Green Juice: 5 Great Recipes to Try
What makes green juice, well, green? Adding kale, spinach, celery or parsley adds that green hue and a multitude of health benefits. Throw in a sweet element to keep the juice palatable, but going too sweet may result in crafting a dessert rather than a drinkable vitamin. Personally, I steer clear of adding parsley and celery (only because I don't love the flavors) and focus on kale and cucumber along with an apple or ripe nectarine. Add chia seeds for a fun crunch and instant snack!

Cucumber is the key to a tasty green juice. Its watery texture and cool refreshing (slightly pepper-y) taste offsets the bitterness of kale and other greens. And it is a better addition than apples because of the lower sugar content. If you are looing to make an all veggie green juice- cucumbers are your best bet.
I prefer smoothies -- same ingredients, just whip them into shape with a power blender and consuming the whole fruit & vegetable, rather than squozing the bujeezus out of them and throwing away all that good fiber. I understand juicing is a good way to give your innards a "break," but I think the smoothie in general has it all over the juice.
I make smoothies at home when I can (lately I've been doing spinach, mango, blueberries or mixed berries, orange juice and almond milk) but on mornings I'm running late I call my deli and order a juice for pick up (lately I've been ordering kale, spinach, apple, parsley, lemon and ginger and it is GOOD). I'm so spoiled, seriously I have the best deli ever on my corner.
I am so with you on this, smoothies are so much better! Why not get the benefit of the whole vegetable? And smoothies have a more full, satisfying mouth feel, in my opinion, so I feel like I'm really eating something.
As for all of this about giving your innards "a break", that just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, our intestines are designed to digest things! It's as silly as suggesting that we need to give our lungs or our heart a break!
I think green juices AND smoothies are really good for us. After drinking two juices a day for a week (along with two regular, sometimes too heavy meals) I noticed a huge difference in the way my skin looked.
Here's my favorite green juice. Two kale leaves, 1/2 a bunch of cilantro, 1 green apple, 4 celery stalks, 1 whole cucumber, 1/4 of a lemon (with peel), 1 inch chunk of ginger, 1 chunk of jalapeno (or more if you like it really hot). I am so in love with this. Somehow it reminds me of bloody mary mix, only green!
This is why I bought a Vitamix!
Love my Vitamix! Jamie Oliver's Green Juice recipe on WellandGoodNYC.com looks good, too: http://bit.ly/15Aag7D
I was given a juicer from a family member and since then I love juicing, I love the creativity of making different juice combinations. I have found my energy levels have increased, my skin is looking better and it's also helping me lose weight. So many great reasons to start juicing, so many great recipes can be found online, the only down side is the cost. For me it seems to more expensive to be healthy than it is to eat unhealthy and that's a shame. But I can't deny it's worth it.
In the apple ginger juice above, can you mask the ginger flavor with any particular vegetable? Or just use less. I gag on ginger juice.
I made this video for my friends that were starting the Gerson Therapy. This video is the exact recipe Dr. Max Gerson prescribed his patients do make during their cancer therapy. It's a great recipe because it is so rigid in terms of the therapy. It's so well researched and refined and tested over fifty years. I just had to make a video about it. Hope you all like it and please feel free to share it.

Pittsburgh teenagers latest lost skiersJanuary 21,2013Three girls found
after leaving trail
KILLINGTON A group of three teenage skiers from the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, were the latest group of skiers who had to be rescued after they deliberately skied out of bounds Sunday afternoon, police said.
Vermont State Police said the skiers, all 17-year-old girls, were at Killington with a school group and skied out of bounds at 1:16 p.m. Sunday from the Juggernaut Trail. The girls later called 911, and their location was determined through GPS, police said.
The Killington Ski Patrol entered the woods and were able to locate the teenagers and get them out unharmed. State police and E-911 were also involved in the rescue.
Police said temperatures Sunday ranged from 45 to zero degrees, with winds gusting to 50 miles an hour. Police said the girls were not prepared for a night in the woods.
Killington has been plagued with dozens of out-of-bounds skiers this winter, requiring numerous rescues, and prompting a review by state police.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

