Dr. Sidney B. Newman's Ratings
I don't know if he was having a bad day with my appointment, but he was NOT helpful. I came in because i had some acne on my jaw line that wouldn't go away. It was cystic but the rest of my face was fine. I also had scars from a bad facial. He said that the only way to get rid of it was to take acutane and that i needed laser treatment to remove the scars. I was mortified! My acne was definitely not that bad for all of that. I ended up switching my BC to one that helps acne and it all went away. I also got some bleaching cream from another dermatologist and now my scars are gone. I don't know what he was thinking that day but I will never go to him again.

My son went to Dr. Newman in the spring for skin cancer. I went back with him for a follow-up and to become a patient also. I was very impressed with his clinical skills, patience and his ability to relate to patients of different ages. I have been a practicing RN for over 30 years and can say that Dr. Newman is a class all by himself! His staff was all very competent and pleasant. I will continue to see Dr. Newman even though I live 3 hours away. Thanks again, Lisa Geduld, RN

I took my son to Dr.Newman,we both LOVED him! He's knowledgeable, funny, interesting,kind and knew exactly how to relate to my 16 year old. I wish he was a GP, so I could have him treat my whole family. And maybe some of his wonderful energy would rub off on us! Also, we did not wait, Dr.Newman was right on time, but if we had waited an hour it would have been OK with us. Dr. Newman is worth the wait! He makes you feel like you are his only patient!

I wish Dr. Newman was a GP because I would not hesitate to see him for all medical needs. He has personality plus, extremely helpful, and ALWAYS gives you 100%. Calls, personally, with biopsy results and seems to thoroughly enjoy his work. A WONDERFUL, CARING DOCTOR...these days, hard to find!

Awesome dermatologist. Very energetic, personable, funny, and engaging. He calls personally with results, and when he prescribed a cream for my husband, and we had concerns about him wearing it around our newborn son, on two separate occasions, he was kind enough to call me to speak about it. I highly recommend him.

Bad Breath SlangThursday, April 30th, 2009
We all know what bad breath (halitosis) is, but do you know some of the slang phrases used to describe it? If you don't, you're in the right place. Now, you don't have to blurt out that someone has bad breath; you can now use one of these phrases to keep yourself off the radar.
Some phrases that mean that someone has bad breath:
1) Melting the moustache
2) Farting topside
3) Leaking some limburger
4) Polluting the local environment
5) Exploring the limits of personal space with every exhalation
6) Dementor (from Harry Potter)
7) Farthead
8) Burning tires on their tongue
These remarks are more subtle than something like "Suzie has bad breath!" You can now be savvy in bad breath slang, so if you hear someone saying these phrases around you, it might be a good idea to pop in a piece of gum just in case. So, if you don't want to tell someone that he/she has bad breath directly, you have a few options. You can use these new funky phrases to other people in the hopes that someone will eventually make it apparent to the original person with offensive breath, without having the burden on your shoulders. Brilliant, isn't it?
Lastly, don't forget, you can always email them anonymously on our site with a virtual breath mint. A virtual breath mint is an e-mail you can send someone to let them know they have bad breath…and best of all, it's ANONYMOUS! Just click HERE.

Latest on Pitching Market: Rays, Orioles shopping their starters
The chances are increasing that the Rays deal one of David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, or James Shields (CBS Sports).
The Orioles could be interested in dealing a starting pitcher for a power hitter (MASN).
Despite Ricky Nolasco's trade demands, the Marlins say they're not trading him (ESPN).
The Angels are interested in Edwin Jackson as a fallback to Zack Greinke (CBS Sports).
Ryan Dempster is seeking a three-year deal, but has drawn interest from the Diamondbacks, Brewers, and Twins (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
The Mariners are looking to keep Felix Hernandez in Seattle for the rest of his career (CBS Sports).
Michael Baron, ContributorIt's important to watch what the Rays and Orioles do, as they seek offense for starting pitching. If they strike a deal before the Mets decide what they're doing with R.A. Dickey and Jon Niese, that can have implications on their return. Depending on how the market defines itself in those deals can determine whether or not the Mets can get what they seek in a trade for their arms.

