With the first of two seventh-round picks, the Cleveland Browns selected defensive end Armonty Bryant from East Central Oklahoma in the NFL draft. The Browns used the 217th overall pick on the 6-foot-3, 263-pound Bryant, who didn't perform the bench press at the scouting combine following right shoulder surgery. Bryant, the Division II school's career leader with 26.5 sacks, was arrested in October on a felony charge of marijuana distribution in a school zone. He said an officer spotted him selling marijuana to a friend in the back lot of the school dorms. Earlier Saturday, the Browns dealt their fourth- and fifth-round picks for selection in the 2014 draft.

Welcome to ClickMix.com!
ClickMix is the newest online music service for Fitness Professionals.
What is ClickMix?
Simply put, ClickMix is custom music mixing made easy. It is primarily intended for use by fitness professionals who need 32-count music, but anyone can use it to make mixes.
For the first time ever, you can create your own custom mixes from a choice of thousands of single 32-count tracks, or browse the mixes made by other members and burn them to CD to use on the same day you buy them. Creating your own mix is easy. All you have to do is choose which tracks you want and then our automatic mixing system does the rest. Once the mix is completed, it is then downloaded to your computer so you can burn it to CD or transfer it to an iPod.
How Long Does It Take?
That is largely up to you. The system is designed to make finding tracks and creating a mix as quick and easy as possible, but spend as much time as you like browsing and selecting tracks. Once you have made your purchase, your tracks will usually be completely mixed and ready for download in about 5 minutes!
All tracks are $1.99. You only pay for the tracks you use, and the mixing and burning software is included for free. But here is the best part... Once you purchase a track, it goes into your library, and you can use the tracks again for free in other mixes up to 3 times. As you create mixes and build up your library, you will find that by reusing tracks, you can build a whole collection of mixes for less than buying traditional pre-mixed CDs!
We think this is a terrific value when you compare the cost of a ClickMix to a traditional fitness CD, where you will typically get 12 tracks for $22 to $30. A 12 track ClickMix is only $23.88, and you get to reuse the songs.\!
Is This Music Legal?
Yes! Power Music, Inc. is the creator of ClickMix and was the first (and remains one of the few) aerobics music providers to legally produce music for your fitness classes. In the United States, a record company that produces and distributes music must obtain permission from the copyright holders or owners of both the recording and the composition. These rights or licenses are secured from both the record company and music publisher respectively. Power Music, as the manufacturer, negotiates licenses with and pays fees and royalties to these copyright owners the masters and is responsible for the license fees associated with these two rights. Unlike pirated DJ tapes and many other fitness music providers, we pay record companies and music publishers for their contribution on each track you purchase. You have the security of knowing that with a ClickMix workout, no laws are being broken.

