Hefty Kirstie Alley Crushes Thigh of Dance Partner, Causes Fall on Dancing with the Stars
A shameful tumble occurred on Dancing with the Stars last night, after heavy weight actress Kirstie Alley gave her dancing partner a TKO via heftiness.
As the two performed to tango, actually rumba, to a rendition of Somewhere Over the Rambo, trained dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy found his taut muscles unable to bear the great Kansan cornhusker
Somehow, the pair still earned a score of 21, higher than even their last performance.

Rabid fox attacks two people in Thomasville city limits
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
A fox that attacked two people in Thomasville had rabies, according to the Davidson County Health Department.
The fox was found Thursday inside the city limits. It attacked two people before being killed by an animal control officer. Both people have been referred to their medical provider for follow-up.
This marks the fifth case of rabies for the year in Davidson County.
Do not handle an animal with bare hands after it has had contact with a wild animal. Saliva from the wild animal may still be present on the domestic animal's fur and by handling the animal, a person may become exposed to the rabies virus.
If there are stray dogs, cats or wildlife in a neighborhood, call Animal Control at 249-0131. Call the Rabies Hotline at 242-2348 if you or your pet comes in contact with another animal.

College Hockey:United States routs Denmark in World Juniors opener
The United States dominated in an 11-3 win over Denmark in both team's World Junior Championship opener Monday night at Edmonton's Rexall Place.
Former Boston University forward Charlie Coyle led the way with a hat trick for Team USA, while Kyle Rau (Minnesota) tallied a pair.
"We didn't want to take them lightly," said Coyle to IIHF.com. "We knew it wasn't going to be that easy right off the bat. We kind of had a slow start. We knew we had to pick it up after the first period and we did. We needed to work on things. We can't get sloppy. We need to continue to play solid in all three zones."
Team captain Jason Zucker (Denver) had a goal and two assists, Austin Czarnik (Miami) added two helpers, as did Emerson Etem, Derek Forbort (North Dakota) and Adam Clendening (BU).
Nick Bjugstad (Minnesota), J.T. Miller, Bill Arnold (Boston College), Stephen Johns (Notre Dame) and Jarred Tinordi also scored for Team USA.
Jack Campbell finished with 21 saves in goal.
All three of Denmark's goals came on the power play.
"We still have plenty of work to do," said U.S. coach Dean Blais in a news release. "But getting that first win under our belts was important and there was a lot of good to build on."
The United States next plays Finland in Edmonton on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. MST.

In May of this year, three Utah friends and longtime climbing partners—Andy Jacobsen, Dom Burchett and Andy Rosenberg—set out to give Park City a new outlet for a sport that hasn't seen much play in Summit County. After months of renovating and building out an empty storefront in Kimball Junction, the trio officially opened the doors to The Mine, Park City's only bouldering gym, on Nov. 30.
At The Mine, you'll discover 4,000 square feet of climbing walls. With 120 colorful routes bolted to the walls, climbers of all skill levels can dangle from overhangs, traverse across technical holds or scale up any number of problems (the customary word for a bouldering route). "We made a conscious effort to make [the gym] user-friendly," says co-founder Jacobsen. "You can find something at your limits. That's the beauty of climbing."
His rationale is just what I needed to hear. Though I own a pair of climbing shoes (The Mine also rents them), they've racked up only a handful of actual bouldering experiences. To overcome my trepidation, I signed up for the Movement 101 clinic, a free, twice-a-month class geared towards helping beginner and novice climbers find their way to the top. With a few tips from climbing instructor and Park City local Drew Bedford, I'm now scaling the easiest routes and thankful for the wall-to-wall floor pads that cushion the inevitable fall. "Safety is our focus," Jacobsen reminds me. "We want people to climb and get stronger—not get hurt."
Like all indoor climbing gyms, The Mine is built to simulate the challenging rock formations you'd find in the great outdoors. Materials have been shaped into features like caves, arches, boulders, cracks and walls; even the urethane handholds are molded into different textures for the same reason. "Some holds mimic real rock, others are more for comfort," explains Jacobsen. Regardless of your preference, it's an ideal spot for learning and honing techniques before heading into the Wasatch or Uintas.
Strength is key in climbing, which is why The Mine includes a small set of cardio machines and free weights for cross-training. Experienced climbers can warm up on the gym's Treadwall and campus board, both of which help develop endurance and performance. A daily yoga class is also offered in a private room to help with balance and round out the traditional gym vibe.
Nevertheless, climbing (and socializing) is the focus. "It's about having different grades with different problems," says Jacobsen. "You're here to get better so you can go outside and have fun." But until the spring thaw melts away the winter snowpack, you'll just have to duck inside The Mine get your fill of fun.
Monday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Tuesday, 7 a.m.–10 p.m.
Wednesday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Thursday, 7 a.m.–10 p.m.
Friday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
Adult rates are $16 for a day pass or $65 for a monthly pass. The Mine is located in Kimball Junction, 1680 Ute Blvd, Park City. For more information, call 435-655-6463 or visit minebouldering.com.

A fox is a carnivorous mammal, related to the dog family. They have red, brown, black, silver or grey coats. They are found in most parts of the world, especially in the northern hemisphere. They are nocturnal mammals, which mean, they stay awake at night for hunting. A fox is generally smaller in size compared with other members of the dog family like wolves, jackals and domestic dogs. Fox animal information will help us know a few facts about the life of a fox.
Description and appearance: They are small, slender mammals with pointy nose. They have large erect ears with a bushy tail. The claws are strong and non-retractable. It has beautiful shiny fur. Legs have black paws. Their body length is about 100 to 112 cm, including the tail. They have very good sense of smell and hearing. There are around 12 different species of foxes found across the world. This includes the urban fox or the red fox, the white arctic fox, the light colored sand fox and the tiny fennec fox.
Habitat: They live in burrows dug by other animals. They might also dig a tunnel of their own in loose soil. Their shelters can have more than one entrance. The dens are lined with leaves and grass. A family might have more than one den.
Diet: Foxes largely feed on invertebrates. However they also eat rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals such as amphibians, snakes fish, birds, eggs, beetles and insects. They consume about 1 kg of food every day. Generally they bury excess food under leaves, snow or soil, to consume it later.
Reproduction: A female fox, also known as vixen, can give birth to a maximum of 10 pups. Generally, four to five pups are born. They are born during spring. The male fox brings food to the vixen, so that she can stay with the pups. The pups start eating meat in a months' time. The family stays together until fall. The young ones become independent by winter. Most of them die before they are a year old.
Enemies and protection: Foxes are trapped for their beautiful fur. They are also hunted by wolves, lynxes, bobcats, cougars and coyotes. To avoid hunters that follow the foxes' scent, they usually run along water or logs. They have a very sharp bark, to warn fellow foxes. Foxes, which live near humans, are mostly hit by cars. The average life span of a fox is five years in the wild. Some might live over ten years. In Europe, foxes are a victim of 'fox hunting', which is a sport that involves humans, horses and dogs to hunt the foxes. Although fox-hunting in this manner is now illegal, it is still allowed if dogs are not included in the sport.
Some facts about foxes:
Although foxes are wild animals, the Russian silver fox is domesticated. Research states that they show dog like behavior: become friendly with humans, put their ears down and wag their tails when they are happy!

