The career of
Lou Reed
defies capsule summarization. Like
David Bowie
directly inspired in many ways), he has made over his image many times, mutating from theatrical glam rocker to strung-out junkie to avant-garde noiseman to straight rock & roller to your average guy. Few would deny
's immense importance and considerable achievements. As has often been written, he expanded the vocabulary of rock & roll lyrics into the previously forbidden territory of kinky sex, drug use (and abuse), decadence, transvestites, homosexuality, and suicidal depression. As has been pointed out less often, he remained (and remains) committed to using rock & roll as a forum for literary, mature expression well into middle age, without growing lyrically soft or musically complacent. By and large, he's taken on these challenging duties with uncompromising honesty and a high degree of realism. For these reasons, he's often cited as punk's most important ancestor. It's often overlooked, though, that he's equally skilled at celebrating romantic joy, and rock & roll itself, as he is at depicting harrowing urban realities. With the exception of
Neil Young
, no other star who rose to fame in the '60s continued to push himself so diligently into creating work that is meaningful and contemporary.
achieved his greatest success as a solo artist, his most enduring accomplishments were as the leader of
the Velvet Underground
in the '60s. If
had never made any solo records, his work as the principal lead singer and songwriter for
the Velvets
would have still ensured his stature as one of the greatest rock visionaries of all time.
The Velvet Underground
are discussed at great length in many other sources, but it's sufficient to note that the four studio albums they recorded with
at the helm are essential listening, as is much of their live and extraneous material. "Heroin," "Sister Ray," "Sweet Jane," "Rock and Roll," "Venus in Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "What Goes On," and "Lisa Says" are just the most famous classics that
wrote and sang for the group. As innovative as
the Velvets
were at breaking lyrical and instrumental taboos with their crunching experimental rock, they were unappreciated in their lifetime. Five years of little commercial success was undoubtedly a factor in
leaving the group he had founded in August 1970, just before the release of their most accessible effort,
. Although
's songs and streetwise, sing-speak vocals dominated
the Velvets
, he was perhaps more reliant upon his talented collaborators than he realized, or is even willing to admit to this day. The most talented of these associates was
John Cale
, who was apparently fired by
in 1968 after
the Velvets
' second album (although the pair have worked together on various other projects since then).
has a reputation of being a difficult man to work with for an extended period, and that has made it difficult for his extensive solo oeuvre to compete with the standards of brilliance set by
the Velvets
. Nowhere was this more apparent than on his self-titled solo debut from 1971, recorded after he'd taken an extended hiatus from music, moving back to his parents' suburban Long Island home at one point.
Lou Reed
mostly consisted of flaccid versions of songs dating back to the
days, and he could have really used the group to punch them up, as proved by the many outtake versions of these tunes that he actually recorded with
the Velvet Underground
(some of which didn't surface until about 25 years later).
got a shot in the arm (no distasteful pun intended) when
David Bowie
Mick Ronson
produced his second album,
. A more energetic set that betrayed the influence of glam rock, it also included his sole Top 20 hit, "Walk on the Wild Side," and other good songs like "Vicious" and "Satellite of Love." It also made him a star in Britain, which was quick to appreciate the influence
had exerted on
and other glam rockers.
went into more serious territory on
(1973), its sweet orchestral production coating lyrical messages of despair and suicide. In some ways
's most ambitious and impressive solo effort, it was accorded a vituperative reception by critics in no mood for a nonstop bummer (however elegantly executed). Unbelievably, in retrospect, it made the Top Ten in Britain, though it flopped stateside.
Having been given a cold shoulder for some of his most serious (if chilling) work,
apparently decided he was going to give the public what it wanted. He had guitarists
Steve Hunter
Dick Wagner
give his music more of a pop-metal, radio-friendly sheen. More disturbingly, he decided to play up to the cartoon junkie role that some in his audience seemed eager to assign to him. Onstage, that meant shocking bleached hair, painted fingernails, and simulated drug injections. On record, it led to some of his most careless performances. One of these, the 1974 album
Sally Can't Dance
, was also his most commercially successful, reaching the Top Ten, thus confirming both
's and the audience's worst instincts. As if to prove he could still be as uncompromising as anyone, he unleashed the double album
Metal Machine Music
, a nonstop assault of electronic noise. Opinions remain divided as to whether it was an artistic statement, a contract quota-filler, or a slap in the face to the public.
has never behaved as outrageously (in public and in the studio) as he did in the mid-'70s, there was plenty of excitement in the decades that followed. When he decided to play it relatively straight, sincere, and hard-nosed, he could produce affecting work in the spirit of his best vintage material (parts of
Coney Island Baby
Street Hassle
). At other points, he seemed not to be putting too much effort into any aspect of his songs ("Rock and Roll Heart"). With 1978's
Take No Prisoners
, he delivered one of the weirdest concert albums of all time, more of a comedy monologue (which not too many people laughed hard at) than a musical document.
had always been an enigma, but no one questioned the serious intent of his work with
the Velvet Underground
. As a soloist, it was getting impossible to tell when he was serious, or whether he even wished to be taken seriously anymore.
At the end of the '70s,
The Bells
set the tone for most of his future work.
would settle down; he would play it straight; he would address serious, adult concerns, including heterosexual romance, with sincerity. Not a bad idea, but though the albums that followed were much more consistent in tone, they remained erratic in quality and, worse, could occasionally be quite boring. The recruitment of
Robert Quine
as lead guitarist helped, and
The Blue Mask
(1982) and

Magic and Loss

for a 1993 European live tour could not be considered an unqualified success, however. European audiences were thrilled to see the legends in person, but critical reaction to the shows was mixed, and critical reaction to the live record was tepid. More distressingly, old conflicts reared their head within the band once again, and the reunion ended before it had a chance to get to America.

