Jeremy Braska volunteers every Tuesday morning at Sweeties as a job experience. He is a student in Sue Rundborg's classroom at CCRESA. Jeremy's good friend Jason recently hurt his knee and had to have surgery. The following week Jeremy gave Jason his cookie (that he would normally receive as a treat for working). As you can see from the picture, that cookie lifted his spirits! Jeremy is a shining example of "pie it forward "!
We at Sweetie-licious truly believe that we can change the world one pie at a time, and we'd like all our customers, friends, and fans to help us make that happen. "Pie It Forward" is a Sweetie-licious project that's designed to reward great people doing great things, with great pie. It's simple really. There are so many folks who understand the importance of loving one another and who willingly help friends and strangers. We want to reward these folks, and their wonderful acts of kindness, with great pie! So what we're proposing is this... if you know of a kind-hearted soul who's gone out of their way to make your (or someone else's) day or who did something extraordinary to help you, we want to hear about them.
Too often good news is ignored and the good guy finishes last... but not any more! We at Sweetie-licious want to gift these folks with a piece of our award-winning pie. Eating pie is the perfect way to celebrate and most folks enjoy pie like no other dessert. (In fact all other desserts pale in comparison.)
Our hope is that those folks who selflessly give of themselves, will, after being gifted with pie, do the same for another person... one gift leading to yet another gift, and then another... So, let's get started by spreading the word and getting these kind folks nominated. You can do it two ways. You can stop into the store and fill out a nomination form (and deposit it into the special pie box we've created for just that purpose) or you can email us. (Please include your name, the person's name, both your and their contact information, and description of the wonderful thing they did.) We'll review all nominations and gift as many people as we financially can.
For those not of you in the Sweetie-licious delivery area, our project's goal is that all great people doing great deeds, regardless of location, should be rewarded with great pie. We ask that you either make your own delicious pies or find and purchase the best pies in your area to give as "pies of thanks".
For pie is simply the best food form of gratitude there is.
So people... start nominating sweet folks who've done thoughtful things. Let's make "Pie It Forward" a national movement!

I thoroughly agree, This fits perfectly with a final boss fight, I'm thinkin' in space and definitely against Eggman! The original was great for a boss fight, but yours just sounds frickin' EPIC!
Sadly, I can't give you a perfect. I really think this needs to be reuploaded. While volume does indeed add to the tension, in this case, it's clipping like crazy. You've got some rather annoying distortion that borders on noise
If you just toned down the loudness a bit so that you got rid of the infernal clipping, we'd be listening to a masterpiece!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
hell yea u did it man but the sound is a bit loud but hey u want u got it

How did you pull that off!?
Sure sounds like something that should be the final boss music of the newer Sonic games! SEGA, MEET YOUR NEW LEAD MUSIC DIRECTOR!

SYRACUSE, N.Y., April 13 (UPI) -- A man who accused Syracuse basketball Coach Bernie Fine of molesting him when he was a child now says he made the whole thing up.
In an interview Thursday with The (Syracuse, N.Y.) Post-Standard, Zach Tomaselli said he is ready to "admit that I fabricated the Bernie Fine story."
"It's just become an amazing burden and I just can't handle it anymore," he said.
Tomaselli, who said he had been sexually abused earlier, said he made up the story about Fine because he hates Syracuse for beating Kansas in 2003 in the NCAA tournament, The Post-Standard said.
Tomaselli, 23, of Lewiston, Maine, is one of four men who alleged they were abused by Fine and the second to recant. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Duncan said the investigation is continuing and refused to speculate on the effect of Tomaselli's recantation.
Tomaselli said he was coached about what to say by ESPN reporter Bobby Davis. Davis denied he told Tomaselli what to say.
"I'm going to be the most hated figure in Syracuse once this is posted or in the paper," said Tomaselli, an admitted drug addict who alleged Fine molested him in a hotel room in Pittsburgh when he was 13. "The most hated infamous person in Syracuse for quite some time."
Fine was fired Nov. 27 after Tomaselli made his allegation.

San Diego Looks to Cram 50 Years of Work into 10
The L.A. plan is known as "30/10", and is being pushed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. San Diego environmentalists are calling for their own version of that plan, but their will be the "50-10". Streetsblog LA explains.
"Brought to you by the Save our Forest and Ranchlands (SOFAR) and the Cleveland National Forest Foundation (CNFF), "50-10″ is an attempt to influence the "2050 Regional Transportation Plan" being proposed by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Advocates are calling on the agency to build all of its planned transit projects for the next fifty years in the next ten and to leave the highway projects for another day. If the agency falls short of the ten year goal goal, then it would hold off on any highway expansion projects until the local transit network is completely built out."

Easter sales strengthen egg prices, admits EIC
By MATTHEW D. ERNST
Missouri Correspondent
AMES, Iowa — The Egg Industry Center (EIC) reported a 3 percent decrease in the cost of producing a dozen eggs in the Midwest between March and April; however, April egg producer profit margins were squeezed, as the Midwest producer egg price declined by 29.5 percent from March.
The center's May 6 report estimates average layer feed cost in the Midwest at $291.02 per ton. Despite corn and soybean meal price declines, the April 2013 feed price for layers was still the tenth-highest monthly feed cost per ton since January 2000. The total cost of production per dozen eggs for April in the Midwest region was estimated at 75.05 cents per dozen. Meanwhile, the average producer price per dozen for large white eggs in the Midwest declined from 90.3 to 63.8 cents per dozen. The average price for eggs delivered to the store door fell from 136.0 cents in March to 108.0 cents in April.
April prices were about 10 cents per dozen less than expected, due in part to higher April layer numbers, translating to more supply. The April price decrease is probably also explained by an unexpectedly higher egg price peak during the traditionally higher-demand Easter season. "I think the higher price this Easter may have been driven in part by the big Easter advertising campaign for eggs that the American Egg Board put on this year," said Maro Ibarburu, EIC business analyst.
Midwestern states remain the country's egg production leaders. The EIC report noted that, for March, the top three egg-producing states are Iowa (51.8 million laying hens), Ohio (27.9 million) and Indiana (26.0 million). These three states account for 36 percent of the country's laying flock. Pennsylvania (23.9 million) and California (19.1 million) are the fourth and fifth-largest egg producing states.
The report's authors, Ibarburu and Don Bell, University of California emeritus poultry specialist, said cost estimates assume standard fixed costs, such as facility expenses. Those costs, the report noted, can vary among regions. Fixed production costs may also vary among individual operations within the same region.

