ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors had a full slate at the first round of monthly committee meetings at the board of supervisors chambers on Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Skyrocketing utility costs from National Grid elicited strong responses from several lawmakers:
"There has to be some control," said Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (D-Moriah) on the rising utility costs resulting from this month's polar vortex and cold snap.
"If we ever did that with taxes, we wouldn't be around for very long."
Scozzafava said that the rates, some of which have reportedly risen 50 percent from last month, were "devastating" for the elderly and those on fixed incomes.
"And there's no explanation on the bill, nothing."
He called for the State Public Service Commission to investigate and expressed a desire to cooperate with State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and Assemblyman Dan Stec's (R-Queensbury) office.
Supervisor Dan Connell (D-Westport) said that he was "besieged" with complaints from constituents as he was leaving a town hall meeting on Monday night:
"I couldn't get out the door," he said.
Connell said residents told him that after extensively examining their bills, they found a rise in the cost per kilowatt hour was the reason for "most" of the increase — not their overall usage.
"We're going to go at this from a number of different directions," he said.
County health department official Jessica Darney-Buehler delivered a presentation on the agency's pending plans to whip county residents into shape:
"We want to make sure that we're using our limited resources to the best of our abilities," she said.
An assessment plan determined that the leading priorities are to reduce obesity in children and adults and increase access to chronic disease preventive care and management.
The county has identified different approaches on how to handle each issue, she said. To combat obesity, officials hope to examine how community environments are designed and how they contribute to the sustained epidemic.

we've got signatures, help us get to 3,000 by May 31, 2010
The California Fish & Game Commission voted 5:0 a few months ago to ban the importation of live turtles for food in Asian live food markets throughout California where they are cruelly kept and butchered alive. We along with Action for Animals and other animal welfare groups have been asking for this ban for 16 years. In that time period, millions of turtles have been killed by slow torture. The Commission has received more than 2,500 letters in support of the ban, fewer than two dozen against.
Now, the Asian community has rallied six Asian legislators in California who are calling us racists and are demanding that the vote be overturned. The six Asian American legislators who signed the letter are Assembly member Fiona Ma, Senator Leland Yee (both from S.F.), and Assembly members Ted Lieu, Paul Fong, Mike Eng, and Warren Furutani.
California imports some 400,000 freshwater turtles per year for the markets. ALL the turtles are taken from the wild in other states, depleting local populations. None of these animals are native to California, and the exotics displace and prey upon our native wildlife when released into local waters, an illegal though common practice. All of the market frogs and turtles are diseased and have parasites - we've tested them. E. coli, salmonella, pasturella, giardia, you name it are rampant, and though it's illegal to sell such products but this has been ignored for 16 years. The Commission would be foolish to reconsider the ban, and likely be sued.
Please send your objections and request that the ban stay in place. Time is of the essence as there is a conference call between Fish & Game, the market owners and interested parties this Thursday, May 20th.
Here's how to help: Write to the Commission at firstname.lastname@example.com asking that the ban stay in place.Your subject line should say, Keep the Turtle Ban in Place.
Thank you! Remember May 23rd is World Turtle Day, so save the turtles!

"Falling Awake" tells the powerful story of Jay (Andrew Cisneros), a young Latino musician in the Bronx who struggles to find his identity in a home crowded with family members and a neighborhood of loyal friends and dangerous enemies. After he meets the beautiful Manhattanite Alessandra (Jenna Dewan), his determination to reach toward a wider world and realize his musical dreams becomes even stronger. But he is tied by loyalty to his friends and to his ex-Marine brother, and by the expectations of his frustrated, angry father. As Jay fights to break free of the cycles of anger and violence that grip his life and his neighborhood, he learns that only love can help him grasp his elusive chance at happiness, and comes to a new understanding that helps him take the long, uncertain leap into his future.

Comparing bedload conditions in the Cascabel watersheds, Coronado National Forest
Koestner, Karen A.; Neary, Daniel G.; Gottfried, Gerald J. 2008. Comparing bedload conditions in the Cascabel watersheds, Coronado National Forest. In: Hydrology and Water Resources in Arizona and the Southwest. 38: 33-40.
Oak savannas and woodlands are a significant ecosystem type of the Southwestern Borderlands spanning approximately 800,000km2 (31,000 mi2). However, there is little hydrologic data available to aid in the informed management of these lands (Gottfried and others 200 1). Therefore, an ecosystem-scale experimental watershed study was established to study the hydrology and ecology of southwestern oak savannas, as well as evaluate the effects of cool and warm season prescribed fires on multiple ecosystem components.

Nando's is a refreshing change from the usual fair offered at northern VA restaurants...a quick ride into DC to enjoy the market and museums then a side trip on the metro to Dupont Circle to this little tucked away restaurant os well worth the trip on a weekend afternoon. The food is fresh and consistently good! We always get the hummus as a starter and the sangria is the best we have had! It may not matter to some people but..the bathrooms are always clean and the atmosphere of the restaurant is always pleasant when we stop in. We highly recommend this one! Fun change!

If you like chicken the other way (Not fried or battered) then give it a whirl. Fresh and marinated and healthy enough. The Portuguese have been cooking this way for years. Now it has a South African touch.
Posted by Lisa on 04/14/2009
The setting is lovely but overly complex. What should be an order at the counter and have your food delivered affair has been complicated by a hostess and waitresses. We were really excited to try Nando's and left disappointed. Pollo campero or other similar Peruvian chicken outlets offer better quality of rotisserie and the sides were all a let down as well. I liked the grilled cheese slices but really, how can you mess up cheese? The food wasn't bad but it wasn't great either and for the cost it really should have been great. Too bad, we were hoping this place could become a favorite.

Awareness Day on Sept 16 at Morningside Church, Port St. Lucie
PORT ST. LUCIE - An Awareness Day is being held at Morningside Church in the Fountain Room, 2180 SE Morningside Drive, Port St Lucie, on Monday, Sept. 16, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is hosted by Central Florida Parent Center, one of the parent training centers in Florida, and is for parents whose child has a disability or is struggling in school (from a suspected disability).
We are asking parents to register for the Awareness Day by emailing email@example.com or calling 772-284-4458 so that we know how many people to expect.
Central Florida Parent Center (CFPC) is a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to parents of children with disabilities/special education needs. It receives funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, for its AWARE project, a Parent Training Information Center (PTI). Central Florida Parent Center is the PTI for northeast and eastern Florida. I am Doreen Franklin, the IEP coach for the Southeast Counties, which includes St. Lucie County.
The AWARE project (Assisting With Achieving Results in Education) provides one-on-one assistance and support to parents by providing the tools they need to help be active participants/advocates for their child in the educational process. Not only do we provide one-on-one support, we also provide resources and other options to the parents so that they are able to be more knowledgeable about and involved in their child's educational process. Central Florida Parent Center is not an advocate nor are we attorneys, but we offer help to parents to learn to be advocates for their child.
Central Florida Parent Center offers parents collaborative ways to support the school/district in services for their child and helps parents understand the cooperation with the school/district to ensure their child is receiving services that are appropriate. We also offer to attend IEP/504 meetings with the parents as support. All of the staff at Central Florida Parent Center are parents or grandparents of a child with a disability, so we have walked where these parents are currently walking which helps us to better understand the parents and their concerns.
Parents and professionals can also visit our website, www.cflparents.org, and check out the resources, the free training events (webinars) and the guestbook, which is signed by parents that we are working with or have worked with. These events are offered to parents for them to gain knowledge about the IDEA law in order to help them to learn to advocate for their child.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 772-284-4458. Have a great day!
**Please also feel free to come to the Awareness Day on Sept 16th and see what Central FL Parent Center is all about and how we are able to help parents whose children have special needs.

