Un-fat Tuesday
Tuesday, March 08, 2011
This exact time last year I wrote a blog on Fat Tuesday. It went like this...
"Fat Tuesday… and Wednesday
February 17, 2010 by Danielle
There's nothing quite like killing your diet than with 2 paczkis and an empty promise to try better the next day… or the day after you eat 4 slices of deep dish pizza. I'm thoroughly conviced that in my efforts to scrifice on behalf of the Lord's intentions I will somehow always find a way around my promises. No sweets, you say? Then how about mounds of wonderful salts and cheeses and buttery-baked crusts with the finest of Italian sauces? Wonderful.
In other news, after months of chasing our tails in the attempt at buying a house, we finally got down and dirty with the realtors. It gave both the hubby and me a chance to project all our internalized feelings of angst onto the people who are finding us a house. One way or another the temper tantrums will yield results. Much like in one way or another my lack of dieting discipline will yield results: I grow fat and happy with my bean pole of a husband or I grow fat and divorced and bleach my naturally black hair blonde as seems to be the trend with most end-of-their-rope mothers…"
Wow... Who was that depressed woman and where did she go? I'll tell you! She accidentally stumbled across some papers while moving into her new house about dieting tips and recipes with one, small, little Post-it note stuck to one of the papers that said "Sparkpeople.com". Years before that her friend had given her lots of dieting materials and a webpage she'd found that boasted a free diet plan but had promptly thrown them into a box labeled "Misc.".
She logged on later that night after rediscovering these papers and made a SP account. The food didn't seem like it would be that bad and by now she was so desperate to lose the weight she'd try just about anything.
She started slowly with just altering her meals and not yet adding exercise. After 10 days she'd lost 7lbs- WOW! She wondered what would happen if she began taking brisk walks...
Four weeks later she was down 15lbs and was no longer wearing her MATERNITY pants! (Praise God!!)
Flash forward 8 months to March 2011...
This woman managed to drop 39lbs and is now as skinny as she was when she first met her husband. She's able to wear 100% of the clothes in her closet (including outfits from high school!). She doesn't shy away from public events because she's no longer worried about people staring at "the fat girl". She regained lost romance in her marriage and is now making it a mission to inspire others to join her on her LIFESTYLE change.
That woman, on Fat Tuesday, stuck to her training schedule for the first 5k she'll ever run in April. That woman is not seduced by desserts the way she used to be. That woman found healthy outlets for stress instead of turning to food. That woman owes her accomplishments to SparkPeople.com and to all of the amazing people she's met on here who encourage her to keep going and to get back up when she falls. She owes it to her supportive husband who, more than once, had to remind her of why she was doing this and hold her while she cried about her failures.
That woman is a changed, proud woman.

July 29, 1998
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State's Willie Bloomquist had a 3-for-5 performance with a triple, two RBI and a run scored as the USA National Baseball Team defeated Australia 8-5 on Tuesday night before a crowd of approximately 3,000 at Campo Fondo Patti. The United States evened its tournament record at the International Baseball Association's World Championships at 3-3, while Australia suffered its first defeat and fell to 5-1. With tonight's win, the Americans kept their hopes to advance to the quarterfinals alive. In order for the USA to advance, the Americans must win tonight's contest with Canada and Australia must defeat the Netherlands.
Trailing 5-2 after seven innings, the USA offense exploded for five runs as the Americans sent 11 batters to the plate and took a 7-5 lead. With one out first baseman Eric Munson and rightfielder Ryan Ludwick started the rally with singles and designated hitter Brad Cresse walked to load the bases. Third baseman Brant Ust then blooped a two-run single to rightfield. Keoni DeRenne tied the game at 5-5 with an RBI groundout to shortstop. Bloomquist put the Americans ahead to stay with a two-out triple to the right centerfield gap to plate Ust. One batter later, Bloomquist scampered home on a wild pitch to give the USA a two-run cushion.
In the top of the ninth, Bloomquist drove in another insurance run for the Americans as the USA took an 8-5 lead. After Ust and DeRenne notched consecutive two-out singles, Bloomquist lined a single to left to score Ust. with the game's final tally.
USA starting pitcher Shane Nance (LHP, So.) hurled seven innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits to earn the win, his first of the tournament. he struck out six and walked five. Closer Matt Ginter (RHP, So.) was brilliant in relief as he dominated the Australian hitters. He threw two scoreless innings, struck out four and allowed just one hit to earn the save.
The USA Baseball National Team will face Canada on Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m. local time in Palermo, Italy, in the final game of the preliminary round at the World Championships. Casey Fossum is scheduled to start for the Americans.

