Priyanka Chopra and Viola Davis Cover Elle's Women in TV Issue
Elle's 2016 Women in TV issue features three women of color on the cover, proving that when you actually put diversity onscreen, it ripples nicely into other arenas. Who woulda thought?
Elle's 2016 Women in TV issue features three women of color on the cover, proving that when you actually put diversity onscreen, it ripples nicely into other arenas. Who woulda thought?
Another year has passed and with that passing we again meet The Hollywood Reporter's annual actress roundtable. And just like last year, every single woman on the cover is white.
Lack of diversity within the tech industry is still a blatant issue, but especially glaring is the scarcity of black women. Using data from a 2014 Equal Employment Opportunity report, the Verge put together a graph last month breaking down the racial diversity of some of tech's biggest companies, such as Google,…
There seems to be this odd movement to make feminism trickier than it should be. Hey, do you respect women and think that they deserve equality in all spaces of the world? Cool, get on board.
The Hollywood Reporter released its annual actress roundtable issue and boy was it diverse: two brunettes, three blondes and—wait for it—two whole redheads. It is a triumph of white lady heterogeneity.
Even though I love getting lost in the world of a costume drama — sumptuous fabrics, whispered intentions, heaving bosoms restricted by corsets, earnest declarations of love — these movies seldom love me back. But Belle is different.
Tess Paras is an Asian-American actress who is tired of being cast as a white lady's nerdy or sexy sidekick. She also happens to have a little bit of musical talent kicking around. And, you know, since Royals is such a fun song to parody on account of the fact that it's got all kinds of lyrics, she and two of her…
On Friday, President Obama nominated Vice Admiral Michelle Howard to be the vice chief of naval operations. If confirmed, Howard will not only be the first woman to become a full admiral, but will also be the first woman and the first African-American to hold the Navy's number 2 position.
On Wednesday, the internet was atwitter over now-confirmed rumors that SNL, on the hunt for a black female cast member, held a "secret" audition in Los Angeles last week. But what you might not know is that, according to a tipster, there was one held here in NYC, too, the night before. We have the list of who was at…
Amani Starnes is a working actress who happens to be racially ambiguous. Hollywood is basically the Baskin-Robbins of racism (so! many! flavors!). Mix the two well and you get a forehead slapping concoction that would be hilarious if it weren't tragically true. You get the new web series "The United Colors of Amani."
Actress Thandie Newton — along with makeup artist Kay Montano — is launching a new beauty blog on September 16. The ladies hope to be offering a new, different and more inclusive take on the subject.
Yesterday, the hashtag #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen trended globally on Twitter. But what's THAT mean? Media outlets that produce content specifically for women (and feminist media sources AHEM) have a terrible record of excluding women of color in the conversation, or refusing to address glaring problems with how women…
As the season finale of The Mindy Project airs tonight, it's also been announced that show has been renewed for a second season, which is great: While sometimes uneven and unsure of its purpose — Is it a workplace comedy? A medical sitcom? A show about a single woman? An ensemble show? — the jokes are quick, sharp and…
Any connoisseur of 80's and 90's era kids' sports comedies knows that when the bad guys can't win, they cheat. Cobra Kai tried it, the Urbania Cowboys tried it, and everyone The Mighty Ducks ever played tried it. Now that an increasingly nonwhite population trend has threatened the electoral clout of white people,…
Congrats are in order: NBC has just named Pearlena Igbokwe as the Executive Vice President of Drama Programming. You might think that it's rare to find a woman of color working as a TV exec, but Igbokwe is not alone: There is a bit of diversity to be found at the major networks.
Lack of diversity on HBO's Girls, the surprise success of Scandal and racist rants over the casting of The Hunger Games share a pervasive theme that runs among these and many other conversations: The limited exposure and roles for actresses of color and more specifically, the belief that audiences won't identify…
The folks behind Threadbared have a new fashion blog just for images of women of color; some of the pictures are personal, others are advertising. It's the digital component of a planned exhibition, and we can't stop looking at it.
In May, we found out that VH1 would be working on its first-ever scripted series, which would be sort of like Sex And The City, except with actual black people. Now, some additional details have been revealed.
With the September issue, the new editor of W is announcing his vision to the world. The cover theme is young Hollywood It girls, and somehow, unlike corporate sibling Vanity Fair, W thinks women of color can also be "it."
Lately, the definition of the word "feminist" has become somewhat vague.

PITTSBURGH - It ended with Peter Laviolette and Penguins assistant coach Tony Granato face-to-face, standing on top of the boards with Laviolette holding a freshly broken stick he just smashed on the glass partition separating the two teams.
On the ice in front of them, Wayne Simmonds was busy tangling with Derek Engelland, despite a black eye swollen to the size of a grapefruit, which forced him to wear a visor.
Twenty feet away, Pavel Kubina was chucking knuckles with Matt Niskanen. Brayden Schenn and Joe Vitale were busy hammering away at each other.
It was Old Time Hockey at its finest. Dave Schultz and Eddie Shore would have been proud.

