Just like last week, I want to keep up with doing Random Facts Friday (RFF). It just so happens that I was also tagged this week by Laura from Wife, Mother Athlete and Heather from Running With Sass to post random facts and to answer their questions. I'll answer their questions but won't be tagging anyone. (Feel free to tag yourself!) And, instead of doing the typical 11 facts, I'm going to go with 5 this week. I plan on doing something like this as a weekly feature.
1. I don't wear makeup…ever. Okay, this isn't true. I did go "Glambert" for an Adam Lambert show and then spiced it up when I went to an NKOTBSB show too. (You know you like my music choices ;)) Otherwise no makeup…ever.
2. At the age of 9 I joined 4H and began riding horses competitively. As with my running I was into it for the fun and most often didn't care how I placed. In all honesty I didn't have the most perfectly trained horses and I had several seasons of lackluster showing. However, I did make it to the Ohio State Fair and placed 6th in my showmanship class one year. Chances were you'd always find me in the running for Sportsman of the Year though. My first horse was named Mattie. We leased her for a year. Then it was my Arabian/Quarter Horse Razha. We owned him for several years. And then there was my Palomino/Quarter Horse Ima Two Eyed Whimp AKA Wimpy. I'd like to go into more detail on my riding experiences in another post. In the meantime let's just say I had a real connection with all 3 of them and now that I'm vegan I'm in a quandary of whether I even agree with riding horses.
My first show with Mattie when I was 9 years old
3. I focus way more on my bodily functions than most people do…I think. Having a history of kidney stones I keep an eye on my hydration not only through my water intake.
4. I started to play cello in 5th grade then picked up trumpet in 7th. I dropped orchestra once I was in high school due to lack of time in my schedule. Although I was decent at trumpet and made 1st chair my senior year, it wasn't my passion. Band was fun but I never truly practiced my instrument. I wonder how good I would've been if I'd have actually applied myself. In hindsight I wish I would've stuck with the cello and dropped trumpet. Ah well. I would love to pick up cello again.
5. Growing up people made fun of my rather large chin and actually would call me "Chin". I hated it so much that I went to the orthodontist in hopes of having them re-align my jar/teeth to make it less drastic. I don't think it did much to change my chin, but I do have straight teeth, and have learned to accept my chin. 12 yrs later I still wear my retainers on a nightly basis. I didn't go through that pain for nothin'!
Questions From Laura:
1. What is your DREAM job? I'm still working on this idea. If I could combine my passions of helping people, photography, and running that'd be great.
2. If you could live ANYWHERE where would you go? I'd be a nomad and travel before settling. Don't think I'd ever truly settle for more than a year or two
3. Tell us your BIGGEST secret! ha.. okay a smaller one you are willing to share. One of the first times I attempted to run was when we lived on the military base in New Orleans. We had just gotten back from eating pizza and I took our dog, Viking, with me. It was late, HOT and HUMID. Halfway through my tummy started to rumble and the poo started comin'! I hurried behind the barracks, popped a squat, and let loose. Thankfully it was dark out and I was able to keep Viking otherwise occupied. Still a challenge! Needless to say since I've started running this has happened more than once. I've visited many bushes and public restrooms. The BIGGEST part of this secret? I've pooped my shorts on a run. I'm not talking just poop, but a blowout. Thank God for cell phones and a speedy husband to come pick me up! And obviously this topic does not embarrass me at all…now, will I be peeing on my bike? Hmmmm
4. How often do you weigh yourself? I used to weigh myself daily…sometimes multiple times a day. I became obsessed with the number. Now, I rarely weight myself. Once every few months maybe ??
5. Do you keep up w/ politics and current events? I try to by reading the local newspaper that's provided at my work. I don't watch much tv but I get my info on the internet.
6. What is your favorite time of day? Morning. Before sunrise.
7. How many hours do YOU sleep a night? In high school I slept 10 hours a night. Nowadays it's more like 6-8 hours. Wish it was more. This is something I'm working to change.
8. What is your BIGGEST lifetime goal / dream? I tend to make shorter-term goals/dreams and then make them happen. Sometimes I call them my "pipe dreams" but I've been able to make most of them a reality. For instance, going to NYC for the Macy's day parade. Current dream: going to Italy…making it happen in April. Current goal: Half Rev3…making it happen September 2012
9. Would you consider yourself a half empty or half full type? I've been both, but most often a half full.
10. Do you reduce, reuse, recycle? YES!! Our community isn't very recycling-friendly, which bothers the heck out of me. No curbside pick-up and they recently have closed many bins to take our recyclables to. We still make the drive to bins farther away. I'm can get kind of obsessed with recycling/reusing. For instance I always carry reusable bags, we do not use paper towels in our house, and I have a glass straw…just to name a few things.
Our current stash of recycleables
11. Do you strength train? No -_- But it's in the plans.
Questions from Heather:
1.) How long should you be engaged before you get married? Hmmm. I don't think it's necessarily about time. I didn't really "go by the rules". I married my husband after 2.5 years of being together (known each other for 5 years) and I was only 18 years old. We'll be married 10 years this summer.
2.) Must read book? I'm a Twilight fan….
3.) Biggest pet peeve? Salivary noises when eating. I. Can't. Handle. Them.
4.) What is your dream job? See above…
5.) Crushed ice or cubed? I chewed/sucked on ice constantly as a kid. I never had and still don't have access to crushed ice. It's almost like a delicacy when I go to someone's house with an ice maker/crusher.
6.) Have you ever met anyone famous? When I worked at the animal hospital in New Orleans I met a few famous people and worked on their companion animals. One of them: Trent Reznor. His dog was very sick for about a month and either he or one of his friends was there at all times with the dog. He was quiet, yet very nice. After she recovered he sent huge boxes of Godiva chocolates.
7.) Favorite summer Olympic sport to watch? Gymnastics, swimming/diving, and now the Marathon.
8.) Salty or sweet? I have a sweet tooth but am also an equal opportunity kind of girl.
9.) Would you rather have an encounter with a bear or a mountain lion? Why? Bear, I guess. Can't you try to make yourself look bigger than them and they will go away? I thought I read something about that.
10.) What was your favorite birthday party as a child? I'm going to have to say the one that my mom organized as a surprise birthday. I hadn't seen many of my friends over the summer due to being involved in horse shows, so it was nice to see them all again.
11.) What size bed do you sleep in? King. When we moved to Michigan we slept in the finished attic and our queen bed would not fit up the stairs. So we went out and purchased 2 twin beds and put them together with a tempur-pedic pad over. Even though we've moved we still have the same set up. We love having a big bed.
Keep Smiling And Be Grateful =)