Popular streaming internet service, ESS.tv (EveryShowSucks.tv) has today emailed all of its subscribers, explaining that due to mouting legal pressures the 50+ channels it provided will no longer be available.
ESS.tv streamed popular and niche shows such as The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park via Winamp's TV protocol. Membership was a mere $5 per month for unlimited access to all channels.
The aforementioned email was suspiciously vague: "Unfortunately, due to increasing pressure from various organizations, ESS will have to shut down operations this weekend."
"We do not have the financial backing to attempt to contest the claims made against us," it said.
The somewhat cult following that ESS.tv had built up over the years was reflected in the programming and many of their customers will feel that there's now a large hole in the world of internet TV.
It no longer seems filesharing is the internet's dirty word, as the authorities and lawyers turn up the heat for streaming providers as well.

pgleewrote a review of Mad Rock Mad-Lock Belay Device on October 7, 2009
Horn gets caught on biner
This device is nearly perfect except for one fatal flaw. It works smoothly for a wide range of rope diameters, the locking mechanism works well off the harness and off the anchors, it's lightweight, it's durable, it's simple, and it's inexpensive. It seems to solve the problems of all it's predecessors. However, I no longer use it because of one fatal flaw. The horn has a tendency to get caught in the carabiner causing the belay to lock-up, which is a real nuisance and potentially hazardous. Even with a wide HMS carabiner this happens often.

I was arrested for driving impaired and upon leaving the jail I was not issued a ticket or court date and didn't have to post any bail. Two months later I received a court date and ticket in the mail. Is there any way that can be used to my advantage?
2 Answers from Attorneys
That's not a good defense to use. It's pretty common nowadays to take this long depending on the circumstances of your case and the particular jurisdiction.
However, you are strongly encouraged to retain an attorney to evaluate your OWI charge. Evaluating your case is essential and should not be overlooked. There are lawyers out there who overlook this step and can cost you in the end. Many attorneys in Michigan claim that a DUI (OWI really in Michigan) ) can't be won, they're wrong!
Pleading you guilty is the single most important mistake attorneys make without properly analyzing the facts, laws and evidence. That goes for any felony, misdemeanor and even OWI charges. For example, the results of a breath test, the car 'stop', the 15-minute observation rule can be challenged through a Motion to Suppress, or evidence of your sobriety, or with cross examination of the police officer or the state�s expert.
Sometimes it can be more costly to plead than to fight. An attorney who just advises you to plead guilty, and who charges a low fee to take care of that is making a mistake; particularly in cases involving a case resulting in serious injury, a profession that has licensure issues or one where your livelihood is at stake.
The Michigan Drunk Driving law is complex, it involves a lot of science, and a general lawyer cannot be everything to everybody. Knowing how to defend a DUI case involves considerable preparation, familiarity with the law, and knowing what motions to make, when and how to go about it using effective legal strategies. Getting a 'good' case evaluatation is smart on your end.
To fully defend a charge of drinking and driving, your lawyer must have a clear understanding of the substantive law and the penalties associated with the different offenses. A working knowledge of all the various sections is imperative to an understanding of what behavior is proscribed, how the statute is interpreted and enforced, and what the impact will be upon conviction. You and your lawyer should be familiar with the ever-changing case law interpreting the drinking and driving laws. We know the Michigan DUI laws inside and out.
The Michigan�s drunk driving law is a multi-paged statute which describes a variety of interrelated crimes and enhanced offenses ranging from 93-day misdemeanors to 20-year felonies. Because of the complexities that have arisen as the statute has evolved, defending drunk driving cases has become increasingly specialized. Choose your lawyer carefully. Sometimes cheap can be expensive.
The 2003 amendments to the statute altered the names of the listed offenses, changing the label of �operating under the influence� (OUIL) to �operating while intoxicated� (OWI). �Operating while impaired� became �operating while visibly impaired� (OWVI). Further, as of September 30, 2003, the bodily alcohol content (BAC) limit was reduced from .10 to .08 percent, following a nationwide trend, and was tied to federal highway funding. Under the current scheme, the BAC standard is scheduled to revert to .10 in Michigan in 2013, pursuant to MCL 257.625(1)(b).
In analyzing a drunk driving case, it is not enough to review just the statute and amendments. Although a reading of the statute is necessary, it is somewhat difficult to understand without a contemporaneous review of the applicable jury instructions and relevant case law. By reviewing the jury instructions and relevant case law, a good defense attorney can better understand the meaning of each element of the offenses and the significance of any fact in identifying a critical issue.
For an OWI charge, the prosecution must establish that (1) you were operating a motor vehicle on a highway, another place open to the general public or generally accessible to motor vehicles, or a parking area; (2) you did so while under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or a combination of these; (3) as a result of the drinking, you were substantially deprived of normal control or clarity of mind; and (4) you were unable to drive normally.
The fourth element was examined at length in People v Walters, 160 Mich App 396, In this case, a police officer saw the defendant drive normally for about 30 feet before backing into a driveway; on leaving his vehicle, defendant appeared intoxicated and admitted to drinking several beers. Finding that evidence marginally sufficient to survive a motion for directed verdict, the appellate court ruled that the amount of driving observed must be sufficient to make a proper determination of whether the defendant could drive normally.
Each individual element has been the focus of judicial interpretation, and a good lawyer should be aware of how the courts define the element in order to apply the substantive law to the facts.
A DUI is not longer a minor offense. It is essential for you to hire the best attorney you can afford so your case is as strong as possible.

Time flies, as the saying goes, but it's still hard to believe that Space Gallery (765 Santa Fe Drive, 720-904-1088) is already celebrating five years in business. Apparently, though, it's true: The current exhibit, Untold Riches, is being billed as the venue's fifth-anniversary show.
Organized by Space owner Michael Burnett, Riches brings together three artists -- Hanne Linde, Mary Cay and Ryan Anderson -- each of whom work in a distinctively different style. Though Burnett obviously intended this to be a group show, it's actually three unrelated solos -- and that's just as well, because all three are up to the job of going it alone.
Linde is an established painter in her native Denmark and a veteran of scores of exhibits, but this marks her first appearance in Denver. Her richly hued organic abstracts, sometimes grouped together in lines or grids, look right at home here and are evidence of the fact that with the information explosion, all kinds of contemporary currents have gone international.
Cay, who lives in Denver, does conceptual ceramics, such as the gold-luster porcelain zeroes and commas on the wall that, although suggestive of large numbers, are still only zeroes. It's hard to tell what these pieces are trying to say, unlike those Cay displayed at Edge last year, which were obviously meant to promote illegal drug use.
Hung on facing walls in the front area, Linde and Cay's artwork is captivating, but the true star of the show is Ryan Anderson, whose spectacular paintings are installed in the center space. Anderson is all but unknown around town, though that's likely to change considering these out-of-this-world pieces. Apparently Anderson was trained as a ceramicist and even did a stint at the prestigious Archie Bray Foundation in Montana; maybe that's why his utterly luxurious post-minimal paintings look as though they've been glazed in a kiln, as in "Explorer" (above). To get these effects, Anderson pours metallic automotive finishes onto boards.

