oops Left out the N in Linen....LOL omgosh :)ReplyDelete
WOW!! I love them all but especially crazy about Linen Closet and the Green Stack! Two very different looks but both really wonderful!ReplyDelete
The very first thing I ever bought from DCWV was the Far East Stack. It has always been my very favorite. The updated Far East Stack is now at the top of my wish list. Can't wait to see it and the other stacks you showed us today in person. I was able to see the grid on the Green Stack in your video - very nice. So excited about all the new-again stacks!ReplyDelete
I love the citrus and Far East stacks, in fact I just love all of your stacks. I've never met a stack I didn't like!ReplyDelete

So can we still get the old stacks or are just the new ones available? Because I might need to start hording if not :) Excited to see how the old and new work together!ReplyDelete
I already have the previous Linen Closet (my all time fave) and the Green stacks, but the new ones are must haves ! The Citrus will be perfect to scrap upcoming summer photos ! So pretty !ReplyDelete
Wow!!! Love the new stacks. The new Citrus and Green have got to find the way to my house!!! Fabulous.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! At first I thought the Citrus stack was my favorite, but then I saw the Linen Closet stack and now I don't know which one I like best! They are both gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Awesome new stacks!! I'm loving the patterns and colors.ReplyDelete

Got to visit joanns soon.. waiting for even more beautiful and colorful stacksReplyDelete
I love all your paper stacks but I have a question for you. Everyone puts out Patriotic papers for the US but no one puts out one for Canada, do you not realize that a lot of Canadians are Scrapbookers too? I would love to see a Canadian paper stack.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I hope you made lots of the Linen Closet! I'll be getting that one. Thanks for such great quality papers.ReplyDelete
I love them all. I was going to say the Green stack was my favorite but now I am not sure. All of them are wonderful. I would love to have them all in my stash. Great job updated them all. The linen closet is so pretty, I love those hexagons. The far east is beautiful. All the different designs. The Green Stack is so adorable and it is hard to see the texture on the video but I am sure it is a great addition to the wonderful paper. The citrus stack is so cute too. I love all those colors.ReplyDelete
yay!!! i love the new citrus just as much as i expected! but the GREEN STACK! I love it WAAAY more than i expected! the little foxes are so cute!ReplyDelete

OMG!! I have and love the original Far East Stack but I LOVE the new look. All that foil is just so perfect and the crane and dragon designs, to die for. OK, maybe not quite but you get the idea. I haven't seen the original Linen Closet but I love this new one. Again great with the foil and those sentiments were fantastic. On the wish list you must go but probably will be a while before those reach my corner of the planet. Sigh!ReplyDelete
Love them all! I'm going to start with the new Citrus...yummmmmmm.ReplyDelete

Delicious stacks :)ReplyDelete
Too hard to pick just one, both the Green Stack and Citrus stack are winners with me!!!
All four are beautiful, but the Linen Closet is my favorite by far! Followed by the Citrus stack. I would love to have any of the four but those two are on top of my "want & need" list!ReplyDelete
Love the revamped Linen Closet. It is a must have. Would love to have any of them.ReplyDelete

OH YUMMY!!!!! Love them all.......ReplyDelete
I really love the re-releases. The Citrus Stack was always one of my favorite, I'm going the new one even more.ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the Linen Closet stack. I can't wait to get it.ReplyDelete
Love...Love...Love...especially the Linen Closet and Citrus stacks!ReplyDelete
instead of winning paper - I need to win a room to put it all in.... 5 boxes of stacks - most of which are DCWV --- help, I have a serious paper addictionReplyDelete
I love all the new stacks. I am so addicted to your papers.ReplyDelete
the new citrus and linen stacks are must haves for me.ReplyDelete
I think my fave is the Linen Closet stack. I love the colors and the stickers.ReplyDelete
Awesome updates....love the new Citrus and Green!ReplyDelete
I am absolutely in love with the Linen Closet Stack!!! It is gorgeous! So is the Far East Stack, but I would probably not use it. I like the Green Stack because I have three boy scouts (one is my husband!) who do a lot of camping. I like The Citrus Stack because it is just so bright and cheerful.ReplyDelete
I love the updated stacks. I already have the original Citrus, Green and Linen Closet Stacks but the new ones are so pretty. My faves are the Citrus and Linen Closet stacks. :)ReplyDelete
What fun stacks!!ReplyDelete
I loved the Green stack the best. So cute and very outdoorsie.

Wow! I adore the Far Eastern one! I love the addition of foil. It would be perfect for scrapping my pictures from my trip to China. I love the updated colours in the Linen stack too. They are all greatReplyDelete
WOW!!! I hate changing Linens on my bed, but I would LOVE changing and playing with designs from the Linen Stack. AWESOME improvements on all stacks and by the way, LOVE your beautiful new hair cut for summer....very CHIC!!ReplyDelete

It was not a surprise when Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart announced Monday, April 7, 2014, that he would enter the 2014 NBA draft. Last year after an amazing freshman year in which he was named an All American and was assured to be a high first round pick, there was a lot more anticipation about his decision.
He said earlier in the year this would be his last season in Stillwater, and the announcement just made it official. He surprised some by coming back for his sophomore season, but with a lot of firepower returning, he felt the team had a chance to be very good. The team struggled during the year and lost early in the NCAA tournament.
"Marcus has had an incredible impact on our program," OSU head coach Travis Ford said. "He has been a joy to coach, and we've enjoyed having him on our team. He is going to have a terrific career for a long time in the NBA. No matter what team he ends up with, they are going to get a great player and, more importantly, a special person. We wish him all the best, and Marcus will always be a Cowboy."
Smart garnered All-America honors from both the Associated Press and the National Association of Basketball Coaches following his sophomore season. He became the first OSU player ever to twice be named an All-American by the NABC. He led the Cowboys in scoring (18.0 ppg), assists (4.8 apg) and steals (2.9 spg) while propelling Oklahoma State to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship for a second-consecutive season.
Smart rewrote the OSU record book in regards to his defensive prowess. A two-time Big 12 All-Defensive team selection, he established a school record for steals in a game with nine vs Utah Valley on Nov. 12. He tied the school record for steals in a season with 99 as a freshman, and finished his two-year career with 189 steals, the second-most in school history. He averaged 2.94 steals per game in his career, also a school record.
Smart joined John Lucas as the only players in school history to record a pair of 500-point, 100-assist seasons. He is just the second player in school history to surpass the 1,000-point milestone in his sophomore season, joining James Anderson. Smart became the first player in NCAA Tournament history to record 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals in a game (finished with 23 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and six steals vs Gonzaga). He nearly recorded a triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists at Kansas.
"I've had a wonderful two years at Oklahoma State, and I wouldn't trade them for anything," Smart said. "I want to thank Coach Ford, the coaches, my teammates and the OSU fans for a fantastic college career. I feel like this is the best time for me to open a new chapter in my life, and fulfill one of my life-long dreams, which is playing in the NBA."

