Happy Leap Day! It only comes once every four years so enjoy it. Um, leap around or something.
Only one book for the 5th Canadian Book Challenge was read and reviewed this month, Roughing It In the Bush. I planned on reading way more but this one book nearly ended my reading life. I'm now 7/13.
I ended the month with 2 more books for the Audio Book Challenge: Entwined by Heather Dixon and I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella. That's 4 out of 12 and it's only 2 months into the challenge. Woot!
I crossed off one book for the Gender in SFF Challenge, The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and I'm half through Herland right now. So...I need to find 4 more for this one. Oh and now there is a Goodreads group.
I'm so glad I put Roughing It In the Bush into my Genteel Ladies in Foreign Lands challenge because, Lord, that book needed to be counted twice. I hope the other books on my list go a bit better.
Here's hoping March will be a better reading month!

Photographic Memory
The Album In The Age Of Photography
Availability: In stock
Photographic Memory: The Album in the Age of Photography traces the rise of the album from the turn of the century to today, showcasing important examples in the history of the medium, as collected by the Library of Congress.
This book showcases the wonderful range of objects hand-made to memorialize, document, or educate, providing an immensely personal and idiosyncratic historical perspective. From an Alaskan expedition album of Edward Sheriff Curtis's early work, to Walker Evans's extended suite of images in study for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, to a family album by Danny Lyon, this beautifully produced book provides an in-depth look at the history of photography through these largely unpublished objects.
The work of photographers and filmmakers such as F. Holland Day, Jim Goldberg, Dorothea Lange, Duane Michals, Leni Riefenstahl, and W. Eugene Smith sits alongside lesser-known, yet significant albums on subjects as varied as African American vaudeville, the 1915 Jerusalem locust plague, and the folkways of Spain. Photographic Memory is a comprehensive illustrated history of a form of presentation that became an art form in itself.
Verna Posever Curtis (editor) is a curator of photography in the Prints & Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. She has written and lectured extensively on 19th and 20th century photography, and penned the volumes Ambassadors of Progress: American Women Photographers in Paris, 1900–1901 and F. Holland Day: Selected Texts and Bibliography, among others.
"Includes wonderful examples of the modern hand-made photographic album from the likes of Danny Lyon and Jim Goldberg." – Sean O'Hagan, The Guardian

We're only days away from the epic three-night crossover between The CW's Supergirl, Arrow and The Flash, and frankly, Sunday cannot come fast enough! We're even more psyched after watching the first sneak peek of the crossover!
In this clip that TV Guide and GameSpot are debuting exclusively, we get to see a meet up we've been waiting for ever since Supergirl first premiered!
After waking up in each others' lives, Barry and Oliver seek out their ally, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), in the hopes that she can help them put their reality back in order, but they didn't intend on bumping into her larger than life cousin when they made the trip to the family farm. That's right! The Green Arrow, The Flash, and Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) officially come face to face -- and we feel like there's a really good Justice League joke just waiting to happen...
Discover your new favorite show: Watch This Now!
Naturally, this is less of a meet-cute and more of a meet-funny. Barry is his usual, adorable self, but he does catch Oliver puffing out his chest in some macho male posturing in their first face off with the Man of Steel. Oliver, he would destroy you, let's not pretend otherwise. It doesn't take them long to clue Kara in on their little predicament though, so let's hope she's got some ideas about how to undo this Freaky Friday they've pulled.
The Arrowverse crossover event kicks off Sunday, Dec. 9 at 8/7c on The CW.
(Full Disclosure: TV Guide is owned by CBS, one of The CW's parent companies.)

