Ferguson uses freewheeling energy to win audience over
"It's different from the TV, isn't it?," "Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson cheekily asked the audience about halfway through his 75-minute stand-up set Friday night at a near-capacity Pabst Theater.
With hundreds of "F" bombs and a fascination with clitoris jokes, this was definitely a different kind of Ferguson from the late night CBS variety. And it was a different experience for Ferguson as well, made obvious by an overzealous heckler who tried to interrupt the set a number of times right out of the gate. (Ferguson wittily put her in her place, and she eventually quit . . . or perhaps security took her out.) »Read Full Article

Q&A: Philip Galanes' 'Social Q's' in the age of digitalism
Once a week Philip Galanes answers questions about how to act and react in a polite society - a different path from his livelihood as an entertainment lawyer. And his job as an interior design consultant for private clients. And another job as a novelist, first with "Father's Day" in 2004 and then with "Emma's Table" in 2008.
But the questions are perfect for his Social Q's column, which runs each Sunday in The New York Times. Galanes gathered several of his most popular and most peculiar questions in a book called "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries, and Quagmires of Today" (Simon & Schuster). »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Music Video: Kane Place Record Club rocks out, pelts people with tomatoes
As we have learned from watching cartoons and vaudeville shows, when an audience is particularly disappointed by a performer, they may express their displeasure by throwing tomatoes (and eggs, if they're handy) at the offending artist.
No tomatoes were thrown at local soul band Kane Place Record Club when it performed at Turner Hall Ballroom for the first time last year. But the band ended up throwing tomatoes at each other, and perfect strangers, as part of the Tomato Romp on the eastside last September. »Read Full Blog Post

Russian opposition leader sentenced to 5 yearsBy NATALIYA VASILYEVA
The Associated Press | July 19,2013AP PHOTO
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, left, embraces his wife Yulia at a courtroom in Kirov, Russia, on Thursday. Alexei Navalny, one of the Russian oppositions leading figures, was convicted of embezzlement Thursday and sentenced to five years in prison.KIROV, Russia Russian opposition leader and Moscow mayoral candidate Alexei Navalny was convicted of embezzlement Thursday and sentenced to five years in prison, a harsh ruling his supporters called an obvious attempt to shut down a foe of President Vladimir Putin and intimidate other opposition activists.
In a surprise move, prosecutors later asked that he be kept free pending appeal, possibly reflecting an attempt to soothe public anger and to lend legitimacy to a mayoral race expected to be won by a Kremlin-backed politician.
Navalny, who rose to fame as an anti-corruption blogger before leading unprecedented protests that revealed the depths of anger against the Kremlin, was found guilty of heading a group that embezzled 16 million rubles ($500,000) worth of timber from a state-owned company in 2009.
Backers say he is innocent, calling the trial unfair and the evidence against him shoddy. The U.S. and EU both criticized the ruling within hours, arguing that the case appeared to be politically motivated.
Navalny had expected the ruling and protests were planned even before it was handed down, setting up a potential confrontation with police, who routinely crack down harshly on unsanctioned rallies. By early evening, several hundred protesters gathered outside Red Square, shouting Freedom! amid thick police cordons. Police detained some of the demonstrators, but didnt immediately move to disperse the rally.
In court, the 37-year-old lawyer played with his smartphone for much of the nearly 3 ½-hour verdict reading. A post on his Twitter account after the sentence was announced appeared to encourage supporters to continue his work: Oh, well. Dont get bored without me. And, importantly, dont be idle.
Navalny handed the phone and his watch to his wife, Yulia, before bailiffs took custody of him and a co-defendant Pyotr Ofitserov, who was given a four-year sentence.
A leading face of the opposition, Navalny was a top leader of the wave of massive protest rallies that broke out in late 2011 after a national parliamentary election scarred by allegations of widespread fraud.
He first called the dominant United Russia party the party of crooks and thieves, a phrase that became a rallying cry for the nascent opposition to Putin. But the ruling comes as the opposition suffers under a wave of Kremlin attempts to snuff it out, including shutting down NGOs and prosecuting protesters.
