text: It is not a spring practice. It is not officially a reunion. Nor is it some sort of a St. Patrick's Day ceremony. It could be all of the above, of course, but it's really just a gathering to set the stage for the 40th anniversary of one of Notre Dame's great national championships. Thomas D. Sclafani, president of the Fort Lauderdale Notre Dame Alumni Club, is inviting alumni and friends to a March 17 gathering commemorating the 1966 Irish team. It is called the "Legends of Notre Dame Football.'' At least 23 players (and possibly as many as 40) from the '66 squad will be on hand at the Marriott Harbor Resort at Fort Lauderdale Beach. The featured speaker will be Ara Parseghian, who took the Irish to college football's mountaintop in only his third year as head coach. Proceeds from the $100 event, the auction and raffle will benefit Parseghian's medical foundation, the Pete Duranko Fund and the alumni club. (Duranko, a great defensive tackle on that team, is seriously ill with Lou Gehrig's disease.) Parseghian has cut back a little on his golf activity, but he still can shoot his age (83 in May). He still travels "far too much,'' but he gets around fairly well on his surgically-repaired hip and knee. Well remembered Overlooked in the news a month or so ago was a tribute to Joe Moore, the line coaching legend who divided his long career between high schools and then a combined 17 years at the University of Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. Joe's son, John, accepted his late father's Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Football Coaches convention. Many of the great NFL linemen developed by Moore at both Pitt and ND attested to his coaching skills. Moore served from 1988-1995 under Lou Holtz with the Irish. How about others? Last week's mention of the District 4 Hall of Fame nominees brought several responses from Notre Dame fans. One was surprised to see Pat Bisceglia and Dave Duerson on the list. He suggested that Bisceglia's teammate, Art Hunter of the 1953 team, and such later Irish stars as Al Ecuyer, Mike McCoy, Larry DiNardo, Greg Marx, Steve Niehaus, Claremce Ellis, Bob Crable and Dave Casper also could have been nominated. Each of the players on that list earned first-team All-America honors and rightly deserve consideration. Although Casper was a first team All-American as a tight end in 1973. he had been listed as a tackle in earlier lineups. In due time, all of these players could be recognized although some might not have been nominated to get on the district list. That's the first requirement as Tampa Bay Devil Rays Chairman Vince Naimoli discovered in asking about Tom Gatewood. Naimoli's nomination was the first for the great pass-catching star, the record holder until current star Jeff Samardzija came along.

Sh*t Girls Say was original and hilarious, but what followed was an onslaught of parodies that some would call repetitive, including the guys from Dormtainment who are looking to end the fad with this clip entitled 'No More Sh*t Say.'
With the ongoing wave of 'Sh*t Says' videos popping up day after day, it's good to see Dormtainment attempt to put an end to it. But rather than just post a video ranting about how much they hate it, they did something different. The concept behind No More Sh*t Say is to have the crew shout out every single variation of the theme, followed by a clip of them acting it out. This results in some of the most ridiculous ideas that most definitely would have made their way online sooner or later.

Solitaire is an age old classic that comes in multiple forms, and Klondike is probably the most well known. There are many ways to play solitaire, and it's always great to see new ideas like those in Pair Solitaire and 4 Thrones. Sage Solitaire is a new version of Solitaire that provides an all new form in which you're given three rows and three columns of card stacks. Your goal is to clear the board as usual, but now you clear cards by making poker hands. Pairs, straights, flushes, and more clear cards off the stacks with each one worth varying points.
The major twist to Sage Solitaire is that any hand you make needs to include cards from more than one row. Each stack of cards has a different amount from the largest stacks in the top row to the smallest stacks in the bottom row. If you clear out a stack, you get a bonus, but then you have one less potential card to make a hand from. There's quite a bit of strategy involved in each hand you make as you need to balance clearing the tallest stacks with making the highest point hands. You're also given two trash abilities that regenerate after a valid hand, and you also need to use them at the right time in an attempt to clear the board.
It's great to have concepts of solitaire and poker combined into an all new challenge with its own strategic elements to contend with. It's a simple concept with a surprising amount of depth that will entice you to replay numerous times. The game is presented with a clean style to let you focus on the challenge at hand, while clearly identifying stack heights and poker hands. The main game mode is free, and there are two additional modes available for a one time $2.99 in-app purchase. The two additional modes give you either two decks to play with or the ability to make 15 by adding cards together.
Sage Solitaire (Free, Universal) delivers a great card game challenge that is well worth picking up.

News of the Weird
I propose a sticky for this topic....as a collection place for all the random things that get posted in this section. :D
I'll start:
The Winner
1.) I'm not going to sticky a general news thread.
2.) I'm not going to sticky a thread that spells "weird" wrong.
well, you could have at least corrected my typing error, since that was all it was.
and you can't blame a girl for trying something new! G'nite folks! :D
Sorry, I'm just tired of all the news threads. Every time someone gets a puppy or bought some groceries, there has to be a news thread about it. Perhaps you could wait until some real news is released.
I think this is a cool idea, Katie. All the whacked-out topics people find can be posted in one thread, thereby cleaning up this section a little. I vote for a sticky, making it a total of.... 2. Well, it's a start. ;)
Love kills... =_=

Strange Time Capsule
TOKYO (AFP) - A letter that a young girl in Japan sent into the sky in a balloon some 15 years ago has been found on a fish hauled from 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) below the Pacific.
A fisherman found the still legible piece of paper sitting on a sticky flatfish in his catch on Thursday, along with a torn-off string and the fragment of a red balloon.
He opened the folded paper, discovering it was a handwritten letter from a six-year-old girl at an elementary school in Kawasaki, 150 kilometres (93 miles) away from where the fish was caught off Choshi port.
The sender, Natsumi Shirahige, and her friends released letters as part of events to mark the school's 120th anniversary, which was in 1993.
"Our school is 120 years old... If you pick up this letter, please write to me," the letter reads, listing the school's address.
The 52-year-old fisherman said the letter was a nice surprise.
"I've been in fishing for a long time but this is unbelievable," the smiling man told the Asahi television network.
Shirahige, now a 21-year-old university student, said: "I can't get over the wonder of how the letter survived 15 years. I never expected I'd get a reply this way."
HELSINKI (Reuters) - A hospital patient in Finland found a mouse head among the steamed vegetables on his plate.
"Understandably, he lost his appetite," said Sakari Kela, chief administrator at the Northern Karelia Central Hospital.
The health of the patient in Joensuu, eastern Finland, had not been compromised by the dead rodent, Kela said on Saturday.
The severed head most likely originated in a bag of Belgian vegetables. The body has not been found and being "a Belgian mouse, the rest of it could be anywhere in Europe", Kela said.

