janeyp Posts: 1My 08 350Z has Brembo brakes and when coasting to a stop or in line at a drive thru my brakes squeal so bad that is embarassing. It sounds like I need new brakes on all 4 wheels. My car only has 4500 miles on it. I've taken to the dealership several times for this. They say it's fixed and within a day or two it starts to squeal again. Anyone else have this problem? Is this the way these brakes sound?

online discussions
Online Discussion Questions That Work
Most online faculty know that discussion is one of the biggest advantages of online education. The increased think-time afforded by the asynchronous environment, coupled with the absence of public speaking fears, produces far deeper discussion than is usually found in face-to-face courses.
The Online Discussion Board: Opening the Gateway to New Learning
In the online instructional environment, the discussion questions, posts, and responses are the lifeblood of the course. Although writing formal papers and completing quizzes are typical components of online courses, the gateway to new learning occurs within the discussion forums. The discussion board expands and contracts, or breathes with the relevancy of the question to the course, current events, and experiences of the faculty and students. The development of engaging discussion questions and statements can be as easy as watching the news, reading current articles, or reviewing internet news sites, and then relating the content to the course. Faculty should use their imagination to connect current events to course-related material. Questions should be not answered from lists from the textbook or the regurgitation of content from the current unit's assessment.
Five Pedagogical Practices to Improve Your Online Course
Because online courses have fewer opportunities for the spontaneous, real-time exchanges of the face-to-face classroom, online instruction requires a deliberate approach to design and facilitation. As Bethany Simunich says, "Online, learning doesn't happen by chance." In an interview with Online Classroom, Simunich, associate director of online learning at Kent State University, offered the following techniques to improve an online course:
Discussion Board Assignments: Alternatives to the Question-and-Answer Format
If you're having trouble getting students to engage in the discussion forum, perhaps it's time to rethink how you use this tool. "Think of it as a place to foster interaction between the students through a variety of means rather than just asking them questions, although that's great too," says Chris Laney, professor of history and geography at Berkshire Community College.
Structure and Expectations Can Improve Student Participation in Online Discussions
Clear expectations, structure, and instructor intervention can go a long way toward getting students highly engaged and highly interactive in online discussions.
Why Demand Originality from Students in Online Discussion Forums?
As an online instructor, I require my students to engage in weekly discussion forums. In the online college environment, discussion forums are designed to simulate a professor and his or her students engaged in a traditional classroom discussion. Students respond to a question and then reply to the responses of their classmates. The point is to keep the discussion moving, keep students engaged in the topic for the week, and facilitate learning.
The Instructor's Challenge: Moving Students beyond Opinions to Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is defined as a reflective and reasonable thought process embodying depth, accuracy, and astute judgment to determine the merit of a decision, an object, or a theory (Alwehaibi, 2012). Creative thinking involves analysis, evaluation, and a synthesizing of facts, ideas, opinions, and theories. Possessing the capacity to logically and creatively exercise in-depth judgment and reflection to work effectively in the realm of complex ideas exemplifies a critical thinker (Carmichael & Farrell, 2012).
Three Ways to Change up Your Online Discussion Board Prompts
Are you having trouble getting students to participate in online discussions? Consider using other types of prompts in addition to the typical open-ended question. Maria Ammar, assistant English professor at Frederick Community College, uses the following prompts in her English as a second language course and recommends them for other types of courses:
A Three-Pronged Approach to Improving Online Student Engagement, Critical Thinking
Monica Rothschild-Boros, an art appreciation and cultural anthropology instructor at Orange Coast College, uses a combination of embedded lecture questions, threaded discussion, and innovative assignments to engage students and get them to think critically in her online courses.
Tips for Overcoming Online Discussion Board Challenges
Discussion boards are often viewed as the heart of online courses, and for good reason: the students can interact with one another 24/7, sharing, debating, and offering ideas, insights, suggestions, and information that stimulate the learning process. Yet challenges do happen in discussion, and these can be formidable. Left alone, they can quickly limit the effectiveness of any discussion and create problems throughout the online course.

Dita debuted its first collection in 1996, inspired by the passion of co-founders Jeff Solorio and John Juniper for vintage frames from the 1950's through the 1980's.
They conceived Dita as an alternative to label-branded eyewear; nonetheless, their clients include Hollywood heavy hitters like Brad Pitt, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Kate Hudson, and Eva Mendez.

The Doctor Will Shaft You Now
But it's not his or her fault:
[D]on't get me wrong, Obamacare is awful. Forget all the "free stuff" it provides. Children covered on their parents' plan until 26 years of age? A scam, making young adults — excuse me, children — pay for complete, comprehensive health insurance when all they need and should pay for is major catastrophe insurance. Then there is the "annual " or "preventative" exam, which according to Obamacare is "free."
You gotta love this stuff. I wish I had the chutzpah of the people who wrote Obamacare. What they did not tell you, and I am, is that it covers absolutely nothing more than the bare minimum.
I have now posted a notice in my office and each exam room stating exactly what Obamacare will cover for those yearly visits. Remember Obama promised this as a free exam — no co-pay, no deductible, no charge. That's fine and dandy if you are healthy and have no complaints. However, we are obligated by law to code specifically for the reason of the visit. An annual exam is one specific code; you can not mix this with another code, say, for rectal bleeding. This annual visit covers the exam and "discussion about the status of previously diagnosed stable conditions." That's the exact wording under that code — insurance will not cover any new ailment under that code.
If you are here for that annual exam, you will not be covered if you want to discuss any new ailment or unstable condition. I cannot bait and switch to another code — that's illegal. We, the physicians, are audited all the time and can lose our license for insurance fraud.
You, the patient, will then have to make a decision.Do you want your "free" yearly exam, or do you want to pay for a visit which is coded for a particular, new problem? You can have my "free" exam if you only discuss what Obamacare wants me to discuss.
Well, what do you want for "free"? Treatment? Medicine? A cure? You get what you pay for—and what you vote for. Obamacare is the law of the land, and probably will be forevermore.
God help us:
I can hear the complaints from you guys already — I become the bad guy. "Why don't you just take care of the problem, and not bill out any different code? You're a rich doctor, and we are entitled to free stuff."
It doesn't work that way. First, doctors are not rich and, like most of you, actually work terribly hard for a living. Second, Obamacare is the law — and as I said earlier, we are audited all the time now.
Also — I don't ask for free gas when I go to the gas station, or ask for free food from the supermarket. Additionally, Obamacare has a 23% cut in Medicare reimbursement to doctors and hospitals.
These lower payments won't cover the cost of staying in practice to take care of the patient.
Some people ignored Nancy Pelosi's advice and read the bill before it was passed. They told us all about this. We knew.
But we didn't know the half of it:
On top of all of that, doctors will be obligated — that's right, obligated — to talk to you about things you may have no interest or need to talk about.
You may just want to have a pap smear or check your cholesterol. However, I am now mandated by the government to talk to you about your weight, exercise, family life, smoking, sexual abuse(!), and even to ask if you wear seat belts. And I am mandated to record your answers.
I am a physician. But I need to tell you to wear a seat belt and then record your answer.
Where's the harm, right? Seat belts protect us, smoking is harmful, sexual abuse wrong. Why shouldn't government intrude into the examination room? Heck, they should inquire about soda intake, gas mileage, and hours spent watching Fox News—all of which are deleterious to the body and the body politic. What good is socialized medicine if we don't co-opt its providers? From the AMA to the KGB.
We asked for this by reelecting Obama, and we're going to get it—good and hard.

