Mark talks Michael Jackson, Thanksgiving Dance Wars and DWTS with Bethenny
Mark talks Michael Jackson, Thanksgiving Dance Wars and DWTS with Bethenny
Mark talks with Newswatch 12 about Dancing With the Stars and his recent achievement of becoming a nonsmoker.
Mark Ballas has wowed audiences for years as a pro-dancer on "Dancing With The Stars." The 27-year-old, who has salsa'ed with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Bristol Palin, recently appeared on Season 17 of the show and plans to continue to compete for years to come.
But did you know Ballas was raised in London or that he watches countless hours of TV in his free time?
He chatted with HuffPost Celebrity yesterday (Dec. 4) and revealed that and a whole lot more while taking our #nofilter challenge.
When's the last time you cried?
Two times actually. Once during "Les Mis" the movie. Like, sobbing! Sobbing, during "Les Mis." And then when I went to see Celine Dion. [Laughs] I went to see Celine Dion in Vegas and it was ah-mazing. She started singing the "Beauty and the Beast" song and it was a wrap. Yeah, it was really incredible.
What's your guiltiest pleasure?
I'm a horrible TV junkie. I finished "Breaking Bad," I'm caught up on "Walking Dead," I finished "Game of Thrones" and I started "Homeland" like two weeks ago and I just finished Season 1. I'm behind, I'm catching up.
What's the silliest thing you've ever lied about?
When we were living in London, Derek [Hough] and I stole my mom's car when he was 15 and I was 14. And in England you have to be 17 to drive, and we stole the car. And my mom wasn't in town so we thought, "We are not getting busted." But when she got back, she went to the local dance store to buy shoes and the guy who sells the shoes -- they're friends -- and he was like, "I didn't know your boys passed their driving test?" So that night she came home and she was like, "Did you steal the car?" And we were like, "No." And then Julianne [Hough] did us in, she totally told her what we did. [Laughs]
If you could commit a crime and get away with it, what would it be?
I'd like to probably reenact like "Ocean's 13" and like, rob the Bellagio. Just like abseil down through the roof, through the lasers, with like a team of all my best friends. That would be awesome.
What's one thing you do when you're alone that you wouldn't do in front of someone else?
I tickle my own arm. Like, when I'm at home alone, I tickle myself, like this, [brushes his fingers up and down his forearm]. But usually if I have company, it's like, 'Tickle my arm, girl!" [laughs]
What happens in your recurring dream?
I have a daughter. It's weird. I always have a daughter with me. I have dreams where I'll just be like doing something and then I have like, this daughter. It's interesting. I've already picked out names for her and everything.
What's the working title of your autobiography?
"This S--t Is Crazy, But I Like It."
Is it okay to recline your seat on an airplane?
Absolutely, you have to recline your seat. Sometimes there's more space where if the person in front of you leans back in your space, cool, but when it's really tight, I usually recline my seat. The worst is kids that recline their seats and they're shaking and wiggling.
When do you feel most anxious?
Um, every day. Just in life, I'm anxious. I'm a busybody so I'm anxious when I have a day off. I need to learn how to have a day off. During the season and when I'm recording or playing gigs or dancing, I'm like, "Ugh, I'm so tired I want to have a day off." And then I get one and I'm just like, fidgety.
What or who is overrated right now?
Twerking. Twerking is so overrated like, stop. Everyone's got to stop. Twerking is so old, too. My grandma talks about twerking and I'm like, no! No, grandma!
Is a good friend hard to come by?
Oh yeah, especially in L.A. I feel like in cities like L.A., people are always trying to look for the next big thing. Like to push themselves forward. And I think a true friend is someone that has your back when you're up, when you're down and someone that will stay engaged in conversation, who's not looking to see who else they can go and talk to, I have no time for people like that. My mom's side of the family is from Liverpool in England and that's just some really tough down-to-earth people and I was just raised to not have mentality for people like that.
Describe one time you thought "This is harder than it looks."
Wakeboarding. I used to skateboard, and I was like, good at it and I got in the water and I was like, "Ah, this is going to be a piece of cake." And for the first hour and a half, I was just like, "No." I was so sore. I got up the next day, I was so frustrated and Derek was like, "You have to come wakeboarding man, you got to come wakeboarding!" And he was like, boop! [Up on the board] And I was like, "Why can't I get up!" But I got it the next day. It's a lot harder than it looks.
Tell us a joke.
I won't tell you my usually go-to jokes because they're very, very dirty. But this one is, "What do you call a fish with no eye? A f-s-h." [Laughs] That one is great, especially after a few drinks.
What are you most afraid of?
Dying in bed alone. Or being torn limb from limb by a shark. But I love sharks, like shark week is my jam. But man, the thought of all that power.
When do you feel most at peace?
Watching "Homeland?" [Laughs] No, I'm most at peace when I'm with my family. I just went home for Thanksgiving and we got together all of us just dancing and listening to music and talking. We're loud and rambunctious and there's over 20 of us and we're Greek and Hispanic, so we're a rowdy group. I just feel so comfortable there. And my best friends, too. I say I can count my really good friends on one hand and when I'm around them I always feel super comfortable. Family and friends are everything. Without them, there's just no point.
What's the most unusual thing you have in your purse/wallet?
I have a picture of my dad in high school. I think that it was on his 50th birthday that my uncle laid out these hilarious pictures of my dad and I was like, "This is a cracker!" (Editor's Note: Cracker is British slang for something that you think is very funny.) So I kept it, and the other day I was going through my wallet and getting rid of like receipts and stuff and I found it and he's 54 now, so I've had it in my wallet for four years. It's really funny.
What sense would you most be afraid to lose?
Sight, probably. Sight and hearing too, because I don't want to not hear music. I couldn't do that.
Do you think it would be more difficult to dance without sound or without sight?
Probably without sight because I'm so experienced now. But if I was in a dance, and say you put some ear muffs on to cancel out the sound, and I was in a group, I could keep it going by looking at the others and just feeling the vibrations on the floor. You can feel like the beats. But if you're blind, yeah, no.
By the looks of his moves (and stamina) you would never know Ballas is a smoker. He has teamed up with the new program BluePrint to Quit to kick his smoking habit and regain a healthier lifestyle.
"I've been smoking on and off since I was 15 or 16," he told HuffPost Celebrity. "Dancers think they're invincible and then you reach 25 and you pass your prime as a dancer, and you really do start to feel little body changes."
"Blueprint is really great because it offered me a routine," he continued, explaining how they helped him quit smoking. "It gave me a really strong program to follow, it gave me a target, it gave me goals and it wasn't just based off of pure will power and discipline."
For more on Blueprint to Quit, visit their website.
He sings. He dances. He doesn't smoke.
You may recognize Mark Ballas' name. He is on the wildly popular Dancing With the Stars and has won multiple times. The DWTS pro sat down with TheCelebrityCafe.com to talk about his partnership with Blueprint to Quit, his singing career and dancing.
Ballas joined DWTS in its fifth season after retiring from professional dancing. While on DWTS, Ballas has had dance partners from Christina Millian to Kim Kardashian and Bristol Palin. He has won the mirrored ball trophy twice, in season eight and six.
In 2011, Ballas released HurtLoveBox, his first album. He is planning to release a new record sometime in 2014. He has also had guest-starring roles in Melissa and Joey and Samantha Who.
Following his success, he partnered up with Blueprint to Quit to finally quit smoking. The 27-year-old said that he began smoking around age 16 and had continued on and off throughout his adult life.
Ballas spoke about his journey with smoking, his past dance career and future goals. He even talked dance battles and feuds. (And it's not with Julianne!)
TheCelebrityCafe.com: Can you tell me about your partnership with Blueprint to Quit?
Mark Ballas: We started working together about six months ago. The program has been really amazing. I've been a smoker on and off since I was 16 years old. Growing up in Europe, it was part of the lifestyle. I've tried to quit in the past. I've done well on my own at times but I always ended up going back to it. The Blueprint is great. It is kind of like how I dance and train for something. I stick to a routine, therefore it encourages discipline. The most helpful part about doing it is when I use the Nicoderm CQ patch. I just put it on in the morning and go about my day. I can dance and not worry about it. I don't have to think about doing anything else during the day. It just kept me focused. It has been really great. I feel a lot better, especially doing what I do for a living. It really has been awesome and life changing.
TCC: Did you use the Nicoderm patch before the partnership or did you use it after the company approached you?
MB: It was after the partnership. Once we started working together, they put me on their program. There are three different ways you can do it too. You can do the patch, the gum or lozenge. I just thought, because I have to move around all day, especially when I'm dancing, the patch is the best way to go. I can put it on in the morning, take it off at night before bed. You don't have to worry about it. You just keep repeating the same thing every day.
TCC: How did your smoking affect your dancing?
MB: When I was younger it wasn't as noticeable, but when I got a little bit older, I'm 27 now, I started to see a difference. It affects your breathing and stamina. It affects your dancing at the pace I dance at.
When I started taking on the Blueprint and finally admitting to the quit, my breathing was better and I was able to dance longer. It was like how I used to feel when I was younger. That is something that I need and have to have with me when I'm dancing so much during the day. On the show, we'll be going for 10-12 hours a day. It is definitely something that keeps me going.
TCC: You released an album in 2011, did you notice that your smoking affected that at all, vocally?
MB: Yes. For me it wasn't as much as when I was dancing. I would feel it. And of course, it's not great for your voice, but I think that the main thing it affected in me was stamina.