Navalny had declared himself a candidate for this falls Moscow mayoral election, but his chief of staff, Leonid Volkov, told The Associated Press they agreed he would drop out of the race if he was sentenced to prison.
It was not immediately clear if Navalny would stay in the race after prosecutors request that he be freed. The Kremlin may think that his popularity isnt broad enough to pose an electoral threat to the incumbent.
Thursdays court ruling sparked condemnation from the outspoken U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul.
We are deeply disappointed in the conviction of Alexei Navalny and Pyotr Ofitservov and the apparent political motivations in this trial, he wrote on Facebook.
Catherine Ashton, foreign policy chief for the European Union, said she was concerned about the conviction and sentence, saying in a statement that the charges had not been substantiated during the trial.
This outcome, given the procedural shortcomings, raises serious questions as to the state of the rule of law in Russia, she said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkels spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said that five years in prison seems disproportionately high, even against the background of the crime he was accused of. Seibert added there were grounds for doubts as to whether motives of criminal law were in the foreground at this trial.
Russian news reports said Navalny was taken to a detention facility in Kirov immediately after the verdict. Several dozen Navalny supporters gathered outside the facility soon after the sentencing.
Navalnys wife appeared composed after seeing her husband taken away in handcuffs, saying, If someone hopes that Alexeis investigations will cease, thats wrong.
The Russian stock market, sensitive to politically charged issues, dove within minutes of the verdict, with the main MICEX index dropping 1.4 percent before partly recovering.
The case stems from when Navalny worked as an unpaid adviser to the provincial governor in Kirov, about 760 kilometers (470 miles) east of Moscow. Prosecutors say he was part of a group that embezzled 16 million rubles ($500,000) worth of timber from state-owned company Kirovles.
The defense argued that Ofitserovs company bought the timber from Kirovles for 14 million rubles and sold it on for 16 million rubles in a regular commercial deal. Navalnys lawyers presented invoices proving the transactions.
The judge said he found the testimony of key prosecution witness Vyacheslav Opalev to be trustworthy and consistent. Opalev, who was the timber companys general director, got a suspended sentence in an expedited trial in December after pleading guilty to conspiring with Navalny.
Navalny insists Opalev framed him out of revenge: Navalny had recommended that Opalev be fired and that officials investigate potential corruption in his company, which had incurred 200 million rubles ($6 million) in losses by the time Navalny arrived in the region.
Throughout the trial, the testimony of prosecution witnesses clashed with the core arguments of the indictment that claimed Navalnys work in Kirov led to the embezzlement. None of the managers at Kirovles who appeared in court, except for Opalev, was able to confirm that Navalny defrauded the company.
Navalny had long said he expected to be convicted, and in a final blog post before leaving Moscow for Kirov, he downplayed his personal importance to the wider opposition.
The most important thing is to muster up the strength, shake off laziness and do something. This doesnt require any leadership as such, he wrote.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Bartonsville Covered Bridge celebration set for Saturday
BARTONSVILLE — Let the hoopla begin.
Rockingham will hold a covered bridge party Saturday at 11 a.m. to celebrate the reopening of the rebuilt Bartonsville Covered Bridge, one of Tropical Storm Irene's most famous victims.
The 1870 bridge was swept off its abutments by the raging floodwater of the Williams River, and since the bridge floated down the river, Bartonsville residents have been fighting to have the historic wooden lattice-truss bridge rebuilt.
The bridge, which is longer by 17 feet, higher by a few inches, and stronger than the original bridge, was a hive of activity Friday afternoon as more than 20 construction workers from Cold River Bridges and Iron Horse Standing Seam Roofing were putting on the bridge's new green standing seam roof and putting the new pine siding on the 176-foot bridge — both sides. Workers were also measuring and cutting the oak running boards for the floor of the bridge.
"The bridge will be ready," said Travis Hodgdon of Chester, one of the foremen on the project for Cold River, a local bridge construction firm based in Walpole, N.H. Wednesday's snowstorm put a crimp in the roof plans, he said, since the roof has to be laid on a swept-clear roof deck.