Mac user 'cluelessness' causes vulnerability
Mac computers are making inroads in business, led largely by the popularity of the iPhone and iPad. While Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has taken steps to improve security recently, a "high level of cluelessness" among users about Mac OS X security opens them up to viruses and phishing attacks, reports Kevin Fogarty at CIO magazine.
Most Americans believe PCs are vulnerable to virus attacks, but only about 20 percent believe Macs are vulnerable to such threats, according to Alex Stamos, a security analyst at iSEC Partners. That false sense of security can make users less cautious than PC users. Plus, as Apple has grown increasingly popular in the enterprise, it has become a more appealing target for malware.
The majority of threats to Mac OS X lately have been of the social engineering variety, like the phony antivirus program Mac Defender that hit in April. This is particularly insidious because it takes advantage of users' nascent awareness of vulnerabilities.
Stamos sees a long list of reasons enterprises should not deploy Macs as a networked platform. The server's networking protocols were not built for security but for ease of use, and it doesn't take much for hackers to get in. The server is also susceptible to password cracking by brute force, and Apple's ad hoc DNS services do not require encryption.
"Run your Macs as little islands on a hostile network," Stamos said. "Once you turn on the administrator stuff, once you install OS X Server, you are toast."

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Corrupt AntiSpyware category contains the list of corrupt, rogue, fake, illegal, even harmful anti-spyware tools that cannot correctly detect and remove spyware or other parasites and therefore are totally ineffective and should NOT be purchased and used. Listed programs have been carefully tested by the 2-spyware.com research center and did not pass most of our tests. These so-called spyware removers are driven by SPAM or deceptive advertising, are illegitimate clones of each other, use incorrect pest detection techniques, produce false positives finding malicious programs even in completely clean systems or do not work properly at all. Neither of corrupt anti-spyware tools can effectively fight against parasites, as most of them are made only to trick users in order to make money from them.
Each spyware remover in the category comes with a review describing its negative sides and the reason why it was added to the corrupt anti-spyware list. Published reviews also include program screenshots, highlighting its questionable behavior, produced false positives, made detection and removal mistakes, etc. We rate tested programs by giving them marks from 1 to 100. The lower mark a spyware remover gets the less effective it is. Please carefully read each review, pay attention to the rating mark a program got and read comments published by other visitors. This will help you to make a wise choice and learn more about your currently used anti-spyware program.
In the list of questionable tools we add potentially corrupt anti-spyware programs that were not tested by the 2-spyware.com research center due several reasons. Most of listed products are discontinued, others do not have any free, demonstration or trial versions. Nevertheless, all the entries definitely are rogue, ineffective and even harmful. Reviews are based on information provided by reliable sources such as SpywareWarrior, Sunbelt Software, Eric L. Howes, Patrick M. Kolla and others.
If you need a legitimate and effective spyware remover, please visit the anti-spyware category, which contains the list of all known legitimate anti-spyware programs able to effectively detect and remove spyware or other parasites. Drop us a note if you have found the program which deserves to be listed in the list of corrupt anti-spyware tools.

It seems many people have a problem with unwanted posts cluttering the page when you select New Posts. Would it be possible to fix it so that when you refresh the page when using the New Posts link that the posts you have finished reading do not appear?
To be more clear. Lets say I login and select new posts and five pages come up. I then go to the New Members or another sub forum and mark all posts as read. Right now if I do that and the refresh the page they still show up in the New Posts search. I will still have to go through all five pages but most the posts will be marked as already read. If they were somehow automatically removed from after being read and the page refreshed this would make reading much easier and possible solve the problem for everyone.

