Quarterly Report
Forward-looking Statements
Certain written and oral statements set forth below or made by Hastings with the approval of an authorized executive officer constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "project," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future including statements relating to the business, expansion, merchandising and marketing strategies of Hastings, industry projections or forecasts, inflation, effect of critical accounting policies including lower of cost or market for inventory adjustments, the returns process, rental asset depreciation, store closing reserves, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, and vendor allowances, sufficiency of cash flow from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and statements expressing general optimism about future operating results are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon our management's current estimates, assumptions and expectations, which are based on information available at the time of the disclosure, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, consumer appeal of our existing and planned product offerings, and the related impact of competitor pricing and product offerings; overall industry performance and the accuracy of our estimates and judgments regarding trends; our ability to obtain favorable terms from suppliers; the reduction or elimination of the in-store window for rental video; our ability to respond to changing consumer preferences, including with respect to new technologies and alternative methods of content delivery, and to effectively adjust our offerings if and as necessary; the application and impact of future accounting policies or interpretations of existing accounting policies; whether our assumptions turn out to be correct; our inability to attain such estimates and expectations; a downturn in market conditions in any industry relating to the products we inventory, sell or rent; the degree to which we enter into and maintain vendor relationships; the challenging times that the U.S. and global economies are currently experiencing, the effects of which have had and will continue to have an adverse impact on spending by Hastings' current retail customer base and potential new customers, and the possibility that general economic conditions could deteriorate further; volatility of fuel and utility costs; the "sequester" and related governmental spending and budget matters; acts of war or terrorism inside the United States or abroad; unanticipated adverse litigation results or effects; the effect of inclement weather on the ability of consumers to reach our stores and other factors which may be outside of our control; any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. We undertake no obligation to affirm, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Incorporated in 1972, Hastings Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company," "Hastings," or "Hastings Entertainment") is a leading multimedia entertainment retailer. We operate entertainment superstores that buy, sell, trade and rent various home entertainment products, including books, music, software, periodicals, movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, video games, video game consoles, hobby, sports and recreation and consumer electronics. We also offer consumables and trends products such as apparel, t-shirts, action figures, posters, greeting cards and seasonal merchandise. As of July 31, 2013, we operated 130 superstores principally in medium-sized markets located in 19 states, primarily in the Western and Midwestern United States. We also operate three concept stores, Sun Adventure Sports, located in Amarillo, Texas and Lubbock, Texas and TRADESMART, located in Littleton, Colorado. Sun Adventure Sports sells a wide range of bicycles and related accessories, skateboards, and various other athletic equipment, apparel, and shoes, and offers bicycle repair services and cycling classes. TRADESMART, born from the culture of recycling, features over 400,000 predominantly used and new books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, video games and video game systems, as well as consumer electronics, trends, skateboards and paintball merchandise, and much more available for purchase. TRADESMART also buys back for cash or store credit entertainment products that customers have previously enjoyed.
We also operate a multimedia entertainment e-commerce web site offering a broad selection of books, software, video games, movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, music, trends, comics, sports & recreation and electronics. We fill orders for new and used product placed at the website and also through Amazon and eBay Marketplaces using our proprietary goShip program, which allows us to ship directly from stores or the distribution center. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Hastings Internet, Inc.
References herein to fiscal years are to the twelve-month periods that end in January of each following calendar year. For example, the twelve-month period ending January 31, 2014 is referred to as fiscal 2013.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following critical accounting estimates comprise our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant estimates and assumptions are reviewed, and any required adjustments are recorded, on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Lower of Cost or Market for Merchandise Inventory. Our merchandise inventories are recorded at the lower of cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or market. Inventory costing requires certain significant estimates and judgments involving the allocation of costs and vendor allowances. These practices affect ending inventories at cost, as well as the resulting gross margins and inventory turnover ratios. As with any retailer, economic conditions, cyclical customer demand and changes in purchasing or distribution can also affect the carrying value of inventory. As circumstances warrant, we record the lower of cost or market inventory adjustments. In some instances, these adjustments can have a material effect on the financial results of an annual or interim period. In order to determine such adjustments, we evaluate the age, inventory turns and estimated market value and returnability of merchandise inventory by product category and record an adjustment if estimated market value is below cost.
Rental Asset Depreciation. We have established rental asset depreciation policies that match rental product costs with the related revenues. These policies require that we make significant estimates, based upon our experience, as to the ultimate amount and timing of revenue to be generated from our rental product. We utilize an accelerated method of depreciation because it approximates the pattern of demand for the product, which is higher when the product is initially released by the studios for rental and declines over time. In establishing salvage values for our rental product, we consider the sales prices and sales volume of our previously rented product and other used product.
We currently depreciate the cost of our rental assets on an accelerated basis over six months or nine months, except for rental assets purchased for the initial stock of a new store, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 36 months. Rental assets, which include DVDs, Blu-Rays and video games, are depreciated to salvage values ranging from $4 to $15. Rental assets purchased for less than established salvage values are not depreciated.
We also review the carrying value of our rental assets to ensure that estimated future cash flows exceed the carrying value. We periodically record adjustments to the carrying value of previously rented product primarily for estimated obsolescence or excess product based upon changes in our original assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand or actual market conditions are less favorable than our original estimates, additional adjustments, including adjustments to useful lives or salvage values, may be required. We continually evaluate the estimates surrounding the useful lives and salvage values used in depreciating our rental assets. Changes to these estimates resulting from changes in consumer demand, changes in customer preferences or the price or availability of retail products may materially impact the carrying value of our rental assets and our rental margins.
The costs of rental product purchased pursuant to revenue-sharing arrangements, which are recorded in rental cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations, typically include a lower initial product cost than traditional rental purchases with a certain percentage of the net rental revenues shared with studios over an agreed period of
time. Any up-front costs exceeding the designated salvage value are amortized on an accelerated basis and revenue-sharing payments pursuant to the applicable arrangement are expensed as rental cost of sales as the related revenue is earned. Additionally, certain titles have performance guarantees. We analyze titles that are subject to performance guarantees and recognize an estimated expense for under-performing titles throughout the applicable period based upon our analysis of the estimated rental revenue shortfall. We revise these estimates on a monthly basis, based on actual results.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate under-performing stores on a quarterly basis to determine whether projected future cash flows over the remaining lease term are sufficient to recover the carrying value of the fixed asset investment in each individual store. If projected future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the fixed asset investment, an impairment charge is recognized if the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value of such assets. The carrying value of leasehold improvements as well as certain other property and equipment is subject to impairment write-down.