Recap, Part Two: Princeton Men's Tennis Team's Trip to South Africa
The Princeton men's tennis team made its way to South Africa for a week-long trip in early June as part of its Marx Tour series, a quadrennial venture made possible by Louis Marx Jr. '53.
The team has taken the trip every four years since 1990, most recently visiting France in 2010. Below is a recap of the trip from rising senior Zack McCourt and rising sophomore Josh Yablon:
Part 1 of 2 of trip recap
After the team's visit to the Cheetah Outreach Center, the team grabbed lunch and hit the courts for a practice session before hosting a clinic for some of Cape Town's top local junior players. The children, ranging in age from 10-14, are among South Africa's elite in their respective age divisions. With the eastern side of Cape Town's renowned Table Mountain in the background of the team's picturesque venue, the afternoon was both productive and enjoyable for the team and South African junior players alike. It was especially rewarding to see how grateful the kids were for the opportunity to play against and learn from college players.
Despite the busy day, the next item on schedule entailed a 6 a.m. departure to the quaint coastal town of Gansbaai Point, a scenic two-hour drive southwest of Cape Town. Immediately upon arrival, the team began its shark-cage diving adventure with breakfast and briefing by the diving instructors, including the crew's resident marine biologist. After receiving their wetsuits, the team boarded the boat and embarked on its daring journey to test the fortitude of a simple steel cage against the ferocity that is a Great White shark.
As it turned out, the cage did its duty and there were no casualties. Surprisingly, the fearsome sharks showed little interest in the cage, including its foreign contents (us). The bait handlers aboard the vessel would cast bait directly in front of the cage, yelling, "Divers down!" every few minutes when a shark would approach. Divers would then dip underwater to observe the approaching shark for as long as they could hold their breath. Between seal watching en route to the shark-infested waters, to hurriedly changing into wetsuits before jumping into the water, to gulping down saltwater out of shark-viewing excitement, the day's activity was too fast-paced for the more fearful members of the team to entertain much anxiety. The frigid South African waters of the Indian Ocean and its turbulent waves wouldn't leave us unscathed, however. Author's note to future seafarers: the crew showed us that mint candy alleviates nausea rather effectively; just bring enough for everyone, and don't run out.
The team's final day of the trip was again eventful as the team set off to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront to board a ferry heading to the famed Robben Island. Only a 20-30 minute boat ride from the mainland, the site, home to many a seal and African penguin, is also home to the jail where the late South African president Nelson Mandela served 18 years during his 27-year imprisonment. First, a bus tour taught the team of the island's historical significance dating back over a hundred years before its days as a political prison during Apartheid. After arriving at the actual prison, a former political prisoner led a walking tour through the jail's facilities, which included a brief stop by Mandela's cell. The guide explained that Mandela captained the inmates, many of whom consisted of black political leaders including doctors, lawyers, professors and other highly educated professionals. These figures, in addition to their less prominent and sometimes illiterate inmate counterparts, were arrested during South Africa's anti-Apartheid movement.
By 1 p.m. we returned to the V&A Waterfront for lunch before heading back to the courts for a college-format match against some of South Africa's best competition. With a nearly two-hour practice preceding the four-hour match, the team's last day was yet again, nothing short of exhausting. After a total of 10 matches were contested, the Tigers came out on top to finish off the trip with a satisfying "W," capping the 2013-14 season once and for all.
The 2014 edition of the Marx Tour in South Africa sung a resounding reminder of how fortunate each member of the team is to represent Princeton at the highest level of collegiate athletics. As such, the conclusion of the trip saw the Tigers depart South Africa hungry to represent Princeton tennis better than ever before in the 2014-15 season.

Jan. 22, 2013
TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona women's soccer head coach Tony Amato has announced the addition of assistant coach Paul Nagy to his staff.
"Paul Nagy is a great addition to our staff and our program," Amato said. "He is a great coach and recruiter and brings a lot of experience to our team. I know he's excited to join the Arizona family and we're thrilled to have him."
Nagy comes to the Wildcats after spending the previous three seasons on Amato's staff at Stephen F. Austin University (SFA).
"I am thrilled to be a part of the coaching staff here at the University of Arizona," Nagy said. "I want to thank Tony for this wonderful opportunity and I'm excited for the future of this program."
In 2012, SFA posted a 17-4-0 overall record while winning all eight of its SLC games and a perfect 7-0-0 at home. The squad advanced to the NCAA Tournament. In 2011, Nagy was part of the Ladyjacks' coaching staff that led SFA to a 15-3-1 overall record, a 9-0 league record and the Southland Conference (SLC) regular-season title. Nagy oversaw the defense and goalkeepers, who proved not only to be the best in the SLC but also one of the best in the country. The Ladyjacks' defense posted goals against average of just .416, the fifth-best mark in the nation.
Nagy joined the SFA staff following a two-year stint as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the men's soccer program at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla. During his time at Rollins, Nagy helped lead the Tars to a 24-13-1 record. Rollins won the Sunshine State Conference Championship in 2009 and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to his stop at Rollins, Nagy was an assistant at the University of Central Florida for three seasons (2005-07). At UCF, he coached goalkeepers for two seasons before earning a promotion to the top assistant's spot and adding recruiting coordinator to his title.
The former goalkeeper served as a volunteer goalkeepers coach at TCU, Saint Louis University and LeMoyne College before accepting his position with UCF.
As a player, Nagy competed professionally for the Dallas Burn (MLS), Syracuse Salty Dogs (A-League), Hershey Wildcats (A-League) and Orlando Sharks (MISL). He was a four-year letterman on the Saint Louis University men's soccer team from 1997-2000, earning first-team All-Conference USA and all-region honors in 1999. He also played for a Billiken team that reached the NCAA Division I Final Four in 1997 while also winning four Conference USA titles in four years.
Nagy is a native of Grapevine, Texas. He earned a bachelor's degree in studio art with an emphasis on graphic design from Saint Louis, graduating with honors in 2002. He is the director of coaching for Nagy Goalkeeping School and Camps.

