What's in Episode #11?
In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, I'm talking about the power of traditional foods. Though my family entered the realm of healthy cooking with a whole food diet, we saw even more benefits come our way when we added traditional methods such as soaking, sprouting, and sourdough.
So pretty much, that's what I'm talking about today. 🙂
Now you might not know what traditional foods are. You'll learn that in this episode. But here's a quick definition (in my own words):
Traditional foods are old-fashioned foods. There are three parts to this: first the ingredients (the raw materials) are whole foods and easily recognizable. Second, many traditional foods (like butter and whole milk) tend to be shunned by modern society because they're demonized by modern nutritional theory. But refined, nutrition-devoid foods and highly processed, rancid vegetable oils (among other things) are really to blame for modern diseases. Third, the foods are prepared for best nutrition, like how natural pickled foods have greater vitamins, enzymes and probiotics or how flour is soured to make nutritious sourdough bread. This is what people ate before factory farms and food industrialization — and they were more healthy. The skills of preparing foods this way has been lost in our modern society. I'm interested in bringing them back — and I hope, so are you!
I'd love to convince you that traditional foods are the way to go — and in this episode, I share six reasons why embracing traditional foods and traditional cooking methods is a very good thing.
Then I talk about how to achieve this — how to make a personal action plan for implementing the transformation.
You may or may not be surprised at the things that can happen when you start eating traditional foods — you'll look better and feel better. You'll save money. I think I found some other reasons to rejoice, too.
Take heart — if any of it just seems too overwhelming, I round up the episode with two things to boost your success: four things you can do that will pack a huge punch and resources (both free and paid) to help you get there.

Listener Questions
Kirsten asks, "I've heard some crock pots contain lead…do you know of any brands that are safe to use?"
Great question! I have a place for you to start at least — and that is with the Hamilton-Beach slow cookers. Hamilton-Beach crockpots have no measureable amounts of lead.
You might also look at the VitaClay slow cookers and rice cookers. I don't have one, but everyone I know who does, loves theirs! They are tested and found to be 99.99% lead free, which is as accurate as the independent testing goes — in other words, they could be 100% lead-free but the test didn't go that far!
If anyone has suggestions for Kirsten, please leave a comment. Thanks!

iTunes Update
If you subscribed to my podcast on iTunes early on, I must ask you to subscribe again as that original listing has been deprecated. This is because I had to start all over again at iTunes. My original submission to iTunes didn't include the right information — like cover image or even my name as the author of the podcast. I figured out how to fix it, but unfortunately iTunes doesn't let you update a listing — you have to start over. So I started over right here. (By the way, you'll know you've got the right one because the right one has the cover artwork instead of the generic blue microphone graphic.) Please resubscribe!

A 4-year-old colt by Empire Maker, Sky Kingdom pressed the pace
in the Tokyo City, assumed command going to the quarter pole and went on
to an authoritative 3 ¾ length victory under Martin Garcia—while
earning a San Juan Capistrano best last-out Beyer Speed figure of 104.
"He looked great today," said Baffert following the Tokyo City.
"The only spot to run him was a mile and a half. I didn't know if he
could do it…it's pretty exciting."
Owned by Westrock Stables LLC, Sky Kingdom had never been beyond
1 1/16 miles prior to the Tokyo City. As he was on dirt, he figures to
lay close to the pace in the San Juan Capistrano. Sky Kingdom has
earnings of $233,730 from a career mark of 9-4-0-1.
Trainer Ron McAnally, who won his first of two San Juan
Capistrano's in 1980 with the legendary John Henry, will send out
Argentine-bred Interaction, who comes off a disappointing fourth as the
2-1 favorite in the Grade II, 1 ½ miles San Luis Rey Stakes on March 16.
Prior to that, the 7-year-old horse made a big run from off the pace
but was second, beaten a length, as the 7-2 favorite in the Grade II, 1 ¼
miles San Marcos Stakes.
A multiple Group I winner in Argentina, Interaction was second
in the Grade I Eddie Read Stakes at Del Mar Aug. 25. He'll be reunited
on Sunday with Joe Talamo, who rode him to second place finishes in both
the San Marcos and the Grade II Hollywood Turf Cup on Dec. 15.
Owned by Pozo de Luna Inc., Interaction is in search of his
first win since June 16, 2012, a classified allowance score at Betfair
Hollywood Park going 1 1/8 miles on turf. His overall mark stands at
22-6-5-2, and he has earnings of $624,463.
Second in the San Luis Rey and third in the San Marcos, the Pete
Miller-trained All Squared Away is a solid fit in the San Juan
Capistrano. Ridden by Edwin Maldonado at odds of 12-1 in the San Luis
Rey, the 4-year-old Bellamy Road gelding sat much closer to the early
pace than he had in his recent races and was beaten 3 ¼ lengths.
Owned by Brous Stable or Wachtel Stable or Wire to Wire Stables
and partners, All Squared Away has earnings of $304,809 from a career
mark of 20-4-3-3.
Trainer Neil Drysdale, who won the San Juan in 2010 and 2012 with
Bourbon Bay, will send out Fire with Fire, who comes off a third place
finish with Tyler Baze aboard in the San Luis Rey at odds of 20-1.
A 5-year-old gelding by Distorted Humor, Fire With Fire figures
to again lay close to the pace, or perhaps be on the early lead in the
San Juan Capistrano. Owned by David Heerensperger, his recored stands
at 21-2-6-4, with earnings of $233,444.
Smart Ellis, trained by Richard Mandella, comes off a clever
second condition allowance score going 1 1/8 miles on turf March 3 and
will try to improve on the stretch out. Ridden by Gary Stevens last
time, the 4-year-old colt by Smarty Jones laid close to a fast pace,
came three-wide into the lane and won by a length. He'll get the
services of Garrett Gomez on Sunday.
Mandella, who won the San Juan in 1993 with Kotashaan, will try
for his second win with Smart Ellis, who is owned by his breeders,
Wertheimer and Frere. He has earnings of $151,840 from an overall mark
of 11-3-1-1.
The complete field for the 74th running of the San Juan
Capistrano Handicap, with jockeys and weights in post position order:
Interaction, Joe Talamo, 118; All Squared Away, Edwin Maldonado, 117;
Fire With Fire, Tyler Baze, 116; Lime Rickey, Rafael Bejarano, 112; Sky
Kingdom, Martin Garcia, 120; Oilisblackgold, Martin Pedroza, 115, and
Smart Ellis, Garrett Gomez, 115.

