I love this show. Its fun to watch, and allows us to forget about all the garbage happening in the world for a couple of hours. It was a much hyped premier and I was not disappointed, I was bored a lot of the time, but not disappointed. There were a few performances that made it all worthwhile.
My favorites after night one are Carson Kressley, Nancy Grace, Ricki Lake, David Arquette and Chaz Bono. Here is a quick breakdown of this year's cast:
Ron Artest: He's a fun guy, but no. I liked his opening video with his little girl, but this is not happening, especially while he looks like Rodman. Thanks for coming by Ron. Take care. He scores 15 from the judges.
Rob Karsashian: He's a sweet boy, but no. His opening video is lame and I think Khloe is the only interesting Kardashian. He wants to last longer than Kim's 3 weeks. Good luck. He scores 16 from the judges.
Kristin Cavallari: Really? A star? The only thing her opening video was missing is a pole. She did a good job, and her dress was beautiful, but I don't get this casting. She is annoying and scores 19 from the judges.
Chynna Phillips: I remember when she was a singer and I dug her. She looks great, but her dress did half the dance for her. Not sure she is popular enough to stay long, but did great She scores 22 from the judges.
Nancy Grace: I freaking loved her. From the opening video, to her dance, I thought she was fabulous. I like Nancy and thought she was entertaining. Surprising how short she is. She scores 16 from the judges.
David Arquette: Loved him, loved his video, loved his dance, love his wife, love his kid, love it that Paul Reubens was cheering him on, loved it all. He got a vote from me, and scores 18 from the judges.
Elisabetta Canalis: Her body is perfection, but a star? If you spent three years sleeping the sexiest man alive, are you a star in some circles? I love you George but she can go, and scores 15 from the judges.
Hope Solo: I loved her dress, thought she was good, and charming in her video. I am not left with a strong feeling either way, but she was fine and will stay more for Max than her. She scores 21 from the judges.
Carson Kressley: Oy Gay! I love you Carson. I voted for Carson by phone and online. He was funny, charming, and insanely entertaining, with a perfect Jagger impersonation. He scores 17 from the judges.
J.R. Martinez: He is a hero, and when he said he was proud of his scars I cried. He did a great job and got a standing ovation from me in my living room. He will get better, and scores 22 from the judges.
Ricki Lake: How can you not just love this girl? She looked beautiful and did a lovely job. I predict she will be in the final four, a lot thinner, but still fabulous. I like her a lot, and she scores 20 from the judges.
Chaz Bono: Delicious. He was joyous and happy. For a man who is under more pressure than any other contestant, he did a beautiful job and he got all my remaining votes. He is very brave, and scores 16 from the judges.
I'm not sure who will go home first, but I'm thinking it might be Rob Kardashian or Ron Artest, and if I got to choose, it would be Elisabetta because I don't know her so there is connection. If it is down to Rob and Ron, then I hope they send Rob home as Ron will be more fun.
Tom Bergeron is the best host on television and he was robbed of an Emmy again this year. Brooke Burke is pretty and does her job, but Tom is the host and Brooke is his Vanna. It's going to be interesting to see how America votes this season. I truly hope they can keep it real.

The long awaited trip to Punta Cona is finally here, but before I get into the blow by blow, can someone please explain to me why the Manzo kids are on the housewives vacation? This is The Real Housewives of New Jersey, not the Real Kids of New Jersey Housewives. It's nice that we met them, but enough already. Give them their own show and we won't watch it, but stop shoving them down our throats on this one.
Melissa and Joe are packing for the trip. I love Joe and Melissa. They are fun, in love with each other, and their kids. They have saved this show and I watch more for them than any of the others. Teresa and Juicy are also packing, and as much as I love Melissa and Joe, I am repulsed by Tree and Juicy. They are disgusting and in need of serious therapy for both them and their children. I am over these people.
Bravo needs to fire Teresa before something bad happens. She is unstable and we have seen what happens when Bravo families are pushed to the limit. They better let her go or their hands will once again be covered with blood. Over at Caroline's she is also packing, as is Jacqueline, who keeps trying to be funny but it's not happening for her. She also appears to have no neck, only a head sitting on her body.
We see that Jac has hired a young girl to babysit while she is away, which is sad considering Ashley is in town. That said, I would not leave my kid with Ashley, but it's still sad. Ashley is not going on the trip. Chris asks Jac if she will miss their boys and she says yes, but when asked if she will miss Ashley, she pauses and then says yes, which we know is a lie. Ashley is no angel, but her mother should be ashamed of herself.
Kathy is packing with her mom and hopeful the trip will be a good thing for the family. Good luck with that Kath. They are off to the Dominican Republic, so let the games begin. Once in Punta Cana, we discover that one of Teresa's 9 suitcases is lost. It is a huge bag that has all of her costume jewelry. I guess you need a lot of that for a 4 day vacation. Teresa has gone from unappealing to repulsive.
They leave the airport in a caravan of cars and some genius at Bravo thought it would be fun for us to watch a bunch of Guido, juicehead, monkeys take a pee on the side of the road. Really? Whoever had that brilliant idea is a pig, and must have worked over at Jerry Springer before landing at Bravo. The image of Juicy going to the bathroom has scarred me for life. It was all very National Geographic ape special.
Melissa is commenting on what a great job Caroline did raising her kids, and Tree is trying to suck the joy out of it. Teresa is in need of psychiatric attention. The same idiot who thought we like watching men pee, must be the guy who advised Teresa to let us know she has her period. If it were not for Melissa and Joe I don't think I could watch these chicks anymore. I am now faced with 10 minutes of Manzo kids.
Why the hell is Greg there? It's not bad enough we need to see the kids, but we have to have their friends there too? Greg is at least entertaining. The Manzo kids are sweet to be sure, but boring as hell. Everyone is settling in and I wonder why every time Juicy says something, Teresa tries to explain what he is saying, but it is not even close to what we heard Juicy say. Teresa lives in an alternate universe.
Everybody is going to spend the day out on a boat, but Caroline has a migraine and is staying behind. Teresa can't decide what bathing suit to wear so she decides to try a few on and have the husbands and children of her friends tell her what looks best. She is insane. The best part is when Jac is interviewed about the fashion show, she holds up her hands to make a point and her palms are bright orange!
She should wear gloves when applying her bronzer. It was hilarious. I rewound it 4 times to make sure I was not seeing things, and I wasn't. Her palms are orange, which when matched with her apparent neck loss, makes her look like a freak. Over in bungalow 2, Joe and Richie are having a romantic couples massage. Joe is getting a rub down, but Tarzan is up and ready to go at the mere sound of his wife's voice. Oy vey.
On the boat, all the kids are saying Melissa and Joe are the hottest couple in the world, but Teresa is convinced she and Juicy are hotter. Is Teresa high? Melissa and Joe are gorgeous, and Teresa and Juicy are not. Final answer. Her insecurity, jealousy and pettiness are unbearable and I find myself wanting to shove her off the boat. A nice slow motion television smack where her head swings back and her hair goes flying.
The guys are going into the water and Teresa feels the need to tell the entire group that her husband's genitals are great and very active. Maybe away from the show tree is a lovely person? By lovely, of course I mean child protective services might want to check in on her. Those poor girls are either going to end up in lifelong therapy, or on a pole. This show will haunt them forever, which is very, very sad.
The boat trip ends with no bloodshed, and everyone stops at the bathroom for some sexual innuendos. Dear Lord, this trip is making me sick. They are all behaving like college kids on spring break and it's exhausting. Juicy, Richie and Albert are talking about restaurants and we are reminded that Juicy is a moron. I wonder if he graduated from high school. He is seriously stupid and that he is not in jail is a miracle.
Kathy joins the group and that is it. Teresa starts a fight with her, and it's disgusting. Teresa is a crazy person, and if Bravo does not fire her, I will no longer be able to watch. There is power in numbers, and we managed to unite to get the NYC cast massacred, so we must do the same here. Teresa needs to be fired immediately. I feel very bad for Kathy, but kudos to her for keeping her cool and not yelling or crying
Juicy steps in and tells everyone to shut up. He is screaming at Kathy and Tree to shut up and Richie does not say anything, which was a shame. He should have told Juicy to not tell his wife to shut up, but he sat there saying nothing. It was surprising and not cool because I expected more from him. Teresa and Juicy leave but Tree is still talking about the Christening. I do not like this woman. Kathy came out the winner and Tree is totally the loser.
Teresa is delusional. She is also the reason I will not watch this show next year if she is still on it. I'm over it. Next week is more of the same and it will be painful to watch, and even harder to write about. Come on Bravo, you're on a roll so fire one more. In fact, if you are going to fire Teresa, give Jacqueline the axe too. Bravo needs to man up and do some spring cleaning this winter. Time to keep it real.

