngstown may not need defending in the near future.
Mr. Kidd,
Some more Ammo.:
Of the 80 parcels in the landbank circuit, we believe 21 of the parcels with the end users being the Spanish Evangelical Church on the Eastside, have already been redeemed by the owners. This will become a big problem for the county landbank wherein any move it makes on targeted parcels can and most likely will be negated by the tax lien being purchased or the parcel being redeemed due to the mineral market.
Additinal ammo. , following are four individual end users who have purchased the follwong tax liens in order to forfeit the parcels, these parcels and individuals are ready right now to process and fund forfeiture thru the new county landbank:
a. Hoffman, 96 parcels
b. Tarr, 52 parcels
c. Dearing, 87 parcels
d. Cohen, 51 parcels
e. Wiseman, 92 parcels
f. Myles Howard, 196 parcels
This is just the tip of the iceberg, what is taking the landbank so long?
Thank you sir. Although us in the energy industry working in the county recorder's office, laboring on the fourth floor of the Ohio One building, are not allowed to engage in discussion on the subject, we do however thank the people of Youngstown for the opportunity to work. As the industry matures here, we wish to see more jobs spill over to the locals. Education institutions must gear up to train individuals as we have been trained. Many of us are excited to see real estate and the cost of living so affordable and may invest here as the boom continues.
Some advise though, your leadership needs to get with it and get educated on what is happening in this new found wealth. The citizenry needs to demand more that its leaders perform and not just fill in some entitled job. We have seen the truth on how this energy find can really change a community for the better.
Great observations, comments, and insights!!! You have found the sore that makes the monkeys scratch! Don't think everyone here is as blind and ill-informed as PhilKidd. Remember - its best to avoid getting into a battle of wits with a defenseless person!

So you haven't seen the very funny Australian comedy Please Like Me? I'd prefer to blame this unfortunate fact on one of two things: Either (a) you don't have Pivot, the cable channel for ''passionate Millennials'' that airs the series, or (b) you don't have eyes. Created by comedian Josh Thomas, who plays ''Josh'' and based the story on his own experience, PLM made my list of 2013's best shows with its charmingly wry take on one young man's quarterlife crisis. Just in time for his 21st birthday, Josh gets dumped by his girlfriend (''We've drifted,'' she says. ''Also, you're gay''), kisses a man for the first time, and learns that his mom, Rose (Debra Lawrance), tried to commit suicide. Happy birthday indeed! Considering the premise, though, it's surprisingly lighthearted. When Rose refuses to go to therapy, Josh reassures her: ''No one's gonna see you, Mom. And if they do see you, they're probably mental too, so that's nice!''
Too few shows are able to capture the real voice of twentysomethings, maybe because that ''voice'' is usually approximated by writers over 30. So PLM's take on postcollegiate life feels particularly spot-on. During season 2, a manic episode lands Rose back in the hospital, just as Josh is trying to bond with his newborn stepsister. But plot points don't matter too much, since the everyday conversations always rooting humor in truth are the real draw here. When Josh teases his best friend, Tom (played by Thomas' actual best friend, Thomas Ward), for not impressing women, Tom protests. ''I have moves!'' he declares, though his suburban-dad beard begs to differ. ''Tom, they only kiss you because you look approachable,'' Josh says. ''That's a move!'' insists Tom.
As Josh, Thomas is a modern-day Oscar Wilde, a sharp-witted dandy who skewers hipster idiocy. His thoughts on dressing ironically: ''What could the irony in a bandanna be? That he's wearing it even though he's not undergoing chemotherapy?'' His philosophy on Reiki massage: ''Why would you pay someone to not touch you?... Do you go to restaurants and pay them to not feed you?'' Quips like these make you want to live in this show, because it's about everything that matters to young people: how they live, how they love, how they sometimes draw prison tattoos on babies' faces with an eyebrow pencil. (Yes, that happens, and yes, that scene is awesome.) Josh's anxiety may occasionally drive you mental. But then, if you can fully appreciate the brilliance of this quarterlife-crisis suicide comedy, you may already be a little mental. So that's nice. A