We have had the LG Steam Washer and Dryer now for a month. We originally looked at the most expensive Steam set that comes in blue but realized we didn't need all the extras. I wasn't crazy about white, but decided to choose function over form and it's ridiculous how much I love the set. Thanks to the Steam Dryer I put my iron in the closet. It works great on dress clothes and jeans, even the ones that have been wadded in a laundry basket for some time. The 20 minute steamfresh cycle takes the wrinkles out, but I do recommend doing a 5-7 minute cycle on low afterwards because the clothes will be damp from the steam. The manual recommends hanging them, but it's faster to use a cycle.

This dryer works fine. HOWEVER, 1. it stops before clothes are dry so I have to keep adding time, 2. there's no permanent press setting, 3. the buzzer can't be heard unless I'm in the next room, and 4. the tumbling stops at the same time that the buzzer starts so there's no chance to get to the clothes before they've sat gathering wrinkles. Setting a kitchen timer (that I can hear) doesn't really help because the dryer adds time if clothes aren't dry by the estimated time. I'm spending extra money on electricity and am frustrated by all the extra running up and down stairs I do to check on laundry.

I like my LG Washer - but I LOVE this dryer!!
By Rubysmom
from Florida, United States
The dryer choice has always been: whatever matched the washer...and so it was with my new LG DLEX5780WE dryer. Well, dryers have come a long way baby! This steam technology - who would think, steam in a dryer - is amazing. Clothes come out soft and fluffy and no static cling at all. It doesn't seem like it is as tough on the clothes either, the fabric doesn't feel like it's been roasted in an oven when it comes out. I'm a woman and we don't machine dry the stuff we don't want to shrink, shrivel or turn into a rag, so don't be rash and dry every delicate thing you own in the machine - it's only good for so much. But what it does well is awesome.
Excellent appliance

Purchased with LG washer and they are both excellent. Very easy to use and great features. Best washer/dryer I've owned!
Very efficient
By scdrums
from Cincinnati, Ohio
I like the features of the dual door opening. From the top for wet laundry and from the side to remove the laundry and clean the filter. I still have problems with uneven drying, but that usually applies to tee shirts caught in the fitted bottoms sheets. If you have several different types of materials in one load, like colored clothes, but a mix of cotton and polyester, the cotton ones do not get dry.

I have had this dryer for 2 months now and it is the best one that I have ever owned. The technology is impressive with it's sensor dry and steam capabilities. I am amazed that a dryer can tell just how much time is needed to de-wrinkle my clothing. The steam feature is an added bonus.

It's a couple months old but does a good job with handling large loads. Wife loves the easy access tilt door to drop in the laundry. I like how it notifies me that the load is dry. We may have a problem with the start button.

A man, thought to be in his 20s, was injured about 9 p.m. Thursday when his white GMC pickup collided with a northbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train at the South Georgia Street crossing, said Danny Alexander of the Randall County Sheriff's office.
This was the second accident in two weeks at the location.
The driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was extricated from the wreckage and transported to Northwest Texas Hospital by Lifestar helicopter, investigators said. The driver was reported in critical condition at the time of transport.
The train remained fully on the tracks and the signals were operational at the time of the accident, investigators said.
The collision remains under investigation today.