Sue Hammond, whose now-famous home video caught the demise of the bridge that fateful Aug. 28, 2011, afternoon, said all of Vermont's top politicians had been invited to the event. So far, only Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has sent his regrets.
"I've got my fingers crossed," said the Bartonsville resident, adding U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., would definitely be attending, along with county and local officials.
After a short ceremony at the bridge, including the unveiling of the new bridge's sign, Hammond said the festivities will adjourn to MacLaomainn's Scottish Pub in Chester, for more talks about the bridge and its history. She said Deb Brown, a native of Rockingham and owner of the pub, had been very supportive of the rebuilding, hosting several fundraisers for the bridge.

Kipsang of Kenya wins half marathon in New York
NEW YORK Freezing temperatures and a dusting of snow on Sunday did little to slow Wilson Kipsang, who ran away from a pack of elite runners to win the 13.1-mile New York City Half, the first major road race in the city since Hurricane Sandy forced the cancellation of the marathon in November.
Kipsang, who won a bronze medal last year in the marathon for Kenya at the Olympic Games in London, bided his time early in the race, which began in Central Park and ended near Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. It was the eighth running of the race, which this year featured 21 Olympians.
After a dozen runners jockeyed for position during a slow loop around Central Park, Kipsang surged to the front just before 9 1/2 miles and cruised to the finish in his first half-marathon in New York, winning in 1:01:02.
Daniele Meucci of Italy and Dathan Ritzenhein, the second-fastest American at the distance, finished four and eight seconds behind respectively. Bernard Lagats highly anticipated debut at this distance was ultimately a learning experience. Lagat, 38, finished 12th at 1:02:33.
In the womens field, Caroline Rotich, the champion from 2011, led for most of the race, running away from one of the favorites, Kim Smith of New Zealand, who did not finish. But about halfway down the Hudson River waterfront, she was caught by Diane Nukuri-Johnson of Burundi and Lisa Stublic, an all-American in cross country at Columbia University who lives in Croatia.
However, Rotich, also from Kenya, recovered in the last mile to win in 1:09.09. Nukuri-Johnson and Stublic finished three and nine seconds behind, respectively.
Kipsang and Rotich each earned $20,000 in prize money.
The race was something of a coming-out party for New York Road Runners. The group was criticized last year for first insisting that the New York City Marathon should be run less than a week after Hurricane Sandy pummeled the New York metropolitan area, and then canceling the race just 48 hours before the scheduled start.
After reaching a settlement with its insurers, Road Runners took the unusual step of offering refunds, an option that half of the 60,000 entrants chose. About 600 other entrants opted for a spot in Sundays half marathon, while the rest of the entrants will use their guaranteed entry to join this years marathon, or the race in 2014 or 2015.
Though the start of spring is less than a week away, the 14,600 runners who lined up in Central Park for the start at 7:30 a.m. endured temperatures of 30 degrees. The mens and womens elite fields started relatively slowly as a result. The leaders in the mens race were about 30 seconds off last years pace for the first several miles.
In the womens race, Smith pushed ahead through the hilliest part of the course in Central Park, but then dropped out because of a tight quadriceps muscle just past the halfway mark.
The slow pace, however, allowed Lagat and his training partner, Abdi Abdirahman, to keep pace with the leaders for the first half of the race.
I was trying to stay warm in there at the beginning, said Lagat, the two-time Olympic medalist at the 1,500 meters who plans to slowly transition into a road racer. But it was affecting everybody. So it wasnt only me, and everybody that finished the race, it was cold.
Kipsang, who was the favorite because he has run a half-minute faster than anyone else in the field at this distance, was at the back of the leading pack for about the first six miles. After the runners exited Central Park, he moved into the front with Ritzenheim, Juan Luis Barrios of Mexico and a few others.
As the group headed west on 42nd Street and south along the Hudson River, the pack thinned further until Kipsang bolted to the front for good.
When I tried to break off from the group, I saw that I was really feeling good, and I was in a position to break off from the group and win this race, said Kipsang, whose personal best at the half marathon is 58:59.
Rotich broke away from the leaders of the womens race well before the runners reached Times Square, and for several miles she was nearly alone. But Nukuri-Johnson and Stublic tracked Rotich down along the river. Rotich did not shake the pair until the final mile of the race.
