Beyoncé Knowles
- 1988
A Standing Ovation
Beyoncé enters her first talent show at age 7. Singing John Lennon's "Imagine," she doesn't just win, she beats 15- and 16-year-olds and receives a standing ovation.
- circa 1990
It's Gyrls Time
With hands-on help from her parents, Beyoncé performs with the girls group Gyrls Tyme, which included future Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. They practice on the deck outside the Knowles home before hitting the talent show circuit in Houston.
- 1996
A Father's Gamble for Destiny
Beyoncé's father, Mathew, leaves his six-figure sales job at Xerox to manage the girls full-time, and helps negotiates a deal for them with Columbia Records. They are eventually renamed Destiny's Child and release their self-titled debut in 1998. Their standout single from the album is a remix of "No, No, No," with Wyclef Jean.
- 1999
"Jumpin'" Off the Shelves
The group's second album, The Writing's on the Wall, quietly debuts at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. After the CD gains momentum thanks to singles "Say My Name" and "Jumpin', Jumpin'," it goes on to sell more than 8 million copies.
- 2000
The Lineup Shuffles
Beyoncé announces on TRL that original DC members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson have left the group, and the "Say My Name" video premieres with new members Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. Claiming to have discovered their dismissal only after seeing the video, Luckett and Roberson file a lawsuit, and eventually settle out of court. In July, Franklin leaves the group and Destiny's Child remains a trio.
Charlie's Angels Soundtrack
Destiny's Child contributes "Independent Women Part I" to the Charlie's Angels movie soundtrack (starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu). The song spends 11 weeks at No. 1, raising the group's profile to full-fledged pop phenomenon.
- 2001
A Grammy Says Her Name
After making her acting debut in MTV's "hip-hopera" Carmen, Beyoncé wins her first Grammy with Destiny's Child for "Say My Name," a song she cowrote. She goes on to write "Survivor," a song about success despite trying circumstances off the group's third album, which sells more than 4 million copies. In 2002, Beyoncé becomes the first black woman to win ASCAP's Pop Songwriter of the Year Award.
- 2002
Welcome to the Big Screen
In her big-screen debut, Beyoncé plays Foxxy Cleopatra in the Austin Power's movie Goldmember, which tops the box office and makes $73.1 million its first weekend. In 2006, she takes a leading-lady role in The Pink Panther opposite Steve Martin. The movie remake also hits No. 1 and earns $20.2 million opening weekend.
The Dating Dirt
Reports begin to circulate that Beyoncé is dating hip hop mogul Jay-Z after she appears on his song "'03 Bonnie & Clyde." (They play a couple on the run in the video.) The duo will go on to collaborate on Beyoncé's solo hits, 2003's "Crazy in Love" and 2006's "Deja Vu" before going public as a couple.
Sipping Spears' Pepsi
Replacing Britney Spears, who famously starred in Pepsi commercials for two years, Beyoncé lands pop's most sought-after endorsement. Before taking over for Spears, Beyoncé stars with her and Pink as ancient Roman gladiators singing "We Will Rock You" at the Coliseum. The sonic vibrations of their voices cause Pepsi cans to fall out of the emperor's box to the feet of the three pop stars in the arena.

The Hostess with the Mostest
This was the title aptly deserved by Summervillian Barbara Clancy, proprietor of The Victorian House, (now closed) who passed on late last month. According to her son David, for approximately 30 years she was hostess, caterer and presider over thousands of people in what must have been hundreds of events. These included showers, receptions, weddings, anniversaries, and other special festivities. All her food was fresh and homemade. My family was part of that era with my sister Cynthia and her husband Jons wedding in 1989 and the 50th wedding anniversary celebration for the Jim Hills five years ago.
Barbara worked into her 80s and once told me Everything I do is a happy thing, thats why its such fun. This not only described what she did, but the person herself. Barbara had a soft voice and walked with a skipping step, gesturing with her hands, as though she might break into a dance at any moment. (And she often did just that.) Her manner was, What can I do for you? whether in business, personal or volunteer activities.
Whenever there was a need, she was one of the first to offer help. She not only ran a business, she supported her church, St. Theresas, hosting many parties and cooking for innumerable activities. She and Gene restored The Victorian House and won a Restoration Award from the Summerville Preservation Society. Barbara also volunteered with the Historic Charleston Foundation, serving as a docent for festivals of homes and gardens.
Jim and I knew Barbara and her late husband Gene for over 30 years, beginning with our church association. They were both genial, fun people. With a name like Clancy, they were Irish to the bone and celebrated St. Patrick and shamrocks every chance they got. We spent many a night at parties at their home listening to Irish pub songs, especially one called The Unicorn which has eleven verses and includes animal gestures with melodies, which we all belted out with great enthusiasm. This ditty was written by Shel Silverstein and recorded by The Irish Rovers.
Then there was the Curious Case of the Commode. Gene started it all by depositing said essential in a friends front yard. Nobody doubted who done it and the joke went round robin to several yards, ending up at the front door of the original perpetrator. It was painted shamrock green, decorated with blow pops and featured a sketch of you-know-who. Can you imagine grown people acting like that? You bet!
Barbara brought this sense of fun into everything she did whether on a personal or business basis. Gracious was her middle name. She said of The Victorian House that, The heart of this home, like any, is the kitchen. I dont have a lot of modern equipment. I like plain and simple like on and off. Guests always felt easy venturing into this plain kitchen to have a look-see and hug the hostess. She called The Victorian House her Feel Good House, and said that when she went to work there it was to make people happy.
I imagine that the Good Lord has already put her to work serving up divine canapés. And after all, why not? Southern hospitality is surely welcome everywhere, starting with heaven.