Income Taxes. In determining net income (loss), we make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of tax expense and the resulting tax liabilities and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. We base the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities on enacted tax rates that we expect will apply to taxable earnings in the year when we expect to settle or recover those temporary differences. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities on any change in income tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our ability to carry back operating losses to prior periods, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. We reassess the valuation allowance quarterly, and, if future evidence allows for a partial or full release of the valuation allowance, a tax benefit will be recorded accordingly.
The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood, on a cumulative basis, of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties relating to any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
Share-Based Compensation. Determining the amount of share-based compensation to be recorded in the statement of operations requires us to develop estimates that are used in calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options. In determining the fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires us to make estimates of the following assumptions:
� Expected volatility - The estimated stock price volatility is derived based upon our historical stock prices over the expected life of the option.
� Expected life of the option - The estimate of an expected life is calculated based on historical data relating to grants, exercises and cancellations, as well as the vesting period and contractual life of the option.
� Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected life of the option.
� Expected dividend yield - The estimated rate based on the stock's current market price and forecasted dividend payout.
Our stock price volatility and expected option lives reflect management's best estimates at the grant date, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes pricing model and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the vesting period of the option.
We recognize compensation expense only for the portion of options that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.
In addition to stock options, we award restricted stock awards, including restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock awards. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the average of the opening and closing stock price on the day on which they are granted. For performance-based restricted stock awards, compensation expense is recognized if management deems it probable that the performance conditions will be met. Management must use its judgment to determine the probability that a performance condition will be met. If actual results differ from management's assumptions, future results could be materially impacted.
Gift Card Breakage Revenue. We sell gift cards through each of our stores and through our web site www.goHastings.com. The gift cards we sell have no stated expiration dates or fees and are subject to potential escheatment rights in some of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Gift card liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue at the time of sale of such cards with the costs of designing, printing and distributing the cards recorded as expense as incurred. Gift card breakage revenue is recognized as gift cards are redeemed, based upon an analysis of the aging and utilization of gift cards, our determination that the likelihood of future redemption is remote and our determination that such balances are not subject to escheatment laws applicable to our operations.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 Revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased approximately $8.3 million, or 7.9%, to $95.8 million compared to $104.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. As of July 31, 2013, we operated 8 fewer superstores, as compared to July 31, 2012. The following is a summary of our revenues results (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended July 31, 2013 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Percent Percent Revenues Of Total Revenues Of Total Dollar Percent Merchandise Revenue $ 82,795 86.4 % $ 89,314 85.8 % $ (6,519 ) -7.3 % Rental Revenue 12,903 13.5 % 15,087 14.5 % (2,184 ) -14.5 % Gift Card Breakage Revenue 83 0.1 % (348 ) (0.3 %) 431 123.9 % Total Revenues $ 95,781 100.0 % $ 104,053 100.0 % $ (8,272 ) -7.9 %
Comparable-store revenues ("Comp")
Total -6.2 % Merchandise -5.4 % Rental -10.9 %
Below is a summary of the Comp results for our major merchandise categories:
Three Months Ended July 31, 2013 2012 Trends 10.7 % 11.2 % Electronics 7.2 % 5.4 % Movies 2.9 % 0.4 % Hardback Caf� 2.7 % 12.1 % Consumables -6.1 % 7.9 % Music -10.9 % -11.6 % Games -14.8 % -22.8 % Books -14.9 % 2.5 %
Trends Comps increased 10.7% for the quarter, primarily due to increased sales in action figures, novelty toy gifts, barware, licensed and branded products, and recreation and lifestyles products. Licensed and branded products for which we experienced strong sales during the quarter were Minecraft, Duck Dynasty and My Little Pony. The Trends department also includes recreation and lifestyles products whose growth was driven by the addition of hobby products to reset stores as well as the growth in the existing categories of skateboards, disc golf, exercise accessories and airsoft products. Electronics Comps increased 7.2% for the quarter, primarily due to increased sales in categories such as speaker systems, tablets and accessories, home entertainment, wireless phone accessories, gadgets and turntables. Expanded product categories such as televisions, fitness electronics, kids electronics, home security and app enhanced accessories also showed strong growth. Movies Comps increased 2.9% for the quarter, primarily due to increased sales of new DVD Boxed Sets and new Midline DVD movies, partially offset by declining sales in used DVD movies. Hardback Caf� Comps increased 2.7% for the quarter, primarily due to increased sales in hot and cold beverages, partially offset by decreased sales in blended beverages. Consumables Comps decreased 6.1% for the quarter, primarily due to weaker sales of bottle drinks, fountain drinks and everyday consumable items. Music Comps decreased 10.9% for the quarter, primarily resulting from lower sales of new and used CDs and the continued increase in popularity of digital delivery. Games Comps decreased 14.8% for the quarter, primarily due to lower sales of new and used video game consoles and accessories and used video games. The longevity of the current console cycle continues to contribute to weak overall sales in the video game industry. Books Comps decreased 14.9% for the quarter, primarily due to a decrease in trade paperback sales as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 which included strong sales from the Fifty Shades trilogy, and to a lesser extent, a weaker release schedule for new books.
Rental Comps decreased 10.9% for the quarter primarily due to fewer rentals of DVDs and video games, partially offset by an increase in rentals of Blu-Ray movies. Rental Movie Comps decreased 9.5% for the quarter partially due to a weaker new release schedule during the quarter as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and the continued impact of competitor rental kiosks and subscription-based rental services. Rental Video Game Comps, which continue to be affected by the longevity of the current console cycle, decreased 23.1%.
Gross Profit - Merchandise. For the second quarter, total merchandise gross profit dollars decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 10.6%, to $27.1 million from $30.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue, which is partially attributed to operating fewer superstores this quarter compared to the same period in the prior year, combined with a decline in gross profit margin rate. As a percentage of total merchandise revenue, merchandise gross profit decreased to 32.7% for the quarter compared to 33.9% for the same period in the prior year, resulting primarily from a continued shift in mix of revenues by category, higher shrinkage and a higher expense to return products.
Gross Profit - Rental. For the second quarter, total rental gross profit dollars decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 16.0%, to $8.4 million from $10.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue which is partially attributed to operating fewer superstores this quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total rental revenue, rental gross profit decreased to 65.4% for the quarter compared to 66.6% for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in revenues under revenue sharing agreements which generally have lower margins when compared to traditional agreements.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A decreased to 41.1% for the second quarter compared to 41.4% for the same period in the prior year. SG&A decreased approximately $3.6 million during the quarter, or 8.4%, to $39.4 million compared to $43.0 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease results primarily from a $1.5 million reduction in corporate salary expense due to lower bonus payouts and the restructuring that took place in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a $1.0 million reduction in store labor expense, a decrease of $0.7 million in store advertising and a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation expense. The decrease in depreciation expense and, to a certain extent, the decrease in store labor expense, are primarily a result of operating fewer superstores this quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. These reductions were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in store maintenance expense.
Interest Expense. For both the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, interest expense was approximately $0.3 million, as interest rates for both periods averaged 2.5%.
Income Tax Expense. The effective tax rate for the second quarter was (1.3%) primarily due to Texas state income tax, which is based primarily on gross margin.