When I took off, I knew its not over until its over, said Rotich, who set her personal best at the half marathon in New York two years ago. So when they came, I was like, yeah, I was waiting for this.
She added, I saw they didnt pass me, so I knew, oh, I just have to sit with them and see what happens in the finish.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

In the US, about 4 million babies are born each year. Compared to women of generations past, women today are waiting longer to have babies, receiving more prenatal care, and having more cesarean deliveries.
Increased Age
In 1970, women, on average, had their first baby when they were 21.4 years old. This average age has increased to 26 years old.
While most births still occur in women in their 20s, women have been waiting longer to start their families. From 1970 to 2006, the number of women having their first baby at age 35 or older has been steadily rising.
Not only are women putting off having their first baby, but births to teenage girls are also at lower levels. There has been a 61% drop in teen birth rates from 1991.
How old you will be when you have your first child may be related to where you live. The age at which women have their firstborn varies by state.
Prenatal Care
Compared with their predecessors, women today are more likely to receive prenatal care, which is associated with healthier babies and fewer pregnancy-related complications. In 2008, about 71% of women received prenatal care in their first trimester.
Total Fertility Rate Down, More Boys than Girls
In 2011, the number of children a woman will give birth to over her lifetime was 1.8 children. The rate declined for nearly all races and Hispanic origin groups.
In 2010, for every 1,000 girls that are born, 1048 boys were born.
Cesarean Deliveries
The number of women having cesarean sections (C-sections) increased between 1996 and 2009. However, the rate has been declining ever since. Cesarean sections now account for about 33% of deliveries.
Preterm Deliveries
Data from 2011 found that the number of babies born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation) has decreased to 11.6% of all births. There was also a small decrease in the percentage of low birth weight babies (accounting for 8.0%).

Hot and Cold Stove
As much as I would like to be posting this evening with stellar Angels signing/trade news, there is still no real news to report. Granted, the reports of all the guys we're supposedly in talks with are coming faster and faster on each others' heels – Carl Crawford, Adrian Beltre, even Rafael Soriano. Yes please. Yes please. And, hey, if we can afford him too and he doesn't succumb to the usual Angels closer curse – well, he had career seasons for the two years before Tony signed him, I just don't know what happened – yes please to him too. Why not. If you're going to dream, dream big. And those are just the reports we have a reason to take seriously. Depending on who you're reading, supposedly, we're also talking to Jayson Werth, A.J. Pierzynski (because we really need another catcher), and Cliff Lee, among others. Heck, if you looked hard enough, someone probably has a "hot tip from an MLB insider" that Tony Reagins is in talks with Big Foot as a potential 3rd base option… Although…he probably swings a pretty big bat wouldn't you think? Anyone know what his stats are against lefties?
None of this is to say that Hot Stove hasn't been interesting so far…for a variety of definitions of interesting. I am very happy for the Dodgers. The Dodgers are kind of like an amiable ex-boyfriend for me. We weren't right for one another but we parted ways on good terms and I always wish them well…except during the Freeway Series, of course. I was worried that in the middle of the ongoing divorce proceedings between Mommy Dearest and the king of all deadbeat baseball dads, the Dodgers would be left out of the trading season all together. Quite the contrary, they have been very busy so far. I think Uribe will be a great addition to the team, at 2nd for now with today's trading of Theriot and with great options down the road for short and/or 3rd if Furcael spends another season on and off the DL and/or when Casey Blake's contract is up. He wasn't cheap, but it's not like there are any great bargains out there this year.
I was surprised the Tigers were able to pounce so quickly on Victor Martinez, I expected that one to be more drawn out. They wanted another big bat and they certainly got one. I am interested to see what if any moves they make later in the off season.
