"These are a cute alternative to flats for us shorties. Not slipper-comfy, but definitely not heels-uncomfortable."

Love these!
"These shoes are gorgeous! My sister had a pair, and when I saw them I had to have some! They were a bit tight on the first day but stretched out to a perfect fit after less than a day of wearing. The color is a sparkly metallic pinky/goldy/silver. Hard to describe but awesome."

Shoe to Ruin while Dancing
"I was looking for a cheap pair of wedges that add a little oomph in the heel but are comfortable for 6 hours of dancing and walking around the city. These fit the bill. Neutral so they go with almost anything but the champagne metallic color is a bit tacky for my taste. I'm happy with them solely because they work for what I need and are cheap enough I can ruin them."

A unique facility that demonstrates how off-road rider training and environmental stewardship can coexist.
The Honda OHV & Environmental Learning Center teaches riders of all brands the proper operation of off-highway motorcycles and ATVs in a realistic setting designed to instill in them a responsible land-use ethic.
- To provide a state-of-the-art off-highway-vehicle training facility.
- Provide environmental education to the community.
- Provide a model for OHV recreation facilities in urban park settings.
An unusual venture is under way at American Honda's Rider Education Center in Colton, California, that provides the public with off-road motorcycle and ATV rider training in a setting that teaches respect for the back country riding environment.
The venture is Honda's Off-Highway Vehicle & Environmental Learning Center, a 2-acre addition to the 14-year-old training facility that incorporates 1/3 mile of trail and five distinct ecosystems. Students who come here learn real-world off-road riding techniques and environmentally responsible rider ethics at the same time.
"The Environmental Learning Center will be used to teach environmental awareness and the proper operation of off-highway motorcycles and ATVs," says Colton Rider Education Center Administrator Lowell Christensen. "It will help instill in students a responsible land-use ethic."
"When the MSF came up with an off-highway curriculum, it seemed like a good opportunity to expand what we were doing at Colton." Conventional MSF dirt bike training is done on a level, 150' x 200' range, with cones that delineate certain exercises.
"It was very apparent that training a new rider on a flat riding range, while appropriate, left some of them wanting more. The transition to a real-world situation, with rocks and turns and uphills and downhills, was intimidating for some people."
The initial solution was to model a real-world environment where students could take their basic riding skills and use them to learn to ride effectively in natural terrain. From that preliminary concept, Honda expanded the vision to include instruction on environmentally responsible trail riding.
Cam Lockwood, one of the premier trail builders in the U.S. Forest Service, conceived a set of challenging trail exercises situated in five distinct ecosystems found in the nearby San Bernardino National Forest and Mojave desert. The five native plant communities are grassland, chaparral, desert, woodland, and riparian (land that includes streams, rivers or ponds). Significant planning was also provided by the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of California State Parks. The resulting OHV & Environmental Learning Center is a place where off-highway students learn proper riding techniques and responsible land-use ethics.
Honda trucked in 7000 yards of dirt-more than 300 double truckloads-to create the setting. Some 2541 plants representing 43 different species of plants and trees were utilized to create the five ecosystems. These plants are irrigated by 16,000 feet of PVC pipe and 49 different watering systems. The capital investment in the OHV & Environmental Learning Center range by Honda is nearly half a million dollars.
To broaden the use of the OHV & Environmental Learning Center, Honda associates at the Colton facility invite schools and other entities to study the ecosystems at the center. The site is available for student field trips, research and more.
The staff, at Colton ELC, wishes to bring young people here. For some, riding a motorcycle or ATV might be the farthest thing from their minds, and that's OK. Here we can help them to identify plants and soils, and talk about ecosystems in an environmental class-there are so many ways this center will fit into things they are doing in school."
Christensen has investigated additional uses. "Other possibilities are the Regional Occupation Schools (ROP), where they teach irrigation, irrigation planning and landscape planning. We've offered the center to them to come and study as well," he says.
The San Bernardino National Forest Association (SBNFA), a longtime partner with American Honda, sees more benefits.
"We're looking forward to expanding the partnership we already have with Honda," says SBNFA Executive Director Kris Assel. "We've created a 3400-acre Children's Forest so that children can study ecosystems in a real-life setting. We plan to utilize the OHV & Environmental Learning Center as an urban outpost for our environmental education and youth volunteer programs. Conducting programs here will help us involve more urban youth in conservation efforts and help us communicate that good stewardship is important in cities as well as in the National Forest."
In addition, adds Assel, "Honda's center will be a tremendous tool in helping us educate our OHV volunteers. At one site, we can expose them to five different ecosystems and educate them on environmental issues related to each. It would take days for us to visit such diverse environments out in the field."
For now, the Honda OHV & Environmental Learning Center is a remarkable example of how to merge two apparently diverse interests-off-road training and environmental awareness. And while that's exciting, what's really thrilling is the center's potential in the future.
"This place is in its infancy, the very beginning," Christensen says. "The Honda center is nothing like it will be five years from now. This is fresh, brand-new. So what we're doing now is a work in progress. It's a learning process to get all of this going in one direction, because what we're doing has never been done before. Working with community leaders and environmental educators, we'll change whatever is necessary to keep the concept fresh and viable."
The Honda OHV & Environmental Learning Center is another great example of how Honda has made extraordinary efforts to serve the community. The rider training and environmental education this center provides will help ensure an environmentally sound future for off-highway vehicle recreation.

Health Policy 101 with Drs. Mark Edney and Jim Dupree
On June 4, 2012, Northwestern University hosted a first-of-its kind health policy event for urology residents: Health Policy 101. Dr. Mark Edney, the AUA's 2012-2013 Gallagher Health Policy Scholar, delivered a presentation and facilitated a discussion with more than 20 residents from five different training programs in the greater Chicago area.
2012 Alliance of Specialty Medicine Fly-In
Mark T. Edney, MD
In mid-June, I was asked by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) to testify at the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs hearing on behalf of her bill, S. 3313, the Women Veterans and Other Health Care Improvements Act of 2012. Among other provisions, the bill seeks to establish coverage in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system for advanced reproductive treatment for soldiers who have suffered fertility-impairing injuries. I was privileged to be able to advocate on behalf of these soldiers and a unique class of urology patients. Both my written testimony and the video of the hearing are available to view.
Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule Appears to Soften EHR Reporting of PQRS Measures
As it currently stands through 2013, a practice's ability to report Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) measures to Medicare can be accomplished via a direct reporting function from the practice's electronic health record (EHR) system only if the system vendor has self-nominated their software, and it has been tested and approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
It is the AUA's understanding that many urology practices around the United States have been experiencing a significant shortage of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) product for the treatment of bladder cancer. We understand that this is a critical issue affecting your bladder cancer patients, and the AUA has been in touch with the makers of BCG therapies, as well as the FDA, to gather more information about the situation and provide direction to help you.
We have learned that one maker has temporarily suspended BCG production and will not have supply available until sometime in 2013. To counter the shortage, another manufacturer, Merck, has increased production of its live product, TICE® BCG, and doubled its supply in the U.S. market in order to meet the need.

"Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky
Necromancer, definitely. I love siccing my minions on you while I'm stealing your life.
And in GW2 PvE, my Dual Dagger Necro with minions = god.
Second to that would probably be Ranger. Maybe because it can be usually pretty easy to play and I'm fairly lazy.
What can men do against such reckless hate?
Killing dragons is my shit
Since you asked for class in the title, I'll try to be specific. It really is hard to narrow it down to just one but a few stick out more than others. Out of all the MMOPG's I have played with classes:
1) Vanguard / Commando - SWTOR
2) Ret Paladin - WOW
3) Warden (Solo) - LOTRO
4) Lore Master (Group) - LOTRO
Shaman in EQ 1 is just awesome. Slowing, buffing, de-buffing, dotting, healing and cannying until you thought you go mad, then canni some more
Same class (by name only) was probably my favorite in WoW as well.
There are a lot of fun classes out there though. But these two are the ones that popped into my head first, probably because I played them the longest.
Slacker extraordinaire!
For "traditional" MMOs I'm quite partial to Mages. I like being able to summon/launch unholy f*ck-you powers at something.
For best class ever...Eve Online fleet commander.
Where's the any key?
GW2 Warrior and Mes
Vindictus Sword Lann and Sword Fiona.
"As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days those are now the only two states youll find the world of Tyria."...Guild Wars 2
In RIFT I played a Dominator/Stormcaller. Think evil frost mage. If not that Affiliction Warlock.
um...what if the summoner pk warrior or vampire. or PK among all classes...among all game servers. XD
I just can't imagine what will happen. How crazy thing it will be.
Summoner/mage good at magical attack, endowed with healing skill, controling skill etc.
Vampire or warrior, talented with strong physical attack. um..recently I felt in love playing Eudemons Online. Idk why, but just play it, maybe it's for free to play. XD and with lots of pets you can have. I can't believe that Necromancer will come out. Thats' fucking awesome.
Got to go youtobe and watch more videos.
warlock in WoW, back when fear was not the most nerfed cc of all time and you could actually (gasp!) fear people long enough to dot them up and syphon life....
.....i just loved everything about the Warlock. the whole evil mage that sold it's soul to the dark in order to wield power over demons from hell was just so damn cool.
For me it depends on the game and how each class feels..
GW2 - I like Warrior ( Defensive specced ) and Elementalist
Tera - I like the Slayer
SWToR- I Like the Assassin and Powertech
Aion - Templar and Gladiator
Warhammer was the Marauder and Squig Herder
GW1 - Warrior
RF online - Armor Rider
Tabula Rasa - Guardian
Every game I always find a different class appealing but my all time favorite are Super Tanky Tank classes that hit like pool noodles , Gotta love feeling invincible.
WoW Warlock was a great class to me, and perhaps the most versitile damage dealer I've ever played. You had the option of dishing out massive single target damage, or spread DoTs around, you could fous on crowd control or dps, you could invest in a powerful pet, or make the pet a parenthisis. It was rarely the best at anything, but you could always customize it to suit whatever playstyle you felt like at the time without severely compromizing usefulness.
My all time favorite class in any game however was probably the AC2 Hivekeeper. Terrible game, but great classes over all. Very inventive. The hive keeper was a bout as much of a glass cannon as any class I've ever played, and to make matters worse it did damage through DoTs, but conceptually it was fantastic (you swung a bee-hive around your head unleaching swarms of bees at your foes) and so much fun to play. Once and if you managed to land all your DoTs on someone or something it was game over. Took a lot of skill and a bit of luck to do so though, and constantly kept you on your toes.

Connecting in Real Time
"If you're ever having a bad day, go read some listener mail and it will make you feel better." These are the paraphrased words of my colleague Colleen Scheck. And she's right. Each week we receive inspiring, insightful messages from SOF fans. We do our best to write back. This is one of several ways we interact with you, through words and e-mail, albeit electronically and from a remove.
Lately we've heard that some of you have formed your own discussion groups — online and in real time — that delve into the content of the show. A listener in Arizona recently launched a group that meets each week at a local coffee shop, and she's also getting a conversation going on her blog.
A Quaker listener in southern California is using our Repossessing Virtue series — interviews with people like Rachel Naomi Remen, Joan Chittister, and Parker Palmer — as a platform for discussion with the adult education group at his local Society of Friends. He wrote to us, "…people were grateful for the forum in which to share what was heavy on their hearts."
Salon participants Muna Noor and
Richard Scheele Shane Isaac speak after the event.

We've been taking our own steps to physically gather people together in a tangible space. After Krista interviewed Joshua DuBois at a live event in May, we organized a salon that brought 15 diverse listeners to our headquarters. They spoke with Krista about their reactions to the previous night's conversation and shared about their own lives, concerns, and beliefs. You can watch a video of that event here.
Over the coming year, Krista will be speaking in selected cities across the U.S. as part of a live events series — providing yet another kind of forum where dialogue can happen in real time. As plans for these live events get firmed up, we'll be sure to let you know the details.
All of this brings me to a question: I wonder about the conversations that you may be having in structured and informal settings that we never hear about. Have others started virtual or real-time discussion groups? If so, we'd love to learn more about how these are taking shape. Also, is there anything we can do to help — or ways you can support each other?