Morgan Freeman Replaces The Late Cronkite's Voice Introducing 'CBS Evening News'
Nearly six months after Walter Cronkite's death, his voice is leaving the "CBS Evening News."
His introduction of anchor Katie Couric was replaced Monday by a voiceover featuring actor Morgan Freeman.
The legendary CBS News anchor recorded the introduction, played at the beginning of most newscasts, when Couric started at CBS in 2006. Cronkite's voice was kept on the air even after his death July 17.
"As comforting as it is to look back on the great career that Walter had, we're looking forward now and we just felt it was the right time to make the move that at some point had to be made," said CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus. "This seemed like the appropriate time since Walter's passing to make the move."
Having Freeman on board gives CBS the flexibility to record different intros when Couric has special reports and is on location, he said.
CBS has replaced Cronkite with a generic voice over the past few months when it wanted to highlight something special.
The change also gives the network more consistency, McManus said.

Approximately 50% of bartenders and cafe workers in the Twin Cities area have a t-shirt with this design on it:
The design is usually on a shirt of some other color besides black, which is about as goth as taking showers. It's kinda like seeing the dude with the Dark Side of the Moon prism on his shirt.
where will I fulfill my not-so-secret passions for queer theory?
I'll no longer live in a city with a feminist bookstore (albeit one that I've yet to visit… but I'll head there before the end of the month). Sad.

London and Ireland3,807 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » London and Ireland
By Kavicandra Swami
From kavicandraswami.info
Thursday night I left Bangkok and flew to London. I was fortunate to have two empty seats next to me so I could sleep nicely on the long flight, which left just after midnight. London Soho is always blissful. There are three classes daily and Krsna Vritti Prabhu goes many times for harinam, so there is no time for Maya.
On Saturday I was talking to Praghosa Prabhu and he said that Sunday was the "open day" for the island temple in Ireland. He invited me to come and somehow he arranged flights. Early Sunday Morning I flew to Dublin where he met me to drive to the Radha Govinda mandira at Inis Rath. He has two very successful Govinda's restaurants in Dublin, and is soon opening a third one. He told of a festival where the prasadam was so popular that one man stood in front of the large queue and shouted the glories of the pakoras to everyone. After all the prasadam was finished they collected more vegetables from a local farmer but they still ran out before everyone could be satisfied. Two ladies who missed out asked if they could go and stand in the tent and simply relish the smell of the prasadam!
In the London airport I met one devotee student from Mauritius. She is studying law in Newcastle and told me that she wanted to become a magistrate and "fulfill Srila Prabhupada's desire" On the way to the airport I was reading Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja book and was impressed by the enthusiasm and positive attitude of the contributors. Hearing how so many devotees are preaching and becoming more and more dedicated to the mission of Srila Prabhupada gives me great inspiration to keep trying to serve the devotees.
The festival in Ireland was very successful. Manu prabhu had arranged things very nicely. The main tent had dancers from Bhaktivedanta Manor and dramas by Parividha Prabhu. His version of the "Boatman" was superb. There was a very big inflated playground that kept the many children very happy. There were several prasadam tables that were busy all day and all the guests were very happy to be in such a pleasing atmosphere . Manu was hoping for 3,000 guests and I think he got more than half of that. Even when I left at 6 pm a large group of guests were arriving. Festivals like this are great ways to give vaisnava sanga to the public. They can come and relax and enjoy the grounds, and at the same time hear kirtan, experience spritual culture and take prasadam. For those who are more interested Srila Prabhupada's books were available. In fact everyone got one small book as they were leaving. And the devotees always relish the chance to be together for preaching and sharing their happiness in Krsna Consciousness