I am perplexed at the way the Yankees are dealing with Derek Jeter. Of course they were going to negotiate. Players always want more than teams want to pay – this is true of employers and employees everywhere. But does anyone honestly believe that the Yankees want to let Derek Jeter go any more than he wants to leave? So what happened here and who thought the front office arguing this out in the media would be a good idea? The front office comments sound childish and pouty. Yankee fans don't like it. Non Yankees baseball fans don't seem to like it much either and it can't be good for team morale. They will probably settle for the same amount they would have settled for without all of this upheaval so what was the upside here? Obviously bad PR decisions catch my attention.
The courting of Cliff Lee, on the other hand, amuses me to no end, partially because of how coy many of the suitors are trying to be and partially the degree to which the media are being anything but. Cliff Lee watch day 27! Breaking news: Cliff Lee signs…up for DirecTv. It's definitely my own imp of the perverse, but if I were Cliff Lee I wouldn't be able to resist messing with folks at this point. You know, show up at the grocery store in a D-backs ball cap or something. I predict the Rangers will make a strong offer but that Lee will be in Yankee's pinstripes next year.
4 Comments
I hope you're right about Cliff Lee. In the meantime, the Yankees upped their offer to Jeter, so there's movement on that front. Interesting how active the Dodgers have been so far this off-season, especially with their ownership in flux.
I hope I'm right about Cliff Lee too so the Yankees stay away from Carl Crawford🙂. Then again, now it sounds like if the Rangers can't sign Cliff Lee they may go after Crawford too, which surprises me because their outfield is pretty tight…but then again, so is the Yankees'. All of the conflicting if/then signing possibilities of the offseason are so interesting, but more than somewhat maddening at times.
It'd be great to see Lee in a different cap every time he went out, much like the faux Jeter baseball cards circulating on the internet. I know this would never happen in a million years, but there would be no complaints on my end if Cliff Lee returned to the Mariners. I'd love to see him play in Seattle🙂 That being said, I hope he remains in Texas. I think the Yankees can manage just fine without him.
Westcoastgirl – Sort of an all MLB time-share on Cliff Lee then? I like it or, at least, it made me laugh which is the same thing in my book. In a perfect world, I wouldn't mind seeing Lee go back to the Mariners at all. When trades and deals occur that naturally bring teams more in balance with one another, I think it's a great thing and makes everyone more competitive which is more fun for the fans. But if the Yankees losing Lee will make them, as many have speculated, throw money at Carl Crawford, whom I covet for the Angels, then need him or not, I'm fine with them getting Lee. I am really mercenary in my thinking when it comes to the Angels.
Thank you for dropping by and commenting!

While director Marc Webb clearly makes the story of Marvel Comics' iconic webslinger his own in "The Amazing Spider-Man," the filmmaker knew very well going into the project that like the previous movie installments featuring the character, connectivity with audience would be the key to the film's success.
"Right from the very beginning when I talked with the studio, I stressed that it was really important to establish a real, genuine connection between the audience and the characters," Webb told me in a recent interview. "That can only happen though finding the humanity in those characters and finding them relatable."
The relatable factor, in fact, is why Webb, 37, believes the character has resonated with people for so long. After all, most people have been in Peter Parker's shoes at one time or another, and for younger audience members, they'll get there soon enough.
"If you look at all the comic book characters out there, Peter Parker in 'Spider-Man' is really the most relatable superhero there is, or at least alter-ego of a superhero," Webb observed. "He's not an alien and he's not a billionaire -- he's a kid. And it's the nature of him in comics that makes him relatable to so many people."
"So what was exciting for me at the very beginning of the project was finding that dimension, and the chemistry between Peter and Gwen, and Peter and Aunt May -- that domestic quality, that takes up the lion's share of the beginning of the movie. It was really a big priority for me to establish that," Webb added. "The action is meaningless unless you care about the person in the suit."
"The Amazing Spider-Man" stars Andrew Garfield as Peter, a science whiz outcast who grows up with his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field) after his parents mysteriously abandoned him when he was a 7-year-old boy.
Discovering a clue to the disappearance that involves his scientist father (Campbell Scott) and former research partner, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), Peter finds access to Connors' lab at OsCorp, where he is fatefully bitten by a genetically-altered spider. Assuming the characteristics of the creature and eventually dubbing himself "Spider-Man," Peter finds himself on a collision course with Connors, whose experiments will turn him into the powerful foe the Lizard.