Terence Garvin is
fighting for a position on the Pittsburgh Steelers' 53-man roster and the
latest opportunity to showcase what he's capable of came against Washington on
Monday night.
The former West Virginia
University defender is learning the ins and outs of playing linebacker for
Pittsburgh and with the help of some veterans around him, he believes he is
making real progress.
"Just a lot of little
stuff about playing linebacker and a lot of technique stuff," Garvin said of
what older players have taught him. "Of course, trying to learn the playbook,
they're always there for you. They taught me a lot of stuff when it comes to
blitzing. The whole position, really, they've been there for me. The mentality,
it's a lot like we were at West Virginia, a hardnosed, come at you mentality."
Garvin is in the middle
of a months-long job interview and he knows that every play in football could
be his last, so he approaches each practice and preseason game rep as though it
is. He doesn't allow himself to look ahead to the impending cuts each team must
make in order to dwindle its roster or concern himself with whether or not he
makes Pittsburgh's practice squad.
"You really just have to
come out here and play every day. You can't really think about what you can't
control," said Garvin.
Less than a year removed
from being one of the cornerstones of WVU's defense, Garvin continues to keep
tabs on his old team.
"[WVU safety Darwin] Cook,
that's my man. He tells me he's excited about [the season]," said Garvin. "He
said they've been looking good, they've been practicing well, so I'm excited to
see what they've got. They're got some new people up there, so if people just
step up, they'll be straight."
See Garvin's entire video
interview above.