NME Artists
The Libertines
The Libertines are one of the most exciting, chaotic rock'n'roll groups of the past 20 years. Despite only releasing two studio albums, 2002's debut 'Up The Bracket' and 2004's 'The Libertines', they have a legacy as one of the most inspiring and influential British bands of the 21st century. They recently reformed after a four-year hiatus to headline London's British Summertime series in Hyde Park. Co-frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat met while both studying in London: Doherty was an English Literature student at Queen Mary's while Barat was a Drama undergraduate at Brunel. The pair struck up a friendship based on a shared love of old books and music, and quickly developed their shared vision of Albion - a mythological utopia of old Britain based on influences such as Tony Hancock, William Blake and Siegfried Sassoon. They soon recruited John Hassal (bass) and Gary Powell (drums) to join their band and signed a deal with Rough Trade Records in 2001. Their debut single 'What A Water' was produced by Suede bassist Bernard Butler and released in June 2002. The track was enough for them to be crowned as Britain's best new band by NME, and they released their first album 'Up The Bracket' in 2002 with Clash legend Mick Jones taking over production duties. The album debuted at Number 35 in the UK Albums Chart. Despite their success, Doherty's drug use and dependence on crack cocaine and heroin led to the break-down of his relationship with his bandmates. Their non-album single 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun' was a commercial hit, charting at Number 11, but tensions arose again when Barat told Doherty he would be unable to continue playing with the band unless he sought help for his drug problems. Doherty performed with his side-project Babyshambles rather than joining The Libertines on their tour of Japan, and then burgled Barat's flat out of revenge. He was sentenced to six months in Wandsworth Prison for the offence. When Doherty was released in October 2003, however, Barat greeted him outside of the prison and The Libertines played an emotional, intimate return gig in Kent the same evening. The band, who won NME's Best Band gong at the NME Awards 2004, began work on their second studio album but sessions were plagued by more in-fighting: security had to be hired to keep Doherty and Barat from brawing. The band released 'The Libertines' in August 2004, scoring them their first UK Number One album, but Doherty left shortly afterwards and Barat dissolved the band as he was unwilling to continue without his co-frontman. Doherty continued to work with Babyshambles and also released a solo album, 'Grace/Wastlands', in 2009. Barat, meanwhile, formed the band Dirty Pretty Things with Powell, guitarist Anthony Rossamando and former Cooper Temple Clause bassist Didz Hammond. In 2010, The Libertines reformed for a series of headline shows including slots at Reading And Leeds Festivals. Earlier this year, meanwhile, the band reformed for a much-publicised gig at London's British Summertime Hyde Park. They are now believed to be working on a new studio album - their first in over a decade - in time for a 2015 release.Show More

HEUVELTON - Junior guard Hunter Hitchman drove to the basket, dished off assists and converted some unbalanced shots on Wednesday en rout to a 42-point effort for Clifton-Fine in a 76-71 overtime win at Heuvelton in NAC West Division play.
Hitchman hit six threes and went 8-for-12 at the line while collecting seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals.
Hunter really took the game into her own hands tonight. She scored 10 of our 12 in overtime and Heuvelton really played good defense on her with Alexis Weidner and Logan Tallman. This was a big for us on the road. Heuvelton is a good team and I know we havent seen the last of them, said C-F coach Rick Hitchman whose team improved to 13-3 overall, 9-3 in West Division play with games against Edwards-Knox and Hammond remaining.
Morgan Skeldon pulled down 13 second-half rebounds and 20 in the contest to help her score 23 points. She also had four blocks, two steals, and two assists. Delaney Kerr added six points, 12 rebounds, two steals and two assists while Alexis Pomerville supplied five rebounds, six rebounds, four blocks, four steals and two assists. Ali Hitchman chipped in four steals, three rebounds and three assists.
For Heuvelton (12-5, 10-3), which plays Hammond tonight, Maddie St. Pierre tallied 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Olivia St. Pierre tallied 16 points and seven boards. Alexis Weidner chipped in 16 points, four rebounds, two steals, and two assists. Hannah Thornhill had four assists while Logan Tallman chipped in three steals, three rebounds and three points.
We didnt play with a lot of composure in the first half but we did in the second half. Hunter (Hitchman) just took over the game especially in overtime, said Heuvelton coach Rob Powers.
In other action, Edwards-Knox earned its second win of the season denying Morristown 54-33.
Edwards-Knox 54, Morristown 33: Kali Sharpstene tossed in three three-pointers and went 7-10 from the foulline enroute to a 20 point performance leading the Cougars who broke open a 20-13 halftime lead with a 19-4 third quarter. Katie Smith added 17 points.
Jordyn Tulley paced Morristown with 12 points. Karissa Bertrand netted seven while Erica Baldwin added six.
C-P 35, SRF 21: Andrea Aldous netted a game-high 14 points as the Lady Colts broke away from a 15-15 tie after three quarters with a 20-6 fourth-quarter outburst to come away with the win. Morgan Doyle added eight points. Brittany Rondeau netted 11 points in the losing cause.
Salmon River 65, Parishville-Hopkinton 34: The Shamrocks improved to 13-4 on the season. The Panthers fell to 2-11.
RANKING NOTE: The depth of Section 10 Class D basketball is recognized is weeks state rankings. In Class D Hammond (15-1) stands sixth, Madrid-Waddington (15-1) 12th, Chateaugay (14th) 13th and Clifton-Fine (13-3) and Heuvelton (12-5) are tied for 20th.

The DPPIV-Glo™ Protease Assay is a homogeneous, luminescent assay that measures dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) activity. The DPPIV-Glo™ Protease Assay provides a proluminescent DPPIV substrate, Gly-Pro-aminoluciferin, in a buffer system optimized for DPPIV and luciferase activities. Addition of a single DPPIV-Glo™ Reagent in an "add-mix-measure" format results in DPPIV cleavage of the substrate and generation of a "glow-type" luminescent signal produced by the luciferase reaction. In this coupled-enzyme format, the signal is proportional to the amount of DPPIV activity present.

