Tiffin University's annual Student Art Exhibition is to open with a special reception 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday in the Diane Kidd Art Gallery inside the Hayes Center for the Arts on campus.
The reception is to be hosted by TU President Paul Marion and his wife, Susan, and also is to recognize this year's graduating seniors.
Lee Fearnside, assistant professor of art at TU, said the show is to feature work from regular undergraduate courses in drawing, painting and design, as well as a special exhibition of advanced undergraduate portfolio projects and creative thesis projects from the masters of humanities program.
Article Photos
Tiffin University student Tabitha Tabor's photograph, "Vacancy," is part of the school's upcoming exhibit.
"While the subject matter is eclectic, the work exhibited represents the best of Tiffin University's art program," Fearnside said.
Work from junior Tabitha Tabor is to be featured. She is to have a photograph titled "Vacancy." The photo is of an abandoned motel she sees while driving to and from school.
"Abandoned and extremely weathered building always catch my eye," Tabor said. "They're interesting to me because they are so old and once were very lively. Old buildings like that have stories that are probably now forgotten."
Fact Box
If you go
Regular Diane Kidd Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, or by appointment by calling Celinda Scherger at (419) 448-3282.
Group tours of the gallery's shows also are available.
Lauren Stewart is set to graduate in May with a degree in equine business management and a minor in photography. She is to have many pieces in the show, including two photos she took of a horse she was training.
"I love that they look more delicate and show a softer side of the equine and their environment," Stewart said. "Horses are a huge inspiration for me, I have been lucky enough to witness their kindness and beauty over the last 15 years. I never get tired of photographing them."
Stewart also is to have several print pieces. One is called "The Heart Tree," which for Stewart defined the meaning and feeling of home for her.
"The inspiration behind it was a Japanese maple tree that grew in front of my child home. It was my mother's tree and she loved it. I just reminds me of home and her never-ending love."
For sophomore Dyllain Martin, his inspiration
comes from his love for the outdoors. His pieces shows the changing of the seasons and new life.
"I've lived in a small town all my life that is surrounded by nature and farms," Martin said. "I always want to be out in the woods and one with nature. Photography is the outlet that allows me to capture every moment of life's beauty in real time, as it unfolds."
The show is to run through June 20.

Power restored in city, west Erie County
Power was restored overnight to more than 5,000 Erie and west Erie County Penelec customers who had been without electricity since Thursday afternoon.
Power was restored to about 4,000 city customers by 2:30 a.m., Penelec spokesman Bill Jerin said.
About 1,200 county customers affected by a separate outage had power restored by 3 a.m., Jerin said.
A transformer fire at East 10th and German streets at 6:41 p.m. affected power in parts of the city beginning about 8:15 p.m. Power was out between State and Ash streets and 10th and 26th streets, according to Erie County dispatch.
Power was restored to most city customers late Thursday.
The west county outage was caused by lightning that struck a transformer in Lake City at about 4:15 p.m. Lake City and Girard customers were affected.
Power was restored to about half of those customers by 6:30 p.m., Jerin said.

As a newlywed more than 38 years ago with my own house and bit of land, I knew I wanted a garden.
I had a pretty good idea of how things worked. My family always relied on homegrown vegetables. When my parents were growing up, their parents were forced to supplement their groceries with what they could grow. This ethic was passed down to my parents, not because it was as much of a necessity as by this time industry was booming in northeast Ohio and hard-working families could afford to buy all the produce they needed. But those money-saving habits were hard to break.
By the time it my turn to accept the torch, I didn't need to supplement my groceries, nor did I care whether or not growing a tomato or pepper would save me a few dollars in the long run. I wanted to grow my own vegetables because it was fun and because they tasted better than anything in the stores.
I remember that first garden. In the early 1970s, it wasn't strange to see someone driving a tractor with a plow and tiller on the road a few times a week. All we had to do was flag them down and for a small fee, the driver was happy to plow and till any size section we wanted.
That first year, all I intended to grow were tomatoes and peppers. I knew nothing about varieties, hybrids or what grew best. My parents didn't discuss the merits of beefsteak versus Rutgers or sweet bell versus Hungarian hot wax. There was no Google- or YouTube-filled computers ready to show me all the information I needed with the click of a mouse. There was just my parents' expertise and the public library. The librarians knew me by name and I knew what shelves held all the gardening books.
When our space was plowed and tilled and the tomatoes and peppers were planted, we realized we still had quite a bit of space left. That's when it got crazy. We filled those empty spaces with everything we could, cucumbers, melons, beans, onions. We grew them whether we liked them or not. Someone would eat them. We just knew we could stick a seed or seedling in a patch of earth and within a few weeks, wonderful things happened. We also learned the diligence of weeding and had our first encounter with tomato hornworms.
Although now my vegetable garden is organic, not to mention much smaller, back then it didn't bother me to sprinkle diazinon or malathion - deadly chemicals that make me cringe as I type their names - in my garden rows, right along with the seeds. Back then, we used chemicals as prevention against disease and insects. Afterward we learned to only use them if there were indications of problems and later, we learned not to use them at all but to let natural predators and manual techniques take care of things.
We also learned tolerance. So what if we lost a few lettuce plants to the rabbits. Who cares if the eggplant leaves have a few holes in them, chewed away by flea beetles. We don't mind sharing.
These days we're also a little more choosy about what goes into our garden. There are only two of us now and we're busier than ever. We still grow tomatoes and peppers, beans and onions. We put in a lot more greens, but not as many melons or rows of corn. We know our favorites and plant what we like and know we will eat rather than anything and everything, just because we can.
That doesn't mean we don't like to try new things. All-America Selections just announced its choice for a sweet, orange bell pepper called 'Orange Blaze,' a hybrid, that looks interesting. It takes a longer season to grow a yellow, orange or red pepper versus plain green, although peppers can be harvested at any age during their growth. They get sweeter as they mature.
When growing these peppers, patience is helpful, but according to the AAS, not necessary when growing 'Orange Blaze.' This variety turns orange about 65 to 70 days from transplant. Look for 'Orange Blaze' in garden centers this season.
Grow what you like, but don't forget to grow some fun.