Materials handling comes to the Food Network (Well, sort of)
How cool is materials handling? So cool that Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis plans to visit the Applied Technology Center in Rock Hill, SC, where high school students are learning warehousing and distribution basics. Heck, it's so cool I learned about Giada's visit on Balanced Fork, Healthy Life, a food blog (Full disclosure - that's a totally gratuitous plug. The blog is written by Lauren Forger, daughter of our former editorial director, but it's a good read and I wanted to give her a shout out).
Now that I've made you all feel like your kids will no longer be embarrassed when they explain what their parents do for a living, truth is that Giada is bringing her film crew to the Applied Technology Center to learn more about Back the Pack, a program I wrote about back in December.
Sue Kutz, the driving force behind the program, was named one of L'Oreal Paris' 10 Women of Worth, which spotlights tireless advocates for service and change in their communities. The program identifies elementary and middle school children who go hungry at home and discretely fills their backpacks with nonperishable foods to get them through the weekend.
The materials handling connection? Students in the warehousing and distribution center receive and putaway the donated food items and then use the center's order fulfillment systems to pick and pack the food that will go into backpacks.
"I have a new insight and deep respect for the importance that distribution plays in delivering the product to the end user and in this case it's a hungry child," Kutz told me last December. "And I think it's great that the kids are learning about warehouse distribution, and they're also learning about community service too."
It's great to see our industry involved in programs like this and making a difference. Let's hope that Giada asks a question or two about the importance of horizontal carousels, bar code scanning and conveyors as she's putting her report together.

A photographic collection of some common, and not so common, North American dragonflies, including informative text detailing each pictured species and of dragonflies in general.
Avid nature photographer with butterflies and dragonflies as favorite subjects. Nothing I enjoy more than spending a warm summer's day afield in pursuit of these beautiful and interesting creatures in their natural habitat. Love photographing any other six-legged creatures that crawl or fly, as well as birds.

Last night Attorney John Morgan sat down with some young Republicans and answered some questions about medical marijuana. Questions like Why? Then questions about what would God think about all this and your push for Medical Marijuana in the State of Florida?
To the first question why should we have it, because his father had cancer, he self medicated, and it helped him get through the chemo and nausea. As to the what would God think, he simply stated that he put it here so I guess he wants us to use it.
You see what is happening here in Florida is that for so long we thought that marijuana was only good for getting high. Funny thing about 30 plus years ago our country knew it was good for other things and even put a patent on it - Number 6630507. We have known all along that it had qualities that could be used for good. We also had government agencies that were afraid that if we knew this that we as citizens would push for it and that would hurt the pharmaceutical companies as well as the government agencies. They might go out of business.
John Morgan has seen through the red tape and knows from his own experience that it helps people deal with diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, and glaucoma. It helps in other ways as well. The University of Arizona has just been given permission to look at Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in veterans.
Morgan has targeted a group called Generation Jones. They are the youngest of the baby boomers and they tend to be pro marijuana. They have smoked it, seen it, and had to deal with it most of their lives. They don't think marijuana is all that bad. Our President falls into the Jonser's and he has spoken his mind on the subject and doesn't see pot as that big of a deal.
The ideas have changed. The stigma of that bad weed is falling apart. The time has come when it will eventually be legalized but in the mean time it has to go through stages, and the first stage is for the medical marijuana legislation to be passed so that millions of people can be helped. This will happen in Florida no matter what, come election day when it will be passed by a large majority of Floridians voting yes. Thanks to John Morgan it will become a reality in Florida. For information on the status of the legalization of medical marijuana in the State of Florida please go to forthepeople.com

Mmm, mmm, mmmm. The combination of fresh mango, lime, and cilantro just screams summer. Food like this makes me want to kick off my shoes and go run through the sprinkler a few times. (I can't tell you how glad I am…finally!…for the warmer weather.) This salsa has a really good balance of flavors and […]
Fennel & Jicama Slaw
Summer's coming. This means a lot of things for The Mouse House, not the least of which is a lot more barbecue. Now, I like my barbecue more on the melt-your-face-off-hot side of things. This slaw is cool, crisp, and oh-so-refreshing�making it a great counterpoint to any kind of spicy food. (Looking for another easy […]fennel, green onion, jicama, orange, salad
Cheese Tasting, Part 2: Goat Cheese
Mmmmm, cheese. It has to be one of my favorite topics�and things to eat. Last time we did a cheese tasting, we were nibbling on blues. This time, it's goat cheese. And let me tell you: Not all goat cheeses are super goat-y. Here's a quick peek at four milder goat cheeses we sampled recently. […]
Classic Cucumber Salad
I remember versions of this from summer picnics when I was a little mouse. It's one of the first things I love to make when the winter weather starts to break. This salad is a cool and classic combination of sour cream and dill. To prepare it, you soak the cuke slices in a little […]cucumber, dill, lemon, pickle, salad, sour cream
Buttermilk Cornbread
Sometimes I bake things, then need to immediately give them away so I don't gobble down the whole pan. You know how that goes? This cornbread is like that. It's sweet, light, and soft�with just the right amount of bite from stone-ground cornmeal. And since it's made with low-fat buttermilk and olive oil (instead of […]
Fresh Herb Egg White Omelet with Black Olives & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
So recently, I found myself with a bunch of spare egg whites. (Stay tuned to find out what happened to the yolks sometime later this week…) I was starving when this happened. I whipped them together quickly with a handful of stuff I had in the fridge, and…voila! A super light omelet that was packed […]eggs, herbs, olives, sage, thyme, tomatoes
Fiery Chili Lime Rice
I've said it before: I love hot food. This rice is a fabulously spicy side that's packed with flavor. Turn it into a more substantial meal by tossing in some sauteed shrimp or leftover roast chicken or pork. This rice gets a triple kick of heat from cayenne, chipotle, and Aleppo chili flakes�and a potent […]basmati, chili, cilantro, garlic, lime, rice
Open-Faced Avocado Sandwich
If butter were a vegetable, it'd be an avocado. (It's no wonder I love these little green guys so much.) This sandwich is one of my guilty pleasures. It's a great, no-hassle lunch or dinner in a pinch. I mean, let's face it: Sometimes, you just don't feel like cooking.avocado, lemon, olive oil
Eggplant Fries
Be still my heart. Those aren't french fries. They're eggplant fries! As in, eggplant in french-fry form. Are they healthier for you? Probably not. Do they make up for it by being super delicious? Oh, hell yeah. Now, I have to admit that I'm conflicted about eggplant. It's definitely not one of my favorite veggies. […]appetizers, eggplant, fries, mom, olive oil
Mashed Parsnip & Potato Pancakes
What's the thing I like best about making my mashed parsnips and potatoes? Transforming the leftovers into light and fluffy mashed potato pancakes. They're crisp on the outside, and creamy on the inside. Serve them for brunch with a dollop of garlick-y sour cream or a compound butter with freshly grated Parmesan and garlic. They're […]pancakes, parsnip, potatoes