It's been years in coming, but finally former attorney generals Mark Shurtleff and John Swallow (aka ShurtLo) have been busted for felonies related to alleged shenanigans involving cash, payday loan sleezeballs, subverting state regulators, election-law violations and living like oil shieks at said sleazeballs' resorts. (Not to mention Swallow's epic performance in accidentally losing/destroying computer emails.)
The prosecution of Utah's one-time "Top Cops," of course, will take years to run its course. But one thing is obvious to anyone who has any knowledge of in ways of government—any rot in the highly politicized Attorney General's Office doesn't end with Shurtleff/Swallow duo.
And contrary to Gov. Gary Herbert's "sad day" description of the arrests—it is a happy day for Utah. The system may actually work—a little.
Now, the Legislature and/or the governor should pull together for ethics reform and an independent probe into the entire AG's office.
As state Sen. Jim Dabakis puts it:
"The problem remains. 'Pay for Play' is still the name of the game, it is the heart of the problem. And nothing has changed.
"Utah still has no limits on contributions to campaigns! This needs to end. If the arrest of two Attorneys General does not motivate such a change--it is hard to understand what will."
Added blog bonus! The worst screw-up of the day:
Oh no, we don't need the Trib—the church's media can handle all our news needs.
And, BTW, because they don't hear this often enough—City Weekly's Eric Peterson has done an awesome job for years in covering ShurtLo.

Women's Track and Field Receives School-Record At Cannon IV Classic On Saturday
Feb. 17, 2003
Indianapolis, Ind. - The University of Illinois at Chicago women's track and field team received a school-record performance from its 4x400 relay team at the Cannon IV Classic, hosted by Butler University on Saturday afternoon.
The quartet of Gloria Jackson, Monieka Thompson, Crystal Sanders and Korinne Krych palced 10th overall with a mark of 4:06.33 to break the previous record of 4:07.73 set by Thompson, Jill Marquette, Latrice Ivy and Kim Brown in 2001.
Thompson also placed fourth overall in the 800-meter run, crossing the finish line in 2:12.84.
"All in all it was a very productive weekend," UIC head coach Jim Knoedel said. "It was exciting to see the improvement in times and we have a lot to look forward to in the weeks to come."
UIC will be back in action on Friday evening, as they will travel north to participate in the UW-Milwaukee Quadrangular at 4:00 p.m.

Catalogue entry
153. [N05497] The Finding of Moses c. 1805?
Canvas, 59 1/4 × 44 (150·5 × 111·5)
Coll. Turner Bequest 1856 (?259, '1 (Figure subject)' 4'11 1/2" × 3'8 1/2"); transferred to the Tate Gallery 1947.
Lit. Davies 1946, p. 160; Ziff 1980, p. 169.
The identification of the subject is due to Mary Chamot; Martin Davies' title was 'Three Women and a Baby (unfinished)'. The picture, as yet unrestored, is difficult to date. Although more roughly painted than The Procuress (No. 152 [N05500]) it seems, like that picture, to represent Turner's reaction to the Venetian pictures he saw in the Louvre in 1802, in particular the works of Titian and Veronese. Turner's renewed interest in figure subjects on this scale as a result of his second visit to Italy in 1828–9 seems to have resulted in works of a rather richer texture, whether thinly painted like the Reclining Venus (No. 296 [N05498]) or more heavily worked up like Two Women and a Letter (No. 448 [N05501]).

Cotto looked like his face got run over by a tractor. Readers, should he hang up the gloves, after two straight losses? (Tom Casino)
Miguel Cotto picked the wrong opponent to fight in the main event at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. That was apparent pretty early on, as he was a step behind, in foot speed and hand speed, and had difficulty cornering the slick mover Trout. By midway, Cotto's face started to swell up, and Trout, a legit 154 pounder, didn't wilt from the left hooks and too-few body shots from the Puerto Rican. After twelve rounds, we heard the verdict, and that confirmed what our eyes saw.
Judge Byrd had 119-109, and Poturaj and Weisfeld saw it 117-111, for Trout, who pre-fight told the world he needed a KO to insure the win, but actually just needed to box the way he did pre-Cotto fight to get the job done.
Cotto, as he hurriedly left the ring, indicated that he thought he won. Later, he said, "I was satisfied with the job I did. I will go back to Puerto Rico and think. He was a southpaw, difficult to fight. I felt I did my job, it was a great fight, we fought until the end. I'm thankful to all of my fans who came to see me tonight, there's no place to fight like Madison Square Garden."
There will be massive second guessing on the part of Team Cotto for choosing Trout, though I think it fair not to hammer them. They picked a tough foe, a guy who it is hard to look good against, who deserved a shot. They didn't duck or dodge Austin Trout, and should be commended for that.
The 37-3 hitter out of Caguas, PR was 153.6 on Friday, and the 25-0 New Mexico fighter Trout (age 27) was 154 after dropping trou.
In the first, Cotto, age 32, ate a hard shot which maybe gave Trout the round. Trout moved, his feet and his torso, and was hard to hit in the second. Cotto ended the round with a bang but Trout's quick hands, jab, movement and mastery of the distance troubled him. Cotto tried to close the distance, walk Trout down but the underdog was slippery. The PR fighter did land some left hooks in a tight round. In round five, Trout went low, and was warned. He backed up a ton and I wondered what the judges would think of that. Cotto landed the three best launches of the round, and by now had Trout coming to him. The sixth was tight, once again, but it looked like maybe the two hardest punches of the round were landed by Cotto in the sixith and in the seventh. Trout took the eighth, with smart movement and crisp launches. In the ninth, Cotto turned away, saying he was hit low. Trout worked harder in the round; could Cotto get a second wind? In the 10th, Trout impressed more but then Cotto comboed late. Did he steal the round, or make it even? In round 11, Trout looked fresher. Both men missed a bunch, but Trout trapped Miguel on the ropes and threw. Miguel landed at least two crisp counters. In the 12th, Cotto backed up too much. His face swollen, backpedaling, he sent the wrong message.
Jayson Velez gave Puerto Ricans hope that a PR prospect will pan out as he blasted out overmatched Mexican Salvador Sanchez in 38 seconds elapsed of round three, by TKO, as the ref stopped the scrap. Sal, wearing his Uncle Salvador's trunks from his last fight before he died in a car accident in 1982, was never in it. He went down in the second and was not sturdy in the third. Velez, a Cotto Promotions boxer, won a feather crown.
Danny Jacobs got rounds in and made fellow middleweight Chris Fitzpatrick quit after five. Fitz was durable, and earned his check. Brooklyn's Jacobs, back after cancer nearly felled him last year, took his time, went lefty then righty, and cracked with the right hand. A cut opened on Fitzy's crown in the third but he moved enough and had a hard enough noggin to make it a couple more rounds. Jacobs said after he heard the boos and apologized for being patient. He will be back in the ring on the Feb. 9 show.