Nashville vs. Vancouver Preview
David Singleton | Apr 28, 2011 | Comments 3
Friday's column a day early…
Previewing Nashville vs. Vancouver
At 8pm CDT, the puck will drop on the first Stanley Cup semifinal series in Nashville history. Nashville is coming off a strong showing against the Anaheim Ducks and will now face the top seeded Vancouver Canucks.
There are some similarities between the Canucks and Ducks. Both teams feature two extremely talented top two lines and two incredibly good power play units (both roughly 24% conversion rate during the regular season). Both teams got about 29% of their goal production from the power play during the regular season.
Where Anaheim and Vancouver are very much different is their defense. While Vancouver does not have any blueliner that approaches the level of Shea Weber or Ryan Suter, they do have a very solid group from one to six. Nashville's top six, however, proved that they are up to the challenge of facing two very dangerous lines in the Anaheim series at even strength.
One final difference from the Anaheim series is that Vancouver can put their own Vezina-nominated goaltender between the pipes. Like Nashville's Pekka Rinne, however, Roberto Luongo has a lot of questions to answer after a subpar series against Chicago.
While the +/- stat is somewhat dubious, it is pretty good at indicating trends. In the Anaheim series, Nashville only had three minus players (only one of which was a defenseman). 12 of the 23 players that Anaheim iced in their series with Nashville were minus players including key players like Selanne, Visnovsky, Sbisa, Koivu, and Blake. To give up as many goals as Nashville did, those are very telling statistics at how strong Nashville was at even strength. Couple that with the fact that 14 of 21 players iced by Vancouver were minus players in the Chicago series, including key players like both Sedins, Salo, Edler and Ehroff, I feel they can limit Vancouver's top lines at even strength (and the regular season series between Nashville and Vancouver also bears that out).
Here are the keys for a Nashville win:
- · Limit Vancouver's power play opportunities. That means you, Shane O'Brien. I think the call-up of Teemu Laakso indicates that Barry Trotz is hedging his bets in two ways: the option to dress 7 defensemen with Laakso taking PK duty when O'Brien is in the box and the option of benching O'Brien outright if he continues to hurt the team.
- · Take advantage of any perceived mental and/or physical fatigue on the part of Vancouver. The first step is to earn at least a split of the first two games in Vancouver. The second aspect of that is to play the typical Nashville game of relentless pressure from the forecheck. If Nashville brings it hard every game, I like their chances with the rest they had.
- · Vancouver will attempt to take advantage of O'Brien, Nashville must take advantage of Hamhuis. Dan Hamhuis is a very good defenseman. He does have some flaws however, namely his propensity to turn the puck over when being forechecked hard. Like they did earlier this year, Nashville must force Hamhuis to turn the puck over and capitalize on it.
- · Lean on Shea Weber and Ryan Suter. Weber and Suter were leaned on to hold Anaheim in check at even strength. They will need to follow up that great job with another great job against the Sedins and the Kesler line.
- · Finally, Pekka Rinne must play like the Vezina nominee he is. Rinne was not at his best in the Anaheim series. To beat Vancouver, a more balanced team than Anaheim, he will have to be. Rinne tends to be better when he's more involved (read: seeing a lot of shots come his way). There's a pretty good chance he'll see more than he did against Anaheim. If Nashville has any chance, he'll have to improve that save percentage.
With Nashville's play at even strength, their ability to stay disciplined, Vancouver coming off a tough series with little rest, and the fact that I believe that Rinne will round back into form, I think Nashville wins this series in six games.

Do not underestimate Alex Edler. He is definitely in the same group as Ryan Suter and not as far behind Weber as you think. If not for back surgery in January he would have gotten some serious Norris consideration.

Several recent developments have stimulated our Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) to undertake a major revitalization of our introductory physics curriculum. First, physics education research has provided new insights to radically improve the way we teach physics, and second, the computer revolution has provided new, exciting pedagogical tools. These new capabilities, coupled with the need to provide greater flexibility for our students, and the capability of the World Wide Web to provide an interactive learning environment, have stimulated us to revise completely our introductory courseware. We believe we are establishing a paradigm for science education for the 21st century that develops higher-order thinking competencies, promotes collaborative learning, and improves communication skills.
Over the past few years (Fall 1996 - Spring 2000), both the calculus-based introductory physics sequence (Physics 111-114) and the algebra-based sequence (Physics 101-102) have been completely restructured. These courses are taken by nearly 5000 undergraduate students each year at the UIUC. This fundamental curriculum revision has five overall objectives:
- To "institutionalize" meaningful course content and effective pedagogical methods, so that good teaching is not dependent on a single inspired instructor but is integral to all sections of all classes.
- To incorporate new physics instructional techniques, based on physics education research, that emphasize conceptual understanding.
- To utilize state-of-the-art instructional media, including multimedia lecture presentations, World Wide Web-based interactive course materials, and laboratory computer data acquisition and analysis.
- To develop students' teamwork skills and to promote students' opportunities for collaborative learning.
- To develop a model for basic science teaching that will be "portable" to other departments on our campus and to other physics departments at large research universities.
Well-constructed courses in physics provide the foundation of technical and scientific understanding for most science and engineering students — "Physics is the liberal arts education for a technological society" —and we believe our Department's investment in improved instruction in fundamental physics will provide substantive positive returns, both for our students and for their future employers.

