April 19 1775. 237 years ago today ordinary citizens decided to stand their ground and resist the oppression of the British Crown. Before the day was over men on both sides would die but the birth of a nation had began. Our Freedoms and Liberties began today with the blood of men who stood their ground and has been taken away ever since by the words and deeds of politicians who have trampled on that ground.
Men like Isaac Davis, Paul Revere, Samuel Prescott, Samuel Whittemore, Hezekiah Wymann, John Parker and Joseph Warren to name a few made history by standing up to the worlds strongest army. Dont let their work, their lives and their sacrifice go unrecognized today. Read about your history and where your freedoms came from.
Get off the couch folks and continue to fight to keep your freedoms that these brave men gave you. If your not voting, if your not engaged in the political process, if your not speaking out against the injustices that our politicians bring on us then your not keeping up the fight for freedom those brave men started 237 years ago today.

Video: Nokia 700 review + requests for N9 review
Tipped into us by "AmmAR", is a CNet UK review of the Nokia 700.
Take a look at our hands-on video to see Andy Hoyle get his sausage-fingers on the Nokia 700 — a simple, fuss-free smart phone. The Nokia 700 may be diddy, but the display is incredibly bright and the Web browser supports Flash. The phone runs on Symbian Belle and despite the lack of apps and power, the simple software is very refreshing. Hit play for a sneak peek.
– Small screen, yet big enough for everything but watching movies
– Thin enough to fit into skinny jeans :p
– Bright and Bold screen
– Resizable widgets and multiple homescreens makes it reminiscent of Android
– Perfect fuss free smartphone
Also, some of you may have read that Nokia Australia are sending me an N9 to keep. I have confirmation that it should be here tomorrow. This means my reviews will start over the weekend.
So I wanted to ask all of you, What do you want seen? Demo of the phones features? App review request? Anything at all, simply drop it in the comment section below, and I'll do my best.

DETROIT, MI - Few occasions come to mind for when perusing cars and dressing to the nines go hand-in-hand, but the North American International Auto Show Charity Preview is certainly one of them.
Sequins, bold colors, a few quilts and good old fashioned tuxedos were adorned en masse at the Cobo Center on Friday night for the annual event, which this year raised $4.8 million for children's charities. Check out the photos above for a taste of the evening's attire.
Since 1976, the Charity Preview has raised more than $91 million for southeastern Michigan children's charities - over $47 million of which was raised in the last 10 years alone.
Beneficiaries of the event include Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan, Boys and Girls Hope Detroit, Children's Center, The Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation, The Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) Charitable Foundation Fund, a fund of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, The Detroit Institute of Children, Judson Center, March of Dimes Metro Detroit, and Detroit PAL.
Sheryl Crow headlined the evening's festivities. Tickets for the black-tie Charity Preview were $350.
The Detroit auto show will be open to the public from Jan. 18-26 at Cobo Center, One Washington Blvd., following Press Preview Jan. 13-14; Industry Preview Jan. 15-16; and the Charity Preview featuring musician Sheryl Crow on Jan. 17.
Tickets to the 2014 public show days are $7 for senior citizens and children between 7-12 years old; $13 for adults; and free for children 6 and under.

Gay Ebony Boys
Boys will be boys, but in this case Gay ebony boys will be boys. Having a little fun, the Gay Ebony boys explore a little of their gay pride by experiencing the other's hard cocks in their hands. They can't wait to taste the sweet juice from their lovers' cocks. As one gay ebony boy is demanded to get onto his hands and knees, the other comes in from behind and thrusts his hard cock inside the tight ass. He is aroused by how tight his lover's ass is and thrusts even harder and faster. He reaches around and begins stroking his gay lover's cock while fucking him in the ass.
His gay lover decides to turn the tables and forces his gay male friend on the bed and climbs up slowly on top of him. He takes his hard black cock and begins rubbing it up against this hot ebony boy. He then works his way up to his lover's face and places his dick inside his mouth, longing for the wet moist tongue of this huge hunky ebony boy.
The Gay ebony boy slowly works his tongue around and on top of the head, taking in every inch of his sweet manhood.

By now, you've probably heard the rhetoric: How can 6-1 Wisconsin rank one spot lower in the BCS poll than 6-1 Nebraska? After all, Wisconsin beat Nebraska, and the Badgers' lone setback is more respectable than Nebraska's.
Isn't this supposed to make sense?
Well, no, not for anyone who supports the BCS. There are numerous examples like this where the BCS' complex formula fails. The Badgers are ahead of Nebraska in both the Harris and USA Today polls, but have an average ranking of 24 for the computer polls. Are we really to believe there are 23 Division I football teams that are better than Wisconsin?
A system so complex must measure a number of outside factors the Harris and USA Today polls do not, correct?

In this particular instance, it appears, Kerry was not spurned by the troops.
I stand corrected and apologize for the error.
I do not apologize, however, for ...accounts of Kerry's visit like this one:
"...Everybody avoided him like the plague."
She also points out that wacko lefties had pursued weird theories about this incident. Like the weird theory that the datestamp inside the digital photo might have been accurate. (It wasn't.) Talk about weird theories! Responsible right-wingers would never push weird forgery theories!
Ms. Malkin also points out that the New York Times Sunday Magazine has made unacknowledged errors (*), but she just issued a correction, so her credibility is way, way more credible than the un-credible New York Times.