Re: The `risky-local-variable' blacklist
Davis Herring <herring <at> lanl.gov>
> The problem with the change you've proposed is that we'd have to go > through and find check nearly all the variables in Emacs, and mark > most of them as ok to change. That is a lot of work. I believe that few variables are really useful to set locally; that's why I gave the list from the Emacs lisp/ directory. There is no need, for instance, to give a per-file value to `abbrev-all-caps', nor `blink-cursor', `c-default-style', `c-tab-always-indent', `christian-holidays', `comint-highlight-input' (to what file would this even apply?), `comment-auto-fill-only-comments', `compilation-ask-about-save', `confirm-kill-emacs', `crisp-mode', `delete-exited-processes', `ediff-make-buffers-readonly-at-startup', `eol-mnemonic-mac', `executable-chmod', nor many others (I obviously was looking alphabetically). In summary, in my Emacs (21.3.1) "emacs -q --no-site-file" yields only 498 non-risky user variables (as tested by `user-variable-p', `boundp', and `risky-local-variable-p'), 48 of which are "-mode$" variables that (according to the manual) should almost never be set by a file. It is not unreasonable to mark the most useful of these (and of those in the regular-file major-mode lisp files, of which there are relatively few) `safe'; `files.el' already marks nearly 50 `risky'. If any truly useful ones were missed, they would be quickly noticed and easily accounted for. I did say (sincerely) that I was willing to undertake the tedium associated with this, including (perhaps) an easy way to report (to me, say) a variable as obviously safe when a prompt is perceived as unneeded. While the probability of Emacs exploits this way is fairly small, the resulting damage (to, among other things, people's opinions of Emacs) would be notable, and none of us want to see that happen.(Continue reading)

College Hockey:MASCAC picks: Dec. 7
Talk about a great week! For the first time this season I swept all my MASCAC picks!
Another exciting weekend of MASCAC hockey is upon us, as we approach the halfway point for most D-III conferences. In the MASCAC standings, there seems to be a tight race for the top, as only two points separate the top four teams. With big implications on the line, fans should be ready to watch some exciting action!
Let's take a look at the picks.
Saturday, Dec. 8
Mass.-Dartmouth Corsairs vs. Framingham State Rams
With the way the Corsairs are playing, there is no letdown in this one. Framingham State right now has yet to find a win, and has given up the most goals in the conference. Up font, the Corsairs are one of the strong teams in the MASCAC, and will roll past the Rams. Mass.-Dartmouth 6-1
Salem State Vikings vs. Worcester State Lancers
A very intriguing match-up in the MASCAC. Worcester has been able to keep games close, and has now won three straight. The Lancers look like they may have turned a corner here, but unfortunately, the momentum stops in this game. The Vikings are a MASCAC title contender, and have been solid defensively all season. Salem State will gain from its defense in this game and be more aggressive up front. Salem State 5-2
Fitchburg State Falcons vs. Plymouth State Panthers
Talk about your nail-biter. This one has all the makings to have you on the edge of your seat. The Falcons are one of the stronger offense teams in the MASCAC all season, while Plymouth State has been able to keep a lot of pucks out of the net. The Panthers though, at home have been lights out and are a bit deeper roster wise. I like Plymouth, but in a close one. Plymouth State 4-2
Record to Date: 10-6-2 (22 pts.)

For a quick, nutritious breakfast for two made with fresh ingredients from the market, pick up the following:
Bacon, Eggs, Kale, Garlic, Tomatoes and Cheese
Remove kale from the ribs, wash and chop into 1-inch strips. Scramble 4 eggs and set aside. Crush 1-2 cloves garlic, or more as you prefer. Slice some pear or cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Chop the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the bacon and 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook bacon until done but not crisp, then remove bacon and set aside. Add garlic to pan and cook for just one minute before adding kale. Season kale with 1 tsp kosher salt. Saute kale until soft, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary for moisture. Once kale is to desired consistency, add tomatoes and allow to cook down until juices disperse. Flatten tomatoes with back of spoon to release juices and flavor. Add scrambled eggs and stir occasionally, cooking unitl eggs are desired consistency. Add bacon back to pan and heat through. Top with shredded cheese and serve with bacon and cheese biscuits made from scratch or purchased from your favorite local bakery, such as Batch Bakehouse on Willy Street.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 24 July 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410724-TC-JWC-01; CL 13: 198
Scotsbrig, Saturday Night [24 July 1841]. / (late)
My dear Jeannie,
Here is your second Note; for which, as well as for the other, many thanks You do not say whether you got mine or not; but I conclude there is no doubt.
Today, ever since 3 in the morning, I am decidedly out of order (Castor in me &c, without any effect,—a bad outlook for this night!)—and for anything I can yet see it may chance to prove rather a bad business for me, that of driving even to Dumfries and back again. Especially as there is, at bottom, no need of it. If you do not see me on arriving at Dumfries, you have only to continue in the same Coach some eleven miles farther, and be set down "at the Flosh Toll-bar," or rather a hundred yards beyond it, which is Austins yett [gate]: there, if able to crawl I will be, or if not I some to receive you, and the Gig to Newby will be in readiness. It seems clearly the best place. Your Coach stops about a quarter of an hour at the King's Arms Inn: during this interval if you do not dine with the others as is very unlikely you may run over to Jean's,1 and explain why I am not there.— To avoid all uncertainty, I will conclude by undertaking not to be at Dumfries: so you may engage from Thornhill at once all the way to "the Flosh Bar" (7 miles on this side of Annan), and then there will be no anxiety about your "place" &c at Dumfries.
If by some unexpected chance (bad headache &c) you should even fail us on Monday, I will go to Newby myself,—very desolate, I do suppose,—and on Tuesday (the hour is about 4½ p.m. I believe) there will again be I and a Gig at Austin's for you,—or 100 yards beyond that same Flosh Bar above spoken of. The name of Austin's farm is Gill (hard g). Is not this enough?
Writing is making me horribly sick; I have had one of the ugliest days, but passed it happily all alone,—and done less mischief than usual.
Good night, poor Goody. You will come on Monday now, in spite of that unexampled toleration I give you? Good night.
Yours ever /
T. Carlyle