Tonight: The #DailyShow is back! 11/10c.
(via comedycentral)
Larry Wilmore explains the world of voter suppression, in which black folks are the delicious tuna and senior citizens are the innocent dolphins who get pulled up in the net. http://on.cc.com/Wjul9T
The Daily Show Correspondent Strike with Senior Replacement Correspondent Patrick Stewart http://on.cc.com/QfaIvo
Richard the Lionhearted: "Now is the winter of our desk and its contents."
The $16 Muffin and Other Beloved Zombie Lies
I'm not a creature of habit, but I try to be. Every night, I try to do the same thing, to make it easier to get to sleep. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are part of that. I watch them both, which begins the "go to bed" launch sequence. Obviously, this throws me off when there are reruns, but for the most part it works.
So last night I was watching TDS. The guest was Bill O'Reilly, who was hawking some book about the Lincoln assassination that a ghostwriter whipped up for him. Stewart called him out on his ridiculous "Obama's making it too expensive to be rich" argument and O'Reilly went straight to government spending. What about the $16 dollar muffin?
Stewart admitted that he hadn't heard about this $16 muffin thing, which isn't extremely surprising; it was one of those rightwing blogosphere "scandals" with the shelf-life of an unrefrigerated popsicle. Stewart probably missed it because he blinked.
Basically, the story worked like this; an audit from the Inspector General for the Department of Justice found that the Capitol Hilton in Washington overcharged a 2099 Justice Department Legal Training Conference — which O'Reilly described as "a bunch of conferences for pinheads" — for refreshments. The hotel was apparently given a budget and it exceeded it by the slimmest of amounts.
The "$16 muffin" came from a poorly itemized invoice and some quick, back-of-the-envelope accounting — i.e., a bunch of other stuff was listed in a column marked "muffins." "So did DOJ really pay $16 for muffins?" Kevin Drum wrote at the time. "Of course not. In fact, it's obvious that someone quite carefully calculated the amount they were allowed to spend and then gave the hotel a budget. The hotel agreed, but for some reason decided to divide up the charges into just a few categories instead of writing a detailed invoice for every single piece of food they provided."
So how much did this overrun cost the taxpayers? Two cents per attendee — or about ten and a half bucks total. It's an outrage, I tells ya! And never mind that this isn't actually a story about runaway government spending, so much as it is a cautionary tale about trusting the private sector to keep costs down. Hilton screwed this one up, not the DOJ. But since it's only ten bucks, who even cares? I'd be willing to bet that after all is said and done, the hotel will wind up swallowing the overrun, since it's really next to nothing.
Did O'Reilly know any of this? Maybe, maybe not. If we assume he wasn't lying when he said the story came from "a bunch of conferences for pinheads," then we can assume that O'Reilly didn't dig very deeply into the story in the first place. If his grasp of the story was so weak initially, it's possible that he never saw the debunking. This would be especially likely if he relied on his own employer to set the record straight.
This is nothing new for rightwing media. They rely on "scandal of the day" reporting to sustain their outrage, so of course most of these "scandals" turn out to be a big wad of nothing. But when that big wad of nothing is revealed to be a big wad of nothing, rightwing media news consumers never find out. Corrections and retractions are an endangered species in conservative news outlets and, in the wingnut blogosphere, they're almost completely extinct.
Take for example this Daily Caller piece from Matthew Boyle. In it, he claims that court records show the EPA plans to spend $21 billion to hire "230,000 new government workers to process all the extra paperwork." Needless to say, it's all crap. Media Matters has the full debunking, but I think I can encapsulate it thusly: Boyle is either an idiot or a liar.
Basically, he relies on court documents to make his claim. And these documents don't show plans to hire hundreds of thousands of new bureaucrats at a cost of tens of billions. What the documents show is that the EPA ruled out one method of monitoring greenhouse gases because it would require hundreds of thousands of new bureaucrats at a cost of tens of billions. Boyle grabbed some quotes about what the rejected method would cost, then ran with them as if they were the plan. Boyle has the story exactly backwards. He's just about as wrong as it's possible to be. I'm going to go ahead and call Matthew Boyle grossly incompetent, because it's a terrible thing to accuse someone of being a liar. And those are really the only two choices.
But of course this was another "scandal of the day" and everyone on the right was clawing their eyes out over it. Never mind that the EPA doesn't even have $21 billion to throw around — it only has an $8.7 billion budget — this was true, true, true as far as they were concerned.
And, as far as their readers know, it still is. There is no retraction or correction at Boyle's steaming pile of what he pretends is journalism. Follow the link and you get the story as it first appeared. A lot of wingnut bloggers and even organizations like Fox News and National Review linked to that story as a source. Anyone who follows those links will think they've confirmed the story's accuracy, when the story is 100% bass-ackward of the truth. Which goes a long way toward explaining why rightwingers tend to believe a bunch of stuff that everyone else knows isn't true.
Maybe Bill O'Reilly knows the truth about the $16 muffin and he's just using a debunked story to push his agenda, which would make him a liar. Or maybe he's just an incompetent hack who has no idea what the hell he's talking about and relies on rightwing media to get him his "facts." I don't know.
But I do know that it's a terrible thing to call someone a liar.
Stories to Watch: 7/28/11
Google News keeps changing the URLs to their RSS feeds. It's pissing me off. Stop it, Google. Now here's the news…
The vote on Boehner's debt limit plan has been delayed — meaning he hasn't got the votes yet. I'm hearing a lot of people saying they don't doubt it'll get through the House, but none of these people bother to explain how, exactly.
In related news, Michele Bachmann demonstrates why she has a reputation for being not so awfully bright.
And par for the course, House Republicans have no backup plan for a scenario where the Senate fails to pass Boehner's plan — a near certainty, even if he can manage to get his own chamber to clear it.
Apparently, there are two Rick Perrys: one who's for tentherism and one for federalism. They ought to get together and debate each other.
At this point, I'd imagine people on both sides of the aisle wish that Sarah Palin would just shut the hell up.
Rupert's phone-hacking mess just keeps getting worse — and more appalling.
Seeing that you can't please anyone on the debt limit debate,Mittens Romney is avoiding it altogether. That there's your "courageous leadership."
Finally, if you missed The Daily Show last night, go catch up.
News Roundup for 1/25/11
Would it surprise you to learn this guy's a dick?
-Headline of the day-
"Rep. Peter King: '80 Percent Of Mosques In This Country Are Controlled By Radical Imams'."
GOP Rep. Peter King of New York went on the Laura Ingraham Show, reached into his pants, and pulled a completely made-up statistic out of his butt. This being talk radio — and, specifically, Ingraham's radio show — such behavior is encouraged.
Asked how many mosques in America were "infected" with "radical jihad sentiment," Petey answered that "over 80 percent of mosques in this country are controlled by radical Imams."
His source for this claim? I mentioned it already. It was his ass. According to the report, "For his part, King has said he is willing to be called a 'bigot' if that's what it takes to continue his witchhunt into Muslim American communities."
Mission accomplished there, Pete. You're a bigot.
Now, how do you feel about being called an asshole? (Think Progress)
-Too easy…-
Jon Stewart catches Fox's Megyn Kelly claiming that no one on her network ever compares anyone to Nazis.
Bonus fun: go back in time to May of last year, when The Daily Show commentator Lewis Black said that Glenn Beck had "Nazi Tourette's."
Fox is like what the History Channel used to be: 24/7 Nazis. (Comedy Central)
-Bonus HotD-
"Cantor invites Pelosi to sit together at SOTU."
Nancy said no, she already has a date to the big congress prom with another nice Republican fella. He bought her a corsage and everything.
Nancy Pelosi; finally one of the popular girls. (MSNBC)

