[Sunday People] Which pop lothario with many a bedpost notch is surprisingly more of a chipolata than a trouser-snake in the lunchbox department?
BG Note: Chipolata = short, thin breakfast-type sausage.

Emmyb1608 says
Harry Styles?
oldstephens says
Enrique Iglesias. Admitted he was hung like a gerkin.
busted says
Nah, his is apparently very adequate 🙂
guiltywhispers says
We have all seen his penis-not him.
curiositythecat says
Have we?
True007 says
Justin Bieber
stolidog says
Tom Jones
OhSoLittleMouse says
Please be Robin Thicke!
luvprue1 says
I think it is Robin Thicke. Which can be one of the reasons why Paula is not trying to get back together with him.
ravenglass says
John Mayer
ravenglass says
This will become a song as soon as Taylor Swift comes up with a word that rhyme's with chipolata or sausage.
beckss says
hardly anyone in the UK knows of/ cares about John Mayer unless they read the American mags or websites (like me)
NettieHoney says
How about: you thought with your chipolata and broke-a my heart-a? No? I'll try to think of a rhyme for sausage. 😉
britbrat86 says
this is from a British site so Robbie Williams?
XxMileyXxMadonnaXx says
Justin Timberlake
Justin Bieber
bjd44 says
Mick Jaggar.
thelasthigh says
Justin Timberlake (his British nickname is "Justin Trouser-snake")
hallucinex says
probably bieber
bayougirl2 says
Justin Timberlake. There was a bit there when people referred to him as trouser snake i believe.
keenobserver says
no idea but chipolata is the best descriptive noun i've seen today!
weeblywoombly says
Meh, the Beibs. Those strippers and hookers he supposedly slept with several months ago were unconvincing about his prowess and the size of his package.
iluvgossip says
Harry Styles
CyndiTx123 says
Bieber…. hahaha!
Aristacats says
Gonna go with Justin Bieber
whatnow says
the biebs
sherlock says
Purely just because Keith Richards said in his book that Mick Jagger had a tiny pen*s,(which led to a massive falling out and they didn't talk for ages afterwards).I'll say it's Mick.
clarkster says
Please be Bieber!
Theo6 says
Enrique Iglesias
He's been quoted as saying he has a small penis.

generalZod says
no idea but my gut tells me john mayer.
across777 says
Lindylou says
probably Bieber, but I'm not sure about his 'many' conquests.
augustmom says
Dang, I am not up on Brit Pop! Hence, I'll go with the only Brit Pop I know: someone from 1D.
bangthosehoes says
The Biebs.
His "trouser-snake" is often referred as the Bieberconda by his fans, the beliebers.
scumby says
Synapse3 says
Mick Jagger
sweeeeet says
It's British so I'm guessing Robbie Williams?
SBMC says
Justin Timberlake – clue: "lunchbox" from "Dick In a Box" song.
annabelle77 says
Here we go . Another visual to haunt me, probably when I eat breakfast. Crap. No clue, thank god.
sassay says
Pretty sure most will guess this is Beiber. I think he should be happy with that as i'm surprised he has one at all!
PoniTayl says
Baby Bieber

Adam Levine

Enrique iglasias (can't spell his last name lol)… But isn't that a well known thing?