We recently got a 6" lifted golf cart to ride around our property, since I'm having alot of trouble with my knees. Its great. But we don't have a garage to keep it in. We do have a good cover for it, but would like to keep it even more protected in the winter. I'm thinking of getting a ShelterLogic 10x10x8 portable shed. I've looked at alot of them, and this one seems to be the best for our needs. But......even though the peak is 8', the entry height is several inches too short for the roof on the golf cart to clear. (our roof is about 6'3"). I don't really want to cut the cart roof supports down. Could I do this: Put cement blocks all the way around the bottom of the "shed" and attach the bottom steel bars to the blocks with bungee cords. This would lift it up enough for the golf cart to clear the opening. But.....would it be stable in the wind? We could still somehow connect the tie-down anchors to the ground. Does this sound reasonable? Any other suggestions? Fortunately, its going to be between our shed and very tall pine trees, so it will be somewhat protected from the wind. Thanks for your help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could make a foundation of pressure treated 2x10s (or 2x6, 2x8 etc) on edge which are attached to the shed floor, with a 2x4 flange on the top edge to secure the shed onto. I wouldn't use bungees, they don't make a good permanent installation. You don't indicate what type of floor you are planning. That could make a difference on anchoring the shed. |

Thanks randy, As it turns out, when we went to pick the shed up at Tractor Supply, we discovered (dimensions on the box that weren't on the internet) that it had a 6'3" entry.....so we're good, without having to raise it up at all. Thanks for your help! |

I'm still getting used to my new digs here at The Daily Beat as everyone rushes about, delivering their stories with right-this-minute immediacy and what not. Of course, with my continuing effort to bring you up to date on the reviews from last summer and fall that were missed for a variety of reasons, my breaking news has all the timeliness of "Bin Laden is dead!" and "I'm so happy for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries — it's nice to see a celebrity couple in it for the long haul."
Luckily, the early weeks of this new year, with a couple of well-stocked exceptions, are pretty light on titles, allowing me the time and space to revisit some deserving highlights from bygone months while checking out the latest and greatest from the new calendar. Wait, there's something coming across the teletype in the Bunker — apparently, the war is over! The Falkland Islands are free at last!
Celebrate with new reviews, then some old reviews. Then a drink and possibly a nap.
Margot and the Nuclear So and So's frontman Richard Edwards may be the most tenacious man in rock. In 2009, the band's Indianapolis home base was heavily damaged by fire, they were dropped by Epic after the controversy over Animal/Not Animal and the majority of the band quit.
That would have been the end of Margot for most guys, but Edwards resurrected his outfit with bassist Tyler Watkins and multi-instrumentalist Erik Kang and, with an impressive guest list, assembled and self-released 2010's spectacular Buzzard, a clattering bit of Indie Rock brilliance that diverged from Margot's early Chamber Pop explorations.
Last year, Edwards and a completely reconstituted MATNSAS generated their recording budget through the Pledge Music website and began tracking their fourth album, the noisily majestic Rot Gut, Domestic.
Much like Buzzard, Rot Gut seems more shambolic and scattered than it really is; like a pointilist painting, it pays to stand back in order to appreciate the work. On Rot Gut, Edwards and MATNSAS have crafted an amazing amalgam of Wilco's artful squall ("Disease and Tobacco Free," "Fisher of Men") and Ryan Adams' buzzy indie evocation of '70s Rock ("Books About Trains," "Arvydas Sabonis," "Ludlow Junk Hustle") while simultaneously managing to reference the atmospheric Pop that marked their first two albums. After 10 tracks of that, MATNSAS finish up with an amazing one-two punch; the dissonant and fuzzed out "The Devil" is followed, logically enough, by the exquisite balladry of "Christ," a Randy Newman-meets-Paul Westerberg piano-and-ethereal-frippery hymn ("Jesus breaks your heart every night when He doesn't come").
The scariest thing about Rot Gut, Domestic is that Richard Edwards and Margot and the Nuclear So and So's might have an even better album than this minor masterpiece in them.
Detroit producers/Electro musicians Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley formed its new project Jamaican Queens last year, following the demise of their previous band, Prussia. The pair bonded over a mutual love for Hip Hop production, something that would find itself central to Jamaican Queens winding sound. Together less than a year, the twosome's single "Kids Get Away" introduced the newcomers with a sound that blends EDM, Hip Hop sounds and rhythms and a somewhat psychedelic brand of Indie Pop.
The band calls its music "Trap Pop," a reference to the Trap style of Hip Hop that is something of a successor to the old Southern Crunk style. Still, you won't mistake Jamaican Queens' music for T.I.'s — JQ's unpredictable, fluttering style recalls MGMT's last two albums had the Electronic aspects of their music been more prominent.
Jamaican Queens' first full-length, Wormfood, is due in February and was mixed by Christopher Lazlo Koltay, a former Cincinnati musician who has been enjoying a successful engineering/production career in Detroit the past several years, working with artists like The Dirtbombs and Akron/Family. Here's the song that has garnered the band the most attention so far, "Kids Get Away."
• At this weekend's Whispering Beard Folk Festival in Southeast Indiana, masterful Cold Spring, Ky., Americana group The Kentucky Struts debuted their great new music video for the ominous, creeping and soulful tune, "Country Road," from their The Year of the Horse album. The band made the video with Keith Neltner and Brian Steege, who worked on the documentary Charlie Louvin: Still Rattlin' the Devil's Cage. (Read more about the Struts recent album from CityBeat here.)

