Melissa's Words of Wisdom: Play Nice
by Melissa d'Arabian in Food Network Star, June 16, 2011Melissa d'Arabian won Star season 5 and has been loving her Food Network adventure ever since. Her show, Ten Dollar Dinners, premieres its fifth season on July 3. As a Star veteran watching from her couch at home, Melissa shares her insider's take on what went down each week.
Week two is when I remember unpacking (literally and figuratively) during my season. I settled into the routine, and my place in the competition. This week, Susie embraces her Mexican heritage, Alicia is positively delightful with her truffle story, Mary Beth shows her warm personality and Penny takes a break from telling us she's sexy. (Side note: There are some things in life I believe you should never announce about yourself; never tell others you are funny; never call yourself a "people person" in an interview. Show, don't tell.)
Anyway, I like Penny's new Middle Eastern mama angle and she wins the camera challenge. I settle into my couch, hopeful that this is a fresh start for a finalist who, I'll be honest, didn't impress me in episode one.
Hopes dashed.
What I love about Penny is her strength and confidence. I'll admit it must be nice to be a thousand percent confident in your own sexiness. I get the feeling Penny doesn't let a bad hair day get in her way, and she probably doesn't even own the backup pair of jeans that I pull out on days when I feel bloated and ugly. So, good for her. I'm inspired, actually.
On the flip side, I wish she could be comfortable enough in her own skin to be okay with others doing well too. I worked in a male-dominated corporate environment for years before I became a stay-at-home mother, and my most successful female colleagues — the ones who became CFO or partner — found a way to keep the edge and lose the attitude. I believe Penny has the potential to be unstoppable if she can follow their lead. The world is abundant and there is room for others to succeed without taking your share. Katy doesn't seem any "weaker" for acknowledging Mary Beth's successful personality turnaround. In fact, it made me like her! Women traditionally are perceived as being less team-oriented than men. I adore seeing women recognizing the greatness in a fellow sister.
For all the finalists, I will share some advice I heard in my twenties: You are never interviewing just for the job. Ever. You may not get the job today, but if you make fans of people you meet, you will be amazed at the opportunities that come in your direction. (More kudos to Katy for a picture-perfect departure: class and grace.) And, this holds true if you do win, because as Giada points out, part of being a Food Network star is having eyeballs on you constantly.
Perhaps even more important: playing well with others just feels better. I've certainly had my share of cranky moments in life — we're all human — and I can tell you unequivocally that I have more fun being decent and considerate than steamrolling my way through life, leaving behind a wake of bad feelings for others to absorb. Ask anyone who volunteers their time to a worthy cause; giving is very empowering and uplifting. In my experience, when I am empowered, I play my best game.
It's easy to forget all of this when you are in a competition. I get it. But don't confuse the joy of you winning with celebrating others losing. Others losing is the cost of you winning; it is not part of the prize.

A Letter to Lenny, from the Rebel
Dear Lenny, Out of all the seasons of Food Network Star, I can think of only one other winner who has a personality as big as yours. Congratulations a...Comments (

It is obvious that all these Penny haters have become experts on how FN should handle their business. Might I suggest that you take your hack talents and audition or go invest in your own network. Unless they ask you to judge on their panel you should not tell people how good/bad Penny is as a cook. I cannot believe all the haters here. And saying she is acting like a school girl or your other favorite explatives that begin with B & W. Seems most comments posted on this board are childish as well.
I'm with you debster11. I DVR the show so I can fast forward through the commercials and the "pennys".
I agree with everyone that hates Penny, and if she would win I also would not watch her show! She needs an attitude adjustment. There are lots more great shows on the food network channel to watch, not watching Penny would not hurt the FNC. This is only if she wins. Lets hope she does NOT win!
We're finally watching last week's recorded show. I dislike Penny so much I'm having a hard time watching the show. If she wins I will not watch her show. I probably won't watch the show before or after her on the chance that I will catch a minute of her show. I do like Mary Beth, Jyll, Vic and the Buddy Holly look-a-like (I'll get his name right soon!).
Can you get rid of Penny already? When she wears a $1000 Hermes belt in the kitchen and has a mean spirit... you can dress it up all you want, slap a sexy sticker on it... Unappetizing! No matter how to slice or dice it. I have been an avid Food Network viewer for almost 14 years and I would rather watch the movie "Saw" 1,000 times before I would watch a show by Penny... just knowing what she does to chop and scratch her way to the top... blech!
I hope that a winner of a show would be a better person than this. If you are going to have fan they must love you and you are not one to love. Every show I am hoping its you that goes home. Nasty.
I am having a real hard time liking Penny, she is a back stabbing witch!!! If she is the winner of the this seasons food network stars I would have a real hard time tuning in to watch her show. I do believe she knows how to cook and cook good food but her personality during the show has a lot of people deciding early on that she is not a likeable person.
Omg plz tell me it isn't so!! Penny has a kid who gave away the fact that her snake mother haswon? ?? No!!!!! I may never watch FN again!!!
HAHAHAHAHA I laughed so long and hard when Penny burned the mac and cheese.. come on... could there have been an easier dish??? then to act surprised when the judges said something about it.. everyone in the kitchen could smell it burning!!!!! She makes comments.. I don't trust anyone in this house.. blah blah blah... she hasn't a clue.. how stupid can you be... everyone in that house gathers together and has a good time.. but penny is off by herself.. why????? no one likes her.... she must be wearing blinders not to see it is HER!!!! not the rest of the house.... and the comment she made.. "if you want to throw me under the bus blah blah blah.. like she wouldn't throw everyone of them under the bus given the opportunity..
The more weeks that go by, I'm liking Vic. I was hoping Penny would be voted out because she burned the Macaroni and Cheese. She is a vile person. I would not watch a show starring her.