Opening in theaters in 2D, 3D and on IMAX screens Tuesday, the film also stars Emma Stone as Peter's girlfriend and confidant Gwen Stacy, and Denis Leary as her police captain father George Stacy.
Sticky Proposition
Although he's blessed with the last name of Webb, taking the helm of a billion-dollar franchise like "Spider-Man" could land any filmmaker in a tangled mess, considering the mark original trilogy director Sam Raimi made with star Tobey Maguire.
To succeed, Webb felt that his approach had to come from an area of respect. Instead of ignoring the history of Raimi's films, Webb embraced them.
"I think what Sam and Tobey did was really extraordinary and was really loyal to the early comics in an aesthetic way. So it was very important for me early on to get Sam's and Tobey's blessing," said Webb, who previously directed the acclaimed romantic dramedy "(500) Days of Summer." "I've seen Tobey fairly regularly and he's been nothing but supportive, and Sam's been supportive, too."
Webb said the freeing aspect of taking the director's reigns after Raimi is that there's a wealth of "Spider-Man" stories to tell -- some of which that have been told from different points of view.
"Sam was just finished telling his root of the story, and this was my chance to give a different interpretation of the character," Webb said. "There are 50 years worth of Spider-Man comics, and it's not a closed canon like the seven Harry Potter books. With all the material, there are different illustrators, writers and artists that invented and reinvented the story. I started from a different root than Sam did, but I have a great respect and admiration for his films."
Without question, Webb's darker tone separates "The Amazing Spider-Man" from Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy, but the film still has its share of funny moments. In fact, Webb's creative use of Peter's web shooting -- which are created through a wrist-device this time instead of organically, like the original 'Spider-Man' movie trilogy -- supplies some of the most humorous moments.
"Peter Parker's a trickster, funny and whimsical, especially during a car thief scene in the movie where he's using the webs in new, interesting ways. It all has to do with the way he messes around with his prey, like a cat playing with its food," Webb enthused. "I was always looking for ways to reinvent little nuances with Spider-Man's abilities. There are things in the comics that are really great fun, and again, was just an example of how much material there was to choose from."
Definitely new for moviegoers material-wise in "The Amazing Spider-Man" was the full realization of the alter-ego of Connors, an incidental, supporting character in "Spider-Man 2" and "Spider-Man 3" played by Dylan Baker.
Ifans' version of the one-armed geneticist, we come to discover, isn't entirely an evil character: it's his amphibious, mutated alter-ego who wreaks all the havoc.
"I think that it's really important all characters, whether they're a villain or a hero, that they're honoring some sort of truth to themselves, and they want us to understand why they're doing what they're doing," explained Webb, who grew up in Madison, Wis. "Villains rarely think of themselves as villains -- convincing villains, anyway."
"If you look at Michael Mann's movie 'Heat,' you have great empathy for both those adversaries, and you understand very clearly why they want to stop each other or why they're at odds with each other," Webb added. "There have competing ideas of what people think is good."
The interesting dynamic within "The Amazing Spider-Man" is how Peter finds himself the middle of the conflict without a clear-cut definition of who he is or what he stands for. Instead of a straight-up good versus evil storyline, the film finds Spider-Man, at least in Capt. Stacy's perception, to just as much a menace to society as the real bad guys.
"It's much easier for audiences to empathize with Spider-Man's point of view, obviously, but at the heart of the conflict, there are three characters who are driving the narrative forward," Webb said. "There's the Lizard, who wants to wants to create a world without weakness and doesn't want to be an outcast; there's Capt. Stacy, who's all about law and order; and there's Peter Parker, who initially motivated by vengeance. His crime-fighting is incidental in the first half of the movie. He's trying to satisfy some dark part of his soul."
The turning point for Peter in film, though, is when the Lizard goes on a path of destruction on a bridge, where his victims whether intended or incidental, are mercilessly trapped. Struggling to save innocent victims, Peter discovers he has a responsibility.
"Spider-Man realizes that while they're all motivated by their own truths, he finds compassion," Webb said. "And truth without compassion is not a virtue."