Gasoline prices in California have escalated to record highs, spiking 50 cents a gallon in a week and prompting Governor Jerry Brown to advocate laxer smog rules so oil refineries can boost supplies of less expensive fuel blends. Regular gasoline in the state has soared to an average of $4.67 a gallon, a staggering 22 percent higher than the national average, according to AAA's nationwide fuel price survey.
The average price of gas in California lingered at $4.17 a gallon on October 1, but has boosted every day since, with the worst increase being a 17-cent hike on Friday — placing it over $1 a gallon higher than in a dozen other states. Many gas stations are displaying prices seen nowhere else in the country, including those in the Big Sur area featuring prices as high as $5.89 a gallon.
With the gas crisis has come widespread cases of criminal activity, as police departments scramble to catch thieves who steal fuel from gas stations and other business, such as car and truck rental agencies. In Roseville, a town in metro Sacramento, thieves targeted two stations, peeling out with nearly 1,000 gallons of the increasingly expensive fuel.
James Hamilton of Econbrowser asserts that the turbulent rise in gas prices is prompted largely by two culprits, a lack of pipeline capacity and the state's overly burdensome standards on air quality:
The Chevron refinery in Richmond (across the bay from San Francisco) has a normal capacity of 243,000 barrels per day, or 8.5% of the total petroleum products supplied to Petroleum Administration for Defense District 5, of which California is a part. But a fire at the Richmond refinery in August has significantly reduced its production.
The Kettleman-Los Medanos pipeline, which carries 85,000 barrels per day of crude oil to the San Francisco Bay Area, has been closed since mid-September due to organic chloride contamination. And on Monday, a power outage shut down ExxonMobil's 149,000-barrel-per-day Torrance refinery in L.A.
Two factors allow the price in California to spike much higher than the rest of the country. First, a different blend is required to meet California air quality standards. Second, there is little pipeline capacity to bring in refined product from elsewhere.

Not too long ago (or so we'd like to think), fall meant a back-to-school shopping spree. But nowadays, instead of stocking up on binders, notebooks, and pencil cases, we're saving up for far more stylish items on our list, all inspired by the F/W 12 runways! From a luxe double-breasted peacoat to a standout necklace, check out the WWW Picks that made the grade this season.Get The Look
1. Elizabeth and James Jackson Peacoat ($695) in Ivory
When it comes to outerwear, pick a double-breasted peacoat that's both luxe and flattering, like Elizabeth and James' fur-trimmed jacket. Create a sleek work ensemble by teaming it with a turtleneck and pencil skirt.
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Thunder Travel Leather Satchel ($528)
It's official: the doctor is in! A slouchy purse may have been the "it" bag for spring and summer, but fall's all about structure. While we love the glossy sheen of Prada's Satin Embellished Bag ($3900), Marc by Marc Jacobs' textured leather version does the trick too. This doctor's bag even comes in the hottest color of the season, a rich bordeaux.
3. Maje Romane Black Dress ($425)
After we spotted Stella McCartney's Embroidered Viscose Cady Dress ($3770) on the runway, we were inspired to find another take on the season's new dress silhouette--long sleeves and a fluted hem. Maje's silky black number is a versatile option: while a rounded collar gives it polish, the fluted hem is on-point for fall and flirty enough to take the dress to cocktail hour.
4. Lancome L'Absolu Nu Replenishing and Enhancing Lip Color ($29.50) in Prune Mantille
Lancome's wine-colored lipstick possesses a unique ingredient, mother-of-pearl, that gives the formula a sparkly, light-boosting effect!
5. Juicy Couture Breast Plate Necklace ($118)
When it comes to accessories this season, go for something memorable! Juicy Couture's studded resin plate necklace is a stylish companion to solid-colored shirts that need a little more pizzazz.
6. Mulberry Tiger-Intarsia Angora-Blend Sweater ($670)
Cozy sweaters are one of our favorite fall must-buys. Altuzarra's Naples Horse Dolman Sweater ($895) is a literal interpretation of the season's equestrian-inspired trend, but if your animal instincts are of the feline variety, try Mulberry's quirky twin tiger rendition! It's the kind of off-duty jumper we'd wear with had-'em-forever jeans and ballet flats.
7. Guess by Marciano The Skinny Leatherette Jean No. 68 ($178) in Red Leather Coating
Oxblood leather was all over the F/W 12 runways; we particularly loved how Isabel Marant's cropped skinnies punched up a classic black coat and lacy top. If you want to get the look of leather without breaking the bank, Guess by Marciano's jeans are your best bet. Finished in a slick leather-like coating, they work well for a GNO paired with a white t-shirt and chunky jewelry.
8. Pierre Hardy Black and White Watersnake Lace-Up Booties ($1325, 646.449.0070)
Continue last season's athletic-inspired trend with Pierre Hardy's lace-up high heels. Wear them with slim, cropped pants to show off the snake print and sporty detail.--Tiffany Tse

Mets have not received any bites on Johan Santana
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe says the Mets have not received any "bites" on Johan Santana so far this winter.
Michael Baron, ContributorBetween his buyout and salary, the Mets owe Santana $31 million next season. That, along with his full no-trade clause, a seriously questionable shoulder and ability to withstand a full season have to be keeping teams away. I would expect the Mets to put feelers out there for Santana, but I have little doubt he will be with the Mets next season.
The funny thing is, we as fans tend to harp on the negative impact Santana is having on this team. Yes, his salary is brutal, but he did accomplish a lot in 2012 and threw a no-hitter in between. Based on that, his athleticism, competitiveness and determination, I think there is hope Santana can still contribute at a high level next season. Hopefully the extra rest (Terry Collins said in August he would not throw between the date he went on the DL and sometime in January) and a normal winter routine will benefit Santana which will enable him to withstand an entire season in 2013.
Previous updates on Johan Santana...
Stats: Santana went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA in 21 starts this season. After his no-hitter on June 1, Santana went 3-7 with a 8.27 ERA over his final ten starts, and averaged just under five innings per start over that span. He lost his last five starts and had a 15.63 ERA in only 19 innings over that span – he was placed on the disabled list on August 22 (retroactive to August 18) after an MRI showed inflammation in his lower back and will not pitch again this season.
Contract: Santana is entering the final year of a six-year, $137.5 million contract he signed with the Mets before the 2008 season. Santana will earn $25.5 million in 2013 and the team holds a $25 million option on Santana for 2014 – they can opt to buy the option out for $5.5 million and make Santana a free agent after next season.

