GENESEE COUNTY, MI – Over four days, MLive-Flint Journal staff looked at the issue of suicide, its prevalence in Genesee County and impact it has in the community.
Over a four-year period, more than a 200 people in the county took their own life. Local mental health officials urged awareness and encouraged everyone to know how to find resources to help someone thinking about suicide.
Community members took notice of the #iwantyoutoknow project, spreading the word, sharing it through social media or leaving a comment.
Many said it was something they thought needed to be said.
"From my high school days at Lakeville to my college days down south, we've see it happen," said Jeffrey Fillmore, 53, of Flint. "I think (the project is) a great thing to do and to show that the community does care. Hopefully some of these young ones ... they can get a clue on it and get a grasp on it, what the overall picture is."
Fillmore, who is a volunteer for the social media group Flint Police Operations, shared the project and video on the group's Facebook page, saying he didn't hesitate a minute.
To him it was one of those stories that need to be told, he said.
"To me it's all about sharing the story," Fillmore said. "I think it's about looking at it, viewing it and sharing it with other people and then talk about the short- and long-term impact of what suicide means. I think that's the whole point."
As a parent himself, Fillmore said he also hopes parents learn to stay engaged and active in their children's lives no matter how old they are. His hope is that people will continue to talk about the topic.
Groups like Genesee Health Plan, Flint's Club 93.7, Carman-Ainsworth school district, the Michigan Women's Commission, the Flint Local 432, Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, Team Revelation MMA, a mixed martial arts group in Flint and even one from the UK spread the word of the video on Twitter.
Join the conversation on Twitter by using #iwantyoutoknow.
The video featured a variety of people -- including Gov. Rick Snyder, students, sports stars Mateen Cleaves and Claressa Shields, rap artist Jon Connor, a family of a young suicide victim, even ex-convicts – all of whom cared enough to speak out on suicide and help in the effort.Ricky Burns, on-air personality for radio station Club 93.7, said when he was a freshman in high school he knew someone who committed suicide. It doesn't seem real until it happens, he said.
"I had no idea it was such a big issue," Burns said. "They always talk about someone who dies tragically, shooting. I had no idea this amount of people were affected (by suicide)."
That is why he chose to spread the word through social media and on his show.
People are losing their lives. Young people are losing their lives. So if sharing this message helps at least one person, it was well worth it, Burns said.
"I want you to know that you still have people. Even though you lose people and they might feel like they aren't by your side. There's always somebody there," Burns said.
MLive-Flint Journal staff started taking a deeper look at suicide after 17-year-old Josh Pacheco, a junior at Linden High School, committed suicide.
When 16-year-old Alana Steele watched the video, she cried. She saw herself on the video talking about her best friend Josh Pacheco, who committed suicide in November.
"It was really emotional for me," Alana said. "I'm glad it's getting out there. I'm glad it's being talked about."
What Alana liked most about the video was the message, she said.
It's such a serious issue, it shouldn't be ignored, said Alana, a junior at Linden High School.
"People should know they don't have to be ashamed of how they feel. They need to know there's hope," she said.
Linden Superintendent Ed Koldeo said the #iwantyoutoknow tagline is powerful and leaves it open for many different things that people want to say.
"It was moving. There were so many different people. The point came across well that this affects a lot of people in our community," Koledo said.
Koledo said he hopes that anyone who is thinking of suicide will wait one more day and check one more time with their friends before making the decision.
Although the school district has been in session for only one day since the video debut, Koledo said he's heard from a few teachers who thought the video was powerful and appreciated it.
Danis Russell, CEO of Genesee County Community Mental Health, agreed that the video was powerful.
He hopes the community realizes there is help out there and suicide is something that should be talked about.
"I think (the project) is important because it's something that does not get talked about a great deal. There is still that stigma of mental health and that stigma around suicide. Not too many people proclaim that my loved one committed suicide. There is always that guilt," Russell said, adding his own message. "You don't have to fight this on your own. There are people that care and there is help available.
"I hope (community members) take away that it is not hopeless. It is not uncommon to have those types of feels or those types of thoughts. It does not make you some sort of outcast. ... I think society needs to get over that those types of emotions are bad and a sign of weakness."

"The comment that stood out to me in this video was "Popularity in High School doesn't define you for the rest of your life." School days are just one chapter in your book of life. Past that, there are so many more good memories to make.
A member of Calvary Church in Grand Rapids found the timing of the project perfect.
'Our lives are not all mountain tops'"
"It may be that no one can really understand the despair that you feel right now. God's truth is that He sees you and He is reaching out to you.
At Calvary Church, our weekly schedule is set months in advance. A message on suicide happened to fall this week, and we were surprised to see the #iwantyoutoknow campaign this morning. It seemed like we should share here.
You can listen to the message here: http://media.calvarygr.org/sunam/01-27-13A2.mp3