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The thing you miss is that the sale of motorcycles and automobiles is basically irrelevant here. Both cars and motorbikes are extensions of bicycles and wagons (with a motor strapped on). World of Warcraft has battle wagons of sorts. I don't see any evidence of bicycles. So we're going to assume that no one thought of putting motors on any of the seige vehicles/wagons, yet we've just decided to jump that and put motors on two wheeled vehicles? That basically doesn't make any sense. Not that it makes sense that there are flying machines before motorized land vehicles either, but whatever.

"Not that it makes sense that there are flying machines before motorized land vehicles either"
Walk outside of IF. See the steam-powered tanks there. They qualify as "motorized land vehicles", lol.
onetrueping said...
Indeed, as mentioned, motorized ground vehicles are present. Both as tanks, and "walkers" or whatever you want to call them: mechanostriders, Harvest Golems, and the like. Unlike the stone golems, the Harvest Golems are in fact mechanical in nature. The reason why motorized vehicles aren't that widespread, however, is that small engines are considered far too dangerous by most people, due to their tendency to... explode. The large steam boilers that drive the tanks and the tram are obvious exceptions. Size does equal durability, after all, though you do trade efficiency for it.
And if you want to use that as an excuse for people not using bikes, remember this: you're over level 70. People of equal skill have taken down the most fearsome threats to the survival of all living species. You are far removed from the experiences of the humble farmer. What do YOU have to fear from a small, potentially highly explosive device nestled firmly in your nethers? It's nowhere near as bad as being beaten by the hammer of Ragnaros, and THAT most people shrug off these days!

