ALBANY -- It looks like the Terrell Academy Lady Eagles softball team has found its new Amanda Cook.
Cook was last year's shutdown pitcher who led Terrell to the GISA Class A state title before graduating and signing with Darton, but taking over her role as ace this season is Laura Lee Flournoy, who is now 2-0 in her first two games. Flournoy pitched a four-hitter with one walk Monday to beat a bigger Class AAA Southland Academy program, 2-0, then tossed four innings of no-hit ball Wednesday in a 19-5, five-inning rout of yet another larger GISA program, Deerfield-Windsor. The Lady Eagles, leading 19-0, brought on freshman Brittany Spilman in relief in the fifth inning and the youngster closed out the game.
Monday's win was also made possible by Taylor Haynes' two-RBI single, while Wednesday's victory saw three Lady Eagles step up big: Carley Law (3-for-4, 3 RBI); Cassidy Pickle (2-for-3, 3 RBI) and Maura Milliron (2-for-4, 3 RBI).
Terrell gets back in action Tuesday when it hosts rival Randolph Southern.

Alec Baldwin has gone on another rant against a reporter -- but this time it's pretty justified. The Daily Mail wrote a mean-spirited attack against his pregnant wife, Hilaria, saying that she was tweeting about frivolous things like ideas for wedding anniversary gifts while everyone else was mourning at James Gandolfini's funeral. According to Alec and Hilaria, however, those tweets were hours later. Now whether or not Hilaria should have stayed in mourning all day can be up for debate, but I believe she was not tweeting during the funeral. And Alec was so crazy mad that he launched a vicious personal attack against the reporter, calling him a "queen" and saying he'd stick his boot up the guy's ass but he'd "dig it too much." Alec doesn't get points for maturity, but he does get points for having his wife's back.
After the story, Alec wrote in tweets that he has since deleted (Alec, that trick never works when you're a celebrity):
My wife and I attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit writes this f****** trash. ... My wife DID NOT use her phone, in any capacity, at our friends funeral ...
He also wrote that he would "f**k" the reporter up and called him a "toxic little queen" and a "little bitch."
Many outlets are going on about Alec's "homophobia" -- and yeah, calling someone a queen and making digs about anal are really not cool. Not mature. Alec did not need to stoop so low. But it is indeed frustrating when people make shit up about you and publish it as fact -- or when they do that to your wife.
However, Hilaria came to her own defense on Twitter -- and she did it much more rationally than Alec. She pointed out that her tweets were later and the time difference between the UK (where the reporter was) and New Jersey (where Hilaria was). The fact is, Hilaria is an adult who doesn't need hot-headed Alec rushing to her defense in the most asinine way. Part of learning to love is allowing your spouse to fight to his or her own battles, while still having your partner's back.
Maybe Alec will learn that one day, but I'm not counting on it. At any rate, I'd hate to be Alec's future kid's teacher. Can you imagine what that poor soul will have to go through?
Do you think Alec could have handled this better?

And here we have it...When a liberal uses homophobic language or racist language, they are always "justified" in doing so. Some days I am just sick with the hypocrisy that I can't stand people anymore.
He went way too far. If he hadn't gone on his rant 90% of the world wouldn't have even known about that bit of gossip. He made it worse and revealed his homophobia. The sheer volume of tweets is not "defending your wife" it's "you have real rage issues". Pair that with his emotionally abusive parenting style and his hair trigger temper, I predict divorce within five years.
So Paula Deen gets her life destroyed and Alec is justified? Right...
@thetruthteller african americans are a legally protected group, homosexuals are not, and until that changes a double standard will apply.
Asked Dee " Can you guys read? No one said he was justified" Says Kiri "but this time it's pretty justified"
Dee - however you want to try and spin it the reporter indicated both in the story and the headline that Baldwin was justified in using homophobic slurs against the reporter.
Making excuses for bullies is why bullying continues