Bitcoin Hits Record High After Senate Panel Told It's Legal

Check out one of my latest videos for TheLip.tv all about superfoods that can give you bright, youthful looking skin!
Check out one of my latest videos for TheLip.tv all about superfoods that can give you bright, youthful looking skin!
Hi guys! I want to share an important interview I did with one of my close friends Lynn Chen. We discuss dealing with an eating disorder and particularly how to get through the holidays with one. Please give a view
Here is a piece I did for TheLip.tv all about at home remedies for cold and flu symptoms. I would love to hear your thoughts! I posted my green smoothie recipe below the video
3 cups organic coconut water
1 cup hydrated chia seeds
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 carrots
1 tsp. fresh chopped ginger
1 apple, cored
1/2 avocado, peeled
2 bananas
3 cups kale, lightly steamed
2 cups frozen pineapple
1 cup frozen mango
Place all the ingredients in a blender in order listed puree after you add the avocado until smooth. Then add the bananas and kale, puree again and then add the rest and puree until smooth. Drink immediately or refrigerate overnight.
Check out the latest video I did for TheLip.tv "How Safe Is Our Food? The FDA inspects only 2% of food coming into our country… is that enough?
I recently did a segment for TheLip.tv about skin cancer and some foods that can fight and protect you from it. Here is the video and some more information:
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, diagnosed in more than one million Americans and responsible for nearly 10,000 deaths every year. It is also one of the most preventable types of cancer.
There are three types of skin cancer. Squamous cell skin cancer and basal cell skin cancer, which are less serious and usually occur in sun-exposed parts of your body. Melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, also occurs on sun-exposed areas but may appear anywhere on the body. "Melanoma can almost always be cured in its early stages. But it is likely to spread to other parts of the body if it is not caught early," The American Cancer Society explains.
Sunscreen, the obvious answer, is not your only line of defense against skin cancer. Here are some other tips you probably already know:
-Ditch tanning and UV tanning booths
-Cover up with clothing, hats and sunglasses. tre chic!
-Sunscreen is not just for the beach. Snow, water, and sand can all reflect and intensify the damaging rays of the sun.
-Examine your skin head to toe once a month.
In addition according to Karen Collins, RD, clinical dietitian and nutrition adviser for the American Institute for Cancer Research "In addition to limiting your sun exposure, eating certain foods may help reduce your risk"
"Food is the chemotherapy we all take three times a day," Dr. William Li MD says. So in addition to sunblock, stock your pantry with a new kind of SPF: skin-protective foods. 5 diet must haves to helping beat skin cancer:
-Fruits and Vegetables
5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day will give you the amount of antioxidants you need to help fight free-radicals in your system. Go for the darkest most colorful foods, they tend to be the best for you
-Chia Seeds
The Omega-3 anti-inflammatory properties in chia seeds are perfect for protecting you from certain cancers
-Fresh herbs
Time to start that herb garden you've been talking about. Fresh herbs, especially fresh sage, rosemary, parsley, and basil pack a big antioxidant punch as well as adding fantastic flavor to your favorite dishes.
Tea time! A lab study found that the antioxidants found in green and black teas inhibit the the proteins necessary for skin cancer to develop. Researchers at Darmouth Medical School found that people who drank two cups or more daily were 35% less likely to get squamous cell cancer than non-tea drinkers.
"Components in wine, may be tumor protective partially because of their antioxidant properties and may also inhibit growth of some human cancer cells," explains study coauthor Adele Green, MD, PhD, deputy director and head of the cancer and population studies laboratory at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. While scientists get to the bottom of wine's possible health benefits and the mechanisms behind them, I propose a toast to the promising indicators.
Cheers to healthy, beautiful skin!
With Summer in full swing, most people, like myself, are heading outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and soak up all those warm sun rays! Sure the sun is good for the essential vitamin D, but it also has a lot of other things that can harm your skin. Try these natural oils to keep your skin free from chemicals and sun damage.
Have you given up your New Year resolution already? What if instead of setting a huge, general and unattainable goal, you do one minor thing that you can actually achieve this year? My good friend and sports nutrition superstar Brendan Brazier has come up with this #OneChange campaign and I think it's awesome! Check out his website for Vega's OneChange and pick which habit you'd like to break this year and he'll give you some great advice and easy steps to reaching your goal.
Occasionally I find myself falling into The Breakfast Skipper category. It's hard to get breakfast in every morning when you are traveling as much as I am, but my secret weapon is now Vega One Nutritional Shakes. The small packets are easy for packing and you just add 1 cup of water, shake, and go! These saved me on my recent trip to Florida!
Head on over to #OneChange and see what simple steps you can do to get healthier!
When the folks over at GoodBelly asked me to participate in their 12 day probiotic challenge, I thought why not. I started the challenge already feeling pretty healthy, but about day 4 I started feeling different. That was the day I noticed how much flatter my belly looked. I'm not one to post pictures of myself in the mirror with my shirt pulled up (sorry if that's what you were expecting, but this is not that kind of site) but trust me when I say it was flatter! And I felt better! It's a hard feeling to describe, you kinda have to try it!
So, are you sitting there saying, "What the heck is a probiotic?" Well, probiotics seem to be taking the grocery stores by storm! Not just the "natural" stores, but you can find them at just about any supermarket. According to Wikipedia, "Probiotics are live bacteria that confer a health benefit to the host." You can read more on that here. But in simple terms, probiotics are good bacteria that you ingest to cleanse your belly of the bad bacteria that often finds it's way there. In even simpler terms, IT CLEANS OUT YOUR PIPES lol!
And can I just give one side note!? How stinkin cute is their packaging with that little smiley face?? It makes me happy every time I drink it!
Since the challenge, I've been drinking GoodBelly regularly. It's pretty rad! So give the 12 GoodBelly challenge a try! I bet you will feel amazing too!
People always ask what I do besides not eating animal products to stay in-shape. So I wrote a list What do you do that keeps you happy and healthy?
1. Drink water! (Lot's of it, 5-8 glasses a day)
2. Snack often. Don't let yourself get starving before you sit down for a big meal. Eat small (healthy!) meals all day.
3. Do cardio for at least 20 minutes everyday. Run, walk, jog, skip, hop, jump just get outside and move!
4. Strengthen your core. It holds your whole body together
5. Eat real food! Cut out processed foods. If it has an ingredient list, don't eat it.
6. Sleep. 7-8 hours a night is ideal.
7. Avoid stress (I know this is easier said than done…)
8. Appreciate life!
I know what you're thinking…. What the heck is Baobab? Well first of all, it's not a verb. It's not the next Gangnam Style or Harlem Shake… although that's a good idea lol.
My team and I just completed a production of two really cool videos to promote awareness of a little known superfood out of Africa. Now I could tell you all about Baobab, but I'd rather show you! What I will say is it's stunning how few people have heard of it. But even more staggering is Baobab's ORAC value (see below graphic)… it blows Açaí and Goji away! Here's the skinny:
- 6x the Vitamin C of oranges
- Planet's highest source of Calcium (yes, more than milk!)
- More Iron than red meat (omg!)
I'm putting the raw powder in everything! From my favorite go-to smoothies to hot cereal to baking mix. The sheer nutritional power coupled with the fact that Baobab is providing a sustainable cash crop for women (yay!) in Mali, make this funny-sounding superfruit [bey-oh-bab] a Veggie Dreamgirl's BFF.
Convinced you yet? Here's where to get baobab

