Movie review: 'Girl Who Played With Fire' labors under middle-child syndrome
Fueled by copious jolts of strong coffee and propelled by the chilly – and chilling – Nordic sensibility of its late creator Stieg Larsson, "The Girl Who Played With Fire" delivers an appropriately pulpy if not wholly fulfilling second cinematic chapter in the author's hugely popular Millennium trilogy.
Not as grippingly seductive or fully creepy as Niels Arden Oplev's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," veteran Swedish TV director Daniel Alfredson's version of the second book suffers slightly from a middle-child syndrome. It's not as surprising or startlingly fresh as the first film, yet it leaves us anticipating an exhilarating climax in the third ("The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest," due up next in American markets).
"The Girl Who Played With Fire" (in Swedish with subtitles) picks up a year after the first film, when Lisbeth Salander (the perfectly cast Noomi Rapace) returns to Stockholm after a year underground. In a tight series of events, this fierce, freaky brainiac with genius hacker skills and zero social graces finds herself implicated in three brutal murders (seems they found her fingerprints on the gun).
So, in essence, the story concerns efforts by her old friend, knight-errant journalist Mikael Blomkvist (appealingly world-weary Michael Nyqvist), to exonerate Lisbeth and in the process uncover a tangled web of sex trafficking and decades-old conspiracy that taps into Lisbeth's dark, inflammatory history of violence and sexual abuse.
A great deal of the appeal in Larsson's moody crime writing is in hanging out with this odd pair of crime solvers (his anti Nick and Nora Charles, if you will) – Mikael oblique, noble, virile and bemused; Lisbeth all sharp edges, explosive rage and raw pain.
But unfortunately the two spend little time in each other's company as this tangled tale unspools and as an exaggerated raft of evil villains strive to impede their progress, and worse.
Certainly Alfredson and screenwriter Jonas Frykberg (who also adapted the trilogy's third book for Swedish film) do an able job of paring down big blocks of exposition and subplot from the book while still holding on to the essential mystery and icy atmospherics – the endless espressos, the Ikea furnishings – that lend Larsson's work its distinctive Scandinavian noir style.
At heart, "The Girl Who Played With Fire" feels like a good, polished police procedural of the BBC or "Masterpiece Mystery" ilk (think "Prime Suspect" or better still the "Wallander" mysteries, based on the novels of another best-selling Swedish author, Henning Mankell). It's more than good enough to satisfy fans of Larsson's flinty prose and to leave audiences poised for yet another prickly waltz with Lisbeth and Mikael through Stockholm's bleak, wintry backstreets.
Note: The web keeps buzzing about David Fincher's English-language adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," in pre-production for a 2011 release, and it has been announced that Daniel Craig is set to play the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Wild speculation abounds as to who will be cast in the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander, but given the spiky, indelible performance by Noomi Rapace in the Swedish films, whatever ambitious actress lands the role will have some very big combat boots to fill.

Thursday (April 22) was the 34th annual "Earth Day" observance, and, like other progeny of a decade characterized by Robert Ringer's best-selling "Looking Out for No. 1," it is beginning to show its age.
Gallup's annual Earth Day Poll (was it printed on recycled paper?) found that the environment, which once ranked high on the list of concerns for millions of Americans, now resembles a baseball team that has fallen on hard times.
According to Gallup, environmental issues are next to last on a list of people's concerns, finishing just above race relations. Worse news for tree-huggers, 44 percent of those polled said economic concerns should take precedence over protection of the environment. That figure is up from 23 percent in 2000 and 19 percent in 1990.
One of those responsible for shifting opinion to a more balanced relationship between business and the environment is Fred Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Founded 20 years ago at least in part to defend against the more extreme of "the Earth is your Mother" crowd, CEI has brought economic reality, sound science and an understanding of comparative risks to what was, for a while, a mostly one-sided debate.
Smith, who began his counterrevolution in 1984 at his kitchen table, has solid credentials. A former policy analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency, Smith became disaffected when he saw the environment elevated to near religious status with "congregations" full of earth worshippers.
No one who has ever seen a polluted river, or smelled air fouled by factories and cars, or viewed litter by the road could ever be against the environment or in favor of filth. But too many of those collectively known as "environmentalists" went too far, choking and inhibiting progress in the name of a pristine level of cleanliness that will never be achieved as long as humans walk the earth. Anyone who has been greeted in a motel room with a sign asking you to reuse your towel for the sake of the environment is reminded of how far the earth-first crowd has brought us.

Picture: Mick Jagger portrait by Andy Warhol on display at the Rock 'N' Roll celebrity memorabilia Fame Bureau auction at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in...
SIR Mick Jagger has dismissed reports he is to wed his girlfriend L'Wren Scott, after the stylist was seen flaunting a sparkling ring on her engagement finger at a recent (May07) New York fashion event.
Last night (15May07) a spokesman for the British rocker insisted the couple have no plans to get married, despite a friend of Jagger suggesting otherwise.
The pal says, "Mick's really not the sort to have some kind of engagement. If they were going to get married, they would probably just do it.
"Yet it is interesting that L'Wren has on this occasion - a very public event in New York - decided to wear a ring on her engagement finger so obviously.
"If they are not engaged, they are certainly happy for the world to think they are. They are both savvy enough to realise what speculation such a pose may attract."
The Rolling Stones frontman, 63, has been dating 40-year-old Scott for over two years, first going public with their relationship at the 2005 Grammy Awards when Jagger called her his "main point of interest".
Jagger has two failed marriages behind him: he divorced model Bianca Perez Morena de MACias in 1980 after nine years together, and his union to Texan supermodel Jerry Hall was annulled in 1999, putting an end to their 22-year relationship.

