TOLEDO, OHIO (WTOL) - WTOL11 StormTrack 11 Weather team has been certified most accurate in the area. The study was done by WeatheRate, the only independent weather forecast verification company in the nation.
"It's great to be recognized for something that's so important to our viewers," said Chief Meteorologist Robert Shiels. "From tracking snow and severe thunderstorms to tracking how hot your weekend will be, we pride ourselves on bringing Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan the most accurate forecast."
Everyday, WeatheRate reviews the forecast from each local television station to determine whose forecast is most accurate. Through a series of mathematical calculations, WeatheRate determines the best daily, weekly and monthly forecast. They then award that station their exclusive seal of approval.
"The commitment, passion and dedication of Robert Shiels and the StormTrack11 team continues to shine through for our viewers," added CJ Hoyt, News Director for WTOL 11. "It's an honor to have that hard work recognized with this certification."
To create an impartial perspective, WeatheRate funds its own research using Weather Tracker ll, a patented data tracking and analysis system. It is important to note that television stations do not pay to participate in this survey. WeatheRate serves strictly as an impartial, third-party judge.
Bruce Fixman, President of WeatheRate said, "Only a few TV stations can say they've been crowned most accurate by WeatheRate. Congratulations to WTOL 11!"

Endangered Species Alert: Save the Questions, not the Whales
One of the basic social agreements we use to maintain a civil and democratic society is that each citizen has a right and responsibility to raise his or her hand and ask a question. But really, when was the last time you were at a face-to-face gathering of people, raised your hand, and asked a question – in a class, in meetings at work, during the Q&A session of a presentation, at parent-teacher night?
Free speech is not only the first amendment of our country's Constitution, but a big part of American culture that is somewhat endangered. The pure form of the New England town meeting is nearly extinct, and many cultural and civic institutions are being replaced, usurped or virtualized in a world where we now assert our support and criticism with our dollar, our vote, or with our likes, tweets, comments, shares, and forwards.
I can't help but worry about what this does to the opportunities, and our ability and willingness as individuals to ask questions. Do fear and analysis paralysis leave us sitting on our hands, caught up in the art of asking questions, asking ourselves questions about our questions instead of the actual question: Is it the right time? Is it the right question? Do I have the right, the credibility, or the authority to ask this question? Will my question make sense? Do I really know how to ask my question?
Has the veil of anonymity provided by the internet and social media robbed of us of the opportunity, and absolved of us the responsibility to raise our hand, stand up and clearly state "Hello, my name is John Q. Public, from Any town, and I have a question." ?
Many of us first experience this dynamic in the classroom, where we are taught to raise our hands for everything. Raise your hand if you have a question. Raise your hand if you know the answer to the teacher's question. Raise your hand if you need to go to the bathroom. Raise your hand to tell on the kid behind you who's pulling your pigtails. Raise your hand to volunteer to erase the chalkboard. Raising your hand was recognized by the teacher as good behavior, and the hand-raisers with the right answers and good questions are the good students.
Good students of course, grow up to be good employees, good citizens, and good leaders who continue to behave, have the right answers and ask good questions. Right? Yes, but only if given the opportunity, reason, and responsibility to do so.
Raise your hand if you have a question. I realized in 2nd grade that this one seemed to produce an interesting effect on the teacher, and my ability to keep paying attention to the lesson - one that paralleled, if not actually trumped the pleasure of having the correct answer. Asking questions seemed to validate, complement, and actually contribute to Mrs. Warren's teaching, and ability to move the lesson, the conversation if you will, forward in a way that was engaging and interesting for me. Win-win! I got to feed the beast of incessant chatter and questions that dominated my 7 year-old brain, and somehow stay in the good graces of an otherwise hard-to-please teacher.
However a year later the jig was up. My experiment in hustling teachers was abruptly confronted in 3rd grade when the stakes were raised, and everything changed: the Connecticut Mastery Test, the highly anticipated sex-ed talk on the horizon in 4th grade, and the new skills of writing in cursive and doing long division were separating the weak from the strong.