Four-Car Crash Ties Up Hwy. 20E at Hamby Road
Deputies Say Driver Pulled Out into Another's Path
Four Bend drivers escaped serious injury, though one went to the hospital for evaluation after a crash Sunday on Highway 20E at Hamby Road on Bend?s east side, Deschutes County sheriff?s deputies said.
Bend Fire medics also were dispatched to the scene of the crash around 11:45 a.m., according to a news release from Sgt. Ronny Dozier and Deputy Kyle Joye.
An initial investigation indicated Andrew Dean Hager, 50, was southbound on Hamby Road at the wheel of a 2010 Suzuki SX4 SUV. Deputies said he tried to cross the intersection, into the path of a 2004 Honda Element driven by Mark Tim Johnson, 59.
Trying to avoid a collision, Johnson swerved and his car collided head-on with an eastbound 2004 Buck SUV driven by Rita Ann Harris, 76 Dozier and Joye said. After the two vehicles collided, they struck a 2010 Toyota Corolla driven by Marni Janae Whitsett, 25, they said.
All four drivers were evaluated by medics on scene and released, though Harris was taken by personal vehicle to St. Charles Medical Center-Bend for evaluation, deputies said.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing they said, adding that it does not appear alcohol was a factor in the crash. All four drivers were wearing their seat belts, deputies said.
ODOT assisted with traffic control at the scene. The highway?s eastbound lanes were closed for about a half-hour during the investigation. Traffic was reduced to one alternating lane until the crash lane was cleared, deputies said.

MARTINSBURG - Visitors to Boydville will have their last opportunity to view the vintage and antique clothing displays at the mansion from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21 during the Boydville Autumn Open House as well as tour the historic estate "in its fall glory," Susan Whalton said Friday in a telephone interview.
"The clothing is from the 1850s through the 1950s and some of it was worn by the actual occupants of Boydville - the Boyd/Faulkner family - donated by Jane Faulkner Snyder," Whalton said.
Located at 601 S. Queen St., Martinsburg, Boydville was built in 1812 by Elisha Boyd, a general in the War of 1812. The 8,700-square-foot antebellum mansion originally was the center of a 300-acre estate, which was eventually increased to 700 acres.

Boyd's daughter, Mary, inherited the plantation from her father. She married Charles James Faulkner, who bought the estate from his wife. He also served in the War of 1812, practiced law in Martinsburg, served in the Virginia House of Delegates, was appointed U.S. minister to France in 1859 by President James Buchanan and served in the U.S. House of Representatives from West Virginia.
Charles James Faulkner II, also an attorney in Martinsburg, was elected to the U.S. Senate from West Virginia.
Charles James Faulkner III retired to Boydville after a career as a corporate lawyer in Chicago. He died at Boydville in 1953 and his widow, Elizabeth, lived there until she died in 1956.

What: Autumn Open House at Boydville
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21
Where: 601 S. Queen St., Martinsburg
After 146 years as home to the same family, Boydville was sold in 1958 to Mr. and Mrs. Roderick Cheeseman.
In 2005, the Berkekey County Farmland Protection Board bought the mansion and remaining 13 acres of the estate when a developer planned to build a residential subdivision on the grounds.
"It's been a long time since we opened the house in the fall," Whalton continued. "We want to take advantage of the visitors to the Apple Harvest Festival. Boydville is in walking distance of the parade and arts and crafts show at the Roundhouse."
The Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival runs from Thursday through Sunday at various locations in downtown Martinsburg.
In addition to the vintage and antique clothing exhibits, which was curated by Barbara Bratina, and tours of the mansion and grounds, hot cider and cookies will be offered to guests, Whalton said.
The open house and activities are free, but donations are gladly accepted, she said.

TUNIS, 6 October 2011 – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) teamed up with the African Development Bank (AfDB) to present a new UNIDO study today on opportunities and challenges for African agribusiness.
The publication, entitled "Agribusiness for Africa's Prosperity", is co-edited by the Director-General of UNIDO, Kandeh K. Yumkella.
The event brought together some fifty experts representing both organizations, Tunisian public and private sectors and journalists.
The book was presented by the UNIDO Representative in Nigeria and Director of the Regional Office, Patrick Kormawa, and a UNIDO expert in agribusiness, Torben Roepstorf.
Opening the meeting, the Director of the AfDB research department, Desire Vencatachellum, expressed satisfaction with the role played by the experts of both organizations, in the preparation of the book.
"The theme is important and key to the development process of the continent," he said.
Monica Carco, UNIDO Representative in Tunisia, highlighted the employment opportunities offered by the agribusiness sector, saying that the sector was a top priority in the African development agenda.
Speaking on behalf of the AfDB department of agriculture and agribusiness, Josephine Mwangi-Mutuura, said the AfDB-UNIDO partnership was "paving the way to a forum for discussion on the subject".
She dwelt on the large number of projects and programmes funded by AfDB in this sector. "The Bank intends to see the ideas in the book be translated into concrete programmes," she said.
Zakharia Ahmed, Chief of Cabinet and Director of agribusiness at the Ministry of Industry and Technology of Tunisia, which, in turn, shared the Tunisian experience, said he greatly appreciated the partnership between his country, AfDB and UNIDO, adding that it helped boost the successful development of the agro sector. "Tunisia's successful experience in this sector is due to a strong political will," he said.
All interventions that followed, emphasized the role to be played by African governments in support of agribusiness, and in promoting and accelerating an inclusive regional development.
Salem Ahmed, Under Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment stated that he was grateful for the analysis carried out by the authors of the book. He called on UNIDO and AfDB to continue supporting the African agribusiness sector.
The seminar provided a platform for discussing technical solutions and financial products to support the development of agribusiness in Africa.