China Threatens U.S. Sanctions Over Arms Sale to Taiwan
BEIJING – China angrily responded to a decision by the Obama administration to go ahead with a $6.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan by suspending military exchanges, adding to tensions between the countries who are now increasingly at odds over a broad range of security and economic issues.
The abrupt suspension of military visits, programs and talks had been widely anticipated by Washington.
Still, it represents a new blow to military ties, which have long been dogged by mutual suspicions. And it leaves the overall U.S.-China relationship more vulnerable to periodic flare-ups between the two militaries, such as the one in the South China Sea last year when a U.S. surveillance ship narrowly avoided a collision with Chinese vessels crowding around it.
On Saturday, China summoned the U.S. ambassador to Beijing, Jon Huntsman, to a meeting with vice foreign minister He Yafei, who told him that the arms package for Taiwan "constitutes a gross intervention into China's internal affairs", according to a foreign ministry statement. China is "extremely indignant", the statement said.
China has considered Taiwan a rebel province ever since the Nationalists retreated there in 1949 after their defeat by Communist forces in a civil war. Taiwan is the most sensitive issue in U.S.-China relations, and has the capacity to provoke armed confrontation between the world's military superpower and a rising Asian economic juggernaut.
U.S. administration officials believe that despite China's anger over the arms sales, military risks can be contained, particularly since the package did not include F-16 fighters, which Taiwan covets.
The package nevertheless includes some of the U.S.'s most sophisticated weaponry, including 114 advanced Patriot anti-missile systems, valued at $2.8 billion. The largest element is 60 Blackhawk helicopters, costing $3.1 billion. Two mine hunting ships; 10 Harpoon missiles; and 25 advanced command and control systems are also included.
The Chinese foreign ministry said on Saturday the suspension of military exchanges would affect meetings scheduled soon at a vice-ministerial level on strategic security, arms control and anti-proliferation. China will also impose sanctions on the U.S. companies involved in the arms sales to Taiwan.
The row represents a further setback to expectations that the Obama administration harbored in its early days that it could establish a partnership with China to deal with a range of global issues from climate change to Iran. In recent weeks, the rhetoric from both sides has grown sharper.
On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said China risks diplomatic isolation and economic uncertainty if it doesn't join the push to further sanction Iran for its nuclear program.
Mrs. Clinton, speaking in France during a week of intensified efforts to pressure Tehran, voiced perhaps her most pointed comments on Beijing's reluctance to support United Nations penalties to curb Iran's pursuit of nuclear technologies and weapons-delivery systems. China has expansive economic and military ties to Iran and has emerged as the principal obstacle to the Security Council's passage of a new U.N. sanctions resolution, diplomats said.
"As we move away from the engagement track that has not produced the result that some had hoped for, and move forward the pressure and sanctions track, China will be under a lot of pressure to recognize the destabilizing impact that a nuclear-armed Iran would have in the Gulf [region] from which they receive a significant percent of its oil supplies," Mrs. Clinton said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, who met with Mrs. Clinton in London Thursday, repeated Beijing's position that economic sanctions imperil a diplomatic track.
The Obama administration is already engaged in a diplomatic row with Beijing over allegations Chinese hackers violated computer systems of dozens of U.S. companies, including Google Inc. The two sides are also wrestling over trade and currency issues.
Further raising the temperature, President Barack Obama is expected to meet soon with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who is denounced as a separatist by Beijing.
Taiwan's president Ma Ying-jeou, a champion of better ties with China, said the arms sales would help his effort. "With these weapons, we could guard Taiwan more confidently. This will be also helpful for the further development of the cross-Strait relationships," Mr. Ma said on a flight home from a state visit to Central America. "Because when Taiwan is more confident and feel more secured, we could engage more interactions with China," he added.
The island's Ministry of National Defense said in a statement that the sales "would enable Taiwan to be more confident in seeking reconciliation with China and help peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."
Analysts in Taiwan doubted that Beijing's protests would go too far. Alexander Huang, strategic studies professor at Taipei's Tamkang University, said that Chinese leaders have known for a long time that reversing U.S. policy on arms sales to Taiwan will not be easy. "There will be some impact in short term, but none of these would go beyond military issues," Mr. Huang said.

The five most memorable moments at the Grammys
In revisiting the most memorable moments of the 55th Grammy Awards, there are several places we can start. Shall we begin with the surprise album of the year victory by Mumford & Sons?

Video: See Jim James perform with the Roots on "Fallon"
Jim James' new album "Regions of Light and Sound of God" is a solo effort, his first, but the My Morning Jacket had a ton of support--21 musicians in fact, including the Roots--when he performed '50s-style love song "A New Life" on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night.
Alas, James isn't going to have that kind of support when he performs at the Pabst Theater April 19. But with My Morning Jacket, he's an excellent showman - local MMJ shows made my favorite Milwaukee concerts list the past two years. And "God," which is out today, is a wonderful listen. »Read Full Blog Post
Tony Matelli talks about his process
If you look around, there's a sort of quiet, cosmic war going on all around us. You can see it in the cracks of a sidewalk, on attic junk and down the gradual sag of a face. It's our effort against the beat of time. And it seems to be what, at least in part, Tony Matelli is exploring in his sculptural work at the Green Gallery East.
From the outside of the exhibition space, it may seem like you missed the opening night by a few years. Dusty mirrors propped against walls bear the handprints and doodles of bygone humans. Walking up to them for a moment almost channels a quieting, humanistic experience of a cave drawing. And it is then the liminal space you just trounced in on begins to move into focus. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

On Tap Today: Remembering Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf died in 1976, Muddy Waters in 1983, but there are musicians still around today who played with the blues legends, who are keeping their music alive today. Musicians like Jody Williams, a guitarist who played with Wolf, and Bob Margolin, Waters' guitarist for seven years, and Grammy winner James Cotton, who played with both Wolf and Waters.