Last year was the first time I had attended the event...check out my Top 10 Blog Recap from 2008.I'm becoming a huge advocate of the organization and I love their mantra, "Elevating Women Leaders." I'm taking full advantage of the smorgasbord of Strong Successful Women Mentors. As would be expected, attendance is down from last year. But, here is something that is very telling of the organization and it's impact: Since I've been here I've talked to a handful of woman that actually paid their own way to get here. While their company said, "not this year," these women said, "I'm not missing it. I'm investing in me." To me, that speaks volumes. There are a few of us covering the event via Twitter. If you want to follow the conversation, visit www.search.twitter.com and search for #wff or follow me @sexythinker. So far, a pretty popular tweet included a link that showed how accomodating the Gaylord has been:"With the number of woman at this conference the gaylord had to make a few mods http://twitpic.com/25o1u #wff" Tags: amanda, foodservice, forum, hite, revolution, talent, twitter, women Email me when people comment – Follow

According to the Associated Press, the grave was chosen at random of the soldiers that had died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prince Harry served two tours in Afganistan.
The note read "To my comrades-in-arms of the United States of America, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom. Captain Harry Wales."
Stansbery, 21, was killed July 30, 2010 by improvised explosive device while on patrol in Kandahar Province. He is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient. He was a 2007 graduate of Wilson Central High School.

***READ UPDATED STORY HERE: Joe Montana's son officially signs with Tulane football team***
***RELATED COVERAGE: Tulane commitment Nick Montana drawing interest from SEC, ACC programs***
The Tulane football program has developed a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail as of late and it continued Monday.
Mt. San Antonio College quarterback Nick Montana declared that he will continue his college career with the Green Wave, sources at Tulane said.
Montana, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana, was highly recruited out of high school before enrolling at the University of Washington. He redshirted his first year on campus and was the team's backup during his redshirt freshman season where he saw limited action, logging only one start, a 37-21 loss against Oregon State.
Following the season, he transferred to Mt. San Antonio College to play a season in junior college, where he completed 63.2 percent of his attempts for 2,652 yards and 22 touchdowns. Montana, 6 feet 3 and 200 pounds, will be a junior at Tulane next season.
James Smith can be reached at email@example.com,email@example.com or 504.826.3405. For recruiting news, follow him at twitter.com/JamesSmithNOLA.

For years, Antonia Munici has had firefighter gear as well as a credential identifying her as a professional firefighter. She even portrayed herself as a firefighter to a recent prospective boss, among others, the Slidell Police Department said.
However, investigators have discovered Munici, 53, was never actually a member of the firefighting profession, and on Wednesday they jailed her for illegally pretending to be one, Detective Daniel Seuzeneau said. Slidell police began an investigation after a local food service company doubted the legitimacy of Munici's claims.
Munici claimed she started working for the New Orleans Fire Department in 1981 and retired last year, Seuzeneau said. But the NOFD had no record that Munici, of the 2000 block of Pelican Street, was ever employed by the agency.
Additionally, Munici provided past, current and potential employers with a fake "Professional Firefighter" I.D. indicating that she still battled blazes for St. Tammany Parish, which crossed the line from simply bragging about doing a job that she actually didn't to breaking the law, Seuzeneau said.
But again, no officials with the various St. Tammany fire districts could provide any evidence that she was ever an employee. Seuzeneau said Slidell detectives spoke with Munici in hopes of getting an explanation for her behavior, and she admitted she had been in possession of the "Professional Firefighter" card since the 1990s.
She also hung a "turnout suit," worn by firefighting personnel for protection, from her home that passersby could see, Seuzeneau noted. Munici was taken into custody and booked on one count of fraudulent portrayal of a firefighter. Investigators believe she committed the felony offense to receive preferential treatment from employers and people around her, such as close associates and co-workers, several of whom were interviewed by police.
"It is unknown if Ms. Munici used her fraudulent claims for any other reason than gaining employment," Seuzeneau said in a news release. "The investigation is still ongoing, and more charges (may) be filed at a later date."
Upon conviction, fraudulent portrayal of a firefighter can carry a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to two years in prison.
Ramon Antonio Vargas can be reached at email@example.com or 985.645.2848.