• Gifted local Hip Hop MC Buggs Tha Rocka (who, along with a solo career, also fronts the great live Hip Hop band Gold Shoes; read CityBeat's profile here) recently debuted the video for the third single (the previous two, "Hold Me Back" and "The Warm Up," also got the music vid treatment) off of his Wrath of Zeus album. The album is available for free download here. The latest video (made with Moxy Monster and PRES Productions) is for the track "Chicken Soup for Tha Soul."Eclectic Cincinnati Reggae crew The Cliftones — one of the best Reggae outfits in the region — will be celebrating the release of their latest single, "Hold Steady," this Saturday with a show at Northside club Mayday. DJ Mowgli will also perform. Advanced tickets are available now for $7 here. The first 100 people through the door will receive a free download card giving access to the single.
Like the band's previously released single — "Hard Ground," released in January — The Cliftones once again have some legendary ears/mixing fingers involved with "Hold Steady." "Hard Ground" was mixed in D.C. by Jim Fox, who has worked with icons like Black Uhuru, Gregory Isaacs, Barrington Levy and Culture. For "Hold Steady," DJ Prophecy (known for work with Bassnectar and Glitch Mob) handled the mixing, while Dub legend Scientist handled mastering duties.
The Cliftones will be unleashing two more singles in the coming months, leading up to a vinyl EP release this summer. Find out more about The Cliftones here and here.
Here's the exclusive stream of "Hold Steady":
Tonight's allegedly the "busiest bar night of the year," so if you like to hang out at places that are really packed, this is your jam. If you like to hear live music when you go out, you're also in luck, as a lot of the top acts seek out lucrative Wednesday-before-Turkey-Day gigs because of the aforementioned packed-ness.
If you want that live music to be (primarily) original, here are a few recommendations.
• Troy, Ohio-spawned Miss May I (whose singer, Levi Benton, recently moved to Cincinnati) is headlining the Alternative Press tour, which conveniently brings the increasingly popular "Metalcore" band back to their homeland just in time for Thanksgiving. The band's most recent release, At Heart (on Rise Records), came out this summer and was greeted with the best reviews of MMI's career and a No. 32 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
The thrashy, melodic MMI headlines tonight at Bogart's in Corryville on a bill that also features The Ghost Inside, Like Moths to Flames, The Amity Affliction and Glass Cloud. Doors open at 6 p.m. and tickets to the all-ages show are $20.
Read CityBeat's interview with Benton here then check out Miss May I's most recent music video, for At Heart track "Day By Day."
• Vintage Rock & Roll stylist Chris Isaak makes his way to downtown Cincinnati tonight for an 8 p.m. show at the Taft Theatre. Tickets range from $29.50-$59.50. Isaak's going to have to play the show then hop on a plane quickly — he's slated to perform in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York City. (Click here to read CityBeat's full preview of the show.)
Isaak recently issued a live DVD based on his 2011 double-disc release Beyond the Sun (his first for the Vanguard label). The album was a collection of cover songs originally recorded by artists on Memphis' seminal Sun Records (from Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis to Carl Perkins and, of course, Elvis), a fitting tribute given Isaak's similar approach and sound. The new Chris Isaak Live! Beyond the Sun DVD is a concert flick featuring several songs from the Sun album, as well as some of his big hits. Expect to hear a similar set list tonight. Here's an Isaak original from the DVD, "Live It Up."
• The songcraft experts and flawless musicians of veteran Cincy Pop/Rock band The Newbees host an album release party tonight at Newport's Southgate House Revival. The release show was originally intended to be the second show at the new club (brought to you by the owners/operators of the old, beloved Southgate House across from Newport on the Levee) but a late code inspection held the grand opening up for a week. The Newbs are celebrating their LP Modern Vintage, a patchwork of musical styles and mercilessly catchy songs. Click here for a full review of the album.
The Newbees are joined tonight by The Turkeys, Chaselounge, Honey & Houston, Les Whorenettes, Shiny Old Soul, See You in the Funnies, Sundae Drives and Dave Hawkins. Tickets are $12 at the door (or $14 for those ages 18-20). Showtime is 9 p.m. Here's the Beatles-esque new album track "Up All Night":
• There are also plenty of other local original groups performing tonight. Among the highlights: Reggae/Rock crew The Ohms and soulful, rocking power trio Tattered Roots (which is celebrating its one-year anniversary) join together at Stanley's Pub in Columbia Tusculum. … Rootsy rockers Alone at 3 a.m. are playing a freebie at The Comet in Northside with Jacob Tippey and Matt Wood. … Electronic improvisers Skeetones hold down the party at The Mad Frog in Corryville, joined by guests The B.E.A.T. and Bassface. … Two former members of The Greenhornes — Brian Olive and Eric Stein — perform a free show at Northside Tavern with their current bands, The Brian Olive Band and Stein's Grotesque Brooms. … Rocket-fueled Indie/Blues/Roots/Rock trio The Sundresses headline tonight's free offering at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine, joined by Detroit foursome Jeecy and the Jungle. … And two of the city's best modern rockers — Ohio Knife and State Song — perform a free show at Mayday in Northside (see poster above).