Insider Selling Outpaces Buying By 24 Times In Last Week
- advertisements -
I hope I'm not asking a dumb question, but how would we know what proportion of this selling is from:
-stock purchased as stock options, perhaps at early 2009 prices?
-stock obtained as stock grants?
-other stock that is given as compensation and may not reflect the person's voluntary and intentional investment choice?
I realize that this is a bearish sign regardless, but I think it would be a lot less bearish if much of the selling was just turning into cash of stock compensation.
All option exercises are excluded from the calculation in order to capture just stock sales
What isn't calculated in the Insider selling/buying figures is former employees (that were Section 16 officers) that are no longer subject to filing rules. After 6 months, former officers can sell stock/options without filing with the SEC. The # of sellers is much greater than the numbers represent. Trust me...this numvber is huge. Meg Whitman, Jerry Yang, Ken Lewis (soon).
had it not been for the $18m purchase by some director at HT, the ratio would have blown thru the roof....
I see the masses have stopped reading the details and wants Tyler Durden and his Mistress to do the work...
Ideots have slept again?
Maybe the insiders are just hard up and need cash now?
Note to Tyler for question to the inquisitive Mary.
anyone notice that during the entire rally virtually no bank insiders (notable exception the GS guy in London) have sold?
it's gotta be killing them but you just know there is a little unwritten rule that if any senior people sell, they might as well tender their resignation along with their sell order.
DRTYFRKRS>>>If you are rigging the game and you still lose you deserve to go down with the ship, Arr Matey.
dh, I believe Buffett made it a condition of his 10bn investment that the senior execs at the squid wouldn't sell. I may be wrong.
This is what put options are for. Shorting is too dangerous.
Maybe this is who buys all those 3x bear ETFs? Insiders?
Mad Max,
I see where you are coming from to the extent the seller may have been viewing a portion of his stock compensation as part of his/her income and sold some shares for periodic or planned expenditures. But, I don't think that is a very big percentage of the total. This is a very bearish report.
Tyler, nice work with the Lauren reference. And, that really highlights what this means in real terms. I don't imagine Ralph just happened to need 10 mil cash about now.
I think Ralph probably knows his industry better than any of us. He thinks retail is going down. Wanna bet against him? Go ahead.
When ICAPs Michael Spencer starts selling his and his family trusts holdings in size, you know to take the hint. Generally someone who has been good with market timing and whose business has managed to grow and prosper(read rape and pillage) during these interesting times.
So very illuminating that he should be liquidating so heavily.
Insider selling really is a very good, time proven measure of an enterprises confidence. But how do you get that as a macro level indicator?
PIMCO's Bill Gross sells govies, munies etc...Or GS sends out another buy rating, on anything.
damn you guys are good, where do you find stuff like this??
no matter who buys or sells, as long as there is PPT mob in the market, nobody knows for sure what's going on,,,, it is NOT a free market.
I've been reading about the vast majority of insiders selling for what seems like a year now. This means that a lot of insiders have missed out on one of the largest rallies that they'll ever see. While their selling might be an indictor of how they view their own market, it is not an indicator of the Stock Market. Green shoots and hopium and all that.
Most of the rally was over by the end of September and many, many stocks topped in October at the latest. That seems to be something bulls forget. The market's been crawling upward at about the pace of 1 point per trading day or something like that. Insiders probably knew that green shoots were BS by the end of September anyway, so I doubt they've been losing sleep over the last 7-8% move.
I've yet to hear any bull express concern over the glacial pace of movement upward, yet it seems to me indicative of a market that is struggling to progress. If the market can't go up, it'll go down.
Yeah... why lose sleep about +10% in the last two months.
Thats not alot, is it?
Wait 2 months, ask again.
No, it's not bearish.
New highs for the year today...
I wish I had a sense of irony.
Actually Wall St. is printing their OWN money...diluting the REST of US!
Yet this topic has been TOTALLY ignored by 99.9%...For all that Inside selling...they just ISSUE more options...for MORE shares...GOT IT?
shouldn't selling shares dilute the pool, hence bring the price down. I know supply and demand is not always accurate, but...my brain hurts!
Yeah... the diluting stuff has been going on for decades, but shareholders have been apporving it as well-- many times, overwhelmingly.
At this stage of a stock market expansion, it's not the buy/sell ratio that interests me-- it's the pace of insider sellings, and how much it is reducing executive holdings. And right now, there aren't many signs of panic selling, and most of it is occurring a periodic highs. Heh.
Intertesting somebody should note options. It's not the exercises that interest me, but the granting of new options-- right now, it just isn't happening. Many firms are purposefully holding out and letting current plans approach almost zero capacity. What that tells me is that executives are confident they can load with new grants a much lower prices, otherwise they'd be taking granting liberties right now.
Unoftunately, there are some execs that must feel the same way we all do... asking "when are we going to get the big break?", because they know lower values are coming-- but they have no control over the "when".
Thanks for the OP and the above response...
Been happening for centuries, not decades. Read about the Missisipi scheme and the south sea bubble in:EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS AND THE Madness of Crowds.
By CHARLES MACKAY, LL.D
Published in 1852.
Your headline says it all. The DOW/market, is not sustainable, people who think so, know nothing. That's fine, they will soon be disappointed big time. Gold, cash, land.
Not to be a conspiracy nut but I wonder if there is a list outlining whom and how many shares insiders can sell so that it's not obvious that the market rally exist solely to allow the elite to transfer the future losses to US citizens. It would have to be planned out in such a way that the SEC can feign ignorance. Rats abandoning the ship.
The US Gov (controlled effectively by the ultra wealthy) have the treasury,regulators and the fed to do their bidding.
--They avoided a radical haircut with TARP
--They got their Gov minions to institute a number of programs to have public money flow their way
--They got their gov regulators to look the other way if any question arose to the legality of their actions
-- They managed to get Freddie/Fannie/Ginnie Mae/FNA etc. sucking up their mistakes and putting into on the public tab
Is it any surprise that they have engineered a Stock Market rise to sell into?
No, I will not apologize for being a tin hat.
Our enemy is very intelligent,savvy, and experienced.
These few folks know how to manipulate BIGTIME.
Our goal should be to shut them down....then seek them out and decapitate them!
Finally, a small glimmer of hope. Should we call it a Brown shoot? (I am sincerely glad he won, in case it's not clear.)
not that it really matters. the dems couldnt do anything with 60 senators and all three branches as it was.
The irony is too good though. The seat that would allow them to retain theoretical filibustter proof majority to pass health care will now be opposed by the person who won the seat whose former occupant considered health care reform to be his legacy.
Nothing will change. BTW anybody see WGO 10 day chart . Suspicious? I guess they are going to sell a lot of winnebagos.
Since everyone here likes conspiracy. I will say something very out there.....I speculate that Brown won because Democrats did not push for their candidate at all. This win gave them a way out of many policies they realized evolved to unrecognizable monsters...
Dear TD,
Seriously though. If it is not insider buying raising the stock prices and it is not the Doe'Larr anymore, than what the hell is going on? Are the Plunger boys really using their sucker on us that hard? Ouch mayne!
As I understand it, the buyer is the US government, converting taxpayer wealth into banker wealth. Racism has allowed Obama to rob this country blind.

I have been reading reports saying "insiders selling like crazy" for the past 4 months all the while the stock market marches higher.
The neat thing is insiders have jack shit for buying power compared to the rest of the world. Their actions are irrelevant to justify the lack of decline in an equity index.

Back in July, WBUR launched a digital experiment called "Kind World" that explores people's experiences with random acts of kindness. Over the last several months, we've collected dozens of stories and featured many of them on our website.
Each one of these stories demonstrate the overwhelming goodness that exists in the world. Of those stories, we selected and packaged six that we thought were extraordinarily powerful. From a man buying a retail manager's entire staff a cup of coffee during the hectic holiday sales season to a woman with mitochondrial disease helping a man stuck in his New York City apartment during Superstorm Sandy, these stories detail the human experiences that may not necessarily make the news, but are just as important to share.