Mother's Day is one of the most popular days celebrated. Everyone is running around to pick up flowers or cards or preparing to take mom to dinner.
On Father's Day, the scurrying of people in stores and restaurants is not the same.
For Mother's Day, if you wait too late to get a card, you may get stuck with a card that doesn't read anything like you.
On Father's Day, you can go at 8 p.m. that evening and find the perfect card. Why is this? Fathers should be celebrated, too.
And if you are out of ideas, there are several ways that will not cost you a thing that will make the athletic, sentimental, comical, Christian, do-it-yourself or TV-watching dad feel good.
Because most dads love to watch TV, let's start there.

The story is HERE:
Pat Brady [above], the chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, announced his resignation Tuesday amid a simmering controversy over his support for gay marriage legislation.
Brady had been expected to drop out of the lead GOP role following a tumultuous period that pitted the Republicans� social moderates against their social conservatives.
With same-sex marriage legislation pending in the Illinois legislature, Brady this year voiced his support for the proposal despite a plank in the state GOP platform that said marriage should be reserved for a man and a woman. Brady said he made the endorsement ...

Spike Lee's 'Oldboy' adds little to original thriller
The biggest surprise in Spike Lee's "Oldboy" is that it has no surprises.
His mechanical retelling of the brutally clever Korean film hasn't been Americanized; it's been homogenized. Like Gus Van Sant's "Psycho," it's a rote, lifeless, paint-by-numbers remake so hypnotized by the original that it is too paralyzed to find fresh ways to tell an identical story. »Read Full Article

What is aqua therapy?
By RubySamy, Contributing writer
Aquatic therapy, also know as pool therapy, is one of the latest alternative medical treatment, which is performed in water. Aquatic therapy consists of various exercises which are specifically designed to enhance, restore and maintain the patients functional abilities. These days aquatic therapy is being used to treat variety of medical conditions which can be acute, transient or chronic.
Water has healing powers and aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water for treating various ailments. Aquatic therapy helps a great deal to rehabilitate the patients after an injury or chronic illness to a great extent.
It helps to avoid the amount of weight placed on the joints by exercise outside the water. The exercises performed in water prove to be much more beneficial as the pull of gravity on the body is not as strong as on land. Movement and functional activity in water is much more comfortable and easy as compared to exercising on land.
Benefits of aquatic therapy
Exercising in water is very beneficial as water supports the body and helps to reduce joint stress Water provides resistance and helps immensely to improve the patients mobility, balance and coordination Aquatic therapy helps to improve muscle strengths and tones the body. Water helps to relax the body, decreases swelling and also reduces stress Aquatic therapy aids in increasing cardiovascular functions Water therapy help to increase circulation and strength, endurance too.
What makes Aquatic therapy better than land based therapies?
Aquatic therapy consists of components which make it much more beneficial and better than land based therapies.
These components are:
Buoyancy - Buoyancy allows to move more easily and also helps to decrease the stress on muscles, joints, and bones. Water therapy works better as it decreases the gravitational forces placed on weak limbs that are unable to bear weight.
Heat - Aquatic therapy is performed in a heated pool. The warm water relaxes the muscles and makes the movements easier too.
Resistance - The resistance in the water helps to improve the balance and increases the muscular strength.
Aquatic therapy treatments
Aquatic therapy is regarded to be successful for ailments like back problems, knee injuries, ankle injuries and strokes.

Over the next few days, millions of Americans will make resolutions to better themselves in the new year.
They will then promptly begin breaking those same New Year's resolutions -- some before the sun rises on the first day of 2015.
Depending on which survey you believe, somewhere around three-quarters of us won't even make it three months. Another survey -- apparently there are no shortage of them when it comes to resolutions -- by the University of Washington suggests that less than half of that successful quarter of resolution-makers succeed on the first try.
If you're anything like us, that math has your head spinning and considering another New Year's resolution.
Of course, some resolutions are harder to keep than others, and which ones you choose will make all the difference in your chances of having to make the same promise to yourself next year ...
No. 5: This year I'm going to do more ...
One of the biggest mistakes people make with their New Year's resolutions is biting off more than they can chew.
