Huntsville Stars spokeswoman Nicole Colonis said Monday that the raffle during the team's Wednesday night game against the Chattanooga Lookouts was cancelled after Minor League Baseball officials said the promotion was likely not in the franchise's best interest. Colonis says the team will still have free admission for members of the National Rifle Association who present their membership card. Huntsville is a Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Here we go – Six more weeks of Winter!
Punxutawney Phil, the Prognosticator of prognosticators, came out of his cozy burrow yesterday and saw his own shadow. This was to be expected, as the "polar vortex" continues to grip much of the country in relentless fashion.
One thing is certain: it's cold out there. So how can you keep yourself from going totally stir-crazy? Grab your hat and gloves and get out the house! Explore our fine, local fun for the whole family resources and activities!
Here are six ways to beat six more weeks of cabin fever:
1. Rent a pair of Skis!
There are a few great places in the Michiana area to rent a pair of skis. Berrien County has two great parks with groomed cross-country trails, or the downhill adventurous types can go faster at Swiss Valley in Jones, MI. Ski rentals are affordable and provide a good workout. Plus, there's the bonus of hot chocolate by the fire!
2. Skate with your date!
Of course the whole family could join, but this could also be a great date night activity. The Compton Ice Arena at Notre Dame has skating for the whole family, as does the classic Howard Park Ice Rink near downtown South Bend. Both facilities are also located close to some of the best restaurants in the area!
3.Slide on your backside!
This is arguably the most fun you could have all Winter! Grab a tube, zip yourself down a monster hill and see how fast can you go. St. Pat's County Park has a big 'ole hill of fun, as does Five Pines near Berrien Springs.
4. Experience local art and history!
There are several great museums and viewing galleries in our area. Children can touch and explore the world at the Hannah Lindahl Children's Museum in Mishawaka, as well as the Healthworks Kids Museum in downtown South Bend. Local history enthusiasts can relieve great moments from our past at the Studebaker National Museum and the Center for History, both of which are located on the same campus near downtown South Bend. Art lovers can enjoy the exhibits at the South Bend Museum of Art or the Snite Museum of Art at Notre Dame.
5. Go to a show!
The Morris Performing Arts Center located in downtown South Bend has a fantastic line-up for the 2014 season. The fully revamped Lerner Theatre in Elkhart also has great entertainment scheduled for this year.
6. Get ready to look good this summer!
The snow and ice will be gone before we know it. Now is the time to sweat away those extra Winter pounds and get fit for beach season. Plus, there are all kinds of benefits to exercise – better thinking, better sleep, bigger results. The Michiana Family YMCA and the O'Brien Fitness Center have all sorts of ways to have fun while building those muscles.

California Democrats are daring Republicans to challenge them on issues from Wall Street regulations to health care reform.
At the state party's annual convention in Los Angeles, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told delegates "Democrats are for protecting the peoples' interest; Republicans are protecting the special interests."
With her re-election in doubt, Sen. Barbara Boxer urged Democrats to unite behind her candidacy with the excitement witnessed at tea party rallies.
And state Attorney General Jerry Brown called on his two major Republican contenders in the governor's race to join him in prime-time debates before the June primary. It's an idea Steve Poizner accepted, but Meg Whitman declined.
L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who opened the convention, promised the party will go on the offense ahead of November elections, saying, "Democrats, it's game time."

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette Contestant Chris Siegfried Rocks A Beard — Hot or Not?
Everyone stop what you're doing (painting a watercolor portrait of Chris Harrison using your own tears as the water, natch), and listen up. One of Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock's contestants has just gone through a major makeover, and he's more hunkerific than ever. Well, if you like your men with a side of unruly facial hair.
The dude in question? None other than Chris "I'm A Poet and Literally Everyone Knows It" Siegfried, who recently posted a picture of himself to Twitter wherein he's wearing hilariously baggy shorts, holding a golf club, and rocking a beard. At least we think that gathering of wispy tresses counts as a beard. It could be classified as an overgrown goatee.
Either way, Chris looks smokin' hot (per usual), but do you prefer this Bachelorette brosef clean, clear, and under control? Because we might. It's like: Stop hiding behind your manly hair fetishes, Chris. Let your lips recite poetry unburdened by that layer of fuzz!
What do you think about Chris' new look? Hit the comments and muse about your opinions and feels because this is an extremely important issue we're dealing with. Think of it as your own personal Rose Ceremony.