The Better Business Bureau is warning Minnesotans to be on the lookout for a new phone scam that is hitting close to home and is called the "473 One Ring Scam."
There are plenty of fraudsters who use phones to try to get people to send them money, but this latest variation adds an additional twist. Victims will see a missed call on their phone and then call back to find out who contacted them only to end up paying them money without realizing it until the phone bill comes the next month.
"People were really concerned about mystery charges on their cell phone bill," Dan Hendrickson of the BBB explained.
After the first of the year, customers in North Dakota started noticing some odd numbers showing up in his call logs -- mostly missed calls that started with a 473 area code.
"Bottom line is: If you see that 473 prefix on your caller ID, be careful," Hendrickson recommends. "It looks like a local number -- 473. Unfortunately, that's the prefix for Grenada, an international phone call. That can lead to big charges on your cell phone bill.
Some one-ring phone calls could also be coming from a 268 area code.
The strategy is called "cramming," and is employed by third parties that add unauthorized charges on a wireless bill -- and Minnesotans are being targeted.
"It's usually between 11 and 1," Laura Lefebre said. "I get a random call from an area code or phone number I don't recognize."
The charges often show up as a "premium service" for $19.95, but there is a solid strategy to avoid the fraudulent billing -- don't answer and don't call back.
"If curiosity gets the best of you and you call that number back, it's going to be the kind of thing where they're going to try and keep you on the line for as long as possible to rack up the charges," Hendrickson said.
Federal agencies have reviewed thousands of complaints regarding the calls, and investigators believe robo-call software is being used to focus on different areas of the country.

Same-sex marriage
Sponsored link.
The first state to legalize same-sex marriage was Massachusetts in 2004. As of 2014-APR, loving, committed same-sex couples can marry in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Federal District Courts in six more states -- Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Virginia -- have issued rulings legalizing same-sex marriage. However, no couples can marry there because the rulings have all been stayed pending appeals to various U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
There are more than 60 lawsuits active in U.S. District Courts that are attempting to legalize same-sex marriage within their state, or require their state to recognize same-sex marriages solemnized in other states, or both.
But perhaps the most important measurement of all is the level of support for same-sex marriage among the public. This currently rests at about 55% and has been increasing between 1 and 2 percentage points per year over the past decade.
Some commentators from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Transsexual (LGBT) community have predicted that when:
the U.S. Supreme Court will decide to legalize SSM in all states as it did for interracial marriages back in 1967.

Paul Lambert will fight on at Villa after FA Cup KO
Paul Lambert today called on his players to put their bodies on the line after they suffered their second cup humiliation in the space of three days against Millwall.
The claret and blues were eliminated from the Capital One Cup by League Two Bradford City during the week and Millwall repeated the trick in an FA Cup fourth-round tie as they won 2-1 at The Den last night.
Villa were once again undone by balls into the penalty area from wide positions as Danny Shittu headed in from a corner to equalise Darren Bent's opener before John Marquis nodded in the winner from a cross.
"You've got to learn from that and be prepared to get hurt in the penalty box," said Lambert.
"We're not prepared to be hurt for a bog-standard corner that's come into the penalty box. That's the disappointing thing.
"But you take your medicine, pick yourself up and go again. There's no way you can lie down.
"The blows keep coming but as I said there are two ways you deal with it. You accept it or you come out fighting. I'll keep fighting because I am brought up that way."
Lambert dismissed the idea that it is becoming harder for him to motivate the Villa players since their season started to unravel.
He added: "They've always been pretty upbeat and are not a group who go down quickly. I've not experienced any other way with them. I've not had that problem of lifting their spirits.
"We had a lot of the ball and we were not hiding. So, from that aspect, I was quite pleased. I was also a bit worried about how they would react from the other night but they went and took the ball and gave it a go. But you can't defend set-pieces like that."
Meanwhile Millwall boss Kenny Jackett criticised home fans that caused play to be delayed during the second half when bottles were thrown on to the pitch.
"We can't condone people throwing bottles on to the pitch. That doesn't help us," he said
"There's a line between supporting your club and creating a passionate atmosphere but we don't want to step over that line."
Villa will find out the extent of the injury which saw Fabian Delph limp off the pitch five minutes half-time when he is assessed by the club's medical staff later today.