APThe Russian city of Chelyabinsk was rocked today as it was hit by what appears to have been a meteorite weighing up to 11 tons.
At least 400 people have been reported injured, and the photos from the scene paint a crazy picture.
Given the abundance of mobile phones and dash-cams in Russia, the meteor and its aftermath is extremely well documented.

There isn't a draft-style MLS Fantasy game this season, but we still thought it would be fun to see who the consensus No.1 selection might be if you had to choose right now.
For the sake of simplicity, we limited the draft pool to the eight fantasy players who'll cost you a league-high $11.0m. So with several options to pick from and only one player to own for the entire 2014 season, which one would you take No. 1 overall and why?
TIM CAHILL – Went from one goal and two assists in 2013 to 12 goals and five assists in 2013. If he plays up top with Thierry Henry, there's no reason to question his potential. Not many owners are ponying up considering his hefty price tag right now, but expect that to change once the season gets going. (Teams selected by – 4.2 percent)
BRAD DAVIS – He takes set pieces and penalty kicks, but still only managed five goals and nine assists last year. Hopefully the "left-footed David Beckham" will have a bounce back year, but with other playmakers stepping up around him, Davis looks like a stretch at $11.0m. (Teams selected by – 1.8 percent)
LANDON DONOVAN – LA have just two home games through the first 11 rounds, and he'll miss some time because of the World Cup as well. And if that wasn't enough to convince you to look elsewhere, he's expected to spend more time playing in the midfield this year as opposed to forward. From August to October, Donovan has a favorable schedule, so look for him produce as the calendar turns to fall. (Teams selected by – 11.5 percent)
THIERRY HENRY – He's 36 years old, so expect Henry to miss a few games. Other than that, he's an absolute fantasy beast and looks sharp thus far in preseason. He's a world-class player and a tempting No. 1 selection with New York coming off league-best goalscoring season. (Teams selected by – 6.9 percent)
WILL JOHNSON – Probably the most-underrated player on this list despite the fact that he absolutely crushed it last season. Went from three goals in 2012 to 11 in 2013. Johnson also finished second overall in MLS with 15 clean sheets. And guess what: Portland's defense and attack might be even better this year. (Teams selected by – 3.9 percent)
ROBBIE KEANE – Starting Lineup co-hosts Andrew Wiebe and Jason Saghini and I all agree this guy should be the consensus No. 1 overall pick. Tell us why we're wrong. (Teams selected by – 14.7 percent)
JAVIER MORALES – He turned 34 years old last month, but Morales is still possibly the best No. 10 in all of MLS. He'll be operating under a new coach for the first time since arriving in Salt Lake in 2007, although there shouldn't be much change under Jeff Cassar. Still, it's something to consider. (Teams selected by – 11.1 percent)
GRAHAM ZUSI – "Captain Fantasy" finished among the Top 3 in crosses, key passes, big chances created and total points in 2013. By the looks of it, most fantasy owners expect him to equal those numbers, if not better them, in 2014. (Teams selected by – 22.8 percent)

I have to say I was slightly sceptical after reading some less than stellar reviews but the price for the walking boots I was after was so good I thought I'd give Concord a try. I'm glad I did.
After my initial concern that my order was not showing online after 48hrs (a common problem I think) I called customer services who informed me that all was fine although my order would be slightly late getting to them. As a gesture of goodwill they immediately offered to send my item 'next day' free of charge as soon as they received it.
Overall I have to say I got exactly what I wanted at a fantastic price with great service from the team at Concord.

It's right there in a sea of incorrect capital letters after "CEO of AirAsia, Founder of Tune Group, Principal of Caterham F1 Team, Chairman of QPR," and "Entrepreneur". Rather than dreaming like the rest of us about, say, arriving for his Business Studies A-level wearing only a QPR away shirt, or running through treacle while pursued by an angry Bernie Ecclestone made of wasps, Fernandes' dreams are big, bold, involve football and paying Kieron Dyer thousands of pounds to play Angry Birds.
These dreams are increasingly difficult to differentiate from reality.
Including loans, QPR have brought in 15 players in the year since Fernandes' arrival. Some or all of Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Dawson, Jermain Defoe, Julio Cesar, and Kaka are expected to arrive before Sept 1. (Ok, perhaps not Kaka, but he would fit the profile identified by QPR's scouting network, which appears to be a copy of Football Manager 2008). Planning permission is secured for an urgently needed new training ground. Wild plans are progressing for a not-needed 45,000-capacity stadium.
Fernandes, like Leeds United's Peter Ridsdale before him, is living the dream. It is not quite the wildly wasteful Seth Johnson model popularised at Elland Road, given the frightening wealth of QPR's 33 per cent-owner Lakshmi Mittal, and that Fernandes and vice-chairman Amit Bhatia speak sensibly about the club. But actions speak louder than words and, in football, there are few more vociferous actions than signing an entirely new squad of ageing players in 12 months.
Loftus Road is decrepit, but supporters are correctly concerned about the mooted capacity for a new ground. Clubs can overachieve for sustained periods under talented management and with an exceptional group of players or a powerful club-wide philosophy. What is basically unheard of is a club entirely transcending its status in the long term.
Manchester City and Chelsea being ferociously bankrolled to glory is one thing. Transforming a mid-level club whose traditional home is the lower half of the Championship to one capable of attracting the same crowds as Liverpool is simply impossible.
There is perhaps an ingrained British suspicion of class mobility at work here, the ancestral hangover that meekly warns that one must not aspire to be more than one is. There is also reality informed by years of precedents. This season's QPR has a strong whiff of past expensive failures: the Middlesbrough team of Ravanelli, Juninho and Emerson that were relegated from the top flight in 1997, or the West Ham side that suffered the same fate in 2003 despite Carrick, Di Canio, Defoe and Joe Cole.
With every new signing, there's an increasingly noisy question from some corners of the QPR support: where does it all end? The answer? Usually in tears.
In a past life as a construction industry journalist, I interviewed a Portsmouth board member about a planned move to an exciting new stadium. That venue now resides in the netherworld of unrealised artist's impressions. Portsmouth are in the all-too-real netherworld that is League One.
I asked him: "You've doing incredibly well at the moment, but lots of clubs have good spells under good managers. What happens if Harry Redknapp leaves?"
A slightly blank look. A pause for thought. A considered reply: "That is not a part of our business plan."
Football is not business. If it was, it would have been wound up long ago or smaller clubs would have been swallowed up by five or six giants like so many independent High Street retailers.
The Portsmouth director's lack of foresight and the culture of optimistic PR speak around QPR excludes the possibility of failure. Fernandes is dreaming big, and QPR supporters should be grateful for his dedication. They would perhaps feel a little more comfortable if his club stopped behaving like they were inside a video game.

