The suit names defendants as the city of Powell, Police Chief Tim Feathers and a dozen Powell police officers.
Attorneys representing the city of Powell had not responded to messages left by the Tribune as of press time Monday.
Wachsmuth is seeking damages up to $1 million, said Jeffrey Gosman, the Casper lawyer who is representing her. The suit doesn't specify a dollar amount, but that is the maximum she could receive.
According to the complaint, the raid resulted in the recovery of two marijuana plants, a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and prescription medication belonging to the plaintiff's husband, Bret Wachsmuth, under a valid prescription.
An informant who had been arrested for possession of methamphetamine told police that Tricia Wachsmuth and her husband, Bret Wachsmuth, had marijuana plants in the basement of their home.
An affidavit of probable cause filed in circuit court on Feb. 25, 2009, states that the informant also told officers that Bret Wachsmuth sometimes carried a small pistol and kept several guns in the house, including loaded handguns.
The informant told Bret Wachsmuth that he was going to turn him into the police, according to the affidavit.
Neither Bret nor Tricia Wachsmuth had prior criminal or violent histories, according to the suit.
Last August, Tricia Wachsmuth was offered a deferred prosecution for misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Under the conditional guilty plea, the charge was dismissed upon her completion of six months of probation and payment of $180.
Also in August, Bret Wachsmuth reached a plea agreement where he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of cultivating marijuana. He served six months probation and paid $480, according to court records.
The complaint details the night of Feb. 24, 2009, when Wachsmuth said a SWAT team stormed her East North Street home.
Surveillance of the home was conducted earlier that day, and a child was believed to be on the premises, according to the suit.
A dozen officers, the SWAT team, were assembled and planned to storm the house in two different teams while a third team deployed a noise flash distraction or "flashbang" device, according to the complaint.
In a statement recounting her experience, Wachsmuth said she was home alone watching television in her living room around 9:15 p.m. that night. Her dog started acting in an unusual manner, and Wachsmuth thought she saw someone outside.
"When I looked closer, there was suddenly a very loud explosion in my house. My front door was busted open, and I smelled smoke inside the house. Men carrying machine guns came running into my home," she said.
The complaint alleges that Wachsmuth was not allowed a reasonable period of time to open the door in response.
While officers entered the front door, the complaint states that two other policemen broke a bedroom window and deployed a flashbang device, which started a fire on a mattress, destroying it, and causing other damage.
Officers asked Wachsmuth several times whether anyone else was in the home, and she said she was home alone. They held her at gunpoint and searched the main floor, and she did not resist, according to the complaint.
She was then ordered to lead the officers into the basement, and they followed her with weapons pointed at her back, using her as a shield, the complaint alleges.
"My hands were still in the air, and he was still holding his machine gun on me," Wachsmuth states. "All the other officers were in a line facing me, standing next to the basement door as I was being followed to the basement door by the officer with the machine gun."
In her statement, she recounts fearing for her life and wondering, "Why am I going down first? Why are they behind me?"
She says that, at one time, she stopped and was ordered to "Get going," by an officer as he grabbed her shoulder and pushed her forward down the stairs.
After they reached the basement, Wachsmuth was handcuffed and led back upstairs.
In their search, officers found one semi-automatic pistol in the hallway, two loaded revolvers in the master bedroom and one loaded semi-automatic pistol in another bedroom. In the basement, they found two marijuana plats, several fluorescent lights that were not being used, numerous grow logs, marijuana-growing guidebooks, seeds and other drug paraphernalia, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The complaint alleges that the Wachsmuths' guns were damaged by police officers, and Wachsmuth seeks reimbursement.
After her arrest, Wachsmuth claims that, as she was looking at her home from the police car, officers were taking pictures. "One officer was posing for the camera by standing on one leg, holding his hands in the air with his fingers making the 'rock and roll' sign," Wachsmuth states.
"The actions of the defendants in executing a misdemeanor search warrant with a SWAT team, where neither suspect had a prior criminal history or history of violence, deployment of a flashbang device, violation of the knock and announce rules, and use of the plaintiff as a human shield were outrageous …" the complaint states.Gosman, Wachsmuth's attorney, said the complaint isn't about a dollar figure as much as it is about holding the police force accountable for their actions. Gosman added he has heard that the Powell Police Department has "some cowboys who are having too much fun and need to be reined in."

text: This bride must have been desperate to get married. Or maybe she had no idea that her groom was going to turn the ceremony in to a battle scene (not likely). It included Batman, Iron Man, WWE legend Jimmy Hart, ninjas, knights in armor, and angry bellhops (WTF???). Why can't any of the weddings I go to be this entertaining?

I've spent some time working up an idea for how I want this MoFo to kick off. First and foremost, after some massive painful digestive experience with the boyfriend's fresh juices, I will probably not be including too many of them for my own consumption, but he LOVES them, so we'll probably be juicing and I will post recipes and photos. I can taste them and have about 1/2 of a cup of juice without any detrimental side effects, so that might be the extent of my firsthand knowledge of juice.
However, after watching "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" with the boyfriend, I am increasingly fond of the idea of doing a cleanse. My biggest problems in a dietary sense are going overboard on carbs, and all of the accessories that come with carbs. Case in point, pasta's fine, but pasta with olive oil and garlic is even better. Right? Well, I think we're going to need a breather on that one. Also, I drink soda. Diet soda. And way too much of it. (Although it can be argued that any amount is Too Much.)
Another problem presented by October (and the rest of the year) is that there are big holidays each month, and it's hard to relegate celebratory eating to exclusively those holidays. There are parties that are conveniently timed, but that spreads out the opportunities to be naughty naughty. I don't care what time of year it is, if I'm at a party that has a bowl of hummus and some grape tomatoes, both will be gone in minutes. No questions.
October is my birthday month, so I have built in a two-day "You Can Go Off Track" section to let things stay happy. Neither of those days is Halloween, so I will have to be super good on Halloween itself. And whatever parties happen prior to Halloween (stupid weekday holidays) will be spent candy-free and sober.
This will be a month of extreme willpower. I have an emotional attachment to food, and I'm trying to break that. I want to eat to live, not live to eat... you know the drill, right?
I also think that having a limited diet doesn't mean having a boring one. Since I am currently unemployed, I have more than enough time to be creative with the fresh foods I will be eating, and I will not be giving up satisfaction of a good meal in order to achieve health, because I firmly believe that I don't have to.
I was at a point where I had lost 103 pounds. I have gained some of that back over a stressful summer where I had just lost my job and was going through a period of mild panic, and perhaps depression about the uncertainty in my life. I am desperate to reintroduce structure into my life, and Vegan MoFo will be a fantastic forum for me to be publicly accountable for what I consume.
Tomorrow, for my first MoFo post, I will introduce what I plan to do over the next 31 days, and you will begin to see what I eat when I am getting serious about my health again. I will be honest about my emotions and struggles, and I will do my best to stick with a month of re-learning how to eat.
It's going to be a fantastic October.

