Justin Bieber treats fans to free iPhones
Justin Bieber surprised two fans in New York City on Saturday (01Feb14) by gifting them with iPhones during a shopping trip at Apple's flagship store. Lalita Selochan and a friend had spent hours waiting in the cold outside the singer's Manhattan hotel in the hopes of catching a glimpse of their pop idol, but after failed attempts to contact Bieber via Twitter.com, they decided to step into the nearby store to warm up.
The superstar, who was in the area to celebrate the Super Bowl festivities, found the pair watching his new music video for Confident on an Apple device and decided to treat them to brand new cell phones.
Detailing her star encounter on Twitter.com, Selochan wrote, "We continued to watch the video, then I felt a tap on my shoulder and I heard 'I see you guys checking out the new video.' I turned around to see JUSTIN DREW BIEBER STANDING RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES…
"He told the guys that worked there 'I want a pink one for her, and a green for her and lemme (sic) get a yellow for me.' (Then) he handed us the iPhone 5C he bought for us.
"We exchanged high fives and I told him, 'No matter what stupid rumor comes up, I'll always be by your side. Always a Belieber (fan)!' He told us he loved us and went upstairs with his bodyguards… He's sweet and caring and funny."
She also shared a photo of herself posing with Bieber.
The Apple store surprise wasn't the only fan encounter the Baby hitmaker experienced during his Big Apple stay – he had to ask local police to back down on Monday (03Feb14) after they attempted to keep a throng of fans from mobbing him outside his hotel.
Bieber later took to his Twitter.com blog and wrote, "dear cops. my beliebers (fans) wont hurt me. all is ok (sic)."
News of the teenager's generosity emerges on the same day it was announced he will stand trial in March (14) for charges of DUI, resisting arrest without violence and driving without a valid licence following an incident in Miami, Florida last month (Jan14). The singer has pleaded not guilty to the allegations.

If you're a homeowner in Canada, chances are you took out a loan to pay for your house. That load, when taken out from a bank or other lender to pay for a first home, is called a first mortgage. First mortgages are paid back with a set interest rate over an amount of time agreed to by both the homeowner and private mortgage lender. Many homeowners choose to take on additional loans so they can use the money improve the home and/or cover other financial needs. Subsequent loans taken out are called a second mortgage, a third mortgage, and so on.
Owning a home is often considered to be the biggest investment one can make; however, most people do not have the funds required to make such an important purchase: that's where first residential mortgage comes in. Typically provided by banks or other financial institutions, first mortgages see the lender pay the money in full to the selling party, while the homeowner pays the money back to the lender as their first mortgage over an agreed period of time.
First mortgages are a huge responsibility, so those people considering one should consideration the following factors before making their final decision:
Credibility of the Lender: When it comes to something as important as first mortgage loans, you should always thoroughly research the lender before meeting them, let alone agreeing to any terms.
Loan Amount: It's vital that potential borrowers determine a loan amount that lets them both buy their home and repay the sum to the lender in a way that doesn't add stress. A good way to do this comes from going over your finances first, then examining your income and debts. Finally, based on your remaining debts, determine a loan amount that you can repay comfortably; only then should you begin looking at housing options.
Rate of Interest: When searching for a suitable first mortgage, make a list of trustworthy mortgage lending institutions, determine the needed loan amount, and then compare the interest rates being offered by various lenders you're considering. This way, you'll be able to figure out the current market interest rate. Since lenders offer both fixed and variable rates of interest, ensure you choose the most suitable one for you by acquiring the help of a professional mortgage advisor.
Time Period: Another important aspect of first mortgages is how long paying back the loan will take. The amount of time it takes to pay back first mortgages can vary between homeowners. Paying back the loan over a short period of time will help to save money on the amount being paid over the course of the mortgage, but may risk stretching your monthly budget to the limit. In comparison, paying your mortgage over a longer period of time will mean paying more interest, but allow for greater financial freedom.
While first mortgage loans in and across Ontario should not be taken on lightly, circumstances may require you to break out of your first mortgage. If you are looking to break out of your mortgage, you should contact the lender immediately to get an understanding of the conditions The penalties of breaking out of first mortgages often include interest rate differential (IRD) charges, which are calculated by the lender to compensate them for the loss of money through the interest rates as a result of the early breakout. First-time home buyers considering breaking out of their first mortgage should get help from a professional mortgage advisor who can help them calculate the necessary amount and help them make an educated decision.