Wow! A new fish is swimming. Holla!
I think I might be the only poster that picked Trout to win. There were some posters that were on the fence and said that he had a chance, but nobody else clearly stated that they predicted Trout to win by decision. As I previously stated in my earlier prediction, Trout was the better athlete and technician. His reach, size advantage, and "ice water vein" calmness/confidence carried the day. The Canelo management team should wisely stay clear of Trout. Please serve a big plate of CROW to Radam G and all the other posters that said Trout was going to get served like a plate of baked fish. Holla!
Brave Call DaveB...... spot on with your prediction. My vote for Cotto as more of a sympathy vote but I eat may crow with pride...hope Cotto can walk away..he looked like he got old out there tonight.
Not to take away from the excellent effort by the fresher and highly skilled Trout.
You see Canelo left the building before the post fight interview. He doesn't want none.
And I don't believe it's because of Trout's relative lack of name recognition. Alvarez showed no shame when it came to fighting Josisito Lopez.
Kind of sad and Creepy watching Salvadore Sanchez's (RIP) nephew sporting tight 1970's style trunks and the famous Sanchez Fro...but none of his uncles skills ... the kid had no business being thrown in a title eliminator. I think Radam mentioned a few posts ago that the kid couldn't fight...what an accurate comment that was.
Just a half of plate of crow. I did think that MC could win from the jump. But I guess that he is in a slump. He had no pump. And fought to low and in a hump. With that way of gettin' down, you can beat nobody's rump. And end up looking like the chump. Holla!
Cotto in done!! I was impressed with Trout but Canelo will fu$k Trout up.
SRD u hot fam I'm putting money on your next pick no BS
Thanks B-Sug. I'm never going to say anything bad about Cotto. He is one of the truly classy guys in boxing. I think he still can fight Canelo and it would be a fight the people would want to see. Cotto is like Holyfield, the guy is never in a bad fight. Alvarez/Cotto could be like when Margarito lost to Williams and the public still wanted to see Cotto vs. Margarito. I think Cotto lost tonight but he put out a good effort and only he can answer how much punishment he wants to take. There never seems to be an easy fight for him.
Canelo don't want to fight any one that technical....I bet they force Trout to fight Lara next.
Cotto got old in the 9th. I hate seeing his entire family cringe/hold back tears as he is getting pummeled. Their eyes seemed to be pleading, "dad, please retire."
As for Trout, he's really good! Never seen him before and would like to see him fight Canelo... another good matchup that will not happen any time soon.

Always great to see a man walk out of the shadows of boxing and win the sweet science lottery. Lovely!
Things just a bit more interesting. Canelo vs Trout or does this clear the way for Canelo vs MAyweather? I think Floyd will go the safer route and pick up the Guerrero chips before he comes efffin' with Alvarez. Canelo boogied 'da **** out of that joint like la migra busted in. Lmao.
Trout was the bigger and faster fighter tonight. This is why slick leftys are avoided. Cotto was never able to hurt Trout or get him in any trouble. Congrats to Austin Trout for a huge win.
Cotto will not retire. And the game is so seedy. And Big Money O and company is greedy. Cotto may still get the lottery bout with the red-headed hype. That is the true money fight. And the game is all about money. Ain't darn the funny. Holla!
I was at the fight, it's crazy how ones perception is so different live because of the angle you see the ring. A lot of people thought the fight was close, I had strong feeling before the fight Trout was going to win. Canelo dipped lol
Good fight. Trout stepped it up and showed he had more to offer than his previous fights. He is a fighter who fights just above the level of his competition. Cotto looked good, not bad not great but good. No need to retire. I don't get fighters who retire not because of age or wear and tear but because they want to spend more time with their family when they are with their family 24/7 for 5 months between fights before leaving for 4-8 weeks for camp and the repeat. I mean they get more family time tan those of us who work jobs and only see their families 2 hours a night before bed time.
Wow at Canelo for dipping out like some one put a hit on him.
I'm still cool with a cotto Canelo fight just because cotto is never in a bad fight.
Happy for trout tho too.
B-Sug Golden boy don't want him to fight somebody technical I think he's ready for any style
i picked trout also ..he could fight and adapt in real time, cotto cant plus having a guy who throws more jabs a rd than anyone in the game was the killer... they didnt check him out to well
[COLOR="#FF0000">i had thought Trout would give Cotto alot of trouble..but what i didn't expect was how big Trout was. Trout looked huge.
Maybe he looked so much bigger because Miguel is a stubby, smallest light middleweight with close-in-shoulders, and Miguel's actual height is about 5-foot-6 though he's often listed at 5'7 to 5'8. Trout is wide-broad shouldered with a narrow-arse lower body and maybe a c-hair over 5-foot-9, though he was listed at 5'9 and a half. Holla!
Based on past fights, just didn't think trout had the offensive game to do what he did. Not only was the size difference huge, but Cotto was SSSLLLOOOWWW, and kept throwing those high sweeping hooks that Trout went back and under from. really superior all around boxing job.
Nothing about this fight suggests that Canelo-Cotto shouldn't happen. I do think Cotto looked slower and a bit stiffer than in the past, but possibly because he was forced to lunge and fight outside his comfortable range against a guy both much quicker, with slick movement, and much longer. Canelo is a very different animal, there to be hit, matched dimensions. I'm just worried that Cotto is reaching that too-many-wars phase. Still, a logical fight, just a lower price tag.
Truthfully, you may be on to something. Its still watchable. A different animal for sure, he'll put more metal to the pedal than Trout and Cotto likely ain't finishing on his feet. I like the young buck by late ko.
Was I the only one who thought Jayson Velez came off a bit on the sweet side? Lmao.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

