Alanis Morissette: Pregnancy Was a Surprise
Surprise! Alanis Morissette admitted her pregnancy -- which she confirmed first to Us Weekly -- was unplanned on Chelsea Lately Wednesday night.
PHOTOS: Stars who are pregnant this summer
"I thought I wasn't. In passing, I said I was a little late. The doctor said, 'Is that normal?' [I said], 'No, not really typical for me,'" says Morissette, 36, who wed rapper Mario "Souleye" Treadway, 30, last May. After the doctor took a look, he said, "This looks like the screen of a pregnant lady. And I said, 'There's still a chance that I'm not though, yes?'" Morissette goes on. "And he said, 'Yeah, about the chance that I'm getting a sex change!'"
PHOTOS: 90s stars - Where are they now?
"I was happy," says Morissette, who is five months along. "I'm glowing!" Morissette also reveals how she was introduced to her husband."We met at a meditation ceremony at my house. He walked in and I thought, 'Wow, he's incredibly sexy!' but I had no idea what was to come of our little connection," she says. "He's awesome."She's currently writing a book, but it won't touch upon her contentious split from Dave Coulier, which inspired the lyrics to her hit "You Oughta Know"
PHOTOS: Alanis and other stars' hot summer romances
"It's a very stream-of-consciousness book: philosophy, Q&A, not a memoir... I have no desire to rehash or tell the story of my story... ever!" she jokes.Chelsea Handler also asks if Morissette supports legalizing marijuana."I enjoy it sometimes, but not while I'm pregnant, obviously!" says the singer.

Navy head coach's playbook of principles
U.S. Naval Academy
Walk past the football coach's office Monday around 4 a.m., and you will find him alone, his back to the door, studying a book on his desk. It's in the quiet solitude of those predawn hours that Navy's head man, Ken Niumatalolo, becomes immersed in his playbook.
Not his football strategies, his scriptural playbook, the Book of Mormon.
"It's his personal time. No one will bother him until he turns back forward in his desk," said Barbara Niumatalolo, the coach's wife. "If something touches him, he goes back to it during the day. It's usually something he needs to hear to prepare him for that day."
Daily scripture study is just one of many key strategies in Niumatalolo's personal playbook of principles. Devotion to family, church service and living the gospel have helped the Mormon coach endure the rigors and stress of the college coaching lifestyle from Hawaii to Annapolis, Md., for almost two decades. Much of his success can be traced to something he learned at an early age.
"For me, growing up as a member of the church, I always knew as long as you are obedient, the Lord will bless you and everything will work out," Niumatalolo said. "Gospel principles are universal."
Putting the Lord first
Niumatalolo was born the fifth of seven children to Simi and Lamala Niumatalolo, who moved to Hawaii from American Samoa. He grew up in a small, tin-roof house on stilts 200 yards off the north shore of Oahu. His father worked for the Coast Guard before retiring to work in food services at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Two grandmothers and an uncle lived with the family, so space was limited. The family held tight to its Samoan roots.
"We weren't rich, but we weren't poor," Niumatalolo said.
Niumatalolo led Radford High to a state title as a junior and finished his senior year 22-1 as the starting quarterback, then accepted a scholarship to the University of Hawaii. But even as his college career began, Niumatalolo felt out of place.
"I had accomplished my goal of getting a Division I scholarship but still wasn't happy, and I knew why," the coach said. "I was trying to mask the feeling that I needed to go on a mission."
He submitted his papers and was called to speak Spanish in Ventura, Calif. From many lessons, a theme emerged that would stay with him for the rest of his life: "As you put the Lord first, everything else will work out."
Listen to the Spirit
The mission also helped Niumatalolo keep life in perspective when he returned to football in Hawaii. Despite his best efforts, he was relegated to the No. 2 quarterback position and rarely saw the field for three years. In the waning games of his senior year in 1989, Niumatalolo knew his playing days were over.
By then he was married and had a young daughter. He needed a job.
Sports broadcasting appealed to him, and he had a communications degree, but opportunities in the Islands were limited.
Then Hawaii offensive coordinator Paul Johnson suggested he apply for a graduate assistant position under coach Bob Wagner. Niumatalolo had seen other graduate assistants work for years without landing a full-time job. The monthly stipend was $350 to $400, and rent for their apartment was twice that, Barbara Niumatalolo recalled.
The couple knew it wouldn't be easy but decided to give it a shot. Their plan called for Barbara to become the breadwinner, and Ken had two years to get a full-time coaching job or it was back to the real world.
"His dream was to get me home so I could raise our children," Barbara said.