Australian tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt saved his final thank you for his wife, Bec, as he bid farewell to professional tennis on Thursday night.
The former world No.1 was beaten in straight sets by Spaniard David Ferrer in the second round of the Australian Open.
But the match will be remembered for the final interview, in which Hewitt got the chance to thank the people who have been with him during his epic career.
Thanks for the memories @lleytonhewitt! #HewBeauty https://t.co/dwkMjlpT0H
— 7Tennis (@7tennis) January 21, 2016
"Just Bec, she's been fantastic," Hewitt told Channel Seven's Bruce McAvaney in front of a packed Rod Laver Arena.
"She's my rock. Obviously, I love her so much and we have a great life together and she produced three fantastic kids."
Hewitt was joined on court by his three kids, Mia, Cruz and Ava.
He also thanked his parents and sister for their support.

— The Weekly Review (@theweeklyreview) January 21, 2016
Tennis legends paid tribute to Hewitt in a prepared video package which was played during the post match interview:
"Thank you for everything you've done for tennis and thank you for the great rivalry we've had, the good and the bad, but most of it is good."
Roger Federer
"I always had something special with you. You are a big inspiration for my tennis and for my mentality and I think your love and passion for this sport is a great inspiration."
Rafael Nadal
"You're an idol of mine when I was growing up. You've always been unbelievably nice to me and helpful to me."
Andy Murray
"It's a sad time for you to retire but you've taught all us young kids… you're still the best player in Australia."
Nick Kyrgios
@rogerfederer, @RafaelNadal, @andy_murray and @NickKyrgios pay tribute to @lleytonhewitt… #HewBeauty
— Australian Open (@AustralianOpen) January 21, 2016
Hewitt was visibly emotional after the tribute.
"I've had great times with them in the past. It's a bit emotional hearing those guys speaking about you," he said.
Despite a niggling leg strain which required treatment throughout the match, Hewitt did as he always does; he competed.
In his words: "I came out, gave everything I had like always, left nothing in the locker room. That's something I can always be proud of, my whole career I've given 100 per cent.
"I love coming out here and competing. Every time I come out here at Rod Laver Arena, it's like a second home for me and I'm just so fortunate having this opportunity."
Thanks for the memories, Rusty.
A fitting farewell to an Aussie Champion. Thank you @lleytonhewitt. #RodLaverArena #HewBeauty #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/5xr1kdKv8x

Adoption - much like infertility treatments - has its fair share of controversy. Perhaps more, when you take into consideration that there are not one, but two families affected by the actions that occur in an adoption. It has its misconceptions, too. I was disappointed by some of those misconceptions that were generated by a commenter on my previous post. Here I was, trying to encourage everyone to do something that is genuinely important, and there is someone coming back at me with negative remarks about the Adoption Tax Credit (ATC).
I don't usually spend my time writing entire posts to address one comment. But extending the current tax credit IS important. It's not me begging for aid from a broke government. It's thousands of adoptive parents who legitimately deserve this credit - if not to recoup some of the cost, then for their children. I have no problem pointing my finger at the government and picking out its problems. But the ATC is not one of them.
Do I think that there are agencies out there who rip people off? Unfortunately, yes. There are always going to be organizations that are into things for the wrong reasons. It happens. This is why it's important for potential adoptive parents to research agencies thoroughly, and to get recommendations from other adoption professionals and people who've used the agency. We are very lucky to not only know a social worker who used to be employed by our agency, but also adoptive parents AND birth parents who've had equally positive experiences with our organization. This played a large factor in our decision, particularly the close attention and care they give to the birth parents.
Do all agencies require classes? No, but some do. Many of these are mandated by the state in which the agency resides. Neither our state nor our agency requires us to take classes. We, however, chose to take classes on our own dime about newborn care and health because that's what I believe responsible parents should do.
Does adopting from foster care cost the same amount of money as adopting from a private agency? NO. Whether you choose to foster or adopt from foster care, the cost is minimal. In fact, the state provides money to families who foster. The only costs that may occur when adopting from foster care are court and attorney fees; however, these are often reimbursed by the state. Reserving the ATC solely for those families who adopt from foster care is unfair to those of us who will spend tens of thousands of dollars taking in children who are equally deserving of homes.
Do I think the tax credit is driving up the market on adoption costs? This has to be the most ridiculous lie re: adoption I've heard to date - and I've heard some pretty fantastic lies. It's called inflation. Every year, things get more expensive. It happens with absolutely every good and service there is in this world. Do you know why adoption gets more expensive each year? There are plenty of reasons. Legal fees and court fees could increase. Marketing materials become more expensive. Likely the biggest factor: birth mother expenses increase. Your rent increases each year, right? So does hers. Gas prices, groceries, water, and electricity: all of these are items paid for by adoptive parents, and all are items that go up in price each year. To blame the overall increase in expenses worldwide on the ATC is absolutely insane.
I don't sit here with rainbows and butterflies coming out of my ass and act like adoption/the adoption process is some sort of perfect and beautiful thing. It isn't. But I also won't tolerate any sort of misguided information in my space. I have no problem if someone wants to pit him or herself against this tax credit. What I do have a problem with is doing so based on false information. These are the types of statements that perpetuate over and over again until the majority believes them to be true – and we can't afford any more of those in the adoption community.

One Disturbing Video
If you have read the VO History, you know one of the key kickoff moments was the Fast for Farmed Animals outside a slaughterhouse in Cincinnati. Jack chose it because he had been down to that neighborhood and very disturbed watching the pigs being trucked past, and hearing their screams as they were forced off the trucks.
Here is a video of pigs being transported in the Toronto winter. I was reminded of it by recent Adopt a College posts -- by Jon at Northern Virginia Community College, who noted it was 20 degrees that morning (but he still reached 800 students), and Joe and Leslie, as well as Rachel, who separately leafleted schools when the wind chill was minus 6. AAC leafleters have amazing dedication!

Updating this semester's leafleting totals:
73 schools; 73,000+ booklets
And 73 words from President Obama:
Now we must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today's victories will be only partial. You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time - not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift. With solemn duty and awesome joy, with common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history.
Let's go!