There isn't a tremendous amount of mainstream Americans or Canadians that enjoy a good black and white motion picture. Indeed, it would be safe to assume that most are abecedarian and neophytes when it comes to old films, like a John Huston picture, a Frank Capra epic or an intense Alfred Hitchcock movie.
Nevertheless, the appreciation for movies made prior to the 1960s has become evanescent. An oppugn can be made to promote the idea that some of these James Cagney, Barbara Stanwyck or Humphrey Bogart movies actually surpass neoteric films in terms of quality and the entertainment value.
Of course, many view black and white movies as hebetudinous, supercilious and even aphotic. With that being said, there are just too many black and white pictures made to prove the critics of modern times wrong. Whether it's a Charlie Chaplin comedy, an Edward G. Robinson gangster flick or a Bette Davis romance, those who have just been introduced to the world of black and white cinema have a lot to choose from.
Here is a list of 10 of the greatest American black and white movies ever made (does not include foreign films and in no particular order):
"Casablanca" (1942) – Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains
Rick Blaine (Bogart) runs a popular cafe in Casablanca, Morocco. He unexpectedly meets Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), his former love from Paris, who is now with underground Czech leader, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid). They rekindle their love, but Blaine is the hero of the resistance and helps Laszlo and Ilsa escape Casablanca in one of the most famous endings Hollywood has ever produced.
"Maltese Falcon" (1941) – Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet
Quick-witted, fast-talking and slick private detective, Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart), gets entangled in the mysterious Maltese Falcon hunt after his partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan), gets killed on an assignment.
This was actually a remake of a 1931 film.
"The Roaring Twenties" (1939) – Starring: James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Priscilla Lane and Gladys George
The 1920s are roaring, WWI has just come to end, prohibition is in effect and it seems everyone in the United States is getting rich, well, nearly everyone, anyway. Eddie Bartlett (Cagney) turns into the king of New York by running a bootlegging business. When he bumps into his old "friend" from the war, George Hally (Bogart), they become partners until a power struggle ruins the empire.
"12 Angry Men" (1957) – Starring: Henry Fonda, Jack Klugmann, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden and Lee J. Cobb
This film tells the story of 12 male jurors arguing and yelling at each other to decide the fate of one adolescent, who was accused of murdering his father. This classic Sidney Lumet movie is a tense and gripping emotional drama that has some of the greatest shots and incredible acting talents that will always be remembered as their respective juror number.
"Three on a Match" (1932) – Starring: Bette Davis, Joan Blondell, Humphrey Bogart and Ann Dvorak
A lot of people don't know about the era of pre-code. Hollywood tries to forget about that time in which most of its pictures dealt with sex, sin, crime, drugs, alcohol and sleaziness. If anyone wanted to see a film that is the definition of pre-code then "Three on a Match" is it.
It's a story about three childhood friends who take three different paths in their adult years. One (Dvorak) marries a wealthy lawyer, another goes through reform school (Blondell) and the other (Davis) becomes a typist. Unfortunately, the one who had the easiest in life by entering the world of privilege turns into a drug addict, abandons her son and leaves her husband.
"Double Indemnity" (1944) – Starring: Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson
A calm and cool insurance sales representatives (MacMurray) falls in love with a married femme fatale (Stanwyck), who wants to murder her husband for an insurance, which contains a large sum of money, but a pesky insurance investigator becomes suspicious after the crime is committed.
"Modern Times" (1936) – Starring: Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard and Stanley Blystone
Chaplin's well-known character, The Tramp, struggles to survive in modern day society that has been advanced through industrialism. He finds success, though, by the help of a homeless woman (Goddard).
"Citizen Kane" (1941) – Starring: Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead and Everett Sloane
News reporters try to find out the meaning of tycoon Charles Foster Kane's (Welles) last word before he died: rosebud.
"The Third Man" (1949) – Starring Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Bernard Lee and Trevor Howard
American crime novelist, Holly Martins (Cotten), finds out that his best friend, Harry Lime (Welles), has died. He travels to post-war Vienna, Austria, but discovers that there is more to his death than what appears. In a beautiful shot city with an unforgettable score, Martin realizes Lime was a black market opportunist.
"Suspicion" (1941) – Starring: Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine and Cedric Hardwicke
A lonely and timid woman (Fontaine) of privilege and wealth falls in love with an outgoing, handsome, lavish and sometimes mysterious man (Grant). They get married, but as their marriage progresses the wife begins to suspect him of trying to murder her.

Not that anyone seems to need an excuse to visit Las Vegas, but motorcycle collectors certainly have reason to be in Sin City in early January, when both MidAmerica Auctions and Auctions America by RM stage major classic bike events.
MidAmerica has nearly 400 bikes on the consignment list for its 21st annual Las Vegas Antique Motorcycle Auction, to be held January 12-14 at the South Point Exhibit Hall on the south end of The Strip, where Steve McQueen's widow, Barbara McQueen, will be "special guest of honor" and where she's putting the King of Cool's 1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross on the block.
Making its debut at Las Vegas is Auctions America, with more than 400 bikes available those same January 12-14 dates, but just west of the Interstate at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Bikes on the block range from a 1899 De Dion Buton Peugeot three-wheeler to five motorcycles from the Michael Jordan Motorsports racing team.
And if you can't make it to Vegas for the auctions, don't forget that Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art opens its Steel Ponies motorcycle exhibit March 10 in Indianapolis. See www.eiteljorg.org for details.
More than auctions in Arizona
On January 7, the 5 & Diner restaurant group returns to its roots by staging a Rockabilly Bash, a 12-hour (10 a.m. until 10 p.m.) festival of food, music and cars at Firebird International Raceway just south of Phoenix. See www.5anddiner.com/bash/ for details.
Then, on January 15, the "West Coast" debut of The Quest, a documentary movie about the first Corvette to win at Le Mans, is part of a special vintage racing car show to be held at The Arizona Biltmore. See www.cmcf.eventbrite.com for ticket information.
PAPA's preview open to the public
In addition to presentations by each of the auction houses, a panel of experts -- this year they are Keith Martin of Sports Car Market magazine; museum curator and Pebble Beach judge Ken Gross, and McKeel Hagerty of Hagerty Insurance and the Historic Vehicle Association -- will offer insights into Arizona Auction Week.
Only 100 tickets are available, at $20 each, and include the presentations, panel discussion, a question-and-answer session, goodie bags, door-prize drawing and a dessert buffet sponsored by www.classiccars.com at the conclusion of the program.

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
Though they've been getting along better than usual lately, it doesn't take a European history major to know that Ireland and the United Kingdom haven't always been on the coziest of terms. That's why these Irish Union Jack Shorties ($7) are looking to us like just about the silliest fashion statement we've seen in a long time. That is, unless you want to wear them to Belfast and see how quickly you can get your butt kicked by people from both sides of the political divide.