Breaking out of first mortgages may be inconvenient, but when you consider the future, it may just be the best solution. Even though there are penalties involved with breaking first mortgages earlier than the date of maturity, it can potentially save homeowners thousands of dollars over the course of their mortgage.
Most lending institutions have penalties for breaking out of first mortgages before the date of maturity so, depending on the penalty, there may not be an advantage to doing so. You should speak with a mortgage advisor who can calculate the penalty and help you to weigh your options to see what works best for you before you take steps towards deciding whether to break or renew your current mortgage.

A medical emergency center is being proposed in Oregon at the corner of Dustin and Coy, according to city officials.
"The property that has been for sale for quite a while at the corner of Dustin and Coy has been sold and will be developed as a medical emergency center," Councilman Jerry Peach said at a council meeting Dec. 19.
The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of Thomas Zich for the 1991 murder of his wife, whose body was found in the trunk of her car parked on an East Toledo street.
The appeals court affirmed the guilty verdict reached by a Lucas County Common Pleas Court jury in 2009 – a case that drew widespread interest because it had been a cold case reopened and involved several police agencies.
On Dec. 17, First St. John Lutheran Church, Seaman Street, Toledo, hosted the Toledo Symphony Orchestra for a gala holiday concert held as part of the church's 150th anniversary celebration.
The church was decorated in holiday finery for the sold-out concert, which was conducted by Jeffrey Pollock, has been planned in celebration of the church's 150th anniversary. The church will be decked out for the gala performance, which will include a wide range of Christmas songs, including "Adeste Fidelis," "Song of the Bells," and a Christmas singalong.
Genoa Village Council approved its $8.3 million temporary budget for 2012 at Monday's meeting.
State law mandates passage of a temporary budget before year's end. March 31 is the deadline for a final budget.
The legislation was passed with an emergency clause, which means the budget takes effect immediately rather than the normal 30-day waiting period after item's passage, according to Fiscal Officer Chuck Brinkman.
Looking for something to do with family and friends between the Christmas and New Year's holidays? Why not visit the Toledo Museum of Art and take part in The Great Art Escape – five days (Dec. 27–Dec. 31) full of arts activities for the whole family.
Each day of The Great Art Escape will feature different programming related to the Museum's art collection. There will be storytelling, performances in the Great Gallery, mini-performances highlighting works of art in the TMA collection, drawing in the galleries and the chance for visitors to sketch designs and see Museum artists create their designs in glass.

This four-disc, 47-track box set collects in a single package Wilson Pickett's first four albums for Atlantic Records, including 1965's In the Midnight Hour, 1966's The Exciting Wilson Pickett, and 1967's The Wicked Pickett and The Sound of Wilson Pickett, which means classic sides like "Land of 1000 Dances," "Mustang Sally," "Funky Broadway," and "In the Midnight Hour" (which is included in this set twice in the same recorded version) are all here, although a greatest-hits anthology might be a more concise and more efficient introduction to this exciting soul singer. ~ Steve Leggett

Great tent
Road out 4 days worth of rain in this tent and was dry the whole time, super easy setup and takedown, much easier with a extra set of hands though. Great for camping with 3 other people to make up for it being slightly larger and bulkier than some other backpacking tents
Excellent Value, Excellent Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this tent for a backpacking tent for the family. At 8lb4oz it delivers what I needed; compare at 3-4 lbs per one man tent for the bucks. One can carry the tent and others can carry the food, water, other lbs items. Very happy with the tent have used it 5 times to date.
Great bang for your buck!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
We set up this tent in our backyard to get familiar with it - ALPS really do give you alot of bang for your dollar. Lots of fabric to keep you warm, so, so easy to set up, aluminum poles, light weight 4 person tent, packs down to 22" long, waterproof fly, taped seams and the cross pole created so much more head room - I do believe this tent will serve our purpose very, very well.
So... Why only 4 stars?

Well it was a bit of a different trip this time around as it also doubled as my 10 year wedding anniversary. Despite that, I hung out with the same amazing people as always and met a few for the first time.
