Let's assume he's Father of the Year. Is he really going to want to schlep a couple of kids out on tour with him? IIRC, they aren't even pre-school age. He can hire nannies and rent a house at every tour stop but it's not going to be the same as having Mom there.
I don't necessarily think he's an awful dad. I have no idea whether he is or not. But he is a very driven person and his #1 priority seems to be being the best golfer ever. Even if he was monogamous, it would be difficult for someone like that to be there for his kids when they need him. If Elin moves back to Sweden with the kids, he shouldn't have any problems flying over there to see them whenever he wants since he's a billionaire.
And it isn't just that he had an affair with the nanny either (Not saying he did but it's just an example). This was serial infidelity. The old cliche about having a girl in every town seems to apply here. It's risky health wise to do that. Just ask Magic Johnson.

YIELD: Makes 6
For compote:
Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until figs and prunes are soft, about 10 minutes. Cool compote slightly. Transfer to small bowl. (Compote can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
For custards:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine cream, half and half, and pepper in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring cream mixture to simmer over medium heat. Cover; set aside 10 minutes to steep. Discard vanilla bean. Whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in warm cream mixture.
Divide custard among ramekins. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake custards until set in center, about 35 minutes. Remove custards from water; refrigerate uncovered until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
Preheat broiler. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons raw sugar crystals over top of each custard. Place custards on small baking sheet and broil until sugar melts and browns, rotating sheet for even browning, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate custards uncovered until topping hardens, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
Serve custards with compote.

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want something upscale with quality and class, I would recommend http://www.thecateredaffair.com/
They have been in business since 1979 and have been the recipients of numerous prestigious awards. As for Lavisdly Dunn, low-grade one man show comes to mind. AVOID!! Don't be fooled by the website, it is not his creation and not a true reflection of this amateur!

I did go with Lavishly Dunn and they did an awesome job!! Not sure if previous poster is an actual bride since this is his/her first post. And also b/c I know that the founder of LD used to work for Catered Affair. This looks like sour grapes from a competitor to me. I'm about to post my full wedding review, and you will see that I highly recommend LD. Their food was awesome and they did a super job. And, btw, my husband is a chef so we are fussy about food.