Although we here at Hidden Hill are pretty much convinced we invented kites - and we are getting ready to prove it again with our March 3oth Opening Weekend Kite Flying Extravaganza - that always pesky Wikipedia indicates that silk kites were being flown in China about 2,800 years ago. Wikipedia also claims two famous Chinese philosophers, Mozi and Lu Ban, really got the whole kite idea off the ground about 549 BC with the introduction of the paper kites, which were often used as rescue signals.
That insatiable tourist Marco Polo bought kites back to Europe toward the end of the 13th Century, Ben Franklin went airborne here in the USA about 1750, and Hidden Hill kicked in a few years later.
But who wants to quibble with history. What matters is Hidden Hill opens for its 13th season on Friday, March 29th, we're flying kites on Saturday the 30th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and that we've got literally hundreds of new plants, shrubs and trees to offer you. We'll send more on that later. For now, just mark the kite-flying calendar, bring the kids and we'll provide the rest - including great and windy weather.
We can't wait to see you again.
Bob and Janet Hill & the Hidden Hill Gang.
Spring blessings to all on the Hill! My small gift of spring to you is a daily post on Children's Nature Guide Facebook Fan Page between now and March 31st. and a mention in Ari's Diary on ChildrensNatureGuide.com. I have such fond recollections of my last Fly A Kite day on the hill!

Five Keys To A Minnesota Vikings Upset
The Minnesota Vikings have never lost at Lambeau Field in the playoffs. It looks to beat the Green Bay Packers for the second consecutive week. There are five key things that the Vikings need to do in order to pull off the upset.
Missed Opportunities Cost Minnesota Vikings At Green Bay Packers
The Minnesota Vikings had a chance to stay two games behind the Chicago Bears and move into a tie with the Green Bay Packers with a win Sunday at Lambeau Field. However, two red zone interceptions by Christian Ponder kept the Vikings from pulling off the upset. Adrian Peterson had another outstanding game with over 200 rushing yards.
Minnesota Vikings Are In The Thick Of The Division Title Hunt
The Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers form the NFL's best division. The Bears sit atop the standings, but have issues with its offense. The Packers won the division last season, but the defense remains its weak link. The Vikings and Adrian Peterson are one of the best stories in the league, but do they have enough to make the playoffs. The Lions remain in the hunt, but can they get hot and catch the teams ahead of them.

The jilted Brit bluffed his way through another awkward post-split interview yesterday, managing to avoid any direct questions about Kristen's affair during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
"Last time I met you, you were homeless and living out of a suitcase," said the host.
"I still am," quipped Rob. "I rented this archway, and I just live behind it … in one of those big trash cans."
The nervous 26-year-old went on to recall the time he got caught up in the middle of a gay sex raid while out riding his bicycle.
"I used to turn up at this parking lot looking at everyone like, 'Why are all these guys sitting around in their cars all the time?'" said Rob.
"And I'm going there every day kinda thinking nothing of it, coming out in my little Lycra pants, and one day there was a big raid."
It turns out Rob was unknowingly riding his bike through a spot used for "dogging" a British slang term for having sex in public.
In other R-Pattz news, Perez Hilton reports that it might not be the end for the actor and his cheating girlfriend. Apparently he's ready to hear what Kristen has to say about her affair with director Rupert Sanders, and he's even considering taking her back.
"They are talking," a source tells Perez. "Rob doesn't hate her and he's not mad. He just doesn't get why she did it. He loves her and thinks about her constantly."

This week, I'm delivering a speech to a local organization that awards college scholarships to young women . I'm the keynote speaker for the awards ceremony and then will shake the hands of eight deserving seniors. The idea , of course, is to give the young women an inspirational send-off, imparting the hard-won wisdom of my career. Here's my first piece of advice: Don't Wind Up in a Closet.
That aside, it has gotten me thinking about how I ended up doing what I ended up doing: writing, talking and telling stories. Despite the title of my talk, My Non-linear Career, there actually is a thread in what I like to call my "broad-ranging media career," from my extracurricular activities in grade school to my college course selection to the jobs I talked myself into as a twenty-something (advertising and film production.) Along the way, there were some detours, but even my detours ended up being great material, so I don't regret the years I spent ski-bumming or being a stay-at-home mom. In a world where young people are increasing under pressure to make career-minded choices at earlier ages ( See Frank Bruni's piece from the New York Times) , I'm happy to have had the opportunity to get off the beaten path and then get back on. In terms of my career path, every stop along the way has counted.
Maybe I did end up in the right place after all.
Is there a thread in your career/personal choices? Does your Do the Work project involve learning new skills or reinvigorating an old interest? When you think about where you've been, how did you get here?
Embracing my Chaos, Lian

Cloud Forensics using EBS Boot VolumesBy George Reese
January 3, 2010
In December, Amazon introduced a new feature for their cloud: EBS Boot Volumes. An EBS boot volume essentially provides the ability to boot from a virtual SAN. This new approach to booting virtual machines offers up a wealth of new capabilities in the Amazon Cloud. Among the security uses of EBS volumes I find most intriguing, however, is the use of EBS volumes in cloud-based forensics.

On face vale, the Harley Blackline should be a great addition to the Harley range, using the proven big twin powertrain and Softail chassis and dressing is up according to the latest 'blacked-out', pared down bobber fashion. Trouble is, style has won over substance. Though it looks good, the riding position is agonizingly extreme and unadjustable – so much so ...