Employers are looking at new graduates, especially from college, for being young and open to change and new experiences, and awareness of technology that surpasses any other employable group. New graduates will have taken courses in computer programming. such as Java or classes in computer software, like Microsoft Word 2014. They will know social media, the means where companies currently market. They will be aware of I-pads, the latest smartphones and its applications. Still more will know how to use the latest digital camera equipment to make photos or videos from home. However, until they receive a job where they can showcase their abilities, employers won't see this group, and students themselves may not be aware of how this knowledge can help them.
1. Consider new careers. These are careers that have brand new job titles and new job fields. Here are some of the titles that can be found on The Occupational Outlook, www.bls.gov/ : financial/information clerks, recreation workers, skincare specialists, gaming surveillance officers, floral designers, library technicians, glaziers, solar photo-voltaire installers, exercise physiologists, forensic science technicians, arbitrators, health information technicians, genetic counselors, computer network architects, cost estimators, logiticians, radiation therapists, job analysis specialists and agriculture and food science technicians. These titles may seem like they are geared to someone with years of experience or education, but that isn't necessarily true. These jobs are looking for specific terms of education and skills that some students may already possess.For instance, high school seniors who are considering nursing can qualify for visiting the elderly in their homes (self-employment) without a bachelors degree. Or, the job may be obtainable in the near future, with the addition of new skills or specific classes or with a two or four year degree.
2. Take time to discover new talents. You may have taken piano lessons your entire life, but wanted to go to school for education or psychology. It's time to hone in on those talents, and come up with a specific job or business. Computer techies can help businesses with graphics or internet marketing. Those in physical fitness or those who are cooks can become nutritionists or exercise physiologists, or can work with youth in summer programs.
3. Intern or volunteer. Some volunteers get paid a salary, and some internships will not and vice -versa. If you can't get paid financially, you can gain valuable experience. It's no longer necessary to intern in a field you plan to go to college for, or for a degree you are majoring in or have already received. Internships can be eperimentations for jobs that you have a passion for, or a talent or other career options that you have considered.
Use every day to discover something new about yourself, your career, or any future goals. Do your research online or at the library. Take classes that are for your personal interests, as much as for your educational ones.

College Hockey:Jan. 3-4 WCHA picks: Tech, LSSU meet again in the Sault
All 10 WCHA teams are back in action now after the holidays, though not every school is in league play yet.
Michigan Tech is coming off a shootout win and overtime loss in the Great Lakes Invitational at Comerica Park in Detroit, Bowling Green split at the Three Rivers Classic in Pittsburgh and Alabama-Huntsville was swept at Wisconsin last weekend.
Here's Shane and my picks for this week. A thanks to Shane for being generous tallying our record from last weekend, giving us credit for Tech's shootout win and for the Huskies' loss, though we thought it would come against Michigan, not Western Michigan.
Michigan Tech at Lake Superior
Shane: This is the weekend's best matchup as the two teams close out the first half of conference play (each has played 12 league games) tied for fifth place. The Huskies are better than their record with a tough schedule, even though they're technically on a six-game winless streak. The Lakers went into break with one win in their last four. The teams split earlier this season; they'll do it again. Lakers 3-1, Huskies 2-1
Matt: Great matchup. Horrible weekend to schedule it on. I've railed on this before with the first meeting between these two teams scheduled during the opening weekend of deer hunting. Rain may have chased hunters from their deer blinds to MacInnes Student Ice Arena in November — I literally drove to and from Houghton in a thunderstorm for Game 2 — but not even a series with Tech is getting LSSU students to return early from holiday break. Lakers 4-2, Huskies 2-1
Bowling Green at Alabama Huntsville
Shane: The Chargers' lone win of the season came against the Falcons less than a month ago. Can they pull off another? If Bowling Green wants to stay in the race for home ice, it can't afford another slip. Falcons 5-2, 2-1
Matt: Bowling Green could have really fallen apart after that home loss to Huntsville, but rallied to take three points from Tech in Houghton — the Falcons scored two late goals with an extra attack to get a tie in Game 2 — and then split in Pittsburgh. I like BGSU to keep building. Falcons 3-1, 4-1
Northern Michigan at Bemidji State
Shane: Both of these teams enter the weekend on six-game winless streaks. Something's got to give, right? Well, with all of the overtime games the Beavers have played this season (8), maybe not. When the Wildcats played in Mankato, Minnesota State coach Mike Hastings said his team might have caught them at a good time. While CJ Ludwig isn't returning, Northern Michigan is getting other bodies back. I'm not going to predict ties here but: Beavers 3-2, Wildcats 3-2
Matt: When Shane says he's "not going to predict ties here," he means, "I'm predicting ties, but if I'm wrong, it kill my record." I concur with that. Beavers 3-1, Wildcats 2-1
Minnesota State at Alaska
Shane: The Mavericks begin their long, strange trip to Alaska where they will play both teams there, starting this weekend with the Nanooks. Minnesota State won seven in a row going into the break. Alaska snapped a five-game losing streak and closed out the first half 2-1-0. I think MSU keeps it rolling though. Mavericks 3-2, 4-2
Matt: If Alaska wants to make the WCHA playoffs, it needs to defend its home ice and can't get swept. At the same time, MSU needs every win it can get to keep pace with Ferris State. Mavericks 4-1, Nanooks 4-3
Mariucci Classic
Ferris State vs. RPI on Friday; FSU vs. Minnesota/Colgate winner on Saturday
Shane: The hope here, of course, is that the Bulldogs and host Gophers win in the first round to set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup on Saturday. That's also the call, but I'm afraid Ferris' unbeaten streak ends on Minnesota's home ice. Bulldogs 3-2, Gophers 4-2
Matt: Ferris should have no problem with RPI on Friday and I want to pick Ferris State to upset the Gophers on Saturday, but Mariucci Arena isn't as familiar to the Bulldogs as the last place they faced a top-5 team — Michigan at Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor. Bulldogs 4-1, Gophers 3-2
Alaska Anchorage at Wisconsin
Shane: The Seawolves' turnaround this season has been impressive, but they've done almost all of their damage at home. The next step is winning on the road. But the Badgers are 9-0-1 in Madison (where they've also played 10 of their 16 games) and likely will stay unbeaten. Badgers 5-1, 3-2
Matt: The Badgers have owned the WCHA so far this year, going 5-0-1 so far against Northern Michigan, Lake Superior State and Alabama-Huntsville. UAA is the league's last hope to beat Bucky, and I don't like the Seawolves chances. Badgers 4-1, 3-1
Last week: Shane 5-0-1; Matt 5-0-1. Overall records: Shane: 79-32-17; Matt: 72-39-17