Tuesday, August 19, 2014: Yesterday's playful childlike mood continues today.... and certainly a little playfulness can brighten everyone's day and make anything more fun. But underlying the sky's message of playfulness is a serious intent... a call to compassion and love.
Though there may seem to be a disparity between seriousness and light hearted childlike playfulness... there are times when serious intent can inspire lighthearted playfulness that says I feel your pain. And there are those who cover their pain with a lighthearted playfulness that makes the world a better place.
Almost daily you can see the sky's message playing out in the news. And... Last week, even against the back ground of war and mayhem, the world watched a myriad of videos that made them laugh even as tears flowed down their cheeks and we witnessed the outpouring of love and empathy for Robin Williams, a comedic genius who was as empathetic and compassionate as he was playful.
Then that serious, but still playful, outpouring of love for Williams was followed the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge". This "Challenge" was an inspired and playful symbolic sharing of the pain of all those that suffer with Lou Gehrig's disease. Both the outpouring of love and empathy for the brilliantly funny... brilliantly serious.... Robin Williams and the playful goodhearted fun of "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" are a perfect reflection of fun coupled with tears of empathy and compassion for others.
Today, allow yourself to step into the shoes of others and experience the richness of the joy and suffering of each person you meet. Then smile, brighten someone's day and remember, you are never alone in either your joy or your deepest suffering.
Today's Quote
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
Within You Without You ~ Written by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison

LOOK3 2011: Ashley Gilbertson On War, PTSD and His Project Bedrooms of the Fallen
At a Master's Talk this afternoon at the LOOK3 festival in Charlottesville, VA, Ashley Gilbertson talked passionately about his project, "Bedrooms of the Fallen," which depicts the rooms of soldiers from coalition countries such as the United States, France and Scotland who were killed at war.
He credited a talk Eugene Richards gave three years ago at LOOK3 with giving him the idea for the project. Richards had shown photographs he'd taken of his dying father; one in particular, of a dress shirt hanging in his father's bedroom, stood out to both Gilbertson and to his wife, who also heard Richards' talk.
After working on assignments in Iraq, Gilbertson had been "dwelling on death and what it meant to die at war," partly because he felt responsible for a soldier who had been killed while escorting Gilbertson to make a photograph in a minaret during the siege of Fallujah. The "Bedrooms of the Fallen" project gave him a way to connect viewers to the lives of the young men and women lost in war, and to glimpse some of the impact those losses have on the families left behind.
Gilbertson also spoke forcefully and eloquently about post-traumatic stress and the country's need to do more for the 2.5 million people among us who have been to war and come home. His grandfather suffered from PTSD and it destroyed mother's family, he told the crowd. Understanding how war does this to people was the reason he wanted to photograph war. Gilbertson says he got his answer, but adds, "I wish I had never gone."
Gilbertson says he often works from a feeling of anger. His strong feelings about how the government is taking care of soldiers with PTSD led him to create a body of work about a Colorado town that was particularly hard hit when soldiers who had returned from war hurt and killed several citizens and other soldiers. He shot landscape images at locations where the crimes were committed. He also showed portraits of people who had lost children or spouses to PTSD-related suicides.
He also showed portraits of soldiers in their civilian clothing, a project he developed to illustrate how they live among us.
A television network, he said, had told him never to pitch them stories about PTSD again, because viewers change the channel when the subject is addressed. Photographers "have to find ways to tell stories in a way that people will pay attention to," he said.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Tom Brady in today's Colts vs. Patriots 2012 game (live score below) is holding a strong Andrew Luck in the first half. Current score at halftime is 17-24 after a strong surge by Brady in the second quarter. So far, Brady has one passing touchdown and nearly two hundred yards Sunday.
In the first quarter, Delone Carter scored quickly with a one yard run. Three minutes later, Rob Gronkowski impressed news with a four yard touchdown catch from Brady.
Thereafter, TY Hilton put the Colts back on top. Hilton caught a fourteen yard touchdown pass from Luck and a kick thereafter by Adam Vinatieri gave the Colts a strong first quarter lead.
But the situation changed quickly. Julian Edelman shocked news with a sixty-nine touchdown punt return. The Patriots continued their scoring run in the second. Aqib Talib delivered a forty-nine yard touchdown reception and Stephen Gostkowski produced a thirty-one yard field goal. The Colts' only numbers in the second came from a forty-seven yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri .
Both teams started Sunday with an impressive 6-3 record. The Patriots, however, have only lost one game at home this season, while the Colts have split their games on the road. For live score updates today, click HERE.

Insomnia is a persistent problem with getting to sleep, staying asleep, or waking early and not returning to sleep. It is very common and it is estimated that one in three of us suffers from bouts of insomnia in our lifetimes.
Because you're sleeping badly it makes sense to think you have insomnia and our research suggests that 51% of people go and buy sleep remedies without getting any advice from a health professional, such as a pharmacist.
Taking medicines without advice from a health professional can be dangerous. For example, you can misdiagnose your condition, take the wrong medicine, experience adverse side effects, take the wrong dose, or become addicted to certain medicines.
If you are worried about your sleeping habits or have been taking sleep remedies for a long period of time with no advice from a health professional, visit your local pharmacist or GP for further advice and support.
What you can do to help yourself
Before reaching for your medicine cabinet, try these simple techniques to help you get a better night's sleep:
• Establish fixed times for going to bed and waking up and resist the temptation of lying in after a bad night's sleep.
• Do not use the weekends to catch up on sleep as this may upset the natural body rhythm that you have got used to during the week.
• Avoid napping during the day.
• Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol within six hours of going to bed.
• Avoid strenuous exercise within four hours of going to bed (exercise in the middle of the day is beneficial).
• Avoid eating a heavy meal just before bed (a light snack may be helpful).
• Maintain a comfortable sleeping environment. Your bedroom should not be too hot, cold, noisy or bright (earplugs and eyeshades may help).
• Try to relax and wind down with a routine before going to bed.
• Only use the bedroom for sleep and sex and don't use the bedroom for activities such as work, eating and television.
• Hide your alarm clock. Watching or checking the clock will not help you sleep.
• If you cannot sleep after 30 minutes get up. Try going into another room, reading or watching TV and return to bed when you feel sleepy.
If you are still having difficulty sleeping, consult your local pharmacist. They are experts in medicines and can talk to you about insomnia, advise you about medicines and other treatments and recommend a visit to your GP if needed. The vast majority of pharmacies now have private consultation area so you can talk to your pharmacist confidentially and you won't be overheard.
Insomnia facts
Our research found that 30% of people with experience of insomnia who had taken sleeping remedies had taken them for more than a month without getting advice, including 14% of respondents had taken them for more than 6 months.
Long-term insomnia (defined as lasting for a month or more) usually relates to other health problems. Approximately 20% of long-term insomnia has no other health condition associated with it. The vast majority of cases are connected to underlying physical or mental health issues, for example asthma, heart disease, anxiety or depression. When asked how prevalent the underlying causes of insomnia are, 70% of respondents either did not know or significantly underestimated this figure, meaning that for many, the real reason for their insomnia could go untreated and put their health at risk.
Sleeping remedies can be effective for treatment of mild insomnia but are not a long-term solution. You may be treating a symptom rather than a cause and you won't find out what's really wrong without the advice of a health professional.
Useful links
NHS Choices and www.patient.co.uk have lots of information about insomnia and treatment options.