Three weeks into the earnings season for tech stocks, the air on Wall Street is inclement, to say the least. Like the climatological conditions devastating the East Coast, tremendous turmoil is weighing upon tech outfits large and small.
The result is a rather soggy crop of reports, and the mood among investors most foul in response. Some of the reports last week bore evidence of the upheaval in computing that we outlined in this magazine with our cover story two weeks ago ("Bye-Bye, PCs," Oct. 22). But a lot of the actual stock action just showed that tech investors are incredibly skittish these days, likely to punish even winning companies, while bidding up the most mild forms of outperformance.
To recap, in the last three weeks, we've had lackluster results from Intel INTC 1.242544731610338% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD30.555 0.375 1.242544731610338% /Date(1435870800207-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26804419 AFTER HOURS USD30.55 -0.004999999999999 -0.016363933889707086% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 300804 P/E Ratio 12.947033898305085 Market Cap 144952921447.754 Dividend Yield 3.1418753068237604% Rev. per Employee 523777 More quote details and news » (ticker: INTC) and Microsoft MSFT -0.10124873439082012% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD44.4 -0.045 -0.10124873439082012% /Date(1435870800301-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 21443813 AFTER HOURS USD44.46 0.0600000000000023 0.13513513513513514% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 308200 P/E Ratio 18.42323651452282 Market Cap 360217212379.456 Dividend Yield 2.7927927927927927% Rev. per Employee 737992 More quote details and news » (MSFT), given the slowdown in personal computer sales; a botched earnings press release by Google (GOOG), marked by further pressure on advertising rates; and sales from Apple AAPL -0.1263823064770932% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD126.44 -0.16 -0.1263823064770932% /Date(1435870800080-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26810454 AFTER HOURS USD126.34 -0.0999999999999943 -0.07908889591901297% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 400498 P/E Ratio 15.629171817058097 Market Cap 728424620100.17 Dividend Yield 1.6450490351154698% Rev. per Employee 2287920 More quote details and news » (AAPL) that were booed by Wall Street even though they rose by a very handsome 27%.
By my count, half of 98 tech companies reporting this past week missed either revenue estimates, profit estimates or both, while many of those beating estimates did so quite narrowly.
Some of those that at least met profit estimates for the quarter had a lackluster outlook for the current quarter.
Some results were tantalizing, however, as they offer a window into a changing technology landscape. Take chip maker Cirrus Logic CRUS -0.08904719501335707% Cirrus Logic Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD33.66 -0.03 -0.08904719501335707% /Date(1435870800279-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 623535 AFTER HOURS USD33.66 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9508 P/E Ratio 46.75 Market Cap 2134548921.14029 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 830225 More quote details and news » (CRUS), whose shares have more than doubled this year due to the fact it gets more than two-thirds of its revenue selling audio-processing chips for Apple's iPhone and other gadgets.
Although Cirrus easily beat quarterly revenue and earnings-per-share expectations on Wednesday, and projected the current quarter's revenue to beat as well, the shares fell the next day and closed down 19% for the week.
Analysts debated the fact that the company is seeing prices for its chips come under pressure, perhaps in part to meet the need for Apple to make profits in an environment where Apple has already said it is having to be "aggressive" with the prices it charges consumers. The lesson: Product plans are rapidly changing for Apple and everyone else, as they try to have the latest hot tablet or smartphone.
That's leading to surges in product revenue for suppliers like Cirrus—revenue nearly doubled in the latest quarter—but it's also raising fears the post-PC era is one of diminishing returns from a profit perspective.
Sony 6758.TO -0.4209049456331112% Sony Corp. ADS U.S.: NYSE USD28.39 -0.12 -0.4209049456331112% /Date(1435870921083-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 759198 AFTER HOURS USD28.373 -0.0169999999999995 -0.059880239520958084% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2182 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 33507172696.0621 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 567238 More quote details and news » (SNE) is the poster child, of course, for what happens when you lose your edge. Thursday morning the company missed third-quarter revenue estimates and offered an unexpected net loss per share, as results deteriorated across pretty much every one of its lines of business, from digital cameras to LCD television sets to mobile game players such as the PSP. Sony cut its outlook for the year's growth and now projects a roughly 1.6% increase in revenue, less than the 5% growth it was previously expecting.
The most unsettling reports, though, seemed to come last week from those outfits dependent on capital spending by phone companies, an area where there has been a growing sense that belts are tightening. JDS Uniphase JDSU -0.8703220191470844% JDS Uniphase Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD11.39 -0.1 -0.8703220191470844% /Date(1435870800116-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1692899 AFTER HOURS USD11.35 -0.0400000000000009 -0.35118525021949076% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 51739 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 2666934446.5379 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 339216 More quote details and news » (JDSU), which sells components used in fiber-optic networks, missed revenue expectations on Tuesday for the quarter, but beat on the bottom line by a few pennies.
More troubling than the mere 1% revenue growth was the fact that management said it didn't anticipate the customary "budget flush" this fall, when phone companies spend what's they have left in the kitty, given an "uncertain climate" of macroeconomic conditions.
On the other hand, even those with decent growth were punished. Gartner it 0.4179243092639889% Gartner Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD86.5 0.36 0.4179243092639889% /Date(1435871040057-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 312254 AFTER HOURS USD86.5 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9562 P/E Ratio 44.58762886597938 Market Cap 7181749084.47266 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 302741 More quote details and news » (IT), the consulting firm that advises pretty much every tech company on the planet and tells corporations what to buy, saw 12% revenue growth in the third quarter—nothing to sneeze at when corporate IT spending has been lagging this year. The stock, however, fell more than 8% on Friday when the revenue and earnings per share estimates missed analysts' expectations.
It's a rude reception given Gartner's tech-conference business appears to be doing quite well, probably in part because of all the tumult and change mentioned above.
PERHAPS MORE TELLING than the misses were how the shares surged for even the slightest outperformance, as investors chased any silver lining.
Priceline.com PCLN -0.6328508714738993% Priceline Group Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD1143.07 -7.28 -0.6328508714738993% /Date(1435870800255-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 394501 AFTER HOURS USD1145.5 2.43000000000006 0.21258540596813844% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2316 P/E Ratio 24.93608202443281 Market Cap 59253318863.926 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 680383 More quote details and news » (PCLN), the online travel booker, had been a disappointment when it last reported, back in August, as growth in flights and hotels was hampered by the economic morass in Europe. But it was all smiles Friday morning, as Priceline's shares surged 10% after the company beat revenue estimates by $60 million, a little under 4%.
Chirped Stephen Ju of Credit Suisse, who recommends the shares, the company stands to do OK because "as long as the macroeconomic landscape in Europe does not deteriorate, our estimates have an upward bias." Indeed, if only.
FUNNY ENOUGH, the only thing that really looked like a silver lining was the ray of hope bestowed by Microsoft. Chief executive Steve Ballmer said last week the company's sales of its newest operating system, Windows 8, are running at better than the pace of the prior version since the software was put on sale Oct. 26.
Microsoft shares rose 5% for the week.
Microsoft sold four million copies in the first weekend, it said, and it had already said two weeks ago that "pre-sales" in the September quarter to computer makers were up 40% versus the rate for Windows 7 three years earlier.
Now all the PC makers have to do is sell the hardware for which they bought all those licenses.
We'll see what happens with PC sales, and sales of Microsoft's tablet computer, the Surface, as the holidays unfold. As a product and a technology, Windows 8 has yet to show it's got consumer cachet, but it might yet.
Bear in mind that, at this time in 2009, stripped-down, ultra-cheap computers called netbooks made up 11% of PC sales, giving sales of Windows 7 a nice lift right out of the gate. The netbook has faded from view since then.
This year's netbook is a smartphone or a tablet, a dirt-cheap computing device that is all many people need. And most of those are running something other than Windows.

