The 49ers special teams have put on a weekly clinic under new coordinator Brad Seely, so much so that other teams use the 49ers' film as instructional video.
Well, at least one team does: the Cleveland Browns. This week's opponent employed Seely in the same capacity the previous two seasons and now will face him and his 49ers' units Sunday at Candlestick Park.
"It was instilled in the guys how important (special teams) is to the football team, and his attention to detail was just on point," Josh Cribbs, the Browns' explosive returner, said of Seely. "Even from their film now, we can look at the San Fran team and coach ourselves off them, because Seely is such a great coach."
Seely doesn't just oversee a top-notch special teams unit. He doubles as the 49ers' "assistant head coach" to Jim Harbaugh, who constantly seeks Seely's input on and off the field.
"He might ask me a question about what he feels in that specific situation," Seeley said. "For the most part, it's going with the field (position) and clock management."
That was the case at Detroit on Oct. 16, when Seely and Harbaugh conversed before a drive that produced a go-ahead field goal at the end of the first half.
"Phenomenal football coach, great teacher, technician all the way around," Harbaugh said of Seely. "Oh yeah, (I'm) leaning on him, like Abraham leaning on his staff. ... There's so many times that I just go into his office and pull up a chair and we talk."
The top-notch results aren't surprising from a veteran cast of Pro Bowlers including kicker David Akers, punter Andy Lee and long snapper Brian Jennings. That unit is further bolstered by Ted Ginn Jr.'s returns, newcomer Blake Costanzo's fiery demeanor and Seely's overall expertise.
Next up are the Browns (3-3) and Cribbs, whose eight career kickoff returns for touchdowns are the most in NFL history. Cribbs also has two punt returns for touchdowns, including a 76-yard effort in the 2007 season finale against the 49ers.
None of Lee's punts since (294 to date) have yielded a touchdown return. Thanks to his coverage unit and Seely's request for "directional" punts, Lee is tied for the league lead with a net average of 44.4 yards per punt.
"There are five guys that are very dangerous, and he's in that top five," Lee said of Cribbs, who hasn't scored a touchdown on either a kickoff or punt return since 2009.
Added Seely: "If you're going to tackle this guy, it's got to be more than one guy. He runs through one guy."
Seely has three Super Bowl rings from his tenure as the New England Patriots' special teams coach from 1999-2008. Like that Patriots' dynasty, attention to detail and a team-oriented approach are commonplace on this 49ers squad.
"You have to subvert your singular wants for the good of the team," Seely added. "That's what special teams are. For the most part, guys aren't going to get much credit for what they're doing out there. It's the dirty jobs."
Forgive Crabtree if he wasn't as inspired. He is a Rangers fan. "It sounded like (Harbaugh) was on St. Louis' side," Crabtree said in deadpan fashion. "I understand the point he was trying to make. But it's kind of hard."

On Thursday, a group of Inland Empire water agencies notified the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that they will appeal the Oct. 23 decision by Judge James V. Seina, which they say will interfere with water allocation, water use and recharge efforts along the Santa Ana River.
An attorney for the group called Seina's decision "nearly all wrong."
Ileene Anderson, biologist with the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity, said that survival of the small, algae-eating fish has been threatened by the Seven Oaks Dam and other developments along the Santa Ana River.
The expanded habitat is necessary to provide the gravel for the egg-hatching of the fish species, Anderson said Friday in a telephone interview from her Los Angeles office.
The fish species has evolved to survive very well "in boom and bust flood situations" but its survival is now in jeopardy through the interruption of the natural water flow in the Santa Ana River, she said.

This Devon Energy acquisition argues for owning Cheniere and Chesapeake in U.S. shale boom
The deal that Devon Energy (DVN) announced on Wednesday, November 20, isn't a bad deal, but I think it's big value for investors is what it says about where the profits are or aren't in the U.S. natural gas and oil from shale boom.
Since 2009 Devon has transformed itself from an oil producer with a big presence in deep water and international discoveries into a producer with a major onshore natural gas and oil shale position in the United States and Canada through $9 billion in asset sales—and through acquisitions like that it announced last week. The company will acquire privately held GeoSouthern Energy for $6 billion in cash. GeoSouthern's assets include 82,000 net acres in the very hot Eagle Ford geology. Those acres produce 53,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day and contain an estimated 400 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable reserves.
In terms of rounding out Devon's production profile this is a smart deal—Devon has acquired low risk drilling opportunities—an inventory of about 6 years of drilling inventory—that, according to company projections will show a 25% compound annual production growth rate through 2017.
But the take away lesson here for investors is how efficient the market has become at pricing in acquisitions in the U.S. natural gas and oil shale boom. Credit Suisse calculated on November 21, the day after the deal was reported, that the acquisition would add about $3 a share to Devon's market value. By the close on November 22, Devon's shares had tacked on $2.78 from the November 18 closing price.
In other words the market had priced in the deal, according to Credit Suisse's calculations at least, within days of its public announcement.
This doesn't mean that the Devon acquisition doesn't make solid sense or that Devon isn't a good stock—Credit Suisse calculated a one-year target price of $77 a share.
It does say that the U.S. natural gas and shale boom isn't undiscovered territory anymore. Read more
The oil world turned upside down–and how to invest in the rise of the U.S. to top global producer by 2017
Five years ago I never imagined I'd type these words.
By 2017 the United States will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer.
In addition, according to the International Energy Agency, by 2015 the United States will overtake Russia to become the world's largest natural gas producer.
The United States is now the fastest-growing oil and natural gas producer in the world. During the last five years, according to Citigroup, the United States has added 2.59 million barrels a day to total production.
You'd think there's an investable angle there somewhere.
I can think of two. No make that three.
First, there are the stocks of the companies that are responsible for this huge surge in U.S. production.
Second, there are the stocks of the companies that will make money from solving the current bottleneck in getting this supply to market.
Third, there are the sectors in the U.S. economy that will reap benefits from lower U.S. energy prices beyond the general advantage flowing to the U.S. economy from lower energy costs.
Let me start with the general picture and then move to individual sectors and trends. Read more
ExxonMobil buys U.S. natural gas for $31 billion–I told you this was a big trend
ExxonMobil (XOM) will buy XTO Energy (XTO) for $31 billion in stock. (ExxonMobil will also assume $10 billion in XTO Energy debt.)
This acquisition is just the latest example of a shift among the international energy majors from exploration and development for oil in risky new geologies and tough climates to a concentration on predictable, low-production cost assets such as onshore U.S. reserves of natural gas locked up in shale formations such as the Barnett shale formation of Texas.
I flagged that trend for you in two posts earlier this month. You'll find links to those columns later in this post. Read more
The return of the oil shortage–around 2015–and why the industry's logical decisions now will make it worse
Devonshire Energy's decision to sell its expensive to develop deepwater assets in the Gulf of Mexico in order to concentrate on its onshore natural gas reserves makes perfect sense.
For that company.
For the oil industry and for the global economy picture, though, could make the predicted energy crisis of 2015 or so much worse.
In the short-term, there's plenty of oil. The slowdown in the global economy and the addition of new supplies from countries such as Angola assures that. OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) has a sizable surplus of production capacity.
In the long-term the story is very, very different. In the long-term, say 2030, oil could be in serious shortage again. And I think the likely effects of that shortage now 20 years off will be felt much sooner thanks to perfectly reasonable decisions by individual oil companies to maximize their profits. Maybe as soon as 2015.
If you are a genuinely long-term investor I've got a three stocks to suggest at the end of this post for how to profit from what is admittedly a very distant trend. Even if you're not interested in putting money to work on prospects that are so far away, I think knowing about this trend will give you potentially profitable context for all your investments.