Groups pressure Faulconer on plastic bag ban
SAN DIEGO - The heads of three environmental groups urged San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer on Tuesday to move forward a review of an ordinance that would sharply curtail the use of plastic shopping bags.
The review is a necessary step before the ordinance, a top priority for environmentalists, can be brought before the City Council for consideration.
Megan Baehrens, the executive director of San Diego Coastkeeper, said thousands of plastic bags were removed every year by volunteers during cleanup events.
"These are just the bags that we see -- they have not yet made it into the water," Baehrens said. "When bags float in or on the water, they pose a danger to fresh water fish and sea life."
She said a study showed chemicals are transferred to fish that ingest plastic bags, and those fish are then consumed by humans who catch them from piers or sportfishing charters.
Brian Pepin, Faulconer's representative at council meetings, said the mayor decided it would be more efficient to wait until the state legislative session ends before starting an environmental review.
The Legislature is considering a statewide ban on plastic bags, though previous attempts have failed.
Roger Kube, chairman of the local Surfrider chapter, said it had been nine months since a City Council committee asked the mayor's office to conduct an environmental review.
"I don't remember any caveat that we're going to wait for the state, and we feel we should not wait for the state," Kube said. "Regardless of what the state is doing, it's time for San Diego to act, and the time is now."
Debbie Hecht of the Sierra Club also spoke.
The three made their remarks during a public comment session.
Craig Gustafson, a mayoral spokesman, said Monday that if the current legislation also doesn't become law, the mayor would continue with the environmental review process for the local bill.
"The state is expected to take action on its proposed ban in September so it would be an inefficient use of taxpayer dollars to proceed with a review for a local ban before then," Gustafson said.
According to various news reports, this year's state proposal would offer financial incentives to the three plastic bag manufacturers located in California to convert to producing reusable bags, which would lower opposition to the bill.
"While we're hopeful that it will pass this time, we certainly don't want to continue to rely on the state," said Kube.
San Diego is the largest city in the state of California without a bag ban ordinance. More than 100 other cities have already taken the leap by banning the bag for environmental reasons.
However, the council cannot act until the mayor does.
"We're just tired of the wait-and-see approach," said Kube.
San Diego's proposed ordinance would ban plastic bags at most stores, mandate a 10-cent-per-bag charge for paper bags and require shopkeepers to maintain records for three years.
"It doesn't make sense because this was all intended to be about protecting marine life and getting rid of plastic bags," said American Forest & Paper Association spokesman Hector Barajas.
Plastic bags could still be used for meat, produce and prescription medications.
The restrictions would not apply to charities, large non-food retailers like Home Depot or government food providers.
A report done last year by the Encinitas-based Equinox Center concluded the ordinance would reduce the number of bags used in San Diego by 70 percent. The study found that about 500 million of the bags are used in San Diego annually, and 350 million fewer would be used if the proposed ordinance were adopted.

Kevin Yanes has commented on the quality of the competitive battles in the upcoming multiplatform video game, "Destiny," which is coming to the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. According to a report from Gameranx on April 4, the production engineer at Bungie stated that all he wanted to do is play the player vs. player multiplayer modes of the shared-world first-person shooter.
He went on to state that competitive modes are "so good and so addicting." You can find a set of "Destiny" screenshots with the media gallery located on the left-hand side of this article and his remarks below:
All I want to do when I get home is play our PvP. So good and so addicting!
Although "Destiny" includes competitive multiplayer modes, the primary focus on the multiplatform title will be on the cooperative experience. Players have the ability to team up and complete missions against computer-controlled enemies.
They can get a pre-release taste of the action with the online beta, which is slated to take place later this summer. The play test will be made available for the PS3 and PS4 before launching for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
The final version of "Destiny" is going to be published by Activision when it launches on Sept. 9 for all four aforementioned platforms. The PS3 and PS4 ports of the title will come with additional exclusive contents due to a partnership between Bungie and Sony Computer Entertainment.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Todd Tucker and "Carmen" allegations strike Kandi Burruss and Mama Joyce on the season premiere of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Are Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker married, is Todd dating Kandi's friend Carmen, and does Mama Joyce call Todd an "opportunist" in tonight's season premiere? Bravo unfortunately has a long history of taking clips of one dialogue and inserting in reference to another person. But in season previews for RHOA tonight, Bravo leaves viewers thinking that Mama Joyce accused Todd of cheating on Kandi with Carmen and being an opportunist.
First, Todd Tucker is still together dating Kandi Burruss this 2013. But they are not married. Recently Todd tweeted an image of a wedding setup in Mexico while on vacation with Kandi. His caption to the photo left fans thinking that he and Kandi got married. But Cynthia Bailey has since called those claims false. Ironically, Todd's tweet was just weeks after Kenya Moore tweeted an image of herself with a bling ring on her wedding finger. That too turned out to be a purported press play; Kenya is not engaged.
Second, tonight Mama Joyce is furious at Todd. Kandi then says "Mama says Todd and Carmen are having a relationship". Such is also allegedly also false. Kandi and Todd are still together, personally and professionally, with a new play debuting in Atlanta.
Finally, Mama Joyce tonight is furious saying "I think he is an opportunist". But was Mama's remarks made about Todd, or did Bravo take them out of context once again? And who is Carmen, Kandi Burruss' friend? The storyline will unfold starting tonight on Bravo.