- Went to the GlibShark panel as @OboeCrazy, @RoadBlock, and @Jengaship are three of my most favorite people. Got some moonshine from @spamman4587. Wasn't the last time I took a draw from that gallon Mott's apple juice jug.
- Went to the RoosterSpeak panel and blew up my chest in pseudo pride that something a small group of us created so long ago is still kicking. I also thanked people for carrying it on and loving it like I always should have.
- Went to see @caleb play his "sport." You know what? It was absolutely amazing. Constant action, very cool fans (and I'm talking about the ones who were there for Ultimate and not just the ones to see Caleb in dem shorts), and just an absolute blast. Grabbed a cap from the merch booth and I love it. Hated that I had to leave at halftime.
- Missed out on @nico's panel which was the first for me as it's one of the best ones out there. His love of music is immense and it usually always shows in his panels.
- Had some AMAZING conversations with @JoseDRojas. Seriously. He is probably the best listener and conversationist that I've ever met. While I'm talking about The Button Mash @lukemckay had some of the best stories I've ever heard (glad you're over here, dude).
- Oh shit... I started naming people. Oh God why do I do this to myself?
- Anyone who was there knows that you cannot compile a list of "stuff I did at RTX" without including the fucking motherfucking Booze Cruise. Manda... I know I've told you in person... You absolutely knocked this out of the park. <3
Ok, I know I didn't name everyone (such as @GoobertheGr8 and his wife, who happens to be fantastic, @Goobet or the ever... something... @Giries), but I had an absolute blast. It was a very memorable 10 year anniversary with my wife, @doppsgrl, who's the greatest of them all.

Steve Johnson New Hockey Assistant Coach
The USHL's Fargo Force are confirming via a press release on their website that their Head Coach Steve Johnson is leaving the job to fill the assistant coach position at St. Cloud State.
"Moving onto St. Cloud is an opportunity that I look forward to, but will very much miss the enthusiasm and stamina of the Fargo Force," Johnson said.
Johnson will replace Eric Rud who left the Huskies to accept the Head Coach position with the USHL's Green Bay Gamblers in late August.
Johnson took over in Fargo in 2009 for Dean Blais after a long career behind the bench for the Lincoln Stars. In his career in the USHL, he ranks fourth all-time in wins and has been named USHL Coach of the Year three times.
While he moves to the NCAA ranks behind the bench for the first time, Johnson is no stranger to the WCHA. A forward for North Dakota in his playing days, Johnson won a National Championship in 1987 and scored 191 points in 153 games over four seasons. In his senior year, he earned a Hobey Baker Finalist nomination after scoring 85 points.
KVSC will have more on this story as it continues to develop.

"When an invincible weapon deals with an impenetrable defense, war is useless. The wisest decision is to ceasefire and do synergy."
Related quotes
"Don't embarrass yourselves trying to fit in with these dummies of society...these people don't know any better."
"There is strong synergy with consumer electronics. The core of a robot could ultimately be a cell phone."
"Synergy: The combined effect of individuals in collaboration that exceeds the sum of their individual effects."
Contributed by: George Lewis
"The whole purpose is to fill hotel rooms and create a synergy for the city that all the entertainment venues can appreciate. Because this crowd is such a mellow crowd, we don't anticipate any issues whatsoever."
"We originally joined IPG for the same reasons all agencies join big holding companies: 'synergy,' mutual benefit to the agencies and the clients. We've largely missed any business benefits from being owned, and instead have maintained our own highly independent operating style. The lesson here is age-old: Be careful what you wish for."