Rationale.............on a thread like this is an odd question.
First I have experimented on myself for years now. I did cure my thyroid and adrenals by eating whole foods and getting rid of the alergens that were causing my body to attack itself. I am still leary of eating the things that caused the problems in the first place but am not going to sit back and hope my body gets better by not doing anything. I was gaining weight very rapidly when I found out I could not tolerate alot of foods. I stopped eating those foods and started feeling tons better. I still was over weight and could not lose it for anything. Enter Primal blueprint. Which did not work for me on it's own. So a few months in I started paying attention to my lethargy and my eating habits. I would eat breakfast and get really sleepy. Then comes lunch and sleep and serious issues thinking straight. So I started reading the threads on intermittent fasting and Pklopps info and it made sense. I tried it while closely monitoring my temps. If they didn't go up from the 96 to 97 average they were at then I would know that it wasn't helping. Same goes for the adrenals. Only I monitor them by how much my temps fluctuate. If it's more that 3 degrees differenc on average for 3 consecutive days then I know my adrenals are struggling. I am at heart a self experimenter. That is truly where most of my rationale comes from. The potato feast is just another addition as my temps have leveled off and so has my weight loss. So I move on to a new experiment.
Plus just like you I have people I haven't seen in a long time coming and I want to look my best.
Just because I have these endo diseases does not mean I have to settle for fat and boring........
P.S. and as far as the calorie restricting that is only on this potato feast and because I can't eat anymore than about 800 to 900 calories of them(if I'm lucky). I normally do not ever calorie restrict and am avidly against it. That is why it took me this long to try the feast.

"Me knowing Ben, yes," said Ward. "He's going to do whatever it takes to play. He doesn't like to miss games and he's going to go out there and do whatever it takes to be out there for Jacksonville."
Ward should know. He also underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy. His was done before the third preseason game in 2002 and he returned to play in the opener at New England. He caught eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown and went on to a record-setting 112-catch season.
Roethlisberger, of course, will miss Thursday night's opener against the Miami Dolphins after undergoing the procedure Sunday afternoon. He left UPMC Presbyterian Hospital on Monday afternoon and Steelers Coach Bill Cowher said "he's doing fine, eating well and walking around."
Cowher added: "He's always kind of thrived on these kinds of challenges. I think that's what made him what he is today. Just talking to him last night he really seemed fine. He's eager to get back."
Charlie Batch will start Thursday night. The 31-year-old is coming off his best camp with the Steelers, according to Cowher.
Batch started two games last season and the Steelers won both. He'll be backed up by Brian St. Pierre, who was signed to the practice squad Monday. The Steelers released John Kuhn from the practice squad to make room.
A fifth-round draft pick by the Steelers in 2003, St. Pierre played in one game in 2004 and attempted one pass.
In the 2005 preseason, St. Pierre completed 12 of 21 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown (87.2 passer rating), but he was released before the season started and later in September signed with the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad.
When the Steelers attempted to add St. Pierre to their active roster before the Oct. 16 game against Jacksonville, St. Pierre told them he'd rather remain on the Ravens' practice squad.
"I was told by Baltimore I was going to be brought up at the end of the season for four or five games and they actually did that," St. Pierre said from under his old locker room nameplate with his familiar No. 2.
"I wasn't sure if coming back here was just going to be for a couple games with Ben coming back, so I had to make the best business decision for me. It wasn't an easy decision by any stretch, and then to miss the Super Bowl, I mean, that's tough but that's just the way it worked out, but I'm glad to be back."
St. Pierre didn't throw a regular-season pass for the Ravens. In four preseason games this year he completed 7 of 16 for 62 yards, an interception and a 28.6 passes rating. The Ravens kept only two quarterbacks and cut St. Pierre last weekend.
"They weren't going to keep three," he said. "That was made clear pretty early on. At practice the third guy wasn't even getting reps, so I kind of had an inkling it wasn't going to work out there. Luckily for me Pittsburgh needed a guy to come in and I'm glad to be here."
The Steelers won't activate him until they have to. That would leave fifth-round draft pick Omar Jacobs on the practice squad. Cowher said Jacobs has become "more comfortable than he was 10 days ago" with the offense, and Jacobs affirmed that last Thursday night when he played his best preseason game. He finished the preseason with the team's highest passer rating, 99.5, and won't let the signing of St. Pierre affect him in a negative manner.
"It is what it is," Jacobs said. "It's part of the business. I'm not saying anything. I'm not upset at anybody because you never know what can happen in the NFL. I'm staying positive about it and going out and trying to get better every day."
The quarterback breathing a sigh of relief upon the signing of St. Pierre was wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, who was "great in seven-on-seven drills" Sunday, according to Cowher. Wilson hadn't played quarterback since his freshman year at Tennessee in 1997.
"I was a little bit rusty [Sunday] but I completed some passes," said Wilson. "The number one thing for me was taking the snap, saying the cadence, saying the plays. Those are the most important things. Everything else takes care of itself, but I hope it don't come to that point."
Doesn't Wilson want to play quarterback?
"I will," he said. "But I'm praying that Charlie stays healthy."