Janet Jackson is the latest pop music star rumored to be in talks to join "The X Factor." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jackson has expressed interest in joining the show, but the talks are in the preliminary stages.
On an upcoming episode of Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show, Cooper asks Jackson if she is currently a part of "The X Factor" judging panel. The singer sidesteps the question, saying, "No, I am not. But that's all I really think I should say."
After a so-so rated first season, the Fox singing competition dropped Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger as judges. The shake-up didn't end there, as Steve Jones was axed as host. L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell will return as judges as the search to fill out the rest of the panel continues.
According to reports, Whitney Houston was approached to be a judge/mentor just days before her sudden death.
Cowell told Piers Morgan that Houston was a name the producers were discussing. "We were ironically going to meet on Monday and of course, one of the names we were going to be talking about in that meeting as a possible mentor on the new series of 'X Factor' was going to be Whitney Houston," Cowell said.
"The X Factor" started off a tumultuous first season with Abdul signing on the dotted line at the last minute. Then, early in the audition rounds, UK pop singer Cheryl Cole was fired from the panel. Scherzinger, who was serving as co-host, filled her seat.
"Well, all I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show," Scherzinger said of her time on "The X Factor." "I know everybody's talking about it. They're saying good, bad, they love me or hate me, but the one thing you can't say is that I didn't give it my all."
Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at Fox, told EW that new judges won't be the only changes. "There definitely will be lots of different changes in the show," he said.
Cowell is reportedly taking meetings with potential judges in late February as the show ramps up for Season 2 production. HuffPost TV compiled a wish list for who we'd like to see on the panel and as host. Click through the slideshow below to see our picks.
The voluptuous R&B singer would be a bombshell addition to "The X Factor" judges panel, an A-list acquisition that could provide the same kind of buzz that "American Idol" enjoyed after J.Lo came on board. Carey, who's been a long-rumored target on Simon Cowell's "X Factor" short-list, could capably fill the flightiness void left by Paula Abdul's departure. As Wendy Williams quipped, "Mariah's crazy 24/7 ... and I love it."
Sure, he's going to appeal to the older crowd who remember his long reign as the king of accessible piano pop, but Sir Elton is so mega-rich and successful that he doesn't have to mince words or mind his manners. Yes, "X Factor" already has one acerbic Brit, but how about adding one with an eye-popping wardrobe and an actual musical talent?
Reege! Let's face facts, "X Factor" has been a ratings disappointment and can't be picky about who its viewers are. Why not blatantly appeal to the aunt-and-granny brigade by adding one of our favorite daytime dudes to the mix! Regis is a lively pro who knows how to add a bit of fun to whatever he's part of, and since he left daytime TV, it's not like he's fully booked up.
If "X Factor" wants to compete with the current artists judging and mentoring over at "The Voice," Lady Gaga would be an amazing get. After all, who else better to walk the wide-eyed contestants through the glamming-up process that comes with fame?
Need a judge who brings star power, has a glam presence and likes to stir things up? Her Madgesty fits the bill in every respect. Still mega-competitive after all these years, Madonna wouldn't let those trying to usurp her pop-diva throne get away with shoddy performances, and her putdowns would likely be a thing of beauty.
Mike Rowe is one of the most genuinely entertaining hosts on TV, and after this "X Factor" bloodbath, they'll need someone used to cleaning up "Dirty Jobs" to help steer the ship. Bonus: He's a classically-trained opera singer, so he can offer musical expertise on top of his sense of humor, timing and handsome good looks.
If Simon Cowell wants to put a pop megastar behind the judges' table, then look no further than the princess of pop, Britney Spears. Sure, she's had a rough couple of years, but Brit Brit never stopped selling albums. Now, she's healthy, happy and in need of a serious pop culture comeback of epic proportions. What better way than to be a judge on "The X Factor?" We can't see the Femme Fatale being too critical, but she'll bring a nice positive balance to the mix. Think Paula Abdul on Season 1 of "American Idol." Also, the Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera rivalry would live on, with Xtina on the NBC's "The Voice." We love some good smack talk.
This could be just the thing to break Seal out of his post-marriage-breakup doldrums. He's familiar with the music biz, too, so he may be able to provide some actual insight.
Lance Bass would have a lot going for him as a judge on "The X Factor." The former member of *NYSNC knows what it takes to make it in the music business, and after getting extensive NASA training for a space mission that never happened, he'll have the skills to deal with Simon Cowell's planet-sized ego.
Can you imagine Cher and Simon Cowell clashing on a twice-weekly basis? Think about it. Plus, Cher's working on a new album, "The X Factor" would be a perfect way for old and new fans to get a sample of what Cher has to offer.
Rachel Crow's run as a contestant "The X Factor" ended with the 14-year-old singer collapsed on the stage in tears, raising questions about whether the rigors of reality talent competitions should be inflicted upon minors. What better way to answer those criticisms than to have Crow herself return as a judge and kids' coach?
When "American Idol" auditions hit Savannah, GA. on the current season, Sean Kraisman emerged as Ryan Seacrest 2.0. He could have easily won the role of America's New Top Ryan so why not give him a hosting opportunity, especially if "The X Factor" really wants to compete with "Idol"? His voice could trick someone into thinking he was Seacrest, even though his singing was god-awful.
This teen troublemaker would contribute something essential to the 'X-Factor' judging panel: youth. Not to mention she's been straying towards the 'bad girl' side of things lately, and hey, every show needs a bit of controversy.
We would tune in every week if Queen Latifah could provide a little taste of her own individual sass on the judging panel. Isn't it about time we had a strong female judge with something definitive to say instead of endless, pointless rambling?
Blake Shelton may be the country king of NBC's "The Voice," but his wife Miranda Lambert, a country superstar herself, is just as hysterical and twangy as him. We'd love to see a healthy rivalry between husband and wife. Also, it's about time for Simon Cowell to start embracing country music, and Miranda would be the perfect judge to show him just how tough -- and stubborn -- country girls can be. Something tell us that she wouldn't put up with Simon and L.A.'s cattiness.
The legendary diva would bring a lot of cred to "The X Factor" judges table. With her years of experience and countless hits under her belt, something tells us Tina wouldn't be afraid to tell contestants like it is.
If "The X Factor" wants to crush it's competition in the demo (and appeal to a younger audience), then they need to enlist some help from the ultimate teen charmer, Darren Criss. We know that he can sing and dance -- any self-described Gleek will tell you that -- but Darren also has enough charisma to outshine Ryan Seacrest any day of the week. He's goofy, incredibly good-looking and he's already on Fox! Not to mention he'll attract millions of young fans to the somewhat stale reality show. Simon would be a fool not to let Darren host.
JBJ has been rocking for almost three decades -- with 11 Bon Jovi albums and two solo albums under his belt -- and he's dabbled in acting over the years as well. We think he could bring that wisdom to "X Factor," and maybe help impart the idea of stage presence to the performers before this show goes down in an inglorious blaze.

The Los Angeles Lakers announced the hiring of coach Mike D'Antoni on Monday. D'Antoni replaces Mike Brown, who was fired on Friday. The Lakers signed D'Antoni to a multi-year deal but did not release the terms of the contract. However, it is believed to be for three years and worth $12 million. "After speaking with several excellent and well-respected coaching candidates, (owner) Dr. (Jerry) Buss, (executive vice president) Jim (Buss) and I all agreed that Mike was the right person at this time to lead the Lakers forward," general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a release. "Knowing his style of play and given the current make-up of our roster, we feel Mike is a great fit, are excited to have him as our next head coach and hope he will help our team reach its full potential." Former Lakers coach Phil Jackson was also a candidate for the job. Jackson won five titles with the Lakers in two previous coaching stints with the team. He reportedly sought several contract demands, i...