Why does that make it the 'Dyson' of computer cases? Dyson vacuum cleaners are, admittedly, pretty ugly, but they are hugely effective, well designed, very practical and very ergonomic, which is why they have become the best sellers in the UK at least, if not the world.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyGibbs, former editor of Yachting magazine, knows the boating world and his first novel reflects it. Young Gillian Verdean's great-uncle Dennis dies of a brutal beating on board the ketch Glory. Dennis's pastmainly rum- and gun-runningwas shady at best and it soon becomes clear that some of his associates are after Glory, which apparently holds a treasure, the nature and whereabouts of which were known only to Dennis. Two arms-suppliers to Col. Qadaffi, the slick Visconti and the nasty Hals, vie to wrest the boat from Gillian. Hals even plants ex-mercenary Patrick O'Mara aboard as a spy, a plan that seems destined for success when hunk O'Mara and Gillian fall into bed. Even the beautiful Emerald, ex-girlfriend of Uncle Dennis, a porn star looking for money to set herself up as a madam, has designs on the ketch. Eventually Gillian, O'Mara, Emerald and rum-soaked skipper Barr join forces to fight the Visconti and Hals faction. Most of the action takes place ashore, but the climax, in a storm off Fire Island, is a bang-up one. And although characterization isn't very deep, readers will enjoy the terrific pace. Troll Book Club alternate. (June)
Editorial Reviews
Library Journal - Library JournalThis sailing thriller employs an old but serviceable plot: both good and bad guys chase after unidentified hidden treasure on an old sailboat, Glory. Gibbs knows and loves sailing, but the novel itself is pretty thin. The stock characters include the whore with a heart of gold; the sexy, quick-thinking Irishman; the emotionally scarred sailor-preppy (who speaks in the author's voice and is the best of the lot); and Gillian, Glory' s thin-but-spunky owner. There are also gangsters with Italian names or shady paramilitary pasts, and some very strange anomalies. For example, Gillian is supposedly impoverished, but she drives an RX-7 Mazda and lives in Westport. Such inattention to details reinforces the reader's sense that the novel does not take place in real time with real people. Louise A. Merriam, L.E. Phillips Memorial P.L., Eau Claire, Wis.

Crunching the Numbers: Tax Planning and Accounting in the Silver State
Despite all the thunder, lightning and tumult that surround the federal government in this election year, taxpayers are catching a break as they develop their tax-reduction strategies. At the end of 2015, Congress moved to make 20 tax-relief provisions permanent, which removes the year-end guessing games that bedeviled taxpayers and their advisors in recent years.

The results are in: according to the National Retail Federation, princesses represent the top children's costume for 2015, followed by Frozen characters, Star Wars heroes and heroines, and finally, Minions. For adults, witches reign supreme for the eleventh year in a row, with Star Wars characters elevating to the number 5 spot from 12th last year.
With the holidays around the corner, many families may fear the cost of Halloween this year. Since no one wants to be left out of the fun, we've come up with 55 easy and creative costumes (including 2015's most popular!) for adults, children, couples and groups that won't cost you an arm and a leg, (unless you're a real zombie, that is).
1. Progressive Insurance's Flo: All you need is a white shirt, white apron, name tag and a headband and you're set to cut insurance deals for fellow party goers.
2. Duck Dynasty's Willie: Everyone's favorite duck-calling family offers great material for an easy Halloween costume. Take Willie's signature style, for example: jeans, black or flannel button-up, stars-and-stripes headband and of course, the beard.
3. The Hunger Games' Katniss: While Effie Trinket's getup may cost you some coin, the elder Miss Everdeen's look can be acheived on a District 12 budget. Pair a basic tee with khaki or brown pants tucked into boots. Sport a black-hooded coat or brown leather jacket, and style your locks into a chic side braid. Complete the look with a cheap bow-and-arrow set, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
4. Han Solo: The original Star Wars hunk offers a low-maintenance costume achievable by anyone with a pair of black pants, a black vest, and a white or cream peasant top with a V deep enough to showcase your manly chest hairs. Finish off your look with a wide black belt and basic chrome buckle.
5. The Nerd: Some can go from work to Halloween parties without a change of clothes, but for non-nerds, pair high-water pants, a short-sleeved dress shirt buttoned to the top with pens in the pocket and appropriate ink stains. Take the nose and mustache off a set of Groucho glasses and you've completed the look.
6. Minion: One of the easiest costumes on the list is also one of the most popular this year. Kiddos can channel their inner minion with a hooded yellow shirt or sweatshirt, denim overalls and oversized goggles. Young adults and ladies: if you want to ruin childhoods everywhere, feel free to sport the "sexy minion" look with a yellow crop top, hot-pant overalls and DIY headgear.
7. Miley Cyrus: This one is best left to childless adults. After all, no one wants to see Mommy twerking in a barely-there getup. To achieve this look, wear nude-toned boy shorts and a sports bra or well-fitted crop top. Divide your hair into pig tails and create two small buns at the top of your head. Complete the look with red lipstick and lots of tongue wagging.