Move over, Richard Nixon – you've got company.
Journalist Bob Woodward is going after another sitting US president, but unlike Nixon during the Watergate era, this one isn't trying to cover up a bungled burglary. Instead, Woodward believes, President Barack Obama has fallen prey to a kind of "madness" during the sequester fight, making military decisions based on budgetary politics in Washington and going back on the deal he proposed to Congress in 2011.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough of "Morning Joe" on Wednesday described the Woodward-Obama feud as "Ali-Frazier IV," a particularly telling metaphor since the two legendary heavyweights only fought three times. During that appearance, Woodward went on to criticize Obama for not sending the USS Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf because of budgetary concerns.
And if that wasn't enough, Woodward told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Wednesday night that a senior White House official informed him that he would "regret" the way he's criticized Obama during the sequester battle.
"They're not happy at all," Woodward told Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." Woodward has been vocal in pointing out that the sequester was Obama's idea, a charge the White House originally denied but has since acknowledged, as CNN reported Wednesday.
"It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, 'You're going to regret doing something that you believe in,'" Woodward said on CNN.
The bad blood between the president and the veteran scribe had been brewing for some time, but it hit a fever pitch with a Feb. 22 Washington Post column that detailed precisely when Obama OK'd the sequester strategy:
Obama personally approved of the plan for (Jack) Lew and (Rob) Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.
With the White House unable to wriggle off the hook and point the finger at Republicans in the face of Woodward's meticulous reporting, Team Obama has resorted to making threats. It seems, well, a little Nixonian. It may help White House personnel feel better to unload on Woodward, but given his track record and history of impact journalism, it could easily prove to be the wrong approach in trying to win the public relations battle.
If the sequester is somehow avoided, the Woodward-Obama spat will go down in history as just another footnote in the Obama presidency.
But if the sequester occurs, Obama will only benefit politically by being able to blame Republicans for spending cuts most Americans oppose. Since most people, sadly, pay more attention to spin than facts, Obama would likely succeed in convincing most voters to believe the GOP was to blame for the cuts in everything from defense to education to airport security. Or at least he would have succeeded, that is, until Woodward sounded off.
By pushing back against Woodward instead of just ignoring the veteran scribe, the White House now finds itself in a situation where more and more Americans are ready to take a second look at just who is to blame for the sequester. As that happens, Obama's position of strength will begin to diminish.
With sequestration fast approaching, Obama had better hope he can strike some kind of a deal with Congress. Otherwise, it may be another incumbent president – not a reporter – who ends up regretting how he handled a particular situation.

Each participating VIO will have an information stand, displaying examples of their current volunteer activities, including photos and volunteer stories. They will also give information on activities or projects for which they need to recruit volunteers. A big screen in the exhibition hall will show photos and films of volunteers in action, and every hour will give a running total of the number of new volunteers recruited during IVD by the participating VIOs. At the end of the day, the final total of new volunteers recruited during IVD events in Bishkek and the provinces will be announced to the press and public.
The V-EXPO in Bishkek will open with a formal presentation at 10.00 and close with an informal concert at 16.00, including plays, poems and songs on the theme of volunteering, with participation of all VIOs present. To help publicise the V-EXPO, there will be a press conference on 2nd December, and an IVD slot on a national TV Breakfast Show 'Zamana' on 5th December.
In eight other towns and cities in Kyrgyzstan simultaneous events to mark International Volunteer Day will take place. In most cities there will be a V-EXPO similar to the one in Bishkek. There will be a wide range of other activities connected with IVD around the country, including in Osh the cleaning of a famous tourist landmark by volunteers, in Naryn an anti-glue sniffing campaign in schools, in Jalal-Abad a mobile celebration of IVD / volunteer recruitment drive using four local buses and in Batken a TV show and Radio phone-in.
These events are initiated and funded by UNV, and supported by the Ministry of Education Department for Youth Policy, with active collaboration of the following VIOs: Peace Corps, JICA, Red Cross and Red Crescent, Habitat for Humanity, HelpAge International, Rotary Club.

Becoming the Influence: Helping Young Adults Overcome Mental Illness and Substance Abuse
By Zach Culler, NAMI Communications Intern
According to the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately one in four college students experienced alcohol abuse or dependence in the past year. Moreover, a 2011 study at Northwestern University revealed that one out of every four or five students exhibited depression while visiting the school's health center.
While the populations of substance abuse and depression do not coincide perfectly, it is reasonable to expect that a large overlap exists between them. One condition may even cause or exacerbate another.
Students who find themselves in this overlapping realm face distinct obstacles on the road to successful treatment. Since substance abuse can exist as a co-occurring condition to most mental illnesses, it may be difficult to isolate the symptoms of each problem. The two conditions--while manageable apart--tend to feed from one another. Failure to combine treatment can create the misconception that treatment for one problem fails to help, and unsuccessful cycles of treatment may ultimately discourage people from pursuing treatment at all. The sad reality is that mental illness rarely affects any two people the same. Symptoms depend on a wide range of factors, and more than one method of treatment may be needed.
The human mind boasts some of the most complex processes found in nature. When these processes betray us "for any number of biological, psychological or societal reasons" stigma associated with a condition may be just as damaging as symptoms themselves. For this reason, people often self-medicate through dangerous behaviors because they feel social pressure to hide their conditions.
Opponents of these social pressures, along with peer pressure in general, sparked a recent anti-substance abuse campaign targeted toward teens and young adults. "Above the Influence,"ť a movement that boasts over 1.3 million Facebook likes, produces PSAs and advertisements that advise youth to live above the influence of drugs and alcohol. The language of this campaign creates a stigmatizing boundary in which sober teens "rise above" their peers who have fallen under the influence "creating even more shame for the teens who turn to alcohol for self-medication." Perhaps the time has come to abolish the harsh binary of living "above the influence" or "under the influence."ť Instead, students should be empowered to seek a third option: become the influence, by seeking help and encouraging peers to do the same.
Reducing the stigma that surrounds mental illness and substance abuse by promoting treatment must be the first step in helping college students, as well as other teenagers and young adults, combat their mental health issues. Through education and advocacy, mental health professionals can encourage youth to seek the proper combination of treatments.