Dried Tarragon
I have never used tarragon and I now have a large container of dried tarragon (a gift). Any suggestions on how to use. Thanks.
It's a pleasant, sweet flavor that works with chicken, shrimp, and tuna salads that are not otherwise over-spiced.
I frequently work it in with melted butter and refrigerate it for use as tarragon-butter pats to be inserted in the middle of hamburgers before grilling. An old "21 Club" tradition.
Probably the best known and most classic use for terragon is a bearnaise sauce, which is basically a hollandaise with terragon flavoring the egg yolks. Tons of recipes for both on-line. Use a teaspoonful to flavor any kind of otherwise unflavored vinegar, such as rice, wine, or cider vinegars, and use in a vinaigrette. My only caution is that I personally don't care for terragon and garlic mixed together, but not everyone will share my opinion.
My method for making terragon butter is a bit different than Veggo's, but either will work like a charm. I simply mash it into room temperature butter, roll into a log in plastic wrap and refriegerate. Then melt a goodly chunk over a broiled steak or chop. Terragon butter is also good to use in a sauce after you've cooked a good quality steak. Remove steak from frying pan to a warm plate, deglaze the pan with a little red wine, a little beef stock if you have it (or some water will do), reduce to half, then add a small taste of cognac, take it off the flame and add a tablespoon or so of terragon butter, taste, correct seasoning, pour over steaks, invite me to dinner. If you have any shallots, you can saute a tablespoon or so in the meat drippings and then proceed as above. Terragon also good just sprinkled on meats before cooking.
You say "large" container? I would make sure the lid is tight, slip it into a zip lock bag, and stash it in the freezer to keep it at peak flavor as long as possible. Oh... And quirky soul that I am, I LOOOVE eggs benedict with bearnaise sauce instead of hollandaise. Your taste buds have some fun ahead of them!
re: Caroline1
Excellent advice. My tarragon butter is a bit different. I add a T finely minced tarragon to a 1/4 c. of white wine and a T finely diced shallot, then reduce to a glaze in a saucepan. Cool, then add 5 T room temp. butter and another T finenly minced tarragon. Stir well, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Serve over grilled or pan-seared steak.
No shortage of terragon here, I have farmer clients that are growing 100's of acres of the stuff. They distill it into terragon oil.
Tarragon is also good with eggs.
The Chow ingrediant list has a lot of good info about tarragon. It says the affinities are Asparagus, beef, carrot, cauliflower, chicken, fish, lamb, mayonnaise, mushroom, mustard, olive oil, shrimp, sour cream, tomato, vinaigrettes.
There are also a bunch of recipes on the right side of the above link. I bought tarragon for the Egg Salad Gribiche and it was very nice. I couldn't find fresh tarragon so I used dried. My conversion is 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon = 1 teaspoon dried. I also tried the French lentil soup which was good.
re: foufou
My favorite uses: tarragon chicken salad, sprinkled on buttered steamed carrots, simmering in soups as aromatherapy.
re: Diane in Bexley
Try classic Chicken Salad with good mayonnaise, red onion, chicken and tarragon in addition to your other choices. Distinctive and delicious, it was one of our best sellers.
While you still have fresh tarragon, try slipping sprigs of fresh tarragon under the skin of a chicken to be roasted.
I love tarragon. I use it on chicken breasts with a splash of soy, dash of olive oil, chinese 5 spice and top with the dried tarragon, then grill. It is also good in scrambled eggs, and I add it to split pea soup, or creamy tomato soup. There are a lot of really good ideas on this thread, that I am going to have to remember.
re: danhole
One of my husbands favorite sides with baked chicken is one that uses tarragon. I saute garlic and diced onion in butter and olive oil until soft. Add sliced mushrooms, quartered artichoke hearts, tarragon and cream. I like to let it simmer for a while because the flavors really come together. Right before serving I stir in a bit of grated parmesan cheese. Yummy!
one of my favorites hasn't been mentioned yet...i love tarragon with beets.
since you have dried tarragon & not fresh, i'd use some to make a tarragon vinaigrette [oil, tarragon, shallot, S&P, dijon mustard, and lemon juice or balsamic vinegar], and drizzle it over a salad of arugula, endive, roasted beets, walnuts & goat cheese.
you can also season beets, zucchini, carrots or new potatoes with a similar marinade/dressing, then oven-roast or grill them.
I agree with others who suggest using it with chicken...here's a really great recipe that's quick and elegant...we love epi's Chicken Louisa:
I too adore tarragon, and have found that it works with many things. I LOVE it in tuna salad--add some shell pasta to your favorite tuna salad recipe, throw in some tarragon to your taste, and you have a wonderful, cooling summer dinner.
And as others have said, it's wonderful in eggs. I have even added it to canned vegetable beef soup for a drastically delicious improvement!
Mmmm...as you can see, the possibilites are almost limitless. Enjoy!

On Monday, a semi-truck rear-ended a motor home along I-10 near the Maricopa-La Paz County line. Both vehicles caught fire. Everything in the motor home was scattered in the area. A car being towed was engulfed in flames.
A fellow trucker, John Randel, witnessed the collision and ran over to help. He located the big rig driver, called 911 and helped him get to safety.
Randel then went to the wreckage of the motor home.
"And I find Mr. Romie Tanner slumped over the steering wheel..he was breathing, barely conscious," he said.
A medical helicopter transported Tanner to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix -- in serious condition.
Randel also rescued the man's dog, named Willie.
"Going against company policy, I went ahead and just took the dog with me and figured..I'll suffer the consequences later if there are any and my usual run to California and back and dropped dog off, so Willie here can be brought up to the animal hospital and be checked out for the night."
The staff examined Willie at Sunburst Animal Hospital near 51st Avenue and Thunderbird in Glendale.
"He seemed to have a little bit of pain in his shoulder area and neck area, so probably just from being thrown around and after the accident, he was a little sore," said Sandra Prout.
Randel says this wasn't the first time Willie had a near-death experience.
"10 years ago, he was hit by a car -- breaking his back, losing his eye. He's probably paralyzed from his back down. Willie was also moved to the Caribbean, was there for a few years..he suffered a back injury, broke his back again."
Randel tells FOX 10 that Tanner lost his wife of 40 years to brain cancer three years ago. He says Tanner lived in his motor home in northern California and was traveling to Florida to live with his grandchildren. Tanner lost everything, including his late wife's jewelry and a cross.
"I'm hoping everybody can help..with some donations, you know, to help out Mr. Tanner and Willie here so he can make a full recovery."