GreenStep LEED Online Project Experience
Prepare for a successful career in green building, and prepare to pass the LEED exam, by working on a LEED project with an industry leader.
Alex Spilger, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Cassidy & Turley and founder of GreenStep Education, guides you along the way as you gain the skills and understanding to not only pass the LEED exam, but also build a strong foundation for a successful career in the green building industry.
Program Description
Our students rest assured knowing that GreenStep and Poplar pioneered the concept of online live LEED Professional Project Experience, allowing professionals to work on a LEED project from anywhere, who would not otherwise have access. We are extremely proud that since 2009, over 1,300 industry professionals from over 40 countries have successfully participated on our online LEED projects.
As an active partner and supporter of many local U.S. Green Building Council chapters, Poplar and GreenStep have received an overwhelmingly positive experience for our participants. Indeed, many of our participants have successfully passed the LEED AP exam, started their own LEED consulting practices and moved on to manage dozens of new LEED projects.
Recognizing that it can be challenging for professionals from different time zones to schedule around our San Francisco based project meetings, we developed the online virtual LEED Professional Project Experience Program specifically to allow participants to experience the same level of instructional quality and engagement, while doing so on their own schedules.
LEED Program Structure
Contributing to a LEED project can take many different forms depending on your role on the team. From our experience managing over 100 LEED projects, the most critical skill on a LEED project (and for passing the LEED AP exam) is being able to perform LEED credit calculations, particularly for some of the more challenging LEED credits.
With this in mind, our program focuses heavily on documenting challenging LEED credits while providing the guidance and support needed to ensure that you understand the concepts and processes involved. This credit-based approach translates well to a virtual platform since it does not require participants to engage with the rest of the team on a regular basis.
LEED 2009 and LEEDv4
USGBC has committed to continually updating the LEED Rating Systems every few years to adopt to new technologies, streamline the Certification process and increase the level of standards that projects must meet for each Certification level. The latest update to the LEED Rating Systems is LEED version 4 which launched in November 2013 and includes significant changes from LEED v2009.
While LEED v4 is officially up and running, LEED v2009 still remains current, relevant and widely popular. Projects will be able to continue to register under LEED v2009 through mid-2016 which means that LEED v2009 will likely remain relevant through 2017 and beyond for projects with longer schedules.
Most of the clients we are working with have opted to register their projects under LEED v2009, rather than LEED v4, since it is the more established Rating System and since the industry has not yet fully adapted to meet specific LEED v4 criteria for certain Credits. We expect to continue to use LEED v2009 projects for our LEED Professional Project Experience Program until we see a more widespread adoption of the new LEED v4 system. As part of our program, we will compare and contrast LEED v2009 with LEED v4 so that project participants have a working knowledge of both systems moving.
Project Assignments
As part of our project team, you will be tasked with completing several credit calculations for the project, which we simply refer to as "Project Assignments". The Project Assignments that you'll be given will include several components to help explain the work that needs to be accomplished and guide you through the process.
Each Project Assignment consists of the following:
- Introduction Video & Explanation (start here for each assignment)
- Written Project Assignment including relevant project information
- Copies of LEED Reference Guide Pages (if required)
- LEED Credit Template / Form (only provided if applicable)
- Additional resources such as energy model results where applicable
Project Assignments are meant to be challenging, but very doable regardless of your experience level and background. Most of the Project Assignments will require you to use the Reference Guide to find important information needed to complete the work such as: baseline standards, definitions of key terms, credit percentage thresholds, calculation methodology, equations and variables. Carefully reviewing the Reference Guide pages we provide can be invaluable for preparing for the exam since many of the test questions are derived from the credits we'll be working on as part of the project (this is intentional on our part).
With the resources we provide, including the accompanying videos, our goal is give you the background information and tools necessary for you to complete the credit calculation. We want to provide enough information without actually completing the work for you. In this program you'll be working on solving challenging problems that you could face on any project utilizing BD+C, ID+C, O+M or ND. We examine the following credits:
- Indoor Water Efficiency: Americans use about 70% of their water inside their homes. The American Water Works Research Foundation performed a 1999 study in which they found that Americans use 26.7% of indoor water for toilets, 21.7% in clotheswashers, 16.8% in the shower, and 15.7% from faucets. Nearly 14% is attributed to leaks and 5.3% from other sources. LEED encourages using water efficient appliances as well as replacing potable water use with recycled graywater or rainwater.
- Water Efficient Landscaping: According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), outdoor water use makes up one-third of residential water use, or approximately 9 billion gallons of water per day. About 50% of this water is wasted because of inefficient watering methods and irrigation systems. In a commercial setting, a building can use up to one third of its drinking (potable) water for irrigation. LEED rewards projects that reduce potable water use for irrigation through conservation or by using non-potable water.
- Energy Modeling, Renewable Energy and Green Power: The energy modeling process is critical to any LEED BD+C project and is worth more LEED points than any other credit. LEED looks at the reduction in energy cost, not just energy usage, and encourages projects to use advanced modeling guidelines outlined in ASHRAE Appendix G. Green power refers to purchasing renewable energy from a third party, not through on-site renewable sources. Projects that do not want to install on-site renewable energy can buy green power which can offset some or all of the carbon emissions generated by a building. In LEED 2009, LEED awards two (2) points for projects that engage in at least a 2 year contract with a green power provider. The contract must meet at least 35% of the building's energy needs, either determined by the annual electricity consumption determined by a whole building energy simulation, or the U.S. Department of Energy's Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS). LEED encourages projects to purchase renewable energy generated by a reputable company or organization.
- Lighting Power Reduction: Lighting power density is the Watts of lighting per square foot (psf) of room floor area (W/sf). By reducing lighting power density through better lighting design and more efficient fixtures, a project can save a great deal of energy. Lighting makes up 12% of electricity consumption in the U.S., making it an important component of energy efficient building. LEED aims to control energy use for lighting by requiring reduced lighting density.
- Recycled Content: Items or products made with recycled content contain materials that have been recovered. Materials with recycled content are more sustainable because they prevent used materials from going to a landfill, giving them an extended purpose or second life. This reduces the demand for virgin materials and decreases the material's embodied energy, since materials with recycled content typically require less manufacturing power than producing a new identical product. LEED rewards green building projects that use materials with recycled content.
- Daylighting: Daylighting, or natural lighting provided by the sun, and views of the outdoors are important components of green building because they contribute to improved indoor environmental quality. Indoor areas with natural light are shown to improve occupant health and productivity. LEED rewards projects with spaces that have these characteristics.