There are many good places to call if you need help ... but we would be glad to talk to you."
Shanedr wrote:
"Youth suicide rates are higher among Gay and Lesbian students: so acceptance would be a critical first step in alleviating that issue."
Crystalball13 said the issue of suicide needs to become a community-wide concern.
"The first step towards suicide is to lose all hope. Until you restore their hope you cannot stop someone from committing suicide. They have to believe that tomorrow will be better and using logic or religion is unlikely to alleviate their despair. You have to go to the root cause of their despair."
"I agree with Marjory (about the reasoning behind the project), we don't talk enough about it and the part that is disappointing is that it is not talked about until another young life has been lost to suicide. I have dealt with plenty of suicides young and old. ... This topic needs to be dealt with on a regular basis especially in schools. Teens these days are dealing with so much moore peer pressure to fit in, to get good grades, be a great athlete and to make everyone happy, way much more than it was when I was in school. ... I wish there was more I could do to prevent this from occurring. But only us as society as a whole can take action and make a change."

Not only that, it's very tasty stuff.
Have tried lots of coffee and rooibos tea. Still in misery. I can't wait until Tuesday morning when I can see the urologist. Cripe!
To palebluedots, yikes. I hope you feel better soon. Don't drink rooibos by the cup, drink it by the pot, several per day. You poor thing. That sounds awful.
Have you been drinking lemon juice in water? The more the better.
That will be most helpful since acidifying the urine can help to dissolve the buildup.
Though... at this stage... it's a bit late in the game. .
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

After my first foray into ombre afro hair in June of this year, the colour was beginning to fade and I wanted something a little more noticeable.
I also wanted to get rid of the highlights framing my face so was very pleased to be asked to review the new Daniel Mikhael salon in Marble Arch, London.
After walking past the armed guards outside Tony Blair's London residence, it's a two minute walk to the Daniel Mikhael salon in Porchester Place. It's small yet perfectly formed and the team are very friendly. They also serve the best coffee I've ever had.
I'd taken in a piece of weave to illustrate the colour I was after but after a consultation with the colourist and the stylist, we decided my skin tone would look better with a warmer and lighter colour.
The team were completely unfazed by my natural (3c) afro hair; a sign of a good hairdresser in my opinion. My hair was coloured by Mariola who decided to cover my old highlights with Schwarzkopf semi permanent rich dark brown and to add a mixture of two ammonia free Schwarzkopf colours to create the ombre look at the ends of my hair. She said she was going to use the least amount of colour as possible to try and keep my hair in good condition.
My stylist on the day was Fadi Fawaz who has worked on the tresses of Emily Blunt, Naomi Campbell, Girls Aloud and the Pussycat Dolls so I knew I was in good hands. He told me they get a lot of clients from the Middle East who tend to have thick, coarse hair so working on afro hair was no great challenge.
Prior to having my hair coloured, two inches of hair was cut off the ends to create a very blunt finish and also to show the colourist the finished length so she knew where and how much colour to use.
Before she applied the colour to the ends she back combed and weaved each section so I could have a softer line as she created the dip dye look. Although it took longer, no heat was used to accelerate the colouring process as it is more damaging to fragile afro hair.
Once the dye had been washed out (at a sink with a fully reclining chair, very comfy) Fadi added Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick, Aveda Light Elements Smoothing Fluid and generous amounts of Argan Oil to my hair before blow drying with a large round brush. After going over the hair with GHDs he very carefully and precisely cut my hair into a long blunt bob and after much too-ing and fro-ing on my part, added a full, blunt fringe.
If you're after a good on trend cut and especially if you want colour, you have to visit the Daniel Mikhael salon. They know their stuff, take your lifestyle into consideration before they even pick up the scissors and can create the best colours I've ever seen. As customers came and went during my time in the chair, the common denominator was really good colour. When my hair needs doing again, this is where I'll be going.

Babymouse: Camp Babymouse by Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm (Random House, 2007)
$5.99, Amazon / IndieBound / Powell's
The sixth installment of the Babymouse series finds our heroine at summer camp. She doesn't like the great outdoors, but that fact shouldn't get in the way of her having fun, right? Babymouse has her usual daydreams of how she'll be the best camper around, but all she finds is trouble. Babymouse's cabin-mates, the Buttercups, soon become frustrated with her shenanigans, as she racks up nothing but demerits for her team.
The illustrations are as fun and humorous as ever, in the familiar black, white, and pink color scheme. Graphic novels are incredibly popular with tweens and teens, so it follows that younger kids want them as well. Those for the very young — especially for young girls — are few and far between but gaining a foothold. Here is a well-established series that fills that void with a spirited, likable, adventurous character. 96 pages.

