I will admit: I've avoided the sun so I wouldn't get darker. I've gone swimming at night instead of during the day to avoid tan lines. It's completely and utterly ridiculous. I should enjoy the sun's warm rays and get some exercise! But where do these thoughts come from? We weren't born with the innate ability to distinguish between skin colors and assign meanings to them. But for some women, the fair skin battle draws them into deeper depths than just avoiding sunshine during the day.
In South Asian tradition, a light skinned woman is supposedly more beautiful than a dark skinned woman. This belief can be traced back to early invasions of India by the Turks and British. As light skinned people inhabited India and wielded their authority, natives who sought power and beauty likened fair skin with power and status. Some say the Caste System also contributed to these attitudes, with light skinned higher caste members dominating the lower caste members with darker skin. Additionally, history might indicate that lighter skinned people enjoyed a more fanciful life, while darker skinned people worked in the fields.
For an even more blatant and modern perpetuation of this stereotype, watch any Bollywood movie's actors and actresses. The movies tend to feature ultra-fair-skinned heros and heroines, while villains and village women tend to be portrayed by darker complexioned actors.
Can this be a realistic depiction of South Asian people? Do South Asian women strive to appear like the beautiful women seen in the movies? The majority of South Asians are not as fair skinned as the movies portray. They range in hues from ivory to caramel, from mocha to ebony.
(As a humorous side note, check out some of the matrimonial ads seeking fair maidens.)
Furthermore, the South Asian skin product market is littered with skin lightening products. Everything from our aunt's Fair and Lovely to our dermatologist's hydroquinone is being consumed for the purpose of a fair complexion. Some of these crèmes are harmful for the skin, and can lead to irritation. It's amazing to observe the lengths some women will go to, sometimes dangerous lengths, just to achieve a slightly lighter shade.
However, Fair and Lovely is now the topic of controversy in South Asia nowadays, where a movement led by the All India Democratic Women's Association finally begins to bring some justice to the issue of skin color.
This issue doesn't just concern South Asians. African American celebrities like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Halle Berry are so beautiful and talented in their genres, but in all actuality, they're considerably fair! In fact, an MSNBC article posed the question of whether Vanity Fair lightened Beyonce's skin for a cover photo (which they vehemently denied). A darker skinned woman like Fantasia Barrino doesn't get nearly the same spotlight, despite her enormous talent. Some African American bloggers speak of similar sentiment concerning skin color in their communities as well.
It's clear that American Desi girls feel the fair-skin pressure because of the media coming at them from both sides of the world. Both Desi culture and American culture subconsciously allude towards the idea that a lighter complexion is more beautiful than a darker one. It's not easy living in a society where vanity and visual appearance speak volumes before a woman even speaks!
The vast diversity in our skin colors is just one of the visual aspects of our heritage. And there's so much wonder woven into our heritage to fret over skin color! So, feel free to bask in the sun and be proud of your glow!

Midwest Living Review
The city of Horicon in central Wisconsin is synonymous with the famous Horicon Marsh, the nation's largest freshwater cattail marsh and a birding hotspot. If it wasn't for the marsh, coupled with the city's strategic location on the Rock River, Horicon would simply be another unknown small town with little to offer visitors. But the marsh is there, and Horicon (population: 4,000) capitilizies on that.A local business, Blue Heron Landing, has been offering guided boat tours of the marsh for nearly 50 years. Canoe and kayak rentals are available, as is shuttle service. A 2-mile hiking trail on the city's northeastern end takes you through a scenic slice of woods and out onto the marsh for a close look at some of the wildlife. Visitors who have come from afar can stay at one of two small hotels or The Honeybee Inn Bed & Breakfast, one of the poshest B&Bs in the state. Unfortunately, there aren't any notable restaurants or specialty shops in town, although the neighboring city of Mayville has a few. The marsh is run by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and those two entities offer a wealth of programming and tours year-round. Horicon's businesses have plenty of maps and brochures about these programs, and happily help visitors find what they're looking for. The city's main annual event is the May Horicon Marsh Bird Festival, sponsored by the Horicon Marsh Bird Club. It also hosts various other events, such as a summer Rock n River Jam, fall arts and crafts show, and a farmers market.

