POTSDAM The village has finalized its decision to shut down the Potsdam Community Development Corp., citing strict state regulations that make it impossible for the organization to continue.
The corporation, which lends village money to businesses to spur economic development, will remain intact only until a replacement is found.
The nonprofit corporation was founded in 2006. It also applies for grant funds used to repair dilapidated buildings.
In 2005, the state passed the Public Authority Accountability Act, a law created to battle corruption at large public entities such as the state Canal Corp. and the Thruway Authority. The laws strict auditing requirements also apply to small public corporations, which has drastically raised Potsdams costs.
They cast a very wide net, and ended up catching a lot of small communities, Potsdam Planning and Development Director Frederick J. Hanss said.
The annual audit costs Potsdam $2,500.
The corporation used to issue three to eight loans annually, at an average of about $25,000. Jernabi Coffee, Potsdam Specialty Paper and Village Wines & Liquors are recent recipients. Almost all of the corporations loans are paid back in full, Mr. Hanss said.
The village is looking for a private nonprofit organization to take over the duties of the development corporation. The North Country Housing Council, a nonprofit group that already uses public and private funds for homeowner assistance and community development, was one of the first groups the village approached. Others have since joined in the discussion, and the village has yet to make a decision.
We have had some conversations with groups that have the ability and the capacity to do a loan program, Mr. Hanss said. We hope that they get wrapped up relatively early.
The Community Development Corp. will remain in place until a replacement is found, but this will not be long, according to Mr. Hanss.
I imagine that will probably be a matter of weeks, not years, he said.

NEWPORT–It was a good weekend to be an Eagle, but a tough one to be a Crusader as both the Mid-Vermont Christian Eagles and Canaan Eagles flew into the Newport Elementary School this past weekend and picked up wins over UCA.
On Friday evening it was Mid-Vermont in to take on the Academy.
As the girls game got underway, UCA was without two of their starters as Nicole Roy is out for the season with a broken bone in her hand and Olivia Foster was out due to medical reasons, so the Crusaders were already at a disadvantage.
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Academy boys improved to 16-3 on the season as they put the pedal to the metal in a 74-27 win. The Chargers had good balance as senior Andrew Marckres netted 22 and fellow senior teammate Jason Martin tacked on another 11. Freshman forward Jon DelaBruere collected ten for UCA.
ORLEANS–It was a complete group performance by the Lake Region boys on Wednesday evening as everybody on the team made an offensive contribution in the Ranger's 71-44 win over Northfield.
Said coach James Ingalls, "It was a great team effort, all the guys worked hard, shared the ball, and that is why we got the W."
"It felt pretty good to go out there and run the plays right," said senior center James Margolla on his team's play against the Marauders.
Right from the get go, the Rangers took the action to Northfield, and it started with Alex Beauregard,
Rutland Wins 5-3
RUTLAND–The Falcon hockey girls lost their second in a row Wednesday afternoon, falling to Rutland 5-3 in game one of the North Country-Rutland double-header.
"It wasn't a bad game," said coach Paul, "We did some different things with our breakout that worked and our power-play looked the best it has all year."
Rutland had the upper hand all game, starting in the first where they were able to get two past goalie Tara Langmaid.
The NEK Pythons hit the road on Sunday, making their way to the New England qualifier's tournament in Essex Junction.
The team had an excellent showing, and will be sending six of their wrestlers to the New England Championships on March 10th in Plymouth New Hampshire. The rest of the team will head to Mount Mansfield to compete in a regular season event.
The six wrestler making the trip to Plymouth are Josh Roberts, Codey Lamere, Logan Gerrow, Aiden Maher, and Logan and Jacob Sylvester.
Below are the results from Essex for each of the Python wrestlers.
ORLEANS – In front of the largest crowd of the season, Lake Region easily disposed of the BFA-Fairfax Bullets, while honoring their 6 seniors for 4 years of hard work and dedication, in the annual "Senior Night." Emily Comins, Sarah Bedard, Sara Piette, Autumn Beaton, Caylin Gallup, and Kylie Atwood have "represented what it means to be a Lady Ranger," in the words of coach Mark Tinker.
NEWPORT–This one hurt.
Coming so close to an important victory and having it land just out of your reach can be maddening. That is what happened Monday night when the Essex Hornets were able to snatch victory from the hands of defeat, coming back and trumping the North Country boys basketball team 61-59 in a highly emotional Metro Division showdown.
CRAFTSBURY–With the sun shinning outside a packed Craftsbury Academy gymnasium, the Chargers took home the inaugural Stephen Willey Memorial Tournament Championship with a 55-32 win over Mid-Vermont Christian School.
The event honors the late Stephen Willey, a former Craftsbury player who passed away in 2010, and according to the Academy's athletic director Joe Houston, the event could not have gone any better.
BARRE–North Country's girls basketball team gave Spaulding all they could handle on Friday before finally succumbing to the Tide 50-41 in overtime.
It was a very evenly matched game, but the difference came down to free throws for the Falcons.
The team was an overall 7/15 from the line, including a dismal 3/8 in the fourth quarter. Making any one of those eight freebies could have keyed a win, and coach Christiane Brown knows it.
"We had plenty of chances to seal the win, but we we did not finish and that is something we must tighten up."
JAY–In the second game of the doubleheader, the Falcons boys went up against one of the more surprising teams in division one this year, the Stowe Raiders.
Stowe made the jump to the top level of hockey this season and have done well, accruing only four loses on the season to date.
The Raiders feature one of the best players in the state, Ross Mandigo, but the electrifying forward almost missed the game as he forgot his jersey at home.
However, teammate Connor Meehan gave up his sweater and watched the game in street clothes to help bolster his team's chance of winning.

FEMALE: Female mosquitoes feed on blood because it provides proteins that are needed to lay mosquito eggs. After feeding, females lay their eggs.
EGGS: Eggs must be laid near water. They are usually attached together to form "rafts" that float on the surface of the water. They usually hatch within 48 hours.
LARVAE: Larvae live in water between 4-14 days and stay near the surface to breathe. Brushes near their mouths filter food needed for growth development. They shed their skin 4 times, growing each time, until they are ½ inch long.
PUPA: The pupa stage is the last development stage before becoming adult mosquitoes. In this stage they live in water from 1-4 days until they are ready to come out of their hard outer shell. The mature mosquito rests and lets it's body dry.