cgarrard: Changed the focus distance with firmware. Now that is interesting. Why did they hold back this whole time? Shouldn't that have been available since day one or, am I just totally missing something here?
I am a long time Nikon shooter and have had A LOT of Nikon cameras and lenses (stilll have, but fewer) and for me it is clear:
Nikon does NOT make the best they can ( I thought they did the first years I was a Nikon shooter), they are afraid it will cannibaliize other cameras, so therefore we sometimes get not so good stuff.
But another thing: I had the A for 14 days, and I loved the colors and the interface was easy for a Nikon shooter, but suddenly dust turned op in the pictures, and I was also not so happy with the AF, at least it could be better, so I send it back and bought the GR, and it is good, very good, but:
I miss the Nikon colors, so IF the AF is better now, I could think about buying it again, therefore I hope anybody could answer this question:
HAVE anybody tryed the AF after the update ???
umanemo: This throws me, why is it that the DPR; NEX 7 image sample blows away the RX1r sample. In fact that NEX 7 sample blows away just about every studio sample - even the 800e?
I almost qualified the NEX 7 for purchase just for this reason, but the real world of the NEX just didn't stack up. Did DPR just get everything right in the NEX 7 studio test? They really botched the FUJI X's in that case.
NEX vs OMD vs FUJI X... You guessed it. I'm very astounded by the IQ of my X-E1. I'll "Keep the Change!"
Portable "Red Dot" I.Q., for allot less "M"oney!
You are right - the Nex 7 blows everything away in this comparison - I only say this here, because I wanted the Sony Rx1r, but now after looking at the comparison shots in the test ??
Added later: But try to look not just at the comparison, but also the sample gallery as I just did after this post - the RX1(r) has a character that the Nex-7 does not have - there is a certain "touch" I like.
Dr Ram: Waiting, waiting and waiting announced, disappointed and again one more time. What it means to be a nature and wildlife photographers and hold D7100? Nikon just added another between 7000 & 300s. There are quality additions in terms of 24mp, ISO, AF sensitivity, 51 focus points, expeed 3 processor and removal of low pass filter (?). But the bigger disappointment is frame speed, extremely low buffer, no CF card slot and no tenpin slot for remote trigger. It does not make sense for sports and wildlife because of 24mp coupled with good ISO range producing big RAW files with mediocre buffer having to content with slow SD cards. How to cope with action shooting when the buffer is full and you miss most of the action? Shoot 6 images in one second, the camera buffers and you wait for 30-40 seconds for the file transfer. Just see that you miss 30x6=180 images (approximate) of intense action and then experience the frustration. I think Nikon is playing with customers.
Still waiting for D400!
You are right this BUFFER is insane slow - slower than D7000, and it was/is very slow.
Yes more pixels, but the buffer has to follow the developement.
Perhaps you can shoot in the new 1,3 mode and get faster buffer, but then you have a small "window" to look through.
The 6 fps. is fine (as the D7000), but not with this slow buffer - think about it= slower than the D7000, the developement in the pixels is not worth it, if the rest does not follow, ...at least not for sport and birding/wildlife, and what does a faster buffer cost ? - Not much, I think, just more RAM, I presume.
I could live with the rest you mentioned, but not this insane slow buffer.
The 8mm focuses quickly, accurately and near-silently, just as we've come to expect from Panasonic's Lumix lenses. It shows fairly pronounced focus breathing, with the angle of view getting narrower on focusing closer. This has little practical impact, but does result in a visible 'jitter' during autofocusing when used on the Olympus bodies.""
What does :
"......but does result in a visible 'jitter' during autofocusing when used on the Olympus bodies.""
mean ?
Ignace: Some background: I'm a proud owner of an old OM system. Bought my first digital (Olympus E-30) last year. Great camera. Ridiculously horrific ownwer's manual--pure garbage.
New to digital, I needed something that a human being could actually understand. Based on the garbage manual, I swore that I would never buy another Olympus camera.
Then, doing research on the Nikon D7000, I noticed the new Olympus EM-5. Based on the exhaustive DPREVIEW, the quality of the pictures is better than any APS-C camera available for comparison! (If I'm correct, the otherwise excellent review should have made this point clearly!)
So, I am seriously considering the EM-5. Before I hit my head against the wall again, however, I wonder if you, more experienced EM-5 users, could help me with some info:
--Is the Owner's Manual actually comprehensible, or another piece of garbage?
--Can anyone confirm that the Leica lenses used by the Lumix cameras are also "AOK" for the EM-5?
Thank you so much!
Yes, it is more even, but some details are better from the Oly M5, I think