Despite our teachers' insistence that "there are no stupid questions" and "there isn't always one right answer," there were definitive signs of new hierarchies showing up on their faces, in our report cards, and in the reactionary snickering from classroom peanut gallery reactions when you raised your hand and asked a question.
Clearly there were now smart and stupid questions, right and wrong questions, and a growing group of passive, passing students in the middle of the bell curve who didn't raise their hands much at all, only occasionally contributing a question or an answer. I remember wondering, what keeps them from raising their hand?
There's a Chinese Proverb that my grandfather was particularly fond of that says, "He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." Was I fool to take this fortune cookie wisdom and assume that everyone was as willing as I to be a five minute fool? Or is it the fear of being labeled the smart or stupid student that keeps us from asking questions?
Fast forward to my work today working for The Connecticut Forum, facilitating a youth development program for high school students, called the YOUTH Forum. The quick and dirty version I often use to respond to people who ask me what I do is saying, "I encourage high school students listen, think, and ask questions". Admittedly, I judge the success of a YOUTH Forum meeting in part on number of hands raised and questions asked.
As facilitators we pose questions to the students as conversation prompts, with the hope that our questions are catalysts for sharing and listening that inspires them to start asking questions of themselves and one another. Moderators for The Connecticut Forum's topical panel discussions among celebrities and experts do the same thing – ask questions that provoke, inspire, and invite more.
iGen is consuming information and entertainment at an unprecedented rate and volume. At the same time there is increasing pressure to excel, with decreasing time spent on asking questions beyond those that generate the right answer. What kind of future are we building if asking questions is not a key piece of what we teach young people in school and by our actions as adults? Asking questions is part of being brave, part of critical thinking, part of citizenship, part of leadership.
These days, the opportunity and responsibility to raise your hand before asking a question may vary depending on your lifestyle or occupation, but if you really thought about it, how often do you ask questions? How do you feel when you have a question? Do you raise your hand and ask it in front of the group? Or do you just murmur it to the person next to you, have a private chuckle or eye roll, and keep it to yourselves?
I assert that it is not just our right but it is our responsibility to ask questions, to contribute, to move the conversation forward. From American Idol to the Republican debates, we're getting awfully good at judging, criticizing, and making people right or wrong from the comfort of our couches, anonymity of our online avatars, and support of our water cooler commentary.
Let's balance this equation and ask more questions of ourselves and one another. Mean it when you say, "Let me know if you have any questions" at the end of an email, or default to leaving space for Q&A at the end of a meeting agenda.
Ask questions that you think you know the answer to. Ask questions when you have no idea what the answer will be. You don't know what you don't know until you know, and therefore don't even know what to ask in the first place. Ask anyway. Even loaded questions, hypothetical questions can add momentum, fuel to the fire, and move things forward.
Any questions? Please raise your hand.

Poor Julius Francis. He would be crushed to know that Abraham Lincoln's birthday still isn't a national holiday.
While many states, including Illinois, have declared Lincoln's Feb. 12 birthday a holiday, the federal government has never declared a national holiday for Springfield's greatest legacy.
Most people think President's Day in February was designated to honor George Washington and Lincoln, but noooo. According to the federal government's usa.gov, "Washington's birthday is observed the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington … this date is commonly called President's Day and many groups honor the legacy of past presidents on this date."
In other words, honor whomever you like that day, but it's really for George.
Buffalo, N.Y., druggist Julius Francis devoted his life to changing that. "He was a hero worshipper and Lincoln was his hero," stated an article in the 1902 Publication of the Buffalo Historical Society (BHS). Francis' efforts made him a "local legend," says BHS Curator of Collections Walter Mayer.
In the 1860s, Francis, a bachelor, traveled the country acquiring Civil War memorabilia. "These items would be very insignificant if they weren't connected to a Civil War battlefield," Mayer says. They include a shell casing from Gettysburg, a bent canteen from Antietam, a piece of the Monitor — a U.S. ironside battleship — and about 100 other ephemera.
According to a book about Francis' collection, "The Lincoln Memorial Collection," he spent five years gathering these items, as well as newspapers chronicling the war and signatures of Civil War veterans and government officials — 11,822 of them (Mayer doesn't think Lincoln's signature is among them). No one knows how much these travels cost.