At this time in your life you may be feeling a bit down because you have no money in your pocket due to some unexpected monthly expenses. This is not a fun time, in fact it is downright frightening when don't have any cash left until your next paycheck. Can you wait that long, or do you need quick cash right now?
Most people who find themselves without any cash are going to need something to get through the month. You may have unexpected bills due that have to be paid, so then you have to make a very unpleasant decision. Do you pay this bill and go without eating, or not pay the bill and occur additional fees? These are tough choices that nobody wants to be faced with.
You may be surprised to learn that there are options available to you, especially if you have a job and a checking account. These are quick cash loans that are issued through payday lenders who use your job as collateral. When you get paid is usually when the loan is due. This way you can get quick cash now, then on your next paycheck or whenever the agreement states the money is due, it will be taken out of your checking account.
If you are looking for quick cash loans the simple way to do it is to go online and look up payday lender. What's great about these types of loans is that they don't check your credit and you can apply for them from the comfort of your own home. There are local shops that offer payday loans to if you need the cash that same day.
Depending on what state you live in will largely determine how much money you qualify for, and what fees can be charged by the lender. Since this is a short-term loan that carries more risk to the lender, expect to pay higher fees. There is cap though on how much the payday lender can charge, but this depends on the state you live in.
Filling out an online application is easy enough, and if approved expect the money to get deposited into your checking account within one business day. In some cases you may even be able to collect the money that same day, but more than likely it will at least one business day.
Make sure when filling out the application everything is correct, otherwise, you may not get approved or it could just delay the process. Have your checking account information available plus the day you get paid. They will want to see proof of income to know that you make enough money to pay back the loan. The minimum amount of money you make and qualify for a loan is determined by the states guidelines.
Once you complete the application process it usually takes a few minutes for them to verify all of your information, then they will either approve you or not. Hopefully, you are approved, and if so expect the money to get deposited into your account the next business day.
As you can see from above, quick cash loans are simple to get and will help you during the short-term. Never use these types of loans as a long-term financial option because that is not what they are meant for. Follow all the guidelines and of course, be sure to pay the money back on time!
It is no secret that our economy is experiencing some difficult times right now, and that fact is not more evident than when you examine the state of affairs of most families, you see difficulties there too.
Employers are downsizing, laying people off, merging, and cutting worker's hours which makes things very difficult for working class families, as they never really know where any money is going to come from in the event there is a financial emergency.
So now enters Fast Cash Loans, a firm that will help families be placed with a short-term lender who will be able to help. With their expert sourcing software, they can find you a lender that will fit your profile. Your credit does not even have to be in top shape, as for the most part, all you have to have is a steady income and a checking account.
The online application is easy to fill out, and once you are approved, you will receive your cash via a direct deposit to your checking account. The stipulation in the loan agreement in most cases will be that the amount of the loan plus interest will be repaid at the next payday of the borrower.
This is not too much a of a burden, as the loan amounts are rather small, in the range of $300 to $1,000, which are much less than most employee's checks for that pay period.
When it comes to funding emergency situations such as a family member having to go to the emergency room or to the hospital, the car or a major appliance breaking down, or a relative out of town that gets sick and needs a visit.
The fact of our situation as an economy is that most working families actually have nothing set aside for these occasions, and end up doing without if and when they occur.
Most families are doing all that they can to keep food on the table and pay for the rent each month, and in addition there are school and medical expenses, utilities and all else that is required of families in this day and age.
Fast Cash Loans is a bright spot in a sea of darkness when it comes to making available ready cash to individuals and families who are in a time of need financially. It gives a nice peaceful feeling to families that can now know that there will be resources available in difficult times.
Payday loans are a quick and easy option when you need money in a hurry. Life can throw curve-balls at us all and sometimes we just aren't prepared financially. Luckily, payday loans can take away some of the sting of being pitched a ball you just weren't ready for. Continue reading to learn more about this loan option when you feel like your hands are tied.
What is a payday loan? In simple terms, it is a loan that should help carry you to your next payday. It is not a large loan and you do not have to go through a complicated process to receive it. Nearly anyone who is able to prove they have a job can qualify for this type of loan.
What if I have bad credit? Typically, credit is not considered when qualifying for a payday loan. There will be factors the lender does consider, such as employment and where you live, but most of the time your credit report isn't part of the picture.
How do I pay back the loan? The procedure for paying your loan off will depend on the lender. Some lenders require the loan amount and interest paid back within a month or so. Other lenders allow you to make monthly payments to pay the loan off. Either way, you will be advised off the payoff process while you are going through the loan process.
All in all, a payday loan is a good option for many people who may find themselves in a bind. Bad credit is no problem and having a steady income along with a place of residence are the biggest factors. Should you find yourself in need of a little help to make it to your payday, a loan is always a good option.
There are a few reasons why you might need to get an emergency cash loan. It's important that you know the process if you do need the loan. You want to make sure that you should be getting a loan, how much it will be for and when you need to pay it back by.
One reason you might need a loan like this is if you have a death in the family and need to fly somewhere and don't have the money to buy a ticket. Because of the situation, you feel like you have to go so you will need to get the loan in order to do so.
Another reason that you might need an emergency cash loan would be if you have a bill you have to pay right away and you have no way to do that. If you get a loan you can pay that first bill and then pay the loan off later when it is due.
You also might need a loan in order to buy something you can't wait for. Some people need certain things right away. Sometimes it is a medical issue or something needed for a move or a change in their lives.
Before you go out and get your loan, make sure it is something you really need. It is not a good idea to run out and get the loan every time you need some extra money. If you find that you want to do this you should change something about your income and your bills so that you will have the amount of money you need each month. Loans for emergencies should be reserved for times when you have no other choice and you need the extra money right away.