Local arborist shares how trees can work for you
Sunday, May 5, 2013
Nick Kuhn's mission is to help all Missouri residents know the benefits of trees and how they can work for them.
For more than two years, Kuhn's work as forestry coordinator with the Missouri Department of Conservation has had him working to show how trees in communities are just as important as those in the wild.
"Trees in communities can help homeowners reduce their utility costs," he said. "They also lead to more people wanting to get out and enjoy the outdoors and exercise. Not only more trees are being planted, but also we're seeing a more diverse population which is a healthy thing. How many trees planted varies from area to area, but people appreciate trees more for what they do for streets and homes."
Kuhn was a city forester in New Mexico and Tennessee and has been in forestry for 20 years.
He grew up in Illinois, and this was a job to get him closer to his Missouri residents.
Kuhn said Missouri has long history of helping people know more about what trees can do for them.
"We have been doing community forestry long before other states," he said. "Our program started in the '70s, and it was not until 1991 that the federal government started their program."
Kuhn said if we plan for community forests for shade, wildfire benefits, controlling storm water and good parks then we end up with aesthetically pleasing environments.
"We educate staff of cities and community leaders to help them make own programs instead of us doing stuff for them," he said. "Surveys show that Missouri residents as well as leaders and politicians recognize benefits of trees and are coming to us for help."

This book focuses on this period, and lists us the
series of events that preceded this destructive war.
It also gives us full dialogues between the LF and army
officers, and the behavior of Aoun and Hakim during
this period.
Although the author does not take any side, he clearly
shows through his title and the events listed in the
book that "la folie des grandeurs" hit Aoun
and made him commit terrible mistakes.
He was more an illusion than a dream, people thought
he was the next Bashir; instead he turned out to be
a bad copy of Amin.
As for Hakim, he is described as a wise person who
tried to avoid by all means this war, but not at the
expense of giving away what Bashir started and he promised
himself to finish it. Therefore although it hurt him
to fight his own Christian brothers, losing the LF was
not an option.

In yet another sign of how far the Pikes Peak region has come since the Waldo Canyon Fire, some popular recreational areas off-limits since last summer have reopened to the public.
Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, runners, bikers and other outdoor-minded folks are being allowed back to Rampart Reservoir. The trail, campgrounds and picnic sites are now available for use as of Friday.
"Since the Waldo Canyon Fire, we have accomplished a considerable [amount] of work at the recreation sites and the trail around the reservoir," District Ranger Alan Hahn said in a statement from the U.S. Forest Service.
USFS says that small boats with electric motors will be permitted in the reservoir, but warn those planning to go out on the water that the water level will be low. The boat launch and ramp will be closed, so those using boats will have to launch them from the shore. Boats are prohibited from crossing the dam.
Hahn reminds the public that the landscape around the reservoir will not look exactly like it did prior to last June.
"Understand that this landscape has been dramatically altered," he said.
Schubarth Road, also known as National Forest System Roads 307, 311 and 313, is also scheduled to reopen Friday. The total area reopening amounts to 40 percent of the entire Waldo Canyon burn area.
Officials say the rest of the burn area, including the Waldo Canyon Trail, will remain closed to the public. The Waldo Canyon Trail was ravaged by the fire and has a long ways to go before it will be safe for use, though officials have not ruled out reopening it in the future. The U.S. Forest Service says there are numerous hazardous along the loop, including unstable ground, dead trees and falling rocks.
Also, by keeping it closed, officials say new vegetation will be allowed to grow without being trampled by people.