In just a few weeks Bell Hospital in Ishpeming will have a new operating room. This will be the fourth one at the hospital.
The decision to add a new OR comes from increased volumes of surgical procedures. Construction on turning the space into an OR started in March. Officials say this will bring in more surgeons and patients.
Currently they do 230 procedures a month, including general surgery, orthopedic, urologic, and gynecological to name a few.
"Providing additional time more in the morning hours when people prefer to have their surgical procedures rather than coming in at 4 p.m. for a procedure, so we're hoping to provide them more efficient care," said Director of Surgical Services, Kim Dunlap.
Bell Hospital received $250,000 from Bell Auxiliary and community donations. Construction should be done by July 1.

Huston's Revenge
on 12/18/2012
"The Asphalt Jungle" is regarded by just about everyone as a great film for a wide variety of reasons. Sterling Hayden is the standout as Dix Handley. The supporting cast is equally memorable. Unlike today's gangster movies, "The Asphalt Jungle" doesn't have filthy language or brutal, sickening violence. Don't get me wrong, this is no children's movie, but it's (thankfully) not as graphic as today's pictures.

Liars at First Avenue, 7/17/12
With Unknown Mortal Orchestra
First Avenue, Minneapolis
July 17, 2012
The music of Liars has always been tough to pin down. Their brand of untamed, dissonant experimentalism is impossible to compartmentalize or copy, talents that their fans certainly identify with. The trio has now taken another unexpected left turn on their dark, restrained new record, WIXIW, which pulses with a moody electronic edge and a despondent undercurrent that gives the tracks a rather morose core.
Liars brought those new tunes and more to First Avenue on Tuesday night, delivering a hypnotic, but at times uneven, 65-minute set that highlighted their tumultuous musical past while giving clear evidence as to the new direction they are currently taking their sound.
The performance took a while to snap to life, as the sedate opening number, "The Exact Colour Of Doubt," was plagued by sound issues, and "Octagon" failed to find much of a groove. But once the tribal dual-drums of "Let's Not Wrestle Mt. Heart Attack," kicked in, announced emphatically by frontman Angus Andrew's primal wail, the set and the slowly building crowd got the spark that was needed.
The title track to Liars new record really shows how deep the band have traveled down the electronic rabbit hole, with both Andrew and Aaron Hemphill (looking resplendent in black suits and ties) settling in behind keyboards as they lead the doleful song forward. Once Julian Gross' drums joined in the musical fray, the track truly took off, while always remaining tethered to its throbbing, downbeat electronic elements.
"Scarecrows On A Killer Slant" really injected some much needed energy into the set, after a melancholy rendering of "Ill Valley Prodigies." The wild rhythms and discordant riffs breathed some life into the performance, and got both the crowd and Andrew dancing around in time with the track's frantic pace. "Brats" kept the energy level high, as Gross came out front to play keys while Andrew lost himself in the song's bristling urgency.
After a somewhat plodding version of "Who Is The Hunter" once again brought the energy level of the set down a bit, the band went back to their stellar 2004 release, They Were Wrong So We Drowned, for the first time in the night, dusting off a blistering rendition of "Hold Hands And It Will Happen Anyway" and the performance caught fire once again.
A truly mesmerizing run through of "No. 1 Against The Rush" quickly followed, with Gross picking up the bass while adding to the track's throbbing allure. Andrew thanked the small but dedicated audience before the last song of their main set, introducing it by saying, "This is an old song that we probably played once in the Entry way back when." He then dedicated a raucous version of "Pillars Were Hollow And Filled With Candy So We Tore Them Down," to their current tour manager and omnipresent Twin Cities music fan, Robyn Lewis, which brought a nice local flavor to the show.
The band took a brief break before the encore, just long enough for both Hemphill and Gross to lose their suit jackets. Then Andrew joined them, excitedly announcing that, "Aaron got a Prince tattoo backstage before the show," as the band launched into their feisty encore with an uproarious rendition of "Broken Witch." The trio really had it in high gear at this point, and closed out the set with an explosive version of "Plaster Casts Of Everything" which got nearly everyone on the main floor moving along with the insistent rhythms of the incendiary number.
While the older songs got the biggest reaction from the audience throughout the Liars magnetic performance, the new numbers proved to be much more cerebral and entrancing, crafting lots of tension without the inevitable release that punctuates much of the band's best material. It's a drastic, dynamic shift in sound for the band, but definitely one that can captivate a crowd right along with their earlier work.
Critic's Notebook:
Personal Bias: I try to never miss a chance to see Liars perform. Hell, I even followed them to the State Theatre in 2007 when they opened for Interpol.
The Crowd: Small but passionate.
Overheard In The Crowd: "I wish all musicians would wear suits when they perform."
Random Notebook Dump: Openers Unknown Mortal Orchestra delivered a rousing opening set that overcame nagging bass issues that drowned out much of frontman Ruban Nielson's sprightly, often stellar guitar work. "Thought Ballune," "Ffunny Ffriends" and "How Can You Luv Me?" all soared, and a riotous run through of "Nerve Damage!" gave some punch to the end of their 40-minute performance.