Jason Taylor rips Jared Odrick's Pee-Wee Herman dance
If there's a kangaroo court in the Miami Dolphins' locker room, Jared Odrick had better duck.
For the second time in as many home games, the second-year defensive end celebrated a sack with his own particular (peculiar?) nod to the dance Pee-Wee Herman made famous a quarter century ago.
Later, during a break in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-9 win over the Redskins, the in-game entertainment crew at Sun Life Stadium played "Tequila," and many in the crowd of 57,007 danced to what is fast becoming Odrick's theme song.
"The whole Pee-Wee Herman thing is terrible," Jason Taylor said in mock disgust. "Odrick thinks he's cool now because they have a little song that they play in the fourth quarter. He thinks he's a trend setter. He's embarrassing himself."
Karlos Dansby, who along with Taylor had the other Dolphins sacks Sunday, also called Odrick's dance "terrible."
"He knows it's not terrible," Odrick protested. "So does JT. It's unique."
What does he think of Taylor's apparent disgust with this new ritual?
"JT's just mad because he's been here 15 years and doesn't have a theme song yet," Odrick shot back.
This isn't anything Odrick did at Penn State, of course.
"Four years at Penn State, you couldn't do anything," he said. "Every time you celebrated, you'd look around."
He then broke into a dead-on, high-pitched imitation of Joe Paterno.
"Act like you've been there before," Odrick/Paterno said. "We don't need any of that."
Cameron Wake, his fellow Nittany Lion, smiled and shook his head a few lockers down.
"Wow," Wake said. "Flashbacks."
Turns out Odrick's dance — which he first did after sacking Tim Tebow on Oct. 23 — is something his family requested. He apparently did something similar as a young player and decided to put it back into heavy rotation.
"It was something I enjoyed doing when I was young," Odrick said. "I thought I'd bring that back. I was doing it when I was a little kid and I thought I'd bring that back. My mom actually told me to start doing it."
Believe it or not, he might save The Pee-Wee for home games. There are other sack dances Odrick might like to trot out on the road. The only reason he failed to do one last week at Kansas City, he said, was because it was unclear at the time if his tackle would be counted as a sack on Matt Cassel.
"It's unfortunate they can't really support me and my dancing," Odrick said of his teammates, "but it's something I like and something my family likes, so I'm going to keep doing it."
Some of his fellow defensive linemen have threatened to steal one of his other dances, which he has made the mistake of discussing in their presence. But Odrick is fairly certain he won't have any competition when it comes to his ode to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."
He'd actually like to see the Dolphins' entertainment folks play "Tequila" with each of his future home sacks.
"Why not?" he said. "If they can cue it up that quick, why not? That gives me better rhythm and better timing when they play it. … I guess it goes along with that dance."
Who knows? If this keeps up, maybe Odrick will follow in Taylor's dancesteps and land a gig on "Dancing With the Stars."
Or not.

Credit card offers sent via mail are on the rise again. After all but disappearing in the depths of the recession, Synovate reported that direct mail credit card offers increased by 29% in the first quarter of 2010 versus the first quarter of 2009.
Synovate, which tracks direct mail through a tracking service known as Mail Monitor, also reported that nearly two thirds of offers provided a low introductory interest rate. However, the percentage of low and 0% balance transfer offers did decline.
The percent of credit card offers that carry annual fees increased slightly although the average annual fee dropped from $93 to $68 in the period measured.
Although the increase in mail offers tracked by Synovate could be viewed as a good sign, the company doesn't report on the credit quality of recipients. In all likelihood, the increase in offers went straight to the mailboxes of consumers perceived to have excellent credit, as opposed to people with good or average credit.
Ultimately, the fact that credit card companies are putting more offers in the mail is a good thing: it demonstrates that consumer lending is returning. Nevertheless, most consumers can likely find significantly better deals online. Most online credit card offers carry no annual fees and 0% interest rates on both purchases and balance transfers that last up to 12 months. Plus, when you shop for a credit card online, you can compare multiple deals.
If you simply accept a credit card offer from the mail, you could be missing out on the best credit card deals. As is the case with most products, it pays to shop online before making a decision.

Venice is a romantic land where some tourists and Venetians take rides on gondolas. It is also a mysterious city state in Italy where people disguise themselves with Venetian masks during festivals. When we look at the remarkable Colleoni statue at Lincoln Park, we can see that a part of Venice is in Newark. The statue of Colleoni that is in Lincoln Park is a replica of the original statue that stands in Venice created by Andrea del Verrocchio. Christian William Fergenspan, who was President of the Fergenspan Brewing Company in Newark, New Jersey, paid J. Massey Rhind $70,000 to create a copy of the Colleoni statue. The Colleoni statue once stood at Fergenspan's property at 53 Lincoln Park.
Bartolomei Colleoni was an Italian condottiero; a condottiero was the head of the Italian army. During his military career, he was very successful as he won many battles in Italy. In 1455, he was named captain-general of the republic for life. When Colleoni was not engaged in battle, he worked on agriculture and making improvements to his Venetian properties. He also helped others through his charitable works.
Before his death in 1475, Colleoni left money so a statue would be created so that other generations would remember him. Now Colleoni is not only remembered in Italy but also in the United States with the replica of the Colleoni statue at Lincoln Park, the only reproduction of this iconic statue in the world.