Whether you're completely new to Adobe Lightroom or have been using it from the start, this course from author and digital imaging expert Tim Grey will help you get up to speed quickly with Lightroom 4. He provides a complete overview of the Lightroom interface and workflow and shows how to set up Lightroom to best suit your needs. Along the way, learn the basics of importing, managing, optimizing, and sharing your images. Plus, discover how to use features like auto-advance, Smart Collections, the Library Filter, the Map module, and more.
If prior to starting to use Lightroom to manage your images you were using Adobe Bridge, you might be a little bit confused when you import images and your Color Labels seem to have disappeared. Well, not exactly disappeared, but actually changed in color. For example, these images, had a Red Color Label assigned to them in Adobe Bridge, but that Color Label appears as white in Lightroom. The reason is that Lightroom and Bridge, have different definitions of what those Color Labels should be.
Fortunately, it's relatively easy to change those definitions so that you can get your Color Labels back, if you assigned them in Bridge previously. The trick is to go to the Metadata menu, and then choose Color Label Set. You'll notice that there are Presets for Bridge Default and Lightroom Default. I'm going to click Edit to bring up the dialog where we can change the definition of these Color Labels. In Lightroom, by default, the Red Color Label has the word Red assigned to it, yellow has Yellow, etc., pretty straightforward.
The problem is, Bridge used a different structure, if we switch to the Bridge preset you'll see that red was select, yellow was second, green is approved, etc. Those words are what actually get stored in metadata for your images. So in Bridge, the Red Color Label just meant the word Select was embedded in Metadata. Lightroom didn't understand what Select meant in the context of the Color Label, so it showed a White Color Label, just indicating that there had been some label assigned, it wasn't sure which color. As you can see though, by switching to Bridge Default, those Red Color Labels are red once again.
So if you've been using Bridge to manage your images, I strongly recommend, before you start assigning color labels in Lightroom, that you change the settings in Lightroom to reflect the Bridge defaults for Color Labels. I'll go ahead and click Change, but notice that on the Metadata menu you could have also simply chosen Metadata > Color Label Set and then Bridge Default. With a Lightroom default you will see the Color Labels disappear, but with Bridge default I get my Color Labels back. This obviously can be a little bit alarming if you just imported images you previously worked on in Bridge.
But as you've seen, it's fairly easy to solve this issue.

This space has been seen many "movement toward socialism" missives since Mr. Obama became President.
Writers have predicted a quickstep march to a socialist hell on Earth. God save us, we could end up like Sweden (chuckle).
These writers blame Obama for all the job losses and refuse to admit the fact that eight years of the Bush administration had anything to do with where we are now.
Selective memory apparently can ignore the $1.5 trillion tax cut, primarily for the rich, another trillion for two off-the-books wars.
The greatest feat of memory, however, is forgetting that the global financial meltdown occurred on President Bush's watch. Forgetfulness, or selective filtering of information, extends to current events. This very day Goldman Sachs is still using the credit default swaps and other fanciful derivatives that brought the world to its knees. That's crazy.
The left often gets tangled up in its own brand of demonology and sees a different path to hell. Both sides tend to ignore the obvious.
An obvious fact is that the United States produces less than we did in the past. We now buy things from China, incurring ever increasing debt, and hand the borrowed money over to oil producing countries, many of whom despise us. This simply can not come to a good end.
Seventy percent of the U.S. economy is consumer driven. Remember when President Bush asked us to "go shopping" the day after 9/11?
Before the crash most Americans were not saving. Most were buying cars, houses, Nintendos, TVs and, in general, too much "stuff" they couldn't afford. This style of living became unsupportable for many after the 2008 crash. Bankruptcies and foreclosures skyrocketed.
If we want to turn things around, we should produce more here (which would significantly raise the prices of items).
Without a self-defeating "drill baby drill" mentality, we should cut our dependence on foreign oil (there is no painless, cheap way to do that). Consumers need to save more for rainy days and retirement (which would mean buying much less "stuff").
All the demonizing and "to hell in a handbasket" talk simply obscures the really hard, unpleasant, and unpopular things we need to do to get America back on an economic even keel.
There is no easy way out, and the colors of "The Truth" are shades of gray.

The Good News is, Tomas Berdych has played well this year and in the U.S. Open. He is in the the Quarterfinals of the last Grand Slam of the season. The bad news is, he must defeat Roger Federer to make it through to the semifinals. It might seem like a daunting task but Berdych is a player who is capable of the upset.
I was fortunate to get a good look at the veteran from the Czech Republic a couple of weeks ago in Winston-Salem. I was impressed with his play during that week, where he was a volley away from winning the Title, losing in a third set tiebreak to John Isner. He spent the week painting the lines with solid ground strokes from both sides, served well, showed exceptional foot work and was able to carry out his game plan. He will need to do all of that and more to upset Federer.
Berdych is no stranger to making deep runs at Grand Slams. He made it to the finals of Wimbledon in 2010 and the semifinals at Roland Garros the same year. He has made the Quarters at the Australian Open in 2011 and 2012. Berdych has worked his way to number 7 in the World but falls into that category of a handful of top players who get lost in the mix because of the dominance of the "Big 4". But make no mistake about it, Berdych is a solid player.
The World Number 7 has played a lot of tennis in 2012 with some highs and a few lows. He helped the Czech Republic win the Hopman Cup along with Petra Kvitova early in January. Following his run to the Quarterfinals in the Australian Open, he won his 7th career ATP title at the Open Sud de France against Gaels Monfils in early February.
Berdych defeated Andy Murray at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters in April during the Clay Court Season. He would lose to Novak Djokovic in a tough three set match in the semifinals but continued his Clay Court Season at the Mutua Madrid Open in early May where he defeated Juan Martin Del Potro in route to the Finals. He fell to Roger Federer in the Finals of that tournament.
He did not fare as well on Grass, losing in the first round at Wimbledon and then again in the 2012 London Summer Olympics at the same location which is unusual as grass has historically been his best surface.
But Berdych has bounced back nicely playing some of his best tennis late in the summer. He has a lot of weapons and if he can mentally stay in matches, he can be extremely dangerous. He will have to hit on all cylinders to have a chance against Federer who leads the head to head record over Berdych 11-4. But at 26 years old, the 6' 5" Czech is in his prime and playing his best tennis. He could be one to watch at the end of this season and into 2013.