Competition: we've teamed up with designers Cibicworkshop to give away five construction games based on iconic buildings by renaissance architect Andrea Palladio.
Called The Play of Combinations, each collector's set comprises hand-made ceramic blocks that demonstrate the modularity of Palladio's designs.
The sets were created in 2008 to celebrate Palladio's 500th birthday.
We have three models of Villa La Rotonda and two models of Villa Emo to give away.
This competition is organised in collaboration with the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio in Venice. Buy the game at their CISA Bookshop.
This competition is now closed. Five winners will be selected at random and notified by email. Winners' names will be published in a future edition of our Dezeenmail newsletter and at the bottom of this page. Dezeen competitions are international and entries are accepted from readers in any country.
Subscribe to our newsletter, get our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter for details of future competitions.
Here's some more information from Cibicworkshop:
On the occasion of the exhibition for the 500th anniversary of the birth of Andrea Palladio, the CISA (Centre for International Studies of Architecture Andrea Palladio) presented the "Game of the Villa", a refined collectors construction game (the pieces are in ceramics) that illustrates the striking Palladian design modularity, based on an idea of Howard Burns, developed by Mauro Zocchetta with the art direction of CibicWorkshop.
The ceramic elements of the game are made of soft, light-coloured earth, which is formed in plaster moulds, finished and then decorated with non-toxic water colours; the work is carried out entirely by hand by master ceramists. It should be noted that each small, minor defect is in itself an indication and a typical feature of the manual production process.
Made in Nove, Italy, by Stylnove.
Project Credits
Concept: Howard Burns
Design: Mauro Zocchetta
Consultants: Guido Beltramini e Massimo Scolari
Art direction: Cibicworkshop
Congratulations to the winners! Jankel Nieuwoudt in South Africa, Christian Baumgarten in Germany, Joost Boshuizen in The Netherlands, Otto Chen in Australia and Johan De Man in Belgium all won sets of The Play of Combinations.

Don't confuse a disaster with historic accomplishment
May 11, 2014
On April Fools' Day, Obama did a victory lap around his teleprompters claiming Obamacare a success. Seven million people had signed up in one way or another. Let us put that in perspective....
While I a moderate conservative, I don't watch Fox (not having cable will do that). But even I know that they aren't balanced and they definitely will slant things. However, I also know the other networks do the same, and yes, there are more of them.
As a young "budding" journalist (I wilted before blooming--marriage can do that) I did attend a huge conference that vividly sticks in my memory because there was a gay journalist there who said they were actively recruiting gays to go into journalism so as to influence articles written and tone of those articles.
So yes, whatever the mindset and point of view of journalists (or teachers, etc) it is reflected in what comes out of their mouths.
BTW, relatively interesting new book out by Starnes: God Less America. Not worth $25, but some interesting chapters.

And yet, the odds are stacked against a fair and balanced reporting except possibly Fox...
A poll released last week reported that 7% of American journalists say they are Republicans. The survey also found that the news force is aging, having a median age of 47. And 62% of journalists are men. A mere 8.5% of full-timers are minorities. Less than 1 in 4 are "very satisfied" with their job. In short, the profession that dubbed the Republican Party a refuge for "angry white men" is teeming with angry white men.
The irony here is wasted on the ink-stained-wretch community.
Indiana University has conducted this survey of journalists every decade since 1971, so it measures changes in the industry. The 2002 survey reported that 18% of journalists identified as Republicans. At 7.1% last year, America's newsrooms housed a lower percentage of Republicans than in San Francisco (8.4%).
No wonder conservatives don't trust the media.

Isn't it odd that more people watch Fox then almost all other Cable news combined yet there are those who continue to call those who watch Fox, names?
With Bill Weir hosting CNN Tonight on Friday, averaged its second-lowest ratings during the 9 p.m. hour in both the 25-54 demo and total viewers in nearly 15 years. The CNN show had 48K viewers in the demo and 226K total, according to Nielsen.
The only other time the 9 p.m. hour rated lower than that in total viewers dating back to 2000 came on October 11, 2010 when Larry King Live had 196K. In the demo, it occurred on May 15, 2012 when Piers Morning Tonight had just 39K viewers.
During that hour Friday night, Fox's The Kelly File came in first place with 193K in the demo and 1.360M total viewers. MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show was second with 107K in the demo and 560K total viewers.

Several decades ago there was a man who believed that a certain religious group was unintelligent, useless to progress, and was degrading the quality of life for the rest of the nation. He rose to power on the euphoric effects of his promises and he chose the most loyal of his true believers to assist him with implementing the desired changes. All he had to do was convince his countrymen that the religious group had to go as well as some other undesirable groups that, due to some fundamental cultural differences, were not going to be of any use to the potential greater good. It was, after all, a new era.

Truth, you don't really believe rpm and everyone conservative is backwards, ignorant, unscientific and bigoted, do you?
Like ts, I kinda like hearing two points of view, but your comments weren't an argument for leaning left, or a rebuttal to what anyone wrote.
You just labeled everyone conservative idiots, with nothing to back that up. That's pretty closed minded, and doesn't do anything to sway my thinking to your outlook.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Your comment suggesting my knowledge of reality dates back to the pre-Enlightenment era show you have a lot to learn about the opposition, or perhaps you just have a lot to unlearn. This is a belief you have been taught so you would be instilled with a mind set that is useful to your leadership. It helps create the division they require to advance their agenda. I have seen examples of it many times over but the most ironic part is that it is nothing more than prejudicial thinking you people claim to be so much against.