As in past years, the Brass Society has invited another musical group to perform the second half of the concert.
The group will be performing this year's spring concert at Salem Community College, rather than at our usual location, to accommodate special guests, the Bryn Mawr Mainliners Chorus, under the direction of Rick Serpico.
The concert will open with Aaron Copland's, "Fanfare for the Common Man." During the concert, the Salem County Brass Society will present the premier performance of two pieces written especially for the group. "Down by the Sally Garden," composed by Williamstown resident John Wernega, features a Celtic melody that moves around the different brass instruments in the ensemble. Wernega is the music teacher at Quinton Township School and is also the music director, composer and arranger for the award-winning Fralinger String Band.
The second original piece premiering in the concert is "The Horizon" which features the French horn section of the brass. French horn player, John Kraybill, composed the piece for four horns and didgeridoo, which he will play. The didgeridoo is a native Australian instrument, sometimes called a drone pipe. Two pieces in the program, "Joshua" and "Fantasy on When Johnny Comes Marching Home" were arranged by John W. N. Palmer, a bass trombone player and conductor based in Kingston, Ontario.
Both of these pieces highlight Palmer's complex style of making every player's part interesting and challenging. Other favorites on the program include "Porgy and Bess", arranged by James Barnes and transcribed for brass by SCBS euphonium player David Heintzelman and "Singing in the Rain" by Nacio Herb Brown and arranged by Alan Fernie.
The program also includes the sacred piece, "On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss", composed by David R. Holsinger and also transcribed for brass by Heintzelman. It is a reflective composition based on the 1876 Philip Bliss – Horatio Spafford hymn, "It is Well with my Soul".
The featured guests, the Bryn Mawr Mainliners, are a local chapter of Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (also known as the Barber Shop Harmony Society). They sing a cappella in the barbershop style, first popularized in barber shops and on street corners in the 1870s.
Chartered in 1963 in the Bryn Mawr Fire House, near one of the stops on the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Mainline", they take their name from the Mainline and have kept the railroad logo and theme. Today, with more than 80 members, they are dedicated to the preservation of four part harmony.
During the concert, the Brass Society be awarding a scholarship to a local high school senior planning to pursue a career in music and awarding savings bonds to the top brass ensemble players in the local high schools.
Each year the Brass Society presents a $100 U.S. Savings Bond and certificate to an outstanding graduating brass player at each of the five Salem County high schools. In 1986, the Brass Society began awarding a $1,000 single scholarship to a Salem County music student entering college to study music in any discipline. That scholarship has grown to $2,000 per student paid in four installments.
To be eligible for the scholarship, an applicant must be a senior in a Salem County High School, have a "B" average or better and be planning to enter an accredited school of music with a major in performing arts or music education.
Composed of members from Pennsylvania, Delaware and other counties in New Jersey as well as Salem County, the Brass Society has been performing brass music in the tri-state area since 1974.
The Salem County Brass Society is a non-profit musical organization which is committed to promoting brass music by providing quality sacred and secular brass music for the citizens of the Delaware Valley area, through performances at church services, civic events, and regional concerts.
The playing season for the Salem County Brass Society extends from September through June. Inquiries should be addressed to the Salem County Brass Society, c/o Scott West, 313 Lynn Avenue, Wenonah, NJ 08090, or by calling (856) 468-7134.
Funding has been made available by the New Jersey State Council On the Arts/Department of State through the Salem County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

½ head Boston or butter lettuce, leaves washed and dried
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Cut the chicken into long, thin strips and place in a medium skillet. Add water to cover and ¼ teaspoon salt. Heat to almost a boil over medium heat, then cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a work surface. Tear or cut it into shreds about 1 inch long and place them in a large bowl. Retain the poaching liquid in the skillet.
Reduce the heat under the poaching liquid to medium-low; add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Drain, discarding the poaching liquid. Cut the shrimp into ¼- to 1/3-inch dice and add to the chicken. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and lemon or lime juice in a small bowl with the remaining salt. Set aside.
Core and dice the apple; add it and the serrano chile peppers to the chicken-shrimp mixture. Add the grapes and the orange segments, then the sugar-juice mixture, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped peanuts, half of the fried shallots and half of the garlic, and mix well.
To serve, divide lettuce leaves among individual plates, flattening them slightly. Portion the chicken-shrimp salad on top of the lettuce and garnish with the remaining shallots and garlic and the cilantro. Serve at room temperature.

One might ask: "WTF"? However, if you stop to think that Iowa is 91% white and that Santorum is targeting the Evangelicals and anyone else he can get to vote for him, his statement is not that shocking inside Iowa.
Santorum is obviously guilty of taking a page from Newt Gingrich's talking points.
The Raw Story
Speaking to Republicans in Iowa on Monday, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said his administration would reform welfare to the point that it would offer no welfare at all.
After suggesting that an expansion of Medicare is really just a plot to make voters more "dependent" on Washington, Santorum added: "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money."
"I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families," he added. "The best way to do that is to get the manufacturing sector of the economy rolling."
One thing he likely overlooked: white Americans account for the largest percentage of welfare payments each month, mostly because they make up the largest sector of the population.
Welfare is defined by the government as benefits funded by tax dollars, meaning that programs like Social Security, food stamps, veterans benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment and corporate bailouts all fall under that term.
What Santorum seemed to focus on, as many conservatives do, is that black people are disproportionately represented in welfare statistics, along with Latinos, as both populations have much higher rates of poverty than whites.
According to the University of Michigan's National Poverty Center, 27.4 percent of blacks and 26.6 percent of Hispanics were living in poverty in 2010, compared to 9.9 percent of whites. Unemployment statistics between the racial demographics are similarly skewed.
Despite the factually flawed nature of Santorum's pitch on Monday, the underlying logic of his pitch is abundantly clear: census data shows that over 91 percent of Iowans are white, a community Santorum must desperately appeal to if he wants a win in Tuesday's caucuses.

I ordered this suit in amethyst at the reduced price and found the fit is great and it seems to be good for formal occasions so I ordered the teal one. I am glad I did because the size large disappeared later. Fit is true to size and fabric is lovely and drape nicely on body. teal color is more for the green side but I like it as a change for regular suit colors (black and grey). I agree with other reviewers regarding the length of pants but I will hem them anyway.The top is quite short so I will use a printed top under the cardigan to change the look.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfy and classic
By psychic
from Gloucester
Love this outfit. It's comfortable to wear, lounge-like yet classic & does not crease. I often wear the top & jacket with a diff. colour pant or skirt. For a more elegant look, I dress it up using jewellery or a long scarf. Bought it in Teal, may get another colour. Did not give it top rating, because some of the stitching came out along a shoulder seam. It was easy to repair however.
Beautiful Outfit!
By CAROLINE
from TORONTO
Ordered 2 of these outfits on sale. First time I order Mr. Max. I loved them as soon as I saw them after opeing up the box. I knew, however that they would be too long for me also. Oh how I wish more Companies would make petite sizes! In the USA not really a problem as they realize that most women are not model height. We petites have always had a problem. If we wish to have something nice; we must have them hemmed. I loved these so much after trying them on, that I decided to spend the extra to have them altered. Sleeves and slacks shortened. That's my reason for 4 stars and not 5. It's time we get a break and have companies that make outifts for the shorter woman. In any case, beautiful material, workmanship and slenderizing fit. Love both the black and amythest!
By Have a nice day!!!
from Saskatchewan
Nice color,top fits a little on the big side and the pants are extremely large. In the stores I take a 10/12 p This top and jacket I could have used a Med. The pants an extra small. I'm 5.1 I really don't recommend a short person to order this outfit. The quality of the outfit is great. Sizing of the pants way off.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Love Love Love It
By Happywalker
from Courtenay
I ordered this outfit in black and teal. I sentthe teal one back because I did not like thecolor--too green for me. I wore the black oneto a party and had tons of compliments. Eventhough I had to shorten the pants, I would ratherhave them too long than too short. Looks greatwith other tops too.