The Gustavus men's hockey team traveled to Northfield to play St. Olaf College in the first round of the MIAC Post-Season Tournament on Tuesday night. The Gusties jumped out to an early two-goal lead, but were unable to hang on as the Oles would score three unanswered goals to advance to the semifinal game of the conference playoffs.
Gustavus got on the scoreboard quick with an unassisted goal from sophomore Jon Keseley at 1:36 of the first period. Senior Joe Ulwelling gave the Gusties a two-goal advantage with a goal at 11:51 of the opening period. Seniors Reegan Rehm and Jason Watters assisted on the goal.
St. Olaf cut Gustavus' lead in half with a power play goal from freshman John Paulson at 13:38 of the second period. Senior Pat Gilles and sophomore John Egge assisted on the goal. The Oles equalized with a goal at 12:18 of the third period from junior Joel Ihrie. Freshman Mike MacMillan scored the gamewinner for St. Olaf at 13:47, to send the Oles through to the next round of the MIAC Playoffs.
Goaltender Dan Kehler made 25 saves to record the win in the nets for St. Olaf. Gustavus goaltender Erik Kraska turned away 36 shots and ended the season with an overall record of 8-3-1.
St. Olaf improves to 14-6-6 overall and will travel to St. Cloud on Thursday, March 3 to play top-seeded Saint John's University. Gustavus ended the season with an overall record of 10-15-1.

Shira's Illustrator
Erin Taylor creates books for children out of a love of adventure and imagination. Her work is inspired by the fantasy worlds that exist in every child's mind. She has been published several times internationally, with books in the USA, Korea, Greece and elsewhere. She enjoys working with her husband Adam Taylor, who is also an illustrator. Find more about Erin at ErinTaylorIllustrator.com!
"The first of Ms. Sabbag's "Shira" series lays the foundation for a truly delightful new heroine in the longstanding tradition of Jewish storytelling. Young Shira is creative, diligent, spiritual, curious, and imaginative. Her family, like so many families I know, is struggling to find balance in their lives and make room for the richness of Judaism. "Shabbat in the Playroom" inspires parents to listen closely to their children, to be open to new ways of bringing meaning into our lives, and also helps children learn Hebrew and the proper order of the Shabbat Blessings. Illustrated by Erin Taylor, Shira's world is full of color and sweet details such as her LEGO Shabbat candles. "Shabbat in the Playroom" is worth reading now though eventually it might arrive at your doorstep courtesy of PJ Library once the right people get their hands on it."
~ Rabbi Micah Lapidus, Davis Academy
"Written by a teacher to help educate her own students and others, Shabbat in the Playroom is the charming story of a young girl whose imagination and sense of fun help her Shabbat dream come true. Shira loves the Kabbalat Shabbat celebration at school and wants her parents to adopt the same
rituals into their family life, but Shira's parents are too busy to even consider it. Each week, they put her off with vague excuses. One Friday, Shira decides to stage her own Shabbat celebration right in her playroom. She invites her dolls and stuffed animals and they are perfect guests. She prepares her favorite pretend foods in her play kitchen and finds a white pillowcase to serve as a tablecloth. A brown stuffed sock looks like a challah and a pretty scarf makes an ideal challah cover. Legos topped with yellow blocks look to Shira's excited eyes just like glowing candles. Paper napkins cut into circles work
as kippot, her Hebrew book looks like a siddur, and a plastic drinking cup is just right as a Kiddush cup."
:When her preparations are done, Shira recites the Brachot (blessings) she learned in school (included in Hebrew within the text) and revels in her Shabbat celebration. What she doesn't see is that her parents are peeking into the playroom and watching her deep, sincere enjoyment. They are touched by her dedication and joy and promise to share Kabbalat Shabbat with her from that day forward. Although flimsily bound, this colorfully illustrated book tells a delightful story with a spot-on, child-centered approach and conveys gentle emotion in a simple, straightforward manner. "

First off, we get a pretty sweet glimpse of the extended Martell clan, including Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martell, also known as the Red Viper. Behind him in a preview photo is Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma), Oberyn's paramour.
In addition to our new characters, we see what would be an old, familiar face — if he hadn't been re-cast. Daario Naharis, the budding love interest for Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), was played by Ed Skrein for his Season 3 introduction, but starting in Season 4 he'll be played by Nashville and Treme alum Michiel Huisman. We still approve. And hey, with that beard he's at least a half-step closer to Daario's appearance in the book: blue hair, a three-pronged beard, and a gold mustache.
We also get to see photos of our favorite existing characters — the ones who are still alive, at least. Jon Snow (Kit Harington) looks sad, as usual, but he has a sweet scar now. Jon's little half-sister Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) looks sad and awkward (also the usual). A photo of Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and The Hound (Rory McCann) give us hope for a buddy-comedy akin to that of Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Bronn (Jerome Flynn). See them all here!
Are you stoked for Season 4 of Game of Thrones? Weigh in below!