Don't you think that Christmas lights waste huge energy ?
For the whole Christmas period, streets and houses will brighten up with various decorations, tinsels and trees… Around the world and especially on Strasbourg which is called the world's capital of Christmas, colorful lights and decorations are everywhere. Cities are enchanting and tourists are coming in million…
Apart from being very expensive, don't you think that it depicts huge energy consumption?
Thinking about the total amount of bulbs illuminated should be afraid you !
Moreover, outdoor municipal public skating rinks will be opened to entertainment people. But it needs a larger cooling system to keep the ice at the right temperature. Energy wasteful again !
What do you think about it ? Does Christmas period need so much electricity or can we reduce it ?

7/2/2010 - LinkUpdate!
Just an update from me in Spain!
I've spent most of my time here sleeping which is nice.
My back was playing up, but after going to the theme park Terra Mitica yesterday it seems a lot better. I went on the weirdest ride I have ever been on, it's called Inferno, I'll add the picture in when I got back.
As well as everything else in there, other than the big wooden rollercoaster as I've been on it before and it's just uncomfortable.
I've been having really odd dreams since I've been out here as well. I had a dream I was in the woods with someone from work and someone I don't talk to anymore and one of them stole my trainers so the other one leant me his.
And we were in an elaborate treehouse.
I've dreamt I'm at the pub as well. Haha.
And that I'm still in the car on the way to Download.
I'm really missing everyone at the moment, my Pedes, my dice buddies, my college buddies, old and new, the people I go out with. I'm even missing work! And work people. And those who stalk me online! I think I'm just craving socialising with people my own age.
But yeah, I'll be back on Monday and normality will return. Might even end up with a tan. Haha. ;)
And now, to get ready to go down (well, up) to the pool. Toodles! X

In my search for paleo friendly recipes that satisfy my need for grain products, I have discovered a great cookbook. The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, by Elana Amsterdam. (*Note: Please see previous posts about my feelings toward the brand of almond flour that you use.) I used several of the recipes during the holidays for some "Christmas goodies". One has been a huge hit. So much so that it has been placed in my 'what you take with you to a get together' repertoire. I'm a little late on the add but here it is anyway.
I call them Pecan Sandies but I believe the book refers to them as Pecan Shortbread Cookies.
2 1/2 cups of blanched almond flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup grape seed oil
5 TBSP agave nectar
1 TBSP vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In one bowl your combine you almond flour, salt, baking soda, and pecans (it's crucial that you toast them, makes all the difference). ** I sift in my baking soda (and powder as well if recipe calls for it). It may not make a difference but seems to me you don't have that nasty little surprise of a bitter bite when you sift them in.
In another bowl you whisk together the grapeseed oil, agave, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until thoroughly combined.
Roll the dough into a large log about 2.5 inches in diameter, then wrap it in parchment paper. Place in freezer for 1 hour (although most times I do it the night before so I can just do cut and bake cookies the next day). Remove, unwrap, and cut it into 1/8 inch slices onto your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-10 minutes (but watch the first few batches). Let cookies cool on sheet for a bit before transferring to serving plate.
Hope you all enjoy them as much as we have. Definitely check out the above cookbook. Was really well put together!