text: Being ranked third in population and economic output behind Mumbai and Delhi is quite a feat, but locals prefer to call Kolkata the cultural and intellectual capital of India, and that bodes well for curious globetrotters. So many have fallen in love with India, and Kolkata, also known as Calcutta, is the perfect place to visit to discover the country's charms and beauty. The Second World War and a famine were not kind to the city during the mid-20th century, but it has since sprung back. Use one of the Kolkata hotels on our list and you'll be able to explore every corner, every sight and every rich way of life. One of the best times to visit the city is during the winter months from November to February when both rainfall and temperatures are at their lowest. This is when activities like a walk along the Hooghly River waterfront (the Prinsep Ghat stretch is especially beautiful), a round of golf at one of Kolkata's great courses, or exploring the Esplanade are easiest and pleasant. You can also ride a rickshaw without fear of getting drenched! Crowded buses, an ancient tram system, trains and river ferries all offer additional ways to get around Kolkata that will have pride and place among your India travel memories. If you aren't a foodie already, this city will turn you into one. The Esplanade is home to restaurants over a century old, and locals wield foreign cooking prowess that rivals the best in the business. English bakeries, pizzerias and Chinese-Indian fusion will leave you thoroughly satiated – but make sure you leave some room for the famous Bengali sweets! The experience you get wandering around Kolkata has dramatics shifts as you move from area to area, and all are worth a look. The Esplanade is the centre of activity and has beautiful old buildings that have a more ornate European style than other parts of India. In North Kolkata you'll see the historic and cultural architecture really come into its own. Parashnath Jain Temple impresses even seasoned travellers and the curious grounds of Marble Palace act like a cluttered museum giving insight into opulent 19th century living, including a functioning mini zoo with exotic birds. East Kolkata is where the new city is growing. IT businesses and large malls dot the area along with two amusement parks. If you're travelling with kids or simply have an inner child that needs attention, this is the place to frolic in between the real Kolkata sightseeing. Many festivals find their place here throughout the year, but you can't miss Durga Puja if you travel to Kolkata around September or October. This five-day Hindu event is the biggest in Bengali and here you'll see men switch from western dress into traditional outfits and thousands of pandals (shrines to the Goddess Durga) vying for attention throughout the city. There is so much activity in the streets that police presence is ramped up just for the occasion. So wot are you waiting for? We've barely scratched the surface of what a trip to Kolkata is all about. Book accommodation to fit your tastes, check out our Kolkata flights and see for yourself!Hide

Spot on page design, mate. Spot on.
This is fantastic. I love all of the little details. I can't believe you actually drew out that snapshot of Marty and his siblings. Brilliant stuff!
I'm not a fan of the movie(s), but that's a damn fine illustration!
Why don't you make like a tree and draw awesome stuff?....Oh you already have.
OMG. As a fellow BTTF, you have made my day.

Fans are excited for the February 26th debut of "Fuller House," and now Netflix is rolling out a fresh trailer to keep the hype building.
Following the success of 1990s series "Full House," the forthcoming show will star Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber as their characters try to navigate life as adults with children.
She may be one of the hottest ladies in Hollywood, but even Ashley Benson has dealt with body shaming issues from time to time.
Singer Ciara has launched a $15 million defamation lawsuit against her ex-fiance Future.
Last month, the rapper took to Twitter to blast Ciara and accuse her of preventing him from seeing their son, also named Future.
Her new movie "The Divergent Series: Allegiant" is slated to hit theaters on March 18th, and Shailene Woodley looks incredible on the March 2016 cover of InStyle magazine.
Things have been challenging for him in recent years and it seems DMX has hit another low, this time as a result of a drug overdose.
According to reports, the "What's My Name" rapper was found unconscious in the parking lot of a Yonkers, NY Ramada Inn and he wasn't breathing.
Providing an interesting bit of social commentary, "High-Rise" just released a new preview trailer ahead of its Stateside release later this year.
Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to hospital on Monday (February 8) as she was struggling to breathe.
The actress celebrated her 99th birthday on February 6, but just two days later she was taken unwell. Her husband Frederic von Anhalt confirmed to TMZ that she couldn't breathe properly, and so her doctor was immediately summoned.
Awards show fever has taken over the nation, and it looks like there's going to be some fierce competition at the 2016 iHeartRadio Awards.