Lisa and Sam at the MLK Parade
This was our second year leafleting the MLK Parade, and it was fantastic once again! We reached nearly 1,600 people. There were quite a few good questions and conversations, but the highlight was when Brittany met Lisa and Sam, who have just gone vegetarian -- they couldn't support the system of animal abuse any longer! They helped leaflet, and Robb is going to follow up with them about getting some vegetarian events going in their neighborhood!

Like a Phoenix
John Oberg:
Gateway is a small community college in an industrial area of Phoenix. I've had a good reception there in the past and today was no different. Heard things like, "You're doing a good thing, keep it up!" "I'm already on board." Most importantly, I handed Natalie [above] a booklet as she entered the building. An hour later she emerged and began walking my direction: "That little booklet you gave me made me so sad. I want to go vegetarian now." We got to talking and she was so moved by it, she wants to start getting involved in animal issues. Awoooooooo!

Awesome experience at UNC today while handing out more than fourteen-hundred Compassionate Choices. Rob (above) exchanged contact info with a professor who is interested in having someone speak to her Performance Studies class about veganism. And my friend Jill (below) joined us. It was her first time leafleting and she was a real natural. She brought her eight-month-old son, too. He had a lot of people smiling and aww-ing as they accepted booklets.

Steve at Mt. Sac
I leafleted a woman today at Mt San Antionio College who had wanted to go vegetarian for years! She didn't have any good resources, and her husband repeated the usual misconceptions about the standard American diet. I talked to her for a while, showed her part of the Guide, and she stood nearby reading for a few minutes. I left her alone as I leafleted other students, but she came back to me with more questions. She is giving a vegan diet a shot, and she even joined me in leafleting for almost two hours! She's a natural leafleter, too!

Semester Report: Jeff Boghosian
|Jeff Boghosian, Yuri Mitzkewich, and Linda Bower at Miami-Dade College
One of my favorite schools to visit is Edison State College in Fort Myers, Florida. While somewhat of a small school, the students are polite and inquisitive. When visiting this semester, I had two conversations simultaneously (happened twice!) while continuing to leaflet. Some had basic questions about what to eat, another was relating a story of how they once tried vegetarian eating and were prompted to try again! In just a few minutes I was able to convince 2 students to try veg eating - one was mostly veg already but the other wasn't. And in the time I was there, four other students said they would reduce meat consumption - and these were only the ones that reported back to me so there are obviously many more at each school we visit!
Another great day of leafleting happened in an unsuspected place. I happened to be in Mississippi during the week of the presidential elections, and I was a little nervous since on election night there was a protest involving burning of signs and racial slurs. Luckily two days later the campus was calm. In fact, in turned out to be one of my best outreach days ever in terms of conversing with people. At least one person wanted to chat at every class change, and most class changes there were multiple people. I did a good job of encouraging them and answering questions while keeping it short in order to optimize the number of people I reached through leafleting. I met a few people interested in returning to veg eating. One student hadn't eaten meat in 2 months since doing a report on the subject. Another student was just starting to eat veg along with 4 friends. A few other students were interested enough to start reducing meat via Meatless Mondays or reducing 50%. Many mentioned there not being many options in town, so I gave them several helpful tips and encouraged them to do as much as they could sustain and be on the lookout for new veg foods. As more people try vegetarian eating, more options will be available to them. It was so exciting to see the huge interest in veg eating at a place not known for its interest in veg eating. If it's happening here, it's happening everywhere!
Thank you to all of the donors who make this national campaign possible. You are truly the engine that drives this social change, and it's because of your membership and support that together we are able to reach youth across the entire country and beyond! Thank you!

Dawn Feedback
We're thrilled to announce that Dawn Ratcliffe is taking over as VO's Southeast Coordinator for 2013. More details to follow, but wanted to share this quote from her (one of my favorites, as it a lesson it took me long to learn as well!):
Since becoming vegan in 1995, I have distributed tens of thousands of Vegan Outreach booklets [now over 100,000 -ed] in a dozen states (and counting). Although I started using VO literature early on in my activism, I still felt that leafleting by itself wasn't as effective as protesting every weekend. I couldn't have been more wrong, especially when I looked at the amount of time I spent organizing protests, calling activists to attend the protests, making signs, etc. Maybe I felt that since I had invested so much time and effort, protesting had to be more effective than simply handing out leaflets for an hour or two. Thank goodness that Vegan Outreach continues to steer activists in the right direction!

Persistence helps Wakeland girls advance to 4A state soccer final
Run and cross in 49th minute results in 1-0 semifinal win over Waco Midway
GEORGETOWN, Texas — Frisco Wakeland junior Katey Carmichael and teammate Maddie Lundberg made countless forays down the flanks in their Class 4A semifinal against Waco Midway. But until the 49th minute, they had nothing but fatigue to show for it.
"I felt like if I could get a long ball in, I could run onto it," Carmichael said. "That's my strength."
With 30:25 remaining in the game, another long Carmichael run resulted in a cross to Ashley Kingston, with Kingston's toe poke giving Wakeland the only goal it needed in a 1-0 win.
Wakeland, in its first trip to state, will play Cedar Park Vista Ridge at 11 a.m. Saturday for the 4A girls title.
Running onto a through-ball down the left side, Carmichael said she thought her cross could get on the head of Lundberg at the near post, but a strong south wind pushed the ball back ever so slightly. Instead, the ball narrowly found Kingston, who had run to the back post.
"It was close," Kingston said. "I had to reach for it."
After a first half where her team was clearly on the defensive, Wakeland's coach Meagan Wilson, in her first year as a head coach, said she knew if Wakeland was to have a chance, it needed to be more aggressive.
Too many times in the first half, her players had been outmuscled, with Midway's midfield — especially junior Aleah Davis — knocking them off the ball or beating them out for headers.
"I got into my kids at halftime about that," Wilson said. "You don't show up at a state tournament and let somebody smack you in the mouth."
Keeper Brittanie Barbero hustled out of goal to snare through-balls, crosses and long throw-ins.
"I didn't hesitate at all to come out," Barbero said. "If I did [hesitate], I knew they were going to score. I didn't want to give them any opportunity to shoot in the first place."
With nearly 10 minutes remaining in the game, Barbero made her biggest play, rushing hard to meet Midway's Anna Dorsett.
Dorsett had wrecked havoc on a high Wakeland defensive line throughout the game, failing to convert on another breakaway two minutes before Wakeland's goal.
A Wakeland turnover in its back third gave Dorsett another chance. But Barbero's charge resulted in an initial save. The rebound came out to Midway's Baylee Baccus, whose shot was deflected by Haley Lyons.
"She was clutch," Wilson said of Barbero. "That kid has been, by far, the player of the tournament to me."