The character as written had no internal life, and he wouldn't let me give him one. He's now going to write it as a novel.
Sounds a bit like the "Lindisfarne" storyline in

This is a great thread. It is amazing how many different paths people take to get them to their station. Ive really been enjoying all the stories and feel like jumping in. Do I do the edited version? Or do I simply go with the Cliffs Notes? Hmmm Where to begin
I had a Great Grandfather who owned one of the early portrait photography studios in Detroit. Im not sure how early, but I have found a page in a city directory from the 1890s with his studio address. Anyway, from this my Dad and his brothers had intense and varied interests in photography as well as all the gear to go with. Photography was just part of the family to me. One of my earlier memories was of this huge and fascinating contraption in my Uncles basement a 4x5 enlarger. Needless to say it all stuck.
By age 12, I was mixing my own chemicals, processing my film and contact printing. (Still have the box). When finally in high school I was offered photography as an elective, I jumped at it. School paper and yearbook were next, then weekly newspapers when I got a drivers license. I was like Les... there were literally thousands of little prints and tearsheets everywhere. (Unfortunately, I still have many of them as well!)
From there it was to college and the BFA, but not before dropping out for a stint in New York as an assistant. I had met a great photographer whom I had admired that had been brought to America from Ireland by none other than Richard Avedon in the early 60s to assist. That was at a Fred Picker workshop in 1981. We hit it off and he invited me to come to NY and assist and print for him. I was gone in a second! New York offered a wonderful substitute for school and I learned more that year about photography and the business of it than any other period of my life. New York wasnt for me though and I returned here to Michigan, finished school and built my own corporate/editorial business doing magazine and annual report work for the next 20 or so years. Oh yes and A LOT of rock and roll work. How could I forget all that mess!
Like many of you, my personal work was what I was most interested in. I had been lucky enough in my high school years to have nearby one of the oldest photography galleries in the country The Halsted Gallery. It gave me an appreciation of the greats and made me believe there was more to photography than the usual. I visited often and THAT is what I truly wanted to do. All the commercial work has been done with the idea it would fund my personal aspirations of being a gallery photographer. That was harder than I thought as it turns out. It is extremely hard to do both, but I kept the dream alive until finally getting the guts to take my work to Halsted. I was told they didnt handle local photographers and that all my years as a commercial photographer meant nothing in the fine art world. I kept at it though and they finally took me on a temporary basis. Later that year, in New York, they sold the first print. It all got better from there and thankfully, has grown and expanded ever since. So far I have been very fortunate in being able to make the change to my more personal work, though I still do the occasional commercial job for old clients. Always hard to close the door on good money after struggling for so long! To this day it is hard for me to turn down a job.
Thanks for bearing with me if you made it this far! Sorry to be so long winded, but it was a good mind exercise to figure out just how I got here.
Keep up the stories!