Another loss...nothing new.. its the 11-12 Blazers. That is why I did not get excited when we won vs a sub par GS team. Its all good though, Im just sitting back watching. They will win a few more and then well get to watch other teams play in the playoffs.Anyways I will say something that bugs me-LMASoft as butter...a jelly fish..Hes a really nice guy..heard he is sensitive. That may be too. I like him. BUT wow..he just lets Collison punk him. You can start seeing the game plan every game now from all the teams. Play faceup vs Aldridge, bump his body...and he'll just melt. He will step back and shoot off balance turn around jumpers. And after that, what does a team have to worry about????? Outside scoring? LOL..no. Or a Batum who is a freakin enigma , will he come out scoring..or go hide in the corner like hes in trouble?? wierd....we have a wierd freakin team lolOnce in every few games LA will man up and go to the rim, use his body..get inside..and when he does..he scored 30 points...you would think a light bulb would go off and go hmmmm..when I stay aggressive and score in the paint I have great games and we win more often. So either he is stupid..or hes not a true leader..and I dont think LA is stupid. But is that what you want from your go to guy?? Just take a punch in the mouth and melt away..heck no..I dont care if you miss shots..or mess up..IM A BLAZER FAN!!!!!!!!!!....give me some dam passion!!..PleaseI like what I see in some of the new guys tonight, thank you gentlemen. I respect Mathews for hustling...but thats about it..this team just rolls over and dies...Gets run over and doesnt get up. You can say a million times that your not giving up and your trying to make the play offs...but I am not seeing any action..not seeing that out on the floor.If we lose 70% of our games but atleast give it our all, I would be a much happy Blazer fan right now. I have no words really to even explain how disappointed I am.
Hey Mike; great blog and a rightful contribute to OKC. I only got to watch glimpses of the game while trying to focus on my bowling. As said before, I am a one trick pony; either watch the game or bowl, I can't seem to do both. I am a big big Blazer fan, and I don't see why LaMarcus has to take on all five players to get beat up to prove he belongs on the team. When anybody else can make a shot, or take pressure off him, by spreading the floor he only has to go against 4 that sags in on him. But, gee I wonder why he can't get inside? When you are the only scorer out of five and the other team knows that, guess what they are not going to let him get in the paint, I don't care who thinks he has no passion after getting smacked around. If you find a crack in the wall then you can get through the wall, but if not you will just bounce off and make the most of it. That is my take on LaMarcus.You can single out every player on our team and disect them and find fault. to pick out one and rake him over the coals really agitates me. It takes five players to play the game; to be the leader and go to guy is one thing, but to be the only guy to go to is completely different. No, LMA is not stupid, but neither is OKC defense. when they know LMA is the only threat, they will shut him down like all the NBA teams. Give him just one other guy that can score like JJ on a consistent basis, and he will take it to the rim and get his 30 while getting punched in the mouth, but until then too many punches in the mouth will slow any body down.
Mike: I am sorry about the rant. We are on the way out with 3 of our starters being gone for the night, regardless of how good or bad they are, is tough to overcome. I thought we played them tough and with passion and we were very competitive. I like our new players game and I think Flynn and JJ are keepers. I think because of Thabeets length he will be a good project player to train for the NBA. We had nobody with enough experience to set up the offense last night or nobody that could stay with Westbrook. Say whatever, but with that disadvantage against the top western conference team and we are sunk before we get started. but I am pleased with our performance.
eh, i know most blazer fans hate the lakers with a passion and kobe even more. even mike and mike appear to dislike him. So maybe this is a bad example.. (well it kind of is because kobe is kobe and LMA isn't on his level...)but it still holds true. when kobe and shaq broke up. kobe couldn't do it on his own. you could say alot of things why. but the basketball reason was the defence was keying on him. he wasn't going to score 81points everynight so someone else would have to help him in carry the load. which wasn't happening consistantly... kobe needed gastol. needed someone to at least make the defence honor.now moving to the blazers. the defence is set to stop LBA. 1v5 isn't good odds. i dont care how good you are. even kobe couldn't. jordan couldn't either.LMA needs someone to consistantly score 15+ points. that was sopposed to be jamal crawford this year or felton but frankly. neither has played well this year. neither are the player the blazers need. they need someone to make the defence play honestly. someone to take advantage of them triple teaming LMA. No one on this current roster does that consistantly. this season just shows hos much the blazers miss brandon roy, and i'll say. dre too.. those two made the defences play honestly. felton/crawford just arn't doing it. like they were sopposed to.hickson is quite aweful on defence.
Oh what would I give to have 5 players with J.J. Hicksons hustle and attitude?
still sick of watching us miss baskets...still sick of watching no defense...still sick of watching no play making...just saying
Why doesn't somebody call out Westbrook for being a reckless oaf with no class. The way he fouled Batum when his team was ahead by ten or more was dangerous and unprofessional.Bad. I love basketball on the court. Leave football plays on the grass.
Everybody is sick of us missing baskets, no defense and no playmaking. It is true I am sickening Blazer fan and a worst homer then Mike, and I am sick of everybody being sick of us not playing up to their standards. It is said by that other Mike very often that it takes lots of time to play great team defense; it takes time for players playing together. So because of the fact that everybody but LMA, Batum and Matthews are all sorta new, and it takes all 5 to play team d. play making and even making shots. Beings as how we are pretty much out of the play-off equation because of all the above, lets give these new players some slack. Hickson may learn to play good or adequate D since that is desire anyway. Whatever we have is what we have for this year.Ancientone I am with you on JJ's hustle, I know you are a stickler on defense, but against OKC that is thrown out the window anyway.Angi: can you call out the famous piranha for help. I can't remember the rest of her nick name.
I'm enjoying watching Hickson play. That's a really good low post player and he really didn't get enough love for going 9-for-10 from the field... What a great pick up he was... Once again though, Blazer guard play and defense was a catastrophe. Flynn seems to be be a keeper as a backup, but he seems to be a jump passer, which is a fairly serious flaw. Probably fixable, but it needs to be addressed. He may be quick and effective on offense but there was one play last night where Westbrook juked him and he came about 4 feet off the ball — easy layup...Oh well, at this point it's all about getting two decent picks and landing a couple players in the next draft. Worst case scenario would be actually making the playoffs and losing one of those picks, then getting annihilated by 30 points four games in a row by the Thunder...
There is nothing surprising here. The team has traded away veteran players from last year and is calling it a season. They are not a playoff team and it is now time to look at players that were benchwarmers elsewhere to see if they fit into our "bright" future. I would not expect the team to be back in the playoffs for at least 2-3 years. Twelve years since we got out of the 1st round. What a story of mediocracy!!!
It just shows what can happen with good ball handlers who get inside and put pressure on the defense. Portland has not had someone capable of wrecking a team like these three can since Brandon Roy. Instead we have become a jump shooting team without the shooters needed to be successful at that. Penetration and tough defense are OKC and Portland would do well to try and emulate that.
I watched the whole game, and there's a few things that really jumped out at me almost from the opening tip:OKC looked very, very, very good on both ends of the floor. Their execution on the offensive end was clinical.Nolan Smith was a bit overwhelmed I think. He just seemed like he was trying to do too much. Not an uncommon mistake for rookie point guards thrust into a starting role on the fly, and going against that defense made it even harder for him.I wasn't really impressed with Hickson after the GS game, and I sadly didn't get to watch the L.A. game, but I was very impressed with his performance last night. If he can continue to bring that kind of energy and hustle on a nightly basis it will go a very long way towards helping this team in the future. Keep him please!The game was decided in the first 12 minutes. Partially this is due to very poor shooting, part of this was due to poor offensive execution, and part of this was due to early foul trouble for both Pryzbilla and Thomas. I am curious why we didn't see more of Rhino in that game. I think because of his size and nose for rebounds we could have really benefited from him. Also I have not seen much of Pryzbilla late in games and am wondering why. Yes I know he's old and not in the best of shape, but we really need his presense down low during close games to help shore up our defense and rebounding.LaMarcus is our all-star and number 1 option on offense, but we really need to find second AND third options we can look to every night to fill in the gaps. Most teams know that if you want to beat the Blazers, punch 'em in the mouth early, then shade Aldridge and keep him to around 20 points. My point is that LaMarcus is still just 1 guy, and defending 1 guy is easy. Defending 2 is sometimes difficult but manageable for most good defensive teams. Defending 3 is a challenge for anyone. OKC and Miami and last year's Dallas teams are prime examples.I liked what I saw from Flynn last night as well. Give him more minutes. If Nolan is struggling on a night, give Flynn a shot.Advice for coach K:How can I put this delicately? Keep up the awesome work on getting our guys hustling and playing hard. Ride the hot players in any game as long as you can (until they ask to be taken out because they are tired, or are showing clear signs of fatigue). If a player who is a normal part of your rotation isn't playing will, don't be afraid to pull him out and ask him what's going on, why he thinks he isn't performing well. In the mean time, give someone else a chance. Good things may happen. All players have off-nights, but many games are won by surprise, unusual heroes.