We are very excited to call the Fenton Fire Hall a customer and recently had the opportunity to chat with Curt Catallo, co-owner of the business, about their experience working with us!
[The State Bank]: Why did you select The State Bank as your partner for your newest venture?
[Curt Catallo, Fenton Fire Hall]: For us, working with The State Bank fit our approach to everything we do: first and foremost, we love to keep things local. Although it's not quite like buying potatoes, beer or beef, there is something very important to working with local banks. We've always believed in the strength of a community approach. So, when we were fortunate enough to be selected for the Fenton Fire Hall project, it made sense to look across the street when we started to look for a funding partner. We knew very early on that The State Bank had more than just a Fenton address--they had a commitment to the community that allowed them to understand our desire to do the same. It also helped that the service to the community went beyond banking. Tom Bertschy brought special knowledge of the project to the table -- he knew what this building meant to Fenton. He served on the DDA board and from where he was sitting, he could see two things: the city of Fenton's belief in the new use of the former Fire Hall, and our desire to be the ones who were selected to take it on. And since he'd already witnessed our pony show at the DDA meetings, we didn't have to do our song and dance twice. I don't think anyone would want to sit through our pitch twice!
[The State Bank]: Was there anything special that your lender or the Bank did for you that was unexpected?
[Curt Catallo, Fenton Fire Hall]: I think that what made the partnership special, maybe not altogether unexpected, is that The State Bank wasn't overly surprised by the unexpected. When you make repurposing old buildings part of your purpose—as Union Joints does—you are bound to find some obstacles in your path. And all old buildings have some obstacles to share with you. I think we were all surprised that Tom Bertschy and Craig Johnson from The Bank weren't frightened on some of the job site tours. These restaurants always take shape at the eleventh hour and Fenton was no exception. We all had a good idea of what Ann (Stevenson), my wife and our designer, had planned for the space: but it took some imagination and trust on their part to understand that these things go from hair-in-curlers to a prom date in a hurry. The Bank did a great job of imagining what the cake would look like with frosting on it… and trusting that Ann and the Joints crew knew how to frost a cake! I think the fact that we used a local general contractor, Bren-Mar, helped a lot, too. The Bank knew that we were keeping the responsibility and the money here in Fenton, and they knew that Brent Williams' office was just across the street. There's no substitute for accountability and keeping it local is always a great step toward building that kind of trust.
[The State Bank]: Would you recommend your lender or The State Bank to others looking for a Commercial Bank?
[Curt Catallo, Fenton Fire Hall]: For a restaurant like us, a commercial banking partner is as important as our line chefs, servers, bussers, bartenders, barracks and hostesses. You simply can't operate unless you have a partner that understands the complexities of a complex business and can support your commitment to it. We're lucky to have a bank that's on board--and we are glad to be on board with The State Bank. We'd definitely recommend them to someone who's looking for a commercial lender. That is, unless they're looking to repurpose a fire hall into a restaurant—we want to be the only one of those around.
[The State Bank]: Tell us a few facts about your business that you would want to share with the readers of this publication.
[Curt Catallo, Fenton Fire Hall]: I know I speak for partners Erich (Lines), Ann (Stevenson), Chef Aaron Cozadd and the entire crew when I say that we're honored to be in Fenton and are proud to have earned the right to repurpose such an important building. We don't take the commitment of State Bank or the support of this community lightly and are going to work to not let Fenton down. We're also going to feed them well.
Thanks to Curt for taking the time to chat with us! Be sure to check out the Fenton Fire Hall for dinner soon. Hours are 4-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 4-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 4-9 p.m. Sunday. (201 S. Leroy; 810-936-0442; www.fentonfirehall.com. Be sure to check out their Facebook page too!)