Jackpot Jeans
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - All week, Sammy Zabib was getting an earful from his girlfriend for forgetting to buy her a pair of designer jeans she spotted in a casino boutique last weekend.
"She was mad," said Zabib, a 42-year-old limousine fleet manager in New York. "We had an argument. More than one."
They're not arguing now.
On a return trip to pick up the jeans and end the grief Friday morning, Zabib won nearly $800,000 playing a slot machine.
He got up at 5 a.m. and drove three hours to Atlantic City, arriving at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa before the boutique, Whim, opened at 10 a.m.
In his pocket was a photocopy of a picture of the jeans that his girlfriend printed out for him, just to make sure there would be no confusion.
With some time to kill, he sat down at a Brazil Slingo slot machine and started playing, betting $4 a spin for about an hour.
"I was just trying to kill time until the store opened so I could get her those jeans," he said. "Then the machine stopped working. I didn't know why, so I called security. They came over, took a look at it, and said, 'You won the jackpot!'"
He called his girlfriend, whom he identified only as Anna, and she started screaming.
"She wasn't mad anymore," he said with a laugh. "She's waiting for me at home now."
After receiving his payout from the casino, Zabib completed his mission, buying the pair of "7 For All Mankind" jeans — Dojo style — that Anna had wanted so badly.
"They're the hot brand right now," said Borgata spokesman Michael Facenda. "They go for $149 a pair."
Zabib doesn't know what else he'll do with his newfound riches.
"Maybe buy her some more jeans," Zabib said.
Mama's Outlaws
LODI, Calif. - Shoplifting is all in the family for one California clan, police say.
A grandmother, her daughter and some of her grandchildren tried to steal $900 worth of merchandise from a Target store in Lodi, 35 miles south of Sacramento, police Officer Misty Smith said.
The family's alleged shoplifting spree earlier this week was captured by surveillance video, which police say showed them cutting open boxes and hiding MP3 players, digital cameras, DVDs, jewelry and sports equipment in purses, bags and a backpack.
An 8-year-old and a 5-year-old were among the family members detained.
"The 5-year-old actually had a pack of gum. A small item but we could see where her life was heading because she thinks more than likely this is a normal way of life, this is what you do," said Dale Eubanks of the Lodi police.
Linda Robinson, 59, and her 36-year-old daughter, Anna Fernandez, were charged Wednesday with burglary, grand theft, vandalism and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. They were released from jail. If convicted, each could face eight years in prison.
Fernandez's teenage sons, 17 and 14, were arrested on suspicion of grand theft and will face charges in juvenille court, authorities said. Another teen not related to the family also was arrested.
The two children were released to relatives and will not face charges.
It was not immediately clear if the family had a lawyer.
Satelite to hit Earth
Hey, I'm all for a sticky thread for weird news. Krow's right, would keep the site a bit more clutter free.
Anyways, while not weird, more worrysome, a satelite which lost power, is crashing back to earth. Here's the full story on it.
ADRIAN, Mich. A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said.
Police found Frank Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a John Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper bag, officials said.
He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store, two miles from home.
His blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower.
Kozumplik declined to comment Monday night.
^LOL. That's when you ride a horse, cant be arrested for RUI! Not yet anyways.:ohwell:
Is That a Crowbar in Your Pants?
SWEETWATER, Tenn. (AP) A woman has been charged with possession of burglary tools after police said a crowbar slipped out of her pants as she was lurking around a church.
McMinn County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Shadrick pulled into the church parking lot early Saturday morning after he spotted a car parked near the building.
He found Jennifer Hunt, 35, walking from behind the building, where she said she was going to bathroom. When she was walking to her car to get her ID, a crowbar dropped from her pants
The officer also found Hunt had a screwdriver and observed pry marks on church doors. Hunt was being held on $2,000 bond pending a Tuesday arraignment.
Rescue Group: Please Adopt Donkeys
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) Instead of finding homes for abandoned dogs or cats, one animal rescue group is asking Minnesotans to adopt donkeys. Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue has more than 1,000 donkeys, including abused and neglected domestic donkeys and wild burros.
Most of the organization's adopted donkeys are kept at sanctuaries in western states such as California. But Peaceful Valley would like to find Midwest landowners willing to serve as satellite adoption centers, meaning they would agree to foster six donkeys at a time and find adoptive homes for them, said Vice President Rachael Komulainen, a Bemidji native.
Peaceful Valley also hopes to eventually get landowners to donate land for a Midwest sanctuary, Komulainen said.
The landowners provide fencing, shelter and care for the animals and are reimbursed for hay, vaccinations and other costs.
Komulainen said some people question whether donkeys really need to be rescued.
"Our society we have really looked down upon the donkey, and it's really a shame," Komulainen said, adding that donkeys have little monetary value and are often neglected.