On Tuesday night's episode of "I Wanna Marry Harry", the girls were taken to the stables where the butler announced that 2 of them would be going on a date with "Sir" and the others would be doing some cleaning. And first surprise of the day was the girls chosen for the date were Chelsea and Maggie. Karina, who got the key to the Crown Suite last week, got to watch the girls clean and of course do some complaining.
The suppose Prince Harry took the 2 girls on a horse ride and then a lunch, which included beer and Chelsea was quick to point out that Maggie would definitely enjoy it, -which was a put down-, since all are aware that Maggie enjoys her alcohol a bit too much, and this having a bit more class let the comment go and did not make a scene before the man of the hour. However, once back at the house Maggie did call Chelsea out on the inappropriate comment she made, and this rather than apologize became aggressive and began her pouting that ended later on in the day with her asking to see "Sir, and telling him she was leaving the estate by giving excuse that the other's cattiness was getting to her, lack of character and aggressive behavior must be displayed not only when criticizing, but also with the obvious reciprocal chastising from those previously attacked.
Karina got to go on a date with "Sir", first a helicopter ride and then a boat ride along the Thames, where some girls were set up that would scream Prince Harry's name, just to reinforce the hoax, they kissed and without question there is chemistry between both of them. Later that night at dinner, the girls assumed that no one would be eliminated that night, since Chelsea had left of her own, so they felt that surely the one girl called would receive the key to the Crown Suite, then the butler came and asked for Anna Lisa, -who doesn't believe this bachelor is Prince Harry-, and the rest sighed in confusion, and suddenly another girl was asked for and it was Kelley, -who imagines herself a Princess and tries very hard to impress the suppose prince-.
And with both girls in different parts of the estate the presumed prince came to them and while Anna Lisa remain composed and secure in herself, Kelley on the other hand immediately begged not to be sent home, as tears rolled down her face. Anna Lisa was asked to leave the estate and Kelley much to her relief received the key to the Crown Suite. But don't forget Meghan who continues having much eye contact with the bachelor and with her furtively rubbing herself up against him, or touching him in some way; it will be interesting to see what these 2 will turn out to be at the end of the show.
"I Wanna Marry Harry" runs on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.

Here's why this album should be in your collection!
"Under The Boardwalk" (1964) was the second in what became a thematic trilogy of hits for the Drifters.
Drifters became an apt name for a group that endured frequent lineup changes and lost Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King as lead singers. But by 1962 they were building a successful run with Rudy Lewis.
Composers Kenny Young and Arthur Resnick inserted lyrics and music into "Under the Boardwalk" that linked directly back to "Up On The Roof." But Lewis died before the recording session. Johnny Moore, a former Drifters member, was brought back. The song became a chart topping hit and title track for an album featuring other now classic songs with Lewis ("On Broadway," "Vaya Con Dios,") and Moore ("I'll Take You Home," "One Way Love") on lead. (A video of "Up On the Roof" with Moore singing lead has also been discovered.)
"Under The Boardwalk" has two versions. We'll be making love, in the chorus refrain, was replaced by we'll be falling in love, to ensure radio airplay. The trilogy became complete when the Drifters released "I've Got Sand In My Shoes," later in 1964.
This album is available in vinyl, CD, and MP3 format from major vendors. Please consider purchasing it from a local independent record store.
Here's an interesting fact!
In 1964 the Democratic National Convention convened in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Television networks frequently showed live scenes from the resort area's famous tourist attraction: The Boardwalk.

The feathers are flying
I follow boxing, I am aware of cockfighting and I have seen a few mixed martial arts brawls in my time but I must confess, avid sportsman that I am, I have never even heard of chicken boxing. I've heard of playing chicken, Chicken Little, fried chicken and I even own a couple of rubber chickens. Chicken boxing?
Yesterday alert readers down in Opelousas, Loozyanah (Louisiana) have notified me that a controversial loophole in the state's cockfighting law has come under heated debate.
For those unfamiliar with this fast-growing sport, chicken boxing is a form of human kickboxing only chickens, not humans are the combatants. The chickens wear one-ounce rubber boxing gloves on their claws and spurs and face each other for ten rounds. The World Chicken Boxing Council (WCBC) sanctions the bouts with veterinarians ringside. The sport has become human boxing, cockfighting and mixed martial arts all rolled in to one. Wait until Pay-Per-View gets a hold of this sport!
Anyway, two capons fighting each other down in the Bayou has already been banned since 2008, but Republican Senator Elbert Guillory, and I am not making this up, has proposed a bill that would legitimize the less violent sport of chicken boxing. Says Guillroy, according to the Associated Press, "Instead of a blade or exposed spurs, they hit each other with boxing gloves…Which is quite safe. There's no blood."
Opponents are crying fowl, calling the proposed bill in-eggsusable and Republicans are hoping the issue will overshadow Obamacare as the issue that could gain new seats in the upcoming mid-term elections.
Just so you know, chicken fighting is not what it is all cracked up to be. After a chicken has takin' a lickin' most chicken boxer owners don't give a cluck. They're in it just for the scratch.
Check out the list for some more important facts about this historic bill, chicken boxing and a great Boxing Chicken recipe..
The Cicken Boxing Champeen of the World
And in this corner…Weighing in at 48 pounds 2 ounces, from somewhere in the Middle East, the reigning WCBC Champion of the World, Poultry Ali! The Champ's favorite meal is Chicken Allah King
Real Cockfighting
Animal rights activists call the sport cruel with no safety standards. Chicken boxing Republican supporters counter that the chicken boxers can just wing it.
Egg Boxing
The World Chicken Boxing Council (WCBC) has proposed a training program for chicken boxing hopefuls that involves starting them out at an early age. Egg boxing.
Boxing Chicken
In Southeast Asia in places like Thailand and Indonesia where cockfighting is as popular as the NBA there is actually a chicken wing dish called Boxing Chicken.
Boxing Chicken
5 Cloves Garlic, Smashed
3 Tbs. Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
4 Thai Chilies, Chopped
1 Tbs. Sesame Oil
Juice of 2 Limes

1 Tsp. Smoked Paprika
1 Tsp. 5-Spice
2 Tbs. Fish Sauce
Trim chicken drummets of fat around the upper bone and marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.
Dip in beaten egg and roll in Panko breadcrumbs. Deep-fry until browned about 5-7 minutes.