Sell ExxonMobil (XOM)
When I added ExxonMobil (XOM) to Jubak's Picks on December 23, 2008, I thought it was a reasonable way to balance risk and reward. The stock was a good way to reach for some upside return in case the global economy—and oil prices—rebounded more quickly than I expected in 2009, while at the same time using ExxonMobil's dividend to give me some protection against the risk that oil prices would tumble further.
For much of 2009 the stock lagged the market but I was content to collect my dividend while waiting for shares to get moving.
But recently ExxonMobil has also started to lag the rest of the energy sector. For example, the gain on ExxonMobil since my December 23 purchase until September 16 is a loss of 7.18% (excluding dividends). Devon Energy (DVN), a stock without the downside protection of an ExxonMobil, is up 14% in that period. Almost all of Devon Energy's outperformance has come since August 1. Read more

'Supernatural'The CW
'Supernatural' returns to haunt Comic-Con
The show's producers and supporting cast packed a room to share secrets about the upcoming seasonPosted Jul 26, 2009 8:16 PM By Tamara Brooks
If there is ever any doubt about the popularity of "Supernatural" one should only look to the lengthy, serpentine line of people waiting to get in to see Sunday's (July 26) Comic-Con panel. The packed room greeted Eric Kripke, Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund, and stars Misha Collins ("Castiel") and Jim Beaver ("Bobby") with a roar of applause and wooooooos.
Last year drove the Brothers Winchester apart but this season will be about bringing them together. Kripke calls it the most optomistic since it's driving towards the good guys winning for a change.
"It's the Party Apocalypse," asks moderator Mo Ryan.
"Because of our budget restraints we're calling it 'The Walmart Apocalypse," retorts Eric.
Misha says Castiel will have lost some of his angel mojo and has a very ambitious mission next season that he refused to say. Eric adds that he'll be cut off from heaven and in "full rebellion mode." He'll have to learn to become human in some way.
A log line for Episode 3: "Dean takes Cas to a Whorehouse."
Yes, that's exactly what Kripke said.
Kripke says the end-game of Ruby driving a wedge between the brothers and leading Sam to the dark side was the intention from day one. When the fans would say "Why are they trying to make her likable?" they'd all just kind of snicker.
Gamble said Season 4 tended to be "suicidally dark" but Season 5 is very funny at times. Edlund follows up with this metaphor: Each episode is in line waiting to be hung. "Every week you hear 'CRACK!' and you're waiting and then Episode 7's in front of you and he's pissing his pants but the guy behind you just made a joke and it's really funny."
The fourth episode, written by Ben Edlund, plays with the concept of destiny by making a five-year jump into the future.
Mark Pelligrino, new to the cast as Lucifer, will appear sparingly because "having the bad guy lose every week" diminishes how formidable he appears. Pelligrino was originally in the running to play Castiel and was offered this role sans audition.
Kripke says the return of Papa Winchester is welcomed on both sides but dependent on scheduling logistics and the "people who wear suits" since Jeffrey Dean Morgan is such a big star now.
The number of Classic Rock tracks have gone down because they had to cut the music budget to deliver on the big scripts they were writing.
"Castiel" will be going on a hunting mission with the Winchesters.
One audience member said, prior to his question, "It's nice to see Bobby back from his vacation on 'Harper's Island.'"
There will be more Chuck the Prophet and meta-episodes. Meg, Ellen, will also return as will Adrienne Palicki as Sam's dead girlfriend, Jessica.
When pressed for futher information, Kripke said, "This time it's personal?" Interpret that as you will.
If there are still stories to tell after Season 5, Kripke would be all for it but they've only gotten through six episodes so far and can't look that far into the future. However, they will not sacrifice the storytelling or water down the storyline to just to get a Season 6 out of it. The Lucifer Saga will be wrapped up.
As has been the tradition at Comic-Con, the panel closed out with a peek at the gag reel that'll be on the "Supernatural" Season 4 DVD set to the delight of the crowd.
"Supernatural" returns this fall on The CW.

Delhi in the summer of 1992 was hot and dusty like always. The searing heat had not yet given way to the cool lashes of the monsoon rain, which had just hit the country's southern coasts.
On one particularly hot day, Lajpat Nagar, the city's vibrant and noisy traders' enclave, with its winding bylanes crowded with families looking for bargains and brightly lit shops, wore a festive look. Balconies of houses, piled on top of each other, were full of people, craning their necks expectantly. All around, the Congress flags and huge cutouts of Rajesh Khanna were visible.