Greensboro, NC -- Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon out ahead of a cold front that will pass through the region later this evening.
Considering the front will move in during the hottest part of the day, heat energy could provide the fuel necessary for severe storms. The primary threat will be hail and damaging straight-line winds. All of North Carolina is included in the severe weather threat, but the greatest threat will be from Raleigh to Fayetteville eastward into the Coastal Plain.
The threat of severe thunderstorms in the Triad will be from 3 pm until 9 pm this evening.
WFMY News 2's Grant Gilmore said the entire area is under a watch until 10:00pm. The storm could produce strong winds, that will knock down power lines and trees.
A Severe Thunderstorm watch has been issued for much of Virginia including Pittsylvania, Henry, Patrick, Carroll, and Grayson counties until 7pm. Other severe weather watches may be issued for parts on Central North Carolina later this afternoon.
Please share your weather related pictures with us at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lentil stew
Okay. So the rice is missing in the photo with the lentil stew, but we all know what rice looks like. Right?
I always enjoy reading and then trying to prepare the Ecuadorian recipes that I see on Laylita's Recipes. This is another simple recipe — Lentil stew with rice. The lentils simmer with onions, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, cumin and cilantro. That's about it. According to Laylita, this is a popular dish in Ecuador. It's served with grilled meat (The full name of the dish is actually arroz con menestra de lentejas y carne asada — lentil stew with rice and grilled meat.). Like Laylita, I substituted the meat with a fried egg. Loved it!
Lentil Stew with Rice (Arroz con Menestra)
Laylita's Recipes
3 tbs canola oil
1 red onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp cumin
3 tsp salt
1 tsp achiote
4 tbs chopped cilantro
7 cups of water
1 lb lentils
- Heat the canola oil on medium heat in a large sauce pan.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, tomato, garlic, cumin, salt, achiote and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro to make a refrito for the stew.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the ingredients have softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the water and increase heat to bring water to boil.
- Add the lentils and reduce the heat to medium low, cover partially and cook until the lentils are tender, stir in the remaining 2 tbs of cilantro and remove from the heat.
- Serve with Ecuadorian style cooked rice, carne asada o carne frita (fried thin beef steaks), fried ripe plantains or fried green plantains, and a small salad or avocado slices.
Menestra de Porotos (Bean Stew)
March 9, 2010 | Filed Under Beans, Ecuadorian Recipes, Laylita's Recipes blog, Pinto Beans | 10 Comments
I first made this Ecuadorian dish last month for my mom's birthday. Since then, I've made it several more times. According to Laylita's Recipes, "a menestra is a popular stew type dish of lentils or beans and served with rice, plantains, salad and your choice of protein: beef, pork, fish, chicken or an egg (vegetarian option)." Using pinto beans in this recipe, the meal went over very well with my family. Although the cooking time was about two hours, the preparation for the bean stew was very fast and simple. After simmering in red onions, tomatoes, crushed garlic, achiote (annatto powder), cumin and chili powder, the beans were ready and tasted so good — so full of flavor. Following the recipe instructions, I served the beans with rice, ripe plantain (my favorite!), avocado, tomato and onion curtido and salad. To learn more about a menestra, stop by Laylita's Recipes.
Menestra de Porotos (Bean Stew)
Ingredients (for 8-10 large servings):
2-3 tbs finely chopped cilantro or parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil over medium heat in a saucepan or pot, add the diced onions and crushed garlic, let cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes, achiote powder, cumin seeds and ground cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 8 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Add the soaked beans and simmer for about 2 hours.
- Mix in the chopped cilantro or parsley.
- Serve with Ecuadorian style cooked rice, fried plantains, salad with tomato and onion curtido, fried or grilled meat (or fish /poultry/egg), avocado slices and some good aji or hot sauce on the side.
Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken)
February 15, 2009 | Filed Under Ecuadorian Recipes, Poultry, Rice | 21 Comments
We all know that there are different variations of Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken) and depending on the country or region, it is made a little differently.
Ever since I discovered this particular rice recipe below, I've been making it at least once a week. Each time, my rice becomes better and better. I HEART it. Actually, I PUFFY HEART it. This Ecuadorian-style rice with chicken recipe has become my favorite rice recipe. When I first saw it, some of its ingredients, like beer or wine, intrigued me. Rice cooked with beer or wine? I used the wine and found that worked really well. The rice had an extra special taste.
I enjoyed everything in the rice — the seasoned chicken, the carrots, the tomatoes…. Thankfully, I didn't have much trouble with the amount of water in relation to the amount of rice. Normally when I make these chicken rice dishes (see my jollof rice), I usually end up with too much water or too little water, making my rice soggy or dry. Uggh! Fortunately my rice turned out very well with this recipe and the more I made it, the better it turned out.
As suggested, I served the chicken rice with ripe fried plantains and pickled onions. Other times, I served it with a side salad, avocado slices and aji criollo (Ecuadorian hot sauce). It depended on what I had in the kitchen.
When one of my brothers stops by and I prepare this rice, he makes sure to take some home in some tupperware. The boy never brings back the tupperware. *sigh*
Now. I have a confession about the Arroz con Pollo photo above. While I've made rice and chicken several times, in this particular instance, you are looking at rice with turkey wings (the only part of the turkey that I like). I can happily write that the rice with turkey turned out just fine. The photo is of my leftovers, which I took to work the next day. Thanks, Laylita for the recipe.

Cebollas Encurtidas (Pickled Onions)
February 8, 2009 | Filed Under Announcements, Ecuadorian Recipes, Latin Recipes, Laylita's Recipes blog | 13 Comments
Hi Everyone. I haven't meant to seemingly abandon this food blog. I know it's been a while since I've put up a new post here. Unfortunately, life is keeping me extremely busy and stressed. As a result, I haven't had much time to blog here or visit other blogs. Forgive me, please. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me and left messages here to make sure I was okay. I very much appreciate your concern.
Anytime I go to the neighborhood Dominican restaurant and order mangú or one of my other favorite Latin meals, it comes with a typical side dish — cebollas encurtidas (pickled onions). They are tasty sweet/sour-tasting pink, thinly sliced onions. Normally, I have to beg them to add an extra serving of the pickled onions. Depending on who waits on me, I get an amused or annoyed look before they comply.
Thanks to Laylita's Recipes, I've now found out how to make my own cebollas encurtidas. My own pickled onions! Yay! I no longer have to beg for an extra serving of onions. Surprisingly, it's easy to prepare. All I need are red onions, lime, salt and a little
bit of time of patience (waiting three hours or overnight for the onions to turn pink). Oh, Layla's recipe calls for sunflower oil. I didn't have that and used olive oil on one occassion and canola oil at another time. And viola! I have my tasty onions. The only thing I need to practice is cutting the onions to produce nice, fine slices. I'm told that it takes a good tomato knife and lots of practice. I'm ready to practice my heart out to make nice, even onion slices. Thanks, Layla!
Before I end my post, I wanted to let you know that I've opened a Zazzle Gallery, where I've put up a few postcards for sale. These postcards have photos of NYC that you'll see on my photo blog. At the moment, I have 10 postcards featured. If there's a photo, in which you're interested, let me know I'll see it is possible to turn it into a postcard. Check the gallery when you have a chance.
If any of you miss New York Monday, don't forget that you can always go here to find a NYC photo.
Cebollas Encurtidas (Pickled Onions)
2 small red onions
Juice of 3 limes
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 tablespoon salt + more to adjust taste
- Cut the onion in half, slice very finely (a mandolin is very helpful with this part) and place in a bowl
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and a squeeze of lime juice, let rest for about 10 minutes
- Cover the onions with lukewarm water and let rest for another 10 minutes
- Rinse and drain the onions
- Add the lime juice, salt and the oil, and mix well.
- Cover the onions and place in the fridge, the onions will start to turn pinkish after about 3 hours, and will turn very pink if left overnight. Taste again before serving and add salt if needed.