text: Nikon D90 DSLR Cameras and Camcorder Reviews 22 January 09 by Jackson Lynch Nikon D90 DSLRCourtesy Nikon 9/10 Wired rating Wired Enormous image sensor blows open the door to some of the finest 12.3-megapixel images we've produced yet. Nikon's top-of-the-line high-res 3-inch LCD is prettier than looking at a supermodel with beer goggles. In-camera dust reduction is spot on at removing spots from the sensor. One-touch info button and simple, descriptive help screens clarify deep, detailed menus. Toss out your camcorder; the 720p, 24 fps video capture on the D90 will trump its performance — especially in low lighting. Face facts: Face-detection system works quickly, accurately, and effortlessly. Tired Only manual focus in the video mode. Seriously, this is really the only problem we had with the D90 and even that was a stretch. Price £650 (body only), £800 with 18-105mm lens Sometimes the mere notion of being No 2 can light a motivational fire. Look at some famous folks who, despite being considered numero dos, went on to dominate their respective fields and even eclipse their predecessors: Plato, a pupil of Socrates, opted not to go the hemlock-chugging route and instead helped lay down the foundations of Western philosophy. Jean-Luc Picard played second fiddle to Kirk only to become the greatest captain in Star Trek. Ever.In the world of DSLR cameras, Nikon has been toiling to one day escape from the shadow of a certain photo-manufacturing giant whose name rhymes with "Danon." And with its newest shooter it looks like that day may have finally come.Nikon's latest offering, the 12-megapixel D90 is a feature-packed fistful of photo fury that's sure to help pave your way to full-fledged Flickrati status. Straight from the box and out on the street the D90 shows off its picture-making prowess. Our testing unit came bundled with a (bordering on) superwide 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 lens that we used for all of our evaluations. The 11-point focusing system with the face priority speedily locks onto subjects while the automatic Active D-Lighting (a feature that optimises details within shadows and high-contrast subjects) is a noticeable step forward in on-camera illumination. The flash images show off a pleasing balance between the strobe and the ambient light even when just shooting in the full auto and program modes. Nikon's also got a convergence hit with the integration of a movie mode that makes three flavours of video, the yummiest being up to five minutes of 720p HD in a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio. Owing to the size of the sensor and the higher quality optics, video clarity and depth of field are on par with the D90's stills.

Do You Know Your Jeweler?
Do You Know Your Jeweler?
To introduce myself, I am Gerard Faini and have been in the jewelry industry for over 30 years. My family has been working in the jewelry industry since my father started it here in Sioux Falls back in 1950. I remember working on the jewelers' bench in the sixth grade and quickly being able to make some beautiful creations with my own hands. I became overwhelmed with excitement about how good it felt to create a piece of jewelry a person will love and cherish for many years. My goal for this article is to help you to make confident, informed and comfortable decisions when it comes to your jewelry purchases.
When shopping for a diamond one of the first things you may hear about is the 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. You may also hear statements like:
"Our diamonds out-shine all the others because of the way it is cut."
"Our diamonds are so much better than any others on the market."
"I buy direct so I can save you money."
You need to ask yourself who is telling the truth? Who is telling a story? Who has the interest of you? Unfortunately, stores do not always make it easy.
Truth be told, I suggest you do some research on your own. I would recommend http://www.gia.edu/ for your diamond and gemstone information. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) sets the standards for diamond and gemstone grading. Do not limit your research to just the 4 Cs. Take the time to know your jeweler, research the store and discover what kind of store they are. Is it a chain store or a large box store? What's the history of the store? You would not want to purchase something and feel as if you're stuck. After all, this is a gift that comes from the heart and will be passed down from generation to generation, creating a family heirloom.
Your number one priority is to find a jeweler you know and can trust. A jeweler that is in business because it's what they love to do. Some people are not in it for the enjoyment but rather for the dollar. I'd like to share an example with you. Because of my background in the jewelry industry, I have encountered more unusual circumstances than you can imagine.
One day a new jewelry store owner called me and wanted us to handle their repair work. To make a long story short, I asked him about his background. He proceeded to tell me that he went to school for finance and after 15 years in the financing business; he said he thought he can make more money in the jewelry business. Think about it... Is this the kind of person you want to make an important purchase from? Could it be he is just moving "merchandise" to make "more money"?
You need to know that your jeweler is for real. Have confidence in them. There are a lot of stores out there with a lot to choose from. Buying any type of jewelry should be a fun and exciting process! It should not add any stress to your life.
When looking for wedding bands or engagement rings for example, there are a lot of variables to consider. If you are a doctor, farmer, construction worker, or anyone doing physical labor you probably would not want a ring that is very light weight or not durable. Wearing a light weight ring in an environment that takes a lot of wear can be a little scary. If your jeweler does not tell you the difference, you're not getting the service you deserve.
Spend time looking at different stores. Do not feel that you have to buy right there on the spot because you might miss the sale or someone else is looking at that ring. There are many rings out there.
You may have an idea of what color gold you are looking for. Whether it is white, yellow, or a combination of both which is called two-tone. Another thing to consider is the way the accent diamonds are set. One thing people fail to realize is there are many different ways to set the smaller side diamonds. Jewelry styles are constantly changing. I used to see that the channel set diamonds were the big thing. Now we are seeing more pave' and fishtail set diamonds. A lot of these styles go back hundreds of years, but the look is a timeless wonder.
As far as the shape of the center diamond goes, http://www.gia.edu/ will give you all the basic shapes for diamonds. Look on the left side of the page where it says "How to Buy a Diamond". The princess (square shaped) diamond is a popular diamond. However, the round brilliant has been, and may always be, the most popular shape. When it comes to diamonds and their shapes, you will see a lot of different combinations that look beautiful together. Keep your options open. When you see the ring that really speaks to you, you will feel it and know it.
When looking for a diamond, for a ring, or any piece of jewelry do not be confused with what you like versus what you are being sold. Like what you like for what it is and not because it has a "branded" marketed name. Brands come and go. You will cherish your jewelry forever. Like I always say, "If you don't know jewelry know your jeweler."