Bayer Unveils Agchem Plans; Ups Pipeline Estimates
3:34 PM MDT | September 26, 2011 | —natasha alperowicz in monheim and haelen
Peterson: One size doesn't fit all solutions. Bayer CropScience, a leading agchem producer, has embarked on a strategy built around four growth pillars and says it is likely to exceed previously announced targets for its bioscience business and for the estimated value of its product-development pipeline. The company also reiterated its guidelines for 2011, which include a "high single-digit" percentage sales improvement on a currency- and portfolio-adjusted basis. Bayer CropScience also plans to expand Ebitda before special items by about 20% compared...

Billy Mitchell murder case featured on America's Most Wanted, gunman still on the loose
D.C. police believe that the gunman who murdered District resident, Billy Mitchell on January 19, is still wandering the streets of D.C., most likely near the community where Mitchell was shot, America's Most Wanted reports.
Mitchell, 33, was walking home from an evening at the theater, and he saw man harassing a young woman. He was trying to intervene, but it didn't help.
The gunman and Mitchell wrestled, but the gunman overpowered Mitchell and shot him in the stomach at the intersection of Florida Avenue and North Capitol Street.
According to the police, the gunman is a black male in his mid-20s who stands 5-feet 6-inches tall.
Police recovered a surveillance video near the scene, which captured what the suspect wore. He wore a distinct jacket that has palm trees embroidered on the back and the name "Scarface" written in the script.
If you know anything about the murder of Billy Mitchell, call 1-800-CRIME-TV or leave your tips online. You can remain anonymous.
America's Most Wanted will return to Fox April 23 at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

New to the sight and was wondering does anyone know about this MFSS (multiplied force striking system) by Russell Stutely. His website claims to incorporate some "waveform" techniques that result in more powerful strikes. Naturally I suspect it's BS but thought I'd put it out to see the official response.
Welcome to Bullshido. You might find that a judicious use of the search function is helpful when you are looking for information. It would appear that Mr Stutely has been discussed several times before. Try looking here.Failing to become awesome since 1976

Chicago student eating her school breakfast Feb. 25, 2011 -- Chicago's school board recently unanimously voted to require its elementary schools to serve daily free breakfasts by the end of the 2010-2011 school year. This groundbreaking measure, better known as "Universal Breakfast," will provide a nutritious breakfast each school day to all 410,000 elementary school students enrolled in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) - regardless of financial need. The initiative expands the School Breakfast Program, a federally-funded program by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, to include an additional 299 elementary schools in the Chicago school district.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service encourages other school districts to follow Chicago's lead. Research shows that students who eat a nutritious breakfast perform better in school, have fewer behavioral problems, and are less likely to miss school due to illness. Additionally, Universal Breakfast decreases potential stigma associated with participation in a free or reduced school meal program; provides balanced nutrition to all students; and boosts struggling local economies by providing much needed federal reimbursement funds to school boards.
Nationally, elementary, middle, junior high, and high schools participating in the School Breakfast Program receive cash subsidies for every meal they serve meeting federal nutritional guidelines. The current reimbursement rate to schools for free breakfast is $1.48 per meal served. A variety of strategies to administer the School Breakfast Program exist, including Breakfast in the Classroom, Breakfast after First Period, Grab -N- Go, and Breakfast Carts. For more information, please visit the School Breakfast Program website or contact email@example.com.

Museum shows Carson biopic "A Sense of Wonder"
RALEIGH – Rachel Carson's love for the natural world and her fight to defend it are the focus of a new film, "A Sense of Wonder," which shows at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on Sunday, May 24 at 3:30 p.m. as part of a 100-city nationwide tour. Free.
Rachel Carson — writer, scientist and ecologist — was born in 1907 and grew up simply in the rural river town of Springdale, Pennsylvania. Her mother instilled her with a love of nature and the living world that Carson expressed first as a student of marine biology and later as a writer. She began a 15-year career in the federal service as a scientist and editor in 1936 — writing pamphlets on conservation and natural resources —and rose to become Editor-in-Chief of all publications for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
In Carson's free time, she tried her hand at lyric prose, first in the article "Undersea" (1937) and then in a book, "Under the Sea-Wind" (1941). In 1952 she published her prize-winning study of the ocean, "The Sea Around Us," which was followed by "The Edge of the Sea" in 1955. These books constituted a biography of the ocean and made Carson famous as a naturalist and science writer. She resigned from government service in 1952 to devote herself to her writing.
Carson wrote several other articles designed to teach people about the wonder and beauty of the living world, including "Help Your Child to Wonder" (1956) and "Our Ever-Changing Shore" (1957), and planned another book on the ecology of life. Embedded within all of her writing was the view that human beings were but one part of nature distinguished primarily by their power to alter it, in some cases irreversibly.
Disturbed by the widespread use of synthetic chemical pesticides after World War II, Carson reluctantly changed her focus in order to warn the public about the long-term effects of misusing pesticides. In "Silent Spring" (1962) she challenged the practices of agricultural scientists and the government, and called for a change in the way humankind viewed the natural world. Testifying before Congress in 1963, Carson called for new policies to protect human health and the environment.
Carson died in 1964 after a long battle against breast cancer. Her life and writings continue to inspire new generations to protect the living world and all its inhabitants.

ANNUAL SALARIES FOR the world's top soccer stars can rival those in other sports. However, it is off the field where the true earning power of the elite players comes into play.
The greatest example of that is David Beckham. Beckham is well-past his prime as a soccer player but his popularity, style, and good looks have him sitting atop the list of the world's highest-paid soccer players.
On the next few pages, we will take a look at the top 10 highest-paid footballers, as calculated by Forbes.com, and how much they make both on the field and off.
It is worth noting that Samuel Eto'o, who plays in Russia, is not listed. It is believed by many that he has the highest salary for any soccer player. However, it is unclear if his reported $26.2m salary has ever been verified.
All figures below are in US Dollars.