text: With four new songs on their MySpace page, a new EP in the works and new fall tour dates, things are continuing to build excitingly for DRIVE A.The Los Angeles-based band — who has been earning the respect of dedicated rock fans everywhere with their blend of rock and punk, with an indie edge — is fronted by 16-year-old lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Bruno Mascolo, who produced the four new tracks currently on the band's MySpace page. Meanwhile, DRIVE A — Bruno Mascolo (vocals, lead guitar), Jason Nott (rhythm guitar, vocals), Ashton Moio (bass) and Terry Stirling, Jr. (drums) — has been in the studio working on new material that includes two tracks produced by heavyweight drummer Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES, THE CULT): "Are You Blind" and "Coming For You". Due in early 2009, the EP will be titled "Smiling With Hate", which showcases the outstanding guitar work of Bruno Mascolo, who "is on his way to becoming your kid's next guitar hero." (Music Connection, 4/14/08) "The new songs are influenced by the new music I have been listening to," says Bruno. "I am trying to grow as a writer and broaden my horizons musically." He adds: "The atmosphere in the studio was great. I came up with the ideas for the songs and let each band member expand on the songs and make them their own. 'Smiling With Hate' is a song that says it all in the title." DRIVE A is gearing up for a handful of fall tour dates. The band's concert highlights in 2008 have included an appearance at the massive Rock On the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, performing alongside artists like STONE TEMPLE PILOTS; an opening slot for supergroup CAMP FREDDY at The Roxy in May; and a number of shows at SXSW, where they were included in Daily Variety's festival round-up. They also had a hugely successful run as the resident band in April at the Key Club's Ruby Tuesday weekly event in Los Angeles.

Breast Scintigraphy
This test is a nuclear scan of the breast to identify problems with patients that have dense breast tissue in which it is difficult to evaluate using a normal mammogram. This is also helpful with breast cancer patients in determining what will be the best treatment for the patient. Benign breast lesions such as fibrocystic disease, fibroadenoma and fat necrosis may also concentrate the radioactive agent in a focal or a diffuse pattern. So breast scanning is a sensitive though nonspecific test to detect malignant breast lesions.
Breast carcinoma is the most common cancer found among women in the Western world. Mammography (MM) is the most widely used diagnostic imaging method for screening and diagnosing breast cancer. MM has known diagnostic limits. Not all breast carcinomas are found on mammograms. This is especially true with breast that is dense. Also it is more difficult if there is a breast prosthesis or previous radiation, surgery or biopsies have been done. In addition, the mammographic images of benign and malignant lesions can be similar. Therefore, imaging studies of the breast using nuclear scans is helpful.
No preparation is necessary.
Negative: Minimal, symmetric bilateral and uniform breast uptake equal to soft tissue uptake.
Ranges for normal findings may vary among different laboratories and hospitals. You should always check with your doctor after having lab work or other tests done to discuss the meaning of your test results and whether your values are considered within normal limits.
Your caregiver will go over the test results with you and discuss the importance and meaning of your results, as well as treatment options and the need for additional tests if necessary.
It is your responsibility to obtain your test results. Ask the lab or department performing the test when and how you will get your results.

Leonard Bernstein once described a "classic" (in his words, the most misunderstood and abused word in the English language) as something that both defines and defies both time and taste. Isn't that brilliant?
There is still space for personal opinion re define and defy.....but I think I understand what he means.
To me, the early Beatles define the early 60s perfectly....but to my ear most/all of that music still sounds fresh, defying time and taste. Gerry and the Pacemakers? To me, they define the same era equally well, but I think it sounds terribly dated.
Other define/defiers to me: Chuck Berry, Sonics, Stooges, Minutemen, Pixies, Dylan.

Rail options still on hold
November 07, 2011
Despite recent actions taken by the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) to address an onerous situation, "captive shippers" will continue to pay a monopoly tax on their rail shipments.
NITL President Bruce Carlton has rightfully objected to foot-dragging done by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB) when it comes to addressing the issue of making competitive switching rules between the Class 1 railroads.
Late last week, the STB announced its decision to defer consideration of the League's Petition for Rulemaking to Adopt Revised Competitive Switching Rules, until the Board completes its review of the lengthy record developed in the separate and broader Ex Parte 705 proceeding on rail competition.
Manufacturers who may have planned to add to their workforces or invest in other assets now have less incentive to do so, since they remain uncertain about the regulatory climate for some time to come.

Video Highlights of Cal's Big Splash Win
WOODLAND, CALIF. - California junior attacker Collin Smith has been named the KAP7 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week for the second time this season after leading the Golden Bears to a commanding 14-8 victory over Stanford in the Oct. 20 Big Splash at Spieker Aquatics Complex, it was announced late Monday (Oct. 22) by MPSF commissioner Al Beaird.
Smith, a 6-1, 188-pound standout from Carlsbad, Calif., was outstanding in the Bears' Big Splash victory that gave Kirk Everist's squad the Steve Heaston Trophy for the second year in a row. The Steve Heaston Trophy is named after the former Cal water polo coach (1989-98, three NCAA titles) who passed away in 1999.
Smith had a goal in the second period when the Bears shut out the Cardinal, 4-0, and then was a scoring force with three goals in the third period, including back-to-back goals with 58 seconds and 32 second left in the quarter. He added two goals in the fourth period to finish with five goals in the final 16 minutes of the contest. Smith leads Cal (10-6) in scoring this season with 46 goals in 16 matches (2.88 goals per game, third in the MPSF). He also paces the Bears with 23 assists on the year.
It was the second POW honor for Smith this season. He was the Sept. 10 MPSF POW when he scored six goals in a 17-4 victory over MIT during the Princeton Invitational on Sept. 9, and finished the five matches over the Sept. 7-9 weekend in New Jersey with 19 goals, averaging 3.8 goals per match.
Smith was a 2011 honorable mention All-America as a sophomore with 26 goals, 20 steals and 28 assists, including match-winning goals in MPSF wins over UC Santa Barbara and Pacific.
The Bears (10-6, 1-2) next host Long Beach State (18-4, 0-1) in an MPSF league match on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 12 p.m. at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The 49ers are coached by former Cal All-American and Olympian Gavin Arroyo.