Donkeys are gentle, intelligent, social animals and don't deserve their reputation for stubbornness, she said.
Ribbit! This Green Isn't Part of Salad
NEW YORK (AP) You just don't want to eat some greens. That's how a Brooklyn mom felt when she found a tiny frog comfortably nestled in the leaves of organic lettuce she was preparing to eat.
"I jumped away," said 39-year-old Yvonne Brechbuhler, who described the green critter as no bigger than the tip of her pinky finger.
"I didn't know what it was. But once I realized it was a frog, I was OK," she told the Daily News in Thursday editions.
Intrigued, she named the frog "Curious."
Brechbuhler, a stage actress, said she bought the lettuce at her local food co-op and kept it in the refrigerator three days before using it last week.
Brechbuhler and her 7-year-old daughter, Orla, placed the frog in a jar on a bed of lettuce leaves and water, and fed it fruit flies they collected at a nearby garden. Afterward, they decided Curious would be happier at an animal facility specializing in reptiles and amphibians. The facility, Sean Casey Animal Rescue, has put it up for adoption.
An employee at the food co-op said it was the first such incident in memory.
Chocolate Room Heralds Valentine's Day
NEW YORK (AP) Don't lick the walls. An all-chocolate room was unveiled in Manhattan on Tuesday a pre-Valentine's Day creation complete with furniture and artwork made of the sweet stuff.
"It's the perfect bit of sin," said Ali Larter, star of TV's "Heroes," of the Godiva chocolate "pearls" that are her private daily indulgence.
Here, they were dripping off the chandeliers above the dining table, which was a sea of stars, truffles and crescents all chocolate, of course, under glass.
Larter is the celebrity face hired by the Belgian chocolatier for its annual Valentine's Day promotion contest. This year, anyone who buys the winning box of chocolates for $23 and up may win the chocolate room. It is to be re-created in a suite of Manhattan's Bryant Park Hotel for a pampered getaway weekend for two in May.
The winning box sold only in North America will contain a note informing the buyer of his or her good luck.
While no doubt a shameless commercial promotion created by Los Angeles designer Larry Abel the demo chocolate room set up on the sixth floor of an East Village building packed a tasteful, artsy punch.
Hanging in the "living room" was a painting built entirely of multicolored chocolate pieces inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting "The Kiss." Above the dining table was a "canvas" dripping with brown and white chocolate a takeoff on Jackson Pollock's signature "drip" paintings.
And instead of words, books opened to a mound of chocolates.
You could actually sit on the plush sofa, which was chocolate-graced only on its sides, and the walls are made of chocolate.
There were a couple of "dont's" in the room: lighting the fireplace (with its chocolate logs and mantle) and the candles (all chocolate).
In addition, sinking into the easy chairs was discouraged unless you wanted to rise with a chocolate-covered derriere.
mmm... Salami...
German authorities were able to pin a burglary committed in April on a suspected serial thief after he left a half-eaten slice of salami carrying a sliver of his DNA at a crime scene, police said Thursday.
The 37-year-old Romanian man is accused of breaking into a workshop office in the western city of Darmstadt, stealing cash and two locks and causing damage worth around 3,400 euros ($5,055), Suedhessen police spokesman Ferdinand Derigs said. "He didn't bring the salami with him -- it was just lying around in the office," Derigs said.
The man was already wanted in connection with 19 burglaries and had been taken into custody in January after a routine police road check, he added. Investigations are continuing.
Flying the REALLY Friendly Skies
German nudists will be able to start their holidays early by stripping off on the plane if they take up a new offer from an eastern German travel firm.
Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings from Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5 and costing 499 euros ($735).
"It's expensive, I know," managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's because the plane's very small. There's no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other."
The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.
"I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves but the idea came from a customer," Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's an unusual gap in the market."
Naturism, or "free body culture" (FKK) as it is known in Germany, was banned by the Nazis but blossomed again after the Second World War, particularly in eastern Germany.
"There are FKK hotels where you can go into the restaurants and shops naked, for example," Hess said. "For FKK fans -- not that I'm one of them -- it's nothing unusual."
"I don't want people to get the wrong idea. It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that," he added. "We're a perfectly normal holiday company."
I unfortunately have no link to this news, but...
Singer Tom Jones just insured his chest hair. Not kidding.
How can you insure something that can always grow back? About almost as bad as when Jennifer Lopez had her butt insured. Alot of good that did, she still has her butt, and her career is going nowhere.
But chest hair? Sounds like something a character from Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo would do.
Bad Cops In Florida County
Look what these cops did to this poor guy in a wheel chair. Apparently the main deputy didn't believe the guy was a paraplegic. After watching this video, can you say law suit!
Well, it looks like the Elmo toys are at it again... saying mumbly, jumbly stuff a clearly hard of hearing mother misconstrues as something terrible.