Welcome to the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship blog. Throughout the championship you will be able to read about our impressions behind the ice in Stockholm and Helsinki.
Martin Merk / 18 May / StockholmDuring the three weeks of World Championship action also several celebrities showed up to watch games at the arenas.Russian President Vladimir Putin paid Helsinki a visit already in the preliminary round and Sweden's Prince Carl Philip was happy to present Swedish forward Loui Eriksson the prize for the best player, a Tissot watch, after his two-goal performance in the semi-final win against Finland.The late semi-final game was attended by Swiss President Ueli Maurer and also Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, watched the semi-final games in Stockholm.More celebrities are expected on Sunday when the IIHF Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place to honour several hockey legends prior to the medal games. The Canadian, Finnish and Swedish induction jerseys are currently auctioned and the proceedings fully go to the charity of the former players' choice.
Martin Merk / 16 May / StockholmFans in Stockholm, Helsinki and on TV might have noticed the black Isostar bottles used on the player benches and by the goalies to stay hydrated during the game. For the last 24 years the company has provided the sports drink to the hockey stars on the world stage.All teams use these bottles. All? In the case of Russia the story is slightly different. The golden colour of the bottles remind that this is the defending champion and that the gold fever is – despite some hiccoughs in the preliminary round – not over yet."Originally we only had black bottles but for the last three years we've been offering golden bottles. That was when we had the idea to produce them for the defending champion," said Rainer Wegner, Isostar Event Manager.The first team to showcase the golden Isostar bottles were the Czechs in the 2011 Worlds in Slovakia.One year later, though, it was back to all-black."We offered it to the Finns, but they didn't want it. They were kind of superstitious and preferred the normal bottles," Wegner said. "But when we offered it to the Russian team, they were more than happy to play with golden bottles, and they were so proud that they stuck their flag on it."Will it provide subliminal help to defend the world title? The last team that won back-to-back World Championships were the Russians in 2008 and 2009.
Risto Pakarinen / 15 May / HelsinkiI don't like shopping. Shopping for clothes, that is. I'm one of those people who buy two pairs of jeans when they find one that they like, and if I'm feeling completely crazy, I may buy two pairs that are different colour. But I do love my wife so I happily join her when she goes shopping, and I like to think that I have evolved over the years, too.In fact, I know I have, because years ago, I used to just stand outside the fitting rooms and text with my friends, and these days I don't text anymore because I'm on Facebook.However, I think Stockmann, the famous department store in downtown Helsinki, may be on to something now. In their men's department, next to shirts and ties, and Team Finland merchandise, there are some chairs, and a big screen on which shoppers can watch the World Championship games. Stockmann - which happens to be Europe's sixth biggest department store, and the biggest in the Nordics - shies away from calling it what it really is: a spouse park. It's meant for people like me who happily join their spouses to the store, but don't want to miss a second of Worlds action.They may not want to call it that, but I applaud them for doing it. It's a true win-win situation. At home. Not on the ice. There are no win-wins in the tournament anymore.
Lucas Aykroyd / 13 May / HelsinkiIf you enjoy live renditions of Van Halen, AC/DC, Santana, and other classic rock music, Hartwall Arena has been the place to be since the tournament kicked off on May 3. Game after game, both during stoppages in play and intermission, the talented local cover band Jimmy Cola has been cranking out the hits from one rinkside corner of the arena.How did this six-piece outfit land such a coveted gig?"We were first invited by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association to play at the Channel One Cup game here on December 13 between the Czechs and the Finns [a 3-2 Finnish win]," singer Jussi Mikkola told IIHF.com backstage. "They had this idea that there should be some live music at the World Championship. We were wondering how this would work technically. That was a big question mark. But everything went well at that break game in December."And here they are now, happily sporting jerseys that represent the different national teams. Of course, their challenge is to not get so caught up in performing that they interfere with the action when play resumes."We're all big ice hockey fans," said Mikkola. "Our drummer Epe Liukkonen even played in the Finnish youth national teams. So Eppe is always nailing the beat. When the puck goes out of play, he tries to make sure that everybody stops on the next beat. Through the tournament, we've gotten quite good at it."Jimmy Cola has a potential set list of 200 to 300 songs, but it's all about picking the right ones for the atmosphere at the games. Having violin player Juha Sokka comes in handy for the arrangements when they want to do Russian tunes like "Kalinka", for instance."We try to represent all the countries, something reflecting their own culture," said Mikkola. "That was the easy part. And with bands like AC/DC and Van Halen, people always get into the spirit of ice hockey from them."Playing day in and day out poses a physical challenge for musicians, even veterans like the Jimmy Cola guys. They typically play between 100 and 150 shows all over Finland each year, from clubs to corporate events.While they're loving the opportunity to mostly stay put in Helsinki during the Worlds, the workload doesn't slow down for them. And Mikkola has to be aware of preserving his voice, as he mimics everyone from Jon Bon Jovi to Michael Jackson."The other day, we had a gig in Lappeenranta," said Mikkola. "We drove there [close to three hours one way] and then we came back today. Today we're a little bit tired. But I have done singing for a long time. The arena isn't an easy environment to sing in, because it changes all the time between coldness and warmth. I'm hanging in there."
Andrew Podnieks / 13 May / StockholmTake a look at this photo behind one net at the Globe Arena. Notice two things. One, there is no red light atop the glass. Two, there is no goal judge holding a clicker to illuminate the red light. "We don't use the red light or goal judge here," said Mikael Krantz of Mediatec, which runs the game from a video and broadcast perspective. Indeed, when a goal is scored these days, the referee points to the net and blows his whistle, the scoring team celebrates, and the players go back to centre ice for the faceoff. If there is a dispute about the goal, the referees "go upstairs" for video review, but the decades-old tradition of having an official behind the net to announce a goal is, officially, dead. Cameras have made him redundant.
Lucas Aykroyd / 12 May / HelsinkiWant to relive some glorious hockey history while you look forward to the excitement of the quarter-finals? If so, head to Helsinki's Olympic Stadium, just a short tram ride away from Hartwall Arena.The stadium – built in 1938 with 3,500 cubic metres of wood, 4,000 tons of cement, and 1,000 tons of iron to host the 1952 Summer Olympics – is home to the Sports Museum of Finland (€5 adults, free for children under 18). It includes a nice selection of hockey artifacts amid all the tributes to cross-country skiers and distance runners.You can check out Jari Kurri's jersey, gloves, helmet, skates, and stick from his 1990 Stanley Cup run with the Edmonton Oilers. Or admire a 1997 Teemu Selänne jersey from the Anaheim Ducks (who were Mighty in those days), along with a stick the "Finnish Flash" used at the 2010 Olympics.A small theatre called Kino Nurmi (after the great Turku runner Paavo Nurmi) shows clips of highlights and lowlights in Finnish sports history. Finnish fans will enjoy reliving their nation's first-ever World Championship victory in Stockholm in 1995 (which, of course, they're hoping to reprise this year).Timo Jutila's celebration on the 4-1 goal that salted away the Lions' victory rivals what Edmonton's Nail Yakupov did after scoring to beat Los Angeles in overtime earlier this NHL season. It's fun to see very young-looking stars like Saku Koivu and Jere Lehtinen in bulbous blue helmets.Don't miss the jukebox tucked away in a corner, where you can listen to sports-themed tunes like Finnish pop star Eppu Normaali's "Urheiluhullu" or "Den Glider In", the song of the '95 Worlds.After touring the Sports Museum, take the elevator to the 72-meter summit of the stadium tower (€5 adults, €3 children).You'll enjoy an epic view that includes the track for the '52 Olympics, swimming pools and soccer fields, the cathedrals at the Helsinki harbour, and the roller coasters at Linnanmäki, Helsinki's famous amusement park.
Andrew Podnieks / 11 May / StockholmThe Globe Arena is, quite literally, not for the faint of heart. The trip from the mixed zone at street level to the media tribune where we watch the games is exactly 119 stairs long, making it nearly four times more onerous than Hitchcock's 39 Steps but not as demanding as the Potemkin Stairs in Odessa, Ukraine which are 200 in number.The 119 also pale besides the world's longest staircase, which is at Niesen Mountain at Lake Thun, Switzerland, which consists of 11,674 steps.Elevators at the Globen Steps are not an option in our case (Niesen has a cable car, at least). Taking into account two or three games a day, the number of trips down and, more importantly, up make every day more than a good little workout. Like it or not. The stairs are also winding for much of the trek, making the trip a little dizzying if you try to do it quickly.
Szymon Szemberg / 9 May / StockholmIt's a brilliant solution to a rather difficult logistical challenge at the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Stockholm. The coaches are driven to the post-game press conference by Swedish 2008 Olympic swimmer Hanna Westrin. As you can see by the look in Swiss coach Sean Simpson's eyes, he is quite jolly both with the unusual means of transportation and the driver.Background? The host organizers of the Stockholm leg of the Worlds simply couldn't find space for a press-conference room at the Globen Arena, the main rink. So the entire press centre and the media interview room had to be put at the Hovet, the practice arena.The small problem is that Hovet is some 200 metres from the Globen and you don't ask a coach (especially after a loss...) to walk this distance to the press conference. So what do you do? Of course! You get two golf carts which take you between the arenas in less than one minute.Sometimes the coaches get their own cart, but sometimes they share. And if they do, like in this picture, the losing coach (here Czech Alois Hadamczik) has to take the back seat, and Sean Simpson smiles all the way to the press-conference room.When the second cart is needed, it is driven by press-conference co-ordinator Pål Burman. Now, take a guess with whom the coaches rather go, with Hanna or Pål? Sometimes Hanna also moderates the press conferences. After retiring from swimming in 2010, she studies Marketing & Communications.