Pope Francis phoned Rome's chief rabbi to express condolences on the murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni said the pope called him at home on Tuesday afternoon, the day the teens were buried side by side and within hours of the Vatican releasing a strong statement condemning the killings, according to the daily Il Messaggero.
Di Segni told Il Messaggero that the pope said, "Good evening. This is Pope Francis. I wanted very much to personally express my grief for the death of the three youths."
The rabbi, who said he first thought the call was a prank, also said the pope had said he would pray for the boys and their families.
Earlier in the day, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi had called the murders "terrible and dramatic." He said "the assassination of innocent people is always an execrable and unacceptable crime and a serious obstacle on the path toward the peace for which we must tirelessly continue to strive and pray."
Lombardi said Pope Francis "participates in the unspeakable suffering of the families struck by this homicidal violence and the pain of all persons afflicted by the consequences of hatred, and prays that God might inspire all with thoughts of compassion and peace."
Also Tuesday, clashes in Rome between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrators left several injured, including one pro-Palestinian demonstrator who reportedly was beaten up by supporters of Israel.

FilthyPosted Aug 10, 2014
This has to be the dirtiest motel I have ever been to. I think there is no cleanup done between guests. You can expect it already as you park , because the parking is as filthy as the rooms. I have no issues with old furniture or roms as long as it is clean , this one is just discustingly filthy.

Nice place for pricePosted Jul 30, 2014
Pros: price, ease of finding place
Cons: cots if you have to pay for extra kid
Location: right on main rd. Lots of restaurants and stores near by
We stayed here twice and were pleased with the place. Nothing fancy but for the price was good. Clean, friendly and worked well for us. They do count a 15 yearold as an extra adult and charge $10 for him. Would have been understandable if he hadn't slept on the floor so didn't take any extra beds or a cot. Overall, happy and would stay again.

Good for the pricePosted Jun 10, 2014
Pros: Price
Cons: New shower curtains mine was moldy, and better lighting
Location: It was far off the exit than I thought but within walkng distance to downtown Endicott
I was a little sketchy about the hotel., however I was pleasantly pleased. Rooms were clean and so was bedding, rooms are very dated but beds were comfortable. Lighting not exactly good, A/C worked fine. No coffee pot in room and there was no breakfast served even though it was stated there was one. All around, for $100 for two nights, worked out great.!

Rock hard bed. No staff.Posted Jun 8, 2014
I called earlier in the day to notify inn staff I would be arriving later after a wedding. They said fine. Arrived before 11pm and no staff members were in sight. Called the number for after 11pm staff and no one answered. Waited in lobby for a half an hour before anyone showed up. She was miserable and unfriendly. Room was fine except the bed was awful, so stiff. It might have been just a plywood board with one flimsy pillow per person. I probably would have been more comfortable sleeping in my car. Woke up with a stiff neck and a sore back. Went to check out before 11am and again no staff in sight. Had to call the phone designated for after 11pm to find someone.

This motel location was perfect for me.Posted May 17, 2014
Pros: The location
Cons: for me that would be a extra pollow
Location: the location on a main road was good for me. I do not know anything about area attractions
This Motel was right on the main highway 17C. This allowed me to get in and out with a minimum of effort. it was easy to get back on route 17 and continue my trip the following morning. I enjoyed a comfortable nights sleep and was out and on my way early the next morning. i would stay here again.

Great place for the moneyPosted Oct 27, 2013
Pros: Its location was easy to get in and out of. The place was quiet and peaceful
Cons: The hotel needs cosmetic updates like painting and new wallpaper
Location: Friendly's was a nice place to go. Without a directory for local services, I did not go anywhere else.
I was looking for an economical place to stay for one Friday night to meet friends on Saturday for lunch. For the price the Hotel met my expectations. It would have been nice if there was more information available like a directory in the room for local services and a TV channel guide. A coffee maker would have been nice. There was a microwave and a refrigerator in the room so I suggest bringing some basic food items. The closest place to get something to quick to eat is Friendly's about 2 miles into town.

