Juicing: What are the health benefits?
Is juicing healthier than eating whole fruits or vegetables?
from Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.
Juicing probably is not any healthier than eating whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing extracts the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables. The resulting liquid contains most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) found in the whole fruit. However, whole fruits and vegetables also have healthy fiber, which is lost during most juicing.
Proponents say that juicing is better for you than is eating whole fruits and vegetables because your body can absorb the nutrients better and it gives your digestive system a rest from working on fiber. They say that juicing can reduce your risk of cancer, boost your immune system, help you remove toxins from your body, aid digestion, and help you lose weight.
But there's no sound scientific evidence that extracted juices are healthier than the juice you get by eating the fruit or vegetable itself. On the other hand, if you don't enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables, juicing may be a fun way to add them to your diet or to try fruits and vegetables you normally wouldn't eat. You can find many juicing recipes online or mix up your own combinations of fruits and vegetables to suit your taste.
If you do try juicing, make only as much juice as you can drink at one time because fresh squeezed juice can quickly develop harmful bacteria. And when juicing, try to keep some of the pulp. Not only does it have healthy fiber, but it can help fill you up. If you buy commercially produced fresh juice from a juicing stand or store, select a pasteurized product. Note that juices from some fruits and vegetables can contain more sugar than you might realize, and this can add unwanted calories and lead to weight gain.

"She's more energetic ... and she's more willing to try new things," he said "She's just working very hard, and she's a better person for it."
On the right track
Since the beginning of 2010, Garcia has lost 107 pounds.
There were setbacks, the biggest of which came this past August when she was in a car accident. She completed three months of physical therapy and wasn't able to go to the gym and do her daily routines for a month and a half.
She was angry at first -- mad at the person who hit her car and stalled her progress at the gym.
But she got over her initial anger, and Garcia went on a walk. This time, she wasn't alone. Her fiance, her parents, her sisters and her aunt encouraged her to stay active. As a result, Garcia went on walks with them and did yoga at a gym.
After getting back on track with her daily workouts, Garcia realized she also had to better manage her eating habits.
"For the longest, I would go to the gym and go home to eat whatever I wanted," she said. "That's not how it works. I had to learn to eat differently and to learn to like new foods."
She started doing research on proper nutrition. She read books and online articles, shopped at health foods stores and learned to prepare meals that helped her maintain a healthy diet.
Now for two hours every Sunday, Garcia grills chicken, cooks vegetables and packs fresh fruit in preparation for the upcoming week.
"(I) make eating as simple as possible," she said. "If there are a lot of ingredients, I don't want it."
The next step
Down to 128 pounds, Garcia has been left with a lot of loose skin -- particularly around her stomach. She is doing CrossFit exercises and weight training to tighten up the area.
She's also checking off some other goals.
One of the most rewarding moments in Garcia's weight loss journey was completing her first 5K run in 27 minutes.
When she first started training, running three miles took her 48 minutes. Today, she can complete it in less than 25.
"I hadn't been able to walk a lap, let alone run it," she said. "And now when I finish a workout, I really get emotional and I can't believe that I could do it."
She isn't stopping there. Garcia wants to complete a half marathon as well as the Warrior Dash in June. As a result, she might take a pool break in between.
"I really want to fit in my bikini comfortably this summer," she said.
Today, Garcia doesn't shop at plus size clothing stores anymore. She was able to drop from a size 22 to a size 6.

Jeremy Lin Will Continue to Thrive in Scoring Role for Houston Rockets
If only for one week, Linsanity has returned to the NBA . Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin is averaging 28.7 points over the course of his past three games, capping it all off with a big fourth-quarter performance at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks .

Lakers guard Steve Nash will visit with a back specialist Monday afternoon, to get to the bottom of the pain that forced him to leave Sunday's game early.
Carlos Delfino Injury: Updates on Bucks Guard's Foot Surgery, Likely Return Date
Fans in Milwaukee will have to wait until the 2014-15 season to see Carlos Delfino play another NBA game in a Bucks jersey.

The legislative session doesn't close until spring, but with a series of high-profile bills coming up, it feels like state legislators aim to end early.
Forget Steve Blake's fluky dagger, Chandler Parsons is the real...
Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Blake was credited for unsheathing the dagger that silenced the Houston Rockets in their 99-98 loss to the Lakers at Toyota Center on Thursday night, but in truth his game-winning 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining was the embodiment of affixing a bow atop another Rockets package of miserable perimeter defense.

Kalkaska raises funds for people with needs within the community
KALKASKA -- Kalkaska Area Interfaith Resources or K.A.I.R is decking the halls of the Northland Plaza in Kalkaska this week at their Festival Of Trees.
Marilyn Covill has worked with K.A.I. R for over ten years, "This is our fifteenth year and we have this year twenty eight decorated trees and some of them were decorated by businesses and others by the committee. Trees are raffled and we have a few that are up for silent auction. Plus, we have a lot of silent auction items and raffle items for people."
All of the proceeds will benefit the less fortunate in the Kalkaska area.
"Last year we raised over thirty thousand dollars and the money this year we hope will be more because the need is greater. And the money all goes to the food pantry and helping people with gas cards or medical expenses or heat, or lights or any of the needs that they might have." Said Covil.
K.A.I.R's Festival of Trees will be going on now through November 20th with Santa arriving at 12pm on Sunday afternoon for pictures.
Until then, everyday kids can write their very own letters to Santa and have him answer it before Christmas