Francis spent even more money having three ornate wooden cases built to house the collection. One case alone cost $1,500 — in 19th century dollars.
Today, no one knows why he was so passionate about the Civil War or Lincoln. We get a hint from "The Lincoln Memorial Collection," which quoted a minister saying Francis wanted to "show how much our civil liberties have cost us."
Man on a mission
At some point, Francis decided that amassing Civil War memorabilia and signatures wasn't enough. He had to commemorate Lincoln. Making his birthday a national holiday became "his wife and his life," according to the Western New York Heritage Press website.
It was an expensive spouse.
He created the Lincoln Birthday Association in Buffalo and got 50 people to sign a request to Congress that Lincoln's birthday be declared a national holiday. It was "drawn on parchment, backed with blue silk, with 50 white stars, and fine needlework border, inserted in a folding case of French walnut, and enclosed in (a) Russian leather case," according to the 1902 BHS publication.
Page 2 of 2 - When Buffalo's congressman laid it before the U.S. speaker of the House in 1873, the speaker said: "Whoever put that tablet there, take it away, as it is in gross violation of the rules of the House," reported the Washington Star, whose article was reprinted in the Dec. 31, 1873, Illinois State Register. The Star snarked: "(The "tablet") will make an ornament for the committee room, at all events …." Congress never acted on the request.
Undeterred, Francis formed an "alternate" Lincoln birthday association in Buffalo — this one for "young" men, which resubmitted the plea to Congress. But even younger men couldn't get Congress' ear.
So the hero worshipper commemorated Lincoln in his own way. Beginning in 1874, Francis paid for a bash in Buffalo on Lincoln's birthday with decorations, music and speakers. "The celebrations (one in the afternoon, another in the evening) were free to all and a crowded house was always the result," according to The Lincoln Memorial. This Lincoln fan also lined up speakers and asked writers to pen poems for the occasion. "They would meet and there would be an elaborate ceremony around the large cases (of his collection) that was basically a shrine to Lincoln and the Civil War," Mayer says.
Francis also visited Buffalo schools and made sure they honored Lincoln on his birthday. He had cards specially printed and sent to every pupil for the occasion.
All of these Lincoln day commemorations cost Francis about $20,000 between 1863 and his death in 1881, according to the 1902 BHS publication. That roughly equals $500,000 today.
When he died, Francis left nearly everything, including $10,000, to his Lincoln Birthday Association. The group used it to commission a bronze statue of Lincoln. Today it sits on the Buffalo Historical Society museum's back steps.
Francis never saw his dream realized. We may not either. But Buffalo still holds an annual ceremony marking Lincoln's birthday. Because of this druggist's dream, Buffalo boasts of hosting the longest running celebration of Lincoln's birthday in the country.

CHICAGO Ormet Corp. and utility American Electric Power Co. (AEP) are at loggerheads over a power deal for the bankrupt aluminum producer. The Columbus, Ohio-based utility accuses Ormet of reneging on a contract, while Ormet contends that AEPs objections to proposed changes to its power rates or power provider could jeopardize its ability to operate as a going concern, according to court documents filed this week in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. The two sides even disagree on whether their current agreement constitutes a contract, according to the documents. A hearing is scheduled for July 16, according to a court order signed July 10 by U.S. bankruptcy judge Mary F. Walrath. ....

Chicago Fashion Week kicked off Tuesday night with a runway fashion show in downtown Chicago.
Glitz and glamour always surround a fashion show, but Chicago Fashion Week isn't striving to be like the high-end celebrity-magnet fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan, or Paris.
"We invite people from the public to come to our fashion shows which is very unusual," Ysaguirre says. "In most of the cities, you can't get ticket to a fashion event."
Angel Ysaguirre works for Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, which is hosting the five day event. He says the city has two main goals. The first is to support local emerging designers.
Tuesday night's kick-off showcased some of the best Chicago has to offer, including the latest designs by Maria Pinto. The native Chicagoan was thrust onto the world stage after Michelle Obama wore several of her dresses.
"I think being in Chicago as an artist, the community really supports everyone who live and work here, so I think by bringing more attention to the emerging designers, giving them a chance to have exposure certainly helps everyone," Pinto says.
