Following the popularity of the mini-series "The Bible" last year on the History Channel, "Son of God," adapted from that, has exceeded expected earnings after opening last weekend across the country.
The movie, which chronicles the life of Christ through the New Testament gospels, grossed $26.5 million in the first weekend, exceeding Boxoffice.com's estimation of $17.1 milliion. It was the country's No. 1 movie as of Tuesday.

It was 28 years ago this weekend, and I was in Austin for what would be the final games of a storybook season for the Amarillo High boys basketball team.
The 1986 Sandies won the 5A state championship, still only the second state title won by an Amarillo ISD boys basketball team. No other state title in any sport won by an AISD team was as surprsing as the one on March 8, 1986.
In 2014, the Amarillo High boys are at the state tournament for first time since that year, this time in the Class 4A semifinals at 8:30 tonight against Schertz Clemens.

Some quick Wednesday morning thoughts after Tuesday's primary elections:
U.S. Congress: Mac Thornberry, entrenched in the 13th congressional seat since 1994, will keep it until he decides he doesn't want in any more. The Clarendon Republican had a worthy, organized and smart candidate in Elaine Hays of Amarillo and, for the second time, Dr. Pam Barlow, aveterinarian from Bowie.
Thornberry, as most expected, won comfortably. He tallied 67 percent of the vote (45,097) to Hays' 17 percent (12,438) and Barlow's 11 percent (8,860).

It was the most controversial time in the six years the Beatles were together in the United States. And it was John Lennon, the edgiest Beatle of them all, who lit the verbal match.
It was 48 years ago today -- March 4, 1966 -- when Lennon, in an interview, dismissed Christianity, the disciples, and said the Fab Four was more popular than Jesus.
Lennon was interviewed by journalist Maureen Cleave in London. At the time, there was upheaval, especially among young adults, about God and Christianity and the relevance of both.

He's won titles with overwhelming talent and with overachievers. He's won championships with dominant post play and with exceptional guards. He's won with a load of depth, and with not much more than just a handful.
He's won crowns in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now in this decade -- five decades and 16 state titles.

Next time you sit down to a hamburger at McDonald's and you feel you've been unfairly wronged because there were not enough napkins with the order, do what a California man did.
File a $1.5 million lawsuit.
In the latest example of stupid lawsuits -- and there are more than a few out there -- Webster Lucas is suing McDonald's because he didn't get enough napkins with his meal.
I'm not making this up. How could you make this up?

Sure, Alabama football coach Nick Saban has won four national titles in the last 10 years, but has he ever been a question on "Jeopardy!", the longtime brainy quiz show?

If you're currently at work right now, you may disagree that there are a shortage of clowns, but that's the hard and fast truth.
There's just not as many clowns as they're used to be. Yes, send in the clowns -- a bunch of them.
Believe it or not, there are unions for clowns. No, not made up of clowns, but clowns as a professions. There's a difference. And the president of the Clowns of America International said this week there is a shortage.
It's declining interest, old age, and higher standards that have plunged numbers in the last decade.

This last Monday in February is much less stressful for thousands than the last Monday in February 2013. As I type this around 8:30 a.m., it's clear, temperature around 30 degrees with an expected high near 70 degrees today.
A year ago, there was 19.1 inches of blowing snow that paralyzed the city and created havoc on roads throughout the city. It was the second-most snow to fall on Amarillo in one calendar day.

Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, haemophilus influenza type B vaccines
Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and Hib these diseases can kill or disable large numbers of children. The vaccine for these 5 diseases are very effective and are usually combined in one needle. The vaccines are usually given in a series during infancy and childhood.
If we do not keep our children protected with vaccines, the risk of these diseases will increase again.
Diphtheria is caused by bacteria infecting the nose and throat so children may have trouble breathing or they may have skin or ear infections. The bacteria also produces a poison that can cause paralysis or heart damage.
- Before routine immunization against diphtheria, it was one of the most common causes of death in children under 5 years of age, especially babies.
Pertussis (whooping cough) caused by bacteria infecting the lining of the airways. It is spread through direct contact with mucous or respiratory droplets of an infected person. It causes coughing spells so severe that a child has a hard time breathing or eating. The coughing can last for weeks or months.
Children with serious complications may require a long hospitalization. Complications of whooping cough are more severe in babies. Pneumonia, convulsions, brain injury and death may occur. Adolescents with pertussis can suffer from a severe cough followed by vomiting, for as long as two months. Adolescents and adults often pass the disease to children and babies.
Tetanus (lockjaw) can happen when tetanus bacteria found in the soil get into wounds. The bacteria make a poison, which is absorbed by the bodys muscles and causes severe spasms. Even with modern medicine, about 1020% of people who get tetanus die.
Poliomyelitis (polio) is caused by a virus. One person in 100 infected with the polio virus is paralyzed and the paralysis may be permanent and crippling. Before the development of a vaccine, thousands of cases of paralysis and hundreds of deaths from polio occurred each year in Canada.
Since polio vaccine became available in the mid-1950s, polio disease has been virtually eliminated in North and South America and is under control in several other parts of the world. However, polio still exists in some countries and could return to Canada through the travels of people who have not been immunized.
Until polio is eliminated on a worldwide basis, the risk to Canadians who are not immunized is high.
Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) bacteria causes meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain). Hib can cause other severe infections in young children, including pneumonia, epiglottitis (swelling of the opening to the windpipe), infections in the blood, joints, bones, body tissues, or in the outer covering of the heart.
Before the Hib vaccine was used in Canada, about one in every 300 children would get some form of serious Hib disease before they turned five. Hib also caused at least 1,000 cases of meningitis each year. One in every 20 children under the age of five with Hib infection died and 1 out of every 4 with meningitis had permanent brain injury or deafness.
The number of cases of Hib disease dropped sharply since a vaccine for infants was introduced in 1988. However, Hib disease is still present and children who are unvaccinated are at risk.
Hib vaccine helps protect your child from serious infections from Hib bacteria. Hib vaccine does not protect against ear infections caused by Hib bacteria or meningitis caused by other kinds of bacteria or viruses. Although influenza is part of the Hib name, Hib does not cause the flu and the Hib vaccine does not protect against flu.
Specific vaccine information
- DTaP-IPV-Hib (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Haemophilus influenza type B) 2012
- DTaP-IPV (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio) 2012

Sharon Salzberg has been a student of Buddhism since 1971, and leading meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. Sharon's work is non-sectarian, though based on the ancient Buddhist practices of vipassana (mindfulness or insight) and metta (lovingkindness), the aim of which is to deepen awareness and compassion, giving rise to greater peace and happiness.
In 1971, in Bodh Gaya, India, Sharon attended her first meditation course. She spent the next three-and-a-half years engaged in intensive practice and study with highly respected teachers from India, Burma and Tibet. Sharon returned to America in 1974 and began teaching insight meditation and leading retreats. In 1976, she established, together with Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield, the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts, which is now one of the most renowned and active meditation centers in the Western world. Retreats of varying lengths, offering intensive training in meditative skills and contemplative practices, are presented throughout the year and are attended by people of many diverse religious backgrounds and interests.
Sharon and Robert Thurman's new book, Love Your Enemies: How to Break the Anger Habit & Be a Whole Lot Happier, gives practical strategies for spiritual transformation. The new book was inspired by HH Dalai Lama and is a result of the workshops that Bob and Sharon have been teaching the past 7 years. It provides information on how both anger and hatred are addictive feelings – that they're behaviors that are destructive to happiness. The following is an excerpt from Chapter Two of the new book:
There are too many times in life when we just cannot avoid losing our temper. Someone attacks or provokes us, we feel that excitement is the only way to avoid being crippled by fear in a tough situation, we just can't stand something that is happening to us or to others and we blow our top. Sometimes our heated action seems to help; we get the immediate result we want. But even then, usually we feel bad afterward, we realize that our over-reaction will cause more problems down the line, we become exhausted, we lose a potential friend, and we have populated our universe with an even more dangerous potential enemy. As we mature, and gain more experience with the negative results and side effects of the anger habit, we shift our priorities, and we resolve to improve our mastery of our emotional reactions. We tire of being whipped about by uncontrollable inner impulses, and we decide we really have to be the master of our forceful energies, and not be mastered by them. We then are ready to face our inner enemies.
There are all too many of them, a host of powerful forces within our minds, obsessive desire, burning anger, haunting jealousy, stressful competitiveness, foolish pride, stubborn delusion and self-righteous conviction. They are addictive energies, in that they take hold of us from within by seeming to enhance our energy and expand our being, only to let us down all too soon and leave us in an even more vulnerable situation. The Buddhist word for them (Sanskrit klesha, Pali, kilesa) comes from the verb root klish-, which means "twist," "torment." They harm us without fail, and so definitely qualify as enemies…

North Face Aconcagua
For a minute, I thought an Aconcagua was some kind of exotic snack cake. I guess it's a mountain in the Andes. Whatever, that's cool. The Aconcagua is also a super warm down jacket from The North Face. The North Face Aconcagua Jacket features high-loft 550 down fill for superior insulation, and rugged ripstop nylon outer shell that's been treated with DWR to make it incredibly water repellant. That all means you stay warm and dry, which is probably a good feature to look for in an insulated jacket.
This super down jacket from North Face is available for the whole family. You won't even have to share. I mean, sharing is nice and all, but sharing jackets might not work out the way everybody hopes. Anyway, check out the Men's North Face Aconcagua, Women's North Face Aconcagua, Boys' North Face Aconcagua, and Girls' North Face Aconcagua. There's even an Aconcagua Jacket for toddlers.
I like to think of vests as jackets without sleeves. You can think of them however you like. They're for sure easier to play chicken on the monkey bars in. Check out North Face Aconcagua Vests, or sleeveless jackets, for men and women.