Anyone who thinks Chaz Bono appearing on Dancing With the Stars is bad for America, should watch last week's Jersey Shore, and then shut the hell up. I love the kids from the shore as much as the next person, but they should be under attack, not Chaz. Chaz Bono is a lovely man who is teaching acceptance and tolerance. While both make for great television, let's determine who is trashy and who is classy.
Here are 5 things the Jersey Shore kids did on their show this week:
1) Deena said, "I had no idea Italy had a Caribbean Island in it."
2) The girls ask random men if they know the Italian word for vagina.
3) Snooki gets so drunk she falls into some bushes.
4) Deena flashes her vagina, without underwear, to an entire nightclub.
5) Deena and Snooki have sex together, but don't remember they did.
Here are 5 things Chaz Bono did this week:
1) He was articulate and charming on The Joy Behar Show.
2) He was articulate and charming on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
3) He was articulate and charming at the Creative Emmy Awards.
4) He did not respond to the hurtful things people said about him.
5) He thanked his family, friends, and strangers for supporting him.
I watch Jersey Shore because they are ridiculous and fun. I watch Dancing With The Stars because it is entertaining. I laugh at the kids from the shore, I laugh with Chaz Bono. I think the kids from the shore are embarrassing and bad role models. I think Chaz Bono is a hero. I would leave my son with Chaz Bono, I would not leave my son with any member of the Jersey Shore cast. Who is bad for America?
Surely there are more important things to boycott than Chaz Bono on Dancing with the Stars. Come on America. People are dying, kids are starving, and education is going down the toilet. Find something of importance to get passionate about and leave Chaz Bono alone. If you can't, because you are too dumb, know that the more you ask us to hate him, the more we love him, and Jesus loves him too.
Tomorrow night is the premier of DWTS and I am going to vote for Chaz. Whether or not he is good, and he will be, I will vote for him so that he is given a fair shot. He deserves it, and he has earned it. In the end the best dancers will make it the furthest, but if popularity counts, Chaz will be there too. Jersey Shore is trashy, Chaz is classy, and those are the facts. Deena needs to get into AA and Chaz will be just fine because he keeps it real.