The DN-01 is hard to categorise - Is it a cruiser? Is it a scooter? Whatever it is, it's a very easy to ride, comfortable, capable and enjoyable motorcycle, let down by a very high price and too much hype. If money is no object, all you want is an attention-grabbing commuter or Sunday cruiser, and you wonder why all ...
1462cc, 67bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 12
Although the Suzuki VL1500 Intruder shares a basic engine design with the Suzuki VL1400 Intruder, the two bikes have very different chassis. The Suzuki VL1500 Intruder is long, low and wide, very similar to Kawasaki's Vulcan 1500 in terms of power, overall feel and ride quality. The bottom line is this however; can you ride a bike with `Intruder' written ...
1130cc, 120bhp, 144mph, Insurance group 17
'Designed for Europe' Harley-Davidson Street Rod is a sports version of the Harley-Davidson V-Rod. So while the engine remains the same as its cruiser cousin, the Harley-Davidson Street Rod's chassis has been modified to turn it into a handler. It works, too, delivering a much more invigorating ride – still no Suzuki GSX-R1000, not by a long chalk.
18cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
If you're wondering about the Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob's name, it comes from the 'bobber' fashion in the custom world inspired by the post-WWII movement which saw ex-military Harleys chopped down with low seats, fat tyres and Ape hanger bars. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, based on the ubiquitous Super Glide, takes this minimalism to the limit with a low seat, classic Fat ...
1584cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Another Harley staple aimed at riders with traditional tastes who are looking for a machine that's both comfortable and easy to handle. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider combines a low seat, mid-mounted foot controls and pull back bars for easy comfort. Like all 2007 Hogs it also benefits from the new 1558 engine, too.
1337cc, 60bhp, 112mph, Insurance group 15
The Harley-Davidson Bad Boy has possibly the most embarrassing name in motorcycling history applied to one of the weirdest Harley-Davidson combinations. On face value it had a lot going for it: all black image, cool Springer forks, flat bars and tons of attitude. In reality the Harley-Davidson Bad Boy is a bit naff, and neither handled, was comfortable or was particularly ...
1449cc, 67bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard has classic Harley looks and technology for the custom fan who wants the authentic American experience. The Softail family has concealed rear suspension for a hard-core 'hardtail' look. The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard was discontinued for 2007. Compared to later motorcycles, the main differences are that it hasn't got the latest air cooled engine and other minor refinements.
1584cc, 65bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
Definitive Harley. If retro-style cruising is your thing, the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy has all the right bits in the right places, from the big Milwaukee V-twin motor to the characteristic disc wheels and even the badge on the tank. Not the most versatile or comfortable of Hogs, but the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy is almost certainly the best looking.
1170cc, 61bhp, 105mph, Insurance group 13
The BMW R1200C is a Harley-Davidson rival with German engineering. Like most cruisers, it sells on looks – this one had a part in a Bond movie too. Power is pretty modest considering the 1200cc engine but it's enough. Dynamically it's better than many cruisers thanks to quality engineering and light(ish) weight.

Severe weather is a year-round threat in central Georgia.
Are you ready to survive a severe weather disaster? Do you know how to protect yourself in the aftermath? Hundreds made sure Saturday that they are now able to answer 'Yes'.
Hundreds attended WGXA's Severe Weather Preparedness Expo Saturday at the Macon Centreplex.
Attendees heard riveting true stories of survival, the science behind extreme weather, tips on how to avoid fraud and more. Vendor booths were on site for shopping and demonstrations. Those in attendance were also able to talk to local, state and federal emergency preparedness organizations about safety and emergency response.
The expo featured key-note speakers. CNN Meteorologist and author of 'Extreme Weather' Bonnie Schneider and famed Storm Chaser Warren Faidley both addressed the crowd.
The entire WGXA Weather Team was on hand to meet and greet and discuss preparing for severe weather and to sign autographs for fans.
According to Chief Meteorologist Jeff Cox, there are already plans in the works for next year's Severe Weather Preparedness Expo.
WGXA would like to thank everyone who joined us for this educational experience.

A photographer's best friend turns 13
Eleven years ago today, someone tied a Jack Russell Terrier to a light pole in the parking lot of the San Diego County shelter, and left him there in the middle of the night. The fine folk at Jack Russell Rescue of Southern California didn't know what to call him. Since their last minute appointment saved the two year old dog from the needle, they named him Lucky.
After completing a background check, I was allowed to adopt him. Since then, he's accompanied me to Danish Days in Solvang, the Big Apple, the Windy City - where he's a favorite at the Hotel Allegro - to Ben Silver in Charleston South Carolina, and small towns across America. He's brought me much luck, and is always ready to help me finish a roll of Tri-X film.
His complete focus and his gratitude remain a good lesson for me and for my photography eleven years later - and constantly remind me to keep a camera handy and ready to capture the humor that is there if you put down your phone and make the time to look for it. Thank you my friend, Happy Birthday, and many more.

The future of film photography is in the magic of fiber-based printing
For over 40 years, Kodak Tri-X film has always come through for me. At night, Ilford's Delta 3200 never lets me down.
Back in the day, we exposed a roll of film, developed it, and waited for the contact print to magically appear in the tray of developer. Watching the image appear as the chemicals worked on the blank sheet of paper is still like opening a birthday present.
Because you couldn't be sure you had the image until you made prints, you kept your eye on the ball without chimping or emailing your shoot to friends or colleagues. Even today, this forced focus on what the eye is seeing helps the creative process.
While film is just a tool, the amount of time required to make a good print on fiber-based paper makes the end product richer. As with fountain pens and slide rules, the analog process makes me slow down and think about what I'm doing.
Better sensors make for better images than digital cameras could make five years ago. Last weekend, Adam Marelli showed those of us attending his one-day seminar some wonderful 16 x 20 prints that Digital Silver Imaging in Boston printed on fiber-based paper from images Adam made with his Leica Monochrome M.
Like printing from film on fiber-based paper, Digital Silver's technology uses the silver gelatin layer in the paper, providing the tonal range you get only in traditional silver based prints. For now, that requires sending your file out for printing.
For those who want to make their own magic, film photography and traditional wet darkroom printing reward craftsmanship with the finest prints of the art in the ordinary.
Thanks to John Rehner for expertly matting and tastefully framing the fiber-based prints of these images and representing them in the United States, to Stephen Bartels of Stephen Bartels Gallery in London for giving them a home in Europe, and to John and Stephen for their selfless advice and encouragement.