Rub-a-dub-dub, I have to use the tub
September 24, 2010
For someone who's taken exclusively showers almost all her life: What are your bath hacks?
I've just moved in to a house with no shower, only a bathtub. Until now, I've been a shower kind of girl - jump in, jump out, all clean. Baths to me are an entirely different animal - relaxing but time-consuming. I can enjoy a soak in the tub from time to time, but when my mornings are hectic they just don't seem practical.
Given my current situation, I'd like to make my baths as nice as possible - either by making them quicker and easier,
by making them more relaxing and luxurious.
Bathtub fans - what are your top tub tips?

I like to have a couple of shots of liquor before entering the tub. I bring one of the newspaper-format book review weeklies to read in the tub. I start out at a warm temperature, but then, every 5-10 minutes, I let some water drain out and replace it with pure hot water, getting the temperature hotter and hotter. After about 45 minutes, I yell to my significant other and ask her to do me a favor and bring me a big glass of cold lemonade, which I drink down quickly in the tub before handing the glass back to her. I then stay in until I fell almost entirely dead. When I get out, I lie down and take a nap.

Take a nice, relaxing full bath at night before bed or after coming home from work, and then in the hectic mornings, just wash your hair and face.
Experiment with fun bath additions in the evening when you're up for it -- milk, essential oils, bubbles, salts, etc.

Wow, weird!
I love baths, but I have no idea how I would use them as my exclusive form of getting clean. Would you consider installing at least a
new tub spout
with a diverter for a handheld shower head?
Our shower is actually a cast iron clawfoot tub with a permanent diverter situation for a fixed shower head and a cage around the top from which two shower curtains hang down.

It might be too late, but the deal-breaker question when moving into a new place is:
can you operate the bathtub faucets with your feet?

My standing quick tub method: get a bucket. Fill with hot water and set aside. Soak a big shower sponge under faucet, and soap it up. Scrub all over. Rinse sponge under faucet and set aside. Pick up bucket and dump it over yourself (top to bottom). Refill bucket with hot water. Suds up hair with shampoo. Dump bucket again to rinse.
Note: make sure you've got a shower curtain with this method, or the kind of bathroom furniture that can deal with getting really wet.

Ugh, I am NOT a fan of the bath. I even got my five year-old taking showers (he likes to dance around and spray himself with the handheld nozzle thingie).
In any event: I suggest fighting the power with a converter kit like

I did this for awhile. You'll want to take two distinct types of baths--one for washing your hair and one for luxury.
For washing your hair, don't put anything in the bath water. I put my whole head under for rinsing shampoo out of my hair---then drain and replace some if the water both to get new heat, and to have cleaner water for my conditioner rinse. I wash my body last.
For luxury -- go ahead and add anything you want! I have a theory that epsoms salts keep the water hotter longer ---please, no one blow this theory for me!

I had a tub-only apartment once and did as Quisch suggests--long baths in the evenings and then used a handheld diverter in order to be able to quickly wash hair or clean up (after working out, etc.).
It didn't take long to get really used to it, and I liked that I was directed by routine to take some time to relax (without TV, internets).
My favorite thing to do (and still is) is to open the bathroom window all the way--if it's cool out, I run hot water, and if it's hot out I run cool. Then I can feel the breeze and hear the noises, and in my current bathroom, see the treetops. This is especially nice at night, turn the lights out in the bathroom and look out while you soak.
Other than that, baths are nice for books, for letting some fancy product sit and do its work on your hair or face, for adult beverage, and for having a conversation with someone else (if your tub is big, with you in the tub, if not, I love to talk to my SO while I soak and he sits in the bathroom).
Also, the best thing about a free-standing tub is that you can lay WAY down and hook your legs over the side for awhile. Don't forget that you can lay on your belly in a tub, as well.
You'll want a bath pillow and to use non-gritty tub cleaner--you may want a way to keep your hair up and dry. When your objective is to get clean, it's better to start with plain water (IMO).

