How much would you pay to support President Obama at an event where you could meet him and hear him speak? How about $1,400 (the cost of attending Tuesday's fundraiser in Seattle, Washington)? What about $30,400 (the suggested ticket price to attend Vogue Editor Anna Wintour's dinner with Obama last month)?
Fundraising is part of the president's unofficial job description. This week Obama's schedule has been packed with fundraising appearances, including two for elected state officials while he was in Seattle Tuesday. At these functions, attendees are encouraged to make contributions to the Democratic Party, and Obama speaks to supporters about his policy and goals.
Fundraising is especially critical now with midterm elections approaching this November and with Obama's approval rating having dipped to its lowest weekly average last week, according to a recent Gallup poll.
These events are not just about raising funds—they're about raising support.
So in the spirit of President John F. Kennedy's famous quote, "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country," Obama's speech at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee finance event in Los Angeles, California Monday contained the following message:
"We're going to move this country forward with your help, but we are going to need your help. We're going to need your phone calls. We are going to need your knocking on doors. We need your enthusiasm. We need your spirit. We need your confidence that we can continue to make this country even better than it already is. All right? And if everybody here is able to marshal that spirit once again, I'm absolutely positive we're not just going to do well in this election, we're going to do right by the next generation."
What's your reaction?

In Which I Invent Numbers
Last night I read Hugh Howey's take on the whole Amazon vs Hachette thing. I don't know why. I knew it would make me mad, and it did. Howey is, by all accounts, a super nice guy who is always available for emerging writers to pick his brain. He supports the community and tries his damnedest to make sure creators are not getting screwed. So I had to think that, rather than trying to shill for The Man, he must just be incredibly stupid and ignorant. I was up half the night seething bitterly about how many customers I would face tomorrow who felt entitled to have temper tantrums at the cash register because we/publishers are unfairly getting rich off their backs, and why can't we all just discount books like that great Saviour of the People, Amazon???
Except Howey isn't stupid and he knows how publishing works. So what was up with his backward-ass approach to explaining how publishers arrive at their prices?
Then it hit me. Howey is thinking like a self publisher. He thinks Hachette is a self publisher.
When you self publish, the money you spend up front to produce the book is a gamble. It's the cost of having a dream fulfilled, or of getting your foot in the door. It's a "long term investment", betting on the day, five books down the road, when you really start to take off. Nine times out of ten, you never see that money again.
A publisher does not gamble any more than it has to. It looks at its costs – editors, designers, publicists, customer service reps, distributors, warehouses, printers, lawyers, mistakes, everything – and works out exactly how many books they need to sell at what cost in order to make it back. Some years a book hits big, and in those years, somebody makes bank. But most of the time, they pay their employees and produce books.
Howey's assertion that Hachette "get[s] the full wholesale price of $8.99," only makes sense if you think Hachette is a guy, like Howey. When a self-publisher sells a book, they use that money to pay back the loan they made to themselves during that book's production – a cost that Howey seems to be counting after profits, the same way one might buy groceries or pay the hydro bill. Publishers do this the other way around. The wholesale cost of the book pays for the cost to produce the book. You only look at profits after everyone has been paid.
If a self-publisher never makes their money back, they may decline to self-publish again. If they were publishers, this would be called "going out of business". Hachette isn't super-keen to do this.
But let's back up a bit. Let's talk about Hachette's "crazy" ebook prices, now that we understand that they are not gambling the same way a self-publisher might.
What does it cost to make a book? What % is the author really getting?
Here's a simplified break down of the cost to self publish. Back-of-the-napkin stuff.
Book cover – $150 – $200 (this is cheap. CHEAP. You can do it for less, and we will be able to tell.)
Editing services – $400 (this is also cheap, but this is what I will charge you for an 80,000 word novel)
ISBN/expanded distribution – $99 (this is to get an ISBN you can use outside of Amazon)
Copyright registration – $85 (your work is automatically copyrighted, but many people choose to register for ease of legal protection. Many.)
Layout & Design – $150
Kirkus Review (this is a handy stand in for "publicity costs")- $425
A website – $600
This was done on the cheap. You could do it even cheaper, true, but you will pay instead with your time, sanity, and quality of product. So, your mileage may vary, but this is a handy number.
The million dollar question is, how many copies will you sell? Truly, nobody knows. Here are some things I do know:
90% of books registered with BookNet Canada only sell one copy. One. Copy.
Tobias Buckell dissected some Smashwords data last year that shows the vast, vast majority of titles sell fewer than 100 copies.
The best-selling anthology I have ever contributed to has sold 141 copies.
Award-winning YA author Arthur Slade reports selling an average of 635 books per title over a whole year, but this is 4780 copies of one best-seller and an average of 175 books for each other title.
But, that said, I know a lot of first-time self published authors of romance & teen books that come off Wattpad with "fan bases" of 5k+ followers. They expect to sell 500 copies in the first few months, and they do that or better. So if you have an established author presence and a book with a known audience, 500 is a good number to shoot for.
Let's say you'll sell 500 copies because I am being very generous.
You price your ebook at $5.99 because that's what Hugh Howey did. You sold 500 copies. That's nearly $3000.
Amazon takes 30% ($900)
The IRS takes 30% ($630)
You made $1470. Congrats!
Wait, sorry. I mean you are still short $430.
What about Hachette? How does this break down for them? Let's look at one subsidiary, Orbit books.
I don't know how many employees Orbit has, but let's say you only need the ones that cover the same services the self-publisher paid out for themselves – even though they also need laywers, customer service reps, account managers and so on. Orbit publishes roughly 60 books a year, so we will assume a book gets 1/60th of their services (though in reality, things aren't this fair – still, short hand). Salaries extrapolated from the bottom end of Indeed.com's salary estimator.
Cover designer – $48,000/60 = $800
Editor – $47,000/60 = $784
ISBN = $5.75 (you can buy them in blocks for much less than they sell individually)
Copyright registration – $85
Layout & Design/Typography – $58,000/60 = $967
Publicity – $44,000/60 = $734
Printing – $3.90/book x 500 copies = $1950
Author Advance – $5000
Website – $0 (the publisher probably won't do this for you!)
Well, we printed 500 print copies. Let's say we will sell these in addition to 500 ebooks, because I'm going to pretend I don't know full well that plenty of big-5 titles only sell 150 copies, period. Let's say Orbit has high hopes for you, and you will sell 1000 books.
If Orbit sold them for Howey's $5.99, they'd have $5,990. Amazon would take 30% = $1790. I can't guess at Orbit's tax rate, but let's be generous and say it's 30% too. $1260. The distributor, by the way, wants 10% on the 500 print books you sold through them. That's $300. Well, so far Orbit has lost almost $7000 on this book.
If MSRP was $8.99? $8990, and Amazon's already paid. Well, we're closer. They've only lost $4000. Incidentally, if they don't pay the author an advance and just give them "25%" as Howey suggests, the author "only" gets $2250, but Orbit has only lost maybe $400. Another few months and they might break even.
Hachette's barely eking by at $8.99 MSRP, and the author is $2250 ahead instead of $430 behind.
Everybody thinks they will do better. You can make this look better for Amazon & the author by selling more units. In scenario one, you will break even after you've sold another roughly 150 books. You'll make the same as you might have in the Hachette scenario 760 books after that – so in order to make the same money on 1000 traditionally published books at $8.99 MSRP ($14.99 on Amazon), you'll have to sell 1400 self published ones at $5.99. Maybe you think you will make those sales. I feel that this is… optimistic of you, but that's your business. It is your dream to gamble on. You might, after all, make it big, like Hugh Howey.
But it would be business insanity for a mainstream publisher to operate as if they are guaranteed 1400, or even 500, sales of every book they publish. They know very well they have to balance the misses with the hits. They have been doing this for decades, after all.
And, of course, there's the pesky issue of the salaries listed there. It costs more for a publisher to make a book because it employs people – real humans making middle-class salaries. We should not begrudge those people their jobs. Hell, most of them are probably the same creators Howey defends. The $2200 you might make self-publishing a book is not going to pay your bills, not unless you can write a novel every three weeks. Even being a freelance designer or editor isn't going to pay your bills – not unless you are extraordinarily successful – or you put your prices up. I don't edit six 80,000-novels per month, let me tell you.
No, it's publishing that supports the entire creative industry. That's where book lovers find jobs. Is that worth a buck per book to you? Is it to me.