Back Story:
In the year 2041, the human race has all but destroyed itself through warring nations. As various alliances began to form, the world became a battlefield between the West and the East, the true war to end all wars: WWIII. Just when the two sides were about to come to a peace agreement, something terrible happened. Something so cataclysmic that the world would never be the same.
June 25th, 2048: The day life on Earth as we know it came to an end. On this day, a satellite in low orbit around the Earth called "The Dark Star" -containing over two dozen nuclear warheads- inexplicably malfunctioned and came crashing down to the Earth's surface. The resulting explosion, originating in Siberia, had devastating long term effects on the globe. The U.S.A. was immediately blamed because it was their satellite, and the war continued until little was left of either side. By this time nearly every first-world nation is completely devoid of social structure, let alone government. One month later, the world's estimated total population dipped under 1 billion due to the vast amount of radiation spreading across the globe. This event, called Armageddon in The Bible, is now simply referred to as "The End" due to the collapse of organized religion.
The current year is 25 A.E. (2073 A.D.), two and a half decades after "The End". The Earth is still covered in dark clouds that block out the sun, and Earth is experiencing a perpetual winter. What's left of the Human race has since picked itself up and restarted in Europe, Africa and the Americas. Much of Northern Asia is inhospitable due to intense radiation that still pours out from the impact zone. As the humans continue to survive, there is still a lack of a true social order or government. Public services such as schools and hospitals are still being rebuilt, but the law is carried out by vigilantes who make the rules themselves. Most people live by the bare minimum, fending for their families and themselves only.
One generation later, a sub-species of human has emerged, possessing special abilities. Those who have these abilities are a minority among ordinary humans, and are feared for their extraordinary powers. For this reason, they are named "Shades", in reference to their genetic origin in the mutation resulting from Dark Star Radiation. Now having blended in to human society, the Shades mostly keep their abilities hidden from the world for fear pf persecution. Some, however use their powers for their own selfish advances. And one would use his own to force what remains of human life bend to his will. All he needs is time, so long as no-one opposes him...
1. I am the game master, and while I don't intend on abusing my powers I will take action if the following rules are not obeyed. By game master I mean the person who controls npc's and moderates the flow of the story.
2. No god-modding, this includes controlling the actions of another player's character or the actions of an npc (with certain exceptions that I will judge based on context)
3. Be kind to everyone playing, keep rude or vulgar comments to yourself.
4. Anything I say goes, in case I wasn't clear in rule 1. Again, I will not abuse this power unless the situation calls for it.
5. One character per person.
6. I am allowed to add rules at any time without prior notice. When I do I'll remind everyone to look for it, but it is your responsibility to know the rules before signing up.

Museum Victoria holds three specimes that were collected in South America by Darwin during the voyage of HMS Beagle. Two of these are birds from Uruguay: a Great Pampa-finch and a Grassland Sparrow.
These three specimens hold great significance because the observations that Darwin made on this voyage led him to his theory of evolution that he co-presented in 1858 with Alfred Russel Wallace, and expanded upon in 1859's On the Origin of Species.

Mater Dei Wins Battle for First
Ben Collman/Todd Gold
Thursday, April 28, 2011
Mater Dei 12, JSerra 4
Don't let the score fool you, this one was a lot closer than the 12-4 final would suggest. After JSerra drew first blood with a run in the top of the first, Mater Dei answered back with
Jeremy Martinez
's three-run Home Run in the bottom half. The Monarchs would never relinquish the lead, though things got tense when JSerra cut the lead to one (5-4) in the top of the fifth. But several errors led to a monster seven run inning for Mater Dei who never looked back en route to retaking sole possession of first place in the Trinity League.
When Mater Dei head coach Burt Call was asked about what was going through his head when JSerra cut the lead to one, he said of his team's resiliency "our team has been like that all year, when a team pushes them they answer back, I'm very proud of them." Jeremy Martinez finished the day with five RBIs, going 2-for-3. Starter Davis Tominaga earned the win, going six strong innings for Mater Dei, while
Ryan Teel
had a 4-for-4 day and
Ty Moore
went 2-for-3 before closing out the seventh inning.
Call said of Tominaga "he pitched very well, his fastball and changeup were both working well, he kept the ball down and did a great job. He's only a sophomore and he's really matured throughout the season on the mound and we expect good things from him throughout the year."
The defending CIF Champions improved to 18-5 (9-2) on the year and are in position to land a high seed for this year's playoffs. JSerra drops to 19-4 (8-3), though both teams are playoff bound and appear to be strong contenders for the CIF Championship. Mater Dei now has not only a one-game lead, but also the tie breaker over JSerra. That tie-breaker could be important since the Monarchs will face Servite twice next week, meaning they are almost certain to face left handed ace
Cole Irvin
. Call said of taking the lead in the League race "that's the position we wanted to be in after this week, we control our own destiny."
The loss snaps JSerra's twelve game winning streak, something that head coach Brett Kay thinks can be a positive, saying "that game hurt but I'd rather it happen now than in CIF. I'd rather not have that type of streak in CIF where they're scared to go out and make mistakes." JSerra's winning streak spanned over a month, with their previous loss coming in the first meeting with Mater Dei on March 25.
Meanwhile Mater Dei is also trying not to let the pressure of being the defending champions affect them. Call said "we don't talk about last year's team, it's a different team. We just want to go about our business this year, one of our goals is to win the league. Once the league is over we'll focus on the playoffs."
Both of these teams have the talent to make deep runs in the playoffs and could possibly meet for the fourth time this season.
One of the toughest leagues in southern California has a very tight race coming down the stretch. JSerra (CA) battled back from a five run deficit to knock off defending CIF Southern Section champion Mater Dei 10-9 on Tuesday. JSerra has now won twelve straight games and erased Mater Dei's two game lead to move into a first place tie with the Monarchs.
Tuesday's matchup at JSerra certainly had a big game feel to it. Mater Dei had been in the driver's seat for most of the season but a hot streak from JSerra got them to within just a game heading into this week's home and home series. Mater Dei pulled out to a five run lead in the fourth inning, before JSerra battled back as they have done numerous times before this season. Trailing 9-4 in the fourth the Lions rallied for a couple of runs in the bottom of the frame, pushed across three in the sixth to pull even before Joey Ponder executed a game winning suicide squeeze with two strikes in the bottom of the seventh.
JSerra coach Brett Kay said "the suicide squeeze is something we work on all the time, it was a gamble, a two-strike squeeze is an even bigger gamble but I had faith in Ponder to get it down." The gamble paid off and the Lions are now 19-3 on the season. Following JSerra's
come from behind win
in the championship game of the Anaheim Lions tournament three weeks ago Kay was asked about whether he thought the Lions had a chance to catch Mater Dei. Kay said "we think we can catch them, they're talented but we're no slouches either, we've got to play our best game against them." When asked if he thought the Lions played their best game on Tuesday he said "offensively it was the best we've swung the bat in my five years here, defensively we could have done some things better but we only made two bad pitches."
Its hard to argue with Kay's assessment of the offense, facing Junior
Ty Moore
, who was part of a combined perfect game in the 2010 championhip game, the Lions piled up 18 hits. Mater Dei's
Ryan Teel
had a big day at the plate as well, going 3-for-4 with two Home Runs including a grand slam for a seven RBI game. JSerra spread their production throughout the lineup, with only leadoff man Austin Hedges (who was walked twice) going hitless. Junior OF
Tanner Bily
went 3-for-4 with a game tying Home Run in the sixth for the Lions and was a double short of the cycle.
Now with five games left in League play the race is down to three teams, 6-3 St. John Bosco trails 8-2 JSerra and Mater Dei. The last time JSerra lost was on March 25th...to Mater Dei. With the season series tied at one game a piece Saturday's rubber game has a lot more than bragging rights at stake. Kay, who is in his fifth season as head coach at JSerra played his high school ball at Mater Dei. Kay said of facing his alma mater "playing against them is special for me and I think our guys can sense it, my old high school coach [Bob Ickes] is still on their staff. I wear #13 because of him and he's a big part of why I got into coaching."
This matchup has enough implications that it can possibly overshadow the amount of talent that will be on the field. JSerra is currently ranked #13 in the nation, Mater Dei #39. There are a number of pro prospects and nearly every position on the field will feature a player who will go on to play at the next level. JSerra has won two very good tournaments this year; the Newport Elks and the Anaheim Lions. Mater Dei though won the biggest tournament of them all: the CIF Championship.
On Saturday JSerra will send Taylor Charpie to the mound, he will be opposed by Mater Dei's Davis Tominaga. Mater Dei head coach Burt Call said of the game "it's a very big game, whoever wins will take control of the league and there will be seeding implications." Kay agreed, saying "this is the biggest game of the year, Tuesday was the best high school game I've been a part of and I think Saturday will be no holds barred."