I guess that title sounds odd, doesn't it? Especially coming from me, one who prefers the summer time.
As I write this, the climate here in Sussex County has been simply fabulous. This is the time of the year to catch some of that fantastic looking fall foliage, especially when driving along Routes 15, 23, and 206. And because Mother Nature has blessed this area with a warm spell, it's a great time to have your windows rolled down as you take in this wave of "Indian Summer". Personally, I try to appreciate what we have now because let's face it...it's all downhill from there as it gets chillier in the weeks and months not too far away from now.
One of the things I remember as a young kid was during the fall season, my family would go to an apple farm somewhere in southern NJ and start picking apples. I always looked forward to events like this...the smell of the fresh apples emanating from the trees was very intoxicating and in a good way to say the least! My family's house was stocked full of apples for what seemed to be a surplus supply and out of that came lots of apple pies and assorted fruit salads.
And finally, since we're in the fall season, you'll have to forgive me as I continue to cheer the red hot Philadelphia Phillies. Currently 2-0 in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, I really believe that the Fightin' Phils have a very good shot at playing the World Series. My friends (many of which are frustrated Mets fans) have come to the conclusion that I'm impossible to be around with while I am afflicted with "Phillies Fever"!
And on that note, all I can say is "Go Phillies"!

War, religion, politics, and guns have been hotly contested topics for decades, even millennia. It hasn't been until the last decade or so when families, friends, and communities starting debating each other on the steps of state capitols and at dinner tables across the country over all aspects of energy, especially natural resource development.
It's become an emotional debate, with two sides that feel like the other is not listening. Companies are frustrated,…

"After at least an extra month of guarded anticipation, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR) finally released oil and gas production data on 86 wells producing from the Utica shale during 2012. Oddly enough, an article from Reuters appearing in Friday's papers dismisses the Utica play as a bust. To quote the…

Views: Family comes first for Bears' Tillman
I was pacing the third floor waiting room in the birth center of the hospital in Beaumont, Texas, wondering what I would do.
It was early on a Wednesday morning late in 2010, I was in a new state on the other end of the country and within minutes my second daughter would be born. I was in that waiting room, watching my oldest daughter, wondering what to do.
My first four phone calls went unanswered. The fourth and final option, via text, responded.

by Pat Mills and Oliver Ledroit
The story is set in a world called Résurrection, which is often called Hell. In Résurrection people are re-incarnated into monsters according to the sins - or lack thereof - of their life. The lowest ranks are formed by zombies and Kobolds whilst vampires form the elite of the society and the ruling class. The more cruel one was in life, the better he is rewarded on Résurrection. There is therefore an inverted concept of justice in "Requiem Chevalier Vampire". Résurrection has a similar shape as our Earth does, but everything appears to be the opposite way around than on Earth. Land has replaced the oceans, while seas of perpetual fire occupy our known continents and time flows backwards. People do not get older but rejuvenate until they become a foetus and ultimately are forgotten; their memory follows the same cycle and is "lost" as people get younger. In order to avoid madness and total loss of their mind in this process, Résurrection's residents are addicted to a drug based on black opium. People do not land on Résurrection in the same order that they died (for instance, Requiem died before Otto and Claudia but landed on Résurrection after them).
The hero is a German soldier during World War II named Heinrich Augsburg, who is killed on the Eastern Front facing the Soviet Army. He is sent to Résurrection after his death and is attacked by a mob of zombies. During the confrontation he meets a vampire who calls himself Otto von Todt and befriends him. Otto reveals he is a vampire and explains that now Heinrich has become a vampire as well. As the story progresses, the hero discovers the world of Résurrection, its peoples and politics. He is however only interested in retrieving a woman he loved during his lifetime and who he knows by the name of Rebecca.

AIF Applauds Ruling Upholding DEP Water Standards
Associated Industries of Florida is applauding a ruling by Administrative Law Judge Bram D.E. Canter on Thursday that upheld the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's proposed water standards, known as numeric nutrient rules.
"By doing so, our state is sending a clear message to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the new numeric nutrient criteria rules are ready for implementation," Tom Feeney, AIF president, stated in a release.
"The Florida Legislature and now Judge Canter have confirmed that DEP has set the right course for setting our water quality standards. This is a state issue and should continue to be regulated by the state based on sound science."
The state's proposal, backed by business groups and agricultural interests, has been challenged by five environmental groups.

Great deals and easy to find at North DeKalb Mall. The prices at Burlington are great! I was able to find things for the entire family. It's great that after shopping there are options for lunch in the mall food court, which is convenient while shopping with children.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors. Bargain basement stocks more than 10,000 coats, plus designer clothing, casual and evening wear, shoes, maternity and home accessories.
Amazingly inexpensive and not just coats either.. Don't let the name fool you. Burlington has more than just coats, even if that is their specialty. They carry all kinds of men and women's clothing, home furnishings, fragrances and shoes. The discounts are fantastic (comparable to Walmart or better) and the selection is tremendous. On the downside I have found that I wait for quite awhile in line, but the prices are worth it.