BLM and Forest Service Approve Versatile 170-Mile Transmission Line for Southern Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah – Officials from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service have signed Records of Decision (ROD) approving a right-of-way across federal land for the Sigurd to Red Butte No. 2 – 345-Kilovolt Transmission Line Project. In response to anticipated load growth in southwestern Utah, the project will provide approximately 600 megawatts of electrical capacity—enough energy to power 584,000 American homes—upon completion. In support of the Obama administration's all-of-the-above energy strategy, this transmission line could provide clean wind energy projects in Utah with transmission capacity in the future. Through construction, the project is also expected to boost the local economy by creating up to 255 jobs.
The signing of the RODs for this project will allow Pacificorp (doing business as Rocky Mountain Power) to construct, operate, and maintain a single-circuit, alternating-current, 345-kV overhead transmission line. The transmission line would run approximately 170 miles from the existing Sigurd Substation near Richfield, Utah to the existing Red Butte Substation in Washington County, Utah. The requested right-of-way width for construction and operation of the line on Federal lands is 150 feet.
Approximately 113 miles (67 percent) of the transmission line route would be located on lands administered by three BLM-Utah field offices (Cedar City, Fillmore, and Richfield Field Offices) and two national forests (Dixie and Fishlake National Forest), which required that Pacificorp request a right-of-way from both the BLM and the Forest Service. The Forest Service will issue a special use permit for the project and will sign a separate ROD. The RODs were prepared after a 30-day waiting period on the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which was released on October 5, 2012.
"This transmission project will strengthen Utah's energy corridors and improve reliability," said BLM Utah State Director Juan Palma. "The BLM collaborated with federal and state partners and worked closely with tribal and local governments and communities to complete the environmental analysis for this project, and we are confident that the proposed action will boost our economy and help meet our nation's growing demand for electricity."
"The completion of the Sigurd to Red Butte project environmental analysis is an important contribution from federal lands," said Fishlake Forest Supervisor Allen Rowley. "This project will provide vitally needed increased transmission capacity, jobs during construction, and the opportunity to tap into renewable power sources."
The BLM was the designated lead Federal agency for preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as defined in 40 CFR 1501.5. Agencies with legal jurisdiction or special expertise were invited to participate as cooperating agencies in preparation of the EIS. The following entities participated as cooperating agencies: the Forest Service; the United States Army Corps of Engineers; the State of Utah; Millard, Sevier, Beaver, Iron, and Washington Counties, Utah; and the cities of St. George and Enterprise, Utah. As a result of a collaborative process among these federal, state, and local governments and Pacificorp, best management practices will be implemented over the course of this project.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

WA state lawmakers to discuss gas tax increase
Washington state lawmakers plan to discuss a gas tax increase tomorrow that would cost drivers an extra 10 cents per gallon at the pump.
The proposed gas tax hike will be part of a transportation revenue package, put forward by the House Transportation Committee.
Some drivers in our area say many roads are in desperate need of repair, so they would support the gas tax increase.
But others say gas is already too expensive.
"I think we're taxed enough already" said Doug Burnett, West Richland resident.
"I have to commute, my son goes to school out here at Liberty Christian, and commuting from the other side of Kennewick to Richland, gas is already expensive enough for me" said Jared Evans, Kennewick resident.
"I do know that the roads are not that great, but they do try to keep up with patching it and everything like that" said Connie White, Burbank resident.
"They need some more help?" we asked.
"Yeah" said White.
The tax hike proposal would require a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate, or it would need to be passed by a public vote to become law.