HG- ummmm trust me, LA could have been much more aggressive. I am not talking about when a team doubles or triples LA. There are many times he is one on one with a defender and can take him if he wants to, but instead passes the ball. Collison pushed him out everytime, did a great job keeping him from getting the ball. IF your going to a true all star player and leader of a team, you are not going to allow that....So once again..I will re state, I am disappointed with Lamarcus.
That being said, once again its a team loss. We are simply not as good as OKC, that is a given. But coming to the RG used to be a serious thing if you were the other team. No matter the record, you knew you were going to have to fight to beat a Blazer team at home. Not anymore.And yes of course the new guys that just came in, it takes time to fit it...I understand that..I do after all have common sense. Besides the new faces are playing pretty decent. What I dont like is watching a Batum who gives us a awesome game 1 night..and then for 2-3 nights will just disappear completely!!..I shouldnt complain about that? lol cmon.And I have seen teams all year plan their D around LA, when that happens..other players on this team needs to start shooting the outside shots to open the defense up, and find ways to cut to the basket as well.BUT if you are being played 1 on 1 and you can score on a guy..do it!!!..take the opportunity please...you mentioned that you want to be a "starter" for the next all star game?? Yes LA did say that...well step up and play big! If you got to take slap in the face..bumps and bruises to the basket and make some free throws so we can die in honor then fine, I just want to see more out there! Make all the excuses you want, bottom line is that OKC came in tonight and did what ever they wanted. Are they a very good basketball team? Yep they are, but your telling me we couldnt have made it harder for them, by playing solid defense and fundamental basketball? Get out of here!
There is a lot of things all players on every team can do to make it better, But why pick out LMA, because he wants to be an all star; maybe he can't pack the load of being the only scorer, maybe he is just tired, No matter what the reason, he is our PF and I like his play.
Aldridge is not the one to blame for the loss. What about guys like Crawford who shot horribly? What about our total lack of defense? What about our horrible first half? Aldridge actually played pretty well. I would have liked to seen him take more shots since he was shooting pretty well. The thing we needed last night on offense were two more options. We got a big boost from Hickson but no one else really did much. Just like we call some games team wins. This was a team loss. The truth is that everyone should have played a little better but they did not. They just lost to a good team.Hickson and Flynn did some great things out there. Hickson was probably the best player for us. He was playing defense and killing it on offense. Flynn had 10 points which is good but there were too many defensive lapses. We really needed someone in there who could defend Westbrook better. I thought Batum did a decent job on Durant in the second half. I liked what I saw from Hickson and Flynn but I am not ready to name either one as a long-term solution until I see more. It's going to take more than one or two games to prove they can help us for a long time. I hope they do that.
NEW JERSEY WATCH4th worst record16-35 .314OKC is all that. Best defense I've seen them play. They have all the pieces. Durant is Durant but Westbrook is the key to their success.I agree with you Mike. Everything would have to go perfectly for the Blazers to beat them. They are in a different class right now. I actually thought the Blazers played well. They made a nice run in the third. Matthews got up in Durant's junk.Everybody wanted Nolan to get some quality floor time. How did that work for you. I wasn't that impressed with Jonny. Yea he's fast. It's only one game I'd have to see more. Certainly a defensive liability. Might make a backup.It's one of those years when I get excited about a Blazer game- to see the other team play.GO NETSGO BLAZERS!!
MB: Looks like you were having fun on this blog. You used terms like "well-oiled chainsaw" and "caged animals" and used your metaphors and similes really well. LOL. I liked the way you said they were "grinding" us out the whole game. One could say you had a lot to talk about from the opposing squad. That's fair because they won. But it only takes me back to a time where your blogs were so colorful with red, black and white all over it. Bias was bliss. This all sounds like poetry :(. Sad story but you also pointed out that this Thunder team was a 23 win team in one season. That got them started and have been a wrecking machine ever since. There was also a time where Portland was with the Thunder every inch of the way. Now like you say, the thunder have "gracefully waltzed" up their way to a championship window. Portland could only wish now and have no windows but 4 grey walls. I hope losing and losing and losing will only put adversity into these players heads and that they fully understand this moment. Because us fans and they too hope we never have to come to this breaking point again. At least not in the near future. I hope that losing our ROY, our ODEN, our players who have come in and went during that era, McMillan, coaching staff, key components that were involved in the process of building a championship contending team will only usher in a new era of greatness. That "thunder" greatness. Because that's what we are all about to witness, which is what we want.
I'll actually be pretty surprised if the Blazers don't beat the Nets tonight. The Nets are awful.
soulseeker We are playing the NewOrlean Hornets tonight. but we should win against them also.
heh...my bad. got a lil ahead of myself there.
First off I said this was a team loss, not LA's fault. Please read. And why pick out LA? Because he is "our" all star power forward. When I watch Kevin Love, he often down low, grabbing boards getting put backs, nice post moves despite double teams, he scores and scores and grabs boards, last game was 40 points 19 rebounds. Do you not think a team plans their D around Love when they play the Wolves? lol...yes they do. Look at Blake Griffin..a monster..he gets played hard too, teams throw all kinds of defense at him..but still he shows that effort.LOOK, if you guys are happy with LA's play, then thats your opinion and you are welcomed to that opinion. I feel that if your a 6'11 all star power forward, you should be aggressive and scoring as many points as you can to help your team. And 5 rebounds there 8 rebounds there just does not cut it either.Is Jamal playing like crap? yep...are others not stepping up?? YEP...YEP.. Is any of them a all star?...are they the #1 go to guy on this team? Are they going to be here next year? ....NO, NO...PROBABLY NOT. I have my reasons to focus on LA, and I honestly do not feel like he is playing to his potential.Moving on....hope we can pull out a win vs the Hornets...Go Blazers
whitefeather;LMA has never been a strong rebounder. I view it as one of his weaknesses. To his credit he has worked in the off season and improved parts of his game every year. I hope he works on rebounding.Kevin Love is a rebounding beast. Something you didn't mention is his passing. Great outlet passer. He reminds me of Bill Walton in a PF body. Yes I said big Bill. Love is in the conversation for MVP. Keep an eye on that Minnesota team in the years ahead.
whitefeather, i get your frustration because aldridge has shown what he is capable of but we don't see it on a regular basis. last year when he wanted to be in the all star game so badly and then playing like an animal afterwards showed that he can be dominant, but it was short lived. that's the frustrating part. his heart just isn't into it this year. he's not strong mentally.
Completely agree danman&Divotking...LA proved last year what HE CAN DO..when he tries. And this year Im just not seeing that, at least not very often. He does need to work on his dribbling, I have noticed that when LA is facing big guys who are stumps, he has a hard time getting past them, and its not because hes slow...LA is quick and athletic...it is because his dribbling cant keep up with his movement.I hope he can be more determined...but hes played for what 6-7 years now? Its time to play hard every day..like a vet..if not then to me thats not a leader. A solid pf, 2nd go to guy...but not a #1 option on a potential championship team, which is the end goal right? lol
It's getting hard to beat the bottom feeders on our home court. That was smelly. Jamal hold your nose.
Divotking, how close are we to bottom feeders. I thought NOH's played tough tonight. I know in my heart that we could have blown them out, but the Blazers has been guilty of playing down to their opponents for years.Now, I hope they play up to the opponent tomorrow night.