News Glen from Accounting to Retire As a Yankee
Good ole' Glen from accounting, who was slated to retire at the end of the month, announced today that he will sign a one-day contract with the Yankees and retire as a New York Yankee.
Glen has worked in those cubicles over by the men's bathroom for the past 17 years, but he says he has always thought of himself as a Yankee after having an accounting internship with the team in 1971 while he was in college.
"My accounting career has taken me many different places," says Glen. "Hepfer's Waste Management for 12 years, the start-up I joined in the '80s that was going to build flying cars, serving as volunteer treasurer of my son's Little League, and here to this company for the past 17 years. But I always wanted to get back to where it started: in the Bronx as a New York Yankee."
Yankees president Randy Levine says the organization has no record of Glen working for the team "because we didn't keep paperwork on unpaid college interns in the '70s," but will still allow him to retire as a Yankee.
"I don't know why we didn't think of this earlier," said Levine. "We charge a fee Glen is paying $1,500 and let someone say they are a Yankee for 24 hours, well only eight working hours, contractually. And then they're gone. Easy money. We do this for a couple weeks and we'll have enough money to install platinum toilet seats in the luxury box bathrooms."
Glen says he is especially happy about the retirement package the Yankees will give him.
"They're class all the way," he said. "I get a certificate that says 'Congrats, BLANK, on retiring a Yankee.' And also 10-percent off any one box seat ticket to a game against the Orioles and a signed baseball card from Alfredo Aceves."

News Nervous Rookie Pitcher Can't Remember if He Throws Righty or Lefty
Just a day before his scheduled spring training debut, sweat-covered Pirates rookie pitcher Brad Lincoln has announced that he forgets if he uses his right hand or left hand to pitch.
"Dammit, which one is it?" Lincoln said to the press, amidst moments of deep thinking and pretending to throw with both arms.
Lincoln began experiencing problems during a fielding drill where he could not find his glove, which, according to Lincoln, would have been a good indicator of which hand he uses to throw. The problem was only exacerbated by the lack of film room or Internet access in the Pirates' Bradenton training facility.
Despite concerns, Lincoln expressed confidence that he would remember his throwing arm within a timetable of four to six hours he had set for himself, claiming that if he thought about other things, it would probably come to him.
Three days later, Lincoln still finds himself unsure.
Since the initial incident, Lincoln has attempted several different methods of recollection. While in the bathroom this morning, Lincoln reportedly searched his arms for the scar left behind by his 2007 Tommy John surgery, but he claimed there were too many spots on his arm and his shoulder he "couldn't really see." Several teammates confirmed that Lincoln tried on their gloves but complained that a glove on either hand felt fine, and neither was as "uncomfortable" or "weird-feeling" as he hoped. Lincoln even toyed with the idea that he's been ambidextrous the whole time but quickly rejected that notion.
"It's not a good situation," said Pirates manager John Russell. "But it's the kind of thing a lot of young pitchers go through. He's just going to get through it on his own."
According to Lincoln, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance helped him to remember which is his right hand, but it did not help him as far as his pitching arm conundrum.

Hobble Creek Elementary School Carnival
A beautiful fall day. Scores of excited children making happy memories. Friends, neighbors, and volunteers all visiting and working together to support their school. It all came together at Hobble Creek Elementary's Fall Carnival held on Thursday, September 22.
All the elements of a fun school carnival were there. A row of giant bounce features was lined up on the grass drew crowds of children. Traditional games such as ring tosses and bowling tested the skill of young and old alike. Booths for hair extensions and hair feathers were busy, as were the concessions serving snow cones, popcorn, and licorice.
Inside the school, dinner was served in the cafeteria. Dessert was available at a long table of home-baked goods. And a large selection of baskets donated by parents and local businesses was available for silent-auction bidding as well.
Principal Dave Rowe said, "We have outstanding school and community support. Our PTA works hard to put this together, and we have volunteers from our school and the overall community who make it happen. We appreciate them all. We'll do well with this carnival, but most of all, it's a wonderful way to come together at the beginning of a new school year."

"I don't know what I did wrong, but I felt for someone who has never made cheesecake before, that the instructions were not clear enough. For instance, are the wafers supposed to be crumbs or just smal..." See morel pieces? Either way, mine floated to the top. Also, my gas oven usually takes less time to cook, so I have to always adjust the cooking times but with this recipe, how do you know if it's done? When it browns on top? When the fork comes out clean? I had no idea. I used regular cups because I couldn't find the mini ones, and cooked it for 10 minutes, but was unsure if they were done or not so I cooked them another 3 minutes. After they had cooled, they tasted great but the texture was terrible. It was grainy and gel like. I left them in the fridge over night, and it became firmer, but still had the terrible texture. Was this because it wasn't cooked long enough? Over cooked? Or was it because the wafers floated up into the cups and maybe changed the texture? I hate to give this recipe such a poor rating, but the instructions were terrible for someone who has never made cheesecake before. The taste was good though, especially with the "cheesecake" flavored cream cheese."