Colorado Community Media asked three identical questions of candidates for public office in Centennial. Below are their answers.
Monika Bromley
Monika Bromley is running for mayor against incumbent Cathy Noon. Born in Torrance, Calif., Bromley is a part-time yoga instructor and mother of five. She has an associate's degree in paralegal studies and is the secretary of the Chaparral HOA. Before becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom, Bromley worked as a paralegal and also as an executive assistant for a mining company and law firm. This is her first run for political office. She has lived in Centennial for 13 years.
Why are you seeking this office?
I am not seeking office for myself. I have no political aspirations. I am doing this for the citizens of Centennial. I aspire to be the voice of the citizens. I got involved because I had concerns regarding the path our city was heading. I wanted to make sure we were sticking to the core values this city was built on. I am proud to live here and want others to feel the same way.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I am the best person, because I AM NOT A POLITICIAN. I am here as a citizen to help keep our city on the right track. I will bring honesty, integrity and accessibility to the office of mayor. I will bring fresh ears, eyes and ideas into the office. I will not be keeping track of all my accomplishments, as that is not who I am. I am your citizen mayor. I hope my impact will benefit our current citizens and generations to come.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
I think the most important issue facing Centennial is "the feeling of expansion." The city itself is big, but the government itself should remain small. That means keeping spending to a minimum, focus on the necessary and what benefits the citizens. Keep ordinances and regulations to a minimum, again, only what benefits the citizens. Have accessibility and excellent communication within the city council and citizens. We need to keep the citizens informed of what is going on and stay connected. BIG government doesn't always mean size, it means the focus of that said government and its inaccessibility.
Cathy Noon
Cathy Noon, who describes herself as a "lifelong community volunteer and organizer," was elected Centennial's mayor in 2009. Married with two children, Noon is running for re-election against Monika Bromley. Noon and her husband, Jim, own Centennial Container Inc., a packaging company, and Recycle Care, a recycling company for paper, plastic and metal waste products. Noon also works for Community Resource Services managing water and metropolitan districts. She studied theater at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado at Denver and has lived in Centennial for 14 years.
Why are you seeking this office?
It has been an honor to serve as mayor for the past four years. Centennial has many successes to be proud of — healthy finances, beautiful Center Park, awards and acknowledgments for innovation and as Money magazine's 47th best place to live in the U.S. I plan to continue to use my business, civic, and community experience to make Centennial the best city to live, work and play. What Centennial does, it should do well. City council will lose four members due to term limits so it is important to have experience, knowledge and continuity in the office of mayor.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I've served Centennial for 14 years in elected and non-elected positions. While I've been mayor, the city has hired a new city manager who shares Centennial's belief in smart government; realigned staff and contracting to increase efficiency; and extended our Public Works contract for five years at a savings of $1 million while increasing service levels such as an additional 93 miles of routine snow plowing in Centennial. I promoted the formation of the Centennial Senior Commission and Business Technical Advisory Group to increase input to city policy-making. I'm dedicated to looking out for your interests and our city.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
Centennial may only be 13 years old, but its places and people average a bit closer to middle age. Why should that matter? Well, with age comes more upkeep and the need to plan for the future. To ensure that Centennial continues to thrive, we need to take care of roads that need more maintenance, keep our neighborhoods attractive to new buyers, retain and attract businesses with good jobs and ensure those who want to age in place have that ability. While we may anticipate changes in our city, outreach and partnerships with the community, staff research and expertise, and innovation through our contractors can provide us with the vision and tools to keep Centennial in the lead. A vibrant city doesn't just happen — it is the result of good planning and hard work. I'm ready to get to work!
City Council, District 1:
Mike Hanbery
Mike Hanbery, a Southglenn resident and self-described "community advocate," is running for the District 1 council seat currently held by Rick Dindinger, who is term-limited. His opponent in the race is Kathy Turley. Hanbery is the director of New Media Strategies at Webolutions, a Greenwood Village-based marketing agency. Married with two children, he has a bachelor's degree in mass communication and political science from the University of Denver and an MBA from DU's Daniels College of Business. He has lived in Centennial for 10 years. This is his first run for political office.
Why are you seeking this office?
Economic development and communications opportunities fitting my professional experience coincide with Rick Dindinger's term limitation. I've earned the confidence of the people who know how the work of the city gets done. I've been endorsed by current Centennial District 1 City Council representatives Rick Dindinger (R) and Vorry Moon (D), current District 4 Centennial City Council representative Ron Weidmann (R), former District 3 Centennial City Council representative Andrea Suhaka (I), Centennial Planning and Zoning Commissioner Michael Sutherland (R) and Centennial founder John Brackney (R). I want to maintain the city's momentum while keeping true to our model of limited government.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I am the only candidate with positions and plans to help District 1 neighborhoods maintain their character and quality of life through the development we will see over the next four years, including the Littleton Village (Marathon Oil) property; and who has met with Centennial's director of economic development, past director of community development, current city manager and city attorney about issues facing the city. I'll improve the city's relationships. Endorsements by Littleton City Council representatives Phil Cernanec (R) and Bruce Stahlman (R) show I understand the importance of working with our neighbors. I'll proactively communicate with my fellow residents.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
We face many challenges. Lacking in leadership, our Senior Commission is in danger of losing funding. Improvement is needed in road repair, traffic management and snow removal. Our current garbage collection system places undue stress on our neighborhood streets, in addition to other problems. These issues can be resolved logically, almost mathematically. A more insidious, overarching problem is our city's lack of a shared identity. Centennial is young, geographically broad and fragmented. Many in the western part of town still habitually put "Littleton" on our return addresses. The city's map east of I-25 is severely fragmented. Forty-seven percent of Centennial residents did not live here when the city was founded. We must become the place to which their children wish to return to raise their families. Let's bring continuity to our city. When our residents proudly declare they are "from Centennial," our city will be even safer and more livable.
Kathy Turley
A self-described "seniors' advocate" and community activist who served on Centennial's Home Rule Charter Commission, Kathy Turley is running against Mike Hanbery for the District 1 seat currently held by Rick Dindinger, who is term-limited. The longtime Forest Park resident, maried and mother of four, ran unsuccessfully for Centennial City Council 12 years ago when the city was first incorporated. She has a bachelor's degree in sociology from San Jose State and is a former sales executive for Kaiser Permanente. She has lived in Centennial for 41 years.
Why are you running for city council?
I am proud to be a citizen of the City of Centennial! For over 35 years we have lived in District 1, the oldest part of the city and the most unique, in terms of its historical context. I will represent District 1 with a mission to protect, preserve and maintain our neighborhoods in the western end of Centennial. As we continue on the journey, growing our city, encouraging commercial and retail business, I want to join with my fellow councilmen in dedicating our time and expertise towards the success and future of the City of Centennial.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I have recently retired and am able to devote the time necessary to be a full-time city councilman. My experience of 40 years in the public/private sector is a perfect prerequisite for this job. My vision for Centennial is fiscal responsibility, being a good steward with taxpayers' dollars and less government is good government, providing just the basics of public safety, public works and economic development. Lastly, to keep Centennial as a suburb, I want to support the Parks and Recreation Districts whose responsibility is to maintain Centennial's beauty where we live, work and play.
What is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
If elected to the city council, I will focus on three areas: First, our identity! It is not a Center Park, nor a grandiose building. It is not your normal city! Our signature is the founding fathers' original intent, "the virtual city." Second, we need to protect our commercially zoned properties, one of our most precious commodities. Let's explore "economic gardening" and create a symbiotic mix of a myriad of different, unique businesses. Supporting our pro-business initiatives and funding future road projects and transportation maintenance needs should be a high priority. Third, we need to be making every effort to partner with the county, working together with a common goal. It is our fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers who are financially supporting our efforts to keep this city the most efficient, safest and most beautiful city in the state of Colorado.
City Council, District 2:
Theresa Martens
Theresa Martens is a former special education teacher in the Littleton and Englewood school districts. Earlier in her career, she operated a private preschool. The married mother of three is vying for the District 2 council seat held by Sue Bosier, who is term-limited. Martens' opponent in the race is Doris Truhlar. Martens has a bachelor's degree in behavioral science from Metropolitan State College. This is her first run for political office. She has lived in Centennial for 27 years.
Why are you seeking this office?
I want to be sure we are creating an environment that attracts housing and career opportunities to reflect the needs of our college graduate and our senior populations. As we grow we need to prevent our taxes and government from growing as well, ensure our streets and parks stay safe, and guarantee that our citizens have representation, even if all I can do is listen or provide them with a contact. I will look ahead and plan smart with the end in mind to protect your tax dollars. I will not be the candidate of "I don't care."
What makes you the best person for the job?