Glad to see Michigan so well represented. Don't for Numero 1 our own native son, Willard RMONEY of RMONEYCARE!!! We produced THREE of the BIGGEST LOSERS!!! LOL
* Thad McCotter: That the Michigan Republican Congressman chose to run for president at all was a major head-scratcher.(The extent of McCotters fame came from his regular spots on Fox News Channels overnight programming.) McCotter could have been forgiven his quixotic presidential campaign.(After all, what politician doesnt want to run for president?) But what sealed McCotters spot on our worst candidate list was his amazing failure to qualify for reelection in House district after large numbers of his petition signatures were deemed fraudulent. McCotter eventually resigned from the House in July, ending one of the oddest congressional careers we have ever witnessed.(One thing to McCotters credit: He quoted Bob Dylans Its All Over Now, Baby Blue in the statement announcing his resignation.)
* Ric Sanchez: If you blinked, you probably missed Sanchezs candidacy for the Texas U.S. Senate seat. When he got into the race in May 2011, Democrats touted Sanchez, a former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, as just the sort of candidate who could make the Lone Star State competitive. Not so much. By December 2011, Sanchez was out of the race citing a need to put his family first.(His home in San Antonio had been devastated by a fire a month earlier.) Even before the fire, however, Sanchez had proven a lackluster candidate raising just a few hundred thousand dollars in a state where running for statewide office is a tens-of-millions-of-dollars proposition.
* Todd Akin: Its a very rare candidate Christine ODonnell, we are looking at you who can take a race that his/her party will win and turn it abruptly into a race that the party will lose. Missouri Rep. Todd Akin is just such a candidate. Had Akin never agreed to a single media interview or debated Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) after he won an August Republican primary, we would almost certainly be talking about him as the next senator from the Show Me State. But Akin chose a different route telling a local news channel that legitimate rape rarely causes pregnancy. Um, what? From that day onward, Akin had no chance to win. Everyone knew that, except for Akin and his increasingly small political inner circle who insisted he was staying in the race as a matter of principle.(What principle? The one about costing your party a Senate seat?) Akin wound up losing by 16 points in a state that Mitt Romney won by 11 points. Underperforming your presidential nominee by 27 points earns you a spot on the Fixs worst candidate list every time.(Honorable, honorable mention: Richard Mourdock.)
* Pete Hoekstra: Less than two years removed from losing a gubernatorial primary in the Wolverine State, Hoesktra, a former Member of Congress, took just 38 percent of the vote against Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) in the 2012 election. The most notable moment of Hoekstras campaign was for all the wrong reasons; his Debbie Spend-It-Now ad got national attention for being so very offensive. Make it stop.

Without a doubt Minstrel Show token Uncle Tom-Herman Cain was by far the worst idiot the right-wingers had as a potential republican nominee. His blatant ignorance as he searched in the air with his eyes on the Libya question will be forever priceless; I laughed so hard at the thought that he really believed that he could be president. But it was the humiliation fashion in which he exited the political stage that gave me the most satisfaction.

Why should Rick Perry get all the discredit? What about Herman Cain and his German solution to our economic woes - nein-nein-nein? Or Newt (to the moon, Alice!) Gingrich. Or the lovely and idiotic Michele (FROM he moon) Bachmann?
Not that I begrudge Rick Perry his top honors. But Rick is lucky he didn't have to face someone who might have been the greatest threat to his award of all - Sarah (ain't North Korea grand?) Palin.

IF "Americans are the stupidest people on earth..." as you said, please tell me what country are you from? I think the smart people voted for Obama for a reason. The other side had a guy talking to an empty chair, and another guy named Trump who wears a thing on his head that growls at everyone. I think Obama voters are pretty normal.

Worse than Watergate, but not near as bad as 9/11 when
Bush and Cheney totally ignored all "dire" warnings from

So many 2012 Republican incompetents, yet only one can truly be "worst". What a pity.

Please list those warning for us will you? I am sure a genius like you will have them on the tip of your tongue.
Let's see, was one of those warnings that Clinton refused Osama bin Laden three times?
How about is one the fact that Clintons protege made it illegal for the different agencies to share intellegence information?
Oh well, I'm sure yours will be just as good.
#20 Nov 20, 2012
Agreed...in a race with Cain and Bachmann, no way could Perry be the run-away winner of the 'worst candidate' award. You could've given the thing to almost ANY reTHUGlican, in fact.
I'd except only Huntsman from that statement, and you see how well HE did...:)
#21 Nov 20, 2012
Try this one on for size, JumboSpam.
That was the presidential briefing just over a month before the attacks, in which Bush was warned that bin Laden wanted to strike the U.S. and which mentions the possibility of the seizing or hijacking of aircraft.
#22 Nov 20, 2012
Translation: "WAA-AAAAAAHH! We LOST!!"
Seriously, Benghazi was worse than Watergate? How about worse than the attack on the Marine Barracks in Beirut under Reagan?
You'd be wrong on BOTH counts, putz.