Andrew Podnieks / 9 May / StockholmYou have to write "B. Borg" like this because this is how the name appeared on the scoreboard at Centre Court of Wimbledon for so many years. The two names – Borg and Wimbledon – are synonymous with tennis greatness. Borg was a promising junior hockey player who gave up the ice for the grass and became an immortal figure on the courts.Today, he plays at the local "Stockholms tennishall" with the club's manager and pro, Christer Lundberg. The club has seven courts and was built in 1976 by Jan-Erik Lundqvist, who was one of the top-ranked players in the world pre-Borg. Lundberg took over the operations of the tennis courts eight years ago and has been playing with Borg for years.I watched the two play this morning, and Borg, his mane white not blond now, has the same grace and skill that I remember during his halcyon days. He serves effortlessly, moves into his service return with the old perfect timing, and keeps both hands on the racquet when hitting his backhand, which used to be a hybrid two-hander wherein he'd let go of the top hand on impact. He moves Lundberg around nicely, but Lundberg can get him with drop shots. Borg huffs and puffs a bit now, his incredible conditioning not as it was when he was a 25-year-old number one, of course, but watching him on a local court is a memory never to be forgotten.The walls of the tennishall are dotted with Borg's old racquets, many Wimbledon photos, and more souvenirs from Lundqvist's career. This little local club is a shrine to greatness on the court, and that greatness still plays. Time stands still, the memories come flooding back. B. Borg was the greatest of them all, the Bobby Orr of tennis, as it were.
Andrew Podnieks / 8 May / StockholmIf the Vasa Museum is the first place a tourist must visit, the Olympic Stadium is definitely the second. Located in downtown Stockholm, it is in immaculate condition, having celebrated its centenary last year. Built in 1912, it was the main venue for track and field, football, and tug of war (!) when Stockholm hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics. Sweden won the most medals that year, 65, and thereafter it was used by local football teams in the Swedish league. It has also hosted many concerts, including one by the Rolling Stones in 1995 which accounted for a stadium attendance record of 35,200. More improbably, it was also the main venue for the IIHF's 1949 and 1954 World Championships, the field being frozen and turned into a mid-winter rink for top-level tournaments. Today, the stadium is used as a training facility by a nearby university, and the gates are often open. Tourists can literally walk in and see the stadium from midfield. Small, to be sure, it is easy to imagine the parade of athletes walking along the track 101 years ago, such is the beauty of the building and its well-kept grounds.
Risto Pakarinen / 8 May / HelsinkiAs has already been established by my colleague Lucas here, Esa Tikkanen is very much a part of the Helsinki look during the World Championship. How about Finland's other five-time Stanley Cup champion, Jari Kurri, you ask?Let me tell you.Finland's greatest player seems to pop up a little bit everywhere, just like he did as the conscientious two-way player he used to be.For instance, he's on the cover of the tournament program – which, as a side note, at two euro, or 20 krona, is a bargain – together with Mats Sundin. He's also inside the program, giving his best tips on what to see in Helsinki, his hometown.Sometimes, he's on the scoreboard, in thee IIHF's Green Puck anti-doping campaign.If you want to see the legend in flesh, just have a look behind the Finnish national team's bench: The GM is also one of the coaches.Walking around the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, you'll see several Kurri sweaters on the walls. There's one from an NHL All-Star Game, one from his time with the Edmonton Oilers, one from the short Rangers era, and another 17 from the Finnish national team.Normally there's also a banner in the rafters with the number 17 on it. Well, there are two banners, because both Jokerit, his Finnish club team, and the Finnish federation have retired his number.That's why it may be a bit of a surprise to see a photo of another Kurri sweater in the Jokerit trophy case on the arena first floor. Among all the Jokerit Helsinki trophies, there's a photo of Aimo Mäkinen, the founder of Jokerit handing over a red Jokerit Kurri sweater to Jari's father, Ville. The number on the sweater that Kurri wore with Jokerit before joining the Oilers is – 11.
Andrew Podnieks / 7 May / StockholmAt the top of any must-do list for visitors to Stockholm is a trip to the Vasamuseet (Vasa Museum). Herein is contained one principal exhibit, a ship called the Vasa which set sail on her maiden voyage on August 10, 1628, and sank after travelling just 1,300 metres (take that, Titanic).The ship lay at the bottom of Stockholm harbor until 1961, yet after 333 years it was recovered in remarkable condition because the harbous water contains little salt. In fact, when it was lifted to ground, city officials were able to restore 98 per cent of the ship to its original glory.The exterior was adorned with hundreds of carvings, still immaculate, and much of the boat's interior was also salvaged, including clothing and jewellery, coins, even medical equipment and a board game, all of which are also on display.The Vasamuseet itself was constructed in 1990 to house the ship and is the most popular tourist destination in the city. The ship was built by King Gustaf II Adolf of the Vasa family and was 52 metres tall. It was the largest warship ever. It sank because of poor design – it was too tall and too heavy for its hull – and sank after four of ten sails were hoisted. It quickly lurched to one side, water gushed in, and it sank.
Lucas Aykroyd / 7 May / HelsinkiDuring a short tournament like the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, it's important to keep your focus on hockey. And while the players are thinking about the next game, going to practice, watching video, getting massages, and trying to get sufficient rest and nutrition, fans can read about our favourite sport.At least that's the kind of logic that must have motivated the creation of a special World Championship-themed book display at the Akateeminen Kirjakauppa. It's located on the second floor of Finland's largest bookstore, just off the famous Helsinki shopping street of Mannerheimintie.There's a 2013 Finnish-language edition of World of Hockey: Celebrating a Century of the IIHF, the official in-depth history which features chapters by IIHF.com staff as well as noted international hockey writers such as Pavel Barta and Igor Kuperman. You can also pick up a Finnish translation of 2002 Olympic gold medalist Theoren Fleury's no-holds-barred autobiography, Playing with Fire.Fans of the SM-Liiga will appreciate Mika Wickström's HIFK-Jokerit, chronicling the rivalry between these two classic Helsinki clubs. In addition, there's a new biography of Jorma "Jerry Salmi", a pioneering early Finnish pro who suited up at three Worlds and one Olympics, by Arto Teronen and Jouko Vuolle.Such essential fashion accessories as blue-and-white Finnish flags, scarves, and top hats are also for sale. This way, you can be properly attired as you hold your book in one hand to read in between whistles, grip your beer with the other, and yell "Suomi!" at the top of your lungs as often as possible.
Andrew Podnieks / 6 May / StockholmIIHF photo editor Steve Poirier discovered this gem of a shot from the Czech Republic-Sweden game on May 4 in Stockholm.Taken using an overhead camera by IIHF photographer Andre Ringuette, it shows Martin Hanzal handling the puck with his own stick in his left hand while handing the lost goalie stick back to Alexander Salak with the other.Jan Hejda looks on with (we assume) admiration for Hanzal's deft and dexterous display.
Andrew Podnieks / 6 May / StockholmThe Globe Arena is outfitted with the world's only funicular of its kind. Rail tracks take two cars up along the side of the arena to the top, some 130 metres above street level, where people have an unobstructed view of the city. Called Skyview, the cars hold 16 people each and are a popular attraction since opening in February 2010.
Martin Merk / 6 May / StockholmCan Sweden break the home-ice curse? It didn't look so promising after losing the opening game to Switzerland, but hope is back after Saturday's win against the Czech Republic.Tickets for Tre Kronor games have been a hot commodity in Stockholm as their first two games were sold out although some tickets are still available for Tre Kronor's Monday game against Belarus.On Sunday, a day without a game for the Swedish team, fans were given the opportunity to watch the team practise for free in the afternoon.The doors and some sections of the Hovet rink, which is used for practices during the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, opened for Swedish fans who wanted to make use of the opportunity to overlook the team's preparation for the next game and come close to the team.The Sweden-Belarus game is on Monday at 20:15.
Lucas Aykroyd / 5 May / HelsinkiEsa Tikkanen used to drive Wayne Gretzky to distraction when the two former Edmonton Oilers linemates played against each other. Tikkanen, the famously chatty Finnish winger who won five Stanley Cups and bronze at the Olympics (1998) and Worlds (2000), was always assigned to shadow "The Great One".So you have to wonder what Gretzky would think about Tikkanen's latest venture.Sharp-eyed fans attending the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Helsinki may notice some interesting ads at downtown tram stops. Tikkanen has become the face of a new campaign for Grillimaisteri sausages.Now, Gretzky said in his 1990 autobiography that he hoped his final NHL goal would go in off Tikkanen's rear end. However, he also confided to People Magazine in 1982 that he played best on "four hot dogs with mustard and relish". Hmm.Maybe Wayne will try one of Esa's sausages, like it, and decide that he actually wants to be known as "The Grillimaisteri One".