I have lived, worked, and raised a family in the Centennial area for the last 27 years. I am passionate about serving the people of Centennial and continuing the vision of a city that people are proud to live in. As a special education teacher I have managed adult teams, am trained in conflict resolution and in planning for the needs of the whole child and believe that these are skills that will benefit the city when working with the other eight council members to provide the best solutions for the diverse needs of the people and businesses of Centennial.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
I believe the most important issue facing Centennial is managing the city's growth and expansion against the growth of costs and the size of government. Many of our streets need repairs while we also have some major expansion issues that are looming. We need to attract new businesses to Centennial with incentives like fewer regulations. We have fiber optics in the ground to make our city more efficient and need to plan with eyes on the future. Technology will play a big part in our efficiency. Forward thinking, creativity, and collaboration will be needed. I have the technology-based background to help facilitate these activities and can help lead the discussions for our city's technological future. I will advocate for the everyday citizen, pick up the phone when they call, and work with the council members to arrive at sensible solutions. Vote for me, Theresa Martens, and I will represent you.
Doris Truhlar
First-time candidate Doris Truhlar is vying for the council seat in District 2 that is currently held by Sue Bosier, who is term-limited. Her opponent in the race is Theresa Martens. Together with her husband, Truhlar runs a Centennial-based law firm. Earlier in her career, the mother of four and Palos Verdes resident worked as a reporter and editor. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri and master's and law degrees from the University of Denver. She has lived in Centennial for 30 years.
Why are you seeking this office?
One, serving on council would continue my record of public service, reflected in projects such as the Arapahoe Pro Se Clinic, which I founded 15 years ago (in which I still serve as a volunteer). That program provides free legal services for low-income Arapahoe County residents. Two, I care about Centennial and want to work to ensure its future. Three, it would be interesting. I relish the opportunity, for example, to study and apply my skills to the city's needs in law enforcement, street maintenance, and urban planning. Four, I believe my background is uniquely suited to serving.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I am hard-working, energetic, intelligent, a good listener, and well versed in local government issues. Prior to attending law school (University of Denver), I was a newspaper reporter, and had the opportunity to learn about municipal government. I am a proven leader, having had numerous leadership roles in the legal community (including president of two large associations). Not only have I lived in Centennial for 30 years, but I also own a business (Truhlar and Truhlar, LLP) located in Centennial and District 2. I truly care about the best interest of my city and my district.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
The streets are our lifeline — we all use them and well-maintained streets attract business and make our neighborhoods safer. I believe that fixing the streets that are in disrepair without raising taxes is an issue of utmost importance. The streets that need the most attention are in the older parts of Centennial and some of them actually need replacing, rather than just a new layer of asphalt. Having good streets helps us develop an identity that includes our designation (eight years in a row) as the "safest city in Colorado" and one of the best places to live in the country. I will approach this issue by making streets my "theme" and pushing to replace and repair those streets in need. This will be my continuing commitment and a theme of mine during my term as a councilwoman.
City Council, District 4:
John Tate
John Allen "Jack" Tate, a Piney Creek resident, is running for the District 4 council seat currently held by term-limited Ron Weidmann. Tate has two opponents in the race, William Turner and Charles Whelan. The Nashville native is married with three children and has lived in Centennial for eight years. Tate has a bachelor's degree in engineering from Duke University and an MBA from the University of Colorado-Denver. He is general manager and vice president overseeing a strategic business unit for Littleton-based Investive Building Projects. This is his first run for political office.
Why are you seeking this office?
Pretty simple: an opportunity to give back what I have been fortunate to receive. I love how Centennial is a great place to have a family and enjoy all those intangible benefits of being in a nice community. I have a strong appreciation for how the city runs like a business, with an attitude of customer satisfaction, fiscal responsibility, and investment for the long term. I see an opportunity for me to learn up close how better government works, yet provide my experience and knowledge: reflections based on lessons learned from working with various municipalities, school districts, and state agencies.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I respect my opponents, as they are longtime, valued contributors to the city. As a candidate, I merely have some unique skills to bring to the city as a productive member of council: experience related to analyzing decisions financially, contract negotiations, project management, and investing in infrastructure. More importantly, business associates attest that I possess an evenness and fairness in my interactions. I engage issues with an intellectual curiosity. Working with a CFO one day and then a tradesman the next has inculcated a willingness to interact and listen: a realization that the best ideas often come from the room.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
The most important issue is working toward what is important over the long term while we address what is urgent now. The city must continue to optimize infrastructure, such as important road expansions, high-quality Internet connectivity, and streamlined customer service functions. In 20 years, the city will be larger, with pressure for expanded and/or enhanced services, thus straining revenue. Further, these pressures will expose fault lines along the city's lack of cohesion and some citizens' perception of value. It is an issue of a perpetual fiscal stewardship. My approach is a long view, which emphasizes support for creating, attracting and retaining businesses, and builds upon the city's success factors in promoting an attractive ecosystem for economic development. This requires that city stakeholders understand what we have to offer and be able to present that in an attractive way. I envision an effort to fulfill a tagline for the City of Centennial: The City of Success.
William Turner
William Turner is running for the District 4 council seat currently held by Ron Weidmann, who is term-limited. His opponents in the race are John Allen Tate and Charles Whelan. Turner, an Ohio native, served in the Navy for 21 years and is married with four children. A program security manager for Ball Aerospace, he has a bachelor's degree in behavioral science from Metro State College and is currently pursuing a master's degree in education from Colorado State University. Turner has lived in Centennial for three years. This is his first run for political office.
Why are you seeking this office?
Running for Centennial City Council affords me the opportunity to voice the concerns and represent the interest of the citizens of Centennial and the members of my community. Participating in the decision-making process to assist in securing and maintaining Centennial's competitive advantage through fiscal accountability is very important to me.
What makes you the best person for the job?
One has to be willing to listen effectively to the concerns of the citizens and to put in that extra time and research to achieve positive results. Not being afraid to ask the hard questions nor make the difficult decisions. I'm just that person who is willing to go that extra mile to work hard for the citizens of Centennial and bring a fresh perspective to the table.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
A difficult process is determining one single issue facing Centennial as the most important. Members of city council must first be able to prioritize these matters based on budgetary constraints and at the same time weigh the concerns of its citizens equally. When elected, I would work with other members of council along with the city manager to develop that prioritization focusing on maintaining the city's infrastructure (roads, bridges and transportation); new business development and clientele and foster in the city's demographics.
Charles Whelan
Charles J. "CJ" Whelan is an entrepreneur and small business owner running for the District 4 council seat currently held by Ron Weidmann, who is term-limited. His opponents in the race are William Turner and John Allen Tate. Whelan, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the co-founder and chief technical officer of the teleconferencing services company Adigo. He is maried and has lived in Centennial for 29 years.
Why are you seeking this office?
I deeply believe that government at a local level is what makes the most difference in our day-to-day lives. However, it is the level of government we often think about the least. Public safety (fire protection, police), public works (snow removal, road repair), and planning (what is going to be built next door) are examples of what touches us every day. We just expect these services to be there, and that only happens when a municipality is working well. I want to see Centennial continue to provide its citizens great service that is smart, impactful, and cost effective.
What makes you the best person for the job?
I know Centennial well and have worked hard to make it a great place to live: four years on Centennial's Budget Committee (I know our city's finances inside and out); president of Cunningham Fire Protection District (a publicly elected position); many years as a director on my HOA, and more. I am a longtime small business owner and entrepreneur (www.adigo.com). Other than my college years, I have been a resident of what is now Centennial since 1979. I graduated from Smoky Hill High School and have two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), electrical engineering and business.
What do you think is the most important issue facing Centennial and how will you approach it if elected?
The most important issue facing Centennial is our need for continued infrastructure maintenance and development while maintaining financial discipline. As a member of Centennial's Budget Committee, I can say with authority that the city's finances are relatively healthy. However, we have a significant amount of deferred maintenance (e.g. fixing pot-holes). 2013 was the first year in quite some time that the city's annual road maintenance program was "fully funded." Additionally, there are significant infrastructure improvements needed throughout the city. A great example is the need to widen Arapahoe Road between Waco and Himalaya (i.e. the two-lane section just west of Grandview High.) That stretch of road is dangerous for us and our children, and its widening is long overdue, but it will not be cheap. The only way to get all of this done is to be smart, efficient, and maintain a strong financial discipline with our precious tax dollars.