Happy Thursday Peeps!
Can I first start off by saying…tomorrow is FRIDAY (*fist pump*)?!!!! Ok now down to the business…Celebs like SJP and Katie Holmes are in love with these leopard printed jeans/jeggings. My fashion buddy at work Meredith (8a-10a Producer) emailed me yesterday saying we must get on board. So all the ladies and Mike Jerrick of course were all excited about these jeans and planning our outfits. Now I know you are probably like …"uh that sounds like a hot mess"….BUT hear me out. By the end of this post, all you fab chicas will be on board looking for some leopard printed jeans this weekend during your trips to the mall!
Here's my take: These jeans are totally hot! Now I prefer the gray and black print over the tan and brown leopard print…but to each her own. Pair these amazing jeans with a cute top (something simple because the jeans are enough on their own), some cute pumps (red, black, blue, etc-adds a pop of color) or booties and you are ready! Of course the celebs are rocking the high end version by a designer named Current/Elliot, they are going for $198. Designer Joe's also has a pair priced at $170. For all my budget fashionistas out there---Macy's has a pair for $42 bucks! I've linked all three for your guys…they are selling out fast!
Now who's trying the leopard printed jeans with us??? Send us a pic showing how you rocked your new jeans!
Xoxo :)

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett's power in the General Assembly got another boost this week.
Since Sen. Robert Brown stepped down to run for mayor of Macon, the Senate Democratic Caucus needed a new leader.
Sen. Steve Henson, D-Tucker, whose district includes Gwinnett, won the job during an election this week.
"Both Steve and Vincent bring valuable leadership skills to our Caucus team," said Caucus Chairman Sen. Doug Stoner, referring to Henson and Sen. Vincent Fort, who was elected to fulfill Henson's former role as whip. "This has been a seamless process within a caucus that honors individual opinion, while working together to advance Democratic principals.
The move gives Gwinnett leaders a high rank on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of the General Assembly.
Sen. David Shafer, R-Duluth, is the GOP Caucus vice chair, and in the House of Representatives, Rep. Donna Sheldon, R-Dacula, is the Republican Caucus chairwoman, and Rep. Brian Thomas, D-Lilburn, is the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
Camie Young can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Something new
I always try different mediums and approaches w/my work. It keeps me fresh and excited @ the same time adding to my repertoire(hopefully) Plenty of times it ends up in failure, but sometimes I find myself coming across a happy accident. This was the first time I had drawn on the cardboard backing of a notepad in attempt to add a new approach to my work...... I hope you enjoy the result, I did too, @ least temporarily.

Snow Owl
Awhile back I posted some field sketches from the ArtisZoo that I visited while on vacation in Amsterdam. At the end of that day's visit, while sitting atop the window sill overlooking the canal, I did this image of a snow owl at the lunch buffet.

Modern Knit Jacket 5 5
Modern and Versatile This jacket is flattering, modern and versatile. It has a nice cut and the pockets are well placed so they do not add extra bulk. Quality is good. although the price is a bit steep for a jersey jacket, the weight of the fabric keeps it tailored yet comfortable to wear and its versatility makes it worth it. April 27, 2014
GREAT MATERIAL Material helps with an excellent fit-almost tailored made. March 22, 2014
I second the previous reviewer's comment about this cool, smart jacket running a little bit small. I just reordered one size up; looking more carefully at the sizing chart, the 6 is more appropriate than my usual 4. March 10, 2014
Great colors! I love the pinkish stripe on this jacket and the styling is cute, but I think it runs a little on the small side. It is just thick cotton, so I also decided it was a bit expensive for fabric. Seems like the price should have ran the same or less than the asymetrical knit jacket 30422, but then again if it is a super fit, I'd have kept it (which was my feeling about that asymmetrical jacket). Same thick cotton, casual look. Maybe I'll size up and try it again. Definitely runs about a size smaller than the asymmetrical jacket, in my view. February 8, 2014
fabulous jacket! I love the colors and weight! Despite the feminie colors, the jacket looks quite sharp. I can wear this to work and on weekend. February 4, 2014