Basic Buttermilk Fried Chicken2013-06-03
- Cuisine: Continental, Kids & Babies
- Course: Main Course
- Skill Level: Easy
If you cook the chicken just before leaving on your picnic, transport it warm, uncovered, in a basket lined with paper towels and foil. If you make it a day ahead, let it cool, then refrigerate it overnight. Pack the cold chicken in a covered plastic container lined with parchment paper.
- 1 quart (4 cups) buttermilk
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1 pinch dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon plus 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
- 1 quart (4 cups) vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- Place the buttermilk in a resealable plastic bag, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the bag and turn to coat in the buttermilk. Seal the bag and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight. When you're ready to cook the chicken, let it sit at room temperature in the marinade for 30 minutes.
- Pour the oil into a large, straight-sided frying pan or cast iron skillet (the oil should reach halfway up the side of the pan). Heat over medium-low heat until it reaches between 350°F and 360°F on a candy/fat thermometer, about 20 minutes. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it by sprinkling flour in the oil. If the oil's hot enough, the flour will sizzle, then quickly dissipate.)
- Meanwhile, combine the measured flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, pinch of cayenne, and pinch of thyme in a shallow dish. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and set it aside.
- When the oil is ready, remove 4 of the drumsticks from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Carefully lay the pieces in the oil and fry until cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes total. (An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the drumstick should read 160°F to 165°F. If you don't have a thermometer, cut a small slit down to the bone; the juices should run clear and there should be no pink at the bone.) Place the drumsticks on the wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Canterbury Tales (selected)
Barron's Educational Series, 1970 - Literary Criticism - 530 pages
Begun soon after 1386 and written during several years that followed, Geoffrey Chaucer's great narrative poem The Canterbury Tales presents a richly detailed, highly entertaining, and sometimes bawdy picture of English society in the fourteenth century. Rich with humorous insights into the many foibles of humanity, this poem is considered by most literary critics and scholars to be the first great example of literary art written in vernacular English. Its narrative opens as a party of 30 men and women from various walks of life gather at the Tabard Inn in London, from where they set out on a holy pilgrimage to Canterbury and its shrine dedicated to Thomas ŕ Becket. As they travel, each person has a story to tell.
The most famous and beloved of Chaucer's stories are presented in interlinear form this intensely readable volume. Alternating each of Chaucer's original lines with its translation into modern English, this book encourages readers to savor the genius of Chaucer's original poetry while following each line with an easy-to-understand modern translation of his Southeast Midlands dialect of Middle English. This scholarly yet truly approachable translation of Chaucer's original poem is the work of Vincent F. Hopper, a longtime professor of English literature at New York University. He opens with the famous Prologue--
Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
When April with his showers sweet
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
The drought of March has pierced to the root
--and then goes on to present