Remember Me
How did a fourth century Turkish bishop come to be known as Santa Claus? St. Nicholas was born in the year 270. At an early age he was selected to be the Bishop of Myra in what is now Turkey. After his death on Dec. 6, 343, he was canonized and that date was selected as his feast day.It was said that when Nicholas was orphaned as a young man he took the words of Jesus to heart and used his entire inheritance to aid the poor, the sick and the suffering. Children firstHis concern for children and the poor would continue throughout his life.Among the miracles attributed to him was a time when famine ravaged Myra for a period of several years. He learned that some ships had made port nearby and were loaded with grain. He went to the port and begged to have some of the grain given to him for distribution to the hungry. The sailors on the ships told him that they could not give him any since the amounts had been recorded and they would be in serious trouble if they did not arrive at their destination without all of the grain.Nicholas told the mariners that if a measure of grain was removed from each of the ships and given to him that they would find upon arrival at their final destination that all of the grain would be there. He fed the poorSure enough the grain was given and the ships arrived with no missing grain. Nicholas used the grain to feed the poor for several years and still had enough left to plant a crop.Another story regards his generosity to three young women who were unable to wed because their families had no dowry to give to their prospective husbands. It was said that the bishop knew of their plight and tossed a small bag of gold into the windows of each of the maidens so that they would have a dowry. Among the various occupations that count St. Nicholas as their patron saint are pawnbrokers and bankers. For many years, the signs indicating a pawnbroker or moneylender used the device of three golden balls representing the three bags of gold.During the Middle Ages, sailors spread the tales of St. Nicholas resulting in the building of thousands of churches all over Europe, three hundred in Belgium alone. There according to legend he appears mounted on a white horse wearing his Bishop's miter (hat). Becoming more the image of Father Christmas as time evolved. Still the customIt is still the custom for the gift giving surrounding Christmas time in Europe to be done on St. Nicholas feast day of Dec. 6.Children awaken that morning to find that their shoes have been filled with small gifts, candy and fruit. Instead of milk and cookies, many have left hay and carrots in their shoes for the horse.For whatever reason the story of St. Nicholas and Santa Claus has become intertwined although they really aren't the same person. They have a love of children in common and make it their mission to spread good throughout the world. But calling Santa, St. Nick is really not quite right. The image of Santa was inaccurately depicted in the early 1800s as being St. Nicholas arriving from the north driving a sleigh with flying reindeer. One of the most popular works was A Visit from St. Nicholas, aka 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, written in 1823.After all, we don't sing, "Jolly old St. Nicholas throw some gold my way. Don't you tell a single soul, you've got grain to weigh." Not quite as festive, but that would be more accurate.Jim Robertson is a longtime Harrison resident, a member of Harrison City Council, and a weekly columnist for The Harrison Press.

A now-closed Swiss bank account and at least 23 investment funds listed in former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) recently released tax returns were not listed in his most recent financial disclosure forms, which are required to run for office. Among the unlisted funds were 11 based in offshore tax havens like Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and Luxembourg, the Los Angeles Times reported today, and many are associated with Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney co-founded. According to the Times, Romney's campaign dismissed the discrepancies as "trivial" but said they will have to make "some minor technical amendments" to Romney's disclosure forms.

Book Description:
"The success of Dear's art lies in excesss He is as much a caricaturist as a draughtsman and above all he is a fierce, if compassionate moralist" (Clive Barnes, New York Post) The Art of Success is a coruscating portrait of William Hogarth, an artist and satirist whose popular prints, including "The Harlot's Progress" and "The Rake's Progress" enabled him to earn a considerable living. In a hectic scramble through one London night, Hogarth attends a meeting of the Beefsteak Club, is pursued by an outraged murderess and visits his whore. Premiered by the Royal Shakesepeare Company at Stratford upon Avon in 1986, the play transferred to the Barbican, London in 1987. "Dear is fascinated by the horrors of the king's illness, but he is also amused by the thought that what is, after all, one of Britain's most potent political symbols, the throne, should be occupied by a lunatic." (Robert Hewison, Sunday Times) In the Ruins is a two hander first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 1984, and has George 111 musing on his life and times. First staged at the Bristol New Vic in 1989, the play transferred to the Royal Court, London in 1990. "Rich and entertaining stuff. George's ranting is full of great jokes; and Dear gives him a wholly credible monarch's dialect, nursery talk combined with glorious ruling-class arrogance." (Independent)

What is the mean of factorial(-1/2)?