Declare Independence from Compulsive Posts and Smartphone Alerts
Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches: "The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive."
On this Independence Day, let's set ourselves free from smartphone alerts by silencing cellphone sounds except for those from our doctor, veterinarian, and immediate family. Do others really "need" to reach us at all times?
Let's say no to the infobesity of compulsive multiple posts. As documentary legend Maggie Steber put it, "Curate Your Photographs."Post only your best work.

The iPhone's most valuable feature for photographers
Last week's Paris trip was one of my most productive in years. Why?
Except to email a fellow photographer there about meeting details, and to check in for my return flight, my phone remained in airplane mode.
How much more I saw. Sadly, many people were oblivious to the good things around them because they were face down in their devices.
The May Black+White Photography magazine's thought-provoking column by Tim Clinch repeated what he wrote a couple of months ago: the two most important words in photography are self-discipline.
Connecting that with what Steven Pressfield wrote about Resistance and consumer culture, and Chris Lowney on leadership in Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads (immersed in the world, but not 'of' the world … does not drift on a tide of texts, media stimulation, and phone calls), I continue to work at the self-discipline to leave my phone in airplane mode.
"Errer est humain; flâneur est Parisien." - Victor Hugo
Next time you're out photographing, be immersed in the world around you, instead of the world on your device.

Do your pictures pop?
Reading Sam Horn's Pop - Stand Out In Any Crowd made me think about why some photos work and others don't.
Two of my Paris images came to mind. While the one of the couple kissing is a classic image street photographers look for on a Paris trip, something's missing.
The second image is my best selling photo ever. It's allowed me to give back via the Friends of Anton, Secours Populaire Français, and a variety of causes.
The missing element? Snap. Why does one pop and the other doesn't?
The light. We photograph light, not objects.
Thank you, Sam, for the reminder on how to stand out.

What we can do for Lent to help improve our focus
Lent begins in less than two weeks on Ash Wednesday, March 5. Tradition calls for those who observe Lent to give something up. Giving up needless smartphone checking and compulsive updating was the first thing that came to mind - after thrift.
A priest in San Diego remarked that "It's not enough to just give something up - you should do something more." So in addition to leaving the smartphone in the pocket, how about focus and truly being in the moment - like the cowhands in Wyoming pictured below?
Our photography and our relationships can't help but improve.

A time when we thought things through and knew how to make change
Before there were iPhones, personal computers, and calculators, students used slide rules.
As I looked at this image of the captain of my late father's air ambulance flight showing the first officer how to use my Keuffel and Esser Jet Log Jr. slide rule, it brought back fond memories of a time when we figured things out for ourselves or looked it up in a book instead of going online or relying on the cash register to figure out how much change the customer has coming back.
Time to resurrect the analog antidote project - capturing those devoted to slide rules and fountain pens.

What dogs can teach us about focus
Lucky the Jack Russell Terrier has taught me much, and the complete attention that he gives to everything is a daily reminder.
His singular focus on the morsel that awaited him at Eddie's in Geneva on the Lake, Ohio and in Lusk, Wyoming, demonstrates the attention that we too can give to our photography, to our driving and walking, to the person we are with, and to whatever else we do in life.
To paraphrase the Belgian photographer Gabriel Delobbe, every moment that you spend looking down at your smartphone is a moment that you are denying yourself the gifts of life that are waiting to be observed.
What will you see today?

What's missing from this picture?
A couple of years ago as I waited for "la femme qui marche chat," I saw these Parisians enjoying the remains of the day along Quai de Bourbon on île Saint-Louis.
They're enjoying a baguette, talking with each other and being in the moment, with not a smartphone in sight.
Dan Milnor's Smogranch blog post today about social media addiction mentioned taking evasive action to avoid compulsive status updaters.
Last November, one of those compulsive status updaters felled me a half block from where I made the Paris photo. Fortunately, neither glass nor bones were broken, although my "snob" LHSA M6TTL has a bit of new patina.
The hospital bill was in today's mail - yes, unlike in America, the French take care of you first instead of worrying about the almighty dollar. And it was less than ten percent of what it would have been had I landed on my hands and knees in Les Etats-Unis.
The letter from France nourished the seed of freedom from Facebook that I planted before last September's London trip for Stephen Bartels Gallery's joint exhibit with Leica Gallery Mayfair. Dan's blog post allowed the seed of just say no to FaceBook to bloom into the final nail in the coffin of my social media addiction.
As Jackson put it in The Leader Who Had No Title, "There have never been so many useless distractions available to human beings."
Lucky the Jack Russell Terrier, my photography, and the books I'm writing are my priorities and deserve my undivided attention. So, adieu to social media, except Twitter and this BlkWhiteFilmPix blog. To me, LinkedIn is a networking tool, not social media.
Black and white film photography, real paper books, fountain pens, and slide rules remain my refuge from the tyranny of technology.
The Cleveland area is a winter wonderland in the wake of seven inches of snow today, and so I'm off to make a few pictures before the light is gone.
Happy Birthday Dan, and thanks for the encouragement!

