The last time O.M.D. played the U.S., it was to tour stadiums with Depeche Mode.
Monday night, the original lineup, fronted by singer/bassist/keyboardist Andy McCluskey and childhood pal/singer/keyboardist Paul Humphreys, scrunched into The Loft at Center Stage, prompting McCluskey to joke, "This wins the prize for the smallest room we've played."
No matter, as McCluskey made impressive use of his eight feet or so of space, alternately flailing his arms, playing bass like a New Wave robot and snaking his hands through the air with movements reminiscent of Hugh Grant's character in "Music and Lyrics."
But McCluskey, in his white shirt and skinny tie (discarded by the second song), proved a self-deprecating host of this synth-fest, which adroitly balanced O.M.D.'s U.K. hits from the '80s – "Tesla Girls," "Locomotion," "Souvenir" – with some of the group's excellent new songs.
"It is compulsory to dance as badly as I do," he told the vocal crowd of more than 500 before delving into the sweetly melodic "History of Modern (Part 1)," a sort-of title track from last fall's "History of Modern." The album represents the first new material from McCluskey, Humphreys, drummer Malcolm Holmes and keyboardist/saxophonist Martin Cooper since 1986.
The band's new work, particularly "New Babies: New Toys," which opened the 100-minute set, and the giddy "Sister Marie Says," an obvious club smash, dovetail perfectly with O.M.D.'s more-extensive-than-you-think catalog of fizzy synth-pop.
It's a testament to the strength and catchiness of the material, as well as McCluskey's stage presence, that the audience was rapt and involved during the performances of the band's current work. Usually, new songs signal a bathroom break or beer run, but this crowd was content to listen, bounce and clap. Not to mention, a bathroom break or beer run in such a small venue would barely last half a song.
But, when a band hasn't toured in nearly a quarter of a century, an audience wants to hear the hits they may never get to experience live again.
O.M.D. knows this, and, after treating fans to the blissfully escalating harmonies of "(Forever) Live and Die," with Humphreys, a more sedate presence in a black suit, handling lead vocals, it was time for the inevitable.
"I get into trouble for saying this is the song that ruined our career," McCluskey said a bit wryly, adding that O.M.D. never plays it at any U.K. shows (and for good reason – it only reached No. 48 on the charts there, while hitting No. 4 in the U.S.).
The song, of course, is the one that even casual '80s music fans know – "If You Leave," from John Hughes' teen dramedy "Pretty in Pink."
Considering the begrudging tone that introduced it, O.M.D. played the song perfectly, with live sax and spotless harmonies adding texture that no amount of keyboards could duplicate.
The mostly middle-aged crowd also responded fervently to the springy synth runs in "So in Love" (McCluskey impressively hit the high-note chorus, too) and the sumptuous "Dreaming," both songs a frequent presence on Sirius XM's 1st Wave channel.
O.M.D.'s brief U.S. tour pit stops at SXSW this weekend before wrapping in California March 26.
Do we really have to wait another two-plus decades for an encore performance?

If you enjoy learning in a closed minded environment where the history teachers don't believe in anything that happened more than 7 thousand years ago than this is the school for you! I went to BCA for two years before leaving to go to Saint James School (which, by the way, was the best decision I had ever made. I definitely recommend looking at SJS since it's only a few minutes away). Some of the teachers at BCA are nice, some are not. Most of the kids are kind of friendly, some are not. The science textbooks are published by a Christian publisher. The history textbooks, as I mentioned before, start at around 7K years ago. You have to attend a god-awful bible class. Lunch is better than public school, but still not that great. The only positive thing I took away from the school was Pre-Algrebra. So if you have a bit more money to spend, send you kids to Saint James School or some other private school that doesn't look down on you if you aren't Christian or LGBT. I knew two people who left the school because they didn't feel welcomed because they weren't Christian. That is all.
I attended BCA my 5th grade year through graduation. I had the best experience with BCA and am very fortunate to be involved there. BCA helped me find who I am, what I want to do in life and showed me how to be involved. The school is small, I know each student there even the first graders. The school is like a big family. I have always been an athelte. At BCA I played every sport and learned in grew everyday. Great teachers, great students, a great family.
I wouldn't consider any other place for my daughter to go to school. At BCA they go above and beyond teaching, they encourage the students to think on their own, to problem solve and be creative. Students are given choices and responsibilities and they often rise to the occasion. God is at the forefront of education at BCA and when that happens, you tend to have intelligent, rational and respectful students. Submitted by Candy Foltz, a parent
My daughter has been enrolled at Broadfording since Pre-K, she is now in 10th grade. I can't imagine her getting a better education anywhere else. I know that she is safe and will graduate with skills and knowledge she would not receive in a public school. The tuition is very reasonable and the before and afterschool daycare and activities are great.