I am joining Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.
Would anybody be interested in posting a Rebus one day a week? As you can tell, I've been having fun with them! I would be glad to do a Mr. Linky for a rebus day, but I wasn't sure if anyone else likes them. Webster's Dictionary defines rebus as "a representation of words or syllables by pictures of objects or by symbols whose names resemble the intended words or syllables in sound". Example:
That isn't really the question though. The question is, do you want to participate. If so, please let me know in a comment.
This is where I stayed:
This is what I ate:
This was my view from the window:
A highlight of the trip was meeting a very special blogger. Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul , met my friend, Susie, and me at the airport! We only had an hour, so when I asked Sarah if she would possibly be available to meet us for lunch at the airport, she volunteered to bring a picnic. We had so much fun, even though it was for only an hour. Sarah brought us sandwiches, fruit, chips, desserts (yes, that's supposed to be plural), and drinks in cute little boxes and even had Quimper print paper napkins (Sarah is my Quimper-collecting idol). When I first saw Sarah's picture on her blog, I thought she looked like such a sweet person. I'm telling ya, she is even sweeter than she looks. Susie and I had so much fun meeting her, and we talked about her lovely picnic lunch the whole week. Thank you so much Sarah. If you haven't "met" Sarah, you should go to her blog right now, Hyacinths for the Soul. You'll love her blog, and you'll love her!
Thank you for the cards you have sent for Andrew. I'm still sending them. If you want to send him a card, please see my sidebar or my previous post. He is still in the hospital and having a very difficult time. Please pray for Melanie, Andrew and their family.
Please continue to pray for Amy, Debbie, and their family. They are suffering so much.
Both of these bloggers have recently written amazingly beautiful and inspirational posts about their children. If you haven't read them, you can click on their names above to go to their blogs.
Don't forget to go to Little Red House to find wonderful mosaics. Mary, thank you so much for coming up with the idea of Mosaic Monday. You know how I love those mosaics!
Thank you so much for coming by to visit even though I haven't visited all of you in awhile. (I really didn't have internet access). laurie

Middays: 10:00 - 3:00
30 Years in Retrospect
by Kane-O!
posted Jul 25 2011 8:00AM
Well. That was quick. It doesn't seem like 30 years have passed since I first opened the mic @ the Mighty 96.5 WCMF. Didn't think I'd be here this long. Didn't have any compelling reasons to leave. I had always envisioned myself getting back to do radio in New York City @ WNEW-FM, which was the radio station I listened to in my musical "formative years." That station was musically intense, had great air personalities, and played a lot of music that was decidedly outside the mainstream. That would explain why, until I came to Rochester, I had never heard of or listened to bands like Rush, Styx, REO, and AC/DC. I never made much of an effort to get back to New York because things continued to go well for me here. Plus, having already had the experience of living in New York, I had the benefit to be able to compare and I preferred the smaller-city life of Rochester. I have never regretted that decision.
For the record: In my 30 years, I have worked for 5 owners, 10 general managers, 8 Program Directors, and broadcast from 5 different locations. And of course, I've had the pleasure of working with many talented & creative individuals both on and off the air. With the exception of a brief, 6 month shift of 6-10pm, it's always been Middays. 10am-2pm, 10am-3pm, 11am-3pm, 11am-4pm, 12noon-4pm. It's always been Middays, spending many a work day laying out the soundtrack for your work day. It has been a tremendous pleasure to be your Work Force Supervisor for lo, these many years. Thank you. More to come…

Discover Lady Dior
The couturier knows that every woman is a princess.
Lady Dior was born of a desire to create an instantly recognisable bag with a strong identity. Iconic. Inspired by couture, a new bag was thus created in 1994 in the Dior workshops: elegant, carried in the hand, it boldly broke with the trends that dominated the era. Its code name: 'Chouchou' or favourite. Two years later, it was baptised Lady Dior as a tribute to Princess Diana who fell in love with this unique accessory on a visit to Paris. As soon as it hit the boutiques, Lady Dior was instantly successful. Today personified by the beautiful and talented Marion Cotillard, the face of Lady Dior since 2008, the bag has never ceased to win over women since its creation. It truly has become Dior's bag of reference.
Lady Dior has constructed its identity around certain emblematic Dior codes. Its cannage stitching, the signature Dior motif, consists of a network of diagonal and perpendicular stitching. This precise harmony reveals its cushions of quilted leather, like a scattering of shimmering faceted diamonds. The arched handle, the symbol of a feminine and elegant gesture, gives Lady Dior its 'couture' style. The jewellery charms that adorn Lady Dior are adorned with a fine layer of real gold. Hanging from one of its handles, the four letters of Dior sway to the bag's movements with a slight jingling sound. Lady Dior has become one of Dior's most iconic accessories and bears the mark of its inimitable style.