In four weeks, I've gained 0.8 pounds. Something is off point. I'm not following the plan as it was designed. Not all points are created equal and every bite needs to be tracked. My challenge for this week is to follow the healthy guidelines. This week (minus today) I will do the following each day:
- Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables
- Eat at least 2 servings of lean protein
- East at least 2 servings of milk
- Eat whole grains
- Consume at least 6 8-ounce servings of water
- Consume up to 2 servings of healthy oils
- Take a multi vitamin
- Exercise for at least 30 minutes
- Limit my sodium, sugar, and alcohol intake
According to weight watchers, if I check all of these boxes I will be success in reaching my goals. Let's see it they're right.
Have you ever followed weight watchers? What is your key to successful weight loss?

After a three-month search, members of the community will have a chance to talk with two finalists for the provost position at Montana State University-Northern. Dr. Peter Johnstone will be on campus Wednesday through Friday, and Dr. Stephen Adkison will be here Wednesday, March 31, through Thursday, April 1. Both will interview for the position, speak with college leadership and administration, and tour the campus and the community. A public forum for each will be held, with Johnstone's Thursday at 7 a.m. in the Student Union Building and Adkison's March 31 at 7 a.m., also in the SUB. A search committee began searching for a new provost after Joe Callahan announced his plan last year to retire June 30. "A search like this always takes a lot of time because you want to be very careful and deliberative," said Kathy Jaynes, with Northern's Human Resources department. The search pulled in roughly 70 applicants, she said. "We had a lot of people, and they were from all over the country," she said. "So we were really pleased with the quality of candidates and the number." Johnstone holds a doctorate in law and criminal justice, a bachelor's degree in justice studies and a post-graduate certificate in education. In the more than 20 years he has been in the education field, he has served in numerous offices, including as the deputy chancellor and chief academic officer at Pennsylvania State University's Abington campus and as associate dean at East Carolina University. Adkison has more than 15 years of experience in the academic field and holds a doctorate in English/rhetoric and composition, a master's degree in English/ writing and a bachelor's degree in English/teaching. Most recently he has served as the associate provost/associate vice president for academic programming and review at Idaho State University, where he also held other positions. He has also worked as a writing consultant and graduate teaching fellow, among other things, at the University of Nevada, Reno. The search commitTee is meeting next week and may or may not decide to invite a third finalist to campus, Jaynes said. "That's kind of an unknown at this time," she said. Regardless of how many candidates are interviewed, the goal is to have a new provost on campus June 1, she added, who will oversee everyday academic operations, academic units for the college of education, arts and sciences and nursing and the college of technical sciences, the extended and online portion of programming, graduate programs, as well as oversee the library.

Signing of the 29-year-old Honduran comes as the team gears up for North American Soccer League (NASL) action in April and the grand opening of Toyota Field, the team's new, 8,000-seat home and multi-purpose special-events and entertainment venue.
"Walter is always an attacking threat," said Scorpions Head Coach Tim Hankinson. "With his quickness and one-on-one qualities, he'll present defenders with a handful of problems in 2013."
Before joining the Scorpions last year, Ramirez played for D. D. Vida in Liga Nacional de Honduras and also garnered valuable experience competing for Miami FC of the United Soccer League (USL). He became an anchor in Miami's defensive line, appearing in more than 50 games for the team.
Ramirez, who last season started in 23 of 24 matches played and logged 1,964 minutes, was one of three Scorpions voted to the NASL's Best 11 Team in 2012. His consistent performance helped the Scorpions win the NASL regular-season title. He was the fourth-leading scorer, with 10 points, 2 goals and a team-high 6 assists.
The 2013 team-building process will continue with more player signings in the next few weeks prior to the start of training camp March 1, Hankinson said.
"The Scorpions franchise is unique in that all net profits go to help expand programs and services for the special-needs community through non-profit Morgan's Wonderland, the world's first and only ultra-accessible theme park," said Scorpions President Howard Cornfield.
Sensing an opportunity to benefit Morgan's Wonderland for the long run, San Antonio philanthropist Gordon Hartman three years ago secured an NASL franchise – one rung below Major League Soccer – and launched Soccer for a Cause, a successful campaign to build community support for pro soccer. The Scorpions played their first NASL match April 15, 2012.