Pinto just re-launched a new brand M20-57 by Maria Pinto through a Kick Starter campaign. She contemplated making her comeback in New York, but she is here to stay.
Designer Shernett Swaby launched her label in Chicago four years ago.
"The city is so hungry for fashion, you actually get a chance," adds Swaby. "They want to see your work. In New York, there are too many designers there, you get lost so quickly."
Ysaguirre says the second goal is to have Chicago Fashion Week appeal to all kinds of consumers and not just the big spenders. One series of fashion shows will focus on larger women.
"Chicago has the largest market for shoppers of color, so African-American women and Latinas spend more money in fashion in Chicago than in any other city," Ysaguirre says. "So, we need to tap into those customers."
Ysaguirre expects Chicago Fashion Week to take on a personality of its own. He says there are several things that make Chicago Fashion Week unique: it's support of local designers, organizers actually going out and finding emerging designers to showcase from the four Chicago design schools, and it's showcasing of men's fashion. There are many fashion events catering to the male audience and that is not common.
The fashion shows begins Wednesday and runs through Friday evening at Millennium Park. They are free to get in, however, you do have to get a ticket.

Paul Kevin Curtis: Mississippi man in ricin letter probe released on bond
A Mississippi man charged with sending toxic letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator was released from jail on Tuesday, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was released on bond, Jeff Woodfin, chief deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service in Oxford, Mississippi, told Reuters.
His release came as court documents showed that a judge indefinitely postponed a hearing on his detention scheduled for Tuesday, but the charges against Curtis had not been dropped.
The U.S. attorney handling the case, William Chadwick Lamar, declined to comment.
Curtis was arrested last Wednesday at his home in Corinth, Mississippi. He was charged with mailing letters to Obama, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi and a state judge containing a substance that preliminarily tested positive for ricin, a highly lethal poison made from castor beans.
The letters were intercepted by authorities before they reached their destinations.
Over the weekend, investigators searched Curtis' home, his vehicle and his ex-wife's home, but failed to find any incriminating evidence, one of his defense lawyers, Christi McCoy, told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.
The poison scare put Washington on edge during the same week the Boston Marathon bombings occurred.
Curtis, known in Mississippi as an Elvis impersonator, was held in the Lafayette County Detention Center prior to his release. He was charged with threatening to harm Obama and using the mail to make other threats.
In a statement last week, his family said they had not been shown any evidence of the charges against him, but added that Curtis suffers from a long history of mental illness.
Type written on yellow paper, the three letters contained the same eight-line message, according to an affidavit from the FBI and the Secret Service filed in court.
"Maybe I have your attention now / Even if that means someone must die," the letters read in part, according to the affidavit. The letters ended: "I am KC and I approve this message."
The initials "KC" led law enforcement officials to ask Wicker's staff if they were aware of any constituents with those initials and the focus of the investigation then turned to Curtis, the affidavit said.
If convicted, Curtis could face maximum penalties of 15 years in prison and $500,000 in fines plus three years of supervised release.
Another of Curtis' attorneys, Philip Halbert Neilson, said that, although his client was released on bond it was not immediately clear if charges against him would be dropped.
"I think it would be premature for me to say at this time," Neilson said, when asked whether he anticipated the dropping of charges.
"We're certainly hoping so and we're certainly working toward that. We are absolutely certain our client is innocent of all charges."
Neilson said he and McCoy were planning to hold a news conference later Tuesday.