text: A huge group of between 40 and 50 migrants attacked the security at their asylum camp using fists and stones to beat the guards who were forced to call in local police to quell the riot. A migrant camp built in an industrial area of the Eastern German town of Hessisch Lichtenau was the scene of a massive wave of violence from up to 50 asylum seekers who turned on the men hired to guard them. Police were alerted at 10:15pm by the guards who had reported that the situation had gotten out of their control as the migrants set upon them, attacking them with fists and even throwing large rocks at them reports local paper Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine. According to the official police report, the attack began as a result of many of the migrants being intoxicated after they had drunk too much alcohol. A 20-year-old migrant had returned to the camp around 10pm and had randomly started to throw chairs in a drunken stupor. The guards stopped the drunken migrant who then fled and hid in a nearby toilet. After dragging him from his hiding place the migrant resisted the security guards and was joined by four other migrant men aged

Truth about CDC vaccine fraud revealed by Jon Rappoport in new video interview
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) We've just posted a Health Ranger Report interview with investigative journalist Jon Rappoport, one of the last remaining honest investigative journalists in America.
The full interview is
available on YouTube
. The interview was recorded right before
Dr. Thompson made a public confession of a CDC conspiracy
to commit scientific fraud and bury evidence linking MMR vaccines to autism.
Dr. Thompson's admission of scientific fraud at the CDC is now a matter of public record, even though the corporate-run media is continuing its total media blackout on the story, condemning countless more African-American babies to vaccine violence while the truth remains hidden.
In this interview, I discuss with Rappoport the latest developments in the MMR vaccine fraud revelations, including the widespread media cover-up, the history of U.S. government medical experiments on African-Americans, the criminality of the CDC and its money-laundering scientists, and why the CDC is little more than a regulatory pawn of the vaccine industry.
Watch the full interview here:
Jon Rappoport also posted a very insightful story about CNN's desperate resorting to serial liars to "defend" MMR vaccines and lie to the public about their safety.
Here is Rappoport's full article:
CNN asks serial lying liar to comment on the CDC whistleblower scandal
by Jon Rappoport from
Yesterday, CNN published an article about CDC whistleblower William Thompson.
(CNN: "Journal questions validity of autism and vaccine study" -- the CNN reporter for this story is Debra Goldschmidt (twitter: @debgcnn). Jacque Wilson and Miriam Falco also contributed to this story. The story is augmented with a video featuring CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen (twitter: @elizcohencnn)...)
The day before yesterday, Thompson confessed that he and other
coauthors fabricated a 2004 CDC study, in order to hide an MMR-vaccine connection to autism.
Those other co-authors included Dr. Frank DeStefano. DeStefano was the lead author of the 2004 study.
So naturally... CNN goes to DeStefano for a quote defending the safety of vaccines, and De Stefano, the accused liar, tells another lie without blushing, without missing a beat.
He says:
"We know the brain and cellular features for children begin when the child is still in the womb. The brain is already developing the wiring that will manifest in autism."
In other words, according to DeStefano, vaccines couldn't cause autism, because it's already forming before the child has ever had a
If that were true, why bother to do thousands of studies that allege there is no vaccine-autism connection?
DeStefano is lying. If he had proof -- brain-scan pictures -- that show autism forming in the womb, the world would have seen them by now. Those pictures would be front and center in the DSM, the official bible of mental disorders. Those pictures, in fact, would be the diagnostic test that confirms the presence of autism.
But guess what? If you go to the DSM and the definition of autism, you will find no defining diagnostic tests. No brain scans. No pictures. No blood test. No urine test. No genetic assay.
Frank DeStefano is a liar.
DeStefano is a very important serial liar at the CDC. He isn't just a liar who lied in the 2004 study that exonerated the MMR vaccine.
He has authored work exonerating mercury in vaccines.
And DeStefano isn't just an author. No. He happens to be, since 2004, when he lied about the MMR vaccine, the Acting Chief of the CDC's Immunization Safety Branch of the National Immunization Program.
DeStefano is The Man when it comes to vaccine safety.
The Lying Man. He is in charge of other liars.
Good work, CNN. You're upholding your reputation as the most trusted name in serial lying.

What started as a routine walk with their dog turned into one of the greatest treasure finds in U.S. history.
A California couple, identified only as John and Mary, encountered a rusty metal can sticking out of the ground while walking their dog on their property. After digging up a grand total of eight cans, the two found a collection of 1,427 uncirculated gold coins — dating from 1847 to 1894 — in mint condition. While carrying a face value of $28,000, the find is said to be worth more than $10 million.
"We've seen shipwrecks in the past where thousands of gold coins were found in very high grade, but a buried treasure of this sort is unheard of," said David McCarthy, a coin expert working for Kagin's — the currency firm representing the couple . "I've never seen this face value in North America, and you never see coins in the condition we have here."
The couple wishes to remain anonymous in order to changing their current lifestyle and to prevent possible treasure hunters descending upon their property in search of more gold. They aim to sell most of the coins through Amazon — using the proceeds to pay off bills and donate to charities.

Legend of Mana (ccd) ISO
Sony Playstation / PSX PS1 ISOsGenre: Role-Playing
Rating: ESRB: T, CERO: A
How to Play this Game ?
Quick Navigation:
Game Description & Reviews:
Magic, Multiple Weapon Types, Pets, Allies, Non-Linear Story, Weapon Blacksmithing, Magic Creation, Pet Caretaking, Multiple Quests and a LOT more inside an amazing game. If you want to play a incredible action-RPG, then Legend of Mana is for you!
Legend of Mana, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana ("Holy Sword Legend: Legend of Mana"), is the fourth game in the Mana series. The game was released for the PlayStation in North America on June 7, 2000. While Legend of Mana was the fourth installment released in the series, the next console-based Mana game, Dawn of Mana, is the official fourth game (in Japan, it is known as Seiken Densetsu 4).
While incorporating action role-playing elements from the three games which preceded it, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the game's world of Fa'Diel according to his or her desires, a system which was incorporated through the use of "artifacts," which are gained as the player progresses through the game. The player uses the artifacts to create different towns, dungeons, etc., called "Lands", to venture to and explore. This creates a non-linear gameplay, since the game is driven by a series of what would be considered side-quests in other games. Legend of Mana features three different plots which can occur simultaneously, and which do not necessarily need to be completed for the player to finish the game.
Legend of Mana was a financial success in America. While the game garnered considerable praise for its graphics and presentation, many critics disliked the game's unclear main storyline.