I absolutely love this school. The teachers there are great! I have to drive a distance but I don't mind the sacrifice for my kids. They are learning so easily now and the best part they are getting fed Gods word on a daily basis which I love!
Broadfording is an excellent school. The overall leadership is good. The teachers are great. They encourage parental involvment. The children are treated lovingly and with respect. At Broadfording they have a chance to shine and be the best they can be.

Jaw Operated Pin Hole Camera
CFC Project at the Stamps School of Art and Design.I created a pin hole camera that one wears on their face in an attempt to extend memory. The jaw operated pin hole camera is meant to document events in one's life. By using string the camera fits on ones head covering their eyes slightly. The pin hole camera's lens is also covered so the strings one sees while in the apparatus appear in the photos made as well. When the wearer opens their mouth an exposure is made. Each exposure takes approximately 30-60 seconds depending on the available light.
Pin Hole Camera: Box of Raisins, Aluminum Can, Empty Roll of 35mm Film, Roll of Kodak 35mm color film, Electric Tape, House Key, Binding Twine.

"As a result, too many of Thief's locations feel like videogame levels rather than actual places."
Yes! This was exactly my problem with Deus Ex: Human Revolution, an otherwise decent game. Somewhere along the way towards crafted narrative experiences, constrained partly by the limitations of console hardware, we've mostly lost that old idealistic notion of level design as world-building.
Even in something as vast and open as Skyrim for example, the dungeons are an absurdity of linear design. Every single one.

Things I Learned After Rearranging My Home Office
So, I spontaneously decided to rearrange my entire home office this afternoon. Before I knew it, I was already knee deep in wires and was even a bit nervous that I wouldn't finish this post in time, but fortunately remembered some precautionary measures I've taken in the past to avoid an apocalypse of missing wires, repeated rework, and wasted time.
Keeping required components wires plugged in during the rearrangement process might create some issues removing from behind a desk or a set of shelving units, but you can rest assured that it'll save you the headache later of fumbling around looking for where that "thin, black cable" went in the mess of other black cables.
If you do need to unplug while moving stuff around, placing similar items close together helps avoid confusion between audio vs. video vs. computer related parts. Trust me, this will speed things a lot.
Thinking holistically will save you tons of time later. Consider plans for wire management, how wall art will be hung relative to the new placement of the furniture, and acoustics if you're one to care about the quality of your listening experience. It's always better to get things done in one fell swoop if you have the opportunity to do so.
Speaking of opportunity, there's no better time to consolidate all that loose paperwork, week-old mail, and other miscellaneous items on your desk. Recycle what you can, file away the rest.
While I'm still only halfway through, I'm pretty close (and much closer if I were to carelessly toss everything in a pile and have to sift through it again). Perhaps a full peek by next week? I've got my fingers crossed.
Got a tip to share? Let us know below!

Great article! What a beautiful marriage of technology and art/design at your workstation! Who makes your white computer speakers?
Review of the AktiMate Mini speakers coming later this month! :)
Bite the bullet and label both ends of cables. You'll move someday and need that label.
What I learned after rearranging my home office is that I don't want a home office. I'm still figuring that out.
@VJ - big agree. I finally labeled everything when I swapped out the printer the last time. Power cords, too, and converters. It may still be a tangle behind the desk, but I know what connects to what.
i agree with perfidia. i'm currently trying to go paperless, which is a terrible headache. but the end result shall be glorious!
i am wondering if the owner of this office lives in seattle? I recently saw the same dresser as the one in picture #2 at a local thrift shop for $60. I cannot believe I passed up that deal seeing how nice it looks in this office. :-(
Here's the tip you requested:
Compare sporadically with spontaneously.
@VJ, you are so right.
Well done.
Thanks for catching the typo @rapunzel!
Nice setup! What are those 2 gray boxes on your desk? headphone amps?
Yep, they're headphone amps and a DAC! :)

In a survival situation, you never know what you will face or how long before you get home. You must be prepared for anything and have equipment that you will realistically have on your person should you need it. The Patented and unique Survival Slingshot is designed to be a vital tool for survival, hunting, camping, archery and fishing.
When it comes to finding food from game, we believe having a active approach is a critical compliment to more passive means. For example, you may well be able to set a snare but end up with nothing to eat. With a high powered slingshot, if you can see it, you can hit it. Every Survival Slingshot is capable of shooting standard arrows which opens up larger game to be taken. We have seen full sized deer taken with our standard 25LB bands. Need more power? Upgrade to our 45 LB pull archery bands! It is important to remember, slingshots never run out of ammunition allowing you to use the included shot ammo you have with you or rocks that you can pick up in the field.