Everyone knows how dangerous a rushing river can be. Shannon Christy knew it, too. Christy, from Andrews, NC, drowned while practicing for a kayak race on the Potomac River north of Washington D.C. Thursday. She and her friend, Chuck Thornton went over the falls and fell out of their kayaks. Thornton clung to rocks as he watched Christy remove her life vest so she could swim to the Maryland shore. He then saw her go down one of the "fingers," the rockiest and most dangerous part of the falls. That was the last Thornton saw Christy alive. Once Thornton was rescued the search for Christy's body began. The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Squad watched as a group of professional kayakers risked their lives to retrieve Christy's body from beneath the surface where she was pinned. Christy was signed up to participate in the Great Falls Race, which was set for Saturday, July 13. The race is known for its difficulty with Class V rapids and has an incredible drop of over 50 feet in just one minute, according to the American Whitewater Association. The race was cancelled in the wake of the tragedy, but kayakers gathered in the river on Saturday morning to grieve Christy's death. Although Shannon will always be known for her lack of fear and love of water, her positivity and faith seem to be what resonates as many remember her. Her last Facebook post on the day she died was a picture of her registration for the Great Falls Race. Under her bio she says "I just really like smiling, it's my favorite." On Friday, her father, Lee Christy, posted:"Though we will miss her immensely, we feel blessed that God graced us with 23 years of Shannon's beautiful smile and winning personality. My wish is; that Shannon impacted your life as much as ours!"

The Sprinkle Bakes Sixlets CakeCake:2 boxes white cake mix2 cups all-purpose flour2 cups granulated sugar1 ½ tsp salt2 2/3 cups water1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tsp real vanilla2 tsp almond extract2 cups (16 oz) sour cream8 large egg whites ½ tsp Wilton sky blue food coloring¾ cup multicolored jimmies (the kind you find in the ice cream section of the grocery store will hold up well in the batter)2 lbs. Sixlets candiesVarious and sundry sprinkles of your choosing for the top of the cake Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Grease five 7-inch cake pans and line with parchment. You may also choose to use four 9" cake pans.
Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir together with a wire whisk. Add the remaining ingredients and beat on a low speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Remove 6 cups of batter and tint with the sky blue food coloring. Add the multicolored jimmies to the blue batter and fold gently to combine.
Pour batter in pans, alternating blue and white batters. Pull a knife or skewer through the batter to create a swirl. Bake cakes for 40 -50 minutes, or until cake springs back when pressed in the middle.
Icing:8 egg whites1 cup sugarPinch of salt32 tbsp. (1 lb. or 4 US sticks) unsalted butter, cubed2 tsp. clear vanilla extractSet a saucepan filled 1/3 full of water over medium high heat and bring to a simmer.
Whisk together egg whites, sugar and salt in a heat-proof bowl. Set over simmering water and whisk until mixture is hot and sugar has dissolved.
Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
Beat on low speed for 2 minutes, then increasing to medium-high until stiff peaks are formed.
Continue beating at medium-high speed until mixture is fluffy and has cooled.
Remove whisk attachment and replace with paddle attachment
Decrease mixer speed and add butter, a little at a time, beating until well incorporated before the next addition.
Add vanilla extract.
Beat until icing is smooth. Increase speed if icing is slow to firm.
AssemblyIcecakes and stack them, making sure the edges are as even as possible. Apply an even coating of icing to the outside of the stacked cakes using an off-set spatula, filling any gaps and crevices.
Starting at the bottom of the cake, gently push sixlets into the icing. Create a line of alternating colors (or use a solid color, your choice!) To achieve the graduated swirl, use colors in the same order on the second line, but move the first color over one space to the right. Continue this pattern all the way up the cake. By the time you're done, (about 1 hour 20 minutes) you'll be in a hypnotic state from applying sixlets sprinkles. This process is very meditative – enjoy the zen!
Sprinkle the top of the cake with various and sundry. Add a sparkler if you're into pyrotechnics…which I certainly am!
OMG!!! I want it, I want it, I want it:D

Original Message
From book: "I have lived before" by Sture Lonnerstrand
Quotations from the Bible
Several Bible quotations indicate the the belief in reincarnation, at the time when Jesus appeared on earth, was generally accepted among the Jews. Here are several quotations:
Jesus asked his disciples: "Who do men say that I, the son of Man, am?" (Matthew 16:13)
The disciples answered: "Some say that you are John the Baptist: some Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets."
If it was not for the fact that reincarnation was generally accepted in the Jewish culture, Jesus would hardly have asked the question in that manner.
Observe that Jesus asked who the people believed he was, not if he had lived before. He took for granted that everyone knew about prior lifetimes.
Another famous remark (John 15:17) which is ascribed to Jesus is as follows:
"You shall bear witness for you have been with me from the beginning."