Jim DeMint's sudden departure from the U.S. Senate for the more lucrative position as head of the Heritage Foundation raises questions about the future of the Tea Party.
At one angle it speaks to the genuine populist roots of the movement. DeMint is one of the least affluent members of the Senate so, unlike many of his colleagues, he was making an important personal financial decision. But it also shows the diverse and in some ways contradictory nature of the Tea Party.
Take, for example, Dick Armey, the former house majority leader, that left his movement-inspired organization demanding an $8 million budget. Like entrepreneurs in the 1980s, he founded a political organization, grew its membership and then sold it at a profit.
No doubt Armey's pluck and luck appeals to the Libertarian wing where nothing is sacred but money; however, its appeal to the rest of the conservative movement must be limited.
Or is it? Mike Huckabee cashed in on a presidential candidacy and created a Branson-style talk show on Fox. Sarah Palin, for a time, managed to turn a vice-presidential candidacy into a talk show.
This is nothing new. Populists in the 1890s like Ignatius Donnelly, Mary Elizabeth Lease and Tom Watson, to name a few, made commercial hay while the sun shone.
Even the "great commoner," William Jennings Bryant, outstripped both William McKinley and many of his Wall Street friends in making money. He sold books, bought stocks and ended his days trying to sell lots in Miami in 1925. All the while he sold himself as a friend of the oppressed.
In style, particularly, the Tea Party resembles the Populists. They have as many positions as they have members. Many hawk gold or they tout the beliefs of two Austrian economists, F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. Or perhaps 17th century economist J.B. Say, the founder of supply side economics. Whether they understand it is anyone's guess but they love to dabble.
Because of this amateurism there is both confusion and energy. DeMint's anti-government stance should have placed him at odds with Strom Thurmond or even North Carolina's Jessie Helms. They liked government to protect textiles, tobacco and to send subsidies their way.
Helms, at the end of his career, broke his association with the Congressional Club because it was too doctrinaire.
Thurmond, like Helms, broke with government action in two areas, civil rights and organized labor.
Certainly the swashbuckling nature of the Tea Party's hyper-individualism has no real relationship to the old traditionalism of Dixie Conservatives.
They are Libertarian on domestic affairs and militaristic on foreign policy. Taxes are to be paid by the middle class and responsibilities levied on the poor. Apparently their goal is to enrich themselves, create a voter bank - sell it - then set up a Tea Party Branch - unload it.
Each branch can make it up as they go along. Conservatism in their eyes is simply what they proclaim. Consistency, understanding or synthesis is to be left to history. And if it sounds good who's to say its not the genuine article.
Perhaps it is time for responsible Republicans to call their Tea Party comrades to account. They were a one-trick pony - in 2012, by flexing their muscle, the Tea Party cost the GOP many Senate seats.
Mitt Romney was so squeezed that he looked like an ideological yo-yo at campaign's end.
Their skill in organization has not been seen since 2010, though during 2012, it did not stop the movement from pushing its weight around.
In 1896, Bryan replaced Grover Cleveland as a symbol of the Democratic Party. He was nominated three times, losing every time. His damage to the party was immense. Not until 1912, after a Republican spat, were Democrats able to return to the White House. It is a lesson that should not be lost on Republicans in 2013.

Officials in Norman are asking residents to take old cooking oils, animal fats and grease to the Sanitation Department's Transfer Station to be recycled.
Debbie Smith is the environmental services coordinator for the Utilities Department. She says the transfer station gives residents a place to dispose of used oils and grease that can come from turkey fryers.
The Norman Transcript reports (http://bit.ly/UMZRdb ) that the recycling program only applies to cooking grade fats, oils and grease. It does not include petroleum products.
When dumped into the sewer system, fats, oils and grease eventually thicken and stick to the walls of sewer pipes. That gunk can build up and eventually clog pipes.

Mia Nickson had 13 points and Ariel Edwards added 11 off the bench for Penn State (22-3, 12-1 Big Ten), which used a 19-3 run to jump out to a 21-point halftime lead and cruised to its 19th straight home win.
Karisma Penn and Adrienne GodBold each had 17 points to lead Illinois (15-10, 8-5 Big Ten).
Entering the game, the Fighting Illini had won of five of six games and climbed into a tie for third place in the Big Ten standings. But Illinois led only briefly against a Penn State team that was 17-of-29 from the field in the first half (59 percent) and 16-of-25 in the second half (64 percent).
"Wow, were they good tonight," Illinois coach Matt Bollant said. "They punched us in the mouth and we didn't respond. Those kids played without a lot of energy. They made a lot of plays."
Penn State's shooting percentage was its highest in a single game in 17 years.
"We made it a point, going into this game, to make the extra pass," said Lucas, who recorded her 12th 20-point game this season. "That's going to lead to the most open shot. We also got a lot in transition, especially in the first half."
With the victory, the Lady Lions held on to their two-game lead in the Big Ten with three games remaining. Penn State can clinch a tie for its second consecutive regular season title with a victory in its home finale Sunday against Michigan.
The Lady Lions pulled ahead early in the first half of a slow-paced, physical game that featured 47 combined fouls, 52 free throw attempts and two technical fouls called against Illinois.
"They were a very physical team," Nickson said. "They've always been like that. It was just something we had to adjust to."
Penn State led 13-12 with 13:18 left in the first half when it put together its deciding run.
The Lady Lions were nearly perfect over a five-minute stretch, converting six of seven shots from the field and six of nine from the free-throw line to turn a one-point lead into a 17-point advantage.
"We were a little shocked about how good they were," Bollant said. "We lost some of our aggressiveness."
Nikki Greene's putback off Dara Taylor's miss started the run for Penn State. Six consecutive free throws, including four from Nickson and two from Bentley, made it a 10-point game.
The second of back-to-back blocks from Candice Agee was converted into a lay-up by Bentley. Lucas then followed with a 3-pointer to put Penn State up by 13 points. Consecutive lay-ins from Agree capped the run and gave Penn State a 32-15 lead with 8:10 remaining in the first half.
"We did a good job of finding the wide open person and not forcing things too much," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "Some of our turnovers, we didn't have strong ball security. It took us the first few minutes of the game to adjust to the physical nature of how they play. Once we adjusted, we were fine."
A three-point play by Nickson gave Penn State its largest lead of the first half, 42-20, with 4:54 left. A jumper from Edwards just before halftime gave Penn State a 54-33 advantage.
The Fighting Illini pulled to within 18 points at the midway point of the second half. The final score marked the Lady Lions' biggest lead of the game.