Reply to lurflurf:
In the following n is an integer, x is a continuous variable (complex if you want).
That is exactly the point, and it is a very important one that comes up many places - quantum field theory being a prime example. The business of generalizing a function over a new region of the independant variable is frought with danger, and much care is required. Your example (define sin(x) only when it is rational and say it is something else when it isn't) is an example of the ambiguity that exists. There is a theorem that says that a function can be UNIQUELY "analytically continued" from a region where the independent variable is continuous, no matter how small that region is. The rationals are NOT continuous; neither are the positive integers. Therefore, any function that is defined only over the integers (or rationals) can be extended (i.e. generalized, NOT "analytically continued" which is something very different) in an infinite number of ways. Simply setting n=x doesn't always work, although it is usually the best choice.
Example: A(x) is any function you care to name that is finite when x=n:
generalize as follows: x! = gamma(x+1) + A(x)*sin(Pi*x).
Then n! will still equal gamma(n+1), but anyone who uses the usual definition will get a different result when x.ne.n.
So, everyone has to come to some agreement, and the agreement is that x!=GAMMA(x+1).
But the fact that someone had to ask the question suggests that not everyone knows the convention. So, if you find a textbook that refers to x!, somewhere in that book it should be written that x!=GAMMA(x+1). Otherwise the author is lazy, and worse, mathematically imprecise.
How did quantum field theory or analytically contination get into this? It seemed as if you meant it was (bad) lazy to make the definition x! = gamma(x+1). If you only meant the definition should be clearly stated, that is fine. Though it is tedious to clearly define everything at all times. There is really not a competing definition of x!, x! = gamma(x+1) + A(x)*sin(Pi*x) having not caught on. No confusion results. As I already stated it is desirable that x! be log convex. Speaking of being (bad) lazy one does not normally speak of sets like N, Q, and R as being continuous or not. When one speaks of a function being continuous, one specifies a topology or equivelently type of limit that defines the continuity.
If we define f(x)=sin(x*pi) when x is rational (that is Q is the domain of f)
Theorem 1: f(x) is (rational) continuous for all x
because sin(x+h)-sin(x) is defined and small for all x and small h (where x+h and x are in the domain of f)
Theorem 2: f(x) is an algebraic number for all x
So Theorem 1 will remain true, but theorem 2 will be ruined by the generalization to real numbers.

This independent getaway pairs adventure and eco-tourism with a dose of city culture and the chance to travel through the famous Panama Canal. After visiting San Jose, journey to Tortuguero National Park, prime nesting ground for the endangered green turtle. Hike along old lava flow trails in Arenal with free time to explore then it's on to the Canal Zone to see historic Panama City and the world-renowned canal.
See more journeys in our eCatalog! [1]
Highlights include:
• See wildlife on visits to Tortuguero National Park and Arenal Volcano National Park.
• Experience the ins and outs of the Panama Canal by boat.
• Includes international flight from San Jose to Panama City.
The Central American nations of Costa Rica and Panama boast an abundance of pristine ecosystems filled with precious flora and fauna. Costa Rica has long been at the forefront of eco-tourism but neighboring Panama also has its share of natural treasures. From its tropical forests and exotic beaches to the eighth wonder of the world, the famous canal, Panama is packed with opportunities for discovery.
As Kathleen O. of Petaluma, Calif. said of her recent AAA Sojourns vacation to this pristine area: "We chose to go to Costa Rica because our kids love animals and the outdoors....Even at our lodge, there were iguanas walking around, and all kinds of birds and butterflies in the air."
This independent journey lets you discover the rich natural diversity of both countries with a special focus on waterway habitats and wildlife. Visit Costa Rica's capital, San Jose, with its blend of Moorish and Spanish architecture before journeying to Tortuguero National Park. The jungle canals and network of estuaries and lagoons are the most important attractions in Tortuguero. Enjoy a guided boat tour through dense rainforests, spotting wildlife such as monkeys, tree sloths, river otters, crocodiles and caimans. Birdwatchers commonly see keel-billed toucans, Montezuma oropendulas, a variety of parrots and many more beautiful bird species. Plus, Tortuguero is the most important nesting site in the western Caribbean for the endangered green turtle.
Then head inland to spend two days in the Costa Rica's Arenal Volcano area. Here, you'll get to choose your own adventure, from a lava flow hike, canopy tour or horseback ride. You'll also have a chance to sample the area's many natural hot springs before flying to Panama City. Learn about this historic city, the first European city ever established on the Pacific Coast of the Americas, on a comprehensive tour.
And marvel at the Panama Canal, a massive feat of human engineering and ingenuity completed in 1914. Watch how boats traverse through the Miraflores Locks, one of the canal's three lock systems, before boarding a boat yourself to experience part of the canal crossing firsthand.
Price includes:
• 7 nights accommodations: 1 night in San Jose, 2 nights in Tortuguero, 2 nights in Arenal and 2 nights in Panama City
• Meals - Daily breakfast, 5 lunches and 2 dinners
• All on-tour transfers and transportation plus one-way flight from San Jose to Panama City
• Costa Rica sights - Visits to Tortuguero Village and the Caribbean Conservation Museum plus guided boat tour of Tortuguero National Park
• Activities - Your choice of one half-day activity in Arenal on Day 5
• Panama sights - City tour of Panama City plus partial boat crossing on the Panama Canal
Create Your Own Costa Rica Itinerary
AAA Sojourns can help you build a vacation that suits your interests and where you set the pace. Talk with your AAA Travel Counselor to begin planning which of the following options will make your journey to Costa Rica one to remember.
Choose from:
• High energy adventures such as whitewater rafting, snorkeling, hiking and zip lining
• Visits to Costa Rica's many national parks
• Nature experiences at waterfalls, on the coasts and in wildlife refuges
• Family adventures that include hikes, hot springs and tours
• Stay at all-inclusive hotels and resorts and/or those that engage in environmentally sustainable practices
Note: Additional nights in San Jose and Panama are available, subject to availability. Please inquire at time of booking.
Day 1 – Arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica
Upon arrival at the San Jose airport, you will be met and taken on a city sightseeing tour before transferring to your hotel for check-in.
Accommodation: Hotel Real Intercontinental – 1 night
Day 2 – Tortuguero
An early morning departure takes you through Carrillo National Park on a shared land and boat transfer to Tortuguero. As you wind your way through dense rainforest, keep an eye out for monkeys, tree sloths and birds. Arrive in Tortuguero in time for lunch. This afternoon visit Tortuguero Village and the Caribbean Conservation Museum.
Accommodation: Mawamba Lodge – 2 nights
Day 3 – Tortuguero National Park
This morning, explore Tortuguero's network of scenic waterways in special boats designed for better visibility in the surrounding jungle and its wildlife. (Note: A $10 per person Tortuguero Park entrance fee is not included and is payable directly at the entrance to the park.) The natural vegetation of the area progresses from swamp forests in the lowlands near the coast to tropical wetlands and forests at higher elevations further inland. Tortuguero is the most important nesting site in the western half of the Caribbean for the endangered green turtle. Nesting season is July through September. Hatching season is November and December.
Day 4 – Arenal Volcano Area
An early breakfast is followed by a boat and land transfer to Arenal, stopping en route to see the huge population of iguanas in the trees at Muelle. After check-in at the hotel, relax and enjoy the hot springs.
Accommodation: Montaña de Fuego Hotel – 2 nights
Day 5 – Arenal Activities
Choose one of the following half-day tours (included in rate):
• Arenal Hike Old Lava Flow Trails - On this outing you may observe the exotic inhabitants of Arenal National Park including toucans, monkeys, oropendolas, eyelash viper, boa and frogs. You will also have the opportunity to see lava paths, cross a stream and, if conditions permit, catch a glimpse of a shower of bright volcanic rocks. (3.5 hours)
• Canopy Tour - The tour consists of a series of platforms mounted in the trees of the nearby rainforest. You move from platform to platform using high-angle equipment and techniques. There are a variety of platforms: 2 horizontal traverses (zip lines), 2 rappels and an inclined glide from the treetops to poolside. (2 hours)
• Horseback Riding to Fortuna Waterfalls - This tour encompasses the perfect combination of light exercise: first a horseback ride to the reserve entrance, then a short hike to the falls followed by a refreshing dip in the crystalline waters at the foot of the waterfall. (4 hours)
• Arenal Suspended Bridges - Experience the rainforest from three perspectives: from the ground, from the midst of a canopy like a white-faced monkey, and high above like an eagle. Follow three kilometers of hanging bridges, one of which extends 98 meters and crosses a waterfall. (4 hours)
Later, enjoy the afternoon at your leisure.
Day 6 – Panama City Sightseeing
Transfer to San Jose to board your flight on Air Panama to the Panama City airport. Upon your afternoon arrival, a city tour takes you to the Three Cities of Panama. Panama Viejo (Old Panama) was founded in 1519 and was the first European city established on the Pacific Coast of the Americas. Learn more on a visit to the museum of Panama Vieja. The city was later destroyed by the gold-seeking English pirate Henry Morgan in the late 1600s. It was rebuilt a few years later on a more defensible peninsula and Casco Viejo (Old Crown) was born. The modern cosmopolitan areas of Panama City added a third dimension to this history-steeped city. Conclude your tour at the visitor's center of Miraflores Locks, one of the three locks that form part of the Panama Canal.
Accommodation: The Bristol Panama Hotel – 2 nights
Day 7 – Partial Panama Canal Crossing
Today observe the enormous ships crossing the locks at the Miraflores Locks. Then see this engineering marvel from a whole new prospective as we board a boat and pass through the different locks of the canal. Lunch will be served aboard the ship.
Day 8 – Depart Panama
This morning, check-out of your hotel and transfer to Tocumen International Airport for your flight home. (Note: There is a $29 departure tax for all visitors leaving by air. This tax must be purchased prior to check-in.)