John Mayer
wammes49 says
Enrique Iglesias
smartplayer4 says
QJ201 says
Bieber…he doesn't have the Big D Confidence like Hammoconda
captain says
Eros Ramazotti
BadRyanScott says
Has to be Enrique Iglesias. Chipolata seems to be a Latin American word, and he's definitely a lothario (Just like his father before him). He dated Anna Kornakova (or however you spell it), and probably a lot of others. But this isn't really a blind item because he's said as much himself in at least one interview.
Failing that, it could also be Nick Lachey (ex-husband of Jessica Simpson). Supposedly there were some photos of him in a hot tub that his people tried to quash because they didn't show his goods in a particularly positive way.
BritishPound says
Catseyezzz says
John Mayer? I still love him though!
Riley831 says
Justin Beiber
AnguaDelphine says
All of them? Ok, I'll guess Robbie Williams, just because I think the word "lothario" fits him the best.
MsJennyR says
That would be Mr. Mick Jagger.
gail says
I agree. The picture in the blind looks like the album cover of "Sticky Fingers."
LALOVER says
mbs59er says
The "chipolata" makes me think Enrique, but I can't guess anyone other than Bieber
goopygoo says
JT….I knew his cocky unbearable attitude was covering up for something
I Am PunkA says
Enrique Iglesias
stolidog says
This can't be Justin Bieber…she's a lesbian, right?
sinamin says
NO WAY could this be John Mayer. Giada wouldn't put up with that.
cindycgy says
Justin Timberlake
JenJenJen says
Justin Timberlake. Some UK press had dubbed him "trouser-snake" at one time
Bamadex says
Not Harry Styles. There's a nude selfie floating around, dating from his X Factor days, and he's quite big. (Louis' poor behind may never recover!)
Iglesias is open about not being well hung. A good ploy since then no girls or boys will be disappointed.
Bieber seems the likely candidate. Not that he'd know what to do with it, regardless of size.
MikeInSanJose says
Dear Justin,
Sorry about the chipolata *. At least you have money.
Coulda been worse! Coulda been a Vienna Sausage. Those things taste NASTY!!
mira76 says
For some reason or another this makes me think of James Blunt.
hintoflime5 says
Enrique Iglesias
Lindsay says
This must be JT…his nickname was trouser snake and I'm guessing lunch box is a reference to his Dick In A Box song

Sno-Valley Vikings are 2001 Superbowl 'Cub' Champions
by Valley View staff
After two tough playoff games, the Sno-Valley Vikings football team went up against Issaquah in the Superbowl game at Bothell's Pop Keeney Field in late November.
Defensive coach Jeff Kriegbaum said the whole team made it, all of them, no egos, no problems, "just these 15 kids who wanted to play football. These kids by far are the best kids we have ever coached. Sometime after the 9/11 tragedy, the team started playing to their ability, hitting harder and just playing with heart. I always felt it was the American flags we had placed on our uniforms ... the coaches told the kids at practice that, 'you are Vikings and Americans and no one can take that from you.'"
Offensive coach Coy Chittenden agreed.
"We have a great bunch of kids this year," he said.
Assistant coaches Brian Johnson and Vince Vasquez rounded out the coaching staff.
The game started with Issaquah controlling the football, which continued through the first half.
They marched down the field and then stalled on the 30-yard line. Sno-Valley took over on downs but could not move the ball.
After Sno-Valley got off a good punt, Issaquah took over on the 45-yard line. After a couple of first downs from running up the middle, Issaquah ran a miss-direction play and scored on a 23-yard touchdown run. Sno-Valley coaches called timeout for the extra point, knowing this could be the deciding factor in the game. Issaquah attempted to run right, but Nate Johnson stepped up and made the tackle on the one, generating cheers from the Sno-Valley crowd.
Issaquah kicked off with an onside kick and recovered the ball. Then after several attempts to run the ball, they failed to get a first down and Sno-Valley took over on downs.
The offense led by Craig Chittenden, with Kenny Bates and Nate Johnson in the backfield, drove the ball to the 3-yard line. But on 4th down run, the running back slipped and Sno-Valley did not score. That ended the first half with the score 6-0 Issaquah.
The second half was all Sno-Valley. After stopping Issaquah on defense by some excellent tackles by Jacob "Corndog" Kriegbaum, Chittenden, Bates, and Scotty Brittan, Sno-Valley took over on their own 30-yard line.
With Kevin Lindsey hiking the ball and using the blocking Of Tyler Rooney and Cody Watts, Nate Johnson was able to get a break-away run for 60 yards and score. Again following Watts and Rooney, Johnson scored,and the extra point was good to bring the score to 7-6 Sno-Valley.
Both teams were struggling to move the ball. Sno-Valley had 4th down and elected to
punt. Chittenden got off a 40 yard punt (unbelievable at this level). Issaquah
took over, but on their first play, they fumbled and the ball was recovered by Sno-Valley. Then they marched the down the field with the blocking from Steve Brown, Josh Stark and
Vince Vasquez and scored with 55 seconds left on the clock. The extra point failed, so it was 13-6 Sno-Valley.
The defensive pressure put on by Christian King and JD "Waffles" Gorman, was tiring
the Issaquah offense. Unable to run at Mike Stockman, Chittenden, and Kriegbaum, they
attempted to run up the middle, and then right, but time was running out. Issaquah attempted a pass with 10 seconds left, but Brett DeRooy intercepted and Sno-Valley won the game.
"The kids were filled with emotion, some are crying ... four months of hard work, practicing in the dark with lights, pouring rain, homework, injuries, and just day-day life, finally overflowed," said Kriegbaum. "We have reached our final goal, that four months ago, seemed unattainable. We had one motto 'HIT and have FUN', and we did."
The head coaches for the Sno-Valley football program are Jeff Kriegbaum (Defense), Coy Chittenden (Offense) and Assistant Coaches Brian Johnson and Vince Vasqeuz.
"So, the next time you are at the store and see someone with a Viking jersey and
a American flag over their heart, say 'You guys won the Championship for Football,'
and look for the big smile, and then listen for the 'Yes we did,' followed with a big smile," said Kriegbaum.
Defensive coach Jeff Kriegbaum contributed to this report.