You need to go back and reread the previous posts. This exchange started not as a complaint that a point of view from the left was printed but as a complaint that a point of view from the right was printed. I merely pointed out that there will be a significantly larger proportion of persons in this area expressing a point of view from the right because of the area demographics rather than some slanted media campaign

rpmwee, since we live in a leaning right area, the Salem news should only present the right leaning point of view? Why don't we take your belief into the schools also. Not only does the sun revolve around the earth, but the earth is flat and yes, only 8000 years old. And people wonder why we are becoming a nation of idiots. P.S. Hey Salem news, since you are a right leaning newspaper in a right leaning area, I can't wait for your editorial telling us all how the pope is a commie, Marxist, lazy liberial that is trying to redistribute our wealth and destroy America.

OSU600, I wasn't labeling you a lefty. I was asking why you would expect to see more leftist views printed in the Salem News when the Salem News doesn't cover an area that has a large leftist population. If you have facts, figures, and quotes that contradict what was printed in this article, then by all means put them in print right here. Readers won't have to go very far to see an opposing point of view.

Understood, I was suggesting it's more enlightening to me at least when you get a point/counterpoint sort of variety in the opinion pieces that are pulled (particularly with the national ones that are published), and not beat over the head with the same very slanted stuff every week.

It's in the opinion section.........

The difference is that people expect and know cable news is lopsided in its views (both ways dependent upon the network), and they expect their newspapers to be more moderate or at least showing both sides. No one expects to get FOX News in print every Sunday.

Figures, make a simple,factual statement and get labeled a lefty. I enjoy reading opinions from several viewpoints, not just one side. I would have said the same thing if the News printed nothing but the left. That being said, I never read anything in this writers numerous letters to the editor that merited giving him a column.

Mind Your Own Feeding Choices!Danielle
With a new mom in my circle of friends and another adding a baby boy to our circle in June, the topic of in-laws and feeding choices has been coming up more often than most of us would like to admit.
When I was pregnant with my middle son I had gotten some unwanted advice and brushed it off which I always suggest new moms do. While it is easier said than done, I think standing your ground also sends a loud and clear message.
Where am I going with this?
This week one of my friends told me all about her mother-in-law or in this case I, monster-in-law would be a little bit more fitting. While insisting her son needs to learn responsibility she told my friend in question she would be giving her son formula.
No question about it, no discussion and after more than one conversation about breastfeeding it was a blatant slap to the face. There was no respect for her choice as a mother, and her own sons choices being a responsible parent.
But what makes others feel like formula feeding would encourage a father to be more responsible?
Is it because of course he would have to get up and feed the baby? Would it be the fact that using formula would make it easier to pass the baby around or include others as babysitters? I don't see how a feeding choice can teach a parent to be more responsible though.
This is coming from a mother who has breast fed and formula fed. In fact Addison is the only one I have nursed this long. Yes, I will give myself a little pat on the back over that!
But why do outsiders always feel the need to interject their opinion when it is not wanted? Especially when it comes to breastfeeding?
Do they not understand how rude and offensive it is? If someone wants to breastfeed – that is their choice as a parent. Just like what doctor a couple chooses or what kind of diapers they choose to use. It is personal, private and not a community project.
Have you ever run into a situation like this?
How have you handled it?

Although the U.S. Constitution bans any religious test for public office, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is out with a new ad that plays up his Christian faith and hints darkly at a "war on religion" being waged by the Obama administration. Check it out:
Wait, our children can't openly celebrate Christmas? That's odd, because I couldn't help but notice Christmas decorations everywhere, Christmas music — much of which makes reference to Jesus' birth — all over the radio and plenty of people wishing each other "Merry Christmas." We're being pretty open about it.
Perry's remark about gays serving openly in the military is the most telling thing about this ad. Here, you have a group people who are denied the right to marry the person of their choice in most states, who nonetheless are willing to stand to arms to defend the country. That he would spurn such patriotism and nobility on the part of his fellow citizens says far more about Perry's character than anything else. Perry may not be ashamed to be a Christian, but he should be ashamed that his conception of Christianity would drive him to create an officially discriminatory policy as commander in chief.
And that's really the point, isn't it? This country welcomes people of all faiths, and of no faith at all, with the simple understanding that we establish no religions and prohibit none. Perry here is essentially promising to govern based on the tenets of his religion, at least as he perceives them. That's not only un-American, it should disqualify him from the presidency, inasmuch as he cannot take the oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution — if you'll pardon the pun — in good faith.
Something tells me that we won't have to worry about it for much longer, however.

• A written examination was used to assess the knowledge base of 183 practicing certified internists. Analyses of the examination scores showed that performance on the initial American Board of Internal Medicine certification examination taken 7.6 years previously was the major factor predicting current knowledge base. By developing regression models, the unique contribution of different variables to prediction of current examination scores was determined. Prior American Board of Internal Medicine certification examination performance accounted for 70.9% of the explained variance, and demographic and practice variables were responsible for 17.8%. Among the demographic and practice variables studied, community size and subspecialty practice were the only variables that contributed significantly to the regression equations. Examination scores were highest for certified internists practicing in smaller communities. General internists received higher scores than subspecialists. Although statistically significant, the apparent adverse influence of subspecialty practice and larger community size on examination performance was modest. Further study is needed to determine if longer periods in practice might produce different relationships between variables such as these and examination performance.

