My husband and I loved this film. It was so funny and smart at the same time. Yes it has some toilet humor in it, but so what? And who knew what a lovely actress Kristien Wiig can be. The whole cast was terrific. A fun fun movie.

We returned from today's matinee and thoroughly enjoyed this film as did the audience. A simplistic review would call it the female version of 'The Hangover' but that's overlooking a lot. A talented cast makes the most of the raunchy material and the themes of true friendship and rivalry among new friends. If you don't like raunchy comedies, and you aren't used to seeing women cussing and doing gross stuff, avoid it. Superficial comparisons to a so-called masterpiece 'Rachel Getting Married' are meaningless since that one is a drama about enablers with minmal humor while 'Bridesmaids' is a broad comedy with its serious message of friendship shining through the jokes and slapstick. Cut yourself some slack and be prepared for some good laughs.

We went looking for a good laugh, the kind where you can't catch your breath. Based on so many positive reviews of this movie, it seemed like a reasonable expectation. But, NO, what we got was a movie that never really got off the ground in the land of laughs. There were a few snickers in the audience, but mostly just silence with occasional groans. I like Kristin Wigg on SNL so was expecting to enjoy this movie. I don't mind gross out scenes either. But this movie does not deliver on the expectations established by so many positive reviews. It was strained; it went for the cheap laugh; and it dragged on. I am still trying to understand why so many gave this two thumbs up.

It was depressing, and the ending was terrible, and made no sense. Some jokes were funny, but that's about it.

I was exhausted from laughing after the movie. That's really all I have to say. Maybe NYT readers are just more uptight than I expected, judging from the many 1-star reviews here. If that describes you, skip it.

I don't much like rom com as a genre and it takes something really special to sway me to the light. I always come out thinking my IQ has dropped 10 points. I had high hopes for Bridesmaids as the reviews were excellent, so I was expecting something smart and classy. Sadly, I found the heroine maddening and stupid. It was hard to identify with her or enjoy a story about behaviors that seemed to cross some invisible line into insanity. Her meltdown at the bridal shower was unrealistic and bizarre. All that said, my friend who saw it with me loved it.

Wow it's great and unusual to have a hilarious well-made movie about full-character women!! I laughed so hard. Thankfully, this isn't a sistahood movie, it's about real women. Warning, don't eat much before hand, cuz it was hard to laugh so hard about food poisoning without fear of losing my lunch!

Loved the movie to bits after two friends tried to dissuade me.
It was a true LOL ,without splitting the sides or choking.

Early as it may be, a good start to the movie summer. Banal at times but as others have noted, if it wasn't a chick flick not a word would have been uttered.
Can we now expect more of Ms Wiig? She was almost unrecognizable (after so long on SNL), in a good way, at times.
I think a few of the didn't-appreciate comments might have been tempered if a good 20 minutes was clipped from the final version. I'm sure I could to it. Didn't know how long it was going but but sure knew it leaving. Would've helped keep those laughs rolling.
What's next?

How, how, how could you focus so much on the refreshing aspects of a movie centered on women which avoids stereotypes without mentioning Jill Clayburgh, no makeup or plastic surgery, perfectly and cleverly cast as Wiig's mother? She was so real and understated it was a total delight. This was her last role before she died. The scene where Wiig unexpectedly hugs her is so touching and meaningful--was there some implied recognition of Clyburgh's groundbreaking role in An Unmarried Woman? Talk about a film that deflated stereotypes--the first film I ever saw that graphically showed a woman throwing up and being handled like a toy by a man. Maybe I'm getting sentimental, but I saw a lot of meaning in Clayburgh's presence in this film.

This was ABSOLUTELY the worst movie I have seen in a very long time. So disgusting and degrading. Several people walked out - as did I. What is happening to this country - when the "F" bomb lands over 100 times, kids say it to their parents and parents say it to their kids, sex is basically in every conversation (or at least implied) how is this ENTERTAINING??? What is wrong with you people that think THIS is entertainment????? It was horrible. It got ranked a 5 on my rating BY ACCIDENT. If I could have not selected a rating - or given it a NEGATIVE rating, I would have.

I had heard virtually nothing about this movie and was so pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable it was. I can truly say it is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. I was expecting a typical American romcom movie with Katherine Heigl-type actresses - one dimentional, little depth, limited acting ability with a poorly written script. These women portray life in many of its ups and downs (the script was extremely well written and the actresses amazing). It encompasses life with respects to old friends, new friends, love, trying to love yourself, trying to find and keep your passion with work and life, kind men, cold men who treat you with as much respect as you - unfortunately - think you deserve. It was tremendously humorous and touching in many places. I loved it to bits. The swearing didn't worry me at all, that's life - people swear - no big deal. This movie portays the life of a 30 something single woman who is going through some hard (yet very funny) times. This is life, sometimes it not all love and roses. Sometimes life is just hard. And sometimes we can look back at things that have happened and still find the humour in even the darkest of hours. I think any woman who is still trying to find themselves, their passion, their love of life will find this movie heartwarming and endearing (yet at times uncomfortably 'too close to home'!). Well done Hollywood for finally giving us a fabulous movie, that even an Australian girl living on the other side of the world can relate to, laugh and cry with. And I loved the ending. My beautiful 30-something girlfriends I saw this movie with loved it all too!