Because they both came out on the same day, the side-by-side comparison between "Deadpool" #21 and "Prelude to Deadpool Corps" #4 illuminates some problems with the main Deadpool series. While Victor Gischler overstuffs his comic with jokes and gags and manic energy, Daniel Way plays things a bit slower here. It's still a Deadpool comic. It's still an irreverent and often nonsensical view of the Marvel Universe. But it's one that features less gags-per-page than its Corpsian counterpart.
And that's the problem with "Deadpool" #21. That and Hit-Monkey.
The frenetic pace of "Prelude to Deadpool Corps" probably would become just white noise and annoying chatter after a while if it were extended into an ongoing series. If this "Deadpool" comic employed such pacing and laugh-a-minute absurdity, it would probably grow tiresome. But when this single issue is placed next to Gischler's issue, this one doesn't seem as strong. It reads like lesser Deadpool. Watered-down. Less energetic, less funny, yet still as insubstantial.
The plot of this issue goes like this: Hit-Monkey (the hitman who's literally a monkey!) has been after Deadpool because that's what Hit-Monkey has been hired to do -- assassinate other assassins. Deadpool can't get the best of the little hairy guy, so he does what any right-thinking schizophrenic maniac Loony Tunes superhero would do: he pretends to be Spider-Man and then he pretends to be dead and then he changes into his Deadpool costume and hides inside the coffin while waiting for the guilt-striken Hit-Money to show up so Deadpool can pop out and blast him.
Because Hit-Monkey would be sad that Spider-Man accidentally died in the crossfire.
And because this comic doesn't even try to make any sense.
It's not all that funny either. But at least it's more J. Scott Campbell-influenced artwork (this time from Carlo Barberi) just like the "Deadpool Corps" prelude. So I guess that's good.
This issue also ends with a lesson learned, and a bit of insight into Deadpool's character on the final page. If that's what you're looking for. But like most everything else about this issue, it falls a little short. It's not enough.

Fetus to Mom: You're Stressing Me Out! (cont.)
But researchers, including Hobel, are getting closer to unlocking the mystery.
For one thing, a growing number of studies are confirming what used to be considered just an old wives' tale -- that stress really isn't good for pregnant women. It not only increases the risk of pre-term labor, but possibly a host of other problems for babies after birth.
Even more important -- and clearly more difficult to discern -- researchers are close to being able to predict who's most susceptible to stress and at highest risk for complications, such as pre-term birth. In fact, some say it won't be long before health-care providers have the tools to head off these problems before it's too late.
"Stress is a silent disease," says Dr. Hobel, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Cedars Sinai and a professor of obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "Pregnant women need to be educated in recognizing when they have stress, the consequences and some of the simple things they can do to make a difference."
Throw Out the 'Blueprint'
Developmental biologists once thought fetuses were conceived with a "blueprint" from their parents' genes. As long as you gave the growing fetus the right nutrients and avoided harmful substances, this blueprint would develop into a healthy baby. That's not what experts believe anymore, says Dr. Pathik Wadhwa, assistant professor of behavioral science, obstetrics and gynecology at University of Kentucky College of Medicine.
"This view has more or less been completely turned upside down," says Dr. Wadhwa, who is co-editing a special issue of scientific papers on pregnancy and stress to be published in Health Psychology next year. "At each stage of development, the organism uses cues from its environment to decide how best to construct itself within the parameters of its genes."
Stress is an example of how a fetus responds to stimuli in the womb and adapts physiologically. "When the mother is stressed, several biological changes occur, including elevation of stress hormones and increased likelihood of intrauterine infection," Dr. Wadhwa says. "The fetus builds itself permanently to deal with this kind of high-stress environment, and once it's born may be at greater risk for a whole bunch of stress-related pathologies."
Pre-term births and low birth weight are among the most recognized effects of maternal stress during pregnancy, established over nearly two decades of animal and human research. Recent studies by Dr. Wadhwa and colleagues suggest that women who experience high levels of psychological stress are significantly more likely to deliver pre-term. Typically, one in 10 women delivers pre-term (before 37 weeks).
Pre-term babies are susceptible to a range of complications later, including chronic lung disease, developmental delays, learning disorders and infant mortality. There's even compelling evidence from epidemiological studies and animal research that babies who experience stress in utero are more likely to develop chronic health problems as adults, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Continuing Your Education in Smart Classrooms!
This fall the Seminary opened its new Erdman Hall Conference Center, a high-tech companion building to the Erdman Hall guest rooms and offices that debuted a year ago at the Center of Continuing Education.
The classroom, named the Jack Cooper Conference Room in honor of PTSs first director of continuing education, seats sixty people at desks with individual connections to the Internet and connections for laptops, and has a rear-screen projection system, a touch screen that controls lighting, and audio/video conferencing capabilities. The desk lectern from which leaders speak and control powerpoint and web presentations is fitted for leaders with disabilities.
Joyce C. Tucker, dean of continuing education, hopes the conference center will highlight hospitality. Both Jack Cooper and Dolores Bedford Clarke [an alumna in the Class of 1990 who lived in Erdman Hall when it was a dorm and for whom the new lounge is named] personify the gift of hospitality, Tucker says. We want all of our guests to learn here, but also to rest and to be renewed.
The facility, which also houses two handicap-accessible bathrooms, was designed by the architectural firm Ewing Cole Cherry Brott.

Empowering Women Globally
From the article:
"We know that empowering women globally – including farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, women de-miners in Sri Lanka, a legislator in Afghanistan, or a recent college graduate protesting in Tahrir Square in Egypt – is one of the surest ways to create favorable outcomes in poverty alleviation, economic growth, and a country's general prosperity," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs Esther Brimmer recently told students at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. "In fact, we know that as women progress, everyone in society benefits, including men and boys."
When you look at the breadth of challenges facing women and girls globally – including the lack of education and basic literacy skills, sexual and gender-based violence, rampant discrimination, the lack of economic opportunities and political participation, it is clear that working together with other governments, specialized United Nations' agencies, and private partners including non-governmental organizations, academia, and foundations will multiply the impact - reaching more women and girls in more meaningful ways than if the United States acted alone. "It is because of the power of these partnerships that we have been at the fore-front of bringing together diverse groups of governments, foundations, and corporations [to empower women,]" Assistant Secretary Brimmer said.
The United States has also focused on the number of women holding leadership positions. "We know there has been progress on this front; year after year we see more women entering government and taking on senior positions, including heads of state, yet the road forward has at times been rocky and the numbers disproportionate given that women make half of the global population," Assistant Secretary Brimmer continued. "When women are not serving in governments, when their voice and experience are muted, when they are not at the negotiating table, their absence has direct impact on society, on peace and security, on strengthening democracy in the communities, nations and world in which we live."

MARIETTA - The towboat W.P. Snyder Jr. was welcomed home by area residents this past weekend only to learn the historic vessel may be leaving Marietta again for more work after it was awarded a $736,000 grant.
The 92-year-old boat arrived back at Marietta on Friday after undergoing a 10-month, $1.4 million renovation.
A new hull and paddle wheel were installed on the Snyder as a part of that project. The new work would focus on making improvements above the waterline on the boat, according to museum officials.