How to Take Successful Stock Photos
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Microstock is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. As businesses are actively looking for cost savings, the benefit of sourcing stock images from subscription-based image libraries is increasingly apparent. Equally, photographers are realising that this is a valuable source of additional income.
Shutterstock is the world's largest subscription-based online stock image library with over 7 million images in its collection, growing by over 70,000 images weekly.
The company attributes its growth and success to two important factors.
The first is Shutterstock's popular and innovative subscription plans, which encourages multiple downloads.
The other is its unique 'crowdsourcing' model, whereby photographers submit their work and are compensated each time a subscriber downloads their image.
Here are Shutterstock's top tips for budding stock photographers:
Taking Photos
1. The purpose of stock photography is to help sell or promote a product, service, or idea - it isn't enough to take a technically sound image. The image needs to sell itself.
2. Spend time browsing through other successful images in Shutterstock's collection to learn the characteristics of a good stock photo before submitting.
3. Avoid rushing out and capturing anything that looks interesting without considering the following elements: framing, focus, composition, noise, lighting, and keyword selection. Plan ahead; visualise the scene beforehand and take a couple of test shots.
4. Consider your subject and use the right equipment to create your image. Planning to shoot a detail of a flower? Use a dedicated macro lens for the best results. Since equipment can be expensive, think about what you like to take pictures of and try to purchase gear that will allow you to make the most of your creativity.
5. When creating images with models (whether hired for a shoot or family members) you must submit Model Releases. Model Releases protect you as the photographer as well as the agency representing your work.
6. Do not submit dark or muddy travel pictures or 'snapshots.' Photos with heavy shadows from the on-camera flash are generally not well-suited for stock. Learn to look at light and how it falls on your subject. If using the sun as your main light source, consider this: A landscape view will vary throughout the day according to the position of the sun in the sky. Try visiting your scene at different times of day to see how the light changes your perspective on the scene overall. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that shooting in the early morning or early evening is dramatically different than shooting at midday. Also, make sure your images have a clear topic and focus.

how to capture pics of moving objects?please let me know.
wow nice photo!! and nice tips for budding stock photographers
Basic "tablestakes". Missing several critical points to making successful stock images:
simple theme/story message, simple yet captivating image, clear subject (actual or implied), capable of taking text/captions etc within the border of the image (clear negative space) and must speak to the observer not you so look critically at your image
cyborg: three types of motion for you to research: implied, blur and panning (credit to Harry Nowell - look up his stuff - great work).
I just saw the photo of the runner on a billboard at a Sports Psychology conference I was working in SLC. Great article. Thanks for the tips. Now to get more "Stock" focus in my shooting. - MM

These are just stunning stock picks! I don't know if I could ever be that good on my own. That's just pure talent.

Dear Miss Manners: I'm in the process of applying to law schools. Most schools require that you submit three letters of recommendation.
Last August, I asked three former colleagues if they would mind submitting letters on my behalf. All three of them enthusiastically agreed. At the time, I told them that I would need the letters to be sent in around November, since admissions are rolling and I would have a better shot at acceptance if my applications were completed earlier.
It's now approaching mid-January, and none of my recommenders has submitted a letter.
While I understand that schedules are busy, final deadlines are in February, and I'm concerned that my applications will not be completed. I sent each of these colleagues a handwritten letter in August thanking them for agreeing to write letters for me and again in early December, updating them on my progress.
What is the polite way to remind these people about the recommendations? If they no longer wish to write these letters on my behalf, I need to know as soon as possible so that I may find replacements.
Gentle Reader: Nobody is too busy to write a letter. Miss Manners keeps hearing that anguished cry – from bridal couples, from young people whose relatives shower them with presents, from friends of the bereaved – but it arouses no sympathy in her steely heart.
She has a pretty good idea of how these people spend the discretionary time that they grudge others – and many of whom have just spent time and thought on pleasing them.
In the case of recommendations, there could be another, equally culpable, element. It is possible that they didn't want to recommend you, in which case they should have said immediately that they didn't feel they could do you justice. But as they were all enthusiastic at the time, Miss Manners suspects the rudeness is due to laziness.
You have done all you can, except to find other letter writers immediately and caution them that it must be done that very day to meet the looming deadline.
'Tired' is not a compliment
Dear Miss Manners: I told my pregnant daughter-in-law that she looked good but tired. She took offense to this by saying that wasn't a compliment. I was just stating what I thought was a fact. Was it rude of me?
Gentle Reader: It is certainly tiresome. Miss Manners is as puzzled as your daughter-in-law why many people seem to think that this is a helpful remark.
To make it so, please amend it to, "You must be tired – tell me what I can do for you so that you have time to take a rest."