Fire claims former Iowa department store building
DES MOINES, Iowa -- A massive fire swept through a more than century-old building that was being renovated in downtown Des Moines early Saturday morning, causing its upper floors to collapse and authorities to close down numerous streets.
No one was injured, but Assistant City Manager Matt Anderson told the Des Moines Register that the former Younkers department store building, which dates to 1899, cannot be salvaged and will have to be demolished.
"It was tough to hear," Anderson said of the building, which was being converted into apartments and retail space. "I've worked on that project for a long time."
A state inspector also said the building is considered to be an asbestos-contaminated site and will require specialized cleanup.
Des Moines Fire Department spokesman Brian O'Keefe said the department first got word of a fire at the seven-floor building at about 12:50 a.m. Saturday, and arrived to find flames leaping from the upper floors. About an hour later, those floors had collapsed, he said.
"As they were looking into the floors, every floor they were checking had heavy smoke and fire damage," O'Keefe told the Des Moines Register. "They could hear internal collapses occurring. So the command pulled those people out and gave an evacuation signal."
The Younkers store was a landmark in Des Moines for years, but the building closed in 2005. In September, a Wisconsin-based company began work on a $36 million renovation.
Authorities said it wasn't clear what sparked the blaze.
"Being under construction, there's so many variables," O'Keefe said.
Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie told WHO-TV that the building at 701 Walnut St. was a key part of a downtown revitalization project.
"While it's a devastating thing to see a landmark like this lost ... Des Moines is really on the move, and this won't hold us back," Cownie said. "But it's going to cause us to reassess what Walnut Street is going to look like."
Each of the Younkers building's floors are believed to have had asbestos felt between them, as well as areas around pipes, inspector Tom Wuehr, of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, told the Des Moines Register. Wuehr said it's unlikely that workers or people in the downtown area will be exposed to harmful levels of asbestos, a known carcinogen.
The large amounts of water used to put out the fire would have helped contain the asbestos, he said.
KCCI reported that debris from the fire collapsed onto the skywalk leading east from the Younkers building. The Hub Tower and the EMC Insurance Companies building have also suffered some damage, the Des Moines Register reported, as has the Greater Des Moines Partnership building.
EMC, which has 1,200 workers in downtown Des Moines, sustained smoke and water damage to one of its main office buildings, but plans to be open for business Monday.

Guess Who
In the 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," Sidney Poitier played the man coming to dinner, while Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy played the parents of the white woman Sidney was set to marry. In this vapid update, Ashton Kutcher is Simon Green. He's engaged to Theresa (Zoe Saldana) but has yet to meet her parents, Percy (Bernie Mac) and Marilyn (Judith Scott). Theresa has yet to tell them that Simon is white.
Does anybody else notice the slight decline in talent between Poitier and Kutcher? How about between Tracy and Mac? It's kind of comparing Pavarotti to William Hung. In terms of drop-off, it's like falling into the Marianas Trench.
This film's strategy for success seems to be the hope that most of its audience hasn't made it past high school. Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan loads his emotional palette with every crayon color under the sun. He wants the big laughs, but he also wants the touching denouement where the characters all come together and understand each other better. It's another film that feels like it was combed over by the studio in an effort to make sure that every possible demographic group was left unchallenged and unoffended.
There isn't a single instance in the film where the relationships seem the least bit believable. It's a cinematic triptych of bad acting, directing and writing. One important scene says it all: At the dinner table, Simon is goaded into telling a series of black jokes. At first, he tells jokes that everyone at the table finds funny, but he eventually errs and tells an offensive joke. The whole routine insults not only the audience's intelligence, but the characters'. When a director neither respects nor understands his characters, his film is doomed. Simon would know the last joke was offensive. Worse, the black characters aren't given enough credit not to react. It's hard to imagine any real people anywhere in the world being caught up in this particular situation.
"Guess Who" seems amiable enough, but that's precisely its problem. It makes the film more contemptible, not less. It makes the characters' eventual catharsis less believable, not more. To make matters worse, the big secret about why Simon quits his job serves the plot and the director, but not the character. It just ends up making a bad movie worse.
If the film feels like a cheat from the very beginning, that's because it is.

So it was on a cold November day that Editor-in-Chief Chris Gampat would hand me the Panasonic LX100. It had been a while since I reviewed a camera, having been back in New York City for about two months from Istanbul. The LX100 piqued my interest with its design as a premium compact with manual controls. In a past life, I had written micro four-thirds largely because I found the cameras to be too small for my large hands. While the LX100 proved to be impressive in image quality and aesthetic, its diminutive size was a sticking point for me.
The camera is Panasonic's stab at Fujifilm's X100 series–and so sports retro handling and looks done in collaboration with Leica. The LX100 has the same sensor as the GX7, and in some ways even has the same styling. But this camera is much different in that at the heart is a Four Thirds sensor and in front of it is a fixed zoom lens with an f1.7 maximum aperture.
And in many ways, it could be a perfect camera for the photojournalist.

BROOKLYN, MI – Television star, carpenter, model and recognized sexy man Carter Oosterhouse will be the grand marshal at next month's Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
The 36-year-old Traverse City native, who has been named one of People magazine's "sexiest men on television," has starred on home-improvement shows on TLC and HGTV in recent years.
He'll wave the green flag to start the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, which will be at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18.
"Carter has made Michigan proud through his work with TLC's 'Trading Spaces' and his subsequent work on HGTV," said MIS President Roger Curtis in a press release. "We are thrilled for him to be our guest at the Pure Michigan 400 and show him all the cool things about NASCAR."
In addition to "Trading Spaces," Oosterhouse's resume includes HGTV's "Carter Can" and "Red Hot & Green."
Kid Rock served as the grand marshal at last year's Pure Michigan 400.
Fans will have a chance to earn a spot alongside Oosterhouse as an honorary starter at the race as part of an MIS contest.
Those interested can go to the Pure Michigan Facebook page and share why they want to be an honorary starter and wave the green flag. Entries can be submitted through Thursday, Aug. 8. At that time, a fan vote will begin to decide the winner, which will be announced Tuesday, Aug. 13.
The second NASCAR weekend of the summer at MIS begins Friday, Aug. 16, practice and qualifying for the Pure Michigan 400.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series National Guard 200 will follow at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17. A country music concert featuring Keith Anderson, Drake White and Tim Dugger, which is included with the purchase of a race ticket, will follow in lot 10.
The weekend will conclude with Sunday's Pure Michigan 400. The race will be broadcast on ESPN.
Ticket information is available at mispeedway.com or by calling 800-354-1010.

|Any Occasion
|1 Tier
|Buttercream, Other, Royal Icing, Fondant
|Elegant, Classic, Simple
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: This was my first attempt at creating a lace cake design, but the reason why I'm posting this project here is because the entire embroidered design and the over-piping was done with the airy royal icing that we learned to make in this class. It worked beautifully for this type of lace design! I decided to try to do the brush embroidery technique that was inspired by the green lace fabric that you see in the background of the photos. I covered the cake with marzipan, and then with MMF. Then, I did the embroidered rose design on the cake. At the end, I just lightly airbrushed the entire cake with a pearl sheen color.
What are you most proud of? Since this was my first experience with lace design, I feel content that I was able to achieve a reasonably fine lace look on the cake. I'm sure that there is lots of room for improvement, so don't hesitate to make suggestions! I'm happy with the quality of the over-piping. My hands were a bit shaky, but supporting them as Joshua advised was really helpful.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? It is important to watch the lessons many times if necessary, think about the techniques for such designs, think carefully about your own chosen design, practice first on a separate piece of fondant (for example, I first did the cake board to get a filling for movements etc.), and make sure that you have all of your tools before you start the project.
Very pretty!