A new bill could save the lives of students all over New Mexico.
School nurses will soon be able to administer emergency medication to a student without a prescription.
Parents will be able to breathe a little easier next school year.
That is because students who have allergic reactions or asthma attacks can be given the right medication regardless of a diagnosis or prescription.
"The very last one she was coughing for a long time without being able to catch a breath," Monica Toquiento, a mother of two children who have frequent asthma attacks, said. "It's very scary especially when you have premature babies, it's very scary."
She is one of the hundreds of anxious parents who drop their children off at school hoping against an attack.
"How I would describe it?" Monica's 12-year-old son Zavdiea Toquiento said."It's like something clogging up. Like an object clogging my breath."
According to the New Mexico School Nurses' Association, an average of three students in every classroom in New Mexico have asthma and two students per classroom have a potentially life threatening allergy.
"I get a little worried of what's going to happen next," Zavdiea said.
Sunday, Governor Susana Martinez, who had severe childhood asthma herself, signed Senate Bill 75.
The Emergency Medications in Schools Act allows nurses to have a stocked supply of Albuterol to treat asthma attacks and EpiPens to treat allergic reactions.
Right now, school nurses can only provide medication to students who have been diagnosed and have a prescription.
For anyone else, time is wasted waiting for a paramedic to arrive.
The new law will take effect in July.

Increase in displaced workers
August 22, 2002
During the January 1999 through December 2001 period, 4.0 million workers were displaced from jobs they had held for at least 3 years.
The number of displaced workers increased from 3.3 million in January 1997 through December 1999. The more recent period includes the recession that began in March 2001 and the resulting slowdown in the labor market. In contrast, the prior survey covered a period of strong employment growth and declining unemployment.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Displaced workers are defined as persons 20 years of age and older who lost or left jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished. Read more about displaced workers in "Worker Displacement, 1999-2001", news release USDL 02-483.

Mercedes F1 W05 - chassis underside 12 February 2014
Like the new Ferrari, Mercedes' 2014 car has quite a pronounced step (smoothed by the covering bodywork) in the top of the chassis where it reaches the maximum height of 525mm (top arrow). However, whereas on the Ferrari the bottom chassis profile follows a similar path to the top, sweeping upwards, Mercedes' is lower than required by the regulations (dotted yellow line). This smoother path should allow for more consistent management of the airflow passing under the car before it reaches the front of the sidepods.

Source: Associated Press
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says universities cannot require a security fee for speaking on campus without any guidelines for what security is needed.
It ruled Southeastern Louisiana University's free speech policy is unconstitutionally vague on that point.
Jeremy Sonnier challenged the policy after trying to evangelize individual students on Nov. 19, 2007.
He was told to leave because he hadn't applied for a permit seven days earlier.
His case is still in federal district court.
The 2-1 appellate ruling rejected his request for orders against other parts of SLU's free speech policy, including the seven-day notice.
In dissent, Judge James L. Dennis said those are unconstitutional, at least as applied to Sonnier.