As you well know by now, the holidays are here, which means 'tis the season for gifts galore! If you've got a shopping list a mile long or simply have no idea what to wish for, fret not because today we're debuting the first installment of our annual Gift Guide! With a little help from our friends at Coach, this week we'll be revealing all the important presents you could possibly want and ideas aplenty about what to buy your nearest and dearest.
So who's first? Let's just put it this way: she's the type of woman who is insanely busy, but never breaks a sweat. She's both a baby whisperer and a wonder in the boardroom. A career-minded lady who has her own kiddos at home, in other words-the Mogul Mom! Fashionable yet practical, this woman never stops working, so she deserves some chic presents that are just as stylish and versatile as she is. From a goes-with-everything gray satchel to a candy apple red iPad case, we've rounded up a selection of sweet treats for all the Mogul Moms out there, so read on for details about these essential gifts!
Coach Sophia Satchel ($498) in Silver
If you're hoping to gift the Mogul Mom in your life with an ultra-chic carrier, make sure you give her Coach's Sophia Satchel. We're positive she'll appreciate the bag's functional size (it's sure to hold all of her essentials), sturdy metallic leather, and of-the-moment embossed croc detailing, which gives it a luxurious, uptown look. Even better: the satchel has an adjustable shoulder strap, so it can quickly transform into a hands-free carrier-just one more feature that is sure to please this on-the-go woman.
Christian Lacroix & The Tale of Sleeping Beauty ($22) by Camilla Morton, illustrations by Christian Lacroix
Being the fashion-minded tastemaker that she is, our do-it-all mom wouldn't read just any bedtime story to her kids-perish the thought! Why go for a pedestrian tale when Christian Lacroix & The Tale of Sleeping Beauty is an option? This ingenious book by Camilla Morton is full of whimsical illustrations by the iconic French designer himself, and the results are a stylish twist on a classic story. We're positive this delightful book-also be sure to check out the second book in the Fashion Fairy Tale Memoir Series: Manolo Blahnik and the Tale of Elves and the Shoemaker-will get smiles from moms and kids alike!
NCLA Nail Lacquer ($16) in Poolside Party, All Eyes On Me!
Perfectly polished nails are essential for any Mogul Mom, so we simply had to include a sophisticated option. Our pick is this peach hue that will go with absolutely anything, which makes it a particularly appealing choice for busy ladies! Even better: the lacquers are all 5 Free-meaning they don't have harmful carcinogens such as Formaldehyde, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, or Camphor-and nothing is ever tested on animals, so it's a gift that's considerate and cool.
Rachel Zoe Cole Heels ($295) in Black Snake
This supermom is often running around town juggling meetings and play dates, which means a comfortable shoe is a must! But our Mogul Mom doesn't want to sacrifice style, which is exactly why she'd love these heels by Rachel Zoe. They're a bit sexy (thanks to the delicate ankle strap and snakeskin), but they're still very sophisticated, plus they have a sturdy heel that makes them a practical choice too. Now that's a win-win situation!
Rag & Bone Watchmen Jacket ($495) in Midnight
Finding pieces that are both professional and stylish is key for today's subject, which brings us to our next fabulous gift idea: Rag & Bone's Watchmen Jacket. She could wear this slim, cropped blazer with a pencil skirt for the office or pair it with jeans for a polished weekend look. Either way, it's a decidedly smart choice! We also approve of Zara's more affordable Blazer ($90), which has a similarly tailored fit and polished look.
Victoria Beckham Audrey Oversized-Frame Acetate Sunglasses ($470)
As a Mogul Mom herself, we knew we could count on Victoria Beckham to produce a really posh pair of sunglasses fit for any yummy mummy! Inspired by Audrey Hepburn, these oversized shades have thick black frames that are the epitome of chic and are sure to be a beloved gift! Price tag a bit too steep for your liking? No need to fret, American Apparel's Boston Sunglasses ($40) are just as lust-worthy!
MICHAEL Michael Kors Padded Leather iPad Case ($130) in Red
For all those tech-savvy moms out there, a chic iPad case is a wonderful gift idea! We think this version by MICHAEL Michael Kors is a particularly top-notch option, as it features a sleek, fuss-free design and wonderfully vibrant color that every busy mom would surely adore.

Qu�bec City (French: Ville de Qu�bec), is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. The city has a population of over half a million, and the metropolitan area more than 700,000, making it the second most populous city in Qu�bec after Montreal, which is about 145 miles to the southwest. Furthermore, Qu�bec City should be part of your ski vacation when you plan to ski Mont-Sainte-Anne and Le Massif de Charlevoix.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River proximate to the citys headland, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and L�vis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, K�bec, an Algonquin word meaning where the river narrows. Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Qu�bec) are the only remaining fortified city walls that still exist in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the Historic District of Old Qu�bec
Qu�bec is the citys official name in both French and English, although Qu�bec City (or its French equivalent, Ville de Qu�bec) is commonly used, mostly to distinguish the city from the province. The citys most famous landmark is the Ch�teau Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline and sits on an expansive hill, the highest point in the center of the city. The National Assembly of Quebec (provincial legislature), the Mus�e national des beaux-arts du Qu�bec (National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec), and the Mus�e de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Qu�bec.
Tourist attractions located near Quebec City include Montmorency Falls, the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupr�, the Ice Hotel, Mont-Sainte-Anne ski resort, and Le Massif de Charlevoix ski area.
Mont-Sainte-Anne is a ski resort in the city of Beaupr�, Quebec, Canada, located about 25 miles northeast of Qu�bec City. The mountain has a summit elevation of 2,625 ft above sea level and a vertical drop of 2,051 ft. There are 66 trails covering 43 miles on three different sides of the mountain. 17 trails covering 9.3 miles are available for night skiing on the highest vertical for night skiing in Canada. The average natural snowfall at the summit is 187 in.
The other big ski resort in the vicinity is Le Massif de Charlevoix ski area. It is located in Petite-Rivi�re-Saint Fran�ois, Charlevoix, Qu�bec, a 75-minute drive from Qu�bec City. Its vertical drop is 2,526 ft, the most in Eastern Canada.
Apart from a big vertical drop and lots of snow, Le Massif de Charlevoixs main claim to fame is that the area is accessible both from the top and from the base. There are three peaks, two of which are currently developed.
Le Massif de Charlevoix gets a lot of snow, and keeps it, as it also gets little rain for an eastern ski area. The natural snowpack (in the trails) can exceed eight feet at the summit on a typical winter. However, the base is nearly at sea level and can lose its snow quickly once April rolls in. Skiing season usually lasts from early December to late April.
La Charlevoix, the steepest trail at Le Massif, is home to the only alpine training center east of the Rockies for Canadas athletes. This trail, with a steepest pitch of 64%, is considered by many to be one of the top three most difficult womens downhill trails in the world.
So if you are looking for skiing and a bit more, experience Qu�bec City, and ski Mont-Sainte-Anne and Le Massif de Charlevoix. Check out www.quebecregion.com.