We've been waiting for Bravo to listen to our pleas about the ladies of NYC. It's been painful to watch. It was once a fun romp for an hour a week, but has became a crap fest of screaming, fighting, and no fun. Well, change is coming and change is good. Hopefully.
I'm not a super fan like some. I love the show, blog about it, but don't follow it as closely as some others. Over the past few hours however, I've been watching the massacre unfold on Twitter. Throughout the night the fired ladies came on Twitter to announce they were leaving the show.
Cindy's posting was forgettable, as was her appearance on the show. Alex while gracious, chose her words carefully and came across as being in a bit of denial. Simon went on and on, tweeting often. Is Simon to blame for the firing of his wife? Did he overstepped and drag her down?
They have two young children, and no jobs, so I feel for them and hope they will be okay. If they somehow, through some unfortunate aligning of the planets, end up back on television, I will impale myself with the remote control. I will also watch. Their creepiness is fascinating.
As of this morning Kelly has been tweeting about her day, but no acknowledgement of her being let go from the show. I think it's funny. She knows we all know, yet is keeping quiet. We can assume she is trying to build up anticipation, and is leaving us all with bated breathe.
Or maybe she is just dumb. Maybe when they sat her down and told her she was "fired", she though they told her she was "tired", and went home to take a nap. When they said, "you're let go", she heard "let's go", and is waiting in the car. Whatever. She'll tweet soon enough.
Ramona and Sonja have both tweeted since the news was confirmed, but neither of them has said anything about it. Why? It makes no sense that Bravo would tell them to not speak of it. That's lame. Why not just tweet you are sad to see your friends go?
All the axed ladies are friends with at least one of the survivors, so why not say something kind and supportive? Ramona is tweeting about her magazine subscriptions, and Sonja is inviting people to come to her cooking class at The Learning Annex. Their silence is strange.
No word from LuAnn either and she is such good friends with Jill you'd think she would say something. Wouldn't that be the classy thing to do? Perhaps the truth is these women all hate each other and there is no love lost between the ones heading out and those who kept their jobs.
The most shocking silence is the one coming from Bethenny. I used to think Bethenny was fabulous, but I'm no longer a fan. I think she has built her career on lies and one day her house of lies will come crashing down. That day is coming fast, and it will be a mighty fall.
Bethenny has no gratitude for RHNYC or what it did for her career. She believes she would have gotten to this place of success without it. The truth is, that show made her, and she owes them everything. Without her time as a housewife, she'd be on Flavor of Love looking for fame.
That the women who calls it like it is, except for the lying, has not said she expected it, or some other snarky remark is weird. She is going to choose this day to be quiet and not share her opinion? She may not be tweeting, but she is certainly celebrating. Know that.
Throughout this train wreck that we love so much, there are not a lot of opportunities to be gracious. Filming, scripting, and desperation for fame, makes people lose sight of these chances. I would have gone into the new season with a warm and fuzzy feeling if they had been kind now.
If my friend gets a pink slip, I am going to be supportive. If a co-worker of mine is fired, even if we are not friends, I am going to be supportive of the loss. Losing your job is stressful and that these women who have been a group for so long cannot support each other is quite sad.
I appreciate that they may be supportive away from the spotlight, but we are their fans, we invest time in them, and Bravo is a network that embraces Twitter. As fans, we deserve a little more than the silent treatment on what is a monumental day to this show we love.
Bethenny is laughing all the way the bank and thrilled the housewives have imploded, and there are casualties. Her not saying anything, even a fake sorry to her onetime friends, speaks volumes about who she is. Bethenny has no friends, so she is not sure how to be one.
Of all the housewives shows, NYC is my favorite. The city is part of the entertainment, and the ladies have a life we want to see. I will continue to watch and look forward to the new cast. If the new women have money, and don't need Bravo, that will keep it real.

Those of us who watch the Real Housewives of NYC have been asking for a shake up and we finally got one. By "watch" of course I mean we are obsessed. I have no idea why we are so addicted, but I'm over trying to figure it out. I watch it, love it, and am not ashamed to admit it.
Fans of this show have very strong opinions about the cast. Each of the ladies has a fan base, and also a pack of wolves that want to kill them. It's awesome. My opinions are applauded my many, but hated by more. The fans of this show are more entertaining than the show itself.
There has a been a lot of chatter on the Internet over the past few months that members of NYC cast will be fired, and today we got word that Bravo is making things official. Housewives are dropping like flies. While I don't agree with all the cuts, I agree change was needed.
Alex McCord, my least favorite housewife, from any cast, has been canned. Her announcement to the world came in the form of a tweet that said: Nothing was decided until today, but as of tonight, a decision has been reached. Simon and I are leaving. Sadly, but amicably.
Newsflash Alex, you are not "leaving". You were fired. We were sick of you and your husband. You are simply not good television. I wish you and your boys health and happiness in your future, and could not be happier to see the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Bye chums.
Cindy Barshop is also officially out, and took to Twitter to share the news. She tweeted: I will not be returning to RHNYC. I left on great terms. I loved getting to know all of you. Stay tuned much more to come! Again, you did not leave Cindy, you were fired. We all know the truth.
Cindy was useless on this show. She brought noting of interest to the table. All we learned about her is that she cares more about her work than her kids. Maybe she will spend more time with her kids now that she is not filming. Kelly opening a unicorn farm is more likely than that.
Jill Zarin, my favorite NYC housewife, is also out. She tweeted: When one door closes, another one opens. I love all my fans and can't wait for Skweez Couture to launch this week and announce my next project. She got caught up in a mess and never recovered, which is really a shame.
People either love Jill or hate her, and I love her. I wish she would have stayed and Ramona were the one to leave. That said, Ramona makes for much better television and if sacrificing Jill will make the show better, then so be it. Jill is fabulous, and she will be just fine.
Ramona and Sonja are staying with the show, along with Countess LuAnn. Ramona is a hot mess, but fun to blog about, so good call. Sonja is a fan favorite and I hope she regains her composure and keeps her underwear on. The Countless is fabulous and I get why they kept her.
That said, the Countess is the one person who should have left on her own. I have spoken with LuAnn and she is really, really lovely. I liked her so much, and felt that the show was doing her more harm than good. I wish she would of bailed instead of another year on the hell train.
Kelly is also out, but she had not tweeted her news at the time I posted this blog. She is probably running through the streets of NYC, or buying a unicorn on eBay, or in a jellybean coma, or on a date with an invisible man, or maybe she just doesn't understand she's been fired.
Season five will be interesting. I look forward to seeing who the replacements are, and how they deal with the ladies who are gone. I think Kate Dillon, supermodel, should be a new housewife. I also think we need an awesome Jewish lady in the mix. It is New York after all.
Bravo to Andy Cohen for doing what needed to be done. I'm not sure all your choices were correct, but I will be watching, and grateful for the changes. The Real Housewives of New York City was fabulous once, and perhaps can be again. Time will tell if the new cast can keep it real.