Second-year Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler did a great job guarding Kobe Bryant on Monday night, forcing the superstar to shoot just 7-22 from the field.
Before games, Jimmy Butler is usually the most accessible player on the Bulls roster. While most of the guys are hiding out of sight, Butler is usually ready to talk to reporters whenever he's asked. But Monday night was different.

Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge: X is for … Signatures
After thinking about what to do for the letter X for weeks, I still hadn't come up with anything. So the fact that this post has even happened is a tribute to Wendy who commented on the Gould Genealogy Facebook page for the Family History Through the Alphabet, the letter X, and gave me the idea for this post.
X is for … Signatures
Actually technically this post is about the lack of signature, as in those that were illiterate and used X for a signature (ie. X is the mark of _________ ) was the actual wording that was used on certificates.After getting the idea, it made me re-look at all the certificates I have to see how many signed, and how many put 'X' as their mark. Interestingly most of the certificates I have show that they were literate, or at least enough to sign their own signature. However amongst them, there are a some that do have X as their mark and I must say I was surprised at who.
So here's just a few of the examples of signatures using the letter X from my collection:
So there's a few of my X for signatures. Do you have many X signatures in your collection of records?

Customer comments about Montego Chaise Cushion:
I bought these chaise cushions to match some new chaise lounges that I bought. I live by the beach in Malibu, California, and over the years I have had so many different cushions for my lawn furniture, and because of the climate they never have lasted more than 6 months without falling apart, fading, or otherwise self destructing. But 18 months ago I bought some EMU steel outdoor furniture from Room and Board along with some of these Sumbrella cushions. I am lazy when it comes to cushions, so they are on my outdoor furniture continuously with no break. So they are subjected to sun, rain, sprinklers every day, wind 365 days a year. So I bought these new cushions based on the performance of the ones I bought 18 months ago. As hard as it may be to believe, the old cushions on my chairs look exactly the same as the new ones I just got for the chaise lounges! No fade, no wear, no tears, no fraying. Just amazing quality, and stellar service as always from Room and Board!

That's great news, thanks! I've never been too happy with carrying around extra gear, so it'll be awesome to be able to heal and hurt without having to change my clothes. *grin*
And yeah, dwarven shamans are going to rock like crazy. Dwarves are pretty much my favorite of the standard fantasy races, so it'll be great to be a short, stout little ball of lightning and fire and pain and beer.

Reviews - Solberge Hall Hotel
|Self Classified Country House Hotel
|Ratings explained
The hotel bedrooms, all en-suite, are well equipped, spacious and airy with bright decor, flat screen freeview TV, complimentary tea, coffee and water. While all vary in shape and size each maintain the same high standards of comfort you expect from a country house retreat, most having stunning views of the wonderful Yorkshire countryside.
Relax in the friendly atmosphere of the intimate and sophisticated restaurant, it is a culinary delight offering traditional English menu. Afterwards enjoy coffee in the lounge while admiring the views of the magnificent grounds. During the day treat yourself to a typical Yorkshire cream tea in the elegant ambience of the drawing room while enjoying the view through the large picture windows.
The Yorkshire Dales is home to a varied collection of landscapes including a national park, from heather-topped moors to colourful hay-meadows. There are limestone cliffs and crags, waterfalls and underground labyrinths of potholes and caves and beautiful Abbeys and Churches. Traditional stone-built villages are set amongst rolling farmland with stone barns and drystone walls. Solberge Hall is perfectly situated for visiting Yorkshire's Coasts, Moors and Dales including Captain Cook, Herriot and Heartbeat Country.
The Medieval City of York which is just a drive away, hosts a wealth of arts, crafts, historic sights and museums for all ages. There is the world famous York Minster, the award winning Jorvik Viking Centre or simply enjoy the bustling old city streets. Historic houses including Castle Howard & Harewood House are within easy driving distance. Goathland is a village situated in the North Yorkshire Moors, north a pretty village famous as Aidensfield, the 1960's setting for the popular ITV police series Heartbeat. The four market towns of Helmsley, Kirbymoorside, Malton and Pickering, are all steeped in tradition, each with its own unique character that has changed little for generations. The coastal resorts of Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and Filey also reflect the character and history are all worthy of a visit.