Shaping Healthy Choices combines approaches to make a lasting impression on kids
"Simply offering healthy options is not enough to motivate children to make healthy choices," said Sheri Zidenberg-Cherr, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Nutrition at UC Davis.
"Moreover, imposing restrictions rather than providing children with options to make healthy choices can have long-term negative effects," said Rachel Scherr, assistant project scientist, also in the UC Davis Department of Nutrition.
In 2012, more than one-third of children in the U.S. were overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have shown that obese children are more likely to be obese as adults, increasing their risk for health problems including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer and osteoarthritis. To target the complex issue of eating habits, Zidenberg-Cherr and her UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis colleagues designed a school-based program and tested it in Sacramento and Stanislaus counties through the leadership of UCCE nutrition, family and consumer science advisors Terri Spezzano and Yvonne Nicholson.
"Parents shared with me that their children are voicing input on meals and asking if they can add fruit to their salads," a participating teacher told the researchers.
During the first year that the Shaping Healthy Choices Program was implemented in Sacramento County schools, the number of children classified as overweight or obese dropped from 56 percent to 38 percent. The participating students also improved their nutrition knowledge, ability to identify different kinds of vegetables and amounts of vegetables that they reported eating.
"I tried zucchini and yellow squash when I was little and didn't like it, but now I tried it and I love it!" said a 9-year-old student.
The Shaping Healthy Choices Program takes a multifaceted approach, combining nutrition education with family and community partnerships, regional agriculture, foods available on school campus and school wellness policies.
The garden-enhanced, inquiry-based nutrition curriculum was developed by Jessica Linnell, a doctoral candidate in the Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology; Carol Hillhouse, the School Garden Program director at the Agricultural Sustainability Institute; and Martin Smith, a UCCE specialist in the Departments of Human Ecology and Population Health and Reproduction. The family and community partnerships featuring family newsletters were developed by Carolyn Sutter, a graduate student in the Graduate Group of Human Development, and Lenna Ontai, a UCCE specialist in the Department of Human Ecology. Lori Nguyen, a doctoral candidate in the Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology, Sheridan Miyamoto, postdoctoral scholar in the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, and Heather Young, dean of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, organized community-sponsored health fairs.
Gail Feenstra, deputy director and food systems analyst for the UC Agricultural Sustainability Institute, helped the schools set up systems to add fresh, locally grown produce to their menus. Jacqueline Bergman, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Nutrition, coordinated school-site specific wellness committees.
The UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis team worked with classrooms to use Discovering Healthy Choices, a standards-based curriculum that incorporates interactive classroom nutrition, garden and physical activity education for upper elementary school students. Teachers partnered with UCCE to incorporate cooking demonstrations to show the connections between agriculture, food preparation and nutrition. To reinforce the lessons at home, Team Up for Families – monthly newsletters containing nutrition tips for the parents – were sent home with the students. School Nutrition Services purchased fruits and vegetables from regional growers and distributors to set up salad bars and prepare dishes made with fresh produce. The Shaping Healthy Choices Program activities were integrated into the school wellness initiatives.
"My students shared things they learned about safe food handling and safety in cooking," said a teacher who participated in the study. "Parents said their children want to help in preparing meals at home."
"My daughter is more interested in trying new foods and eating more fruits and vegetables," reported one parent. "She often surprises the family by making a surprise salad snack for everyone."
Preliminary analysis shows that nine months after the classroom education ended, the decrease in the students' body mass index percentiles, or BMI percentiles, was sustained. "This is a big deal," said Zidenberg-Cherr, while cautiously encouraged by the program's success. "We are in the process of analyzing several aspects of the program — the data set is so complex and I have to feel 100 percent confident in our statements."
Through a partnership with UC CalFresh, the researchers have expanded the comprehensive program to schools in Placer, Butte and San Luis Obispo counties. Determining feasibility for expansion of the program for broader dissemination is planned for the 2015-2016 school year.
This project was funded by grants from the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The University of California Global Food Initiative aims to put the world on a path to sustainably and nutritiously feed itself. By building on existing efforts and creating new collaborations among UC's 10 campuses, affiliated national laboratories and the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the initiative will develop and export solutions for food security, health and sustainability throughout California, the United States and the world.
Picture this: UCCE focuses on healthy meals for Healthy Weight Week (Jan. 18-24)
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled a new food graphic, MyPlate, to remind consumers to choose healthier foods. Work by Cooperative Extension in California that began years earlier influenced the adoption of MyPlate by USDA. Nutrition educators in California began using a plate graphic with USDA's My Pyramid several years ago in a research project with Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program participants. While evaluating the use of their graphic, which was very similar to USDA's MyPlate, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisors found that a graphic depiction such as the one USDA is using for MyPlate is abstract for many families.
"We discovered that our clients need to see photos showing real food combinations in order to apply the MyPlate message to real food choices," said Cathi Lamp, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor. "They prefer to learn by viewing photographs with foods and meals they eat to see how it works and how they can implement the guide in their lives."
They evaluated the behavior of consumers who were trained with the revised Plan, Shop, Save and Cook curriculum with photos of food and compared it with the results of the original version of the lessons.
"Everybody enjoys looking at pictures of foods," said Lamp. "So what we have now in our nutrition classes are lots of photographs of healthy examples."