Heyooo everybody, happy 4th! The good 'ole U.S. of A. isn't the only thing to celebrate today - we've also got a whole batch of new artists debuting their tees next week! And to ring them in in true American fashion, we asked them to tell us about that band or song that instantly gets their creative juices flowing. Their answers prove that we've got some great music listeners on our hands (and had us discovering some new jams on Spotify!). Check out what they had to say, and be sure to tune in next Monday to snag their awesome new tees!
Q: What band or song instantly gets your creative juices flowing?
"To make me think outside the box: Devendra Banhart. To help get pencil to paper: The Lumineers. To maintain a steady flow with my ink work: Message To Bears or Phosphorescent. To reflect seriously on my design so far: Radiohead or The National. To find harmony in my colour choices: The Fleet Foxes. Right now: First Aid Kit." Buy this tee now!
"I need just four simple words to start the working day: 'Hey! Oh! Let's go!' Of course, I'm talking about the Ramones; their songs give me the right boost and tickle my daily creativity." Buy this tee now!
"Arcade Fire." Buy this tee now!
"I don't really have one. I just Muse…" Buy this tee now!
"I am very eclectic in my musical choices. I can listen to French Slammer or ABD AL MALIK (and his absolutely great album "Gibraltar") next to gorgeous J.S. Bach's the "Six suites for unaccompanied cello", followed by French composer Pierre Henry or Junkie XL, then onto traditional tribal music from Namibia like "Songs of The Ju'hoansi Bushmen" (incredible sounds!) or DJ Krush (OuMuPo 6), and finish my day with Ali Farka Touré. All this great music triggers very positive vibes in my brain and body. And, speaking about Bach and his magic Cello Suites, he played in a loop while I created my illustration "Concerto". I love that flowing Cello. Even dangerous spirits of the forest get docile with those sounds." Buy this tee now!
"That's a cool question! Most of the time I inject myself with Megadeth in 'The Big Four' where I can easily turn it on on Youtube. You should check it out, they are awesome! Metal up!" Buy this tee now!

VALPARAISO | Not a seat was left in the small room at the Holiday Inn Express where people gathered Saturday to organize support for gun rights.
"These people are 2nd Amendment people," said Mark Leyva, of Highland. "We are here to support the 2nd Amendment."
More than 100 people assembled for the Valparaiso, Ind., Day of Resistance, which coincided with the national Day of Resistance.
Leyva, who said he was the Tea Party organizer for Lake County, said the group was "trying to get people united."
"This is based on the 23 executive orders from the president to restrict gun regulation, and that's what spurred this event," Leyva said. "That's really what this is today is just an awareness of trying to bring people together. One of the reasons people are here is to voice their opinions of what's going on in Washington and in our administration."
Several people in the crowd rose from their seats to speak.
"They are very upset at what's going on in Washington and in the country because guns don't kill people," Leyva said.
Deb Nedza, of Medaryville, said she "dragged" her son Tyler along with her to the rally "to see democracy in action."
"I wanted to show my support for the Bill of Rights and freedoms we have," said Nedza, holding an American flag. "I'm afraid if they take this away we'll be like that book 'Animal Farm,' where we lose it all and our children won't even know what we lost. If we lose this freedom, what's next — freedom of speech?"
Nedza said she and her husband, Don, who is in the Indiana National Guard, are not gun owners, but they still support those who choose to own guns.
"We're still able to speak up for what we believe in," Nedza said.

A Provo woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing a cell phone — while at court for a previous theft.
On Monday morning, an Orem Justice Court employee set her cell phone down on a chair and walked away, and a few minutes later, a woman sat down by the unattended phone, said Orem Police Sgt. Craig Martinez. Surveillance footage showed the woman pick something up and put it in her pocket and walk away — and then the phone is gone, Martinez said.
The woman tried leaving the court house, but was startled by the deputies who provide security for the building, Martinez said. She sat on the stairs for a while, then went to the women's rest room before going into a probationary hearing for a 2012 shoplifting case she was convicted in.
While she was in her hearing, the cell phone's owner realized it was gone and notified law enforcement, who reviewed the surveillance footage, found the phone in the rest room and relayed the information to the prosecutors in the courtroom.
The judge immediately terminated the woman's probation and sentenced her to 90 days in jail.

Mediterranean One-Dish Meal Recipe
I came up with this recipe one night when I was improvising with what I had on hand. I love to make simple, healthful, one-dish meals with lots of vegetables. Feta and Greek olives give this one a depth of flavor people seem to love! —Donna Jesser, Everett, Washington
- 3/4 pound Italian turkey sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/4 cup Greek olives
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is browned and onion is tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and oregano; bring to a boil.
- Stir in quinoa. Top with spinach. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: Look for quinoa in the cereal, rice or organic food aisle.

My husband called this one "keeper"! I didn't have sausage links but substituted 1/2 lb. turkey breakfast sausage which I cooked with the onion. I also substitiuted canned tomatoes with onion, garlic and oregano because that is what I had on hand. I think you could also substitute spanish olives for the greek with only a little change in the overall taste (though I would recommend the greek if you can splurge on the cost!). This is definitely an easy recipe I will be making again!

5 stars
Levi's.com is the best place to buy Levi's. my husband has worn Levi's for over 50 years and always will. We live in a rural area and would need to drive 100 miles to buy them. At our age, online shopping really pays off and Levi's are such a consistently great product
They always fit and are long lasting.