Bridesmaids is quite a good movie. I hope Rose Byrne wins an award for something. However,the barfing could've been left out. The humor isn't inappropriate-it's original,funny and makes sense.

I haven't laughed so hard for a long long time. Sure it was raunchy but the beauty of the comedy was not in the bathroom humour (in an very literal sense) but how expectations were constantly overturned. Just when I thought I knew how a scene was going to end the rug was pulled out from under me and I was blindsided. In a funny sort of way it reminded me of 'My Best Friend's Wedding' and the parallels between Julia Robert's character and Kristen Wiig's characters are striking. Both are confronted with a situation where they think they have the power but they learn to grow in another way. And as raunchy as the film is (courtesy of Mr Apatow I'm sure) the film doesn't sacrifice its tenderness for the women and how they feel about their female friends and their potential new boyfriends and their cute puppies!

Absolute waste of time. It takes sophmoric to even lower depths. On the other hand, if you're looking for vomit, excrement and cliche thrown in a blender then go for it.

I love Woody Allen, the young Allen that is. He's stuck in the bourgeoisie, missing the fact that not much that is interesting comes from that class. He might as well be a character in Bunuel's movie - playing as a bourgeois director.

I was told by many, "You must see Bridesmaids, it is hiralious." I didn't find it hiralious at all, but rather unfunny and sophomoric. I wish I could get my money back.
— bailindsey, Oakland, CA
July 5th, 201112:01 pm
A very quirky reviewer. "Giddy, liberating humor" she writes. Actually, very sophomoric, low-grade funny, unworthy of the mostly talented cast who deserved a better script.
By now I should know that Ms. Dargis has a unique, peculiar take on things and is essentially a contrarian..
— Howard Stevens, NYC

After about 90 minutes into this movie, my wife and I finally gave up and walked out. My wife wanted to leave after the first half hour. This is about as bad a movie as we have ever seen, and we go often. I think this is only the second movie for which we ever left early. The NY Times reviewed should be ashamed for recommending this film.

There was so much brouhaha about this new movie Bridesmaids showing how women could also be vulgar and unsophisticated and dirty – they said women could be funny. So we went to see it in a second run theater (good heavens we did not pay full price for this). What a big pile of nonsense. In America sometimes a small thing (women = funny) may elicit a long article somewhere. Well, women can be vulgar and primitive (in Hollywood they call it funny) but this does not mean we have a movie worth seeing. The entire film did not seem more like a series of TV sketches stitched together. And some of these sketches were way too long, Like the one in which Byrne tells Wiig that she has food poisoning and Wiig denies it while getting sweaty. The back and forth of this scene is ridiculously unfunny and pointless. Only one actress was funny (McCarthy), but I also liked Byrne's acting very much, she played it straight. The end of this movie is very Almodóvar, no matter how much your life and personality is a mess, you may have the right to be happy – and with puppies. Hollywood puts puppies on the screen and asumes that all problems go away. The movie is still a stinker.

July 13th, 20116:40 pm
I loved it, and am surprised at seeing all the reviewers who didn't. It was hilarious, nearly from start to finish (e.g. Annie having to constantly explain that she wasn't with the random men standing at her side). The one time I really cringed was the toast-giving at the engagement party, and my husband loved the toilet humor a lot more than I did, but we both walked out of the theater smiling, feeling that our money had been well spent. I definitely plan on watching it again.
— Kirstin, Durham, NC
July 18th, 20119:13 am
I dispair - if this movie is typical of the entertainment being offered on the big screen, I might as well pack up and go back to the third world where at least a sense of decency prevails. I walked out after 30 minutes.
The NYT arts & movie reviewers need a shake up!
— Nat Chandley, Florida

This could be the perfect movie for you. And now that it's out in on DVD, VOD and possible IUD, you might be tempted to watch it. The short answer would be DON"T!!!!! But if you meet ANY the following criteria it just might be what the doctor ordered.
* You're in jail (or perhaps hospice.) And wasting two hours and five minutes of your time is not that big a deal.
* You are taking a 4+ hour flight to Las Vegas. If you are, then the portion of the movie that takes place on a flight to Vegas will throw you into a time warp, making it seem like the movie is actually longer the flight, and your real flight will appear to be quick in comparison.
* You have the IQ of a baked potato (though you still won't find it funny, just endurable.)
* You liked the movie Showgirls because you found it empowering to women.
* You were already planning to kill yourself.
If you don't meet the above criteria, then save yourself the aggravation. This is not the worst movie ever made. But you would be hard pressed to find a movie that is so bad in so many ways.