— You're how old and you haven't won an Oscar? Don't cry. Hollywood gives out so many trophies, folks in the entertainment industry might feel honored if they can manage not to win anything.
The show business world loves to salute itself. This time of year, there are multiple award shows every week.
Just keeping up with the Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, and various other award shows could be a full-time job. In fact, it is a full-time job for award show expert Tom O'Neil. He runs Goldderby.com, which tracks the distribution of more than 4,000 annual show business awards.
Just like actors, directors and producers, these days Hollywood hairstylists, stuntmen and even publicists dispense glitzy awards. The field is so crowded, it can lead to confusion. Sound editors honor each other at the Golden Reel Awards, not to be confused with the Reel Awards — given out to the best celebrity impersonators.
Even the competition to dishonor Tinseltown's top turkeys is supersaturated with mock awards like the Razzies, Phlemmies and Stinkers.
If some of the more obscure awards have you confused, here's a little guide:
Best Coming Attractions: At the Oscars last year, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers lost out for best picture. However, the second installment of the Tolkien trilogy won a "Golden Trailer" for best action movie preview.
The movie trailer business is no joke. "Movie trailers play an increasingly important role in entertaining us and helping us determine where to spend our leisure time," according to goldentrailers.com.
"The best trailers are works of art in their own right, expertly blending elements of cinema and advertising."
If the producers who make coming attractions are making their jobs seem better than they actually are, that just proves they're good at what they do.
Dennis Miller hosted last year's Golden Trailers ceremony in Los Angeles as About Schmidt swept awards in the best comedy, best of show, music and voiceover categories.
Best Fraud: Woody Allen is famous for boycotting award shows. In Annie Hall he joked that Hollywood would be inclined to honor Adolf Hitler as "Best Fascist Dictator." But Woody's No. 1 celebrity impersonator — David Pires — feels differently.
Why shouldn't Pires and other celebrity impersonators have the "Reel Awards" — their own version of the Oscars? The tongue-in-cheek event is held in Los Angeles during Oscar week, with screaming fans and red-carpet arrivals at Hollywood's famed Roosevelt Hotel.
Last year, Nick D'Egidio picked up honors for his Frank Sinatra impression. Brendan Paul got a nod for his Elvis act, while the illustrious "Career Achievement" award went to Gene Greytak, who likes to play Pope John Paul II.
Other honors went to Dee Dee Hanson, who took a prize for her work as Joan Rivers, which can be easy, given the comedian's slavish devotion to plastic surgery.
At this year's ceremony, let's just hope the Russell Crowe look-alike doesn't punch anyone out.
Best Hack: How often is Johnny Depp hailed as a role model? The Hollywood bad boy recently won the American Lung Association's "Hackademy" Award for keeping his salty character tobacco-free in Pirates of the Caribbean.
The anti-smoking society also gives "Black Lung" honors. Last year's butt-ugly performance went to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was cited for "dancing with a cigarette in her mouth" in Chicago.