Here we go America! The results are in, but let's see what lead up to it…
Tag Archive: Maks
Alright! You got the scoop on how the men will do. Here's the scoop on the ladies. By now you've probably already seen everyone dance. I created this before watching them so we'll see what happens tonight on the results show. Here we go!
Kirstie Alley is up first for the actress category. She's done great just staying in the media with her many wight loss plans. I'm excited for her because according to my sources, they've approached her for every show and she finally agreed. Even more so she'll finally find a weight loss program that will work for good in Dancing. I'm sure, much like Marie Osmond, she'll start to lose the pounds and people will give her the "hey you're doing a good job finding your figure again" sympathy vote. I'm sure that will add to pro dancer Maxim Chmerkovsky's "I like to take my shirt off" votes from the 13-16 year old girls that run the voting. Going to restaurants wearing clothes like the rest of the world must have be hard.
Disney girl Chelsea Kane seems to fit the "Hey let's get someone young to get the young vote" card. Disney viewers will be watching to show their support. Chelsea better known for her work on Disney channel's Bratz: The Movie, should be able to pull off the dance moves since Disney usually gets the talented all around singer/actor/dancer kids (just see Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears before she went Brtney Spears on everyone). I would imagine that she would get a great vote not just from her fan base, but from Mark Ballas' fan base as well. He's the young guy who's the hot ticket on the show.
Talk show host Wendy Williams will be great for the show. She's done her fair share of talking trash about everyone else that it's her turn to get trashed on. I'm most excited about how she'll react to the judges as she could bring some much needed banter to keep the contreversy of the show going. I'm sure she'll bring some dancing skills to bad boy pro partner Tony Dovolani. He'll show her off quite well. We should also see some good behind the scenes "Fighting" that are always good for ratings. Look for her to not go far, but be entertaining.
In the Model category we have Petra Nemcova. She's done some work in Sports Illustrated as a Swimsuit model. I never heard of such a thing. I guess I've been spending too much attention to my wife. Points for me! Not a lot on this end about her, just the fact that she will probably have ot stick with moves that show off her assets and not her dancing skills. I haven't seen her dance, but it's a hunch of mine that modeling and coordination don't go hand in hand. Ouch! I know. But she should provide the pretty flavor ABC is looking for and get some votes from that.
Next up is Kendra Wilkinson, not known for her acting skills, but better known for her work in Playboy as a Playmate (not that I've seen her work or anything either). She brings the "hot chick on the show" quality of reality T.V. I'm not sure if she will do much just like Petra, but look for her to get somewhat better on a week to week basis. Her votes will come from a small reality fan base as well as the "husband vote" from husband Hank Baskett who's being bounced around in the NFL. If there was such a category on this show, I predict that she would get the Most Improved Dancer award at the end of this season. More so because Louis Van Amstel will have to do the brunt of the work (and he knows how to make a star look good right out of the gate). I just hope he doesn't go too "I'm a dancing genius" on her and create a routine far beyond her ability. What am I talking about? He's Louis Van Amstel! You can't turn off Genius like that with a flip of any switch.
The first to go for the women will be Wendy Williams. As exciting as her personality is, I'm not sure if she'll have the dancing to back it up. However she'll get the votes from her fan base as well as Tony's, people won't respond to the quick quips she has about dance. Comedians haven't done well historically in this contest. The WINNER…Kirsty Alley. Kirstie gets the same voting like Marie. Although she doesn't have the fan base, she's going to surprise a bunch of people and win them over with her moves and changing physique. Plus she's got Maks who's overdue for a win as one of the favorite Pro dancers on the show. They'll win America over with her personality and his non compliance to the "No Shirt, No Shoes" policy.
As for me, I'll watch from the sidelines checking out the action and do my coaching from my couch. If you're asking whether or not I would better, the answer is YES I WOULD! The only difference would be that I would actually teach someone something and my routines would be more on the basic side because I would go more for the benefit of the student actually gaining some knowledge from their experience like knowing how to dance at the next function they go to. I probably wouldn't be the fan favorite as a result, but my case for a good instructor would be made. And if ABC wants to try a rebel teacher who will forego looks for substance then give me a call.