Posssibly....no change that to absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen. Believe me I have seen several, from all over the world. What is with you people? I guess the recession is so bad that anything seems fun compared to your reality!
My advice....go after the bankers/corporates. They own the Government and they own you. $ 2 trillion is sitting on their balance sheets.... None of which is ever going to be invested in your country

Our Perspective
Innovation or Extinction
The business lifecycle is getting shorter and shorter. To the organizations that thrive, innovation isn't just second nature, it's is a core process — and a culture. It's not about waiting for change; it's about making change happen.
Your customers' needs might shift tomorrow. But you already have the solution. The competition is going to market next month. You're ready to go next week. And when the market makes a 180 — and it will — you adapt like you knew it was going to happen. When an organization and all the individuals within it are empowered to innovate, breakthroughs can happen every day instead of every year.
One big idea isn't enough — because business innovation never stops.
The Culture for Change
A culture of innovation is more than a mission statement. To establish a backlog of brilliance, successful organizations constantly seek out inspiration. Impactful ideas come from everywhere — employees, vendors, customers, and partners. But just piling up ideas isn't enough. A structured, repeatable innovation process is what turns the flurry of ideas to opportunities to income — and drives consistent growth.
You have all the right people. You know the importance of innovation. And only Mindjet has solutions that make enterprise innovation an engaging daily process.
Mindjet SpigitEngage is the platform for innovation management. Big data analytics, crowdsourcing technology, and scientific insight give your company the tools to harness the power of the crowd and drive innovation.
Empower Everyone
Pulling all your ideas and assets together can be a challenge. But when each individual is empowered to execute on ideas, collaborate, and complete projects, your organization can create consistent business impact.
When everyone can get the work done, you ensure that ideas turn into completed projects. Mindjet software fosters innovation and boosts productivity in every department, with every process.
Mindjet MindManager and ProjectDirector help establish a collaborative ecosystem that allows individuals and teams to effectively create, communicate, and innovate. Every day.
More than 4 million individuals and 49 of the 50 most innovative companies use Mindjet to generate ideas, organize information, and maximize the power of collaboration. See how we can put innovation to work for you.

Brett Freund: Bliss Point - The amount of an ingredient that optimizes palatability, 2013-2014
This project is a exploration of repetition and balance while researching the aesthetic parameters of different materials. These recent vessels represent an indulgence in making with consideration to how choice creates form. My background is rooted in traditional pottery and it's important to me for my work to best reflect the world that I feel is around me.
In celebration of Kay Hardy and Gregory Kaslo's impressive collection and significant contributions, Boise Art Museum proudly presents a full-scale exhibition highlighting their collection and gifts. Among the notable ceramic artists included are Rudy Autio, Frank Boyden, Helen Frankenthaler, Jun Kaneko, David Smith and Peter Voulkos as well as two-dimensional works by Bill Lewis, Judy Cooke, Alden Mason and Hung Liu.
"There is no central pathway to view the exhibition Modern and Contemporary Ceramics: Anita Kay Hardy and Gregory Kaslo Collection, other than a love of the ceramic medium. They acquire based upon that recognition between eye and mind that have encountered a masterwork. The ceramics range from traditional to edgy, from known masters to the lesser known. It is deliciously eclectic." - Garth Clark and Mark Del Vecchio, Award-winning authors, critics and curators.
Over several decades Kay Hardy and Gregory Kaslo have assembled an exceptional art collection, reflecting their interest in modern and contemporary art with a focus on ceramics. As part of their ongoing relationship with Boise Art Museum, they have loaned numerous artworks to various exhibitions and gifted BAM more than 40 important ceramics and other paintings that deepen and enrich the Museum's collections.
Rose Cabat is considered an artistic treasure in Arizona and an important American studio ceramicist of the Mid-century Modern movement. Born Rose Katz in the Bronx, New York, in 1914, she first worked with clay as a child at the Henry Street Settlement House. In 1936, she married childhood friend Erni Cabat, who became her artistic mentor and biggest supporter. In the late 1930s, Erni studied under Vally Wieselthier, a well-known Wiener Werkstatte potter and ceramic sculptor who had immigrated to the United States from Austria. In 1938, when Erni brought home a lump of clay to use for one of his own projects, Rose fashioned it into several coiled figures and other objects. Noticing Rose's talent, Erni bought her a membership at Greenwich House Pottery in Greenwich Village. There she taught herself to create wheel-thrown pots in earthenware and to develop her own glazes. The Cabats moved to Tucson, Arizona, in 1942, when their first child developed asthma. The family grew, and Rose worked as a riveter at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. In Arizona, Rose first worked with clay from the local brickyard, and threw pots on a wheel made from a converted washing machine. Eventually, Rose worked with stoneware and porcelain clays on a professional Randall wheel, which she still uses to create her celebrated forms. In the mid-1950s, Rose exhibited her work nationally, including at the Tucson Art Center, later to become the Tucson Museum of Art.
Cabat's artistic breakthrough came in 1956 when she accompanied Erni while he attended a conference in Hawaii. Rose stayed on to take a course in glaze calculation at the University of Hawaii, and returned home with new insights into the nuances of the craft. Together, Rose and Erni developed a glaze they named "feelie glaze" for its silky smoothness. In the early 1960s, Rose elevated her signature vases from utilitarian craft objects to museum-quality works of art; iconic rounded forms with delicate, narrow necks and jewel-colored glazes. In 1966, Rose participated in the Craftsmen USA exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which established her reputation as an important Mid-century Modern ceramicist. Rose Cabat will turn 100 this summer. This exhibition is a celebration of Cabat's illustrious life and intrepid artistic achievements.