DETROIT – The energy and offensive lift the injury-riddled Detroit Red Wings received from a pair of young players Friday was negated by mistakes committed by a few veterans.
The Red Wings competed step-for-step with surging Anaheim for 40 minutes. But, in a flash it seemed, the Ducks pounced on a couple of turnovers and scored twice in a 48-second span early in the third period to snap a tie.
That was the difference in Anaheim's 5-2 victory at Joe Louis Arena.
"In this league, if you turn the puck over at the blue line, bad things happen,'' Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard said. "Just a couple mistakes there and it wound up in the back of our net. That's the difference between winning and losing in this league.''
A neutral-zone turnover by Niklas Kronwall enabled Saku Koivu to set up Andrew Cogliano, who raced to the net and redirected a pass past Howard at 1:02 of the third, giving the Ducks the lead for good at 3-2. Jakub Kindl was too far up the ice on the play and couldn't get back to cover Cogliano.
Bobby Ryan then scored on a two-on-one with Teemu Selanne at 1:50, following a neutral-zone turnover by Ian White during a bad change by the Red Wings. Ryan banged home his own rebound.
"Until that time, we played a good game,'' said Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg, whose team fell to 7-5-2. "We battled good the first period and took over the game in the second. We felt good going out for the third, but unfortunately those two quick ones kind of killed the game."
Said coach Mike Babcock: "The turnover on the set breakout. We had the D up ahead with a forward, and I don't know why we did that, and then near our bench there was (a turnover) as well.''
Prior to that, the Ducks had tied it 2-2 at 7:37 of the second period after White's stick broke while he attempted an outlet pass from behind his net.
"I think we're giving up too many easy goals,'' Zetterberg said. "The second one is a tough one, the stick breaks. But the two goals in the third period, we should be able to treat the puck better. You can't give those up, they're too skilled when you get the two-on-ones. You see they're really good snipers and the puck's in the net."
The loss overshadowed good performances from Tomas Tatar and Joakim Andersson, recently recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins. Each had a goal and an assist.
"It was unfortunate because I thought we set ourselves up pretty good in the third period,'' Babcock said. "You're playing a good team, obviously we're short-staffed, but the guys were playing good, and in the end it didn't work out the way we wanted.''
Pavel Datsyuk was the latest Red Wing to be idled. His is day-to-day with a bruised shoulder, Babcock said.
He joined forwards Johan Franzen (hip flexor), Todd Bertuzzi (back), Mikael Samuelsson (groin) and Darren Helm (back), as well as defensemen Brendan Smith (shoulder) and Carlo Colaiacovo (shoulder) as regulars who are sidelined.
The Ducks (10-2-1) snapped an eight-game losing streak at Joe Louis Arena, where they were 1-17-0 in their previous 18 games.
Rookie goaltender Viktor Fasth made 26 saves to improve to 7-0-0.
Each team scored twice in the second period following a scoreless first.
Andersson opened the scoring with his first NHL goal at 3:01. He took a nice pass from Kindl, skated to the net and went top-shelf on Fasth.
"I saw that there was a lot of net open there and I thought Kindl made a nice play,'' Andersson said. "I don't think that Fasth was ready for that play. He gave me, basically, an open net.
"The first goal would be a lot more fun if we had won the game.''
Matt Beleskey tied it at 3:27, firing in a shot from the slot. Ryan Getzlaf won an offensive-zone faceoff from Zetterberg and set up Beleskey with a backhand pass.
Tatar responded at 6:32 on the power play with his second goal in as many games. He corralled the rebound of a shot by Damien Brunner, cut in front of the net and fired it in.
"When somebody's injured, it's our time to show up like we can play here,'' Tatar said. "We got to step up and replace those guys. Unfortunately, we lost.''
Anaheim closed it out with the next three goals, including Cogliano's second of the night, into an empty net, with 1:49 to play.

I have been to New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington in recent weeks. In those cities, at least, you cannot watch the news, pass street vendors selling T-shirts, or browse magazine racks at the grocery store and not feel good about our next president, his family, and our nation's future.
There is an air of something big, something grand, something electric about to explode upon us. Barack Obama's visage is everywhere. His relaxed and reassuring - even beatific - smile is omnipresent. So are his irrepressibly cute girls and their together mom.

Spanish Paella
Ever wonder what the heck you should make the day before Thanksgiving? I do! I usually get so into the actual Thanksgiving meal itself, I forget that I have a bunch of hungry mouths to feed the day before Thanksgiving too!
Here's what I'm thinking. I vote for a 1 pot dish. Something that involves almost NO clean up that can feed a crowd and will make everyones tummys happy. So basically in my mind, that means Paella. Paella stuffed to the brim with lots of seafood and spices! It's a totally different flavor profile than Thanksgiving dinner so it's kind of the perfect solution to your Wednesday night meal next week.
Am I right? Who doesn't love paella.
Mine is a Spanish Paella so I used some fab spanish chorizo that I picked up from Whole Foods. The chorizo really just adds such a depth of flavor to this dish! The chorizo shines through and compliments the additional spices that I add in when cooking the rest of the dish! It also has some paprika and oregano dusted chicken, along with mussels, clams and shrimp! What's not to love?
I mean if you were feeling extra special and decadent you could add some lobster to this too. It's the holidays after all. We're supposed to indulge a little at this time of year right? I mean why else did they invent stretchy yoga pants and juice cleanses. Hello!! 🙂
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Spanish chorizo sausages, thickly sliced on a bias
- 1 Spanish onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups short- or medium-grain Spanish rice
- 3 cups water
- generous pinch Saffron Threads
- 10 littleneck clams, cleaned
- 10 mussels, cleaned
- 10 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
- lemon wedges, for serving
- Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper to taste
- Combine the paprika and dried oregano in a small bowl.
- Rub the paprika mixture all over the chicken and marinate chicken for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat the oil in a 15-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo to the pan and sauté the chorizo until browned. Remove and reserve chorizo.
- Add chicken to the pan and brown on all sides, turning with tongs until fully cooked. Season with salt and cracked pepper. Remove from pan and reserve. In the same pan, sauté the onions, garlic and parsley for 2 or 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Add the fire-roasted tomatoes and cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes to let the flavors come together. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains in the mixture. Add the water and simmer for 10 minutes, slowly stirring the rice. Add chicken and chorizo back to the pan along with the saffron. Add the clams, mussels and shrimp, tucking them into the rice. Continue to cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, the shrimp is cooked and the mussels and clams have opened, about 15 minutes more.
- Add the peas and toss to combine. If any of the clams or mussels do not open, discard them before serving. When the paella is done, turn up the heat to high and toast the rice on the bottom of the pan for 30 seconds. Remove the paella from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve with the extra lemon wedges and season with Sea Salt or Cracked Black Pepper to taste if needed.
I am so excited you are making one of my recipes and I would love to see how it turns out. Make sure to share it on instagram and tag me @whatsgabycookin so I can see your masterpiece!