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse
The historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse overlooks the Newport jetties and the mouth of Yaquina Bay. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the lighthouse was built in 1871 and then quickly decommissioned in 1874 upon the completion of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. It was restored in 1996, and its light now shines steadily from dusk until dawn as an aid to navigation. It is thought to be the oldest building in Newport.
The lighthouse is located in Yaquina Bay State Park, which sits at the north end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. The lighthouse is open to the public most days of year. Hours vary depending on season, see yaquinalights.org for more information.

Map of 101 CleanTech Startups by Earth2Tech
A few years ago, venture capitalists were pouring funds into internet startups. They still do, but now the new "hot" thing is green, and tons of young companies are trying to make it into the various fields of the cleantech sector.
Earth2Tech has created a Google Map with 101 CleanTech startups (there's a functional version of it embedded lower in this post). It is pretty US-centric, and within that country Silicon Valley is probably over-represented (though the entrepreneurial spirit over there is hard to beat), but it's still very interesting to explore. You might even find something close to you that you didn't know about!
View Larger Map
Here it is. Don't be afraid to zoom in and click on markers for more information. If that's too cramped, you can switch to a larger version by clicking on the link right under the map.
We encourage Earth2Tech to keep adding cleantech startups to it.

MILWAUKEE -- One night after breaking the Orioles' spirit with his bat, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo shut them down the conventional way.
Gallardo lasted 6 2/3 solid innings Wednesday in the Brewers' 8-3 victory in the series' rubber match at Miller Park.
"A lot of people may not be familiar with him, [but] he is one of the best pitchers in the National League," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about Gallardo, who allowed three runs, four hits and five walks Wednesday. "We knew it was going to be a challenge coming in."
The Orioles (26-25) and Brewers (32-22) now have faced each other three times in interleague play, and in each instance, the home club has won two of three games.
Overall, the Orioles have dropped 11 of their past 17 and are again just one game over .500 on the season. They are now 4-3 in interleague games this season.
Gallardo (3-3), who was Tuesday's hero with a pinch-hit, walk-off double in the 10th, hadn't pitched since leaving his May 10 start with a sprained left ankle. On Wednesday, he struck out five and pretty much held the Orioles in check -- with the exception of slugger Nelson Cruz.
Cruz homered to right-center field in the second inning for the Orioles' first hit. He picked up their second hit, too, a majestic clout in the sixth inning that smacked the batter's eye wall in deep center. The multihomer game was Cruz's second of the season -- the first coming April 23 against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre -- and 12th of his career.
"I've known Nelson for quite a while, and I haven't seen him this locked in for this long," Showalter said. "I think it bodes well."
Cruz now has a major league-leading 19 homers in 193 at-bats, and he is on pace for 60 this season. His career high is 33 with the Texas Rangers in 2009. Cruz's 48 RBIs are most in the American League and second in the majors behind the Miami Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton.
During his current nine-game hitting streak, Cruz is batting .469 (15-for-32) with five doubles, seven homers, eight walks and 11 RBIs. His 12 home runs in May are the most for him in any month of his career. He said this could be the most locked-in span of his career.
"Maybe. Maybe in the minors, something like that, but not in the big leagues," Cruz said. "I think the approach I've been taking the past few weeks has been pretty good."
In a slight surprise, the Orioles scored a third run in the seventh without Cruz even coming to the plate. Nick Markakis doubled with two outs to chase Gallardo, and Manny Machado followed with an RBI single. The Orioles didn't score again.
Gallardo's mound counterpart, Bud Norris, wasn't sharp to start. After retiring the first batter he faced, the Orioles right-hander allowed consecutive walks followed by Carlos Gomez's RBI single.
In the second, Norris gave up a two-run double by Ryan Braun, and in the third, the Brewers scored against Norris without getting a hit.
Gomez was hit by a pitch to start the inning, stole second base, moved to third on a fly ball and scored on a sacrifice fly to give the Brewers a 4-1 lead.
"The way it started, I guess, we should feel fortunate we could get six innings out of Bud," Showalter said.
Norris (3-5) pitched three scoreless innings after the early struggles, giving the Orioles a chance to mount another comeback -- they had rallied in each of the first two extra-inning games against the Brewers, winning one and losing one.
"We pulled out of both of them, and [were] really close tonight. That's not always going to be hunky-dory and everything fall in line," Showalter said. "We could have very easily won two, and possibly three, games. I really like our chances if we can keep at 4-3."
It was the fourth straight time Norris has lasted at least six innings, but also the third time in four outings that he has given up four earned runs. It pushed his ERA to 4.04, still the lowest of any Orioles starter.
"I've been pitching deep into ballgames all year. You want to do it. Stay out there as long as you can," Norris said. "My pitch count did skyrocket the first few innings, but I did settle down, make an adjustment. To get through six was pretty nice."
Once again Wednesday, the Orioles offense had to try and dig out of an early hole. So far this season, they have been outscored by 20 runs in the first four innings.
They got within one run in the seventh before the Brewers broke it open with a four-run eighth against relievers Brad Brach and Brian Matusz. The big blow was a three-run homer off Matusz by Brewers outfielder Khris Davis, who homered in each of the three games in the series.
"We didn't make enough quality pitches as a staff," Showalter said. "And we have to get a little more consistent there because it will take a toll on our bullpen."
Showalter said he and his coaching staff will discuss bullpen moves on the plane to Houston, and that there was a chance that they would again add another pitcher from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
"We have a couple of options coming our way, if we need it. We'll sit down on the plane, see if we need to do something," Showalter said. "It's always possible when we are pitching four-, five- and six-inning starts and pitching in extra-inning games. It has a domino effect."
If there is any bright side of losing two of three in Milwaukee, it's that Cruz is continuing his push as the early favorite for AL Most Valuable Player. An impressive surge for a player that had to settle for a one-year contract this offseason after being suspended in last year's Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal.
"It's fun to watch him. You get out of the way, and you have a few moments where you go, 'Really?' He makes it look easy, but it's not, what he's doing," Showalter said. "But I am happy for him. And for us. I know what he has been through, and he will be the first to tell you it was self-inflicted. But he has come back in great fashion."

The Soldiers' Tower
Photos and transcription by contributor Wayne Adam - Posted November, 2014
On the northwest corner of Hart House Circle, near the entrance to Soldiers' Tower can be found this plaque. An identical one stands on the north side of the tower, immediately next to it. Here's what they say:
Coordinates: 43.663502 -79.395022
The Soldiers' Tower is the University of Toronto's war memorial. A few months after the Armistice ended the First World War on 11 November 1918, the University of Toronto Alumni Association began fundraising to build a memorial tower to honour the alumni, students, faculty and staff who had served and died in the war. The names of the 628 men and women who died while in service are engraved on the Memorial Screen in the west arcade. In 1949, the names of the 557 university men and women who died in service in the Second World War were engraved on the two walls of the archway.
The cornerstone of the Tower was laid on 11 November 1919, the same day that Hart House was officially opened. The Tower was dedicated at commencement in June 1924 and the clock and carillon were added in 1927. Its location between Hart House and University College was chosen to symbolize the union of the new with the old.
The 43 m Tower is second only to the Peace Tower in Ottawa as Canada's tallest war memorial. In the top section are hung the 51 bells of the carillon. The Memorial Room inside the Tower immediately above the archway houses artifacts illustrating the contributions of the university community to the defence of Canada's freedom. The Garden of Remembrance was completed in 2002 on the western side of the Memorial Screen.