I lived in a house with just a bath for a long time. There's really a difference between the "bath to get clean" and the "bath to luxuriate" but both are useful things to have.
1. Bath to get clean - make sure you have some sortof a way of pouring water over your head, whether it's a pan for water or a spray hose attachment. Fill the tub with hot water, get in, scrub off. Use salt scrubs and a loofakh on a stick or whatever. Save hair washing and leg shaving for last [or shave legs some completely other time]. Start the tub draining as you rinse off soap or conditioner so you're not lying in a tubfull of whiskers and hair and soap. Give the tub a good rinse after you get out of it to keep soap scum from adhering to the tub forever. In the winter [if you have winter] you may want to pre-heat the tub if it's a chilly metal one by tossing in some hot water before you start to fill it. My hot water tank doesn't quite fill my tub so I have to heat up water in the stove if I want a big full bath. If I have to get clean for work, I usually bathe the night before, it's tough to feel that you need to be zipzip while you're watching a tub fill up.
2. Bath to relax - I like to read in the tub sometimes. It's good to have a little shelf of some sort that you can put across the tub (
like this
, or wood ones are nice) to lean a book or a cup of ice water on [nothing glass, just in case]. I like to fill up the tub and add something that smells nice. Maybe light some candles over by the sink and play some relaxing music. If I've been exercising, epsom salts are good for the muscles. If I've been dry-skin itchy, oatmeal sachets can be good. You can experiment with scents you like and read up on other bathing suggestions.

If you'll need to take baths in the morning, start the water and then brush your teeth, go start coffee, make your morning bagel, whatever. The key is to spend the time waiting for the tub to fill up doing other things you have to do.
I think much of baths being 'long and relaxing" are psychological. It's nice, but if you really need to, you can take a bath in 10-15 minutes too. My biggest mental block is feeling like I'm just waiting for the tub to fill up.

For what it's worth in my part of the world, tub-only is not an uncommon configuration. I know absolutely nobody under 60 who attempts to do this without a converter. The broad scenario for a non-soaking task-oriented morning wash is more or less that you get up, start filling the tub, go make a cup of tea or iron a shirt or some other part of your morning routine, hop in the tub, soap, splash, begin to drain and rinse with nozzle. If you are washing your hair there's a learning curve but I have long, long hair and pretty quickly mastered it.

I love baths. During the times I have a bath for both relaxation and cleanliness, I'll hang out in the warm tub with the stereo on and armed with my kindle in a large ziplock. When I'm done relaxing, i'll pull the plug. As the water drains, I'll run the tap again (while still sitting in the half-filled tub) I just sort of splash the running water at myself to get rid of any stuck bathtub water floaties (usually hair.) Finally, once the tub's empty and I'm out of it, I'll turn the water back on and stick my head under the faucet to wash my hair. It's not the most efficient process, but it works.
However, most of the time I will admit to just getting up when I'm done relaxing in the tub and turning on the shower. Not always however, and thats when the above tactics come in.

I look at this situation differently. $20-30 worth of stuff from the hardware store, and you can hack up your own shower - easily.
Some kind of wall anchor or picture-hanging stuff to keep a nozzle on the wall and pointed the right way (depends on what kind of wall you have, and what you're allowed to do to it), the nozzle (If you want to spend a little extra, get a massaging shower head - nicer, and easier to mount!), a length of hose, and a washing-machine hookup kit (which should come with some flexible flange-y things and some hose clamp bands.
I could probably do one up in an hour. There's a little more to it if you want to easily switch from shower to bath to shower again. But, I'd end up rarely using the bath faucet if I were in your shoes.

I don't agree with this getting clean/luxuriating dichotomy. After one day, how dirty can you get? Just have a bath every night, if you stay in there long enough you'll get clean by osmosis or whatever. As for hacks:
- get a lot of bath books. By which I mean disposible chick-lit, crime thrillers, bonkbusters. Eg: Jackie Collins, Spenser novels, Elmore Leonard etc.
- get one of those plastic trays that go in the bath to put your glass of chardonney/aforementioned book/sandwich etc
- buy really really nice, really really moisturising bath oils and cremes. Don't get bath bombs, they smell awful and dry out the skin.
- wash your hair and body first, then add bath stuff, if you want to stay fairly gunk-free.
- get a really really nice fluffy bathrobe, your wrinkled fingers will appreciate the softness.
- wee in the bath just before you get out. Yeah, it's a bit disgusting but it feels really good.

I'd like to make my baths as nice as possible
I take showers for basic self cleaning, including shampooing and conditioning hair and shaving.
But baths . . . oh I love my baths . . . are for reading, relaxing, getting and staying warm, dissolving muscle kinks, sipping wine, and smelling lovely smells.
So, I recommend:
1. A deep tub,
or this gadget
to make a normal bathtub hold more water
2. A bath pillow,
like this one
3. A bath tray,
like this one
Bath bombs
bubble bars
like these made by Lush.
I wish you many fabulous baths.