CUMBERLAND – A family of beavers who faced being trapped and killed for causing tree damage and flooding at Diamond Hill Park has been granted a stay of execution.
After initially stating that he was considering having a local exterminator kill the beavers, Parks and Recreation Director Michael Crawley says that plan has been scrapped – at least for now.
CUMBERLAND – A family of beavers who faced being trapped and killed for causing tree damage and flooding at Diamond Hill Park has been granted a stay of execution.
After initially stating that he was considering having a local exterminator kill the beavers, Parks and Recreation Director Michael Crawley says that plan has been scrapped – at least for now.
"Hunting season for beaver is over. It runs from November to March, so that deadline has passed. And to trap beaver off-season you need to get a special permission from the Department of Environmental Management, so at this point we're going to take some time to evaluate the situation. We haven't decided anything yet."
The beaver family's lodge on Sylvie's Brook at Diamond Hill Park has caused extensive tree damage and flooding near the baseball fields, which prompted complaints from some town residents.
According to Crawley, the four-member beaver family showed up two year ago and includes a breeding male and female and their offspring of two breeding seasons.
"We received complaints and we had to investigate those complaints," said Crawley. "Our intent in contacting Critter Control (a Greenville-based wild animal control firm) was to have them come out and assess the situation. I understand there are two sides to this. Some people consider them a nuisance and capable of a lot of destruction, while others want to protect them. So, for now, we're going to think about it and then make a decision which way to go."
Crawley says he is waiting to see if how much damage occurs through the summer months before deciding whether or not to revisit the option to have the beavers trapped and killed during next year's hunting season.
"You just can't relocate them because it is illegal in Rhode Island and most other states to transport and release live wild animals from one location to another," he said.
The beaver is the largest rodent in North America with adults ranging from 35 to 46 inches long and weighing from 45 to 60 pounds
Beavers construct dams which result in the formation of ponds within which the lodge and winter food cache are located. It is believed to be a combination of water flow sensation and the sound associated with running water that stimulates this dam building activity. Within and around the pond the beaver construct canals for security and for the transport of food and building materials. Beavers are primarily active at night with regard to their dam building and tree cutting activity.
The impoundments created by beavers provide valuable wildlife habitat for assorted furbearer and waterfowl species. In this way, the beaver provides valuable ecological benefits to the public at large. On the other hand, the beaver's dam building activity can result in widespread flooding of woodlands and agricultural land and cause numerous complaints by plugging road culverts, flooding roads, railroad tracks and causing general property damage concerns.
Meanwhile, Dennis Tabella, president of the statewide animal-rights group Defenders of Animals, says he plans to contact Crawley and the town in hopes of sitting down to discuss a more humane way of dealing with the beaver problem.
"It's 2013 and we should be looking at more humane methods of dealing with these kinds of issues," says Tabella. "The problem is that town managers and people in town government aren't looking around at all the different options that are available."
Tabella says the Town of Scituate is a good example of a community that chose to deal with a nuisance wildlife problem in a "thoughtful and humane manner."
In 2000, he said, the town agreed to work with Defenders of Animals to solve a beaver problem in Potterville Brook without killing them. The beavers had been blocking a culvert that passes beneath Nipmuc Road, causing water from the brook to flood residential property.
At first, the town was considering having the beavers trapped and killed by a fur trader, but Defenders of Animals asked the town to stop the trapping and offered to pay for a network of plastic pipes that he says allowed water to pass through the culvert and deter the animals from damming the passage. The contraptions were installed near the culvert and, so far, have deterred beaver activity.
"We think that Scituate could be the model for other Rhode Island communities regarding humane systems for beaver control," Tabella said.

In this video, two employees of Edmond Optics demonstrate the Rube Goldberg contraption they created to deliver marshmallows to their mugs of hot chocolate. From a microwave-triggered, zip-lining stuffed reindeer; through a laser-embedded Nutcracker doll, to a slingshot full of marshmallows, this solution is deliciously over-engineered.

|May Unemployment Drops Across High Country
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 24 June 2011 11:14
Unemployment rates decreased in just under half of North Carolina's 100 counties in May. Rates decreased in 40 counties, increased in 44 counties and remained the same in 16. "Seasonal hiring has begun to increase in some areas of North Carolina," said ESC Chairman Lynn R. Holmes.
"We experienced growth in several of our industrial sectors last month and over the year. We continue to focus on growing jobs and working with our economic, education and workforce development partners. Our offices remain committed to assisting job seekers and employers." North Carolina had 40 counties that were at or below the state's unadjusted unemployment rate of 9.7 percent. Rates increased in 10 of the state's Metropolitan Statistical Areas, decreased in one and remained the same in three. Ashe Unemployment dropped .3 of a percent to 10.4, while Avery dropped over a point, from 11.3 to 10.2%. Watauga dropped .2 from 7.6 to 7.4%

Before we fell in love with The Hills and The Real Housewives of Orange County (our not-so-secret obsession), there was once a little MTV gem called Rich Girls. If for some strange reason you missed the single season in 2003 (which was mundane and mesmerizing in equal parts), the reality show followed the lives of two, well-to-do teens in New York. One of the subjects/stars of the show was Ally Hilfiger and we found her practically impossible not to watch, thanks to her sweetly sheltered point of view. Recently, Hilfiger popped up on our radar again, but this time we find her compelling for wholly different reasons. The 22-year-old is holding her own in the competitive, Manhattan fashion scene and we think she's one to watch.
Unlike many of her privileged background peers, Hilfiger has a down-to-earth take on trends that is both accessible and personal (she looks like she actually styles herself). Mathematically speaking, she seems to be working with a 60% uptown/40% downtown mix for a smart-but never precious-style. She wears sophisticated pieces in a youthful manner, like pairing the above, furry vest with a t-shirt and skinny black pants for a night at Pete Wentz's weekly karaoke competition. We also approve of how Hilfiger reuses her favorite wardrobe staples, like the animal print belt she wore to a party for a Vanity Fair fete (hot pink dress, far right) and then again for Nina Garcia's book party (black dress, far left).
She's also supporting young designers-always a savvy choice-and wearing buzzy pieces from these up-and-coming lines. The electric blue Hologram Dress ($475) with sequined details (above, second from right) Hilfiger chose for an Art Basel party is not only one our favorite pieces from Alexander Wang's resort collection, but tastemaker Erin Wasson's too. We were also excited to see she's wearing Katy Rodriguez too (above, far right) and doing her own take on a suit, albeit a modern one with shorts instead of a skirt (above, middle). Hopefully Hilfiger's eye and personal stamp will be available to the greater public. She's rumored to be opening a boutique in LA soon and we're quite curious to see what she'd stock!