October 12, 2005 Gabriel Trujillo, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières' (MSF) program manager in Sudan, has returned from Darfur in September. In the western part of the province where MSF is working, displaced people continue to live without any sense of security and are still affected by ongoing violence and tensions. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF OUR ACTIVITIES IN DARFUR?In western Darfur, there is a continuing, and even increasing, level of insecurity both inside and outside the camps. Furthermore, the displaced persons are still subject to ongoing pressure regarding their possible return. At the same time, it's clear that there is no political solution to the conflict. In this context of sustained tension and insecurity, it is absolutely crucial that Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) continues to have a presence. In late 2003 and early 2004, when MSF's activities were getting underway in Darfur, the needs of the displaced civilians were huge, so we set up wide-ranging medical, nutritional, and sanitation activities. This was the MSF's largest emergency operation in 10 years. The situation has changed since then. The number of humanitarian actors in the field has increased and epidemiological indicators show that the medical and nutritional needs of the displaced people are being addressed, overall. However, considering the situation by looking at numbers alone is not an adequate basis for making decisions about MSF's activities. The statistical indicators (including mortality rates, coverage of nutritional needs, and others) are below emergency levels, but the displaced people in the camps are still living in precarious conditions and disparities persist between the three states of North, South, and West Darfur. WHAT ASSISTANCE IS MSF PROVIDING THE POPULATIONS?In West Darfur, MSF is continuing medical activities in El Geneina, Mornay, Zalingei, and Niertiti serving 300,000 people, half of whom are displaced. At the El Geneina hospital, MSF has restored the operating room and is working in the pediatrics department, among other activities. MSF will wind up our activities there at the end of September because this ministry of health facility can now function without MSF, as other organizations are also working inside the hospital. However, MSF will maintain the health facility that the teams created in Mornay, a small town where nearly 70,000 displaced persons still live. MSF's medical activities are still operating at a very high level, with close to 6,000 consultations every month. MSF is continuing our medical assistance in Zalingei, where teams are working in a health center in a displaced persons camp and are working in the hospital pediatric department, as well as in Niertiti, in the Jebal Mara foothills in the heart of Darfur, where teams are managing a health center with hospital beds. In the nutritional area in West Darfur, MSF is treating several severely malnourished children in Mornay, Zalingei and Niertiti. In Mornay, medical teams observed an increase in admissions during several weeks in July after the World Food Program (WFP) ended its food distributions, so MSF had to reopen our therapeutic feeding center. In Zalengei, however, malnutrition is linked to episodes of diarrhea during the rainy season, just like in Niertiti. There, MSF teams see children coming from the Jebel Mara, where the WFP is not conducting any food distributions, but where people can farm. Thus, apart from a few sporadic admissions, MSF is not seeing any nutritional problems for the populations. WILL OUR PRESENCE CHANGE?MSF has begun to deploy mobile medical services in the Jebel Mara. Once a week, MSF sets up a mobile clinic in Thur and one in Kuthrum, two completely isolated sites. The Sudanese government controls Thur and the SLA, one of the Darfur rebel movements, controls Kuthrum. Each site has around 25,000 people. It is hard to estimate the level of violence they are experiencing, but their isolation in the Jebel Mara has deprived them of access to care. MSF is going to try to increase the frequency of visits. Last, MSF will strengthen our medical activities to better respond to violence against women carried out in Mornay, Zalingei, and Niertiti. The persistent violence in the camps for displaced persons targets primarily women. Respiratory infections are the main cause of admissions (13 percent of patients) to the emergency department in the hospital MSF manages in Mornay. But violence ranks just below that, with 11 percent of patients being victims of direct violence (wounds and burns) and 3 percent the victims of sexual violence. |