RICHLAND HILLS (AP) - A 64-year-old woman was attacked by two pit bulls when she tried to rescue her small dog as it was being mauled, police said.
Frances Price's 11-month-old Shih Tzu later died from injuries suffered in the attack."She was just like one of the kids," Price said. She and her 65-year-old husband had had Mulan since she was six weeks old.
Price was in her front yard on Sunday with her dog when the two pit bulls attacked. She was bitten as she reached down to try to free her dog, police said.
"It's a real bad tear," she said. "I was just so upset because I knew my little dog was going to die."
Police Sgt. A.W. Hicks, of the Richland Hills Police Department, said Price had a single, silver-dollar-sized wound on the top of her forearm.
"She is going to need some plastic surgery," said police spokesman Rob Moore.
When Hicks arrived at the scene, he was prevented from stepping outside his patrol car by pit bulls. He scared the dogs into another yard by blasting the patrol car sirens and air horn. After exiting the car, he was chased back into his patrol car where he waited until the owner of the dogs took control.

An iconic part of the Philadelphia skyline since the 1950s, the "PNB" letters on top of the One South Broad building will be removed by helicopter Sunday, city officials confirmed Friday.
The building recently changed hands, and the new owners requested and received approval from the Philadelphia Historical Commission last month, said Mark McDonald, spokesman for Mayor Nutter.
The 16-foot-high letters spell out "PNB" on all four sides of the high-rise built by the Wanamaker family in 1932. In the early 1950s, the building was purchased by Philadelphia National Bank, which put its name in lights on top of the art deco tower.

Are Networking and Attending Plus Size Events Important?
If you want to become a teacher, it would be in your business to go to school, study and know everything there is to know about the teaching profession. The same stands true of plus modeling! You have to study and READ everything you can about the modeling business. You must know who the movers and shakers are in the industry and become a face that people recognize at events.
Do you go to events? If not, then you should. I've met some amazing women at panels, conferences and when I speak to women around the country.
When attending events, act in a business-like manner. Don't just watch from afar… introduce yourself to people. Bring your photos and pass them along. Make sure your information is on the back.
Remember, in order to be seen and considered, you have to be where the industry people are.
How does social media factor
into plus modeling?
6 Comments
wanted to be in the plus modeling world since I was little…but i found out that the minimum height is 5″7…I'm 5'3. I am so brokenhearted right now. 🙁
I'm 14 and interested in becoming a plus size model. Please send me any information on becoming one.
I am 26, 5'9, and I wear a size 22/3xl. My hair isn't colored, I have fairly good skin, good teeth (but never had braces), and I've been considering trying to get into plus size modeling.
According to your articles, the ideal model would be my height, but a size 12-16. Given that I'm a pear shape, I look more like an 18 than a 22. My measurements are the following: Bust: 51″; Waist: 47.75″; Hips: 56.5″.
Do I have a chance at this? Is it a good chance, or low? Should I try to drop a few dress sizes? I've been trying for a while, but I have a condition that makes losing weight three times more difficult than the average person.
What is your opinion?
Hi my name is Shilow I'm 25 years old my dream is modeling I'm willing to do what ever I need to, to make my dream come true. I'm 5'7 1/2 I'm around 250lb solid my measurements is 43,38,52 I have a beautiful smile, a beautiful face I love taking photos I love to be one with my appearance. Any advice for me. I have No kids and I'm willing to put my all in to my modeling. I just need help on where and how to start.

Numerous fake $100 bills are being passed around town. However, one local gas station clerk knew right away that one was fake when a customer tried to pass it off as currency.
The man who attempted to pass off the money told a responding officer that he tried to pre-pay for gas, but the clerk confiscated the bill, saying it was a fake.
The clerk told him to call the cops and make a police report. The clerk never indicated if he tested the money, he only told the officer it was in the store safe.
In addition, he said he was hanging onto the money and would send it over to the police department the next day. The officer advised the clerk that this was not how counterfeit money was handled. He said the money needed to be given to police and placed into evidence. The clerk finally agreed to turn the money over.
The victim, who was now out $100, said he got the money from a discount store where he cashed his paycheck.