As part of last week's health fair, local medical officials stressed the importance of a balanced diet and it's relationship to heart health.
"The road to heart health is paved with adventure, excitement and risks," pointed out literature provided by Castleview Hospital. "Mapping your own heart health eating plan will help direct you to your heart health goal."
The American Heart Association's diet and lifestyle recommendations are based on the latest advice of medical and nutrition experts.
By following the plan, the organization indicates that local residents can reduce three of the major risk factors for heart disease: high blood cholesterol, excess body weight and high blood pressure.
The AMA recommends a balanced calorie intake and physical activity to achieve or maintain a healthy body weight. The same information is given to most patients by medical professionals.
"We tell people who struggle with heart problems the same thing - to diet and exercise," said Dr. Sterling Potter's certified nurses assistant Kerrie Sherman. "It's something that people have been told for years and nothing has changed. If you watch your sugar intake and maintain an exercise program you are going to have a better chance at having good heart health."
Sherman explained that "diet" did not mean crashing and binging, but maintaining a balanced intake that included the basic food groups.
The American Medical Association also recommends:
â¢Consuming a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
â¢Choosing whole-grain, high-fiber foods.
â¢Consuming fish, especially oily fish, at least twice a week.
â¢Choosing a diet low in fat, saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol.
â¢Minimizing the intake of beverages and foods with added sugar.
â¢Choosing to prepare foods with little or no salt.
â¢Consuming alcohol in moderation if at all.
To achieve a desirable cholesterol level the AMA recommends limiting the saturated fats, trans fats and dietary cholesterol in any diet.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver and supplied in the diet through animal foods such as meat and dairy products. The body needs some cholesterol to insulate nerves, from cell membranes and make certain hormones.
Too much cholesterol in the blood can lead to build-up in the arteries of the heart however, causing a persons risk factor for heart attack and stroke to increase.
There are two kinds of cholesterol, LDL and HDL. LDL is considered bad because is has a tendency to easily build on the walls of the heart's arteries.
HDL is consider the good type of cholesterol as it helps remove cholesterol from the same arteries.
According to the AMA literature, adding foods containing soluble fiber including foods and beverages made with soy protein and added plan sterols can help to achieve a healthy cholesterol level.
The AMA also recommends boning up on their latest version of the food pyramid from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The new formula is called "MyPyramid," it has six vertical strips detailing a balanced diet.
According to the literature, the change in the pyramid comes because one size does not fit all and different individuals need different amounts of certain food groups to maintain good health. For more information on discerning just what type of food intake would fit a certain person visit the USDA's pyramid site at www.MyPyramid.gov.
Lastly, the AMA recommends that those concerned about their heart and overall health measure their body mass index, which is a measure of weight compared to height.
According to information passed out at Castleview's Health Fair, men should target anywhere from 12 to 20 percent body fat, while women should shoot for between 18 and 25 percent.
It is interesting to note that nearly twice as many women in the U.S. die of heart disease and stroke as they do from all forms of cancer combined. However, the good news according to the AMA is that heart disease is largely preventable.
"We always encourage our patients," said Sherman when asked about individuals who struggle with maintaining a diet and exercise routine. "It up to them in the end because it's their life and their health but we are always encouraging toward our patients."
According to the AMA, it's encouragement for change that could save their lives.

It seems that in all of my lessons, I've had to note the exception, and that's true here, too. Sometimes you just need an exclamation point. After all, sometimes the cat urps on the new carpet. If you're writing fiction, restrict your exclamation points to within the dialog (not in the narrative), and then only sparingly. If you're writing non-fiction, it's almost certainly not necessary—but then again, who am I to argue with this:

A Nonny Mouse wrote:Okay, I'm going to try this. Feel free to rip it apart.
"Mom! This is like... SO unfair!"
"I'm sorry, but the answer is still 'No.'" Tina placed her purse on the counter and sorted through the mail.
"But... Ash and Tiff are going! Their moms don't care! You're just..." Jocelyn stomped into the living room, hurling her book bag to the floor. Dropping to the couch in a huff, she pulled out her cell phone to check for text messages. Her mother followed close behind.
"Now hold on, young lady," Tina began, "let's review a couple things here. The title has the words 'Axe Murderer' in it. Hello! It's going to be graphic and scary, and..."
"MOM. I'm 14." Jocelyn glowered, and then turned her attention back to the phone.
"Let. Me. Finish." Tina's voice was stern enough to elicit a look from her irritated daughter.
"Fine." Jocelyn crossed her arms and sighed.
"Look, young lady, I was 14 once too, and it was't that long ago! There were times I didn't get to do what everyone else was doing. And it wasn't fun. But it was for my own good. You have to remember, Jocelyn Nichole, I make the decisions I make because I care about you. I'm not responsible for Ashley and Tiffany. I'm responsible for YOU. I know you think I'm a meanie..."
The cell phone buzzed and Tina waited. No point continuing, texts are more important than mom... She frowned as she watched her daughter's face for some hint of what this new message was about.
"Perfect!" Jocelyn threw up her hands, tossing the cell phone on the couch. "Why me?"
"What is it this time?" Tina quinted at her daughter. She's really mad, now.
Jocelyn waved the phone in Tina's face. "Everyone going. Can pick you up. Gonna be wicked cool!" Her voice rose and cracked.
"Jocelyn, I just think --"
"But Mom! Everyone will be talking about it... but ME! Because MY mom decided... oh,]whatever!" Jocelyn jumped to her feet, jerking her bookbag from the floor.
Another text. Tina watched as Jocelyn read the message and then closed her eyes.
"Great." The word was almost imperceptible. The two stood like statues as silence enveloped the room.
Tina rubbed her forehead and sighed. "Jocelyn, come here, please."
"What?" Jocelyn turned to face her mother, bracing herself.
"Come here." Slowly, Jocelyn trudged toward her mom. "You really want to do this, don't you? It's that important?"
"Mo-o-om!" came the whiny plea. "Just this once.. can't you... please?"
The puppydog eyes, the lower lip--they were too much for Tina to resist. My gosh, she is just like me,. Crossing her arms and squaring her shoulders, she locked eyes with her daughter. "You WILL call me when you arrive at the mall."
"But... Ash's mom is gonna drive us! Why do I --"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"You WILL text me when the movie is over."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"You WILL call me when Ashley's mom arrives to bring you home."
The look from her mom was all it took to stifle her disagreement. "Yes, Ma'am."
Jocelyn began to fidget in place. "Wha-a-a-at?"
"You will NOT be anywhere but at the theaters And you especially will NOT get into any other car, other than Ashley's mom's car. Is that understood?"
Jocelyn's face shone. "Yes, Ma'am!"
Tina reached out and tucked a lock of hair behind Jocelyn's ear. I just lost this battle. "I love you, Joc."
"I love you, Mom."
Jocelyn grinned and giggled. "Always, Mom." She wiggled free from her mom's embrace. "I gotta text Ash back!"
Tina sat down and closed her eyes. She is SO much like me...
"Mommm… It's not rated X! She folds her arms and taps her toes while glaring in Tina's eyes. Lot's of movies are gory." Sarcastically she says: "I'm not afraid of the boogie-man."