8. Repo Man: Nothing is scarier than the guy who wants to tow your car away. For this look, go casual with jeans, a well-worn t-shirt and a backwards ball cap. Carry a toy tow truck or tow chains to complete the frightening spectacle. Since Zombies are all the rage this year, why not really scare your friends by turning into a Zombie Repo Man. See below for fake blood and fake wound recipes.
9. Princess Leia is a great combination of this year's trendiest costumes. While her Jabba look is a popular choice, children and the more conservative might opt for her head-to-toe white frock and signature cinnamon-roll hair. Search for a white long-sleeved blouse and floor-dusting white skirt from your local thrift shop, and complete the ensemble with a wide, futuristic belt. If you don't have enough hair to achieve the brunette ear muffs, you can sport a trendy milkmaid braid instead.
10. The Lone Ranger: This year's iteration of the Lone Ranger offers a more approachable look than the original's charcoal unitard. Grab a white button-up, black vest, brown pants and black blazer for the outfit. Tie a red sash around your neck, affix the signature black eye mask, and top off the look with a white cowboy hat and ranger pin.
11. Job Seeker: Whether you're unemployed or gainfully employed, this costume is a cinch. Dress in your favorite suit, grab a suitcase and resume and you're set to go. Those truly unemployed might want to stock the briefcase with real resumes, just in case that perfect job prospect shows up at the party.
12. Mortgage-backed Security: Financial whizzes need only wrap a lightweight dollhouse in chains or ropes to make this costume work. Pair a business suit with a briefcase and strap the house to your back. For an added touch, paint your face black and blue.
13. Backwards Man: This simple concept was popular in the 1980s and is due for a revival. Simply put your clothes on backwards, pad your front to give yourself some "back" and voila, you're ready.
14. A Recyclable: Wear a trash can adorned with empty bottles and cans and you've created a trendy costume.
15. Mayhem: Allstate has their advertising down, first reassuring us with the calming voice of that guy who used to be president on 24, and then making us LOL with their Mayhem character. The latter makes for a super-easy Halloween costume -- just wear a basic suit and tie, sport a five o-clock shadow and affix a butterfly bandage to your face.
16. Darth Vader: Everyone's favorite Dark Lord of the Sith represents the ultimate villain this year with renewed interest in the franchise. An all-black ensemble complete with a swooping cape and characteristic mask is all you need to strike fear into the hearts of quivering jedis. And don't worry - the price of that mask isn't nearly as scary as you think. Use one of our Halloween costume coupons to save on this essential starting at just $12.99.
17. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Seth Grahame-Smith paired up with the very late Jane Austen to create a bestseller that would make a killer costume. Since Austen's ladies wore light-colored, high-waisted gowns, shop the nightgown aisle for the basis of your costume. Pile your hair on your head, slather on the fake blood and insert a few wounds (see recipes below) and you're good to go.
18. Michael Jackson: The hottest costume this year is the late, great musician. You can choose from any of several Michael Jackson permutations, but the easiest costume combines high-water black pants, a billowing white shirt and white t-shirt, white socks, black loafers, a white glove (sequins optional) and black loafers. Adults have the option of grabbing their crotches and spinning at every opportunity.
19. Email (males only): Wear what you like and cut two E shapes out of fabric or paper. Glue them to the front and back of your shirt and you're an E-male.
20. Gangster: Some may prefer the under-dressed Sopranos look, but for a traditional gangster you'll need dress pants, a vest, fedora and toy machine gun. Considering the zero-tolerance policies at most American schools, children may prefer to nix the gun for an empty violin case.
21. Coach: Whether male or female, basketball, football or hockey, a coach makes an easy costume for the man who want to feel comfortable all night while supporting his local team.
22. The School Girl: Want to go sexy this year? No man can resist the ever-innocent school girl. Short-short skirts, a dress shirt tied at the cleavage, white socks and the briefest of blazers can all be found at your local Goodwill-type store. Tie your hair up in pigtails and watch the guys drool.
23. Little Red Riding Hood: If properly executed, the LRR can be innocent or sexy. The real key is a red cape made of any material and a basket filled with bread and jams.
24. Witch: Dressing as a witch is easy-peasey since a cheap, pointy hat is all you need to convey the look. If you want to get technical, pair the hat with a black dress, striped stockings and a pair of Mary Janes. We like What I Wore's take on the classic Wicked Witch of the West -- floppy hat, trendy black coat and of course that signature green skin.