The beginning must have been alluded to the first words in the Bible, "In the beginning..." It was a question of a rather long period of time.
In another passage (John 9:2), the disciples asked Jesus:
"Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
This question implies, that for the disciples it was quite natural that the man had been inflicted with a handicap due to the fact that he had sinned in an earlier life. It could not have happened in the present incarnation, as he had been blind since birth.
St. Clement of Alexandria stated that the teachings of reincarnation had been authorized by the apostle Paul himself. In a letter to the Galatians (Galatians 6:7) Paul says:
"Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Paul knew that everything a person sows during an earthly life cannot possibly be reaped during the same lifetime. Sometimes God mills grind slowly
Paul's successors have not, as far as is known, ever questioned the Law regarding sowing and reaping, or the Law of consequences, as it is called.
However, to this day, one has apparently overlooked the fact that Karma and Reincarnation are two sides of the same coin. Reincarnation is not possible without karma and karma cannot function without reincarnation.
There are other places in the New Testament as well as in the Old Testament that suggest reincarnation but they are less known
Elijah and John the Baptist
The Bible's prime example regarding the truth of reincarnation is clearly shown by Jesus himself. The Old Testament and the New Testament come together in an extremely interesting manner when the prophet Elijah, who according the account in the Old Testament (II Kings 2:11) "... went up to heaven in a chariot of fire." (Malachi 4:5)
The New Testament attaches great importance to the question regarding the rebirth of Elijah and has consequently, taken up the subject in several places:
In (Luke 1:17) "Elijah's spirit and power" is talked about, which in the body of John the Baptist would come before the Lord.
In the gospel according to Mark (Mark 9:11) the disciples ask: "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" Jesus answers them that Elijah would indeed come first to restore all things (Mark 9:12)
In Matthew (17:12) Jesus is quoted as saying: "But I tell you that Elijah has already come..." "Then disciples understood that it was John the Baptist he was speaking to them about. (Matthew 17:13)"
In Matthew (11:14-15) Jesus is clear as crystal about the baptist's earlier identity. "And if you are willing to accept it,
he is ELIJAH
, the one who has come." He then adds so that there can be no doubt about it:"Whoever has ears ought to hear."
Can it be said more clearly?
Jesus has with all these words, once and for all established the truth of reincarnation.
"Whoever has ears out to hear!"
The teachings of reincarnation, although still rejected, are nonetheless an important part of Christian heritage, a cornerstone of original Christianity, and a basis of original picture of Christianity throughout the world- in a similar manner that the belief in reincarnation has always been in the oriental religions.
It's important to ascertain that the belief is repeated earthly lives is in no way in conflict with central Christian motives. Its more likely that the teaching of reincarnation strengthens the Christian message, making it more complete, more genuine and more credible.
Many people have wondered how it is possible that Jesus, Christianity's central figure, can still be denied and be so fragrantly misunderstood by his own followers, by his own churches regarding such an important and fundamental question concerning what happens to us when we die.
Its an enigma which remains unsolved."

There's never too little to write about when it comes to the Blackstone Valley region and the indoor track & field state championships.
This weekend's meet, however, may border on the ridiculous. In fact, when it comes to its conclusion roughly four hours after its early 10 o'clock start on Saturday morning, there's a good chance I'll develop a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Patty Schemel discusses life, near-death story in 'Hit So Hard'
When Patty Schemel brought a box of videotapes over to the house of P. David Ebersole, she thought she was just going to be digitizing the footage that she shot while playing drums for the band Hole.
"While we were dubbing everything, David would ask, 'What's going on here?'" Schemel recounts, "And then he made the comment that this was a really great story and that I should do something with it."
Ebersole was right on both counts. The footage in their new film, "Hit So Hard" catalogs the stormy weather of being in a rock band and includes rare eye-of-the-hurricane moments with Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. As for the "do something with it" part, under Ebersole's direction, Schemel unravels a dark thread of her descent into drug addiction and eventual redemption.