"She's looking pretty weather-worn and really needs a lot of work," said Kim Schuette, spokeswoman for the Ohio Historical Society, who oversees the local Ohio River Museum where the boat is kept as part of a permanent display. "The goal is to get the Snyder into ship-shape for the public to visit and tour."
The grant announcement was made Saturday during a welcome-home celebration for the boat at the river museum on Front Street in Marietta. Ohio First Lady Frances Strickland announced the grant award, which is being funded through the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Fundraising for the last project took several years, with the money ultimately coming from private donations, a state appropriation and a grant from the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures program.

The 92-year-old W.P. Snyder Jr. arrived in Marietta Friday after a 10-month, $1.4 million renovation.
"The work we just had done was the major surgery, and was money well spent," said Jeff Spears, president of the Sons & Daughters of the Pioneer Rivermen. "The second phase will not take nearly as long, but much of the work will have to be done out-of-town."
The restoration project will focus on the boat's superstructure and include the replacement of its electrical system, Spears said. Additionally, the crew quarters of the boat will be restored to show what the boat looked like when it was last used as a towboat in 1955. The Snyder was built in 1918 and towed barges loaded with coal, iron and steel along the Ohio River and its tributaries.
In 1955, the Crucible Steel Company of America donated the boat to the Ohio Historical Society, after a request by the Pioneer Rivermen. The boat arrived in Marietta in September of that year, which was the last time it operated under its own power, according to the historical society.
The vessel is the only remaining steam-powered sternwheeled towboat still afloat, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
A local match of $222,000 will still need to be raised in order for the new grant to come though. Also, the Ohio Historical Society is seeking an additional $245,000 to fund an endowment for ongoing maintenance of the Snyder.
Schuette said a fundraising campaign will begin in the coming months to cover the cost of the local match. She said the group is hoping to raise nearly double the local match to start the endowment fund to cover ongoing maintenance of the boat.
"Boats require a lot of maintenance, especially one as old as her," Schuette said.

Boards of the mobile giants agreed to a $39 billion deal, announced Sunday, according to TechFlash reporter Greg Lamm: The purchase, still subject to approval by regulatory boards, would create the largest mobile phone company in theU.S. If the deal closes, it would combine the nation's second- and fourth-largest wireless carriers, creating a company with nearly 130 million subscribers, and could lead to higher rates for consumers, experts said.

Along with sushi, Kitamura's menu also features some traditional recipes that use Japanese fish. "Consistency in availability is very important because you have a menu and you have to keep certain items on the menu," Kitamura says. Kitamura is also worried about the safety of the seafood he imports. South Korea, Singapore and other Asian countries are already testing Japanese food imports for radiation.

Logica, the IT services group, pledged to raise sharply its pay-outs to shareholders and reassured nervous investors that revenue from its UK public sector services business would not fall heavily in the face of spending cuts.
Shares in the group rose 7p to 116½p after it reported first-half results and said it would increase the proportion of earnings that it pays as dividends from 28 per cent last year to at least 40 per cent by 2012. It raised its first-half pay-out 90 per cent to 1.9p.
Andy Green, chief executive, said: "We've got great cash flows and if we'd continued as we were, we'd have been debt free by 2012. We wanted to reward shareholders."
Revenues fell 1 per cent to £1.87bn ($2.98bn) as strength in its consulting business offset weakness in the UK, Belgian and Dutch subsidiaries.
"It shows how balanced the business is," said Mr Green. "As one thing goes down, another goes up. It's important in the way that we run the business."
Pre-tax profit rose from £24.2m to £86m as a £44m exceptional charge taken in 2009 was not repeated. Earnings per share jumped from 1.3p to 4.3p
Investors were reassured that Logica retained its guidance of a modest improvement in revenue and profits in the second half. Markets had in particular been worried that the group could be badly hit by UK public sector spending cuts.
Revenues at the UK business fell 3 per cent to £367m but Logica said second-half revenues would be at a similar level following new contract wins with the Ministry of Defence and Ofcom.
● FT Comment
Large dividend rises are usually warmly welcomed by shareholders but can cause disquiet among technology investors, who prefer to see cash spent on ensuring rapid growth. Logica is not quite the high-growth story that other tech companies such as Arm and Autonomy are – due largely to the presence of a lower-margin consulting business – but neither is it entirely devoid of growth prospects. Overall, Logica is expecting 2010 to be little different to 2009, with analysts forecasting that the company will generate profits of £160m from revenues of £3.6bn. Estimates for 2011 suggest improved margins compensating for another year of limited growth. On a prospective 2010 price/earnings ratio of about 9, the shares trade in line with rivals. The dividend will be attractive but better returns can be found elsewhere in the sector.

The WebMD Healthy You Challenge: Two Mom Makeovers
Four Kids and a Sweet Tooth continued...
The life coach's advice
Heidi, it seems that you get really distracted fighting fires and become too busy to take care of yourself. Your big challenges are both planning and saying no. Like running out of groceries -- you know you have four kids and how much they consume. How often is that happening? Is it because you haven't put your life on a schedule where you're able to anticipate what's needed, so that the things that are important to you can have some place in those priorities as well?
First, let's try to create some structure around your job, which is being a great mom. You need to be a good boss for yourself and manage your performance. Sit down and outline your job description as a wife and mom, your duties in that job, and then your "human responsibilities." Plan all those things into your weekly schedule -- and don't forget to add the gym, some reading time, and a non–work-related date.
Then, for anything that's not a part of that plan, begin a practice of pausing before saying yes to it.
If something falls outside your core, planned, weekly routine, you have to say, "Let me get back to you." That creation of space before you say yes to something is really important: It gives you a moment to ask yourself, "Is this really the best way for me to be using my time?"
Help! I'm Starving for Me-Time
Polly Johnston, 33, Springfield, Va., grade-school teacher and mother of two young children, ages 4 and 2. Polly is 5'7" and weighs 220 pounds.
What do I want to change about my life? Where do I start? My schedule is crazy. I'm up at 6:30 to get the kids going, drop them off at preschool, and I'm at work by 8:10. I pick the kids up at 6 p.m., then we go home, do dinner and bedtime routines, and after that I work until 11 p.m. on lesson plans. The weekends are a little better -- my husband takes the kids in the morning and lets me sleep in.