Some would argue that perfecting and presenting the perfect cup of coffee is an intricate art. These same people might also argue that the only way to work the grinds correctly, without involving an elaborate piece of equipment, is by using reliable coffee presses during the process. Coffee presses may be intimidating, but they're not difficult to master and really help to create an exceptional cup of joe with full flavor and body. Having a few in your cupboards at home or as part of your commercial kitchen kit is a great way to offer up something special.

#1 "World's Best River Cruise Line" in
2013 Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards
Grand Circle Cruise Line has been ranked—for the second consecutive year—the top river cruise line in Condé Nast Traveler's annual survey of the world's best cities, hotels, airlines, cruise lines and more. In addition to these back-to-back #1 rankings, this is the ninth year in a row we've ranked among the world's best. Click here to read our official press release.
The Readers' Choice Awards ask travelers to rate their experiences based on ships' activities/facilities, crew/service, design/layout, food/dining, itineraries/schedule, and shore excursions.
It's that direct feedback from travelers that makes all of us at Grand Circle—from our Boston headquarters to more than 30 regional offices around the world—so honored to receive this recognition.
We see this as confirmation that Grand Circle delivers an unrivaled combination of the best experience at the best value. Our river and small ship cruise itineraries allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture through personal encounters with the residents who call each region home—and you'll pay $50 to $500 less per day than you would with other major small ship travel companies. Plus, on each of our privately owned vessels, our highly trained, English-speaking staff is there around the clock to ensure you enjoy a carefree journey.
See below to learn about why our travelers have chosen our River Cruise vacations in 2013—and click here to find the right Grand Circle trip for you. We invite you to call us toll-free at 1-800-221-2610 today to join us aboard the world's waterways.
This was a great trip. One of the first things I noticed was the number of people who had traveled with Grand Circle before. This was the first clue to the kind of company I was traveling with. The ship and the crew was all so friendly and so eager to your every need. I have never felt so pampered in my life.

I love you too.

That's wierd but I would love to have an gas mask
wow looks awesome
A flamenco dancer ate Kim Kardashian!
Mealy is a walking caricature. Hope she gets it together on the image she wishes to present because this one says "I TRY WAY TOO HARD". A very pretty girl, with some talent, if she can learn to project class instead of trash.
Does Bieber wear a gas mask because his act stinks?
MIU MIU meets EUW EUW. Clearly her stylist hates her and was under the influence at the time she chose this disaster for her.
I appreciate this dress, but I do not really like it. The shades take a position out against the dark, but it seems a bit off somehow. I like the style, but I am not in really like with along with taste.
I would HATE to be the stylist responsible for the dress, more then I would have being the celebrity. It wouldn't be a career ender to wear a bad dress, but it might be if you dressed them
Why when Lala wears this kind of dress she's one of the worst dressed but when Lady Gaga does it she is considered stylish and trend-setter?
Drag Queen Beyonce should top the list.
That's true well I think so