WALKER, MI — After being alerted to a fire at a nearby home, Tom Pellerito said he kicked down the door and ran into the blazing house in an attempt to save his neighbor.
Pellerito was too late to save the man, confirmed by Walker police to be a Robert J. Lillis Jr., 66, of Walker, who reportedly had died before Pellerito's rescue attempt Sunday evening, Jan. 19.
Around 6:30 p.m., Walker and Alpine Township firefighters responded to reports of smoke coming from the west side of a home in the 1000 block of Needham Court NW. Upon arrival, responders found a fully involved fire.
Prior to their arrival, Pellerito, who has owned the house across the street from Lillis for about 15 years, said he was alerted to the fire by another neighbor's child.
He said he immediately went to assist, kicking down the door and entering Lillis' home.
"It was full of smoke," Pellerito said. "The fire hadn't spread too far at that point, but in the other room, it was going through the ceiling."
Pellerito discovered the body of Lillis, a wheelchair-bound amputee who had suffered a stroke several years ago.
Pellerito said he grabbed Lillis and began pulling him out of the house. He yelled for help from the front doorway, and neighbors assisted him during the final stretch.
"I didn't have to go too far," Pellerito said. "He had apparently tried to get out of the house. He was pretty close to the front door."
Lillis was confirmed dead by responders. Pellerito said he looked soot-covered, but not burned. An autopsy to determine the cause of Lillis' death is pending at this time.
"I don't know how long the house had been in smoke," Pellerito said. "I didn't see it until the flames were shooting through the roof."
Pellerito denied any bravery on his part.
"I didn't really even think about it," he said. "You just do what you have to do. I figured we had to get in the house, so that's what I did.
"It really wasn't a matter of courage; somebody just had to do it, and it fell on me."
A malfunctioning appliance in the kitchen was determined to be the cause of the fire, the Walker Fire Department confirmed.
Pellerito expressed remorse that he wasn't more familiar with Lillis.
"It's terrible I don't know more about my neighbors," he said. "They live right next door to you and you don't really know them."
The rescue was reportedly not Pellerito's first. He said he pulled a drowning man out of the Grand River a few years ago.
"I was lucky I was in the right place at the right time," he said of that incident. "Unfortunately, I was not for Bob."
Lillis is survived by a first cousin.