Five ways NOT to poison friends and family during the holidays
You may be thinking, "My family has eaten food that has been sitting on the table longer than two hours and survived." Consider yourself lucky.
"We keep learning more about foodborne illness," says Patti Wooten Swanson, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition advisor in San Diego County. "We probably did get sick, but we thought it was something else, like the 24-hour flu."
She added that kids, diabetics, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to foodborne illnesses.
For the holidays and all year long, Wooten Swanson offers these food safety tips:
- Thaw turkey or meat in the refrigerator.
- Don't wash raw meat or poultry in the sink before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat or poultry is done.
- Put leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours.
- On the fourth day, throw leftovers away.
"Bacteria grow very rapidly," she said. "From 40 degrees to 140 degrees is what we call the danger zone. We encourage you to get food out of that temperature range as soon as possible. Don't let food sit on the table after you finish eating and go to watch TV."
While you're watching football, she also recommends not leaving food out the length of a game.
"Chips are fine to leave out," Wooten Swanson said, "But put the salsa and guacamole in small containers, then put out new bowls at halftime. Take away the original containers to wash or discard.You don't want to refill a bowl that has been out for 2 hours."
"We put an emphasis on hand washing because it can prevent cross-contamination, which helps prevent foodborne illness and can keep us healthy during the flu season," said Connie Schneider, director of the UC Youth, Families and Communities Statewide Program.
She recommends rubbing your hands together with soap and water for 20 seconds to thoroughly clean them.
The UC Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) teaches hand washing as a food safety practice in its nutrition classes for adults and children. After taking the class in San Diego County, 72 percent of the 340 participating adults improved their safe food-handling practices and 55 percent of 1,231 children improved, said Wooten Swanson, who oversees the nutrition and food safety education program.

Parents can make healthful eating fun for kids
Studies have shown that we develop our eating habits early in life, according to lead author Lenna Ontai, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Human and Community Development at UC Davis.
"We know that it is not enough to just teach parents what to do. We have to support them in how they can take that knowledge home and use it effectively," said Ontai.
Healthy, Happy Families provides parents with practical information about how children develop and tips for raising a healthy and happy child. It includes fun and easy activities for parents to do with their preschool-aged children to promote healthful eating.
Children who spend more time with their parents tend to be happier and learn better, the authors write. They recommend eating together as a family to help children learn to make healthy food choices. Letting children help plan and prepare meals helps them develop new skills. Children also learn social skills during family meals such as talking and listening.
For cooking with kids, they recommend
- Explaining why it's important to wash our hands.
- Setting up an area for the child that is away from the stove and oven.
- Using a low table or safe step stool.
- Letting the child taste.
- Using child-sized utensils.
- And most of all, making it fun!
In a fun way, parents can create a healthy learning environment and teach their children healthful habits that will last a lifetime.
"Helping parents tune into their children's development and supporting positive interactions around food makes a big difference as children grow," Ontai said.
The Healthy, Happy Families workbook is available in packages of 10 for $15 in English and is now available in Spanish as Familia sana, familia feliz in Spanish. There is also a companion publication for teachers called the Healthy, Happy Families for Teachers curriculum. All three publications can be ordered at http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu.
At the end of the school year, we celebrate success
As the school year comes to a close, the schools we work with are humming with end of the year festivities. Students are looking forward to summer break, but always ask if we will be on campus teaching nutrition next school year. The answer is an enthusiastic yes!
As we say our temporary goodbyes for the summer, we've been reflecting on all of the wonderful experiences we've had. UC CalFresh staff really enjoy collaborating with teachers dedicated to helping children and families build healthier lifestyles. It's a joy to see children learn to make healthier choices over the school year.
Here are some of the highlights from our work in community nutrition education that we couldn't wait to share!
Teaching Yokomi elementary students how to build a healthy body
Trying new foods at Columbia elementary
Learning about edible plant parts at Sunshine Day
Teaching 3rd graders to choose "anytime" foods at Farm and Nutrition Day
The above images capture just a glimpse into the exciting world of nutrition education. This year we've celebrated alongside parents who have earned a certificate in our class series, helped establish nutrition corners to promote healthy eating, and so much more! We can't wait to see what next school year holds!