Clients, employees and friends of Elevate Fitness gathered at the studio in Menifee recently to celebrate the first anniversary of the popular workout facility.
Owner Paul David welcomed guests to the downtown business, where he and staff members help Menifee residents tone their bodies, gaining strength and flexibility. Using simple devices to teach clients resistance training, the staff of Elevate Fitness has helped many people lose weight, improve their health and have a happier outlook on life.
"When I first opened Elevate, it was with the intention to create a place that would not only lift people up physically and emotionally, but also create a strong sense of community," David said. "Tonight was more than just a celebration of our one-year anniversary. To see the smiles on our clients tonight was a testimony of the encouraging and supportive community that's been established here in such a short time.
"Tonight was also an excuse to bring as many of our clients together and thanking these early adopters for their support and for trusting us with their health. I am especially grateful to be surrounded by a team of coaches that love to give, are humble and are dedicated to learning -- three qualities that cannot be taught but are required to create the environment that Elevate provides."
Guests at the anniversary party were treated to a buffet meal, musical entertainment and the opportunity to pose in a photo booth. This celebration was just the beginning of great things to come, David said.
"We're moving quickly to add services that are conducive to helping our clients further, from being the first facility in the area to offer Ultrasound Body fat testing, providing monthly seminars, launching a variety of group based classes to a Kids Club, where kids are treated like our own. ...and lots more to come," David said.

Don't Cut Costs to Save Money in Your Business
Businesses never make money by saving money. Instead of trying to save money in your business, you must invest your money in such a way that it earns a return for your business.
Instead of cutting costs, watch this short video and inspire yourself to start thinking about where you should be investing your resources.
Action Steps:
- Calculate your Cost Per New Customer, or CPNC. Your CPNC is your customer's projected value divided by 3. This calculation satisfies the "Rule of 3" from the video.
- Find ways to invest in increasing your customers' loyalty to your business. Is there a way to make your customers thrilled, happy or excited about doing business with you? Brainstorm some ideas, pick one and execute it.
- Share some of your suggestions on how to make wise business investments on this page.
- The Rule of 3 says that every dollar spent should add at the very least $3 to your bottom line.
- By using the Cost Per New Customer (CPNC), you'll increase the odds that your make money in your business when advertising.
- Investments in customer loyalty tend to yield the highest returns for small businesses.
6 Responses to "Don't Cut Costs to Save Money in Your Business"
Thank you Dave! Sound advice for Life too! Deric G
You're welcome, Deric.
Great info as always. The topic of 'cutting costs' does need some clarification though. Most small businesses have areas where they are bleeding and finding and fixing those 'leaks in the ship' to a certain extent needs to be done. After taking over the running of STS Turbo I found that the previous president thought that the only thing left to cut was to turn off the phones (he actually said that in a board meeting), when once he was replaced, thousands of dollars a month were easily saved and those cuts helped make the company much healthier. Just like our government, once the cuts are made, you find that you get creative and learn to operate leaner. But there comes a point where you have to quit cutting and work on growing and investing. Your 3:1 formula is great and I think that much of the cuts of wasted money solve themselves if that formula is strictly adhered to. Accountability and quantification on that formula will make a huge difference (easier said than done though). As with most things, keeping a good balance in cuts and investments as well as all areas of the company must be maintained to ensure success. Keep up the good work. I sold STS Turbo last year and still really enjoy your videos. Oh, and congrats on the new addition!
Well put, Rick. You make some great points. Certainly there are areas where any company can operate leaner. My experience has been that it's mostly feast or famine with business owners. Either they just spend like crazy, with no thought of ROI, or they slash costs everywhere, with little though as to if they'll end up losing ROI.
This video is just encouraging entrepreneurs to consider ALL expenses as potential investments. The question is: are you making a wise investment, or a bad one?
And thanks for the congrats. We're all loving Darci here!
This is great information. Made me think about a few things for sure.
Glad it helped, Angy.

And speaking of tickets
Posted by David Kennedy
You better rush right out and spend that $45, because you wouldn't want to save that money and buy tickets on say, StubHub, for $15 when you know they're actually going to play now would you?
Man $45 to see a preseason game? That's crazy.

Cheerios: Quality Time While Nourishing the Body and Mind of my Children
Quality time with my children is very important but also just as important is making…
Technology and family can certainly collide. It's hard for parents to compete with technological advances while raising children. I personally don't want a cell phone in the hands of my children, but as my children get older I realize it is going to be inevitable that they will end up with one of those nifty little cell phones or maybe a TracFone to start. Either way, as parents we can't ignore the benefits of technological advances for both adults and children.
Let's talk about my BlackBerry Tour for a moment, which I am going to call BB, why? Well because I certainly want to name my nifty new little friend but every tip I get is Brandy Berry and since I am not quite ready to commit to Brandy Berry I do like to refer to the BlackBerry as "BB". I am able to connect no matter what I am doing. I can be at the park running around like a crazy Mama but still be "connected". As an entrepreneur it's important for me to stay connected no matter where I am at, because without my dear sweet BB I may miss out on that next client, or next opportunity to grow my websites.
My children love my new found friend, mostly my oldest, who at age six really wants her own cell phone to call me when she's at Daddy's and her Dad is on the phone. I a not comfortable with my six year old having a cell phone, I do know there will be a day and time when I feel it's appropriate but at this time in her life – it is NOT something she needs.
My sweet BB has allowed me to tweet while I am at the playground watching my little men and little girl run like crazy away from me while I am attempting to get them into the vehicle to go home. BB has allowed me to vent no matter where I am or what I am doing. As a Mom without many local friends, the virtual world is where I go to meet and interact with like minds. I enjoy being able to connect with my virtual world any time and any where.
BB has not changed my family life other than the fact that when my husband is driving us on a long drive (I hate riding) I get to tweet, connect on Facebook, or talk on the phone with my business friends to work on deals or the next step in our plans. BB has certainly been a productive addition to our family.
I thought about getting a blackberry and this article has me convinced that I really need one for the same reasons you have yours.
.-= Cascia @ Healthy Moms´s last blog ..Weekend Unwind | To Sleep or To Blog? =-.
I love my Tour too, although getting to emails on here and on the phone is daunting! I have like 1300 on there because I haven't had time to delete them on there all week! I love the functionality of this phone! and the pics are AWESOME! I uploaded some to Facebook today from there! so easy!