The Survival Slingshot has a watertight hollow handle which allows you to store a generous eight cubic inches of survival items to give you a wide range of capability for survival. It folds down to a compact size to store and weighs only two pounds. Every model includes a compass and the integrated rail system allows you to customize your slingshot any way you may need.
Uncrate is a great place to look for cool new gear for outdoors, hunting, camping and of course, survival gear! Check it out here http://uncrate.com/stuff/survival-slingshot/August 16th, 2014
The patented Survival Slingshot which is for hunting, archery and bowfishing was featured in the cool tech section on Foxnews.com Survival Slingshot featured on Fox News-check it out and the other cool toys! http://www.foxnews.com/tech/slideshow/2014/07/15/57-more-must-have-tech-toys/#/slide/survival-slingshotDecember 11th, 2013
"As a member of Seal Team Six we tested and evaluated every type of weapon and survival gear imaginable. We were constantly searching for state of the art gear that was rugged and reliable. The Survival Slingshot is totally unique in that it delivers a host of options including; an archery system, a rail system, a mounted compass, a watertight storage area and it can withstand all types of environmental challenges. I would highly recommend the Survival Slingshot for anybody looking for a powerful and versatile weapon / survival tool that can be used for hunting, camping, target practice… Read More

Most importantly; Have Fun!
Whether you're a veteran or a noob, the most important thing is that Fantasy Football can be a lot of fun. I'm a die hard Bengals fan, but fantasy has me paying attention to other teams. It has helped to expand my football team/player knowledge beyond that of just my favorite team (I still never draft Steelers though). Online leagues are a lot of fun, but start your own and invite friends and family. It's always nice to have bragging rights for a year.
Whether you knew all of this already or if it's news to you, hopefully someone will find my tips helpful. Follow these tips, and with a little luck, and the others in your league might have to call you "Champ" for a year. Best of luck to everyone on the upcoming season!
Want more Bengals news? Like Stripe Hype on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, or grab our RSS feed. And don't forget to show the author some love on his twitter:

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Slightly disappointing. Was expecting a parody of "Be My Guest", a la "See My Vest": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms_pqumzZGM&feature=related (terrible recording, lol).
Also auto-tune can go DIAF.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who was thinking it'd be "Be My Guest" instead of "Say My Name". And I really don't like that electronic garbling in her voice there-- is that the auto-tune you're talking about? It took what could have been an otherwise nice voice and made it sound...cheesy and flat. (Not flat as in 'opposed to sharp', but flat as in no depth.) Got annoying, so I didn't finish watching.

Having stuck his neck out — through trial balloons suggesting a possible abandonment of the public option — President Barack Obama is now retreating into Fort Democrat and relying on his own party members to jam through healthcare legislation. With 60 senators and a 76-vote margin in the House, he need not compromise or even listen to Republicans. He can invoke the so-called "nuclear option" and pass his bill in the Senate with just 50 votes and no possibility of real debate, much less a filibuster.
So no matter how low Obama's plan sinks in the polls, he feels that he can rely on his loyal troops to march in lockstep and pass his healthcare proposals.
The firestorm of protest his possible abandonment of the public option set off represented a signal to him from the party's left: We will stay with you through thick and thin, just don't compromise.
Can he pull it off? Probably. Except if the elderly block vote against him in the polls. Already seniors oppose his plan by 32-49 in the latest FoxNews poll. If their margin of disagreement swells . . . and their anger continues to manifest in the town hall meetings and other public gatherings . . . and senators and congressmen are deluged by handwritten letters from seniors opposing the bill, there is a chance to stop it.
Ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt passed Social Security in 1937 and Lyndon B. Johnson pushed through Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, the elderly have block voted for the Democratic Party. Their support is one of the core elements on which the party continues to rely for its political backing. If the Democrats can be convinced that there is a real chance that healthcare reform, financed by Medicare cuts, will reverse the elderly's staunch Democratic devotion, they may not cast the fateful votes.
After all, just as education is primarily a concern for parents usually in their 20s and 30s, healthcare is mainly an issue for the elderly (particularly since all children can get insurance through the SCHIP program Bill Clinton passed). If the elderly manifest their outrage and concern, the Democrats cannot ignore the firestorm of criticism from their traditional base.