25. Grandma: While modern grandparents are more likely found on a cruise than in a rocking chair, the traditional granny is still a fun and easy costume that primarily requires you get into character. Turn an old afghan into a shawl, paint lines on your face with eyeliner and powder your hair and your good to go. Make sure and pad the belly for the Grandpa look.
26. Princess: As the top children's costume for 2015, it's imperative you know how to turn your little one (or yourself) into a Disney-worthy junior monarch. Happily, a tiara and pouffy dress from the thrift store is all you need to portray the traditional idea of a princess (bonus for elbow-length gloves). There are many interpretations, however, and you can take a modern (and far more frugal) approach by adopting these "if Disney characters were in college" ideas here and here (thanks Buzzfeed!).
27. Non-sheet Ghost: Wear an old nightgown or wedding dress (white clothes for men). Sprinkle your hair with baby powder and on your skin for a from-the-tomb look.
28. Pile of Laundry: The perfect costume for college students! Simply pin clothes onto an old outfit or, for a more complex costume, cut the bottom out of an old laundry basket, fill it with clothes and wear it around your waist.
29. Vampire: These days, dressing as a vampire is as simple as a blowout, glamour makeup and a perfected pout. If you want to go the more traditional route, invest a couple bucks in a set of plastic fangs. Pair black pants with a white button-up and affix a black sheet or piece of fabric to the collar for a cape. Paint a dribble of blood at the corner of your mouth and perfect your diabolical laugh.
30. Rainy Day Kid: Glue tinsel to the edges of an open umbrella to provide the effect of running water. Spray your skin with glittery body spray for a damp look and toss on a raincoat and boots. You'll have your friends hunting for storm clouds.
31. Tombstone: Cut two large tombstone-shaped pieces out of cardboard and paint them gray. Add moss and dirt by sponge-painting green and brown. Let the cardboard dry and paint an appropriate inscription in black. Punch two holes on either side of both pieces and fasten them together with yarn or string cut long enough so the cardboard can be worn as a sandwich sign. Make sure you wear black to set off the tombstone.
32. Monster: Cut different shapes of fabric strips of every color. Sew or glue them to a sweatsuit with hoodie, leaving no blank spaces. (Add a hat if you have no hood.) For best affect, the sweatsuit should be too large but make sure children won't trip on extra fabric.
33. Work of Art: This couldn't be easier: Hang a large picture frame around your neck. If you want to make it complicated, consider dressing up as a specific work of art, such as the Mona Lisa or a Van Gogh self-portrait.
34. Tourist: Nearly everyone has a Hawaiian shirt in their closets. Add some Bermuda shorts, sandals with socks and sling a camera around your neck. For a humorous look, stuff the rear end of your pants and put brochures in your pockets.
35. Buccaneer: Attach a dollar to each ear. Buck-an-ear...get it?
36. Babysitter: Strap a baby doll to your rear end and sit on it. Sick, but easy.
37. Leaf Blower: Dangle a leaf from the bill of a baseball cap. When asked about your costume, just blow on the leaf. This same concept can be used for a Snowblower costume.
38. Gangrene (for groups): The whole gang wears green and travels together.
39. Q-Tip: Dress entirely in blue and cover a cap and your shoes with cotton balls.
40. Melted Snow Man: Here's a wet one. Douse your body with water and bring a carrot, scarf and two sticks. Continue the dousing all night for the full effect.
41. Hole-in-one: Golfers will love this easy costume. Just cut a large numeral 1 out of a piece of cardboard and cut a hole in the middle of the 1. Attach the cardboard to your chest and let them guess.
42. Quarter Pounder: For the very laziest costumer, carry a quarter and a hammer. Prepare to demonstrate pounding the quarter with the hammer when called upon to explain your costume.
43. Autograph Book: This is one costume you may never want to throw away. Dress all in white and carry a Sharpy pen then ask people to sign your clothes. This could be particularly fun for grade-schoolers or children learning to write.
44. 50 Cent: Don't be surprised if you're not the only rap fan to tape two quarters to your chest.
45. Pull Toy: Only the agile should attempt turning themselves into a pull toy by donning skates and tying a rope around their waist.