Will You Embrace Greatness in 2014?
As the New Year approaches, many of us resolve to be better. To achieve this, we must set specific goals and put a deadline on them.
What specific goals might we set? What do we want to be? To get started, we could work toward being:
Focused - Captain Sullenberger's extraordinary concentration on getting Flight 1549 down safely remains the gold standard for attention to the task at hand.
Attentive - as in the undivided attention Bill Clinton gives everyone. He doesn't look at his watch or his iPhone when he's talking with you. Give that kind of focus to your photography, your work, your clients, and everyone you meet and work with, and you'll be far ahead of the rest of the pack.
"The biggest obstacle to productivity is connectivity" - Tova Payne
Thanks to John Rehner for encouraging me to leave my phone off, and to and to Lucky [the Jack Russell Terrier] for always reminding me it's time to disconnect.
Paying attention to what's around you (instead of a smartphone screen) will enrich your life as well as the lives of those you encounter.
Positive - if, like Robin Sharma, we look at bumps in the road of life as opportunities to rise to a challenge and improve ourselves and the process, we'll remain on track while achieving greatness whatever we do.
By looking on the bright side of what life hands us, we can turn a negative into a positive, as Josef Koudelka said about why he loves black and white photography.
Inspiring - St. Francis said "Preach often, occasionally with words."
Pope Francis' life of humility inspires everyone because he's down to earth and focuses on what's really important while ignoring the chaff.
Nelson Mandela invited his jailers to his inauguration. Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King stood by their principles of nonviolence. During the Depression, FDR taught that "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
When President Ford was asked during his first days in office if he would make new ethics rules in the wake of Richard Nixon's resignation, he replied, "The standard will be the example I set."
Others like Jack Canfield inspire us with great stories and with their obvious enthusiasm that makes us want to be better.
Photographer Bill Allard pointed out that as photographers, we're always taking pictures. One of his photos was so powerful that it inspired National Geographic's readers to send money to replace a flock of sheep killed by a speeding car in Peru.
To paraphrase Mother Teresa, we can inspire others by doing small things with great attention and love.
Relating - relating well to others, and relating what happens to us with photographs or words makes us pay attention while sharing the greatness that is there if we make time to see it.
One of the most inspiring photographers I know, David Hume Kennerly, continues to make pictures that tell great stories while inspiring us to go out, make great photographs showing what the world wants to see, thereby making it a better place.
For more words of inspiration, Dr. Mollie Marti's Walking With Justice tells how Judge Max Rosenn's life inspired everyone around him. Judge Rosenn is no longer with us, but thanks to Dr. Mollie (as her friends call this gifted psychologist, lawyer and servant leader) his gifts of grace and gratitude live on to teach us.
What have you noticed that you want to share?
Grateful - Being grateful for all that you have is the prime ingredient of your greatness cake. If you appreciate what you have, more will come your way. One way to be grateful is to give back. Giving back isn't about money - it can be time or things.
Giving Thanks, the Art of Tithing, explains how giving back empowers you as well as those with whom you share, and makes room for more. (A tip o' the pin - ala Zippy - to Dr. Mollie Marti for sharing this wonderful resource with me last year).
Trustworthy - you know what you're talking about, you speak the truth, and you act with integrity by doing what you say. This is the mark of a mensch. To paraphrase Gandhi, your life is your message.
With just a few words, Cow boss Gerry Endicott's thundering velvet hand* reminded the crew it was time to get to work: "Guys, we're wastin' daylight!"
* hat tip to the late great Dan Fogelberg's tribute to his father, Leader of the Band.
Start right, end right: Instead of picking up your phone and checking texts or email, begin the day by making time for an "hour of power" - 20 minutes of reading or listening to inspirational books, 20 minutes of exercise or yoga, and 20 minutes of meditation or prayer. Continue the flow as you work with attention to detail (note to self - on framing), honesty, integrity, and a positive outlook based on gratitude, for a great day, every day. End the day with thanks for the things that went right, and look forward to a better tomorrow.
Or would you rather be wastin' daylight and wishing on a star?

It's Time to Take Back The Blog
Have you heard the news? Facebook is killing how we connect with our audience.
Ok, maybe I am being a little dramatic, but not by much. Some people are blaming Edgerank, an algorithm developed by Facebook to govern what is displayed and how high on people's news feed. In conjunction with this, what is ranked highest and placed on the news feed is, others say, what is paid for – in other words, what you pay Facebook advertising dollars to promote.
We have all noticed our reach significantly decline on our Facebook stats. People who willingly "liked" our pages might still not get to see what they signed up for because Facebook is picking and choosing at will.
It's coming down to paying to be seen. Brands are using their marketing money for the cause, trying to protect themselves against the many glitches around advertising on Facebook by hiring consultants to manage against the numerous amount of bots that rigged the system they are paying for, pushing up the cost of messages-turned-paid-for ads that aren't really being seen by that many "real" people otherwise.
Bloggers are freaking the hell out.
"How will people see my content?" "How will I reach my audience?" "Holy mother of God what will we do NOW?"
I get it.
This is what marketers and brands and agencies have done to blogging.
Yeah…that's right. I'm looking at you.
By classifying the blogger and/or their content's worth and value based on the number of "likes" or "followers" or "Alexa ranking" or "unique readers" and at times rewarding them handsomely so that they connect you with the people you hope are real and potential consumers, you have contributed to turning bloggers into marketing junkies and creating bloggers who live for no other purpose than to churn out numbers. High numbers for the promise of opportunities.
This is what bloggers have done to blogging.
Yeah…that's right. I'm looking at you.
You have relinquished your control and your power over your blog to the likes of Twitter and Facebook and Google+. What once used to be the excitement to share a story, even if only one person read it and responded, has turned into an obsession over how many comments you can get. How many readers you can reach. How many people retweet or like or worship you.
We've created titles like "popular blogger" "celebrity bloggers" "big blogger". And I have to ask: What the f*ck, people? What has happened to blogging?
I came to Facebook very, very late in the game. And by the time I did, I had developed a nice following of readers, many of whom I considered friends because of my interactions with them either on Twitter or in person.
More often than not, I used Twitter to rant and rave, chat and respond…and I loved it.
Lately those conversations have gotten harder, in part because Twitter too is picking and choosing who can see what on eachother's stream, and I miss seeing people that I know are there, but for whatever reason Twitter has chosen to unfollow or just not let on to my Twitter world.
I won't deny that I have a media kit that I present to potential clients and advertisers for jobs, opportunities, and advertising dollars.
But I will admit that what I love about blogging, more than anything at all, is the story telling itself and the genuine conversations I have with the people who read me – whether they be two or 20. And meeting them, in person, when ever I can.
And…I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted of it being about the numbers. I'm exhausted of having brands talk to me about "my reach" and not about "my voice". I'm exhausted of hearing "experts" get on panels telling me how I can "increase my stats" as opposed to talking to me on how to find motivation when it fails me, or deal with writer's block, or stay true to my voice, or effing learn how to just write better.
There are bloggers who are there to make money and literally find the SEO, statistic, reach and metrics world absolutely orgasmic. And God bless 'em. They help us understand it all better.
There are bloggers who look to this to help support their families, and man, do I get that too – many a times has a check helped to pay a bill in my household.
But despite it all a lot of us really just wanna be able to write a good story and I say it's time. It's time to take back the blog. It's time to forget about the stats and the likes and the views and just write a damn good story.
And brands, come back to the reasons why you were intrigued with bloggers in the first place: our ability to genuinely connect with our community. Our ability to share with those who trust us and look to us for information because they know we won't steer them wrong. We might just be reaching Jenny, Jane and Martha. And they may be our only loyal readers, but Jenny, Jane, and Martha have their own following, who have their own following. To judge and select a blogger solely on the numbers in front of you is to limit not only their potential, but your own.
Read us. Connect with us. Get to know us. Let us get back to what we do best!
I am not implying that the practice of sharing our content should be dead. Tweet and Facebook and Google+ your heart out. Because it feels good to share. We want people to know. But let's keep sight of our intentions and regain the joy for what we do, regardless of what the numbers say.
It's how so many of us started on this journey in the first place, remember? And we were our happiest, even when we didn't think there was anyone out there listening.
Those were good times.
And finally, if you are looking to blog to make a crap load of money, well…that ship has sailed. Unless of course, you are also willing to get out there and network, promote yourself, send out emails, freelance, deliver a good product and good content.
Blogging is not going to make you rich.
Yeah, that's right. I said it.
So have a broader plan in place. Because between all the better blogs out there competing for attention and marketing money, Facebook trying to figure out how to pay back investors, and Twitter trying to make a profit, all we are left with is the choice to do this for the love of it, and do it well so that others will feel inspired enough to want to read more and feel happy in turn.
All we are left with is going back to when it was about the blog and blogging was good.