TCC: DWTS ended a few weeks ago. What are your plans while the show isn't on?
MB: When the show is not on I am obviously enjoying holiday time. I am eating food that I can't typically eat. That is pretty awesome. I just finished my new record. We are hopefully going to roll it out next year at some point. I was just kind of setting up for the new single that was coming out and video too. I have played a lot of shows with my band. It has been really, really awesome. This new record is going to be something else. It is my first full studio album; the last were just acoustic fun stuff. This is the one. I am excited.
TCC: How would you describe your music?
MB: Relatable, catchy, funky, it makes you want to move but it is also about things you can relate to. It is all produced, mostly, on live instruments. There is a horn section on there. I wrote and co-wrote the whole record. It is just fun, upbeat and catchy. Another word I have been using is unique, it has a whole blend of styles. It has funk, pop, there is a little Latin flare in there since I grew up playing guitar. It has a really cool vibe.
TCC: Who would you like to duet with on your album?
MB: John Mayer, Bruno Mars, Ellie Goulding, if he were still alive, Michael Jackson, Ed Sheeran.
TCC: What about your dream dance partner?
MB: I get that question a lot. I used to say Jennifer Aniston but I'm on the Ellie Goulding thing right now. It would be her.
TCC: If you were in a dance battle for your life and you had to pick three people to be on your team, who would be on your team and why?
MB: 100% Derek Hough would be on my team. Gene Kelly would be on there too and Michael Jackson.
TCC: Really?
MB: We would kill everybody! Me, Derek, Gene and Michael Jackson- that would be awesome!
TCC: What is your song of choice?
MB: That's really good. That's a great question.
TCC: It is Hunger Games dance style.
MB: I'm going to go with "Working Day and Night" by Michael Jackson.
TCC: Christina Millian went home before Bill [Engvall] even though he, consistently, had lower scores throughout the entire season-
MB: We went home before Bill.
TCC: I know! What about that?
MB: Why? Here's the thing. A lot of people say Bill blah blah blah- first off, Bill is awesome. Obviously you guys voted for him. It is viewer's choice. The judges can do their part and score them fairly but at the end of the day it comes down to viewer votes. If people don't pick up the phone. Everyone is like "I don't understand why you and Christina went home" and I'm like "Did you vote" and they're like "no…" and then there you go.
TCC: Was she a dancer before the show?
MB: No. She did a little bit of cheerleading before but she wasn't, by any means, a professional dancer - like Corbin. Corbin had a lot of experience.
TCC: Do you think that it is fair to bring in celebrities that have had previous dance training?
MB: Absolutely. I always bring this up in debate. There is no rule. It is not Dancing With the Inexperienced Stars, it is Dancing With the Stars and it is virtually impossible to find 12 people in the entertainment industry that don't have dance experience. If you're an actor, singer, or performer it is more than likely that you have done a little bit of dancing - if it is for a role or growing up doing theater. I think this has turned into a stereotype where the show is about dancing with people who have no experience dancing. That's not in the rulebook. That has never been in the rulebook. Of course it can seem unfair but blah, blah, blah, but you've seen some of the best dancers, AKA Christina Millian and Sabrina Bryan, you've seen loads of great dancers go out early. At the end of the day, if you have dance experience it really doesn't come into factor. I've seen so many great people go out first. It is all about how you work with your partner and if you have a fan base as well.
TCC: Who do you think has had the most growth when dancing?
MB: So many. They've all been really good. Shawn Johnson has been amazing. If you would have seen her on day one. She was always natural but, in the end, she was incredible. Kathie Jenkins too. I've had so many really great partners. Aly Raisman too. At the beginning she could not count music at all by the end of it she was making it through routines.
TCC: Who is your dance influence?
MB: Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, my mom and dad- just those right there. Justin Timberlake has got some good stuff going on.
TCC: He would be cool on DWTS.
MB: If he did it, we might as well throw in the towel.
TCC: How do you deal with the critiques from judges that you don't think are fair?
MB: At the end of the day, you can complain and say stuff. But, once they give you a number, that's it. You can't do anything. You just have to grit your teeth and go on with it. You have to be somewhat creative in an individual way the next week. Of course there are times when it is super frustrating when you're working that hard and you come in the day and there like "well.." There are so many creative routines on the show that just get killed by the judges. It is annoying. At the end of the day, it is up to the fans. The judges are only three people. We have millions of people watching the show. That's why we do it.
TCC: Do you choreograph all of your dances?
MB: I do.
TCC: Tell me one day of Dancing With the Stars.
MB: At its highest velocity, it would be rehearsal at 9:00. The first shift could be between four and five hours. Then lunch break. There might be a wardrobe fitting. Go to CBS, pick out wardrobe, do fittings, make sure the dress is correct. There will be a creative meeting with one of the guys who are in charge of the props and one guy who is in charge of the lighting. You have to make sure all of your band edits are correct and talk to the band editor. When that is on track then you can go back to rehearsal and rehearse another four, five or six hours until you're completely ready. It is a full, full day. It is so crazy. You get to eat, take breaks and do other things at the same time. Sometimes you have 2-3 dances a week instead of just one. It is a hectic schedule. When you are in it, when you have a partner who is going to last you in the long haul, you have to work.
TCC: Which dance is the hardest dance? Which dance do you need to spend the most time on, just to really get it down?
MB: It depends on the celebrities. Like some are more inclined to ballroom and others to Latin. It depends on their body type and what they find natural.
TCC: What's your favorite?
MB: I like the jive. The jive is fun. It is also really fun when you get to the freestyle round too.
TCC: Your father [Corky Ballas] was a dancer so you grew up around dancing. Is that what influenced you to be a dancer or did you come upon that on your own.
MB: My mom and dad were both dancers. They were world champions together. I guess you could say it was in the family. I came into it that way. I was never pushed into it. I made the decision that I wanted to do it myself. They didn't tell me, "you're going to dance." One day, when I was about 10, I decided that I wanted to dance.
TCC: What do you do in your free time? If you have free time outside of your album and DWTS?
MB: I am dealing with the record and playing shows. When I do manage to squeeze some relaxation time, I am a huge TV junkie. I just figured that out in the last few months. I am addicted to Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Homeland,The Walking Dead. I love it. Especially when I'm traveling because I have the iPad that gets service. So I can watch it when I'm traveling.
TCC: Who would you consider your mentor in dancing?
MB: Honestly, my mom. She trained me. She was my coach.
TCC: Are you planning on doing another season of DWTS?
MB: It depends if they ask me back in February, we shall see then.
TCC: You've been on the show since season five. Do you ever think you'll get tired of it?
MB: No. Every season is a different challenge. It is always fun to take on a different person because every person is a different character. It's not like you are going out with the same person every time. I enjoy the process. If you have someone who is eager to learn and is somewhat natural and is ready to understand what the challenge is, it's a blast. It is an awesome, unique situation to be in as a dancer. I think it doesn't really get any better as a dancer. I am super grateful to be here. I don't think something as awesome as this could ever get tiresome.
TCC: How did you get onto the show?
MB: I quit competitive dancing because I couldn't compete and do the show at the same time because the time frames don't match up. So, when they heard I quit competing, I got a call. They knew I could dance, I just needed to do an onscreen interview. Myself and Derek [Hough] both got asked to do it at the same time.
TCC: There have been rumors that you were feuding with Derek's sister, Julianne, is that true?
MB: No.
TCC: Maybe she can be on the other side of your dance battle. That would be an interesting way to take care of the feud.
MB:There was no feud. That's just press blowing that up. She's like my little sister. We went out that night. She was just being funny and I know her sense of humor. It was just blown up out of proportion.
TCC: Back to the smoking, it there anything else you'd like to say about Blueprint to Quit?
MB: I just love the company and want to encourage people to checkout the website. If they want to quit, New Year is around the corner. You can find all of the info at Walmart.com/BlueprintToQuit and quit! Do it! Do it for New Years. Make a promise to yourself. Live a better lifestyle. It doesn't matter if you are young or if you are an older person, if it can work for me then it can work for anybody. You just gotta do it. You'll live a healthier lifestyle, you'll feel better. It is a really great thing to take on. I feel better. With New Years around the corner, make a resolution. Your friends, your family, your siblings or whoever will be happy you're doing it. You'll just feel better.
TCC: What would you tell a 14-year-old boy who is being pressured into his first cigarette. The other kids are telling him to try it, do it and that it is cool. What would you tell him?
MB: I would say, "no! It is not cool." I would say that it is a trap. Sure you'll start with one then you'll have two and then you start buying it and spending a lot of money a year on it. It is just unhealthy. In England, a lot of people start smoking young. I picked it up when I was about 16. Looking back, I wish I hadn't. It's not cool. It's not awesome. Luckily I didn't have people pressuring me. I was just around people who did it. If someone is pressuring you, it is your own decision, but don't do it. I would encourage any young person just not to get on it. It is nasty. There is no point in going down that road. It's never really cool. I understand the curiosity of it. That cute girl from high school or college isn't going to walk up to you and say, "you smoke, cool!"