Loudon Wainwright III could very easily have slid into the where-are-they-now realm of celebrity obscurity if he had allowed himself to be swallowed up by the one-hit wonderment of "Dead Skunk" in 1972. Although most people at the time only knew him for that ubiquitous single, Wainwright was confident that he had plenty of other weapons in his songwriting arsenal and set about to define the 40-year Folk/Pop career that has brought him certain measures of acclaim, wealth and notoriety as a songwriter, performer, actor and dysfunctional family man, each role woven inextricably into the fabric of the others (remember when he was Captain Spalding, the singing surgeon on M*A*S*H?). Clearly, the two paths that have intersected most often in Wainwright's life are music and family; his itinerant singer/songwriter's existence has been both a positive and a negative in his numerous attempts at familial stability and his parents, wives and children have been an endless source of grist for his songwriting mill.
Chief among Wainwright's influences has been his often larger-than-life father, whose death at 63 left a gaping hole in his 17-year-old son's life and psyche. A great deal of Wainwright's unresolved love and anger issues concerning his father have been worked out in his songs over the past few decades, but his latest uniformly excellent album finds him looking back at his long timeline after reaching the milestone birthday of 65, a momentous and bittersweet benchmark that inspired the album's title; Older Than My Old Man Now.
Like much of his recent work, Wainwright explores the familiar subjects of family, aging, death and lust on Old Man, which he does with typical candor, humor and reflection. Wainwright opens with the jazzy "The Here & the Now," an annotated but honest account of his 65 years ("I took a wife, we had some kids/I screwed that up and went on the skids"), a history that he continues tracing on the contemplative and mournful "In C." In the eloquent spoken word intro to the title track, Wainwright calls his father his "principal ghost" and then launches into a Delta-flavored vamp that addresses the psychic conundrum of having more calendars under his belt than his dad ("Sixty four is awful old, you know what can happen next/Hey, I'm older than my old man ever was, and I'm trying to keep it in context").
Wainwright's broad range is best typified by the ridiculously funny "I Remember Sex," a parlor piano duet with Barry Humphries' female alter ego Dame Edna Everidge, and the sublimely heartbreaking realizations of "The Days That We Die," where Wainwright expounds, in prose and rhyme, on the reality of getting closer to life's finish line without having fully reconciled with his children for his real and imagined sins. Listening to Wainwright and son Rufus trade soul-searching verses about life and change and forgiveness will bring a tear to the most cynical eye.
Over the course of the past few albums, Wainwright has honed his songwriting style to a fine point and narrowed his focus to very personal issues which he has translated into impossibly universal songs. Older Than My Old Man Now finds him in peak form in that regard, and reinforces the idea that he's probably got plenty more to say on every subject as his finite journey heads inexorably toward the infinite horizon.
On June 4, one of the more beloved bands in Cincinnati (and, increasingly, the rest of the country), Indie Pop greats The Seedy Seeds, announced that they were going on "break" on their Facebook page. The post was worded to suggest this is an "indefinite hiatus" — the words "break up" were not used, but there's no sign of activity from the band on the horizon (fans are also leaving "R.I.P." messages on their Facebook page).
In the "break" announcement that sounds like a "goodbye" one, the trio writes, "While we each have new projects to which we must now turn our energies, it's very hard to imagine how to live any moments from this point on as anything but Seedy Seeds."
Some of those new projects have been making themselves known recently. Seed Margaret Darling has been performing her solo material regularly on the local club front and, yesterday, it was announced she has some touring in her immediate future.
The band Distant Correspondent, described as Indie Dream Pop and featuring members located in different cities around the world, announced that Darling will be joining them on their upcoming fall tour. The supergroup made itself known to the public earlier this year and received a lot of press right off the bat. The band features David Obuchowski from Brooklyn's Goes Cube, the U.K.'s Emily Gray (from British Post Rock crew and John Peel faves Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia), multi-instrumentalist Michael Lengel on drums (whom Obuchowski met when he moved to Colorado) and Seattle bassist Tyler Wilcox, as well as fantastic Indie singer/songwriter Edith Frost (who is not touring with the band this fall).
Here's what Obuchowski had to say about bringing Darling into the fold:
Being in a band with members in different cities and even countries is pretty liberating. Sure, it's not always the easiest thing in the world from a practical standpoint. But the flip-side is that it affords us the opportunity work with musicians we love, even if they don't live close.
With that in mind, we're thrilled to announce that we'll be bringing along Cincinnati-based solo artist, MARGARET DARLING as our featured vocalist for our upcoming record release tour. We're big fans of Margaret's solo work, and her work in the now-defunct Cincinnati indie-pop powerhouse THE SEEDY SEEDS. In fact, when it came time to put together a show in Cincinnati for our record release tour, we asked Margaret Darling to share the bill with us before we tapped any other artist. Margaret's music (as a solo artist and with her former band, The Seedy Seeds) has been described as "dizzying, perplexing and wonderfully fun" (NPR), and "no less than impressive - intimate and addictive" (CincyMusic.com).
Darling is joining the tour as "guest vocalist," beginning on the opening date in Denver on Oct. 23, the day after the band's self-titled album is released through Hot Congress/Old Flame Records. Click here to check out the music video for the Distant Correspondent track "Summit."
Meanwhile, Darling's Seedy Seeds co-founder Mike Ingram has been busy as a road sound technician, but he has found time to work with a new collaborator, great local singer/songwriter/guitarist Jasmine Poole, who works under the name Wonky Tonk.
Ingram (who harmonizes and plays guitar) and Poole have been working on new Wonky Tonk material and, given their hectic schedules, they even created a cyber-concert for fans to check out while they wait for it.
Wonky Tonk Live Aug 2013 from Wonky Tonk on Vimeo.
As luck would have it, both musicians are currently in town and tonight will be performing at the Nothside Tavern. The free show (in the club's "front room") features Wonky Tonk, Mr. Pointy and Kyrst and starts at 9 p.m.When Joan Osborne vaulted into the public consciousness with Relish, her 1995 major label debut, she had already established a loyal fan base that was well aware of her estimable Jazz and Soul skills. With Soul Show in 1991 and the Blue Million Miles EP in 1993, Osborne displayed her smoldering vocal chops and her unerring ability to write to her own strengths as well as inhabit another writer's song (her take on Captain Beefheart's "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" was a marvel). Largely a collaboration with producer Rick Chertoff, Hooters frontmen Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman and Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, Relish rightly pushed Osborne into Rock/Pop territory and the well-deserved spotlight, but it was only marginally indicative of her loves and influences.
For the past decade and a half, Osborne has made no secret of her musical passions as she's fleshed out her catalog with a string of soulful original albums, covers albums (2002's How Sweet It Is) and blends of the two (2007's excellent Breakfast in Bed).
With her latest, Bring It On Home, Osborne heads directly into the Blues/R&B camp with predictably great results, from the opening swing of Ray Charles' version of "I Don't Need No Doctor" and a blistering spin through "Roll Like a Big Wheel" from obscure Blues shaker Olive Brown to a down and dirty take on James Moore's iconic "Shake Your Hips" (nailed by the Stones on Exile on Main Street) and a shivering R&B tailfeather shake of Clarence Carter's "I'm Qualified."
As usual, Osborne's gift in covering other songwriters' works lies in her innate talent in melding the spirit and intent of the original song with her own singular approach to come up with a version that is both tribute and appropriate reinvention, and Bring It On Home finds Osborne at the peak of her abilities.

This Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato "Alfredo" is a wonderful recipe for a few reasons. First, it's absolutely delicious. The sun-dried tomato flavoring gives this sauce one of the best flavors I've tasted since going mostly plant-based in my eating.
Second, it's so easy to make! I mean the only thing you have to "cook" is the pasta. Really, that's it. Isn't that great?
Third, this "alfredo" is better for you than its fat-laden (and yes, I'll add delicious!) cousins. Using lite silken tofu and cashews helps provide the creamy texture that wonderfully coats the pasta. Cashews are a great alternative to using heavy dairy creams in recipes, and the tofu makes the sauce go further.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, and you have a dish that packs a nutritional punch of fiber, protein, calcium, antioxidants, and more! And the artichoke hearts are worth a mention, too. They are full of health benefits including aiding digestion, lowering cholesterol, and possessing a high amount of the antioxidant vitamin C.
So, what are you waiting for? Why don't you give it a try and let me know what you think!
Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato "Alfredo"
(Adapted from Tosca Reno's "Penne with No-Cook Sun-Dried Tomato Tofu Cream, Artichoke Hearts and Basil" recipe in The Eat-Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook.)
• 12-16 ounces of pasta of your choice (I used 12-ounces of tri-colored penne pasta)
• 1 (12.3 ounce) package firm lite silken tofu, drained, at room temperature
• ½ cup raw unsalted cashews
• ½ cup hot water
• 1 cup rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil), drained
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (or more, to taste)
• 1 (12 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
• ¼ teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
"Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and cook the pasta according to package directions until 'al dente'. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Do not rinse the pasta. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
In a blender (or food processor), blend the tofu, cashews and hot water until very smooth. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, [nutritional yeast], salt and pepper, and blend until combined, but you can still see little chunks of tomatoes. Pour over the pasta, add the artichoke hearts, and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta cooking liquid a bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency" (Tosca Reno).
The original recipe called for one tablespoon of chopped marjoram, which I didn't have on hand. Also, I added nutritional yeast to my version for more of a "cheesy" flavor. And Tosca's name for this recipe was just entirely too long for my blog post title, so that is why I've renamed it.