What to Ask Your Wedding Photographer Before Hiring?
Posted on 12. Jan, 2013 by Brian in Engagement Photography, Location, Photojournalism, Planning, Wedding
As couples plan their wedding day, one of the most important decisions involves choosing your wedding photographer.  Your selection of a photographer is going to have a direct impact on the memories of your wedding day.
Finding the perfect Colorado wedding photographer means asking the tough questions. Choose the photographer that fits your needs and you will have wedding images to cherish forever.
Your wedding is one of the most memorable days of your life – Are you going to trust preserving the memories to just anyone?
Choose your photographer with care and you will ensure that your wedding photographs are perfect, beautiful portraits capturing the emotion of the event.
Here is a list of list of items to talk about when choosing your wedding photographer.
- Wedding Experience – discuss the photographer's experience. While you might pay a lower price for a new photographer, remember this is a once in a lifetime event that is almost impossible to recreate. Do you want to entrust your wedding photos to someone without a proven record of success.
- Photo style – discuss the photographer's shooting style. Are they creative and have a style that will have your wedding party posing in non-traditional ways? How will the wedding photographer approach the day? Make sure their creative vision agrees with yours.
- Quality guarantees – discuss the quality of the photos, including the post-production process. Will you own the digital negatives? All photographers have different post-production processes and use different manufacturers for photographs and for the extras, like albums and frames. What will the photographer do if you have an issue?
- Other guarantees – your satisfaction should be the priority. Make sure your photographer is professional and prepared for the unexpected, such as emergencies, equipment failures, etc. What guarantees are in place to ensure that you receive the pictures you were promised?  This is the real definition of a professional wedding photographer.
- Timeframe for finished images – with most services, you receive the final service the day of the event. With photography, you wont receive your images until days or even weeks later. Make sure you know how much time it will take from the day of the wedding until you have your proofs, and how long it takes to receive your final images once you have made your selections
- Pricing - pricing can include your original package price, plus any extras purchased outside of your inclusions. Find out all costs an ask how long pricing is guaranteed. Get specific numbers so that you will not be shocked by a large bill later.
- Sample pictures and albums – ask to view samples of other weddings. Good wedding photographers will have plenty of samples, including complete albums, for you to view and learn from. Look closely, can you see yourself in the images? Do they have the right look and feel?
- Archiving – find out if your photographer offers archival services. This is important if you ever lose one or more of your photos to loss or damage. More than one bride has lost everything from a computer crash and/or house fire. A trusted professional will be there and have your images in the event of a loss.
- Staffing your wedding – who is going to be taking the actual pictures. A great interview with a professional wedding photographer will do you no good if their assistant ends up being the one taking the images. Discuss who will be the main photographer and the experience of all involved.
- Services Contract – have a contract signed by both parties that details all the photographic services and products that include: time photographing your wedding, ownership of images, cancellation policy, payment details and any other services. This is to ensure both parties meet all agreed expectations.
Finding the perfect Colorado wedding photographer means doing a little homework and asking the right questions. Choose the photographer that fits your style and budget and you will have wedding images to cherish forever.

The honorees, "recognized for their lifetime achievements and exceptional contributions to the advancement of jazz," also include much-recorded bassist Richard Davis, also a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; composer, multi-reed player and educator Anthony Braxton; and Jamey Aebersold, a saxophonist and educator best known as the creator of Play-A-Long recordings and instructional books, which have enhanced jazz education for several generations of musicians (including me). Aebersold is the recipient of the A.B. Spellman NEA Jazz Masters Award for Jazz Advocacy.
Each new Jazz Master will receive a one-time award of $25,000. They'll be honored with an awards ceremony and concert slated for Jan. 13, 2014, at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. The proceedings will be streamed live at arts.gov and jalc.org/live

Editor's note: The following is the second of a four-part series on Columbia City's football team.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whatever plans the Eagles made for 2012 — Columbia City was brought down to Earth in a season-opening loss at the hands of its neighbors to the west, the Warsaw Tigers.
The Eagles fell by a score of 20-14 in a game where their defense gave up 323 rushing yards.
"I was disappointed by how we came out in that first game," said head coach Randy Hudgins. "But, that game got us much more focused.
"As coaches, there were things we probably could've done to have the players better focused for the start of the season. We had some unusual circumstances with weather in the scrimmage with Goshen and with the season starting before school. Next time we're in that situation, we'll know how to handle it better."
Columbia City was able to get in the win column the next week at Whitko, then won again the following week against Bellmont, its first Northeast Hoosier Conference opponent of the season.
"Our guys rallied from week one to play Whitko in one of our better games of the year. Then we turned around and beat a very good Bellmont team. Our defense really started to step up."
On the way to the win over the Braves, Columbia City also suffered a big loss; senior running back Adam Neely broke his left tibia, the weight-bearing bone in the lower leg. Neely was sidelined by the injury through the rest of the regular season.
Neely combined for 527 yards and seven touchdowns in the opening three games, including 215 yards against Whitko. As significant as his departure was, it was not the last major injury a Columbia City player would suffer.
The Eagles opened up September with a home tilt with perennial NHC powerhouse Homestead. Columbia City fell 41-6 in the contest, but Hudgins gleaned a few encouraging observations from the meeting.
"We slowed them down and caused several turnovers."
The Eagles took what they learned against the Spartans and applied it to their game the following week at DeKalb. They beat down the Barons 62-10.
However, along the way to its second NHC victory, Columbia City lost another senior starter to injury. Linebacker Austin McCormick blew his knee out at the end of the half. McCormick was done for the season.
"You never like to see that," said Hudgins. "That was a difficult one for us. He's rehabilitating. Hopefully he can play baseball this spring."
Eagle starting offensive guard Russell Hazelet was one among others that had to step up to fill the void in the linebacking corps.
In the DeKalb game, Columbia City made school history. For the first time in Eagles football, a female scored a point, as senior Haley Boner kicked a point-after-touchdown in the second half of the game.
Following the DeKalb win, Columbia City held a 3-2 record, having gone 2-1 in NHC games. That was the last time the Eagles held a winning record in 2012.

ORONO, Maine - Senior co-captain Michelle Thornton (Gloucester, Ontario) netted one goal and assisted on three others to lead the University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team to Sunday's 5-2 ECAC victory against the University of Maine at Alfond Arena.
UNH completed the weekend home-and-home series sweep to improve to 6-1-0 overall and 3-1-0 in the conference. Maine lost its third straight game to fall to 3-3-0 and 1-3-0 in the league.
The Wildcats took a 1-0 lead at 19:10 of the first period on a power-play goal by freshman Kristen Thomas (Wilmington, Mass.). Thomas scored her sixth goal of the season - an empty netter - with 47 seconds left in the game to seal the victory.
Maine tied the game, 1-1, midway through the second stanza on a power-play goal by Raffi Wolf. New Hampshire immediately regained control of the game with goals 79 seconds apart by Thornton (at 12:53) and Kali Wilson (East Lansing, Mich.; 14:11).
The 'Cats took that 3-1 lead into the second intermission and Annie Fahlenbock (Toronto, Ontario; goal, assist) extended the advantage to three goals at 14:52 of the final frame. Maine's Kelly Nelson took advantage of a 5-on-3 powerplay to close within 4-2 at 17:56, but the Black Bears could get no closer.
UNH sophomore goaltender Jen Huggon (Plymouth, Mass.) finished with 24 saves while Maine's Amanda Cronin turned aside 26 shots.
Freshman Janine Goulet (Gloucester, Ontario) extended her point-scoring streak to seven games with an assist on Wilson's goal. Goulet's nine points trails only Thornton (4-8-12) and is matched by Thomas.
New Hampshire plays a pair of home games next weekend when St. Lawrence travels to Durham on Nov. 17 and Cornell comes to town Nov. 18. Both games at the Whittemore Center begin at 7 p.m.

Posted: March 20, 2012
Los Angeles-based soul-punk-rock band Papa was already three shows into a five-show run at the South by Southwest music festival, but that didn't stop the Darren Weiss- and Danny Presant-helmed group from putting on an electric show at Cheer Up Charlie's on Friday night.
Drawing upon their 2011 EP A Good Woman Is Hard To Find and other tunes that should make it on a planned 2012 full-length, Papa had a dusty SXSW crowd dancing with their infectious grooves.
Highlights included Weiss' growling vocals coming to the fore front on "Collector," which held the audience's rapt attention as the crew attempted to find another kick pedal when Weiss' went missing.
Once he got the issue fixed, Weiss told the crowd, "When this shit kicks in, oh my God it's gonna be good."
As his cymbals crashed in a snarling crescendo, Weiss came through on that promise.
Papa closed with "Ain't It So" and "I Am the Lion King," a catchy number that even includes a break for Weiss to get out in the crowd for an impromptu handstand.
Weiss apologized in advance to the crowd if his voice faltered. As previously noted, it was the fourth performance for the band on Friday, with one more to go.
But no worries. Papa seemed fresh as ever despite their heavy work load.
For more information and a list of tour dates, visit Papa's official Facebook page.