Firm sends discounts through group cell updates
John Vitti, the co-founder of Mobile Spinach, a local company that coordinates group-based retail discounts through mobile phone updates, launched a new initiative that features special deals from merchants along Muni routes.
Why did you decide to focus on merchants close to Muni lines? We're a heavy commuter city, and we thought it would be a great idea to feature commuter-specific offers. The idea is that everyone knows their stop, either on their way to work, the gym or home. If they're waiting for the bus, they can run in and grab a cup of coffee, or if they're on their way home, they can sit down for a bite to eat. The goal is to be timely and relevant.
Is there a specific type of business featured? We definitely wanted businesses with a close proximity to each stop, and we wanted them to make sense for a commuter. So we focused on things like spas, food and bars.
Any plans for expanding this initiative?
Right now, we only feature businesses on the N-Judah train line, and the 1, 38 and 22 bus lines. Every month, we plan on expanding to more Muni lines, and we're also open to the idea of bringing this offer to BART and other transit agencies.

*Click here for the DNP Tuition and Fees*
In addition to these fees, all students carrying 9 credits or more are required to have health insurance. To enroll in the Elms College plan, or to submit a waiver and proof of other insurance, go to University Health Plans.
We recognize the fact that financing a graduate education is a significant investment for students and their families, but especially in today's economy, an advanced degree just might be your ticket to a stable career.
While it is the responsibility of the student to pay college expenses prior to the beginning of each semester, Elms College is aware that many families may require financial assistance. Students anticipating the need for financial aid should submit a complete financial aid application by the priority-filing deadline each year. Awards are based on demonstrated need.
Financial aid is not renewable, so students must reapply for aid each academic year. That also means if your financial circumstances remain unchanged from year to year and you meet the priority-filing deadline, the financial aid package should contain approximately the same amount of aid.
Changes to family financial circumstances come in many forms:
A complete financial aid application consists of the following:
The financial aid office reserves the right to request additional information.
All students must be accepted for admission to Elms College before aid eligibility will be determined and awarded. Financial need has no bearing on your admission to Elms College.
Elms College awards federal financial aid to graduate students on the basis of demonstrated financial need. A federal formula is utilized in calculating a family contribution based on information provided on FAFSA, along with all of the required supporting documentation. The expected family contribution is based on a review of the family's resources from expected taxed and untaxed income along with assets such as savings. The family contribution is deducted from the student's cost of attendance resulting in the family's need.

'Single, Saved and Having Sex' Stirs a Conversation
*Most Christians have a pretty good grip on what the Bible says about sex. Burn in hell if you commit fornication, right? Despite the many warnings God's word may present, many young (and old) single Christians are defying that little note in the scripture and sexing. A piece that originally appeared in the May issue … Continue reading 'Single, Saved and Having Sex' Stirs a Conversation
Young Lost Souls
*Though a majority of teens and young adults identify as Christian, a new study suggests that only 15 percent of them have personal relationships with Christ and are deeply committed. Most American "Millenials" – those born between 1980 and 1991 – don't pray regularly. Few read their Bibles or other religious texts, and many don't … Continue reading Young Lost Souls

Re-posted from my blog: Malted Musings.
The other night I got to try the brand new Blue Point Brewing Company beer (during a tasting at Eli Cannon's Tap Room), which was great. Even better than the drink, though, was the company as I got a chance to talk to Blue Point's area representative, Jamal Robinson, all about the new happenings over at this very solid Long Island brewery.
First, as mentioned above, Blue Point has a brand new year-round beer out. This beer, called Mosaic Session IPA, is a great year-round brew. Fashioned to be hoppy without too much bitters, the beer pulls quickly, sharply, then fades to a fairly neutral after-taste pretty quickly. Jamal explained to me that the beer was intentionally brewed with multiple layers of the hop taste; Blue Point wasn't just satisfied with a typical bitter IPA, they wanted one with more texture that would be suited to year round drinking. This new beer is out on draft now and 6-packs will be forthcoming: they are taking their time doing a full roll out.
The talk turned to cans next. Mosaic may be getting put into cans at some point (which would be great, and a definite staple in my spring/summer beer rotation), and Jamal also said that Blue Point is working on having a rotating selection of 16 oz. cans available. So far in the rotation is Toxic Sludge, then White IPA, and then RastafaRye. Blue Point is still waiting to install a permanent canning line, but as soon as they do it's nice to see they have a plan of attack to release Blue Point cans upon beer drinkers everywhere!
The end of the conversation included talk about what's coming up soon from the brewery. Jamal told me that Blue Point is working on a Small Batch series that will include a Double Pilsner, an Imperial Red, and a West Coast IPA (basically a double sized Mosaic). Besides that Blue Point will once again be hosting Cask Fest on April 12th. This is a day of experimental casking that will boast 35 different breweries, bands, and other excitement going on. This event is largely acclaimed and highly recommended for anyone looking to experience beer the old fashioned way --out of a wooden vessel!
It was a great time at Eli's with Jamal and Blue Point (as usual); if you want to know more about Blue Point, check out their site. Then follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and G+ for more hot-off-the press local beer info and views!

