The top four designers are told they have $10K to make 12 looks for their final collections, and that they shall return to New York for another judging to determine who will then compete at New York Fashion Week to become the winner of Season 11 of ("Project Runway Teams," remember?). If those designers are feeling at all as I did that day, it is an immense sense of relief and accomplishment, as the utter exhaustion sets in and it all feels quite surreal. As I was "released" and given my cell phone back, and permitted to take a walk by myself in New York to kill time before my flight, it was a strange feeling of vulnerability and displacement...even though I'd lived in and subsequently visited New York before. The whole thing felt like a dream. What just happened?
Now for the home visits!
Tim's first destination is Taos Pueblo, NM, to see Patricia and experience her environment, which is incredibly culturally rich. The food her family cooked looked amazing, and what a beautiful setting, right down to her studio (really impressive)! Tim's time in Patricia's native land gave him an epiphany about who she is and where much of her aesthetic comes from7#151;it's hard not to! She tells Tim her inspiration is simply, "trees," which seems a bit general.
Next he visits Michelle in Portland, where she reveals she had been in the wine industry for years had decided one day to start making clothes. Her collection is inspired by the "Lone Wolf," a descriptive which interestingly she had used to refer to her emotional state earlier in the season. I have to say I can relate to that sentiment. I often felt lonely during the intense experience that is "Project Runway." It sounds odd to say that, unless you've been through it, because ironically you're surrounded by others constantly. There is no privacy except when you're in the bathroom. Contestants are either chaperoned or with roommates at all times. It wasn't until I was the last woman standing that I was even fully alone for more than a few minutes. And even then, the competition was almost over at that point.
In Austin, Tim calls on Daniel, sporting a new Labradoodle (or as Tim says, "Chia Pet") hairdo, and does not reveal where he lives...why? He sets everything up in his friend's house. He is using a lot of blackand stingrayin his collection, which has multiple inspirations that do not necessarily relate to one another. Daniel shows Tim his mood board and explains that he was influenced by his trip to Berlin, the Cosmos, and...Salvador Dali. Then a light bulb went off in my head. Dali...moustache! Everyone Google images of Dali now. Do it. Daniel is SO channeling him, from the hair to the moustache to the facial expressions.
Here in La L aLand, Tim checks in on Stanley, who is working out of a glamorous space right on Hollywood Boulevard, merely blocks away from the Walk of Fame, very appropriate for his luxurious "Old Hollywood" collection. He says it's 1960s meets Renaissance Spain. Nice mid-century dinette set, Stanley!
As predicted, when the designers return to New York and the 1407 Broadway building as their satellite workroom, they are instructed to select the three looks which best exemplify their collections and (ideally) will leave the judges salivating to see more, so that they will go through to NYFW.The producers just couldn't leave it alone, so they invited the last four designers back to help. Apparently Stanley needs the most help of all, with some looks barely sewn, so he gets Richard, the least helpful! Layana helps Patricia, and then gossips about her to the othersare we surprised? Michelle and Amanda (with a very fetching ombré hair color, I might add) are reunited, and Samantha gets to help Daniel add four inches to one of his small-fitting pieces. (Which would mean that garment was what...a double-0?)
Stanley selected three looks which, while very luxurious and well-crafted, were quite stodgy. They strike me as *too* vintage, as if one were to go into a costume house or high-end vintage store and copy period pieces exactly, only changing the textiles. However even the textiles looked vintage, though it is impressive that all the beading was done by hand. Nina was somewhat drawn to his collection because of the luxury element, but the proportions were all wrong, and the looks lack any sort of forward design or allure/sex appeal. It's not to say they need to be sexy, but they could use an injection of modernity. The gold dress, in particular, made the model appear to be twice her size, and was too heavy-handed. Stanley said he loves American sportswear, yet the sportswear element was completely absent.
Patricia, kooky Patricia. She is a talented and creative textile artisan, but she does not understand how to put a collection together. Granted, we have not seen the whole thing, but the three looks she showed were not cohesive. One material (horsehair) is not enough to hold a collection together. The cape trimmed with horsehair was clearly the star, but I don't see how the "Dr. Seuss" blue dress with sea-anemone headpiece would be in the same collection or worn by the same woman. And the third look, while graphic and ethnic, was not special enough. I got a real Chico's vibe from that one. However, Heidi has a soft spot for Patricia because she is so different, and designs things we haven't seen before (for better or for worse). Heidi: "You could win this thing!" Really?
Daniel seemed very confident in the workroom, and reluctant to take any advice from Tim. He showed three all-black looks, which anyone who's watched the show knows is extremely risky and almost never outshines another collection. I was waiting for Nina to go off on him, and of course she did (I got a similar lecture from her because I hardly used any color in my final collection, either). But Nina is right: if you're going to use ALL black, the shapes need to be fantastic, graphic, striking. Texture is key as well. He used stingray, but like Patricia, thought it was enough of a common element to tie everything together. His looks were simply not forward or interesting enough. This was no surprise to me, though, as I've thought in general Daniel's design tends to be dated. What *was* surprising, though, is the fact that he used all black, after seeing his past designs and how much he loves bright color. In the end, Daniel does not advance; I've said it before: the judges almost always favor the designer with MORE ideas (even if they are questionable ones) to the one with not enough.
Michelle is the only designer, in my opinion, who fully executed and understands how to translate a concept. Not only were her three "Lone Wolf" looks thoughtful and rich with layers and texture, they made me want to see more. They were diverse in material and style, yet still very cohesive. The sweater was fantastic, and I love that she collaborated with "LOL Cats" Joe and utilized his knit expertise! I also really like the delicate, sheer "underpinning" layers, contrasted with hardware, leather, knit, and neoprene. Overall the looks were bordering on too busy for me personally, but then again, the runway is about fantasy to some degree, and editing is always a possibility. The compass was too gimmicky and even though I like the tousled hair, it was just a tad TOO messy. The makeup could have benefitted from a neutral shadow and deep berry or brown lip to emulate a modern huntress. I'm looking forward to seeing the entire collection next week.