No less a figure than Leon Trotsky once said "revolution is impossible until it becomes inevitable." That's our current situation. Stopping healthcare from passing with the top heavy Democratic majorities in both houses is clearly impossible . . . until it becomes inevitable. That is until the seniors weigh in with massive opposition and red hot intensity.
This imposes a burden on each of us:
This is a fight we can win. But we must fight harder!

A great dawn alternative
What we say:
Sometimes we forget about the little things, and too often we've no idea of the loss we've incurred by doing so. Case in point: a recent visit to Bakong temple to attend a ceremony marking completion of a project to restore paintings on the inner and outer walls of a small pagoda within its grounds.
It would be easy for visitors to this especially beautiful temple to overlook the diminutive looking pagoda beside it. The pagoda is a working one, in constant use by villagers from nearby, attended by the monks who live and work here. Completed in the 1930s to 40s, the series of paintings here recount the Buddha's life as is customary in Cambodian pagodas. A year ago however, the pagoda was in a terrible state: dank, dark, dusty, full of water, and it was almost impossible to decipher the artist's work.
The restoration project took just over a year to complete, bringing together a team of French, Thai and Cambodian restorers, even as the Thai and Khmer governments were lobbing invective and missiles across the border at Preah Vihear. That did not bother the artists though. "This is a problem of governments, not of people," said one of the Thai members of the team in a real example of how art bridges divides.
But that's not all that makes this project unique. Restaurateurs sans Frontières (Restorers Without Borders) is the organisation behind the restoration work. A French NGO based in Bangkok, this is their first project in Cambodia, and enormous care was taken to respect traditional culture.
This was difficult even before the start. According to Buddhist beliefs, when things die they should be reborn again, a principle that flies in the face of ideas about conservation or restoration. The compromise here was to restore the work, but to also make the pagoda look like new again.
The series of panels have been restored in traditional Khmer style, with soft, luminous colours, rather than the very garish colour one may find in other pagodas. This pagoda is now one of only 30 in the country that has been restored to Khmer style. To step into the soft gloom of the pagoda is to have your breath taken away.
An odd feature to keep an eye out for is behind the statue of the Buddha. If you look up, you'll see a simple painting of World War II planes, in fact Japanese and French ones. According to the project team, the painter was taught by a Frenchman, who is depicted in a number of the pictures (for instance below the fighter planes, kneeling before the Buddha to receive his wisdom).
This Frenchman no doubt fought in the war and came back with stories to his protégé, who reproduced some of the imagery in his interpretation of Buddha's life. Integrating everyday life into images of Buddha is an integral part of Buddhist art. The trick for you now is to find in which "mise en scene" the painter included another plane.
To find the pagoda, you need to visit Bakong temple, which is park of the Angkor Park — you'll need your pass to gain entry. The temple, which is under-visited due to its distance (14km) from Siem Reap, is truly worth the trip. Spotting the pagoda, which is on the east side, should be quite easy. There are actually three buildings on the pagoda site. For comparative purposes, take a look at the building that is open-sided and looks out on to the Baray. This was restored previously, and in the Indian style, with lots of bright, garish colours.

Chapter seventeenie!!
"Seb your sucha liar!" I laughed as I hit him on the back of his head. He told me the homework was chapter two through fourteen and I actually did it. We just needed to read up to chapter seven. Thats what I get from being in a coma and missing school work for two weeks. "Oops sorry" he giggled. "No your not" I chuckled. The teacher continued her boring history lesson. I yawned, just like old times. Nothing much has changed during that two and a half week. Life has been the same. The bell rang. "Hey Sebby you coming over after school?" I asked. "You know it"
Lately Sebby always comes over. We have that history project we had to work on together and ended up watching wacky movies with each other. We are a little insane but I like it that way. And by the way, my boyfriend is insaner and thats why I love him so so much. "Damn it I can't find my cellphone" Leah complained as she flipped through her bag. "Find it bitch!" I shouted. Leah flicked me off and continue to look for it. Me and Seb bursted out laughing. "Shit it's not there!!" she yelled. "Let me help you" I took her bag away from her and looked inside. I unzipped the little pocket inside and there was a little pink covered sidekick.
I smirked and took it out. "Oh my god, Phoebe you are to best!" she thanked me. "I know" I bragged. "Ms Bouvier!" I turned around to see the principal. "Yeah?" I asked. "Come to my office after school" he said. I nodded before he walked away. "Bye Sebby!!" I hugged him goodbye before I headed off to my next class, sitting down next to Avril in the back. The net few classes come and gone and it was lunch time. I've been back at school for three days and nothing has changed as I expected. Most people thinks I had a flu so I was absent for two weeks.