In Brief: Tooth Fairy backs off on payments
There's new evidence that the economy isn't recovering -- at least not if you're a kid banking on a few missing teeth for a stream of income.
A new survey says the amount American children are collecting from the Tooth Fairy has fallen 8 percent to $3.40 per tooth. That news comes from Visa today in recognition of what is apparently National Tooth Fairy Day.
The good news is that the long-term trend is still a good one.
At $3.40, the going rate for incisors and canines is up 31 percent from the $2.60 the Tooth Fairy was paying as recently as 2011.
"The Tooth Fairy has had her wings clipped," said Jason Alderman, Visa's vice president of global financial education and a personal finance expert.
Hostess closes bakery where Twinkie created
About 400 people will lose their jobs and a piece of American baking history will shut down when Hostess Brands closes the suburban Chicago bakery where the Twinkie was invented.
Hostess said it will close the bakery in Schiller Park in October. The bakery reopened a little more than a year ago following Hostess' 2012 bankruptcy.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Fair Use and Intellectual Property: Defending the Balance
We've written many times about the need for comprehensive patent reform to stop innovation-killing trolls. While we continue to push for reform in Congress, there are a number of steps that companies and inventors can take to keep from contributing to the patent troll problem. These steps include pledges and defensive patent licenses. In recent years, companies like Twitter and Tesla have promised not to use their patents offensively.
Some day, your life may depend on the work of a security researcher. Whether it's a simple malfunction in a piece of computerized medical equipment or a malicious compromise of your networked car, it's critically important that people working in security can find and fix the problem before the worst happens.
And yet, an expansive United States law, passed in 1998 and emulated in legal codes all over the world, casts a dark legal cloud over the work of those researchers. It gives companies a blunt instrument with which to threaten that research, keeping potentially embarrassing or costly errors from seeing the light of day.
Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act forbids a wide range of speech, from remix videos that rely upon circumvention, to academic security research, to publication of software that can help repair your car or back up your favorite show. It potentially implicates the entire range of speech that relies on access to copyrighted works or describes flaws in access controls—even where that speech is clearly noninfringing.
If you only listened to entertainment industry lobbyists, you'd think that music and film studios are fighting a losing battle against copyright infringement over the Internet. Hollywood representatives routinely tell policymakers that the only response to the barrage of online infringement is to expand copyright or even create new copyright-adjacent rights.
When Universities Sell Patents to Trolls, Publicly Funded Research Is Compromised
There's been a lot of talk lately about the state of publicly funded research. Many, including EFF, have long called on Congress to pass a law requiring that publicly funded research be made available to the public.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Grand Rapids Community College has named its new state-of-the-art culinary addition "The Pietro and Regina Amphitheater," honoring the grandparents of longtime supporter, businessman and philanthropist Peter Secchia.
The 54-seat amphitheater will be used for teaching, cooking demonstrations and special events. The $765,000 renovation of the classroom, located inside the Wisner-Bottrall Applied Technology Center, was funded entirely through private donations.
RELATED: GRCC to unveil state-of-the-art addition to culinary program
"My grandparents were just wonderful people," Secchia said at the unveiling, nothing that his dying grandfather said to him don't ever forget me. "I am very proud of all of these students and really honored to be celebrating that Pietro and Regina are still alive and their spirit is in this room."
The amphitheater is equipped with three 60-inch video monitors, giving students an up-close view as instructors prepare dishes and work through lesson plans. The cameras in the room are controlled electronically. The room also features a wine cooler, 25-foot granite island, and all stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove with induction burners, a broiler, and deep fryer.
"The addition of this facility will enrich the teaching and learning experience for our culinary students," GRCC President Steven Ender said in a statement. Ender could not attend the dedication because he is at a conference in Iowa. "
"The amphitheater will allow us to expand the programs we offer to people in the West Michigan community, which continues to be an important goal for us."
Around 500 students are enrolled in GRCC's culinary program. College leaders say the Secchia Institute for Culinary Education is already considered one of the top community college culinary programs in the nation and this addition strengthens its position.
"I think it is wonderful and can't wait for our first class in here," said culinary student, Doris Lewis. "It will be nice to watch the presentation on the monitors."
Student Levi Knoll said the facility is impressive with the top-of-the-line appliances and he thought the monitors will be helpful to observe instruction.
"This is as good as it gets," said Dan Gendler, Secchia Institute for Culinary Education program director.
"The support of individuals like Mr. and Mrs. Secchia, and everyone who contributed to make this amphitheater a reality, has helped elevate GRCC and our culinary program to the national level that it is today this is a great day for us," Gendler said.
"This facility is a tribute to all of our friends and donors, including the Secchia Family," said Andy Bowne, associate vice president for College Advancement and Foundation executive director. "This is a great moment for not just our culinary program but for all of GRCC."
Approximately 60 people came to the unveiling in which Secchia cut a ribbon made of sugar.
"My grandparents came over here in the early 1900s and they cooked, they raised fruit, they cooked vegetables, and they were really particular how they cooked and what you ate and when you ate it," Secchia told the crowd.
"My grandfather Pietro used to say 'Mangia bene' which means 'Eat well' because he believed that's what you always did after a hard day's work," said Secchia, who has been a generous benefactor to GRCC. "Everyone knew that he cooked with all the love and attention that go into genuine Northern Italian cooking, and that's the spirit we hope to bring to culinary program with this amphitheater."