As a girl who's admired your writing and your blog, and also another mama with a blog raising kids in NJ, I can't tell you how much this post moves me. I've been given the title of "small blogger" for the 5 years that I have been blogging, and lately it seems that numbers are still a big deal, although bloggers and speakers and conferences are swearing up and down that they're not. So which way am I supposed to go? Write like I have been and get lost in the shuffle, or sell out and work on getting empty numbers so I can get a paycheck to help us get out of debt and own our own home? The leaders of the big conferences are saying "you can have it all" but are also saying "visit our sponsors and take their swag." E-books are telling me that it's so important to interact on Facebook and twitter, and you need to build those numbers if you want to be taken seriously. Well…I am serious about my writing, and i'm serious about providing content for my readers, but because my FB status updates don't get seen like a blogger with thousands of friends/followers, I'm not serious or important? I can't accept that. Which is why my 2013 goals for my blog are based around things that I feel the need to write about within the next year. It an monetary opportunity comes up, then that's great, but i'm over the numbers bull crap.
Amen. You tell the truth. I have narrowed down my writing to only what I care about, not about what brands want me to write about or promote. While I have a nice following, my numbers are not big and I am not typically chosen for appropriate opportunities and I continue to write about only what interests me. I've loved my blog for nearly 3 years now and it's led to wonderful opportunities but to be honest, I'm not sure where it's going in 2013. I'm tired, I'm burnt out, I want to return to the work force full time and leave it in the dust. Where did the passion go? I'm not sure.
I started my personal blog as a niche, writing about toys using my background as an occupational therapist and trying to include a different spin on my own content that proved to be great product development advice for companies, while parents have been able to locate cool toys and products to use with their children. However, these days, I make my money writing for About.com as their toys guide. It's much less stress. For some reason, most likely it's financially driven, but I am able to get the content written 10 times faster, I know what my requirements are and at the end of the month the money is deposited into my bank account. I've increased my numbers 60% over the last year solely writing content with basic SEO and there I have not dedicated much time to social media — at all. But with regards to my personal site I, like you, have seen Facebook and Twitter change drastically. The conversation of Twitter has died. I now liken my Twitter feed to the moving billboard you see at the mall cluttered with retweets of other blog's giveaways. But the irony for me is that 4 years ago, it was Twitter that launched my blog and got me "in" with large, forward-thinking companies I NEVER had personal access to before. I was able to make the connections I now need every single day to produce content, and though I'm completely frustrated now with it, I am here today because of it with paid blogging opportunities and companies who have hired me as a consultant for product development, because of these relationships. I also have maintained a full time job outside of the house so you are right, you won't be rich blogging. But as I have focused more on my paid blogging I have been writing less for my self and my readers on my personal site. There isn't just enough time in the day and that has suffered because we have needed the additional income, so my time and energy has been rerouted for the sake of getting more money to pay the bills given the state of our economy. I'm increasingly frustrated that I can't save time by auto dripping links into Twitter and Facebook because the numbers show me 1/3rd of the people reached, as opposed to linking it myself and posting a link in the comment section, or sending a tweet with a '." in front of the "@." Measurability has made it 10 times harder for us to do our jobs and get our thoughts and content seen, and our reach is not accurate. By knowing me from my personal site, a company has no indication of the reach I have writing for another one. For 2013, I think you have a great idea, let's get back to blogging on our sites and get traffic the way we know best, the good old fashioned SEO way. All of the social media giants that are making the money out there garnering the public speaking and book tour routes, all generally have the same basic mantra that great content, and professional relationships will create those business opportunities, if that's what you want your end result to be.
This is wonderful. Even if you get being the rarely achieved dream of making a lot of money blogging the focus on analytics can be soul sucking.
On Wednesday evening I published a blog post. I published and shared it because I was excited about it and wanted to share it! Then, the demons in my head started repeating a bunch of SEO crap. I should have shared during rush hour when more people are using social media. I should have waited until Thursday because Google sites that are updated on a a consistent schedule. I should have posted to Facebook by putting the link in the first comment instead of the post itself because it gets more views.
All that stuff is bullshit. It was just worrying about the numbers.
You know what? I posted and shared something when I was excited to do so. Not a lot of people have read that post, but a lot the people who did gave me really nice feedback. That's what matters. That's why I blog.

FDA approves Eisai drug for partial seizures
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved a new drug, Fycompa, for partial seizures caused by epilepsy.
The agency approved the Japanese drugmaker Eisai Inc.'s tablet for epilepsy patients 12 years of age and older. The disease is a brain disorder characterized by excessive nervous system activity, which can cause a variety of spasms, seizures and unusual behavior.
Partial seizures are the most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy.
FDA officials said in a statement that it's important to have multiple medication options available for epilepsy patients, since some people do not respond to currently available drugs.
Fycompa will carry a boxed warning about potentially dangerous side effects, including aggression, anger, paranoia and anxiety. It advises patients and caregivers to alert their doctors if unusual changes in mood or behavior are observed.
Eisai Inc. is based in Tokyo, with U.S. operations in Woodcliff Lake, N.J.