What you have here is a reality show where a former prosecutor and a former crime scene investigator team up to solve actual cold cases. Every week they go from place-to-place, solving crimes, doing good, and putting the bad guys on notice. Kelly Siegler is the prosecutor, Yolanda McClary is the crime scene investigator, and the bad guys are hidden (maybe in plain sight, maybe not). Watching these crime solvers/prosecutors do their thing could, potentially, be quite interesting. Will they be able to solve the cold cases? Will their solutions lead to the prosecuting of suspects?

I've always liked "The Holly and The Ivy," but George Winston takes it to a whole new level with his version. As much as I'm not really feeling Christmas music this year, this song never gets old. Even the snowy picture is kinda nice. Except for how much it reminds me of what's actually outside my window, which is not so nice. -5 tomorrow night, are you kidding me??!! Anywho, wish I could find a live version of this song. Peace out.

7:30 -- Joe Louis Arena
Wings: 32-15-6 (70 points) 2nd in West | Predators: 28-19-7 (63 points) 5th in West
If you haven't already, be sure to catch Petrella's first installment of his romantic getaway with the Red Wings this past weekend. It's the opening to a riveting tale of magic wands, hot dogs, the human spirit and Italian people. Probably the coolest thing that will happen to any of us blogger folk unless we band together and help bring a guy from a different hemisphere up to Joe Louis and raise a bunch of money for charity or some improbable shit like that. While a bunch of folks are going to express jealousy and probably some form of bodily harm against you, Mike, I'd just like to say that I'm immensely happy for you and that it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Unless it were me.
While Mike took a lot of heat for being present for back-to-back shutouts and obviously having some sort of negative impact on the team, Nashville's stout defense and ability to always provide a tough match-up to us can be said to be part of the reason as well. They're a Top-5 squad in goals against per-game and penalty killing, and they're also within range of a long grenade toss to challenge for the division title. Nobody in their right mind actually thinks that's going to happen, but at the very least those guys can be very distracting when glancing at our rear-view mirror.
The Preds will go with Rinne between the pipes tonight, so I have concocted a master plan to start him on my fantasy team to lay the jinx hammer down. (Mini pessimist's pointless prediction: Wings will now lose 9-8.) They're coming off a 4-0 loss the mighty Oilers so I'm expecting nothing less than a hellacious effort out of them to start the game.
Oh, and Homer's back, by God. With him out of the lineup the last nine games, we've gone 2 for 27 on the power play. Eight of those nine we didn't score a goal. In three games against Nashville we've gone 1 for 14 -- the lone goal scored by Tomas Holmstrom.
Nashville plays the 1st period with their hair on fire, but we'll still be riding that turning-it-around momentum with Datsyuk and Homer back in the lineup to combat it. 4-3 shootout win for the good guys to avoid a 3rd straight loss to the Preds. Hank scores the winner with his first shootout goal since a locker room game of NHL 94 against Kyle Calder.
Go Wings.

LBS also claims that they only charge $75 do prepare taxes and then they tell you they will look up other forms to try and get you more money. They do not just search for forms but use them anyways even if not needed and charge upwards of $100 per form. Most tax places will do a search and if they can't find one they will not charge for the form because it is of no help to the client. BUT LBS will still charge for the forms when no extra money is there! Instead of spending $75 for tax preparation clients are walking out having paid close to $1,000!
They have had the city calling them about complaints and have been threatened will action but ignore it and continue to do this even though they know they are not supposed to. Once they have been reported they stop going to old locations as to not get caught and go out to new areas to start all over again! They tell the city and the police that they are not the ones leaving the cards but it is their previous clients who are doing it because they want to get paid extra cash for sending new clients in.
Clients should NOT sign anything if they do not agree with it and CAN go somewhere else to file their taxes if they are not happy with any tax company! There is no obligation to pay if a client does not sign the paper work and wants a second opinion.

Tax Preparerers are getting Greedier and Greedier...
AUTHOR: LD - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013POSTED: Saturday, January 05, 2013
I remember a few years ago I needed someone to do my taxes and went to this professional tax company who did my taxes for around $150.00. I was making quite a bit of money at the time and did not need to haggle over doing them myself. It was a standard 1040 Form. Single no exemptions. No itemizations.
Well, fast forward to this past year and I had to do an amendment on two tax years. I had left off a deduction. I called around to all the major tax preparer companies and they were all around $600 to $800 dollars. Just to do the amendments meaning add the credit into my tax form.
I said no way. That is nothing but a ripoff. I had never done my taxes before and was petrified of doing my own taxes. But I called the IRS and ordered the forms and read through the little booklet. The IRS will assist with basic questions but they won't go line item by line item especially if you have tax returns that include a lot of itemizations and tax sheltering, etc.
My tax forms were pretty simple to do. I finished both in about 30 minutes and mailed them off. Everything checked out with them so apparently I did them correctly. I will never pay the exhorbitant fees these companies are charging to do the taxes. Tax companies use to be reasonable but what they do now is play on the stupidity of the public by saying they will take their fees directly out of the refund and that way most people who are getting several thousand don't care but $1,200 is a LOT or even $1,000 is a LOT regardless of how much money you are getting.
People need to learn how to do their own taxes so they won't be railroaded.
Last, this tax company is one I would run away from. If they are marketing that aggressively it smells of desperation and that is not good.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Previewing the East: Toronto Maple Leafs
Thursday, 09.5.2013 / 8:00 AM ET / Features
By Kristyn Repke - BlueJackets.com
NOTE: Over the next several weeks, BlueJackets.com will take an extensive, in-depth look at the Jackets' new opponents in the Eastern Conference. Be on the lookout for photo galleries, analysis, video highlights and more!
Head coach: Randy Carlyle
Captain: Dion Phaneuf
Division: Atlantic
LAST YEAR: 26-17-5 (57 points); 5th in the Eastern Conference, lost to the Boston Bruins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
VS. CBJ in '13-14: 10/25, 11/25, 3/3
OUTLOOK: Who could forget the Maple Leafs' heartbreaking loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs? The Maple Leafs players and staff sure haven't. Though they made the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade, the Maple Leafs spent the offseason making sure their line-up is ready to make another run at the Stanley Cup. With the addition of the size and talent of former Chicago Blackhawks center Dave Bolland (you know, the guy who scored the Cup-winning goal in 2013) and former New Jersey Devils power forward/Ontario native David Clarkson, as well as highly touted 2013 NHL Draft pick Morgan Reilly, expect the Maple Leafs to use their tough playoff loss as the motivation they need to survive the 2013-14 season. They've beefed in goal, as well, trading for Jonathan Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings in hopes that he forms a solid tandem with incumbent James Reimer.
James Reimer
The starting goalie position won't come easy for Reimer, but he certainly made his case in the Stanley Cup Playoffs by forcing the Bruins to win Game 7 in overtime and being one of the Leafs' best players in the postseason. Bernier is the other goalie fighting for the spot, and both he and Reimer are more than capable of carrying the mail in the starting role. The 25-year-old Reimer had a career-best season in 2012-13, which included a 19-8-5 record, four shutouts, a .924 save percentage and a 2.46 goals against average. His play was a central factor in the Leafs' first trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2004, and if he can keep up the numbers from last season, the Maple Leafs will certainly be in playoff contention once again in 2013-14.
Phil Kessel
The points leader for the Maple Leafs in both goals (20) and assists (32) is hoping for yet another productive season. He is also looking to secure a spot on Team USA's roster for the Olympics in Sochi, and will have to let his play for the Maple Leafs make the case. He's a consistent player who is more than capable of scoring 30+ goals this season, making him a player to watch on this Toronto team that showed it can light the lamp a year ago.