Good News Folks!!! While we were putting in the jukebox we found a stash of the Greenhornes & Wussy 2013 Record Store Day releases! We are finalizing the details on our 2013 Shake It Exclusive Black Friday releases & will announce them shortly !!!
The Greenhornes - Live at Shake It Records 2001 - LP (Shake 1269) Super-crunchy live show captured then squirelled away for over a decade! A selection of 14 high-octane garage/beat blow-outs covering up through their first 3 LPs. One song from this set was released on a live Greenhornes 7" from way back in 2002 that went out of print instantly. The rest are unreleased crunchers. Limited to 700 in an aped, classic Trade Mark of Quality 1970's era boot. Hand Numbered.
Wussy - Wussy Duo - 7 track CDep (Shake 570) 2013 will see Wussy hit the road some more, but some of the shows will be a slimmed-down line-up of Chuck & Lisa. No!!! They haven't broken up! Local Cincinnati and distant UK fans alike are treated to the duo line-up from time to time. And they have decided to take it on the road abit in mid thru late 2013 in between full line-up shows and starting work on the upcoming record. So here you have a 7 track snapshot of what you can expect. Limited to 600 in a band-stamped sleeve. Hand Numbered.
Don't forget, we also have recently released Play It Like You Did Back To George Street: An Anthology of Cincinnati Blues 1927-1936. For now, the release will only be available as a double LP with a download. Folks like Papa Tadpole, Cincinnati Jug Band, Sam Jones (Stovepipe No. 1), King David Jug Band, Kid Cole, Bob Coleman and more are featured. The comp focuses on musicians that lived in and made their livings playing music in Cincinnati in the 1920's and 30's. The grooves are filled with topical songs that chart a long-gone Cincinnati - such as "I'm Going To Cincinnati", "George Street Stomp", "Court Street Blues", "Sixth Street Moan", "Clair and Pearley Blues", "Cincinnati Underworld Woman", and an ode to our neighbor across the Ohio with "Newport Blues". Liner notes (all 4500 words of 'em) written by Steve Tracy and cover artwork from underground comic great Justin Green round out the package.
The latest 2 volumes in the Dangerous Highway: A Tribute to the Songs of Eddie Hinton 7" series are also avaiable. This time around we have Buffalo Killers bringing in two sides produced by Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys - and then a split 7" with Heartless Bastards and Wussy. We still have in limited quantities the first 2 volumes from Drive-By Truckers and Greg Dulli. And Wussy's 2005 debut Funeral Dress is now on colored vinyl (+ download and insert). A limited edition of 500 were pressed for Record Store Day 2012. Copies of all these (and more!) are available online via the Shake It Mailorder Catalog.
Along the way we began selling other music we liked via the label-related mailorder catalog that eventually evolved into a 1,000 square foot storefront in the Spring of 1999 in the neighborhood of Northside - just outside of downtown Cincinnati, one neighborhood over from the University of Cincinnati. On Sept, 11th 2001 we moved to our present 3,200+ square foot location just a block south of our original site. For a complete tour of our storefront please go to tour the store. If you happen to be passin' through Cincinnati, we are just a few minutes off of both the I-74 & I-75 highways. Click here for directions.
Our current store stocks over 30,000 titles on compact disc plus approximately 8000 titles on vinyl. In addition, we have well-stocked used cd & lp selections. We carry some mainstream releases, but we specialize in independent labels from the obvious to the obscure - Chicago post-punk art-rock to Ethiopian boog-a-loo and all stops in between - rockabilly, vintage soul, r&b & blues, punk/hardcore, classic country & the best of the new breed, 60's garage & psych, reggae/dub/rocksteady & vintage ska, krautrock, creative hip-hop & electronica, tons of straight ahead rock n' roll & "alternative", plus vintage bop, cool & avant garde jazz, cult soundtracks, Afrobeat/funk, "difficult listening" and much more. We're introducing new releases and back catalog items every day, so there's always something new in the bins. It would be physically impossible for us to carry every title we would like, so we offer a special order program that gives us access to over 400,000 domestic & import titles at any one time in all genres and on all available formats. Many show up in a couple of days while others, like some imports & microscopic indies, are a bit trickier and take more time. In addition we also carry a related selection of over 1200 DVD's, 3,000 books and nearly 400 music & related culture magazines & fanzines. In addition we also stock an ever rotating selection of kubricks, be@rbricks, limited edition Japanese & Western vinyl figures from such designers as Michael Lau, Dalek, Kaws, Brothersfree and many others.
Our continued growth is due to our commitment to providing quality customer service, striving for the best selection of music in Cincinnati, our enthusiasm for the music we sell & its related culture and involvement in our community. We know our customers have choices when it comes to fulfilling their music needs and we appreciate the opportunity in trying to meet those needs.