"I hadn't seen a lot of it in so long and so every day I would leave there with a real heaviness," says Schemel, who has been clean and sober for seven years. What hits so hard about "Hit So Hard" isn't just the drugs and deaths they led to, but also the ugliness of the music industry. At one point, she is forced out of the band because a producer doesn't want her playing on "Celebrity Skin," Hole's follow-up to their breakthrough "Live Through This" album. When it comes time to filming the video for the first single, they recruit a look-alike to play drums.
"I remember being so out of it at the time, I was like, 'Really? Maybe I was there!'"
She's exaggerating. Schemel seems to approach her past with a healthy perspective. She has been on the cover of Rol-ling Stone and she has lived on the streets, but she seems to be living very much in the moment. She also retains a solidarity with her former bandmates, all of whom appear in the film.
In interview portions, Courtney Love is candid about the chain of events, even placing some of the blame on herself for Schemel's departure.
"I think she trusts that I'm not gonna screw her over," says Schemel.
About a girl
The previously unseen footage of Kurt Cobain is one of the most exciting aspects of "Hit So Hard." Schemel was initially going to play drums for Nirvana before Cobain auditioned Dave Grohl. But the two remained close, and he was the one who suggested that she play for his wife's band. Ebersole says this Cobain was a surprise to see on film.
"The vision I had of him before I saw this footage was that he was just in this tortured mode, sitting in a corner, shot up with heroin and waiting to die," he says. "But he was a really full person who was creative and loved, and you get to see such a different side because of this."

It's safe to say the Homewood-Flossmoor girls basketball team is more than familiar with the Lincoln-Way East squad.
The two teams have met twice already this season, with the home team winning each game. Lincoln-Way East recorded a 47-40 victory over the Vikings on Dec. 15th in Frankfort.
H-F was able to return the favor on Jan. 26th, 50-45, in Flossmoor. Tonight, they will meet in a Class 4A Sandburg Sectional semifinal game, with even more at stake than a rival's bragging rights.
"I know the H-F girls team is very excited about this," Vikings guard Lauren Parker said. "We're basically rivals so we have to win again to prove our point that we can win against them. The second time, winning against them was not a mistake. We can do it again."
The Vikings and Griffins believe they are evenly matched teams, with the postseason game going a long way to crowning one team's supremacy over the other.
"We are evenly matched," Parker said. "We have to find their weaknesses and we know what players to look out for. We just have to play hard. It's going to be a close game so that's all we can do is play hard."
Parker will be a big part of H-F's success -- or lack thereof -- in the sectional. The junior guard said that communication and hard work will be key factors if her team hopes to advance to Thursday's sectional final.
"We need to work hard and we need to talk," Parker said. "We know that it's going to be one of the biggest games of our season, and that's our biggest opponent right now. So we agree that no matter what we should stick together and work hard."
Vikings senior point guard Danielle Woolfolk has battled back injuries this season, so Parker and her teammates are aware they may have to step up their game.
"Our point guard is hurt right now," Parker said. "We all know what we have to do. We all have to do our job and work together and we will succeed. That's what we talked about and that's our goal, to work together at all times."
"I know that should be a pretty good game," Parker said of the other playoff game. "I think it will be a very close game with Marian being shooters and with Marist having fast guards and a tall post that can score in the paint."

Why Costco Is a Great Stock to Own
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Costco (NASDAQ: COST) recently announced its operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, ended November 25. Net sales for the quarter increased 10%, to $23.20 billion from $21.18 billion during the first quarter last year. Net income for the quarter increased 30%, to $416 million or $.95 per diluted share, from $320 million or $.73 per diluted share, last year.
The company has been maintaining profitability in good times and bad. Its ability to scale down costs when needed makes its business fairly resilient. Shares of the company have been in a major uptrend for the past two-and-half years. Since hitting a low of $51.96 in June 2010, the stock has nearly doubled. I expect this uptrend to continue going forward, because I feel Costco's unique revenue model will be a strong source of cash generation and value creation for its shareholders.
Costco's Unique Revenue Model
Issaquah-based Costco operates membership warehouses that offer a selection of branded and private label products in a range of merchandise categories in no-frills, self-service warehouse facilities. Almost all of its revenues directly come from membership fees. Membership fees are paid up front, and membership renewal rates are consistently above 85%.