Level 2 data
Project Tycho™ level 2 data include data counts that have been filtered from the raw data to render standardized data that can be used immediately for analysis. All level 2 data have been reported in a common format and have not been transformed into a standard format by us, except for smallpox records that included repeated counts for the same location and week, but sometimes with different numbers. These duplicate smallpox records have been averaged into one count for each location and week. Level 2 data include counts for a wide variety of diseases and locations for varying time periods. Because not all data have been reported in a standardized format, level 2 data may be missing for certain diseases, locations, or years. We will continue to transform non-standard counts in a common format and will make these available in future versions of these data. Click here to read more about different types of counts and data standardization methods. Data availability is also dependent on historical reporting priorities and not all diseases were reported by all locations every year.
Version 1.0.0
The current version (1.0.0) includes counts at the city and state level for 47 contagious diseases for the entire 1888-2013 time period. The available years vary across locations and diseases. Version 1.0.0 includes counts for cases or deaths reported, depending on the time period and disease.

Roster Moves
Lots of moves made by the Phantoms this week with
more shuttling of players back and forth from
Marc-Andre Bourdon and Erik Gustafsson have returned
to the Phantoms after extended stays with the
Flyers following Philadelphia's acquisition of
two veteran defensemen. Bourdon's first ever NHL
call-up in November was initially expected to
be short-lived but ended up lasting for three
months over 39 games in which he scored his first
two NHL goals. Gustafsson had just scored his
first career NHL goal on a great drive to the
slot last Thursday. Congrats on the success at
hockey's top level to both!
Eric Wellwood has again been recalled by the Flyers.
He scored his first NHL goal last Saturday against
Rob Bordson has been signed to a standard player
contract from the Trenton Titans of the ECHL.
Bordson played in 61 games with the Phantoms last
year and scored seven goals. The hard-working
and versatile forward led the Titans with 17 goals
at the time of his callup. He also played in eight
games with Rochester on a professional tryout
contract in December.
The Phantoms wish good luck to forward Jon Kalinski
who was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning organization
on Saturday in exchange for Lightning defenseman
and former Adirondack Red Wing Pavel Kubina. Kalinski
joins the Norfolk Admirals and may play against
his former teammates on March 9 when Norfolk travels
to Glens Falls.

Week in Review
Friday, February 17 (Adirondack 5
- Manchester 1)
The Phantoms returned home for their lone game
in Glens Falls in a seven game stretch and again
showed their home-ice success and dominance. Brandon
Manning recorded a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick"
with a fight, goal and assist in the same game.
Matt Ford scored a pair of goals. And Shane Harper
and Tye McGinn also both lit the lamp.
Cullen Eddy and Oliver Lauridsen also both engaged
in fights with the Monarchs and Jason Bacashihua
turned in a fine performance with 30 saves for
the win.
Saturday, February 18 (Bridgeport
3 - Adirondack 2)
The Phantoms raced out to a first period 2-0 lead
on goals by Harry Zolnierczyk and Shane Harper.
But the hottest team in the AHL was able to rebound
in the second and third periods to post the come-from-behind
David Ullstrom scored the tying goal late in the
second and the winner early in the third. Both
goals came on one-time power play slapshots from
the right circle.
Jason Bacashihua played well but was tagged with
the loss.
Bridgeport's success story in 2012 has included
a 15-1-1 record since January 1.
Sunday, February 19 (Adirondack 5
- Manchester 2)
The Phantoms continued their weekend success of
the Monarchs with another five goal outburst.
Matt Ford scored two goals for the second time
on the weekend and Shane Harper scored in his
third consecutive game. Tyler Brown and Tye McGinn
also scored. Jason Akeson set a Phantoms season-high
with four assists in the game.
Michael Leighton recorded the win and Adirondack
finished the season series with a 3-1 advantage
over the Los Angeles Kings affiliate.
Phantoms Breakdown
-- Michael Leighton is sixth in the league in
total minutes (2027) and fourth in saves (942).
His 30 career shutouts are 6th all-time in AHL