I wouldn't tell them that I got upset over my boyfriend and tried to commit suicide. I'd give them a story to tell. Even Leah my good friend doesn't know. "Hey babe" I feel an arm around me as I was in my locker. "Hey" I turned to face him and kissed his lips. "Hows the day treating ya?" he asked. "Pretty good, Sebby lied to me and made me read seven extra chapters of boring history though" I pouted. "Haha" he laughed. "Not fair" I muttered. Seb walked over to us. "Lets go eat!" he yelled. We went inside the lunch room to eat. Then we ate lunch and finished the rest of the day.
Me and Seb got into his car and he drove to my house. I told David we still got a project to do. We did and we needed to get it done. We for into my room and I took out the board. We searched on the net and found pictures with acurste information of the Ancient Romans. I printed the infos out of my color printer and we began cutting the things out. "Pass me the glue stick Sebby" I said with a scissor in my mouth while I tried to hold all the paper in place one the cardboard. He chuckled and handed me the gluestick. He helped me paste the papers onto their spot and we cut out more pictures.
"Phoebe!" Pierre called from downstairs. "What??" I asked. "Come here" he said. "Ugh I'm too lazy to get up" I yelled. "Too bad" he shouted. "Fine!" I muttered. I got up from my sitting position and walking carefully through the paper. I tripped over a roll of tape and fell on Seb. "Damn it, sorry" I muttered. He helped me up. "Its fine" he shrugged. I smiled and walked downstairs to Pierre. "Hey Pierre what do you want?" I asked. "I got you something" he said, almost squealing, which seems pretty odd. "What?" he pulled me into the living room and reached for a white plastic bag on the couch.
"Here" he gave me the bag. I opened it and I saw a brand new iPod touch. That new device from apple. It was one if their new creations. "Damn Pierre, thanks so much you are the best brother ever" I hugged him. "Your welcome" he cleared his throat. "Uh... what?" I asked. "Too tight" he said. "Oops sorry bro" I let go of him. "How are the Bouviers doing tonight?" David asked coming into the room. "Phoebe Bouvier just got a new iTouch from her brother!" I shouted excitedly.
"Wow, I want one! Not fair!" he shouted childishly. "Now look whos talking?" I smirked. Seb came downstairs since I've been down for a pretty long time now. "Hey Sebastien, I got a iPod touch!!!" I yelled running towards him with my new device. "Wow I want one since I saw the commercial" he said. "Oh well haha I beat you to it" I rubbed it in his face. "Wait doesn't it come it tomarrow?" David asked all of a sudden. "Yeah" Pierre nodded. "Then how'd you get it?" Seb asked. "Uh this girl I met well she knows some people from the apple company" he shrugged.
"A girl? Tell me about it!" I slid next to him, elbowing him. He blushed as me and the other guys tried to get information out if him. It took a while until he gave in. "Her name is Lachelle okay??" he practically yelled. "Where'd you meet her?" Seb asked. "FYE" he shrugged. "Is she tall?" David asked. Pierre shrugged. "Does she have big boobs?" I asked. "What the fuck! Why are you guys interrogating me?" he yelled. We all laughed like five seconds later. "Wow now everyone found someone, Chuck and Leah were heating up" David said. "And Jeff and that new girl from French class" I added.
"Avril and the guy we met at the skatepark!" Seb continued. "But I realized..." David went deep into thoughts. "Seb, you haven't found yours" I said to him, looking deep into his blue eyes, trying to get something out of it. "I..." everyone stared at him. He looked at me and smiled sheepishly. I showed a crooked grin. "I found someone alright. I just couldn't get her" he looked at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. I could tell that I have some feelings for this guy. But am I allowed to? When I'm in such a healthy relationship. Okay maybe not do healthy but a nice relationship.
"Aww poor Sebby, you'll find your girl one day" Pierre teased as he chubbied his cheeks. He frowned and I found myself frowning too. I didn't know what to feel so I decided to grab Pierre's car key from the counter and head out the door. "Be right back" I went out the door and went for a drive. I didn't know what feeling I had now. Was I really in love with Sebastien? But I loved David to death. My love for David is unmistakable. After I found out I'd hurt myself over him. It means he is good enough for me or too good for me. I drove around the block several times, not knowing what I can do next.
I had to think straight before I went back there. I realized that I was already dark outside. I'm still thinking about Sebastien. How can I deny my love for him. And yet I cannot deny my love for David. I slapped myself to keep me thinking straight. I decided to finally drive home I'd they'd think I got raped somewhere or something. I chuckled at my own stupid thoughts. I drove home and got into the house. "Where have you been?" Pierre asked. "I drove around town, I just was lazy to finish up that project" I said, first excuse popping out of my head. "Wow Desrosiers, your girlfriends lazy" Pierre said to David.