Sensei addresses the question posed by the title by mentioning that on Google's new "auto-complete" function, Buddhism is the only major religion correlated with happiness. "Why are Buddhists so happy? The answer, she suggests, lies in the realization of a balanced mind – a mind that can return to the "zero point," where all things are possible and happiness and wonder naturally arise. Later, she talks about the problem of greed in our society, mentioning some statistics demonstrating the great disparity between rich and poor in the U.S. Meditation, she suggests, can begin to transform the way we look at the world, the way we look at our habits, and the way we look at "possessions."

How long a shirt lasts also has to do with how often you wear the shirt and how well you take care of it. If you wear a shirt once every 2 weeks, it should last longer than if you were it every week. Avoiding starch and fabric softeners will help it last longer as well.

Utah Back Country Pilots Fall Fly In was held at the Huntington Airport on Oct. 1-3. The weather was clear, and dry with calm winds and flying weather could not have been better for this event. Commissioner Gary Kofford welcomed everyone and explained what had been done to improve the airport. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks explained the things airport manager Leon Defriez and the Civil Air Patrol Cadets were doing to make the pilots and associates visit in Emery County a happy one.
The Back Country Pilots Association President Steve Durtschi from Centerville, Utah thanked the Emery County Commissioners Gary Kofford, and Jeff Horrocks along with the airport manager Leon Defriez, for the hospitality and the great airport facilities. Leon Defriez and Huntington Aviation have a contract to manage the airport. Durtschi a spokesman for Back County Pilots Association said, Emery County Commissioners and the Huntington Airport Management have gone all out to make them feel welcome.
Durtschi said, "The BCPA organization has a three fold mission statement: we want to promote safety, we want to protect the airstrips in Utah to make sure they are available to pilots everywhere, and to promote 'leave no trace in the environment'. The Back Country Pilots fly in to little dirt landing strips all over the West and may spend a few days or a few minutes, have a picnic or just look at the scenery. There are three landing strips along the San Rafael Swell that some of these pilots like to fly in and out of."
Emery County and the Huntington Airport provided a dinner and a breakfast Oct 1-2, in the main hanger, to the public and pilots. A tour van driven by Linda Hansen was provided for any pilots and associates that would like to visit the Castle Dale Dinosaur and Natural History Museum, and the Wedge Overlook. Hansen enjoys this work, because after driving the tour she often gets to ride in a plane out over the Wedge Overlook.
A skeet shooting range was set up on the edge of Huntington Air Field with free shells and clays overseen by Bert Oman.
Many planes flew into Huntington Airport Oct. 1 to participate in this event. It was estimated that 55-60 planes flew into the airport. They came from as far away as Bountiful, Delta, Salt Lake City, Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona. Some planes that did not land flew over the airfield just to see the festivities. By noon Saturday there were 23 planes on the ground and planes in the air. Three planes flew in and then went on to another activity at Moab. Saturday night about 18 tents for sleeping were set up on the edge of the parking area for planes. Some of the pilots stayed in local motels using the courtesy car.
Several families from Emery County came to take advantage of the Experimental Aircraft Association's offer to children ages 8-17 of a free ride in an airplane. Those that flew were taken on a 30 minute ride out over Cleveland area the Dinosaur Quarry and back to the airport.
The Experimental Aircraft Association is an international organization of aviation enthusiasts based in Oshkosh, Wis. Since its inception it has grown internationally with more than 160,000 members and about 1,000 chapters worldwide.
The EAA also sponsors the Young Eagles program, which was started in 1992 with the aim of giving one million children an airplane ride by Dec. 17 2003, the Centennial of Flight of the Wright brothers. The program reached that goal, and has continued, approaching 1.5 million rides by late 2009. The purpose is to give children a chance to see what it is like to fly in an airplane.
One of those families that came to ride in the planes was the Lee Moss family from Orangeville. The Moss family heard about this Fly In from their good friends Rob and Cindy Midgley. Staci Moss said, she was excited to see all the incredible changes that Leon Defrieze and the county had made at the airport. This was a great opportunity for her children to get exposure to what flying might be like.
Carl Jacobson invited by Leon Defriez brought a group of 11 young men from Castle Dale Second ward to have rides in the airplanes.
Rob Midgely an Airline Pilot for Sky West, came with his family to assist Leon Defriez during this event. Rob was directing two groups of young people with him. The Civil Air Patrol Cadets, part of the Castle Valley Wing out of Price, were there to help park airplanes and provide security for the planes. The other group was the Experimental Aircraft Association, that arrived with planes to offer free rides to children (called Young Eagles) ages 8-17 with parents signing a consent form. Many members of the EAA Salt Lake Chapter were from Sky Park Airport in Bountiful. Every year in August the Experimental Aircraft Association has a huge gathering of planes and events at the Wisconsin Oshkosh airport where planes of all types and descriptions are on display. Mike Guarino from Bountiful, the EAA Young Eagle Coordinator after discussing the attributes of three home built planes on the Huntington tarmac said, Oshkosh is the Mecca of general aviation pilots.
The Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary to the US Air Force. The CAP Castle Valley Composite Squadron members, dressed in military uniforms, directed aircraft traffic at Huntington Airport throughout the event. In the Castle Valley Composite Squadron there are 25 cadets.
Second Lieutenants Gary Wadley and his wife Alice work with the CAP cadets. When flying Gary Wadley is an observer. Alice said, Cadets can join at age 12 and stay in the program until age 21. While in the program the cadets get five flights in powered aircraft and five glider flights. In addition to the flights the cadets receive aeronautical training. If they stay with the program when they graduate from high school with good grades they can apply to the Air Force Academy.
The Civil Air Patrol, Castle Valley Composite Squadron uses a Cessna 182 with a turbo charged 230 horse power engine for search and rescue.
Roger Williams a pilot from Cheyenne, Wyo., Joanie Diamond a pilot from Frankenmuth, Mich., and Mike Niece a pilot from Frankenmuth, Mich. were seen discussing the best route back to Michigan by way of Wyoming. Joanie said, that it took four days to fly here due to head winds, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming their plane was only going 50 miles per hour ground speed. They hope to catch a tail wind going back Saturday morning. Joanie was flying a yellow and white Piper that she had rebuilt after it was damaged in a windstorm. She said it was a four year rebuilding project. Joanie and Frank said they really enjoyed the spectacular views in Emery County.
Jim Terry and Sabrina Terry from Glenwood Springs, Colo. flew into the Huntington Airport in a silver and green Cessna 180. It took about 1.5 hours to fly from Glenwood Springs to Huntington.
Norm Castle is 71 years old standing by his brown and white Cessna 182. He said he started flying at about age 40, and he has a brother that got his own pilot license to fly at age 68 and is enjoying every minute of it.
Steve Burgess from Tooele flew to the Huntington airport in a Piper Cherokee 180 which was a low wing red and white monoplane. He liked the open space around the airport.
Mark Leloudis from Bountiful, a member of the experimental aircraft Association said this is a beautiful area with plenty of space, not many people are arguing about every inch of their property like in Bountiful. This was his first time to visit Huntington airport.
Erin Ison the Utah Valley University Aviation Student Representative and dispatcher for Utah Valley University Aviation Science Program in Provo, pointed out that the University has education available online from your home or on the campus. The plane he flew into Huntington Airport was a white and black Diamond DA40, this plane is used for training pilots in modern flying technology. UVU's Aviation Science Program has 170 employees and more than 2,000 degree-seeking students learning locally or online throughout the world. The University has three different types of aircraft for students to fly.
Marqui Moss after returning from her ride in a plane said, it was very exciting. It was so much fun as we flew out over the desert and Huntington. I love flying, the most exciting part was when the plane rapidly lost altitude and for a moment I was weightless, floating in the air, held down by the seat belt. Fifty-five young people took advantage of the chance to fly in a plane Oct. 2.
Everyone seemed to have a great time at this event, looking at planes, talking to pilots, listening to flying stories and watching planes take off and land.