YORK HARBOR, Maine — Robert W. Britton of Naples, Fla., and York Harbor, beloved husband of the late Eleanor Britton and loving father, died peacefully at his home on Thursday, March 20, 2014, surrounded by his family.
Born Aug. 3, 1924, to Mary T. and William L. Britton, he grew up in Medford, Mass., joined the Navy and served during World War II aboard the USS LST-287. After the war he returned home to York Harbor, where he met his bride.
Bob and Ellie raised their three children in Winchester, Mass., as he rose to the ranks of vice president of international operations at Gillette. Their devoted children, Dr. Linda Britton of Atlanta, Gail Britton of New York City and York Harbor, and William (Bill) Britton of York, will miss them both beyond words.
Bob and Eleanor traveled extensively. They were avid tennis players together and Bob an avid golfer, giving Ellie her much-needed respite. He loved Naples, where they spent winter months, and York Harbor most of all. Bob's mother bought a home in York in the 1930s and one of his first jobs as a teen was working in the Lancaster Theatre.
In addition to his children, Bob leaves five adoring grandchildren, Zachary Knight, Adam and Robbie Baker, Jackson and Chloe Britton; a daughter-in-law, Dede Britton; and two sons-in-law, Peter Knight and Patrick Baker. His granddaughter, Bonnie, who was the light of his life, died in 1998.
Those who knew Bob will miss his dry sense of humor and his cryptic one-liners, his work ethic and commitment to family.
A graveside service for Bob will be held for family later in the spring. The family wishes to thank Bob's wonderful caregivers, who were inspirational in their devotion to Bob and the family over the past several months. Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York, Maine, is directing arrangements, www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Maine Children's Cancer Program.

Newbiw needs help with training program
Hi People,
My name is John and I am 22 yrs old. I live in England, UK. I am not new to weight training but I am new to this site. I am probably an intermediary in the weight training area. I have been training on and off for a few years and havent really got the kind of gains I would like possibly because I never am in a training program long enough to feel the gains. However my ambition to be stronger has changed since I now play Football (what in America is known as soccer) weekly for a local club at the university and I will start training martial arts soon as well.
Anyway here is my problem. About a few months ago a friend of mine, who does 100 metre sprints, convinced me to join the gym with him and support each other. Sounded like a good idea at the time so I signed up. It costs an arm and a leg but at the time I had lots of money from my previous job so I had a decent amount of reserved cash I could use until I went to University. So we signed up and my buddy got the trainer at the gym to set up a program for us. I am not sure what kind of program this is so I researched it and the closest thing I could find to it was Periodization. I have uploaded a link that you can go to and download to show you how the program. The file was too big to put here so I uploaded it else where. Hopefully you can tell me what kind of program this is.
Here is the link:
The program was good but I noticed that when I play football on some days I felt stronger and on other days I felt weak. I think when my friend told the trainer about the kind of sport he did the trainer thought this would suit him best. He didnt tell the guy about what I did. This program may be good for a runner like my friend who can use periodization through the autumn, winter, spring months then when summer hits he can compete.
Ok so about a week ago I moved to university. I live by myself and for the first time I am paying rent without the help of my parents. I also have a job. I have also applied to play for the university football club and need to prove myself before I can become a regular player. I tried to join at the local gym but the cost is just way too HIGH. I mean its hard enough to pay rent let alone pay that kind of money to a gym. Also I would never be able work, study and go to the gym. Too time consuming.
Now I do have equipment that I borrowed off one of my friends. He gave to me because he didnt want it anymore. Here is the equipment:
1) Bench for bench press with the barbell
2) A set of dumb bells with all the weights
3) Chin up Bar
4) Push up handles
Ok the problem is as you can see I have limited equipment and I have having problems coming up with enough exercises for each muscle. I mean good athletes or advanced weight trainings do like 3-4 exercises per muscle group.
Can you people help me with this please?
And also should I carry on using this program from my friend or do I change it up a little for when the season starts? I feel I need a program that is consistent

With that you can do the main exercises;Bench press, deadlift, squat,and shoulder presses, also raises, shrugs, and Pullups,
You didn't say how much weight came with the set.
Also make sure your diet is in check. I know living alone and paying rent is hard, so the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of money on food. But it is the most important thing!

thanks for the reply. I didn't think I was going to get one LOL.
Ok so in terms of how much weight I have. It is
i)four 5kg discs
ii)four 2.5kg discs
iii)six 1.25kg discs
iv)and six 0.5 discs
Now I can imagine to some of you that is very little weight but I will have to make due with this till I can afford to get more weight. The many working at the previous gym promised me that I can have some of the old discs when his new equipment arrives. That is sex 10kg discs.