New rumors are surfacing about the upcoming iPhone 5. It seems the physical size of the screen/display of the device may be larger than its predecessors. 4-inch is quite a possibility, although it is not confirmed yet. Honestly, Retina display on the current 3.5-inch size is just too sharp and most customers would like to see a larger screen, especially when there is a plethora of Android-devices offering the same.
Tag Archives: retina display
Hitachi's new display can top Apple's Retina Display
If you think Apple's Retina is simply awesome and can show laser-sharp images, then you would certainly like Hitachi's new IPS LCD mobile screen. At a whopping 720×1280 in resolution, Hitach's new display is even sharper and brighter than that of iPhone 4's. The display has a 329 dpi (dots-per-inch) versus iPhone 4's 326 dpi. Not to forget you also get a significantly larger screen view at 4.5 inches versus 3.5 inches of that of the iPhone.
The iPad 2 may have twice the screen resolution?
Toshiba to make Retina displays for Apple
Toshiba Mobile Display Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba, will construct a new facility in Ishikawa Prefecture that will manufacture Retina displays for Apple. The initial investment would be $1.19 billion and production will begin in the second half of 2011.
Sharp launches IS03, the first Android-based phone with Retina (960×640) display
The iPhone 4 is no longer the only mobile phone to have the "Retina" display. Welcome the IS03 from Sharp. The phone is powered by Android 2.1 and has the same screen resolution as the iPhone 4, on its 3.5 inch screen. That's not all. To make viewing experience better, the screen also features Sharp's own Advanced Super View (ASV) technology. Other notable features include a 9.6 MP camera and a one-seg TV tuner.

Villa Ladies 2-1 Portsmouth Ladies: We're into League Cup final
Villa Ladies can now look forward to the League Cup final after seeing off Portsmouth Ladies 2-1 in the last four encounter.
They will face Leeds Ladies at York City on May 5.
Jade Richards opened the scoring for the hosts just before the break with a wonderful header.
Portsmouth Ladies came back into it after the interval with a stunning finish from Sarah Kempson.
But Villa Ladies didn't capitulate and instead showed their quality and heart with a winner soon after, Chloe Jones showing immense bravery to nod in the decider.
In the closing stages, returning goalkeeper Megan Walsh showed her class with some stunning takes as the visitors threw everything at the claret and blues in search of an equaliser.
But Joe Hunt's team stood strong and emerged victorious to much delight at the final whistle.
Thrilled Hunt said: "It took us 15 -20 minutes to get into the game.
"The wind was horrendous for us in the first half. Credit to Portsmouth too, they were very strong in the opening stages. They were causing us all sorts of problems.
"They hit the bar which was a major let off but after that we controlled it.
"We got the ball into Carly Davies, Emma Follis and Kelly Clarke.
"We got into some great opportunities and a mixture of good defending and bad finishing kept the score at 1-0. Their goal was a great finish but it was our fault for overcomplicating things in the build-up.
"But fair play to my team, they went again and scored a deserved winner.
"It was a big decision for us to include Megan in goal. She's been training hard for nearly a month now and her return to fitness after five months came at the right time.
"We put Megan through some tough sessions this week and she was keen to play. She took some great crosses, especially one at the end when she plucked it off the forward's head.
"Jade continued her fine form - a goal and an assist - not bad for a centre-back
"Chloe took her goal superbly. She was brave because she knew if she made the header she was going to get clattered by the onrushing keeper.
"All my squad have contributed to this cup run. We've played seven games in the competition and every player has had some minutes.
"They all deserve credit. Players don't like missing out on games but they know 22 players don't fit into 11. They won't play every minute.

A function in javascript forms a closure by keeping a (hidden) link to its enclosing scope.
Is it possible to access it programmatically when we have the function (as a variable value) ?
The real goal is theoretical but a demonstration could be to list the properties of the closure.
var x = (function(){
var y = 5;
return function() {
//access y here with x somehow

Are You Maximizing All Available Sales Channels to Sell More?
2012 will be the year of merging multi-channel into mega-channel. (You heard it here first… well, maybe not first, but you have now heard it here.) The lines between the two main traditional sales channels—online and in-store—are blurring, and the sub-channels of each of those main channels are growing (think social and mobile).
Thanks to mobile technology, people are now going online while in-store, and their online purchases are bringing them into stores compliments of growing in-store pickup capabilities.
What does this mean? It means there are now more ways to sell more (and an equal number of ways to lose sales if you aren't being proactive).
Take QR codes as an example. In this recent Internet Retailer blog post, they discuss how multi-channel retailers like GNC and Lowe's are using QR codes to link their stores to the online world. And Best Buy has been in the QR Code business for over a year. QR codes can instantly link in-store shoppers from store ads, in-store signage or product packaging to product information, online promotions, product reviews or enhanced product videos via their smartphones. This can turn a customer's mobile phone into an on-call salesperson.
When I was recently in the market for a treadmill, I was able to use my phone to scan a QR code right off the package of the model I was looking and read the specs and reviews right in the Costco aisle. In my case, it closed the sale in the store. Without the QR Code, I would have gone home to research the model, possibly leading to my purchase of another treadmill.
Mobile, in general, is fast becoming one of the most critical sales and marketing channels for any business. Aside from the emerging popularity of QR codes, people use their mobile phones to scan barcodes for instant price comparison, to read product reviews and check inventory. If you aren't providing mobile-optimized content, such as product specifications, reviews and videos, to your shoppers—whether they are already in a store or on their way—you are missing a chance to close a sale.
For shoppers that don't want to use or don't have a smartphone to access that content (and that group is quickly shrinking), many multi-channel retailers offer in-store kiosks where customers can access their online sales information and even request a different size or model be shipped to the store for pickup or directly to their home. Kohl's even lets you scan a product barcode to search for other sizes or colors online.
When it comes to websites driving foot traffic into stores, in-store pickup is the name of the game. The concept pioneered by the now defunct Circuit City is the electronics retailer's legacy to the retail industry. Toys-R-Us and Home Depot recently joined Walmart, Sears, Best Buy, Staples and Nordstrom to offer in-store pickup for online orders to its customers who love the convenience and service.
It's clear the direction things are heading. It is quickly becoming a world where I don't have to just buy the colors, sizes and models that my local retailer decided to stock. In the future, I will get what I want. And if my retailer doesn't want to help me get that, I will get it elsewhere—online, on my phone or down the street.
Are you keeping up?