The last few years have been ones of drastic change for Interpol. The college radio superstars' move to Capitol records proved short-lived, yielding only one record in more keyboard-leaning (but perhaps not as consistently lauded as their early work) Our Love to Admire. Since that time, the band made their way back to their original indie label home at Matador Records and released a self-titled record, leaning even further away from the sound of their mostly guitar-filled first two albums.
However, they came out of the sessions for Interpol minus a core member: bassist, keyboardist, and co-composer Carlos Dengler. Since then they've shuffled through bass players, after original replacement David Pajo (of Slint and Papa M fame), left to attend to family matters. A string of planned U.S. opening dates with U2 were cancelled last year after Bono suffered a back injury.
However, after the European U2 dates that went off without a hitch and Interpol managed to solidify a long list of headlining dates over the spring and summer (they'll be appearing at Bogarts here in Cincinnati on July 6th), the band seems finally back on track and ready to take their new circumstances as they come. Guitarist and founding member Daniel Kessler recently spoke with Each Note Secure about this important time in Interpol's career.
[Each Note Secure] Interpol has certainly carved out a name for itself with its records and touring history, so what was it like opening for a band on the level of U2? Did you have any moments of finding yourselves out of your element?
[Daniel Kessler] It's different any time you're not playing in front of your own audience. We seldom open up for another band; since the beginning we've always done our own tours, besides festivals of course. I didn't really over think it though, maybe from playing so many shows at this point. I just kind of went up there, and at the end of the day it's nothing more complicated than playing your own songs. Obviously, though, it's someone else's stage and you're playing for a crowd who's there to see the band after you.
It was a great experience, though. Their fans were very kind to us and very receptive. It was a lot of fun night after night.
[ENS] I remember reading interviews with Interpol as far back as the press coverage for Turn on the Bright Lights in 2002, and I remember being struck at the time by how important you all stated it was to keep things equal and democratic when it came to the function of the band. Now that it's been a while since Carlos has left, have you found a new balance or direction with only three decision-makers?
[DK] Bands are always going to be complicated when it comes to making decisions, especially when you're trying to make it democratic. You want everyone to have a say on something, but when you're coming up with a consensus sometimes it's unanimous and easy and sometimes there are different viewpoints. It never changes that we have a lot of discussion about anything that we do or something that's on the table.
Since it's been the three of us, we've just continued that way. There's a lot we discuss and if someone's really not feeling something we usually don't do it. Or if someone has questions about something the other guys were really into we try to have a dialogue about it. I think it's important – everyone's invested in this thing and is putting in the time and energy so you want to make it so everyone feels ok about everything we're doing.
[ENS] To my ears, Interpol has never been a band that has made a severe change to its sound from record to record, although there has been a slow organic shift. Do you feel there will be a more drastic shift going forward after losing an original member?
[DK] I think it's my nature to be more of a natural-growth person – I don't like forced changes, I like things to happen naturally. And that's the way it's been thus far. We have natural changes as we advance in our lives as people and we want our art to grow and change with us. Some people might have a different approach where they'll want to rip everything up and do it totally differently.
I feel like whenever we go back to the board with a fresh palette we try to do something differently but it's never forced – it's more of a desire to have a different approach. I think all of our records have certain traits that will remind people of our band but each have their own growth and sense of progression, and [Interpol] is no exception.
Moving forward, I don't know what it'll be like yet. One thing that's been consistent in the band is that we never make too many plans. It's never been something that's worked well, in terms of making grand designs when you're not there yet. It's one thing when you're actually at that table and you're ready to go, but we've still got a few tours ahead of us before we get to that point, and we've already toured quite hard over the last year. And I like that – I'd rather wait and see what we want to say at that moment rather than saying, "Here's what we want to see four, five, six months from now…" We'll want to know what we want to say when we start saying it: that makes more sense.
[ENS] Interpol has always seemed to have an intentional aesthetic with your dress, album artwork, stage settings, and videos that has been . . . I don't want to say "monochromatic," but probably "dark." I recently caught your most recent video, "Barricades," and it seems to have been shot with a lot more vibrant color, with even a few bursts of what looked like a color test pattern. Was this simply a choice by the video director, or does it reflect any aesthetic changes you're making going forward?
[DK] I feel like there's the outside perception of our band as being dark and macabre and so forth – I don't think of our band that way and I certainly don't think of the individuals in the band that way. I see Paul [Banks] often wearing very colorful shirts – I'm probably the one who wears the darkest clothes. I like to wear a black suit and a white shirt and it's kinda my uniform. It's not really dark so much as a classy kind of thing for me.
For something like "Barricades" the director pitched us on the treatment and the setting and we liked it. Even a video like the one for "C'mere" isn't such a dark video. I understand that most of our videos have an introspective setting because that's how the music is and it makes sense. However, I don't feel we have limitations to the aesthetics of what we put out there. I realize we've put things out there that have been more dark in nature, but I don't think that it's because it's how we want to be completely represented to people; that's just how it's been here and there.
[ENS] Do you have complete control over all the artwork and video aesthetics, or do you let others take their own ideas on how to present the band visually and run with them?
[DK] No, man, since day one we've had 100% control over the aesthetics and recording and anything that gets out there. And anyone who works for us understands that. It doesn't mean that every single thing we've done has been created by the band entirely, but everything we've done has been approved or worked on or molded with someone else. We obviously don't make our own videos but everything that's out there aesthetics-wise pertaining to the band has been through the band's process.
[ENS] I think Interpol's an interesting band in that you were really a leader in the first generation of bands that had a major presence in the blogosphere world of indie rock that's developed over the last ten years. As a band who's so intentional with your aesthetic and output, how do you feel about existing in this more open-source environment?
[DK] First of all, I accept it. I think that's important. I'm not going to sit here and talk about "the good old days," . . . that's silly. I think we came out at a very interesting time. For our first record, obviously the internet was already quite prevalent but people weren't downloading the way they are now – people still bought records. I think the way people found out our band was a bit more of a slow-paced word-of-mouth manner, closer to the old way – through college radio, independent record stores, and just people telling friends . . . you could really tell during the touring cycle.
By the time we put out Antics [things had changed]. It leaked ten days after we finished the record and two and a half months before the release date. So it was the beginning of how things are for bands these days, for the most part. It was an interesting time.
That said, I'll always look at the great side of where we're at in terms of a band being able to communicate directly with an audience and an online community. That [represents] freedom and that's great. There are opportunities for people all over the world to be connected to communities worldwide. If you live in a small town you're not punished for not having a really great record store. Even if you have a really specific taste in music you can go [online] and find music and other people and have a conversation – you're not isolated. You're also not at the direction of all the people between you and the band, meaning record labels and radio stations. You can have a direct connection, and to me that aspect is really exciting. I'm sure twenty years ago we couldn't have had an understanding of really how quickly we're accelerating towards this direct connection.