I am one who appreciates that fine line between comfort and style and loves it most when the two are blurred together, as in the case of this gorgeous nursery for baby Henry. It's about as pulled together and perfect as a nursery could be, just right for baby. And yet, I can't help but want to sit myself down in the corner and keep this room for myself, because it looks so plush and sophisticated!
See more photos and details from this lush space below:
The oversized windows bathe the room in light and I have to say, I'm a big fan of the long curtains skimming the floor. Function and style, yes!
The credenza turned changing table serves a dual purpose and was a (major) estate sale score.
You can't see it in this photo but the arrows above this arrangement are attached to the wall with washi tape, so cool! I really love the artwork and special photos arranged here, and the triangle mobile really pulls everything together seamlessly.
I really dig the thoughtful details found throughout the room and appreciate the nod to old westerns and other fun, vintage inspired touches.
I often find myself drawn to nurseries like this one with a more mature vibe and wonder if I'm not in the minority? Are you a fan of the more grown-up inspired space, or do you prefer a nursery with a definite childish feel? Do tell!
I love the mid century look going on here and my son's room is done in gray because that room was our office and we didn't know what we were having, so figured the gray would like nice and then we could put fun pops of color on the walls. Classic and nice. The credenza looks great too and probably stores a lot inside and it will grow with the child into adulthood too.

The twins of a 14-year-old mother will be placed with her aunt and uncle pending a future hearing.
The custody battle has drawn significant controversy, not because of the mother's age but the alleged antics of Child Protective Services and the court. The mom's attorney says CPS is attempting to make it hard for the mom and her relatives to prove themselves as fit caregivers in court.
A lawyer for CPS told FOX 26 investigative reporter Randy Wallace the teen mom clearly lacked the resources to take care of her children. The 14-year-old's mother was deported from the country and the father is serving a prison sentence for murder. CPS got involved in the case because the teen mom reportedly ran away from her aunt and delivered her baby at a hospital.

Get Fit Like the Stars of the Scorpion King Movies
Written on January 6, 2012 at 1:48 pm , by Karla Walsh
Written by Lauren Cardarelli, editorial intern
Ab-tastic actresses Selina Lo and Krystal Vee trained rigorously for their roles in the new Scorpion King 3 movie so they could not only look the part, but also perform their own sword fighting stunts. The starlets' moves in the action-packed flick, available Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray, are enough to inspire both yogis and runners alike to sign up for a martial arts class.
We got to chat with Selina and Krystal about The Battle For Redemption and their portrayal of the ancient art of Muay Thai for the film. Here's what we learned about how to kick some butt!
- It's hard work, but they make it look so easy! "I train six days a week as my normal routine but before the film started I had specific training for the movie where I trained with the Seng Stung team," says Selina, whose background lies in a less fluid Wushu style. "I had to learn some choreography as well as Muay Thai moves and adapt to using the film swords."
- Get started with a group class. "It is always much easier when you are doing something interactive and you have other people to support you. Start slow and build up your workout as it's easier to conquer things in progressive steps," Selina says.
- Don't give up. "The spinning kick was one of the few ones that was hard to achieve. With determination and discipline, I was able to nail it down," Krystal says. "Finally I was able to do the spin and open up my hip to get that power kick going."
- Replenish after training. "I increase my complex carbohydrate intake by 600 calories when filming to fuel my body for a day of combat. It's important to give your body the necessary ingredients to perform your best," Selina says. "I generally eat a lot of complex carbs and white meat, but I'll also have things like peanut butter sandwiches on set for quick energy releases."
- Mix up your workouts. "It's tough to start with, but if you're looking for a whole body workout that's not boring, Capoeira is the one," Krystal says. "Ballet is very good, too. It works with your core and strengthens every part of your body. Plus it's fun!"
Now tell us: What flicks inspire you to stay fit?

October 2 2014 Latest news:
Lousie Wilson
Monday, March 5, 2012
With one of Norfolk's most innovative chefs in the kitchen and a regularly changing seasonal menu, The Ingham Swan is a pub like every village should have, says LOUISE WILSON.
Owned and run by chef Daniel Smith, The Ingham Swan is the type of establishment every village should have – whether for a drink with friends, a lunchtime or evening meal or a hearty Sunday lunch – but alas it is not to be. However there is nothing to stop the occasional visit, which was exactly what we had planned one recent weekend, when the winter weather ensured all outdoor plans could be put on hold and we made the wise move to reserve a table for Sunday lunch.
Having already perused the website, some of our dining choices had been made before we even left home and after being shown to our table, over pre-dinner drinks and nibbles, we were swift to confirm our decisions.
For starters we chose the smooth wild mushroom and celeriac soup with chives and truffle oil and the sea salt and black pepper crispy calamari with lemon mayonnaise and lambs leaf lettuce – both were superbly contrasting and equally delicious.
Onto the main course, we opted for slow roast belly pork with fondant potato and roast beetroot and the pan-fried sea bass and lemon sole with olive oil crushed new potatoes, mussel broth and buttered spinach – once again both were beautiful – from the succulent pork with such rich flavours, to the lightness of the fish with the mussels adding a further dimension.
It seems though that Daniel wanted us to try what he regards as the speciality of the house, the roast rib eye or fillet of beef, and as we had not made this selection we were treated to a small in-between-courses taster - it was wonderfully tasty and tender and we could understand why it would be a favourite for diners.
Finally onto pudding and once again the choice was a challenge as everything sounded so good – but we plumped for prune and almond tart with vanilla ice cream and the vanilla seed pannacotta with dark chocolate mousse and madelines. Once again, both were a triumph and left us confirming that a return visit in the future would be inevitable.
With a pedigree that includes working for Michel Roux Jr at La Gavroche in London as well as at Morston Hall in North Norfolk and The Wildebeest Arms in South Norfolk, Daniel prides himself on his regularly changing menus that embrace all that is fresh, seasonal and local to the area and his food does not disappoint. I would suggest that you make a reservation as you wouldn't want to miss out on such a feast.
Sunday lunch is priced at £18.50 for two courses and £23.50 for three, with a supplement of £3.50 for the beef fillet.
There is an extensive wine menu, along with recommendations for each course, as well as beers from the local Woodfordes Brewery and a range of soft drinks.