Victor Fernandes: Otters' Bassin reeling in quality prospects
Sherry Bassin already has convinced one NCAA Division I recruit -- Alex DeBrincat -- to join the Erie Otters. Now he has set his sights on another, Shaun Bily.
Erie wasn't a popular place for prospects like them during this OHL franchise's darkest days. Prospects with other options like NCAA hockey rarely gave the Otters a serious look. Then in August 2010, Connor Brown arrived in Erie as a 13th-round pick in the OHL Priority Selection who had plenty of interest from Division I schools. He chose the Otters.
Four years later, the league's reigning player of the year, CHL's leading scorer (128 points) and one of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization's most promising young players led the Otters to their best season in franchise history, with 52 wins and a berth in the conference finals for the first time since the team won the 2002 league championship.
Those are great recruiting tools Bassin, Otters managing partner and general manager, can use to convince players like DeBrincat, who passed on Division I Massachusetts-Amherst to commit to the Otters.
Now Bassin appears on his way to snagging Bily, a 2014 third-round pick who currently is committed to Northeastern.
"This is a great place. I see a lot of potential here," Bily said during the Otters' rookie development camp last weekend. "This is definitely a place where you can develop and get ready for the next level."
Bily said he was undecided, but Bassin seems rather confident that he will join the Otters.
"I got the feeling he wanted to play here," Bassin said.
Right now, Erie is a great place to be for junior hockey. Bassin needs to take advantage of that.
- The Otters might lose a lot from the OHL's stingiest defense. Spencer Abraham completed his eligibility. Adam Pelech signed with the New York Islanders after the best season of his OHL career (54 points, plus-52 rating in 60 games), so he might be gone. Troy Donnay (New York Rangers) and Kurtis MacDermid (Los Angeles) also have signed contracts.
But the Otters have help on the way. Jesse Saban and Cole Mayo, a pair of 2013 high-round picks, should join young veterans Travis Dermott, Justin Felker and Darren Raddysh. T.J. Fergus (8th round, 2013), Mitchell Byrne (5th, 2014) and Noah Tooke (15th, 2014) stood out at camp. Owen Headrick, who didn't attend camp, was rookie of the year in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and was a finalist for the Canadian Junior Hockey League's top rookie.
- Trent Fox (5th, 2013) showed glimpses of his older brother, Dane, with an aggressive approach on offense, strong puck possession and the ability to finish. But don't expect him to score anywhere near 64 goals in a season.
"I'm a different player," Trent Fox said. "I just work hard every shift. I'll go out there and do my best."

Listen to reggae and dancehall mixes.
Here's one for the dubheads out there! Roots from the UK and mainland EU with plenty of old-school dubs, even more BASS and overall wicked vibes. Digital style, classic roots style, heavy UK steppers style, it's all here! All mixed in the usual BMC-way: one continuous mix, no full tunes, added sound samples and source-info given so you can go and track down these tunes yourself. Variety of singers and producers, one hour of niceness. Two older tracks in here, Dixie Peach's Slaughter and the Disciples Vintage 10", late 80s tunes that fitted in just nice, so were included.
The intro and Old Time Something by Solo Banton are taken from promo-mp3's spread by Reality Shock for the Reggae Got Talent competition. A nice initiative that I took part in by contributing the first 20 minutes of this mix. No results in on that yet, postponed to unknown date, but the total mix was finished and I wanted to get it out to the people, cause I'm very pleased with this one: IT NICE! So here it is, for one and all to enjoy, 60 minutes of heavy dub vibes, not for the weak-hearted! Enjoy.