Are you wondering what my title stands for? Gluten-Free and
Dairy-Free! I jumped on the bandwagon… finally.
Growing up in an Asian household, I was fortunate
enough to be raised with amazing home-cooked Laotian meals every
day. My mom was very adamant about keeping us far from the
"Standard American Diet" as long as possible. I didn't start
regularly eating from the "SAD" until high school, and more heavily
in college (more consistently than before).
From that point on, I started to gain more weight, had more
gastrointestinal problems, and had a huge issue with acne. I never
had acne through puberty or high school! I ignored the correlation
with ALL those symptoms to diet, even though it was an obvious
link. So through my blogs, you can all see that I've been raising
my standards with my health lately. As I journeyed through p90x
with my husband, we also focused a lot on our diet. We minimized
our intake of processed foods, refined sugars, and refined carbs. I
thought that with all that work, I would definitely feel overall
EVERYTHING felt better (energy, muscularly, mentally), however I
still had some GI bloating and digestive issues every night that I
just dealt with. Then I started to REALLY look at what I ate and
even went to see an ND intern. I LOVE food that contains gluten AND
I love having yogurt in my protein shakes, but I realized that it
was not worth it if I felt the way I did every night.
So it's been three weeks since I have been gluten/dairy free,
and I'm on a couple of supplements to start gut healing. My
experience thus far has been pretty easy overall because we eat and
cook at home most of the week. However when we have eaten out, it's
been more challenging for me to look for options that are gluten
free. I've even had to ask the chef more than once about many menu
items. So it can be difficult if you are use to eating out all the
time, but the benefit pays off - trust me! Because you guessed it,
I FEEL AMAZING! It's only been 3 weeks but that's all that it
Since I've entered this gluten/dairy free realm, all the
alternatives that are out there now are actually VERY TASTY! Since
a large number of the population has been demanding it, I think the
products have been getting better and better. For example, I was
craving pancakes but got sad because it obviously has 90% gluten!
Well, my husband found a gluten-free pancake mix and made them for
me and they tasted BETTER than regular pancakes! So there is hope
out there for all of you to try it out for yourselves. (Not that
eating pancakes in general is healthy, but just using that as an
example!) Coconut Bliss is also amazing! Gluten/dairy free ice
cream! It's better than the real thing… seriously! :)
Blissor: Bob's Red Mill - All their products are great! They
even make gluten free brownies, cookies and pancakes, which are
Hi everyone. This has been a week of tough workouts, strict
diets, and sore muscles. Among all that, I feel absolutely amazing!
I have more energy, my "hunger pains" have decreased, and I've lost
five pounds and two inches! All the hard work in just seven days
has already paid off and we (my husband and I) are on the right
track to being the healthier "us"! Although it has been a short
time so far, this has been a reviving experience showing me my
weaknesses but also my strengths.
This year has already flown by and I cannot believe that we are
approaching spring soon, which means WARM WEATHER! Our personal
goals through this training are not to only "look" healthy but to
be able to participate in an upcoming 5K as well as a sprint (half)
triathlon in July! I can say honestly that I have never had a goal
like this. I've always relied on being the "brains" but not the
"muscle" so I've used that as an excuse as to why I never excelled
athletically. But that all changes this year! I want to prove to
myself that I am capable of overcoming anything as long as I put
effort to it! So keep me in your thoughts as I push forward towards
my goal! Not only is LIVING a healthy life include eating right but
working out right too!
We were tested hard this weekend as we headed to Michigan to visit
my in-laws. We left on Thursday night and knew that we had two
additional workouts to fit in (Friday and Saturday) plus we knew we
had to control our eating habits with healthier options and portion
control. Well guess what? We succeeded - and fortunately had so
much patience and support from Ryan's family as we took about two
hours of each day to work out before we spent a lot of time with
them. Also when we went out to eat with my in-laws, we actually
went to a Tapas restaurant (Spanish style small plates), which
allowed us to eat small amounts of food but still feel satisfied
and full. It all worked out and can work out for you in your lives
An awesome show just started on ABC called "Secret Millionaire"