A lot of young photographers are missing out on something special. All they know is digital photography. I think every photographer at some point in their careers must do the following:
1) Shoot 5 rolls of Black and White film
2) Process the 5 rolls by hand.
3) Make contacts of those rolls of film in a darkroom.
4) Look over those contacts and pick out a few pictures and make prints.
5) Select your favorite from the batch and get it matted and framed.
C'mon now, get your hands dirty! Photographers have had an intimate relationship with their photos since the early 19th century. Spend time with your work and experience the process. Then when its all done, reward yourself with a framed photo of your work. Hang it on the wall...you made it!

After arriving yesterday in San Diego, he planned to do it again.
"Last year, Cal thought they should have been in the BCS, and they were disappointed," said Bellotti, whose team faces Oklahoma in Thursday's Pacific Life Holiday Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium. "For whatever reason, they weren't as prepared as they needed to be."
One year ago, fourth-ranked Cal (10-1) aspired to a berth in the lucrative Bowl Championship Series (BCS), only to fall to the Holiday Bowl for a matchup against unsung, four-loss Texas Tech. Cal ended up getting upset, 45-31.
The year before that, similar circumstances haunted No. 5 Texas in a 28-20 loss against Washington State.
Now it's sixth-ranked Oregon (10-1), which dreamed of the Fiesta Bowl but instead fell all the way down the Pacific Coast for a game against unranked, four-loss Oklahoma.
So the bait has been laid.
And the trap has been set.
But will the Ducks bite?
"I don't think we have the same problem," Bellotti said.
He gives a few general reasons:
Mental preparation. His Ducks are disappointed about not getting a Fiesta berth, but not that disappointed, in part because they knew it was a good possibility to happen before it happened. If only because they saw it happen to Cal last year, the Ducks had braced for the fall.
"There was a preparation in advance knowing we might not go (to the BCS)," Bellotti said.
Cal, in retrospect, never seemed to get over the snub of being left out of the Rose Bowl, especially after Texas coach Mack Brown publicly campaigned to get his team into the BCS – and succeeded, at Cal's expense.
"It's behind us now. It's over," Oregon center Enoka Lucas said. "Our focus is on Oklahoma."
Awareness of the opponent. Last year, after learning it was drawing Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl, the Cal community seemed to wonder, "Who's that?"
Not so with Oklahoma, a hype-heavy program that has played in the national championship game three of the past five years. More to the point, Oregon knows Oklahoma, to the tune of a 31-7 loss last year in Norman. Next year, the Ducks play the Sooners at home on Sept. 16.
"It's really developed into somewhat of a short-term rivalry, which is kind of nice," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
Said Bellotti: "We know what Oklahoma is all about. That attention has helped us. I'll probably talk more about Cal. But I have not seen any of that (lingering letdown) from our players or our coaches."
The matchup. Bellotti isn't convinced that the Bears suffered a letdown last year as much as they were susceptible to Tech's spread aerial attack.
"Intersectional games are all about matchups," Bellotti said. "I don't know if it was Cal's mental attitude or mental frame of mind. It was a tough matchup. Texas Tech does some things that obviously made it difficult."
This year, Bellotti said, his team's biggest matchup problems are how to counteract the speed on Oklahoma's defense and how to contain Sooners running back Adrian Peterson.
"And I don't have answers yet," he said. "We're working on it."

A high-speed, self-checking count circuit realization is attainable by using combinational logic and parity prediction. The utilization of combinational logic as opposed to sequential logic design generally minimizes the amount of software necessary for routine and diagnostic testing. Count circuits with parity prediction find application in stand-alone, self-checking processors.