ABSTRACT: Background: This study aimed to provide an overview of lifestyle changes after breast cancer diagnosis and to examine the relationship between dietary and physical activity changes with weight changes in breast cancer patients. Women with breast carcinomas (n=368) were recruited from eight hospitals and four breast cancer support groups in peninsular Malaysia. Dietary and physical activity changes were measured from a year preceding breast cancer diagnosis to study entry. Mean duration since diagnosis was 4.86±3.46 years. Dietary changes showed that majority of the respondents had decreased their intake of high fat foods (18.8-65.5%), added fat foods (28.3-48.9%), low fat foods (46.8-80.7%), red meat (39.7%), pork and poultry (20.1-39.7%) and high sugar foods (42.1-60.9%) but increased their intake of fish (42.7%), fruits and vegetables (62.8%) and whole grains (28.5%). Intake of other food groups remained unchanged. Only a small percentage of the women (22.6%) had increased their physical activity since diagnosis where most of them (16.0%) had increased recreational activities. Age at diagnosis (β= -0.20, p= 0.001), and change in whole grain (β= -0.15, p= 0.003) and fish intakes (β= 0.13, p= 0.013) were associated with weight changes after breast cancer diagnosis. In summary, the majority of the women with breast cancer had changed their diets to a healthier one. However, many did not increase their physical activity levels which could improve their health and lower risk of breast cancer recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is prevalent among individuals with cancer, especially breast cancer survivors. This study was conducted among 394 breast cancer survivors in selected regions of Peninsular Malaysia to identify the pattern and factors associated with CAM use. About 51% of the respondents reported CAM use as complementary treatment. Vitamins (47.2%), spiritual activities (33.2%) and other dietary supplements (30.7%) were the most commonly used CAM therapies. Common reasons for CAM use were to increase the body's ability to perform daily activities (70.9%), enhance immune function (58.3%) and improve emotional well-being (31.7%). Users obtained CAM information mainly from friends and family members (62.5%), physicians (25.0%) and mass media (13.9%). Ethnicity and years of education were significantly associated with CAM use. Although no adverse effects of CAM were reported, breast cancer survivors should discuss their CAM use with health professionals to prevent potential adverse effects of these therapies.
Article: Weight changes and lifestyle behaviors in women after breast cancer diagnosis: A cross-sectional study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Weight gain rather than weight loss often occurs after breast cancer diagnosis despite breast cancer survivors frequently reported making healthful lifestyle changes. This study describes the prevalence and magnitude of changes in weight before and after breast cancer diagnosis and examines lifestyle behaviors of breast cancer survivors with stable weight, weight gain or weight loss. Respondents were 368 women with breast cancer characterized by stages I, II and III. All were recruited from hospitals or breast cancer support groups and had completed conventional treatment. Current weight and height were measured while weight at cancer diagnosis and 1 year before diagnosis were self-reported. Weight change was calculated as the difference between current weight and weight a year preceding breast cancer diagnosis. A 24-hour diet recall and Global Physical Activity Questionnaire assessed dietary intake and physical activity, respectively. Differences in lifestyle behaviors among weight change groups were examined using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Mean weight change from a year preceding diagnosis to study entry was 2.73 kg (95% CI: 1.90-3.55). Most women (63.3%) experienced weight gain rather than weight loss (36.7%) with a higher percentage (47.8%) having at least 5% weight gain (47.8%) rather than weight loss (22%), respectively. Compared to other weight change groups, women in >10% weight gain group had the lowest fruit and vegetable servings (1.58 servings/day; 95% CI: 1.36-1.82) and highest servings of dairy products (0.41 servings/day; 95% CI: 0.30-0.52). Weight gain was evident in this sample of women after breast cancer diagnosis. Information on magnitude of weight change after breast cancer diagnosis and lifestyle behaviors of breast cancer survivors with varying degrees of weight change could facilitate the development and targeting of effective intervention strategies to achieve healthy weight and optimal health for better survival.
Chapter: Study Methodology and Background Information of Cancer Survivors: Demographic, Socioeconomic and Health Factors
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study describes weight changes experienced by Malaysian women with breast cancer. Women with breast cancer (n=368) were recruited from eight hospitals and four breast cancer support groups in Peninsular Malaysia. Current weight was measured and weight at the time of diagnosis and a year preceding diagnosis were based on self-reports. Change in weight was determined from the year preceding breast cancer diagnosis to study entry (time 1), at the time of diagnosis to study entry (time 2) and from a year preceding breast cancer diagnosis to the time of diagnosis (time 3). Current body mass index, at a year preceding diagnosis and at the time of diagnosis were determined. Waist circumference was also measured. The sample comprised 57% Malay, 34% Chinese and 9.8% Indian women. The mean age of the women was 54 ∓ 9.04 years and over 80% were post-menopausal. Majority of the women were in stage I and stage II breast cancer at the time of diagnosis. The most common treatments received by these women were chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy and mastectomy. Overweight and obesity were prevalent in over 40% of the survivors at all three periods. Significant weight changes were observed during time 1 (-0.74 ∓ 4.78kg, p< 0.001), time 2 (2.73 ∓ 8.06kg, p< 0.001) and time 3 (3.47 ∓ 7.53kg, p< 0.001). At time 1, almost 50% showed no changes in their weight. At time 2, nearly two-thirds had gained weight and at time 3, 69% had gained weight, abdominal obesity was observed in nearly two-thirds of the women at study entry. A significant difference in weight change among age groups was observed in time 2 and time 3. All ethnic groups had significant weight change in time 1 and time 2. Significant weight gain was observed in relation to body mass index prior to diagnosis, at diagnosis and at study entry. However, no significant difference in weight change by educational level, family history of cancer and cancer stages were observed in all 3 periods. In conclusion, significant weight gain was evident in this sample of women after diagnosis of breast cancer and treatment. Women with breast cancer should be encouraged to maintain normal body mass index and waist circumference through appropriate diet and regular physical activity which may help to reduce their risk of recurrence, secondary cancer and metastasis.
Article: Food variety score is associated with dual burden of malnutrition in Orang Asli (Malaysian indigenous peoples) households: Implications for health promotion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper reports on the presence of dual burden households in Orang Asli (OA, indigenous people) communities and its associated factors. A total of 182 OA households in two districts in Selangor with the required criteria (182 non-pregnant women of child bearing age and 284 children aged 2-9 years old) participated in the study. Height and weight of both women and children were measured. Energy intake and food variety score (FVS) were determined using three 24-hour diet recalls. While 58% were underweight and 64% of the children were stunted, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in women were 31% and 20% respectively. The percentage of dual burden households (overweight mother/underweight child) was 25.8% while 14.8% households had normal weight mother/normal weight child. The mean food variety score (FVS) was similar for women (7.0+/-2.1) and children (6.9+/-1.9). Dual burden households were associated with women's employment status (OR: 3.18, 95% CI: 2.65-5.66), FVS of children (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.95) and FVS of women (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.02- 1.89). The FVS of children (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.25-0.89) and women (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.64-2.77) remained significant even when dual burden households were compared to only households with normal weight mother/normal weight child. In these OA communities, food variety may predict a healthier diet in children, but may increase the risk of overweight and obesity in adults. Efforts to address households with dual burden malnutrition should consider promotion of healthy diets and lifestyle for all members.

The Facebook-backed Oculus VR today announced the acquisition of Carbon Design, the group behind some of Microsoft's popular products, such as the Arch Touch Mouse, the Xbox 360 controller (and its new transforming d-pad), and the Xbox 360 Racing Wheel.
"This is an entirely open product category," said Peter Bristol, Creative Director at Carbon Design. "With consumer VR at its inception, the physical architectures are still unknown—We're on the cutting edge of defining how virtual reality looks, feels, and functions."
While the acquisition sum was not disclosed in the announcement, Oculus did point out that it had been working with Carbon for almost a year on a number of unannounced projects.
Oculus has been on a hiring spree lately, after receiving official backing Facebook of $2 billion. So far, the team consists of graphics engine wizard John Carmack, former VR engineers from Valve including Micheal Abrash, ex-Halo 4 senior director Kenneth Scott, and Naughty Dog co-founder and the ex-CEO of the ill-fated THQ, Jason Rubin.