Levis are the Best!
My husband loves his Levis and won't have any other kind of jeans. We live in a rural area and would have to drive 100 miles to buy them. Thank goodness for online shopping. Levis.com is a great place to shop..They are quick, efficient and have just what we need and deliver to our door. As we are in our 70's, that means a lot to us...Thank you for a quality product that has lasted many years.

not bad
cash back so easy

Watch out if you buy 50% off online
Their product isn't always what they describe in terms of size, fit,and color. They have a clause where anything 50% off is non refundable. If you can't confirm the % off, they may try to say you bought at 50% off and deny your return. See my yelp review below:
If there was a negative rating, this store and it's manager today would deserve it.
I purchased 3 pairs of jeans online on black Friday at 40% off ($26.40). Two of the three pairs didn't match their online photos/description. When I came in to return them, the manager (9:22AM) asked if I knew their original price since they have a clause where any purchase of 50% off is non refundable. I didn't know the original price but I knew I bought them at 40% off since I found out about the sale through an affiliate site (fatwallet.com). He looked them up on his register and claimed the jeans were originally $58 and that I was only able to get store credit. I told him that his price was wrong; at the time of purchase, I was only given 40% off. He said the original price would not have come down from the $58 in his system. I let him know that I deserved a full refund and I was in a hurry. He wasted more time by calling their online customer service department to verify the original price. While he did that, I showed him the affiliate site on my phone stating 40% off on black Friday.
After he wasted the most of my time for a simple return on a slow Tuesday morning, he neither admitted a mistake nor apologized. I pointed out that he was wrong, his pricing was wrong, he wasted more time than necessary, and he handled my transaction in the worse possible manner. At that time, he said he was sorry to hear that in the most shallow tone.
If you own their stock, I'd take a closer look and dump them as I did years ago. Today pushed me away as a brand loyalist for thirty years. Their product and service is in the pits.
4 stars
Very good quality clothing.
I got some great deals during Black Friday week. The clothes arrived and I am very happy with them. I just wish they had had more inventory in my (admittedly common) size.