"They are no longer a couple," Bublé's rep Liz Rosenberg confirms to PEOPLE.
The Golden Globe-winning British actress, 25, and the 32-year-old crooner met in 2005, when she popped backstage to say hello to him after one of his concerts.
Each was the other's biggest cheerleader. "I get tears in my eyes when I see him onstage. It's overwhelming," Blunt told PEOPLE last year.
The feeling was mutual for Bublé. "Every time I see her onscreen, I fall in love with her all over again," he said.
After Bublé, Blunt's second biggest fan was her boyfriend's mom. "I love her," Amber Bublé, 53, gushed to PEOPLE this spring. "In fact if he doesn't marry her, I'll kill him. But we'd find someone in the family to marry her because we're not letting her go, ever. She's just the best thing ever and they're perfect together."
But the strains of a long distance relationship may have weighed on the couple, who shared a home in Vancouver. With their busy acting and touring schedules, "It's not easy," Bublé told PEOPLE in April.
The split was first reported on perezhilton.com.

The Stetson baseball team defeated the Canadian Junior National Team by a score of 10-3 on Saturday afternoon at Melching Field in what Head Coach Pete Dunn hopes turns into an annual fall event for the Hatters.
"I think they're going to be down here about this time every year so we hope to do it every year," Dunn said after the game. "We've had some good Canadian players on our teams, and it's a good opportunity for us."
For the first time this fall, the Hatters were able to get some competition against somebody other than themselves. In fact, 26 Stetson players saw action on Saturday, including 11 newcomers to the program.
Both teams used wood bats for the exhibition, a change for Stetson, but it didn't seem to have a negative impact on the Hatters. Stetson scored seven runs in the first two innings, coming out of the gate swinging the wood bats well.
Sophomore Tyler Bocock got the ball rolling in the bottom of the first with a single through the right side, and then came around to score on a triple to right center field by senior Mitchel Brennan. After a hit by pitch and a walk loaded the bases, an error and a two-RBI single by sophomore Garrett Russini made it 4-0 in favor of the Hatters early on.
In the second inning a single by junior K'shawn Smith was sandwiched by a pair of Stetson walks to load the bases early in the frame. RBI sacrifice flies by Brennan and freshman Buck McCarthy, and an RBI single through the infield by freshman Carlos Garmendia pushed Stetson's lead to 7-0 heading into the third.
The Hatters' lead stayed comfortable thanks to their quality pitching inning after inning. Purposefully not using any individual more than one inning in order to get a number of guys time on the mound, the Stetson staff kept Canada shutout through seven innings of action.
"The pitchers threw strikes, and that's a big thing, especially when you go out to a lead like that," Dunn continued. "You want to go out there, throw strikes, and make them swing the bat."
Senior Kurt Schluter started things off with a perfect first inning, striking out one and forcing two ground outs to pick up the win. Junior Austin Perez, sophomore Josh Powers, and junior Cameron Griffin followed suit, giving up just two hits between the three of them to keep Stetson's lead at 7-0.
Redshirt freshman Tyler Warmoth, true freshmen Garrison Banas each came on for one inning on the mound, also combining for two hits, while walking none and striking out four.
The Stetson offense continued to back their pitchers up, scoring another three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 10-0 lead. Singles by freshman Patrick Mazeika and Russini put runners on for senior James Rasmussen, who doubled to left field, driving in a pair of runs. A single to right by freshman Konner Lutz scored Rasmussen for Stetson's 10th and final run of the game.
Canada managed to total three runs over the final two innings to make the final score 10-3 on Saturday. The Hatters finished with 10 runs on 12 hits and one error. Team Canada totaled three runs on seven hits and two errors. Schluter picked up the win, and Canada's Cal Quantrill was credited with the loss.
"It's always good to play outside competition," Dunn concluded. "I was pleased with the effort today. We had a lot of young puppies out there on the mound, defensively, and at the plate. We're not used to swinging wood bats a whole lot and I thought we did a pretty good job."
Stetson will continue fall practice and scrimmages throughout the rest of the month, and then complete the season with the annual Hatters series, which is scheduled for November 8-10 at Melching Field.