37 year old man | Richardson, TX, USA | Seeking women 28-45 within 20 miles
It was worth a shot I suppose.
Well, you made it! I figured at some point you would finally get fed up with all the stale, predictable and let's face it, lame profiles on here right? This online dating thing can be a real pain. Sifting through profile after profile like a HR manager going through a pile of boring resumes and finding mostly a bunch of "Miltons" from Office Space. Or perhaps you always seem to get emails and winks from "those guys". I'm sure you know what I mean. As attractive as some of those typical 30K a year "millionaire" lifestyle half-wits wearing tiny T-shirts and flexing in the bathroom mirror are, don't you want something more? More importantly, don't you feel you deserve more? I think it's time we all set the bar a little higher. You should ask yourself what you really want to get out of this whole online thing. Is it love, happiness or just simply to meet some new people? Well, what exactly are you looking for? Here are the "Cliff's Notes" about me… I am a stable successful career driven I.T. guy with a good head on my shoulders. I am not your typical I.T. geek though. I have a great personality, I'm comfortable in my own skin and know what I want in life. I love to laugh and I have a wild and crazy sense of humor. I try not to take myself too seriously but I do also have a sense of decorum when needed. I am family oriented and I love kids. I don't have any of my own yet but I do really like children. I have never been married either. I just haven't met the right woman yet. I enjoy going out for dinner and drinks, but I am also fine with just staying in and watching a movie at home. In other words, I don't always have to be out and about to have fun. I love music and have played both drums and guitar since I was about 13. In my free time you might find me at the pool, seeing a live band, having a cold one on a patio somewhere, working out, bowling, rocking out some karaoke or a hundred other things. I am pretty much down for whatever and I love trying new things. So what do I want and where might you fit in? Well, I want the full package. I want brains and beauty. So, ask yourself, what is attractive? What is sexy? What is comfortable? I am looking for woman who is classy. Notice I said a woman? I want a woman, not an immature girl. Consequently this is why I don't want a beautiful but empty headed pretty young thing who can't even carry on a decent conversation. This woman must have her own career or at the very least be working towards some long term goals. No offense but I'm not interested in a career bartender. I like for a woman to be ambitious and independent but not so much that she can't share her life with someone. Ultimately, I'm looking for a woman who is low maintenance but takes care of herself, someone who is confident but not presumptuous and someone who is sure of who they are. It is important to me that a woman takes care of herself and is physically fit. A great smile, awesome personality and a witty sense of humor is very sexy to me. Those are the first things I look for in a woman. Of course there HAS TO be some sort of physical attraction there as well. I'm not all about looks, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I am not looking for a physically and intellectually stimulating woman because that would not be an honest statement. I think everyone wants to be with someone that intrigues them and excites them on an emotional and physical level. So, if you think you are a good match for me then please state your case. If you just wink at me then chances are you will not hear back from me. I try my best to reply to everyone but please don't take offense if I do not. It is hard to reply to everyone. I ask that you please DO NOT contact me if you do drugs, have more tattoos than you have teeth, are married (separated and currently going through a divorce are completely different), pawn your children off on babysitters all the time so you can go out and party or live in bars.

I currently do not have any pets but I like cats and dogs.
I am usually always somewhere new and different these days. How about you tell me. I am always wanting to try new places and things. Perhaps you can show me some new spots to try.

I love the outdoors! I'd rather be outside at the pool, beach or just sitting on a patio somewhere as long as it's not 114 degrees outside. I also play the drums and guitar and like to write and play when I can. I like pool, darts and karaoke too.

Written by published author Phyllis Edson, the e-book offers simple tips to adopt both "green" actions and healthy living.
"January is an excellent time to start thinking about making changes in your life and in your home. This book provides the reader with some ideas of how families can work together and live more healthy," she said.
For example, in the month of December, the e-book provides information on how to cut down on waste and how to recycle Christmas decorations. Another month, offers tips for getting exercise as a family while planting a home garden. The information in the book is presented in a way that allows the family to work together toward the goal of healthy living, said Edson.
"Moms and families are busy. While we all want to live healthier sometimes finding time to think about it and plan how that's going to get done falls by the wayside. My e-book simply offers small tips and allows the whole family to become involved. Part of the book calls for the entire family to discuss healthy living goals and discuss what they want to do," she said.
Edson's ebook is available exclusively on Kindle.
Edson has 20 years of writing experience. Her services include ghostwriting, press releases, copy writing, e-mail marketing, blogging, posts for social media sites and more. For each client, she says, she provides professionally written, well-researched products that satisfy the needs of the individual client and appeal to that client's audience.

I've been on the receiving end of these sorts of union negotiation proposals: "well, it's not very good, in fact it's pretty crappy, but do you want to sign it anyway?". Fehr obviously won't put it to them this way - in fact it looks like he will crap all over it. It's a matter of degrees obviously (I don't make a million dollars a year - very far from it), but the players are going to have to decide whether their "principles", outweigh their economic imperatives. As a member of a union I've had to make that decision as well. Some players will say, "I can live with this", some will not be so willing. Put it to a vote and see where the chips fall, is what I say. I doubt the league is willing to negotiate too far off this latest proposal.
The thing that worries me is if Fehr really sees this as a watershed, history making moment. The opportunity to be THE GUY, who forced two leagues into crossroads moments. I wonder what Ted Lindsay thinks...... .

I think that your idea of presenting the two together is an excellent one.
I saw a Gedney retrospective a few years ago at MOMA in San Francisco, and felt that he certainly made extensive coverage of his material, but there is no depth to it. Adams, on the other hand, judging from the DVD of his work, digs deeply into his somewhat banal subject matter, but there is a definite paucity of the breadth of his coverage (thanks in part to his method of working with the view camera). Neither of these men present a very honest picture of the people of Appalachia.