Old Town, Florida
The center of the City of Old Town today is about 4 miles west of the Suwannee River on Highway 19 but the area currently known as Old Town could have been anywhere within the area in old times. When you drive through the area today you won't actually see much population but it is there, just that the area is very wooded, being part of the "Old Town Hammock", a very heavily wooded area, mostly large oak trees. The Old Town area in Dixie County is very likely one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Indian settlement in Florida.
Florida bounced back and forth several times between the French, Spanish and British hands till it ended up in British hands in 1780. In 1783 Florida was ceded to Spain and by 1795 was again in British hands. It was claimed by the U.S. in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. In April of 1818, General Andrew Jackson led the largest army ever to invade Florida, to the Old Town area to push the Indians south of the Suwannee River. He met the Seminoles at Fort Fannin. just across the Suwannee river, in what is known as the "Battle of Old Town." Bowlegs and his warriors bitterly resisted Jackson but to no avail. The defeat of the Seminoles at this battle somewhat broke their fighting spirit and power. Jackson then pursued Billy Bowlegs through the swamps and eventually met him in battle again in the cabbage swamps of Dixie County, at Bowlegs Point, now Jena. Bowlegs and his depleted forces were captured at the southern end of Big Rocky creek. This campaign ended the Indian wars in this part of Florida. The area round Big Rocky creek associated with the story that pirate gold was buried there.
Among the boats traveling up and down the Suwannee River that played a part in the commerce of Dixie County in the late 1800s and early 1900s were the "City of Hawkinsville," the "City of Jacksonville," and the "Belle of the Suwannee." The remains of the "City of Hawkinsville", sunk in 1922, is submerged below the Old Suwannee River Railroad Bridge at Old Town.
As you can see, this part of Florida was very important in the early history of the United States.

New Super Smash Bros.
Since 1999, Super Smash Bros. has had an incredible impact on the Nintendo gaming community and the franchise has been a hit with each release for its unique crossovers of the company's games. Later this year, Nintendo will be releasing the much anticipated Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and for the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo has been teasing the Super Smash Bros. fans with beautiful promotional trailers and announcement videos. In the Nintendo Direct live video announcement, director Mashiro Sakurai discussed and recapped the numerous announcements for the changes in the upcoming Smash games. Summer of 2014, Super Smash Bros. will be available for the 3DS console and the Wii U version will be released in the winter.
Custom Move Sets
One of the most prominent newer additions to Smash is the ability to make custom move sets. This feature will enable players for both consoles to have special move variations to the respective characters. During the Nintendo Direct held April 8, director Mashiro Sakurai explained how the custom move sets will be only available for playing locally or with friends online. Only this much information has been released as of yet and more will be announced.
Fighters Roster
The Super Smash Bros. character roster has had significant changes to not only the character selection but also to the individual characters. There are 29 announced characters and six entirely new brawlers. Characters Rosalina & Luma from Super Mario Galaxy, Greninja from Pokemon X & Y, Villager from Animal Crossing, Little Mac from Punch-Out!, Wii Fit Trainer from Wii Fit, and Mega Man have joined the fight and replaced many of Super Smash Bros. Brawl fighters. Many of the fighters will have new additional moves. For example, Lucario from the Pokemon franchise will be able to evolve into its Mega Evolution. Additionally, certain stages will boss characters such as Ridley from Metroid series and the Yellow Devil from Mega Man 2.
Zelda and Samus Changes
Princess Zelda and Samus have had considerable changes done to them. Both of them have been separated into different playable characters. Zelda will no longer transform back and forth between Sheik, because Sheik has become a separate playable character altogether. Zelda's new down B attack is called "Phantom Slash" which summons the Phantom from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Whereas for Samus, after she uses her hyper beam final smash in game, it won't cause her to lose her power suit and become Zero Suit Samus. Because, like Zelda, Zero Suit Samus will be all new independent character. Zero Suit Samus will be given hyper boots to give her more mobility and power.
New 'Global Ranking Power System' and Modes
It has been confirmed that online multiplayer will be featured on both the Wii U and the 3DS through Nintendo Network IDs with two different options for the battles. The "For Fun" mode will have random stages, open access to items, smash battles only, and will only count by wins. Whereas, "For Glory" will be intended for those who are more competitive players and will have no items, one on one matches, and Final Destination versions of stages. There is going to be a new ranking system that will be implemented in the Super Smash Bros. for both consoles which will determine the strength and the skills of the players. "The Global Ranking Power" system will rank the participants in terms of the number of players internationally that they are "better than" and match them up with other competitors of their skill level.
3DS Exclusives
Exclusively for the 3DS, "Smash Run" mode will have fast pace five minute rounds where up to 4 players will scour expansive dungeon-like stages side by side in search for power-ups. The players will have to face enemies that alternate each game/round that they will need to defeat in order to get power-ups. With the power ups they collected in the five minutes, the players will assemble and battle it out. Throughout the game, there will be events included and Mashiro Sakurai said that the rules for this game will be similar to those in the "City Trial" of an older Kirby game title, Kirby's Air Ride.
Other Features
In Super Smash Bros., there is going to be a multitude of additions made to the items, assist trophies, Pokemon, and stages lists. The stages on the Wii U are different from those on the Nintendo 3DS. In addition to the stages, games will be playable in Final Destination map types. Returning items from the Nintendo Direct's video, hosted by director Mashiro Sakurai, included the Beam Sword, Smart Bomb, and Pub Block. New items for Smash will include the Beetle from The Legend of Zelda, Ore Club, Bombachu, X Bomb, Fairy Bottle, Rocket Belt, and more. The Nintendo Direct included trophies such as Midna, Nintendogs, Dark Samus, Dr. Wright, Chain Chomp, Waluigi, and Color TV-Game 15. The release date is so close, yet so far away for those who are eagerly waiting for this game. Super Smash Bros. will no doubt be a hit amongst the gaming community and hardcore Nintendo fans alike.