Wednesday 4 Mar 2015
By Martin Bailey. Web onlyPublished online: 09 January 2013
The British government is facing criticism from Unesco for allowing the Shard, Renzo Piano's 95-storey commercial tower, and other skyscrapers to be built so close to the Tower of London. A response is being prepared by the UK authorities.
Unesco's World Heritage Committee last year recommended that the UK should "regulate further build-up of the area surrounding the Shard of Glass building, ensuring that approved heights do not exceed a height whereby they would become visible above the on-site historic buildings". The Shard, which will have a public viewing gallery that is due to open to visitors in February, now looms over the medieval walls of the Tower of London, when seen from its central green. The 1,016-foot skyscraper is the tallest building in western Europe. Although located 700 yards away from the Tower of London, across the Thames near London Bridge station, the Shard dominates the nearby skyline and can be seen from miles away in many parts of the city.Preserving the views around the Tower of London has proved highly controversial. Earlier this month, the former heritage minister John Penrose, who stepped down last September, admitted that the Shard "nearly didn't happen" because of its impact on the Tower. He is calling on English Heritage, with guidance from Unesco, to formulate a policy that would lead to "selecting the best views of our city and townscapes" to be protected in a similar way that buildings can be listed for preservation. The present situation, Penrose says, lacks clarity, which makes it difficult for developers and offers insufficient protection for the most important views. Two years ago, English Heritage published a report to evaluate the significance of historic urban views. Penrose now wants a more formal solution to the problem.Urban development versus heritageThe Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which is responsible for UK World Heritage Sites, is taking Unesco's complaint over the Tower seriously. A spokeswoman told The Art Newspaper that "the settings of this World Heritage Site should continue to be preserved". The department is therefore involved in discussions with English Heritage, the Greater London Authority and London boroughs (including Southwark, where the Shard is located) to prepare a report for Unesco, which is due to be submitted in a year's time.The Greater London Authority, however, is reluctant to bow to Unesco pressure. Edward Lister, London's deputy mayor responsible for planning, said that he would "fight" for growth, which means new buildings. "We understand [Unesco's] concerns, but have to balance them with the demands for an expanding city," he said. Last July, the World Heritage Committee passed a resolution on the Tower of London, which was inscribed as an internationally-recognised site in 1988. Dating from the 11th century and built by William the Conqueror, it now attracts 2.5 million visitors a year.Historic Royal Palaces, which manages the Tower of London, originally opposed the planning application for the Shard, but permission was granted ten years ago. As the Unesco mission points out, "the sheer height of the building will surely attract the gaze—as its design was intended to do—of many a visitor and away from the main attraction of the World Heritage site".The mission's report then added: "If any tall buildings are to be planned, these then should not exceed the height by which they would become visible above the on-site historic buildings that are part of the Tower complex." There have been proposals for other skyscrapers near the Shard, including Three Spire Towers, a Sellar Property Group project. Planning permission has not yet been given and a Sellar spokesman said that the project is now "under review".Despite the recession, the capital is currently witnessing a boom in the construction of tall office blocks. If this continues in the vicinity of the Tower and around the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey (London's other World Heritage Site) there is a concern that Unesco would consider adding them to the "Heritage in Danger" list. In 2009, Dresden lost its status as a World Heritage Site when a new bridge over the Danube was erected at a sensitive spot near the city's historic centre.