How to Define Curls in Your Virgin Curly Hair Extensions
This entry was posted on May 6, 2013.
More women are wearing their hair curly than straight these days and hair extensions are no exception. If you decide to purchase Perfect Locks virgin curly hair extensions there are a few things you should know to get the look you envision. First off, our virgin curly hair extensions have more of a deep wavy 's' shaped curl versus a tight spiral curl – if that is the look you desire, the tight or even kinky curly textures from our Steam Collection may work best for you.
Getting back to virgin curly hair - any curlista will tell you that their natural curls require some type of product for definition, hydration, and frizz prevention. Because virgin hair is completely unprocessed human hair, it behaves much in the same way your naturally curly hair does. So here are five tips for how to define the curls in your virgin curly hair extensions:
- Avoid product buildup. Keep your extensions clean by shampooing regularly with a sulfate free formula (our shampoo works very well). Product buildup will weigh down your extensions preventing the curls from forming freely.
- Hydrate! Spraying the extensions with water will moisturize the hair and reactivate the curl pattern. The best thing about water is it is free and will not cause any build up on the hair.
- Avoid rubbing. When you've wet the hair either from spritzing to help the curls to pop or after washing, try not to rub the hair to remove excess water with a towel or other material. Instead gently twist the hair and squeeze the excess water from the extensions. Rubbing will cause frizziness and may even cause the hair to tangle.
- Use a cream based product. Creams usually require less product to be added to the hair than sprays and are able to be more evenly distributed. You may choose to use a dollop of your favorite conditioner or a curl enhancing cream. Either way, start with as little product as possible and distribute using a wide tooth comb. Add a bit more product if necessary, but remember less is more!
- Sleep on Satin. Cotton causes friction on your virgin curly hair extensions and roughens the cuticle, robbing them of moisture and causing frizz. Sleeping on satin will help your curls remain intact much better throughout the night therefore taking less effort (and little to no additional product) the next day to style.

The Final Four only rivals the Super Bowl and the Olympics when it comes to being a road test for new technology and this year's hoops spectacle in Arlington, Texas is no exception.
I've written about Replay Technologies, Inc. and their freeD platform before, but now they are starting to get it on bigger stages, like the Final Four.
Working with CBS and Turner Sports, Replay Technologies is providing in-game replays of the national semis and championship game.
It's college basketball, like we've never seen before.
"We are extremely excited for college basketball fans to see the game in a whole new perspective, through the lens of this innovative technology," explains Oren Yogev, CEO of Replay Technologies. "By showcasing these never before seen perspectives of the game, our goal is to create increased exhilaration throughout the telecast."
The innovative technology is being used during a live telecast for the first time and for this event, for the first time.
The freeD™ technology was used recently during the NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, LA; and it also received rave reviews for tennis at the BNP Paribas Open, in Indian Wells, CA. For college basketball, it was tested for fans during the Kentucky vs. North Carolina matchup at AT&T Stadium earlier in the season.
The Final Four is a demanding event for debuting this technology, but Replay Technologies is up to the challenge.
"AT&T Stadium provides a perfect situation for our 5K cameras to deliver the highest imagery quality possible," adds Yogev. "Our cameras cover the entire basketball court, which will give viewers a full 360-degree vantage point of the action."
The freeD™, or free-dimensional video, is unique in that is allows audiences to view broadcasts of live-action sporting and any events from any angle. See what it would look like if you were sitting right on the floor or maybe even looking down on the players.
The replays are recorded with cameras that are 5x the resolution of HD cameras, so the picture is perfect.
It quickly renders the captured video in real-time, providing what you could accurately say is a virtual 3D model of the action.
These are replays you really do want to watch.

This month, we're walking (biking?) a mile in Bob McEnany's shoes. McEnaney is founder of Ride for a Reason, whose members bike for good causes.
True test: "Race Across America is regarded as the hardest endurance event in the world. It's roughly 3,000 miles from Oceanside, California, to Annapolis, Maryland, and you have 12 days or less to complete it. The clock is always running; you've basically got to be riding your bike the entire time."
Years of preparation: "I qualified for RAAM two years ago, so I've been training since then. It's an accumulation of years and years of training and practice and effort."
He's got a reason to ride: "Each year, members of Ride for a Reason will raise money for a charity or charities. This year, I'm fundraising for the Minnesota Military Family Foundation. I'm using Race Across America to kick off the charity fundraising."
Big hairy audacious goal: "I hope to inspire people, regardless of age or what they've done, to get out there and set a huge, possibly crazy, goal and prove that they can do it."