Yes, we're always watching
How you raise your kid is really no one else's business. But that doesn't mean we're not watching and judging your parenting choices. Parents and non-parents alike can't help but have opinions about the things on this list. Just remember, it's all in good fun (and that you've probably judged other parents for at least a few of these in your lifetime as well).
Also see:
- "We're not having any fun over here either"
- Is it possible to raise your kids without raising your voice?
- Embrace the Chaos: Worst judgment for moms comes from within
- Bringing baby to a spa: OK or no way?
- Embrace the Chaos: Yes, I'm a judgy mommy
Wow... just because you preface an article with it being all in fun doesn't make it so. It sounds like "I hate to be rude but..."
I do agree that out of control children have no place at expensive fine restaurants and as a person, regardless of age; it is rude to not consider other people around you. On the other hand, if you don't want to see children while you're eating, don't go to family restaurants.
What my children wear is a reflection on me. Good, because I'm proud that I have a 5yr old boy who likes bright red knee socks, red crocs, red shorts and red shirts, all at once. Oh wait, should I censor my child because some random adult with nothing better to do has decided to judge a 5yr old? Sorry, one of the things you learn when you're a parent is that what other people think really doesn't matter. It's very liberating.
Did it ever occur to the author that with their attitude, others might just being using their child's schedule as an excuse not to have to see their self-righteous, childless friend? - Just saying…
here you say you don't want our kids to misbehave but you don't want us to discipline them ether, you know the biggest problem with children today is there is no discipline, parents are afraid to discipline their children for fear of losing their children and yes I realize there is a fine line between discipline and abuse however I got my fare share of smack's on the bottom and I grew up fine, any time outs I got or lost privileges I never took seriously.
Germs ...really come on I know loads of adults who are way more disgusting then my 2 1/2 year old could ever be.
Security Items, really who cares, my daughter has for the most part left her KIKI in the truck however not because I care what some dough brain might think but because of fear of losing the silly thing, and didn't you realize the reason they look so worn out is because they get thrown in the wash every chance we get and I don't know any child that ever had a soother long enough to get yucky looking those bad boys get replaced often.
Have you ever heard of picking your battles if the child is dressing themselves then that's that?
Children out to late that really depends on the circumstance, I don't know about casino's since where I live you can't bring children into a casino you have to be 19yrs or older and why would you want to, so Irticle on children can't comment on that , but not all people should be parents ect ect...nuff said
Crazy schedule are a part of everyone's lives regardless of wither they have kids or not
As for the whole leash thing you know what they say "better to be paranoid then dead"
Breast feeding to long ....O give me a break that's the same people who aren't comfortable with someone breastfeeding period, I personally don't like breastfeeding past a year and a half but that's me , to each their own. I really dislike these types of people they make it really hard on new moms starting out and trying to breast feed ...these women are uncomfortable enough...leave them alone for goodness sake.
In the end even the best behaved children will throw you a curve ball every once in a while, nobody is saying parenting is easy and nobody is complaining about being a parent, however people who have never had a child of their own really can't relate, cause sometimes **** just happens, that's the joy of being a parent, it's never boring and always interesting, most challenging job I've ever had and the most rewarding too
I would like to present to you a list of how the author should act in public, I would appreciate your comments on this!
1) Don't talk on your cell phone in a restaurant or plane, it is far more irritating and and will usually last MUCH longer than a tantrum
2) NEVER eat anything but the healthiest foods (we ARE judging you!!)
3) If strollers aren't allowed on the sidewalk because they take up too much room, than you CAN'T walk side by side with a friend OR walk right in the middle when you are on your own (I know you do it, we all do)
4) No fights or arguments with friends or spouses in public or anywhere when someone can hear you. this includes when your windows are open, and when you are talking on your phone (see point #1)
5) Never go to work when you are sick, that small office can pass germs much faster than the open spaces of a mall. Also, just to be safe never go outside when sick, or even leave your room.
6) Never dress in anything but your BEST clothing when you go out in public, even in your back yard! You never Know who is judging you!
7) Don't go out past a reasonable hour, even on weekends people might get the wrong impression of you. and you need your sleep.
8) Don't stick to an exact schedule such as going to work on time or to a doctor's appointment, remember, teaching a child about routine will never help them in the real world!!!
Children are people, not animals. Some of these points might make a bit of sense in a different context but if parents followed your rules their children would just stay at home eating salads and playing video games without the benefits of social interaction.
1) Not take our kids to nice restaurants, but make sure to not let you see us feeding them the food that is available at lower price point joints.
2) Stay fit, but not have kids in strollers or meet up with other mothers to keep that up.
3) Not travel with kids, or DRUG them if you do? Just so that the other passengers aren't inconvenienced? How about YOU take a private jet?
4) Make sure we teach our children to not show emotion, and make sure to chastize them for not being developmentally capable of controlling themselves yet....and don't buy groceries unless you can afford childcare in case you should run across the judgy types.
5) Although you will be mostly at home to prevent bothering others, make sure that when you've had no sleep you never lose patience...oh and wear some lipstick too.
6) Although no one else has to quarantine themselves when they're sick, make sure you do it with your kids. No matter if you have other children and have life necessities to take care of.
7) Make sure your kid doesn't tantrum, but make sure you also don't let them have any comfort items that aren't a Burberry bag or gucci that might actually keep them from throwing a tantrum.
8) See above, make sure your children are well accessorized. After all, they're just little dolls aren't they?
9) Don't go out with your kids during the day, don't go out with them at night. Get a personal assistant to help you with your shopping because the world should be as sanitized and adult as possible.
10) Your kids may need you, they may have needs, but isn't it ok to just ignore those for your self-centred indulgent friends that hate your kids anyway?
11) Control your kid with your mind, do not try to restrain them in any way. But make sure they're well-behaved or we'll judge you!
12) World Health Organization? What's that? Who cares if they recommend breastfeeding until the age of two and beyond (well beyond being able to ask for a snack)....
13) And lastly, don't have kids. Buy a chihuahua and a nice expensive purse to carry him in...who needs people anyway? Oh, and isn't that money and time better spent texting and on your Iphone?
Guess waking up every morning with my beautiful family, with real kids who sometimes misbehave and breastfed until at least 2 1/2 but know enough not to judge people or say nasty things about them, is just annoying.
This was probably written by people from an older generation (like me) who are tired of parents of today either pandering to their kids' every whim or who have no business being parents at all. I've seen kids at high end restaurants misbehaving and parents parading their 1 month old infant in the middle of July with no sun protection and in January with no socks on their feet or hats on their heads. This generation of parents needs to stop accusing everyone of being selfish and start using some comment sense when it comes to raising children.
Ok all you spazzy oversensitive parents take a breather! Maybe you have forgotten that having children is a CHOICE and that everyone else should not have to put up with your misbehaving, screaming, dirty, stinky little brat. I know its hard to believe that not everyone finds little baby junior son of a b.itch as adorable and angelic as you do.
And please stop acting like popping out a kid is some magical thing that makes you so freakin special. Most anyone can have a child, it takes work to be a parent though.
Keep your kids under control, teach them some manners and use some common sense and there wouldnt be articles like this written for you to throw tantrums over. Get a grip.
I think some people did not read number one where it said this was all in Good fun however what irked me was the those who are childless comments and a few of those who have children but are trying to be all my kids were and are well behaved all the time ....like come on who are you kidding.....Ok I was once childless too, as we all were and I too use to think get that crying baby out of here!, can't you stop that kid from screaming. But now I have kids and I can honestly say that sometimes baby's cry and kids throw tantrums. It's easy to say "make that child stop doing whatever behaviour you or someone doesn't like" however it's really unrealistic after all children aren't little robots they don't have off switches or mute button's" wouldn't that be something if they did". As for this list well here's my two cents
Kids in Nice restaurants..... If it's a really fancy restaurant ...well I have never seen a child in a really fancy restaurant .And if you're talking about a family restaurant well it's a "family restaurant" thus children are present.
What I feed my child is no one's business but mine and what we eat when we go out is by no means what we eat at home, were out just like you and eating something we normally wouldn't have at home for dinner.
Strollers really you can't come up with anything better than that?