I'm looking at a top half finish this year. I'm hoping we dust off the teams that we should, on paper, be beating.Ramos has been a positive...I don't know what was going on with Jol, he's a good manager, he took us to two 5ths, I'll always question his tactical knowledge (he had some, but there are others who had/have a lot more). Yes he was undermined and no I wouldn't mind seeing the backs of Levy and Comoli, but somehow the whole thing got to the players and they underperformed.If we can keep King healthy, and get that partnership back with Dawson (hope he's not out for a lengthy spell), things will look decent in the back...even Robinson will come on strong!Not sure what next month and transfer activity will bring, I'm hoping it doesn't bring anything and nothing leaves either...we shall see.Here's to our continued success through the holiday season and beyond!happy New Year chaps!
I would like to see a good left sider brought in in the jan transfer window. Plus we still need a solid defensive midfielder. Ohara looks class, Malbranque has been working his socks I think he is doing really well for the team.Defensive cover is a must during Jan and like you said hopefully King will stay fit. Kaboul is getting better but still a long way of being a class defender. Far to casual and lacks concentration.Since Daws has not been playing we have not been leaking so many goals :). He was good but has lost his way this season, he and Kaboul just cannot play together (when they do play). I think we should get a win against Reading esp since we are at home.The Chelsea game should be interesting with Lamps out as well as a host of others. I think we should be able to get something there.The fulham game was not pretty but all that counts is the 3 points in the bag.COYS

Watch "Google Baby (2009)" Movie Online
Google Baby is a journey across three continents telling the story of the up and coming baby production industry in the age of globalization. Doron, an Israeli entrepreneur with a high tech background proposes a new service - Baby production. The baby producer (as he introduces himself) provides customers with a cost effective solution using outsourcing of the surrogacy element to India as way to lower prices. The preferred genetic material is selected by the clients and the rest is left in the hands of the producer: Sperm and eggs are purchased on-line and multiple embryos are produced and frozen. Packed in liquid nitrogen only the embryos that fit the customers preferences are shipped by air to India - where they are implanted into the wombs of local surrogates. The customers arrive only at the end of the nine month pregnancy period to pick up their babies. Today, technology has turned 'making a baby' into an act independent of sex..

What does it mean to be a "hero"? Is it a blustery athlete preening after a win?
More likely it fits the countless unsung "heroes" of Stockton quietly working and volunteering in various services - education, medicine, music, the arts, libraries, churches and organizations that protect and support the less fortunate.
It's time to give due recognition to the many good people of Stockton not seen on the front pages of the news perhaps but important for the "fabric" of our city!

Roy Harper will fulfill his comic book destiny on "Arrow," as Entertainment Weekly revealed on the Wednesday of Comic-Con that the character, played by Colton Haynes, will take on the Arsenal identity in the upcoming season three. The first image of Roy-as-Arsenal shows that he's sticking with a red hoodie, but one considerably more "costumed vigilante" and less "H&M."
Season two was a tough one for Roy Harper -- including being unwillingly injected by Mirakuru serum, and subsequently going on a rampage that resulted in him killing a police officer (something he's not yet aware he did). In DC Comics lore, Roy Harper became Arsenal in 1993 following decades as Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy.
"Arrow" season three is scheduled to debut Oct. 8 on The CW.

Together We Shine – Part 1
Together We Shine – Part 2
An Arts & Science in the Woods Program Documentary
created by Eve Studnicka, a former AISW student
"For six years I attended Art & Science in the Woods as a student. I splashed through marsh waters with my socks and shoes on. I danced along to the ever popular "Banana Phone" perpetually blasting over the loud speakers. I participated in silly hat day and eagerly had my face painted every morning. I also learned the art of plaster casting from one of Peoria's most renowned sculptors as well as how to throw pots on a wheel while a ceramicist from Champaign gave me encouragement and pointers. This poignant fusion of professional technique and pure fun went all but undetected to me during that week in June. I was too busy hiking up hills and through ravines, passing spider webs and the tallest White Oak in Illinois on my way to class. It wasn't until I could stand back and examine my time at Art & Science in the Woods that I was able to put my finger on what it was that made that camp so special. It wasn't any specific feature that put ASIW in a class all its own, but rather the seamless melding of every element that should be incorporated into every child's learning experience. The connection to one's surroundings, the exposure to media and techniques that are not "dumbed-down" for younger participants, the passionate and wise individuals passing along their knowledge, and the wholeheartedly enjoyable and kid-friendly atmosphere; these are all much discussed in idealistic contemplation of the younger generation's education, but rarely manifested. At ASIW, they all fell into place for me in a way that profoundly impacted the way that I both learn and teach to this day. As a videographer, I endeavor to follow the three basic principles that are at the core of the ASIW learning experience: exposure, interpretation, and creation. They are parts of a beautiful cycle that I fell into the day I arrived at ASIW, and one that I am honored to be able to utilize to give back to a wonderful program and organization. " ~ Eve

From January 31st-May 31st of 2013, I worked alongside Tara Hart, Digital Archivist of the New Museum, to identify unique holdings within the audiovisual archives of the New Museum. Assisting the museum in caring for its audiovisual collection, I was given hands-on experience in the field of media preservation, and an opportunity to learn about digitization processes and a range of video formats. Perhaps of equal significance was my exposure to the dynamic history of the New Museum, an "institution devoted to presenting, studying, and interpreting contemporary art" (New Museum-History).
I provided a detailed account of the New Museum's audiovisual holdings (including format, condition, and available descriptive information), identified holdings deemed unique within the context of the New Museum's history, mission, and archival goals, and explored possible avenues in assisting the New Museum to protect and preserve its video holdings for future generations.