Super Bowl XLVIII did not disappoint ... did not disappoint the commercials lovers, that is (sorry Broncos fans). Considering advertisers ponied up some $4 million for a 30-second spot in the middle of the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos matchup, they owed it to themselves to get it right.
From an 80s invasion of Radio Shack to Budweiser's weepy ode to a soldier's return home from war, this year's best Super Bowl commercials certainly kept us entertained as the Seahawks totally overwhelmed the Broncos.
Whatever you thought when Bruno Mars was named halftime entertainer for Super Bowl XLVIII, let's just put it aside, shall we? The singer not only shared the stage with Red Hot Chili Peppers but he opted to let a whole bunch of folks no one has ever heard of share the stage with him on one of the biggest nights of his career. I'm talking, of course, about the members of the U.S. military whose pre-taped montage introduced Mars' last song of the show.
If he was looking for a way to win America's heart, Bruno nailed it.
When you say Super Bowl I say Snacks. Super Bowl! Snacks! SUPER BOWL! SNACKS! Yes, the snacking high holy day is upon us. This weekend, people will be planning their football nosh game strategy down to the last pretzel. Only the most ambitious will enter the hallowed halls of the Super Bowl munchies elite: The Snackadium.
It's a stadium made of snacks, a beautiful thing to behold. Whether you construct those walls with crisp rice treats and fill the field with guacamole, or you go renegade with rampant vegetables, they key is to get as big and outrageous as possible. And as delicious as possible. Here are the boldest, craziest snackadiums we've seen so far. Will these be topped this Sunday? That's up to you, snackers!

Not everyone is a major sports fan. While this weekend's Super Bowl XLVIII at Jersey's MetLife Stadium may be a major event, not everyone's going to be glued to the TV with a Bud Light in hand, screaming for a first down.
But you know what everyone is a fan of? Cute dogs. I mean, how could you NOT be? Find someone who isn't a fan of adorable tail-wagging puppies and I will call them out for being Satan.
In honor of this weekend's major sporting event, take a look at these 8 almost too adorable dogs wearing jerseys. Because, well, why not?
You obviously know what this weekend is ... it's Super Bowl Sunday! The Denver Broncos are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in what should be an exciting matchup, but what we're all really concerned with is the commercials food. Chili, wings, nachos, dips, beer, it's a glutton's dream come true. What better way to kick off the biggest game of the year than by whipping up your very own chicken wings? The best part? You can do it in your slow cooker.
That's right, get a jump start on these babies early in the morning, then have them warm and juicy and ready to go when the game starts at 6:30 p.m. These wings, from Betty Crocker, have a teriyaki twist for even more flavor. So easy and delicious, you'll love the convenience of being able to use your slow cooker and get to enjoy wings that have been slowly marinating all day for five hours! Is it Sunday yet?
Oh my gosh, this video pulls at my mommy heartstrings! A man named Mike Harris recently gave his mom, a life-long Seahawks fan, the sweetest surprise when he got her tickets to see her favorite team play in the Super Bowl this year.
They'd wanted to go but quickly realized it wasn't going to be financially possible, so they gave up the dream. Then thanks to some deal sleuthing, Mike was able to make it happen.
It may be the holiday season, but it's also rainy, chilly, and occasionally gloomy, so it's no surprise if you've been craving comfort food. And easy dinners that are a departure from your average meat and potatoes fare ...
Enter this mouthwatering recipe for Baked Buffalo Chicken Pasta! It's got a little kick and a whole lotta ooey-gooey deliciousness, and take it from someone who has made it now on more than one occasion: The crowd goes wiiiild for it! Which reminds me: It'll be a good recipe to keep in your back pocket in a couple of months for Super Bowl Sunday!
Check it out ...
While the 49ers loss to the Ravens in Sunday's Super Bowl hit the team hard, that doesn't even begin to compare to the personal loss of the team's tight end, Delanie Walker. According to reports, after his aunt and uncle, Alice and Bryan Young, left the big game, they were killed in a fiery car crash.
Young tweeted the news this afternoon along with a picture of him with them: "Alice and bryan young my aunt and uncle was killed on Monday at 5 am after the super bowl by a drunk driver … we lost some good people they will be missed i love y'all" Heartbreaking.
After playing a nerd named Walter in Go Daddy's Super Bowl commercial alongside Bar Refaeli, Jesse Heiman's life has forever been changed. People are praising his gross slobbery make-me-wanna-throw-up-ASAP kiss with the model as totally awesome. Heiman has men tweeting him saying they want to be him, and women asking him to go out on dates. We're dishing on how disturbing all of this is on today's Daily Stir.
All right, let's be real here: Super Bowl commercials are the REAL deal. Zillions of people watched the big game last night, and only a fraction of them actually cared about the on-field action between the Baltimore Ravens and the 49ers. Myself, I was more into Beyonce's kickass halftime show and, well, duh, the commercials.
Sure, there were a whole lot of winners. Between Amy Poehler's Best Buy gig and the ADORABLE Budweiser Clydesdales, I was laughing then aww-ing then laughing all over again throughout the whole damn shebang. But there's one thing I couldn't help but notice during all the commercial action: the sexism.
I'm not a hardcore feminist and I get it, sex sells. The harsh reality, though, is that a lot of last night's biggest laughs came at the expense of women. Here, let's take a closer look:

SPOKANE, Wash.—An alleged shooting victim was dropped off at Holy Family hospital Tuesday morning.
The victim told officers that was shot when he went to show a man his stereo. The victim called 911 around noon on his way to the hospital. He told dispatchers that a "white guy" shot him in the abdomen.
Officers with the Spokane Police Department said they are investigating.
Neighbors near Thor and Grace told KREM 2 News they heard a gunshot earlier. Detectives entered a home in that area and detained three people. One person was arrested on an unrelated warrant. However, detectives said they are not sure if the shooting happened near Grace and Thor.
Police initially tweeted that the victim has non-life threatening injuries. Officers later said the victim was in critical condition and did have life-threatening injuries.

Cornishware Returns to Market
British tabletop classic Cornishware has been reborn! First produced in the 1920s by T.G.Green & Co, the company that made the collectible blue and white pottery classics (named for the blue sky and white-crested waves of Cornwall) fell apart in 2007. Now, some enthusiastic fans (with the right kitchenware connections) have reintroduced the British classic...
The updated version of Cornishware is designed for safe use in microwaves, ovens and dishwashers. The line includes place settings and storage crockery — from mortar and pestles, juice jugs and egg cups.
Read all about the relaunch of Cornishware and see the full product range on the T.G.Green & Co. site.
We're interested to see prices and a list of US distributors (coming soon, we hope!).
Do you collect Cornishware?
7 Comments
But where do you buy them? I don't see it on the website.
love it. don't have any, but would love it!
So cute! But I'd feel as though I'd be cheating on my first love, Heath Ceramics.
Google 'blue and white cornish pottery' or 'english cornishware' and you'll get a few sites. It's pricey, though.
My dad has collected cornishware in the past. One of the nicest pieces he has is a rare yellow/white stripe milk jug. The yellow versions are a lot harder to find than the blue, but it's such a lovely sunny yellow. It's getting very expensive to buy nowadays, which is why he's stopped collecting actively.
The problem is that it's so instantly identifiable that every flea-market trader thinks his chipped, cracked tea cup is worth $200.
I prefer www.emmabridgewater.co.uk for that classic British look in the kitchen. The Toast series is naff but the British Birds ones are lovely.
I used to collect cornishware - had loads of the stuff - including a very rare flour dredger - sold it all at a car boot sale a couple of years ago

Frank is in leathermouth and gets sued, Gerard is his lawyer...FRERARD Collab with my friend on DeviantArt
I woke up in a shitty motel room somewhere in New Jersey, or wherever my band played last. LeATHERMOUTH was taking the world by storm, and i FUCKING loved it. Stretching my arms, I noticed I smelled like sweat and cigarettes. Ew, shower time. As the cold water trickled down my tattooed body, I recalled the events of last nights show. Fans screaming along, me saying something about the corrupt society and government, flipping people off, all that. It was an adrenaline rush every time I'm on stage, normally I play guitar but thats more of a hobby, screaming and getting all my anger out. The band is a great...coping method. Grabbing the tiny shampoo, I started to wash all the grime, grease, and sweat out of my hair.
"I feel clean," I said with a smirk as I turned off the shower. Yes, I am aware that there is no one there, but I can get lonely at times.
Reaching my arm out, someone handed me a towel.
"Here," Dewees said.
"Thanks Jameeeeees...?"
"No problem midget."
I nodded, wrapping the towel around my waist. James and I are really good friends, we have the same tattoo even! I'm so used to having him around and plus this motel is complete and utter garbage, so a firm kick to the door can open one thats been locked...There is one thought that hasn't occurred to me, give me a moment, its all about to register.
"DEWEES WHY ARE YOU IN MY BATHROOM?!?!" I yelled, opening the shower curtain. "MOST IMPORTANTLY WHILST I WAS SHOWERING?!"
"Front desk needs you," he said plainly. "Something about a fan from last nights show."
"Okay. Now leave me be, I'm uncomfortable being naked with you around," I joked.
"C'mon Iero I'm not gonna rape you!"
"Uh-huh sure."
Dewees unleashed his loud laugh and cheeky grin, leaving me alone in the bathroom. Now, I can get dressed!
I stepped out of the...shower bathtub thing, and proceeded to my luggage. I had at most six shirts, three pants, two boxers, and a suit with a tie. What, I can have my fancy moments, can't I? Deciding to wear my plain white shirt and baggy blue jeans, I got dressed and headed off to the front desk.
"Hello," the overly cheery manager said with the dorkiest smile on his face. "How may I help you this fine day?"
"Uhm I was told I had a call here," I said avoiding eye contact with the creepy dude.
"OH! Yes, you are Mr. Iero?"
"That's me."
"Alright well, they didn't leave much of a message besides for you to call them back," he said slipping me a pice of paper with seven digits on it. "On this number between the hours of eight and five."
"Okay, uhm thanks..."
"Good day to you sir!"
I nodded with the biggest amount of disturbance on my face. I grabbed the paper and looked at what was written; the number and a name. Gerard Way. Sighing I pulled out my phone and checked the time, it's ten-fifteen right now so I guess I can call. I dialed in the number and pressed the device to my ear, they picked up on the third ring.
"Hello, Gerard Way Attorney at Law, Lindsey speaking," a bubbly female voice answered. Ugh as if i didn't get enough cheer from the motel manager. Wait, did she say attorney at law?
"Uhm Hi, this is Frank Iero, may I speak with Mr. Way?'
"Of course!," there was a slight pause before a male voice answered. "Hello Frank, this is Mr. Way. But PLEASE call me Gerard, Mr. Way is my father."