Then photography sort of picked me.
I was a part of a small photo show, got some small odd gigs which sealed the deal. Then bumped into an incredible still life shooter I assisted for 2.5 years. Learned a lot there, and was able to do a lot of experimenting and make good money.
Moved to NYC to give the top a try, and that's were I'm at now. Shooting fashion and portraiture and the odd weddings. Actually just shot my first celebrity tear last week, which I was excited about.
I'm 26. For the most part I don't feel like I know anything. Having fun though.
Except I'm always broke and breaking gear.
Enjoying the stories - makes great reading.
Hmmm Bill. If I'd known you were that famous I would have swapped a print. :pQuote:

I've had two careers as a photographer, the first being 25 years as an advertising/editorial photographer and the second current career as an "art" photographer.
I had an interest in photography and sculpture during my high school years. In my last semester I enrolled in an internship program where I assisted 4 NYC advertising and editorial photographers who shared a studio. I continued to assist them and other photographers in the summer leading to my enrollment as a photography major at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and while attending classes. I found that I was learning far more by assisting than by going to school. So in my second year at SVA I dropped out to assist (only to find myself back at SVA 6 years later as an instructor). I also continued to work on my personal photography and had my first NYC solo show at the now long gone Third Eye Gallery, I was 18. That would be he last solo show of my work for 25 years.
During this time I was also shooting assignments for the Village Voice, back when it was more of a real newspaper. I was continually assisting, mostly freelance which provided me with the broadest education having had the opportunity to work with many skilled, and some highly acclaimed photographers. I learned what it meant to be a professional from them. I was also bringing my portfolio to magazines and at 19 got my first magazine assignment, shooting B&W urban landscapes for NY Magazine. A few months later I shot my first national magazine cover, a color urban landscape for Saturday Review Magazine, followed 6 months later by a second cover for them.
I was getting more and more assignments to shoot and having less and less time available as an assistant so at age 20 I became a shooter full time. By age 21 I took a studio share on Fifth Ave. I didn't think much would come of it but it would be an opportunity to work on my portfolio. I didn't think I'd last six months and I was right because after 3 months, the guy who's studio it was felt the studio wasn't large enough for 2 photographers shooting so many jobs. I then got my own studio, 2000 square feet off of fifth ave on 24th street. (btw this is where I first met Bill Schwab) When I signed the lease I was terrified, I had never made such a large financial commitment in my life. My days of shooting my personal work were now over, I had a substantial monthly nut. My focus would be commercial work.
Fast forward 20 years, 2 more far larger studios, a few thousand assignments and my mid life re-examination. I turn 40 and realize that for the last 20 years I have not used a camera unless I was being paid. So in 1998 I decide to try my hand at some southwestern landscape and I make a few trips out west. In 2000 my wife suggests that I join a local co-op gallery and show my landscape work. I figure that it will at least give me a reason to print my work but I had little expectation when it came to sales or public reaction. My second solo show, with the 25 year pause in between, opens in april of 2001. (btw I met John "Jovo" Voss in person here) The reaction and sales shock me. People, total strangers are buying my work, a lot of it. Nearly selling out all the images, with some images selling 3-4 times, and at $500 a print and no expenses I'm making money that is hard to ignore. So while my show is on going and feeling emboldened I take my portfolio to some galleries in Manhattan. Two galleries express serious interest and want me to come back for additional meetings, the third gallery offers me representation on the spot. By the end of the week my work is on the walls of the Edward Carter Gallery, hanging contently between prints by Ansel Adams. This is the end of one career and the beginning of another. In late 2002 I officially close my NYC studio.
jovo gets a gold star for this thread :)