How to Clean Your Car With Home Ingredients
Have you ever been annoyed by the long time consumed by the maintenance and cleaning of your car? Keeping your car clean will help it last longer but the products specially designed to clean them are very expensive. So, this article will let you know about how to clean your car effectively, with the products you would already have.
1Make a cleaner for the interior of your car, by mixing the equal amounts of water and rubbing alcohol. Spray the mixture on surfaces and then wipe them down with used fabric softener sheets which won't leave lint behind.Ad
2Sprinkle some baking soda in your car's ashtray, which will absorb the smells and odours and keep your car smell fresh.
3Baby wipe the glove compartment of your car.
4For the outside, rinse the car down to loosen up all the dirt. If you want a cleanser that will cut grease and grime, try shampoo. It's made to clean dirty, oily hair gently. Mix 2 teaspoons into a 2 gallon (7.6 L) bucket of water. Make sure that you wash with a gentle cloth. Plus, a clean dust-mop is a great scrubber for the roof and hood because it will easily reach where you can't.
5Clean road grime off windshield wipers with rubbing alcohol.
6Install a car perfume on the dashboard of the car if you want the fragrance to be maintained. You can put a car spray in your car's glove compartment, so whenever you smell bad odour again, you can spray your car.
7Now, see the changes in your car, it would be very clean and shiny, as well as the interior's bad odour would have been changed into fragrance.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Clean the windshield and windows, as well as any other glass surfaces, last.
- Never use a room spray in your car, as it will make visible spots or shapes on your car's seat covers.
- Do not use too much rubbing alcohol, when making a mixture for the interior, or water.
- Be aware that it may be illegal in your state to wash your car on a street where the water would drain into the street water drains due to environmental protection laws. This is true for several European countries, such as Germany. In that case, only wash your car at a car wash. At a self-service car wash, you can bring your own cleaning supplies as outlined above.
- Do not try to clean your car's tires through the used clothes or any other thing, as it would not affect your car's tires in any way. It is better to have them cleaned by a service/tuning stations.
Things You'll Need
- Spray bottle
- Baby wipes
- Dust mops
- Rubbing alcohol
- Water
- Shampoo
- Fabric softener sheets
- Soft clothes
- Baking soda
- Bucket

ELIZABETHTOWN - Essex County lawmakers voted today to join five other counties in opposing state and federal legislation that mandates a switch to computerized voting systems.
The March 4 resolution comes in response to state election laws designed to satisfy the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, which, among other things, requires voting devices to be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Under the state's Election Reform and Modernization Act (ERMA), mechanical lever machines were to be phased out by September 2007 and replaced by electronic machines that offer better access to the blind and those in wheelchairs. The deadline was later extended to January 2010.
Citing their exorbitant cost and unproven reliability, Many in Essex County and elsewhere in New York are opposing the unfunded mandate.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the lever machines work without failure," said Essex County election commissioner Lewis Sanders, "and the security is much better than that of the computer systems."
The county spent nearly $12,000 apeice on more than 20 electronic voting systems last year, and Sanders said training election officers to set up the machines is extensive and costly.
A statewide movement to oppose the switch is being spearheaded by the Election Transparency Coalition, a citizen watchdog group on election procedures. Andrea Novick, legal counsel for ETC, spoke at the meeting, congratulating the supervisors on their decision.
"I'm really gratified that Essex County showed such leadership and am hoping it will encourage other counties to join," said Novick, "and ultimately to join in litigation with citizens to challenge the constitutionality of ERMA."
Novick said the switch wholly to computer voting machines was unnecessary because disabled voters could now use a ballot marking device, or BMD. The BMD provides a computer interface that creates a marked paper ballot. The ballots are then counted by hand on election night at the polling place.

I have been using these programs for two years now since reading the big review here when I first joined DC. After the review, I decided that XFilesDialog suited me the best of the "Best in Class" choices. After a couple of years, I wanted to change because of a couple of annoying things about the program. Stuff like the annual subscription process when there are barely any updates. The program doesn't work with all programs, such as AutoCAD. It has an annoying splash screen that can't be disabled without a hacked workaround I got from here.
So, I decided to try out File-Ex. I thought this would be the ONE because it has a trainable wizard where if certain dialogs and programs don't work, they can be trained to work. WHile it's a fantastic idea, it doesn't work well at all. At least not for AutoCAD.
THen, I tried Direct FOlders (which I know there are a lot of complaints of here). I like the interface of Direct Folders out of all three. If they all worked as described, I would choose Direct Folders. But Direct Folders still doesn't work with AutoCAD. And Direct Folders seems to crash a lot.
So, what's the point here? In my opinion, none of these programs are best in class. They're all pretty good, but have some pretty major flaws. And it's not just because it doesn't work with AutoCAD. I bet the same is true for other programs that use a slightly modified version of the regular open/save dialogs.
Here's my summary:
XfilesDialog is good for it's stability and tweakability.
Direct FOlders has a great interface with the floating bar and genius double-click on an open space feature.
File-Ex had a great idea in the training wizard for unsupported apps (if it worked).

Are you scared to try a certain food?
I would love to try shell fish like clams, mussels, oysters but the horror stories rife with food poisoning keep me from trying them. Also they're expensive where I live so I don't want to order it and after one bite say that I really don't like it. Their imported so that's another issue about freshness. I have no idea what I'm expecting taste wise either.
I plan to muster up the courage to try them eventually, maybe I'll go it alone.
Is there any food that you are scared to try?

Relatives of Isabel Mercedes Celis, a 6-year-old girl who went missing from her Tucson, Ariz., bedroom over the weekend, say they will "never give up" in their efforts to track her down.
"We appreciate everyone's interest in finding our daughter, Isabel, and thank all the volunteers who have come out to search for her," the family said in a statement read by the Tucson Police Department.
"We are cooperating fully with authorities and are focused only on her safe return," the statement said. "We appreciate all your energy and efforts and continue to need the community's help. Please call the TPD if you have any information. We love Isabel and will never give up finding her. Thank you for all your support."
Tucson police searched the homes of a number of residences today close to where Isabel disappeared, including one home on the same street as the girl's house.
The search entered day three today with investigators combing a nearby landfill, canvassing the neighborhood interviewing residents, and examining evidence that FBI search dogs "hit" in the Celis family home.
Celis was reported missing by her father around 8 a.m. Saturday after Celis' mother left for work and her father went to wake her up. The child was not in her room, and a bedroom window was opened with the screen removed, Villasenor said.
The little girl was last seen around 11 p.m. Friday, when she was put to bed, he said.
Villasenor would not say which residences were searched today, after police obtained warrants for the case, but did acknowledge that more than 15 registered sex offenders live within a three mile radius of the family's home, including at least one who lives in the immediate vicinity.
Detectives have interviewed all of the offenders, he said.
The search for Celis intensified after two FBI search dogs hit upon something in the Celis family home overnight. Villasenor noted that there was a cadavaer dog and a scent dog used in the search.
"We have information we obtained from the dogs that has necessitated more follow-up investigation," Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor said today.
Police evacuated the Celis family from their home today following the dog search, which involved one cadaver dog and one scent-following dog, Villasenor said. They are treating the house as a crime scene.
Police have not ruled out the parents of the missing child as suspects.
"We are investigating all of the parties involved," he said today.
Investigators also continued to search a nearby landfill today where garbage was taken after being picked up at the Celis's home on Saturday, Villasenor said. Having police turn to a landfill for evidence of the girl was a grim turn in the investigation.
Celis' uncle, Justin Mastromarino, told ABC News that the girl's mother is devastated over the disappearance of her "sweet little girl."
"They're very upset right now, mother is beside herself. We're just trying to let police do their thing and get as much info as possible," said Mastromarino.
Mastromarino said her family is a loving one.
Ground and air searches for the girl will continue today. More than 250 people have helped search the area around the Celis' Tucson neighborhood this weekend, including canvassing neighbors to ask about any possible leads.