A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Plant type: Herbaceous perennial
Botanical name: Heuchera
Hardiness: USDA Zones (3)4 to 8(9), depending on species
Coral bells is a superb low maintenance perennial valued more for its foliage than for its delicate flowers. Multi-colored foliage is mostly basal and comes in a variety of colors, from silvery purple to lime green to peach. May be evergreen or semi-evergreen. Airy flower spikes (panicles) rise above foliage and come in pink, red and white. Flowers appear in spring to summer. Plant size ranges from 12 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide.
How to use it: In masses, for edging, as a specimen plant and in containers. Use in a mixed perennial border or in a woodland shade garden. Combine with other shade-loving plants, including hosta and impatiens.
Culture: Prefers a rich, moist but well-draining site. Some species, like H. sanguinea, don't tolerate clayey or acidic soils. Plant in full sun (North) or partial shade (South). Deadhead flowers to prolong bloom time. Provide a generous layer of mulch to help see it through winter and prevent heaving. Propagated through seed, cuttings or division. No serious pest or disease problems.
Special notes: Several growers have hybridized and selected many cultivars featuring different foliage and bloom colors. Dan Heims of Terra Nova Nursery has done significant work with tissue culture in crossing Heuchera with Tiarella to create Heucherella. Attracts hummingbirds.
Selected cultivars and species
- H. micrantha 'Palace Purple'. Excellent, durable plant. Features burgundy to dark purple foliage. May be listed under different names, including H. americana. 1991 Perennial Plant of the Year. USDA Zones 4 to 8.
- Coral bells (H. sanguinea). Native to Arizona and New Mexico. Plant size ranges from 12 to 20 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Attracts hummingbirds. Cutflower. Zones 3 to 8.
- American alumroot (H. americana). Valued for its foliage interest and durability in the landscape. Plant size is 12 to 24 inches tall with flower spikes to 36 inches tall. Zones 4 to 9.
- Cultivars include 'Amber Waves', 'Amethyst Myst', 'Cathedral Windows', 'Chocolate Ruffles' and 'Velvet Night'.

U.S. Pregnancy Rate Reaches 12-Year Low
The U.S. pregnancy rate has fallen almost continuously over the last decade and reached a 12-year low in 2009, according to a new government report. Researchers analyzed information on U.S. pregnancy rates for women ages 15 to 44 over the last two decades, with 2009 being the most recent year with data available. During that period, the U.S. pregnancy rate fell 12%, from 115.8 pregnancies per 1,000 women in 1990, to 102.1 pregnancies per 1,000 women in 2009.

The Letter2 Reviews
The letter Party was given is finally opened and Kobra gets used to having a dad.
Kobra watched unbelievably as his dead brother jolted upright, his pale blue bodie beginning to fill once more with colour as he gasped frantically for air. Doctor Deathdefying gawped as Party flung his arms round his neck,
"Dad." he whispered, before flopping back down onto the table top, semi concious. Kobra stared, dad? Deathdefying was their DAD?! No. He must of misheard his brother obviously, the very idea was preposterous. It wasn't true, it couldn't be true. Their mother told them their dad died in a showdown against Korse.
Party flicked his eyes to Kobra, a weak smirk upon his still slightly blue lips, "Hey Mikes..." Kobra's eyes started to well up with a sea of tears; Party finally remembered him. Little watery rivers began to topple down his cheeks.
"H-How i-is this possible Party? I mean I j-just saw you DIE."
Party laughed but it got caught in his throat and he coughed, he rolled his eyes.
"Nice to see you too bro." He attempted to get up, heaving himself into a sitting position, only to be pushed back down firmly by a concerned yet shocked Deathdefying.
"Don't over exert yourself, Party."
Party complained and tried to get back up. Deathdefying pushed him down again. Party sighed, finally giving in,
"Where's Frank?" He asked, frowning.
"Frank's fine, he's just resting. You, on the other hand, aren't. Just get some rest Party, please."
Party shook his head defiantly and swung his legs round swiftly, then stood up. He almost fell, Kobra Kid catching him before he hit the floor.
"Party..." He warned.
"I-I'm fine." Party stuttered, regaining his balance and standing shakily. He dipped his hand into his pocket and withdrew a crampled envolope. "I'll be in my room." he muttered. His shakey legs trembling as he left the room. Kobra went to stop him but Deathdefying held him back,
"No. Let him go."
Kobra frowned as Party left the room, wondering what his brother was hiding from him.
Party fell onto his bed and pulled on a tatted, old shirt before ripping the letter open. His eyes scanned the page, reading his mother's familiar writing, unlocking the message within...

Business Aviation Picking Up, According To Equipment Leasing & Financing Foundation Report
The Equipment Leasing & Financing Foundation has released the results of a survey of financing experts, "to reveal and analyze the collective thinking of business aircraft lenders, lessors and investors (financiers) about the future of their industry in 2013 through 2016." In general, "Financiers think the worst effects of the recession and financial crisis in 2008 are behind them and that business is picking up." The report concludes, "business aircraft will gain altitude in 2013 through 2016 and ultimately ascend to an active (if not robust) transactions market during that period."

IIP Placements in Thailand
UNESCO Bangkok/HIV Prevention and Health Promotion (HP2)
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
UNESCO Bangkok is the Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education and home to the Health Promotion and HIV Prevention Unit. The Unit provides technical, resource mobilization, and advocacy support to ten UNESCO offices in the Asia-Pacific region as they aim to engage and mobilize action on HIV and AIDS. UNESCO works closely with UNICEF, UNFPA, and UNAIDS to empower young people to prevent HIV infection and has a close focus on reaching those most affected by the epidemic (young men who have sex with men, young transgender people, young people selling sex, young people injecting drugs, and young people living with HIV). UNESCO currently co-chairs the Asia-Pacific Task Team on Young People from Key Affected Populations and is engaged in a number of other thematic task teams in the region. The IIP intern would be part of a dynamic and committed team that is committed to reducing new HIV infections, scaling up access to HIV treatment, and addressing and averting stigma, discrimination, and human rights violations of those affected by the AIDS epidemic. The IIP intern's responsibilities will include capacity development activities (support to preparations for the International AIDS Conference, and possibly regional courses/meetings on adolescents, HIV, legal issues, and/or youth leadership; engagement in meetings that may include the Joint UN Team on AIDS, inter-agency task teams on young people, as well as internal UNESCO meetings; and advocacy, public relations and media outreach, including communication efforts on different initiatives and/or development of communications materials. IIP candidates with interests in social sciences, public health (reproductive health and HIV), education and communications are encouraged to apply. Skills in any Asian language are not required but would be an asset. One placement has been created for an International Internship Program (IIP) intern. This internship is offered in partnership with the Program in Global Health and Health Policy and can be used by GHP juniors for completion of the GHP Summer Research Requirement (please check the appropriate box on your application).
Previous work responsibilities (in the words of the previous IIP intern): Analyzed general epidemiological data of each country in the Asia Pacific region. Confirmed the data with various publications released by each country and larger international organizations.