text: Jan 18, 2013 09:47 Drivers test Daytona as season approaches Drivers test Daytona as season approaches Driver Danica Patrick, right, signs autographs for fans after the morning session of NASCAR auto race testing at Daytona International Speedway, Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013, in Daytona Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux) BY FRED GOODALL| AP sportswriter Comments DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Danica Patrick's talking about challenges that lay ahead, Clint Bowyer's not saying whether he and Jeff Gordon have patched their differences and Brad Keselowski is eager to defend his Sprint Cup title. That's right, the start of another NASCAR season is just around the corner. Patrick said Thursday that she does not plan to race in this year's Indianapolis 500 because she wants to concentrate on her first full-time season on NASCAR's highest level of competition. Bowyer brushed aside questions about whether he and Gordon have made up in the months that have passed since a fight between the drivers' crews broke out after Gordon intentionally wrecked Bowyer the week before last season's finale. "Who cares? Really, who cares?" Bowyer said, addressing the media on the first day of testing of NASCAR's new "Gen 6" cars at Daytona International Speedway. "Apparently, you guys do way more than we do. I can promise you that." Keselowski is still riding high after capturing his first Sprint Cup championship in 2012. He was the first driver on the track for the start of three days of testing in preparation for next month's Daytona 500, even if he wound up running fairly low on the speed charts. "I am not happy not being fast. I can tell you that, but you try to put it in perspective of how much work is yet to be done over the next month or month-and-a-half," Keselowski said. "Being first on the track ... is our little way of needling the competition to say that even if we aren't fastest, we are going to be the first ones on it." Patrick, who announced on her Facebook page in November that she and her husband, Paul Hospenthal, are divorcing after seven years of marriage, also skipped the Indy 500 last year. Instead, she ran in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day, which is what she intends to do again. Patrick is coming off her first full season in NASCAR, a year in which she ran full Nationwide schedule and 10 Sprint Cup Series races after leaving IndyCar. "The team and I decided to focus on (Sprint) Cup. It's going to be plenty of work as it is, and it's going to be important for me running for the championship full-time for the first time to really keep myself focused with the Cup car," Patrick said. "But If I do do the Indy 500 moving forward, it will be with Go Daddy." She said her 2013 schedule also could include some Nationwide series events, although she has not yet signed a deal with a racing team or sponsor. "I'm not sure if that's completely set. There have been some reports that have come out about running for Turner, and we're definitely talking to them trying to figure it out," Patrick said. "We're definitely working on that, but there's been nothing signed yet, and the exact dates and the sponsor has yet to be confirmed for all that." Essentially, the Daytona testing marks the end of the offseason for drivers. There's more testing next week in Charlotte of the cars NASCAR is counting to improve racing and re-kindle fan interest, with Speedweeks at Daytona to follow. The Daytona 500 kicks off the Sprint Cup schedule Feb. 24. "Everybody is super excited about this race car and what it brings to our sport and the identity that it brings back to passenger cars you see on the roads. ... They're certainly cool looking," Bowyer said. Bowyer declined to say whether reports that he and Gordon spent time together on a boat on New Year's Eve. "I think he was on that same boat. There were a lot of other people on that boat. It was a big time being had," Bowyer said at one point. When asked if the drivers had spent any time bonding, Bowyer responded: "Yeah, we held hands and walked off the boat, discussed the past year and enjoyed ourselves throughout the whole vacation. That was the one person that I definitely wanted to take vacation with. Yes, I could not wait to get there for that very reason. Is that what you wanted me to say?" Patrick said she is looking forward to the challenge of running a full Sprint Cup challenge and reiterated it will be important to maintain realistic expectations of what she might be able to accomplish as a rookie. "I think it's very difficult at this point in time to put sort of numbers to exactly where I should be finishing," she said. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Jeff Ondo won't surprise as many track fans this year. The Midview junior is recognized as a threat for a Division I state championship in the high jump.
Last year, Ondo tied Middletown junior Jalin Marshall for fourth by clearing 6-foot-6. North Canton Glen Oak senior Cody Jones defeated Pickerington North sophomore John Harris for the title — both made 6-7, but Harris had more misses. New Albany junior Alex Frye was third, also clearing 6-6.
Youth was the hallmark of last year's state field. Eight of the top nine finishers and 10 of the top 12 were underclassmen.
Ondo is primed for this season's run-up to the postseason. He's been in training since December under the tutelage of Amherst assistant Mike Lugar, who heads Lake Erie Jumps Club.
"I feel like it's going to be a very good season," said Ondo, who is 6-1 and weighs 160 pounds. "I want to improve a lot. I haven't been training as much the past month because of stiffness in my lower back. I had to go to physical therapy, but my back is all better now. They said the problem had to do with a lack of flexibility, but once I stretch out every thing is fine."
Ondo works on strength training with a personal trainer at World Gym in Elyria. He's got a good grasp of the blueprint it takes to be on the top of podium in June at Ohio State.
"I need to get stronger with lifting," Ondo said. "With my approach pattern I just need to work on improving my speed, get faster with it and get a good last step."
Midview has never had a state track and field champ, but two barely missed. Charles Lange was second for the 3,200 meters in 1982. Aaron Fenzel took second in the 400 in 1997.
Ondo qualified to state last year with a third-place finish at the Amherst regional with a jump of 6-5. He tied his career best a week earlier when he captured the Amherst district at 6-6.
Only a 6-0 jumper as a freshman, Ondo made the first big step last year by joining Lugar's jumps club. The difference has been significant.
"Mike's focus is developing my speed," Ondo said. "I started getting better towards the end of last season.
"For heights my goal is jumping 6-10 or 7-0 hopefully by the end of the season."
Ondo started high jumping in the eighth grade, clearing 5-3 for a season best. He managed to clear 6-0 during the regular season as freshman, finished sixth at the 2011 West Shore Conference meet (5-10) but no-heighted at 5-8 at the district meet.
To come back and improve to 6-6 as a sophomore is nothing short of exceptional.
Twice Ondo has come close to breaking Gary Larkins' 1983 school record of 6-8½. The first time was after he cleared 6-6 last spring in a home dual meet vs. Avon.
"One of his biggest assets is he's probably one of the fastest high jumpers out there," Lugar said. "So for right now, it's about getting back to the basics and starting over. By the time we get to districts, regionals and state, we're going to have everything all polished out."
Larkins was Midview's last boys district champ for high jump, winning in 1983 and '84. He qualified to state both seasons.
"We're at the eight-step approach for right now so he can control his speed," Lugar said. "We're trying to get him back to 10 steps. As soon as he's able to control those, a lot of that has to do with reaction. How quickly can the muscles react.
"He's so fast right now he can't react. That takes time. He cleared 6-6 at district by a good 6 or 8 inches. It's just a matter of him getting more experienced. There are some very tough jumpers out there."
Ondo first hooked up with Lugar through a referral from Josh Hudson, a 2012 North Ridgeville graduate. Lugar's jump club represents up to 40 kids from 11 area high schools.
"It's going to be fun at this year's Lorain County meet," Lugar said of the April 19 event at Midview. "Those are all my kids. It's a blast. We're going to wear all kind of goofy socks. We all practice together so we might as well all jump together."

Brad Paisley's New Music Video for "All In" From the "Planes: Fire & Rescue" Movie Soundtrack
A few days ago we revealed that Brad Paisley had written a few songs for the Disney film Planes: Fire & Rescue. Now you can watch a clip of the new music video for one of those songs, "All In"!
The film centers on Dusty—an air race plane who, after his engine becomes damaged, is redirected to the world of aerial firefighting. The story holds special meaning to Brad, since his father, Doug, is a firefighter.
"My father is a firefighter. He was my whole life. My brother-in-law is a firefighter," said Brad. "I'm surrounded by it. So, I was really honored to be able to write and sum that up."

Living in Utrecht, Netherlands for six months in 2011 was an opportunity of a lifetime allowing me to experience a different culture. Some may talk about the challenges of learning Dutch. Others may write about 500 year old buildings and 800 year old churches. However, what I found most striking in the Netherlands is their primary mode of transportation . . . the fiet or bicycle. It is truly the Land of the Fiets .

Hailing from a feudal lineage, Rishiraj Singh was born on 10th October 1981 in the world renowned tourist destination Jaipur (popularly called Pink City) that is situated in the culturally and historically rich state of Rajasthan.
Rishiraj attended the St.Xaviers School in Jaipur and went on to do college at the Fergguson College in Pune, Maharashtra- the city that houses the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). Though acting had been a dream since childhood, living near the FTII strengthened his resolve.
Years ago, the acting bug had bitten his grandfather - an army officer who was being launched on the silver screen by the legendary Ashok Kumar, but was summoned back home by his orthodox father- a man who was guardian to half a dozen kings and among Rajputana's first graduates. Fortunately for Rishi, the orthodox views changed with time. The family was supportive of his dream and ambition.
During completing his Economics majors, Rishi enrolled in Kishor Namit Kapoor's acting lab - a studio responsible for producing some of the biggest stars and actors of Indian cinema. With the diploma complete, Rishi embarked on his Bollywood adventure.
Once in Mumbai (Bollywood), he attended noted dramatist Nadira Babbar's theatre workshop
Then came the international talent hunt, ' India's Best Cinestar ' hosted by leading entertainment corporation ZEE Television Network. Rishi made it to the top ten from amongst millions of contestants.
After having worked in short films made by direction graduates of FTII and University of Southern California, similar assignments followed with independent filmmakers. He then debuted in modeling with acclaimed director John Matthew Matthan (Sarfarosh, Shikhar).
Rishi's first big screen appearance will bear fruit in August 2008. HEROES is directed by Samir Karnik (Kyu? Ho Gaya Na, Nanhe Jaisalmer).
His friendly cameo is alongside a stellar cast comprising of some of India's biggest stars- Sunny Deol, Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta, Sohail Khan and thrice national awardee Mithun Chakravarty.
Then came the big break- BHOOMI (Homeland). Rishi plays the protagonist in this socio-political drama produced by Shahnab Alam and directed by twice national awardee cinematographer Abhik Mukhopadhya (Paatal Ghar, Bunty aur Babli, Chokher Bali, Last Lear).
The cast includes Rajat Kapoor, Pawan Malhotra, Biju Phukan, Seema Biswas, Piyush Mishra, Shahna Goswami, Ankur Khanna, Risha Phukan and Arjun Mathur.
With the publicity making waves at Cannes, the film is slated for a November 2008 release.
School and college days saw Rishi participating regularly in dramatics, strengthening his resolve to take up acting as a career.
Though a jack of trades such as Volleyball, Basketball and Soccer, Rishiraj has been a state level swimmer during his student days.