I have been trying to narrow the field when it comes to what kind of calcium is best for most of us.
Some of the information I found is at http://www.minniepauz.com/calcium.html
I had seen the coral calcium infomercials, but was suspicious of the claims made and I recently found this news report:
Good Housekeeping Study Shows Claims Are Misleading
Coral calcium is a supplement that makers claim can slow aging. The calcium is taken from coral mined in the waters off Okinawa, Japan.
"Coral calcium is being really marketed to really anyone who has a health problem," said Delia Hammock of Good Housekeeping.
A recent Good Housekeeping study looked in to the claims of an infomercial, and found the advertisement went too far and promised too much.
Here's what I take and why:
I've spent several years now trying to determine what kind of things (vitamins, minerals, supplements) I should be taking to stay healthy. I've never taken hormone replacement and I don't like taking a lot of pills anyway, so I've done a lot of research to find out what was essential for a woman my age. The most obvious is the calcium/magnesium and I had been using a liquid form (or powder in gel caps) to get the quickest absorption. All those HUGE pills are usually "eliminated" from our bodies before the good stuff can be absorbed sufficiently, therefore we're not getting the benefits that we are paying dearly for.
When I finally had a list of everything I felt was important, I was overwhelmed by the number of pills I would have to take! AND the SIZE of the pills was enough to gag an elephant, so when I found New Vision products I was thrilled that I could get all the nutrients I need in a form that would be the most effective. I have been taking this product for a month now and have determined that it's worth passing the information on to you. As you know, I take my recommendations very seriously and after the research I've done on New Vision, including speaking with their research and development department, I'm pleased to suggest that you check this out. I am taking the Essential Vitamins™, Essential Minerals™, Liquid Essentials for Women™ and the Essential Calcium™ with Magnesium and Vit D (it's effervescent!) and everything tastes wonderful!
I was introduced to New Vision products by one of their distributors, Mr. Amir Nabri, who has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and providing extensive information about the products. call him directly at 1-866-840-9501 for personal assistance. Tell him you're a Minnie Pauzer and you'll be treated like the Queen you are.
Ladies, it has come to the point where we have to research every single report or claim that we hear, especially when it comes to anything that is vital to our health. If we keep each other informed (it's now so easy to post a quick message on this board), then we will eventually be able to keep tabs on what works and what doesn't. Thank you (in advance) for contributing your personal results with certain products or for information on any reports you come across (please always show the source with a link when possible)
This thread is about calcium, but I will try to copy the other threads (black cohosh, avlimil(sp), progesterone cream) from the old message board and put them each on their own thread.
I just believe we have to be a little suspicious (well, maybe a LOT suspicious) when it comes to all the products that are being shoved in our face on a daily basis. These companies have finally figured out the buying power women have and they're pulling out all the stops!