Hey Brooklyn Vegan!
hey ens!
What a great post! I just came across your music blog and I fell in love with it! It's spectacular!! Check out my indie music blog and follow if you like it! http://kaylapitcher.blogspot.com … See you soon, kisses!
Nice interview Joe!
I really REALLY used to love those guys, but not so much anymore. I relistened to their latest album just the other day (in view of possibly going to the Bogart's show), and it reaffirmed my first impressions that there's not a single song that sticks out or is memorable in any way. How is that possible? Compared to this, Our Love to Admire is a very sold album, and that's saying something.
Sorry, comments are closed.

If the officer does not have the warrant in his possession at the time of the arrest, he shall then inform the defendant of the offense charged and of the fact that the warrant has been issued. The summons shall be served as in civil actions, or by mailing it to the defendant's last known address.
(4) The person executing a warrant or serving a summons shall make return thereof to the magistrate as soon as practicable. At the request of the prosecuting attorney, any unexecuted warrant shall be returned to the magistrate for cancellation.

Why am I always second best?
Have I failed some sort of test?
You kiss me and hug me
And tell me you love me
So why am I second best?
You're dangling me by a thread
Putting dreams inside my head
I toss and turn
Because I yearn
Why do you dangle me by a thread?
My heart is bleeding and torn
You've put me through a storm
A string, no more
My heart is sore
My heart is bleeding and torn
I can't continue like this
In this agony, in this bliss
So until you choose
It seems I'll lose
I can't continue like this.

Tips to Help Your English Language Learners Soar by Lori Wolfe
by Lori Wolfe, Monthly Columnist
We are knee deep back at school and looking good!
October is the perfect month for teachers with second language learners to take a moment and think about their classroom set up and its connection to student achievement. Take a moment to insure that English Language Learners (ELLs) are oriented in the classroom to maximize lesson comprehension and learning. Preferential sitting will facilitate the understanding of the lesson.
Here is a quick checklist you can use in your classroom:
Enhance the language growth of your English Language Learners in the classroom by monitoring their English pronunciation and grammar. Of course we don't want to correct every error, so select one or two language errors you notice (E.g. incorrect pronoun usage or irregular past tense verbs) and monitor and correct those issues when you notice them.
Throughout the year it is important to accurately assess an ELLs reading comprehension. Some intermediate language level ELLs can decode and orally read a passage without understanding a word. Continually checking on reading comprehension and teaching comprehension strategies is imperative for ELL reading growth.
Finally, if you have a volunteer in the room, don't forget the ELLs. Use your volunteers to insure your second language learners comprehend your instructions and lessons. These good Samaritans, can reteach your basic classroom procedures and routines to your ELLs assuring that they understand the daily procedure and set up of your room. Help differentiate your instruction for second language learners by providing materials the volunteer can use one on one with lower language students. A great use of your volunteers is to team them up with shy or reluctant speakers. This configuration gives those students a smaller, safer setting to interact with a native speaker and connect to the class work.
What strategies do you use to insure growth for your second language learners? Please share your ideas with us!

Word of the Day: Wassail
This is a very old word, going back certainly to before the Norman invasion, and thus to before Christmas was celebrated in the British Isles. The word 'wassail' comes from an Anglo-Saxon toast, "be thou healthy (hale)", to which the correct response was apparently "drink healthy". Old as the word is, though, Shakespeare still manages to anachronistically plant it in the mouth of Octavius Caesar (63BC – 14AD) about a quarter of the way through Antony and Cleopatra. Speaking to Antony, and disapproving with the Roman's Egyptian love, he pleads, "Antony, / Leave thy lascivious wassails."
As Octavius' comments make clear, "wassail" is often not too highly regarded. Originally, the practice of wassailing involved a trip from door to door singing carols; however, this pleasant activity could easily become less cheery when the carollers requested alms and drink or, after having received their drink, then became rowdy. This is the sense of wassail most often found in Shakespeare (is Shakespeare a grinch? Again, the question seems relevant). Take this famous passage from Hamlet as an example, where "wassail" is synonymous with unruly behaviour:
HAMLET The King doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels;
And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
The triumph of his pledge.
Similarly, it is with drink and "wassail" that Lady Macbeth plans to befuddle the guards around King Duncan, thus allowing her husband a chance at regicide.
Not to finish on a dismal note, I leave you with the last two occurrences of Shakespeare's five mentions of "wassail". Falstaff, being rather fat, compares himself to a "wassail candle" since he, like such objects, is made of "tallow". In Love's Labour's Lost Berowne, last seen talking about Christmas, also gives us a reference to wassail, describing Boyet as "wit's pedlar, and retails his wares / At wakes, and wassails, meetings, markets, fairs […]".