He looked several years older and was very stressed. His stubble had grown into a short beard which, much like his robes, had sand and dirt woven into. The mere sight of his old Apprentice had Obi Wan reciting the Jedi code inside his head with the hopes it would hold back the hatred he'd developed for his former pupil. Getting into the life style of a desert hermit had been tough on old Obi Wan and he was constantly struggling with his emotions.
"How do you look like you do?" Obi Wan asked raising his lightsaber "I watched you burn by the flames of Mustafar!"
Anakin turned, his eyes lighting up. "Master!" he exclaimed. "You had me worried... not answering my hails and all." He frowned. "Where did you crash?"
That's when the differences between this Obi-Wan and the one he'd been flying beside just ten minutes ago really sank in. As Obi-Wan raised his lightsaber, looking more ready to chop Anakin in half than to embrace him, Anakin took a step backward, his hand going to his own saber.
"Obi-Wan?" he asked hesitantly. "What's wrong?"
Mom tells me I need brain food... but if writing ain't that, I don't know what is!

Elegant and stylish with pure, rich, vibrant focused sweet cherry and blackberry fruit that is supple and polished. The aromas capture the ripe berry fruit with just a touch of toasty oak, finishing with fine grain tannins that linger.
"A Bordeaux blend, St Supéry's Élu is a polished wine with great length. The engaging tobacco aromas suggest complexity, which is exactly what follows. Layers of earthy smoky flavors complement the ripe black-fruit character. Supple, silky tannins make it easy to pop the cork now." Michael ApsteinWine Review Online

Concerned parents will be interested in a report released yesterday that targets meals designed for kids that are full of everything except nutrition. Some of the meals served up by chain restaurants contain up to 1,000 calories that approaches the lower recommended total daily calorie intake of 1,200 calories recommended by the government.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), along with the University of North Carolina at Asheville, worked to analyze 3,498 kids' meal combinations from 41 top chain restaurants.
Among the restaurants, 34 chains provided nutrition information. The results show there has not been much change since the group conducted their survey in 2008. Children's meals at 91 percent of the restaurants surveyed are still laden with calories, sodium, fat and little nutrition.
In their report titled "Obesity on the Menu" the researchers said children consume approximately 25 percent of their calories at fast-food and other restaurants. Because dining out is so rampant, the nutritional quality of meals is important.
The study found the percentage of meals decreased in fat since 2008, but most are higher in sodium and calories.
The investigation pitted the nutritional quality of kids' meals in restaurants against the NRA's Kids LiveWell standards that recommend no more than 600 calories or less, including beverages per meal for children.
Less than 35 percent of calories should come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. Recommended sodium content per meal should be less than 770mg.
Two sources of fruit, vegetables, protein, whole grains and lower fat dairy should be included in each meal.
The CPSI study evaluated entree, side items and beverages from each restaurant's children's menu, taken from their website or from the in-restaurant menu.
Eighteen percent of 50 restaurants studied had no dedicated children's meals that included Domino's Pizza, Dunkin' Donuts, 7-Eleven, Papa John's, Golden Corral, Church's Chicken, Little Caesars Pizza, HomeTown Buffet/Old Country Buffet, and Starbucks.
Cracker Barrel, Old Country Store and Restaurant, Hooters, Waffle House, the Cheesecake Factory, and Texas Roadhouse did not disclose nutritional information for their meals.
Key findings from the 41 restaurants:
- 83 percent offered fried chicken entrees to kids
- 65 percent served up burgers
- 45 percent had macaroni and cheese or other cheesy pasta dishes.
- Just 35 percent offered one of the healthier options of grilled chicken.
- Few of the meals included whole grains or vegetables
- 20 percent of chains offered breakfast for children
Calorie content ranged from 80 in P.F. Chang's "Baby's Buddha Feast" to 800 found in "Beef Minis" at Ruby Tuesday's
Just 53 percent had vegetable side items for kids like steamed or fresh broccoli, carrots, celery, salad, corn or green beans. In contrast, 73 percent offered potato chips, fried potatoes or French fries.
CPSI found some fruits on children's menus, as a side item, including applesauce or apple slices, fruit cups, mandarin oranges, and grapes. A handful of restaurants listed watermelon, bananas, and pineapple.
Beverage offerings varied - 78 percent of kids' meals included soft drinks and 48 percent high fat dairy. More than half had fruit juice on children's menus and 40 percent non-fat or low-fat milk.
Desserts included ice cream, cookies and shakes specifically for children.
Sixty-six percent exceed recommended salt content. Eight-six percent have more than 430 calories, which is recommended by experts. Half of kids' meals contained more than 600 calories recommended by the "Kids LiveWell" standard.
Is there a 'best' restaurant to take your child?
You can ensure your child gets a healthy meal, but it's important to pick the healthier options available. If there is no low-fat dairy or fruit options or you have to pay extra for vegetables or fruits, pick another dining option. Forty-four percent of the restaurants had healthy food for kids to choose from.
Subway topped the list for all of their children's meals. Burger King has an oatmeal breakfast that can help your child boost intake of grains. Olive Garden offers whole wheat pasta and P.F. Chang's and Chipotle offer brown rice, all of which can help your child meet "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" recommendations for good health.
Other recommendations
The CPSI would like to see more restaurants participate in the National Restaurant Association's Kids LiveWell program.
They recommend restaurants reformulate kids' meals, get rid of sugary drinks, offer more fruits and vegetables and not charge extra, but include the options with meals.
More whole grains are needed, the group also says.
The consumer group would also like to see the food industry promote healthy meals to kids rather than bombarding them with ads for junk food. You can read the full investigation here, along with other recommendations and findings from the report.