See All
One of Australia's most popular and distinguished actors, Geoffrey Rush came to the attention of the international community in 1996 with his performance as pianist David Helfgott in Shine (1996). Rush won an Academy Award for Best Actor, Golden Globe, and Australian Film Institute Award for his work, and he subsequently began appearing in films that would further make him known to audiences all over the world.
A Queensland native, Rush was born in Toowoomba on July 6, 1951. After taking an arts degree from the University of Queensland, he began his theater career at Brisbane's Queensland Theatre Company. In addition to honing his skills with the classics, Rush lived in Paris for two years, where he studied pantomime at the Jacques Lecoq School of Mime. After returning to Australia, the actor resumed his stage work, at one point co-starring in Waiting for Godot with former roommate Mel Gibson. He spent much of the early '80s as part of director Jim Sharman's Lighthouse troupe and he also began working in film; his debut came in the 1981 Hoodwink, which also featured a young Judy Davis. Rush continued to appear in Australian films and on the stage, directing a number of theatrical productions in addition to acting in them. His big international break came in the form of the aforementioned Shine; following the adulation surrounding his performance as the unbalanced piano prodigy, Rush began to garner substantial roles in a number of high-profile projects. First was Gillian Armstrong's Oscar and Lucinda (1997), in which he played Oscar's great-grandson. The following year the actor drew raves for his work in Elizabeth, which featured him as the Queen's casually sinister confidant, and Shakespeare in Love, for which he again donned tights, this time to play a debt-ridden theater owner. His work in that film scored him his second Oscar nomination, this time for Best Supporting Actor. The same year, he could also be seen as the dastardly Inspector Javert in Bille August's adaptation of Les Miserables.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A Colorado Springs Baskin-Robbins was held up Sunday evening, the second robbery at a Baskin-Robbins in the city in just two days.
The first one was robbed Friday on North Circle The most recent one is off of Stetson Hills on the city's east side.
The descriptions of the two suspects are different, so it doesn't look like the same man is targeting the ice cream shops.
Just after 8 p.m. Sunday, a man walked into the shop carrying a duffel bag and demanded money. He got some cash and then took off.
Police say the crook didn't have a weapon and no one was hurt.
The store closed for the night after the robbery.
The suspect in Sunday night's robbery is described as a thin black man, standing about 5-foot-7.
If you know anything about this robbery, or the other Baskin-Robbins that was hit, call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Dry Soda
Filed under: Dining
Dry Soda is a soda for foodies, the carbonated equivalent of a fine wine. Or, at least, it wants to be. The all-natural, lightly sweetened sodas come in unique flavors that are meant to compliment foods. There are four flavors, Kumquat, Lavender, Lemongrass and Rhubarb. Suggested pairings include:
- Kumquat -- clean citrusy flavor with a high acidity. Versatile and pairs well with salmon, white fish, risotto, duck, sweet leafy greens and oysters.
- Lavender -- lively with a lavender flavor and low acidity. Pairs well with cheeses, pork, desserts and chocolate.
- Rhubarb -- fruity and tart with a high acidity and tartness. Bold, bright flavor pairs well with veal, cassoulet, red meats (including hamburgers) and winter vegetables.
- Lemongrass -- bright, floral and grassy, with a medium acidity. Pairs well with Asian-inspired foods, spicy dishes, sushi, goat cheese and asparagus.
The sodas range from 50-70 calories per bottle, so they could serve as an alternative to wine for those who want to watch their calories as well as their alcohol intake. Price: $25 per dozen.