Police raid meth lab in Falls
NEWTON FALLS – Police and Trumbull County HazMat crews raided a suspected methamphetamine lab Tuesday afternoon in the village.
"We had reliable information that there was suspected methamphetamine being manufactured here, and a subsequent check of it revealed that there in fact was," Newton Falls police Chief Gene Fixler said.
HazMat, the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office, Newton Falls police and fire departments, and the Warren Police Department's K-9 unit were called just after 3 p.m. to 314 Ophelia St. HazMat workers could be seen from the street collecting materials from a detached garage behind the house.
Fixler said the substances will be sent to the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and if the results are positive, charges are expected to be filed against the person police believe was manufacturing the meth.
Police said they received a tip about the suspected meth lab around 11 a.m. Tuesday. They said they intended to serve a warrant to the property owners' son, who was not home at the time.
Names of suspects were withheld pending possible charges. Police did confirm they were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on a Daniel Murray.
"I realized the residents' son, who stays here sometimes, actually had a warrant out of Trumbull County for driving under suspension. When I got here, I saw some substances in plain view," Newton Falls police Sgt. Steve Storm said.
"When the residents arrived they let me search the area," he said.
He said the investigation was contained to the garage and did not involve the house. Officers had not had any contact with the suspect as of late Tuesday afternoon, he said.
Storm said it appeared a "pop-bottle method" was used to make meth.

Brian Wilson at Bestival 2011 - review. We want your reviews too!
Appearing before a crowd that was in liquid form during his hey day, a frail Brian Wilson shuffles up to his keyboard to rapturous reception at Bestival. Supported by a hefty backing band that, at first glance, could be mistaken for his carers, it's clear that the rumours circulating about this being part of his final ever UK tour are gathering momentum.
An elderly-looking Wilson is being heavily carried by the nine-strong ensemble, who seem to be performing a neat ventriloquist act. Is that Wilson pelting out 'California Girls' with brittle-bone-shattering gusto? Look closely and it's the third chap from the right, about thirty years his youth, warbling most of it.
It's lucky the sun blazes as the crowd give oomph to nostalgic renditions of 'Help Me Rhonda', 'Heroes and Villains' and 'Surfin' USA' instead of his crumbling credibility further. Time to hang up your boardies, Bri.

The Portland Timbers participated in their first full-field, intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday as Timbers coach Caleb Porter evaluated his possible starting lineups.
There are still nearly six weeks before the Timbers' season opener against the Philadelphia Union, but Porter appeared to be already testing out possible starting lineups.
And there may be a few different starting lineups to try out. After a series of offseason moves, Porter feels he has deep team with versatile players, who can start in multiple positions.
"I think it's very important to have guys that can play in multiple spots because you don't know how the group is going to fit together and what guys we will need," Porter said.
A few notable starters were missing from the scrimmage, including midfielder Diego Valeri, who is recovering from sports hernia surgery, left back Michael Harrington, who is competing in the U.S. national team camp, and keeper Donovan Ricketts, who was held out of practice after falling during training Tuesday.
Still, Porter had a chance to put a possible starting lineup on the field and see them compete together against the Timbers' draft picks and likely reserves.
Who would you like to see in the Timbers' starting 11 this season?

Very interesting article I ran across today about a mother and daughter who "detoxed" for 3 days by avoiding contact with plastics. I was really surprised how quickly the levels of BPA in their urine decreased to the levels found in old order Mennonite communities.
We already avoid plastic as much as we can, but it's extremely difficult in this day and age. Even the grass-fed beef and pastured chicken we buy locally is packed in plastic.
What are your thoughts?

Fun, energetic show. Really a unique spot for a fun night.
Food was surprisingly good. However, 2 courses of the 3-course meal came on the same plate (soup and small salad), so it would be a good thing to add dessert to the set menu.
My only issue was that I had my birthday party here 5+ years ago, and this show used exactly the same end number. It was disappointing that they haven't changed their show in years! I'd love to go back, but now I know I've seen the show!