POTSDAM - For Brian Leonard, its a new start under the leadership of an old friend.
After beginning his National Football League career with the St. Louis Rams and then competing the last four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, the Gouverneur native will enjoy a fresh start in the NFL this coming season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Leonard, who is operating the 5th annual Brian Leonard Football Camp this week at SUNY Potsdam, signed a one-year deal with the Bucs in April. Hell be reunited with his college coach, Greg Schiano, who was at the helm at Rutgers University during Leonards four-year stint as a Scarlet Knight. Schiano became the Bucs new head coach last season.
Its comfortable going back to a coaching staff I already know and Ill also be playing with some former teammates from Rutgers, said Leonard who regularly kept in touch with Schiano until last year when his former college coach left Rutgers for the NFL.
Im excited. I had a great time in Cincinnati and have some good friends there and the fans are great. But I needed a change and I think Coach Schiano knows how to use me. Hopefully Ill progress throughout camp and show my skills and my role with the team will get bigger and bigger, he added.
Leonard, 29, is known as a humble, yet gritty player and has been used mostly as a third down back in the NFL. In his pro career, hes averaged 3.7 yards per carry to go along with 113 pass receptions. Hes also a good pass protector and has been a mainstay on special teams wherever hes played.
We felt Brian could help us win and thats why we brought him here. Brian Leonards a winner, said Schiano. I have a history with him since he was 16-years-old. Weve been through a lot together. This guy is an unselfish guy who will show up big when we need him.
Leonard is one the rare individuals whos made the jump from Section 10 to the college ranks and ultimately to the NFL.
Its tough to come out of a small town and make it the NFL. But Im glad I grew up in a small town like Gouverneur. I have small-town views. Im think Im grounded and I think its helped keep me humble.
While the average NFL career for a running back is four years, Leonard feels his chances of achieving a measure of longevity are good.
Im not taking a beating like the every-down backs are taking and I think that does help. Though sometimes you do take a beating on special teams, said Leonard. Im hoping to end my career in Tampa and win a Super Bowl. If I stay consistent, I think I can play 2-or-3 more years.
A fair amount of area fans are expected to witness the debut of the popular north country native with the Bucs who open their regular season at the New York Jets on September 8th.
Tampa Bay was in a lot of close games last year and weve been working a lot on the two-minute drill, said Leonard. Coach has brought me in to help relieve Doug Martin when needed. Ill be alright as long as I can prove myself in camp.
More than 100 young gridders are attending the Leonard camp this week where the fundamentals of the game are being stressed.
We always go back to the fundamentals, the basics of football, right down to taking handoffs, stances, first steps, explosion after the catch, things like that, said Leonard who credits his own attendance at camps as a youngster as a big factor in his success. And for the older guys its a chance to get some exposure. Division III college coaches are here and talent scouts from New Jersey. Its a chance for kids to get their names out there. Theyre looking for kids who are bigger, faster, stronger. Ones who can run a good 40 and with good hands. And for kids who love the game.
Two such individuals include Troy Gates of Gouverneur and Garrison Barcomb of Canton, who are attending this weeks camp. Both will be returning juniors on their respective varsity football teams this fall.
I remember watching Brian Leonard at Rutgers and he was just great. They talk a lot about him in Gouverneur. Hes part of the reason I play football. Im here this week to try and get better and be the best I can be, said Gates who will likely be the starting quarterback for the Wildcats this season. The camp definitely will help me improve my skills. I love football and I hope I can play in college.
Barcomb will be a third-year varsity player for the Golden Bears this fall and earned a Don Petty scholarship to attend the Leonard camp.
Football if phenomenal. I love it. The camp will help me get better at fullback and outside linebacker, said Barcomb. This gives me good experience and Im learning a lot. I would love to go on after high school and play college football. It would be a dream come true.

OGDENSBURG Midwinter thaws usually are a welcome respite, especially to those weary of icy sidewalks, snowed-in driveways and layered clothing.
But not to the city Department of Public Works.
The earth is at it again, thawing and then freezing, with frost settling in three to five feet down, shifting subtly enough to avoid the Richter scale. The citys mostly century-old grid of water mains 80 miles of them doesnt get off so easily.
Too much movement and the old pipes tend to break, causing rushing water to saturate the ground and, eventually, break through the street surface to create a pool.
According to Public Works Director Kit W. Smith, there have been seven water main breaks in the past month, the most recent a pair of them Monday on Paterson and North Rosseel streets.
Seven breaks in a month is a high number, Mr. Smith said, but the reason for the calls puts it in perspective.
Everything we do is pretty much weather-driven, he said.
Water main breaks, Mr. Smith said, usually are caused by friction between the underground soil and external pipe corrosion.
In recent years, the department has been able to reduce water main breaks by repairing or replacing corroded mains with concrete-lined iron pipe.
The average water main break costs the DPW about $4,000 in labor, parts and materials to repair.

In society we all can't agree on everything, but there is one thing we can all agree on... Everything is better in slow motion.
This week we caught two goals on our "behind the net" cameras. First we have Mike Magee's perfectly timed run to give him his 16th MLS goal on the season. And if that wasn't enough, we also caught Alex's #BRAZILIANT shot from distance to put the game away.
So now we have a different sort of perspective. Now suddenly the Fire are sitting in a playoff spot. Now the fight has paid off and the double comeback on Saturday night has everyone high and talking about "attitude" and "mentality" and there's a different feel. Can you tell? Off-field issues, on field disappointments, coaching decisions, refereeing - it all feels a little irrelevant right now.
Now the approach is different. Now the Fire have in some way reached their goal, they've come back and got into a playoff spot. Now the team has a little momentum again, a little confidence, a little faith in this season's various experiments.
Suddenly the Arevalo Rios/Jeff Larentowicz partnership looks as good as the Alex/Larentowicz partnership, while Alex has excelled as a utility attacker (center/left/right) off the bench or filling in for Rios on international duty.
Juan Luis Anangono finally finished and is beginning to look like a player you would spend transfer dollars on, while some healthy competition between Patrick Nyarko, Dilly Duka, and Joel Lindpere for outside midfield spots will only push them more and mean more service for Anangono.
Suddenly, the Fire look like a deep, experienced, full squad that can bring players like Chris Rolfe and Logan Pause off the bench if need be.
I just mean to say that the feeling after a dramatic and total team victory like Saturday's is so much different from the panic, terror, and anger that fans felt on and off for most of the season. Toyota Park was more energized after Alex's goal on Saturday than at any other time all year.
It feels like some fans and commentators have been calling games "must win" for the Fire since the spring, in a way that - deserved or not - everything felt like it was on the edge of a complete and utter disaster. That's sports, especially in Chicago, but now that a goal's been reached, there's a feeling that you could almost call pride, back again.
So forgive us, playoff gods, for looking to the calendar because, as Mike Magee said Larentowicz told the team down 2-1 at halftime on Saturday, "the season gets shorter and shorter now and business has to be done."
How will the team deal with being in 5th place looking down, instead of the other way around?
The Fire still have to improve on their away form if they're going to hold their position despite tricky trips to Columbus, RFK, and Dallas, before finishing the season at first place New York. And the Fire still have to take the seemingly easier points against Toronto and DC. But it's just six games and they hold their own destiny.
We know the playoff spot is the Fire's to lose, and the fans can sense that this team, with its three different phases this year, and its hot streaks and cold streaks and other hot streaks and other cold streaks - this team might just have found enough consistency to not only make the playoffs but, well, if it was too early to panic about making the playoffs, it's probably too early for the overly optimistic thoughts too, right?