Big Chief's College Football Diary: Who might slip & fall
by Deke Bellavia, email@example.com, @dekebigchief
posted Nov 20 2013 9:37AM
Call it a diary if you want, but my notes are written on napkins, sticky squares, in my phone and iPad, and I oftentimes write things down on my hands. But, what I write down is major. Folks, I'd like to think I've seen some of the best football at all levels.
If I had to choose which level I would watch, if I had only one to view...that question would be the hardest ever for me. I love high school, college and professional football; each one is special in its own right. But, there is something awesome about what goes down on Saturday afternoons.
This past weekend Jumbo (Steve Korte) and I went to an historic game...where the SLU Lions won their first conference title in 52 years. The Lions knocked off the powerful Sam Houston State Bearkats 34-21. It was a very good game with an even better atmosphere.
While at the Lions game, I was able to keep up with other games on my mobile devices and by way of the television monitors in the SLU stadium. Man, what a day for CFB (college football). So, here are some of the high points from my football diary this past weekend.
Is this hoops or football?
How about this? Last year the U won the ACC basketball title. And this season the Duke Blue Devils could very well play for the ACC Title in football. Is this right? How does that happen? Well, Coach David Cutcliff, who is now without question a lead candidate for coach of the year, can lead the Duke Blue Devils to the ACC title game, if they win their last two games against Wake Forest and UNC. The FSU Seminoles will be waiting in the ACC title game.
The Devilish Blue Guys are now 8-2, ranked in the Top 25 and I'm not talking about Coach K and his team!
He loves L.A. & Louisiana too!
Out West, give it up for a man who is not taking for granted a second chance. The late great Luther Vandross once sang, "love is better the second time around." Well, second chances sometimes produce better outcomes and results.
After a disappointing stint in Oxford as the Ole Miss Rebels head football coach, Ed Ogeron, is now in a position to become the full time head coach of the USC Trojans. One of the greatest programs in all of sports needed a breath of fresh air. They got one in Coach O.
All the hype about who the next coach of the mighty USC program will be could be just that... hype. If interim Coach Ed "BaeBae" Ogeron continues to win, he will be hard pressed not to have that interim tag removed and replaced with just plain Head Coach.
Since taking over in early October, Ogeron has guided the Trojans to a 5-1 mark with their only loss a 14-10 setback to Notre Dame. The Trojans just knocked off #5 Stanford 20-17, and now if they win out, can land in the Pac 12 Title game.
What USC A.D. Pat Haden knows is that the Trojans love their coach and if Ogeron stays, look for him to land one of the best recruiting classes in the Pac 12. He could very well pull off a few big nationally ranked players too. So I hear!
Right place right time for Ricardo
No one ever would have thought a team that lost their last 10 conference games going into the season could win the SEC...did they? Before the start of the 2013 CFB season, the Auburn Tigers were riding a 10 game SEC losing streak including a 0-8 SEC mark last year.
This past Saturday in the deep South's oldest rivalry, the Tigers almost had their ruby slipper taken off. But in the Nick Marshall of time, Auburn remained alive. QB Nick Marshall threw up a prayer on fourth and 18. That prayer was answered after two Georgia defenders tried to make a play on the football.The ball was tipped and low and behold WR Ricardo Louis trailed the play only to catch the tip and take the ball in for a 73 yard reception.
The prayer on the plains has the Tigers in position to host one of the biggest games ever between Auburn and that other team from the same state. Man oh man, what a game that one should be.
Slip and fall?
Well, for some two teams it's all about a few more wins. For others they must win and hope someone slips and falls. The #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide has two possibly three more games...and so do the FSU Seminoles. Simply put, if they win out, they'll play for the final BCS Title.Should one of them slip up, the door would open up. But, which team walks through that opened door remains unclear.
Ohio State is facing the reality that they could win 25 straight games and not play for the National Title.
If the high powered Baylor Bears run the table, could they be the team that sneaks in the title game, should either Bama or Florida State slip up? And, what if it comes down to a few one-loss teams? What about a 12-1 SEC Title winning Auburn team? Or, what about a Big 12 one-loss Oklahoma State team?
Hang on, college football lovers. It's 'bout to get real up in here!