Sales training acronyms, whether true acronyms or not, introduce fun, color and interest to any sales individual or team. Acronyms act as a mnemonic device to greatly assist in memory retention and learning. Listed below are the current top 10 Ranked Sales Training Acronyms:
AIDA: comes from the 50's sales training, but because of its discipline and eye for what's important; AIDA is still relevant in the 21st century and stands for: Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. This sales training acronym is considered the 'Hierarchy of Effects', which basically describes the process of how people become motivated to act on external stimulus, for example – when we buy something we buy it according to the AIDA process. The same holds true for selling something.
SPIN: stands for – Situation, Problem, Implication and Need. This is one of the more enduring selling acronyms from the 70′ and 80's. SPIN is a selling process that remains an extremely useful method for sales with potential customers.
DIPADA: stands for – Define, Identify, Proof, Agreement, Desire and Action. This sells acronym is commonly used in the media sales circuit, but it's also worth knowing in case this sales technique comes up in conversation with another sales person or a sales persons immediate supervisor or manager. DIPADA came around the 90's and early 00's and was the predominant structure taught to all media sales people.
ABC: Always Be Closing. Self explanatory.
AFTO: Ask For The Order; follows along the line of ABC, but a more imperative process and one of the more important rules of selling, which a majority of sales people have a tendency to forget.
SMART: Stands for – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time framed. The clearer one can define the goal the easier it becomes to achieve those goals. A salesperson should not only be setting goals for the number of sales needed, but should be thinking of the number of prospects, meetings, etc., that will help create the sale.
ALF: stands for – Always Listen First. This is a crucial part in any sales training sessions.
ASK: stands for – Activity, Skills, Knowledge. A great acronym for sales training and development. These 3 components are essential for a successful sales individual or team.
DMAIC: stands for – Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control, which is mostly used by companies that follow the Six Sigma philosophy to achieve their goals short and long term goals. The Six Sigma process, which is a management philosophy that is based on the theory that reduces its defects.
PRIDE: is a acronym for five characteristics that will help to ensure all sales individuals will get the job done and make the revenue results desired become a reality. PRIDE stands for: Proven, Respectful, Innovative, Decisive and Enthusiastic.
Pingback: No Trust, No Sale

Prison officials have regained control of the Crowley County Correctional Facilty near Olney Springs after hundreds of inmates rioted Tuesday night.
Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Allison Morgan tells 11 News that about 100 inmates were in the outdoor exercise area around 7:30 p.m. But when it came time to return to their cells, the prisoners began rioting.
Guards used tear gas to try and break up the disturbance. Prison officials then called in extra guards from other area correctional facilities for help. Morgan says no guards were hurt in the riot, but 13 prisoners were injured---one was stabbed and was in critical condition at last report. Another had been shot.
Morgan says the inmates set several fires and four living areas were damaged--one destroyed.
Morgan says the disturbance was likely a "turf war" between rival gangs in the facility. Some of the inmates involved in the riot have now been taken to other correctional facilites.
This is not the first time there's been unrest at the Crowley County Correctional Facility. In 1999, inmates who had just been transfered from Washington rioted when they refused to "lock down." That disturbance lasted about 6 1/2 hours. One inmate and one employee were slightly hurt.
Crowley County houses inmates from Wyoming, Washington and Colorado. The facility was built in 1998 and is designed to hold more than 1100 inmates who are at or below the "medium" custody level.