The scale was good to me this morning because I used everything I have learned from diet experts about how to get through Thanksgiving without bingeing! So good I lost 3 1/2 pounds since last Monday.
In fact, I'm only one pound away from my third reward, the gift we give ourselves after losing 5 pounds.
We were with family on Thanksgiving in Traverse City, and it was a beautiful time away. A light snowfall blanketed the area on Friday, adding a Christmas-like feel. Before we hit some stores, we had breakfast that morning at the Flap Jack Shack, which is on a hill and offers a wonderful view that was made even nicer with the snowfall. At the outlet mall, both Heather and I found wonderful sales before we headed back home.
Christmas decorations are in place in our home, and yesterday I took our boxer, Maggie, for two walks. I was hoping for more snow but at least we did get to walk with snowflakes flying all around. This morning I added a lap on the treadmill, and I ran one of those laps, for a total of 1.75 miles.
Have a healthy week.

The god worshipped by the character Hidan from the show Naruto. It means "evil god" or "evil heart". Jashin, according to Hidan, expects that all followers of Jashin bring nothing less but utter destruction and death. Always before a fight, Hidan prays to Jashin, asking for a "good kill". If he is unsuccessful, or is not allowed to kill, he prays for forgiveness.
Jashin will punish you for not watching Naruto!

I don't know where they're getting their bottled water over at Reliant, but please, don't drink it!
We found out yesterday that starting left tackle Duane Brown will be suspended for the next 4 games for failing a drug test which showed he had violated the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. He joins 2009's Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing on the suspension list. If this keeps up, the league is going to need a "Texans" rule that would make it so only one or two players can be suspended at any one given time.
Here's what Brown had to say:
"I take full responsibility for putting myself in this situation," he said. "I unknowingly took a supplement tainted with a banned substance and now have to deal with the consequences. After reviewing the appeal process and speaking with legal counsel, I have decided not to appeal my suspension. I understand the rules and accept my punishment."
Throw in 2008 long snapper Bryan Pittman, who was suspended in December of 2008 for the same thing, and this has all the markings of a developing trend. For a team that prides itself on a squeaky clean image, this latest suspension just adds insult to injury. And believe me, the insults are flying. I defended Cushing here on the blog back in May, but this is getting downright silly.
The Texans are not the only team to suffer such problems, in 2008 the Minnesota Vikings had two of their starting defensive linemen in Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, and the New Orleans Saints had 3 players in Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will Smith suspended for 4 games each. All five of those players continued to play thanks to U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson. The Texans will have no such luck.
Funny, nobody seemed to mention that the Saints were cheating when they won the Super Bowl last season, but read some of the comments on the blogs and the news reports about what people are saying about the Texans. As a fan, I hate hearing all the smack, but there is little I can do about it. It's now up to the Texans staff and management to get this little problem under control.
Teams and players try to get every advantage they can in this mega-competitive business. Whether it's spying on the other team's play-calling, taking substances, abusing practice rules, or bending the recruiting rules. So let's not be naive and think that the Texans players are the only players in the league that have banned substances running through their veins. They just obviously aren't as good at getting away with it. I've always said, if you do something long enough, you'll eventually get caught. As a fan, I'd like to think that every player on this team is above reproach, that none will get arrested, banned, or suspended. But when you have 53+ players in your employ, these things happen. So my question is, what are the Texans going to do about it?
I'm not an uber-rich business man, and I don't have billions invested in an NFL football team. (I dont have billions invested in anything, actually.) But I would think that if this were my team, I'd be putting some heat on the General Manager and his staff after losing my second starter of the season for 4 games. The Texans seem poised to make their best run at the playoffs in their short existence, and losing key players to drug suspensions has to make Uncle Bob as infuriated as it does us fans. He's not the coach or the team doctor, he doesn't have the time to hold each player's hand at mealtime or before their workouts, he has to rely on his hired hands to take care of such things.
Understand for a second, that all three players each had a different strength and conditioning coach. Dan Riley was the Texans S&C coach in 2008 when Pittman was suspended. Assistant Ray Wright took over that job last season when Cushing tested positive. Now we have Cedric Smith. I'm not an expert here, so I'm not real sure how much responsibility these guys carry in this, but you have to start thinking that there's something broke in the system, rather than the individual coaches.
I'm not in any way bashing the Texans as a team, or Duane Brown as a player. I don't blame these guys for wanting to get ahead, especially when they know a large majority of players across the league are doing the same thing. But I do expect them to do so within the confines of the rules. Because when they break the rules, it affects my team, and in the end, that's what matters most. I personally think that banning players for 4 games for traces of dietary supplements is ridiculous. How much impact such supplements can have has to be debatable. I think this is more the league trying to combat the substances that players usually don't test positive for. They ban for what they consider to be "masking agents" because that's their way of trying to prevent the players from taking the real performance enhancing substances. The league should have different levels of punishment, depending on the substance that the player tested positive for. Cushing and Brown tested positive for traces of a supplement, and receive the same punishment that a player that straight up tested positive for anabolic steroids would receive. I call B.S. on that.
All of this wouldn't be an issue though if the players were more careful with what they put into their bodies and the coaching and medical staff more closely monitored what the players take. I am of the opinion that the loss of Duane Brown during this next 4-game stretch is not as vital as losing Brian Cushing for the first 4-game stretch. We play Dallas, Oakland, the Giants and Kansas City the next four games. None of these are division games. Kansas City has the best record at 2-0. The Giants and Raiders are both 1-1 and the Cowboys, well, we all know their record. We gave up 5 sacks last weekend with Duane Brown in the line-up. But make no bones about it, losing Brown does and will hurt. The Texans will plug 5th year tackle Rashad Butler into Brown's spot. Butler is a former 3rd round pick (Carolina) who has primarily played on special teams.
The difference between good teams and bad teams is the ability to overcome these kinds of set-backs. Had Brown strained his hamstring and missed 4 games, we'd be in the same boat. So it's now time for the coaching staff and the players to step up. The coaches will have to make adjustments to cover any weaknesses on Schaub's blind side.
The players, namely Butler, will have to step up and get the job done until Brown returns.