Show #3836
Steve Martin, Jenna Fischer, and Edie Brickell.
PLUS: The Late Show Earth Friendly; Reese in Trouble; Rebranding the Republican Image; the Foul-Mouthed Anchorman Lands on His Feet; the President and Kid Scientists; Meat Bugs; a Top Ten List; and Stooge of the Night.
" . . . and now, the 'B' in Rutherford B. Hayes . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
- "The George W. Bush Presidential Library is opening this week. It's the only Presidential Library with a fixin' bar."
- "The public is finally warming up to George W. Bush. So, there's hope for me."
Yesterday was Earth Day and we at the Late Show do what we can to help the environment. Have you noticed how we recycle our jokes? Well, we decided to do more. We take a look.
We've retired our coal-powered typewriter.
We see me banging away at a typewriter. Smoke emits from the IBM Wheelwriter typewriter smoke stack. Yes, that's what we use to type up the blue cards, a typewriter. We're in the process of looking for one with a plug.
Poor Reese Witherspoon. She realized her fault afterwards. A police officer was merely doing his job and she took offense. And now she's on the defense. We take a look at her mug shot. It's the familiar Nick Nolte mug shot, but now he's wearing a dress. We made pretend he was Reese Witherspoon.
The Republican National Committee put together a list of more than 200 ways they can improve their image and their brand. It inspired this segment entitled, "Republican Rebranding Recommendations." We watch.
Announce: "Number 74 --- Promote awareness of different cultures by participating in their customs and celebrations."
We see President George W. dancing with Africans. Hey, whatever works.
I imagine you're familiar with the North Dakota news anchor who was fired on his first day on the job after using profanity on the air. Well, we're happy to report he's landed on his 'givling' feet.
We take a look.
ANNOUNCE: "A. J. Clemente was fired by KFYR after this unfortunate incident on his first day."
We watch the now famous clip of his uttering, "givling djoy"
ANNOUNCE: "After being relieved of his position, A. J. Is proud to announce he's now available to come curse for you."
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
ANNOUNCE: "That's right. For a nominal fee, A. J. Clemente will curse at your corporate event,"
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
ANNOUNCE: ". . . birthday party . . .
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
ANNOUNCE: " . . . . bar mitzvah . . .
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
ANNOUNCE: " . . . or just to tell that special one you love her."
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
ANNOUNCE: "Act now, and get half off golf appearances by Tiger Woods." (See Tiger swearing into a towel) "Don't delay. Book today!"
AJ: " . . . givling djoy . . . "
President Obama invited students to participate in the White House Science Fair and he was a good sport about demonstrating the kids' creations. We take a look.
We see the President on temporarily stationary bike. The bike slips off its stand and he goes flying off camera. Oh, my. I think this is what the AP meant to report.
According to a report from the government, more than half our country's meat contains superbugs resistant to antibiotics and it's only getting worse. Luckily, help is on the way. We take a look.
ANNOUNCE: "Based on new government data, a sizable increase has been found in meat contaminated with antibiotic-resistant superbugs. But don't worry. That's why there's Scotts Turf Builder and
Superbug Killer! Simply remove your meat from its packaging and spray it down!"
We see a guy spraying his meat with the Scotts Turf Builder and Superbug Killer.
ANNOUNCE: "Water your meat daily and after three to six weeks, dinner is served!"
We see the guy eating the hunk of meat now sprouting a lush lawn.
ANNOUNCE: "Scotts Turf Builder and Super Bug Killer. Yummo!"
The guy eating the steak and Scotts was cue card guy Todd Seda. It may have been his mind playing tricks on him but he says he wasn't feeling too good afterwards.
Hey, Alan, what time is it?
ALAN: "Dave, it's time for 'Stooge of the Night!' Tonight's Stooge of the Night is Republican Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona!"
We see a photo of a smiling Senator Flake.
DAVE: "Senator Flake voted "NO" on gun-control legislation just weeks after saying, 'One thing we can all agree on is strengthening background checks' for gun buyers. Let's take another look at Jeff Flake . . . . . Good looking guy . . . . has a winning smile . . . gettin' it done! Jeff Flake: he's our Stooge of the Night."
The shot of tonight's Stooge remains for quite a while.
DAVE: "Alan?"
ALAN: "'Stooge of the Night,' brought to you by Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House. Remember, it's not a steak unless it's a Double Eagle steak.
Back to you, Dave."
TOP TEN: OTHER AP TWITTER ACCOUNT BULLETINS - the Associated Press twitter account was hacked earlier today, reporting that the White House was attacked and the President was injured. The Dow Jones dropped 150 points in two minutes.
10. "Betty White's pregnant!"
9. "Seal Team 6 captures Reese Witherspoon."
7. "Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes . . . same guy."
5. "George W. Bush to open Presidential Library . . . . . hard to believe, but that's actually true."
2. "Critics agree: Letterman at the top of his game."
I submitted two just in case needed:
- "Bieber says Gandhi would have been a Belieber"
- "Bald eagle spotted in Delaware"
I put in the bald eagle one as a reward for our nightly viewers. Sharp-eared listeners would have recognized the reference from the night before. I would rather have 10% of the viewers to get the inside joke and the other 90% left to scratch their head . . . at least once in a while.
He's excited to be invited to the show but adds, "Unfortunately, I'm currently in Europe and unable to be here." He then exits. Biff quietly explains the situation to Mr. Martin, that he IS here and not in Europe. This happens a lot more than one would think to those with a genius mind.
Steve is a brand new dad and as a brand new dad, he tends to think he is the only one to ever have a newborn. The proud dad carries around a baby monitor so he can check in on his offspring. We listen. We hear the sweet and adorable cooing of the babe. Such innocence. And then we hear a screech of a cat, the growl of a dog, a truck horn, coughing, and then the baby's banjo-playing. Steve is your typical proud daddy. The baby's name: Conquistador. Steve says it's "a statement name."
It's fun to see two comedic legends sitting together. Says Steve of Dave: "Some comedians say funny things. Some say things funny. You . . . say things."
Later, Edie Brickell joins Steve in the guest chair. Ms. Brickell performs with the Bohemians and appeared years ago on Dave's old show. I remember her either on Late Night or Saturday Night Live. She was in blue jean bell bottoms and barefoot. Oh, and she stood with her feet funny. That's my recollection, anyway. Dave recalls that Edie likes the whiskey. She says, "Oh, yeah, I like it all." I would remember something like that, too.
Steve and Edie have a new album together, "Love Has Come For You." Steve wrote most of the music; Edie the lyrics.
ANNOUNCE: "It'll be a good one tomorrow, with Dave and his guests Kate Hudson, Ricky Jay, and Selena Gomez. We'll be right back with more creative uses for old submarines."
After 9 years, "The Office" will be saying goodbye. Jenna and the cast had a great run and is one of the few shows I enjoy, though I barely watch it. What do I watch? I don't know. Sports, news, and sports, I guess. But if I watched more TV, "The Office" would be high on the list. I hope to watch the reruns in my retirement years. The final "Office" will air on May 16th. Coincidentally, Jenna's off-Broadway play, "Reasons To Be Happy" by Neil Labute, opens on May 16th, presented by MCC Theater at the Lucille Lortel Theater on 121 Christopher Street.
From their new album, "Love Has Come For You," Steve, Edie and the Rangers performed "When You Go to Ashville." The album cover is a painting done by the great Martin Mull.
And that was our show for Tuesday April 23, 2013.
That was me typing at the smoking typewriter. We taped it Monday just before the show. I was just banging on the keys not caring about gibberish. Did you notice the blue card? Yes, in the shot I had run out of room on the blue card and was typing well passed the bottom. Here's what happened. Originally I was directed to type the blue card while coughing and waving away the smoke. We did a minute of this and then we wanted to go with another shot of my simply typing without coughing, without waving away the smoke. We did this immediately after the first. I didn't even have time to put in a new blue card and by the time we finished this shot, I had exhausted card's available space. If you watched closely, you would have seen I was typing on the black roller of the typewriter.
Just before Tuesday's show, I heard we were going to do the coal-fueled typewriter and that Dave wanted the shot standing by after we showed it. I'm sure he noticed I was typing past the blue card and I was fully expecting a revisiting of the shot during the show. It never came. Those in the shack where I watch the show spotted the blue card in the typewriter being past its prime and laughed at my incompetence. Did you catch it?
Yesterday I mentioned that I made homemade lip gloss using Vaseline, pomegranate Crystal Light, and a couple drops of water. The gloss came out very cherry red and very tasty. With the leftover pomegranate, I made a delicious fruit punch with barely a calorie and gulped down a good quart of the stuff. Quite a mouthful of flavor. Five years ago did any of us ever hear of pomegranate?
This just in: sleight-of-hand artist Ricky Jay's appearance has been moved from Wednesday to Friday. Replacing Ricky will be A.J. Clemente, the 'givling djoy' anchorman.
And speaking of Martin Mull, check out his talk show "Fernwood 2-Night" and "America 2-Night" of the late 70s. Funny funny funny. To me it's still the fastest half-hour in TV history. It also featured were Jerry Hubbard and Happy Kyne and His Mirthmakers. Loved it!
I woke up the other morning to find I was urinating blood. Doh! What now? I tried to remember if I had hurt myself in any way in the past 24 hours but my passive self hasn't been hit or banged about in quite a while. How did this happen? As with any crisis in my life, I did nothing and hoped it would go away on its own. I fretted about faulty kidneys and stuff old people worry about. Had I become one of them? I made promises and deals with myself that if this blew over and turned out to be nothing that I would take better care of myself. More exercise, better eating. Some hours later I went to the bathroom again. I was afraid to look. But this time it was clear. My urine was clean! Yippee! I was all better! Halfway through I realized what the problem was. I didn't have blood in my urine . . . It was that damn pomegranate! It wasn't blood, it was pomegranate! So relieved was I, in more ways than one, that I grabbed myself a beer and some salty snacks and had a solo celebration on the back deck. It was pomegranate.
Surprise me in your will!
It's Ramapo High School alum on her birthday, the forever young Joanne Berman