Works for me
By ES (over 50)
from Pointe-Claire
I love the fabric of this suit. No fuss, no creases. I bought the showstopper in medium, and it fits fine, although the pants were 2 inches too long (I am 5'4") and big in the waist. I bought black and am sorry I didn't buy in another colour too.
Love the material, classy outfit
By KATHY
from CALGARY
This outfit is versatile it can be worn to work and dressed up for an evening out.I do find however I need to order one size down in this line.
By Marty
from Chilliwack,BC
Love the amethyst. It arrived in four days! No wrinkles,hangs beautifully. the pants are to long for flats,but perfect with heels. Looks great for the holidays. Will work all year round. The cami and sweater look great with a pair of Mr Max pants I have.
Love the Fabric and the Style, but...
By ANDREA
from NEW GLASGOW
As a big fan of Mr. Max, I was very excited when I saw this Showstopper. Ordered it in Grey, and couldn't wait for it to arrive. When it did, i absolutely LOVED the colour and the fabric, particularly the elegant drape of the fabric - BUT, found the camisole an odd cut around the arms and very short in length, and found the bottoms REALLY, REALLY big (even though I ordered my usual Mr. Max size). Sadly, this one is going back. Mr. Max, please make some more items in this great fabric, but keep the lengths as elegant as the material!
LOVED this!
Beautiful material (washes well) and LOVED the way it looked. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is the fact I ordered xl - and the pants were quite a bit too big. I would order this again in a minute.

Ecclesiastical historian and last of the continuators of Eusebius of Caesarea, b. in 536 at Epiphania in Coele-Syria; d. after 594, date unknown. He followed the profession of advocate at Antioch (hence his surname) and became the friend of the Patriarch Gregory (569-594), whom he successfully defended in presence of the Emperor Maurice and of the Council at Constantinople (588). Having already been appointed questor by Tiberius II (578-582), he received from Maurice the title of honorary prefect ( ex praefectis ). Evagrius, a product of the masters of rhetoric, made a collection of the reports, letters, and decisions which he had written for the Patriarch Gregory. Another collection contained discourses of Evagrius, among them a panegyric of the Emperor Maurice and his son Theodosius. These have all been lost. None of his works survive except his "Ecclesiastical History" in six books. In this he proposes to write the sequel of the narrative begun by Eusebius of Caesarea and continued by Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. He begins with the Council of Ephesus (431) and ends with the twelfth year of the reign of the Emperor Maurice (593-594). This work is very important for the history of the religious controversies of the fifth and sixth centuries, Nestorianism, Eutychianism, and the last phases of Monophysitism. Evagrius furnishes details concerning events and persons, and does not neglect works of art (St. Sophia, H.E., IV, 31). To political history he gives an important place; in a word, he is an authority of the first order for this period. He is sincere, and is conscientious in securing information. But he shares the ideas of his environment and of his time. In his defence of Constantine he goes so far as to deny the murder of Crispus and Faustina. He relates wonders and legends, and it is to him we owe the account of the blood that was taken up with a sponge at certain times from the body of St. Euphemia of Chalcedon (II, 3). Among the sources of his information he mentions the chronicle of Eustathius of Antioch, and the works of Procopius, Menander Protector, John of Epiphania, and John Malalas (whom he calls John the Rhetorician). While he relies on these authors, he does so with discretion. In his ecclesiastical attitude he is strictly orthodox and abides strictly by the decrees of Chalcedon; nevertheless, he judges the heretics with moderation. His was an equable mind, and he is a reliable guide.

Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

The resourcefulness of a starving artist
Malia Macheel rises from the Kitsap underground with a charming exhibit of house paints on cardboard at Ploy Studios in Bremerton.
With a mortgage, paid for by a day job as a qualified rental specialist, Malia Macheel is not your typical starving artist.
But in times like these — the economically depressing era of $4 for a gallon of gas — many painters, writers, musicians and more who have that incurable passion for art, especially here in Kitsap county, fall into the undernourished creators' category.
"People throw around that term 'starving artist,' " Macheel said. "It seems to me if you're really starving and you're really an artist, you'll use whatever is at your disposal to make art."
Enter: Her and longtime Bremer-artist Pat Cooper's show "Paint. Paint. Paint. Paint." It's hanging at the artist-friendly, non-commission gallery, Ploy Studios in downtown Bremerton this month and will be feted Aug. 1 with a party for First Friday.
The whole air of the show exemplifies the resourcefulness of the starving artist.
Macheel's side of the expansive one-room exhibit is comprised of pieces created entirely from house paint on cardboard. While on the other side, Cooper's distinct images are rendered in white over black roofing paper, framed in recycled containers like briefcases and old cassette tape carriers. Not only do these elements demonstrate the artists' resourcefulness, they also seem to give the work a very accessible quality.
Cardboard is a common man's medium — evidenced by Macheel's work selling out completely on the night of the show's opening, July 18.
"I'm all about accessibility," Macheel said in an interview with What's Up last week, adding later that "it was a powerful moment for me when I realized that I really didn't care if I made money, I just wanted people to look."
She arrived at that sentiment during her time spent at the Northwest College of Art, near Poulsbo, en route to bachelors' degrees in fine art and graphic design.
She'd left her home in Park City, Utah, on a whim to attend NWCA with only $36 in her pocket and a van full of possessions, not knowing a soul, but knowing if she could make it in that situation, she could make it anywhere. It's been more than five years since then, but that trip demonstrates another side of the 26-year-old artist — she's all about possibility.
"When I graduated, a lot of my dear colleagues moved to Seattle," Macheel said, noting the allure of the city and that next step, but she stayed, seeing the possibility in Kitsap.
"Bremerton needs visionaries, Bremerton needs pioneers," she said. "There's this punk rock element to Bremerton that I just love."
The grit and rigidity of the place along with the do-it-yourself, forget everything else attitude attracted her and keeps her underground, here in Bremerton.
Malia Macheel and Pat Cooper's exhibit "Paint. Paint. Paint. Paint." will hang through the end of the month at Ploy Studios, 609 Fourth St. in downtown Bremerton. A reception for the artists is slated for First Friday, starting around 6 p.m., Aug. 1 with music from S.G.F.Y.

Overeating may cause obesity issues for kids later in life
Overeating may cause obesity issues for kids later in life
Overeating may cause obesity issues for kids later in life
By Lucinda Loveless
I have never been the skinniest girl on the block - I will never be the 90 pounds like my cousin is (AFTER TWO CHILDREN), or like the anorexic bimbo that graces the cover of US WEEKLY - and because of this, I do admit to having some body issues.
My fiance knows about these little 'issues' and although some times teases me about them, loves me unconditionally and supports me and my little neurosis and I do mean ALL of them. *sigh*
There is a chance that I am pregnant. which is fantastic because I've wanted to be a mother since - wow, as long as I can remember.
Feeling good about yourself is the key to making the most of the childbearing year. A woman who feels good about herself will celebrate the changes that her body experiences during pregnancy, look forward to the challenge of giving birth, and willingly accept the physical and emotional changes of the postpartum period.
Dear Fitness Expert,
How overweight is too overweight to be pregnant? Is it dangerous to the baby to be very obese? I'm 23 and at least 100 lbs. overweight and would like to become pregnant within the next 2 years. Any advice?

After reading the article about Jane Jech, I felt I needed to spend my time clearing up some misconceptions she has in her article.
First off, the Iowa Licensure Board which oversees plumbing, mechanical and electrical trades, does not apply to farmers. Being in one of the above trades, I'm aware of this.
Second, how many of my letters must I write, in which I must state, time and time again, that Jech didn't vote on human rights? Jane worked on the Bob Vander Plaats-funded campaign against the Justices who were up to vote out, and politicized our court system for the first time!
Third, keep your God out of my legislature! This state is not Christian, nor is any state in this Union. We are all multi-faceted, not everyone believes in the same religion. If you put Personhood laws or late-term abortion bans after 20 weeks, you slant the law towards the Bible. This completely smacks the face of the first Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
I will be working diligently to correct Mrs. Jech's campaign through this entire political season. I support those who work towards bringing equality and jobs to the state. Her non-existant voting record leads me to believe that all of her thoughts are conjecture based on Fox News reports.

Two recent events inspired this article. First, I scheduled an interview for a recently laid off candidate. On paper she was a strong candidate for a mid-level management position. She called me prior to the interview to ask about the salary. I told her that our salary expectations were similar but she wanted specifics.
When she persisted, I reiterated that I could not commit to a candidate I had not yet met. Her tone and volume began to indicate that her emotions were rising. I had no choice but to cancel the interview. Her inability to effectively manage her emotions led me to quickly conclude she could not manage other people.
The second event occurred when a peer called me for advice. A senior level employee let his emotions get the best of him and resigned without notice. As one could imagine, my friend was very upset. When I asked him what his end game was he told me he wanted to make the person's life miserable.
This was understandable, since the employee resigned in an e-mail without giving any notice. After having the chance to vent and listen to my advice, he decided to act professionally and rationally. It was not easy, but he controlled his emotions.
These events caused me to contemplate emotional intelligence, a concept popularized by Daniel Goleman in his book "Emotional Intelligence." Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand and manage one's emotions. Many, including myself, think emotional intelligence is more critical to success than technical skills and intellectual horsepower.
Emotional intelliegence can be cut many ways, but the four main areas worth mentioning here are:
• Self-awareness. This is the ability for an individual to recognize their feelings and the causes.
• Self-management. This involves regulating your emotions, feelings and impulses. Importantly, it includes how you handle difficult and uncomfortable situations and adapt to different situations.
• Social awareness. This is the ability to read situations and other people's feelings and emotions.
• Relationship management. This is the abilty to work and interact effectively with others. It includes the ability to influence, be influenced, work effectively on a team, develop and coach others and manage disagreement effectively.
According to a Facebook survey published in the March 2010 issue of Harvard Business Review, only 6 percent of people felt that self-regulation is their strongest area of emotional intelligence. Stated differently, most people, as in my two examples, have difficulty controlling their emotions.
These tips will help you raise your emotional intelligence and manage your emotions more effectively.
• 1. Know yourself. It is impossible to manage your behavior without self-awareness. Proactively avoid your triggers. If you know what sets you off do your best to avoid those circumstances. Try to address the issues before they become uncontrollable.
• 2. Don't react in the moment. Get some distance so you can think and react in a dispassionate manner. Avoid the heat of the moment, because passion can cause you to lose clarity of thought.
• 3. Have an end in mind. Know what you want from a situation. This will help you strategize and focus on the prize.
• 4. Control your ego. Receiving criticism or being the object of gossip is difficult, but do what is in your career's, not your ego's, best interest. Your ego will recover, your career may not.
• 5. Recognize the strategies that work for you. What has worked for you in the past will probably work for you in the future. For example, taking a deep breath, going for a walk or venting to a friend can help to defuse the rawness of your emotions and help you manage yourself more effectively.
• 6. Get assessed. A behavioral assessment will improve your appreciation of yourself and others. Years ago, I was administered the DISC profile and it really helped me grow in a lot of ways — specifically improving my emotional intelligence. Since then I have administered thousands of DISCs and it continues to be a very effective tool that facilitates growth by enabling person interpersonal understanding.
Emotional intelligence is a driver of success. I hope this primer helps you improve.