20 Feet From Stardom
We took a break from the heat this weekend and slipped into Amherst Cinema to see 20 Feet From Stardom. Morgan Neville's powerful documentary runs the emotional gamut in focusing on the lives of backup singers Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Claudia Lennear, Lisa Fischer, Tata Vega, Judith Hill, and others who've made their mark on recordings by Ray Charles, Ike & Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Joe Cocker, George Harrison, Tom Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Sting, and countless others. As Love asserts, backups often sing the hooks and harmonies that make these tunes hits, and it's their parts that listeners tend to sing along with and remember best. For that alone, they should be better known.
(Darlene Love, Tata Vega, Merry Clayton, Judith Hill, and Lisa Fischer)
Love proves to be a stirring source for Neville. The story she relates of working for Phil Spector epitomizes the struggle faced by many of these singers, and to hear her tell it is especially poignant. She quit the biz altogether in the wake of a Spector double-cross, but it was hearing her 1963 Philles Records classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on the radio while she was working as a house cleaner in the early 80's that spurred her return to action. "My life has been all about trying to make a success of the gift that I have," she reflects.
Love's story adds a measure of triumph to the mixed-bag of ups and downs related in Twenty Feet. Since 1986, her annual appearance singing "Christmas" on Late Night with David Letterman has been for millions the real curtain-raiser on the Yuletide season. Love, who sang with The Blossoms and was the actual, though uncredited lead singer on a pair of mega-hits by The Crystals, was elected to the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.
(Ike & Tina) (Mick & Claudia)
By contrast, there's Claudia Lennear, the onetime Ikette who sang with George Harrison at The Concert for Bangladesh and toured with the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Joe Cocker; cavorted with Mick Jagger; posed for Playboy; and was reputedly the inspiration for "Brown Sugar." The Providence native now teaches Spanish in a Learning Assistance Center in Los Angeles and recently said that she'd like to sing with the LA Philharmonic Master Chorale. Lennear's dedication to community service helps her take it in stride, though she appears bemused over what was and is no longer, and admits in a feature article in PopMatters that appearing in the film brought up "situations and events" that she'd "put on the back burner...and repressed." Now in her early 60's, she looks great and sounds as beautiful as ever.
Of her 20 Feet co-stars, Lennear told Pop Matters, "Merry and I used to do background sessions together...Lisa Fischer is just phenomenal. She's just one of the best singers I've ever heard. I've always admired Darlene Love's music and her voice. She's another one of those heroes from back in the day. I didn't know until this film that she was the voice of the Crystals. I used to buy their records left and right! I got really emotional because a lot of the things that she was saying about the Phil Spector days just brought it all home to me about the Ike Turner days. He would pick our brains for ideas. We'd come up with lines for a song and then he would take off. We never got paid for any of that but I think that was the culture at that point. For all of the wonderful and rich experiences I did get from Ike Turner, I sort of just dismissed it. It's over now. It's part of the past but it helped me connect with Darlene's situation."
Merry Clayton's voice-cracking octave leap on "Gimme Shelter" is one of the most famous contributions that any of these ladies has made to a hit recording, and it's a gas seeing her and Jagger listening to this isolated track of her unforgettable declamation, "Rape, murder…It's just a shot away!" But it's preceded by a false note as Clayton recalls the late night call she received asking her to come promptly to the L.A. studio where the Stones were recording. In the movie, she feigns not knowing who they were. "The Rolling what?" she recalls wondering, much to the tittering amusement of the Amherst audience. While I've never had any trouble believing that Muddy Waters was genuinely unaware when he introduced (at his manager's insistence) Bob Dylan as "our good friend, John Dylan," at the Bottom Line back in the day, it's incredible to think that Clayton, who'd been singing on major pop records since 1962, didn't know of the Stones by '69.
20 Feet also leaves uncontested the spurious notion that Clayton failed to enjoy success as a solo artist because the industry had room for only "one Aretha." The film includes a complete performance by Merry and her band from around the time that hit-maker Lew Adler produced three LP's on her in the mid-70's. The footage makes for wonderful time-capsule material, but it hardly supports the idea that she was in Aretha's league. Clayton's renown is secure as a background singer, and while the bread's a lot lighter than what the headliners take home, there's no shame in it.
Just ask Mable John, the former Raelette who recorded as a solo artist for Motown and Stax in the 60's before turning to gospel music and church ministry in 1976. Mable's a proud, centering force in 20 Feet, a lady with no regrets and a deep sense of conviction that she's used her voice in the very spirit in which it was nurtured. But speaking of Raelettes, I missed hearing anyone mention Margie Hendricks. The prototypical backup, Margie's the gal who laid it on the line in "Hit the Road, Jack;" got a chorus to herself, and a shout out from Ray, on "Night Time Is The Right Time;" and was with the Raelettes on "What'd I Say." In 20 Feet From Stardom, Stevie Wonder, a generous source throughout, sings the "Hey…, Ho…, You make me feel so good…," of Ray's 1959 classic without accompaniment. Stevie's unanswered calls underscore all you need to know about how essential the backups are, even from twenty feet away.
Good review, disappointing movie
I enjoyed this review, and it's important and overdue that someone would shine a light on these great singers, but the 20 Feet From Stardom left me unsatisfied. Where were the stories of how these singers approach a new song in the studio? I was left hungry wanting to know more about what they're thinking when they're creating. I did appreciate that they didn't sing from charts, but it should have gone further in exploring the different singers' contributions and their role working in studio or on stage with the musicians, producers, and arrangers . (I do realize that the technique of dancing like an Ikette is self-evident.) I was surprised that the film-maker didn't tell the story of how Luther Vandross gave Bowie the idea for the climactic vocal break in "Young Americans," though they showed a clip of it.
The quotes from Claudia Lennear cited in this review are more compelling than the dramatic roles the film-makers impose on the singers. Glad the movie was made, but I wanted more on how the singers made their musical contributions to each song, less on the experts, celebrities and dramatic arcs.

Richard Tuttle interviewed during the installation of The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989.
Drawing on Asian aesthetics of Minimalism and the philosophies of Zen Buddhism, artist Richard Tuttle strives for the "perfect balance between imminence and transcendence" in his art. Of his white octagons, he says, "The humbleness of these is actually balanced by the anything-but-humble ambition to create a new form."