One of the reasons I started my website, Marlothomas.com, is that I wanted a place for women (including me!) to come together and dream. Women should know that they don't have to hang on to an old dream that has stopped nurturing them -- that there is always time to start a new dream. In that spirit, I'm so excited to introduce a new series called "It Ain't Over," profiling women who have pursued -- and fulfilled -- their dreams and passions, no matter what their age or circumstances. I find these stories endlessly inspiring. I hope you do too.
By Lori Weiss
In her open-air studio -- where the floors are a deep shade of red, the walls a brilliant tangerine, and sparkling strands of gems form a rainbow of color -- Lee Gelb has created a space that will make you feel as if you've been transported to another continent. And in a way, you have.
From her converted garage on an island off the coast of Seattle, just a twenty-minute ferry ride from the spacious office she once occupied as a Senior Vice President at Starbucks, Lee is changing lives a world away, one bracelet, pendant or pair of earrings at a time.
"I asked myself, What would you do if you knew you would succeed?" Lee recalls. "I was at a point in my life where I simply needed more meaning. I had the cute sports car. I had the great beach house. I was very lucky, and I knew I wanted to do something that gave back to people who were less fortunate than me."
So Lee did what many people think about, but few have the nerve to do. At 47, she walked away from her big corporate job to find her passion. "I literally said out loud, 'I'm giving you permission to take some time off and figure this out and find out what inspires you.' But I was a single mom with a 14-year-old boy, so I couldn't sit under a tree and meditate. Instead, I did some consulting, but at the same time, I started making lists of the things I loved."
That list led Lee back to her days in college, where she began her career as a relief worker in Third World countries like Bangladesh and Haiti; and to her childhood, when she played endlessly with her grandmother's jewelry and roamed the woods surrounding her family's home -- in search of rocks that sparkled.
"I kept thinking about the artisans I'd met overseas," she says, "and how beautiful their crafts were -- yet how they struggled to get by. And I knew I could help."
So Lee recruited her former boss at Starbucks, Shelley Milano, to help her build a business plan, one that would be the foundation for a gem and jewelry business that would support struggling artists in developing countries. They formed Zavida Gemstones and, along with it, a mission: to give 25 percent of their profits back to the areas where the gems they sold had been mined, and where the artisans worked.
"I started doing research and calling friends who work for non-profits around the world," she explains, "and they led me to the village of Bhuj, India -- an artisan community known for its exquisite work -- that had virtually been destroyed during an earthquake in 2001."
While relief organizations had helped many of the artists get back on their feet, the silversmiths there were still struggling. "It was thought that many of them were well off, since silver is more expensive than materials like mud or leather," Lee says sadly. "But their homes, just like everyone else's, had been destroyed, and everything was looted. For generations, these families had created beautiful silver pieces -- it was all they knew -- and now they were working in brick fields."
It wasn't long before Lee sold her beloved sports car and beach home. She and Shelley then compiled their frequent flyer miles, and the two set off for India. Their plan: to offer micro-finance loans to the families, so they could upgrade their tools and equipment and begin selling their wares beyond the immediate region.
"Let's be clear," Lee says laughing, "this trip did not include five-star hotels and gallery visits. For five dollars extra, we got a shower curtain in our hotel room and, on a good day, we got hot water!"
With the help of a kind stranger named Meera, who at the time was involved with the village's weaving project, Lee and Shelley met with families who had lost their homes and businesses. They talked with them about fair trade and helped them redesign the nose rings and ankle bracelets they'd sold locally for generations -- turning them into earrings and bracelets that they could sell around the world. And then they returned home to write a check.
"It would have taken us three years to fund this project if we'd waited until our business was up and running," Lee says with a hint of frustration in her voice. "So we decided to go into our own bank accounts. I was driving to the bank, saying out loud, 'How much do you believe in this project? I believe! How much do you believe? Do you believe $20,000 worth?' And I did believe. We'd only met these families in India once, but I believed."
Five years later, that belief has paid off. Fifteen families are now supplying Zavida Gemstones with beautiful handcrafted silver jewelry and selling their crafts around the world. And Meera, the kind stranger who'd helped Lee and Shelley find their way in a new land, now oversees Zavida's partnerships in India.
"In 2006, the kids of the artisan families had no interest in pursuing the family business," Lee says. "Why would they? They had no assets. But now they're seeing that there is a future. We've played a part in saving a disappearing art form, but just as important, we've inspired a disappearing generation, showing them that there really is a livelihood in this."
And that inspiration continues to grow, as does Zavida. The company is now importing gemstones and working with more than 30 artisans from around the world. They've established a scholarship for the children of the artists they work with, and Lee is creating her own designs.
"I don't want to try to convince anyone that running a small business in America is easy these days," says Lee, "but if you work hard and persevere, you can make things happen. We've proven that what's good for business can be good for people.
"I get such a sense of well being from this, and isn't that what we all want -- for our friends, for our kids and for ourselves? Don't we all want to find the meaning in life?"
The work of the silversmiths of Bhuj and Zavida's other artisans from around the world is available at ZavidaGemstones.com.
Zavida is always looking for unique stones and beads from all over the world. Lee found glass pearls at this shop in the Bhuj market in India.
Bangles are ubiquitous throughout India -- wearing many on both arms is the norm! Here, Lee visits with one of the bangle artists in Delhi, India.
Lee holds the mold for a traditional gold necklace made by artisans in a workshop in India.