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian Shares New Photos of North West on the Ellen Show
Kim Kardashian couldn't stop talking about her bundle of joy during an appearance on Ellen yesterday, January 16.
The new mom revealed some adorable new photos of her six-month old daughter with rapper Kanye West, North West, and talked candidly with the talk show host about her difficult pregnancy.
While Kim said that she's "always wanted six" kids, the reality star admitted that she's not entirely sure if she could go through with another five pregnancies.
"[Women who say pregnancy is easy] are lying," Kim said. "They are lying to you. I'm telling you. Kourtney said that, my mom said that. I was literally giving birth and I looked at my mom and I said, 'I'm going to get you a medal. You deserve everything.'"
For Kim, it wasn't giving birth that was especially challenging — it was the nine months that came before it.
"My labor was easy, but just the whole pregnancy was so… I had a few medical issues, so it was really tough, and I gained a lot of weight. It was really hard mentally on me."
Of course, Kim said it was all worth it in the end.
"I wouldn't take any of it back because I have the most adorable, sweetest baby in the world," she said. "It's all worth it in the end, so I would definitely suffer through [pregnancy again], but pregnancy was not a good experience for me. At all."

TV Recap: Gossip Girl - Valley Girls
By Kona Gallagher 7 years ago comments
This weeks Gossip Girl episode served as a backdoor pilot for Valley Girls, the long-anticipated spinoff. Valley Girls is set to star Brittany Snow as the 80s-era Lily Van der Woodsen and explains how she went from Upper East Side socialite to Nine Inch Nails groupie and back again.
Even though the pilot is rumored to be DOA, I have three reasons it needs to happen (well, four, if you count the fact that other than Gossip Girl, CW doesnt have a whole lot going for it next season): 1. Neptunes Net 2. Gia Goodman and 3. Dick (Ive never been a reason for anything except a thorough STD test) Casablancas. Yes, Valley Girl is a virtual whos who of Veronica Mars, and for that it deserves at least a million seasons.
But, since this was only a backdoor pilot, we still had our favorite current Upper East Side mavens to contend with, so lets dispatch with them. This weeks episode started off where last weeks left off: with Serena in jail.
After her disastrous dinner with Rufus, Lily decides that Serena has learned her lesson and goes down to the jail to drop the charges. However, Serena has decided to call in the big guns: Lilys mother to come help her out. This, of course, is nothing more than a plot device in order to get Lilys mother back in order to better facilitate her flashbacks to when she was a Serena-like wild child in L.A.
In any case, Serena ends up leaving jail in time to go to her senior prom with Dan. She wears a Jenny Humphrey original and she and Dan have a perfectly lovely if uneventful evening. Blair, on the other hand, is a different story (as she always is).
Blair has apparently been keeping a prom scrapbook since she was 12, detailing her perfect evening. Since she and Nate were together then, naturally he was her perfect prom date. She had everything planned out; from the corsage, to the dress, to the hotel room. Then things went terribly wrong.
Her dress was ruined, the corsage wasnt there, the limo was rented out by a bachelorette party in New Jersey, and it seemed as though Nelly Yuki was going to be named prom queen. Then, mysteriously, things started gong her way.
A new dress, exactly like the one in her scrapbook arrives from Paris, and she and Nate are voted prom queen and king. Chuck, who of course had been accused of sabotaging prom in the first place, is the one behind everything. He tells Serena that her dress looks better without the corsage, that he voted for Blair about 150 times for queen, and hands her the key to the penthouse at The Plaza.
Blair doesnt know that Chuck is her fairy godfather, but regardless, she seems to sense that her days with Nate are over. She had spent so much time dreaming of going to prom with her high school boyfriend, that once she did, she felt like she was going to prom with her high school boyfriend. So Blair and Nate have finally, mercifully, ended it.
Now on to Valley Girls.
Ive liked Brittany Snow since she was on American Dreams, and while she doesnt exactly remind me of Lily, shes a good choice for this new show. I guess I kind of imagined Lily in high school to be a lot like Serena, but it makes more sense that shes actually more of a blond Blair Waldorfwhich I find kind of hilarious.
Turns out Lilys parents have just gone through a contentious divorce, and shes been shipped off to boarding school. Lily doesnt deal well with this, and manages to get herself expelled so she can go live with her father. Daddy Rhodes, however, is too busy keeping Tower Records in business, so he has no time to raise his teenage daughter.
Lilys older sister Carol (Krysten Ritter) has already left the family to make it as an actress, so Lily makes the decision to join her. While mixing it up in the Valley, she meets a few interesting characters.
First, theres Shep, Carols not-boyfriend (the awesomely be-pompadourd Ryan Hansen), then Owen, the boy we find out Lily falls in love with, but is chased away by her mother. Most interestingly, however, is the introduction of Keith Van der Woodsen, the man Lily eventually marries and with whom she has Serena and Eric.
Knowing how Lilys story eventually ends (dont forget, Rufus has to show up at some point and get her pregnant), the idea of seeing how she gets there is really interesting to me. This has the potential to be a strong spinoff, and I hope that CW decides to pick it up this fall.
What do you think? Is Valley Girls worth its own show, or should CW just end it now and pretend this experiment never happened?

Scott Disick Goes Right Back To His Creeper Ways
July 08, 2014 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
For a while there, or at least right after he lost his parents, many Twitter followers thought that Scott Disick would make a change for the better, and he seemed to be doing good for a bit. However, Disick seems to have gone right back to his old ways. Once a creeper, always a creeper, right?
When will Scott Disick grow up? Just when Facebook fans thought that maybe he had finally grown up and began putting his family first, Disick has proved everyone wrong, again. According to the new issue of In Touch Magazine, Disick was snagged hitting on other women again recently. Big shocker, huh?
And it gets even grosser. According to one eyewitness, not only was Disick hitting on a hot waitress, but he also: "Offered her money to suck on her toes, and she let him…then he didn't even pay her." Yuck, what is wrong with this guy? And she wasn't the only person that Disick was hitting on that night, as another source claims he hit on another girl in the bathroom, adding: "He grabbed her and turned his sweaty head to kiss her, but she pushed him away and made a grossed-out face. He was so wasted, he didn't even seem to notice."
This is not the first time that Disick has been spotted with other women recently. In fact, numerous reports have been coming out over the past few weeks about Disick cheating on Kourtney. Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly fuming over Scott's behavior, as he cannot seem to stop embarrassing her. And being pregnant, that has definitely got to be hard on her – poor Kourtney. We think it is time she kicks his creeping behind to the curb.
What do you think of Scott Disick's creeper behavior? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Sound off in the comments section below!