Through this season alone, he has had to deal without his (deep breath) starting quarterback, running back, slot receiver, left guard, center, right tackle and run-stopping defensive tackle for multiple games at a time.
As Holmgren's team prepares to play the Packers on Monday night, the coach revealed that Robbie Tobeck, the aforementioned center who has missed the last two games with illness, has been hospitalized with an abscess on his hip. Judging from Holmgren's reaction, the condition was longstanding, and its discovery came about by accident. "It turns out he went in and had an MRI done for pains in his hip," the coach said. "And we thought it was a little pull or tear or something, and it turned out he had an abscess in there that they stumbled (on). Only this year.
"Tobeck is in the New England Journal of Medicine about four times," Holmgren continued, presumably with half a smirk. "So they found this thing and they're draining it. He's in the hospital. They've got to watch this thing. He's on heavy antibiotics, I think. I'm going to phone him today and make sure everything's comfortable. He has a private room.
There's no timetable for Tobeck's return, which means that second-year man Chris Spencer, the team's 2005 top draft pick, will start at center again. While Spencer doesn't have Tobeck's smooth relationship with Hasselbeck and familiarity with line calls, his athleticism can make up for inexperience. Certainly, the depleted line can't count Spencer as one of its main issues. However, Holmgren also revealed that right tackle Sean Locklear, who hasn't played since October 22 (ankle) will probably not play – earlier in the week, Locklear had been deemed a game-time decision.
Meanwhile, backup quarterback Seneca Wallace, who led the Seahawks to a 2-2 record during Matt Hasselbeck's knee injury, is currently down in California tending to his sick mother. Holmgren said that Wallace will be back well in time for Monday's game against Green Bay. Hasselbeck has been one of the few bright spots on the recent injury reports.
"I think he practiced pretty well," Holmgren said of his starting quarterback. "He's chomping at the bit to play. That's one of the good things. We get him back, and I think he moved fairly well. We'll just go with him."
Holmgren thought that he might get slot receiver Bobby Engram back this week – Engram has missed the last six games with a thyroid condition – but the prognosis for his return to the field isn't good, and it will be at least another week before the teams leader in receptions in 2005 will be out at least another week. "I have to talk to him," Holmgren said. "His numbers again, the tests that he took, it's my understanding they weren't quite where they needed to be still. We're just going to wait."
Defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, who hasn't practiced this week (foot) may play on Monday, according to the coach.
How is Holmgren holding up under the strain of these injuries? Has there ever been a year in his fifteen-year coaching career where he's had this many players off the field? "I haven't had one, no," he said. "It's no fun. But look, it happens in pro football where you get hurt. Everybody - I mean, we're not the only team. This was my first go-around at this sort of thing, where a lot of your key guys on offense gone."
Assuming that the Seahawks get past the 4-6 Packers (and given their own 6-4 record, nobody should consider that a lead pipe cinch), they'll then travel to Denver to face the Broncos on December 3rd with a bit of winning momentum. The Broncos will have had ten days to prepare after losing to Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. Does Holmgren think that may help his opponent? "It could. Denver is good anyway. And Mike Shanahan I respect as much as any coach in football. He'll have his team ready to play.
"I think that they have ten-day (stretch), you play on Thanksgiving, and then you're going to give your team a couple days off somewhere in there. You're not practicing the whole time typically. But they'll be prepared, they always are. But I don't think they do it that much different then we would do it if we were playing on a Thursday, which we will down the road here."
The real focus for Holmgren is on the last six games overall – this is not a team than can afford to miss any opportunity if they want to have any chance of a home playoff game. "Every game is a key game," Holmgren said. "It always is, but now you're going down the stretch and there is a bunch of people pretty close to one another. But that's no different then most seasons in the NFL.
"In the AFC, Indianapolis for the last few years, couple years, has kind of run out there and no one could catch them during the regular season. The NFC typically has been a little different. The Bears now are having a great year. But you're right, every game at this point, you've got six games left in the regular season, and they all take on special significance."
Does that urgency translate to the players? Might we see a fire we haven't seen before? "I hope so. It should. We have guys that have been around and were with us last year. It's not that they haven't been told. And so they know it, and now they just have to take there feelings and there want to on to the field in a very practical sense and play, play the game properly.
"I think we did some good things in the last month. And I told you, I was very disappointed last Sunday (when the Seahawks lost, 20-14, to San Francisco). We did okay dealing with that, but I wanted to do better. I had hoped to do better. But now, we get guys back and now we have to show some more consistency.
"We have to be better on the field now."
No matter who's on that field – and who isn't.

Generally, people love to present colorless diamond ring as a gift to their partners. However, many people like to pick colordiamonds rings as these looks as stunning as the colorless diamond. The biggest advantage which one can grab from selecting this kind of diamond is to money saving. No doubt, colorless white diamond ring is very expensive and when you have a tight budget, you can give preference to colordiamond rings. When you are unable to find colorless and flawless rare diamonds, you should try to create your own engagement ring with fancy colordiamond.
Fancy Diamond Engagement Ring Creation Process
Well, when you are about to create your own engagement ring of fancy diamonds. You need to follow some basic steps.
Step No.1 Get Some Know-How
There is no need to immediately make a purchase. Try to get as much information as you can about fancy diamonds. Good thing is that you can grab the information right from many online forums and websites of jewelry. Read some articles related to fancy diamonds and know what their characteristics and features are.
Step No.2 Check Latest Trends
I think this is the most important step to follow. You should try to choose that fancy color which is high in demand. Latest trends of fancy rings are available on the web. I suggest you to get an entry into Hollywood ceremonies where you can find which celebrity wears what rings. In simple words, many entertainment websites keep their reader updated about the fancy diamonds rings that are popular among celebrities. Following the celebrities is simply a best way of picking the latest style.
Step No.3 Search Online
You should start your window shopping from online jewelry stores. Actually, wide assortment of engagement rings is available on these portals. Even these sites let you to create your own engagement ring by choosing the best setting, fancy diamonds and shapes. You should design a ring through this website once as it will work as a trial. After this trial, it won't be hard for you to shop the actual ring.
Step No.4 Pick the Color
It's good to start your shopping with the color selection. There are different colordiamonds such as red, pink and blue. While picking the color, you don't need to be careful. Some jewelers sell treated diamonds; diamond which doesn't have actual fancy color but jewelers pass them through different treatments just to give them desired colors. Treated diamonds are less expensive and their quality is also low. Another thing that you should consider when selecting the color is the like and unlike of your partner.
Step No.5 Decide on Setting and Shape
Just like colorless diamond, you are able to find a wide variety of shapes like round, square, marquis, oval, etc. Generally, round shape colordiamond is famous but you can consider other shapes too. When you are going to create your own engagement ring, you feel it hard to decide on the right setting. At this point, I advise you do some home work first. You should smartly check what your partners like to wear often. If this home work is difficult, you need to do nothing but to select the best available setting. Generally, women like side stone setting for the engagement ring.
So, it's time to follow these basic steps and to create your own engagement ring for the big day.