For Dads: Fun Family Fitness
Spend this Father's Day playing outside
It's June, and Father's Day is coming up — time to indulge Dad with some R&R, perhaps a favorite beer and a chance to catch a game on TV. Nothing wrong with a little well-earned downtime.
But the best gift a dad could get is one he gives himself: the gift of getting fit. Turns out it's a gift for the whole family, too, since research shows that when dads engage in healthy behavior, kids are more likely to follow their example.
Let's face it, we live in an age when obesity is a rising epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control indicate that more than one-third of adults and 19 percent of children are obese, figures that have doubled and tripled respectively since 1980. Few children get the recommended 60 minutes per day of brisk physical activity, and even fewer fathers get close to the daily half-hour of exercise they are advised to get. The National Center for Fathering notes a number of studies that indicate the biggest risk — or benefit — to kids' health and weight is the behavior of their parents. A father's behavior has an especially strong impact on his children, particularly daughters.
But dads and kids can take care of each other by being active together. Instead of watching a game on the couch, dads, while your kids play video games in the next room, take them out to the backyard and start playing!
"Play" is the operative word when it comes to getting fit with your family. Adults would do well to take more cues from kids on the fitness front; for them, exercise isn't about heading to the gym or slogging away on a treadmill ... It's play time! Children are naturally physical, and it doesn't usually take much, once we coax them outdoors or into an activity situation, for them to dive right in with energetic enthusiasm.
An added advantage is that the time dads and kids spend together on physical fitness is just that: time together. It's a win-win-win situation when you can nurture your own well-being, promote your children's health and bond more closely in the process.
With summer happily here, pursue some family fitness fun from this slate of good-for-you activities.
Get rolling
Got bikes sitting in the garage? Pull them out, pump up the tires, dust off the derailleurs and get going. Find a community path network or a country road, maybe a mountain trail or jeep track if you're looking for adventure. Rent tandem bikes for a fun change of pace. If your kids are younger riders, consider buying a tandem trailer bike, so you can boost your heart rate without leaving them behind. In addition to biking, try roller-blading. If you've got little ones, encourage a young scooter-rider to zip alongside you while you push the baby in the jogging stroller. When there are wheels to ride, the possibilities are exhilarating!
Train together
My 11-year-old daughter just ran her first road race alongside her dad when they joined more than 53,000 other runners in one of the country's biggest 10Ks, the annual Memorial Day Bolder Boulder. They spent the last two months working up to the event and finished in a respectable 55 minutes. Now, they've got a goal to surpass that time next year. And who knows? Perhaps a half-marathon is in their future once she hits her teens, if Dad's knees hold up. With younger children, consider an easier 5K race. Run the Planet lists races and routes for runners worldwide. Check out what's happening near you. The site also includes lively running games to play with children, which can serve as "effortless" training sessions.

Got a family pooch? Chances are he needs exercise as much as you do. Our vet says doggie obesity is on the rise, too, as pet owners become less active. Use Fido as an excuse to get moving with the kids. Have them help choose a destination — perhaps the local farmers' market? Lunch at a favorite burger stand? A tract of undeveloped woods laced with trails and cool shadows? Take turns holding the leash. And vary your pace: Mixing a regular walking rate with short bursts of power striding, especially up hills, acts like interval training and is great for enhancing your cardiovascular capabilities.
Set up a backyard obstacle course
Here's a chance to get creative with your kids, using stuff lying around the house or garage to make an exciting new venue for outdoor activity. Plan a series of stations that competitors must navigate, and use a stopwatch to determine who's quickest to complete the course — or set up side-by-side stations and run two at a time; the neighbor kids will be over before you know it! Sawhorses can serve as hurdles; tape big cardboard boxes together to create a tunnel to crawl through; construct a running slalom course with orange construction cones; add hula hoops for 20 hip rotations and jump ropes for 20 skips before moving on to sideways hopping through the rungs of an extension ladder lying flat in the grass … Use your imagination! The kids will get a big kick out of watching Dad try to negotiate the course they've had a hand in designing.
Play ball
What says "summer fun" more than a ball game? Sadly, this traditional childhood activity seems to have fallen out of favor as families spend more time indoors and in front of television screens. Urge your kids to get outside by mounting a basketball hoop and trading jump shots. Go for the goal with an inexpensive backyard soccer net. Grab a football and play some catch, or even better, make it a game of touch (85 calories versus 297 burned in 30 minutes). Invite another family or two over and set up a volleyball net. Play tennis at a local park. Or teach your kids some old standbys from your youth: Remember four square (use chalk on the driveway!) and wall ball?
Choose an active nature outing
The traditional family summer vacation may be a casualty when times are tough financially. But spending time in nature can make hanging out around home feel like a vacation. The whole family gets refreshed and rejuvenated when you're active in the great outdoors. A local hike is a great way to spend a summer day. Find a trail with a reward at the end, like a mountain lake or a fabulous view from a ridge — an incentive for any hiker. Kids love getting out onto the water, too: Swim at a local lake; rent kayaks for a paddle on a nearby bay; thrill to a whitewater raft trip where everyone helps paddle — that's a real calorie-burner, and everyone is having such a blast they don't even realize it.
Make a game of it
Long summer days without the routine of school can sometimes be a challenge when it comes to keeping kids occupied and happy. Adding some humor and lighthearted competition diffuses tension, and playing games together can really ramp up the laughter level. By turning exercise into a game, you'll enlist your kids' enthusiasm and quickly increase your own.
Do push-ups with a child on your back, then invite them to match your reps on their own. Have a pull-up contest on a sturdy tree branch with an older child. Challenge each other to a lap swim from shore to dock and back. Grab a Frisbee, paint a bull's-eye onto an old board or piece of cardboard and hold target practice from a challenging distance. Provide everyone in the family a pedometer and give awards for who has taken the most steps at the end of the day.
You can even turn chores into play: Find some disco music to pop into the boom box (or, if you're a hip dad, take your iPod dock outside) and make up dance moves as you wash the car. Teach your teen to make checkerboard stripes while mowing the lawn in alternate directions. Have a contest to see who can pull the most weeds the fastest. Even the most tedious tasks can turn into a fun workout with a little creativity and attitude adjustment.
With all these ideas for activity, you're probably raring to round up the kids and get going. You may also want to know just how effective you'll be at burning calories while you're playing. Find out with this handy calorie-burner chart from the American Council on Exercise. You'll be amazed at how fast you can get fit while having fun with your family!

text: So just weighed in this morning after completing first 3 weeks on new JUDD lifestyle & I'm 7lbs down. Some background....I'm 60yrs young and have struggled with my weight most of my life...mostly I managed to keep it at a comfortable 10st 7lbs - 11st...which was not skinny slim but was not exactly fat either & I was quite fit. However the last 20yrs as my dearest OH says..I managed to diet 'ON' 10 stone ( I must have lost at least 20st during those 20yrs and each time put it back on with a bit extra for good measure LOL..sound familiar??). 2 yrs ago my health started to suffer & my GP put me on Xenical & told me to count calories. It worked..I lost 4 stone...then life got in the way..and slowly back it all came until in July another health scare and I decided something had to be done. I needed to do a 30hrs clear fluids followed by nil by mouth before a medical procedure..and found it quite easy..at the same time people were talking about the Panorama programme..so I started to do some research and came across JUDD....so I started...hopefully with the support on here..this time I can make it. Like many of you I use MFP to log my foods...and have been on there about 2yrs, however calorie counting on its own never lasts with me because I behave for a few weeks then binge on naughties...this plan lets me have them on my UD's...yipee....except that at the moment I don't actually want them and stuggle to meet my calories. I've got great friends on MFP but TBH they make me feel so guilty if i work anything slightly unhealthy into my daily calories!! I cook nearly everything from fresh..but do like to Bake as well.... My JUDD allowances are DD 427 & UD 2102, however the last 3 weeks I've been doing DD Mon/Wed/Fri & achieving around 500. Tues/Thurs around 1600..and SAT/Sun I try to do 1600 +