Children on planes , not all children travel badly ...people always comment on how good my kids are , " they didn't even realize that they were there", however for those moments that are out of a parents control like change in pressure , which bothers some more then other's . You really think parents enjoy listening to their child scream and cry...it bothers us probably more then you, some things you just got to grin and bare.
I don't stand there and look embarrassed I continue shopping It's really easy for someone to say you should leave however I'm what you call a work widow(for those of you who don't understand that means my husband is away working all the time so I basically raise the kids and do everything by myself) This means yes I have to take the kids to the grocery store "the horror" LOL and I don't have the luxury to leave the store or where ever I am if my children aren't behaving . I'm there for a purpose and since I'm a stay at home mom getting a sitter in would be kind of silly also I live 1 hour and 20min from town so when I go it's an all day trip. I can't just zip in and be back in 30 min I don't know anyone who would stay that long to watch the kids other than day care and it's not easy to get your kids into daycare , that's if I even felt comfortable with leaving my kids with somebody. I don't like it any better than you do however my children, my husband and myself need to eat , among other things so suck it up butter cup. continued
I'd like to see how saying this to someone with children out load to their face would go over. It wouldn't cause criticizing ppl is not nice. thus think what you want but keep it to yourself cause we all have "we could do it better things when it comes to ppls kids" even friends........ but you know what...........they aren't your children so you do yours and i'll do mine.
Wow, did the people who wrote this have kids?! I agree with some of it, such as the bad food choices...but WOW if a child feels comfortable with an old teddy bear, is it REALLY worth judgement on the parents?! I think what would be worth judgement is the parent who won't allow a child to bring a comfort object, since generally as parents we are dragging our kids along to somewhere they don't want to be. It's only fair to make sure they are happy too.
What a ridiculous article. No one has the right to JUDGE anyone, for any reasons. Let alone the assinine points listed here.
Pg 8 Germy kids - Um, teaching anyone takes time, and learning takes time, nobody should be confined to their house until they have learned everything, after all, you seem to forget that the sidewalk is a shared space. How rude of you, stay home and stop infecting everyone else with your rudeness, I'm trying to teach my children to be polite, and your attitude is not helping.
Pg 9 security blankets - It's a big world out there, and when you're that young it's a big scary world, having something that makes you feel safe sometimes helps. Besides, teaching a child that young to take care of something they care about, and having it for years also teaches them responsibility. How do you think your parents taught you that if you don't take care of your things you will lose or break them... Step 1 - find something the child really likes... Step 2 - teach them to take care of it.
Pg 10 Clothing choices - At some point in time, a parent has to let the child learn how to dress themselves. I for one will not be the type of parent that still has to dress my 20 year old toddler... you might be, but I won't. So yes, it's a reflection on me, a parent that is teaching my child to be independent... how is that a bad thing?
Pg 11 Kids out late - Really this depends on the conditions. A single parent, working 2 jobs might not have any choice but to go grocery shopping at 11 pm with their children... well it's either that, or there's no food in the house... what's worse, having the child out late, or starving the child? Sometimes, there is no choice, a parent does what they have to... On the other hand, out all night at the casino is another matter all together.... but hey, at least they didn't abandon the child so they could go to the casino... Not that I approve of the casino choice, but it could be worse.
Pg 12 Crazy schedules - What can I say, some parents are more crazy then others about the schedule their child is on. I have to ask however, what bothers you more, the childs crazy schedule, or that the parent (your friend) cares more about their child then they do about you? Next question, what are you a child? No? then stop acting like one... In other words, the point you're trying to make here is childish.
Pg 13 Leashes - Young children can disappear in less then 5 seconds, some parents have experienced this... very often at a mall... when the child does this and thinks it's funny, you (as the parent) have to teach the child that it is not acceptable, and if that means using a leash, so be it. What's worse, putting a leash on the child after they've taken off a few times, or not putting a leash on the child and letting them continue to take off until eventually the time comes that you can't find them?? Sometimes parents have to choose the lesser of two evils and don't for one second think that parents enjoy making that choice.
Pg 14 Breast feeding - In this case I actually agree completely, however that's my personal opinion/belief. There is a lot of scientific proof that this practice is healthy for the child.. and there is proof that it's not a good practice... so really, this point is a personal choice. What's a parent to do... make the choice that suits your personal beliefs... to circumcise or not to circumcise... should the child be raised catholic, or protestant, or.... When to stop breast feeding... Sometimes a parent just makes the choice based on their own personal beliefs... And what gives you the right to insult anyone's personal belief?... Actually I thought the right to practice personal belief was protected by the law?.. providing it doesn't effect any one else's rights that is, and does this practice somehow restrict your rights? No? Then shut up and have some respect for other people and their beliefs.
Here's what I think.
Pg 2, nice restaurants- I agree fancy restaurants and kids don't mix, family restaurants however are exactly that FAMILY, and that includes the children. Don't like it, then don't go to a FAMILY restaurant.
Pg 3 Food choices - some children simply won't eat a salad, so what would be the point of only feeding them something they will not eat, so that the parents can throw it in the garbage? Then what, the kids will fill up on junk food when you're in the bathroom because they're still hungry... On the other hand the child should not be eating hotdogs and fries every day... personally I let them have that crap food for a meal 1 to 2 times a week, and healthy foods every other day... the healthy foods are however things the children will actually eat... roast beef, spaghetti, stir fry, etc.
Pg 4 Massive strollers- Hate to tell you, but everyone is allowed to use the side walk, that includes parents with strollers... how else do we get our children to various places like the local park... drive? ya, that's great for the environment, and teaches our children to be lazy. Sorry, but you have no valid point here.
Pg 5 Kids on planes - umm, what is your point? want a better seat? pay for first class. Everyone is entitled to travel, not just the childless... and umm, the seat the kid is in cost just as much as the seat you are in.
Pg 6 Public Tantrums - You have a lot to learn about children... first of all a public tantrum is the childs attempt at forcing the parent to give them what they want, if the parent gives in, in any way (that includes leaving the store) the child learns that they can force the parent to either give them what they want, or the parent will not get what they want, like the groceries... no, let the child have the tantrum, and rather then talking behind the parents back that's dealing with it, walk over and say something along the lines of 'you know when my child does that, they lose something, last time they last their game boy'.. say it so the child hears, this teaches the child that nobody in the store is going to help them, and it makes the parent more comfortable to deal with the situation PROPERLY. The only time I would judge a parent is when they 'give in' to the child to make them stop the tantrum.
Pg 7 Public discipline - Actually public discipline of a child is very important, it teaches them that they can't get away with something just because you're not at home. The parent that is willing to scream and give a little spank or a time out to a child in public is the same parent that will NOT do anything worse when they are at home, I worry more about the parent that doesn't discipline in public, because seriously, what do they do in private that they are not willing to do in public?? Think about it, then think of all the times you've heard the statement 'I never would of thought 'John (or Jane) Doe' would do that, (s)he always seemed so gentle, I've never even heard him/her raise his/her voice'
To be con't
I can't believe any parent would find this article "pretty good for the most part". It's complete rubbish. And let me say that the last thing I'll concern myself with while out with my children, is whether or not I'm being judged by these fools. Judge away pal, it's probably all you're any good at anyway!
OMG!!! MSN are you for real?!?! This by far one of the most IGNORANT, HORRIBLY written, DISGRACEFUL articles!!!! And the whole caffeine stunting growth?! OMG are you serious? I give my kids sips of coffee to let them get a taste of it just b/c they have little sips here and there DOESN'T mean they're going to stop growing!!!! As for the rest of things we as parents get judged on, SHAME ON THOSE WHO DO JUDGE, because YOU WERE ALSO THAT CRYING KID ON THE FLOOR ONCE, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO WEAR THAT COSTUME TO THE STORE ONCE!!!!..like really GROW UP!!!!!
What the hell do you childless ppl expect of us mothers who sit at home with our kids ALL day EVERYDAY to do?!? Not go ut at all?! Like GEEZ, you don't think we as mothers are tired of the tantrums, and maybe JUST MAYBE our kids are wearing a mismatching outfit(oh no) to AVOID a tantrum?, i don't about you but i'd rather put a "leash" on my child ANY day if it means my child is going to be SAFE, yeah dumb thing eh? something like keeping our kids safe!! And if MY child decide she wants to wear a helmet so be it(and for the parents out there who's kids HAVE to wear them for medical reasons all the power to you) Alot of the things listed here for things we're being judged on is pathetic. So what if my child's eating a hot dog, bet you didn't notice the FRESH FRUIT she ate for dessert, did you?
This article was a complete waste of time of my evening the ONLY time i get to eat a hot meal, or just sit for 5 minutes.....UNBELIVABLE that MSN would even allow this as an article!!! SHAME ON MSN!!!!