Costco reported a 14.3% jump in revenue from membership fees, helping to boost its fiscal first-quarter profit by 30%. Deutsche Bank analyst Charles Grom projected 17% growth in membership-fee revenue. He described Costco's performance as solid, especially considering "today's choppy retail environment."
Costco: A Perfect Blend of Value and Growth
Costco's ROIC vs. Peers: Costco's ROIC (return on invested capital), a measure to understand how efficiently the company is using capital, is on a strong growth path. While Costco's performance on the capital front is slightly worse than Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) in absolute terms, it's far better than another rival, Target (NYSE: TGT). However, in relative terms, Costco's ROIC has been most impressive since the last one year, as it's growing at a faster pace than that of its peers. With a 3-year average operating income growth of 15.79%, Costco's ROIC has been a solid source of cash generation and value creation.
COST Return on Invested Capital data by YCharts
Costco's Revenue per Share vs. Peers: Costco's Revenue per Share remains at a higher level than that of both Wal-Mart and Target. Along with an impressive revenue growth, Costco's bottom-line is expected to improve significantly going forward.
COST Revenue Per Share TTM data by YCharts
Key Drivers for the Stock
Economic slowdown: The biggest driver for the stock is the ongoing worldwide economic slowdown. During recessionary periods consumers tend to cut back on expenses. As a result, they turn to low-cost retailers like Costco for buying.
The company sells its products like food and gasoline at cost. Costco can do this because it derives all of its profits from membership fees. The CEO of the company had kept his faith in low pricing.
International expansion: Costco currently operates 621 warehouses, including 448 in North America. However, having warehouse facilities in only 169 locations in the rest of the world, the company is just in the early stages of its international growth. For fiscal 2013, Costco plans to open as many as 30 new stores, nearly twice as many as last year. The company also operates Costco Online.
Continued membership retention: Costco charges a $55 annual membership fee to all of its customers. Raising the membership fee could result in a fall in retention rates below the historic 85% level. If the company is able to maintain a stable retention rate going forward, investors will feel confident.
Downside Risk: Costco's Debt
Costco is paying a special dividend of $7 per share this month ahead of higher tax rates that may kick in come January. The company is selling $3.5 billion in debt to cover the cost of the special dividend. Costco will sell $1.2 billion in senior notes due in December 2015, $1.1 billion in notes due in December 2017, and $1.2 billion due in December 2019.
Fitch Ratings said that it lowered Costco's issuer default rating one notch to "A+" from "AA-" because of the debt the company is taking on. But "A+" is still considered an above-average, investment-grade rating. Costco's exposure to this debt may worry some investors. "The company has access to a fairly cheap debt and we want to capitalize on it", Costco's CFO Richard Galanti said.
Costco's Relative Valuation
Given Costco's better growth prospects, its stock enjoys a premium in terms of PE multiple among its peers.
(Data Source: Morningstar)
Costco is trading at a forward PE of 18.9, whereas Wal-Mart has a forward PE of 12.3 and Target has a forward PE of 11.6. It's clear from the table presented above why Costco trades with such a higher PE multiple.
Despite having a relatively rich multiple on its stock, Costco remains a strong buy at the current price. With a limited downside, the stock is expected to appreciate significantly over the medium to long term to catch up with its strong fundamentals.

Our family will DEFINITELY be taking advantage of this! Yay!
EDIT: Saw this article regarding the deal for Disneyland: http://www.just-spotted.com/2009/01/disney-salutes-armed-forces.html
One more thing - other articles I've read say that the tickets ARE park-hoppers, but you can't add-on the "no expiration" option. And, there are discounts available for companion tickets.
This is GREAT news!!!
Military is a different class of citizen and deserve all that is given. Other than "LEACHING" off of this country by the fact that you were born here, what have "YOU DONE" to keep this country safe over the last 7 years since we were attacked? What have "YOU DONE" to promote freedom and democracy? Have you risked your life? When you "actually do something", such as spend years away from your family or risk your life and not just be lucky enough to be born here, than you can criticize. At this point, you are no different than a leach, feeding off of the accomplishments of the military.