"But gotta love her" he pulled me closer to him and he kissed me on my forehead. "Band practice tomarrow?" Seb asked the guys. They both nodded. "Where?" David asked. "At Chucks?" Seb suggested. "Why?" Pierre asked. "I left my guitar there last time" he said. I sighed. The attention was back to me. "Im going to sleep I'm tired" I complained. "Oh lets go clean up the project and we'll continue tomarrow or the day after if any of us are busy" me and Seb walked to my room to clean our work up. I picked up all the marker from the floor. Seb got up from the floor and hit my elbow with his head by mistake, causing me to drop the markers.
"Sorry" he bent down to retrieve the markers. I smiled at him. Is what I feel for this guy love? Oh shut the fuck up Phoebe you love David remember? I slapped myself before he handed me the markers. "Uh you okay?" he raised his eyebrows. "Trying to keep myself from falling asleep" that was a good excuse too" he laughed before we both went downstairs. "So guys I'm going to hop out of here" he told us. "Bye Sebby" I waved. "Bye dude" the guys said their goodbyes and he left. "Hey it's getting late, shouldn't you go home?" Pierre asked David.
"Your not getting rid of me this easy buddy" David patted on his shoulders. "God David, shouldn't your parents be worried that your here all the time?" Pierre asked. "No not at all" he shook his head. I chuckled. Now I know why I love David. There is just so much to him that I love every piece of. "Come on David your parent would me worried if you get home this late" Pierre continued. "Dude it's only eight" David pointed at the clock. I bursted out laughing as I looked at the digital clock. They looked at me with their eyebrows raised.
"Come on David ill give you ten dollars if you leave" Pierre offered. "Okay, hand it over" my boyfriend held hid hand out. My brother took his wallet out and gave him a ten dollar bill. "Later babe" he kissed me before he headed out the door. "Was that even worth ten dollars?" I asked Pierre the second he left. "Yes it is" he said and upstairs. I followed him up. I went into my room and went to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Sebastien. Why? I love David. David loves me. But everytime Seb is around me I get butterflies in my stomach. Well started from when I got out of the hospital. What is this? A sign of something?
I woke up by the sound of my alarm clocks I hit snooze about five times before I actually woke up. I got ready and went downstairs. "Morning bro" I put my bookbag on the sofa. "Morning sis" he muttered. We ate breakfast in silence as usual. David bursted in to break the silence as usual. He eat with us and bring me to school as usual. We got to the school and went inside. "Hey guys!" we turned around to see Seb running to us. My stomach churned. Well not literally but I guess there goes that freakin butterfly again.
"Hey guys!" Avril jumped on David's back, causing him to jump. We all cracked up. "Avril do you want to go to Dana's Cafe after school?" I asked. I really needed to tell her about the Seb and David situation. "Um sure" she nodded. "The guys have band practice anyways so yeah" I shrugged. The day went by fast as things between me and Sebby haven't changed. Well for me. I got into my locker and Avril met me there. "Avril lets go" I told her as we went into Pierre's car. I put his car key in the ignition and drove off.
We got to the cafe and went inside. We ordered our food as we talked about random things. "I need to ask for advice and it's very important" I said. "Phoebe tell me anything" she said. "Okay but you cannot tell anyone" I warned. "Promise bitch" she said. "Good. Okay well this started when I got out of the hospital" I started. "Well it's about Sebastien. I feel like I have feelings for him somehow. It's like everytime I'm around him, I get nervous this tingly feeling that won't go away. Then there's David. He's just being David the usual David that I love
And I didn't know if I really love Seb or if I really love Dave. I just don't know what do I do best friend?" I asked. "Hmm... So let me get this straight. So you like Seb but your going out with David. You have feelings for Sebby and don't know if you have feelings for him or Davey? So you love Sebastien" she stated. I shrugged and then I hear loud footsteps coming towards us. I looked and saw David walking furiously toward us, more like me. Had he heard it all? Of course he did, he wouldn't look so angry if he didn't.
Avril looked at me alarmed. "Dave" I got up. "You don't love me" was all he said then he walked away. I followed him. "No David I do" I yelled, desperate for him to believe me. "You love Sebastien" he said. "How much did you hear?" I asked. "The part you have feelings for Seb and going out with me" he said. He didn't hear the whole thing. He didn't get the whole story right.
"I thought you loved me" he said, looking hurt. "I do David I still do I love you" I hugged him to which he pulled away. "Your just using me to get to Sebby. I'm glad I came over to hear from your friend Avril that my girlfriend loves another man. Bye Phoebe" with that he left.