Full detailed profile on David Harper Played by Jay Pickett on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Jay Pickett (ABC)
Birthday: February 10 1961
Detective Harper and Lucky drag Jason, who had just arrived, into the interrogation room and ask if he showed up to help Johnny escape by bringing him the gun. Diane shows up and kicks the detective out of the room. Once alone, Jason tells Diane everything that he knows about Logan's death and that he came to the PCPD to try to help out, but he didn't give Johnny a gun.
Nadine is about to identify Jason when Carly walks in to the room and demands that they stop. She says Jason was with her the entire night and orders them to release him. The detective won't. Nadine pipes up that she didn't get a good enough look at the perpetrator to identify him but says she might recognize the sedan he was driving. Carly triumphantly says it can't be Jason because he doesn't drive a sedan. Carly barges in to Jason's questioning room and says he has nothing to worry about. Jason already knows that because he didn't kill Logan. Carly tells him about her plans for Kate and the problems she is creating for the woman. Jason says that isn't going to accomplish anything.
In the squad room, the detective tells Nadine they may need more from her later. The mayor walks in and demands to see Mac. Mac walks in and says he hasn't told Scott about the murder and he isn't going to say anything over ship-to-shore radio. The mayor wants Scott to know immediately - and he wants the case wrapped up immediately, too. Mac says Jason didn't kill anyone but he knows who did.
Lucky and Detective Harper are at the free clinic asking Nadine and Nik to recall everything they can about last night. Dr. Hunter arrives for work and is asked if he ever ran into Logan Hayes. Matt says that he met him once and he was arguing with Maxie Scorpio. "He was spoiling for a fight," he tells the detectives.
Nadine swings by the free clinic on her way home and talks with Nikolas. He's upset about the placebos that Dr. Hunter confirmed they were dispensing. She promises that they'll find a way to make it right. As they are looking over the paperwork, they hear tires screech and rush outside. Logan's body has been dumped on their doorstep! They call 911 and then face questioning by Lucky and Detective Harper. Nadine says that all she saw was a dark sedan with the license plate starting with ATJ.
Logan comes into The Metro Court lobby and meets Scott. He says that maybe it's time for them to get to know each other better. Scott is happy to hear it. He starts asking Logan what it's like being the Alcazar nurse, but Logan spots Johnny and rushes over to get in his face about Lulu. Johnny tells him that his father might need wiping soon and Logan punches him in the face. As the two guys fight, Scott calls for security. When Detective Harper arrives he insists that Johnny be arrested for assault.
Luke and Tracy are on The Haunted Star and Luke grumbles about what a slow night it is. Tracy is glad because that means less money to launder. She informs him that if business ever does pick up she'll call in an infectious disease warning about the place. Luke tells her that she looks radiant tonight and that he doesn't scare that easily. She playfully shows him that she's wearing the ring and he decides to send his staff home. He offers his wife to a new kind of challenge and she looks intrigued. With the click of a finger the blues start playing and the Spencers dance. Before they get through their first turn, Trevor comes in flashing a wad of bills and says he was ready to play some high stakes cards. Luke turns the music off and asks what they're playing for. Trevor says they can cut cards for the waterfront property. He says if Luke wins he'll hand over the deed and if he wins Lulu moves to Turkey far away from Johnny. Luke decides to go for it and ends up drawing a two of hearts. Before Trevor can gloat, Detective Harper and Lucky come in and arrest Luke for money laundering. Lucky tells Trevor that he's coming down to the station too. Trevor doesn't seem too worried.
Luke is brought into the PCPD in cuffs and Alexis approaches him right away. She asks how he let this happen and he tells her that he was framed. Tracy is busy with Mac trying to arrange bail but learns that the charges are federal so there won't be any bail. Ric shows up to represent Zacchara interests but tells Mac that his father can rot. Mac says at this point he has nothing to implicate the Zacchara family yet, but Luke made $50,000 in a few hours. Luke tries to chalk it up to lousy gamblers. Trevor is told he is free to go and Tracy gets in his face and spits, "I will hurt you in ways that don't even exist yet."
Luke is having a private poker game on The Haunted Star so that Sam can sit in and show her gambling prowess. As Sam rakes in the chips, Tracy shows up. She's upset to find Luke playing instead of working on his books and tells him that he is a waste of her energy. Luke pulls her aside and tells her that he's trying to meet her halfway and she tells him to get rid of the Zaccharas then. Detective Harper enters and tells them all that they are in violation of a court order.
Back at the crime scene, Detective Harper arrests Jason in spite of Spinelli and Maxie's protests. When Mac arrives, Maxie tells him everything, but Mac orders that Jason be taken into custody.