The food and service was a 4, performance and seating was a 2. So overall I'd say it was an OK experience. Nothing to rave about, but I may actually go back for a different show.
I was pretty disappointed with the seating. While the place is...continued

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
What the hell is that title all about, and how am I supposed to remember it? First of all, let's imagine for a second that you liked this film and you go to tell a friend about it, and that friend says, "Hidden Zebra, Squatting What?" So you have to keep repeating "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to anyone who you tell the film about. You'd think director Ang ("Sense and Sensibility") Lee could have come up with a simpler title, like "Kick Ass Bitches." I guarantee you that everybody would remember the title "Kick Ass Bitches."
The fact that Ang Lee was born in Taiwan is no excuse for this film's failure to connect with American audiences. He speaks really good English and has made numerous movies in the English language. The film's stars -- Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh -- both speak English. Yet this film is in Chinese, forcing those of us with barely enough patience to refrain from strangling the ticket-taker for ripping tickets too slowly to actually read subtitles. For God's sake, we live in the age of the computer! We have cell phones small enough to hide between our butt cheeks. Do we really still need to employ semivertebrates to rip our tickets before we go into a movie??
But I digress. If Chow Yun Fat is too damn lazy to speak a little English, then get George Clooney to dub his voice over. That'll show Chow. This movie is what Lee refers to as "Sense and Sensibility" with Kung Fu. I think he missed a grand opportunity here, because I really could have gone for Emma Thompson putting her foot through Kate Winslet's face. In this film, however, you have Lu Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) giving up a sword called the Green Destiny so he can reflect on life -- or something stupid like that. He leaves it with his friend, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), to give to Sir Te (Lung Sihung). Sir Te takes the sword, but it's promptly stolen. We soon discover the thief to be Jen (Zhang Ziyi) and that her governess is none other than Jade Fox (Cheng Pei Pei), the woman who killed Mu Bai's master.
There is a whole lot of chick-fighting in this film, accompanied by a whole lot of chick-longing. Jen longs for some guy she meets in the desert. Shu Lien longs for Mu Bai. When they're not longing, they kick a lot of ass. Unfortunately, they do a lot of this ass-kicking while flying through the air like kites. Maybe this has something to do with Chinese opera and maybe this is traditional for martial arts movies, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look awful damn silly. Think of Superman, and you get an idea of what it looks like. Unfortunately, when I think of Superman I think of Christopher Reeves and that horrible raspy noise he makes all the time now, which does not lend itself particularly tidily to Kick Ass Bitch fantasies.

Crews reopen 2 lanes of westbound SR 18
WSDOT reopened two lanes of westbound State Route 18 near Auburn at 3:23 a.m. Tuesday. Two landslides closed the westbound lanes last Thursday evening.
WSDOT contractor crews worked through the weekend to:
• Stabilize the steep hillside above the roadway by removing trees and loose debris
• Remove debris from the roadway
• Install drainage systems to handle stormwater run-off from the hillside
• Build a temporary wall in the westbound truck climbing lane designed to catch any remaining small debris that may fall.
• Construct a barrier in front of the wall
• Restripe the roadway
"Our crews took advantage of every dry bit of weather this weekend." said WSDOT Regional Administrator Lorena Eng. "The temporary fix allowed us to reopen one lane of westbound SR 18, which is a critical route for freight and commuters. WSDOT engineers will now focus their attention on designing a permanent fix for the hillside."
For photos of the slide visit the WSDOT Flickr site at: www.flickr.com/photos/wsdot/4274285385/.
Keeping traffic moving
SR 18 is a major route for commuters and freight haulers. While two lanes of westbound SR 18 are open, drivers should continue to expect heavier traffic on nearby local roads as well as SR 167, SR 516 and I-405. WSDOT traffic engineers have taken several steps to keep traffic moving in the area. They include:
• Retimed signals in the area to keep traffic moving on alternate routes
• Extra communications staff to keep drivers up to date
• Portable message signs to keep drivers informed
• Drivers should plan extra time if they need to travel in the area during the next few days and use the WSDOT traffic page for updated traffic information. www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle/
SR 18 slide
The Washington State Patrol notified WSDOT of the first slide at 3:47 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 14. Because the slide area was nearly 50 feet above the road, maintenance crews closed the right lane and right shoulder of westbound SR 18 as a precaution at 4:30 a.m.
A larger slide occurred at 10:40 p.m. Thursday and brought down mud, rocks and debris across all westbound lanes. The slide pushed debris up against the jersey barrier separating the west- and eastbound lanes.