I was married in 06, separated in 2010, divorce was finalized beginning of 2012. We had a child in 2008. We have 50/50 custody. August of 2012 I was talking to my ex husband about where we are going to send our son for kindergarten. We both live 10 mins Away from each other so I asked him if we could please visit both townships and decide Which is best for our son. (My son is going into kinder sept 2013). I knew we should be getting a head start on it. He said oh that's not for another year we will talk about it then. I continued to argue with him telling him this is a very big deal. Well a week later he told me he was moving in w his new girlfriend an hour away. So that meant our son would be there half of the time. (He's in a pre k Around here he's been in for a while). Then a few weeks later I found out that he was engaged. (He didn't tell me but found out by Facebook). The new gf or fiancé has a 6 year old who pretty much from what I hear runs the show. So my ex called me a few weeks ago to see what I thought about him having him during the week everyday and me having him every single weekend. (That's the finances kids schedule ... W his mom during the week and dad every weekend). I of course said absolutely not. NO! Got a lawyer to modify our custody agreement saying he will go to school in my school district. I'm not the one who moved an hour away!!!! He would bring him to school on his days. I would never ask for him to not see his dad All week. We had a meeting with the mediator bc it's court ordered. We didn't figure anything out. He did say that he would continue to leave our son in the school he is in now for kinder and we will decide things in a year. I thought hmmmm... That's not exactly what would be best for the child bc I'd want him in k-12 w all of the same children. I told him I'd give him an answer tomorrow. There is soooooooo much more to this story. My ex is very controlling, and manipulative. My ex is brainwashing my child to love this new "brother" and isn't he just sooo much fun.. We are just such a big happy family. He gets the new "brother" to call while I have my son so my son will whine and cry and say I want to go to daddy's. it's just very sick thing. I don't know whether to let this ride out another year or to keep fighting. I'm so confused, upset and don't know what to do. My lawyer is no help but I don't have money for a better one. I have such a bad feeling that if I do say yes to him continuing the school he's in now got kinder that my ex and his lawyer have something planned out. My ex is a real sick guy... Great father ( well somewhat) but just sooo damn manipulative. Please if someone could give me advice on any of this id soo Appreciate it!!!!!
Put him in school like yesterday! Does the elementary have a preschool program that you could start now, to get him established? Honestly, though, I can't see your ex driving 4 hrs round trip 5 days a week to bring your ds back to your town for school on his days, so I doubt you have much to be worried about.
Almost certainly, your 50-50 arrangement will eventually be changed. Right now, your ex may be willing to commute to get your son to kindergarten, so he (your ex) can continue spending an equal # of weekdays with your son. But that's only because he (your ex) hopes that, by 1st grade, your son will live with him during the week. Neither of you will want to maintain a school-day commute, forever. And eventually your son will have homework and extracurriculars, so it won't make sense for him to have 2-hour weekday commutes in order to keep spending an equal # of weekdays with whichever parent lives in a different town from his school. Eventually, it will make sense for your son to spend only weekends at the out-of-town parent's house. Perhaps that parent could also drive over every Wed. and take your son out to dinner or do homework with him at the library.
The key issue is when that change will be made.
Naturally, your ex wants to wait on any legal action. He wants you to feel that if you go ahead and enroll your son in kindergarten near you, that clinches it and you're safe. Because in the year and a half between now and the end of kindergarten:
1) If he's smart, he will go out of his way to maintain his existing parenting time schedule, in spite of the distance. A) Your son will continue spending exactly equal amounts of time with each of you, making it very difficult for you to claim he's more bonded to you; or that spending the entire school week away from Mommy would be any more upsetting to him than spending it away from Daddy. B) Your ex can showcase what a remarkably devoted and responsible parent he is, keeping up with his parenting time and getting your son to school, in spite of his move. That doesn't necessarily make him look better than you. But it might offset your advantage, if your judge has a bias toward mothers.
2) He will marry his girlfriend. Right now, he has moved away from his kid to shack up with a new woman. "Fiancee" doesn't matter. Lots of people say they're going to get married, but wind up breaking up. However, by the end of kindergarten, he'll be able to say his "two-parent household" offers benefits to your son that your home doesn't. Ex.: if your son gets sick at school and needs to be picked up during the work day, he'll have twice as many adults to work out the logistics, as you will.
3) Her kid will become your son's step-brother and they'll have a year and a half to bond. Right now, in the eyes of the court, this is just a kid who belongs to Dad's shack-up girlfriend. (Sorry, "fiancee". Same thing.) By the end of kindergarten, the court will recognize some level of significance in your son's relationship with this kid. A judge might care that, if your son were only at his Dad's on weekends and his step-brother were only there during the week, they'd never see each other. Whereas, if your son spent every weekend with you and you drove over to visit him once or twice each week, he'd still see a lot of you, and his experience at his Dad's would feel more like family life and less fractured, with both kids in different places all the time.
Maybe your judge will think letting your son attend elementary school with the kids from his kindergarten class is more important than these other considerations. But it's just as likely that he won't. Your son's not in high school. LOTS of kids attend kindergarten at their church, or the Y, or the Montessori or co-op school where they went to preschool and start elementary school with a whole new group of kids. Lots of kids change schools in the middle of grade school, because their parents get relocated for work or there's a custody change. Sometimes these things happen in the middle of a school year. There is no guarantee that this will be the most important issue, to a judge.
Now - as quickly as possible after your ex's move - is YOUR best time to modify custody:
1) It's sensible. You're reacting to a change when it happened, not 2 years later.
2) If your judge - when forced to choose - is biased toward giving primary custody to mothers, then the younger your son is when you ask for primary custody, the greater your advantage in being the female parent.
3) If enrolling your son in 1st grade in your ex's new town meant changing primary custody from Mommy to Daddy, your ex would essentially have to prove you're unfit (very hard). But if you and your ex are still on completely equal footing at the start of 1st grade, then he only has to prove that for your son to go to the same school as his step-brother would be slightly nicer for him, than going to the same school as his kindergarten friends (not as hard).
If your mediation failed, you should be entitled to resolve the issues in court, not wait until your ex is willing to try mediation again.
One woman in a house full of men: my soul mate: or... twin sons:(HS seniors) ... step-son: (a sophomore) ... our little man: (a first grader) ... and there is another female in the house, after all: our.
Thanks. I have an honorary degree from New-Husband's-Nightmarish-Ex-Wife School of Law.
My husband has sole custody of his son, but his situation is extreme. I recognize (even my husband recognizes) that in most situations, if a child can't have both parents in the same house, it's preferable that he live with Mommy, especially if Mommy's capable of surmounting all the vitriol of the divorce and supporting the child's relationship with his Dad. It sounds like you are.
One woman in a house full of men: my soul mate: or... twin sons:(HS seniors) ... step-son: (a sophomore) ... our little man: (a first grader) ... and there is another female in the house, after all: our.
Don't you have to submit applications for kindergarten now? This can not be left too long or you will be limited in where your son can go. I wonder if your ex already has an application or two in for around his area just so he can say he's such a great organised dad?