While I can't say for sure that you will lose weight while using this particular video, I know you can condition your body with Yoga and Pilates.
I like the combination and have many DVDs and videos. So, I recommend this in addition to all the other workouts you own. Variety seems essential in keeping us all motivated!
The theory behind this workout is that yoga can be used for therapeutic applications. Being overweight has a lot to do with an imbalance in your body's physiology and an internal disconnection between the mind and body.
If you think about when you overeat it might be when you are feeling stressed. It is much easier to keep to your healthy nutrition plan when you feel calm and in control. I also have come to believe that when we are stressed, our bodies pack on the pounds.
So, this workout gives a calmness to your being and in this way you help to control the bodies healing process.
There are four workout levels:
Complete Workout - For anyone who has experience in yoga. All you need is a yoga mat.
Slightly Modified (1/4) - To build strength and stamina.
Partially Modified (1/2) - When your flexibility improves.
Fully Modified - If you have tight hips or hamstrings, you can use a strap, bricks
and a blanket.
All the workouts contain a 10 minute "Body and Breath" warm-up section to loosen the muscles and heat the core. The breathing cues are excellent and you will find yourself enjoying the deep cleansing breaths.
This is followed by "Active Yoga Conditioning." A mirror behind you is helpful at first until you learn to moves. Or you can just do some backwards and still see the screen. Many of the poses where chosen with larger bodies in mind. This is great for people who are just starting yoga. You will notice that three of the instructors are definitely more like the "normal size" woman.
It was comforting to me to see women who modified various poses as I often have to. Instead of feeling like I could not do the poses, I felt I was reaching a level that was comfortable for me. You may also find you can do some of the poses from the advanced level and some from the modified. You feel so proud of yourself when you can finally feel comfortable doing most of the advanced poses.
Finally you enter the 14 minute cool down phase called: "Balance and Relaxation."
During the workout you might notice a Personal Instructor Icon. On my DVD control I had to select the "ok" to get this feature to work. There is also a nice way to get to various workout levels. You just press the "angle" button.
Once you watch the complete workout/combination workout, you can then figure out which level you are at. After watching the combined workout, you will more than likely enjoy just working out with one instructor. You have the choice of four instructors.
I find that my yoga and Pilates workout "moments" have become so healing and nurturing. If you wish to make your setting even more comfortable and are familiar with yoga, I would recommend a nice duvet/comforter covered in a soft fabric. Once folded in half, this gives you a nice soft padded space on which you can place your yoga mat, etc. If you need props, there is information in the pamphlet that is included with the DVD.
Think of exercise as your own private mini-vacation and suddenly exercise is something you start to look forward to. You could also walk for 30 minutes before starting these exercises or walk in the morning and do this video at night.
An exercise program for the entire mind/body/spirit connection. The 16-page full-color pamphlet also contains a mini-nutrition guide, tips on healthy eating and a weight management guide.
Develops concentration, patience, body awareness, muscle tone and a sense of emotional calm.
If you are new to Yoga, this might be the best place to start. I can also recommend "Pilates Conditioning for Weight Loss" with Suzanne Deason.

I really love this video!

"My first experience with yoga was the Jane Fonda yoga workout. There were a lot of positions that were hurting my knees. In addition, I really was not getting anything out of it at all. Though yoga is not necessarily supposed to be aerobic exercise, if you don't have to work at all you won't get anything out of it. I recently started taking a yoga class, and when I did this video for the first time, the pace and some of the positions were similar to what was done in my class. This reassured me that the makers really knew what they were doing. It provides good deal of work in both stregnth and flexibility, but at the same time, there are four levels so that ou will never have to push yourself too far or risk injury. This video leaves me feeling great and I really recommend it!"

"This is a great Yoga DVD. I would not recommend the tape as the DVD has tons of special features that allow you to not only learn each pose as you go through the workout, but also allows you to choose which level you would like to practice. Its not nearly as rigorous as Living Arts' Power Yoga series, but I like this pace a lot better because its easier for beginners to follow. "Beginner" in yoga does not necessarily mean someone who's never taken a yoga class before. Remeber, beginner in Power Yoga means someone who can balance on their hands with their feet crossed in the air!I've been reading some of these comments that say this workout is hard to follow because Deason does not offer instructions on how to move in and out of the poses. Well, there's a little feature called "Personal Instructor" which you can turn on to interrupt the workout and show you the pose. This feature is clearly discussed in the instructions on how to use this DVD.Give it time and learn all the cool features about this DVD. I"ve managed to lose some weight using this DVD and basically nothing else. I used to wake up and do Tae Bo or some other aerobics. Yeah, I lost weight... but I've also lost wieght doing yoga and I find that I've gained a greater focus even though I do not practice meditation.I recommend this DVD. Its challenging, but don't let that stop you. And READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before you just press play on your DVD."

"This is a great DVD - and I must admit that I was originally attracted by the words "Weight Loss" in the title. However, after owning it for 4 months and trying to do the sequence at least twice a week, I don't think that this workout on its own will promote weight loss. That's not to say that it wouldn't help someone as part of a balanced exercise and diet lifestyle. I just think that by having the words "weight loss" in the title means that the DVD might not appeal to those who don't want to lose weight, but just want to do a good yoga routine.The DVD is a really good introduction to yoga. I especially like the fact that there are 4 different instructors leading the routines, which progress from a basic beginner's sequence up to Suzanne Deason herself leading a fairly advanced routine. It's good to be able to progress without having to buy more DVDs.Suzanne is a good teacher - and she really explains the moves well. I've haven't gotten bored yet - there's enough variety in the routine. The features of the DVD are great - skipping from one section to another, changing the angle to follow a different leader, etc.There are 3 parts to the routine - the first emphasises breathing and is good to do first thing in the morning. The "Active Conditioning" segment is also good - none of the poses are really challenging in themselves, but the length of time they are held for provides a good stretch. The cool down section is also good - I often do it separately at night.I would definitely recommend this DVD."

Hide and Seek
This is the first book that Jasmine read by herself, aged four years and three months.
She has been interested in letter formation and mark-making for almost two years now and has progressed brilliantly, at her own pace.
We started by tracing letters, which she did on paper and on her Leapster. Once she had mastered the formation of each letter, she would ask us to spell out words for her so that she could write them by herself.
She can now write simple words without any assistance (including Mummy, as I found out on Mother's Day), and numbers from 1-10 too.
I had thought reading a bit of a way off still, but she has recently been recognising words. Spotting them whilst out and about and sounding out the letters.
I bought Hide and Seek as a little experiment, to see what she would make of it.
First, we looked at the pictures and talked about what was happening in the story.
Then I asked Jasmine to look at the letters and sound them out.
She went through each one, starting with can. C-a-n, can. Each word was sounded out, letter by letter, then formed by itself. C-a-n can, y-o-u you, s-e-e see, m-e, me?
Then, with such pride and excitement, she managed the sentence - Can you see me?
Quickly, she read the whole story.
I have always wanted to gift my children a love of reading.
I signed up to a book club when Jasmine was still a newborn and collected many, many stories that we have since shared, over and over.
It is with great happiness that I witness her beginning to read alone.
I am, as ever, an incredibly proud mummy.