NORFOLK, Howard and the rest are right. The Lessingham Star does very good food but it is still a true pub. Welcoming. The proprietors keep a few interesting cask beers and both eaters and drinkers seem well looked after. In contrast the Ingham Swan does not welcome drinkers and their food is pretentious and overpriced. Nowhere to park either. Car park full of staff cars! Hall Inn at Sea Palling also a MUCH better bet.DJMarsman, if you can do a 60-mile round trip and consider best part of £20 for "Sunday" lunch, you must be on Film-Star income. Then, since you`re driving, you won`t be spending much on their overpriced alcohol products, will you? But of course, you must have a chauffeur! bookworm, I don`t think your Carvery Sunday lunch is much different than the Ingham one, quality wise. Price and Pretension are the defining characteristics.
Saturday, March 10, 2012
This is not a pub. It is a Restaurant. A bit surreal to imagine "every village having one like it"! Ask local beer drinkers what they think before you call it a pub. A thinly disguise free advert. Then there`s no such thing as a free lunch. Or is there?
Monday, March 5, 2012
pricey.i will stick to caster carvery thanks.
Monday, March 5, 2012
In my opinion, easily the best restaurant in norfolk, i would love my village to have the ingham swan, it would save me driving the 60mile round trip, but who cares the food is worth it! 'pricey' no way, the quality is exceptional and the service is first class.
Monday, March 5, 2012
Lessingham Star any day of the week.
Thursday, March 8, 2012
One mention of beer and several paragraphs about food. Not really a pub then is it?
Friday, March 9, 2012
This used to be a fantastic pub with a great atmosphere and good beer, then it was turned into a very exprnsive Bistro, the food is good but you need a bank loan to have a good meal and it is not the sort of place that belongs in country villages, big city pub for the rich now, no real atmosphere, ok for a special occassion but certainly wouldn't recommend it. Plenty of good pubs in the area that serve quality food at sensible prices.
Friday, March 9, 2012
Exactly. There is a world of difference between a pub that serves food and a restaurant that has a bar area. Shame that we are all losing the art of conversation and sociability. Go into most "village pubs" now and all you will hear is subdued conversations and the clatter of knives and forks.
Saturday, March 10, 2012
I agree with the earlier comment. This used to be a very nice local pub but now it is just an expensive restaurant. It's a pity the locals are not made welcome here. Try the Lessingham Star for a great meal at a reasonable price with a great atmosphere.

NEW LONDON, WI (WTAQ) - New London police say they have arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with two fires early Tuesday.
Police say they have referred charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, arson and damage to property to the district attorney.
Authorities say there are no other suspects at this point.
The first call came in around 3 a.m. for a fire at the Copper Shot Bar in the 300 block of N. Water Street. Two people were hurt jumping out of a second-floor window escaping the blaze. Six people in all were displaced.
Then about an hour later, fire crews were called to New London High School for a fire damaging some playground equipment. That playground equipment is mainly used for an early childhood program. The outside door of the school's library was also damaged.
Classes did go on as normal. No damage estimates are available yet.

Premiere Date: 09/11/2012
The R.A.C.W. is a non-profit, living history organization based in Northern California. Our goal is to perpetuate public awareness of, and stimulate interest in, the historical significance of the period in United States history termed "the War Between the States" and commonly called the American Civil War. Organized in 1991, our membership continues to grow.
We strive to recreate the drama, mannerisms and realities of life during that pivotal time in history. The RACW is composed of Confederate, Federal and Civilian representatives. We portray life as it was for members of both armies in the camps, on campaign and in battle, in addition to the impact this conflict had on civilians. Our members are dedicated to presenting the visiting public with the most authentic presentation of the Civil War era possible.
The RACW sponsors events in the Northern California area during the spring, summer and fall. Our events are co-sponsored by organizations who desire to bring an educational and entertaining event to their communities.
Individual members are also available for presentations to schools and community organizations. We can help you bring history alive in the classroom with reenactors wearing the clothing of the period, using the speech and mannerisms of the time and playing and singing the tunes of the 1860s. Hear their personal stories, taste their foods, try a few period crafts and enjoy a unique perspectiOve into the past.
We are a family-friendly group who enjoy participating in an atmosphere of fellowship and camaraderie. If you are interested in joining the rapidly growing pastime of Civil War reenacting, visit our enlistment page to learn more.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new once-a-day pill that combines four medications in one to treat adults with HIV. But the price manufacturer Gilead Sciences plans to charge for the drug is too high –around $28,500 per year — according Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "That's shockingly irresponsible," he told the New York Times. "It's just unsustainable at these levels." A Gilead spokeswoman said the company would provide discounts to state AIDS Drug Assistance programs, and it gave rights to some Indian companies to make generic versions of the drug to sell in poor countries.