The best thing about Big Brother ending is it means Survivor is starting. I love this show and for the past few years I look forward to it with hope they will shake it up and give us something new and fresh. I loved Russell and having him back was enough to keep me interested, but I'm not sure this cast, Coach and Ozzie included, will keep me hooked for the season.
You can tell who will be great and who will suck, but there is nobody sticking out as a much watch. It could still happen of course, but it's a little disappointing that we were not given a taste of something good from the get go. If I had to pick a favorite out of the gate, it's Jim the pot salesman. I can tell I'm going to dig this guy. My least favorite is Russell's nephew Brandon.
I automatically don't like people who throw out comparisons to Hitler on reality television. Really? He says that if people knew he was Russell's nephew, they would look at him like he was Hitler. Seriously? It's Survivor you dumb ass and nobody is comparing you to Hitler. Moron. Stupid is not entertaining and as far as I'm concerned, he can go home quickly.
Sidebar: I will never understand why it is that Jeff Probst keeps winning an Emmy, year after year, for hosting this show. He's charming to be sure, but is there any talent behind those fabulous dimples? He is edited into perfection, whereas Tom Bergeron is great live, and robbed of his Emmy each year. Even Ryan Seacrest should win an Emmy over Probst.
Ozzie and Coach go head to head to win fire for their tribes. Ozzie wins it. No surprise there. They win as a team and everyone heads back to camp. I felt bad for Coach and he looked so sad to have lost. Everyone leaves him but some young chick names Edna. She offers to help him carry his stuff and it's a really sweet moment. Damn it! I'm hooked at minute 15.
At camp, Ozzie's team is mellow and not stressed, while Coach and his gang are a little frantic. Ozzie is lusting over some poet chick who is already bugging the crap out of me. Her name is Semhar and she is all about using her boobs for attention because she knows her personality won't be enough to do it. I wonder if Jim brought some pot with him since it's medicinal?
Ozzie's team goes swimming to bond and get to know each other. No pressure to build shelter. Cochran the young Harvard student is hilarious, but they are going to eat him alive. Coach is rallying the troops to get the camp organized. I like Coach. He's a little creepy, but inherently good and I hope they don't dump him too soon. They should dump Brandon and Christine.
Pothead Jim tells everyone he is a science teacher, but is really an MBA holding, poker playing, weed salesman. I freaking love this guy. Gay old guy Mark is sweet and I like him. Dawn the old chick is a hot mess and needs to go on a walk with Jim so she can "relax". So funny that she makes Bob Marley references to Ozzie when Jim is a better comparison.
Brandon is covered in tats, talks about how he was a bully, and now his life is all about God. Mikayla is one of the pretty girls and she is all about showing off her body, which is confusing and uncomfortable to Brandon, who does not want to be faced with temptation. Praise Jesus, this could get good. They show Brandon lusting after her through the trees and it's brilliant.
Alliances are being made and it's necessary and predictable, but lame. They are talking about how they feel so comfortable together, but really? You've known each other for 5 minutes. I get that alliances need to be made, and quickly, but use your heads people. Dawn is having a full blown nervous breakdown and I'm laughing. Not with her, but at her.
Cochran is hoping his charm and humor will keep him around. Really? Good luck with that Sweetie. It's challenge time. They are playing for team immunity and a clue for the immunity idle. Ozzie is a beast and the poet volunteers to be a coconut thrower, which is an important part of the challenge. Cochran is super weak and Semhar is totally useless.
There is a guy named Albert, who pulls Brandon up a 10 foot wall, alone, with just his arms, and I must tell you it caught my breath. I was so focused on Ozzie and Brandon that I forgot to fall in love with Mr. Hunkiness. It was amazing. I cannot tell you what he looked like, but when he pulled him up, it was all over for me. I love you Albert. Truly. Love.
Semhar loses the challenge for her team and Ozzie and the gang are headed to tribal council. She goes around camp trying to talk people into voting off poor Cochran. Rather than go around and try to save himself, he is wallowing is self pity and talking to the camera about how insecure he is, instead of trying to get them to dump the poet. Kind of dumb for a kid at Harvard.
Tribal council is on, and it's going to be either Cochran or Semhar going home. Right decision. Poor Ozzie will need to find someone else to make out with. Everything old is new again with this show, but whatever. I'm watching, I'm blogging, I'm certain Brandon will not be anywhere near the player Russell was, and I hope Jim lights up a doobie. That would be keeping it real!

How can one group of people get it so right on one show, and have an epic failure on another? America's Got Talent crowned a new champion last night in Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr., which was the correct choice. I have loved this guy from the first moment I saw him and am very glad he won.
He is exactly what this show is about. Landau is a guy who was once homeless, and now works in a car dealership in West Virginia as a car washer. He loves his wife and his kids, and is doing just fine. He never cried a sob story, but rather relied on his talent to get him votes. I like him.
He is a nice guy, with a great gift, and he deserved to win. America got it right. After spending the summer singing the classics by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, on the finale Landau belted out some Marvin Gaye and sounded great. This man can sing.
He sang You're All I Need To Get By with the divine Ms. Patti Labelle and I cannot talk about the finale without mentioned how wonderful this woman is. She is a classy lady who sings like nobody else, but beyond that she is gracious and generous.
She stood in the back and let Landau have his moment, and then when the song was done, she congratulated him and left the stage. She allowed him to have his moment, sing with one of his idles, and then bowed out of his spotlight. All talent and no ego. I love you Patti.
America did the right thing, myself included, by voting for Landau to win. I am excited for him and his family and I would totally go see him in Vegas. Just as I was applauding for America, I switched over to the finale of Big Brother and I wondered how America was so dumb.
Rachel was the overall winner, and while I don't think recycling contestants is cool, she deserved to win. She played the best game and there was nobody else in the house that should have won. I'm not sure who would have won had the veterans not returned this season.
I really wish that these competition shows would not keep bringing back old players. Who cares? The show is the exactly the same every season and new players are the only way to shake it up a bit. Are there not are enough fame whores in America that we don't need to double dip?
Rachel may be the most annoying player to ever play this game. Even the freaky Jewish guy from last year was less annoying than Rachel. Her constant crying and whining made me thank God for my remote control. That said, she was a brilliant player so good for her.
What I don't get is how Jeff won $25K for being the fan favorite. What was America thinking when they cast that vote? Other than dreamy blue eyes and a nice ass, he added nothing to this season. He is as boring as Rachel is annoying, and I don't get how he won.
I voted for Adam because he was entertaining all summer. By entertaining of course I mean he is the only one that didn't make me want to drink. I had fun watching Big Brother and I hope Jeff uses the money to buy a personality. No do-overs next summer Big Brother. Keep it real!