Blissor: My health. Since I am young and healthy now, I am happy
that I have chosen to take control of my health! But it doesn't
matter what age you are, it's not too late to be the better you!
Have a great week everyone!
Hellloooo worrrllddd!! My last week of
midterms! To be completely honest, and it actually sounds crazy,
but I really enjoyed midterms! This trimester has been amazing and
refreshing so far. Although my credits are lower than when I was
dually enrolled, I believe that this tri has been challenging in
its own way.
One of the most challenging aspects of this trimester is that I
have to switch my thinking modes. Although I try to eat, breathe
and live naturopathic medicine, being exposed to a high percentage
of physical medicine in clinic has helped me strengthen that aspect
but also (possibly) overlook all the principles of naturopathic
medicine (subconsciously).
It is awesome (and challenging) to be re-submersed into the
medicine that I will practice mainly in the future, and be reminded
of how amazing naturopathic medicine can be. Studying for these
classes has been more enjoyable since I am in a clinical state of
mind, and it's fun (yes, fun!) to re-learn and master everything
and find the niche that I would like to incorporate in my future
practice. I have encountered some discouraging moments, which has
caused me to question everything I am doing, but having a
supportive husband to get me back on track has made this trimester
much more memorable.
This week, along with midterms, my husband and I started the
famous and brutal P90X! We've had it stored for almost six months
now and finally decided that our daily workouts have gotten boring
and we wanted a challenge. And boy did we underestimate the
intensity that we were getting ourselves into. So far, muscles I
didn't know I could work out are sore, and
laughing/sneezing/coughing makes me crouch in pain because of my
abs. It is an insanely good feeling that I cannot explain to be
challenged in this way, come out feeling this sore, but so good all
at the same time! We are doing the full 90-day challenge, so 90
days from now I'll post (maybe) before and after pictures that will
help inspire you to go above and beyond health wise!
We finished the week with a fun night in Chicago with
friends visiting all the way from Alaska! (If you remember from
last year, I went to Alaska at the end of May to be part of their
wedding!) We used "Yelp" and found an amazing family-owned
authentic Italian restaurant (Buona Terra on California Avenue)
that was AWESOME! All of you should go and try it. Support a small
business and have some delicious homemade creative Italian food!
Then we went to this place called Outdoor Café that looks like a
huge garden but is decked out inside with patio furniture and comfy
couches. I love trying new things and can't wait to venture out
into this big city more to find all the hidden jewels! You should,
Blissor: My husband. He is my rock and ultimate support and I
could not get through everything without him!
This week has been a huge blessing--lots of good and even some
bad, but over all, a blessed week! Starting off the week with
Valentine's Day probably had a lot to do with it. My husband and I
went to a very nice and quiet dinner at a place called Redstone in
Oakbrook Terrace. Their food is exceptional and we don't go too
often, but the splurge was worth it! My husband is an amazing man
and his love and support as I venture through my SECOND doctorate
is absolutely essential! I can't emphasize enough how important it
is to have support outside of the school to get you THROUGH
So you want to know the exciting news right? Well, in the tenth
trimester of my DC program, I started to work on a case study
abstract, which discusses a unique case that I encountered that was
treated successfully. After discussing the case with Dr. Solecki
(and getting permission from the patient), we submitted it to the
American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians to see if it would
be accepted for their annual Sports Symposium. After a couple
reviews and editing, I was informed that it was accepted for poster
presentation! Hard work does pay off!
Now, I am currently working on expanding the case study abstract
into a format that is suitable for the medical journal, Journal of
Chiropractic Medicine (JCM). It is a lot more work than the
abstract, and has included (so far) over 30 references including
textbooks and fellow research articles/case studies. Working on
that plus studying for midterms and writing papers for class has
been very difficult, but I am crossing my fingers that this will
also get accepted for publication. So wish me luck! This will make
my mission complete! (hence the title of the blog!)
On a less AMAZING note, over the weekend, I experienced a horrible
neck strain. I am actually writing this with (still) a sore and
terrible pain that does not allow me to turn my head to the left.
It was a pain that I have never experienced before! I received
treatments (chiropractic) over the weekend and followed up with hot
packs and anti-inflammatory supplements, and I feel exceptionally
better than the first day that it happened. I am telling you this
not to make you feel bad for me, but to attest to the fact that I
could not get through this weekend without our "medicine."
Advanced Clinical Theory
In Advanced Clinical Theory class, we've been working on
numerous cases and not only do we discuss all the possible
"pathology" occurring, but we also are encouraged to recognize the
"blissors." "Blissors" is a term that we've learned from Dr. Lou to
describe the things that make someone happy and content beyond all
the "pathology" surrounding him/her. This has inspired me to
examine my blissors and I will be including them at the end of each
blog not only to be a small reminder to myself but to all of you!
Have a great week everyone!
Blissor #1: Other than my husband, this little man is my favorite.
He is a miniature reminder of how good life is!
The best part of being so close to the beautiful city of Chicago
is just that! You get all the culture, amazing food, beautiful
skyscrapers, and it makes you feel small, which helps me get my
mind off of stresses of school! The two girls in the picture with
me are my best friends. We have been through so much together from
childhood all the way until now - adulthood. I feel so blessed to
have the relationships I have with them. Unfortunately, adulthood
has also brought so many changes that have just added to our
friendship but has also created more obstacles to see each
This weekend
we were just spontaneous and decided to have an impromptu girl's
day. We walked along Taylor Avenue as Marathon runners were hitting
their 17-18th mile, which was so inspiring. The weather was
gorgeous so we walked all the way to "Maxwell's Market," which is
held every Sunday from 7am to about 4pm. It is an amazing strip
that goes about 3-4 blocks filled with vendors selling anything you
can think of from coffee pots to amazing tacos! The place in the
picture is a must find and must eat!!! We try to go to the market
at least once or twice a year and we always hunt that place down to
have their homemade tortillas and tacos! It's THE BEST!
Basking in the sun and hanging out with my girls are ways I deal
with stress of any kind. What do you do? If you are a part of this
graduate program (single or dual), you will be forced to find ways
to deal with your stress. Some people party it off, some people
shop it off, some people become hermits, and more! I think I tried
a little bit of all of the above and realized that BALANCE is
probably the best way to deal with it. Have a little fun, a minimal
amount of retail therapy can be soothing, and finding quietness is
priceless. Enjoy the city if you're not from here. Go to a musical,
ice skate in the midst of giant buildings, and visit the swarming
Maxwell's Market for a fresh pina colada and homemade tacos. Do it
all but all in moderation.
If you don't, you will go crazy. Literally! That is probably the
best advice I can give you. Take time for yourself and for school.
It will pay off. I can tell you this… in my graduating class there
are all kinds of people from all walks of life. There is the
adamant over-achiever who studies studying and then there is that
person who studies and then takes time off… and you know what? We
are all graduating in less than four months. You have to be happy
Have a great week guys!

James Randi has a passion for poking holes in pseudoscience. We speak highly of science and reason, but when it comes to their own stupid beliefs, people are seldom reasonable. For most of us at some point, pseudoscience rules the mind.
For instance, how many people who consider themselves sensible and above superstition eagerly buy into claims of the paranormal? Parapsychology shows up on some university curricula, and the CIA/DIA funded programs for 15 years under the umbrella "Stargate" operation, so there must be something to it, mustn't there? Atlantis, crystal healing, and extraterrestrials in Mesoamerica all have enduring appeal. College-educated adults believe their gut rather than the science that says vaccinations don't cause autism.
When it comes to life's most complex questions, why do so many otherwise intelligent individuals substitute feelings and belief for fact and cold, hard reason?
Like the dark side of the Force, mysticism gives us quick and easy answers. Our brains are designed to pull patterns from chaos, to see order where none exists, and then to give preference to evidence that supports our biases. This isn't just a problem of the religious believers so many "rationalists" mock; it stalks even the most hallowed halls of academia (and, apparently, the CIA).
And the public eats it up.