John Furlong backs off defamation suit against Georgia Straight
The former CEO of the Vancouver Olympics, John Furlong, won't proceed with a defamation suit against the Georgia Straight, publisher and editor Dan McLeod, and editor Charlie Smith.
Less than a year after filing his claim in B.C. Supreme Court—and before the case had reached examination for discovery—Furlong filed a notice of discontinuance in B.C. Supreme Court on October 29.
The article that sparked the suit, by freelance writer Laura Robinson, revealed that Furlong moved to Burns Lake in 1969 as a Christian Apostle. He worked as a gym teacher at Immaculata Elementary School, and eight former students have sworn affidavits alleging that they either experienced or witnessed physical abuse.
"In our opinion, this notice of discontinuance represents a complete vindication of the Georgia Straight's position that the article was a responsible communication on matters of public interest—a defence recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2009," McLeod said.
Furlong is continuing with his defamation claim against Robinson.
I don't think I'd be patting myself on the back this soon.
It is possible that her sources fabricated their stories for their own purposes, but Robinson simply reported their sworn statements and found that Furlong has deliberately tried to conceal the truth of his early days in Canada in his book when the alleged events occurred. This raises some suspicious flags at the very least.
Let the courts sort this out, with clarity, facts and fair judgement. If Furlong is innocent then let his name be rightfully cleared and those who have lied about him be punished. If Furlong is not innocent, then let the truth come out.
He does not deserve a free pass where anyone else would not get one simply because he is wealthy and incredibly well connected. Truth and justice should work the same way for everyone.
How was Laura Robinson undeserving, unqualified, and irresponsible?
Personally, I don't read much stuff about celebrities's personal lives because I don't feel it is relevant, and sometimes has stripped me of enjoying their work - thinking of Michael Jackson as a musician is now like thinking of Hermann Goering as an art collector.
But if this is a legit field of news, then Laura Robinson did a good job. She got a tip, she followed it up, wrote it very well, and the Straight to its extreme credit put it into print, probably knowing that lawsuits would follow.
This is what happens when you write your autobiography, and in particular when your autobiography is self-serving whitewash.
So does this means that Fulong's lawyers are in fact throwing in the towel because in court they don't really have a viable case and never did, or was it perhaps the countersuit had actually been a bluff and a scare tactic all along, whereby Fulong's lawyers had been using a "strong offence" disguised as a defence but which had actually lacked validity meaning that they really had no case? I think both.
Of course that rather pesky law about "being innocent until proven guilty" was fortunately still in effect the last time I checked.
Could of gone either way.
Sounds to me like John has had enough and just wants to move forward. Losing your wife tragically like he did could knock a guy down pretty hard.
Of the era. Many P E teachers were sadistic jerks at times. Historical context and memory are factors to consider as well I believe. I am inclined to pity the guy now. That is, unless the basest of accusations are true. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But guilty by media, Charlie. That is not right.
Furlong has to keep up the media profile and speaking gigs.
It should also be noted that Furlong's wife died in a head on car crash 6 months ago.
As of yet, Plaintiff's lawyers have not set a date for discovery and in fact have sent only two letters and two emails to Robinson's lawyers, the rest has been a Plaintiff lead media circus, with a very compliant mainstream media!
It seems the plaintiff wants a trial by media, which certainly points to a very questionable outcome. Trial by media, tends to be orchestrated by very expensive PR firms, to hide their clients true guilt.
I fear that the plaintiff in this case is going to have exceptionally expensive and disappointing results, if the plaintiff continues on the present course.
I hope the Georgia Straight goes the way of the News of the World

Really wanted to love this- the sa insisted it looked "gorgeous" on me but i was unsure- who knows how colors will look in real life compared to the lighting in store. But I figured what the heck since I was able to do b2m for it. Of course my initial instincts were right, this looked awful on me- clashed with my skin tone and hair and made my teeth look yellow- ick! Ive been able to wear some corals before but this wasnt destined to be one of them. I was easily able to swap it away to a good home, so alls well that ends well...
I love the colour of this lippie, but just not on me. It is very sheer and after multiple layers it settles into my liplines, even after sufficient lipbalm/lipbutters. I tried swiping it on, patting it on, and applying it with a brush----none of which helped the application. I also topped it off with several different glosses (Frankly Fresh, Partial to Pink and Korres Rose Cherry Oil Lipgloss) and it didn't help acheive the colour I was looking for. Even after reading the reviews I really hoped it would be more opaque. Perhaps patting a thin layer of concealer or another matte nude lippie will help to bring out the full potential of this colour---but that's just too much work for a lippie. Love the packaging though!
UPDATE: I've been able to make this work by applying Guerlain's Kiss Kiss Baby Stick gloss prior to Ever Hip. The gloss is like a tinted balm (comes in nude colors), so it gives me the moisture I need, plus a hint of color to help me acheive the color I so wanted with Ever Hip. It shows up a nice pink/coral with no settling in my lip lines.
For reference, I am nc37 and have very pigmented lips. This color is just okay. It takes a lot of work to make it work for me-I have to use a gloss or balm undrneath or else it comes out kind of patchy. I always have to smooth it out with my finger after I apply whether I use balm or gloss or just straight. One layer is very sheer tine, 3-4 layers gives pretty orange lips which I then need to sheer it out with my finger. nice trendy color but a lot work
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was my first coral lipstick purchase from Mac and OOH Emm Gee it is such a great color! It's like a pinky coral but it's the perfect coral for spring. And the Give Me Liberty of London packaging is super cute! I have noticed though that with this color I do have to apply and apply and apply to get the perfect color because it is so sheer, but I don't mind that. It goes perfect with Perennial High Style lipgloss over it. Mac should def make this a permanent lipstick, I'm even considering getting a back up! If you go to your local Mac counter don't skip out on this lipstick! Get it while you can.
This lipstick is a gorgeous pinky-coral when applied to the lips, its very creamy and well pigmented. Although I have very pigmented lips this shows up fantastic and looks stunning, it awakens my whole face.
This works great with my pale complexion and is a staple for Spring and Summer.
Being a fan of coral lipsticks I must say this is one of my all time favourites! I already have Costa Chic, Shy Girl, Lollipop Loving (just to mention MAC) but I think that what makes Ever Hip perfect is the exact amount of pink in it. That's the reason why I think it flatters many skin tones, not only warmer ones.
All I have to say is PLEASE make this a permanent colour MAC. This one of a the few true coral colours to come out of a MAC collection and because it's a shade between pink and orange it's can work well with a lot of skin tones. Being a uber fair individual with auburn hair I'm finding myself wearing this one daily along with Fresh Salmon.
The Liberty of London Packaging was cute but I'm in love with this colour.
I'm posting a swatch as well on my skin.
I know it's early to say but.... Holy Grail lipstick? I think so :) this colour is absolutely beautiful: a creamy, bright coral with a pink undertone. It's the perfect everyday type of colour to wear with pretty much any eye makeup, whether it's a simple winged-out eyeliner or a smokey eye. It's a creamsheen formula so it's not drying and it's quite pigmented. On top of everything, the packaging is to die for! I always want to take it out of my bag and reapply cause it's so damn pretty and unique <3 definitely wishing this wasn't a limited edition product.
This is my new favorite lip color. When I saw swatches online I didn't think I wanted it but after trying it on at the MAC counter, I fell in love. It's a great springtime coral that works great on a variety of skin tones. I'm pretty pale and I feel like this color does wonders to warm up my face. I like to layer a pink gloss over the top to tone down the brightness.