As the Switch Back Draw Fire burns through Custer State Park, youth at the State Treatment and Rehabilitation Academy near Custer are being relocated.
A total of 39 females in the East Campus of the Start Academy are voluntarily relocating as a precaution of the nearby Switch Back Draw Fire.
According to the South Dakota Department of Corrections, the fire was not immediately threatening the east campus, but the decision to move is partly due to potentially changing weather conditions.
The females are staying at the west campus until DOC staff members can determine when it is safe to return.
STAR Academy staff members are notifying the families of the youth that were moved.

Food Science: The Low-Down on High-Fructose Corn Syrup
Corn syrup, and especially high-fructose corn syrup, is our nation's dietary villain du jour - and not without some good reasons. In all the debates surrounding this ingredient, it's usually assumed that we already know what corn syrup is and where it comes from. Here's an explanation for those of us who've never been quite certain:
Corn syrup is made by heating corn starch along with an acid or malt enzyme. During this process, the long chains of glucose molecules in the starch are broken apart into individual glucose molecules, which our tongues taste and perceive as sweet. This process was actually developed in the early 1800's using potato starch and wasn't applied to corn starch until later in the century.
High-fructose corn syrup was developed in the 1960's, almost a century later. This syrup undergoes an additional enzymatic process that converts some of those glucose molecules into fructose. This is the sweetest of all the sugar molecules and makes corn syrup equally as sweet as table sugar.
The key thing to understand is that not all corn syrup is high-fructose, and it's the high-fructose version that is the primary subject of debate. It's possible to find regular corn syrup to use in your own cooking and candy-making, though it might take some searching. Karo, the most popular supermarket brand of corn syrup, is unfortunately high-fructose.
Does anyone know a good brand of regular corn syrup available on the market?

I still don't understand why people have an issue with corn syrup, high fructose or otherwise.
Thanks for pointing that out about Karo. I've noticed a distinct lack of hypoglemic moments since I've switched off HFCS (thank heavens for Mexican Coke) and since Pecan Pie season is upon us I was about to start using that stuff.
I'll search and if I can find one, I'll let you know!
Some time ago (last Christmas, I think), I picked up a bottle of Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Corn Syrup ( http://www.wholesomesweeteners.com/brands/Wholesome_Sweeteners/Organic_Corn_Syrup.html ) at my local Whole Foods. Unfortunately I haven't seen it there since, but my Whole Foods is rather small and the stock changes every week depending on what's popular and what they think is worth keeping in stock. I've been keeping an eye out for it, though (apparently it's available at Shopper's and Target)...
Aimi - I am just finishing "In Defense of Food" which has a great section (large, I won't summarize, but will recommend reading) laying out the problems with highly processed food products like HFCS. I didn't exactly understand it either before I read this book, and found it definitely helped. Obviously, it's still a debate, so you'll still hear both sides argued persuasively, but I don't necessarily trust the propaghanda advertising of sweetsurprise.com (the obvious self-serving incentives of food developers/processors in shaping our opinions on the "health" of their products is also discussed in the book)
Aimi, one of the reasons that I actually retained from reading about it is that high fructose corn syrup inhibits production of leptin, a hormone produced by our fat cells that tells us we're full and to stop eating.
What I took away from Pollan's book was that it isn't so much corn syrup itself that's the problem, it's the fact that it's in freakin' everything.
It would be one thing if the only time we ever ingested corn syrup was when we made something with the Karo syrup in the cupboard (pralines, pecan pie, etc.). But there has been an incredible push over time to get corn syrup used as a big ingredient in juices, sodas, sauces, soups, canned goods, breads, etc. So you're not just having corn syrup in your pralines, you're having it in your cocktails (it's in the cranberry juice in your Seabreeze), your welsh rarebit (it's in the Worcestershire sauce), your Kung Pao Chicken (it's in the duck sauce and the soy sauce), your tomato soup....
The reason why it's in everything is because it is cheap as all hell, and the reason why it is cheap as all hell is because there is a glut of corn on the market; and the reason there is a glut of corn on the market is because of government farm lobbies that actually PREVENT farmers from saying "you know what, how about I take just one acre of the cornfield and grow watermelons on it instead?" In moderation it's not evil, but ANYTHING eaten to the excess that we are encouraged to eat high fructose corn syrup isn't great for us.
The documentary King Korn has an excellent section devoted to the production of HFCS. Nasty.
And those new adds are just creepy.