GREENFIELD — The Mt. Vernon tax referendum went down to defeat today in the final tally of votes from two precincts left over from election night. But the result was mixed in the seven-way race for the Mt. Vernon School Board. The slate of candidates that had generally supported it won.
Tony May, Michael McCarty and Jason Shelton were the top vote-getters for the three at-large school board seats. Falling out of the top three was Carolyn Flynn, who was the leading vote-getter when election officials suspended tabulations on Tuesday night.
The Hancock County Election Board met Thursday morning to finish counting ballots in three precincts: two in McCordsville and one in Jackson Township. Hanging in the balance since election night were outcomes in two Eastern Hancock races, as well as the Mt. Vernon race. While the results changed in the MV contest, no other changes occurred in the final tally of all 43 precincts.
The referendum, which would have raised property taxes to help the financially ailing Mt. Vernon district, was defeated, 5,010 votes to 3,764. The results in the school board race were: McCarty, 3,169 votes; Shelton, 3,168; May, 3,151; Flynn, 3,101; James Metcalfe, 2,313; Bob Hiday, 2,212; and Ralph Spears, 1,752.
Jim Jackson and Scott Johnson, who led their races for the Eastern Hancock School Board when vote counting was suspended late Tuesday night, stayed out front in the final tally.
Jackson defeated Neil Floyd, 1,327 votes to 871. Johnson topped Michael Schrope, 1,109 votes to 1,095.

Metro Boston, north shore and metro west: January has seen its share of much colder than normal weather locally. The month began in the deep freeze as temperatures did not get above freezing through the first four days and we had three consecutive nightly lows of near zero, 2nd through 4th, with a total of 5 nights of low temperatures under 10 degrees. Eight of the eleven days have seen high temperatures below the monthly norm. Yet, we have climbed into the 50s two days so far which helped to offset the below normal temperatures through the first twelve days. As of today temperatures are running slightly over 5 degrees colder than normal for January.
Taking a look ahead for the upcoming week the main features will be milder than normal temperatures through the work week before it becomes colder next weekend. And, a couple of rounds of precipitation, notably on Tuesday and later Wednesday into Wednesday night. With the mild air in place most of this precipitation is expected to fall as rain with some snow through interior sections Wednesday night.
High pressure offshore has turned the winds back to the milder southwest direction. We are in for a pleasant mid January day on Monday with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine. High clouds are on the increase later in the day and this signals the approach of our next weather maker.
A cold front will move through Tuesday with a chance of a weak wave of low pressure forming along the front. We may have only showers for a portion of the day and evening or with the wave development several hours of steadier rainfall would be more likely.
After a brief drying period late Tuesday night and early Wednesday another weak disturbance enters the picture and brings a period of unsettled weather later Wednesday and Wednesday night. With slightly cooler air in place from the cold front passage during Tuesday there is a better chance that somebody gets a bit of snow out of this second disturbance and that would most likely be communities across the interior. One caution is the possibility of a coastal low that would enhance the precipitation and possibly bring a more organized area of rain and snow to the area. Many uncertainties remain and the mid week period will have to be monitored closely to see which way it sets up.
Back to drier conditions later Thursday and Friday with cooler temperatures but still slightly above normal.
72 Hour Forecast:
Monday: Mostly sunny and mild, increasing clouds by later in the day. High temperature in the upper 40s to 50 degrees. Southwest winds 8 to 15 mph with some higher gusts in the afternoon.
Monday night: Becoming mostly cloudy. Chance of showers late. Mild, lows in the mid 30s to 40 degrees. Southwest winds 10 to 20 mph.
Tuesday: Showers developing. Continued mild. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. Southwest winds around 10 mph.
Tuesday night: Chance of showers early, remaining mostly cloudy. Lows in the low to mid 30s.
Wednesday: Early sunshine possible, otherwise becoming mostly cloudy with a chance of showers redeveloping. Cooler, highs in the low 40s.
Wednesday night: Rain and snow showers, possibly a period of light snow inland. Cooler, lows in the upper 20s inland to low 30s along the shore.

Amelia Richmond and Melissa Brouse, the PR team at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, in a press release dated February 7, said the resorts are looking for 4 feet of fresh snow by Monday.
With the storm door finally open for now, the storms are blowing in one after the other. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast indicates that it's very possible for those hopes to be realized. Their forecast has issued a winter storm warning that expires at 4 p.m. on Monday, February 8, with snow continuing through Monday. There's a chance for more later in the week.
This is music to the ears of everyone who enjoys sliding about on the snow. It is especially good news for the black diamond crowd, as the steeps should get enough to make them skiable again.
Richmond and Brouse said this in the press release:
"As of Friday morning, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows had both received four inches of new snow, with heavy snowfall continuing throughout the day. This weekend, skiers and riders at Squaw and Alpine can expect an additional 23 inches of new snow by Saturday morning, with snowfall continuing Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Both resorts could have a total of 46 inches of new snow on the slopes by Monday afternoon."
Taking advantage of the Tahoe Super 4 Pack would give skiers and riders 4 unrestricted days of skiing and riding anytime this season for "...less than $88 a day for adults, $75 for young adults and seniors and $50 for kids with absolutely no blackout dates. Tahoe Super 4 Packs are available on squaw.com and skialpine.com, or by calling 800-403-0206."
New snow, great price for 4 days of skiing makes the new snow that much more wonderful. The season, off to a late start, has at last started. If the storm door stays open, especially if the storms come down from the north, the snow sports crowd will make up for the late start, the forest will be healthy, and we'll all smile more.