... NBC's Fear Factor is known for pushing the limits of tastefulness, and it's latest stunt tastes like salty grains. The reality competition, in which contestants participate in scary stunts and gross-out tests of stamina, was scheduled to air an episode tonight in which contestants were shown drinking freshly squeezed donkey semen. Word of the stunt hit the web last week, followed by the sound of dry heaving, and NBC opted not to air the challenge. You have to feel for the contestants who actually drank the goo just to get on television, only to not end up on television. They're probably hee-hawing up a storm! [TMZ]
... Mindy Kaling, an actress, writer, and producer on NBC's The Office, has sold a pilot to Fox. The untitled comedy will star Kaling as a gynecologist. With a potential Office spin-off centered on Dwight Schrute in the works and Kaling working on her own show, does that mean The Office is going out of business? We think so. [Vulture]
... CBS has ordered a pilot for Boomtown from Louis C.K. If that sounds familiar, then you have a kick-ass memory, because Louis wrote that thing 13 years ago with Spike Feresten. CBS is trying to revive the multi-camera comedy, about a group of young people trying to realize their dreams while the economy is in the toilet, with a revamped skit to update it to today. This is almost unheard of in the industry. [Deadline Hollywood]
... USA Network has ordered the miniseries Political Animals from producer Greg Berlanti (Dirty Sexy Money, No Ordinary Family). The six-hour drama follows a former First Family and will air this summer. [LA Times]
... Oooh, this one I'm excited about. Fox has picked up a pilot from Moses Port and David Guarascio, the brains behind the incredibly underrated comedy Aliens in America. El Jefe continues their theme of culture clashes and follows a 30-year-old man who gets kicked out of his parents' house and must move in with their cleaning lady and her family. This just earned a spot on my list of things to be excited for in 2012, right alongside Vanilla Ice's acoustic comeback and hamburger-shaped hotdogs! [Deadline Hollywood]
... And here are six more pilots to judge based on very little info. Three of them are at ABC: How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life, about a recently divorced single mom who moves in with her parents. Only Fools & Horses, an adaptation of a British comedy that sees two brothers and their grandfather all try to formulate schemes to become millionaires. And the last one, which is still untitled, is yet ANOTHER show about twentysomethings and relationships and blah blah blah. The other three are at CBS: Friend Me is about two guys who move to Los Angeles; one wants to go out on the town, the other is more content to keep up with friends back home via the internet. Partners follows two guys whose friendship is tested when one of them proposes to his girlfriend. And the last one is from Greg Berlanti, about a man who realizes his female best friend is "the one." Which of these sound good to you? [EW]
... Spike TV, no relation to Spike Feresten, has greenlighted three new reality series. Full Bounty will follow bounty hunters, Tattoo Nightmares is about people removing embarrassing tattoos (really?), and Rat Bastards centers on Louisiana folk who hunt down giant rats in the swamp. Spike is also reviving World's Wildest Police Videos. If any of these sound fun to you, then we have nothing in common. Sorry! [Deadline Hollywood]
... The SAG Awards were held this weekend, and that meant more trophies for Modern Family. The ABC comedy won the prize for Best Ensemble in a Comedy, while Boardwalk Empire took home Best Ensemble honors on the drama side. Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Jessica Lange (American Horror Story), Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), and Betty White (Hot In Cleveland) also won awards. I'm sure I don't have to point out that Breaking Bad was shut out. [SAG Awards]
... Susan Sarandon is joining Showtime's The Big C for multiple episodes. She'll play a cancer survivor named Joy who uses her story to help motivate others. Cathy just wants to use her survival story as an excuse to make the most out of her life. Sheesh! [THR]
... Shirley MacLaine is joining the UK hit drama Downton Abbey. She'll play Lady Grantham's mother. [LA Times]
... Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, will voice himself in the The Simpsons' 500th episode. Assange is still under house arrest in England at a secret location, so he had to do his lines over the phone. [EW]
... Shiri Appleby (Life Unexpected) is about to get Franklin'd and Bash'd! Appleby will guest-star on the TNT series Franklin & Bash, where she will play a "smart and sassy" lawyer, as opposed to those conservative and stupid lawyers we're so used to seeing on television. [TV Line]