They wanted to play it down big league we -- to help to use this so called rebels you know the rebels a wonderful rebels and everybody talks about it that they wouldn't.
And they killed our ambassador -- other of our people.
At its disgraceful and what they have done very successfully is they've delayed.
That is until after the election -- the election goes through the president's elected this would have been very very embarrassing after all the help we gave and if they kill our people.
This would have been very embarrassing before the election so it descends from a democratic sense from the Democratic Party since some.
-- getting the president elect -- cents.
You certainly have to say they did their job they got him elected.
The CAA key to the conclusion.
-- they dates that they said with the conclusion was.
And then the State Department objected are you disappointed that CIA would acquiesce like that I wondered how many other reports have been sanitized for political gain.
Well it's down to -- to like everybody's -- did the same thing there were all of there was a party line you know wasn't one person there was a party line.
They -- sort of take it was a protest that was just a protest not a big deal people that died.
And all of a -- that you know the amazing thing this was never -- really resonated it did resonate.
-- the voters it really -- that actually I think that what is Mitt Romney who as we all know what he's a wonderful man but.
And that's -- debate he didn't make a big.
You know it all that was the most shocking thing of the entire election cycle I think.
Well I almost fell out of my seat again I thank you add to add I was like Jesus and this was a big deal to me and it was a big deal to some people.
But he's sort of almost acknowledge the president just doing the right thing -- -- good.
I did not go down swinging and -- -- did not swing at all in the final I think what happened was that and then.
Then preceding debate when it was brought up -- that president had never called a terror and Candy Crowley said oh yes he did.
In the rose garden and I think Mitt Romney possibly got scared at how the media would react to him because remember in that press conference right after Ben -- happen.
The media made the whole story about.
Mitt Romney and the way he responded so maybe that was part of it in the meantime who would you fire over this or do you have enough information yet secretary of state formerly.
Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice UN ambassador or President Obama.
Our dependence on which perspective if I'm Obama and about the Democrats you're just sort of say they did a good job they gotta -- the election.
You know they played this thing down so much that it wasn't a big deal.
But I'd like to see what happens I will say -- I'll say it again it's really a much bigger deal right now that it was a number of months ago before the election and you know that's spoke with -- -- a bad thing -- bad thing is somebody get elected that this could have really had a huge impact on the election had been brought up and -- -- they've made a big it is.
Especially because Donald Trump.
It's the same policy in Syria and hot and live improvisation.
No there's no master plan there's no pre thought.
That's what we're dealing with the situation we are in Syria.
Our red line that the president ever lived at -- at the microphone that even his own advisors were shocked that he put it down.
When that line is crossed we have no back up now we look bad not as an administration -- as a country would we.
Either way if you look at what's going noted Iraq if you look at what's going on.
Anywhere that were involved were a joke where -- stopped let's face it.
Well let's see -- you know it looks like this could have lasting impact on the presidential candidacy of Hillary will find out more as we hear it on Wednesday.
Meanwhile the number came out the unemployment number Donald on Friday was -- seven point 5%.
And that looks better -- down for months seven point six but here's the interesting thing.
The number of part time workers increased to 278000.
Now there are close to.
Eight million people who were working part time who would rather be working.
Full time and it looks to sound like a lot of these people are getting fewer hours.
You know they have a full time job for being told OK under thirty hours because that's crazy obamacare.
Well you're right and I listen to Stuart Varney who by the way is terrific and I watch -- what you show this morning and it was very interesting to me but.
It's something that is absolutely take it affected the people it's it's Q -- -- -- disparity.
You want to do certain things easier if you wanted only a certain number of hours probably all of a sudden you don't have to -- since.
People that had wonderful full time jobs and they went to work at one place for years they're working part time jobs didn't do so that in the numbers that came out last week cause and effect.
-- Donald you run you know he's cooperation with a lot of employees are -- -- I'm with the have you heard about it very hands on with it it depends of the size of the company but it that if you have a company it.
You start getting less than thirty people were less than fifty people have a certain people look at how many people do we have a the company.
They've never look at things like this before right and I think it's a very very negative things.
But the big problem with -- -- that's one of the problems of the one of the very big problems -- the complexity.
Nobody even knows even really intelligent well run companies.
They don't know what they're doing better know what they're looking that they don't know what it means the regulations are so.
-- And you reported a few weeks -- thousands of people have been hired by the government.
Just to interpret what's going on -- it's a mess and it could fall because there's too complicated people don't know what they're doing.
And the thank goodness the country's distracted with Celebrity Apprentice and not focusing on Obama put it very good news -- in the last night it's getting down to the -- and the final floor.
Mary Lou and his team lost.
Which she paid the price as fox -- could -- casinos sponsors.
The remake of a sweet.
-- Barkley said there here's how it sounded.
Great project manager -- really don't you think your tremendous there's good.
No so I think my people are trying to get remaining giving how strong I am because there hasn't been one -- where I have I know how strong you are I think he's great animal.
A -- -- the -- the makes -- there around the food they didn't like this week they didn't like the chest they didn't like certain other things and they really like fifteen much better and get the project manager Mary Lou.
You're fired.
She is not happy would you -- her coworkers.
Well I'm gonna take Mary -- down to Atlantic City or they'd be less safe guess that she's going to be collect chapter yeah no doubt that she's got that that she's got a lot of great memories of the world like a top six person in the world.
And she's also by the way a terrific person she's great and she did a great job.
We'll all vote you know they're trying to portray foxwoods and -- great polite and she -- nothing says -- Like -- a crazy well -- Obviously that I actually spoke to about the basic you -- while you into the world of play cards with your great ability -- -- great memory.
That she actually told me it was a different kind of remembering so I don't know maybe it wouldn't work -- He accused Trace -- of being the new Gary Busey I don't know if he's -- -- emotionally.
Like I totally straight I'm as I do that and Gary we love -- but I'm not sure that the case was very happy with all right -- have a great week we'll talk to again thank you very much.