Quick Take: Traders Tuning Into Streaming Music
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jill Malandrino spoke to Fred Ruffy of WhatsTrading.com to discuss the recent fluctuations in Apple (AAPL) and Pandora Media (P) resulting from Apple's WWDC conference.
Yesterday, Apple announced the much anticipated release of iRadio, the company's product for streaming music. Short-sellers had pushed shares of Pandora lower by 11% leading into the event, with the hope that it would crush the music company.
In short, it did not. Ruffy said that while iRadio still has some unanswered questions, investors seem to believe that it is not an immediate threat to Pandora, whose shares closed higher yesterday and are up to around $15.50 today.
Apple's push into the world of streaming music suggests there might be more money in the industry than many had previously thought, said Ruffy. It has also increased speculation Google (GOOG) or Amazon (AMZN) may look at Pandora as a takeover target.The implied volatility has come down a bit in the options for both stocks, suggesting that the market is in "wait-and-see" mode going forward. Ruffy concluded that Pandora may reverse some of its recent losses now that the Apple event is concluded. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @traderboy23 Follow @optionsprofits

Double Jeopardy and Multiple Punishment in DUI CasesSunday, April 28th, 2013
When a person is arrested for DUI, his driver's license is confiscated by the arresting officer and he is given a notice of "administrative suspension". He is also given a citation to appear in court to face criminal drunk driving charges.
These are usually two very different procedures: (1) the administrative suspension for driving with blood-alcohol of .08%, is administered in most states by its department of motor vehicles, and (2) the criminal prosecution for the two separate offenses of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI, DWI or OUI) and driving with .08%, which takes place in the courts.
In other words, even though he only committed the act of driving once, the individual is being prosecuted in court for two different crimes: DUI and driving with a .08% BAC. He can even be convicted of both offenses (although he can only be punished for one). How is this possible?
It gets worse…
The driver has already been punished by one state agency (the Department of Motor Vehicles) for driving over .08% by having his license suspended. If he is prosecuted and convicted by another agency in the state's criminal court of driving over .08% (and/or driving under the influence), he will be punished once again. The sentence may involve jail, fines, DUI schools, community work, probation, ignition interlock devices — and a restricted, suspended or revoked license.
How many times can the state prosecute a person for a single crime?
Our Constitution says only once. The Fifth Amendment specifically provides that no person shall "be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life and limb". So is this another example of "The DUI exception to the Constitution?
Let's first take the question of charging defendants with both DUI and .08%….
The courts in the different states wrestled with this one for awhile, but eventually came to the conclusion that the driver actually commited two different crimes. As an Indiana court reasoned, "the test to be applied to determine whether there are two different offenses or only one, is whether each provision requires proof of a fact which the other does not." Sering v. State, 488 N.E.2d 369 (1986). The .08 statute required proof of blood-alcohol concentration; although blood-alcohol evidence was used to prove the DUI crime as well (a person is usually presumed to be under the influence if his BAC is .08% or higher), the offense could be proved without it. So it's ok to prosecute and convict him for both crimes — so long as you don't punish him for both.
Well, what about punishing the driver by suspending his license when he's arrested — and then punishing him again in court? In fact, punishing him in court with a sentence that in some states may include another license suspension?
This one caused the judges a bit more trouble. This wasn't a case where the person was committing two arguably different crimes: he was being punished by two different state agencies for the same crime: driving with .08% BAC. But there had to be some way to get around the Constitution…
The courts could not agree. Some said that there was no double jeopardy or double punishment since the DMV license foreiture was not really a "punishment" but only a "civil sanction". Others took the position that this was, in fact, a violation of the Fifth Amendment, and they relied upon a 1989 U.S. Supreme Court decision (U.S. v. Halper, 490 U.S. 435) which involved civil forfeitures and criminal punishments for selling marijuana. In that case the Court held that a "civil sanction" was actually a punishment — and thus double jeopardy — if (1) the "clear focus of (the statute) is on the culpability of the individual", and (2) the legislature "understood these provisions as serving to deter and punish". The Court added that "the historical understanding of forfeiture as punishment" weighs heavily in favor of the conclusion that forfeiture continues to serve punitive purposes.
Well, relying upon the Supreme Court's ruling, an alarming number of courts around the country were throwing out criminal DUI charges on double jeopardy grounds. This, of course, infuriated MADD, legislators, prosecutors, law enforcement, insurance companies and pretty much everyone else who did not take the Constitution too seriously. But rescue arrived from a later, more conservative U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1997, Chief Justice Rehnquist revisited the forfeiture-punishment problem and did something that is rarely ever done: he criticized and flatly rejected the earlier Supreme Court's ruling: "We believe that Halper's deviation from long-standing double jeopardy principles was ill-considered. Halper's test for determining whether a particular sanction is "punitive", and thus subject to the strictures of the Double Jeopardy Clause, has proved unworkable. Hudson v. U.S., 592 U.S. 93 (1997).
Since then, the courts have had little trouble finding that a police officer who confiscates and suspends the driver's license of a drunk driving suspect is merely administering a "civil sanction", not "punishment", and that when he is later convicted in court and is fined, jailed and has his license suspended again, well that'ss not really double jeopardy or multiple punishment. It just looks an awful lot like it.
From Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less".
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things".
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master, that's all".