This pronounced pearl-shaped tourmaline pendant, surrounded by a constellation of diamonds, is well suited for a ceremonial or memorable occasion. It was inspired by jewelry from the Moghul period -- a time when the food was rich, the architecture was ornate and the jewelry was extraordinary.
This artisan designs and makes several different traditional styles of earrings for Zavida. He is blowing into a pipe torch which solders silver.

Women work in groups to design and make bangles created from a substance called "lac". This group of artisans is from Jaipur, India.
Ankle bracelets worn by nomadic men and women are heavy, solid silver. These designs are used for Zavida jewelry pieces, but are modified for the western market.
These sweet silver earrings seemingly pay homage to celestial landscapes. In India, the celestial image is core to the nomadic belief system - that by wearing it, one will always be happy and healthy. Handcrafted by Zavida artisans, the simple design is perfect for everyday wear and measures 1 inch in length.

85% of the world's gemstones are faceted in India. Strands of carnelian, peridot, moonstone, tiger's eye and garnet are among the gems displayed here.

Gold jewelry in high carat is highly valued in India. Necklaces are created by artisans based on traditional designs that have been passed down through the ages.
Sterling silver and garnet earrings -- designed and handmade in India.
Zavida takes traditional designs and then modifies the proportions for the Western market. This woman's nose ring inspired smaller earrings and her necklace was used as a template for smaller bangle bracelets.
Navaratna means the nine gemstones. Each gem in this bracelet corresponds to a planet which has it's own healing properties. The ruby is always in the middle -- representing the sun which is the source of all energy. In India, you may wear the stone for the planet you were born under or you may wear all nine stones. This piece is 18k gold and the stones are ruby, diamond, pearl, coral, cat's eye, sapphire, moonstone, emerald, hessonite garnet and enamel. It was designed and handmade in India.
The hoop earrings, accented with red and green glass (pictured left) were inspired by a nose ring traditionally worn by nomadic and semi-nomadic women of Gujarat. Zavida relies on the artisans to translate the original designs to pieces that are appropriate for the western market.
Pinal gold earrings and glass pendant from India in 22k gold.
Silversmith artisans work in family units. Zavida's experience is that women make the jewelry, and contribute valuable design and style ideas to the process. Here Lee is pictured with a Zavida artisan family in Bhuj, India.
Jewelry molds serve a multitude of purposes in the jewelry making process. The molds, made from brass, are used for design and as weights to be used on one side of the scale, when weighing precious metal.
Inspired by ancient designs passed down through generations of silversmith families, this striking pendant necklace is handcrafted by Zavida artisans. The silver pendant measures 1.75" and lies boldly on a black leather cord.
This is pink tourmaline prior to being faceted. Pink tourmaline is mined in several countries. This was shipped in its natural form from Brazil to India for faceting.
Bangle bracelets from Greece made with 18k gold and sterling silver. The bracelet pictured left is studded with pink tourmaline, the bracelet on the right with blue topaz.

Its obvious to everyone that Marc has the fastest bike out there and yet hes no heavier than Luthi or Espargaro. Its always been that way and it will continue to be that way when he joins the big leagues, MotoGP is fixed, at least in WSBK they tried to make the field a little more even this year with a better tire selection for the 4's. 1 agree 1 disagree

More South Carolinians will travel for this year's Memorial Day weekend, traditionally the start of the summer travel season.
The AAA Carolinas motor club estimates that 443,550 state residents will hit the road over the long weekend, up 1.5 percent over last year, with sharply lower gas prices contributing to the increase.
The average gas price in South Carolina today - $3.24 for a gallon of unleaded regular - is lowest in the United States, AAA said, and down 10 cents a gallon from the same date in 2012. ...