AuthenTec has made a name for itself in the mobile and network security worlds. Its tech helps protect people and organizations through secure networking, content and data protection, access control and fingerprint security on PCs and mobile devices.
Perhaps ironically, Apple rival Samsung just selected AuthenTec's VPN security to beef up enterprise security on new Android smartphone and tablets in mid-July. AuthenTec's QuickSec Mobile VPN Client for Android continues to gain traction and broad acceptance in the market. Apple may shut down the Android side as it integrates the tech into its devices, leaving Samsung looking for a new partner.
Out of the Box Security
The need for VPN security that allows smartphone and tablet users to easily and securely connect to enterprise networks continues to grow. According to Cisco , by the end of 2012 the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the number of people on the earth.
If AuthenTec's deal with Samsung offers any clues, Apple iPhones and iPads equipped with AuthenTec's VPN Client will be ready to connect to enterprise networks the moment they are unboxed. That would eliminate the need for IT administrators to install a separate VPN application.
Apple, though, may not rein in the technology all for itself. AuthenTec's products and technologies provide security on hundreds of millions of devices, and the company has shipped more than 100 million fingerprint sensors for integration in a wide range of portable electronics, including more than 15 million mobile phones.

Who Do You Think You Are? BBC
2004 | London, England
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE-BBC?", is a British TV show that has been running since 2004. It is a genealogical documentary series that unveils the family history of different well know individuals living today.
Personal History has been a passion for millions of individuals and families world wide. There are companies that have been developed to supply these genealogists with the records they need to trace their ancestry and create their own personal family histories. FOOTNOTE.COM is one of these organizations. They have teamed up with the National Archives and a number of other archival institutions to help people connect to their past. Some of the celebrities featured in this BBC TV show have been Jeremy Irons, Davina McCall, and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. The show runs for an hour with no commercial breaks. There is a great Facebook site that one can refer to, "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE - LIVE". Become a fan!
Wall to Wall productions, a part of Shed Media Group created "Who Do You Think You Are?" to help the public quench their thirst for information concerning the rich and famous. Not only are celebrities personal lives open to view, but now we can uncover the courageous and possibly soiled acts committed throughout their families history!
"Who Do You Think You Are?" not only continues to run in England, but it is also broadcast in Australia, Canada, Ireland and Sweden. The biggest announcement lately has been that the US is going to be the next country to adopt this new series!
Tracing and Exposing US Celebrity History
05 March 2010 | United States
NBC has announced a new reality TV series premiering March 5th, 2010 at 8/7c as mentioned in the comment below. The US's version of "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE" will take a celebrity, trace his/her family history, and present the results of their genealogical research to the public. If the show follows the same pattern as her BBC sister, it will be a weekly production. Even though this new series will be in an hour time slot, with commercials, it will run about 42 minutes.
The executive producer of the show is none other than Lisa Kidrow. She will share the spotlight with Sarah Jessica Parker and Susan Surandon. They will be the first celebrities exploring their family histories on the this new live TV show. It doesn't look like NBC is holding anything back from this family history expose'. Fed by genealogical research, celebrities will be taken on a journey through their families history. Stories of courage and heroism will likely be found, along with some disappointing discoveries as well. What impact did their families have on this country? What kind of personalities existed that match their own? All of these facts will rise to the surface as we take our journey through the lives of these famous people. Reality shows have taken over the air waves, but I believe this new series is the first to link the present with the past.
What Effect Will This Have On America, and Who's Next?!
2009 | Lindon, UT
It is hard to say what effect "Who Do You Think You Are" will have on our country. I am sure that a show on TV which traces the family history of living celebrities will increase the common US citizens desire to discover their own. Connections will be made as they were when PRESIDENT BUSH discovered that he was related to both Dick Chaney, and Barak Obama! Genealogical research will surly increase as people begin to see what a closely knit group of people we really are.
The seven celebrities being featured this year will be EMMITT SMITH, LISA KUDROW, SUSAN SERANDON, SARAH JESSICA PARKER, MATTHEW BRODERICK, BROOK SHIELDS and SPIKE LEE.
Humorous and serious facts have already come out about certain celebrities. Imagine what we will find in their pasts. I can see Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Angelina Jolie, Tiger Woods or numerous others being showcased in the future.The sky is the limit with this exciting new TV endeavor!
Overall, this is one of the most positive reality shows to come out in a long time. If it receives the attention it has in other countries this new series could produce years of exciting episodes. Tracing our ancestors helps us to understand who we are. I look forward to seeing the first edition and the discoveries that are made! To know who you are you need to know where you came from!!
Who Do You Think You Are - Premiere Review
07 March 2010 | Lindon, UT
The first show has previewed and has received different reviews. THE LOS ANGELES TIMES was critical of the show and how Sarah Jessica Parker seemed to be overacting after the shows she has done. I saw the show and have to agree in part that the acting was seemed cotrived not real. However the history and the actual findings were great. We were taken from Ohio to the Gold Fields in California and then on to the 17th century Salem Witch Trials in Massachussetts.
Did you know that an African-American owned ancestry tracing company (including a leading Black scientist), is the power behind discovering the African roots of Emmitt Smith and Spike Lee as a part of the show? That's right. As the trend toward ancestry tracing continues to rise, African Ancestry is the only resource that can trace African origins through DNA. And general market ancestry companies and media turn to African Ancestry to enhance their efforts in discovering the roots of their African American participants. As you may know, many African Americans -- including your readers - cannot rely on traditional vehicles for tracing their roots due to the breakdown of information as a result of Trans-Atlantic slave trade. But African Ancestry bypasses those hurdles through science, to more accurately determine where bloodlines originated in Africa. We invite you to explore www.AfricanAncestry.com to get more information of the hundreds of celebrities we've tested as well as the impact of thousands of African Americans we've tested since our creation seven years ago. We're excited about Who Do You Think You Are? and as the momentum builds among mainstream experts and media outlets weighing in on the dialogue, we'd like to offer an expert African American voice in the mix -- africanancestry.com available to discuss how and where they traced Smith's and Lee's ancestry for Who Do You Think You Are and provide a deeper context for the growing trend in African roots tracing in the U.S.
04 Mar 2010
Thanks for setting me straight on the date and time!
16 Feb 2010