O.K so we move on from the T100 and T200 .The T300 remains much the same with standard colour schemes red, black and steel blue.
The T400 as the well known travel bike has colour changes too.The nexus 8 speed and Alivio model is standard in black and chilli.The Rohloff version is slate or steel blue.
Last years SLX version which proved incredibly popular as always is now running on Shimano XT and comes as standard in ebony black or milk white.Both the Rohloff and XT versions are sporting Tubus front low riders as standard and for the first time come with bottle holders fitted.
The next new "fill in" model is the T500 which is running on Shimano SLX and magura HS 11 brakes.This equipment places it firmly between the T300 and 700 meaning there is not such a large price difference between the two.
Pics above show the T400 Rohloff vesion and to the right the T400 XT version.

Actor Prabhas, who is fondly known as "Baahubali" by all, has taken a very bold decision which may make his fans very sad.
During the trailer launch of "Baahubali: The Conclusion", the actor said that he won't be a part of "Baahubali" in the future.
As soon as the trailer of the film released on the 16th, it became instantly viral on the internet. Everyone was talking about Prabhas's amazing looks and fiery action skills.
However, recently Prabhas revealed that he will not be doing anymore "Baahubali" series as he is tired of doing it.
In an interview with a leading daily, the South star said, "I have given four years of my career to "Baahubali" but now I am just tired of it. When I was working on the film's project, I gave my full attention to the film and so, didn't take up any other project".
The 37-year-old actor went on to say that "Baahubali" is his lifetime film but now, he wants to experiment and do different things.
He also said that if in the future "Baahubali 3" would release, then he wouldn't be a part of the film.
The trailer of "Baahubali: The Conclusion" was grander than the first part. It crossed 50 million mark on YouTube and became the most viewed Indian film trailer. It indicates that the film is going to be a blockbuster.
Directed by SS Rajamouli, 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' also features Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia in key roles. It is slated to release on April 28
Are you excited?

Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of Ray Bradbury's most popular works. It tells the story of two friends, Jim Nightshade and Will Halloway, who are thirteen and yearn to be older. The story thus examines themes of maturity and aging, concentrating on the cusp between childhood and adulthood. The book also tells of Will's father, Charles, who feels old and wishes to young again, thus reversing the desire of the younger pair. Their anxieties about aging and adulthood play out against the backdrop of a mysterious carnival that comes to their town.
Something Wicked This Way Comes can be most easily described as a horror story, filled with monsters and suspense, though it also touches upon more traditionally "literary" themes, such as childhood and innocence. At its heart, the novel is a coming-of-age story about growing up and accepting who you are. This "serious" side of the book follows from its personal origins: there is a great deal of Bradbury's own childhood within its pages nd the town in which the story takes place, the fictional Green Town, Illinois, is modeled after Bradbury's own childhood home of Waukegan, IL. In many ways, Something Wicked This Way Comes can be viewed as a companion novel to the lighter Dandelion Wine, which tells the story of two young boys over the course of a magical and idyllic summer.
In a brief "Afterword", Bradbury explains the origins of the novel. In 1950, just after the publication of The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury had dinner with the actor/singer Gene Kelly, star of Singing in the Rain. A few years later, Gene invited the author on set for a private screening of Invitation to a Dance. These experiences awakened in Bradbury a desire to work with Kelly on a movie. Bradbury searched through his files and found an unpublished ten-page short story called "The Black Ferris", about two boys at a carnival at night. Over the next few weeks, Bradbury reworked the story into a full-length screenplay called Dark Carnival. He sent it to Gene who tried unsuccessfully to arrange financing for the picture. Bradbury spent the next five years writing Something Wicked This Way Comes from the Dark Carnival screenplay.
The title of the novel comes from a remark made by the "weird sisters" in Shakespeare's Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs / Something wicked this way comes". It was made into a Disney movie in 1983 starring Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark, Pam Grier as the Dust Witch, and Jason Robards as Charles Halloway.