The film: "Walking the Line" (USA/Mexico, 2005, 57 min., documentary, BetaSP)
The directors: Jeremy Levine and Landon Van Soest
Recap: In the opening scene of "Walking the Line," an old lady waves a gun and says, "I'm the law of my property, now get out."
That sets the stage for this documentary that explores the chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border, where thousands of immigrants enter the United States daily.
Debuting at a time when U.S. immigration policy is an increasingly hot-button issue, "Walking the Line" is a fair and balanced portrayal of opposing views. From private landowners and citizens who are taking the law into their own hands by patrolling the border, to vigilantes who carry semi-automatic weapons, to pastors who drop food and water in the desert for immigrants, all sides are portrayed equally in this film.
The film sets up the debate between vigilantes who see Mexican immigrants as a "hostile foreign force" looking to reclaim the Southwest United States and the religious workers who also decry present immigration policy, which they say forces immigrants to make dangerous treks across the desert.
This is a timely and intensely interesting film that deserves attention.
Next showing: 10 a.m. today, Lucas Theatre

Fox's coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII in less than three weeks and that means the buzz about the ads are begining to start.
This year a :30 second ad will go for $4 million dollars per spot.
For a number of years Super Bowl ads were kept very, very quiet. The goal was to hide them away from viewers so that after the big game there would be a buzz about the ad that stole the show.
However, over the past few years sponsors have leaked their ads to different websites and they found out that fans would actually tune to watch their favorite ad spots.
Facebook and Twitter have helped grow social media and allowing fans to see the spots before they air in the game is a very smart plan by sponsors .
Scarlett Johansson is getting a Super Bowl ad on behalf of SodaStream home carbination machines. Jaguar wants you very much to keep an eye out for Ben Kingsley and two more "British Villains." Stephen Colbert will make his Super Bowl debut for Wonderful Pistachios. And David Beckham will hawk H&M in the Super Bowl's first shoppable ad. And if you want the complete list of sponsors for the game click here.
Well starting today you can begin to see a large number of Super Bowl ads at YouTube Ad Blitz…Click here and check out what you will be seeing on February 2nd during the game.

Denise C.wrote a review of Prana Stretch Zion Pant - Men's on March 29, 2012
I bought these for my tall, skinny husband and they were a failure. He is 5'11 and 145 pounds. He normally wears a 32/34 (although that 32 waist is sometimes a little loose). I bought a small to fit his waist and they were ridiculously short. Now, with all that said, he wanted to keep them because they were so comfortable. Check out the size chart and if you fit the measurements on the size chart, I'm sure they are an awesome pant.

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
(Page 2 of 2)
The video for "Tijuana Taxi" was shot at the Caliente Racetrack, probably when Mr. Johnny S. Alessio ran the place and made it into the biggest legal gambling business in North America. Alessio was also the "A" of Mr. A's, the famous San Diego restaurant. (Alpert was the "A" of A&M records, a very successful independent record company he created with Jerry Moss in 1962.)
Out on the street today, the old-guard Tijuana musicians still haven't passed a verdict on Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's influence and importance in the musical history of the city. Some of the musicians who used to play on Revolution Avenue during the 1950s and '60s vaguely remember Alpert and his Americachi sound. Some describe him as either a great ambassador of the Tijuana sound or a backstabbing gringo that came and used Tijuana like any other turista comes for a one-night stay of cheap thrills. Other rumors say Alpert honed his chops on the trumpet while playing with a mariachi band at the Foreign Club Café. There is even an image of Alpert with a group of mariachi musicians on the back cover of the Lonely Bull album, yet Alpert himself says that it was shot strictly for the album cover design:
"That was a group that…at this bullfight, there was this place in Tijuana called the Caesar…a hotel. It's where Caesar salad was invented. [Laughs.] Since you asked for a little bit of trivia, I have some of my own, man! There was a mariachi group playing there. I was a hit in Tijuana at that point, too. So, I went down on a Sunday after we had finished the album and took a picture of these guys and Jerry [Moss] thought it would be a good idea to have them on the album."
One member of the famous Tijuana Latin jazz group the Travelers, a band that became a sensation in San Diego, mentions that while listening to the TJB he did not feel too much enthusiasm for the gringo-light Latin rhythms.
Gabriel Bravo, a pianist that used to have a jazz trio in the '60s and is the son of Miguel Bravo (the first bullring bandleader), remembers that his band's repertoire included "A Taste of Honey" (from the album Whipped Cream and Other Delights) and a few other TJB hits that tourists requested as if they were home-grown Tijuana tunes. Gabriel sits today four days a week at a piano playing jazz standards in an Italian restaurant in the Zona Rio of Tijuana, a one-man legacy of the days of cabarets, bars, bullfights, and the Tijuana sound.
Waiting for Herb
The mixed feeling toward Herb Alpert and his relationship (or lack of) with Tijuana is a never-ending topic with the musician viejos of the city. Undoubtedly, Alpert created a mythical vision of Tijuana with his sound and contributed to the already dynamic musical history of the town. But there is an interesting relationship between the success of the TJB with the image of the city and its dream of the future that was distinct during the late 1960s and early '70s.
Tijuana was growing up from a rough and bewildering past as the California playground in Old Mexico — or as "America's bargain-basement of sin," as Hollywood once dubbed the city. The city was on a journey into adulthood, and the sound of the TJB was the soundtrack created by the idea of being modern — utopia embodied by the sound of a trumpet. Today it doesn't matter if Herb and his band spent time with their adopted city because all myths regarding this city tend to be larger than Tijuana itself.
From Jelly Roll Morton to the Agua Caliente Casino and the Caesar salad, the Tijuana Brass is part of the legend that Tijuana relies on for a bit of sanity in our current and post 9/11 world of Operation Gatekeeper, NAFTA, drug-cartel violence, and ubiquitous squatter urbanism. The TJB continues to be heard in Tijuana, and in my family it will probably continue to be the soundtrack of Christmas until the younger members make their stand and dedicate the night to Lady Gaga, the Nortec Collective, or Julieta Venegas. Today, I think the city is ready for a good shot of brass-sounding retro-utopia, so if you're listening, Mr. Alpert, there is still a Tijuana taxi to welcome you into the city one more time.
Rene Peralta is an architect from Tijuana and a Woodbury University professor. He is coauthor of the book Here is Tijuana (2006). He is currently working on a new book titled "Tijuana Moods," which chronicles the musical history and urban development of Tijuana. His website: generica.com.mx.
Very interesting piece. When I was young I would listen to Alpert a lot, my parents loved his sound. It never occurred to me that I would ever visit Tijuana, much less live here. I did not then, nor do I now, equate his sound in much of that era to true Mexican music; more to a hybrid of Spanish music with a mamba influence. While it is certainly true that Alpert capitalized on Tijuana, it is also possible that his music brought new tourism here during that period far exceeding the income he gained. I would view it as a good trade for both.
Two items in the article I can add to: Alpert is quoted on the A & M website as being "inspired to find a way to musically express what [he] felt while watching the wild responses of the crowd, and hearing the brass musicians introducing each new event with rousing fanfare." I would think that this could be interpreted as musical inspiration. Also, any rumors that Alpert is a Tijuanense can be dispelled. He is Jewish, was born in Los Angeles, and to my knowledge has no Latin blood. His father, in fact, was Russian-born.
I look forward to reading the Spanish version of this story.
The only thing I like about Alpert is that his records pop up everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I have a tendency to frequent the second hands shops in my town here in Sweden, called Nässjö, smack in the middle of the Swedish Highlands and yeap, you can find his records there. There is even a website that deals with second hand trinkets and yes, people eagerly pay to buy old records of Alpert. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Nice piece Rene! Glad to see you mention Los Dug Dug's. More of that please.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)- San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee started his Pride Week celebration Saturday by attending the installation ceremony of the Pink Triangle atop Twin Peaks. He also praised the state of New York for Friday night's passage of legislation that would legalize same-sex marriage.
Lee called it an historic vote.
"I know the people here are celebrating and realizing that it's yet another important state, that these are important relationships that are worth legal justification," he said.
With New York now the sixth state to legalize same sex marriage Lee said California is behind.
KCBS' Anna Duckworth Reports:
He hopes the latest decision resonates here. "I am eager for our courts to rule in the right way, because I think that there are legal arguments that support that, but the legislation in New York did the right thing," said the mayor.
Same-sex marriage was legal in California between June and November of 2008, until it was overturned by voter approved Proposition 8.