Many people vow to do more in the new year. More traveling, more reading, more anything. And while these are great goals if you spend a lot of time doing nothing, for most people that's not the case.
We are already overcommitted. How much free time would you say you have right now? Now factor in some time-consuming resolution into your plans? Do you really think you're going to be able to stick with that resolution now?
Rather than committing to doing more, why not commit to actually doing less in 2015? Drop a commitment or two, spend more time with your family -- or just with yourself -- and watch the stress melt way in the new year.
No. 4: Get organized
For whatever reason -- the struggling economy just might have something to do with it -- resolutions to get organized have fallen off in recent years in favor of financial goals.
That's according to an annual survey conducted by FranklinCovey Products, maker of planners and other organizational tools. "Get organized" dropped from No. 4 to No. 9 in the survey's top 10 New Year's resolutions from 2010 to 2011 before dropping off all together for 2012.
Those pressing money issues are likely why organizational goals fall off so quickly in the new year. But it's important to remember that getting organized can make everything else better -- and make it easier to meet other resolutions.
If you really want to buck the trend and get organized in 2015, set specific goals, develop a time frame and break it down into smaller steps. Simply saying you want to "get organized" is too vague and will only set you up for failure.
No. 3: Money, money, money
If you doubt how much impact money has on New Year's resolutions, take one look at FranklinCovey's resolutions survey.
For 2011, financial goals made up three of the top five spots, including "improve financial situation" at No. 1. In 2012 it fell one spot to No. 2, behind only "become more physically fit."
But, as with "getting organized," most money resolutions fail because they are so vague. While it's easy to vow to "save more" or "spend less" on New Year's Eve, such a fuzzy goal is hard to measure by the end of the January -- let alone the end of the year.
Start with baby steps like setting up an automatic savings plan, even for as little as $5 a week. Or decide to cut out a specific luxury, such as that daily Starbucks run.
Small, easily attainable goals will make bigger changes more likely. Plus, don't be afraid to reward yourself -- within reason, of course -- for each small victory. You've earned it.

A new study says men don't "grow up" until age 43 -- a full 11 years after women do.
And both men and women agree that's the case, according to the research commissioned by Nickelodeon UK to mark the launch of its new show "Wendell & Vinnie."
Study participants of both sexes said they believe women reach maturity much earlier than men -- age 32 to be exact.
Women were also twice as likely to feel like they were the "grown up" in their current relationship, and a quarter of women surveyed claimed they made all the important decisions in the relationship, The Daily Record reported.
Thirty percent of women said they had ended a relationship over their male partner's immaturity.
And a whopping 46 percent of women reported relationships in which they had to mother their male partner a bit too much, The Telegraph reported.
But immaturity isn't all bad.
Four in 10 people surveyed said it can keep things fresh and ensure the relationship stays fun.
TOP 30 MALE MATURITY FAILINGS (according to women in the study):
1.Finding their own farts and burps hilarious
2.Eating fast food at 2 a.m.
3.Playing video games
4.Driving too fast or 'racing' another car at the lights or on the highway
5.Laughing a bit at rude words
6.Driving with loud music
7.Playing practical jokes
8.Trying to beat children at games and sport
9.Staying silent during an argument
10.Not being able to cook simple meals
11.Re-telling the same silly jokes and stories when with the boys
12.Don't like talking about themselves/ having proper conversations
13.Hating books/reading because of short attention span/they're boring
14.Doing crazy dance moves
15.Mom still doing their washing
16.Having their mom still make them breakfast/any meal
17.Wearing sneakers to night clubs
18.Owning a skateboard or BMX
19.Not eating vegetables
20.Changing jobs regularly
21.Getting too excited over bachelor parties
22.Sometimes trying to do wheelies/stunts on their bike
23.Driving a modified car or one with a loud exhaust
24.Showing off about how girls are attracted to them
25.Wearing pajamas, specifically cartoon pajamas
26.Using shady pickup lines
27.Showing off about protein shakes/weight-lifting/how much they 'lift'
29.Wearing saggy-crotched jeans
30.Having a cartoon bedspread