I prefer baths for daily cleaning. Instead of having to wait for the shower to slowly drip out enough water to get my hair wet, I can fill the tub while I'm doing something else, then when I get in I'm pretty much instantly wet. I also feel like there's a bit of a rain-shadow with a shower that is eliminated in the tub. If you shave your legs, it's much easier in the tub. You don't have to fill the tub up all the way, you just need it deep enough so when you dip your head back, you can wet your hair. As long as you don't luxuriate, it will be faster than a shower.
Bathtub rings are less likely if you use body wash rather than bar soap.

My keeping-the-bath-clean tip: Back when I was a kid who only took baths, my family always kept Comet, a green scrubby pad, and a really big (32 oz.?) cup - some souvenir plastic cup from a fast food place, probably - right by the tub. Before bathing, wet the tub down by pouring water from the cub, sprinkle Comet on (or something gentler like Bon Ami), let it sit for a minute, give it a quick scrub, and rinse it down again with the cup. I did this every bath but I personally only bathed every couple of days. If you're bathing every day, I might wash the tub down every two or three days. If you do it often it's really quick and easy, and your tub is always clean and inviting. I like having the cleaning supplies right next to the tub, in view. That always made it feel like a natural, easy part of the bath, instead of a big undertaking where I had to go hunting for supplies.

My husband is a shower-only guy. I'm a bath-only girl. Current place has only a bath. We have one of those handheld shower things, he uses it in his hand to shower, and I use it to fill the lovely bubble baths I relax in with a book or my DS.

I'm open to eliminating the dichotomy--but I didn't say it's a daily ritual.
The main point is, if you're washing your hair, don't put oils in the bath water first.

Quick and easy bath in the morning:
Only fill the bathtub for one third or fourth. This will make you wash yourself in a few minutes, as you get cold very quickly this way, but you will still have that squeaky clean shower feeling.
The real bath experience as it was meant to be:
1. Undress and fill bath tub with hot water. Meanwhile:
2. Put a chair next to the bathtub for easy access to your bath experience necessities.
3. Pile some good books, interesting magazines and comics on the chair. This gives you some reading choices.
4. Add a beverage of your own choice. This could be a cocktail, a glass of wine, anything you like. My personal favourite is an iced coffee. Use a straw, if applicable, for maximum drinking ease.
5. Provide a small snack: grapes are good and 'clean' as a snack. Cookies are delicious (especially with an iced coffee), but mind the crumbs!
Chocolate mousse would be nice too btw.
6. Don't forget to put a washcloth on the chair, see step 13.
7. Make sure you have easy access to a towel, to dry off your hands while reading in the tub. Conveniently position clean towels for drying off, slippers, pajamas and a bathrobe.
8. Add favourite bath product. If you like lots of foam, add bath product in step 1. I find the popping of the small foam bubbles distracting while reading, so I only add the bath product a few minutes before the tub is filled, to create the optimal amount of foam.
9. Optional: add toys, if desired.
10. Feeling slightly cold from being undressed since step 1, carefully position yourself in the searing hot water.
11. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax underwater. Repeat as desired.
12. Choose your reading material and read.
13. The hot water is starting to get too hot at this point. Take the washcloth from step 6, wet with cold water and refresh your face. If desired, leave washcloth on forehead or in neck.
14. Take a sip of your glass.
15. Take a nibble of your snack.
16. Add some cold water, but don't mix it in. One side of your bath will now be a bit cooler than the other side, swoosh from left to right and right to left to enjoy this effect.
17. Read.
18. The water is starting feel cold. Add hot water and read on.
19. Take a sip of your glass.
20. Take a nibble of your snack.
21. Repeat steps 18 through 20 as many times as desired.
22. Clean yourself.
23. Dry off and slip into your pajamas, bathrobe and slippers.
24. Refill your glass and sit outside for a few minutes to cool off.

I take a long, relaxing bath
morning. Around 45 minutes is my average. I feel so much more awake and happy when I'm finished with my bath. If for some reason I can't take a bath and have to take a shower instead, it feels like my day never properly starts.
This means going to bed around ~30 minutes earlier, but whatever. I think it's worth it for the time to chill out, do some reading, steam-clean my sinuses...

I don't like the effect soap as on my hair, so my process differs from Jessamyn's. I wash my hair 1st, and use conditioner, rinsing by dunking, with a final rinse with fresh water from the tap. Then I settle in and relax. I soap up last. The tub cools rapidly in winter, so I keep a trickle of hot water running in, and occasionally let out some water.
If I take a bath for relaxation, it involves wine, cookies, a book, maybe some candles. The little dog like to observe the oddness of voluntarily spending time in the water.
It's not very hard to add a kit that makes a tub into a shower.