OK, I am a mathematician but I'm not a geek by any means. I enjoy math but enjoy life too. Here is some info about me.... My name is Peter, I'm 30 years old, originally from Connecticut. I went to college and graduate school at Fairfield University, and my first jobs in education were in New York City. I currently live in Erie teaching at the college level. I LOVE my career! Nothing gives me greater pleasure than teaching students about mathematics. I can't see myself doing anything else in life and I owe my career path to my high school physics teacher. I need someone who can carry on an intelligent conversation with me. Whether or not I can respect your intelligence is entirely more important to me than whether you can name the cast of Jersey Shore. You also must know how to handle conflict without name calling and disrespect. I certainly don't have it in me to use someone for their money, but I want to find someone who is financially secure and responsible. I have zero credit card debt and know how to use a budget to monitor my spending. I need someone in the same mind set. I would like someone who is frugal and saves for the future, but who doesn't mind to spend money freely to have a good time occasionally. I want someone with good personal hygiene who takes care of her body. Smoking is a no go for me and drinking can't be an every night thing. I would like someone who is interested/involved in physical fitness on some level and has a positive self-esteem, however, if you work out every single day and are looking for the same, that's not me. I like paying golf and guitar. It would be cool if you did too, but if not, that's okay. I want someone who is potentially ready to settle down within the next couple of years. I am at the age where I am ready (but not desperate) to get married once I find the right person. I do not expect a woman to guess about what makes me happy. I am verbal about what I want and my opinion. Life is easier that way. I need someone who is comfortable in her own skin, has spent some time getting to know herself, and has a pretty clear vision for the future. If you have never been in a serious relationship before, please do not contact me. You will not be able to appreciate our relationship fully until you have a basis for comparison. I learned this the hard way. I am an extremely generous person and am always looking for ways to help people and make them feel special. I guess I this comes with my career as being a teacher! I am trustworthy, loyal (almost to a fault), and respectful. I expect the same in a partner. I live my life according to a plan for the most part so if you are extremely free spirited, this may not work out. At the same time, I think a little spontaneity is required in order to make life fun. I am looking for someone who appreciates me for me, both strengths and weaknesses, but who will not be afraid to challenge me and help me grow and improve. I can promise if I fall in love with you, I'll love you for who you are yet challenge you in return. I tend to want to spend a good deal of time together. No, not every waking hour. No, that does not mean you cannot hang out with your friends or family. I just feel like if you really love someone and enjoy spending time together that even running errands together can be nice sometimes. I think I'm a pretty funny and quick witted person. I tend to make people laugh when in a group. You may reach out to me at polszewski zero six, the numbers, y h o.

My last pet was my cat named Howard. He was 17 and passed away from old age back in October. I would like to get another cat but I still need some time to get over him first.
I recently took a trip to New Orleans, LA for a conference. The conference was EXCELLENT but the nightlife in New Orleans was something that I would love to experience again. I have never been to Europe but I hope to go as soon.
Fairfield University, Fairfield, CT
My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. It was because of this band that prompted me to learn how to play guitar. I'm totally self-taught on the guitar and play both acoustic and electric.
I love to go to art museums. My favorite is MOMA in New York City. During the summer months, my favorite activity is a play golf and swim. I'm lucky to live in a townhouse community that has a swimming pool since I grew up without ever having one.
I'm currently reading "The Pillars of the Earth." I love books that have a lot of rich detail.

The Great Unexpectedby Sharon Creech
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From Newbery Medal winner and bestselling author Sharon Creech comes a grand, sweeping yarn that is a celebration of the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness. With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an "enchanting tale to treasure," The Great Unexpected captures the heart and the imagination.
Humorous and heartfelt, this is a story of pairs—of young Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in present-day Blackbird Tree, USA, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up sisters from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who have become estranged.
Young Naomi Deane is brimming with curiosity and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. She knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. Just like that. A strangely charming Finn boy. And then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy—and soon Naomi and Lizzie find their lives changed forever.
As two worlds are woven together, Creech reveals that hearts can be mended and that there is indeed a gossamer thread that connects us all.
"In a story that is part folktale, part mystery, and part comedy, Newbery Medalist Creech (Walk Two Moons) traces a series of strange events, beginning with a boy's fall from a tree, which is witnessed by an orphan named Naomi and her friend Lizzie. The boy, Finn, might be part of the Dimmens clan, who live up on Black Dog Night Hill, or his appearance might be more ethereal in nature. In alternating chapters, readers are whisked between two evocative locations: Naomi's town of Blackbird Tree and an impressive Irish estate owned by an ailing mystery novel buff. Neighbors, strangers, and a collection of odd artifacts are all part of a puzzle Naomi tries to solve — and readers will be working just as hard to do so. The fun that drives the book forward derives from Naomi's plainspoken narration (her barely concealed jealousy over Lizzie's interactions with Finn is especially well-done), along with uncovering the surprising connections between characters and wondering whether magic is at the root of the baffling occurrences. Ages 8 — 12. Agent: Amy Berkower, Writers House. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

I had big thoughts to match the big wind. I wondered if we find the people we need when we need them. I wondered if we attract our future by some sort of invisible force, or if we are drawn to it by a similar force. I felt I was turning a corner and that change was afoot.
In the little town of Blackbird Tree live two orphan girls: one Naomi Deane, brimming with curiosity, and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, who could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. For she knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins and Mr. Farley. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. The strangely charming Finn boy. Then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy. Soon Naomi and Lizzie find themselves zooming toward a future neither could ever have imagined. Meanwhile, on a grand estate across the ocean, an old lady whose heart has been deceived concocts a plan. . . .
As two very different worlds are woven together, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech celebrates the gossamer thread that connects us all, and the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness.