46. Pin-up Girl (females only): Pin safety pins in the shape of an arrow pointing upwards onto a colored shirt .
47. Blackmail: Wear all black and glue postage stamps to your chest.
48. Chia Pet: Wrap yourself in duct tape with the sticky part on the outside then roll on your lawn. Not to be attempted during snow laconic grin.
49. Web site: Turn yourself into a Web site by draping fake spider webs all over a pair of eyeglasses.
50. Soldier or Hunter: Fans of camouflage should already have the makings for these costumes in their closets, but make sure your gun is obviously a toy.
51. Flower Power: This one's a perennial favorite. Whether you were a hippy or merely descended from hippies. The key is to top your outfit off with a bandanna.
52. Grape Bunch: Blow up purple or green balloons and attach to a simple costume or all-black clothing.
53. The Peas (for couples): Both should wear green sweat shirts. To create a black-eyed pea, pin a paper P to the shirt and blacken one eye. A split pea requires cutting the paper P in half and attaching each half to a string around the neck.
54. Pumpkin: Accent an orange sweat shirt and pants with a green baseball cap (worn backwards, naturally). Thicken the middle by tying a rolled-up towel or blanket under your shirt. For a jack-o-lantern, pin black felt triangles to the shirt in the pattern of a ghoulish face.
55. Cereal Killer: Attach small-sized cereal boxes to your clothing and insert plastic knives.
FAKE BLOOD RECIPE: 1 cup Karo syrup, 1 Tbsp. water, 2 Tbsp. red food coloring, 1 tsp. yellow food coloring. Mix everything together in a mixing bowl. You may need to add some blue to get the right color.

National campaigns don't really take place in in crowded halls, lobbyist lunches, debates, or even in the media. While each of these are important, they only matter because they provide cash - or create images - that help influence and shape what takes place on the real field of battle: the human imagination.
This may seem painfully obvious to some, yet its implications are subtle, and it's one reason why Barack Obama is so far behind in the polls. He is now going to be pressed to respond by changing his strategy, which he should. But if he changes in the wrong way the result could be fatal to his campaign. Should he go on the offensive? Sure - but only in a manner that fits his overall context, and only if he also finds several key issues that demonstrate he is the candidate of the future and its promise.
Polls and other quantitative measurements have their place, but campaigns suffer when they're emphasized at the neglect of the qualitative. Those qualitative campaign factors resonate on a number of conscious and unconscious levels, the way musical notes resonate with heard and unheard overtones. When they clash they make people uncomfortable.
In other words, a campaign isn't just an input/output model in the systems theory sense. It's also a work of art. It needs a literary or artistic coherence just as much as it needs an analytical foundation of policies and polling - and ideally, the two should operate in harmony.
For lack of a better term, let's go neologistic and call these overtones a "metacampaign." Metacampaigns aren't about policy. After all, campaign isn't just about itself anymore than a John Ford western is just about cowboys. If a "campaign" - the overt statements and policy positions of a candidate - conflicts with its own "metacampaign," the result is what anthropologist Gregory Bateson called a "double bind."
When Bateson used the term "double bind" he was describing the emotional trap family members are placed in when they're told something verbally (e.g. "I love you no matter what you do") that is contradicted by nonverbal messages. While this doesn't cause schizophrenia, as Bateson originally thought, it can certainly create problems. And it can exist in larger social groupings than the family.
While some of the reasons for Obama's current poll standings have been identified, there's been little or no discussion of the double bind issue. His campaign and his "metacampaign" have sometimes seemed out of sync. That's created a cognitive dissonance that can prevent people from becoming fully comfortable with him.
It's premature to suggest he can no longer win, as some Washington insiders are now saying (although if he doesn't act quickly that 'conventional wisdom' could become one more datum that gets fed into the public imagination.) But if reports like this one are accurate, his contributors are getting worried and are stepping up the pressure on him. That could cause him to replace one double bind with another by going on the offensive the way any traditional politician would.
The Obama "campaign" has made some understandable choices. Since he is African American and relatively young, they've elected to present him as conciliatory, as a unifier, and as a compassionate but cerebral figure. That makes good political sense, and it appears to suit his personality. But it's been done in a way that conflicts with his 'metacampaign,' which clearly identifies him as a figure of dramatic if not revolutionary change. Excess of caution, which might be seen as judicious in another candidate, reads as something approaching insincerity in Obama's case (even though it's probably exactly the opposite - to this outsider, it appears to reflect a genuinely judicious and contemplative nature.)