Friends searching for clues to what went wrong have focused on Benoit's relationship with Nancy Benoit, 43, who often complained she felt like a single mother because of her husband's constant touring.
Former neighbor Melissa Coppage recalls asking Nancy recently if she had any vacation plans. "She said, 'No, it's all wrestling, all the time.' "
But several of Benoit's friends describe the 40-year-old as a devoted father and husband – who, apparently at Nancy's request last year, took a four-month leave from work to be with her while she recovered from surgery.
"He wasn't a monster," Benoit's friend and former wrestler Dean Malenko tells PEOPLE. "We're talking about a guy who, a month ago, was in Jacksonville and rather than drive down to Orlando, where he needed to be the next day, he took a flight to be home with [his son] Daniel."
In 2003, Nancy filed for divorce from Benoit, saying he had threatened her. But the couple then reconciled.
Questions about the health of the couple's son, Daniel, also remain central to the mystery. Two days after the bodies were discovered, the WWE suggested through its attorney that the boy may have suffered from a medical condition known as Fragile X syndrome, a form of retardation often accompanied by autism.
Still, the pro-wrestling organization, through its attorney Jerry McDevitt, insists the boy's health was an issue and "a source of tension in the relationship between Chris and Nancy."
For more on this story, including exclusive photos of the Benoit family, a look at the WWE and profiles of other wrestlers who died young, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday


text: Identical twins Evan and Jaron Lowenstein, 30, make perfect brothers in harmony on this EP featuring six new songs and three previously released bonus tracks. Continuing in the melodic guitar-pop vein of their 2001 hit "Crazy for This Girl," Half Dozen serves up such tasty tunes as the first single "What She Likes," a country-tinged ditty whose sunny vocals and jaunty beat belie the heartbreak lyric: "I should have known that I never could have known enough about her to keep her mine." Evan & Jaron, who split songwriting, guitar and keyboard duties, also juxtapose the bitterness of love gone wrong with the sweetness of their harmonies on hook-heavy tracks like "Another Mistake" ("I'm just another mistake that you're not gonna make") and "Fly Away" ("You can fly away if you want to/ Just don't crash on me when you hit the ground"). They will, to quote a Beatle-esque ballad here, make you "smile through the blue."

Sefton Resources says scope for growth is considerable as it updates on oil sales from KansasMonday, February 11th, 2013
Sefton Resources (LON:SER) said it has established oil production in north-east Kansas.
It also announced its gas pipeline has been certified and is in the process of being tied to the interstate system.
The group said it is in discussions with suppliers who would pay to use the re-established transmission system.
In the same update the group revealed 550 barrels of oil have been sold since the "latter part of 2012" when efforts began to re-establish production on its Kansas leases. Monthly production is around 300 barrel mark.
The early work has focused on three key leases with wells capable of economic oil production.
Its efforts have included replacing and repairing surface facilities such as tanks, flow lines and salt water disposal facilities, as well as electrical services, down-hole equipment and surface pumps.
Chairman Jim Ellerton said: "Kansas E&P operations are now generating revenue from oil sales with plans for a steady increase of such.
"The scope for growth in Kansas is considerable, especially as gas sales are added over the coming months.
"We look forward to being able to make regular production updates from Kansas and demonstrate the validity of our growth strategy for this business."