Weinstein Studios bets on Kik to build word-of-mouth for The Giver
Film studio The Weinstein Company chose social messaging application Kik over its competitors ? several of which have much larger user bases ? to promote the film adaptation of Lois Lowery?s novel The Giver due to the app?s photo-sharing capabilities and emerging presence.
The campaign centers on virtual stickers that Kik users can use to decorate their photos and then share on social media. A trivia contest is also among the film-related content on the app being used to entice sharing and encourage word-of-mouth advertising.
?Adaptly recommended Kik for The Giver campaign because it offered a combination of large reach to the film?s target audience, as well as the opportunity for significant earned media,? said Sean O'Neal, president at Adaptly, New York. ?The Kik platform was literally built for sharing.
"What we?ve observed of the Kik user is a high propensity to share, or ?kik?, engaging content like photos and videos," he said.
Up and coming
Weinstein?s established relationship with Adaptly has resulted in social advertising campaigns for the company?s films on Facebook and Twitter, and because of the demographic profile of the Kik user base, Adaptly recommended the messaging app to Weinstein for this particular campaign.
Adaptly believed Kik would deliver a high number of shares given the frequent sharing tendencies of the average Kik user.
Kik?s partnership with Weinstein is the messaging app?s first official theatrical advertising campaign.
Adaptly hopes to surpass 1.5 million engagements through Kik, which aims to target ages 18-24 through its efforts. Kik currently reaches more than 150 million users and adds an average of 2 million new users each week.
Recent data also shows that Kik has acquired more downloads on Android than SnapChat and WhatsApp. Kik trails behind Facebook messenger and Skype in a ranking of most downloads total on iOS and Android.
Continuing the entertainment
Sectors within the entertainment industry have been leveraging mobile apps to extend the life of films by providing some type of interactive experience for smartphone users.
Broadcasting and cable company Comcast and entertainment corporation Lionsgate initiated a partnership to build mobile applications for Lionsgate films, offering bonus clips and features for Comcast customers purchasing movies through Xfinity On Demand.
For starters, the team created an app for Lionsgate?s Divergent in an effort to combat a decrease in DVD sales. The collaboration shows an attempt to provide a one-of-a-kind experience for fans of the Divergent franchise and future Lionsgate films to come (see story).
Broadway musical ?Holler If Ya Hear Me? promoted strategically through social to target urban, hip-hop enthusiasts, particularly a younger generation.
The musical was inspired by the life of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, with the marketing strategy designed to connect the world of hip-hop to another area of entertainment: Broadway. These initiatives showcased how entertainment properties can leverage mobile to reach a targeted audience (see story).
Given Adaptly?s targeted strategy combined the tailored content for smartphone users specifically, Weinstein hopes the Kik platform will deliver an experience that will resonate with the audience and drive engagement.
In the past, Kik has shown a lot of potential for marketers that are trying to reach a younger demographic with creative, engaging material that goes beyond the banner ad (see story).
Perhaps the success of the campaign will determine future partnerships between Kik and other entertainment industry leaders.
?Adaptly are experts in the entertainment category, and over the years we?ve seen that high engagement yields results,? Mr. O?Neal said. ?Given the quality of the content and the viral nature of the Kik platform we are confident the campaign will drive traffic to the film.?
?The video trailer that is being used for The Giver campaign is fantastic. It is an extended trailer with stunning cinematography and compelling clips of dialog. When viewed on a smartphone, particularly with headphones, the trailer is quite powerful.?
Final Take
Caitlyn Bohannon, editorial assistant for Mobile Marketer, New York

So I don't know about you but I have always wondered why Steadman and Oprah have never had any kids? She does a ton of charity work in impoverished nations, why wouldn't she adopt? Her and Steadman have been together since WWII (I kid), why have they never brought a very lucky child into this world? She is one of the world's richest women– it's certainly not the finances. Well, she cleared that up.
She recently sat down with for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and said the reason she doesn't have any children is because 'her kids would hate her'. I find this very hard to believe but she goes on to say "they would have ended up on the equivalent of the Oprah show talking about me; because something (in my life) would have had to suffer and it would've probably been them."
I respect her for saying this but I certainly do not agree. She has an incredibly beautiful soul and a generous spirit– she would have been a great mom. It's not happening but that's ok, and heads up Oprah, you can always adopt me 🙂

Where Are They Now: 2007 PCA Champion, Ryan Daut
The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure has a rich tradition dating to 2004 when Gus Hansen outlasted 221 players to capture a $455,780 first-place prize aboard a cruise ship. Now, nine years later, the PCA returns to Paradise Island in the Bahamas from Jan. 5 through 14, and continues to attract some of the best players in the world.
In preparation for the 2012 PCA kickoff, we caught up with 2007 PCA Main Event Champion, Ryan Daut, who outlasted a field of 937 to win a $1,535,255 first-place prize. To do so, he overcame a stacked final table that included Isaac Haxton, Robert Ford, Robert Mizrachi, Jonathan Little, and Frank Rusnak.
At the time, the PCA was a part of the World Poker Tour and aired on the Travel Channel; you may recall that final table was played outdoors. Check out the following hand, which features some pretty sick bluffing.
Since his win, Daut has stepped out of the poker spotlight. He still plays but prefers to play online and chooses his live events sparingly. Aside from some small cashes at the World Series of Poker, none for more than $17,000, Daut's only other notable cash came at the 2007 WPT $15,000 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic where he finished sixth for $192,715.
What have you been up to since your PCA win in 2007? Are you still living in New Jersey?
Back in 2009, I stopped traveling the live circuit, so I moved out of my parents' house and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, with a few friends. Then about a year ago, I moved out to Orange County. For the past five months, I've been traveling back and forth to Vancouver so I can continue playing online.
Did you consider going back to the live circuit after Black Friday as opposed to relocating to Vancouver?
I've always been mainly a cash game player and just played a handful of good tournaments on the side, so after Black Friday I first tried to grind it out at the Commerce. After three grueling sessions, I knew I couldn't handle being a live poker player. It's just far too slow, and I'm used to playing a few two-hour sessions a day, which just isn't possible with the commute and wait time to get in games at a casino. So a couple weeks later I deposited some money on Merge and tried to make a living there, but I wasn't making enough money, so in July I decided that after the WSOP I would make the move to Vancouver and continue grinding online.
Do you have a lot of money stuck online as a result of Black Friday?
I have a little over $100,000 on Full Tilt and maybe $1,000 to $2,000 on Absolute. I actually bought another $10,500 on Full Tilt for $4,500 about six weeks ago because I feel confident now that the deal with Groupe Bernard Tapie will go through.
What games and stakes do you prefer to play online?
Over the past three to four years, the online cash games have gotten a lot tougher, so I've been progressively moving down in stakes over the years and actually made the switch to pot-limit Omaha. I would have to put in far too many hours to be a pro playing no-limit hold'em cash since the $2/$4 and higher games online are very difficult now.
On the side I probably play about 15 Sundays a year. I wouldn't be able to handle playing tournaments full time because of the variance and the small edges nowadays, but Sundays are still very soft and I can deal with tournaments one to two days a month. I actually got pretty lucky last year and chopped the Sunday Million and a WCOOP for $208,000 both times, so I will probably just keep grinding mid-stakes cash and playing Sundays on the side in 2012.
How did you enter the PCA in 2007? Did you satellite in, buy in, etc.?
In 2006, I played very few tournaments and almost exclusively cash games. It was my first year as a pro, and I managed to have a $100,000 year. I had a few friends going down to the Bahamas, so I played two super satellites and ended up bubbling them both. I decided that since it was a one-time tourney I would just buy in direct for about 8 percent of my bankroll.
It was only my second live tournament at the time, but I had played probably 50 hours of live cash and thought the tourney would have a good enough structure to favor a cash game player, so I played it and ended up getting pretty lucky there.
How did your life change after the win? Did you make any big purchases with your $1.5 million?
After I won, I started playing a lot more live tournaments, jumped up in stakes from $3/$6 to $10/$20 to $25/$50 and started a backing business, which I still have going today. I'm not really a big purchase kinda guy. I got my parents a pretty nice car a few years ago, but besides that I don't think I spent more than $5,000 on any one thing.
What was it like playing such a major tournament outdoors? Likewise, what was it like playing against a tough final table that included Isaac Haxton, Robert Mizrachi, and Jonathan Little?
At the time, the five younger guys were pretty much all unknowns, but from a limited amount of time playing with them I knew they were all pretty good players. At that point, the only thing I knew about Robert Mizrachi was that he was the Grinder's brother, and on Day 1, one of my buddies was really beating the Grinder's brains in all day, so I wasn't intimidated going into the final table
The only thing I remember about playing outdoors was that the sun was in my eyes and it was pretty windy, so we had to be really careful with the cards all day. I wouldn't want to do it again.
With the event being televised, did you acquire any fame and recognition?
I was definitely recognized a bunch after the tournament aired, but I've never been much of a self promoter, and since I've only been on TV twice for final tables and rarely play live tournaments anymore, I don't get recognized nearly as much as other people who had big results from that time period.
Will you be making a trip to this year's PCA?
I won't. I haven't been back there since 2008. In the past few years, the only tournaments I play have been the LAPC Main Event and a handful of WSOP events. This year I may also consider playing the EPT Madrid Main Event, but other than that I don't have any live tournaments planned in the near future.
What are your thoughts in regards to the future of online poker in the U.S.?
With the recent statement from the DOJ that the Wire Act only applies to sports betting, I suspect that legislation will go through sometime this year and that a casino site owned by someone like Caesar's Palace will open early to mid 2013. I don't think the sites will be huge immediately though, so my hope is that PokerStars is let back into the U.S. market sometime next year