- on September 10 2012, 11:59pm@ Hey R*Q, Cheers for that, you're great!, I'll be ordering them later, just needed to put some money in the bank, and then let it clear through. - Cheers for this deal though, for me, I'm saying like £21 =)
Also, I don't know if you do, but do you have any ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on when they would get here in the UK?
- on September 9 2012, 2:15amI think these are the two I might get.
- on September 9 2012, 2:12am@nikoisrusske I have a GTA V Poster already =)
- on September 8 2012, 7:30pmJust bought three epic posters for $27.19 total I say thats a great price, I can't wait for them to get here :) Thanx Rockstar I appreciate the sale, now I have some extra cash for a possible GTAV collector's edition!?
- on September 8 2012, 11:18amPostage costs via DHL to Australia are prohibitively expensive, please offer cheaper options through other carriers.
- on September 7 2012, 3:02pm@Thanossapiens Where do you live? I only have to pay £7.99, I basically get the 2 posters, including, postage and tax, all for £14, which is the price of one poster without the postage ect.
For me, it's a great deal =D
- on September 8 2012, 11:05am@Thanossapiens You think that's insane? Postage is 36 EU ($45 AUSTRALIAN) for me!
- on September 8 2012, 1:58pm@iLewisGTA i live in greece
- on September 8 2012, 2:02pm@Thanossapiens WOW! That's alot!, It's on £7.99 to post to the UK, but if we convert 25 Euros into GBP, it's £20.
Sooooo, Why don't you send it to someone in the UK, for them to post to you? - Would save you money
- on September 7 2012, 1:54pmman i still have my old Vice City poster.. awesome, i love it... btw, 10 years since vice city !!!! looks like it was yesterday... ='(
- on September 7 2012, 10:56amHey R*, I got a quick question I was wondering if you could answer:
So with this deal, it's buy one get one free basically, but for the free poster you get, are you charged postage on that? So, are you charged twice for postage, or does both posters come under one postage payment? For Example:
I live in the UK, so:
1 Poster is £14, 50% off is £7, so each poster is now £7,
Postage for that one poster is £5-£7 (I would go with the £7 one as it's UPS)
That would equal £14, with tax, is about £16,
What I'm asking, is, do you have to pay another £7 ontop for the postage of the free poster? (Making it £23) or is it included in the postage for the poster already bought?
- on September 7 2012, 12:34pm@iLewisGTA There is no large extra cost for two posters, but in doing a test checkout on the Rockstar Warehouse we did notice a very slight increase in shipping costs.
- on September 7 2012, 12:30pm@MrIbu106 Please stay on topic.
- on September 7 2012, 7:02amHey has anyone seen the hiden picture that you can see for like half a second when you load the second page of posters? Or its just my imagination? Plz tell me if you see it too!

Jimena weakened to a tropical depression Friday after hitting Mexico's Baja California peninsula as a hurricane earlier this week and causing flooding that killed at least one man.
Jimena's maximum sustained winds decreased to near 35 mph (55 kph) early Friday and forecasters said the depression was expected to keep weakening.
The depression was centered about 45 miles (70 kilometers) east of Santa Rosalia, Mexico.
Earlier in the week, tourists evacuated and residents sought shelter as Jimena roared toward the multimillion-dollar resorts of Los Cabos as a Category 4 hurricane, with winds topping 150 mph (240 kph). But the beaches and condominiums where Hollywood stars vacation year-round were mostly spared, and the hurricane moved north ripping off some roofs and toppling power poles in smaller farm towns and fishing villages.
A 75-year-old man drowned when his house flooded in the village of Mulege on the west coast of the peninsula, said Jose Gajon de la Toba, director of Civil Protection in Baja California Sur state. He said one other person was missing in the fishing village of San Buto.
Emergency workers evacuated thousands of people from shacks and low-lying areas before Jimena made landfall Wednesday, but some refused to leave their homes for fear their possessions would be stolen.
Flooding stranded several villages along the eastern coast of the peninsula, said Joel Villegas, mayor of the Comondu municipality that encompasses the villages.
He said some people were in need of medical help, including a woman who had a miscarriage and another person with a broken arm. Villegas said he would ask the federal government for helicopters to rescue the injured.
About 4,000 people in Comondu lost their homes in the storm, Villegas said. The federal government promised to help residents rebuild but urged patience.
"A house is not built from one day to the next," Social Development Secretary Ernesto Cordero said after flying over Comondu, Mulege and the resort town of Loreto.
Forecasters warned of more flash floods and large waves, but those were expected to gradually subside as the slow-moving storm made its way on a projected path back out over the Pacific Ocean.
Loreto, the nearest significant resort town to the area where Jimena made landfall, suffered some damage to homes and streets, as well as Ciudad Constitucion, an inland town.
The storm brought some much-needed rain to the drought-stricken peninsula.
"Fortunately, this kind of weather phenomenon we're going through brings with it a lot of water," National Water Commissioner Jose Luis Luege Tamargo told the Cabo Mill radio station. "This rain undoubtedly will fill up the aquifers of the whole region."
Jimena was not expected to provide any relief from fierce wildfires in Southern California, however, as it headed back over the Pacific, said Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Also Thursday, Tropical Storm Erika weakened to a remnant low with winds of 30 mph (45 kph) after brushing past Antigua and Guadeloupe, churning up rough surf and dumping some rain but leaving little noticeable damage. At 11 p.m. EDT Thursday, the remnants of Erika were centered about 115 miles (185) kilometers) southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The storm was moving west at about 7 mph (11 kph).