The Nokia Lumia 920 PureMotion HD+ screen explained: is this the best phone for Snooki?

2. Are you making a sexist remark about how women are lesser humans and thus don't use what you call "a real phone"?

Nokia already showed a real video taken by the Nokia lumia 920. Besides that Apple and other companies have done it before, but they just don't tell you.

If Nokia would just make an Android Phone. :( The homescreen on those new WP8 phones look like jumbled mess of tiles and images.

Tiles look boring!
26. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Tiles are a massive deterrent,the screen could be 10 times better than anything available even next year but most would pass it on over the tiles alone

I don't get the snooki part.
15. serious9010 (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Snooky is a Jersey Shore (reality show) participant. She's a woman with long nails. She'd probably enjoy this phone as she would be able to type despite her long nails which would normally keep her from doing so.
11. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
I'm sure as long as the phone vibrates Snooki will be overcome with elation.
The fact that she'll be able to use her nails will only bring her much more gratification.

So bottom line its one bad ... set of functions in one phone. Also they have taken the time to improve the device and tech itself rather than just focus on adding any new tech they can find. That is a smart company.

Nokia is doing what everyone does. Pushing attention on it's screen and neglecting everything else. A nice screen alone IS NOT enough!
What about?
- full multitasking
- local PC syncing
--> otherwise I want someone to explain me wtf the Sync Center option in Windows Mobility Center in Windows 8 is used for!
- full bluetooth transfer
- full 2-way call recording
- loud loudspeaker (so we FINALLY it when someone calls us)
- good camera (the camera in the Lumia 800 is even worse than the EDoF-model from the 701)
I also have a lot of question on the following.
- wireless charging is all very well, but not if takes 1 full day like the current Lumia 800
BTW... Nokia, where IS my Lumia 800 that I send to repair 2 months ago, which I declined to repair for the ridiculous sum of 326,66 euro and which was to be returned to me unrepaired???
34. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
nokia is one of few company's coming out with new tech, your comment saying about the screen is what there pushing attention on is stupid, you should read up on there 2 devices.
the camera on the 920 is shaping to be one of the best available (second to the nokia 808) bluetooth transfer should be include and hope they have but nowadays bluetooth isnt used as much
syncing etc, well if you dont know how to sync your phone maybe you shouldnt be using that phone

"well if you dont know how to sync your phone maybe you shouldnt be using that phone"

39. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
i understand your entire comment, moaning about a phone before even giving it a chance
maybe if you stop complaining and do some research on the internet you will find the answer to your question
36. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i thought nokia 701 was the brightest phone ever at 1000nits?
oh well nokia lumia 920 is really something but still lack something that is needed!!!
40. epdm2be (Posts: 494; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Yes it is. But it doesn't run Windows Phone.
So keep quiet about it.
I mean, it would be a real embarrassment for Nokia if an old 1,3GHz Symbian phone appears to be better then their brand new all singing and dancing WP8 flagship slap.
Wait till the phone is out and the purple tint keep cropping up! Or when it can't connect to hidden SSID's or when the ringtones are so bloody quiet that you keep missing phonecalls/texts etc...
42. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
do you just blindly hate anything nokia do?
least they are bringing new stuff to the phone market. we need more then just android and iOS. with 3 OS's we should see more development
until the phone has been tested and reviewed cant you keep your negative moaning to yourself or even better not read and comment on articles about nokia
45. epdm2be (Posts: 494; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
"do you just blindly hate anything nokia do?"
No, I LOVE my Nokia 701. It's fast, looks fantastic, has full bluetooth, full multitasking, a real notification light, a charging/charge ready light, a loud loudspeaker and thus great for navigation, full automatic 2 way call recording, great FM transmitter, fantastic reception and call quality. And Symbian looks fantastic with really usefull widgets and tools (e.g. the situations app is truly a masterpiece).
This is the very best all-round smartphone I ever had. IMHO Nokia shouldn't have dropped Symbian because it still is the most featurepacked smartphone OS around.
I also have a Lumia 800 (in repair since end of June), Nokia N8 (a friend uses this now), Nokia X7 (bought for my niece her birthday) Xperia U (gave this to my mom after her phone broke down), Asus Transformer TF101 (sold), Samsung Omnia (WM6.1) (My dad uses this now), played with a ZTE Orange, Galaxy Mini (bought it for my stepmom for her birthday as she wanted a white phone on a restricted budget), Galaxy 2, iPhone 3/4, iPad 1/2, Samsung Wave (One of my friends has this now).
So don't tell me I'm not open minded. I still have 3 Nokia's in my possesion (N8, 701 and Lumia 800). So I DO speak from experience. Before that 701 I had 2x Nokia C7's (I sold one and exchanged the other for the 701). I loved them and I love the 701 even better because it's a lot faster.
I have experience already with Windows 8 RTM (on my Lenovo R61 thinkpad) and also with WP7,5 (Lumia 800). If you can read Dutch you can find my experiences with Nokia Care at:
These are FACTS (including sales ticket, repair forms AND recorded telephone conversations).
So don't tell me to give Nokia a change. I've supported them with my bloody wallet! How about you?
"least they are bringing new stuff to the phone market."
Yes indeed, Nokia brought significant improvements on Symbian but they abandoned it. And Meego Harmatan was also true innovative but they abandoned that too.
WP7/8 is from Microsoft NOT Nokia. Nokia brings nothing significantly new to it (except marketing crap). A good 8MPixel camera is STILL a 8MPixel camera no matter how much you glorify it. And Nokia's outstanding Navigation software is currently better executed on Symbian than on WP with activation straight from the contacts and calender and more settings (like avoiding of tollbooths and ferries for instance).
It's an illusion to think that you'll see MORE development with more "ecosystems". Developers will always choose the most lucrative platform and that currently isn't WP.
Fact is. I've supported Nokia by BUYING 4 successive models for myself (3 Symbian devices with good to very good experiences) and one WP flagship model (the Lumia 800 was the most expensive Lumia until the Lumia 900 came to market) with VERY bad experience.
That's support! That's giving them a change and they blew it with the WP7 model!
46. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i support you buddy!!! gotta those symbian devices...
47. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
yeah you can name devices you mite or mite not have had , ive always gone noka from 3310 to 6230, 6630, n95,n8 and currently i have the 808 pureview. so in short yeah i support nokia with my wallet to.
yeah i agree and have always said they should of continued with symbian it was finally at a point with belle fp1 where symbian worked without problem on a touchscreen phone. symbian anna always felt like it had been rushed and adapted poorly.
as for windows i never went and got a wp7 device becuase it still had too many limitations for my liking but why list potential problems with these new devices , insted why not wait till we see the final product and try it out.
48. epdm2be (Posts: 494; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
I would. If Nokia didn't hassle me out of 499 euro's+326,66 euro!
As it is I can't afford to spend ANY more money on them. I require the SAME features as Symbian currently has. Windows Phone 7 AND WP8 does NOT come close.
A few examples that I KNOW off.
WP8 will still have the SAME multitasking as WP7. Sure, a few more apps will be granted to run as background tasks but it still not the same as Symbian, Windows Mobile or Andoid for that matter and will still be limited to MSFT only apps (fortunately Skype is now from them too so THAT will run with multitasking)
In fact Microsoft has introduced similar "task switching" to Windows 8 (desktop OS). Which is just one trick to make it "appear" faster. It´ll run this way strictly under Metro UI (or whatever its called) and use normal multitasking on the "classic" desktop.
Bluetooth will STILL be limited. You STILL need that Live account to do anything.
The thing is client confidentiallity dissallows me from using the cloud to store Client telnos. and addresses. These are now transfered from Outlook via USB/bluetooth through Nokia Suite on my phone.
Because I drive a lot I require full call recording to collect callers name and address for client-emergencies. Sure I can let them call me back or call them back myself but that increases costs (both for me and my clients) and decreases efficiency.
Just these 2 things alone detain me on Symbian. I just have no choice. I do know that through aditional software I can locally sync contacts and calendars on Android devices but the call recording thing is a hit and miss gamble which I'm not willing to bet on. So I keep informing myself. Currently ZTE models and some LG models are able to record calls (e.g. 4XHD) without hacking/rooting/whatever.
Windows Phone 8 does neither! The iPhone does sync outlook data through iTunes but unfortunately doesn't record calls. The same with Bada (Samsung Wave).
But hey, Sure I'll wait and see. Just watch my words. Crippled BT, crippled multitasking, no call recording, no local syncing (although syncing tools are included in Windows 8). But I'm convinced that Navigation will improve upto Symbian level indeed. The camera will be good. And the available colours will add some 'fun' level to it, defintely. It's just not good enough for an independent seflemployed professional.

49. ariasone (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
why isn't the home screen full size?
50. hhvdblom (Posts: 6; Member since: 13 Jan 2012)
Windows Phone has true multi-tasking, but the question is do you want that! If you look at the OneX that has true multi-tasking, that Phone closes the apps if they are not used for some period. You know why? otherwise if would have "drained" your battery. So the way Windows Phone works with multi-tasking, what is called "tomb-stoning" is by design. It takes care of your tasks so your battery lasts longer. Its just a smart feature of the Windows Phone OS.

SeaWolves blank Fisher Cats behind Ryan's gem
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Kyle Ryan's roll continued Saturday night, as he tossed a six-hit shutout to spark the Erie SeaWolves to a 5-0 win over New Hampshire before a crowd of 6,063 at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Ryan, who was coming off seven shutout innings against Reading in his last start on June 1, struck out six and did not walk a batter while evening his season's record at 5-5 and lowering his ERA to 3.56.
Ryan is 3-0 with two no-decisions in his past five starts.
Against New Hampshire, Ryan had plenty of backing, as Devon Travis ripped a two-run homer, Aaron Westlake added an RBI single and two more runs came home on RBI groundouts.
The SeaWolves, who improved to 28-32, will look to take the series when the two teams meet for the third time today at 1:35 p.m. Wilsen Palacios (3-2) will start for Erie while Aaron Sanchez (2-4) gets the call for New Hampshire.
Ryan did not allow an extra-base hit in the game, scattering four singles in the first seven innings before giving up a pair of base hits in the eighth. He had not allowed more than one batter to reach base in any one inning until the eighth.
The SeaWolves jumped on top with a pair of runs in the second inning off New Hampshire starter Shawn Hill.
Corey Jones ripped a one-out double, then scored on Westlake's single. Westlake advanced all the way to third on a throwing error by Fisher Cats shortstop Jorge Flores.
Dean Green followed with a grounder to second base, scoring Westlake with the SeaWolves' second run.
Erie added to its lead in the fourth when Ramon Cabrera and Corey Jones had consecutive singles and Cabrera scored on Westlake's groundout to second.
Jones, who stole second and moved to third on Westlake's fielder's choice, was stranded there when Green popped out to third and Dixon Machado grounded out to short.
The SeaWolves made it 5-0 in the fifth when Travis followed a walk to Jamie Johnson with his third home run of the season.
Erie will enjoy an off day Monday, then return to Jerry Uht Park Tuesday to start a three-game series with Harrisburg.