Opening Reception: October 4, 5-7 pm.
A first-ever exhibition of a mid-century movement of German ceramics, known as relief-porzellan, debuts at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Entitled: In Relief: German Op-Art Ceramics, 1955-75" the exhibition opens on September 28 and runs through January 27, 2013. Both the exhibition and reception are open to the public.
Lawrence Gipe, UA Associate Professor of Studio Art, has been collecting mid-century German ceramics known as relief-porzellan for a number of years. Little was known about these beautiful objects until Gipe undertook to discover the history of their production. This exhibition presents his fascinating research, bringing to light the stories behind the factories and individual artists who created the objects.
"Several years ago, I became aware of this unique genre of German ceramics," says Gipe. "These mass-produced objects were made in "biscuit" porcelain – a matte-white or black finish that leaves the shape unglazed and naked, unadorned in its starkness."
Between the years of 1955-1980, more than a dozen companies were producing the Relief-Porzellan ceramics, mostly vases. Artisans, working in small Bavarian towns, created hundreds of designs, both geometric and organic. Some of the ceramic objects were stamped on the bottoms with the name of the designer and the trademark of the company that produced them. Gipe's visit to an archive in Selb, Germany, the venerable Rosenthal and Co., offered a trove of journals and files, revealing artists and providing attributions to previously anonymous pieces.
Research for the UAMA exhibition, In Relief: German Op-Art Ceramics, was made possible by a grant from the International Affairs Department at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona Museum of Art includes more than 6,000 artworks in its permanent collection created by artists from the 14th through the 21st centuries. UAMA is one of only twelve museums in Arizona accredited by the American Association of Museums (AAM) and one of only 750 museums of the 16,000 museums nationwide with this highest award for excellence in the museum field.

Mayonnaise Is Hands-Down America's Favorite Condiment
What's America's favorite condiment? It's not ketchup, and definitely not mustard. Nope, it's mayonnaise all the way. Does this surprise you?
If pressed, I might have thought that ketchup would win the award for most-consumed condiment (think of all those fries). But when you consider that mayonnaise is not only slathered on sandwiches but used as an ingredient in many other dishes (like ranch dressing) it really isn't so surprising.
→ Read more: Ketchup isn't the king of American condiments. Mayonnaise is at Quartz
Of course, the natural next question is: should we be eating so much mayo? Nutritionally speaking, it's far more caloric than its distant runners-up, soy sauce, mustard, and hot sauce. And mayonnaise has its fair share of haters; Today.com reported on this mayonnaise data by quoting Craig Horwitz of holdthatmayo.com on his favorite alternatives to the "slimy stuff," such as:
...a lot of tomato ("extremely under-rated as a sandwich moisturizer," he said), avocado ("one of our bigger weapons in the war against mayonnaise") and Greek yogurt ("which solves the whole tuna fish dilemma").
But a Hellmann's spokesperson argues that even mayo-haters probably eat more mayo than they realize — and like it:
"I think mayo haters are missing out," he says. "Haters can be won over by realizing that they've probably eaten it and enjoyed it."
How do your mayo habits stack up against this chart? Love it? Hate it? Avoid it? I like it in the aforementioned ranch dressing, and it's always nice with a bit of garlic (call it aioli and people embrace it wholeheartedly). Here's how to make your own mayo at home:

I'm dubious about this claim. What the chart actually says is that Americans spend more on mayo, which doesn't necessarily mean they consume more given that mayo is more expensive than ketchup on average.
I fell in love with mayo on burgers when I went to Alabama to report for USAF pilot training after university. It was never served on burgers in New Jersey in my experience
There is no substitute brand for Hellmann's mayo
It's great stuff and I never use ketchup as a topping. The only thing needed on French fries is salt
I agree that this is suspect. Salsa is not even on this list and I'm always seeing reports that salsa either has or will soon replace ketchup as America's favorite condiment.
I read somewhere recently that "mayo is for fat people." As a getting-lighter-but-still-too-heavy-right-now person, and a mayo lover myself, I think there is a lot of truth in that.
@Griffin actually, one of the articles linked above does deal with the salsa question (haha). Salsa is technically considered a dip, not a condiment, and spending hovers somewhere around the level of ketchup.
I agree, I may have two or three jars of salsa in the fridge but only ever one small jar of mayo. Was salsa excluded on purpose by the mayo industry? Not to mention in the summer when ingredients are on hand I will make a fresh salsa a few times a week, however I am yet to make a homemade mayo.
Ugh, owe my disagree on the mayo. Not a fan. However, I always make sure I have Siracha or Tapatio hot sauce.
Even if a recipe calls for mayo, I usually swap it for greek yogurt or even kefir. Ranch dressing made with Kefir and greek yogurt or sour cream is heaven. Mayo is not needed IMHO.
Is it being used as a condiment or INGREDIENT? I think it might be the latter which would explain the reported usage volume.
Artorius Rex from OnceAndFutureFoodie.com
considering that mayo is now on the upswing in culinary circles again, after decades of misplaced hatred, i am cheering about this.
Well, mayonnaise is super mild and neutro in taste, therefore people will put more on their sandwiches and such as oppose to other condiments that are much more accented in taste. You only need a tiny bit of dijon mustard in a sandwich when with mayo, most people/restaurant spread generously on both sides of the bread. I'm not a fan of condiments unless I make them myself. I guess growing up to see my brothers overuse condiments in everything they eat turned me off of them.
"Mayo is for fat people"?
I'm gonna go ahead and defend mayo and the entire country of France while I'm at it. Mayo is eggs, oil and vinegar. Not much different than vinaigrette; just emulsified. While I don't personally use a lot of mayo, it's definitely a key ingredient in certain things (tuna with yogurt is much too tangy for me). A swipe on a sandwich is definitely not what's making people overweight/obese.
Having defended mayo, I'll agree with others that posit that the numbers above represent both the increased cost of mayo compared to other ingredients and the fact that all that ketchup for all those fries the OP mentioned are included with the cost at restaurants (most people don't do homemade fries).
Finally, vindication! I love mayo, always have, always will. It's my number one choice for a bread/cracker spread, even over butter, which I also love.
Hasn't anyone ever had mayo with Sriracha sauce mixed in? That's MY favorite condiment.
Yum! I could do without all the other condiments, except mayo. It's also the main exception to eating vegan during the day. I measure out a precise tablespoon though.
I too am a mayo-despiser. But I will admit that it is a component of many great things.
I like mayo better if you add garlic and spices and call it aioli. I never put plain mayo on sandwiches. I could skip ketchup too - it's usually too sweet. I am pro-BBQ and mustard. I like vinegary and smokey things.
I also think that it's because mayo is often used as an ingredient (dips, primarily). You wouldn't be able to use that quantity of mustard in dish.
I wish I hated mayo.
I'm obsessed with this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Mccormick-Mayonnaise-With-Mayonesa-Limones/dp/B008VSY180
The most delicious mayonnaise I've ever had. Even better than homemade.
If a favorite has to be decided then it needs to be based on units sold, not the total cash spent. Ketchup outsells both mayonnaise and salsa, but costs much less per unit.
I also have to say that in my home, salsa is used more often as a condiment than it is as a dip.
I'm a big mayo fan. But it's Duke mayo for me. Only a few ingredients instead of a whole paragraph of additives. And, although most people use ketchup on fries, I've seen many people dip in mayo. Hopefully, they don't have to worry about all those extra calories.
Mayo wins in my house....sandwiches, dips, sauces, dressings, etc. Just as many calories as using olive oil. Just watch out for those additives.
Hmm... I don't know. I'd bet I spend more money on mayo in a given year than ketchup, but only because after a few months in the fridge, I throw it out and replace it. I rarely come close to finishing a jar of mayo. Ketchup, on the other hand, seems to last forever (or at least a lot longer than mayo) so I actually finish the bottle before replacing it.
So yes, I spend more/buy more mayo, but I use a lot more ketchup. And salsa.
Grossvater, I am a born and raised Jersey girl (no longer living there) and learned to eat mayo on burgers at a drive-in called George's, next door to a Stewart's on River Road in Kearny. It was a "California" burger. Swanky! Lettuce, tomato, cheese & mayo. It's how I've eaten cheeseburgers ever since. (On hamburgers, anything goes.)
For me, a little mayo goes a long way. In sauces, I like to cut it with yogurt or sour cream. As a sandwich spread, I barely coat the bread with the lightest scraping.
My husband on the other hand loves the stuff. He wants it on all sandwiches even liverwurst or bologna, which clearly scream for mustard. And he has picked up the European custom of eating mayo with his fries which is, frankly, disgusting. Anybody from Jersey knows you're supposed to have gravy with your fries!
Another vote for Duke's here too. Seems to be a southern preference.