Do You Remember Lyrics
Do You Remember Song Lyrics
[Jay Sean]
I've been thinkin' about you
And how we used to be then. Yeah
Back when
It didn't have to end
We can start again.
There's nothing left to say.
Don't waste another day.
Its just you and me tongiht,
Everything will be okay.
If its alright with you,
Then its alright with me.
Baby let's take this time,
let's make new memories.
Do you remember [x3]
All the fun times we had?
Do you remember [x3]
All the fun times we had?
let's bring it back, oh [x4]
So long since you've been missing
It's good to see you again
How are you, how you doin', and how about we?
Don't let this happen again.
[Sean Paul]
Yo, aye, girl yo,
Bring it back to the time when you and me had just begun,
When I was still your number one.
While it might seem far-fetched baby girl,
But it can be done.
I got this feeling for ya blazing and its hot just like the sun,
Know you feel it too my girl just breathe up
And the good vibes run.
Girl take a sip out the champagne,
Take a little trip down my lane,
My girl.
While your out every night I will feel alright,
Nigga clearly this girl is a my world.
Dont change up now rearrange it girl,
Im a tellin this staight inta my world.
How many years say ya want come kiss this,
Girl cause ya miss this,
Thats what I heard
Thats what I heard
Thats what I heard
Word girl

|Hook and loop fasteners
Number of employees
Velcro Industries is a privately held worldwide corporation manufacturing consumer and industrial products. Among them is a series of mechanical-based fastening products, including a brand of fabric hook and loop fastener often colloquially referred to by the company name, "Velcro".
Velcro is the brainchild of Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral who in 1941 went for a walk in the woods and wondered if the burrs that clung to his trousers — and dog — could be turned into something useful.[1]
The original patented hook and loop fastener was invented in 1948 by de Mestral, who patented it in 1955 and subsequently refined and developed its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s.
De Mestral developed a fastener that consisted of two components: a lineal fabric strip with tiny hooks that could "mate" with another fabric strip with smaller loops, attaching temporarily, until pulled apart.[2] Initially made of cotton, which proved impractical,[3] the fastener was eventually constructed with nylon and polyester.[4]
De Mestral gave the name Velcro, a portmanteau of the French words velours ("velvet"), and crochet ("hook"),[5][6] to his invention.
Humphrey Cripps began investing in Velcro in the 1960s. In 2009, the company was taken private by a private equity firm linked to the Cripps family.[7][8]
In 1958, de Mestral filed for a patent application for his hook-and-loop fastener in Switzerland, which was granted in 1961. The term Velcro is a registered trademark of Velcro Industries B.V.[9]
To reduce the risk of the Velcro name becoming a generic term and thereby losing the distinctiveness necessary to maintain its trademark protection, the company claims that there is no such thing as "Velcro," and that the term is a company name not a product name.[10] Many dictionaries define Velcro as being a type of fastener, but generally note that the term is a protected trademark or proprietary name.[11]
Velcro Industries provides fastening solutions for a wide array of industries, including consumer packaged goods, transportation, personal care, military, packaging, construction, apparel, and agriculture.[citation needed]
Products of Velcro Industries include:
- Textile hook and loop fasteners and closures
- Plastic hooks
- Self-engaging hook and loop
- Adhesive fastening products
- Converted and fabricated products[citation needed]

Dove Style+CareЩ Nourishing Dry Ends Serum
5 reviews
100% would repurchase
Package Quality: 5.0
Price: $$
Package Quality: 5.0
Price: $$
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Let me just say that this product is my holy grail.
I have been using this serum for over a year now. It instantly makes my hair shiny, soft, and tangle-free. At the end of the day, (8-12 hours after putting it in) my hair is still soft as ever. I can finally pull my fingers through my hair without coming across any tangles. In fact, I had stopped using this serum for about two weeks, but noticed that my hair wasn't as soft as it used to be. After using it just one time, my hair was back to being extremely smooth.
1-2 pumps is enough. More, and your hair may feel a little greasy. I apply it after drying my hair. It's perfect right before flat-ironing as well. Make sure NOT to focus it on your roots! Instead focus on your ends.
If you're looking for something that will make your hair soft and shiny without the hassle of a $20+ price, I recommend the Dove serum.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I have frizzy hair and recommend this product. I focus this serum on the ends of my hair and with the leftover, I put it on the second half of my hair and fly-aways and it does work on smoothing the frizz. I also makes my ends really nice and nourished.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
I bought this serum because my ends were getting really dry and frizzy in the cold air. After the first application I could see a noticeable difference! My hair was super soft and moisturized.. no signs of greasy residue! And costing just under 5 bucks at Wal Mart-- I will definitely be purchasing again! =)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
You can find this for about $2/bottle on the ground or get it for $4 per bottle online. I LOVE this stuff. I have wavy hair that becomes very frizzy when blow dried. I take a pump of this and work it through the bottom one-third of my hair when wet to get my dry ends a good coating and then once I've finished blow drying I'll take half a pump and work it through every part of my hair. Gives my hair very natural looking shine (not the, "I just put a serum on my hair" shine, but a healthy shine). After about two weeks of use, I would definitely say that my ends feel better conditioned overall. I'm really surprised there aren't more reviews for this wonderful, cheap product
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
Claims to "smooth frizzy, rough, dry ends. Its lightweight formula deeply nourishes to restore softness and protect from heat styling, for beautifully smooth, healthy-looking hair". It does all this well, but I wish it'd add a little more shine and it'd be a perfect product for me. Would still repurchase.