A gag writer who has fed lines to Jack Paar, Red Buttons, Dick Gregory and Red Skelton and authored 43 "how-to" books for aspiring comedians? Hardly shoo-in credentials for a White House "consultant." But that is the resumé of Robert Orben, 47, who from all reports is ghosting material for President Ford's speeches, like the recent quip that "the Marine Band's so confused they don't know whether to play Hail to the Chief or You've Come a Long Way, Baby." Orben won't confirm authorship of that or any other Ford funnies, explaining that that would jeopardize his position. But Orben, who commutes from New York, admits that "if a touch of humor is needed, likely as not they'll come to me."
TV stars on a publicity tour are freewheelers, especially and, not surprisingly, Ironside. Raymond Burr, hard-nosed headliner of that NBC series, and his sidekick Don Galloway (who plays Sgt. Ed Brown) recently barnstormed through Israel, where the show is so popular in syndication that some kibbutzim have rescheduled their traditional Saturday-night meetings to watch. But the promotion message turned outto be a jeremiad. Burr has already decreed that the upcoming eighth season is the end, and Galloway expressed some qualms even about last year's efforts. "The seventh season of Ironside," he confessed, "has been a veritable crock of garbage."
Jimmy One-Note
James Caesar Petrillo, the trumpet-player who for years was diehard president of the American Federation of Musicians, has, at 82, lost none of his spit and vinegar. A holdout for the rights of live bands against canned music, he was pastured in 1962, then went on to a race-relations post with the Chicago local. But in his heyday Petrillo played duets with Harry Truman, packed a revolver, drove a bulletproof car and was a target of several congressional investigations. During one grilling in 1948, Petrillo recently recalled, a young representative named Richard Nixon vowed "he would put me in jail if it was the last thing he ever did. I told him that if I went, he was going with me." Now, a slightly mellowed militant, Petrillo says he drafted a wire to San Clemente just before the presidential pardon but never sent it. The message: "If you go to jail this time, you'll go by yourself."
As Miss World Turns
For Marjorie Wallace, the 20-year-old Indianapolis beauty who was stripped of the Miss World title when her worldly social life became an embarrassment to the contest's proprietors, the beat goes on—and now with a distinct R&B flavor to it. She had already conquered a wide world of sports, spinning through the arms of pop star Tom Jones, British soccer whiz Georgie Best and deceased race-car ace Peter Revson in one dizzying year. Now, to complete a grand slam unlikely to be equaled, she is reported in dalliance with Berry Gordy, the 44-year-old founder of the rock conglomerate Motown.
Lenny in Love
"I have simply fallen in love with you," said conductor Leonard Bernstein to Margaret Whitlam, wife of Australia's prime minister and hostess of the first TV talk show on which the maestro said he had ever appeared. "I never go on talk programs," he announced on the air. "I'm very proud of that. I am the only human, walking American who has not been on all those nightly talk shows of which we have a plethora." With that prelude, the first lady cooed, "You may call me Maggie." He replied, "Then you may call me Lennie," and added, "this is my deflowering."
Charity Ends at Home
Paul Mathewson of Colorado Springs, who was discharged less than honorably from the army in 1962, sought to restore his good name by re-enlisting under a pseudonym in 1968. Successful completion of this second tour of duty emboldened Mathewson to seek an official upgrading of that original discrediting discharge. The matter was presented to the White House, and several weeks ago Mathewson's attorney, Shephard Kole, received a letter which reads in part: "Since there was no conviction, there is no basis for the granting of a presidential pardon. Therefore, we cannot be of aid to him." Meanwhile, back in San Clemente...

Right to Privacy
Right to Privacy Introduction
In a Nutshell
- The Constitution contains no reference to any "right to privacy"
- However, over more than 100 years, courts have found a fundamental (but somewhat vague) right to privacy implicit in the Constitution
- Many "right to privacy" cases deal with sex, sexuality, or abortion, and are thus quite controversial
The right to privacy is fundamental—almost intuitive—to most Americans, and over the past century, the courts have defined an extensive body of protections for it. Under statutory and common law individuals can sue others for an assortment of personal privacy violations. And within the Constitution, the courts have found a set of rights guaranteeing us the freedom to marry who we want and raise our families as we want, as well as the freedom to make our own child-bearing decisions through ready access to contraceptives and abortions. Over the past century, the courts have concluded that the federal government has an obligation to defend our privacy rights against the states, and they have held that we are entitled to privacy protections wherever we believe we have a "reasonable expectation of privacy."
Americans' privacy rights are broadly defined, but they are also controversial. Privacy violation lawsuits are difficult to win, often because they involve conflicting rights under the law. The constitutional bases for privacy have been challenged by some legal scholars who argue that the Constitution's framers never intended to create such a large or vaguely defined set of protections. This argument reminds us that privacy rights are more heavily dependent on the courts than other rights more expressly defined in the Constitution.