Didymo in a South Island river
Over the past few years several researchers including Cathy Kilroy from NIWA and other researchers from Canada and the USA have been pursuing the didymo problem. Their findings have been very encouraging yet have largely gone un-noticed by the angling community.
This ongoing reseach may even provide answers and, in time, even provide workable solutions to inhibit the spread of didymo.
This article is a brief summary of the major findings to date.
Didymo has has turned up en mass in many South Island streams and rivers and even along many lake shorelines. Consequently it has become the bane of anglers and other water users who have been plagued by the rapid spread of this invasive alagae through many waterways.
These algae "blooms" have also appeared in waters in North America and Europe.
The cause of it's spread has, to a large extent, been blamed on itinerant anglers moving it between the waters they are fishing by not drying and/or cleaning their gear properly.
Didymo or "rock snot" as it is colloquially known, is an algae that can spread quickly to cover the rocks in a river or lake shore. It has several strange features in that it prefers waterways which are nutrient poor and seems to be very selective as to where it can proliferate.
As lakes tend to strip the nutirents from water, didymo blooms are often worst at a river's source where it leaves a still water. The Buller, Gowan and Clutha are all good examples of this.
Didymo can survive for a long period of time in a single drop of water and so is easily transported between waterways. That said it is in fact a reasonably fragile organism and can be killed by quite dilute solutions of products such as bleach. Once it is dry or frozen it also dies.
While it is found in many South Island rivers there have been notable exceptions to its spread. It was observed early on that spring creeks could not support didymo and most surprisingly it has never appeared in the North Island of NZ.
There has been much speculation as to why it has not been found in our northern waters despite the fact that there is plenty of evidence that anglers do move freely between the islands and it is doubtful to say the least that all have scrupulously adhered to the "check, clean, dry" message.
The response to date
So far the response to the didymo threat has been rather haphazard. Biosecurity NZ ran a comprehensive response from 2004 to 2008. It terminated in 2008 when it became clear that stopping the spread was not feasible.
Felt soled boots were found to be great ways to spread didymo. Water could stay in the felt for up to two weeks and didymo needed only one drop of infected water to be transferred from one water to another. Consequently felt soled boots were banned by Fish & Game causing many an angler to take an undignified glide down the river they were fishing. (Many other regions around the world have followed Fish and Game's example and banned felt soles).
But this ban on felt only applied to anglers. Other water users such as white-baiters, rafters, kayakers and others could continue to use felt soles if they were not targeting trout or salmon.
Allied with the ban on felt there was a massive campaign to educate the public with a "check, clean, dry" message being touted around the country. Wardens were stationed at the interislander ferry terminals (but not airports) to check that infected tackle was not being moved between the islands.
To briefly summarise several years research, Kilroy et al found that in waterways where the amount of phosphorus in the water was lower than 2 parts per billion, didymo flourished.
In waterways that had higher than 2 parts per billion of phosphorus present, the spread of didymo was suppressed or absent altogether. It appears from the evidence to date that phosphurus in quite minute quantities in waterways will stop didymo from flourishing.
For more details about the research see "Didymo in New Zealand: Ten years on" by Cathy Kilroy
If it is proven that phosphorus (or lack of) in a waterway is the trigger for didymo then it will provide an explanation as to why didymo has not established a presence in North Island rivers. Most (though not all) North Island rivers have a high percentage of volcanic material in them which in turn means a higher proportion of phosphorus.
If phosphorus is the trigger, then the vast majority of North Island waters cannot and will not sustain didymo. They are not in danger of becoming infected. This alone will be a huge relief to every angler in the North Island and worth celebrating.
More details about the effects of phosphorus can be found in the article "Geographic pattern of phosphorus in river water"
Kilroy and colleagues carried out a small-scale experiment in the Ohau river which was heavily infected with didymo. Working in a small side braid, they found that cover by didymo was greatly diminished following application of small amounts of phosphorus by diffusion. Yet in untreated sections of the braid, didymo continued to flourish as usual.
This demonstrated that the pattern they observed of didymo blooming only in rivers with low phosphorus was unlikely to be just coincidence.
The Ohau river used for experimentation showing the didymo infestation
As with all such research, no matter how promising the first results, it will be necessary to proceed with caution.
Questions such as what the impact will be of even a minute amount of phosphorus added to a living ecosystem needs to be examined. But as phosphorus naturally occurs in most if not all of the North Island waterways, this is probably not a major issue.
Kilroy also notes that we are still at the early stages of understanding the effects of phosphorus on didymo. We don't know exactly how increasing phosphorus levels prevents didymo blooms, and we don't know why didymo is often not found, even in small amounts, in rivers with high phosphorus levels.
The only way to learn more is to carry out repeat experiments in different waterways, to see if adding phosphorus has a general effect of inhibiting didymo blooms.
It is of course more than just emptying a container of phosphorus into a river at source and watching the magic results. There is a lot to do to work out the most effective way of applying phosphorus and to monitor the effects on both didymo, other algae and the eco-system.
Whatever happens from here, this is a major breakthrough and every angler should be happy with what has been discovered to date.
Anglers as a group need to be very supportive of NIWA and the work they are doing as this may be the beginning of reversing the spread of this noxious pest from our waterways and returning rivers and lakes to something we can be proud of. It is probably unrealistic to believe that we will ever rid our waterways of this noxiuos weed, but we may now have a tool that can control it.
It could even be the signal to relook at the felt sole ban in the North Island at least.
We will of course be following developments with great interest and want to ensure that this important study carries on and does not just languish in an academic library.
To see more detail see "The Didymo Story": Bothwell, Tayor and Kilroy
While this article has been about didymo and how there may now be cause to think we can control it, anglers must remain vigilant that didymo is only one of a number of invasive species that have entered our waterways.
When moving around we must remain aware that other weeds can also be easily transferred between waters and the Check, Clean, Dry message still should be applied when moving from one fishery to another.

"That guy is evil , a drug head, " dixit MSM . and had the utmost respect for the taxpayers. we need one like him where I live.
While it's no secret that Rob Ford truly cared about taxpayers, a video of him exposing the 'free perks' Toronto Councillors' receive is a microcosm of what he stood for.
The video was uploaded to Facebook shortly after Ford's death by Sajan van Sandall.
In the description Sandall wrote, "Nobody was more honest than Rob Ford in our Government. Watch as Rob Ford exposes the free perks handed to Councillors which were paid by Taxpayers! RIP."
The video was shared over 2300 times and has been viewed over 4,000,000 times.
Will the city of Toronto ever have another mayor like Rob Ford?

Photo Album Support
I'm currenty working on supporting Jasc Photo Album directly via a plug-in. Additionally I want to beef up IPTC/EXIF support. FlickrImportr supports:
- ACDSee 7.0+ (via XML export)
- Photools.com iMatch (via CSV export)
- Embedded IPTC tags; header, comment, keywords
Picassa and Adobe Photo Album are out of the picture, they have closed systems. IRFANView and the rest all just edit IPTC information.
Are there any others that I should take a look at?

MAC's Night Thrill Eyeshadow is a beautiful golden shade with a metallic shimmer through it. I really love golden eyeshadow so I was instantly drawn to Night Thrill. It looked really cool so I couldn't resist. I also love the metallic turquoise packaging that this eyeshadow comes in.
I think this will be a great shade to wear over brown shadows to add a bit of metallic shimmer. Of course I will try using this eyeshadow wet to see what kind of effect it provides. I am really hoping that I love this eyeshadow.
What do you guys think of MAC's Night Thrill Golden Eyeshadow? Have you tried it before? Do you have a favourite MAC eyeshadow?