I know that people love long, hot baths. I do. But I think it bears pointing out that sitting in hot water for a long time is actually pretty terrible for your skin, regardless of what additives you put in the bath. So, if you are one to enjoy a luxurious long soak from time to time, just make sure you follow up with a super rich and lovely lotion. And really, how does that detract from the spa-at-home experience?

I prefer showers but lived with only a tub for a couple of years. I needed to be quick in the mornings and would save real baths for evening time. To get ready in the morning I would kneel on the floor, lean over the side of the tub and stick my head under the faucet
without the plug in the drain
to wash my hair. Then, to wash my body I would kneel in the tub and basically treat the faucet like a shower and splash water onto my body to lather and use my hand to divert the water to rinse (with my body as close to the faucet as possible). Sometimes I would wash my hair while kneeling in the tub this way (basically bowing under the faucet). The key would be to not to put the plug in the drain, so then you are not filling the tub with your dirty water.This method depends on the particularities of the tub and faucet orientation, but if it works out it's as fast as using a real shower.

Seconding lioness. I lived in a house with only a bath as a kid and teenager, and you basically just put a couple of inches of water in the bottom for the daily bath. Use a washcloth. Sit in the tub, and dip the washcloth in the water, run it over yourself, etc. If you are washing your hair, you need more water, of course, but I tended to wash my hair over the sink, and not every day.
Deep luxurious baths are for (winter) evenings. If you make the bath deep every day it will take forever, and your hot water bill will go through the roof.

Spend a few months living in India where you only have a tap positioned strategically at just below knee level on a wall that is part of the kitchen, use a bucket and a cup, try not to slip and crack your skull open on the concrete. You will get r e a l l y good at efficient bathing, washing with a hand towel and generally being more comfortable with your own body smells. When you're back in your homeland and see your bath again, you'll feel like you're in the Taj Mahal.
Absolutely the BEST PART OF HAVING A BATH is letting the water out. Trust me. When you're finished soaking, pull out the plug, lay back, close your eyes and imagine all the stress and tension draining out of your body and down the drain. Better than meditation/yoga/pilates/sex/chocolate/Jeff Goldblum all rolled into one. Do it. Do it tonight.

Lush's butterball ballistic
(I am not girly and kind of don't like bath products but WHOAMYGOSH) + something on the iPod/home sound system (podcasts or npr work nicely) + making sure you take baths at night, so the next place you'll be is in between the bedsheets. Heaven.

2012 Subaru WRX and WRX STI
Aggressive Styling, Practical Design
Matching the powertrain and chassis capabilities is the exterior styling of the two cars. Both feature wide wheel arches, wide tracks, hood scoops, and rear spoilers. A large wing reappeared on the WRX STI Sedan for the 2011 model year.
Inside, the bold, easily deciphered red-and-white over black instrumentation provides instant dissemination of information. In the WRX, the red color carries through in the trim of the upholstery and steering wheel. The WRX STI upholstery is Black Alcantara®3 and Carbon Black Leather.
At their foundations, both Sedan and 5-Door models have features that make them viable for everyday applications. For example, split folding seatbacks allow a variety of cargo-carrying configurations, and the 5-Door has a maximum 44.4 cubic feet of cargo space. All models have an ample number of cup holders and convenient storage in the glovebox and center console.