Formed in the Bay Area of Northern California in 1983 under the moniker of Legacy (the change to Testament came when Billy arrived to take over from Steve Souza on vocals and Derrick Ramirez was replaced by Skolnick), Testament grew up at the same time as Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth, being one of the five bands forming the core of what would become the world famous thrash metal scene. But from the beginning Testament trod a unique path, making sure that their extraordinary musicianship and intuitive feel for harmonies amidst the savagery established itself as a stand alone sound.
1987's debut release "The Legacy" threw down a marker, and by the time Testament were about to release 1988's "The New Order" their legend was already hitting enormous popularity. However, their extreme talent got muddied and compromised by the weight of expectation, and while albums like 1989's "Practice What You Preach" and 1990's "Souls Of Black" continued to open the same creative doors for a slew of bands which Testament have always done, their level of recognition was perhaps not commensurate with their influence over an entire genre. Talent + personalities can equal problems, and thus it was that after 1992's "The Ritual", Clemente left and Skolnick decided it was high-time to essentially find himself and reclaim a few of the teenage years he lost.
"I was in high school, 11th grade, when I joined this band," laughs Skolnick, "so I really needed to go away and grow as a person, as a musician and get the necessary confidence to enjoy this and gather the strength to make things happen and fight for changes. When I left Testament I still felt like the shy, annoying brother in the room; when I came back, I felt like a respected, professional musician."
And so it was that for many years, the core creators behind Testament's music remained separate. Friendships were maintained and good times still had, but musically, matters remained separate as Skolnick explored jazzier rock climbs, Christian engaged in his own projects whilst Billy and Peterson kept Testament alive with a series of different musicians coming in and out. Bostaph had his first short stint with the band in 1992 (in the midst of joining Slayer), while White Zombie and Anthrax drummer John Tempesta came in with death metal guitarist James Murphy to play on 1994's "Low" album, perhaps Testament's most progressive in terms of material range.
Peterson and Billy continued to fly the Testament flag, releasing the decidedly deathier tones of "Demonic" in 1997, while 1999 saw Murphy again on guitar with Slayer's Dave Lombardo on drums for "The Gathering." Arguably the album which led Testament back onto their path after a little radical experimentation in the recent past, "The Gathering" became a meeting point for dozens of hungry young metal acts looking for a new metal God. But Murphy was diagnosed with a brain tumor from which he did eventually recover, and in 2001, Billy was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. It was to prove a life-affirming, as well as life-changing, event.
"I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason," says Billy. "We never split on bad terms, we always kept in good contact, we saw them on the east coast, we always supported Alex when he came through town, and we never discussed getting back together, we'd just hang out. But when I got sick and there was Thrash Of The Titans concert, that was the first time a reunion of any sort happened. It broke the ice, Greg (Christian) put some stuff behind him with Eric and I to get up there, I performed a song with everyone and that was the start of it all coming together again."
From that came the deeper realization that with a fair few years between them (not to mention oceans under bridges) it was time to jump to the next level and simply get creative with each other again.
No expectations.
No grandiose plans.
Just pure powerful playing, which is why 2005's 10 date European reunion tour (featuring all the original members) ended up spurring studio work.
"We didn't ever plan this," affirms Skolnick, "the reunion show in 2002 at the Dynamo was the catalyst, we never made any plans, we just enjoyed that show and then ended up doing a few more, which proved to us that now we're older and more mature we can all enjoy being in this band. And once we'd done some extra shows in 2005, once we'd seen the reactions, once we'd seen a new audience mixing with the old, we just took things to the next logical progression."
It is the journey to "The Formation Of Damnation" and the affirmation of the quintet's chemistry which is one of the album's strongest elements.
"Sometimes you can have a lot of ideas but keep on clashing with the people you work with," says Peterson, "and that's what's happened to us in the past. But with this album, we really do just appreciate what we have."
"There's been such a growth in our maturity and comfort with each other," furthers Billy. "Eric's developed into such a great rhythm player and Alex really acknowledged that as well as his creativity. Those two really gelled, and Alex also had a lot of input with arrangements, he really did fine-tune a lot of the songs.
"In some sense I took a step back from the writing this time because through it all, whatever differences we may have had, Chuck and Eric have kept Testament going," explains Skolnick, "I knew they had a way of working together, so a lot of my work was assisting with their writing process. In some ways it was like a production role, and I'd never say I was a producer here because the album was in it's early stages, and for the most part I really enjoyed the role."
"It felt quite natural, especially as I know Eric's writing so well," adds Christian. "I know he had this vision in his head for the songs so I just did my best to help pull them out, and because we understand what each other are saying we can work really quickly. The chemistry between Eric, Alex, Chuck and myself is amazing, and it's amazing how well Paul Bostaph has fit in, really, on every level it's been such a positive experience."
"This is like family," says Bostaph. "I've known all these guys for over 20 years, we've played together, bands I've been in have toured with them and I am a huge Testament fan, so joining this time was a huge no-brainer. And again, as Greg said, for me it was a case of giving myself to what this Testament album needed, and that was my only focus, making sure that the band got exactly what it needed from its drummer."
In closing, take a moment to consider the following.
In 1988, Testament spoke of a new order and here, in 2008, Testament speak of the formation of damnation.
"It's of our time right now," concludes Peterson, "the world we live in is rife with aggravation, politics is forever more about money rather than doing what's right, we all keep taking from mother earth. human beings are basically done! We're setting ourselves up big-time for damnation, and that's what these songs talk about, from love to politics to holy wars, it's all there, it's all written about."
You probably don't want to hazard a guess as to what Testament, the true societal prophets of rage, will be speaking of in 2028.

It's not even Memorial Day and it's already sweltering. The 74-year-old priest shuts the door of the sky-blue church van, fishes in his shirt pocket for the white collar he keeps there, and tucks it in place around his neck. He always wears the collar on his walks across the neighborhood. It is an advertisement that he is no one to fear. Still, in this heat, it would be nice to leave it off.