UPDATE: Hollywood Reporter on Friday afternoon says Keith Urban and Minaj are close to deals. We shall see.
I'm insulted that I haven't been asked to be on the "Idol" panel yet because it seems everyone else has!
The latest to confirm: Alanis Morrisette. She told CNN "Yes, I have been in conversations about it, and that's the degree to which I can share the info right now," Morissette told CNN. But, she added, she is open to the idea of being an "Idol" judge.
She seems very zen nowadays compared to her mid-1990s "You Oughtta Know" days. Would she be able to really give constructive critiques on the judges' dais? Who knows?
I left her off the list Wednesday simply because there were so many others floating around.
The whole Nicki Minaj rumor is still floating around though there's word the negotiations are slow going. Even AP ran a story. But who knows at this point. Speculation is rife. I wish we could move on to other things. Are there any other things to write about?
- Clay Aiken sent out Tweets earlier this week making fun of the fact that his name sounds kind of like Rep. Todd Akin: "Lets B clear- THIS Aiken RESPECTS a womans right 2 choose. Maybe @reptoddakin could use some lessons from me on the female body! Haha #irony"
- Chart check. Kelly Clarkson's "Dark Side" doesn't appear to be doing particularly well on the top 40 charts and is currently stuck at No. 23. It's at No. 7 on the Hot AC chart. Phillip Phillips' "Home" has snuck into the top 40 at 39 but is up to No. 14 on the Hot AC chart. It's the top Soundscan digital sales leader again among "Idol" singers with 141K more sold and 1.2 million overall. On the country chart, Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" is at No. 16. Casey James' "Crying on the Suitcase" is at No. 32. Mandisa's "Good Morning" is at No. 24 at the Christian AC chart, after peaking at No. 20. Jason Castro's "Only a Mountain" has debuted at No. 38.

Rodney, you should have ran with the Clay Aiken tweet as the lead in. It would generate more interest than yet another person being courted by Idol.
Yet again, you'd think that Idol was the only singing reality show competition on television. Masterful.
August 24th, 2012
10:57 am
I like alanis although I don't know her personally. To me, until we actually see all these candidates attempting to judge on Idol, we have no idea how good or bad they may be at it. Maybe Idol should do what "Live with Kelly" did and try out each candidate on a live show.

That's a cool idea Deirdre.

"It's [going to] happen man – Kanye wants to do [American Idol] and Kim want [him] to do it, too," a source told HollywoodLife.
"[It isn't] final though, but he [wants] to do it badly and Kim [wants] him to do it, and whatever [she wants,] she gets. So watch out…[Kim's] excited though…and [she's] pushing [Kanye] hard to do the [show.] And you know [she's going to] be there with [him] if [it goes] right."
The source also claims Kanye will wow audiences if and when he decides to sign a contract. "[He's going to] blow [American Idol] up this year, feel me? [He's going to] come with it and people will love him," the insider adds.

I'd rather have Nicki than Kanye. I'd rather have a broken toaster oven than Kanye. I'd rather have a Beluga whale than Kanye, or a Narwhal! How cool would that be for Idol to have a Narwhal as a judge! GRRRRR I have a horn! That would be the best thing ever.
August 24th, 2012
12:11 pm
I can deal with Alanis. I've seen her on TV before and heard her interviewed on the radio a few years back and I like the way she comes off. And if that would put the Nicki Minaj thing to rest, even better. I was getting really discouraged when all the Minaj talk started. She, to me, is just pure trash and I would never want to hear a word that comes out of her mouth. And as far as the other Judges, Idol has always had the two guys/one girl (except Ellen) format. If they are going to stick with two guys, it really does seem to me that we are going to have a four person judging panel. Kanye West?!? Dear god no!!! that's the best we could do. After that Taylor Swift thing, that guy should have just faded off into oblivion. Another big mouth ignoramus. Why not get some respectable people on the panel? Why does it have to be all these people that come with all this controversy attached to them. That is not what your "typical" Idol viewer needs to tune in. That is not what "we" want and it will more than likely turn us off. If we're going four, then get Alanis over Minaj, and take Paisley and Pharrell (if they are still options), or one or the other, doesn't matter which, if they are only going three. They both seem like good guys with success in the industry and both bring something different to the table. And they don't seem like big mouth, morons. Dream people would still be Connick and Perry, but that seems to be just a pipe dream. Whatever happens, I hope it happens soon.

I have to give Idol credit for milking the story to death. I'm at the point where I don't care who they get. Judge Judy? Judge Wapner? Larry King? Billie Jean King? or The Burger King? The only thing interesting is the responses. Although I do like Alanis and Lenny Kravitz. My guess is they know who they want and probably have them ranked in the order who they want. With Mariah and the dollars she's getting they probably are looking to pay the other judges less. Mariah would probably through a hissy fit if someone makes more than her IE P. Diddy. Personally The Voice and X-Factor can't get here soon enough for me!
I'm ready to hear singing voices not Idol judge choices!!!!

August 24th, 2012

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do not give this gig to NMinaj…PRETTY PLEASE!!!
Hi, everyone!

Hey, Pitchy. So what you're saying is you do not want Nicki Miinaj?
August 24th, 2012
12:36 pm
In terms of today's rap / hip hop / pop hop music………..there is NO producer better than Kanye West. He is definitely one of THE MOST talented producers in this generation of rap.
If you accuse him of anything, acuuse him for being brutally honest about his feelings at the moment. Accuse him of bad timing for being honest about his feelings. But the guy knows what he's doing in the music business. As a judge………….best believe he WILL be as honest as Simon was about his assessment of contestants.
If it's true that there's serious consideration of choosing Kanye, I look forward to it. I expect there wouldn't be a dull moment. Maybe a bit polarizing for those who don't care for him and those that do………but polarizing nonetheless.
August 24th, 2012
12:38 pm
But G, wouldn't it still be better if Idol had a Narwhal instead of Kanye?
August 24th, 2012
12:48 pm
G, the only problem I have with Kanye is Kim will be front and center. However they'll probably be history by the time Idol starts. I would agree he would honest in his assessment and considering Idol will probably have a country judge it would bring balance. Mariah, Kanye, Alanis and Brad Paisley would give some balance from a genre standpoint.
August 24th, 2012
12:48 pm
Speaking of Judge Judy…I saw in my mom's tv guide that she makes 45 million dollars a year. Take that, Ryan Seacrest. I'd do that job. I can be irascible and annoying! I can tell people to shut up! I can even fake the Long Island accent!
August 24th, 2012
1:17 pm
@bknsty14 – I agree with that comment about how Kanye West did Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMA Awards. Taylor being the rightful winner, and Kanye was very rude to Taylor… interrupting her acceptance speech. He got booed by the audience… Beyonce pretty much condemned him for being rude to Taylor… and Jay Leno showed Kayne some "tough love", on the debut of Leno's short-lived primetime show.
Kanye is no stranger to controversey… In 2005, he made a politically incorrect statement during the Hurricane Katrina telethon special… which NBC censored. Given that Kanye apparently has the gumption to say things that may not be politically correct, for shock and awe value… more power to him. No puns intended.
I'm okay with Mariah as Idol judge… and would okay with Alanis being an Idol judge. It's still unclear if Randy will be returing to the judge's panal in season 12. Other than not wanting Kanye as a judge… I don't wish to see Nikki Minaj as Idol judge. Don't really care for Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, or Nick Jonas judging on Idol. I'd be okay with Brad Paisley or Pharrell Williams… or another big name in the music recording industry.
August 24th, 2012