Washington's wolves
Wolves have returned home on their own to Washington, after more than 70 years' absence. A state wolf recovery plan and funding for conflict prevention tools help them recover.
Canis lupus
Early settlers described gray wolves as common to Washington and speculated that one or more wolf packs may have made their homes in each of the major river valleys in the state. By the 1900s, after years of animosity towards predators and government-sponsored bounty payments, wolves were gone from much of the Northwest.
Welcome home, Washington's wolves
That changed in the 2000s as wolves started coming back naturally to Washington from wolf populations in British Columbia and Idaho. In 2008, cameras operated by a Conservation Northwest Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Program volunteer captured the first images of wolf pups born in Washington in nearly a century.
As of the summer of 2014, the Washington State Department of Wildlife estimates there are a minimum of 52 wolves in Washington, with 13 confirmed packs. However, the future of Washington's wolves is not yet assured, and their recovery is still precarious.
Conservation Northwest believes Washington can be the state where natural wolf recovery works in the long run; for people, wolves and all the Northwest's wildlife. But to achieve this goal it will take hard work, respect and compromise from stakeholders on all sides.
- Washington's Wolves on Facebook
- Talking points on Washington wolf recovery
- Wolves and ranches can coexist
- Range rider success is building tolerance for wolves
- Tips for hiking in wolf country
- What we do for wolves!
- Wolf press
- Wolf timeline
Protection status
Gray wolves are currently listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act in the western two-thirds of Washington state, which includes the Lookout, Teanaway and Wenatchee Packs of the Cascades. Though state Endangered Species protections remain statewide, wolves have been federally delisted in the eastern third of Washington state.
Management of the species is governed by the state's Wolf Management Plan until the species hits recovery objectives for breeding packs and overall wolf numbers.
What we are doing
Conservation Northwest is the premier group working on recovery of Washington's wolves. We are working to:
- Help ranchers in Washington's wolf country fund, train and implement range riders to supervise livestock and prevent conflicts with wolves
- Install fladry around cow calving pastures and use other non-lethal tools to prevent livestock depredations
- Fund wolf-livestock conflict prevention in Washington state, gaining over $1 million in funding so far
- Use the sale of specialized "vanity" license plates to fund predator conflict prevention, a successful program that began in 2013
- Advise WDFW on implementing the state's wolf plan by continuing to serve on the Washington Wolf Advisory working group
- Helping to stop poaching, by working with hunters and hosting "Eyes in the Woods" trainings to help citizens identifty, document and report poaching and natural resource abuse
- Host educational forums for ranchers, landowners, farmers and wildlife managers, helping them adapt to wolf recovery
- We helped shape the state's 2011 wolf plan, serving on a governor-appointed Wolf Working Group and organizing citizens to speak up for science-based recovery
- Coordinating with state legislators, the governor and other elected officials in Olympia to support wolf recovery
- Actively monitoring wolf packs around the state and collaborating with the people who live, work and recreate in Northwest wolf country
More on wolves
- Wolves are naturally returning to Washington on their own from wolf populations in British Columbia, Idaho and western Montana. These wolves are not a new "Canadian" subspecies and are genetically the same as wolves that once thrived in the Pacific Northwest
- Canis lupus, the gray wolf, is the largest of the canines, 2 to 3 times the size of a coyote.
- Wolves once lived around the state, including the Olympic Peninsula, where their loss has led to big changes in the courses of rivers, vegetation, and other wildlife.
- Wolves have excellent hearing and a keen sense of smell. They hunt and socialize in family groups known as packs.
- Washington has a known population of about 50-100 wolves, distributed now in 10 confirmed packs around the state.
- Some of the wolves documented in the Cascades have had their DNA traced to wolves in coastal British Columbia. They have also been documented eating salmon!
- Sprawl and development spells loss of habitat for wolves and their prey; but overall, the greatest threat to wolves is people's fear and misunderstanding about them.
- More than 75% of Washington residents queried in a 2008 wildlife poll supported recovery of Washington's wolves
- Wolves are very wary of humans and do not pose a significant risk to human safety. In the last century in North America, there have only ever been two confirmed fatal attacks on humans by wolves.
- As a top carnivore, the gray wolves, along with other predators such as the bears and cougars, control prey populations so that a landscape may support a healthy ecosystem.
- Wolves play a vital role in maintaining the health of big game by culling sick animals and promoting stable ungulate populations. Biologists tell us that herds of big game - from elk to deer - are healthier with wolves in the habitat than without.
- Wolves are also coming back to Oregon and, so far, a single wolf to California.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, so don't let an illness, injury or accident keep you from celebrating a happy, healthy holiday season with your family and friends. Whether you're outside shoveling snow or inside preparing your favorite seasonal dishes, our 12 holiday health and safety tips are sure to help keep the season bright.
Share our holiday safety infographic with your friends and family to spread holiday health tips as well as cheer. Click on the image below to see our full holiday safety infographic.
As the days get shorter and the temperatures continue to drop during winter, some people experience depression-like symptoms brought on by seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is a type of depression that can affect anyone but is most common in people who live in areas where winter days are short and there is a limited supply of sunlight.
Robert Farra, Ph.D., Director of the Adult Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, Department of Psychiatry, answers questions on SAD, from symptoms to treatment options:
Q: What are the symptoms of SAD?
Q: How many people are affected?
Q: Why do many people experience depression before the holidays?
Q: How can people combat seasonal depression? Any concrete tips?
Are you affected by the change of the season? What do you do to stay active even with less sunshine?
Worried about catching the flu this season? There are many things you can do to prevent the spread of the flu—washing your hands regularly, getting adequate sleep, maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine—but one of the best is to make sure you get vaccinated.
Kenneth Fox, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, addresses some of the pervasive myths surrounding the flu and the flu shot to give you your best shot for dodging the bug this season:
Myth: I got the flu shot and got the flu right away. Fact: The flu shot is not 100 percent effective but it is effective. The vaccine reduces a person's risk of developing significant symptoms by 60%.
Myth: The flu shot is effective immediately. Fact: It takes a period of two weeks for the flu shot to take effect.
Myth: Only the elderly and young children are affected by the flu. Fact: The elderly and children younger than two (as well as people with other underlying medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, cerebral palsy, COPD, diabetes, kidney or liver disease) are at highest risk for flu complications. Those with compromised immune systems are also at especially high risk. But, the flu can strike anyone. Some of the most serious cases can occur in people who were previously healthy.
Myth: People suffering from the flu should always go to the hospital. Fact: Healthy people should take care of themselves at home: get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids and take Tylenol or Advil. Be watchful of other health issues though. If you are suffering from labored breathing or dehydration, you should go to the emergency room.
Myth: You should feed a cold and starve a fever. Fact: Maintaining nutrition and staying hydrated is important when you are sick with the flu, so the answer is feed and feed.
Myth: Getting the flu shot once per season is always adequate. Fact: One flu shot per season is adequate for almost everyone, with the exception of children under nine years old who should get two doses of flu vaccine (separated by four weeks) during the first flu season they are immunized.
Myth: Flu and cold symptoms are the same. Fact: Flu symptoms include a fever, cough, congestion, chills, fatigue, body aches, and often sore throat and headache. Cold symptoms are fewer in number, much milder and last just a few days.
Myth: The flu lasts 24 hours. Fact: Children are typically ill 7-10 days but can shed the virus a few days before their symptoms begin and up to 2 weeks after the start of symptoms. Adults are typically ill 5-7 days but shed the virus 1 day before symptoms begin and usually up to 5 days after the start of symptoms. Some symptoms like fatigue may last for several weeks in kids and adults.
Myth: There is no way to protect yourself from the flu. Fact: The flu vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent the flu and to reduce the risk of its complications. Also, thorough and frequent hand washing, avoiding contact with contaminated surfaces, getting adequate sleep, nutrition and hydration all reduce a person's flu risks. Being watchful of complications and seeing your doctor if serious symptoms arise (like difficulty breathing and dehydration) reduce your risks of harm. Staying home when ill with the flu and covering your mouth when coughing also reduces the risks of spread in the community.
It's not too late to get vaccinated this flu season. Have you had your flu shot?
There is no magic age for when it's best to transition your toddler from a crib to the "big-kid" bed. Much of the timing depends on your child's readiness as well the need to free up the crib for a new little brother or sister. In most cases, toddlers transition to a bed between the ages of 18 months to 3 years.
Whether you are mid-transition or only in the planning stages, Susan Roth, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, offers helpful tips to make the change a smoother one:

This time of year, schedules fill up quickly with special events and gatherings of friends and family that often involve the consumption of alcohol. Many people drink more often and consume more in these weeks than at any other time during the year and most are not used to assessing their own ability to drive, particularly on winter's more dangerous roadways. This all adds up to conditions in which drunk or impaired driving is not only possible and more likely, which is why December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month.
A recent study by the U.S. Department of Transportation showed that DUI arrests peak between Thanksgiving and the end of December, and that the average daily death rate caused by drunk/drugged drivers increases from 36 to between 45 and 54 on Christmas and New Years Eve respectively. In addition, the Center for Disease Control estimates that 25,000 people will experience injuries during the same period as a result of accidents in which the driver is impaired. These numbers reflect a decline over previous decades, but each incident represents a family devastated, a son, daughter, husband, wife or friend not returning home.
Ina Sherman, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor at NorthShore's Doreen E. Chapman Center, shares her suggestions for helping to ensure that you and your friends and family celebrate responsibly and that everyone out on the roads reaches their holiday destinations safe and sound:
Do you make sure to designate a driver at each holiday celebration?
Ready or not, the holidays are on their way. Soon millions will flock to airports or hit the highways on the way to celebrations across the country and beyond. Don't let the stress of this season's travel take a toll on your health and holiday spirit.
NorthShore University HealthSystem shares some simple holiday travel tips to help you arrive at your destination happy, healthy and ready to celebrate with your friends and family all season long.
For exhausted new parents, it can be a relief when your infant finally settles down to sleep for the night (or even just a couple of hours) but there can be fear as well. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can happen even when all the right safety measures are practiced. The exact cause of SIDS is unknown. SIDS is most common in infants less than six months of age but can occur between one month and one year.
While nothing can prevent every case, there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of SIDS. William MacKendrick, MD, Neonatologist at NorthShore, shares safe sleeping recommendations every parent should practice:

What do you do to keep holiday eating in check?
We're all busy and keeping tabs on the safety of our homes often falls by the wayside when calendars fill up quickly with day-to-day activities like getting the kids to school on time and shuttling them back and forth to practices and events. But, it's incredibly important to make time to ensure the safety of your home.
Some household risks are easy to spot but there are some you can't see at all. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous and because the gas is odorless and colorless, it's hard to detect without proper monitoring. Now that frigid temperatures have settled in for the winter and furnaces are working overtime, it's even more important to make sure your family is well-protected from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Jerrold Leikin, MD, Medical Toxicologist, shares five household safety requirements:
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home? How frequently do you check it?

Report: Banks' accuser ordered to pay $2.6M
JUN 15, 2013 7:14p ET
Wanetta Gibson sued the district for lax security during the trial and received $750,000 from a $1.5 million settlement.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered her to pay $1.5 million, plus an additional $1.1 million in punitive damages.
Gibson's whereabouts are currently unknown, but the Press Telegram reports that the ruling allows the school district to obtain Gibson's future wages and property.
Gibson confessed that she made up the rape charge against Banks, who was convicted and served more than five years in prison. A judge reversed Banks' conviction in 2012.
Banks, 27, signed with the Falcons in April.

good lord – today i thought i'd lost y'all. i went to update my blog and it was gone!! but seth walker saved me, once again, and we're back.
this makes me happy like few things do. one of those things is my nephew:
satyagraha, meaning "love force" or "truth force", should be your word of power. Your uprising against the forces of darkness has got to do more than say "no." A fierce, primal yes should be at the heart of your crusade.

Filing Type File Cabinets have various types of filing. The filing type is dependent upon the types or sizes or the documents to be filed. The two main filing types are vertical filing and lateral filing. Vertical filing is where files are stored in the drawer from front to back. Vertical file cabinets tend to be deeper than lateral file cabinets. Lateral filing is where files are stored from left to right. Lateral file cabinets tend to be wider than vertical cabinets and about as deep as a file folder is wide. Roll filing is where large documents, such as blueprints, are rolled and stored standing up or in slots. Flat filing is where documents are simply laid flat in the drawer. | Filing Type | Vertical Filing |

A new crop of teen starlets is following in the footsteps of Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus, aiming to use their tween appeal in movies, pop albums and television shows (often via the Disney Channel) to boost them into mainstream stardom. The teenybopper tunes may not appeal to those old enough to vote just yet — "There is a party on down the street but nobody invited me and I got a gig babysitting my uncle's kids," squeak the Clique Girlz in a peppy ditty called "Then I Woke Up." But, as future fashion and marketing icons go, these are the ones to watch.

The Scoop: After singing her way to fame in the Disney TV movie "Camp Rock" with the Jonas Brothers, she will drop her debut album this fall. Next year, she not only will morph into a princess hiding from kidnappers in the TV movie "Princess Protection Program" co-starring best friend Selena Gomez, but she also will head her own TV series, "Welcome to Mollywood," about a teen named Molly who wins a talent search. The budding rock chick often pairs billowing tops with skinny jeans tucked into boots.