First Nations language conference aims to help youth
Many students who come to Thunder Bay from remote First Nations struggle to keep language connection
CBC News
About 100 people are gathered at the Best Western Plus Nor'Wester Hotel & Conference Centre in Thunder Bay today for a Regional Native Language Conference.
The event, organized by Lakehead Public Schools, is all about preserving languages — mostly Ojibway, Cree and Oji-Cree — and their dialects.
Funded by the Ministry of Education, and aimed mostly at educators, the conference's goal is to provide a place to share techniques for passing on traditional languages to today's youth.
Participants told CBC News it's a particularly important issue in Thunder Bay, as many students come to the city from remote First Nations. Language is often an important connection to their culture.
The conference is offering keynote speakers and breakout sessions for participants. Keynote speakers include social worker Ron Kanutski, and American Indian Studies professor Margaret Ann Nodin, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Session facilitators include Patricia Ningewance Nadeau, Brian Smith, Ralph Johnson, Jenny Rose Pert-Wesley, Charlotte Neckoway and the Ogden Community Public School Team. The sessions focus on methods for teaching native languages, using music, games and other techniques.
"The theme of Land, Language, Culture and Community will resonate throughout the two days of this conference," said Jojo Guillet, Lakehead Public Schools aboriginal education resource teacher in a press release on Thursday.
"It will be an incredible opportunity for learning, sharing and collaborating with the shared goal of increased student success in all schools."
The conference wraps up at 3:15 p.m. on Friday.

A Better Butter: Which Spreadable Nut Best Meets Your Needs?
By Kate Trainor
Peanut butter may pack plenty of protein, fiber, and stick-to-your-ribs satisfaction, but to reap the diverse health benefits of nature's nuts and seeds, you'll have to look beyond the standard jar of Skippy. "We need more variety than just peanut butter," says Susan Levin, staff dietitian for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Although most nuts and seeds share similar qualities, each boasts its own nutritional perks—from fat-burning potential to cancer protection—that become concentrated when the nuts are ground into butters. "They contain protein, unsaturated fats, and antioxidants, and are naturally low in carbs," says Leonard Ram, MD, author of the Ram Nut Diet (Ram Nutrition, 2005). The following guide will help match the right nut butter to your health needs.
The power of almond
Rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, almond butter strengthens bones and helps maintain muscle and nerve function, making it ideal for athletes. These nutrients also boost the body's immune system and help ward off disease and infection. "Almonds are one of the best food sources of vitamin E, with about one third of the daily value per ounce," says Levin. Studies suggest that almonds may also reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Try This: To boost immunity and build muscle before or after a workout, top spelt bread with almond butter and some banana.
Cashew for energy
During his heyday, muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger swore by cashew butter. It contains iron, which, combined with its high protein content, will pump you up. Say "hasta la vista" to low energy with a spoonful. "It has less fat than other nut butters and is rich in protein," says Levin. With the creaminess of dairy but without all that saturated fat, cashew butter too is rich in B vitamins, which boost metabolism, increase skin and muscle tone, enhance the immune and nervous systems, and promote cellular health.
Try This: Add cashew butter to a smoothie for an energy-boosting breakfast. Include it in a sauce for noodles and fish (or poultry) for added protein.
Walnut to ward off fat
"Walnuts are the best option for omega-3s," says Levin. Eating a daily serving may lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease. A 2006 study by the Lipid Clinic in Barcelona, Spain, found that walnuts proved more effective than olive oil at countering the ill effects of high-fat foods. The reason? Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that helps maintain the elasticity of the arteries, which aids circulation.
Try This: Blend walnut butter, lemon juice, garlic, and chickpeas to create a heart-healthy hummus.
Purify with pecan
Perfect for detoxifying, pecan butter boasts a comprehensive dose of antioxidants, including vitamins A, B, and E, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. One tablespoon has 25 percent more oleic acid, a heart-healthy staple of a traditional Mediterranean diet, than a...

3: Who Knew Science Teahcers Were Hot?2 Reviews
Frank stood awkwardly in front of the class, just as he had done that morning. He hated being the center of attention, even though he was an angel. Well, a used-to-be angel. Mr. Haner smiled at Frank, his hand resting on the student's shoulder. Frank's gaze drifted with curiousity on all the kids sitting in their seats. A lot of girls were staring dreamily up at Mr. Haner. He noticed that one of them was Lacey.
Lacey stopped staring at Gates' pants and averted her attention to the guy she met earlier that day. Once again, her eyes held his and she looked down, blushing.
Frank smiled. Lacey was cute when she blushed. Mr. Haner cleared his throat, clapping his hands together, no doubt bringing every girl out of her daydream. "Frank, go ahead and sit down right there." he pointed to an empty seat in front. Lacey raised her hand high in the air, her best smile playing on her lips. "Yes, Lacey?" she smiled wider when her name rolled off of Gate's tongue.
"Can I move to the front? I can't really see, Mr. Gates." a few of her classmates stared at her when 'Gates' came out of her mouth. Their teacher only smiled.
"Absolutely, Lacey. Take a seat next to Mr. Iero." Lacey nodded and got up from her seat, abandoning Alice and her herd of friends to go get a good look at what was beneath the semi-tight pants of her science teacher. "Today, we will begin with..." as soon as Lacey heard 'we will begin with', she automatically zoned out. Science was so boring. The only fun part was Mr. Gates and his demonstrations. Somebody behind her whispered something in her ear, making her gasp.
"I am not licking a crayon!" she gasped loudly, mortified. Mr. Haner turned around, an amused smile on his face.
"Is that what they call it nowadays?" he arched an eyebrow, staring straight at Lacey.
"Well, uh, I mean..." Lacey stammered, looking down. Mr. Haner smiled as he grabbed a slip, writing on it quickly.
"After school." he told her, sliding the slip on her desk. She groaned. Two slips in one day?! She already had Baker after school! She stopped freaking and let a sudden truth seep into her mind. Baker, Gates, and her all in one classroom... Alone... Nobody else... She smiled mischeiviously to herself. She'd have a ton of fun with them two. A whole lotta fun.
Frank looked over at Lacey, who looked like she was busy thinking about something other than the Earth's rotation. What was she thinking of? He wanted to know so badly. Somebody tapped him on the shoulder. He looked behind him, noticing one of the girls Lacey hung out with.
Alice waved an invite to Andy's party in his direction. 'Do you want to go, New Guy?' she mouthed. Frank thought about it for a second. He quickly nodded back, smiling. If Alice was there, then Lacey had to be there, right? He sure hoped so. He'd have to talk to Alice after class. Glancing back over to Lacey, he noticed the way she stared at Mr. Haner. A twinge of jealousy hit him. Why didn't she look at him that way?