The Gentle Boy
This evening the sunset was red and I thought of blood oranges,
sold in shops before Yule. This was long time ago when tropical
fruit was a rarity, like bananas and coconuts. In the shop that sold
sweets and fruit I bought four oranges and two bananas,
the citrus didn´t look like the right thing but I was too shy to
argue. … They were not. But mother peeled them cut them into
pieces and put strawberry jam on top. Mother, when young, was
fearless, next day she went to the shop, spoke her mind and came
home with four blood oranges the shopkeeper had given her in
fear of her lashing, tongue. Remembering this I know being gentle
is good as long as you don´t let people take advantage of you

Lynette "Neddy" Brehm easily stands on the shoulders of many of the other musicians in San Antonio. This singer songwriter has accomplished much in her career and has no intention on slowing down anytime soon.
"Neddy's" grandmother was a professional opera singer for the San Antonio Opera company and was one of the first Hispanic women to sing on the radio in Texas in the 20′s and 30′s. With such a musical background it was no surprise "Neddy" picked up her grandmothers love for music.
Some of her accomplishments include:
* Runner-up of the VH1 Song of the Year Contest, Adult Contemporary Category for "We're Meant To Be Together"
* Recent production of Neddy's original song "We're Meant To Be Together" produced and arranged by Randy Cantor (Grammy award winning producer for Alejandra Guzman and Grammy nominee for his arrangement of "Living La Vida Loca" for Ricky Martin)
* Top 25 in the Clear Channel national Star 98.7 (Los Angeles) Rock Star Contest
* Official Selection of "Alone This Christmas" music video at the Texandance International Film Festival and Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival
* Co-wrote Neddy's original song "Tentacion Que Me Domina" with Edgar Cortazar (Latin Grammy Award recipient who's creations have been recorded by Luis Miguel)
With her soulful voice she can sing and write songs in English and also Spanish. Which in turn makes her a multiple threat and sets her apart from a lot of singers. One moment she could be singing a soulful ballad in English, while the next an uptempo musical number in Spanish. She also has love and respect for playing her own instruments, especially the guitar. She says quote "Picking up the guitar was as natural as could be, it compliments the energy within." We could not agree more.
One of the most fulfilling things she has done in her career was create a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting public school music programs. The "Music In The Schools" program helps assist music programs by creating positive music activities for the youth and bringing financial aid to music programs in public schools. The funding for such musical programs are dwindling and "Music In The Schools" is such an organization that takes pride into providing at least some sort of relief. For more information about Music In The Schools visit www.musicintheschools.net.

Books of spiritual guidance for children during the Puritan-Anglican controversy in the seventeenth century
Document Type
Publication Date
In this paper I have discussed books of spiritual guidance for children within their historical context. The authors were writing during the time of conflict between the Anglicans and Puritans in the mid-seventeenth century. Their most obvious aim is to secure converts for their particular denominational cause. I attempt to uncover the denominational ideals, as well as the more general ideals concerning man, his world, and his relation to others. These books have not previously been examined by scholars, nor by historians of children's books in this way. The books and authors are: A little book for little children (1660) by Thomas White, A choice manual (1669) by Jeremy Taylor, A token for children (1672) by James Janeway, and Of education (1687) by Obadiah Walker. The books can be found in their original state in the Osborne Room of the Toronto Metropolitan Library.

Microsoft's new Office Mobile for iOS lets you access and create Office documents from SkyDrive and make basic edits on the go. Sounds great, right? The only catch is, you'll need a subscription to Office 365 to use the app. That would be fine if Office Mobile were a robust mobile version of Office 365 on your iPhone, but limited editing features (while useful to subscribers) make me think it should have been released as a companion to the free Web apps at Office.com rather than tying it to the subscription service. Another disappointment is that it's also not optimized for iPad.
Diving into the interface
Focusing on documents made in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Office Mobile for iOS displays your documents in a list, with the ones you've worked on most recently at the top. Microsoft Office icons on the left of the list tell you which type of document your looking at.
Across the bottom of the screen there are buttons to connect to your SkyDrive or Sharepoint, create a new document, and a settings section where you can enter your username so others know when you make comments on a shared document.