As much as you love the boat you have, it just doesn't have the power you need. Perhaps you've been thinking about buying a new sportfisher lately. You keep dreaming about how much farther you could go and how much faster you could get there if you had a new one. The problem is a new boat will cost you a bundle and the used boat will have some of the same problems. Sherrill's Repower Solutions has an answer to offer you that will breathe new life into the boat you've already fallen in love with for a fraction of what it would cost you to buy another boat.
We sell and install new engines that are far cleaner, far faster and far more fuel-efficient than the old one's you're currently running. Even more valuable than the products we sell is the service we provide. Our installations are not of the drop-it-in, slap-it-together and make-it-run variety. We work closely with all of our clients from start to finish to develop and implement a plan for a complete engine room remodel. We are experts in designing engine room layouts that are more spacious, more functional and more efficient than the manufacturer's original design. We use computer programs to select the best engines and generators to give you optimal performance and economy.
If you want to learn how your boat can go faster, burn less fuel and produce less exhaust and how your engines can be quieter, leak-free and leave more room in your engine compartment, give Sherrill's Repower Solutions a call. We have more experience in superior installations of superior engines than anyone else in the business, and we have an unparalleled reputation for customer satisfaction.

Looking to upgrade my home stereo system. Right now i have a cheap Yamaha HTR-5830. Looking for something to utilize my HD TV and old JBL L112 speakers.
Price/Sound quality is a top priority. Been looking in the $200-$300 price range.
So far I have been looking at:
Onkyo TX-NR509 (I like the internet streaming options)
Pioneer VSX-821-K
Yamaha RX-V371
Denon AVR-1612
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Gilas mauls Indians
PLAYING with a lot of confidence and fluidity, Gilas Pilipinas just couldn't do anything wrong at this point.
The Philippines manhandled India, 99-65, to claim the top seed in Group E heading into the quarterfinals behind a fifth straight win in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship yesterday at the CSWC Dayun in Changsa, China.
Terrence Romeo once again provided the spark the nationals needed, coming off the bench to score a team-high 20 points, to go with three rebounds and four assists to lead the Philippines' balanced attack.
The nationals' primary players did a lot of damage as well, with Andray Blatche finishing with 15 markers, Ranidel De Ocampo adding 13, and Jayson Castro and Calvin Abueva each scoring 12.
With the win, Smart Gilas ended the classification rounds compiling a 4-1 record to top Group E play.
The Philippines will face No. 4 seed Lebanon in the Group F knockout quarterfinals tomorrow.
But more importantly, finishing at the top of its group allowed Gilas to avoid Group F No. 1 China, a powerhouse squad, in both the quarters and semifinals.
Mark Pingris finally had his breakout game of the tournament, scoring 12 points and grabbing four rebounds.
It was actually a total domination by the Philippines as it pounded on the helpless Indians for the most part.
Using its stingy defense and in-sync offensive attack, Gilas had a relatively easy time against India.
Although the game wasn't broken wide open right away in the first half, Smart Gilas was still on control before it finally broke free in the third.
The Philippines outscored India, 23-14, in the third to take a commanding 65-50 advantage heading to the fourth.
The pounding continued in the last 12 minutes, where the cushion of Gilas just got bigger until the final bell.

I was in a similar situation, and it allowed me to be supportive of him, but also maintain perspective.
It will allow you to take things slow and see where it goes without having to worry about the day-to-day.
It will allow him to be a dad without worrying about pleasing a girlfriend all the time.
Just wait to see where it goes - don't second guess it.
The great thing about starting over is that you can decide what you want and will deal with and what is not worth it.
You don't have to decide right now, but I think distance is your friend. Are you exclusive? Maybe you should try just casual dating before jumping into a commitment with a LD person who is dealing with a lot of stuff.
Look how far in the future are you living...
I would have to deal with many years of drama if this went further
Do I want to have to deal with her?????...
I understand being protective but most of the times my rejection of the present because of the possible problems in the future, just keeps me stuck rather than actually protected.
Enjoy the now, veelop and look forward to July 2!!