text: Apr 24, 2013 09:48 FLAVOR FOR SALE FLAVOR FOR SALE Advocate staff photo by JOHN McCUSKER -- Healthful herbs add color to a garden and flavor to meals. Many will be for sale Saturday when the Herb Society of America, New Orleans Unit, offers them from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 2202 General Pershing St. in New Orleans. Advocate staff photo by JOHN McCUSKER -- Anne Barnes of New Orleans sits among her herbs in her garden, where the Herb Society of America, New Orleans Unit, will hold its annual Fall Plant Sale Saturday. by Patricia Kennedy Livingston| Special to The Advocate Comments More than seven years after Anne Barnes' garden was inundated by 3.5 feet of brackish water that stayed two weeks, killing almost all the plants, it is now a showplace for anyone who loves flowers, butterflies and herbs. Barnes decided not to garden until the house "was in reasonable repair, (allowing) time to reconsider the garden.'' She knew she didn't want what she called the former "general disorder'' that had resulted haphazardly as her children grew and she was able to claim former play space a little at a time. The new garden boasts old roses, salvia, a wide variety of herbs, a small citrus orchard and a native wildlife garden. It will be the venue for Saturday's Spring Plant Sale by the Herb Society of America, New Orleans Unit. The address is 2202 Gen. Pershing St., but visitors should enter the garden from the side gate on Loyola Avenue, just off Napoleon Avenue. Sale hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Besides herbs, butterfly plants and other annuals and perennials will be for sale, including many varieties not readily available locally. The organization will also sell its publication, "Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking With Herbs.'' Society members will be on hand to consult on choices and care. The Herb Society of America was founded in 1933 by six women in Boston to grow and study herbs, and learn about their uses over history for cooking, medicine, fragrance, dyes and ornamental gardens. The New Orleans Unit has 42 members, "mostly women, but we do have men too,'' according to Anne Abbott, its founder who also was president of the national organization 2006-2008. "We meet once a month, either at the New Orleans Botanic Garden, or at Longue Vue. Sometimes we have field trips.'' The local unit's assigned duty is the study of salvia, the largest genus in the mint family. Its various species are used in cooking, as ornamentals, in herbal medicine and for their fragrant foliage. The top 10 herbs as voted by the national society are sweet basil, thyme, bay, sage, Greek oregano, chives, dill, parsley, rosemary and lavender. All will be for sale on Saturday. And if you think lavender is used only to scent sachets and hand lotion, you may be surprised to learn that it's one of the essential "herbs de Provence'' used in a number of sweet dishes. As do most herb enthusiasts, Barnes loves to cook, adding snippets of her harvest to many dishes. Currently she has "a bay tree, three kinds of rosemary, several kinds of basil, four oreganos, two kinds of marjoram, winter savory, three thymes, several species from Central America, several from Asia, leaf celery, as well as rue and fennel for butterflies. And if fresh herbs are not available, I do used dried ones.'' Proceeds from the sale will benefit Longue Vue, the Botanical Garden in City Park and the Herb Society of America. Unsold plants find a good home, said Audrey Driscoll, current chairwoman of the New Orleans Unit. "After any plant sale, remaining plants have been donated to various recipients, including the animal garden at the Audubon Zoo, the Johnson Elementary School and Vintage Gardens," Driscoll said.

The actress faces 245 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her parole by lying to police.
21:11, UK, Tuesday 15 January 2013
The lawyer for troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has entered a not guilty plea for the star on three misdemeanour charges filed after a car accident in California in June.
Shawn Holley entered the plea on Lohan's behalf during a brief hearing in Los Angeles. Lohan did not attend the arraignment, but must appear in court on January 30.
The actress is accused of lying to police, reckless driving and obstructing police from performing their duties.
Lohan allegedly told officers she was not driving the car at the time of the Pacific Coast Highway crash, but police say she was the one behind the wheel.
Lohan was on probation for a 2011 necklace theft case when the crash happened, and she could be sent to jail for up to 245 days if a judge determines she violated her probation by lying.
The actress was released from supervised probation in March after several months of court appearances. She also had to work as a cleaner at a morgue.
Once considered one of Hollywood's next bankable actresses, Lohan's professional life has foundered in recent years.
Her portrayal last year of silver screen icon Elizabeth Taylor in the TV movie Liz & Dick was roundly panned by critics as "woeful", and the poor reception failed to propel her back onto the A-list.

Jon Esser, Associate Dean of the Purchase College School of the Arts, has received a $16,000 grant from the Dana Foundation's ArtsBridge America program, via Lawrence University. The grant will fund four School of the Arts students to be ArtsBridge Scholars, teaching the arts to children in underserved schools through residencies.
The Purchase ArtsBridge scholars will each be selected from one of the four visual and performing arts disciplines on campus, via a competitive process. The scholars will then assigned faculty mentors from their disciplines and will undergo training from a teaching artist in the following areas: K-12 learning environment, how to create ties between the arts and other curricular areas, how to create lesson plans and how to adapt teaching styles to be age and demographic specific.
Students will submit lesson plans for review and approval and will then be placed in local underserved school systems with the support of a classroom teacher as well as their Purchase faculty mentor. A residency at the local school will culminate in final performances both at the local schools and on campus.
The program will introduce K-12 students to the arts at the college and introduce Purchase art students to the world of teaching arts.
ArtsBridge is a network of 22 universities in 13 states and Northern Ireland, and their surrounding schools, that confronts the problem of the elimination of the arts from K-12 schools. Purchase's award is part of a larger $60,000 grant to Lawrence University from the Dana Foundation's ArtsBridge America program.

text: There is a rumor on the streets that one of the hottest racers in his day of Super Pro racing might be returning to the Gold Cup ranks. Do you know who we are talking about? The scoop we hear from a very reliable source is that the famed Steve Carlson "aka Stephen R. Lavine" might be hitting the Firebird quarter mile soon. Check out this photo from the 1990 Ignitor Division 6 points meet of the Chevelle Steve piloted at Firebird. For those of you in the bracket racing inner cirlce who learn more details about this rumor please keep us posted. We think it would be cool to see ole Carlson return to the bracket wars.

She just bought a bungalow at Tai Po Hong Lok Yuen worth approx. HK$28million. Her parents will be moving in with her too perhaps, to watch over the child for her while she'll also get extra helping hand when she returns to showbiz.
Since the pregnancy rumours, paparazzi have been approaching the couple for photos. They kept aiming their cameras at Miriam's tummy to "confirm" rumours. As usual, Real would shy away from the cameras while, Miriam tries to remain calm and polite. According to witnesses, she looks bloated and kept covering her stomach with a long scarf and paper bag.
The couple is yet to make an official statement regarding this rumour.
next year ... according to the chinese ... is the year of the dragon! pretty cool sounding right? its also said to be a good animal year ... and very lucky!
well its pretty common for chinese people and celebrities alike to try for a child which is born in that year
im year of the tiger btw
so, this is most likely not a rumor
Umm congrats? o__o
Everyone is getting knocked up
It seems that way lately hehe
Lol. I was just thinking that.

They haven't actually confirmed this, if I'm reading it correctly, but it's good if it's true.
I like this kind of rumour. It's nice and sweet.