Why Should I Care?
Should the government be able to restrict who you can marry?
Should a person be allowed to use contraceptives?
Should women have access to abortions?
Should parents be permitted to have their child taught a foreign language?
Should school principals be allowed to strip-search students?
Should high school coaches be allowed to drug test their athletes?
The courts have found the answers to these questions in the Bill of Rights. They have found answers here, in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
And here, in the Third Amendment: "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
This clause in the Fourth Amendment has been crucial to the courts in sorting out these questions: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."
This part of the Fifth Amendment has been important to the courts: "nor shall [any person] be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
The Ninth Amendment has also influenced the courts: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
And this clause in the Fourteenth Amendment has been critical: "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
Do you see it? Do you see the right to privacy contained within the Constitution? Can you figure out the logic of the courts in answering questions about marital choice, procreation decisions, and student searches?
Read on and you will.

Dreyfuss has a passion for politics
Politically, Richard Dreyfuss describes himself as "intensely pre-partisan, and even more intensely anti-shmuck."
The 66-year-old Oscar winner almost immediately injects politics into any conversation.
Dreyfuss admits he's even more passionate about politics than he is about acting these days. He still takes roles -- including one in a current TV pilot he won't discuss -- but he doesn't feel the same fire as before.
"I had this urgency to act," he said of his early career. "And then after 50 years, I realized that it had mellowed into a friendship and I didn't have to do it. I love acting. I just don't have to do it."
There's no part he's yearning to play, though he likes the idea of performing Shakespeare on radio.
The actor took a hiatus from Hollywood to study at Oxford and establish his nonprofit Dreyfuss Initiative in 2003 to promote civics education in American schools.
"We're absolutely hypnotized into a state of denial or into the state of, 'I have no power to do anything. I'm powerless.' And that, in fact, is incorrect," he said. "The power lies in the people. No kidding, it really does."
During an appearance at the Turner Classic Movies film festival at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Dreyfuss cited the first U.S. president: "Washington said that the Constitution should always be central and the parties should always be peripheral," he said, "and we have it turned around now."
He also shared memories of working with Steven Spielberg on "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." He talked about working with Audrey Hepburn, doing the voice-over for "Stand By Me" and Neil Simon's "perfect script" for 1977's "The Goodbye Girl," for which Dreyfuss won the lead actor Oscar.
He also talked about the magic of movies.
"No art form has ever swept the world like this one," he said. "Movies reach into your dream state and pull you out and show you that you're alive."
Though he joked in an interview that he continues acting because "it's the only way I know how to make a living," Dreyfuss admitted he's deeply grateful for the opportunity to touch others with his performances.
"Acting is giving a blessing and getting a blessing. You can feel it all over, and when you make people laugh, you do what Shakespeare says: You give surcease from sorrow," he said. "And when you do a drama and you're in the zone, you are telling them: This is life as you know it. ...
"It's an extraordinary thing I got to do my entire life," he continued, "which means I was blessed."

These are so cute!! and comfortable. I brought these for me but I found out that I got the wrong size. That was my fault. Before I gave them to my mom I got a chance to try them on. They were so cute!! My mom said that she really likes them.
These shoes look great and I received many compliments on them. They are easy to put on and they also feel comfortable, and I also love how they look with almost anything. I've worn them out a few times and they're still looking good. The only downside is that I needed soles but that may be becuase my feet are quite small. Still, I'd definitely recommend them.

Maestro™ Addresses Low Data Rates, Latency, Jitter and Link Issues Associated with Fixed Cellular Broadband Service While Offering Highest Carrier-to-Noise Ratio Creating Link Performance, Availability That Meets or Surpasses Service Levels for T1s, MPLS and DSL
IHOP Franchisee Romulus Inc. Validates Impact of Maestro
MIAMI Feb. 1, 2012 –Accel Networks, a leading provider of managed fixed cellular broadband services for business, today announced here — at the 4G Wireless Evolution Conference & Expo — that its newly formed division Accel Technologies is introducing Maestro™, the first smart antenna system for businesses that optimizes wireless performance for both 3G and 4G cellular networks.
Over the past ten years, Accel has perfected wireless network implementation, installation, monitoring and management through proprietary equipment, operational processes and management tools. Enterprise organizations are rapidly moving applications to the cloud, increasing the demand for stable, broadband connectivity that can be deployed faster and at a lower price point than comparable terrestrial broadband. With the advent of 4G service and the last mile optimized by Maestro, wireless can now become the network option of choice.
Maestro addresses the need for better and more cost effective connectivity, tackling issues such as low data rates, latency, jitter and link availability that until now had been viewed as a limitation for enterprise wireless service. The patent-pending, self-optimizing Maestro system includes eight antennas, three switchable filter banks and embedded LNA offering over 500 discreet setting options to generate and maintain the highest carrier-to-noise ratio creating link performance and availability that meets or surpasses service levels for T1s, MPLS and DSL. The performance of the antenna combined with the cloud-based monitoring and management platform adds a new dimension to fixed cellular broadband deployments.
"Fixed wireless broadband is primed for rapid growth and Accel's Maestro is the first antenna system that bridges the gap in quality and performance between wireless and wired broadband," said Mark Gianinni, CEO of Accel. "With 6,000 installations, we have a proven business history that demonstrates our ability to provide exceptional wireless broadband services." Romulus Successfully Testing Maestro
Among the first users of Maestro is IHOP Franchisee Romulus, Inc. According to Bud Morgan, director of technology for Romulus, "We've been testing Maestro at a location where we've had trouble historically. I have been very impressed by the ability of this antenna to automatically optimize signal strength."
"Seventy-one percent of companies are including wireless within their WAN architecture," said Philip Clarke, research analyst, Nemertes Research. "As companies increasingly rely on fixed wireless for mission critical applications, they will evaluate offerings on their ability to guarantee appropriate service levels. Optimizations tailored for fixed wireless can significantly improve radio propagation characteristics, meet exceptional SLA's and result in much-improved customer experiences."
Maestro More Than Just a Smart Antenna
The Maestro value proposition extends beyond installation and optimization and includes a powerful RF link monitoring platform, traffic analytics and remote asset management, all delivered through the secure Maestro Portal. From a single dashboard Maestro enterprise clients can perform the following:
- View the status and quality in real-time of a single link or all multiple site links on a national, regional or statewide basis or by zip code.
- View inbound/outbound traffic statistics in megabytes or connection time for each endpoint as well as define utilization thresholds, generate alerts and avoid overage fees.
- View and manage remote equipment inventory, tracking numbers and asset history.
- When required, re-optimize Maestro on the fly or schedule a re–optimization for non-peak busy time.
In addition to maximizing the performance of fixed cellular broadband deployments, Maestro costs less to install, reduces truck rolls and collapses mean time to restore (MTTR).
Maestro has global applicability and will be available for distribution on March 1. In addition, Maestro is designed for bundling into turnkey applications delivered via cellular broadband without the risk of poor application performance caused by wireless link latency. The Maestro management platform will be offered on a subscription based service with the purchase of the antenna.