I went to an Indigo Girls concert this past Sunday. It was absolutey fucking amazing. I love them and their music. That is all. For now.
Yeah, it's been a while. A lot has happened. Lots of highs and lows.
Long story short, Jon and I didn't work out. It's really, really, really, really (read: really) complicated, and I don't want to write about it here because it's one of the most personal things ever (right, like I haven't been personal before). But yeah. It's over, and it was painful, and it's mostly my fault, but frankly, if I hadn't ended that relationship, it would have blown up eventually. I just hope Jon finds someone better. He deserves it, after all the shit he's been through. I'm just kind of an asshole, is all. I think I'm gonna lay off trying relationships for a bit.
Well, yeah, uh, this is a little weird, but also quite welcome. I posted a few days ago that my boyfriend Chris broke up with me. I was bummed for a few days, but I realized that he was completely right, that neither of us was really committed to the relationship (read: he had tons of work all the time and was disappointed that I turned out not to be the same person that he thought I was when we met). That was Saturday, I believe. On Monday, I was standing in line at a dining hall that I don't normally eat at; a couple of friends of mine just wanted to eat there for a change. So, I'm standing in line, and I realize that this dining hall has different rules about how much food you get. The one I usually eat in is "all-you-can-eat", because it's huge, but this one is smaller, so the rules are "one entree, two sides". I ask aloud, to no one in particular, "Which things are sides and which are entrees?" The guy in line in front of me turns around and answers my question. WHOA!!! Hotness hotness hotness hotness hotness . . . and I'm thinkgin, "No, Chris just broke up with me, this is way too soon!" But anyway, he introduces himself (Jon) and we start talking about his cinema class that he's taking. He decides to friend me on Facebook because he wants to "meet new people". Well, then, we start talking later and he asks me to dinner on Tuesday. At that point, I'm pretty smitten. Like, he's hilarious, really intelligent, he cares about what I like, I care about what he likes, and he's really beautiful . . . so it's an immediate "yes" from me.
Yeah. Today was not so good. Woke up late. No variety at lunch. Went to the thrift store only to find that it closes at 3:00 PM on weekends. And then, my boyfriend says he needs to talk to me. We go walking aimlessly for about 30 minutes, before he finally tells me that he wants to break up with me.
I can't say that I didn't see this coming, but it wasn't expected either. He's been rather under the weather lately, with lots and lots of schoolwork . . . and he recently seemed to get very pissed at me for no particular reason. I mean, I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but like, this was like, if he said something, I would comment, and he'd get mad for not being sympathetic, or I would say something and he would tell me that I was whining or that I shouldn't complain or whatever. I dunno. I'm relieved and very sad at the same time.
As I very recently found out through some first-hand experience, you hit the nail on the head in your commenting concerning sex and boyfriends. Mmmmmmmmm . . .
Well, after going out with this one guy several times among other things, we have decided to become boyfriends. His name is Chris, and he's a really sweet guy; very intelligent and very cute. Considering this is the first real relationship for both of us, it's all sort of new and weird, but hopefully it'll work out. I'll keep people posted on the situation as it develops.
The title says it all. Suffice to say: I'm going on a date with one of the guys I met at school and . . . oh dear god this is awesome!
I've been at Oberlin College for a grand total of 10 days now. All I can say is that this place kicks major ass. All the people kick ass, all my classes kick ass, my dorm room kicks ass, EVERYTHING kicks ass. Seriously. Well, actually, that's not true. The football team does not kick ass. Rather, they eat dirt. Every game. But that's okay, because I don't care about football. I met a couple of really, really hot guys at the GLBT meeting yesterday.
Now, onto the dreams that I haven't already typed up. This one is from a little while ago, I believe when I was in the midst of evil college applications madness. It's pretty short:
I'm asleep in my bed upstairs, when suddenly Dad appears in front of me and goes, "Time to get up!" I look up and say, "No it's not!" Dad turns into a humongous demon/devil-type creature and bellows, "YES IT IS!" I get up and jump out the window onto a cloud that is floating there.
Here's the other one I just posted:
A little while ago, I had this weird dream. It started out with me on a road in this weird suburbia-type place, only the suburb was in this dense prehistoric jungle, a la Jurassic Park. I walk down the road to this seemingly abandoned, huge building that is partially underground. It's got a weird concrete wall around it and an open gate. As I walk up to the gate, all these people just come running out. They run off, and I go in. The grounds inside the gate are made up of a slowly slanting hill that goes up to a brick wall with a corrugated tin roof. The hill is half covered in this old, decaying burlap type material that is nailed down with railroad spikes. Off to the right, there is just a big pit. I walk up the hill, but I can only stand on the edge of the material where the bolts are. As I walk on it, it disintegrates behind me. I get up to the wall, and there's a ledge that goes along it to the right. I follow the ledge until I get to the end of it. There's more of that burlap stuff on the roof of the building, but when I try to climb to the roof, it pulls off and I can't get up. As I'm walking back, I notice that where the burlap stuff disintegrated is now a hole into the underground part of the building. There's a lab down there, with a lady in a labcoat walking around (apparently, she's my mother even though she looks nothing like my real mom). Anyways, I trip and fall into the lab, and the mom-scientist gets really mad and tries to kill me because I've discovered her secret dinosaur lab, and she chases me out. Suddenly, I'm back at the front gate again, and this whole sequence repeats itself, until, instead of tripping, I jump down on purpose, land on the mom-scientist, and knock her out. I then walk out into the underground hallway.