SPOKANE -- An emotional reunion for a single Spokane father and his nine-year-old son. Joseph Meyers just spent ten months serving overseas in the Navy. On Friday, he gave his son a huge surprise inside an All Saints Catholic School classroom.
Friday was just another day inside a third-grade classroom. But for a nine-year old sitting in the front row, it's a day he will never forget.
Ten months ago was the last time Operations Specialist First Class Joseph Meyers saw his son Eric. Joseph is in the Navy and has been overseas in Kuwait for his third tour of duty.
"My family has been an important part in this. It has been every part in my opportunity to serve something greater than myself," said Joseph.
It is the longest time he has been away from his son. And in one moment, the door opened and Joseph surprised his son. They embraced and shared a moment ten months in the making. Joseph admitted it was hard being so far away. He missed Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other special days.
"I know I wasn't there on your birthday. So I wanted to do something special. I flew this flag for you on your birthday," said Joseph.
Joseph said in tough times, his son was his strength and his reason to press on.
The class got a taste of the sweet surprise as well. There were cupcakes compliments of Eric's dad.
Joseph Meyers isn't certain if he will be deployed again. For now, he is just ready to relax and spend precious time with his son.

Applicants, including those applying for
graduate assistantships, are encouraged to meet the application
deadlines. Meeting the admission deadlines allows ample
time for the coordination of all University departments in the
application process and for faculty to meet with applicants to
plan a personalized program of study.
Due dates for all materials submitted to the Education
Specialties Department by semester:
Note: M.Ed. students do not begin in the Winter term.
Late applications will be processed, as they are submitted,
although processing times will be affected by semester demands.
Potential applicants who have missed the above deadline
are also invited to apply for the following full semester.
Students can take courses as a graduate
non-degree seeking
student. Only nine (9) transferred credit hours will apply toward your
M.Ed. degree. Please reference the particular program
checklist to ensure your choice of graduate
courses meets your particular program requirements.
How to Apply for Master of Education
Admission to the M.Ed. program is a two-step process. In
addition to meeting the general requirements for admission to
Salisbury University graduate study, students must apply for
admission to the Seidel School of Education M.Ed. program.
Complete the
on-line application or
obtain admissions material
Applicants can now track the receipt of
their transcripts, letters of recommendation, goals statement,
and any additional requirements by viewing their Admissions
Checklist in GullNet.
Although students may register for some courses after
acceptance to the university for graduate study, they are
expected to complete the process for full admission into the
M.Ed. program, including the development of a program of study,
prior to the completion of the first nine (9)credits in the
program. Nine hours of credit earned at Salisbury
University prior to full admission to the M.Ed. program may be
applicable toward requirements for the degree, provided such
credits are appropriate and approved for the degree program.
Questions regarding the applicability of courses taken as a
non-degree graduate student will be resolved by the Masters in
Education Graduate Program Director.
Students who have submitted all application materials for
admission to the M.Ed. Program but who have not obtained a 3.0
cumulative grade point average upon completion of the
baccalaureate degree may be admitted on a provisional basis.
Provisionally admitted students must complete the first nine
credits of graduate study at SU with no grade below B.
Upon successful completion of nine credit hours, students may
apply for full admission to the M.Ed. program. Following review
of the application materials, the program director formally
notifies students of admission or denial to the program.
Students who do not meet the provisional admission
requirement of achieving nine credit hours with grades B or
above are not eligible to apply for admission to the M.Ed.
To assist students who are provisionally admitted, an advisor
will be assigned. Students are expected to meet with their
advisor to clarify program requirements and to assure that
courses for which they register will be appropriate for the
degree program.

For the past two weeks I have been planning on NOT going to Opening Day. I got great tickets for Tuesday and I just didn't feel like paying the higher price for Opening Day tickets. I been there, I done that. (You got guns? Yo, I got straps.) Instead, I planned to have an Opening Day party and watching the game on TV. I make my own fun and there's nothing at the stadium that would really change that.
Well, some things have changed and I am now going to Opening Day (as a designated driver, seriously). That doesn't mean I still don't have these cool plans for an Opening Day party and that I can't share them with all of you.
- Eat like you are there: Yeah it sucks that you're not there and you can't have those lighter fluid tasting brats that you would normally have and that probably sucks but that doesn't mean that you have to skip eating brats altogether. Maybe do a little grilling at home or just microwave a couple. Throw in some stadium sauce and the only thing missing is the $9 price tag. Well, that and the whole being at the game part.
- Get drunk early in the morning: Or as my ex-girlfriend calls it "the reason I broke up with you, jerk."
- Don't wait in traffic for an hour to pay for parking: Not going has many advantages.
- Get a radio: Okay, so you're not going to Opening Day. Boo hoo. That doesn't mean that you can't experience Miller Park's greatest feature. You might think that was watching the game with a good crowd, tailgating or even the smells of the stadium, but the truth is that Miller Park's best feature is none of these. No, Miller Park's best feature is that when you go to the bathroom BOB UECKER DOES PLAY BY PLAY. I heard that this same bathroom play-by-play is played on the radio on WTMJ 620. Get a radio, put on the game and put it in the bathroom. Tell me this isn't an awesome idea. I dare you.
- Boo the TV: See how stupid that sounds? You know it isn't going to change anything. Kind of like when you boo in person.
- Don't walk through what may or may not be spilled beer mixed with urine
- WATCH THE GAME: Hey, I love going to the game as much as the next guy but I'm the first to admit that you definitely process more of what you see when you watch it on TV. Endless replays, commentary (which is as big of a positive as it is a negative) and multiple camera angles all add to the improved viewing experience. Don't waste it by getting too drunk and not paying attention. Leave that to the people who actually go to the game.
Alright, I have to try and get some sleep. I still have some important things to do before I get up at 6 to get ready for the game.