It's trailer parks next to McMansions in North Carolina, where the Old South stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the New South. From the ancient mountains in the west to the sandy barrier islands of the Atlantic you'll find a variety of cultures and communities not easy to stereotype.
The state is a patchwork of the progressive and the Stone Age: Asheville was named the 'New Freak Capital of the US' by Rolling Stone, while cohabitation was technically illegal until 2006.
Located in Haywood County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Waynesville is a city rich in history, scenery, and culture and a great place to vacation or raise a family.
Waynesville is the oldest town in Haywood County, and is very close to many exciting outdoor activities. Activities include hiking, rafting, kayaking, world class fly-fishing, and the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.
Waynesville is nestled between the Pisgah National Forest and the Smoky Mountain National Park. Waynesville is also renowned for superb mountain golfing, with several clubs and courses to choose from.
Located approximately 15 miles from Waynesville, in Mason, Kings Island theme park is ideal for the adventurous person. The theme park is filled with stomach-dropping roller coasters and mind blowing thrill rides.
You will enjoy teeing off on some of the most beautiful fairways in Western North Carolina with breathtaking mountain views.
Downtown Waynesville maintains its classic charm, with most of the shops now containing art galleries, restaurants, cafes, and municipal buildings. The Museum of North Carolina Handicrafts is also housed downtown n Waynesville.
A couple blocks from downtown proper is an area called "Frog Level", which also contains a coffee shop, some tradesmen, and artist galleries. This area used to be considered the "seedy" part of town, but is now a quaint eclectic sub-neighborhood of downtown Waynesville.
The Ceaser's Creek Pioneer Village is a living history museum. Located in Waynesville, the museum hosts public events throughout the year on weekends. During this time, the cabins are open and costumed guides take you through various customs and traditions from the life of the pioneers.
You can also enjoy a surprisingly diverse nightlife with dancing, live music from bluegrass to blues, and very active local theater productions. Annually there is the Folkmoot USA festival with attracts entertainers and performers worldwide.
In the past, people would have to drive to nearby Asheville to visit any large retailers or shopping malls. Yet over the last few years Waynesville has seen several large big box retailers move to the area, including Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, and others.
This has been in part to the amount of growth in the area, and these large retailers have been tastefully added to the city so as not to disturb the historic downtown beauty and vibe of the area.
Waynesville real estate is also a hot item. There are a few gated communities in the area, primarily occupied by vacation homes and several permanent residents.
Going a half mile or so out of town you are immediately transported to vintage old rural Western North Carolina, with farms, and large parcels of property with large beautiful Waynesville homes.
The seasonal outdoor flea market is comprised of 159,000 square feet, making it a one-stop-shop for finding items at bargain prices. When you spend a day browsing the booths at the flea market, you'll find items like purses, wallets, clothes and household goods.
The beauty of Waynesville, NC and surrounding Haywood County is unmatched, and has been the backdrop for many novels and movies, including the renowned "Cold Mountain" by James Frazier which was also made into a blockbuster movie starring Joaquin Phoenix and Nicole Kidman.
Nearby is also Deep Creek which is a campground and river rafting Mecca, as well as a gateway to many great hiking trails and backpacking excursions.
If you are someone who enjoy fall colors, Waynesville and Haywood County has some of the most pristine beautiful mountain ranges available for autumn viewing.
You are welcome to come and visit Waynesville, but you may fall in love with it so much you might find yourself checking out Waynesville real estate listings.
If so, that is fine too. There are many great real estate agents available to help you.
Everything about our stay at the Waynesville Inn was wonderful! The staff was very accomodating, and the breakfast was fabulous. Our room was very clean and comfortable And the scenery was breathtaking. If you want a relaxing vacation, the Waynesville Inn fits the bill…Cynthia C, Dalton, Georgia | The Waynesville Inn, Golf Resort & Spa

'Cookie Tour' Kicks Off Goodwill for Sussex County Holidays 2003!
A select group of Sussex County Bed and Breakfasts is hosting the Annual B&B Christmas Cookie Tour, Sunday December 7 from 1PM to 5PM. A self-guided tour takes participants from Inn to Inn. Each of the five inns will be decked out in all their holiday best and will offer their very own special holiday cookies and refreshments. All tour participants will receive a keepsake recipe at each Inn they visit.
Participating Inns are: Whistling Swan Inn, Stanhope; Brick Farm House, Sparta; Wooden Duck, Andover; Alpine Haus, Vernon and Apple Valley Inn, Glenwood.
At the Whistling Swan Inn, there are some extra surprises in store. The tour hostesses will be dressed in Victorian garb. Each guest that visits will have an opportunity to win a one-night stay at the Inn, dinner for two at one of four area restaurants and a cooking class at the Inn in January. In addition, the first 25 guests will receive a holiday memento from the Whistling Swan Inn.
All proceeds from the tour will be donated to Sussex County Interfaith Hospitality Network, a non-profit interfaith ministry. SCINH is an alternative to traditional shelters because overnight lodging is provided in 'host' congregations for one to two weeks at a time until families are able to move into their own homes. Fourteen local congregations take turns hosting the families on a rotating basis. Volunteers cook and share meals with guest families and provide companionship and support while professional staff provide case management.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at any of the participating Bed and Breakfast Inns either in advance or at the door. For more information or tickets, call Liz at the Whistling Swan Inn 973-347-6369 or visit www.whistlingswaninn.com or contact Anne Murphy at Sussex County Interfaith Hospitality Network, 973-579-1180.