I have decided to start an archive of dreams I have had that I remember. I usually tend to remember a dream in vivid detail, or not remember it at all. Here's one that I posted on the "Dreams" forum topic. There'll be more shortly. Here goes:
I'm in a house that I know is my house even though I've never seen it before in my life. I just know it's where I live. It's completely empty. I decide that I want something to eat, so I go to the freezer and open it and all that's there is a single frozen hot dog. I hate hot dogs, but I want to eat this one, so I take it out of the freezer, and then, suddenly, I don't want it anymore. I turn and see my dog, Chase (I had this dream a couple years ago, when he was still alive), and I decide that he can eat it, so I put it in his food bowl. It thaws instantly, and he goes up to it, sniffs it, and then proceeds to rip it to pieces with his mouth and throw the pieces all over the floor. Suddenly, the door opens, and three policemen walk in. The middle one looks around and says, "What's the problem here?" I say, "Nothing." He says, "Oh, okay," and then they turn and leave. I turn around and look back at the kitchen, and my Mom is there, washing dishes in the sink, even though there were no dishes there before. She stops, looks at me, and says, "Let's go."
Well, after a grand total of 8 hours of reading, I finished the sixth Harry Potter book. All I'm going to say is that I made two major predictions about the book. One of them was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, and the other was DEAD WRONG!!! Even so, there was still enough that I didn't expect to make it even better than, well, than I expected. Wow, that sounds dumb. But anyways, yeah, the thing that you think will happen in the book .
Okay, well, I said I'd talk about this in my earlier entry, and so here it is.
My school, or at least many administrative faculty members at my school, has completely screwed up priorities. Since it's easiest, I'll give you a summary of what happened a couple of weeks ago:
Okay, so our school Theater 15 troupe put on this play called "The Golden Age". It's a very obscure play, but it was incredibly powerful and well-done. Anyways, before each play, the people in theater always lead up to it by making funny anouncements in assembly or posting ads all over campus, or, especially, making short videos that usually have nothing to do with the play, but say "Attend [Insert Play Here] This Friday at 7PM" at the end. One of the people in theater, who shall go only by JK, was given the task of making the totally unrelated video this time around. For a topic, he chose to lambast Prozac, or basically all medication that removes the user somewhat from reality or emotionality. It consisted of JK (the protagonist) going through a series of distressing/traumatic events (i.e. failing his midterm, girlfriend dumping him, getting mugged, best friend dying, etc.) without so much as flinching; he just has a blank stare and a stupid grin throughout the entire thing. Everyone thinks it's a hilarious idea. So JK films it and then, to show it in assembly, he has to get approval from the Dean of students. He explains the video concept to her, and she says that many people would be offended by the Prozac reference because many people take or have relatives who take Prozac or other such drugs. He agreed to remove the reference and replaced it with the phrase, ". . . Because who wants to feel anything anyway?", which gets across the same message. Then, the Dean asked if the death of JK's friend in the video was violent. Here is where the problem happens. He said, "No, it's not." And it was, at least, fairly so.
Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?
I guess I'll just bring people up to date with everything, considering I've been so irresponsible in keeping up with my own life. Here goes:
Spring Break - I went to England. London specifically. This was awesome, especially because the last time I'd been was when I was seven years old, and all I remembered was the Tower of London and eating a chocolate treasure chest that my Grandma bought us. So, anyways, we went and saw everything (the Tower, The Globe Theater, Picadilly Circus, The Thames, Westminster, Parliament, Big Ben, everything at Oxford and Canterbury as well), and we also saw a couple of plays. The first one was "National Anthems", starring Kevin Spacey (who is a genius, I have decided), and another actor whose name escaped me as I started writing. It was brilliant. I say that everyone who has the chance to see it at all MUST see it on threat of my coming to your house and hanging you up by your ears. Afterwards, we saw a play called "Life in the Theater" with Patrick Stewart (whom I already knew was awesome), and Joshua Jackson (whom I didn't know was in Dawson's Creek because I never watched the show). That was awesome too, but they could've cast Jackson with someone better. Still, it was great. Lastly, we saw the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, "Woman in White". Since I'm not a musical person, I didn't enjoy it as much as the plays, but it was still very well done, and highly original for a musical. For the rest of the trip, I got a horrible case of the stomach flu, and missed about three days of activities because I was alternatively sleeping and taking tylenol.
I just bought the new Mars Volta album, "Frances the Mute". It is the most dense, most incredibly beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. If you have the chance, and don't mind weird music, pick this up. You won't be disappointed. It's just . . . amazing . . . that people could make music so . . . emotive, so tortured and angry and joyous and depressed and engergetic and content.
I swear it's musical crack. I can't stop listening to it. 76 minutes long and this'll be the third time since I bought it at 5:15 this afternoon.