Brad Pitt's organization Make It Right is debuting the transformation of a rundown vacant metro school into new affordable housing in the urban core.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held this weekend for the former Bancroft Elementary School, but they gave an early behind-the-scenes look at the redevelopment. Kansas City, MO, Mayor Sly James and Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II will participate in the weekend ceremony for what will now be the Bancroft School Apartments.
Local companies partnered with Make It Right to build the energy-efficient apartments located at 4300 Tracy Avenue from the school that originally opened in 1904 and then had sat empty for thirteen years.
"When the school closed it became a blight, a drain on the community. It brought things down. It didn't help elevate it," said Jim Nichols, the owner of Dalmark Development Group.
Crews are finishing the final touches to begin leasing the apartments to low-income families.
"We wanted it to become a resource within the neighborhood again and breathe new life into the effort along Troost," said Tim Duggan the director of Make It Right Innovations.
The 50-unit development includes 29 apartments built inside the rehabilitated elementary school and 21 new modern units built on the school grounds.
There are income restrictions for the one, two and three bedroom apartments.
"We've had over 150 inquiries. The property is approximately halfway spoken for as far as leases," Nichols said.
Pitt's Make It Right organization began helping families impacted by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
"After a few years of redeveloping after a natural disaster in New Orleans, we really wanted to stress the importance of working in other communities and sharing that knowledge that may have had an economic disaster and not a natural one," Duggan said.
They partnered with the Dalmark Development Group and Neighborhood Housing Services of Kansas City to improve the Manheim Park neighborhood in Kansas City.
"What Make It Right did is they brought the level of awareness and some notoriety which really helped everyone to focus. That focus created the result you see you in front of you today," Nichols said.
The project also features a gymnasium, technology lab, mobile medical clinic and community gardens.
All of the apartments are LEED Platinum Rental units, which means they are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The Bancroft Project cost $14.1 million. Donors including the Dreiseszun Family Foundation and U.S. Bank. The Dreiseszun Family Foundation honors the memory of Kansas City real estate developer and philanthropist Sherman Dreiseszun. U.S. Bank made a $1.2 million Affordable Housing Assistance Program donation in support of the Bancroft Project.

Natural Factors - RxOmega-3 Factors - 120 Softgels
Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors contains a pharmaceutical grade marine lipid concentrate that provides a high potency and perfect balance of EPA and DHA for maximum effectiveness. Detailed quality control ensures that it is free from toxic environmental contaminants and heavy metals like mercury.
What are EPA and DHA?Oil from fish contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); both are omega-3 fatty acids.
Where are they found?EPA and DHA are found in mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines, sablefish (black cod), anchovies, albacore tuna, and wild game. Cod liver oil contains large amounts of EPA and DHA. Fish oil supplements typically contain 18% EPA and 12% DHA, though more purified (i.e., higher in EPA and DHA) fish oil supplements are sometimes available. In addition, DHA is available in a supplement that does not contain significant amounts of EPA.
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Figgins probably not a fit for Angels
Former Angels speedster Chone Figgins was just designated for assignment by the Mariners after a rough stint in the Northwest, but don't anticipate a return to Anaheim. A source with knowledge of the team's thinking said Tuesday night that Figgins is "not likely to be a fit" for the Angels in 2013.
By designating Figgins for assignment, the Mariners have 10 days to trade, release or outright him before he becomes a free agent. If he clears waivers and is not traded, he will be released, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said. Figgins will most likely slip through waivers, which means the Mariners will simply pay the $8 million owed to him in 2013 and set him off into free agency.
The Angels, who are prioritizing pitching, have Alberto Callaspo slated as their starting third baseman for 2013 and have several options for the utility infield spot — Andrew Romine, Angel Sanchez and Brendan Harris.
Figgins, who can also play all three outfield spots, excelled with the Angels from 2004-09 but struggled mightily in his three years with the Mariners, compiling a .227/.302/.283 slash line. In 2012, he appeared in just 66 games and finished with a .181 batting average.
"He just became an expendable piece and that's it," Zduriencik told MLB.com's Greg Johns. "That's the end of the story."