Do quality men event exist?
By Kavita Patel
For Valentine's Day, Hemal was out of town. He travels off to Toronto every week for work. He flew in last Friday, the day after V-day, and he had bought tickets to see the Broadway musical, Wicked. It was off the hook! I loved the musical. All I had to say is "we aren't doing anything romantic" and boom! He is booking tickets! Yes, I find a musical romantic. However, it wasn't always like this…
Hemal and I met in college and were together for 4 years, and around Christmastime in that 4th year I thought he was going to propose. He was coming home with me to Cincinnati for the holidays, where I grew up. And he calls me up and says, "I am no longer coming -- I haven't been happy for a while and I need a break." I was shocked -- I didn't understand. I immediately started crying and was utterly devastated.
The months that followed were HARD -- probably the hardest moments I had ever experienced in love. I wanted him back. I tried to call him, email him, send presents, and convince him why we should be together and why I was the one for him. Yes, the sane girl went insane during those months.
I mourned, I wept, I ugly cried, I incessantly talked about our relationship and analyzed what went wrong in my head over and over again. I was depressed. I am one of those people that doesn't try to distract herself from feeling bad. I dive right into my feelings and allow them to flow until I am done feeling. Every man I met and saw during that time wasn't good enough, wasn't available, or simply said -- just didn't make the cut. It made me even more depressed if what I wanted was even possible.
Then, 6 months after the break up, my friends and I went on a girls vacay. Yup, 4 of my closest and dearest girlfriends flew down to Miami and had a blast. One night we were at a beautiful outdoor club, and there was this man across the room that I was like OMG he is totally hot. I kept eyeing him up and shot him a smile he smiled back. And then a friend of mine and I went up to him -- she helped -- and we started chatting.
He was Italian and ummm super hot. He ended up hanging out with us, and eventually he and I went off to a private cabana to chat. ;) It was hilarious because he spoke little English and I spoke no Italian.
We hung out until the sun came up, and I felt like I had my groove back! Something shifted. He wasn't anything that I was looking for longterm (other than hunky) but the experience of meeting and connecting with someone I thought was hot shifted me.
And truth be told … All it takes is one experience for a belief to be proven otherwise.
After Miami I felt I was ready -- ready to date again, meet men, and insert myself back into the love world. When I got home, I started to see eligible men around me, where before there had been none.
The idea that no good men existed changed, and it had everything to do with shifting my perspective and experiencing something different. When I was depressed, I was looking for reasons to stay that way: reasons to prove that what I had with Hemal was the only and greatest thing. When I was ready to stop believing that, I started seeing possibility!
This week's Lovework:

The French Revolution: 1770-1814
Wiley, Dec 23, 1996 - History - 332 pages
This volume, comprising Part I of the authors classic work Revolutionary France 1770-1880, offers a vivid narrative and radical reinterpretation of the years surrounding the momentous events of 1789 and their aftermath. During this period there were not one, but two revolutions: by intent the first was egalitarian, the second- Bonapartes authoritarian. The tension between the two characterized the period and was to shape the Republic that eventually emerged from the ruins of the ancien regime.

Black Friday's Revenge: Will Sales Slip?
Regardless, November same-store sales won't be a very accurate indication of what to expect for the holiday, as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Amazon (AMZN) -- the behemoths of the season -- don't report monthly sales numbers.
In fact, the main concern isn't with November -- or even the fourth quarter, for that matter -- but what happens once the holidays are over and consumers no longer have a reason to shop. Gift-card holiday sales are expected to fall 5%, according to Archstone Consulting, and this decline will most likely hold back sales and profits in January when shoppers typically redeem the cards, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Richard Jaffe wrote in a note.
And then there's one last hurdle to clear: In 2010, retailers will also reach the anniversary of the benefits of cost savings and better inventory management, limiting their potential upside and challenging retailers to grow earnings primarily through sales improvement.

Hinsdale school to close until next week because of mold
Hinsdale Middle School will be closed until at least early next week after tests confirmed that mold was growing in the school and officials voted Monday night on a remediation program that will cost the school district nearly $400,000.
District officials originally canceled Tuesday and Wednesday classes for the school's 800-plus students and closed the building Friday to allow crews to do a deep cleaning of the school, which was built in 1976.
But that closure was extended until at least next Tuesday after school board members voted at an emergency meeting Monday night to pay for remediation and cleaning work at the school, at a cost of $384,512.
Officials involved in the work told board members that they have removed 90 percent of the mold from the building and that much of the cost of their further work would go toward cleaning its duct system.
Superintendent Renee Schuster said over the weekend that test results from samples of mold found Thursday by a cleaning crew showed low concentrations of mold spores on drywall and surface samples tested.
Officials with a company called SERVPRO were at the school to perform deep cleaning and remove wet drywall after water damage that initially occurred when a pipe burst during a frigid cold snap.
More leaks were discovered after school resumed classes last week.
Christine Maxwell, a reading specialist at the school, said she has long been worried about the air quality and its impact on the health of students and staff. She said conditions have recently gotten worse.
After returning from the holiday break, she said she experienced a sinus headache, itchy eyes, cough, laryngitis and dizziness.
"We have medically fragile students who are affected (asthma, allergies, heart conditions, autoimmune) and staff (asthma, allergies, as well as pregnancies)," Heather Scott,
a sixth-grade teacher and co-president of the Hinsdale Clarendon Hills Teachers' Association, said via email.
Schuster said results of indoor air testing performed Jan. 10 show the air quality to be within acceptable guidelines.