Upcoming Opponents
Rochester Americans (Buffalo Sabres)
The Phantoms are unbeaten in regulation against
the Western Conference this year (4-0-2) and put
the mark on the line when they travel to Rochester
to open their three-in-three weekend on Friday
The Americans are in the thick of the Western
Conference playoff race currently sitting in ninth
place, just two points back of San Antonio for
the last playoff spot. Ironically, the San Antonio
team is comprised of the Florida Panthers prospects
who were playing in Rochester the year before.
The Amerks are 24-21-9 and are led by rookie Phil
Varone (8-26-34) and area talent Derek Whitmore
(22-11-33) who posted a four goal game earlier
in the year.
Adirondack is 2-0 against Rochester this year
including a win in western New York on October
23 and a victory at Glens Falls in early December
on an overtime winner by Ben Holmstrom.
Binghamton Senators (Ottawa Senators)
The Phantoms look to break the frustrating Mike
McKenna curse still in search of their first win
versus the last place Binghamton Senators.
The defending Calder Cup Champions have hardly
played like champions this season at 21-29-3.
McKenna has recorded almost half of his 13 total
wins in games against the Phantoms where he always
seems to excel.
Former New York Islander and NHL veteran Mark
Parrish is the team's captain. Rob Klinkhammer
has streaked to the team's scoring lead with 13
goals and 38 points. He recorded a hat trick at
the Glens Falls Civic Center in a Senators victory
there in late December.
Pat Cannone from Miami (Ohio) is the team's top
rookie with 12 goals and 29 points.
Syracuse Crunch (Anaheim Ducks) -
The Phantoms return from their four-game road
trip with a Sunday afternoon encounter against
the Crunch. Adirondack is 3-2 against Syracuse
this year.
Adirondack pulled out an exciting 4-3 victory
in their last matchup with Syracuse on December
17 led by a penalty-shot goal by Holmstrom early
in the third that held up as the game-winner.
Jason Bacashihua had a spectacular 43 save effort
for the win.
The Crunch are 21-23-8 for 50 points and are one
point behind Adirondack in the Eastern Conference
Former Phantom Pat Maroon leads the team and is
fifth in the league with 24 goals.
First rounder Kyle Palmieri has been outstanding
in his limited time with the Crunch when he hasn't
been up with Anaheim. He has racked up 46 points
in only 34 games played as well as 30 goals.
Trent Yawney has taken over mid-season as head
coach of the team while Mark Holick has been moved
to an Associate Head Coach position. Yawney is
a former head coach of the Norfolk Admirals (2000-05)
where he had Michael Leighton as one of his players.
He was also head coach of the Chicago Blackhwaks
for two years (2005-07) and then assistant coach
with the San Jose Sharks.

Last Thursday, I moderated a panel called "The Business Lessons in Hip-Hop." The panelists were:
- Mahbod Moghadam, Founder of Rap Genius
- Shawn Setaro, Editor-in-Chief of Rap Genius
- Corentin Villemeur, New Media Director for G-Unit Records & General Manager of Thisis50.com
- James Lopez, Co-Founder of The Phat Startup
- Anthony Frasier, Co-Founder of The Phat Startup & Founder of TheKoalition.com
The event was dope as hell. We got a huge turnout, with 85+ people, including ~25 people from outside of Columbia, including Mick Boogie, the famous mixtape DJ. All the panelists previously knew each other, and I knew all of them personally as well (James and Shawn in-person, Mahbod and Anthony from the Internet, and Corentin from a Rap Genius party the week before), so there was really good chemistry between everyone involved.
The theme of the night was the business and life lessons found in rap music, and each panelist brought something different to the discussion. James and Anthony talked about how coming from bad circumstances themselves, they could relate to rappers' stories. James specifically quoted a Kanye line about how he didn't play the cards he was dealt, instead he changed them. Mahbod was really funny and entertaining, and he did give some good advice, including the tip not to deal drugs if you go to an Ivy League school. Shawn, a huge fan of Jay-Z, brought a really intellectual standpoint to the table. Corentin, as somebody who's in constant contact with 50 Cent, was able to give us an insight about how that man works and thinks.
What stood out to me the most that night was something Shawn said. He said there were two kinds of really successful people: the Diddys and the Jay-Zs. Diddy was someone who became successful purely because of how hard he worked. He had been grinding his ass off since he was young, and you're either born that way or you're not. But then you have the Jay-Zs, the people who are able to become successful because they take the time to really evaluate and understand every situation they're in. This is how Jay-Z, in the cultural eye, has really never made a business mistake. He's smart about every decision he makes. This is something that anyone can aspire to become. This hit home hard, because I wasn't really raised with a work ethic inbred into me, so I had to acquire one. Some of my most successful friends have been hard workers since day one, and props to them, but either approach ultimately works.
Corentin also said something he personally heard from 50 cent, which was "who you know gets you there, what you know keeps you there." And because the game has changed so much, and you can get anyone's email within a couple hours nowadays, it's not really a problem of knowing people anymore. It's a problem of actually being able to offer something of value to them.
But everyone took away different things from the panel. If you're interested more in the topic, I would check out The Phat Startup—this is what they're all about, teaching entrepreneurship through hip-hop. You can also check out the event photo album here. Thanks to CORE (Columbia Organization of Rising Entrepreneurs) and CUSH (Columbia University Society of Hip-Hop) for co-sponsoring the event. And thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the event!