I am sad to see this show end. It is mindless fun that highlights everything that is wrong with reality television. This is the best part of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise and I look forward to it coming back next summer. That is the most pathetic thing I have ever said. I am looking forward to the return of a crapfest train wreck a year away? Dear Lord.
The final 4 couples are going to Vegas for the final challenge. They must do a Cirque du Soleil act on a suspended wall, hanging by wires. Watching fame whores butcher the work of these world class performers is fun. The thought of them up there is almost good enough to make me forgive ABC for dragging this out for 3 hours.
Kasey and Vienna are fighting. She continues to think he is a moron, and we continue to think she is a bitch. Michael continues to be in love with Holly, and Holly continues to wish Michael was Blake. Michelle continues to be oddly likeable, and Graham continues to have nothing of interest to say. Kirk and Ella continue to be invisible.
Holly and Michael are talking and she is stringing him along which is just sad. Michael is a total and complete loser and I love him. Listening to the commentary from everyone is boring and I'm feeling the need to fast forward, and considering it's 3 hours long, I'm okay with some skipping. Sadly I started watching again in time to see who the judges are.
The judges are: Trista. She is the golden child of this train wreck and I like her a lot. Jason Mesnick is back and I could care less. Then Alli comes back and I want to vomit. I think she is disgusting and that she continues to be on television is gross. Chris Harrison says the judges alone decide who moves on to the finale. By judges of course he means the producers.
Michelle and Graham are fine. Ella and Kirk suck. Kasey and Vienna are good. Michael and Holly are fantastic. Jason asks them if they are a couple and it's super lame. They don't talk to anyone else, but we are supposed to believe this is a real, unplanned question? Whatever. Michael and Holly win and are in the finals. Ella and Kirk are sent home.
I'm skipping over Ella's crying in the limo ride home. Blah, blah, blah. I'm a single mother. Blah, blah, blah. Got it. Now Michael and Holly get to pick who they take with them to the finals. Kasey is talking too much and pissing off Vienna, which ends in them fighting. Again, Michelle and Graham are lovely, and in the end, Kasey and Vienna are going home. Finally!
It's now time for the end of the show, which is live, but really taped a few weeks ago. So lame. Chris Harrison is there, which almost makes this show too boring to watch, but here we go. Ames and Jackie and there and they are no longer together. I love Ames, and never liked Jackie. In watching her on the reunion and I realize that opinion of her is still true.
Ames is being charming, saying they were simply too different. She is a crazy person, blaming him for her weeklong depression in bed. It's a classic case of he's just not that into you Jackie. Ames is a charismatic and wonderful man, and Jackie has nothing to offer a man like him. All Jackie did was blow the chance for Ames to be the Bachelor. Bitch.
Jake is spewing crap about getting closure with Vienna, and Vienna has a dry mouth that is making her sound like Kasey, and her lazy eye is spinning. She thinks she was lovely to Jake, and we are all wondering if she is high because she was horrible. Erica is making perfect sense and looks prettier than she ever has. Is Harrison wearing a hairpiece?
Jake is talking one on one to Harrison and I'm skipping it. I get back to watching just as Kasey tells Jake he's sorry for treating him badly, and they hug. Vienna is looking at Kasey like she wants to kill him, and for the first time all season, or ever for that matter, I like Kasey. It's Kasey's turn to talk to Harrison and I find myself feeling bad for him.
Vienna ruins lives, is the moral of the story for Kasey. Let's hope he learned a lesson and has moved on from this hot mess. I used to like her but she is a little too manipulative for me. That said, she was not the most disgusting person on the show. That title goes to Blake and Holly, who have tied. They are rotten, and Melissa is just plane crazy. Poor thing needs meds.
Blake tells us that he loves Holly, then they show a tape of him asking her to marry him. Oy vey. I was almost sucked into the romance of it all until Blake said he loved Holly's intelligence, then I snapped out of it and got back on the train ride through hell. Michael and Holly, Graham and Michelle are brought out and then it gets really awkward.
Holly, the skanky whore, tells Michael, who has been pining over her for months, is told on "live" television, that she is going to marry Blake. It's very sad and I think shameful to do this to a poor man like this. It's horrible and I feel terrible for Michael. She has been breaking his heart for weeks and now she just crushes it. I seriously don't like this chick.
Michael regains his composure and could not be more lovely. Meanwhile, over with Michelle and Graham, they look great together. Her father has passed away and while they don't profess to be in love, the love is evident and I predict they will get married. Who would have thought that Michelle Money would end the season as one of my favorites? Go figure.
The kicked out contestants get to vote for who they think should be the winners. They get to ask some questions and they are all dumb. Seriously, this show could have been done in two hours. By two hours of course I mean 45 minutes. And the winners are: Michael and Holly. I'm glad he won, but wished she didn't. Then it gets exciting.
There is $250K and they can choose to share it or keep it. If they both share, they get $125K each. If one picks share and one keep, then the keeper gets the entire $250K. if both pick keep, then the money is split by all the people kicked off. Holly picks share, which we knew she would. Michael can take it all by choosing to keep it, and I am really hoping he does.
In the end Michael is both a mensch and a schmuck. He opts to share and I would have totally screwed her over. I think a broken heart is worth $250K. I'm not sure it was worth sitting through 3 hours to get 2 minutes of excitement, but whatever. I will watch this show again and hope that they don't invite any of this lot back. It needs to stay fresh.
We end the marathon train wreck with a conversation with Ben, the new bachelor. I like him. He is sweet, and I think will make good choices, but he is also painfully boring so I hope he works on that a bit. Maybe if he drinks a little more of his wine he will lighten up and give us some good television. If not, don't worry, the new fame whore skanks will keep it real.

Although Carpenter ants don't spread disease, they can be a considerable nuisance and can cause damage to your home.
Often confused with termites, Carpenter ants do not eat wood but tunnel through it to build nests. Unlike other ant species, Carpenter ants can be difficult to locate and require professional treatment because of the damage they cause to wood elements and foam insulation in your home.
Carpenter ants are one of largest ant species found in the United States.
Carpenter ants are usually most active during the spring and summer months and forage for food at night. They vary in color but are generally black or dark bodied and range in size from ¼ - ¾ inch in length.
Winged Carpenter ants (also known as 'swarmers') are sometimes mistaken for termites.
Carpenter ants feed on living and dead insects as well as anything people consume.
There are a number of signs, which may indicate a Carpenter ant problem in your home.
Are you worried about Carpenter ants invading your home? Carpenter ants often enter your home in an attempt to find food, and they are particularly attracted to sweet substances. There are a number of steps that you can take to prevent them entering your home, by eliminating the conditions that are attractive and supportive to these ants.
The most effective way to get rid of Carpenter ants is to find the nest and destroy it.
Common places to find Carpenter ant nests include hollow doors, window sills, roof areas and wall voids. However, it can sometimes be difficult to find the nest for a number of reasons:
For these reasons, we recommend that you contact a professional pest controller to get rid of the Carpenter ants for you, to be certain of a thorough and complete job.
Ehrlich Technicians have many years of experience in Carpenter ant control. We offer a Free Inspection Service for your home, which you can book online or over the phone.
Ehrlich prides itself on fast, responsive service every day. We are always available 24 hours a day for any emergency pest concerns that may develop and all appointments are scheduled at times that are convenient for you.