Outside the Bubble:
What the Main Street Papers Say
by Joan Kim
Here in the animation community, we hold high expectations for the animated feature film to break out of its "kid's only" realm. However, we, and our readers, might be a bit biased. Therefore, we went out to the rest of the news community to hear what they had to say. Finding the entertainment editors and movie reviewers from cities across the U.S., we heard their views about animation, and how they feel their readership -- a readership most familiar with Disney -- regards animation.
What is the main street speak about animated features? Are we breaking out of the "kids only" mold yet? These home town gurus with their ear to the ground break it down for us and tell us we still have a long way to go...
Kevin Cox, Datebook Editor
The Des Moines Register, Des Moines, Iowa
Animated feature films are viewed very highly, especially in Disney's case. Adults have come to expect high-quality, entertaining stories that they can take children to see. DreamWorks also has shown promise with The Prince of Egypt and The Road to El Dorado. Other studios' films haven't been so lucky (Titan A.E., for example), but they can't all be successful. The success goes beyond standard animation though, as the Toy Story movies have shown the promise of computer-animated movies.
I've seen only a few attempts at catering animated films specifically to adults. Princess Mononoke was the latest I can think of, and it was only successful on a small scale. Most of the adult-oriented animated fare has been on cable TV and direct-to-video, with many of those features based on comic book heroes like Batman and Spawn. In terms of animated films for adults and kids, films like Toy Story have been successful. Overall, I think the animated feature film is beginning to evolve out of the "kids only" realm, but it hasn't gotten very far yet in the eyes of the general public.
Larry Toppman, Film Critic
The Charlotte Observer, Charlotte, North Carolina
I think that box office totals show us that unfortunately most people regard animation as primarily for children. Good animated films that offer non-kid content, although they might be kid-friendly, are not really for kids and tend to get overlooked which I think is unfortunate. My feeling is that animated movies are for a wide, wide range of people and it is actually my favorite genre. I'll try not to get on my soap box, but if I had to take one genre to a deserted island that's what it would be.
I think animated films can be made that satisfy children and adults on different levels. Even something as simple as The Emperor's New Groove does that. It has humor for kids and humor for adults, but I think adults tend to ghettoize them.
I'm a dreadful predictor, but I think Emperor's New Groove will do well. Obviously Disney's name is the most potent selling point that you can attach to any kind of film, mainly any kind of animated film. The main interest in it is that there is a huge demand for the Disney name regardless of what is being offered under it. So, I think it will do well -- whether or not it grosses as high as some of the more kid-friendly movies like Tarzan, I'm not too sure, because it isn't particularly directed at young children.

Remembering Charles Greenhill: Young Tiger 'would have been a great one,' says former CA prep reporter Larry Rea
While serving as the high school sports reporter at The Commercial Appeal from 1967-88, Larry Rea had the opportunity to watch and meet some of the best football players ever to come through the city.
And he has no doubts about where Charles Greenhill ranks.
"I think he would rank in the top five," Rea said of the former Frayser High star who died in a 1983 plane crash after his freshman season at then-Memphis State. "He would have been a great one, there's no doubt about it.
"In those days, there wasn't a lot of specialization for athletes like there is now. I know he loved baseball and I think he would have been a great baseball player, too."
Greenhill's personality also made him an engaging person to talk with, something Rea — who also served as the paper's outdoors editor before retiring in 2001 — always appreciated as a reporter.
"Charles was a great interview," he said. "He was very polished and he had the ability to relate to people. He had an exceptional personality.
"He was Mr. Everything at Frayser. I always kind of think of him like Elvis; you always remember him the way he was."

Here, there be dragons.
Ancient red dragons with 527 hit points, +44 to attack, and a 20d10 breath weapon, to be specific. In the world of fantasy role-playing, those numbers describe a winged serpent with immense strength and the ability to spit fire. There are few beasts more powerful - just like there are few games more important than Dungeons & Dragons.
Even if you've never played Dungeons & Dragons, you probably know someone who has: the game has had a profound influence on our culture. Released in 1974 - decades before the Internet and social media - Dungeons & Dragons inspired one of the original nerd subcultures, and is still revered by millions of fans around the world. Now the authoritative history and magic of the game are revealed by an award-winning journalist and lifelong D&D player.
In Of Dice and Men, David Ewalt recounts the development of Dungeons & Dragons from the game's roots on the battlefields of ancient Europe, through the hysteria that linked it to satanic rituals and teen suicides, to its apotheosis as father of the modern video-game industry. As he chronicles the surprising history of the game's origins (a history largely unknown even to hardcore players) and examines D&D's profound impact, Ewalt weaves laser-sharp subculture analysis with his own present-day gaming experiences. An enticing blend of history, journalism, narrative, and memoir, Of Dice and Men sheds light on America's most popular (and widely misunderstood) form of collaborative entertainment.