Statewide freight forums, designed to obtain significant input into the plan from freight stakeholders, will be held Jan. 29 through Feb. 7.
In developing the plan, the state DOT says it will work with freight partners to better understand the cost to the Missouri economy if the state's freight network stagnates or deteriorates
"It will describe Missouri's existing freight transportation system and provide Missouri DOT with the ability to articulate what freight projects would be most helpful to the state should additional funds be made available in the future," the state DOT says.
The plan follows up on information gained in 2013 during the first phase of developing a long-range transportation plan.
"The effort to develop the plan will involve a series of stakeholder interviews, freight forums and business forums, each aimed at reaching key audiences involved in Missouri's freight system," the state DOT says. "Freight and industry stakeholders, such as logistics directors, shipping managers and economic development professionals are invited to the freight forums to discuss issues, needs, concerns and opportunities in the state."
The Missouri DOT anticipates the draft freight plan to be prepared for review by June 2014, with a final report in September 2014.

There are rumors floating around that new WWE diva Eva Marie has posed nude before, and that has caused thousands of wrestling fans to scour the internet in search of such naked images. However, it turns out that the confusion stems from the fact that Playboy model Eva Hilovski uses the same name on occasions.
Independent wrestler Reby Sky, who recently got married to former WWE star Matt Hardy, is currently doing another photo shoot for Playboy. Her first nude pictorial for the magazine was back in 2007.
Aside from working as a trainer, Nick Dinsmore is also making appearances for NXT as well. At a live event in Tampa this week, the former WWE star showed up in the ring to save Santa Claus and his diva helpers from an attack by Aiden English.
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.

10 things only long-haired people will understand
1. You have two morning-alarm settings: the wash-your-hair alarm and the dry-shampoo alarm. And they're about two hours apart.
3. Birthday candles (and open flames in general) terrify you. If your hair doesn't catch on fire this year, consider your wish granted.
4. Even the ends of your hair have been around longer than your current boyfriend. And you'd never waste any of those ends on a breakup cut.
5. On windy days, your hair could be classified as a weapon. Not to mention your sticky lip gloss's worst enemy.
6. You've gotten your hair stuck in doors, fans (we feel you, Bey), and Pilates reformer machines. Which leads us to our next point...
8. You're willing to give up a spin class reservation (or a steamy hookup) on the day of a great salon blowout. Not tonight, honey, these glossy waves cost me $50.
9. Drying your own hair makes your arms sore. Yep, definitely gonna feel that in my triceps tomorrow.

Just in case you've forgotten about this 800-horsepower blue devil, You Tube's Marchettino has gone ahead and released a video of the incomparable Gumpert Apollo doing what it does best in its natural habitat: hitting up the Monza circuit in Italy for a couple of flying laps.
According to Marchettino, this particular Apollo is the only one of its kind in Italy, a bit surprising considering that the country is well known for having some of the fastest and most powerful machines on the planet. Be that as it may, watching the Apollo run roughshod over Monza reminded us just how fast and powerful this German wonder car really is.
Be advised that the 'standard' – looser words have never been spoken - Gumpert Apollo is powered by an Audi-sourced 4.2-liter bi-turbo V8 engine that produces 650 horsepower with the Sport trim checking out at 700 horsepower.
This particular model, though, has been modified to produce a staggering 800 horsepower and as the video clearly shows you, all that power coming out from the Apollo is definitely a sight to behold.