At 10, Lively plays the Tooth Fairy in her father Ernie's film Sandman, which never has a theatrical release. "My whole family's in the business," Lively says on Today in 2005 of her actor-director father and her acting coach mother, Elaine. "I never really went after it, just because it was already so much a part of my life."
While a student at Burbank High School in L.A., Lively gets her first professional acting gig when she is cast in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The film, which costars Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn, is based on Ann Brashares' best-selling teen novels and centers around lifelong friends who spend their first summer apart, but connect by shipping a pair of jeans to each other.
Lively brings boyfriend Kelly Blatz (right), her costar in the 2006 thriller Simon Says, to the L.A. premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. They are photographed kissing and hugging on the red carpet. "I've had a crush on him since second grade," she tells the Boston Herald in 2005. "He finally came around this year."

ATTICA – The fire involving recyclable materials at Hillcrest Industries was finally extinguished Sunday. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
The EPA remains on-site to arrange the plastic and glass piles to a manageable size to avoid re-ignition. A fire management and temperature monitoring plan will be in place until the material is processed and removed from the site.
On Sept. 29, the EPA began work to put out the fire. Since then, nearly 49,000 cubic yards of material was moved and, where necessary, cooled. There is still some visible steam coming from parts of the pile, as the material is warmer than the outside air, officials said.
Recent results of air monitoring show no detectable levels of volatile organic compounds. Levels of particles have also been very low throughout most of the work, the EPA said. Data from previous lab-analyzed results are posted on the EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/removal/hillcrest/index.html and will be updated as the agency gets more results.

The engaged parents of six have said that they plan to work together again, this time on a film written by Jolie. There's no word on a title or possible subject matter, but hey, remakes are hot right now. Should they decide to take the do-over route, here are a few suggestions of classics that we would love to see remade, Brangelina style:
Bonnie and Clyde
A couple united by guns, money and sparkling banter. Just as fun as Mr. and Mrs. Smith – but with great 1930s fashions.
Beauty and the Beast
No, not the Disney cartoon; the live-action French version from 1946. Jolie's already got her Oscar; maybe Pitt can get his by going the Charlize Theron in Monster route and hiding that pretty face behind some prosthetics. (Worked for Nicole Kidman, too.)
Adam's Rib
The off-screen romance dynamic worked for Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in this film. Battle of the sexes in a courtroom? We've seen the sparks that fly when these two go toe-to-toe with each other.
Lethal Weapon
Why must these almost-spouses play romantic leads? Time to update a classic buddy movie. Her for the maverick cop played by Mel Gibson, and him for the veteran officer originated by Danny Glover.
Mary Poppins
They both know about raising kids – and Brad's Irish accent in Guy Ritchie's Snatch is proof he's up to the task of a cockney twang required for the role of Burt the chimney sweep, made famous by Dick Van Dyke.

I bought BF3 today and upon trying to access the multiplayer I was told 'Player too young' and being 27 I was rather confused. I searched through BF and Xbox forums and all I found was posts about changing your account to an adult account, I dont have the option to do so through my xbox but I wouldn't think I would have to. I made my account 5-6 years ago but I am confident I provided all the correct details. Is there any way to check account details (ie. date of birth) or could someone give me a solution.
im not to sure ethier but if you go to the inside xbox channle scroll along to the end or till you find school of xbox then look though them they explain with a vid
Sign into your WLID account on the web and check what you have listed as your date of birth.
I'm in the exact same boat. I'm 21, listed my Bday right, and still no dice.
I have tried everything and anything on the xbox and windows live websites. I plan to call xbox customer support in the morning, I will post what I find out.
It would be something you'd need to take up with EA rather than MS since you're trying to connect to their servers with an EA account.
Ryder Cup: 10-6 up and you blew it? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh wait you serious? Let me laugh even harder BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I just spent the last 3 hours dealing with this. EA did everything they could on their end and said my correct Date of birth is in their system. Called microsoft and they said they cannot do anything to help the situation over the phone but referred me to the forums and promptly hung up on me! This is bologna!
I saw another post saying that i have to wait until the account DoB reaches 18, how am I supposed to know when that is. My account says I am 31 years old. maybe something happened when I registered for Live in Iraq????
Would love to hear an adequate answer.
My best guess is it's an EA server issue. They've had quite a few problems ever since the BF3 release. Servers down first night, across all games. Then people can't access their online pass, now this.
This happened to me to! its so frustrating i dont know how many times i got trouble with multiplayer on ea games, and now i get this for the game im most excited about this year. My acount says im 50 years old i think so age shouldnt be a problem. Anyone knows how to fix this or do i have to ask EA about this?
Spoke to xbox support and they said everything was fine on their end. Yet to call EA and see if they can do anything, not sure if I want to though. This is an absolute debacle so I'm just going to return the game and wait for MW3.
Im from Germany and i got the same Problem and Im 21.
I hate it so much ...
dont got any answers... hope we will find it
Same problem here. Very frustrating !!! I have 35 !
Guess I'll swap BF3 for MW if they don't fix that very soon :(
I have the same issue and no idea how to fix it. I had the same issue stop me from playing the beta and now I'm a paying customer who cannot play BF3.
I'd suggest a little better product testing EA and Xbox, how do we fix this?
when an account reaches 18
you need to promote the account with a creditcard
if you went with the default date 1999 then well you will wait another 7 years
btw even if you change the windows live id to an adult account that will not affect the age of the gamertag
check the family settings on the console
if they are there then you are under 18
goto guide
all the way to the right
goto account management
if the promote child account is there then you can promote
MS cannot test EA profiles
that is EA's property
Thank you NGO seems like you cleared this up. I will just go over a few things. To all who say they know their account is an adult account; That is not true, you cannot know how old your account is. Even if you call into Xbox support THEY still will not know how old your account is. The only way to get your account from a child to an adult is to use the promote option under account management, this can only happen once the account reaches 18 years old. There is no solution for this except creating a new account and setting the proper birth date. Sorry for the trouble.
But I am 35 ! I always was more than 18 on the Live since day one and Xbox 1. I was never 17 on my Xbox, never.
I'll try this promote thing but I won't create a new account, I don't want to deal with two accounts. . I'll swap BF3 for MW3 and I won't buy any EA game ever if they use that crappy feature...