NYC Community Land Access Summary
A New York City Advocate's Summary of Routes to Land Access for Community Uses
There are many things you could create with access to vacant public land in your neighborhood. A playground? A community garden? A butterfly garden or other wildlife habitat? A space for concerts, meetings, or movie screenings? All that's needed is some organizing ingenuity and imagination.
Many existing NYC community-controlled public lots are licensed through GreenThumb, a part of the Department of Parks and Recreation. GreenThumb is a route to long term and interim-use licenses between gardeners and City agencies that own land.
GreenThumb also sometimes shepherds interim projects on formerly vacant public land into becoming permanently protected projects by transferring them to the Department of Parks and Recreation.
596 Acres can help your group prepare an application for a GreenThumb license on vacant public land and advocate for permanent protection for an existing site. Using the map on 596acres.org, you can identify sites that are opportunities for Green Thumb licenses. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development, NYC's urban renewal agency, encourages interim use on its sites and met their commitment of licensing 25 new sites between January 2011 and January 2013. You'll need support from your community board to use their land; read out our outreach to them here.
Within the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) campuses, most community-organized spaces are gardens. There are hundreds of gardens on NYCHA campuses. With some narrow exceptions, NYCHA land is reserved for gardening by NYCHA residents; gardening on NYCHA property by NYCHA residents is supported by the NYCHA Garden and Greening Program. If your project seeks to work with NYCHA residents to grow food on NYCHA property, 596 Acres can help you craft a formal proposal to present to NYCHA officials. In 2013, NYCHA partnered with Added Value in Red Hook to build a working farm at the Red Hook Houses.
Some sites on vacant land in New York City exist by means of an agreement directly between community organizations and the specific City agency that has site control over the land. The Gowanus Canal Conservancy, Added Value in Red Hook, and the new Myrtle Village Green site in northern Bed-Stuy are examples of groups that have access to formerly vacant public land by having an agreement directly with a City agency.
Using the map on 596acres.org, you can identify potential sites for community projects as interim, temporary projects or long-term projects. You can also look for 596 Acres signs on the fences of the lots in your life: we have labeled many vacant public lots in all five boroughs. 596 Acres can help your group negotiate an agreement with any agency that oversees vacant public land.
You can see the gardens that exist now in NYC on public land at 596acres.org (turn on the layer called "community gardens on public land").
The Department of Citywide Administrative Services has been under a mandate from City Council since December of 2011 to maintain a searchable database of all city-owned and city-leased property with the goal of gathering information regarding whether properties might be suitable for community use. This database is part of the way we put lots on the map at 596acres.org; the portion regarding whether lots are determined to be suitable for urban agriculture and other community projects was added on November 15, 2013 (the column is faaaar to the right on this spreadsheet; note that lots under 2500 square feet are not considered urban agriculture-appropriate, but they might make nice small community spaces nonetheless).
Some NYC community spaces are part of a "land trust". Land trusts are non-profit organizations whose mission is to conserve land, usually for the benefit of the public in the form of parks and open spaces. In NYC, local land trusts, such as the Bronx Land Trust, the Manhattan Land Trust, the Brooklyn-Queens Land Trust, and the Brooklyn Alliance of Neighborhood Gardeners have acquired many plots with the express purpose of keeping them open to the public as community gardens or other community spaces. The land's public use is made permanent in its deed - the legal document that conveys ownership to the land trust. Future owners of the land may have to to continue its use as a community garden (or other acceptable public use). If the owner can or will not continue such use, they may have to convey the land to another organization that could keep up its use as a community space.
596 Acres can help your group develop a successful strategy to conserve your land for public use (forever!), based on tried and proven models used by other land trusts. Restricting a piece of land forever (a restriction that is referred to as "running with the land") is possible by making sure the intention is specified in the deed that conveys the land to the land trust. Sample deeds can be found here to give you an idea of how these restrictions are phrased to achieve maximum effect.
Some community sites in NYC are privately owned by organizations whose mission it is to support them, like the New York Restoration Project. Some are owned by the organization that runs them, like the 1100 Bergen Street Block Association in Crown Heights. Some public spaces are simply there with the permission of the landowner (others are on privately owned land without the owner's permission).
Many vacant lots in New York City are privately owned. Individual community groups and private landowners who see the benefits of having a site actively used, versus sitting abandoned and vacant, sometimes work together to create community spaces and opportunities. The big difference is that when working with a private owner it is really all about the relationship.
A good online tool that might help you find an existing community garden to plug into is Garden Maps (it shows gardens on public AND private land). An even better tool is your feet - take a walk and find the ones in your neighborhood!
We have more detailed information about working with private land owners here.