'Orange Is the New Black' Season 2, Episode 6, 'You Also Have a Pizza': TV Recap
It's Valentine's Day and the inmates are preparing for a party and sharing their thoughts on love. The Spanish Ladies bake frosted heart-shaped cookies and order Bennett to start smuggling contraband in his prosthetic leg or they'll blab about Daya's pregnancy. Nicky and Big Boo continue their "bang-off" contest to see who can rack up more sexual conquests. The race war continues to escalate.
Yep, love is in the air.
Fischer, the kindly, conflict-averse young female guard continues to be set up for a fall of some sort. "It must be really hard being locked up on Valentine's Day," she says, trying to empathize with the Spanish Ladies as they bake. They hand her a cookie. It's shaped like a male's genitalia. Just then, another guard walks by and instead of yelling inmates she stuffs the entire cookie in her mouth, practically choking on it. The Spanish Ladies laugh.
Taystee hesitates to take her new Vee-approved position in custodial and leave her job in the library, where she gets to spend her days reading books and being hilarious with Poussey. Of course, Evil Vee manipulates Taystee into feeling like she owes her a favor and has her best interests in mind (though it's clear that Vee has much to do with Taystee's incarceration her best friend's death).
Flashbacks this time focus on Poussey, one of Litchfield's most likable. A couple surprises here, the main one being that she speaks fluent German. She grew in a military family moving from base to base. Living in Germany as a teenager she fell in love with a senior officer's daughter. Very racy love scenes between the two of them ensue.
One day the German girl's father, a senior officer walks in on the two of them. He's angry. Later, Poussey tries to pretend she doesn't have feelings for the girl, who she's already professed her love to. The girl's father has Poussey's father transferred to a base back in the U.S. Poussey flips and confronts him with a gun behind her back. Her father grabs her before the gun is revealed.
Back in Litchfield, Larry visits Piper. He wants her to be his prison mole for an investigative story he's working on about Litchfield. Piper calls him a moon, apparently implying that she is the sun and he needs to get his own "light," and stop glomming onto her life for story material. "At least people can walk on the moon. People get near the sun and burn right up," he snaps back.
Red and the Golden Girls are still working away in the Greenhouse. But we find out what Red's really up to: using a drainage gate underneath as a smuggling tunnel so her son can bring her contraband. He hoists a duffel bag out of the hole, and throughout the episode we see Red passing out goodies like lip gloss and Skittles to other inmates. This is her power play to get back on top.
Fischer, the rookie guard, starts listening in to inmate phone calls. Caputo sort of asks her on a date to come see his band play at a local bar. That's right, Side Boob is BACK! And once again a key plot point.
Piper, despite her initial protests, starts questioning inmates and guards about a gym that was funded but never built. Healy gets wind of this. Piper thinks of a good ruse: she wants to start a prison newsletter. Healy, feeling suddenly bummed that inmates don't like him, decides to let her do it.
Pouseey, the best friend ever, threatens Vee over the Taystee situation. Taystee, miserable in her new job in maintenance, tells Vee she's angry at her too. Finally, Vee reveals what she's up to. She's going to get shipments of contraband through the maintenance department, including one she opens that is filled with tobacco. Just like the good old days.
Leanne, the blonde girl with greasy long hair and meth mouth who used to be Pennsatucky's assistant of sorts, rebels against her. She tells her she's been lording over the group like Hillary Clinton, and then somewhat officially declares herself the new white-girl alpha when she demands that Angie get her some punch at the party. Pennsatucky is officially a lone wolf now, isolated from the rest of the whites and druggies.
At the Side Boob gig, Fischer shows up – but with a motley crew of other off-duty prison staffers. Caputo is sad. He arranged for her to have the night off so they could have a date, in his mind. Instead, the other guards rib and tease him about his musical hobby. "You look like a gay Edge," says someone. Ah, Valentine's Day.
Larry, annoyed at Piper after their fight during his visit, kisses her best friend Polly, the married new mother of a newborn. Her husband narrowly misses seeing this happen, and then insists that Larry join them on their date that night. All very awkward.
Point update on the bang-off: Nicky and Big Boo are both tied at 36. Eventually, they decide to call it a tie. They're both exhausted and really hitting the bottom of the barrel sex-partner options wise. It was fun while it lasted.
Bennett and Daya slip away to have sex in his office during the Valentine's Day Party. The white girls line-dance to country western while the black girls dance to hip-hop. We're obviously being reminded of the racial divide that's deepening here, mainly at Vee's prompting. An elderly inmate who appears to suffer from dementia slips away while Bennett is gone, wandering into the yard and then somehow all the way to the Side Boob gig. I guess she's a fangirl too?
Other Valentine's Day-theme things that happened: Piper gets a card from Alex, doesn't open it. Healy tries to patch things up with his mail-order bride, leaving a sweet voicemail. Crazy Eyes finds Lorna's fiancé/stalking-victim's wedding invitation. They share a long hug that makes me think maybe there's something happening between them. (Can two stalker-types fall in love with each other? I hope nature allows it.) Daya gets a card she thinks is from Bennet, but is actually from Mendez, aka Pornstache, aka the worst character on the show. Looks like he'll be back later this season.

One of the busiest shopping days brings out a lot of traffic...and a lot of bad driving.
We're all under so much pressure this time of year.
Manners seem to go right out the window on Black Friday. Drivers are cutting people off, blocking traffic, and doing just about anything to get the best spot, which can make parking lots a holiday nightmare.
We saw a pickup truck get stuck in the mud trying to make a u-turn when there wasn't enough space. The truck ended up blocking traffic.
Driving like this makes hitting the stores a scary experience for Tracey Goss.
"A lot of horn honking, a lot of impatient people, keeps you on your toes!" she said.
Two drivers got tired of waiting and decided to block traffic. This is especially dangerous when people cut across the parking lot from different directions, making it hard for shoppers like Heidi Bond to hit the stores.
"It took us about ten minutes to find a space!" she said.
Not everyone is that patient. Some will pull right out in front of you. Some run red lights. That's the type of driving Phyllis Keener spent the morning trying to avoid.
"We've been here since 6:30," she said. "I don't know why we're here!"
Phyllis is always the passenger on Black Friday because of inconsiderate driving.
We saw a car trying to catch an arrow that ended up blocking an intersection; an SUV backing into traffic, holding everyone up for the sake of a good spot; three SUVs almost back into each other, all trying to be the first out of the parking lot.
AAA reports tens of thousands of crashes involving aggressive driving across the country every year. On average, that leads to more than ten thousand serious injuries, and several hundred deaths.

PITTSBURG -- The city is seeking a new top cop, now that longtime police Chief Aaron Baker is leaving the post.
"I'm retiring," Baker said Thursday.
The city has launched a recruitment effort to find his replacement, with an application deadline of Nov 19. The city is offering a salary range of $140,724 to $179,600, according to an online posting on the website of the California Police Chiefs Association.
Baker, 60, who joined the department in 1976 and was named chief in 1998, expects that a new chief will be in place by the end of the year or early 2013.
"That's the general timeline for it, but I've agreed to stick around as long as it takes to get the new person on board. It's been a very fulfilling job for me. It's been more than a job, it's been a great career," Baker said.
Baker officially retired in 2008, but under provisions of the California State Public Employees Retirement System, he has continued to work slightly less than half time, which has translated into a base salary of $81,771 in 2011, while also drawing a retirement pension.
"It was always meant to be temporary," he said.
A state law aimed at public pensions contributed to Baker's decision to retire, said Mayor Ben Johnson.
One of the provisions of the law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, sets limits on post-retirement employment that reduces retirement benefits once that threshold is reached.
Baker's tenure as chief has coincided with a drop in the city's reported crime rate.
"We have a chief of police who is very effective. If it was my choice, I would keep him here," Johnson said.
Johnson said the choice of hiring the police chief rests with City Manager Joe Sbranti.
"We'll look at everything and give him our input," Johnson said.
Baker plans to do some traveling in his retirement years, but don't look for him on a cruise ship.
"I'll do what retired people do, but I'm not a great shuffleboard player," he said.