A couple of weeks ago, maybe 20 minutes after we walked in the door from a two-week trip, Kristen yelled from the kitchen for me to come quickly. I found her pointing out the window in shock, and followed her finger out across the trees of the canyon behind our Redding home,

Mike, what up did you move out here to Vegas? I'm fighting in Costa Rica Dec. 19th Hermes Franca and Alberto Crane are also on the same card. So it should be good. Good luck in your fight bro.
11/25/10 4:11 PM by MIKE CIESNOLEVICZ
MFC is a great organization. Mark Pavelich gets a bad rep at times but I like him and his family personally. My gf is Canadan, only a few hrs from MFC. It would have been cool so her family/friends could see me compete live. I like the 225 lb catchweight cruiserweight fights best. Maybe in the future if we could workout a deal. I'm focused on being part of the Shine family right now!
11/25/10 4:05 PM by MIKE CIESNOLEVICZ
Thanks bro! I don't wanna talk about the specifics of the Shine deal yet but I believe in them. Jason Chambers was a fighter, I can relate to that. He knows what's up and what it's like.
11/25/10 3:32 PM by RickMartelsArrogance
Mike C vs Glover Teixeira @ 205 would kick ass too!
11/25/10 3:31 PM by RickMartelsArrogance
I hear ya, I just found it weird because Shine has screwed some people over in the recent past. Is your deal with Shine exclusive? I read recently that MFC is looking into starting to book heavies (are you planning on fighting HW in the future or sticking with LHW?). I'd love to see a Mike C vs Todd Duffee matchup @ 265 whether it's in Shine, MFC, or wherever as long as its televised. I've been a fan of yours since the IFL days and am still pissed Zuffa cut you after the Drwal loss because you missed weight yet they keep habitual weight missers like Alves and Rumble around.
11/25/10 3:25 PM by Jweinberg

We stayed for a week at hotel reitlwirt and our ski holiday there. It is an absolute top-hotel. The reviews and stars are definitely deserved. The hotel is right on the main thoroughfare in Hotel Brixen. We had a room right next to the road, but take the few traffic not true. Up to the ski lift is about 1300 meter The ski bus stops every couple of minutes directly in front of the hotel (there is a bus stop). In the hotel there is a ski storage room, in which one its things store. The rooms were large and ... well furnished. The bathroom was also nice and very clean. All meals in the restaurant are good. We had booked half-board. For breakfast there was a rich buffet with a large selection. Also without surcharge egg dishes (fried eggs with bacon, omelets, etc.) freshly prepared. Evenings there was a 4 - course dinner with a choice of dishes. These mostly consisted of bread and spreads, a salad buffet, a soup, a choice main course (a choice of 3 dishes) and dessert. You can say, that it is high quality prepared dishes, wilmington. We were with the restaurant was very good. The waiters were simply great. Competent, friendly and always ready for fun. We felt very comfortable. In the basement of the hotel there was a spa area with infrared cabin, finnish sauna and steam room. Everything is free of charge and get a lend-bathrobe could you at the front desk. Overall, we were thrilled by the hotel. We will be recommending this hotel and will be back.! read hotel review

We had in the 'reitlwirt' a very enjoyable holiday and can only recommend the hotel. Our room with balcony was roomy, always very clean and the location to the mountain side, also quiet. Breakfast buffet was ok, the food in the restaurant was very good, 2 time à la carte dinner. The breakfast room is a little simply furnished, here we would have wished ourselves somewhat more 'tyrolean atmosphere' desired. It was our first stay at the 'reitlwirt' and certainly not the last. read hotel review