The actual airing date for Who Do You Think You Are? is March 5th, 2010 at 8/7c on NBC - not April 2010 as mentioned above. Should be a great show for those who were curious about genealogy and family history, but haven't started their research.
15 Feb 2010
Let the show begin! Can't wait for April. Thanks.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Facilities: Being constantly reminded of the opportunity at the facility we have for studying, researching, tutoring, job opportunities for students at the facility. Everybody there are amazing people and they go above and beyond to help you achieve you academic goals. Nobody will ever feel lost as long as there asking questions and keeping up with their goals.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: Overall my experience at the college has be great. My teachers are very flexible when I cant make it to class.
A A+F Overall Experience: So far everything is going amazingly and according to plan. My teachers are very helpful and learning is a lot better for me now then when I was in high school.
Student Body: I have not met any of the student body for my college. I am not able to rate or review on this.
A A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The tuition is not as expensive as most colleges and the financial aid process was quick, easy hassle free. All my tuition and financial aid questions were answered and i was comfortable with the knowledge i got for the answers.
B+ A+F Overall Experience: It is close to home, it saves me money, it is a fairly good education with standards. I would really like to finish as many credits as I can to move on to a university. They do offer a high amount of credits for my degree which is nice because that saves me even more money in the long run. I would like to go to a school with more school spirit and and more available teaching assistants. But I do get an education and I do learn a lot while I am here. If a guidance counselor could have some time to see me maybe my outlook on this campus would be different.
A A+F Student Body: I do not live on campus. I am only here from the time I start classes to the time they end and any breaks in between. I am not outgoing so I do not seek out other student relationships.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: No experiences in this area in particular.
A+ A+F Online Courses: I have never taken a strictly online course through this college.
C+ A+F Academic Experience: The professors seem a bit over zealous with the work load they put on students. They also pile on pressure for assignments, then the only offer a small amount of points for them and the total amount of points in the class. That makes it incredibly difficult to come back from one bad test or assignment. I have never heard of internships for my degree on this campus. The professors seem to think that they teach at a division 1 school and grade harshly. They leave no room for error.
C- A+F Academic Experience: I do not like the teaching style of most professors on this campus. They are rude and talk down to students, making them feel incompetent in their work.
C+ A+F Facilities: I don't know of anything because I ave never been offered any kind of orientation when first accepted. I don't know of any sort of social events or athletic events. It isn't usually posted in easy to find areas.
C+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I do not receive financial aid. The process is difficult and when I apply every year I never qualify for scholarships. The rate of tuition per credit hour is great but it adds up quickly. Being a full time student and have a full time and another part time jobs comes with a lot of stress. I wouldn't have to work that much if I could receive financial aid. I do not get the most out of the book I am required to buy, and its gets even more frustrating when the book store only offers maybe $10 for the book at the end of the semester. I have heard from those who have received scholarships and grants that the timing to get them is always after the payment due date so they end up paying late fees. That is still better than not receiving aid though.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: The gym and workout area is up to date with equipment. The staff is always there to help and give tips. The library is always ready to help whether the computer is acting up or you have a math problem that you cannot solve on your own. The campus is laid out in a way that makes it possible to easily find buildings and classrooms. The staff tries to be nice and knowledgable but it doesn't always work out that way.
C+ A+F Campus Resources: Wireless networking has its days where it can be unreliable but the good days outweigh the bad. This campus now uses WEPA for printing so that makes a lot of students unhappy. We didn't have to pay a year ago and now it gets expensive. I prefer a personal computer because wherever you save your work it can be saved onto your school account and be accessed at anytime anywhere. There are plenty of computers on campus with mostly up to date software.
A+ A+F Career Services: I haven't tried anything in that area at this school yet so I have no opinion on the subject.
A A+F Online Courses: Yavapai has this thing called "Discussion Board" where all of the students can have a say in each assignment.
A A+F Campus Resources: I love how the library has multiple rooms for study groups.
Career Services: I have never talked to someone about a new career.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: I love the class sizes; it makes interacting with the instructor much easier.
A+ A+F Student Body: My classes generally include a more mature student. Seems we all work while trying to do school.
A+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I have applied many times for grants and scholarships thru the college but have not gotten selected. I was approved for a financial aid loan however the stipulations required me to take another class, which defeated the purpose of getting a loan.
A+ A+F Academic Experience: The registration process is simple. I am taking classes for a medical coding certificate. Most of this has been on line. The majority of the teachers there are great! There have been 2 instances where I registered for class and then it was cancelled due to either lack of teacher or students.
B+ A+F Academic Experience: Yavapai College is somewhat of a smaller community college so the classes aren't terribly overcrowded. I have found that with having 30 or so students in your class as apposed to 100 people in your class makes it a lot easier to have one-on-one interaction with the professors. My professors have made it well understood that if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns, they will always be there to help.
B A+F Academic Experience: I am currently enrolled in a community college with an associate of arts degree in hopes to transfer to a major university next year and persue forensic psychology. The classes that I'm taking are all GE, university transferable, and will all help me gain the knowledge as well as experience in the field I wish to evertually get in to.

Osirec Ancient Egypt Themed Watches
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Aside from the artistic dials, the watches themselves have a classic sport style to them. Cases are steel and 42mm wide. Crystal is sapphire, and the cases are water resistant to 100 meters. Osirec interestingly uses very large chronograph pushers in addition to a nicely sized crown - though I would have liked the crown to have some thematic imagery on it. Inside the watches are Swiss ETA 7750 automatic chronograph movements that have been decorated with perlage polishing.
The watches are available with and without rotating diver's bezels. Without a rotating bezel they have smooth polished bezels. Osirec watches come leather straps available in a few different colors. The brand will offer their full collection of timepieces online via their website. Price for Osirec Lotus and Horus watches will be about $2,000. Sales start online at the end of October, 2010.