Christie Returns After Missing Blizzard
Gov. Chris Christie is finally back home in New Jersey.
The first-year governor, who sat out the blizzard in Disney World, relieved Senate President Stephen Sweeney of his acting governor duties Friday morning.
Christie's absence from New Jersey during the state of emergency was compounded by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno's simultaneous vacation. That led critics to wonder why the state even had a lieutenant governor, a post created in 2005 and filled for the first time by Guadagno.
Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak has said the governor was in "constant communication" with top staff members. He would not elaborate on whether the governor went in or out of Florida and did not respond to requests throughout the week for the whereabouts of Guadagno. On Thursday, another spokeswoman, Maria Comella, said Guadagno's trip included a variety of places, including Mexico, where she was Thursday.
They declined to provide itineraries. "I don't know that it's necessary to give a blow-by-blow travel plans," Drewniak said.
While it's unclear how much more could have been accomplished had the governor remained in New Jersey during the blizzard, his critics appear poised use his absence to dent his image as a take-charge, hands-on chief executive.
A progressive group launched a satirical website, WheresChristie.com, to track the Republican governor, who has been in-and-out of New Jersey during the fall to campaign for Republican candidates across the country. The site posted pictures of Christie — editing a "Where's Waldo"-like cap into the images — and maintains a list of his various trips.
Christie has several times criticized lawmakers for being on vacation, and he has threatened to make them work over the July 4 holiday if they could not pass a property tax cap.

Common Communism Lyrics
Last updated: 05/22/2006 12:00:00 PM
Yo Troy I'ma come on the rhythm
with a little bit of Communism
Yeah, hah
So check it out, yeah
Chick-a chick-a I'm
Chick-a chick-a on
Chick-a chick-a my
my, own shit
Like an entrepreneur, that stepped in manure
man I'm newer than a Jack I went up the hill with Jill
And jack Jill's big bootay
But did the booty up, I told the bitch she better have my money
Or step to the AMG
You know Com Sense, oh yeah him be
That nigga that be making all the by-by-by-bye sounds
But since then, Common calm down!
I'm on some calm shit watch Com get complicated
Simple motherfuckers say the way that Com communicated
was too complex, I got a complex not to complain
on my brain no complain and so will my community
And I prefer compliments
So I complement at an angle, of ninety degrees
It's the nineties, and music got known for grease
I got a sense of direction and a compass
Com past MC's with compassion, though I heard the screams of
But I ain't shy, so why shall I comfort
Com should've been at the fort with Jeff I'm so ill
But I chilled in my compartment with no company and no meals
Now Com can get the panty, but I want my own company
And Com is on a mission not to work for commission
It's a common market and it's so much competition
but to me, competition is none
To my comp I'm a ton I get amped like Watts in a riot
my compact disc is a commodity, so buy it
Instead of competing with Pete
Com compromised, Com made a promise
Not to commercialize, but compound the soul
without the elements, compelling sense into Communism

HERCULES -- In a sign that a city councilwoman's yearlong feud with the mayor is not over, the councilwoman's husband is seeking 10 months' worth of the mayor's emails under a public records request filed with City Hall by his political action committee.
Manuel de Vera, the husband of Councilwoman Myrna de Vera, and his PAC, Save Hercules, seek emails by Mayor Dan Romero from December 2011 through September 2012, City Hall confirmed last week.
Save Hercules registered with the state on Sept. 25, according to a spokeswoman for the California secretary of state. The PAC's phone number is the same as one listed on the Web for Manuel de Vera's San Francisco insurance agency. The PAC's statement of information was not available Friday.
In December, Myrna de Vera filed a formal complaint with Hercules City Attorney Patrick Tang, accusing Romero of lobbying other council members in violation of state open meeting rules to vote for him to succeed de Vera as mayor at the conclusion of her term earlier that month. Tang found de Vera's allegation unsupported by the evidence.
Myrna de Vera did not respond to a request for comment from this newspaper about the latest document request. But her husband, in an email Friday, said, "I can only say one thing -- this has nothing to do with her. I thought about it and have requested it. I have set up two committees, and I have no comment to give to you now or anytime in the future."
On Tuesday, the City Council will consider a one-year contract for up to $20,000 to retain a paralegal on call to process public records requests.
According to a staff report, two pending public records requests could cost the city upward of $3,000. One of the requests is Manuel de Vera's; the other is from this newspaper, for email and other correspondence related to alleged bullying of de Vera. She has accused Romero and City Manager Steve Duran of bullying her.
Duran, in an email last month, said he had to refrain from commenting on the matter.
Romero, in an email Saturday, said he has disagreed with de Vera, not bullied her.
"I have stated that I feel she has been wrong in some of her tactics against staff," Romero wrote. "I have stated in an email that her temper is getting in the way. I am entitled to say no to the councilwoman."
Last month, this newspaper published a June 29 email from de Vera to Romero alleging bullying, obtained pursuant to a public records request. At de Vera's suggestion, the paper made an additional public records request for documents referencing bullying covering a longer time period; that request is pending.
De Vera, meanwhile, has aired her complaints of bullying in another forum.
"During public meetings, the current (Hercules) mayor and the (Hercules) city manager speak rudely to me to the point of bullying, and they expect me to keep quiet and take it without comment," reads the unabridged version of a prepared speech de Vera delivered in shortened form at the 2012 Filipina Women's Network's 100 Most Influential Filipina Women of the U.S. celebration at the Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco on Aug. 31.
The unabridged version is posted on the Filipina Images website at http://filipinaimages.com/myrna-lardizabal-de-vera-on-august-31-2012-hello-powerful-pinays/.
"When I demand they treat me with respect, they are shocked and angry," the unabridged version continues. "Even the mainstream media recently depicted me as a petty, whiny woman in a tantrum over the current mayor getting the mayoral position, when the truth was I had reported a violation of the law."