- Full-day Konavle Valley tour from Dubrovnik with a local guide
- See the scenic foothills of Sniježnica Mountain as you travel to Brajkovici village by coach
- Visit four family-run wineries and travel between each one by mini-train
- Enjoy three wine-tasting sessions and savor a hearty 'peasant's lunch' to soak up the wine
- Watch a wool-making demonstration at an old mill in the seaside village of Ljuta
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from central Dubrovnik included
What You Can Expect
Hear the history of this relatively undiscovered area from your guide as you travel through its sleepy villages, admiring the sights. First stop is in Brajkovici village to visit a family-run wine cellar. Learn about grape cultivation in the valley and hear about the centuries-old expertise that attributes to the winery's success. Besides a history of wine production, the unassuming little village also boasts a mini-train that runs deep into the heart of Konavle Valley. Board this train next, and then hop on and off as you travel through the area, visiting three more family-run wineries.
At each one, meet the local winemakers and hear their production secrets interpreted by your guide. Sample their best whites and reds, and try a few of the region's syrupy sweet dessert wines while learning about their defining characteristics. In one of the vineyards, a typical 'peasant's brunch' will be served to help you soak up the wines. Feast on a suitably rustic (and delicious) dish of bacon, onions, cheese, eggs and bread, and then enjoy a slice of traditional cake at the last winery visited.
Hop back aboard your mini-train for a final ride to the coastal village of Ljuta. Visit its old mill to learn how the village's flour was milled in bygone days, and then watch a demonstration of another village craft – wool making! Dressed in Croatia's eye-catching national attire, a host at the mill will explain these crafts, while showing you how vital goods were made.
Return to your Dubrovnik by coach, and arrive back at your hotel in the early evening.

October 2014
The wine tour was very enjoyable and exceeded expectations. The tour guides were very pleasant and handled those who spoke English as well as those speaking German.
September 2014
This was brilliant value, and one of the highlights of our stay in Dubrovnik. We visited five vineyards, from very small (two and a half acres) to large commercial operations, and were offered at least two wines at each as well as some mysterious and very potent spirits - so don't make ambitious plans for the evening! The owners were all friendly and welcoming, and in the case of the excellent dessert wine, gave an enthusiastic and very interesting talk about its production. The rustic lunch is excellent, and the woolen mill is idyllic and our young guide was superb. Very highly recommended.

The course also explores the tools needed to work with CSS, the differences between embedded and external styles, how to use selectors to target elements, and what to do when styles conflict.
Welcome back! Now in this movie I want to check your solutions to our resolving conflicts lab with my finished files. Now again, remember in CSS there are often multiple valid solutions, so don't assume that if your solutions don't match mine that they are incorrect. In those instances compare why you made the decisions to structure the selector the way that you did with my own rationale and decide which one you prefer. So to go over these files, I'm looking in the 03_07 finished_files folder. I have the galleries.htm opened up, and I have the main.css open from the _CSS file.
Now I just want to preview this in my browser so I can kind of see what our finish files looks like. Okay so our styling here is correct now. We've got the proper styling here. We've got the proper styling in our headlines. The dates are showing up the way we want them to. Over here in the paragraphs in the sidebar, they're sized the way that we want them to. So everything is looking pretty good. All right, so I'm going to go back into my code and I'm going to talk about the solutions that I came up with. So I'm going to go to the main.css, and I'm going to start with our first task, which was applying global default styling.
I'm going to go down to line 72, and I can see that I took all of those properties that we needed and I placed them inside of just a generic everyday body element tag selector. It's a smart choice, because applying this styling to the body element means that it's inherited by everybody on the page that can inherit it. It's also a basic rule, so it's easy for interior rules to override it if they need to. It's also towards the top of my code, the top of my styles, so it's applied first and then any of the other selectors below it that need to override it can also do that through the cascade.
So there's a lot of thought that went into where it is located and then the selector that we are actually using there. The second task we were given was to deal with the conflicting styles down around line 244. We had the articles section styles conflicting with the page-specific styles. Now I'm going to scroll down and show you what I did there. Okay, so around 244, in this case around 253 or so, are my article styles. And before, you may have remembered that we had the #content ID selector as part of these as well.
Well, that is way too specific. Remember IDs are 100, so each of these had specificities of 102, 103--very, very high. So it was very difficult for these page-specific styles that come after it to overwrite them. So there are a couple of different ways that you could have solved this. One is that you could have made these selectors here more specific, but since they already use ID selectors, adding another layer of ID selectors to them and making them even more specific than this was probably not the right choice.
In this case, the right choice was to go in and reduce the specificity of these selectors, allowing them to now be overwritten by these more specific selectors. Now if I scroll down a little bit more, here is a rule that I wrote to target just the heading 2s inside the galleries page. Now there are also a couple of different ways that you could have solved this. Number one, you could've gone over to the galleries.htm and you could've written an embedded style for that page. Some of you may have done that. That was not wrong solution. That works just fine. It would have worked okay.
It would've overwritten any type of rule here that would have targeted the galleries h2 as well. But I'm of the mind if I don't have to use the embedded style, I don't want to; I want to avoid that. So using the same type of rationale that these other selectors are using, I combined the h2 selector with the galleries ID--notice that I use the descendent selector with the space between them-- and that way I'm only targeting the h2 that's inside of that galleries region, which is only going to occur on the galleries page, and you can see that right there, article ID galleries. Perfect.
Now the last thing that we needed to do was to target the paragraphs in the sidebar, and I wanted to limit the styling to the paragraphs that were in the contest region. So if I scroll down to about line 567, so where did I place this? I placed this rule inside the aside styles regions. That's really where it belongs and I just took it almost all the way down, you know, towards the bottom of those rules. Now the selector that I wrote is a p element selector that's used in a descendent selector with the .contest.
If you looked over the structure of these, you'll notice that each of these sections has a class of contest applied to it. Yes, there are other ways to do this. I could've done aside, space, p; that would work just fine. There are other selectors that would worked as well. But I like using the class selector here because it really refines the fact that this should only be applied when it's on those contest sections. So it was specific enough; it is in the right place, in terms of organization within the style sheet; and it targets exactly the element that I'm looking for. Excellent! Now there are a lot of different solutions for how you could've done that, so if you did it a little bit differently than I did, don't feel that it's wrong.
Again, just compare your logic with mine and see which one you like best. Now honestly, the absolute best way to reduce the amount of conflicts in your styles is through planning and organization. By knowing how your site is going to structured and developing a strategy for organizing styles based on that structure, you can eliminate many of the conflicts before they even happen.