The Pirates just might acquire themselves a veteran rotation presence (in the form of A.J. Burnett) for the low price of basically nothing. Sounds like a great plan! Except for one thing…a thing we will get to in a moment.
On the surface, the murmurs of A.J. Burnett going to Pittsburgh (not San Francisco, to some local chagrin) are getting louder. That just might be a good thing for the Pirates. Less so for A.J. Burnett.
Getting A.J. Burnett the heck away from the AL East is probably a good thing for all involved. Burnett faces some of the stiffest competition of all starters in 2011 while pitching in one of the hitter-friendliest ballparks around. Burnett surrendered 19 home runs at home in 2011 and 18 home runs against right-handed batters overall last season. Pittsburgh's PNC Park is a great place to rectify both those problems as it offers one of the lowest HR factors for right-handed hitters (73) in baseball.
Moving to a more forgiving park and facing (slightly) easier competition makes A.J. a more palatable choice. While getting older, Burnett remains very durable, making 30+ starts each of the last four years. Sounds like a plan! Order your Burnett Buccos jersey today!
Except for two things, really: Burnett doesn't exactly give up cheap home runs. A.J. Burnett doesn't have the best reputation.
At the risk of overextending/embarrassing myself, I will tread lightly into the latter. At this stage of his career, cast out to the baseball hinterland, what kind of effort does one expect to get from A.J. Burnett? Already secured his final payday, playing out the string without any pressing desire to win a ring (got two, suckers! Your move, Halladay!) or realistically compete for another? I don't know much about his makeup but the things you hear – they aren't so good.
As for the former. The average home run surrendered across the Major Leagues in 2011 was thrown 0.375 feet (4.5 inches) from the center of the plate. A.J. Burnett's home runs were thrown an average of 0.216 feet (a little more than 2.6 inches) from the center for the plate. Less than one full standard deviation but Burnett is clearly not afraid to groove one. Or two. Or thirty-two separate pitches last season. No ballpark can save pitches thrown over the geometric center of the plate, as Jeff Sullivan demonstrates.
Rob Neyer suggests acquiring the flame throwing (past life) Burnett makes sense for the Pirates if he's healthy as he just might turn into a decent trade chip and will likely cost next to nothing. The big question remains: are the Pirates confident they can get anything worthwhile from, as Mister Parkes so delicately put it, the Rotting Corpse of A.J. Burnett.

KAVANAGH: Press must withdraw from panto stitch-up
LORD Justice Leveson is hacked off, I hear. Serves him right, you might think, for letting actor Hugh Grant turn his inquiry into a pantomime.
But Sir Brian's close pals say he is more depressed about his once-stellar career than he is about rows over Press freedom.

Final Thoughts
The Gainward card might actually look quite familiar to some as it shares the same design as the Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe card we looked at not long ago. The purchase of Gainward by Palit is the whole reason the company is actually now doing ATI based graphics cards.
The thing is, though, as we were impressed with the Palit offering, we are also with the Gainward. Sure, the cooler is huge and placing two of them in a system together is going to be nothing short of extremely difficult; but he card really does tick all the right boxes.
While being more expensive, it's not excessive. And while the cooler is large and makes it a little difficult to install in Crossfire configs, most people will simply find just one card is plenty. Performance is similar to slightly faster over a stock clocked card, but temperatures are down and connectivity is up with Display Port and HDMI present.
At the end of it all, if you want something with even more power but love the overall design, then the "Goes Like Hell" Golden Sample is also available. While the package is a bit on the light side, the card itself is fantastic and if you're looking for one of the meaner HD 4870 X2 cards on the market, definitely have a good look at the Gainward Golden Sample line.

QLOCKTWO Touch Verbal Alarm Clock: Wake Up With the Words
A while ago, we reported about the QLOCKTWO, a stylish wall clock that used words instead of numbers to show the time. It was somewhat of a big clock, and it was also quite expensive (~$1,100), which is why I kind of like this new, smaller desktop version. This model is is the QLOCKTWO Touch and it's touch-sensitive and comes packed with LEDs.
The sharp text outlines are easily visible thanks to the bright LEDs inside. You can engage the snooze function by simply touching the clock. The clock is machined from a single block aluminum. It comes in seven different colors, and the front panel is held in place by magnets, so you can switch colors if you get bored. It's also available in English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Russian and Spanish.
It also offers an alarm clock mode, which can be snoozed by simply touching the face of the clock. The reading light mode illuminates the entire clock face, switching on all 114 LEDs inside. Get ready to pay for all of this style, because the QLOCKTWO Touch sells for $599 to $650 (USD) at the Biegert & Funk store.

As the world turns and the other members of Danity Kane continue to siphon gas from their neighbors' cars to make it to their respective workplaces, Dawn Richard currently graces the digital issue cover of Stuff Fly People Like Magazine. The singer promoted the independent release of her 'Goldenheart' EP on Tuesday (January 15) at J&R Music World in New York City.
Here's what she had to share with the magazine:
"I want the hearts to feel the message that we need to fight for that love and passion we used to have for ourselves and each other. I really am just trying to bring worlds together through music. I feel like now we're in a time where we are very divided, angry, and we hate a lot. I think with my music what I am trying to do is build an army of people who fight for something together instead of against each other."
"With that inspiration I wanted you to have the 'Armor On' to guard yourself and prepare for the battle. What goes on in the album is that we actually stand together and fight for one another on the front line and we're not fighting against each other, we're fighting with each other for the people who don't believe that we're beautiful enough, great enough, brown enough, or white enough. We do it in a way that isn't preachy or corny."

Hi all,
My company Christmas party is this coming Friday night. I set the whole thing up mainly because I'm the new one on board (And the only female working with about 10 guys) and because I want to meet everyone's families, kids, spouses, etc. Anyway everyone is really up and excited about it, but EVERYONE (the guys) are asking me, "what are the KIDS going to do during the two hours?" !!!! Any ideas? The age range is between 2 years of age to up to 11 years of age. There will be about 20 adults and 10 kids. Mainly the age range is pre-schoolers and around that age. My 5 year old girl is bringing a bag full of Barbies and other fun toys (like puzzles) for the girls. I am going to be playing Christmas music, have LOTS of finger foods, eggnog, brownies with little teddy grahams baked into them... etc... it is VERY kid oriented yet adult oriented, too. I just don't have a "Game plan" so to speak! I like going to parties where there IS no set plan, you just arrive and eat, drink, be merry, listen to music. But people seem worried about the kids getting bored. The building that I work in is breathtaking... it is an old house with ornate fireplaces in every room (office), real wood floors, high ceilings, etc. I'm not worried about any messes because in truth, our cleaning crew is great and they'll be in the following day anyway. I don't want to put anyone in charge of the small group of kids. I'm sure they will play on their own, or stick by their parents. The whole idea behind this party is for the adults to meet the other adults, and to introduce the kids/spouses to each other... not to babysit! Are the toys going to be enough... or should I run out and get some games or something??? - darkeyedgirl |
Follow-Up Postings:
My company had a kid friendly party once and had a clown there to entertain the kids. He made balloon animals and stuff like that. Also there was someone painting faces. But, this was for a much larger group of kids than you are talking about, and it was also in the summer near a pool. The problem is that it's hard to come up with something for the age spans you are having there. From two to eleven, they have very different interests. I think you might want to think about hiring someone to entertain the kids. |