I presented a talk on cloud computing at an event organized by the AIM Institute at Gallup University in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 26. The phrase "cloud computing" is a bit vague, so I focused on describing a few different types of cloud-like services (e.g., app hosting, virtual private servers, file & data storage, grid computing, etc.) and Yahoo!'s role in the cloud computing community.
Omaha has a thriving tech scene. My host, Jeff Slobotski — Director of Innovation & New Media at the AIM Institute, co-organizer of the Big Omaha conference, and cofounder of Silicon Prairie News — is in the middle of it. Yahoo! opened its newest data center there in February, and there are numerous other tech and Fortune 500 companies in residence. Micah Laaker, Director, Yahoo! Open Strategy UED, described his experience at Big Omaha last year in his YDN blog post "Big Lights, Big Omaha".
If you're in Omaha, or are planning to visit, and would like to integrate with the tech community there, keep the following organizations and events in mind:
- www.aiminstitute.org
- Big Omaha
- Infotec
- AIM Institute's technology breakfast seminars
Big thanks to Jeff and Silicon Prairie News cofounder/Big Omaha co-organizer Dusty Davidson for being awesome hosts, and Seraphim Mullin's team at the Yahoo! office in Omaha for receiving us on (very) short notice.

Local non-profit hosts fund-raiser for schools
When former professional football player Hugh Millen and his wife Michele were deciding where to move once they had children, they spent a lot of time thinking about school districts.
"That was a big factor in determining where we would be living; it was huge," Hugh said. "I just feel like the strongest educational system is where you have a well-funded public school system in which the community takes a great interest."
Eventually moving to Snoqualmie Ridge, the Millen's are getting their 5-year-old son Cale ready for school this fall. They also have a 3-year-old son named Clay.
His long-time dedication and interest in education led him to say yes when approached by the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation (SVSF) to be the keynote speaker at its fund-raising breakfast on the morning of April 28.
"Hugh is a phenomenal speaker," said breakfast chair Jo Krueger, whose husband Bill, a former Major League baseball player, has been a previous event speaker for the breakfast.
"I think you kind of feel like everybody's got to do their part," Hugh said.
A Washington state native, Hugh played football for the University of Washington in the 1980s before he was drafted into the NFL, where he played professional football for 11 years with the Los Angeles Rams, the Atlanta Falcons, the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos.
This is the fifth year for the SVSF's breakfast, previously held at Mount Si High School.
The free breakfast will feature scrambled eggs and ham, country-style potatoes, a meat-of-choice, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, tea and muffins. Donations are encouraged
It begins at 7:30 a.m. at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.
"We're thrilled that it's going to be at the Ridge and for all the community support that is rallying for this program," said SVSF president Roberta McFarland. "It should be a really a phenomenal event where the schools will be able to realize how much the community does support them."
The event, with a "high-five for our schools" theme, will feature music from the Mount Si High School jazz band, a demonstration of new technology the SVSF would like to see in the schools, select scenes from the recently-performed musical "Peter Pan," by students at Fall City Elementary School and other surprises.
"We're trying to take it to a new level that shows the SVSF is at another level," Krueger said.
Last year, the nonprofit organization raised more than $25,000 for the school district.
This year, the SVSF is hoping to far exceed those numbers and double them again the following year, said the SVSF's board of directors' director, Susan Livingston.
"We want our community to come into the community to learn about what is happening at our schools," Livingston said. "The bottom line is that state and federal funds don't provide what we want for our kids."
The SVSF was formed in 1988 as the Citizens for Better Schools with the goal of building support for schools by involving parents, students, teachers, business and community members. In 2001, the name changed to the SVSF, but the goal remained the same.
"What we're trying to do is make things equitable across the district so all kids have the best opportunities," Livingston said. "We want to make sure our kids are prepared to thrive as they leave the Valley. Strong schools really do help build a strong community."
The foundation also supports a grant program for local teachers.
"We do two things," Livingston explained. "We provide support for the schools, financial and otherwise, and we also build community support for our schools."
Chief Kanim Middle School vice principal and SVSF board member Ray Wilson said that the foundation provides invaluable contributions that help students and teachers have unique classroom experiences that might otherwise not occur.
"It undoubtedly plays a vital role for networking and communicating above and beyond." Wilson said. "It fills of void of something that goes beyond state funding."
Superintendent Joel Aune serves as the lead advisor for the foundation and 12 board members, all participating on a volunteer basis, who represent parents, teachers, district staff and Valley schools, Livingston said.
"This is a great way to get at the largest number of kids without bias," Livingston said. "When you strengthen our schools, it strengthens the community as a whole. Change is going to happen, you might as well put in your two cents. We recognize that growth is happening and it's better to respond proactively than reactively. If we can do that, we'll continue to make progress."
The Benefit Breakfast is 7:30- 9 a.m. at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, 36005 S.E. Ridge Street in Snoqualmie. There are still a few seats available for the breakfast, which requires an RSVP. Call (425) 396-6000.
The Church on the Ridge, 35131 S.E. Douglas Street in Snoqualmie, will be offering baby-sitting services 7-9:30 a.m. for children ages 2-8, on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 21 children. There is a $10 flat fee per family. Call (425) 888-7474.