I'm with you blkstyn14. Don't think she's a tramp cuz I don't know her, but she definitely annoys me….NO, DO NOT WANT HER!
August 24th, 2012
1:18 pm
Hi Deirdre, isn't Judge Judy single? I wonder if' she'd be interested in a slightly younger man?
45 million a year? Ryan should hire her agent! I should hire her agent!
August 24th, 2012
1:20 pm
DanJ – I think Kanye and Kim will be with us for some time.
August 24th, 2012
1:24 pm
LOL@JT. Hey, just because Narwhal carries a better tune out of his piehole than pp, that doesn't mean it would be a better judge than Kanye………..I think.
@Dan. Man, anybody would be better than Nicki. I like that balanced lineup with Brad Paisley and Alanis. I remember when she first started………..dang how time flies.
August 24th, 2012
1:26 pm
Say it ain't so Pitchy! I'm so sick of the Kardashian's!!!!!
Well Randy Travis got arrested AGAIN! This time fighting in a church parking lot with the estranged husband of his girlfriend! Can we just lock him up till he gets help? Rehab, jail I don't care. This man has some major issues.
August 24th, 2012
1:27 pm
If judges had to stand up the entire time, with the camera angle towards the stage……..my panel would be JLO, Nicki Minaj, and Kim K hands down. Aahhh yesss………..
August 24th, 2012
1:29 pm
"Given that Kanye apparently has the gumption to say things that may not be politically correct, for shock and awe value…"
I give it he has "gumption," but I think he was hurting so much from the death of his mother and other things going on in his life that he had a "I don't give a isht" attitude. Walking around with a Hennessy bottle at an award show proved that. He's slowing calming down and working on his craft. I'm beginning to like him more and more.
August 24th, 2012
1:34 pm
Randy Travis got arrested AGAIN??? Say it ain't so!!! I liked how he spoke about his latest DUI with jokes, admittance and remorse. Now, he goes and acts a fool again. Some people can't be saved, especially if they're not trying to save themselves.

DanJ – Judge Judy is happily married. Her husband also had a tv judging show but didn't fare as well as his wife. His show went off the air and hers thrived.
August 24th, 2012
1:42 pm
Most of the would be judges would be a drastic contrast from what Idol has had since Simon left. Idol has the chance to breathe some fresh air into a stale show, it would be refreshing. Nicki and Joe are the only two I don't want to see.
August 24th, 2012
1:51 pm
Well Pitchy, a relationship with Judge Judy probably wouldn't fare well for me. I've seen her pound the gavel and it's pretty scary! lol

Not sure if this has been said, but the problem with NMinaj is that she is TACKY, TACKY, TACKY.
Lady GaGa she's not. I understand artists need to carve out stage persona, but her tackiness is a complete turnoff! AND, she needs to sing in her natural voice because she really can sing.
August 24th, 2012

Eliminations are beginning at last. Miley Cyrus is no longer being considered to fill a judge's seat on AI.
August 24th, 2012

Well, we ought to be able to milk eliminations for a while!
August 24th, 2012
3:45 pm
I bet somewhere Idol has hired a focus group to review the blogs to gauge what viewers are saying.
Rodney should throw up a poll and list all the would be judges and who we think should join Mariah so IF any of the Idol Powers that be read this blog they would have our input although they would probably go the opposite way.
August 24th, 2012
4:09 pm
That's too much like right, DanJ!
August 24th, 2012
4:24 pm
Rodney! We want a poll!!!!!! List all the judge candidates and let us choose 3!
August 24th, 2012
4:39 pm
The past few polls have not let me vote. I would love to get that fixed. I can see the choices, but it wont' let me send them.
August 24th, 2012
4:49 pm
I think Tory Lane would be a great choice for American Idol judge. She knows her stuff and she would bring in a lot of new viewers too!
August 24th, 2012
4:57 pm
Bye everyone. Happy Weekend!
August 24th, 2012
5:01 pm
Thanks for the poll, Rodney!
August 24th, 2012
5:02 pm
Um, the poll will only let me pick one. I know, I know, I'm never happy!
August 24th, 2012
5:21 pm
I had to pick "Anybody else" for one selection because I didn't see Narwhal as a choice.
And yes I voted for Nicki, if Mariah is "pushing" for someone that means the diva is already in full bloom for Idol. We need to counter it with another strong diva. Clay Aiken, Nicki Minaj, someone needs to counter the diva. She's already acting worse than Jennifer Lopez.
Why isn't Clay Aiken in the running, he stood up for himself nicely on Celebrity Apprentice. He also knows his stuff.
August 24th, 2012
5:54 pm
My other two picks were Alanis and Adam along with Pharrell.
August 24th, 2012
5:55 pm
Clay would be a popular choice, I think.
I looked up narwhal to see just what kind of creature it is. whoa!
August 24th, 2012

Good for you, D! I voted for Alanis and Adam too.

A Lincoln man is taking part in a nation-wide adventure Saturday. Tyler Morrison will run 20 miles as part of the Million Dollar Marathon to raise cancer awareness.
The Million Dollar Marathon is a 4,000-mile relay across America that aims to raise $1,000,000 for cancer research. It started on the west coast and is making its way through Nebraska.
On Saturday morning, 22-year-old Morrison will run from Grand Island to Aurora in honor of his grandmothers and friend who have lost the battle to cancer.
"I really think that their spirit and the motivation from that is really going to push me through these 20 miles," Morrison said.
Morrison said he actually has not been training much for the marathon. He said what is most important is knowing that he will cross that 20-mile mark to raise money for cancer research.
"The fact that I can go out and run and have so many people see that it's a way to donate money," Morrison said. "Honestly, it's unbelievable."
But the Million Dollar Marathon is not the only way Morrison is involved in raising awareness. He and his father run a non-profit organization called "Caring Fuel " that helps families visit their children in special facilities.
"It's really cool that I can support so many different things and then do what I love," Morrison said.
Morrison said he hopes to raise over $5,000. If you would like to donate to Morrison and the marathon, click here.