Are you searching for a surgeon to perform your breast augmentation? Are you concerned about cost and the differences in cost from surgeon to surgeon? Women everyday are searching for the right plastic surgeon to perform a breast augmentation for them. There are many factors that go into the final decision as far as which surgeon they choose. A main concern for many women is the cost of the procedure. While a very inexpensive breast augmentation may sound alluring, there are certain potential risks that correlate with the price differences of the procedure.
A board certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, may charge more than a non-board certified physician performing the same procedure. So what is the difference between a board certified plastic surgeon and a non-board certified physician? A board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a membership with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ensures that your surgeon is fully qualified to perform your surgery. It guarantees the patient that their surgeon has completed high standards of training, ethics, practice and research in the field of plastic surgery. As advocates for the patient, the ASPS ensures safe, ethical practice and competence of the surgeon. When choosing a physician that is not board certified nor a member of the ASPS, there is no safeguards as to the competence of the surgeon nor the training or outcome of the surgical procedure.
Ensuring the surgeon is operating out of an accredited ambulatory surgery center is another factor that can affect the price of a breast augmentation. So what does an accreditation mean to you, the patient? An accreditation is a voluntary process through which a surgery center is able to measure the quality of patient care, services, and performance against nationally-recognized standards. This accreditation guarantees that the surgery center is committed to high-quality health care and has proved it through the accreditation process. A board certified plastic surgeon and members of the ASPS are required to only operate out of fully-accredited ambulatory surgery centers.
When receiving a price quote for a breast augmentation surgery, it is often broken down by surgeons fees, operating room expenses, anesthesiologist fees and cost of implants. When choosing the type of anesthesia delivery for an operation, a physician has the option of using an anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or in some extreme cases no general anesthesia at all. All of these option affect the price of your breast augmentation surgery. As with a board certified plastic surgeon, an anesthesiologist ensures the patient that the doctor has completed the rigorous training, research, ethics, and procedures required to be fully capable and competent in anesthesia. A nurse anesthetist is required to go through specific training in order to be certified, however, a nurse anesthetist does not have the medical training and background that an anesthesiologist does.
Once you have decided to go forward with surgery, the type of breast implant you choose, silicone or saline, can affect the pricing, as silicone implants are more expensive. Also, it is imperative that you make sure your surgeon is not using expired implants. All implants have a 'shelf life' guaranteeing the quality of the medical device and warranty of the product. This information can easily be obtained by contacting the breast implant company being used by the physician, generally either Allergan or Mentor. It should be known by the prospective patient that non-FDA approved implants are not recommended for usage by the ASPS. The company will need a serial number for the breast implant, which all breast implants have and can be obtained through the physician. Once the breast implants have been implanted into the body, it is required for the surgeon to give the patient an 'implant card' detailing the information about the breast implants used with the serial number, type, style etc for the patients records. If you do not have this, make sure to ask your implanting physician for this information. If the implant is expired, there is no warranty if the product is defective and there is no guarantee for the quality of the medical device.
Finally, understanding the amount of time your surgeon spends on your breast augmentation as well as the amount of time in the recovery room, can not only affect the final outcome but also the amount you pay for your procedure. When a surgeon claims to do a 30-45 minute breast augmentation, the patient should consider the quality of work being performed and the attention to detail that may be lacking. In general, a breast augmentation takes 1-2 hours to perform, without recovery time. Once the surgery is completed, a patient usually spends at least an hour, if not more, in recovery. During the recovery period, the patient is being constantly monitored by a registered nurse, and must be discharged by both the anesthesiologist and surgeon, ensuring that it is safe for the patient to be released. If the surgeon that you are considering is not living up to these general standards, it may be a red flag to reconsider and/or ask a lot more questions.
Having said all of this, these are only questions and considerations that a knowledgeable prospective patient should ponder and ask their surgeon to ensure a safe, positive operation with the outcome you desire.

as seen on Bravo's WORKOUT and ExerciseTV
ph: (310) 386-5684
Who is Zen Gray?
Hi, I'm Zen. As an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor, I've spent over twenty years helping thousands of people get fit around the country: from showcasing my coaching talents on Season One and Season Two of WORKOUT -- Bravo TV's docu-drama about the lives of personal trainers, to writing and hosting The Skinny -- amusing and easy health tips for the newbie exerciser on ExerciseTV (Time Warner's online and video-on-demand exercise site), to teaching hundreds of conditioning classes from my hometown Chicago to Los Angeles.
My blog, Love and Fat, discusses the relationship between love and body weight, personal struggles and triumphs in the quest for a healthier and happier life, and suggestions on how to keep the love… but lose the love handles.
For years, I simultaneously worked in sales as well as fitness so I can relate to the diet and exercise pitfalls of working in corporate America. My Bachelor's degree in advertising helped me to develop a quick, easy and memorable style of delivering helpful information in an entertaining manner.... much like your favorite Superbowl commercials.
It's no coincidence that I enjoy motivating my clients with playful routines and humor as I've also performed stand-up comedy for over ten years (seen here at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood) and frequently study techniques from the masters of motivation like Tony Robbins.
With a healthy respect for Western Medicine, I encourage people to take control of their own health through holistic choices and to explore lifestyle changes to include unprocessed and organic foods as well as natural remedies. I'm a huge fan of nutritional medicine and devour the latest studies in diet choices that help people lose weight.
I like to teach others to stay curious about their limits and to push through their comfort zones.
In sticking with that philosophy, I've raced two triathlons, ran my first marathon last December, and walked across 14-feet of hot coals... twice.
Let's find out what YOU can do! Contact me now and we'll bust through whatever's holding you back from a healthier and happier life.
Health & happiness,
Since training with Zen, I've dropped 8 full sizes, lost over 45 lbs and kept it all off.
-Laura W.