Just hosted my husband's company Christmas party (including children) on Sunday....we held the party at our home. I have teenagers and they were in charge of taking care of the little ones (we only had six little ones ranging in ages from 2-7). We rented age appropriate videos, but the "hit" was our outside firepit/patio - the kids roasted marshmellows (with a few parents' supervision). Anyway, my biggest suggestion would be to hire a few teenagers to watch and entertain the children....the younger children love the enteraction of the older kids, and the adults will be free to socialize. Some folks were skeptical of a Christmas party including children, but it was our best party ever - the children were delightful! Best of luck. donna |
When I have gone to parties like this, they set up a kids' room with a TV and a good christmas video or two to keep them busy. Also there were books and toys. The older kids enjoyed entertaining the younger kids. |

If you are having hired music then inform the MC to bring along their children's bag of tricks. Most DJs and Band Leaders that have done any parties involving children have a bunch of music related games etc that keep the children hopping and sometimes the adults along with them. |
How about an appearance from Santa complete with small gifts. Our office does this every year and it the highglight of the party. |

Can you find a couple of teenagers to be on hand in case the kids need supervision? |
- Posted by Donna Marsteller(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Dec 11, 01 at 12:34
Over the years we have had several company Christmas parties with the kids. They usually have santa and a small age appropriate gift. They sell the santa suits at walmart for around 30 dollars and one of the guys would do that. We also had a craft table set up and the kids would do Christmas crafts. You could also have coloring pages and crayons, play Christmas movies or have someone read stories to them. If you have room you could have a moonwalk jumpy thing but you will need an adult or older teenager to monitor that. As a mother I have enjoyed the get togethers much more when my kids were appropriately entertained and monitored. I would be leary about leaving them unattended in a room of 10 children even if I was in the same building. For the non Christmas parties they always hired a clown(who was wonderful) and rented the jumpy things. I actually was able to sit down, relax and eat a meal. It was very nice. Good Luck!! |

I have faxed the local radio station for songs that I think would be festive. My CD player isn't working (figures). I am not going to hire a band or anything like that... it's only for 2 hours AND we have a strict budget! There will only be one teenager here, he is 16 (BOY). Not interested and would be offended to have to watch kids. I have brainstormed a bit and decided on having a treasure hunt all over the office, with a prize for whoever finds the 3 items quickest! One of my coworkers has a Santa suit and is going to dress up... that should be great fun. I have red and green construction paper, I may set it out in the other dining room with some crayons/markers and have the kids color if they get bored. We have no TV here, either, so a movie is out... Thanks for all of your suggestions... thankfully this is going to be a short party and very laid back! From what I gather I'm the only one staying from start to finish and I have 2 of the 12 kids attending! - darkeyedgirl |

Yin Yoga is an excellent way to balance our Mental, Physical & Spiritual health and wellbeing. Beginning with bringing the focus on the breath, we are gently guided into comfortable Yoga postures. Yin emphasizes the relaxation of the connective tissue underlying our skin, which envelops the muscles, bones, and vital organs, including the brain. This connective tissue does not react quickly as do our muscles in everyday activities (Yang). With muscles relaxed, in a series of gentle yoga poses, over a period of 3 to 5 minutes each, we lie on a yoga mat restfully, during guided meditation. With patience and little effort, we receive amazing results. Acupuncture meridians are also in our connective tissue, Yin Yoga is specifically designed to stimulate them, further bringing us to a feeling of Spiritual, Mental & Physical wellbeing. Come. Learn more about the many benefits as you relax, refresh and renew with Susan Marple. 7pm-8:30pm Please pre-register by April 10th, fee $15 | ||

Anatomy of a Privacy Nightmare
Roblimo posted more than 3 years ago | from the jump-in-a-hole-and-pull-it-in-behind-you dept.
275itwbennett writes "Gennette Cordova knows first-hand how impossible it is to erase yourself from the Internet. The 21-year-old college student was the hapless recipient of a photo of a Congressman Anthony Weiner bulging in his boxers. Ms. Cordova then 'watched in sheer disbelief as my name, age, location, links to any social networking site I've ever used, my old phone numbers and pictures have been passed along from stranger to stranger.' She then tried to remove her personal information from the web, one social network at a time. But the fact is, 'until a site's Webmaster removes the offending content, it will remain accessible via search engines like Google,' says blogger Dan Tynan."

A really special place within a very special park keeps us going again and again now planning 6th visit. The pleasure of beautifully coloured birds feeding from your hands is not to be missed.
this is a brill park and worth every $. this was my first time in orlando with my partner and we loveled it so much. The shows are brill and the way that they are all timed is good too. You can watch one show then move on to the next with ease. The park is well laid out and the staff are very friendly. I loved the special gesture to pay respect to those fighting and protecting for our countries at the start of the show. This box isn't big enough to tell you how much fun and magical it really is (and we are in our 40's)!!!!
Discovery Cove is the most magical place I have ever seen. However, after two years of waiting on the day we went at 1 p.m there was torrential rain and thunder. Everything was closed down and we were told to go inside. It lasted all afternoon. We did get to swim with the Dolphins Latoya and Yoko but most of Discovery Cove we didn't see. We never got to the fresh water Oasis or the tropical birds. On returning home we also discovered that the last 10 minutes of our video was missing and that was the bit with myself and my sister on. Discovery Cove were very good and rang me all the way back to the UK but said that they no longer had the original DVD. They have given us 3 lifelong free passes to return. Unfortunately, it was a once in a lifetime holiday and will not be repeated. Weather permitting though Discovery Cove is worth every $.
After waiting for my entire life, this summer, my boyfriend treated me to a trip to Florida, so that I could finally meet all of your beautiful Killer Whales, and it surpassed every dream and expectation I could have imagined. One ocean is such a beautiful show, and really reminded me of how important it is for us to care for the beautiful creatures that live in our oceans. The best part of our trip was getting to see Trua and Tilikum bonding in the underwater viewing area, seaworld brings families together both above and under the water, and it was so touching to see.
I've been to Florida a few times and each time I have been there......this has ALWAYS been my favourite ride. It's just hauntingly beautiful and truthfully for me Florida wouldn't be Florida without this ride. I am SO looking forward to going on this ride next week....ahhhh!! :D
so amazing i love it when you get to the top then it goes down the ramp and then drops and when you go underground amazing !!!!!!!
the show was very entertaining with a small touch of giving their show and appreciation for not onyl the us armed forces but for any military person around the world.
It was always a dream of mine to swim with dolphins. It was the best day of my life :)
Rhino valley used to be one of our favourite rides but the shorten ride and the absence of the collapsing bridge has badly affected the enjoyment. Please bring it back.
all the attractions are brilliant we have visited 4 times and looking forward to our 5th visit in September it takes you 2 days to see everything in the park and well worth the trip all the way from Cumbria in England the only place to visit is orlando and the seaworld parks cant wait till next ,September yippee this is from a 66 year old and 62 year old