Rains ease drought ... a little, in some places
This week's Drought Monitor map (above) is out, and it does show some drought relief for some places in Maryland, when compared with last week's map. The portion of the state in moderate or severe drought has declined from 93 percent to 85 percent.
The most-improved award goes to the Mid-Shore region, from, say the Sassafras River south to the Denton area. That section was rated abnormally dry last week is now in the clear. The portion of the state no longer considered abnormally dry increased on this week's map from 6.8 percent to 14.4 percent.
Also improved this week are Baltimore and its immediate suburbs. The weekend rains there boosted conditions from "moderate drought" to only "abnormally dry." The percentage of the state rated at least abnormally dry declined from 93 percent to 85.6 percent on this week's map.
Still rated in moderate agricultural drought are counties north and west of the metropolitan areas, including northern Baltimore County, Carroll, Frederick, and Washington counties, as well as Howard and most of Montgomery.
Southern Maryland and the Lower Eastern Shore showed little or no improvement despite several inches of rain in some locations. They remain in at least moderate drought. The portion of the state in moderate drought has declined slightly, from 64 percent last week to 60.5 percent this week.
And the crescent of territory centered on Calvert County that was in severe drought last week is still in that condition, according to the latest map. That region consitutes 4 percent of the state's geography.
Meanwhile, the map shows dry conditions persist in much of the mid-Atlantic region. The worst drought in the U.S. at the moment is found on the big island of Hawaii, and in northern Louisiana.
The Drought Monitor map is based on an index that takes into account measurements of such factors as rainfall, stream flow, soil moisture and plant health.

Dancing With The Stars
Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough Celebrate Dancing With the Stars Win
And we have a winner! On the Dancing With the Stars Season 16 finale Results Show (May 21, 2013), Kellie Pickler was crowned queen of the season, and bestowed with the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. What did she have to say about this momentous event?
Well, she didn't as much say anything as — after adorably confirming with partner Derek Hough that she really did win — scream. A lot.
Kellie and Derek were full of smiles and hugs after the announcement. They looked overwhelmed with happiness. And to top the great night off, third-place winner Jacoby Jones hoisted Kelly onto his shoulders (Derek was also lifted by someone else) to help her celebrate. What a feel good win!
Did the right person win? Sound off in the comments below!

I'm back!
I'm back on track! I had fallen off the band wagon there for a while, but here I am...again. I'm still at 250, so I did gain weight while I was gone. My biggest excuse is that I can't afford the cost of produce. We use alot of the 80% lean ground beef in our diets because of the cost. I plan on changing that. I want to look good in jeans again. I also want to look good in tank tops by summer. The past couple of summers I've worn them anyway for comfort, but I know they weren't pretty. ...

My Goals:
My long term goal is to get down to 150 pounds. Currently I''m 253 and it''s all my fault! I want to feel good about my appearance. My immediate goal is to just get in the routine of getting off my butt! It''s so easy to sit and watch tv.
I want to wear size 10 jeans, look good in a tank top, and not have my thighs rub together when I''m wearing a skirt!
My Program:
I''m completely responsible for everything that goes into my mouth so I need to be held accountable to myself. To do this all I have to do is keep track of everything that I eat, which will in turn make me more aware of what I''m eating. I also mentioned that I like to sit and watch tv (or play on the computer) so I''ve added cardio and strength training to my program. Bike riding is a fun way to get my cardio in, and since I have no strenght training equipment I''ve decided that I can use canned veggies.
Personal Information:
My name is Kristel. My husband and I are both 25 years old, and apparently love is blind, because he looks at me and thinks I look the same as when we were 16. He's definitely a good guy. We've got 3 daughters together. They are all in elementary school and are wonderful kids. My oldest particularly enjoys joining me when I'm doing an exercise video, while my youngest enjoys sitting and telling me that I'm stepping to the wrong direction (we all get a good laugh). My middle daughter is very encouraging also, she's my coach who will tell me what a great job I'm doing. I'm very blessed to have such a wonderful family!
Other Information:
I work full time outside of the home, as does my husband. We really enjoy watching CSI, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. I think that we will be utilizing our VCR more often so we can let our cushions on our couch fluff up again to regain their shapes. I''m startin to see imprints from where we all sit!