Mike Magee already has double-digit goals in 2013.
In Regular Season terms, the six he scored in LA (three of which came against the Fire on Opening Day) combined with the nine he's tallied for the Men in Red since May have him second in the MLS Golden Boot Race with 15.
He's also scored double-digits for the Fire across all competitions, with his nine league goals combining with three in U.S. Open Cup play to give him 12 across all competitions.
Still, that long-hanging statistic of hitting double-digit regular season goals in one season for one club is there for Magee tonight as he looks to become the seventh player in club history to achieve the feat.
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Having appeared in just 15 games, it made me wonder if he could be the quickest to do it in a Fire shirt and then I remembered: Ante Razov...
Razov is of course the club's all-time leading scorer with 76 regular season goals in 155 games. He hit double-digit goals five of his six seasons in Chicago. It stands to reason that he might have Magee beat multiple times in this stat.
Take a look...
|Ante Razov's Double Digit Goals
|Games Needed
So Magee won't beat him but upon further review, if he bags a goal Saturday vs. New England or in the next two games, he'll be come the second fastest player to hit double-digits for the Fire after Razov. Not bad for a guy who asked for Ante's blessing before he took the #9 shirt with the Men in Red.

For all the talk of the Fire's possession problems, you wouldn't have known it in the first 20 minutes of Wednesday night's game in Toronto. The Alex/Jeff Larentowicz partnership hummed along like it did during the squad's hottest streak this year, a fresh looking Patrick Nyarko did his havoc-creating thing, and it all culminated with a deserved goal.
Of course, at the final whistle it was obviously a shame they didn't get one or two more during that period. But that's what this Fire does. They pull off the tough results and tend to drop the seemingly easier ones. Even on short rest, away from home (where they've struggled all year), Toronto was the perfect opponent.
And in the first 20 minutes, the Fire pretty much had their way with the ball and the field, pressing hard to win it up field, running off each other -- it was yummy. It's hard to pick one sequence but there was one down the right side in the 15th minute I loved. The Fire won the ball and played a couple fast one-touch passes before Nyarko just missed Chris Rolfe, wide open past midfield. It didn't come off, but just look at the wide open spaces in TFC's team shape.
TFC started bad. Really bad. They misplaced more balls than a dog with amnesia and the Fire took all the space they wanted. It was a veritable buffet for Rolfe, Dilly Duka, and Mike Magee, enjoying constant service from midfield as well as the enterprising Gonzalo Segares.
TFC's goal shouldn't have been the last goal of the game but it was and thankfully other results held up so the Fire are still in perfectly okay position for the playoffs. They need to pick up points down the stretch, yeah, but they're all of one point out of fifth with seven games to play. I still don't understand the doomsayers calling the season off already.
If the 14th minute, free-flowing Fire example showed everything this team can be when it flows right, Quincy Amarikwa's 78th minute chance showed what's sometimes dispiriting about them. They let points get away from them.
Off a TFC attack, Magee got the ball in his own half and turned through the midfield to play Rolfe, who spotted Amirakwa's dash inside. It was a great run because he timed it later than Juan Luis Anangono's, which was a bit too early so his defender could recover before Pause pushed close enough to goal.
Amarikwa's run came directly in front of his defender, giving Pause the angle and target he needed, and Quincy was in. He had the choice of laying off for Anangono, who was beyond the goalie and just a simple touch away from giving the Fire the lead, but he went himself. Against his own team, in on goal, Amarikwa went himself and shot right at TFC keeper Joe Bendik. Anangono (and Fire fans) were furious.
It's not outrageous for a striker in that position to go himself; actually, it's probably the right thing to do versus risk an extra pass. But it was a moment the Fire couldn't quite grasp, the kind of moment they'll need to in the next seven games if they're to keep their season going into the playoffs.
After dropping points late for the second week in a row, the Fire head north to Toronto to play their game in hand against TFC Wednesday night knowing that a win would springboard the Club into a Playoff position (6:30pm CT on My50). TFC were also beaten in the Pacific Northwest last weekend, 4-0 by Portland. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Controlling possession while being wary of TFC's high pressure
In recent matches, TFC have focused on pressuring their opponent high up the field in an attempt to turn the ball over and/or force the team to play long ball or go back to the goalkeeper. This tactic can work very well but it also has the result of drawing your players out of position in an attempt to put pressure on the opponent.
Last week New England showed the most effective way of countering that tactic, namely by playing neat, one touch soccer and playing through the pressure. When looking at the possession stats, the Fire aren't one of the most dominant teams in that category, averaging 43% over their past three games but against a team like Toronto, this can be rectified.
READ: Gonzalo Segares talks how MLS Results can be Razor Thin
The Men in Red certainly possess players comfortable playing a one touch, possession brand of soccer and must not be forced into giving the ball away needlessly or kicking the ball long due to the pressure by the TFC attacking players.
I look for the team not to be wasteful in possession on Wednesday night and to play themselves out of pressure whenever possible.
Changes in the attack? Injuries may force a shakeup on Wednesday night
WATCH: Larentowicz, Nyarko preview TFC
With top goal scorer and talisman Mike Magee subbed off at halftime as an injury precaution and the team playing
two games this week, it remains to be seen whether he will go the full 90 tonight in Toronto. With this in mind, Fire coach Frank Klopas has a number of ways he can tinker the side.
One obvious choice would be to bring in Juan Luis Anangono in attack as a direct replacement for Magee, while Patrick Nyarko and Quincy Amarikwa can also play in the forward role. A second and more likely option would be to see Nyarko come in on the wing and Alex play up front with Chris Rolfe.
As Kevin Egan pointed out in the latest edition of "The Centerback," the front four of Alex, Rolfe, Magee and Duka combined extremely well against Seattle and bringing another pacey player like Nyarko into the mix makes sense.
Toronto's defenders are not the fastest, and the movement and speed of the New England and Portland attacking players caused TFC a lot of problems in the last two matches. If Magee is not deemed fit enough to start, who better to bring on later in the game if the Fire need to bag a winner than the second top goal scorer in MLS this season?
Keeping an eye on Reggie Lambe – a powerful wide player
Though statistically Reggie Lambe isn't having the best of years for Toronto, he has played well in TFC's last few matches and will be a threat on Wednesday evening.
In TFC's recent tie with D.C., Lambe switched wings with Bobby Convey and the move worked, crossing for Convey who finished neatly for TFC's lone goal in that match.
In TFC's last home game against New England, the Canadians started with only Robert Earnshaw up front, but Lambe often drifted inside to support the striker. Lambe also plays a part in TFC's high pressure style of play, trying to close down the opposition as quickly as possible when they have the ball.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
It is important that the Fire neutralize Lambe and limit the amount of crosses he is able to send into the box for players like Earnshaw and Andrew Wiedeman.
Prediction: The Fire get what they came to Toronto looking for: 3 points with a 2 nil victory. Goals from Patrick Nyarko and Gonzalo Segares.