In the latest edition of Quaker Journeys, we sat down with Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry to his development from an all-sport athlete in Cincinnati, to a focus on the beautiful game at the University of Louisville to becoming the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year with the Chicago Fire.
Be sure to check out our previous Quaker Journey with Patrick Nyarko (Part 1 and Part 2).
In this edition of Burning Questions we caught up with Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson. In his third season with the Men in Red, Johnson posted career-high numbers. In 31 regular season games, Sean went 16-10-5, had five shutouts and recorded a career-low 1.24 goals against average. The Lilburn, Ga. native made 108 saves in 2012, including a career-high ten saves against the Earthquakes July 28.
Sean's play caught the eye of U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who recently called the Fire 'keeper in for a friendly against Russia on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 9:00 a.m. CT (ESPN2/ESPN3/Univision Deportes). Before heading east, Sean took the time to answer our burning questions about his prowess on the dance floor, his favorite Thanksgiving dish and which teammates he'd pick for a MLS basketball tournament.
Always on the Inside: There's another elite athlete with the same name as you, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, who was a "Dancing With the Stars" champion. Are you a good dancer and how do you think you'd do on the show?
Sean Johnson: I'd be fantastic. My dance moves are nice. I'm pretty sure I've been compared to Chris Brown.
AOTI: What's your favorite Thanksgiving food or tradition?
SJ: My mom makes a green bean casserole that is unbelievable.
AOTI: You lettered in basketball for three years at Brookwood High School. Can you still ball? Which of your current teammates would you choose if there is a MLS pickup basketball tournament?
SJ: Call me the Black Mamba. My starting five would be point guard, Corben [Bone]. Two guard, [Dan] Gargan. Three guard, we'll go Jalil [Anibaba]. I'd play the fourth spot, and maybe Austin [Berry] could play the five. Cory [Gibbs] can be the sixth man off the bench and [Soccer Operations Coordinator] Alex Boler could be the coach.
AOTI: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
SJ: I'd be able to fly.
AOTI: You're one of the best table tennis and FIFA players on the Fire roster. What's one random thing youwant to work on so that you can best your teammates?
Jalil Anibaba: He's No. 1 at everything.
SJ: I am THE best FIFA player on the team. In life my goal is to be No. 1 at everything I do.
AOTI: Main difference between Georgians and Chicagoans?
SJ: The pace of which they move. Chicago is so fast-paced that I feel like I'm being rushed by people in the city.
AOTI: Who plays you in the Sean Johnson movie?
SJ: Denzel Washington.
AOTI: What was the last movie you watched in theaters? And if you're in a crowded theater, which armrests are yours?
SJ: The last movie I watched was "Argo." And both armrests are mine.
Over the summer, we presented 15 Memorable Games and Goals from the club's first 15 seasons. We also asked you the fans who the top 15 players in club history were.
To be clear, you won't see numbers ranking the players. That's because this isn't a countdown but rather a series to honor 15 great players in Fire history.
In the previous four episodes of the #Fire15 presented by TrueCar, we've honored Chris Armas, DaMarcus Beasley, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Carlos Bocanegra, Lubos Kubik, Jesse Marsch, Brian McBride, Logan Pause, Marco Pappa, Ante Razov, Chris Rolfe and Zach Thornton.
Today, three Ring of Fire inductees round out the list… The final three players are Frank Klopas, C.J. Brown and Peter Nowak.
Frank Klopas – Mr. Chicago. With eight goals and five assists across 50 games, it wasn't stats but rather the heart and commitment Frank showed that got him on this list. Maybe that winner in the '98 Open Cup final helped a bit too.
As Len Ziehm says in the video, the Fire needed someone local to help the new franchise make a connection to the city. Fans that remembered "Kid Klopas" from Chicago Sting in the 1980's were reinvigorated by the reappearance of the city's iconic soccer son in the club's inaugural 1998 season.
More than that, there's no player that has ever bled Chicago the way Klopas did in his two seasons playing for the Fire. Returning to the club as Technical Director in 2008 and now as head coach, Frank has served to remind the current crop of what it means every time they put on the shirt.
C.J. Brown – There are few players quite as deserving of being honored on such a list as C.J. Brown. The club's all-time appearance leader at 372, Brown is one of only three Fire players to be part of all six domestic titles and was the last connection in the locker room to the 1998 double-winning team.
Learning from the likes of Peter Nowak, Lubos Kubik and Chris Armas, the 1998 season helped guide the rest of his 13-year career, carrying on and passing down the same characteristics of hard work, competitiveness and integrity to young Fire players through the years.
As I say in the video, the former Fire captain was never flashy. He played hard, he picked up cards but he was the constant rock at the back. His legacy is still carried on in the Fire locker room today.
Peter Nowak – Often mentioned as the best player to ever wear the badge, Peter Nowak set the bar as high as it could go during his five seasons with the Fire.
Nowak joined Kubik, and fellow veteran Poles Jerzy Podbrozny and Roman Kosecki as a large core of the original Fire team, captaining the side to the 1998 double and winning MLS Cup MVP honors in the process.
Having played 147 competitive matches, the first signing in Chicago Fire history tallied 29 goals and retains the Fire record for assists across all competitions (60) and in MLS play (48).
At least 11 of the #Fire15 will be present at either Wednesday night's 15th Anniversary Match vs. Philadelphia or the October 8th Anniversary Party at the Chicago History Museum.