I'll be filming today a version of my old show "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" touring unbeaten boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s three Las Vegas homes and his extraordinary collections of cars and jewelry.
It's a Showtime special to air in advance of his fight May 3 at MGM Grand Garden Arena against Argentine boxer Marcus Maidana.
Be sure to check back right here at Vegas DeLuxe for the incredible story and photo gallery later this month.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows, but there also is the rule never to talk party allegiances at dinner. It leads to heated words and often an out-of-control situation bordering on fisticuffs. One such Las Vegas restaurant dinner party exploded with two recognizable figures "going at it furiously" over Obamacare and presidential executive orders.
The dinner ended with guests quickly headed for the bathroom while the Las Vegas VIP and his California guest continued the argument. Just before tempers reached the breaking point, one turned his back on the other and excited as waiters and managers were sworn to secrecy over the incident.
SALUTING JERRY: Four days of festivities honoring our city's legendary entertainer Jerry Lewis begin in Hollywood with the Fifth Annual TCM Classic Film Festival, which will screen his 1963 classic "The Nutty Professor." Jerry will be on hand and then Saturday cements his legacy with a hand-and-footprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.
Jerry will take part in an audience Q+A with actress Ileana Douglas as MC. The festival also pays tribute to Las Vegas regular Quincy Jones, who will be here April 25 for the Keep Memory Alive salute to Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan.
Quincy is marking the 50th anniversary of Sidney Lumet's "The Pawnbroker" from 1964, which marked his debut as a film composer.
WOLF'S RESTAURANT EXPANSION: Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck was mobbed by foodie fans Wednesday when he launched his new cookbook at an autograph signing in Caesars Palace. I MC'd his Sip & Savor party at Spago to kick off the four days of UNLVino.
Wolf was presented with the Dom Perignon Award of Excellence, and UNLV student Jessica Gordon thanked him for his 21 years of contributions to the scholarship that supports our William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. Wolf checked the taste treats of all eight of his Las Vegas restaurant chefs before he pronounced them OK to serve the 400 guests.
Luxor headliner comedian Carrot Top and actor comedian Brad Garrett were among the guests leading the applause. Wolf, who had to leave early for a flight to Dubai, said his next restaurants will be in Macau and Singapore, but he also will open a Spago in Summerlin this year. We'll have my full interview with Wolf next week.
CONGRATULATIONS! Four of my good pals — illusionist Criss Angel, Best Models owner Ken Henderson, artist Jerry Misko and Tao/Lavo marketing chief Mike Snedegar were honored as members of the 2014 Vegas Dozen. Outfitted in new suits from Saks 5th Avenue, they walked the runway at Fashion Show to thunderous applause from more than 300 admirers.
Mike said he remembers starting out in Las Vegas in 2000 as a busboy at Mandalay Bay and working his way up the Strip's ladder. Criss recalled that his first visit here was in a beat-up car, and he stayed in a cheap motel to save money to see a Siegfried & Roy show, vowing one day he would be starring on the Strip. Dreams do come true!
BIG-BUCKS PHOTO: Landscape photographer Jeff Mitchum has sold his award-winning image "Third Day" for $1.8 million, making it one of the most expensive landscape photographs ever purchased. It served as the stunning entrance piece to his gallery at MGM Grand. The collector's edition photograph is printed on archival 4x5 Ilfochrome silver halide paper, making it one of the largest prints of the high-sellers.
The image will last as long as 300 years on this museum-quality paper and is framed in Aspen tree bark from the Eastern Sierras. Captured using a large-format camera, "Third Day" is a result of patience and faith that Mother Nature paints a picture in her own time. To shoot the stunning image, Jeff returned to the same spot in the Eastern Sierras for 15 years until he was able to capture the best light, rolling-storm backdrop and colors of autumn.
Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer launches his weekly series of Chasing Thursday cigar and cocktail parties in Swan Court of his restaurant Aureole in Mandalay Bay.
Hot-shot Chicago restaurant owner Matthias Merges opens his no-glitz, no-frills street-food bistro Yusho tonight at Monte Carlo.
Plans for Friday's preview of Holly Madison's 1923 Bourbon and Burlesque cabaret room at Mandalay Bay have been postponed due to construction delays, but I'm promised that April 18's grand opening will occur.
The 40th anniversary celebrations of UNLVino continue with the three-hour BAR-B-Q spectacular with Las Vegas mixologists shaking and stirring around Garden of the Gods pool at Caesars.
Rev Run and Ruckus lead the party at Hakkasan in MGM Grand.
Grouplove and Warpaint are at Boulevard Pool in the Cosmopolitan.
Bonobo headlines at Brooklyn Bowl in the Linq.
Darren Moore and Jeffrey Peterson headline Bonkerz at Rampart.
And the Clark County Rodeo Fair kicks off four days of festivities at Clark County Fairgrounds in Logandale — CCFair.com.
It's an action-packed knockout weekend with the showdown rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, plus the pool party pleasure pits continue to open with the granddaddy of them all — Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel starring Robin Thicke and Flo Rida for the Season 11 debut. Olivia Newton-John officially opens her run at the Flamingo, Human Nature celebrate 1,000 shows, and Jason Alexander starts a residency at Harrah's with his hair!

If you happen to come to the Orlando area on vacation, there is an Adidas outlet store on International Drive (Tacky Tourist Drive). I picked up a pair there about 6 months ago for $50.00, I would have picked up a second pair but they ony had one in my size at the time.
The manager said they only come in intermittently and on one occasion a rep from a Ga. police agency came in and bought his entire stock onhand.
Call them, they may ship to you... 407-351-1134
BTW, the most comfortable boot I've ever worn...