Originally written December 26, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily:
Another week, another snap decision by the Green Bay Packers' medical staff regarding Charles Woodson. As it has in previous weeks, the team made an early declaration on the status of the veteran safety, ruling him out Wednesday for Sunday's significant regular-season finale at Minnesota. Woodson hasn't played since he suffered a broken collarbone in the Oct. 21 win at St. Louis, though he's been able to do some things in practice the last month. "I know he's disappointed," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of Woodson missing a ninth straight game. "This is a game that he really would like to play in, but this is clearly based on (team doctor Pat) McKenzie's recommendation." Woodson said after practice Wednesday that he didn't have a setback in his recovery and that one more week of not playing is being done for precautionary reasons. The Packers want to have the 15th-year vet and eight-time Pro Bowl selection fully healthy for ...

It's Wednesday, which means group trail run. It had been a few weeks since I had been able to join these guys because of work so it was great to get out there again.
My endurance is improving, there is a lot less walking, and I am enjoying trail running more and more. And the fall weather only made today's 4.25 miles that much better.

Western Caribbean Cruises from Tampa
Western Caribbean cruises go to Cozumel, Costa Maya, the Cayman Islands and other exotic ports. You might visit ancient Mayan ruins or just soak up the sun on a Gulf of Mexico beach. The fun really cranks up at night. Western Caribbean cruises from Tampa are offered by Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Holland America Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line. The lines offer a variety of prices and itineraries.
The popular western Caribbean cruise destinations of Cozumel, Costa Maya and Playa del Carmen are on the coast of Mexico. They're on the Yucatan Peninsula which means the ruins of Mayan cities and temples are nearby. Cozumel is actually an island but it's not too far from the ruins at Tulum and Chichen-Itza. The wild nightlife, diving and shopping for silver jewelry are other attractions.
At the Cayman Islands, many cruises stop at Grand Cayman. The island is flat, but the coral reefs are excellent. At Stingray City scores of tame stingrays swim around visiting snorkelers. They suck food right out of your hand! Seven Mile Beach has sparkling white sand.
No matter where your western Caribbean cruise takes you, you're likely to have a very good time. It's a great escape in the cold weather months.

The White House will host its annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday April 1 this year. More than 35,000 people will join the First Family on the South Lawn for "games, stories, and, of course, the traditional egg roll."
Also, because we apparently can't just let kids have fun anymore, the day's activities will include sports courts and cooking demonstrations in accordance with Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign. Nothing says "Happy Easter" like educating families on "smart ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise choices into their daily routines."
I can just imagine the disappointment on some kid's face when the Easter Bunny hands him a carrot instead of chocolate. Not everything has to be turned into an educational seminar. You know how to get kids not to care about healthy eating habits and exercising regularly? Jam it down their throats on a candy-holiday.
It's not like parents are really going to listen to any of the cooking lessons anyway -- they're at the White House, and they're trying to keep track of their kids while vying for a chance to shake the president's hand all the while hoping that no one has a melt down and embarrasses them in such a public, important setting.
The best way to teach is by example. You don't have to explain everything as you do it -- you just do it. As I write this, I'm at Chick-fil-A, because it's spring break over here and I didn't have a sitter today and my kids were bouncing off the walls. They ate their chicken nuggets, some waffle fries, and small milkshakes. Yes, fries and shakes! They are currently wearing themselves out in the play structure while I tap away on my keyboard, glancing up occasionally to make sure they're not crying or bleeding.
I didn't have to sit down and explain calories or making healthy decisions or anything to them. I just provided them with the opportunity to have fun. I gave them their chicken first so they wouldn't fill up on fries. I sent them off to play. Done.
The best way for Michelle Obama to teach families to be healthy is not to turn the Egg Roll into "fat camp." It's to have a great event, with lots of healthy eating options like sandwiches on whole wheat bread or salads or fruit or whatever kind of thing they serve at functions like this. And don't forget lots of candy -- it's Easter after all!
Then turn the kids loose and them have a ball running around like crazy sugar-rushed maniacs. Not only will they burn off all the sugar calories, they'll develop muscle strength and social skills as they make new friends and learn to get along in a group setting. That is healthy living, not "sports courts" and "cooking demonstrations."
Do you think the White House should make the Easter Egg Roll more about fun than nutrition?