Thanks, my page is kind of plain, no pics. You are so right, we will make it! One day at a time!!!

Wanted to say thanks...been having a really rough time of it recently...threw my back out, thought I was going to lose my job, got an ear infection, and got sick all in a week. (Sigh)
I guess it was like a bunch of dominoes falling into place all of a sudden...so it was hard not to feel discouraged. However the nice thing was that I had to eat healthy...all I did was eat fruit, small servings of meat, no butter...almost no bread. And stopped drinking sodas.
Basically, what I was able to eat when I was pregnant with my son.
And I have lost from last Sunday from 211 to 204. Which is very fast, but it is what works for me apparently. I also was barely excercising since I was flat on my back for a week...I could barely walk to the bathroom and back...but I was doing stretching excercises in bed so that helped.
As to the produce? Yeah...I know what you mean. It is getting really expensive to eat healthy at all. Complex carbs are so much cheaper...but something I have found is that the better the food is for me as far as quality goes, the less of it I need to feel full.
I also started my first garden this year...and have been growing eggplant, tomatos, watermelons, and canteloupe. Not only were they fantastic tasting, but the plants were cheaper than I could have bought the produce for at the market. Many times over in fact.
1 canteloupe plant cost me a dollar and it produced at least 5 melons...and oh my god...that was the best freaking melon I have ever had in my life. I cannot eat the schlock that they sell in the grocery store anymore. My melons were orange all the way through...smelled incredible, and tasted divine. None of that orange and green stuff...with the hard green shell around it.
I recently learned while taking a class that most of our food travels to us from about 1500 miles away...is picked almost 4-6 days before it ever gets to the store, and is usually underripe. Or overripe and starting to rot a day after we buy it. So next year I am going to give it a go to try to raise my own produce for the most part.
Look up Square Foot Gardening at your local book store...usually borders...it is a really easy to use non intimidating gardening book.
And good luck with your goals...I know that you can do it.

Comical cultural icon delivers odd show
Heywood Banks performs at Penguin's Comedy Club September 13th through 16th
BETTENDORF, IA, September 5, 2007 - Heywood Banks' act is not the normal stand-up routine--far from it. Heywood is simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe.
Dressed in a plaid jacket and wearing dark-rimmed glasses, Heywood's style is his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, stoners, businessmen, yuppies, rednecks, punks, kids or your grandmother.
Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted, inventive, bizarre songs, sung and played in a variety of styles, from folk, to country to rock to pop, and way beyond.
You have to be pretty smart to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy), but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations, expert musicianship and just plain silliness.
Heywood has been featured in "Rolling Stone Magazine" and "People Magazine." He won First Place in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search Contest.
Heywood Banks has appeared on A&E's "Evening at the Improv," MTV's "1/2 Hour Comedy Hour," CNN's "Hollywood Minute," "Caroline's Comedy Hour," "Entertainment Tonight," "Showtime Comedy Club Network," "Dr. Demento Show," "12th Annual HBO Young Comedians Special with Paul Rodriguez" and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.
Stuart Mitchell, the creator of Heywood Banks, tells us that his character was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee and lived for many many years in a log trailer. Heywood's biological parents, Hank and Heyena Banks were killed in a freak revolving restaurant accident back in the sixties - someone had hit the Puree Button by mistake...grisly! Eventually raised by mathematical parents, Heywood was working in a Kroger bagging groceries when he was hit in the head with a can of lunchmeat, giving him spamnesia. This caused him problems for years as he became afraid of the dark, but couldn't sleep with the light on. "Did that ever happen to you???"
Come see the deeply loved Heywood Banks and his very odd show at Penguin's Comedy Club!
See Heywood Banks co-starring Chad Thornsberry September 13th through 16th at Penguin's Comedy Club. Tickets are available by calling (563) 324-5233 or by visiting www.penguinscomedyclub.com. Visit the Penguin's Comedy Club website for more upcoming events such as "Bob & Tom" favorites Dan St. Paul, Tim Cavanaugh and Pat Godwin.