In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with forward Sherjill MacDonald. Since joining the Fire on July 24, the Dutch striker has scored two goals and tallied three assists, helping set up a battle for first place against Sporting Kansas City on Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. CT on the NBC Sports Network. Sherjill took the time to answer our Burning Questions about how he spends his time in Chicago, the difference between European and American fashion and just how many people mispronounce his name.
Always on the Inside: You've been in Chicago now for a few months. How are you liking it?
Sherjill MacDonald: I love it. I love the restaurants; my favorite of the moment is an Italian restaurant called Scoozi! It's close to my house so I go there a lot. I've been to the Hancock Center and eaten upstairs on the 95th floor, so that was fantastic. I have an apartment in River North. I love it. It's a quiet neighborhood, it's nice for dogs, so I like to walk the dog. It seems like a dog-friendly neighborhood.
WATCH: MacDonald equalizes vs. Montreal
AOTI: What kind of dog do you have?
SM: She is a Chihuahua mixed with a French Bulldog. Her name is Nala, from the Lion King.
AOTI: You're pretty active on Twitter. What do you like about it?
SM: I like to talk to the fans. The last game I traded a fan that had made a banner for me with a jersey, so I like to do those kind of things. Sometimes I give away shoes to the fans; it helps to keep in touch with the fans.
AOTI: You're a pretty stylish guy. What is the main difference between European and American fashion style?
SM: I've noticed that everybody wears running shoes, like downtown, so now I also do it. I think it's an American thing because the distances are a little bit further. I've sometimes seen people wear suits with running shoes. It's a lot of people.
AOTI: Who do you think are the best and worst dressed guys on the team?
SM: I like everybody's style. It's difficult to see in football because when you come to training, you dress comfortably.
Editor's Note: During the interview, Daniel Paladini declared that Hunter Jumper was the worst dressed player on the team because he favors Polo Ralph Lauren. This editor does not agree with the views and statements of Daniel Paladini.
AOTI: What percentage of people in Chicago mispronounce your name and what's the worst pronunciation you've heard?
SM: I think 80-85 percent. The worst I've heard is "Sheryl," like the girls name.
AOTI: What do you like to do on a typical day off?
SM: Normal things. I like to go into the city with my girlfriend, do a little shopping. I like to walk the dog. Sometimes we stay outside for two hours walking the dog, especially when there is good weather. We like to enjoy the weather.
I also watch all kinds of television series and all kinds of movies. I watch a lot of movies; sometimes I watch like five movies a day. I'm a movie freak. "Gladiator" is one of my favorites.
AOTI: Who is your roommate on the road?
SM: Last time it was Wells Thompson. He's a very good roommate. He sleeps very early but it's good for me. It was a good example for me so I also sleep early. He's a nice guy, a very gentle guy so I like him.
AOTI: One of the things that has helped endear you to fans is your passion on the field. Is your on-field persona similar to your off-field persona?
SM: Off the field I'm not emotional, not the same as on the field but sometimes I have to keep my emotions more to myself. I just have to control them sometimes on the pitch. I'm working on it; some people like it, some people don't like it. Personally I don't like it. I have to be more focused.
AOTI: FIFA 13 was recently released. Which team and difficulty level do you usually use? If we had a team FIFA 13 tournament, where would you rank?
SM: I love FIFA. I'm going to get it. I play with Chelsea on the highest difficulty level. I think I would be maybe first or second on the team. Sean [Johnson] would maybe be first. Sean is very good.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with defender Jalil Anibaba. Now in his second season with the Fire, Jalil has put together a solid sophomore season, starting 26 of his 27 appearances. An integral part of a solid Fire defense, he has also contributed on the offensive side, scoring one goal and adding one assist. A native of Davis, Calif., Jalil was selected ninth overall in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Jalil took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his hidden talents, his favorite birthday memory and what it's like to own canaries.
Always on the Inside: You were named the Gatorade California Player of the Year for Soccer in 2006-07. What's your favorite Gatorade flavor?
Jalil Anibaba: Probably Glacier Freeze. Light blue.
AOTI: What is the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
JA: Probably a song of myself. I wouldn't say I sing a lot but it's a hobby of mine.
AOTI: Are you going to make us a mix tape?
JA: No. Definitely not. That's why it's one of the most embarrassing things on my iPod.
AOTI: Who plays Jalil Anibaba in the Jalil Anibaba movie?
JA: Probably one of my brothers because they know me so well, they'd be able to portray my character in the best light.
AOTI: Your brother Jammil and yourself look remarkably alike. How often do people confuse the two of you and have you ever used your similar looks to trick people?
JA: We've never used our similar looks to deceive people on purpose. In Chicago we get confused for each other pretty often. It happens a lot up in the Stadium Club after games but it's great having my brother here for support. It's awesome.
AOTI: Your birthday, which is on October 19, is almost exactly one month away. What's your favorite birthday memory?
JA: I would say being back in Davis when I was younger, in my teenage years and before that. My birthdays were always special because they were times when the whole family was together. My grandmother would always come and make my favorite cake, Lemon Pound Cake. We would just have dinner together, so they were great times and great experiences.
AOTI: Last year you put together a very solid rookie season, starting 27 of 29 matches and registering three goals (one of which became the team's Goal of the Year) and one assist. This year the Fire have another rookie defender, Austin Berry, who is putting together similar numbers. Do you consider him your protégé and have you ever called him Jalil Jr.? What do you think of him following in your footsteps?
JA: No, I definitely don't think of Austin as a Jalil protégé. Simply because I'm still a young player and I'm still trying to prove myself day in and day out. I think Austin has done a tremendous job learning on the curve, and that's part of being a rookie. His future is definitely bright.
AOTI: What's a typical day like in the life of Jalil Anibaba?
JA: I wake up for training, come to the stadium in the morning, and put in my day's work as far as my profession is concerned.
Once I leave the stadium, the day is pretty slow. I like to get a nap in after training and then pretty much after the nap, it's all about getting ready for the next day, so eating well, resting, watching either a movie or a couple of TV shows and just being ready for the next day.
AOTI: What TV shows do you like?
JA: There are a couple series that I've been intrigued with lately. I'm happy that season five of "Sons of Anarchy" started again; that's one of my top choices. I was into "Damages" but that show is done now. I'm a big fan of "Suits." With time on my hands I like to indulge in different TV series to entertain myself.
Reality TV is something that me and my brother and some of my friends like to get into. We watch "Love & Hip Hop" and "The Voice" to keep things light hearted."
AOTI: Do you have any hidden talents?
JA: When I was young I used to skateboard and I used to yo-yo. I'm a little rusty but maybe I could still do some tricks.
AOTI: Your dad raises canaries. What's the most interesting thing about canaries?
JA: What's interesting about them is that the males sing, and they sing beautifully. If you're ever to come to my house back in Davis, you'll definitely hear birds singing, and it's a great, great sound.
Have you ever wondered what your favorite Fire players are like off the pitch? Well, we aim to please here at Always on the Inside. Each week we are going to sit down with a different player to get answers to those pesky Burning Questions.
It seemed appropriate to focus the first installment on a rookie, so we sat down with defender Hunter Jumper. A native of Plano, Texas, Hunter was selected 28th overall in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Virginia. Hunter was kind enough to answer our Burning Questions regarding talking trash, which Olympic sport he would take on, his celebrity crush and how to get the ladies, Hunter Jumper style.
Always on the Inside: We just endured a brutally hot July. How is your farmer's tan coming along?
Hunter Jumper: It's actually quite absurd because we've been training in sleeveless shirts. If I wear a tank top or anything else, I still have a white spot on my chest. My arms are super tan and my body is just pale, Alaskan white, so it's quite the farmer's tan.
AOTI: The UVA Men's Soccer schedule was recently released. Your Cavaliers face six teams for which some of your current teammates featured (Georgetown, Duke, UNC, VCU, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech). Are you planning on talking trash?
HJ: I'm not a big trash talker but I've been getting into it with Gargs quite a bit because our season opener is against Georgetown. It's definitely going to be a fun season and it'll definitely be fun to give the ACC guys a lot of trash because I think we have a really good team this year, so I probably will talk a good amount of trash.
AOTI: What word or phrase do you use way too often?
HJ: I say "no chance" a lot. If something happens or someone asks me a question, I'll say, "No chance!" Other than that I say "y'all" religiously.
AOTI: For which Olympic sport (besides soccer) do you think you would be a medal contender?
HJ: I've always been a good ping pong player until I played Pat, so that put me in my place and was a humbling experience. I'm not a big swimmer. Maybe I'd compete in some sort of equestrian event. I could own a horse like Mitt Romney and have a horse dance around.
AOTI: Current celebrity crush?
HJ: For body I'll go with Jessica Biel. I just watched the movie "Dark Knight Rises" and I just fell in love with Anne Hathaway. I think it was the role she played; she was awesome. Probably her because I live my life, about thirty percent of who I am is the last movie I saw.
AOTI: The team recently had two days off. How do you like to spend your free time?
HJ: I like to catch up on sleep because we have to wake up pretty early every day. On Tuesday me, Sean [Johnson], Austin [Berry], [Dan] Gargan and Orr [Barouch] all went and did hot yoga. It was my first experience with hot yoga. There were mirrors so that everybody could see everybody and I was shocked by how athletic these people were. We walked in and they were doing handstands and like one-armed stuff and I thought, 'What did we get into?'
We found out that we ended up in an advanced level class and were only supposed to do beginner's stretching. We got into the wrong class and it was the hardest thing ever. I fell like three times. But I'd absolutely do it again. We get a free month, so why not?
AOTI: There are a number of bro-mances on the team. Who is your best bud and what is your favorite thing to do together?
HJ: I get along really well with most of the guys so I can't single anyone out. Obviously I'm with my roommates Austin and Tony [Walls] (right) a lot so most of the time we just go and watch movies and stuff together.
AOTI: You are Texan, born and bred. Have you had a chance to check out any of the barbeque places in Chicago and how do they compare?
HJ: I haven't had any barbeque here and I don't really want to try it. My expectations are so high I'll just let it be.
AOTI: You're at a discotheque celebrating a Fire victory. Are you more likely to be in the middle of the dance floor or off to the side, surveying the scene?
HJ: It just depends. If I take my ADD medicine I'll be more alert and I'll probably be in the middle but if I don't I'll probably be on the outside. It just depends on what kind of day and how much energy I have.
AOTI: What's your patented lady killer move?
HJ: I let girls talk most of the time. It's pretty easy because most girls have tons of things to say. You can't hear that well so most of the time I just nod and smile.
AOTI: What's the theme song for the "Hunter Jumper: Rookie Year" reality show?
HJ: I'm a big fan of Avicii so probably "Blessed" by Avicii.
AOTI: What is the best part about being a Fire rookie?
HJ: Carrying stuff, getting picked on, literally everything that you can imagine a rookie has to go to through, we have to do.