I agree w/ Cass. If Anne Romney was doing the exact same thing, you'd all be singing her praises. The seeming hatred of Mrs. Obama is just petty. Still sore losers aren't you, Repubs?
So many of these comments are from people who are so blatant in their bias against Mrs. Obama and her husband that previous comments from them nullifies anything they say her. michelle Obama practices what she preaches by eating healthy, quite often even on photo ops and modeling having an active lifestyle. If she was overweight and gulping down heaps of unhealthy food, I would concede the point that she does not practice what she preaches. However, we all know that Billsfan and ponychaser have an agenda whenever the post on, "The Stir" and no matter what the Obamas do they will have a negative comment to share.
I think you're all losing the focus. Yes, Jenny is conservative. Yes, she generally writes bad things about the Obamas. I get annoyed by her myself a lot. But the truth is that not everything she writes is without merit, and on this, I halfway agree with her. But only half! I think the sports courts are a fine idea. Kids will be running around and playing basketball and whatever, and that's what kids that age are supposed to be doing. The cooking demonstrations seem out of place at an Easter event. If she were hosting cooking demonstrations with low cost, more bang for your buck ingredients, I think that would be helpful to poorer parents who might not know how to make good food that they can afford. The junk is cheaper! It's all in how its executed and the appropriateness of the venue. IMO, sports courts, YAY! Kids'll love 'em. Cooking demonstrations? Wrong time, wrong place.
Doesn't matter what side of the fence you're on: Michelle Obama is fit.
What I really want to say: why not just post a link with "Here is an article by a man named Craig Bannister. Rather than lifting the words straight off another blog/news site and including a useless personal anecdote like I usually do, I'm going to give credit where credit is due for ideas that are never mine."
Did anyone else click on the link? Headlines, emphasis quotes... the same.
I don't care what The Stir writers' politics are; I do care that they have little integrity and jack things from other sites.
It should of been about fun. I don't give my kids tons of candy, but on special occasions no problem. Those kids don't want carrots, unless it is filled with jelly beans.
Oh, good, Dreabug. THANK YOU. You can be embarrassed for me. I'm SO relieved!! Now I can get on with the rest of my life, embarrassment-free.
There is a disconnect when she advocates a "healthy eating" program for the rest of us, but every time she has an eating photo-op, it involves junk food. Everyone around that family is supposed to be so media-savvy, and yet if you look at pics of her eating, it's almost always a big greasy burger, a big ol' hoagie, fast food, or a giant slice of pizza. Rarely, if ever, is there a picture of her eating well.
And if we must compare with Laura Bush, there ARE pics of her out there with books - plenty of them - mostly of her reading to classrooms full of kids. The fact of the matter is, Mrs. Bush had a background in what she advocated. She practiced what she preached, long before she preached it. Michelle Obama did not, and does not. For her, it feels more like a publicity stunt.
Bottom line - this is a day for the kids. Let them play, let them eat. Have a different day for cooking classes and preaching about healthy eating.

The world's record-breaking roads: In pictures
The longest road bridge over the sea in the world - Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, Shandong Province, China
Prepare to be amazed, bridge fans. This is the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China's Shandong Province, the world's longest road bridge over the sea. It's 25.8 miles long and connects Qingdao and Huangdao by carrying the road out across Jiaozhou Bay. Only 16.6 of its miles are over water, however, so this isn't actually the longest road bridge continuously over water in the world.

Another Win For Vegaltarianism?
From a Vietnam travelogue…
I was traveling in Vietnam in late December and early January, and this is what I saw with my own eyes, first hand. And this is what the people I interviewed told me. On the issue of meat and aggressiveness, perhaps that was not as well phrased as it should have been. But eating a diet rich in protein will make you more robust than others, in Laos, Cambodia and other Southeast Asian states who eat rice and very little else. After all half of Laotian children grow up stunted, even today. In Cambodia the rate is 40 percent. That means they grow up short and not so smart.
It's a funny thing but the truth has a nasty habit of remaining true even when it's not popular.
PS: This modern habit of decrying as racist factual observations of other cultures, to me, is the height of arrogance and seems to me a pretty likely indicator of oikophobia on the part of the critic not racism on the part of the writer. But that's just me, what say you?

Shop Early
After a year when I rushed around at the last minute trying to find gifts that people would like, I began shopping for the following year at the after Christmas sales. Now I shop year round and I am excited and eager to share my treasures with their recipients. For those that "have everything," we give gift certificates to their favorite restaurants or tickets to an event we know they will enjoy.
Marilyn Cinami, Canterbury, Conn.
By the time Thanksgiving is here, everything that I could get ahead of time is already bought, and I have only last minute shopping to do. We can spend the rest of the time shopping for simple fun items like stocking stuffers, a Christmas tree and the ingredients for the special desserts we make. We get to wrap gifts, decorate, send cards, bake and visit friends and family — joyfully! And isn't that how it's supposed to be? We try to never get stressed out or we would lose the true meaning of Christmas, which is love!
Dottie Wolfe, Richmond, Va.
I start shopping the week before Thanksgiving. The sales are on and everything?s in the stores, but definitely not as many people. I hate crowds. Best day to shop without a crowd is the day before Thanksgiving. Know what you?re looking for and the stores are all stocked with goods. This way if you see it on sale after Thanksgiving, some stores will give you the discounted price.
Kathleen Christy, Shelton, Conn.
Because of chronic health problems and not knowing when I'll be up and around, I start my Christmas shopping right after Christmas and continue through the year. I keep a file card in my wallet of all gifts bought for whom, and usually I'm done by the end of summer. I wrap and deliver my presents in the fall to the extended family. I'm even able to find interesting (not run of the mill) stocking gifts for my husband and children when I'm shopping during vacation trips throughout the year.This keeps my gift search leisurely and fun.
M K Colclasure, Orlando, Fla.
I start my Christmas shopping for the next year during the Christmas clearance sales right after Christmas. You can get great discounts, sometimes up to 80 percent off.
Christine Peterson, Waukesha, Wis.