Parents can be the worst, a fact just about everyone clues into right around the time they hit puberty, but don't really understand fully until later in life. Sure, they support, love, and even just put up with you, but the older you get, the less you see your parents as caretakers put on this earth solely for your benefit, and the more they start to look like a funhouse mirror reflection of yourself, warts and all. While still basking in the afterglow of their engagement, Leslie and Ben have to face that they've taken a big step towards becoming parents themselves, despite both coming from non-traditional families. Leslie's father has been dead for who knows how long, and Ben's parents… well, they wouldn't necessarily mind the demise of one another. A party brings the Knopes and Wyatts together under one roof, but as the title of this week's episode of Parks and Recreation suggests, "Ben's Parents" are the ones responsible for delivering a graduate thesis on familial tension.
Despite how humbling running your hometown's economy into the ground must be for a sixteen year-old, Ben's timid nature was always going to trace back to his childhood. The seeds for the reveal were planted more than a season ago, with Ben proudly explaining he learned his passive-aggressive problem-solving from his parents. "And they've been… divorced for thirty years." It's the kind of imprint parents make that is the most frustrating: you can see their flaws bright as day, but can't help but to repeat them yourself, because that's what they taught you. It can seem almost impossible to undo the kinds of habits you pick up from people you've spent most of your life with, but the best way to fight them is by letting someone else rub off on you.
Leslie Knope is the person to inspire such change. Among the many things truly special about her is her ability to positively shape people around her for the better. Every member of the Parks department has grown over the show's run because of being around Leslie, whether it's Ron getting involved in the personal lives of his co-workers, or April wearing a dress unironically. She's such a positive, unstoppable force of nature, even her own mother, who was first introduced as doubtful of her daughter's capabilities, has softened under her influence. Leslie exists to fix things, be they problems or people, and who's spent more time with her lately than Ben? The Knope gene for backbone infected him enough to make Ben propose, so how bad could the meeting of mama and papa Wyatt really be?
As it turns out, a complete disaster, seeing as Ben's mother (Glenne Headly) is a soft-spoken and snippy shrew, and Ben's dad is Mike "The Cleaner" Ehrmantraut. Okay that's not actually the name of the character Jonathan Banks plays (I think it's Steve), but for millions of Breaking Bad fans, he'll always be that same, grim hitman from Albuquerque, and rather than try to change that image, Parks embraces it. There aren't quite so many direct homages to his previous role the way clever nods hinted at Bradley Whitford's West Wing career last season, but with that same deadpan delivery and gravely voice, a line like, "we're a Twizzler family," makes the character unmistakably like Mike.
Luckily for Ben, Leslie isn't the type to deal in half measures, so her plan to keep the engagement party running smoothly is to divide and conquer, keeping Mrs. Wyatt busy with Marlene Knope (Pamela Reed), while distracting Ben's dad with white, Minnesotan-worthy chatter. Failing that, Leslie's industrious arts and crafts expertise will save the day, in the form of a unifying family quilt, with squares representing every important family member (and HBO series) in the Wyatt-Knope alliance. For a moment, it looks like everything is going to be alright, until the two heads of the Wyatt family finally collide, along with an uninvited guest, in the form of Steve's new wife, Ulani.
The maelstrom of sniping and insults is about as horribly awkward as you'd imagine, and "Ben's Parents" plays the conflict pretty straight. You know almost as soon as you see Leslie's beautiful quilt that it won't survive the night intact, and sure enough, its destruction causes Leslie to uncharacteristically admit defeat, with the announcement that Steve has gotten Ulani pregnant being the last push she needs to accept Ben's escape plan: get into a cab, and head for Australia. But in another seemingly uncharacteristic turn, it's Ben who refuses to run away from the problem, forcing his parents to sit down like something closely approximating adults, and admit that their own years of bitter contempt won't poison the new loving ones he and Leslie plan to share.
Ben's parents don't leave him with much wisdom as to a happy marriage during his big day, but doing everything he can to not follow in their footsteps is the boldest, best move he can make, and he gets the courage to do so because of Leslie. In the same vein, Ben's meekness has caused Leslie to develop into less of a bulldozer when it comes to making sure everything is perfect, and accepting imperfection is vital to any relationship. Through this symbiosis, and the lessons she's learned from the happy, yet too short marriage of her parents, they've got a real shot at not going down the path of the elder Wyatts, because, as Marlene Knope puts so elegantly, they're both on the same team.