This monogram pumpkin served as a place card and then as a small gift for the guests of our table at the Elegance of Fall Event. They were super easy and extremely affordable at only $2 a pop. AND... I live in the South, so as you might imagine, they were a huge hit!!
I couldn't find any all white pumpkins that I liked so I bought the bronze version at Michael's and just applied a coat of ivory spray paint. I had the stem taped off but decided I hated it bronze so I took a Silver Sharpie Paint Pen and went over the stem.
Once this is done you are ready to get started on your monogram. I just made a simple monogram for everyone in Word. It took me a minute to get the size right for my pumpkin but once it is done you just have to plug each persons in and print.
1. Print each monogram and cut it down to a manageable size rectangle.
2. Using a pencil trace and color in each monogram ON THE BACK OF THE PAPER. You should be able to see right through your paper without anything special but if not tape it to a window and the light coming through will help.
|Partially filled in ON THE BACK of your image using a pencil
3. Tape it to your pumpkin and using a blunt edge (I used my Sharpie with the lid on for this) go over your entire monogram applying gentle pressure. When you remove the paper your should have an image of the monogram.
|Tape or just hold it on for this step. Just DO NOT let it slip!
|The transfered monogram
|All done!
5. It dries fast. I suppose you could put a clear coat of sealer on top but mine have held up just fine.