It can be hard to keep track of local events. But we here at the Patch try and keep tabs on things so you can have a one-stop spot to find ideas for the best things to see and do. Check out what is happening around town and around the county.
The Rohnert Park Farmer's Market kicks off at 5 p.m. and run until 8 p.m. With plenty of food vendors, beer, wine, and stuff for the kids it is a great time for all. The weather should be great and music will be provided by the Beatles Tribute band - Pepperland!
New Movies this weekend at the Rohnert Park 16 are: The Amazing Spider-Man (it opened Tuesday) which is a reboot of this classic done amazingly well but geared towards adults and not little kids. Savages opens on Friday and looks to be a very intense action/drama about pot growers facing off against the Mexican cartel. Katy Perry - Part of Me also opens and is tour performance piece.
Live Music includes Yo! Pizzaface playing rock/funk/blues at the Tradewinds, the Tal Morris Band hits the stage at 9:30 p.m. at Spancky's Bar, and Tainted Love will be rocking the Last Day Saloon at 9:30 p.m.
The Green World Music Festival kicks off in Sonoma on Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 12 a.m. They will combine world class acts, food, drinks, local crafts, and more. Tickets are $25 at the gate.
The Lion in Winter will be presented by Main Stage West and the New Spreckels Theatre Company this weekend. This powerful play has a well paced plot with great dialogue and should keep you on the edge of your seat. It plays on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
Art & Garden Festival! Pop down to Petaluma from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to enjoy a unique event in the historic Petaluma Downtown. The 11th Annual Festival will feature music, food, vendor booths, and family fun.

Updated: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 08:26:30 CST
Omaha State Senator Ernie Chambers introduced a bill this session that he says he prioritizes above any bill he has ever introduced.
That includes the many times Senator Chambers has attempted to repeal the death penalty.
So, what's the bill? LB 671, it would end the newly established mountain lion hunting season.
"In terms of animals and other helpless creatures, whether they're little children or old people need somebody to advocate for them when they cannot do it for themselves. The more help they need, the more ferocious and determined has to be the advocacy." Said Senator Chambers.
There's an estimated 22 mountain lions in our state.
Senator Chambers says they don't pose an active threat, and the only reason people are hunting them is for fun.
The bill advanced Friday in the legislature by a 31 to 5 vote.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Improve the way you search on Twitter to get better results
Twitter's search is a powerful tool. Where Google only shows you results from people who can afford to build websites, Twitter can show you what people are saying at any moment. When I have a problem, I usually search Twitter first to see if anyone else is asking the same question.
That being said, Twitter search is a finicky feature. Sometimes you can immediately find the results you're looking for, but occasionally you'll need to dig deeper. That's where this table of Twitter's search operators comes in handy (above).
Next time you're looking for something on Twitter, use these different 'operators' in addition to your keywords to get more specific results.

Ladies Night
Tonight was a great time getting together with The Ladies of Innate Family Chiropractic. Sold some of my very own handmade all natural beauty products and had a chance to share stories about the products. Everyone was very happy to try the FreshDelights Lotion Bars. Many positive responses to the light chocolate scent of the Lotion Bars. The face/body scrub was a hit as well. The light citrus scent is great for a morning scrub. Also the all natural deodorant was a major topic of conversation! Never knew I could have so much fun talking about deodorant. If you have never tried it, you must! It last all day and you never have to worry about embarrassing odors. The Doctors and several patients at Innate Family Chiropractic love it and swear by it. I love that so many people try to tell others to smell them just to prove that it works so well! Anyhow great night and looking forward to more events to sell and hopefully coming up with new products as well.

|Scioscia gets ejected
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 29 April 2007 10:19
The Angels had a 3-2 lead and runners on first and third and none out when Chicago's David Aardsma relieved Mark Buehrle, and Orlando Cabrera lofted a fly toward the left-field line. Ryan Sweeney made a diving catch and Los Angeles' Reggie Willits broke for home - too soon, apparently. What appeared to be a sacrifice fly turned into a double play when Joe Crede took the throw from Sweeney and stepped on third.
Scioscia argued vehemently, got ejected by plate umpire Adam Dowd and came out of the dugout to argue some more before leaving.