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Honeymoons in Africa
A honeymoon safari holiday to Africa usually costs exactly the same as any equivalent African safari with us – we never charge any premium because it's your honeymoon.
Your main problem is to choose! Although many of our camps and lodges in Africa make very romantic destinations; singling out any one alone is difficult. All will go out of their way to make your stay special; and if it's your honeymoon or a special anniversary, then they'll try even harder. Many will plan surprises during a honeymoon safari – perhaps a private dinner, a bottle of bubbly on arrival or a bush bouquet for the bride. These aren't usually formulaic add-ons; generally they are simply thoughtful camp managers making exceptional one-off arrangements.
Please tell us if you are booking a honeymoon safari; this will only make a difference to your experience, not the price. Recommendations for a great honeymoon to Africa with us would include:
Honeymoon safaris in Tanzania
The 'classic' African honeymoon is a luxurious safari followed by a romantic beach break – for which Tanzania is the obvious choice. A few nights at Ras Kutani could help you to unwind when you arrive, and whilst most of the camps in the Selous Game Reserve cater very well for honeymooners, Beho Beho and Impala Camp deserve special mention. For the adventurous, a night fly-camping for can be ruggedly romantic.For a safari honeymoon in more famous (and busier) parks, visit northern Tanzania. Include Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, with its particularly good in-room spa treatments, and for a real treat Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is one of Africa's most spectacular lodges. It's very costly, but you get a stupendous location, marvellously theatrical décor, great food and service, and opulent bubble baths! In the Serengeti, for a honeymoon seek out the romance of a remote tented safari camp – look to the billowing canvas at Sabora and Sayari.
(See more ideas for the best Tanzania honeymoon safari lodges and camps…)
Beach destinations for your honeymoon in Tanzania & Zanzibar
After your safari, Zanzibar's palm-fringed beaches can make idyllic honeymoon retreats. Of these, Matemwe Retreat and Fumba Beach Lodge are particularly stylish and romantic. If money is no object, then Africa's ultimate beach getaway is Zanzibar's Mnemba Island Lodge.Pemba's Fundu Lagoon is popular with a young and lively crowd; whilst those seeking something quieter should head to Mafia Island where Pole Pole is a quiet spot with Italian influences.
(See more ideas for the best beach honeymoon lodges and camps on Zanzibar and Tanzania's other islands here…)
Beach add-ons to your honeymoon in Mozambqiue
If you're taking a safari in Tanzania, and want to follow this with a remote private island retreat to complete your African honeymoon, then consider the Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique. Of the islands here, Vamizi is the ultimate private island with large, secluded villas and great diving and snorkelling.If you're heading to southern Africa – to Namibia, Botswana or the Cape for a honeymoon safari – then it can be magical to finish with a lovely beach lodge on one of the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago, in southern Mozambique. Our recommendations here would certainly include the relaxing luxury of Azura Mozambique.
(See more of our top tips for the best beach honeymoons in Mozambique…)
Romantic breaks and honeymoon safaris in Zambia
Zambia's small, individual safari lodges can be very romantic. Consider the stunning honeymoon suite at Chiawa Camp, the dreamy white fabrics of Sausage Tree Camp, or the curvy honeymoon suites at Chongwe River Camp! Many other camps here also offer special honeymoon suites, including Kapani and Tena Tena.Zambia's spectacular Victoria Falls is one of Africa's most famous sights; it's a marvellous and very classic place to start an African honeymoon. Here, Tongabezi, Sindabezi and the Islands of Siankaba are magical riverfront places to stay. Perhaps ask for a champagne breakfast on Livingstone Island as one of your wedding gifts!
(See more ideas for the best Zambia honeymoon safari lodges and camps…)
Honeymoon safaris and romantic breaks in Botswana
Botswana is certainly one of Africa's top destinations for honeymoon safaris. Many camps have stunning honeymoon suites – often rooms or tents which are more secluded than most, with large double-beds and perhaps a moonlit shower or bath. These rooms need booking well in advance, but don't often cost extra.In addition, Baines' Camp has special 'star beds' that roll outside to sleep under the heavens, whilst every room at the luxurious Jao Camp has its own 'sala' – a cushioned private outdoor lounge with a view. The more adventurous can enjoy sleep-outs on the Kalahari's Great Salt pans from most of the camps there.