New recording for Duke getting plenty of airplay
© Submitted photo
Freshwater native Darrell Duke has a new recording out called "Mother's Salt Beef" which is garnering him some play on local radio stations and on the Internet.
Freshwater native Darrell Duke is thrilled to be receiving such a great response to his new recording of an older song he wrote, "Mother's Salt Beef."
Duke, 41, who now lives in Clarenville, wrote the song way back in 1992, when he, like many other Newfoundlanders had to move away to the mainland to find work.
"I was living in Alberta and I was terribly homesick. I never wanted to leave Newfoundland, and one day while in my aunt and uncle's home up there I wrote this song," said Duke.
The song has been getting played on local radio stations in St. John's, such as OZ-FM's Jigs and Reels and VOCM's Irish/Newfoundland Show and on Internet radio stations, like Alice O'Keefe's program of Irish and Newfoundland music in Irish Country Music Radio (ICMR) Ireland, and has been getting positive reviews from presenters and requests for airplay.
Duke, a singer/songwriter, wrote his first song at age 12, and plays numerous instruments such as guitar, bass, harmonica, piano, sitar, hand drums, and tin whistle. He has gotten some attention for writing as well, and currently has a book in the works about the Annie Healey disaster at sea.
"All of my work; music, novels, short stories, poems, plays… all deal with Newfoundland, and mostly from an historical point of view."
But, with "Mother's Salt Beef," Duke's lyrics evoke a lot of emotions for the people in the audience, which, he said, is a direct result of him feeling those same emotions when he was living and working away on the mainland.
"(The song) speaks of the reason I left in the first place; to find work; missing my baby girl (now 21), playing gigs with my brother and best friend, Barry, (who's been living in Alberta for years), Sundays at home after Mass with family, singing and playing guitars and laughing 'til it hurt at my late Uncle Cyril's stories and jokes, and, perhaps, in the end (of the song), a hope that those feelings of despair and loneliness from missing home would dissipate somewhat through time spent with new friends and long-lost relatives…… and maybe the song and it's message might allow a bit of comfort," explained Duke.
The lyrics and the music make for an emotion-filled audience in the bars and clubs in Alberta when he first began to play the song.
"I played gigs all over Edmonton and Calgary. I was a regular performer at Edmonton's Newfoundland Club and I'll never forget the first time I played and sang "Mother's Salt Beef." The place was always packed with ex-pats and a strong sense of nostalgia. This was the first time I played the song in public. There was this big, strong-looking man sitting alone and he didn't look too happy… and the further into the song I got, the more uneasy I began to feel, as he was restless, looking around, hanging his head and raising it again, and looking right through me, it seemed. When I finished the song, he started banging his big fists on the table, and tears poured from his eyes. "Lemon Cream crackers, buddy," he bawled. "Lemon Cream crackers." After the set, I sat with him and he said how he'd been away for about 30 years and how the song brought out every bit of sadness he'd ever kept in about missing Newfoundland," said Duke. "This was when I first knew the song could draw emotion; something someone could relate to. So, right from the beginning, it had 'something.' And to Newfoundlanders living away, it's not all that funny to sing about salt beef on Sundays and Lemon Creams smeared with Eversweet. And don't even mention bakeapple jam."
He said he thought singing about his favourite Newfoundland foods would be lighthearted, but quickly realized his music was touching a chord with fellow ex-pats.
"It was an instant hit with Newfoundlanders everywhere I went, whether it was playing a gig or a house party. Tears, tears, and more tears; grown men and women, it didn't seem to matter. Without knowing, I had conjured feelings many were afraid, for whatever reason, to express."
He recorded the song on a cassette player in 1992 and sent it home where his family shared it widely.
"Mom always said, 'All Darrell writes is them sad old songs. He likes makin' people bawl.' I took that as a compliment, and still do," Duke laughed. "While living away, I went on to write a lot of songs about Newfoundland, people I knew or still know, and events surrounding the sea (often tragic) which defined us as a unique people. Most of them, including Mother's Salt Beef, will be on my next album."
He went on over the years to try various forms of musical expression and eventually came back to his roots again with Newfoundland music.
"It took 25 years to realize how small Newfoundland is and to understand the fact we don't have population enough to sustain music outside the realm of what we call 'traditional' music; whether it be Irish, Newfoundland or a combination of both (which is often the case). But, "Mother's Salt Beef" never lost its popularity, and I've been hounded to play it a thousand times. There was a period of several years when I wouldn't play it. I'd become sick of it. But that was a selfish thing not to do, and I started singing it again and haven't stopped."
This style of music is what he keeps coming back to, no matter where he roams musically speaking.
"As an author of Newfoundland history books, I'm blessed with the privilege of having to talk with older folks who are the salt of the earth, as far as finding a window to Newfoundland's past. Nothing is contrived; just plain honesty and vivid descriptions of what it was really like to live off the land and the sea. And from these chats, there's always a ton of material left for songs," he explained.
And those lyrics touch a lot of people around the globe.
As Alice O'Keefe of ICMR said, "Being a Newfoundlander myself, I can surely identify with most of the lyrics. I find it is an emotional song and so much describes what a typical Sunday was like in Newfoundland homes Sunday morning. Listening to the lyrics, the memories of those days come flooding back to when I was growing up, and also of my children who can identify with the lyrics. This song will be very dear to the hearts of Newfoundlanders who are living away from home, especially. (The) song is heard all over the globe and I have gotten a lot of positive comments on "Mother's Salt Beef." Most can identify with it, in some special way of their own, no matter what country they live in."
So, music lovers, keep eyes open in stores for Darrell Duke's upcoming CD, or visit his website at www.darrellduke.com to purchase your copy of the single.

UCSA Congress 2012 - Day 1
As an incoming freshman, being at UCSA Congress is incredibly intimidating. There is no doubt that the ratio of upperclassmen to first-years is substantial. But I signed up for this to get some experience and dip my feet into the UC world of activities, so I'm opening my mind and energy to everything that's going to happen this weekend.
I'll skip the minor details and get straight to what I really want to write about—the workshop that I attended and the things I learned there that I want to remember.