Fortunately for Obama, recent history gives us a precedent for handling this kind of campaign/metacampaign dissonance: Bill Clinton. If campaigns are works of art, Obama would do well to learn from the best artist of our time. Bill Clinton delivered the DLC message on many issues of substance, especially in his re-election campaign, yet managed to do so in a way that didn't conflict with his 'metacampaign' symbolism (which in many ways resembled Obama's.) He was able to preach centrism and still excite the electorate, because he was able to coordinate his change-oriented 'metacampaign' with his centrist speeches.
How can you talk about school uniforms and still appear dynamic? Bill found a way, by tapping into his own empathetic streak. Because he used school uniforms as an expression of warmth and compassion, rather than rigidity and control, this expression of social conversatism harmonized with the "new-style politics" image he conveyed.
Whether consciously or instinctively, President Clinton found a way to coordinate his campaign message with his metacampaign. The eye contact, the expressions of human concern, the lip-biting - people made fun of them, but they worked. They created harmony between his nonverbal and verbal messages, and brought his audience out of its double bind.
Should Obama start biting his lip? Hardly. Should he respond to falling numbers by going on the attack against Hillary, as he has begun to do? Yes - but carefully. He has to differentiate himself on both substance and symbolism. He has to take on her key differentiator - 'experience,' which as used by her campaign really means 'eight years of proximity to Presidential power.'
That means taking on the DLC-driven politics of the 1990s head-on. That means taking on lobbyists and consultants directly - including Blackwater lobbyists. And that means taking on the Big Dog - that is, Bill Clinton - in the right fashion. Obama's recent attack on "triangulation and poll-driven politics" is precisely the kind of thing he needs to do to gain ground. Yet Obama's kind of change should not be seen adversarial or "political," that is, based on old conflict paradigms. In other words, while his politics will essentially be progressive, he should be conveying this theme: Neither left or right, but up.
So he needs to confront the triangulation issue head-on, as he's doing. And Bill gave him a model he can now use against Hillary: When Bill thanked and "honored" President Bush in their debate for his years of service, it was a loving kiss of dismissal. Obama must eventually find a way to administer the same tender farewell to the former President and First Lady, without alienating them and their supporters, if he is to win the nomination.
But here is what's even more important than any adversarial strategy: Obama needs to introduce some exciting, new ideas that transcend the classic left/right paradigm. He could take on global warming as a cause that defines our national purpose, the way that the WPA did in the 1930's and reaching the moon did in the 1960's. He could adopt a new direction on national security that draws upon the best and not the worst of who we are as a nation.
And there's one issue where Obama has already drawn a clear policy distinction between himself and his rivals, including Sen. Clinton: healthcare. Obama can use the mandate issue, and healthcare in general, to differentiate himself as the "opportunity candidate," a position that fits with his youthful image and future-based orientation.
He also needs to show why he, and not Hillary, would be a better candidate against Giuliani. And lastly, he needs to show how he can excite the Democratic base before Chris Dodd or another dark-horse candidate takes that opportunity from him. (Sen. Clinton can neutralize this kind of threat from Obama and others by shifting her strategy and abandoning triangulation, which would also help align her campaign and metacampaign - but there's no sign at this point that she will.)
Obama needs to reframe his race with Hillary, and he needs to find those core issues that differentiate him from all his competitors. But he needs to act soon. Time is not on his side.

Grateful for Gratefulfest
Keepers of the flame. Revivers of the vibe. The ultimate players in the game of cover band glory.—Whatever title you pin on Dark Star Orchestra, doesn't nearly encapsulate their dedication, precision and drive. Getting everything right, even the simple sounds of instrumental tuning, is something that they take very seriously.
Most tribute bands fall short of capturing the true essence of their musical pioneer predecessors.

Homemade potato and ham soup. Dh works late shift so I always cook early and I made enough so we can eat lunch and dinner out of it.

We had pork chops baked in a bag that comes with the seasoning, 3-cheese agrutin potatos and the dh had a steamed side of cauliflower with cheese (yeah he had a lot of cheese!).
I made turkey noodle soup. I used the rest of the turkey from Christmas dinner.