"Interesting...but disjointed"
This is a very informative and well-researched book. However, seemingly in an attempt to make it more entertaining, it jumps around a lot, frequently shifting back and forth. I found that a bit confusing, distracting, and annoying.
The content itself is great, but the manner in which it is presented and organized leaves something to be desired.
"Interesting Topic, but Terrible Execution."
Never. I really found the narrator annoying. He completely missed the bus on what could have been an interesting history of Dungeons & Dragons. His story is not interesting, yet he seemed to decide his personal D&D history should be the primary focus. Seriously, there are long stretches of the author explaining how he named his characters when he was a kid and a chapter describing a weekend retreat that was only vaguely related to D&D (LARP). Spent most of the book just shaking my head, trying to figure out if this was a self published blog excerpt.
Done some research beyond Wikipedia, maybe realize that the journey of a novice D&D player to a somewhat less novice D&D player wasn't that interesting. Possibly not have an arrogant sounding narrator constantly interrupt the story with a completely unnecessary old lore exposition. Maybe not end compete sections with snarky, unfunny jokes (example: it's not the size of the sword, octopuses are cool, etc.). Really the book just rubbed me the wrong way start to finish. Needed an editor to step in and add some focus to the story. Spoiler: Near the end he gets a chance to play with various co-creators of the game, and in each instance comes off as unimpressed by them, yet marvels at the old yellow tape on a ping pong table. I typically don't write reviews and read dozens of books each year, but this book was terrible.
It won't -- don't worry.
Let me know if anyone finds an interesting book on this subject. It sounds fascinating.
Loved when he described the break up of the two founders, and just glossed over the reason explaining, "no one seems to know". Seemed like he tried real hard to get to the bottom of that.
"Lots of fun and nostalgia for D&D players!"
I have not read the print version.
The story is fascinating and the tale is told interestingly. The author weaves historic notes and details with bits of story telling, bringing the games he is discussing to life. He is a real good old D&D player himself and the journey back in time to go over the birth of the game and its historic impact was entertaining, educational, and full of nostalgia for those who were there. For those that have never played D&D this book could be the key to understanding what it is and why people enjoy it so much.
"grab your dice and sharpen your pencils it's time"
What a great read. Mixing history and storytelling. If you are a D&D fan I highly recommend this book :) it sets a fire inside to play. From the beginning to the satanic panic to 5th edition this book covers it all.
"great book for D&D players"
great story that covers the begins of D&D. I really had a wonderful time listening to stories similar to our group game
"Very informative, as well as exciting."
I really loved the performances of campaign events. This book was highly satisfying. I learned a lot, and it's even inspired me to try fifths edition.
"Excellent! Great memories flooded as I listened..."
Great insights into the evolution of the game and company. It was easy to listen too and very entertaining. I recommend it for all you gamers out there just for nostalgia's sake.
This book is essential for those looking to find their gaming roots and for those that love a gamer and wish to understand them.
"modified 20"
Overall a good tale of both the start of gaming and also bits of an "in game" storyline. I know the places and people from my youth so it hit home on that front. I'm an avid tabletop gamer so it hit there too. Over all it was very entertaining.
"Entertaining look at D&D history"
It really is just that. Where did it come from? What is it? What is it like to play it? What's happened to it? And where is it going? It's all here, with a well performed read!

mansion that is now Stella Maris Retreat and Conference Center was
designed by Stanford White, built in New York City and brought to
and assembled on Skaneateles Lake in 1879. It was originally the
summer home of Frederick Roosevelt, cousin of Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1945 it was acquired by Burns Lyman Smith of
the Smith Corona Typewriter Company who gave it to his sister, Flora
Bernice Smith. She sold it in 1952 to the sisters of St. Francis
of Syracuse and after some renovation it was blessed as Stella Maris
- "Star of the Sea" by Bishop Walter A. Foery in 1954.
It began as a retreat house for Catholic women and
over the years has expanded to include men and women of other denominations
and to act as a conference center for various groups desiring a
peaceful space of meetings, retreats, gatherings, etc.
Stella Maris is owned and operated by the Sisters
of St. Francis who, along with a dedicated staff and volunteers,
serve the needs of all who come here desiring spiritual growth,
renewal and peace.
The Sisters of the Third Franciscan Order of Syracuse are
a community of vowed women religious rooted in the charism
of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi and committed to further
the reign of God through prayer, contemplation, witness and
ministry. We strive to make Christ visible in our compassionate
and joyful response to all people. We challenge ourselves,
as visionary women of the Church, to a creative personal and
communal presence in the world and to an openness to risk-taking
as we accept God's invitation to be instruments of Christ's
peace and loving servants to those in need.