Romantic breaks and honeymoons to Lake Malawi
For a great African honeymoon, consider combining Zambian safari followed by a short beach holiday to the nearby Lake Malawi. Here the lovely new Pumulani is right on the shore of Lake Malawi, and very stylish.Far offshore, the honeymoon suite at Kaya Mawa has its own private island – it's a classic African honeymoon spot. Nearby, on the Mozambique shore of Lake Malawi, the powder-white sands of Nkwichi Lodge are a match for a honeymoon stroll on any coral island.
Honeymoons and romantic breaks in Namibia
Every year a few honeymooners, and many celebrating special anniversaries, travel with us to Namibia, where the dunes can be dreamily romantic, and lodges like Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp and Little Kulala have stunning honeymoon suites.There are other great options for honeymoons in Namibia; ask us about the Bush Suite at Okonjima – which is like the Bush Villa, but smaller and ideal for a honeymoon! Also consider the relaxed charm at Huab Lodge, and the splendid isolation of Serra Cafema as being particularly special.
(See more of our top tips for honeymoon places in Namibia…)
Romantic breaks and honeymoons in the Seychelles
For luxury with high levels of comfort and care, head for a private island in the Seychelles. These are amazing places – high on many honeymoon lists, where budget allows! North and Frégate are world-class; whilst Denis and Desroches will suit slightly less extravagant budgets.For a honeymoon exploring the islands of the Seychelles, our best suggestions might include the secluded but very economic Le Sans Souci, or the smart Hilton Northolme on Mahé island; the Black Parrot Suites or Le Duc on Praslin; and perhaps Domaine de l'Orangeraie on La Digue.