We don't purchase products that contain HFCS because it is synonymous with "highly processed junk you shouldn't eat." And we figure we get enough of it in our diets when we eat out, etc.
um...that should say hypoglycemic episodes. Yay for spelling!
Because it's not a natural sugar, people with blood-sugar issues react radically to HFCS. Example: I used to have an American Coke a day (often not even a full one) - which has HFCS - I noticed by lunch my sugar had crashed and it was unpleasant. I discovered that Costco carries Mexican Coke (sugar cane, yay!) and I still have my (almost) one coke a day but my sugar does not crash anymore. All other things being equal - honestly.
What has followed has been an HFCS purge, which is easier than you'd think.
Whole Foods does sell Karo that does not have HFCS, but you have to look closely at the label because there's nothing to distinguish it from the Karo that does have HFCS.
I agree with what empresscallipygos said. It's not that I expect to never eat HFCS. I just don't feel comfortable with it in EVERYTHING, as it pretty much is these days. I have a really hard time finding sandwich bread that doesn't have it in it. I agree in everything in moderation. So I will indulge in an occasional dessert that has it in it, just not in 2 of the 3 things I eat in one meal alone!
HFCS is bad because the extreme sugar highs and lows we get from them really wear out your pancreas (which relases insulin into your blood to help body absorb and digest food and nutrients)....wear that out and you've got diabetes.
Like the new HFCS commercials point out that it might be ok in moderation, the problem with that is that it's impossible to have in moderation - because so many things list it in their first 5 (rule of thumb: anything bad listed within the first 5 ingredients is a bad thing to consume) so you can't really moderate and keep levels down.
Another thing that's really bad for you is "partially hydrogenated __________ (fill in the blank) oil"
Chemistry adds hydrogen, making the liquid plant oil a solid at room temperature (good for long shelf life) bad for arteries - same affect on arteries as saturated fat/animal fat which is hard at room temp. Also partially hydrogenated oils impare the chemicals in the brain that RECIEVE the "i'm full" messengers your stomach sends out for you to stop eating. Thus we have over eating, thus obesity.
The dark Karo doesn't have HFCS, just the light stuff.
Griffin's brand corn syrup does not contain HFCS. Look for it at Big Lots, of all places.
Interesting conversation, both ways. I'm not sure that any of the negative stuff is enough to put me totally off it, but it's good to know why all this fuss is going on.
In Defense of Foods also talked about how there's always a food villain. HFCS is just posing as the current villain. As far as I'm concerned, HFCS is just a henchman of industrial food, not the mastermind. It's into everything, but it doesn't have any superpowers.
And getting type 2 diabetes isn't as simple as drinking too many cokes. I have type 1, and trust me, my body doesn't know the difference between a coke and a baked potato.
Emmie B, next time you want Pecan pie, substitute maple syrup for corn syrup. Delicious.
It's also interesting to note that the rise in obesity rates coincides with the development and rise in use of HFCS.
Uptown Girl I had the same problem finding bread sans HFCS. Roman Meal has several breads that are sweetened with molasses, honey or brown sugar. I've listed a few you might like to try.
Natural Double Fiber
All Natural Honey & Oat Bran
Roman Meal Honey Wheatberry
Does HFCS look like anything other than HFCS in ingredient lists? Because I'm seeing much less often than I would imagine so I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something...
In addition to the issues of HFCS being in way too many places - i think one issue that doesn't get the attention it should is that the corn producers get a lot of federal subsidies, and that a very large portion of what they're subsidized to grow gets made into HCFS. So - the problem is that HFCS and thus many overly processed foods are cheaper than they should be because we use tax dollars to subsidize them... anyway - just another side of the issue regarding HFCS...
All the reasons stated are the reasons I got away from HFCS. I mean it's like white sugar on steroids, supersweet with no nutritional value and some possibly bad internal reactions. So it's just not worth it. I still give in on occasion for a soda, candy or unhealthy snack.
More and more products are touting "No HFCS" so I like to check the ingredients to see if there is anything else weird.
There are a few common grocery store breads that use honey, molasses, and other natural sweeteners. That may vary between varieties under the same brand though.
I noticed in the grocery store the Mexican Coke now has a label that says may or may not contain high fructose corn syrup! I wonder if this is true, or Coca-Cola just trying to combat brand cannibalism.
really glad I found this post... not so glad that I just checked my favorite healthy whole-wheat bread and found that HFCS is in it! :(
Check out Omnivore's Dilemma or In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, it's not just about HFCS, it's about getting away from highly processed foods. As Mr. Pollan says, don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't eat or something that a 3rd grader could not pronounce the ingredients. Companies are finally starting to get the message and take some of the junk out of our foods.