Crotch Shots Part Deux
This time I wasn't gonna mess around. This time, the fix was gonna last. So instead of going with some cheesy iron-on denim, I reached for heavyweight khaki fabric to make a pair of long-lasting crotch patches.
It is imperative to note the origin of these crotch patches. They came from none other than the "seahorse pants"--an amazing discovery in cousin-in-law Tara's giveaway clothing pile years ago. I was going through her old clothes, which were a goldmine of awesome finds, when I stumbled upon these pants and proceeded to laugh for the next three months. Tara couldn't quite explain how these pants came into her possession and swears she never wore them. (The tags are still on the pants to prove it.) I took the pants thinking someday, somehow, I will want to include an embroidered seahorse motif on something. I'm thinking it will be on the back of a denim jacket...when I'm in the "seahorse gang" (or something). In the meantime, the khaki was used for crotch patches.
I sewed those puppies on around all of the edges using a zigzag stitch, which allows the fabric to stretch a little without tearing the stitches. And for a person who insists on quoting Sally O'Mally about once a week, flexibility is a must. ("I can KICK, I can STREEEETCH....and I'm 50!")
I then turned the jeans right side out and did another zigzag stitch right along the rip, going back and forth a few times, so now the two sides of the tear are bonded together by the strength of a wide zigzag!
Around this time I realized I probably shouldn't have used brown thread. In my defense, I didn't have any blue thread laying around and the notions shop is just too far away. I know, I know, it was a beautiful day and I should have rode my bike, but I didn't. Instead...I opted to use a blue pen and color in the stitches. Trashy, I know! First, I colored in the faded spots and patch fabric with a light blue marker.
Then I went over the brown stitches with a blue ball-point pen. This will probably fade completely the next time I throw the jeans in the washer, and at that point I'll either buy a sharpie or decide I don't care.
When it was all said and done, I must say, I was quite impressed with the crotch repair. And as long as the patches don't fall out, rip, or otherwise fail, I don't think anyone will even notice them!
Unless you're looking at me from this angle. Which you shouldn't.

Liana! I don't like looking at your *pants* from that angle, even when you're not in them.ReplyDelete
Also, thank God, you brought back the trashy to this blog.
I know! I was freaking myself out with my recent bouts of tastefulness. I feel much better now.ReplyDelete
Zig-zag stiches! that's what I have been doing wrong. Oh, the annals of crotch repairs in the this house -- and don't get me started on Russ's pockets. Whose idea was is to make pockets out of the most flimsy material available? Not someone married to a man who carries around pointy keys all day, that's who.ReplyDelete
Yes! Zigzag is the stretchy stitch you have been searching for your whole life! Also, loved hearing about Russ's pocket lining problems. Glad to hear I'm not alone. :)ReplyDelete
I'm kind of sad you cut up those seahorse pants. I would TOTALLY wear them.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tips! My friend just gave me a pair of pants I have been in envy of forever, but they have a crotchal hole that I must repair before I can wear them.
Thanks a lot for sharing this tutorial!!! :) I've been doing crotch-repair research and this one looks really effective. I'm going to try it on a pair of cozy, yet elegant, jeans I wear on my bike commuting.ReplyDelete

Do you happen to know the brand of those seahorse pants...a must have for a crazy buddy of mine if i can get my hands on a pair!ReplyDelete

So how long did this patch hold up for? I ripped my favorite pair of jeans and am trying to find the best solution!ReplyDelete
Hi Everyone! Thanks for your interest in my crotch repairs and in the amazing seahorse pants! Sadly, I have no idea where the pants came from...they were a TJ Maxx purchase, I believe, but probably from like 2005. A unique find that I clearly should have put on E-Bay! (Sorry, guys.) As for the effectiveness of the patches, I am happy to report that I STILL HAVE THE JEANS. They now have holes in other places, like the knees, because when denim grows thin, there just isn't a lot you can do to strengthen the fiber. That said, I did manage to stop the rippage at the crotch. But as a tip for future repairs, I would make the patches a little bigger than you'd think...the rip is going to want to keep ripping no matter what you do, so it's best to anticipate this and let it have a little room to move. I would also recommend going over the edges of the tear several times with zigzag stitches, to make sure you really cut it off at the pass. Good luck with your crotch repairs, everyone!ReplyDelete

better than pins is using washable glue and for heavens sake use light blue thread. gigglesReplyDelete
I just posted a blog about my method for patching tears and holes. I run into this problem frequently too. You should take a look at www.nelsonsewing.com under the Mending Monday category.ReplyDelete
Hi Liana, I found this post because I am researching patching of some shorts and pants which suffer from many miles of bicycle saddle wear. Thank you for sharing your advice. I have a crafty, upstate, high school friend named Tara https://www.etsy.com/people/MindingMilo, is the world this small? Cheers!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 15, 2015 at 4:56 PM
This is how I've been doing mine but I find they wear around the patch. I need a bigger patch, like the size of riding pants patches hahaReplyDelete
I seem to have the same problem with pants. I've found using the same type of fabric, in this case denim, in blue is helpful. Stitch around the patch to prevent fraying. You can zig zag, but have found just little stitches in matching thread works great and becomes pretty invisible. Many check signing pens like uniball are pigment pens, and will be permanent. Magic marker bleeds, and is NOt permanent. It fades especially when washed.ReplyDelete

I do my patch different. I criss cross stitches( not to tight) to bring the hole shut about a 1/2" from the rip. Do close stitches and then sew all the way around the rip going over to secure the stitches crossing the rip. Pull them only just enough to close the rip. Then flip inside out and spread E6000 glue pushing it into the rip and stitches good. Keep it thin so it's not raised from the material. Go around it about 1/4"-1/2" around all the stitches. Let dry some the blow dry really good to heat set glue. Works great on active teams jeans.ReplyDelete
I know this post is over 5 years old, but I came across it on Pintrest and just had to thank you!!!! A couple months ago my favorite pair of jeans ripped in the same place. I figured 6 years was a good life span for jeans so I looked and looked and searched everywhere to replace them only to find that Lucky Brand no longer made this cut. In your post you made the directions look so easy. I am happily sitting here in my newly repaired favorite jeans as I type this. You're my jeans lifesaver!ReplyDelete