Select shots from the Fire's 2-1 loss to Seattle.
SOURCE: USA Today Sports Images
After leaving two points on the field last Sunday, the Fire head to the Pacific Northwest, traditionally not a happy hunting ground of the Men in Red, for a Saturday night matchup with Seattle (9pm CT on NBCSN) . The Sounders are hitting form at the right time, surging to six wins in their last seven matches. Here are some things to keep an eye out for from a tactical perspective.
Taking advantage of speed – hitting Seattle on the counter attack
The Fire's bread and butter in away matches is the counter attack, lulling teams into a false sense of security and allowing them to push men forward before forcing a turnover and countering with numbers. A number of factors contribute to this.
In midfield, the likes of Jeff Larentowicz, Arevalo Rios, Alex, Logan Pause and Daniel Paladini are very capable of forcing turnovers by applying pressure or reading the game and intercepting passes. With Rios away on international duty, Alex, Pause and Paladini will battle it out for the central midfield berth.
Alex is equally capable playing on the outside, and with him, Nyarko and Dilly Duka, the Fire have ample speed for to push the break. In attack, I expect the Fire to stick with Rolfe and Magee again due to their quickness.
Juan Luis Anangono is also an option but if the Fire go with the counter attack strategy, there is no need to a target striker in the starting eleven.
Taking advantage of set pieces – punishing Seattle on free kicks and corners
WATCH: Anibaba, Segares talk Saturday's match
In Seattle's last three or so matches the Sounders have been very sloppy defending set pieces. In the second half of last Wednesday's match against Chivas in particular, the LA team could have easily scored two or even three goals from free kicks, but for some better finishing.
The Fire worked quite a bit on set pieces at training on Thursday, clearly seeing Seattle's obvious issues in that area. The Men in Red scored their first goal from a corner in last week's match against Houston, and with Magee and Duka putting balls in and players like Austin Berry and Larentowicz challenging in the box, the Fire certainly have the ability to cause the Sounders more problems in this area.
Keeping an eye on Rosales and Yedlin – set pieces and crosses from wide
Seattle are a similar team to Sporting KC with both teams having a very dangerous creative midfielder, as well as outside defenders that like to get forward and get crosses in the box.
Though he hasn't started every match for the team Mauro Rosales leads the Sounders with seven assists, two more than American Brad Evans. Rosales' favorite target to look for from set pieces and crosses has been Eddie Johnson, picking the American out for a number of headed goals in recent matches. Johnson will also be missing on Saturday but Rosales has a plethora of other players to look for.
Rosales also has the rare ability to put dangerous balls into the box from deep positions, especially on free kicks. Seattle's Homegrown defender Deandre Yedlin has had an absolutely stellar rookie year, even being named to the MLS All-Star team. He combines well on the right with another missing player for Seattle, Brad Evans.
Without him, Yedlin will be required to pick up the slack. As with the Kansas City match, the Fire players must not pay too much attention to Rosales and neglect Yedlin because if he is given time and space, it could be costly.
Prediction: Mike Magee gets back on track and the Fire win 1-0.

I recently asked Bollywood Dance instructor Prakash Mohandas to write about Bollywood. Hope you enjoy what he has to say…
I am going to start this blog with the same question I ask in my classes, what do you know about Bollywood Dance?
The most common answers include Slumdog Millionaire, So You Think You Can Dance and a gesture of a light bulb being turned with one hand while squashing a bug with one foot.
My response to their comments, in this order, is always, "Wrong," "Well, kinda" and "Are you serious?"
While the majority of people aren't really sure how to define Bollywood, occasionally I come across the true Bollywood fan. This person names all the movies he or she has seen, to the amazement of the rest of the class.
At this point an explanation is required as to why we're talking about movies in a dance class. Bollywood is the name given to the Hindi film industry in India which primarily operates out of a city called Bombay (now Mumbai). So with Bombay being the self-proclaimed Hollywood of India, the term Bollywood was coined! Isn't it ingenious?
So what exactly is Bollywood Dance and where did it come from?
Bollywood dance is, in essence, Indian film dance centered around music from Hindi movies. Bollywood dance is defined more by the music than by the dance style itself.
Bollywood dance is a genre that draws inspiration from various dance styles such as Bhangra, Folk dance, Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary and more. The choreography of a Bollywood song and the steps that go into it are governed by the music it's set to and how these dance styles can effectively be used to communicate the music. The advantage of this diverse dance form is that it gives the freedom for the choreography of Bollywood song to range from slow to upbeat and classical to contemporary. This is what makes it fun! In fact, there is one thing that is common to any kind of Bollywood number—energy!
So now that you really know what Bollywood dance is all about come check out the Bollywood choreography and Bollywood fitness classes on Monday and Thursdays.
Do you hear Bollywood calling?

Since the passing of Jerry Garcia in August of 1995, there have been many offshoots, reincarnations and reconfigurations comprised of former members from the Grateful Dead.
Bob Weir keeps on keeping it cheesy with Ratdog, Phil Lesh keeps dropping bombs with Phil Lesh and Friends, and Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann keep drums from going into space with Rhythm Devils. The boys have given us The Other Ones and The Dead; yet nothing has satisfied that itch that just can't seem to be scratched. Brothers and sisters don't despair; you can finally scratch that itch with Furthur tickets while twirlin' to the music that is the air.
Bobby and Phil's project that started in 2009 currently incorporates Jeff Chimenti on keys and Joe Russo on drums with Jeff Pherson and Sunshine Becker (Jerry's daughter) thrown in for good measure. The main ingredient in this mix just might be John Kadlecik, formerly of Dark Star Orchestra. Kadlecik so eerily echoes Jerry that if you close your eyes it just could be the boys in all their glory.
Jam band lovers will dig Furthur as these guys are notorious for their jams. Deadheads will get a brief flashback to the days of old while hearing the sweetness of "China Doll" like it hasn't been sung in over 10 years. Grateful Dead aficionados who love the music but never got the chance to see a Dead show, this is as close as you'll ever get. Whoever you are, don't miss your chance to see Furthur live in concert.