Clearly, picking up a parking ticket hasn't discouraged Kevin Bieksa from visiting to UBC. Last week, it was announced that he and his Buddies — a team that includes Jannik Hansen, Cory Schneider, Willie Mitchell and some other special guests — would be playing a charity game versus the UBC Thunderbirds on October 17th. Tickets went on sale Saturday morning, and because this market is absolutely starved for Canucks hockey, and because it's only a 5000-seat stadium, they were sold out by Saturday afternoon.
On Tuesday, Bieksa appeared on Global's Morning News to discuss the already sold-out event, the lockout and, in a surprise turn, do the weather. This might not come as much of a surprise to you, but Bieksa is a lot better at starting the breakout than he is at forecasting the week.Continue Reading —›
We've said it time and time again this season: Kevin Bieksa is a blogger's dream. Every single one of his interviews yields some sort of comedy gold, from animal nicknames to milk hot dogs to LMFAO references and beyond. But a recent interview he did with Mike Dunsmore of Fox Sports is the best thing he's ever given us.
You see, for the duration of the interview, Bieksa pretends to be Ryan Kesler. Dunsmore approached Bieksa after the Canucks' Game 4 win in Los Angeles, thinking that's who he was. And Bieksa, recognizing the gift-wrapped prank the moment he saw it, just went with it. What follows are 2:40 of fall off your chair hilarity.Continue Reading —›
Apart from the scoreboard reading 1-0 when the final horn sounded, there wasn't a single image in the Canucks and Kings Game 3 tilt quite as scary as a stunned Henrik Sedin weakly knocking at the bench door after being rocked by Dustin Brown.
It was a clean hit. Still, it was a huge hit that, as far as anyone knew at the time, had knocked Henrik out of the game and potentially the series. And thus, it necessitated a "response."
Ah, the rhetoric of the response. It seems to me that when hockey fans call for a response, they're hoping that the offending party will be beaten within an inch of his life but that he'll emerge from it with little more than a lesson learned, effectively deterred and uninjured.
From what I gather, public sentiment is that the response the Canucks mounted wasn't appropriate. This leads me to wonder what, exactly, Canuck fans wanted instead.Continue Reading —›
With the Canucks down 3-0 in their first round series against the Los Angeles Kings, fans are looking for something to distract them from their favourite team's playoff woes. Fortunately, these two fan videos for Kevin Bieksa and Ryan Kesler are plenty distracting.
Originally made back in May of 2011 for last year's run to the Stanley Cup Final, they somehow escaped our notice. I have no idea how we missed them first time around, because they are completely insane and awesome.Continue Reading —›
After a suffering a gruesome back injury in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, Mason Raymond began skating again just this past October. But skating wasn't the only strenuous activity he returned to in the early fall: around that same time, he also sired a firstborn.
The Raymonds are expecting their first child, a boy, in about a month, which means now is the time to be accruing as much knowledge as possible about their impending parenthood. With that in mind, the ever-helpful Derek Jory took to the Canucks' locker room to elicit some advice for the first-time father-to-be.Continue Reading —›
Kevin Bieksa and Zack Kassian were Saturday night's guests on After Hours, the interview segment of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada telecast that, under Scott Oake's watchful eye, touches briefly on hockey then hastily devolves into shenanigans. In Bieksa's case, between joining Twitter, the Bieksa family golf tournament, milk hot dogs, "Angry Bieksa", and the glove-throwing incident, that meant there was a lot of ground to cover. Seriously, Scott Oake could have just prepared for this interview by clicking the "Bieksa" tag on Pass it to Bulis.
Heck, he might have, since we got a whole lot of love during the segment. At 13:50 of the clip, the topic turned to Bieksa's Twitter account and the controversy over who deserves credit for convincing him to sign up for it. Was it Ryan Kesler, who no doubt has the inside track here, or was PITB's highly-persuasive and tightly-run "Twitter Needs Juice" campaign? Oake took the opportunity to do some serious investigative journalism on the matter.
Sadly, Bieksa dismissed our influence. "I don't succumb to peer pressure," he said. "It wasn't this Bulis guy. It was Kes that got me." Of course, then he claims that Kesler "got" him by promising fans the account would tweet once it had 10,000 followers. So, we're considered peer pressure, but 10,000 expectant fans isn't? Clearly, we have underestimated our power. Let it be known that Kevin Bieksa finds us threatening.Continue Reading —›
A weird thing happened over the weekend: Don Cherry, that great defender of toughness in hockey, actually called the Canucks tough. I'm not joking. It actually happened.
The main (and only) reason that this is significant is that Cherry is the king of the surface-level observation. He seems to look at something once, get an impression, and immediately have a take. If Cherry's first impression is that the Canucks are a tougher team and that "Boston's not going to push them around any more" that is a positive for the Canucks, because that means that other teams are getting that same impression. If "toughness" and "Canucks" can be put together in people's minds more often, that can only benefit the team.Continue Reading —›
Spitballin' (or Super Pass It To Bulis: All In, if you love adventurous acronymizing) is a feature that allows us to touch on a multitude of things really fast, because in the world of hockey, there are always lots of things to find and colour. Here are a few topics that deserve mention.Continue Reading —›
I can't be the only one that still remembers the Canucks' 2-1 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on January 20, 2009. You might recall: this was the game that drove Canuck fan Richard Beach to flip out, swear off the team in an angry letter, and cancel his cable. Granted, it was an overreaction, but the frustration he felt was understandable: in dire need of a rallying win after eight straight losses, the Canucks had been trapping their tails off, desperately hanging onto a lead against the superior Sharks for nearly the entire game.
Unfortunately, they couldn't hang on, and not long after Devin Setoguchi sent the game into overtime with a goal in the final minute, Patrick Marleau scored the game-winner.
If you remember that game, think back to the disappointment you felt and consider that Coloradans likely felt a similar disappointment after Kevin Bieksa's game-tying goal Saturday. The only thing more frustrating than being a Canuck fan for most of Saturday afternoon's win in Colorado? Being an Avalanche fan at the end of it.
You can really hear that frustration in the goal call by Colorado play-by-play announcer Mike Haynes.Continue Reading —›
One of the main reasons I appreciate the Vancouver Canucks so much is the work they do in the community. Whether it's large donations like those made by the Sedin twins to BC Children's hospital or helping to build a playground at a school in Burnaby, the Canucks are constantly and personally involved in charity work around the city of Vancouver and province of British Columbia.
On Tuesday, the team announced that the Canucks for Kids Fund (CFKF) is helping to launch Mindcheck.ca, a resource website to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness. The website will be part of the legacy of Rick Rypien, who passed away last August after a long struggle with depression.Continue Reading —›
Last postseason, Kevin Bieksa caught flack for dropping the gloves with San Jose Sharks' forward Patrick Marleau. Sure, Marleau initiated the fight in an ill-advised attempt to showcase his toughness and recently-questioned guts, but the mismatch was so evident that Bieksa was criticized just for acquiescing the request.
In retrospect, it was even more of a mismatch than we thought. As it turns out, Bieksa doesn't even need to throw punches to knock Marleau off his feet. He can do it with little more than a mighty exhalation.Continue Reading —›
There are plenty of reasons why the opposition might dislike Kevin Bieksa (the photo above, for instance, depicts him taunting the TD Garden crowd after the Canucks' recent win in Boston), but for local bloggers like ourselves, he's a godsend.
From his decision to join Twitter (as per our campaign) to the milk hot dogs thing to the disclosure of the Canucks' grand and hallowed tradition of animal nicknames, Juice has been feeding us gold all year long, and during a slow news cycle like the one we're currently experiencing, Bieksa's contributions are even more appreciated.
Our pal Derek Jory recently played Alex Haley to Bieksa's Malcolm X, collaborating on a custom mad lib that provides insight into many of Bieksa's running gags, as well as valuable hockey advice ("Wear a jock, but never pee in it") and thought-provoking handshake safety questions ("With so many diseases, should we adopt the 'head bow'?"). Be sure to Read Bieksa's full mad lib at Canucks.com, but let's take a look at some of the highlights.
Here's Bieksa and Jory on milk hot dogs (which 2012 is apparently the year of):Continue Reading —›
Anyone following the Canucks should know by now that even the most commonplace Kevin Bieksa interview can yield unexpected laughs, so it should come as no surprise that the Canucks D-man was able to light up the Twitterverse during a brief pregame chat with Dan Murphy Thursday.
When asked about the burgeoning rivalry with the San Jose Sharks, whom the Canucks defeated the night before, he said:
"We definitely have a rivalry with them that's kinda escalated a bit, and they've got a couple milk hot dogs on their team, and … *laughter* … it makes for some fun games though, that's for sure."
Yes. He said "Milk hot dogs".Continue Reading —›
For a while now, Kevin Bieksa has boasted a reputation as one of the best quotes in hockey. The man can respond to even the driest of questions with a hilarious one-liner. And if he gets a juicier question, well, there's a reason he's called Juice — he's right in his element.
So you had to know his appearance on 99.3 The Fox's Jeff O'Neill show was going to be appointment listening. Those guys couldn't care less about the game. They're only out to get him saying funny things.
Granted, I cringe every time O'Neill and Co. call Bieksa "Boom Boom", and I double-cringed when they tried to call his kids "Boombinos". But there's enough gold here to forgive them this trespass. The 10-minute interview is jam-packed with laugh-out loud moments.Continue Reading —›
If you're a female, chances are you've seen Dirty Dancing. Heck, if you're a male that's ever been in a relationship you wanted to maintain (or consummate), you've probably seen it too. That in mind, it stands to reason that both Kevin Bieksa and Jordin Tootoo have seen Dirty Dancing.
If you need more proof than that, I present the odd little photo above, in which the aforementioned pair awkwardly recreate the film's iconic lift from the final dance number.Continue Reading —›
Pass it to Comics is a biweekly collaboration between PITB and cartoonist Chloe Ezra. It will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the season. Today, after learning that Kevin Bieksa didn't get the nickname "Juice" from actual juice or his muscles , we begin to unravel the mystery.Continue Reading —›
To those looking for evidence to back up the claim that rivalries are made in the playoffs, look no further than the antagonism between the Canucks and the Blackhawks, who have faced each other in three consecutive postseasons.
No, there's no love lost between these two organizations.
It's no surprise. Good and evil have clashed since the dawn of time, and when one team is objectively good, such as the Canucks, and one team is objectively bad, such as the Blackhawks, acrimony is all but guaranteed.Continue Reading —›
It's very easy to look at the Canucks' 2-3-1 start and place a large portion of blame on their goaltender, Roberto Luongo. After all, his 3.70 GAA and .856 SV% places him near the bottom of the league. This is one of those cases, however, where the stats don't tell the whole story. The defensive breakdowns in front of the Canucks' goaltenders have been a major contributor to the Canucks' struggles so far and it's clear that the coaching staff is thinking the same thing.
The juggling of defence pairings has begun in earnest, as even last season's stalwart duo of Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa, or HamJuice as they're affectionately known, have been split up. The reasoning is simple: the Canucks just don't have enough right side defencemen.Continue Reading —›
One of the biggest events of the Canucks' off-season had nothing to do with a trade or a signing. Instead, it was Kevin Bieksa joining twitter after a long, PITB-led campaign. Bieksa's addition to Twitter immediately bore comedy fruit thanks to an over-sized boot in a Colorado airport.
After that, it was a bit of a slow start: while he took a shot at Luongo that was mildly amusing and let his feelings be known about all the boarding penalties being seen in the pre-season, there just wasn't the wit we were hoping for. Then this weekend, things turned around in a big way.Continue Reading —›
As most of you know, The Twitter Needs Juice campaign came to a fruitful end two nights ago, when Kevin Bieksa finally signed up for a Twitter account. Though his first tweet was contingent upon reaching 10,000 followers, Bieksa reached the milestone within 2 hours, and the following morning, it began.
Today we began to see the fruit of our labours, as Kesler and Bieksa combined to create a moment that was briefly amusing — which is, of course, all we ever wanted.Continue Reading —›
As many of you know, we at PITB have been actively campaigning to get Kevin Bieksa, one of the league's quippiest quote-machines, to join Twitter since mid-May. We made a convincing case, started a pathetic petition, commissioned campaign art, and even sent members of the mainstream media to press the Canucks' defensemen directly.
It appears to have paid off. Ladies and gentlemen: Twitter got juice.Continue Reading —›
Today in the every goal series, we look at Kevin Bieksa, the much-maligned Canuck defender who fought off trade rumours and two seasons of spotty play to re-win the hearts of Vancouver fans.
But make no mistake: Bieksa didn't quite return to form last season. Rather, he reinvented himself. Bieksa's 22 points were the same amount he put up the season prior, but he flourished in a new role as a shutdown defender, playing tough minutes with Dan Hamhuis.
That said, Kevin Bieksa can still score, and what you'll see in his six goals is a guy whose shot remains lethal, whose ability to jump into the rush is still very much in place, and who may very well be able to pick up some of the backend offense the Canucks lost when Christian Ehrhoff headed to Buffalo. Here's every goal Kevin Bieksa scored in 2010-11.Continue Reading —›
Sometimes, all it takes is a generous link from a blog with more traffic to remind us of how little power we actually have over here at PITB. Consider the Twitter Needs Juice post we made about a month and a half back: sure, some people read it, but not nearly as many people read it yesterday, after Derek Jory linked to it in his Juiceisms post over at Fort Nucks, the Canucks' official blog. We humbly acknowledge your superior readership, sir.
It's probably because Fort Nucks' official hockey team (the Vancouver Canucks) is a little more popular than ours (The Vancouver Wellwoods), although let's not sell the Wellwoods short. They've had a goalie captain for quite some time, and no one's ever suggested Morgan wasn't the right fit, which is more than I can say for Luongo.
Anyway, the best thing about the sudden bump is that people have finally begun sending in images of support for our silly little campaign.Continue Reading —›
Kevin Bieksa makes a mean "mean face". You've probably seen it. At some point, during the game, something rubs Juice the wrong way, and he flashes a trademark sneer, except sneer is too passive a description — it's more of a mental defenestration. With yesterday's announcement that the Canucks have re-signed Juice through 2016 (with a no-trade clause, for which he apologized to fans who will need to plug someone else into their rumours), it gives me great joy to say that pictures of Kevin Bieksa boiling with bubbling hate will be a staple in this city for the next five years. Here are five good ones, just to whet your appetite.Continue Reading —›
News broke yesterday that Kevin Bieksa and the Canucks had agreed on a long-term deal that would see the defenseman sticking with the team for the next five years. The people (a year removed from trading him out of town for Nikita Filatov) rejoiced.Funny how things change, huh?
Anyway. After the Canucks' non-disclosure policy bought them five quiet minutes to eat their lunches, the cap hit eventually leaked and, at $4.6 million a year, reactions varied.
Especially in light of that thing Bieksa said about taking less.Continue Reading —›