By Nichola Jones, in the PhilippinesSuper Typhoon Haiyan has brought widespread flooding, landslides and destruction to the Philippines, destroying thousands of homes as it tracked across the Visayas region of central Philippines on its path through the country.
The storm, the worst typhoon to hit the country this year, made landfall early on Friday morning with wind speeds of 300 kilometres an hour. It tore through Samar and Leyte in the Eastern Visayas before sweeping through Cebu in the Central Visayas. There are reports of buildings collapsing in Leyte, including a hotel, and specialist teams from the Philippine Red Cross are assisting with search and rescue.
Strong winds and heavy rain have also battered the island of Bohol, which was devastated by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake three weeks ago. More than 270,000 people in the area are already living under tarpaulins and in makeshift shelters, and the extreme weather threatens to intensify the humanitarian emergency.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has been working with the Philippine Red Cross as it prepared rapid response teams and supplies for those worst affected by the storm.
Search and rescue teams are on standby and emergency supplies of blankets, sleeping mats, hygiene kits and water carriers have been sent from stores in Manila to a warehouse in Cebu ready for distribution in the coming days.
The IFRC's country representative in the Philippines, Bernd Schell, said: "Assessment of the damage and destruction has begun, search and rescue teams have been deployed and emergency supplies are ready to be distributed to those in the worst hit areas. Thousands of people are likely to be left without food, shelter and water – this is a double blow for the survivors of the earthquake in Bohol and Cebu, who were already struggling to get back on their feet."
The IFRC has released 500,000 Swiss francs (545,000 US dollars) from its Disaster Relief Emergency Fund to assist the humanitarian effort on the ground, as the typhoon is now leaving the Philippines and heading across the South China Sea towards Viet Nam.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian organization, with 190 member National Societies. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, our work is guided by seven fundamental principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.

Editorial commentary and guest opinions this week touched on one familiar hot-button issue (the possibility of same-sex marriage in Oregon), one countywide policy issue (regulating tourism-related activities on agricultural land) and one intriguing legislative idea (online voting) that was withdrawn by its sponsor, Sen. Bruce Starr, R-Hillsboro, before it could be voted on in the Oregon House.
There was plenty more.
The 2014 Oregon Legislature adjourned Friday, March 7, but not before sparking considerable commentary. One guest opinion, by retired Pacific University professor Russ Dondero, commended lawmakers for their bipartisanship in passing a complicated land use bill affecting Washington County's urban and rural reserves while another, by Rep. Joe Gallegos, D-Hillsboro, touted a bill to develop scholarship programs and support services for students who are from low-income backgrounds or are the first in their families to attend college.
The Hillsboro Argus introduced Michael O. Stevens as its newest Argus Community Writer and Gil Munoz, the CEO of Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, cited the Cornelius Wellness Center as among various sites the nonprofit is having success signing up uninsured patients for insurance under the new health care reform law.

White House Reports New ACA Numbers
April 17, 2014 | From April Ryan
WASHINGTON (AURN) -- President Obama has a little more pep in his stride as he is announcing new ACA numbers.
From WhiteHouse.gov:
The Affordable Care Act is working. It is giving millions of middle class Americans the health care security they deserve, it is slowing the growth of health care costs and it has brought transparency and competition to the Health Insurance Marketplace.
- 8 million people signed up for private insurance in the Health Insurance Marketplace. For states that have Federally-Facilitated Marketplaces, 35 percent of those who signed up are under 35 years old and 28 percent are between 18 and 34 years old, virtually the same youth percentage that signed up in Massachusetts in their first year of health reform.
- 3 million young adults gained coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act by being able to stay on their parents plan.
- 3 million more people were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP as of February, compared to before the Marketplaces opened. Medicaid and CHIP enrollment continues year-round.
- 5 million people are enrolled in plans that meet ACA standards outside the Marketplace, according to a CBO estimate. When insurers set premiums for next year, they are required to look at everyone who enrolled in plans that meet ACA standards, both on and off the Marketplace.
- 5.7 million people will be uninsured in 2016 because 24 States have not expanded Medicaid.

Images Of A Face-Lifted Mercedes-Benz A-Class Emerge
Images of a face-lifted Mercedes-Benz A-Class emerged recently as it prepares for its official launch before the end of the year, according to a report from carscoops.com. The A-Class may follow the footsteps of the B-Class, which received an update around three years after it was initially unveiled by the luxury vehicle manufacturer. The images showed the prototype A-Class hatchback going through winter testing that was reportedly held in Sweden. The luxury vehicle, which appeared to have similar specifications as the A250 due to its front grille, had its front end and rear lights covered up. It basically showed that these components may undergo some changes. The air intakes and… Continue Reading »