Slotted Brake Rotors give your ride a sporty and aggressive style, but they are not just for good looks. The slots machined into the face of the rotor actually remove excess brake dust and gases between the pads and rotors. This provides a clean contact patch for the pads to "grab" onto and slow your vehicle down more efficiently.
{MMYMake} Slotted rotors, like the Hawk Performance Quiet Slot, are better suited for higher speeds or if you intend to use an aggressive brake pad such as the EBC YellowStuff or a Hawk Performance Race Pad. This doesn't mean you can't use standard pads with a slotted rotor on the street, they are a great upgrade over factory blank rotors.
If you need help choosing Brake Rotors or Brake Pads for your vehicle, give us a call! We have professional brake technicians standing by ready to answer any questions you may have! 888-257-7149

And so the coaching pretty much official, former Louisiana Tech Head Coach is now coming to Cal with his high powered offense.
Here's the quick gist Jeff Faraudo:
Dykes, 43, operates a wide-open passing attack that produced 51.5 points per game and was second nationally with 577.9 total yards.
The Bulldogs were 9-3 this season, but they were left out of a bowl game after briefly stalling after an offer from the Independence Bowl.
Dykes has a three-year record of 22-15 at the Ruston, La., school.
He was earning $760,000 per year with Louisiana Tech, barely one-third of what Cal paid Jeff Tedford, who was fired on Nov. 20 after 11 seasons.
Dykes is the son of longtime Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes. His resume includes a stint as offensive coordinator at Pac-12 rival Arizona.
He started off in Texas Tech learning under former Texas Tech Head Coach and current Washington State Head Coach Mike Leach. He was an excellent recruiter there and even won an All-American Football Foundation's Mike Campbell Top Assistant Award at Texas Tech. He's also not new to the Pac-10/12 atmosphere. After Texas Tech, he transformed Arizona's offense from 16.6 points and 252.8 yards per game to 36.6 points and 402.4 yards per game and also helped develop Nick Foles. Sure he loves passing the ball but he is surprisingly balanced with his system with 227.17 rushing/game with La Tech this past year.
However, there are some big cons. He had a defense that allowed 38.5 pts/game (they only won games because they scored 51.5 pts/game). They also had one of the most penalties/game in the nation (only Washington, Cal and UCLA had more) with 8.2/game, now imagine that team playing with Pac-12 refs. Also, Dykes was not able to beat any big name teams this past year, as he lost to Texas A&M, Utah St, and San Jose St.
The biggest question now is who is going to be part of his staff? Who will be the defensive coordinator (Lot's of people are saying DeWayne Walker)? If Dykes can haul in a great crew of assistants like Jim Mora did over at UCLA, next season will be very fruitful for Cal, if not very entertaining.

When the Vikings signed linebacker Desmond Bishop, it was widely assumed he'd battle with Erin Henderson for the middle linbacker position. Bishop then told PFT Live that he could play outside or inside.
On Thursday, coach Leslie Frazier told reporters that Bishop will begin on the outside.
According to Ben Goessling of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Frazier explained that the Vikings like Bishop's blitzing skills.
If he wins the job, it'll likely be Chad Greenway on the weak side, Bishop on the strong side, and Henderson in the middle.
Bishop was cut by the Packers late in the offseason program, after suffering a preseason hamstring tear in 2012. He missed all of the season.

• quinquagenary •
kwing-kwah-jin-e-ri • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, adjective.
Meaning: A 50th anniversary.
Notes: This is a seldom used word, no doubt, because we ignore large anniversaries denoting fewer than 100 years (a centenary or centennial). It may be used as a noun (the quinquagenary of their wedding) or an adjective (their quinquagenary wedding celebration). This word is obviously related to quinquagenarian "(a) 50-year-old" but no other words of any frequency at all.
In Play: Today's Good Word came to mind as Dr. Goodword and his lovely wife, Helen Faye, celebrate their quinquagenary among their brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren at their home. Being celebrated is, as he puts it in the dedication of The 100 Most Beautiful Words in English, "a half century of love and friendship and the journey of a life time." With today's Good Word, I celebrate those 50 wonderful years, the remarkable children and grandchildren they produced, and promise to avoid such personal indulgences for the next fifty years.
Word History: Today's potentially poignant Good Word comes from Latin quinquagenarius "having fifty", derived from quinquageni "fifty each". The word for "fifty" itself is quinquaginta, based on the word for "five", quinque. This word is still around today as cinque in Italian, cinq in French, and cinco in Portuguese and Spanish. Etymologists assume that the original Proto-Indo-European word for "five" was something like penkwe-, because it shows up in Greek as pente (as in pentagon), and in Sanskrit as pancam. Since we expect the Germanic languages to change the P to F, we are not surprised at English five and German fünf. It might surprise us to know that the same root turned up in two other English words related to the meaning "five", one with an N (finger) and one without (fist).

You should start seeing results either way now (and case doesn't matter when you're finally computing the result).
Mind you, the suggestions aren't for people that know the currency codes already XD (e.g. type "yen", get JPY).
Great, thanks!

I'd bet money that christian superstitions about Babylon and this stupid "end times" delusion play a role in this:

Troops from the US-led force in Iraq have caused widespread damage and severe contamination to the remains of the ancient city of Babylon, according to a damning report released today by the British Museum.

Honorable Mention Poetry: "On Lake Superior"
by Gina Evers '05
The mouths of three rivers salivate
as a December moon bears down onto the horizon.
I watch the old man cloak, uncloak.
Here, he says, they call this mid-winter.
"Mid" because many names for cold
help make the stillness bearable.
My eight-year-old mother stands
against another lakeshore, her Christmas dress
buttoned into brown with white trim, her hand
enveloped in the gloveless palm of my grandfather.
I am floating in a capsized coffee table.
My grandmother's red and black blanket is my sail
strung between two of the legs.
On the other side of the water, a moon is crowning
I plunge my arms in, I paddle faster
with frozen fingers, my little mother
there on the shore. The second full moon this month,
my grandfather yells after her, a sign of good fortune
coming in the new year.

Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent
tooth decay and
dental cavities. It is added to local water supplies,
toothpastes, and other mouth care products. Most communities in the United
States have fluoride added to their water supply. Studies show a reduction in tooth decay of 50% or more in children if fluoride is added to a community's
water supply.1
To find out how much fluoride is in your
drinking water, call your local water company or the state health department.
If you
have your own well, have the state health department check your water to find
out if your family needs fluoride from other sources.
Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
Ask your doctor or dentist whether your children need fluoride
treatments. If your children need fluoride, your dentist will recommend
additional sources of fluoride. Research shows that fluoride gels, toothpastes,
and varnishes reduce tooth decay in children and teens.2
Too much fluoride swallowed during the
early childhood years may cause white, brown, or black spots or streaks on the
outside of the teeth (fluorosis). This may also cause the tooth enamel to
become rough.
Fluoride is
safe in the amounts provided in water supplies but can be toxic in large
amounts. Toxic levels depend on your child's weight. A lethal dose of fluoride
for a 3-year-old child is 500 mg and is even
less for a younger child or infant. Keep all products containing fluoride, such
as toothpastes and mouthwashes, away from children. If you think your child may
have swallowed too much fluoride, call your local poison control center or the National Poison Control Hotline right away at

While traveling around Charleston, South Carolina in search of a Charleston-themed cupcake recipe to bake in my HomeAway vacation rental home (get the back story in my initial Charleston post), I noticed that the tourist markets all carried benne seed wafers. "Now, there's a unique product. I must use benne seeds in my Charleston cupcakes!"
One vendor was offering free benne seed wafer samples (I NEVER turn down a free sample). As I inhaled the benne seed wafer sample, I asked the obvious question:
What are Benne Seeds?
The benne seed wafer vendor at the tourist market informed me that benne seeds are seeds "very similar to sesame seeds." "Interesting," I thought. Not to say that I've heard of everything, but I was surprised that I'd never heard of benne seeds before.
Later that same day, Jonathan and I went to Husk for lunch. If you are ever in Charleston, I highly recommend both Husk and McCrady's (one of the best meals that I've ever eaten!). Lunch service was fairly slow at Husk so our server had time to chat. "Can you tell me anything about these benne seeds that I'm seeing everywhere?" I asked. He was happy to explain that benne seeds were popular in Africa and brought to the United States by slaves. "That's how they came to be so common in Charleston. It's also the reason that we use benne seeds on our lunch rolls." I had no idea that I had just eaten benne seed rolls! Neat! I thought that they were plain, old sesame seed rolls. I renewed my resolve to use benne seeds in my cupcakes!
I knew that I would be going to the Marion Square Farmers' Market in a couple of days and I was sure that someone there could tell me where to buy benne seeds – maybe there was a vendor there who sold them. I wondered if perhaps in Charleston, benne seeds could be found in your everyday grocery store. The people at the Charleston Spice Company were friendly and full of information, so I decided to ask them.
"Where can I buy benne seeds?"
"Benne seeds are just sesame seeds," they told me with confidence. It couldn't be!
Why didn't anyone else tell me that benne seeds are sesame seeds? Not that I didn't trust them, but I checked with my friend, Google, to make sure. The Wikipedia page about sesame seeds says that, in the southern US and the Caribbean, where the sesame seed was introduced by African slaves, it is known mostly by an African name: benne.
After finding out that benne seeds are sesame seeds, two opposing theories crossed my mind:
- Using the term benne seeds is a Charlestonian conspiracy to get tourists to buy sesame seed wafers that they otherwise wouldn't purchase – genius marketing at work.
- The term "benne seed" is something that I should have known about. It's just a regional difference like saying "pop" vs. "soda" that everyone is aware of.
As you might guess, I prefer theory one. What's your take?
Did I Use Benne Seeds In My Charleston-Themed Cupcakes?
You bet I did! Check out the Lemon Ice Box Pie Cupcakes I created.

Hi TMC forum'ites! It's been around 6 years since I last posted around these parts. Remember me Cakey?
The last posts I believe were when I sold my Rancilio Silvia as I moved away from espresso and on to brewed coffee. V60, chemex etc.
Well I'm kind of getting itchy for a machine again. One reason is due to my annoyance of so many people I know saying they've got an espresso machine only to go on to describe their nespresso pod type thing...to which I turn my nose up.
I also just feel the urge to tamp and pull a sweet espresso at home again. I've still got all my accessories and rocky grinder just no machine.
Thing is I'm limited on money that I can spend and so the lovely £1K plus HX or dual boiler machines are out the question. Once again it seems perhaps the latest 2016 version of the Rancilio Silvia may be the one to get especially as I'm familiar with them. However as it's been so many years I'm kind of no longer 'in the know' as to what is considered the best machine at this price range..or any price range to be honest.
So those who are in the know can you advise me please?
What is the latest thinking on the 2016 Silvia?
Much appreciated!

Published regularly since 1814, the Navy List is a good starting place for researching the career of an officer in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Queen Alexandra's Royal Nursing Service, Coast Guard, and other naval entities. The list includes both commissioned and warrant officers, and along with names, lists can indicate rank, seniority, decorations, and other details.
The Navy List includes numerous groupings. For example, officers are grouped by rank. These include admirals, commanders, captains, lieutenants, chaplains, carpenters, boatswains, artificer engineers, gunners, surgeons, and others. There are also lists of ships with their officers and current stations, as well as lists of pensioners and retired officers.