A honeymoon in Namibia can be stunning - just imagine sleeping under the sparkling stars, whilst the Namib's red desert dunes and the Naukluft Mountains isolate you from the outside world!

Small private islands; secluded, palm-fringed beaches; luxurious beach retreats; lavish honeymoon suites; candlelight dinners on the white sands - if this is how you imagine your honeymoon, consider spending your romantic break on one of the Seychelles' tropical islands!

An inmate in the Wapello County Jail was discovered dead in his jail cell Monday morning from an apparent hanging.
The Wapello County Sheriff's Department reported that John Joseph Connell, 18, of Sioux City, was found unresponsive in his cell during rounds by law enforcement officials, who immediately called paramedics.
Connell was being held on three counts of sexual abuse in the second degree and possessing contraband inside a correctional facility.
Earlier this year, Connell and his father, Michael Connell, 46, were on the run, accused of multiple sex offenses.
The two were were apprehended in Texas in July, and the younger Connell was sent back to Wapello County, where had been incarcerated in the Wapello County Jail since Sept. 8.
Michael Connell remains incarcerated in El Paso, Texas.
John Connell's body has been sent to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.

Cheng Du
Online Reservations
Cheng Du never disappoints. My family and I have been frequenting for over 10 years, whether it be take-out or dining and a cocktail. The food is always fresh and flavorful and haven't compared others of the years we now know that their is no place with better Asian cuisine, we have stopped our search.
Cheng Du serves by far the best asian cuisine you will have in a great "newly renovated" environment. Have been coming here for take -out or dine in for over 15 years and the food is always spectacular.
We are regular customers at Cheng Du's. We love the food and try to order a different dish (in addition to some favorites) every time we dine there. It is our favorite Chinese restaurant! My husband won't try anywhere else.! Everyone is friendly and the service is spot on!
I recently heard about the newly remodeled Cheng Du Restaurant while listening to the Jordan Levy Show. So, I decided to take the ride out to Westborough for by Birthday. My wife and I arrived around 4:00 PM and asked if we could be seated in the Akamon Restaurant. We ordered a Blue Hawaiian drink (very well prepared). We also ordered the Chef's Choice of the Grill Special (eight skewers for $25). The Mixed Vegetable Skewer and the Scallops wrapped in Bacon were my favorite. The dinner included Soup or Salad. I highly recommend Cheng Du for a new take on grilling!
Worth the trip. Food was excellent, atmosphere elegant and relaxing, staff was courteous and gracious. A new favorite! Lemon chicken, beef hunan, were most delicious, cannot comment on the other 7 dishes served, as the rest of the group of nine were not willing to share, but there were happy, smiling faces all around.
My eleven year old son asked if we could go to Cheng Du after catching a movie together. I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised from the moment we walked in the front door. We were greeted by welcoming smiles and an earnest appreciation that we had chosen Cheng Du to have dinner. Atmosphere was stylish, comfortable without feeling you were having dinner with the table next to you. Food was excellent, reasonably priced and service was brilliant. Great experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Best lunch special in the area. Can't beat it. $8.95. Pick 1 app, 2 Entrée, and 1 rice or lo mien dish, and soup. Food is made to order rather than from a pot of premade offerings. Eat lunch there at least once a month.
I made a reservation at Cheng Du for 8/30 in celebration of my boyfriend's 35th b-day. I hadn't dined at Cheng Du in yrs & wasn't sure what to expect. Our experience there surpassed our expectations! We had a wonderful time, the food was amazing & the service excellent! We will definitely be going there again!
This was a special event for my mom's 60th bday. The restaurants owner kept checking in on us making sure the servers were getting food out fast enough (which they were) The ambiance is amazing the place is completely renovated and beautiful. the perfect spot for a date night! oh and the food especially the shrimp tempura is fo fresh very light and taste wonderful!
Nice choice between Chinese on one side or Japanese on the other side. You can order either one or both from anywhere. Service was a bit slow and several dished were far too cold when they finally arrived. The Japanese skewers were a great buy and delicious.
We made a last minute Saturday night reservation to Cheng Du, and when we arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later, the manager told us that the reservation had mistakenly gone through. There were NO tables available, and there was a 1.5 hour wait for a table. But the manager was amazingly professional and clearly cared about making Open Table's mistake right, and had us seated less than 20 minutes later - and then proceeded to take our order and serve us herself! The food was excellent, a step up from usual Asian fare - clearly not your average "Chinese take-out" joint. We got both sushi and items off traditional Chinese food menu - both very good. The kids enjoyed their meals, also - beef teriyaki and noodles, chicken and rice.
My two girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cheng Du, our first time there. Food was great, good value. Ambience was VERY quiet, which was great although we were probably the loudest people in the place. Our server did hover a bit more than we would have liked, but she was attentive and friendly - no complaints!

The field Project Description is always soo hard for me to fill up because i could tell a Roman about it but i am sure noone would reals pages long of a descriptions maybe it would be funny or amusing because of my english mistakes hahahahah :) but anyway i try my best to keep it short and intense everyone can ask me then specifik questions wich i would loove to explain :)
i made a 2 piece dress wich i normaly woudnt do.
the most fun part was to create the skirt but the hardest think was to process the silk organze with different stiffing produckts without letting it to change its colour.
by this dress i didnt coloured the shantough on the top but i coloured the organza at the skirt wich was really difficult to mix up the coloures blue, grey, purple and green in the right amount but i have to say i am really happy with the result.
i also put a few Swarovski Crystals on the top to give it a little sparlelicious detail:D
here i used again a corset construktion in the inside of the dress.
for the to i've used shantough.
i lined the skirt with silk and made the mean skirt out os silk organza.

how do you play itunes through the speakers?

2 Answers from the Community
When the speaker is connected to your wireless network there will be a small rectangular box appearing next to your volume control in iTunes. Click this and it will ask which output you would like to use for sound. Select the Bose Soundlink Air and hey presto - it will stream the sound from your Mac to the speakers!