A Buffalo ex-con was sentenced to eight years in prison this week for first-degree robbery and a drug charge.
Jesse Bonner, 37, of Stockbridge Avenue, had faced up to 25 years in prison after he admitted in July that he robbed two 20-year-olds at gunpoint in October 2011 on Main Street. Bonner then followed the two into an apartment building and stole their personal property, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
State Supreme Court Justice M. William Boller also sentenced Bonner to five years of post-release supervision.
Two police officers caught Bonner about two hours after the robbery.
Bonner has prior robbery and cocaine-distribution felony convictions, according to prosecutors.

I'm giddy. It's time. The fall movie season is officially in full swing. In addition to caramel apples, pumpkin anything and apple cider mixed with Butterscotch Schnapps, movie-going is my favorite part of the season. To get you excited for all those new fall flicks, I've gathered up a few that I'm looking forward to and then paired them with healthy "themed" recipes you can eat afterward while you discuss the plot and shake off your buttery popcorn/candy hangover. Remember, no texting, talking or putting your feet on the seats in front of you. You ready? Raise the curtain. Let's do this!

Hunger Games – Catching Fire
In the second installment of the series, based on the books by Suzanne Collins, Katniss and Peeta find themselves in trouble with the Capitol again when the districts of Panem begin to rebel. Before they go back to the arena for another battle, TO THE DEATH, they can't resist the decadent and often outlandish food prepared by eclectic Capitol chefs.
The "colorful" citizens of District One sure do love their Goat Cheese Tarts but the odds are definitely in your favor that these are better for you. A simple savory dish that can be served for brunch, lunch or dinner.