Students should keep several things in mind when deciding whether to do an internship. First, you must decide if you can fit it in your schedule. A typical 3 credit hour internship takes up about 15 hours a week of your time (10 working/placement hours, travel time, writing journals, and the internship seminar). Also, you should have a good idea of what exactly you are looking for in terms of what career you would like to pursue or experience you would like to have. For example, if you are interested in pursuing a career in urban planning then interning for a law office might not be all that helpful. Do not simply take any internship opportunity; it is well worth it to take your time and explore many options before deciding on a particular internship.
Beyond career explorations an internship may provide an opportunity to experience grassroots politics, particularly during election seasons, but also through many non-profit community organizing groups.
The placement contacts on this site have been organized by area of interest, as seen in our searchable Excel Spreadsheet.
In addition the State of Michigan has its own internship program. Another helpful site is Intern in Michigan, which is an online matchmaking site for Michigan's college students and employers, a Web site that links students looking for summer jobs with employers looking for summer help.
The Michigan Local Government Managers Association also has an excellent list of internship opportunities.
Another great resources for students is Idealist. Please look under the "volunteer" and "internship" section of the site.
Students should feel free to find other internship placements beyond those listed on the web site, but you should discuss these with Dr. Rosenfeld and obtain his approval.
It is important to start your search for an internship placement at least a full semester prior to the semester in which you plan to do your internship! And if you're interested in something in Washington, DC or abroad, you should begin your search a full year in advance, as many of these opportunities are competitive and require applications long in advance of the start dates. Now is the time to begin to think seriously about doing an internship during the Winter 2011 semester. We are experiencing a record number of students in internships as students are aware of the potential link between an internship and great jobs after graduation. When I ask our students why there are so many doing internships, the overwhelming response is to prepare themselves for jobs after graduation!
This should give you some idea about how many different kinds of internships are possible: political campaigns, administrative agencies of Federal, state and local governments, lobbying, courts, public defenders, public safety, and many different kinds of nonprofits. Also, if you are in the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) Program, you can receive academic credit for your required internship.
If you are interested in an internship for an upcoming semester, email me with your interest, and we can set up an advising appointment.

The cares of the work-a-day world will drift away as you experience the tranquility of a Summer Twilight at Graycliff.
Frank Lloyd Wright imbued his design of Graycliff with what he called "repose": the simplicity and calm of splendid architecture set amidst verdant acres of grounds on the brim of the lake.
Graycliff's rich history and architectural splendor, set against the serenity of Lake Erie, can be yours for a summer twilight. Listen to the sounds of the water lapping against the shore, the cool breeze rustling the tall old trees, the birds calling each to each.

Darwin and Isabelle Martin had two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright: their city home, the Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo (1903-05) and the Graycliff Estate, their summer home on Lake Erie in nearby Derby (1926-31). Both are open for tours, although they operate independently. You can save on your admission at both sites when you purchase a combination ticket to the Darwin D. Martin House complex and to the Graycliff Estate. Your purchase can be made at either historic site and has no expiration date - so you can tour both in one day - or save one for a future visit.
Four combination ticket packages available (prices not valid on group tours)
- Basic one-hour tour of the Darwin Martin House and one-hour tour of Graycliff - $29 (value $33)
- In-depth tour (2 hours) of both the Darwin Martin House and Graycliff - $63 (value $67)
- In-depth tour of Darwin Martin House and basic tour of Graycliff - $47 (value $51)
- Basic tour of Darwin Martin House and In-depth tour of Graycliff - $45 (value $49)
Reservations are required at each site separately. The Darwin Martin House is located at 125 Jewett Parkway, Buffalo, a scenic 30-minute drive from Graycliff. Contact Graycliff to make your reservation at 716-947-9217 Graycliff Tour Reservation and the Martin House at 716-856-3858 or Darwin Martin House.
From Buffalo, we recommend taking the Skyway to Route 5, then Old Lakeshore Rd to Graycliff. (This is both shorter and more scenic than the NYS Thruway.) There are plenty of places for lunch along the way, with view of Lake Erie.
Please use Mapquest rather than a GPS system, which often give wrong directions to Graycliff.
Want Graycliff all to yourself? You and your guests (up to 6 people) will experience Wright's lake-side masterpiece in an intimate and leisurely tour led by a Master Docent. Tour the three buildings and expansive grounds of this historic complex in a small group that will allow ample time for a personalized, one-of-a-kind experience. This is the perfect gift for the Frank Lloyd Wright aficionado who has everything, for that once-in-a-lifetime visit, or to thank someone for something special.
We welcome your social group, church group or even a large family outing for a tour of Graycliff.
We also welcome tours organized by professional private tour operators.
School groups are welcome at Graycliff, too, for ages 10 and up.
Please contact Shannon at 716-947-9217 or email her about group tours for more information.