2010 Office Handling of Duty of Disclosure/Inequitable Conduct Issues [R-08.2012]
Determination of inequitable conduct issues requires an evaluation of the intent of the party involved. While some court decisions have held that intent may be inferred in some circumstances, consideration of the good faith of the party, or lack thereof, is often required. In several court decisions, a high level of proof of intent to mislead the Office was required in order to prove inequitable conduct under 37 CFR 1.56. See In re Harito, 847 F.2d 801, 6 USPQ2d 1930 (Fed. Cir. 1988) and FMC Corp. v.Manitowoc Co., 835 F.2d 1411, 5 USPQ2d 1112 (Fed. Cir. 1987). The Office is not the best forum in which to determine whether there was an "intent to mislead"; such intent is best determined when the trier of facts can observe demeanor of witnesses subjected to cross-examination. A court, with subpoena power, is presently the best forum to consider duty of disclosure issues under the present evidentiary standard for finding an "intent to mislead." The court proceeding involves two participating adverse parties. This is not the case in the Office, since even "protesting" parties are not permitted to participate under the rules. Also, it is the courts and not the Office that are in the best position to fashion an equitable remedy to fit the precise facts in those cases where inequitable conduct is established. Furthermore, inequitable conduct is not set by statute as a criteria for patentability but rather is a judicial application of the doctrine of unclean hands which is appropriate to be handled by the courts rather than by an administrative body. Because of the lack of tools in the Office to deal with this issue and because of its sensitive nature and potential impact on a patent, Office determinations generally will not deter subsequent litigation of the same issue in the courts on appeal or in separate litigation. Office determinations would significantly add to the expense and time involved in obtaining a patent with little or no benefit to the patent owner or any other parties with an interest.
Accordingly, the Office does not investigate and reject original or reissue applications under 37 CFR 1.56. Likewise, the Office will not comment upon duty of disclosure issues which are brought to the attention of the Office in original or reissue applications except to note in the application, in appropriate circumstances, that such issues are no longer considered by the Office during its examination of patent applications. Examination of lack of deceptive intent in reissue applications will continue but without any investigation of inequitable conduct issues. Applicant's statement of lack of deceptive intent normally will be accepted as dispositive except in special circumstances such as an admission or judicial determination of fraud or inequitable conduct. See notice published in the Official Gazette at 1095 O.G. 16 (October 11, 1988). See also MPEP § 2022.05.
Issues of fraud and/or inequitable conduct in an interference proceeding before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (Board) will be considered by the Board if they are raised by way of preliminary motion for judgment under 37 CFR 1.633(a). The motion must be filed during the period set for filing preliminary motions (37 CFR 1.636(a)), or good cause (37 CFR 1.655(b)) must be shown as to why the issues of fraud and/or inequitable conduct were not timely raised during the preliminary motion period. Issues of fraud and/or inequitable conduct will not be considered in any interference in which the times for taking testimony or the times for filing briefs for final hearing have already been set, unless 'good cause' is shown under 37 CFR 1.655(b). An example of good cause would be where fraud or inequitable conduct is first discovered during taking of testimony. See notice published in the Official Gazette at 1133 O.G. 21 (December 10, 1991).

Hayward, California: Big Mike the Muffler ManTowering fiberglass statue in the Paul Bunyan style, made in the 1960s. Spent decades as a car wash symbol holding a scrub brush, then a tire salesman until the business closed. In 2013 he reappeared at a plastics fabrication business.

Muffler Men Bobble Heads
Bruce Kennedy let us know that his two Muffler Men are now available as Bobble Heads. Big Mike (a Bunyan) and Big Don (a Cowboy) are accurately depicted -- and both hold axes. "If someone stops by they are $20.00 plus $1.80 sales tax. 1st class mail is $7.00. Or people can buy them on my website and pay by paypal. "[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 11/21/2013]
Demon Muffler Man - Halloween Big Mike
Hold the presses! Big Mike is getting all dressed up for Halloween.[Bruce Kennedy, 10/17/2013]
Big Mike, who we wrote about a few weeks ago, has been outfitted by his owner in fresh fright month duds -- a black shroud and a custom-sculpted demon skull (his regular head is temporarily stowed). We appreciate how the skull preserves his signature lantern jaw.
Big Mike the Muffler Man
Big Mike, a Bunyan-style Muffler Man, is back on the job. He stood in front of the Tyre Treads warehouse on Hayward's Mission Blvd for decades, and before that at a drive-thru car wash. Tyre Treads went out of business, and Big Mike, exposed just a few feet from the sidewalk, was soon the target of morons with spray paint. Someone knocked a hole in his leg. In October 2011 he vanished; rumors circulated that the Muffler Man was still around, in a warehouse maybe, his fate uncertain.
The waiting ended on March 27, 2013, when Big Mike was wheeled into the parking lot of Bell Plastics -- only ten minutes from his old home -- and once again set on his two feet. It turned out that the Muffler Man had been bought by Bell Plastics' owner Bruce Kennedy, who also paid to have him completely restored.
Bruce told us that he had wanted to put Big Mike in front of his business, playing with Bruce's 21-foot fire truck, but his insurance company nixed the idea. So the fiberglass giant instead stands in Bell Plastics' parking lot, behind a fence that can be locked at night for security. "Everyone is welcome to come visit him and take pictures," said Bruce. Someone even dropped off a fully-wrapped axe with "To Big Mike" written on it, but it was the wrong size.[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 03/28/2013]
Big Mike, mascot of a local muffler shop is gone. he was removed in the last week of October 2011 and sold to a private party "for restoration." reported sightings in the Castro Valley area had a headless Mike on a trailer for several weeks before being moved to an undisclosed location due to too many people going to the trailer to take pictures of the local celebrity.[Brian, 12/05/2011]
Hayward Giant - The Early Days
My dad put up that giant. We owned Morris Car Wash. I remember the day he went up... it was so cool. Years later some kids got on the roof and cut the cables -- poor giant landed right across Mission Blvd. Shut the street down most of the day. We had it towed to a lot for repair... we got to climb all the way into his head, it was dark and spooky, and so much fun.
Glad to hear he's still there. My dad will be so thrilled..[Vickie Morris Mendoza, 08/14/2011]