Frostbite Tips For Novices: Skip Whiskey And Shed Your Rings
Originally published on Tue January 7, 2014 5:38 am
Frostbite isn't usually a major worry here in Washington, D.C., but with wind chills below zero forecast for half of the Lower 48 by Tuesday morning, millions of people from the Plains to the East Coast will have to start thinking like Arctic explorers while waiting for a school bus or heading to work.
Noses, fingers, toes and ears face the biggest risk. Those body parts have less blood flowing through them and a lot less mass than the body's core. They're also more likely to be exposed to the elements. Obviously, bundling up those tender parts is key.
Some of the things that people try to prevent or treat freezing injuries do more harm than good, doctors say. That includes drinking alcohol to "warm up," when it can actually cool you faster by dilating the blood vessels near the surface of your skin. And rubbing frozen skin, instead of gently warming it.
To get up to speed on frostbite protocol, we called Dr. Seth Podolsky, a vice chair of emergency services at the Cleveland Clinic. It was 2 degrees in Cleveland at 12:15 p.m. Monday, with blowing snow. And the mercury was dropping fast. In those sorts of conditions, frostbite can develop in 30 minutes or less, according to the National Weather Service.
"Prevention really is key," Podolsky told Shots. "The more time and the more skin exposed, the worse it is."
When Podolsky worked in Colorado extremely cold weather wasn't so unusual. "You always had an emergency kit in the car because you never knew when you were going to get stuck," he said. That meant not just warm clothing, but blankets or sleeping bags.
Those measures will also reduce the risk of the other big cold-related health problem, hypothermia. A body temperature below 95 degrees can lead to death if not quickly treated.
In frostbite, tissues literally freeze. Bad frostbite can destroy blood vessels, leading to gangrene and loss of extremities. It's been a longtime risk for soldiers in war, as well as for Arctic explorers and high-altitude mountaineers.
Fortunately for us novices, that sort of catastrophic damage is relatively rare. And frostbite has an early warning sign, called frostnip. The skin reddens and stings, and can feel numb. That's the signal to get out of the elements, fast.
"If you do end up getting frostbite, you need to seek care of a physician," Podolsky says. In the meantime, get to a warm place and take off wet clothing. Try to remove rings or other jewelry, because frostbite causes serious swelling.
Forget that old saw about rubbing snow on numbed skin; that's just making skin colder. In fact, don't rub skin at all, Podolsky says, because that can further damage already injured skin.
The emergency room treatment is simple. "We warm you. We take off your clothes," he says. "We may use a warm water bath." If it's truly frostbite, the thawing process is, unfortunately, painful, as blood flow returns and tissues swell.
Frostbitten skin usually blisters, so warm bulky dressings are used to protect the skin and prevent infection. A tetanus shot is a good idea, Podolsky says. Some studies have found that using aspirin, warfarin or other blood thinners may help reduce the risk of long-term damage.
In the emergency rooms of Cleveland, people who show up with frostbite injuries are typically a mix of outdoor enthusiasts and homeless people with no place to get out of the cold. "We do expect we'll see different types of cold emergency" in this big chill, Podolsky says, including people who just didn't realize how quickly they can be hurt in this intense Arctic chill. "But we're hoping that school will be canceled."

No Limits: One of America's Hottest Live Bands
No Limits Band Demo Video
High Energy Fun for Special Events
Once No Limits takes the stage it'll become instantly clear why they are one of the premier live cover bands in the United States today, and why, when the rich and famous are looking for a premier band to play alongside Goo Goo Dolls, it's the No Limits Band they bring in. There is NO LIMIT to the amount of fun guests will experience when this high energy band is included on the guest list.
"Saying amazing would simply not do the No Limits performance a bit of justice. Not only are those that attended still buzzing about it but so many that did not attend have reached out to me wanting to know who we had. I've been asked about them for other parties, weddings, etc.
Personally, I can say it was everything we hoped for and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the band and getting to know them. We all had the time of our lives and it helped Neptune raise the bar once more for what is expected from our events." – Gerald Everett, President, Krewe of Neptune, Biloxi, Mississippi
This powerhouse band is one of the go-to groups for the nation's biggest events. They received rave reviews for performing at Mardi Gras' biggest and most spectacular party, "The Orpheuscapade," alongside country music sensation Dierks Bentley and American Idol Finalist Casey James. The band was also booked for the Baton Rouge Mardi Gras Ball the weekend before the main event, where they received more rave reviews.
"Hands down, the best band I have ever seen!!!" – Liza Kehoe, Bride, Jackson, Wyoming
"To say that you made our night is an understatement! You guys were AMAZING! You made our wedding a dream come true. Your energy and talent drove everyone crazy!! Thank you so much for coming down and giving us your best performance. Oh, and as a heads up, we have gotten comments from a couple of people already that want to contact you for future performances." – Michelle and Marco Perello, Bride/Groom, Dominican Republic
Photo Slide Show: No Limits Cover Band
"What can I say… You guys were amazing!!!!! From the song selection (every single one of them) to your energy level (insane!) to the interaction with the guests (especially Lexi, she's pretty crazy up there) and just your professionalism throughout the process, I WANT TO THANK YOU!!! I have to say that almost every single guest said you guys were the best band they had ever heard! I will definitely be calling you for our next occasion." – Lisa Becker, Cancun, Mexico
"The band was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! They seriously made our wedding! Everyone had the best time! I have already passed your information along to many people as they were eager for more details." – Jillian Welker, Bride, Truckee, CA
They are extremely versatile, playing some of the best dance music you've ever heard – from the most popular songs of the 60s to today's Top 40 hits. And since they're produced by the same musical genius that created the amazing Party Crashers band, you'll see the same superior production values in their shows.
"Best band yet! No one wanted to stop dancing!" – Traci Sterba, Baton Rouge Mardi Gras Ball
"People are STILL talking about how amazing the band was. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience." – Lauren Brown, Bride, Sun Valley, Idaho
Lead singer Rachel is guaranteed to be the most energetic and versatile vocalist you've ever seen. Male lead vocalists Da'Jon and Conlon make the women swoon with their Justin Timberlake-style vocals and Michael Jackson-esque dance moves. Mike is a fan favorite with his fiery lead guitar and smooth vocals and Bogie is one of the most incredible drummers on the planet. Add in some high-stepping dance routines, dazzling costumes, flashy lights, rich background vocals, and the most charming horn section you've ever seen and you've got one of the most exciting bands around.
Incredible Band Breathes Life and Energy Into Events
"A BIG THANK YOU!!! Your band is incredible. I can't tell you how many phone calls, emails and text messages we have received about "our band." I can't thank you enough for your powerful performance. You made my dreams come true for my daughter's wedding." – Emily, Mother of Bride, Wyoming
"You guys simply tore up the Marriott at the private gig for AlphaGraphics Saturday night! An absolutely electrifying performance. High energy talent at its best! I'm a senior citizen, and I STILL loved you! Question: do you keep Rachel in a cage between performances? Does your guitarist have more than the usual ten fingers? Does your bassist really know how good he is? If anyone asks me, I'll be delighted to recommend you. Just amazing!" – Steve Dawson, AlphaGraphics
"This band has indescribable energy and enthusiasm. They created an atmosphere that sparkled with fun. Our guests all joined in and had a great time. The band is our favorite party band!" – Susan Glenn, Date Night for 2