hmmm...picture seems to have disappeared
I grok, therefore I am.
Picture is gone indeed. Don't know what it was but the best chocolate I ever had was made by Amedei. It was 85% and tasted so smooth. Amazing.
Edit. Picture is back! Go with the 99%er!
I can't see the picture either. Pralus 100%, hands down, if you want something sugar-free. I quite like Lindt 90% too.
Picture fixed...darn twitpic and it's cyclical image changing code. Posted to flickr instead.
I'm keen on Lindt 90% as well.
I had to order the Pralus in so I figured I might as well grab a couple extras as well! Only took 4 days to get to me...not bad. But at $12 for the Pralus, that one will be savored for sure.
I grok, therefore I am.
I tried Michel Cluizel, didn't like it. Haven't tried Chocolat Bonnat.
Where did you order the Pralus from? I couldn't find it on Amazon. I found it in local chocolate store but they haven't had any since.
I ordered mine off a website based out of Toronto - www.atasteforchocolate.com
It's hard to find anything like this in my uncultured small town.
I grok, therefore I am.
Drool....need help?

Review: Navigating the Financial Blogosphere
|Email Print
To be entirely honest, when I was requested to take a look at Russell Bailyn's Navigating the Financial Blogosphere: How to Benefit from Free Information on the Internet, I was a little surprised a book like this was going to be published… let alone by John Wiley & Sons, a reputable publisher. I accepted it because I really wanted to see if Blueprint for Financial Prosperity would be in it (it is!) and because I wanted to see what exactly Russell Bailyn would be saying about "my industry." I didn't know who Russell Bailyn was until I received the book's information and he is a wealth manager with Premier Financial Advisors, a financial planning firm. He's a big contributor at Seeking Alpha and Trading Markets, both of which have feeds that go right into Yahoo! Finance.
The main thrust of the book is that there is a tremendous amount of free information in the Internet in the form of forums, blogs, and other consumer generated media; and that information is made more valuable by virtue of all the contributors adding more to the discussion. That is, because people can post to a forum, because people can leave comments on a blog, that collective intellect is just as valuable as whatever an "expert" says. I wholeheartedly agree and listed that as one of the seven wonders of personal finance last week.
The book really is a resource about the resource that is personal finance websites and blogs. It covers many personal finance topics from a relatively high level (such as describing what a financial adviser is and does), sprinkling in some blogs or sites worth mentioning. It was definitely a vanity play for me to see a lot of sites I read be listed (including Blueprint for Financial Prosperity) but I find it difficult to recommend this book to anyone who is reading this review because you already know about personal finance blogs. You're probably pretty web savvy and you don't need a book to tell you that blogs are valuable (they are!).
If, however, you do have a blog, maybe you want this book because then you can say your blog is in a book. 🙂{ 5 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Surveillance pictures from a robbery in Newfields have been released.
Police said the woman seen in the photos went into a Shell station on Route 108 in August. She told the clerk she had dropped her card behind a refrigerator and asked for help retrieving it.
When the clerk left the front counter to help the woman, police said, a man came into the store and stole a drop box full of money. Both the man and the woman left before police could arrive.
Anyone who recognizes the people in the pictures is asked to call Seacoast Crime Stoppers at 603-431-1199.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill heard testimony Thursday over growing threats to the religious liberties of faith groups. Bishop William Lori testified before a House Judiciary Committee that Catholic hospitals and charities have lost government contracts for not offering abortion, contraception and gay adoption. He told the committee that's just one instance in a broader trend of the erosion of religious rights.
"Religious freedom also belongs to churches and other religious institutions, comprised of citizens who are believers and who seek, not to create a theocracy, but rather to influence their culture from within," Lori told lawmakers.
"The distinction between church and state, between God and Caesar, remains "fundamental to Christianity," he said. Meanwhile, Colby May, senior counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice, says gay rights victories are forcing some people to choose between their jobs or their faith.

Destination Dreams
Sadly many children die every year from childhood illnesses. Many of these children spend their short lives in hospital.
After a diagnosis of a life limiting or threatening illness everyday life changes. Families experience physical, financial and emotional turmoil with overwhelming pressure and stress.
Destination Dreams is an organised holiday to Disney World, Florida, for children fighting life threatening illnesses. Every child has a terminal prognosis or a severely life limiting or threatening condition. The children are accompanied by their immediate family. The families stay in their own villa at a unique resort 'Give Kids the World' specifically designed for children with a high medical dependency, so special that a child can only be granted a wish to visit once in their lifetime. The families are supported by Caudwell Children's medical and staff team who are on call 24 hours a day.
The magical Destination Dreams week provides families with happy memories they can keep forever and the opportunity to make lifelong friends that understand their situation better than anyone else. The programme provides a break from the routine of painful treatments and hospital appointments.
The volunteer team offer support to families when they need it; pushing a wheelchair to enable parents to hold hands and see the look on their children's faces as they meet all their favourite characters.
- Attend! If you would like to apply for your child and family to go on Destination Dreams, please click here.
- Volunteer! If you are interested in becoming a Dream Maker, please click here.
- Support! If you would like to sponsor or donate to the Destination Dreams programme, please call 01782 600 112

Album Review
This is a collection of old school classics from KRS-One's BDP crew, including "Dope Beat," "P Is Free," "Poetry," and "The Bridge Is Over," among others. This is the material that has KRS-One declaring himself the god of hip-hop, and he definitely pushed the envelope in a day when rap music was a lot more political and introspective. This is a good introductory compilation for a new generation of listeners interested in learning about the roots of rap music, and equally valuable to those who were around in the BDP days but for one reason or another no longer have all those old records.