Far from being a quixotic, utopian quest for a lost Edenic wilderness of the past, rewilding is a necessity, economic and existential. Along with alternative energy, the emerging professions of ecological restoration and management will help to drive the economy in the future. Already thousands of jobs in developing countries have been created in ecotourism, law enforcement, and agroforestry. From design to implementation, rewilding projects create jobs for a host of specialties—soil assessment, land system mapping, wildlife surveys and management, fire management—and for people in the construction and landscaping fields. Already projects are being designed to store carbon over decades in newly planted native vegetation, to restore connectivity and biodiversity in large-scale protected areas, and to train workers in restoring and maintaining wetlands and removing invasive species. Such projects could constitute the centerpiece of a global jobs program in developing and developed nations alike, training workers in environmental science and carbon sequestration.
Most important, rewilding can play a crucial role in addressing climate change. While it cannot stop the crisis by itself—only systemic changes in government policies and corporate practices can accomplish that—expanded core reserves and restored connectivity between them can stabilize and revitalize forests, protect biodiversity, reestablish the crucial balance between predator and prey, and restore the health of coastlines, prairies, deserts, oceans, and river systems. In this sense, rewilding holds the potential to stabilize far more than natural areas in peril: it can enhance and protect national security by sequestering carbon and safeguarding fresh water, fertile soils, cleaner air. It is a Marshall Plan for the planet.
Famously, Charles Darwin predicted that an extraordinary white night-blooming orchid found only in Madagascar—an orchid with a nectary so deep that only an impossibly long implement could penetrate to the pollen within— necessitated the existence of a night-flying pollinator, probably a moth equipped with a nearly foot-longproboscis. No one had ever seen such a creature. Forty years later, a night-flying subspecies of moth with a nearly foot-long proboscis was found feeding from the flower. It was named Xanthopan morganii praedicta, the Predicta moth. Nature itself is like that orchid— unique, fragile, locked in a relationship with a transient being on which it is utterly dependent: ourselves. We flew away for a while, thinking we could leave the natural world behind. But our destinies evolved together. We will survive only in a world as complex and biodiverse and interdependent as the one that created us.

Rules of Analysis
The procedural perspective has evolved into a broader effort to force "comprehensive rationality" in administrative decisionmaking.[25] This "analytic imperative," as Colin Diver describes it, is embodied in a combination of executive orders and statutes mandating that public agencies analyze the economic impact of proposed standards. There are no similar rules in the private sector. Cost-benefit analysis is almost universally avoided. Leland Johnson of the RAND Corporation has identified this as a major shortcoming of private standards-setting.[26] In short, there appear to be significant differences in the rules of analysis governing standards-setting in the public and private sectors.
Beginning with outward appearances, systematic economic analysis seems to pervade public standards-setting and elude private efforts. The CPSC prepared preliminary and final economic impact statements in both cases, quantifying costs and describing possible benefits. The FAA's full-blown economic analysis, comprising the bulk of the Federal Register notice announcing the proposed rule, quantified costs and benefits in a detailed fashion. OSHA contracted for two risk-benefit anal-
yses of the grain elevator rule, with the second addressing criticisms of the first.
By contrast, private standards-setting appears much less structured and systematic. A member of the NFPA committee on chimneys and venting—a man with a doctorate in physics, widely acknowledged to be an expert on woodstoves—recalls his initial shock at the "casual and off-handed way in which many decisions are made." Decisions made at the NFPA committee meetings on grain elevators in 1985 were similarly informal, often based on anecdotes, if on any information at all. The very notion of estimating overall benefits or costs, let alone explicitly trading them off against one another, is opposed by many in the private sector. "I don't know of any time that we have consciously gotten into cost-benefit analysis," comments a UL vice president.[27] An NFPA executive committee has spent seven years considering the appropriateness of cost-benefit analysis.[28] Many members share the feeling expressed at the organization's 1985 annual meeting that "cost-benefit analysis is not relevant to the actions of NFPA."
Of course, decisions packaged as cost-beneficial do not necessarily embody the concept of comprehensive rationality. Agency subterfuge is one reason. Procedural requirements can spur defensive tactics instead of substantive changes. For example, many agencies faced with the analytical requirements of environmental impact statements successfully repackaged their decisions without changing the outcome.[29] The same phenomenon is likely when cost-benefit analysis is mandated by statute, regulation, or executive order. What Stephen Breyer is quick to observe about public standards-setting is equally true of private efforts: the process "as it might exist in the world of the rational policy planner" almost never happens in reality.[30]
In none of the public sector case studies did the economic analysis, so prominent in the official record, appear to shape the content of the standard. The people "downstairs" write the rules at the FAA; the people "upstairs" do the cost-benefit analysis. The tasks are done more or less at the same time, and no one interviewed on either floor thinks that the cost-benefit analysis affects the substance of the rule. (Of course, it might help justify what ends up being proposed, and it certainly delays the process to some extent.) Many OSHA officials are similarly skeptical of systematic attempts to quantify costs or benefits. They view such efforts largely as methods for justification, not decisionmaking. The risk-benefit analyses funded by OSHA were done after the grain elevator standard was written. In short, analyzing public and
private standards-setting in terms of their rules of analysis is an invitation to frustration. On the public side, it is clear that the rules do not tell the whole story, while on the private side it is not even clear what the rules are. The ideal of comprehensive rationality provides little basis for evaluating or comparing standards-setting systems in a manner that illuminates the observations in chapters 7 and 8.