3" x 9" Ivory Flameless LED Pillar Candle
Reviewed by 2 customers
Comments about 3" x 9" Ivory Flameless LED Pillar Candle:
Love this LED candle! I was looking for a LED candle to go up where I cannot reach but didn't want to have to turn it on every night. Love that these have an automatic timer built inside...They come on at a certain time every night and stay on for 5 hours. Exactly was I was looking for!
Comments about 3" x 9" Ivory Flameless LED Pillar Candle:
This flameless LED timer candle met all of my expectations. I had been looking for a pair of flameless candles that also had timers, and was struggling to find any that weren't priced so far out of my budget. I got these candles on sale, the size and color I needed and with a timer for $11.24/each...a steal. And I would have paid full price at just $14.99/each.

When I was a little girl, I loved Christmas. It was most definitely, "The most wonderful time of the year."
Ever since I can recall, I helped my mom with the baking. And when I say baking, I mean BAKING. It was an all-day, sometimes two-day adventure.
I remember going to church on Christmas Eve and then rushing over to my grandma's house for chili and clam chowder. It never sounded strange until I just typed it out...Does anyone else have this on Christmas Eve?
Then, my two older brothers and I would crawl into bed (I always insisted on just sleeping in my underwear JUST like they did) after we strategically placed cookies and milk on the fireplace. Plus, some carrots for the reindeer of course.
Then, we would wake up bright and early Christmas morning, peek in our stockings and shake the "Santa gift." We always had to wait until my dad got home from feeding cattle, so the anticipation only grew and grew. Finally, we got to open.
I remember when I was Emaleigh's age, I wrote Santa a letter and left my third-grade picture lying next to it. I was in disbelief (and I still am) that Santa took my picture. I imagined him opening his wallet and placing it in the little plastic envelope to show Mrs. Claus when he got home.
Anyway, after it looked like Santa barfed all over the living room floor, we would head over to my other grandma's house. We ate dinner and opened presents there as well. The gifts usually consisted of matching sweatsuits (for the girls anyway), that we immediately put on to compare. Then, after our bellies were full, it was time to go home.
I loved Christmas, and now with my own little family, I love it even more.
I have loved starting a few of these traditions with my own family and adding a few of our own. We might not have chili and clam chowder, but we make sure to have green chile. Emaleigh and Elijah have a sleepover, making plans to "catch Santa." Emaleigh each year is the official Angel Tree Topper.
My favorite part of Christmas has now been handed down to my kids. It's amazing to see Christmas through your child's eyes, to see that magic and realize that there really is still good in the world. It's about family and friends, and of course the birth of Jesus.
In the nine years Ray and I have been married, we have never done Christmas cards. Last year, we sent out a Christmas video. This year, we (well, I) wanted to do a Christmas rap...but we haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. So, I'll just take this opportunity to share the few verses I have:
"And what to my wandering eyes did appear,
But three little kids and their dad brewing beer.
Word to their mom...she now writes a blog,
While loungin' in her Snuggie and sippin' egg nog."
Merry Christmas from the Mondragon family to yours!
Caiti Mondragon is married with three children. Read her Tuesdays on Greeley Moms and at her personal blog.
It\'s amazing to see Christmas through your child\'s eyes, to see that magic and realize that there really is still good in the world.

Maryland State Police are resuming boat searches this week for missing Queen Anne's County woman Robin Pope.
It's been nearly two weeks since the 51-year-old vanished after a visit to her estranged husband's home in Stevensville to pick up some of her things.
Trooper said more than 200 people were out in full force this weekend to help in the search. The community-wide effort was organized by family and friends in the Chesapeake and surrounding region.
Robin's dog was found during searches last weekend dead from natural causes near a pier at a neighboring home.
Anyone with information should call state police at 410-758-1101.

Not Your Personal Army. Originated on the 4chan's /b/ as a response to any person that would try to exploit the /b/tards in order to achieve some sort of personal revenge (i.e. raid requests). Can be bent to fit a broad range of situations where an individual seeks help, but does so in an inapropriate place, tries to hide his real intent behind a stupid facade, or is simply too annoying and persistent to deserve better.

Just days ago, we Americans were at each other's throats, figuratively speaking. Passions were high and much of the rhetoric was shrill as we prepared for the presidential election last Tuesday.
Today we pause to recognize those among us who are and have been responsible for the only part of our government that has, beyond any argument, worked well for more than two centuries: the United States armed forces.
Veterans Day is set aside to honor the millions of men and women who have served us in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
Much is said during election campaigns about public service. Some candidates are even touted as having made sacrifices for their communities, states and nation.
Veterans Day is a reminder of real service and real sacrifice for our nation.
Sometimes our country's leaders and opinion molders talk about using diplomacy instead of armed force to safeguard our interests. While it is true that sometimes it can work, it is feasible only, as the late President Theodore Roosevelt noted, when we are able to wield a "big stick" even as we speak softly.
Rest assured that had our military not been the most fearsome force for good in all history, the power of evil would have overcome us many times in the past. It still exists today, ready to pounce if we show weakness.
No service to the public comes close, then, to what our men and women in uniform have done for us.
They have served at great cost to themselves, their families, their communities and their nation. Many of the hundreds of thousands of lives lost protecting us truly have been the best and brightest in America. What wonderful things might they have accomplished had they returned to civilian life?
How many widows has the bravery of those who served created? How many children have had to grow up without fathers or mothers? How many proud yet heartbroken parents have been forced to do what they had prayed could not happen - bury their children?
By the hundreds of thousands, many who served came home broken in body and/or mind, often struggling with everyday tasks the rest of us take for granted.
Even those who came home healthy have sacrificed much.
Think for just a moment about having to leave your home, family, friends, school or career for months, perhaps years on end. In many ways, the time lost by our veterans can never be replaced.
We owe them debts we can never truly understand, much less repay.
On Veterans Day, as a nation, we pause to reflect on that.
And we say "thank you" - from our hearts.
May God bless the millions of men and women who have served and are serving us today.