It's a rare woman who can pull off a signature look like, say, wearing all-white every day, but LisaRaye McCoy manages to do just that. McCoy, who stars on Single Ladies, mixes up her wardrobe to add color on the show when she plays Keisha Greene, but when she's out in public, she's usually rocking any shade of cloud, marshmallow, or snow she can find, and somehow she manages to look bold and distinctive every time. She has help of course, in the form of style expert Okera Banks, and Banks has offered to give us an inside look at how she dresses her white-hot star on red carpets and big events, including where she shops and how to get the star's looks for less. Get to know Okera Banks a little bit better below, and then check out our gallery of LisaRaye's most recent looks, which includes all of Banks' style tips and insider information.
Okera Banks has established herself as one of the leading costume designers and celebrity stylists in the industry. Possessing a body of work that ranges from TV, film, music and sports to red carpet appearances and photo shoots, Banks has cleverly grown her brand to include feature blockbuster films and national commercials to her credit.
When asked about her personal views regarding the fashion industry, Banks states "For me, style is all about what makes you feel comfortable, confident and sexy; whether you're on the set or on the red carpet." She also adds, "The key is in building trust with your client so that you're creating a look and designing an image that enhances their overall persona."
A native of Washington, D.C., but raised in Charleston, SC, the vivacious and personable Banks earned a dual degree in Fashion Design, Merchandising and Marketing from Clark Atlanta University. Prior to completing her education, her fashion ambition led her to New York to intern with Mirabella, a leading fashion publication. As an assistant fashion editor, Banks absorbed American and European fashion elements, which fed and sustained her interest in up and coming trends, leading fashion designers, textures, and accessories. Upon completing her studies, Banks relocated to Los Angeles and quickly became part of the trend setting fashion world. Her current work illustrates her versatility with clients that include Garcelle Beauvais, Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx, Robin Givens, LisaRaye McCoy, Niecy Nash, Chris Tucker and many more.