We all know exercise is beneficial not only for our body (who doesn't love a little extra glute-toning), but for our mental health as well. Many women track hours at the gym, have a strict running routine, or even take several group fitness classes (such as core fusion) in one day. But what's a girl to do when she's simply not feeling it? Do we really need to be so strict on ourselves?
Let's face it, we are only human. While many of us strive to be superwoman at times, even the fitness fanatics among us have their "off" days. And guess what? That's totally OK and get this…normal.
I know what it's like to feel guilt for skipping a workout. Heck, I even skipped my 6:15 a.m. Core Fusion Cardio class this morning because the gloomy weather was a huge turnoff, and well, my need for a good night's sleep was much more important to me. I had a busy week, I was tired and I needed some good old-fashioned beauty rest. Old me would have beat myself up over this for days, but new me simply let's it go. Now I don't skip my workouts every day, but when I'm not feeling it I don't force myself to go.
Anyway, I've got some good news for all of you guilt-prone ladies out there. There are little moves you can do that'll help you to be a little less hard on yourself, while not feeling like a bump on a log.
1. Make it a Clean Day: Just because you're skipping the gym doesn't make you "fat" or "unhealthy" at all. If you're letting this guilt get to you, why not make it a clean day in the kitchen? Eat a hearty breakfast filled with whole grains and protein, like rolled oats with flax seed, almond butter and sliced banana or peaches, or maybe a cage-free egg white omelet like this Vegetarian Farmer's Omelet filled with sauteed veggies and a slice of Ezekiel bread.
Then drink lots of water throughout the day to flush your system of toxins, and get rid of any extra belly bloat. For the rest of the day, fill yourself up with lots of green leafy vegetables (think kale, spinach, or collard greens), healthy fats like olive oil or coconut oil for cooking,fresh fruit, and lean proteins like antibiotic-free natural chicken or fish. As I always say, the more real and simple the food is, the better so try to avoid anything that comes from a package especially items that have dozens of ingredients.
2. Move It Along: Just because you've made the decision to take a break from that whole working out thing doesn't mean you have to sit around and eat pizza on the couch all afternoon, although we all have those kinds of days too and that's completely OK.
If you're feeling up for it, why not go for a walk with a friend around town? As you chat away, you won't even realize you've walked nearly 3 miles around the city! If you've been running like a maniac lately and have really been feeling it in your knees, a local yoga class may be a good alternative for you. Maybe it's just the weather is what's keeping you from going to your favorite class. Whenever this happens, I chose to do an at-home workout DVD or On Demand exercise instead so I can still start the day on the right food, and get a mini sweat session in.
3. Relax Alright, so you took a day (or even a week) off from running and you're feeling a little blue. Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe your body needs that break? Have you been to hard on yourself lately? Did you find yourself in a workout rut where you become angry instead of excited to take a class? These are all signs that maybe your body is craving a mini vacation from strenuous exercise.
When you find yourself feeling this way, it's best to just take some time for yourself. Cuddle up after work with some peppermint herbal tea and a good book. Close your eyes for ten, even five minutes and just breathe. Meditate. Take a long bath or shower with some aromatherapy oils. Taking care of our mental self is just as important as taking care of our physical body, so try to give yourself a little leeway.
If you're prone to guilt when you skip a workout, find it hard to relax and be at peace with yourself, or are looking for a way to revamp your diet without going on a diet, I may be able to help you. As a health coach, I work with women who are looking to get that "zest" back into their lives & escape a lifestyle of yo-yo dieting. To learn more you can visit my website here or schedule a FREE initial health consultation with me today.
Have a wonderful day,

Leicester back Niall Morris is among the new faces added to the squad set to face Samoa, Australia and New Zealand in the November series with young Leinster prop Jack McGrath another selected.
And speaking ahead of their two-day camp at Carlton House, Schmidt explained places are still very much up for grabs.
"Selection was difficult as it's the first time we have had to narrow our focus a bit and determine a cut off point for players," Schmidt said. "A number of selections were very tight which is positive.
"The group is predominantly 'tried and proven' but with some newer faces as well. It's an opportunity to get to know the players as well as an opportunity to have a look ahead and start to get a little bit of organization done for the series.
"There are a number of players such as Tommy O'Donnell, Michael Bent, Stuart Olding, Andrew Trimble, Craig Gilroy and Felix Jones that were not considered due to injury but some of these players may well be involved in the autumn as they return to full fitness and resume playing.
"There are also a few players who have not yet had many opportunities to make an impression and a few youngsters who have been impressive in the early rounds of the Pro 12 that we've left to keep working with their provinces.
"There is no doubting the challenge that autumn presents but we're looking forward to get a little bit of a head start this weekend"

Posted 8:26 PM 1/28/2013 : Immigration check at Arizona hospitals being proposed
TUCSON - Controversy surrounding a new bill making its way at the state capitol.
Critics claim house bill 2293 essentially turns hospitals into immigration checkpoints.
The measure would require uninsured patients to provide proof of citizenship.
But it provides exceptions for Canadians and many Europeans.
Sponsor Steve Smith, a Maricopa County Republican calls it a 'data collection bill'.
But Hispanic groups, predict it will make undocumented migrants less likely to seek care.
If you don't have insurance, you may be asked to show a drivers license, visa, or passport.
If you leave home without it, under the bill, the police will be called.
University of Arizona medical school professor, Dr. Dan Derksen says right now in Arizona one in five people don't have health insurance.
"So if you look at that, 6.5 million Arizonans, there's almost two million that are Hispanic or Latino," says Derksen.
Some human rights groups say the bill would legalize racial profiling.
They worry undocumented migrants won't go to the hospital or seek pre-natal care.
Clea Formac, a native of Switzerland says, "if someone needs help, especially in an emergency it doesn't matter where he's from."
"And if in an emergency case, the time it takes to check paperwork could make a difference of living or dying," says Edgar Rivera a native of Mexico.
Representative Smith insists his goal isn't to crack down on illegal immigration, but to find out how much the state pays to serve them.
If it becomes law Dr. Derksen says it would disruptive.
"This would be an enormous administrative burden for hospitals for physicians, for nurses," says Derksen, "this will get in the way of necessary care."
We reached out to Representative Smith for comment, so far he hasn't gotten back with us.

PROPER SWING TECHNIQUE: A golfer can improve the distance the ball travels by using correct technique. At the back of the swing, a golfer should reach as far back as possible for the greatest range of motion, while keeping his rotating torso centered over his right leg (for right-handed players). As the golfer swings, his body creates a torque (rotating force) on the club. As the club accelerates through the swing, it gains energy. The more tightly he controls his motion, the less energy a golfer wastes, and the more energy he transfers to the golf ball upon impact. When the club hits the ball, the golfer should drive through the swing to ensure maximum transfer of energy.
ABOUT FRACTURES: A fractured bone is the same thing as a broken bone. They occur because a bone area is unable to support the energy placed on it. That energy can be acute, as from a car crash or a two-story fall, or chronic due to low-energy repetitive activity. The latter is responsible for stress fractures, an overuse injury commonly seen in athletes. The increased demand places on the bone causes it to remodel and become stronger in areas of higher stress, but if the repetitive demands become too great, a stress fracture can result.