I want to let your readers know about the wonderful deed the NJEA did for me and my family in our very desperate, confusing, painful, and hurtful time of need.
I want to personally thank Mr. Kevin Kelleher for taking the time to help my mom retire promptly, easily, and painlessly. I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to show my appreciation. I was concentrating on getting mother better, but now I'm ready and I want to thank Mr. Kelleher again, the NJEA, the JCEA, the Board of Education, as well as anyone who participated in preparing the appropriate paperwork and for helping my mother retire so promptly and efficiently.
So on behalf of myself and my family I want to again express my gratitude and say how very lucky we were to have such wonderful and caring people put in our path.

This morning, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal published excerpts and summaries of an internal memo by 51 State Department officials calling for airstrikes against the Assad regime in Syria. The key idea expressed in the memo is simple: take military action immediately to stem the tide of violence in Syria. It's an understandable sentiment, especially from those who have been dealing with Syria's barbaric civil war on a daily basis, as many of the signatories have. Unfortunately, it is also an exercise in wishful thinking, ignoring the concrete problems with further U.S. military commitment in Syria which have formed the basis for the Obama administration's refusal to overthrow Assad.
The memo criticizes the Obama Administration's decision to eschew military action in Syria, arguing instead for the "judicious use of stand-off and air weapons" against the Assad regime. Though such internal memos contesting the administration's official policy – known as a 'dissent channel cable' – are not uncommon, the large number of signatories is more unusual. The memo blames the Assad regime's violence towards civilians for both Syria's instability and the appeal of ISIS, arguing that the moral rationale for airstrikes "is unquestionable."

5 Lies Women Always Tell Men
Here's a little help for men to figure out when their gal isn't being completely honest with them. Our tips help to decode female behaviour...
Though a recent study claims that a woman's face is like an open book that reveals her state of mind, but men need to beware!
Better not take it as the last verdict, for irrespective of how much you trust and adore your little angel, women do lie to their significant others at times.
Sometimes to carry off a situation without hurting his feelings or to save herself from trouble, while on occasions to contain her emotions and pose as Ms. Goody...popping casual, white lies is no big deal for women when it comes to playing it safe in the relationship.
White lies are no big blunders or massive betrayals, but small lies or 'truth manipulated' to handle a situation. At times she might fib to make her man feel better, to avoid a fight, or an embarrassing situation.
Here's a little help so that men can figure out when their adorable darling is not speaking her heart out and help them handle the situation with care...
Lie #1: "Oh! It's fine. I'm OK"
Guards on guys! You must know that she's not fine at all and nothing is OK. And sooner or later you will have to bear the burnt of her pent up emotions that she has somehow managed to hold back until now. You'll find her taking this emotional defense on occasions when you may have forgotten her birthday, taken her for granted or have done anything that hurts her.
"Whenever my girlfriend lets go off my not so fatal error with a cool 'it's fine', I know it's nothing but the calm before a cyclone that I am fated to face in the time to come," shares Sandeep Sharma, a Delhi-based management student.
To portray that she doesn't care, the emotional lady prefers taking a refuge in this lie. Charu Marwah, a software engineer admits, "I prefer staying that 'It's OK' because if I react I'll be blamed of being a constant cribber, who is in complaining mode always. Though, I actually want him to go down on his knees and plead forgiveness."
Lie detector: Well, an experienced lover would know of the crime that he has committed, but the amateurs should look out for her reactions. She might not get vocal, but will do everything to make you feel guilty about the fact that you have hurt her. From being tight-lipped to giving the briefest responses that don't go beyond 'hmms, huhs or yes and no', to mean tones and loads of sarcasm - are a few hints that you can look out for. "Women have a tendency of expecting their man to understand the said, as well as the unsaid, and that leaves men in a dicey situation. And even here, by keeping quite or going away with a small 'I'm fine', she expects him to know that she's hurt," explains psychologist, Dr. Aruna Broota.