We're all experiencing rabid beauty madness over the impending arrival of the much anticipated Spring 2012 Meow Collection by Paul & Joe Cosmetics. I had the pleasure of getting a sneak peak at this kitti-rific range in New York last year and I can tell you there is some seriously cute makeup. In fact, the Paul & Joe Face and Eye Color Palette was just featured in the February edition of O, The Oprah Magazine! It's shown below in Kittycat, Purr-fect and Siamese Please. If you're a "cat" lady or just love and appreciate adorable packaging then this Meow Collection is well worth taking a peak at.
It's available for pre-order right now on b-glowing.com, however won't be shipped until February 1. I have a feeling these products won't last long so make sure you're one of the lucky ones! The Face and Eye Color Palette is in the shape of a cat and comes with three different colors per palette: A lighter shade for base, darker for contouring and then a highlighter on the cat's belly. So cute! If you take an extra peak you'll see that the cat's eyes are closed because when you rub a kitty's belly their eyes close with happiness! The Kitty Blusher Stick is my other favorite because one side has a carved out "cat in the hat" and the other is a smooth side. You gently apply three lines across your cheeks like a cat claw and then rub them together for the perfect blush application.

The staff at b-glowing.com all have our favorites spanning makeup, haircare, fragrance and more which is why we combined them all in our staff picks page! There's something about a staff pick that perks my attention just like when I'm at the video store and looking for suggestions. In beauty, many times we find new products through word of mouth so it was great to see that the Kitty Blusher Stick from Paul & Joe Cosmetics Spring 2012 Meow Collection made the staff picks in People magazines Style Watch! Beauty assistant Maddy Zollo loved the Paul & Joe Blush Stick because, "this cute cat-inspired blush adds some fun to your beauty routine." For only $28 this blush stick has a carved out cat-in-the-hat while the other side is smooth. Simply draw three lines with the smooth side across your cheek like a cat scratch and then blend! The Limited Edition Kitty

According to the Beauty Counter Blog on Style.com, "women the world over are letting out a collective purr" over the Kitty Blusher Sticks from the upcoming Paul & Joe Cosmetics Spring 2012 Meow Collection that will be dropping this February. The gorgeous floral print packaging the brand is known for still remains, but what has been added is a pop up "cat in the hat" as you turn the lipstick inspired blush stick. Even though I'm on "team dog" I can't help but be won over by the kitschy-kitty-cute Meow Collection. The Paul and Joe Kitty Blusher Sticks are a cream to powder formula that comes in three different wearable shades. Glamour Puss (a pearlescent beige, ideal for highlighting), Minou (classic rose) and Catfight is a bold coral. For only $28 each, you can choose what kitty to take home from the pet store! If you fell in love wiith Paul and Joe's Kitty Lipstick from last season you'll love this!

To radiate from within. To seem as if they're walking on water. To look glamorous whilst still capturing the natural beauty they were born with. The Golden Globe actresses last night simply took my breath away with many bringing back one of my favorite trends: ethereal beauty. Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara (ok, maybe she was channeling he dark side of ethereal), Heidi Klum, Elle Macphereson, Emma Stone rocked my fashion core. Channel and recreate the major beauty trends of the Golden Globe awards by following these steps:
First off ladies, it's all about the preparation. Unless you're divinely blessed which let's face it only a select few of us are then we have to work, work, work for perfection and that all comes down to taking care of our skin. I know it's not always a sexy topic, but at the end of the day prepping your skin with a mask or serum can really make your makeup ever better! If you don't trust me, then trust Hollywood because most of them swear by GLAMGLOW. Created in Hollywood, for Hollywood, and little people like you and me of course, the GLAMGLOW Mud Mask! Quickly becoming a b-glowing staff favorite, this miracle mask gently exfoliates your face with green tea leaves and miracle mud dredged from the exotic South of France will leave your skin glowing from the inside out.
Let's talk about the mane. Up-do's, french chignon, 60's beehive, or Elvira Adams straight, there was plenty to talk about in the hair style department. However, I'm a sucker for soft waves a la Elle Macpherson who look absolutely stunning last night in a gorgeous gown and her signature beach tousled hair. The woman doesn't look a day over 35! To recreate her soft romantic curls it's all in the tools baby and my favorite is T3's Single Pass Whirl Curling Wand. It has a tapered barrel to allow for a loose and distressed curl that doesn't look so darn perfect which is exactly what we want! With all of T3 hair styling tools, the heat chosen remains the same throughout the entire styling process which also cuts your hair prep time in half!

Ok I know Valentine's is kind of a cheesy holiday to celebrate but I love getting presents so I always have the, "But it's Valentine's" line on the backburner for my hubby. This chocolates and flowers holiday will be here in just a few weeks so I thought I'd give some great ideas for my fellow beauty junkie sisters who are a little bit underwhelmed by the classic gifts. Here are some must have beauty items that will make a perfect Valentine's....
Clarisonic Mia2
The latest addition to the Clarisonic family comes in pink or white and has been updated from the classic Mia by having two different speeds as well as a 60 second T-Timer to ensure you're cleasing for the required 60 seconds. This is a great one to give the male loved one in your life as well. Watch your skin change over the course of a few weeks due to it's powerful sonic cleansing that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Paul & Joe's Kitty Blusher Stick
I'm not even a cat lover but I can't help but get a little excited over Paul & Joe's Spring 2012 Meow Collection. The Kitty Blusher stick comes in three different shades and comes in lipstick style packaging and application. Turn the capsule and watch as a cat in the hat pops up to say hello! My personal fave is Minou because it's a gorgeous soft pink that I can wear everyday with any look.
Your wedding will be one of the most memorable moments in your life. From the dress to the decorations everything should be perfect and that includes your makeup. For my wedding five years ago I was so picky about not wanting to look like I had a pancake face that I ended up spending a butt load of money and doing it myself to make sure I looked like a more glamorous version of myself. If you don't plan on having a makeup artist then take a look at my picks below to create a beautiful makeup look for your wedding.
Firstly, the foundation is always one of the most important products as you want a formulation that is light and breathable. I always want my skin to be seen but perfected, not literally camoflaged and suffocating. The perfect foundation for this would be Jemma Kidd's Light As Air Foundation. This ultra-light product will provide a natural foundation for your skin along with a velvet feel and soft focus finish. Your skin will be left matte, without any shine for photos! This was also just featured in GOOP by Gwyneth Paltrow's makeup artist.
I don't always like to use a powder but for photos I think it's important to have just in case the nerves cause you to sweat and have more shine than usual. Paul & Joe's Kitty Matte Pressed Powder goes on effortlessly and feels weightless. Comes with a slightly darker shade for creating contour and a transluscent clear shade for a flawless shine free complexion. This line is also part of the Spring 2012 Meow Collection that is flying off the shelves!Read More »
It has certainly been a month for the kitty cats since the very popular launch of Paul & Joe's Tenth Anniversary Meow Collection. We can barely keep these products on our shelves due to public demand as well as all the magazine beauty editors that have fallen in love with this purr-fect range. The Face and Eye Color Palette was featured in Oprah's 'O' magazine and now the Paul & Joe Lipstick C in Sex Kitten has just graced the pages of Lucky. In the Beauty Spy section, the kitty lipstick was featured amongst others items that had a certain floral 'je ne sais quoi' about them. The beautiful paper packaing that surrounds the lipstick is on it's own a collectors item. In fact, many of the prints that are used on the makeup line are actually taken from the prints used on the latest Paul & Joe clothing seen on the runways! All three of the kitty lipsticks are gorgeous with Sex Kitten (nude beige), Meow (a natural pink) and Catwalk (a glamorous orange hue).