And while Mrs. Knope's belief that screwing is a good way to reconcile differences may not be such useful advice for Tom and Jean Ralphio, what accounts to the closest thing to a fight between the two gets resolved by someone else having a big influence on Tom, Ron. Despite Tom's impish swagger and frequently terrible business ideas, no one has supported his entrepreneurial spirit more than Ron, a guy who can appreciate wanting to make a success out of yourself through sheer hard work. But as fun as it is to have Jean Ralphio back, and to see Tom once more pitching his ideas like the P. T. Barnum of the MTV era, the fact that they're back in business together isn't encouraging, considering the spectacular failure that was Entertainment 720.
After Tom's dreams crashed and burned around him early on in season four, the show couldn't find much to do Aziz Ansari other than to stick him with Ann. Part of what made that relationship frustrating was that it seemed he had learned nothing; yes Ansari is at his funniest when acting like a total player, but it became hard to invest in Tom as a character when it seemed like he was the only one refusing to develop. That's why the sight of him sitting at his computer, struggling to come up with the right pitch for Ron, was such a subtly sweet moment, because the Tom of last year would have gone off to the clubs with Jean Ralphio as soon as the million-dollar idea didn't come together on its own.
Ron has plenty of reasons to despise (and toothpick stab) Jean Ralphio, the biggest being how enabling of Tom's more immature instincts he can be. The only time Jean Ralphio seems capable of tact is when he's being shot down, which is often. Tom does his best to get a solid night's work out of his poofy-haired partner, but he ends up having to strike out on his own when it's clear he's the only one pulling his weight. It's a very Swanson thing to do, something Ron recognizes, and rewards, by giving Tom the investment money needed for his Rent a Swag business. Despite having no children of his own, Ron has given Tom fatherly advice again and again, and now that he's really listening to it, Tom's got more resources at his disposable than all the NBA players and IPads Entertainment 720 could muster.
The other major character to go through a lot of change this week does so in frequency, as Chris' therapy leaves his mood swinging like Mike's granddaughter (last Breaking Bad call-out, I swear). While a funny diversion, Chris hasn't found the right person to make his evolution seem organic instead of incidental, and that seems to be the point. Could Ann be the one be the one to save him? They've already tried being a couple, but Ann's been building character since they split up, so maybe she's ready to affect the sort of change in him he caused for her during their first relationship.
Dining on the details of these personal arcs might be emphasizing the long game too much, but at this point, that's what I come to Parks and Recreation for. "Ben's Parents" had plenty of great bits in it, as well as a few duds, but after so much time spent with these characters, the investment is in watching them grow and gain depth, not just waiting for them to make me laugh every week. It's what makes Parks and Recreation the most joyous show on television, in addition to usually being the funniest.
- Stray Thoughts
-A stare down over the last bacon-wrapped shrimp between Mike and Ron is every bit as intense as you would hope.
-I side with the Knopes on the Red Vines vs. Twizzlers debate.
-Here's hoping we get a flashback episode detailing the great Donna/Jerry Parking Spot Feud of 2006.
-Andy's Macaulay Culkin-esque reading of, "again?!", proves just how much Chris Pratt can do with his body and one just one word.
-Andy and April's competing lists of good and bad things in the world is the perfect distillation of why they're such a great couple.
-Breaking Bad Cross-over Theory: Mike's granddaughter is the offspring of Ben and Leslie. Ben is the one who knocks (up Leslie).
-Adam Scott and Amy Poehler are starring in an upcoming movie called Adult Children of Divorce, where Poehler is playing Scott's mother-in-law. That makes me sad. And a little creeped out.
-Leslie and Ben's relationship survives the meeting of the parents, but its greatest test will be Joe Biden's guest appearance next week.Previous

FRIDAY, May 27 (HealthDay News) -- A new, "ultra-bad" form of
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol has been discovered in
people with a high risk for heart disease, according to British
They found that the cholesterol, called MGmin-LDL, is
super-sticky, making it more likely to attach to the walls of
arteries and form fatty plaques, which could lead to heart attacks
and stroke.
The discovery provides a possible explanation for the increased
risk of coronary heart disease in diabetics and could help
researchers develop new anti-cholesterol treatments, the
researchers suggested.
In the study, which was funded by the British Heart Foundation,
University of Warwick researchers created MGmin-LDL in a lab
through glycation, which is the adding of sugar groups to normal
LDL cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol. The
process changed the cholesterol's shape, making it stickier and
more likely to build fatty plaques, narrow arteries and reduce
blood flow and turning it into what they called "ultra-bad"
The findings, released online May 26 in
Diabetes, could have significant implications for the treatment of coronary heart disease, particularly in older people and those with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the researchers said, the results of their study shed light on how a common type 2 diabetes drug, metformin, fights heart disease by blocking the transformation of normal LDL into the super-sticky LDL.
"We're excited to see our research leading to a greater understanding of this type of cholesterol, which seems to contribute to heart disease in diabetics and elderly people," the study's lead researcher, Naila Rabbani, an associate professor of experimental systems biology at Warwick Medical School, said in a university news release.
"The next challenge is to tackle this more dangerous type of cholesterol with treatments that could help neutralize its harmful effects on patients' arteries," she said.

Artist Talk: Saturday, Oct 5th, 2p:
in conversation with:
John Dunivant
The Lodge Gallery, 131 Chrystie St., NYC (bt Broome & Delancey)
John Dunivant, artist and founder of Detroit's "Theatre Bizarre," discusses his current exhibition, "The Expatriate Parade," and the Theatre itself. The paintings on view explore the world of "Theatre Bizarre" by depicting its inhabitants celebrating and embracing a dark and glorious march toward the unknown.
"Since the turn of the century, Theatre Bizarre has been rollicking in the darkness. First, by creating a phantasmagorical (and entirely illegal) theme park in the shadows of one of Detroits most dangerous neighborhoods. Providing an event worthy of its legendary status, built by an army of volunteers, it emerged for only one indescribable night a year. Each year it grew in scope and in detail, The New York Times exclaimed Over-The-Top! and Bizarre Magazine (UK) called it One of the greatest Halloween parties in the world! Until the city was forced to shut it down in 2010. Not to be dissuaded, Theatre Bizarre birthed a new world and revealed a new path in 2011. Lifting a veil on their own carnivalesque secret society and inviting the revelers to join them on a journey once more."