Very nice work shoe
"Stylish, unboring work shoe. I tend to favor Areosoles over Naturalizer. Both brands cost about the same but I think these look better. I'd have bought more but they didn't have my size in the other colors. I was thrilled to get them in the tan. Great all-year-round shoe! (if you carry your shoes to change into in the winter, that is. :)"

* Miliki Sound and Shango on vinyl LP *
1. Jo Jolo / 2. Boleya Koya / 3. Iya La Jole / 4. Ijo Olomo / 5. Elelzy / 6. Gyinmi Komo
Originally released in 1975 via Sonny Roberts' Orbitone label, Miliki Sound is an album by Peter King, Nigeria's most talented multi-instrumentalist, highlighting his unique blend of Afrobeat, Highlife, jazz and funk. As King remarked in later life Miliki Sound was his attempt to escape being tied down following a string of albums for the label by delving into his own Afrojazz fusion. Making little impact in his homeland, the album was particularly well received in America and Europe, increasing King's popularity.
As with his other releases from the same period, Miliki Sound was entirely composed, written and arranged by King. Upbeat and funky the album's six tracks feature plenty of impressive displays of King's saxophone skills, the instrument for which he was perhaps best known, alongside a talent for arrangement that plays the funk of the groove against the accompanying instruments and Nigerian chants. You only need to listen to Jo Jolo, Ijo Olomo or Gyinmi Komo to see why King's Afrojazz approach, a blend of modern jazz with highlife as the basis, has proven so popular and continues to endure for over three decades.
1. Shango / 2. Prisoner Of Law / 3. Mr Lonely Wolf / 4. Freedom Dance / 5. Go Go's Feast / 6. Mystery Tour / 7. Now I'm A Man / 8. Watusi
Shango by Peter King is an album loaded with history. Originally recorded in 1974 in a Camden studio session funded by money from a TV soundtrack recorded by King a few years earlier, it remained unreleased for close to 30 years despite King releasing five albums in the years that followed, the band touring America, Europe and Japan and King establishing himself in the West as one of Nigeria's finest multiinstrumentalist. It finally saw release in 2002 by which point King had returned to his homeland to found the Peter King College of Music and continue his lifelong dedication to seeing "how far I can go with Highlife fusion."
Musically the album is equally loaded. Headed by King, who wrote and played saxophone and flute, the band included David Williams on bass, Paul Edoh on congas, James Menin on drums, Arthur Simon on guitar, Mike Falana on trumpet and Humphrey Okoh-Turner on alto sax. Together they fused funk, jazz and afrobeat and added hard-hitting vocal messages including calls for freedom in Africa – album closer Watusi is about the struggle for freedom and democracy in Angola during the 1970s – and references to African history and the Yoruba religion. Shango is the foremost Yoruba deity, god of thunder and storms, and on this album his energy is clearly channelled into the horn lines and devastating grooves found throughout the eight tracks.
Having stood the test of time for close to 40 years, Shango is a lost classic and one of King's finest, most refined works. It is being re-issued by Mr Bongo's Classic African Recordings series.
Fully reproduced original artwork and heavyweight vinyl.

The Perfect Color
"I purchased these shoes in the Navy color and absolutely love them! I didnt realize how hard it was to find the perfect Navy shoe. Some were too light or too shiny, etc. I literally searched far and high but glad I came across this shoe. You will not regret buying these shoes. I will most likely will buy them in black as well."

Cute, comfy pumps
"I got these pumps in nude/black. I wear beautiful pumps even when they hurt, but these are really comfortable. I felt like I didn't even have to break them in because as soon as I slipped my feet in, it fit like a glove and felt great. No plastic-y ouch by your Achilles' heel. These are great for your work days with a modest amount of walking (I don't care what anyone says. Wearing pumps on a workday where you have to walk all day is just not easy for me.)."

That bride looks a little upstaged at the end of video- she should be the star of her own wedding. Trouble in the future for this couple.ReplyCancel
exactly msgirlReplyCancel
That mom had it going!ReplyCancel
@peggy- no creepier than a father and daughter recording it together.ReplyCancel
Gross!! New mother-in-law upstaging the bride at the wedding?? Tasteless. Mom with her mouth open like ready for a bj was very gross too. One sedate spin around the floor is OK, but the ex-hoofer mom showing what's left of her stuff with the groom is disgusting.ReplyCancel
"Mother-son wedding dance?" Since when is the wedding about the groom's MOTHER? I've seen choreographed bride and groom dances (and those stupid "wedding party down the aisle" dances), but never anything like this.
That poor bride – she's in for it. This mama's gonna make sure she's always number 1 with her boy.ReplyCancel
The mother owns a dance studio, she taught her son to dance and with the bride, planned the dance with her son. ( I looked it up, I wondered why she was so stiff during " unforgettable" only to shake it down later..) To those that say, uh oh, she is a big influence better to know then to find out its going on behind the scene.
Besides that dance is supposed to be the about their relationship prior to the bride, and it looked like they had fun, knew knew how to work hard and fast, and knew how to Wow an audience.
I'd marry him…
Me too!! I was shocked it was Las vegasReplyCancel

Bread Cookbooks
If no-knead bread is the easiest and anadama bread is the most New Englandy, then sourdough is likely the oldest — probably the first leavened bread, created in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
Cultured yeast is a reliable leavening agent, but sourdough starters (a.k.a. "mothers") offer a distinctive, tangy flavor, owing to the presence of lactic acid, here produced by the lactobacilli in buttermilk.
Many commercial flours contain enzyme-laden malt powder, which breaks starch down into sugar (making it more readily available to the yeast for fermentation), but this recipe uses ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a boost.
Sourdough can be confusing stuff, so we turned to Food Network chef Alton Brown for a solid recipe we could be proud of. (By the way, I keep the "proto-dough" in the fridge for years, literally — it's very difficult to kill.)