so. fucking. embarrassed.
so. fucking. embarrassed.
this is how i'm starting the year… let's see how far i can come :)
i've been unable to run for the past three weeks. it's been miserable. i was sick and also found out that the problem with my ankle was tendinitis… which meant that the only way to get better was to do nothing on it. ughhhh. which led to a pity spiral of no working out at all and lots of terrible eating, with regret days staying on a raw diet and low cal. it was bad there for a minute. but i am back on track, and training started today! my resolutions this year:
this year….
(via befitbeyou)
Shocked at how much this applies to me.
(Source: sunbaths, via makeyourselfproud13)
The complete over haul in eating styles that we are ( he is..) going to experience when I move back to Florida. He seemed genuinely interested in getting healthier, which is fantastic! He was a little disappointed when I explained that we wouldn't be eating cereal that changes the color of milk. Actual conversation:
Me: …and no more chocolate cereal. No cereal that changes the color of the milk at all. There are plenty of good for you cereals that are honey-sweet and tasty.
Dad: but the thing about chocolate cereal is that at the end you get chocolate milk!!
Me: no chocolate milk.
Dad: *someone kill me face*
(via imgTumble)
In the end you might even look better than she does.
Need to save this for my post-run work out.
(Source: , via befitbeyou)
Two nights past, I saw him… The big him, the him I think about all the time. The one that I got involved with to forget about the one that I saw last night.
So here I am, totally enamored with two nights ago boy. And might I add, the evening was phenomenal. We bowled and he won, but he called me skinny. He actually apropos nothing called me skinny… Well e hugged me and squeezed me and then he said it. But that's not what made the night awesome. That came later when I was snuggling into his chest and he told me that I was pretty and smart and fun and that when we were done with school he might have to track me down if I am not already married. I lost feeling in my toes from the rush of blood to my head and ears and cheeks.
He also told me I looked like a candy cane and that he was feeling suddenly very lucky when he got me back to his room. It was magnificent and I haven't been that happy since the last time I saw him. I am still riding that high.
Cue boy from last night, original boy. Boy that I spent three years developing friendly feelings, and then real feelings, for. Boy who has a girlfriend who told me not to wait. Boy I can't say no to. We talk so easily, unlike the other one. We know each other so well, we hang out well, and I haven't seen him since May. He picked me up from my brothers house, drove me around a d all the way back to my house, a full hour away.
I was sleepy but he woke me up.
And then he left and now I am sitting here freaking out that I saw two men in two days (with overlap because I stayed the night with the other guy) and that I care very deeply for one of them but I am not sure which one. I am not even sure how to function right now.
Merry holidays to everyone.
i want to!

I agree with Rich – Twitter as designed just cannot be a foolproof source of sentiment data. Its time to build social platforms with the core purpose of harvesting sentiment data:
1 – ensuring a representative worker sample, not just any social media user;
2 – separating layers of data: the subject, sentiment polarity and narrative so as to eliminate ambiguity;
3 – harmonizing motives – the easiest way would be through equal compensation for "yes" and "no" votes, so that the motive skew factor is mitigated.
The Wall Street Journal examines numbers in the news, business and politics. Some numbers are flat-out wrong or biased, while others are valid and help us make informed decisions. We tell the stories behind the stats in occasional updates on this blog.

Wise choice to lay the carpet tiles in a diagonal pattern. It really adds interest.
@ CallDoctorBison
I thought the same thing. The diagonal placement makes the room dynamic.
Love the carpet tiles.
looks really cozy. I like your pillows and art.
I love the floor!
I love the little green side table. Is it metal? Where'd you get it?
It's a Tucker Laptop Table from CB2. They don't seem to have the green anymore, but there's a great black chalkboard version.

Three members of the "Dominicans Don't Play" gang
were sentenced to prison Tuesday in the 2009 killing of a Teaneck man attacked in Hackensack, northjersey.com reported.
Union City resident Gabriel Pujols, 25, was sentenced to 23 years, the report said. Co-defendants 29-year-old Frederick DeLeon, also of Union City and Hackensack resident Manuel Ramirez were sentenced to 12 and 10 year terms.
Prosecutors said the three were drinking at a party in Hackensack and got into a fight with a group of men they thought were from the "Trinitarios" gang, according to the report. Pujols and his co-defendants later went searching for the rivals and happened upon Victor Garcia, who was not a gang member.
Pujols admitted to stabbing 20-year-old Garcia, thinking he was a rival gang member, the report said. DeLeon also confessed his role in the slaying. Ramirez, 24, denied being involved and was convicted of reckless manslaughter.

A new store in Granger offers a unique holiday shopping experience for Michiana.
Five friends, who tried the "popup" program in 2012, decided to move their talents to a new location. Now, the owners are testing their luck in Granger, November through January.
"Even though we did really well in Downtown South Bend, we thought Granger needed something like us," said Lisa Bails, one of the partners at Mistletoe Market.
45 artists are showcasing their work under one roof. Owners say there is something for everyone, from handmade soaps, decorations and jewelry to crocheted hats and scarves.
"There really isn't a place to do that other than going to a craft show," said Bails. "We're kind of like a craft show, but a pop up craft show."
Mistletoe Market is on State Road 23 in Granger right next to the Granger Farmer's Market. The store is open Tuesday-Friday from 10a.m.-7p.m. Saturday from 8a.m.-4p.m. and Sunday from noon-4p.m.

In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
Former TNA knockout SoCal Val posted an interesting picture of herself riding in a shopping cart.
Former TNA knockout SoCal Val will be joining Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman at an autograph signing in England this week.
SoCal Val revealed the centerfold picture she posed for in Business Cycles Ink.
While she has been spotted at several of their events, WWE has not expressed much interest in signing SoCal Val.