New promotional Image for TEEN TITANS GO 2013

Teen Titans Go! 2013 Update by teentitansWatch

I keep thinking they're children until they actually speak in the shorts. Due to the designs and everything, I'm just assuming this show is going to be very lighthearted compared to the original. Its focusing on their lives as teenagers after all.
When I first saw this I literally thought I was looking at a random peice of quickly drawn fanart from a computer, I actually had to zoom in and look at the copywriteing at the bottom to make sure it was ligit and I wasn't being pranked... I sure hope the whole series doesn't look like this...
Are we looking at the same picture? It looks like someone doodled this in like ten minutes.
If it's anything like Winx Club (which I heart), the promotional art probably looks a ton weirder than the real thing, though. *shrug*

There are 50 reviews of Cinnabar.
Like her own Youth Dew of the early 1950s, and the darker Tabu of Dana, this is a spicy oriental, perhaps an attempt to cash in on YSL's classic 1976 oriental, Opium.
Cinnabar, from 1978, does manage to float a light peachy, plum, clove, cinnamon cloud over its solid amber, patchouli, vanilla base that differentiates it from the more linear Youth Dew.
Its only drawback, and this is slight, is its price. Not terrible, but twice as much as what Youth Dew and Tabu are asking for in the current market.
I see Cinnabar as a middle ground between Youth Dew and Opium, straining to duplicate the classy sophistication of the latter, but using the former as its starting point.
Recommended for any lover of spicy orientals.
Pros: Wonderful spicy oriental scent
Cons: Too similar to Youth Dew and Tabu, both less expensive

I had a miscarriage....
My 1st pregnancy ended in a MC. I waited 9 long months to get pregnant again with my now 13 month old. I look at her and think that I would never have her if I had stayed pregnant the 1st time. Hugs and love to you!
Peanut expected to arrive around 7/15/13
I'm so sorry!!! I had a m/c at 5w2d in early August. I had to wait one cycle before TTC (per my doctor), we didn't get pregnant in September (didn't time things quite right so I wasn't suprised) but then we got pregnant in October.
Me (34), DH (37)...married 6 years
DS born 5/20/09, early m/c 8/4/12, DS #2 born 6/29/13
I am so sorry for your loss.

It was crazy to hear that 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage and that no one really talks about it.
We were told mixed info on when it's okay to try again, from right when you stop bleeding to6 months! We waited until we were comfortable (2 months- end of August). Now I am technically 4 weeks pregnant(mid-October )
I am doing my best not to worry, especially since Dr.s say your next one should be normal.
Ill be praying for your strength through this hard time. <3
Me (28) married to my highschool sweetheart 5/2010
TTC since 01/2012
MC 09/11/2012 (6 weeks)
I have had a misscarriage at 8weeks. We went in for US and there was no heartbeat even though the baby measured 8w1d. It is rough - I won't lie. I had to have a D and C though. We have been trying since then (the D and C was in Jan). I have heard though if you misscarry on your own, it is easier to get pregnant faster. Prayers to you!
R and B - Married 08/05/2006
Expecting #2 July 2013
Oh I am so sorry! You need support and love right now!
We had a miscarriage August 30th. The bleeding didn't stop for almost 2 more weeks. Two weeks after that, I had a normal period. We ended up getting pregnant with this one, and honestly I was not emotionally ready for this kind of worry. But as someone else said, you seem to get pregnant faster if it is miscarried naturally. That miscarriage is my 3rd (2nd of this year.)
I pray you can find peace and comfort, and if it helps, do something for the little one that you lost. Write a letter, burry a memory box, get a charm or pendant. There are lots of ideas online.

Football Ferns midfielder Sarah Gregorius says missing a golden chance to open the Olympic Games with a goal will "haunt'' her but she is already focused on the next battle with Brazil.
The 26-year-old was presented with a gift-wrapped opportunity in the 71st minute to equalise against Great Britain in Cardiff today after a defensive blunder by the home team.
Gregorius, who has the respectable strike-rate of 15 goals in 31 internationals, would normally bury the ball in the back of the net.
But she scuffed her shot straight at grateful Great Britain goalkeeper Karen Bardsley and the home team clung on for a 1-0 victory at Millennium Stadium.
"It's probably going to haunt me for the next little while,'' Gregorius admitted. But she said she had to "put it behind me and move on to the next one [against Brazil in Cardiff on Sunday].
"Hopefully, it'll be quickly forgotten and I'll put a few away next time I get them.''
Gregorius said she wasn't sure who was more suprised, herself or the British defenders, when the chance came.
"You dream of those sort of opportunities, that's a defender's nightmare. It felt like a kid on Christmas ... but you saw the result of that.''
She said hindsight was "20-20''. "It's pretty easy to look back and say, 'I should have done this, I should have done that'.
"That's the stuff you train for and sometimes you put those away and sometimes you don't. That's football...''
Gregorius's coach and captain both backed her to bounce back from the disappointment.
Coach Tony Readings said the German-based midfielder was one of the bubbliest personalities in the team.
He could understand her disappointment but stressed the defeat could not be blamed on her miss.
Captain Rebecca Smith agreed Gregorius was "probably one of most optimistic and confident players we have''.
"On and, she worked really hard so that probably took a bit out of her legs. She just needs to focus on her good moments.
"I'm sure she's disappointed, but everyone is disappointed.''
England created and missed more chances than the Football Ferns but Gregorius still felt the game was "there for the taking for us''.
"It was really even and it had its ups and downs. We will walk away disappointed, but yo've got to pick yourself up and move on pretty quickly... we'll look forward to the next game.
She said the Ferns would have to be "really on [our] game'' to beat Brazil: "In terms of individual technique, it doesn't get much better than the Brazil team.
"They present new challenges but at the same time new opoportunities. We'l l analyse them like we did Great Britain. We'll definitely look to nullify their threats and create a few of our own.''