In late October 1846, the last wagon train of that year's westward migration stopped overnight before resuming its arduous climb over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, unaware that a fearsome storm was gathering force. After months of grueling travel, the 81 men, women and children would be trapped for a brutal winter with little food and only primitive shelter. The conclusion is known: by spring of the next year, the Donner Party was synonymous with the most harrowing extremes of human survival. But until now, the full story of what happened--and what it tells us about human nature and about America's westward expansion--remained shrouded in myth.
Drawing on fresh archeological evidence, recent research on topics ranging from survival rates to snowfall totals, and heartbreaking letters and diaries made public by descendants a century-and-a-half after the tragedy, Ethan Rarick offers an intimate portrait of the Donner party and their unimaginable ordeal: a mother who must divide her family, a little girl who shines with courage, a devoted wife who refuses to abandon her husband, a man who risks his life merely to keep his word. Rarick resists both the gruesomely sensationalist accounts of the Donner party as well as later attempts to turn the survivors into archetypal pioneer heroes. "The Donner Party," Rarick writes, "is a story of hard decisions that were neither heroic nor villainous. Often, the emigrants displayed a more realistic and typically human mixture of generosity and selfishness, an alloy born of necessity."
A fast-paced, heart-wrenching, clear-eyed narrative history, Desperate Passage casts new light on one of America's most horrific encounters between the dream of a better life and the harsh realities such dreams so often must confront.