POLL: What shuttles do you use?
I normally use the carlton T800 medium, but just today I've bought a dozen AS-20s, and they are just wonderful - I'm not using plastic ever again! My friend and I went through 3 in 1hr though Not great for 13 quid...
btw, whats the difference between the AS-10 > AS-50s? The store manager said the higher the model number, the faster the shuttles are but I'm not sure.Last edited by Togey; 03-05-2005 at 10:37 AM. Reason: adding question
I used to use DTL Official or RSL No. 3 all the time, but I started using Mavis 350 and 300 again... I know, I know, people are gonna start jumping on me that feathers are better than nylons, I agree, however I'm playing with more beginners than I used to and frankly, I can't afford for them to be slicing my feathers into itty bitty bits all the time.
Difference between AS-20 and 50, I've tried both, though I've never compared them purposely, but overall I feel the difference is consistency of flight, consistency of the birds in the tube (tube of AS-50 has less flaws on the birds than AS-20) and durability. The one tube of AS-20 that I tried was pretty fragile, didn't last nearly as long as the as-50s.
What the manager said about the as-50 being faster than as-20 is debatable, if you get the same grade (red green or blue) the speed should theoretically be the same.
Personally though, I stay away from yonex feather birds because of the crazy prices. For the price of a tube of AS-50, you could get several tubes of same quality birds from other brands.
03-05-2005, 02:26 PM #3Originally Posted by Togey
a dozen AS-20 are 8.75 at www.centralsports.co.uk
the store manager don't know shuttles
the higher the model number the better the quality and consistency.
For Yonex the speed should be indiocated by a little sticker on the cap. In the UK you will probably only see speeds 2 and 3. 3 is faster than 2.
Personally for social hits with friends.. i use Epsilon Yellows.. they fly pretty well.. On Friday night comps.. the club uses a variety of brands.. Carlton, Sealion, RSL and a couple of others.. can't really remember their names..
I personally use AS-50

It really doesn't matter where you turn on the web someone somewhere is bitching about Microsoft's efforts to protect their copyright with the Windows operating system; whether it is through the wording of their EULA or the implementation of Windows Genuine Advantage. Well get ready because it is only going to get worse very soon as Microsoft is getting ready to switch on the Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) for Office 2003 and its upcoming release of Office 2007.
As reported by ITWire:
As of October 27 last week, anyone using a pirated version of Office will no longer be able to download Office templates or other Office downloads. From January 2007, pirated Office users will no longer be able to check for and download Office updates.
Should a Service Pack 3 become available for Office 2003, or other security updates for Office 2003 and earlier, still supported versions, your copy of Office will be checked for authenticity before the download will begin.
If you're not legal, you won't be able to update Office, and will have to run the risk that documents you receive from others don't contain threats that could damage your system.
So what will we be hearing from the users once they get past the initial whining that Microsoft is being so unfair? The most likely will be same as when they implemented WGA on a wide scale – user's hitting the search engines looking for free or low cost alternatives like OpenOffice.org
One of the more interesting questions raised by Alex Zaharov-Reutt is whether those folks that have easily been using pirated versions of Office all these years actually fork over the money to run a legal version. From experience and many read articles on the matter I can say – probably not; but you can almost be sure that they will be the loudest whiners.
Hey, like this post? Why not share it with a buddy?

Escobar's son seeks atonement for father's sins
from Juan Forero's report on NPR:
Pablo Escobar, who led Colombia's Medellin cocaine cartel, was once the world's most wanted man. At the height of his power in the 1980s, he killed politicians and policemen and ordered an airliner blown out of the sky. With U.S. help, the Colombian police finally hunted him down.
Sixteen years after Escobar's death, the families of his victims haven't forgotten about him. And neither has Escobar's only son [Sebastian Marroquin], whose story is told in a new documentary film that opens Dec. 10 in Colombia and then in January at the Sundance Film Festival.
The son, who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, says that he wants to atone for the sins of his father.

Restorative justice from a survivor's perspective
by Penny Beerntsen
Note: this article originally appeared as a comment responding to a posting by Lisa Rea. We were concerned that many readers may have missed it and so are posting it as its own entry. We are grateful to Penny Beerntsen for her willingness to share her extraordinary story.
As a survivor of a violent crime, I am a firm believer in the power of restorative justice programs to transform both the victim and the offender. I learned about victim offender conferencing shortly after surviving a violent sexual assault and attempted murder. Although I was unable to meet with my offender, as he had not taken responsibility for his crime, I began participating in victim impact panels inside prisons. Although I was not speaking directly to my offender, I was telling my story to others who were incarcerated for violent crimes, including rape. Much of my healing took place inside maximum security prisons as a result of the dialogue I engaged in with these offenders. If someone had told me at the time of the crime that this would be the case, I would have told that individual they were crazy! I participated in these panels because I thought I had something to offer the offenders. I learned that the process, if properly conducted, is mutually beneficial.

The birth and development of a joey koala
24 February 2006
At Australia Zoo, our koalas are keeping us busy! Currently we have five females with pouch young as well as three maturing joeys from last year's breeding season.As a marsupial, koalas are very interesting animals in regards to their breeding behaviour and characteristics. After a successful mating, the female will become pregnant for a gestation period of around 34 to 36 days. The birth can be very short and the underdeveloped young have a very big journey ahead. At approximately one inch in length and weighing no less then one gram, the joey climbs from the birth opening up the underbelly of the female and into a pouch. The koala pouch is backward-facing, with an opening close to the hind legs. The joey attaches to one of the two teats and will commence suckling of the mother's milk.
When talking about pouch young we are referring to young between the age at the time of birth, and up to approximately six to seven months. At this time the young are developing rapidly and do not venture from the safety of the mothers pouch. As the joeys continue to mature they move out of the pouch onto the underbelly, then are carried around on the mother's back. At approximately 12 months, the joeys have become totally independent and are feeding by themselves away from the mother. But a koala continues to grow. Full reproductive maturity and maximum growth is reached at three to four years of age.
The three mature joeys that we have are now nearing 14 months old. Their names are Seanna, Chanel, and Jaffa. You can see them in our Koala Island enclosure nest time you visit us. We hope to see you soon.
Our Amazing Koalas
Koalas vary in size and colour depending on where they live in Australia. Koalas found in the southern distributions (Southern NSW and Victoria) tend to be ...more