OXNARD, Calif. – The philosophy is "next man up," but this cannot be so simple.
The Cowboys do like
Though the Cowboys are confident Phillips can capably fill the role of No. 2 tight end, vacated by Martellus Bennett, they'll have to adjust now that he's a starter. The play-calling probably won't change much, as Phillips has approximately the same size and speed qualifications as Witten, but quarterback
"You can't replace a guy like Jason Witten," Phillips said. "He's a leader of this team, a leader of this offense. Not a guy you can replace. I'm not trying to replace him. He'll be able to lead from the sidelines, be able to help us out in the film room and stuff, but I'm sure he'll get his body right and do the things that he needs to do to get back and play on this team."
While the injury is not expected to linger deep into the fall, it's entirely possible Witten could be unavailable for the season opener on Sept. 5, now only 20 days away. Until then, every tight end on the roster slides up a notch.
Actually, rookie sixth-round pick
"He played a lot of snaps in this game and did some positive things," head coach Jason Garrett said. "He made some mistakes, like everybody does, but I thought he got more and more comfortable as the game wore on. He made some plays on special teams that showed up, he was a competitive blocker and then he made a couple of plays in the passing game as well. So (he was) real comfortable out there. He just needs to play more, like all the young guys do, but I thought it was a good start for him."
If Witten is sidelined for the opener at New York, it increases the odds of undrafted rookie
Missing Witten in preseason games is not a crisis, and in looking for a silver lining, the Cowboys will point to the extra reps and opportunity for the Cowboys' younger tight ends. But the possibility of being without him against the Giants makes the proposition of winning the NFL Kickoff game even more difficult.
Should Witten miss the game, it'll be up to the Cowboys' offensive coaches to put Phillips and the other tight ends in the best position to succeed.
"It's an injury that we've got to deal with," tight ends coach and passing game coordinator John Garrett said. "John Phillips is ready like he's proven since he's been here. Confidence comes from demonstrated performance, and he's demonstrated every time that he's been in there that he has really played well. If you go back when he had to play against the Saints, when they were undefeated (in 2009), our second tight end was out and he went in and he did a great job and we won the game. Two years ago when our second tight end was out and he had to play, he did great, and everybody said who's this John Phillips?
"We didn't think he could do this, or he could do that, and he just goes out and proves to everybody that he's capable."

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Lowering High Blood Pressure Can Reverse Some Dementia in the Elderly
At 12 weeks, both thinking and memory improved by 15% to 40%, and there were similar improvements in gait and other movements, says Jacobson. These improvements were still present at six months, he says.
The patients who had the most marked improvements on the memory and psychological tests -- about a third of the patients -- also had a type of brain scan called a PET scan. "PET scans measure brain activity and brain metabolism," says Jacobson. "The scans demonstrated a high level of brain activity in these patients."
Marvin Moser, MD, clinical professor of medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, tells WebMD that data from other studies suggest that controlling blood pressure in patients as old as 80 can improve many aspects of life, including cognitive function. He says that although high blood pressure is called "a silent killer, patients often tell us that they don't feel that well when they have high blood pressure. When the pressure comes down, the patient feels better."
Moser, who wasn't involved in the study, is an outspoken advocate for the elderly. He says that treating high blood pressure in an 80-year-old reduces the patient's risk of stroke and heart failure, as well as improving cognitive function.
Jacobson says that he is planning a much larger study to confirm the results of his small study.

Kim Zolciak says that the reports of her having money troubles are all lies. On Thursday, Feb. 27, Radar Online reported that Kim Zolciak and her husband, Kroy Biermann, are facing eviction from their Atlanta mansion because of unpaid taxes. Kim swiftly took to Twitter to deny it.
According to Radar, the former "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" couple were served with two tax liens, one for $1,665.26 and another for $10,572.67 in early January. They were told that they have to pay the money owed within 90 days or else their home could be seized.
"Another day another bulls**t story! I guess I better get to work to pay 12k," Kim tweeted right after the story came out.
"Seriously.. If the media spent as much time on positivity as they do negativity/lies can you imagine what a better world we would live in!" she later added.
She also tweeted that she and her husband were getting another 4 wheeler, sent a sponsored tweet for Xenadrine, and posted a photo of some killer shoes, perhaps to show everyone that she has no problem with money right now.
Guess she won't be returning to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" because she needs a paycheck then!
Do you think that Kim Zolciak is having money troubles or is it all just a lie like she claims?