"I REALLY enjoyed this book"
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I have listened to it twice in the last three weeks - and don't want it to end. The book is narrated by Christopher Prince, who makes the book enjoyable listening.
Joseph Brown
"Very well researched story of the Donner Party"
Overall a very good book, I was impressed by the detail of available information presented in the book. Part 2 has the story most might know about the actual events at Donner Lake. But listening to the buildup, the wrong decisions, the just plain bad luck, as well as all the 'back story' to the other families involved in this was very interesting to me.
The performance was ok, not bad but not too great either. He reads the story well, what detracted it for me was the numerous 'voice overs' where corrections were made in the reading. They were annoying to me because they're so obvious! Changes in sound quality and sometimes volume in the voice overs just got to be a bit bothersome to me. I've heard many books were the voice overs are seamless or almost totally undetectable. This isn't one of those!
Again a very good story! If interested in the story of the Donner Party, I'd recommend this version especially due to the detail of the story told.
"Excellent book - amazing history"
I love reading personal accounts of historical events. Prior to listening to this book I knew very little about the Donner party experience and not much about America's westward expansion in the 1800s. This story is truly amazing for two reasons. The personal courage and perseverance of those involved is beyond anything I could imagine. Also, this book is so well researched and documented that I have confidence the story occurred just as it is written. Some might consider this book just because of the well known accounts of cannibalism but there is so much more. It is a story of commitment, resolve, and heroism in the face of extreme trials.
The book gives more information and a fuller understanding of what happened during this point in history. The term "Donner Party" has become a short hand for stupid decisions and cannibalism. This book shows that the situation really resulted from many tiny decisions and an unusually bad and early winter. A better understanding of the people involved as well as America during this period really draws you into the story. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
No, GREAT VOICE. Occasional pronunciation issues and a couple of inflections that lead you to believe he's NOT listening to the story he's reading. Neither is the director. I would listen to him again, he only made me wince 5 or 6 times.
Karen of Northern Michigan
"Lots of factual information"
Enjoyed the book. The author did his research and gives an interesting story of how the trip came about and how it affected each group of people in it.. I found it very interesting, yet felt their pain and hardships while listening to it.. Amazing what people went through back then compared to our jumping in a car and driving cross country today..
"Fascinating, but didn't need to be a whole book"
Only listened to the audio.
That other book where people eat each other's dead bodies (the plane crash in the mountains that happened in the last 20 years , don't remember the name).
No. The narration was flawless, though.
Cry, a little. I was sad that some people chose to kill and eat their dogs rather than eat the already dead bodies of family members. I don't see eating someone who is dead in order to survive is shameful. I do see killing your faithful dog and eating it is shameful if there is an alternative.
The book could have been half the length, taking away the digression about cannibalism, which is what people, including myself, are fascinated with, but the cannibalism was not the most important part of the Donner parties journey. To me the interesting aspect was how the survivors and witnesses felt a change in the moral view of the world.
"A gripping true story"
We listened to this on a long journey - it is the story of a long and ill-starred journey. The inevitability of the tragedy that befell these pioneering families is painful. It emphasised for me the huge risks taken by our pioneering families in the opening up of our countries.
"Sorry, couldn't enjoy this"
Not really. I would have much rather enjoyed another more captivating book.
Possibly. Depends.
The narrator sounds like a dad scolding his 10 year old son up in the bedroom. The tone could be expressed by the phrase " How many times have I told you not to etc., etc, etc, "
I appreciate the research put into Desperate Passage but it could have been written in a more concise manner, and certainly could have had a better narrator.
"Timing is off"
No. It is a fascinating story, but I got so distracted by the narrator's inflection, which was nearly identical for every sentence, that I had a hard time focusing on the actual events in the story. He often does not give us enough time to absorb things before moving on to a new topic, which I also found distracting, and I often could not tell when a character was speaking, or whether it was the author.
Excellent book and good narrator. Can't go wrong with such a dramatic story.
"Desperate Passage"
Probably not the most cheerful of subjects to listen to on audio book. But almost from the first few minutes I was whisked off into nineteenth century America. I?ve spent the last three mornings sitting in the work car park waiting for a chapter to end before being able to leave the car!! I?m now over half way through the audio book and actually looking forward to going into work tomorrow ? or at least the drive in and the drive home!! Don?t think about it ? get this audio book!!!!

Alright so I currently go to a new special 9th grade campus here where I live in the land of Bill Gates. Though this entire year in World Studies we have been covering you guessed it Religion. First we started with Christianity and the likes and now we are onto Taoism and Confucianism. Now as well as this my school also includes GSA (Gay straight alliance), The Christ Club (As I call it) and then we have the Jewish Club. Now when I was joking around and mentioned "Hey why are we learning religion in school" my teacher flipped out and said religion was an important part of culture. This I do not disagree with as it is the truth but I believe that Pastafarienisum is an important part of modern culture and that if we are to teach other religions that the religion of the FSM should be taught as well.
Not only that I am currently trying to drum up ideas to convince my school principle to allow us to make a club dedicated to the FSM. It is my firm belief that we must right this injustice against our religion in the school system. I am as of right now currently searching for a place to purchase a fair amount of eye patches with which I would like to hand out as a promotion for our new club. Of course this club would meet on Friday and we would purchase the holy gospel for all to read. Unfortunately as the school now enters the last quarter of the year I fear my ideas may have come too late but it is my greatest hope that this club will come to actualization.