Hunnicutt, who took over for Jimmy Stevens during the third game last season, joins 29 others on the watch list for the award presented to the NCAA's most outstanding placekicking performer among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams.
He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 coaches' honors last year as a redshirt freshman after booting through a Big 12 freshman record 21 field goals, which just so happened to also tie an OU single-season record.
As part of that, the Richardson, Texas native became the first kicker in OU history to make four field goals in a pair of games in the same season, doing so against Kansas and Iowa State.
Hunnicutt scored 17 points in that contest against Kansas, tying the best single-game mark ever accumulated by an OU kicker, and he connected on a 53-yard field goal as the clock expired in the first half against Kansas State, the longest by any kicker in the Bob Stoops era.
He hit on all four of his field goal attempts from 40 yards or longer and finished 21-for-24 overall.
Hunnicutt is one of three Big 12 players mentioned on the 30-man Lou Groza Award Watch List, joining West Virginia's Tyler Bitancurt and Oklahoma State's Quinn Sharp.
Twenty semi-finalists for the honor will be announced on Nov. 5, with a panel of more than 500 experts narrowing the field to three finalists on Nov. 19.
The winner will be announced on Dec. 6 from the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show in Orlando, Fla.
The Lou Groza Award is named in honor of Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Lou Groza, who played 21 seasons for the Cleveland Browns and was named the NFL Player of the Year in 1954.

UPDATE: Police have taken the suspect into custody. Police said he is a suspect in a recent homicide investigation and that charges are pending.
Liverpool, N.Y. -- Syracuse police have surrounded a house in the village of Liverpool and are in the process of trying to establish contact with a suspect in the house.
"We do believe that we have a possibly armed suspect who's barricaded in one of the homes," Sgt. Tom Connellan said.
Detectives went to the house, which is in the area of South Roosevelt Avenue, around 5 p.m. Wednesday as part of an ongoing felony investigation. Connellan declined to discuss the specifics of the case, but said Syracuse police were working with the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
Connellan said the situation was contained to one house and that streets were closed off in the area as a precaution. Route 370 remains closed in both directions between Parker and Lincoln avenues.
Police conducted a reverse 911 phone call to residents in the area advising them to stay inside and stay away from windows.

I would be game also. I had wanted to incorporate a 3-day per month. And I also wanted to do a 7-10 day each season. And I havent done anything long term for a number of months, so I am due
Hey, Sabine. I might be up for this. I am eating through all the remaining stuff in my pantry and seeing how long I can NOT go to the grocery store in anticipation of moving some time early next year. (Downsizing from a huge house to an apartment). By Jan 1 there will be very little left around to be tempting. I'm not putting my house on the market until Feb 1 so January will be a bit of a "limbo" month for me. May as well get something productive done.
How many days were you thinking of going for?

Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
On this topic of fasting, is it recommended if you have been diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue? I'm concerned about added cortisol...
4.5 Days is my longest fast and it was ok. Only water and one cup of tea a day. Its amazing how cold you get.
Think i may go a 5day next week:-)
I'm planning on at least two, up to four.
We did four last time. I was thinking about maybe going for a longer one.
I'll cheer you on, but I'm thinking I'll start slow this time.
I'm reviving this thread, because I am starting a five-day fast. Anyone interested in chatting?
My fasting history has changed. For those who are interested in a brief recap: I stopped doing the monthly fasts(just enjoying eating too much, I guess! ) and then after getting hit with a digestive issue at the end of February 2013, I sort of fell into Alternate Day Fasting. It has worked very well for controlling my weight, but I still have the (as yet to be figured out) digestive issue. I have tried various things( FODMAPS, food eliminations, diaries, relaxation techniques,etc). The issue is a little better than when it began, but still bugging me.
The next thing I am trying, is a five-day fast, to give my digestive tract a complete rest while it grows a new lining(based on the intestinal lining renewing itself every three to five days).
That's just for an understanding of where I am coming from. I don't particularly want to talk about my issue, except in the sense of my motivation for doing the fast.
Yesterday was my first Fasting Day after Thanksgiving, in my normal ADF rotation, and I am now debating plunging ahead and making it the first of my five days, or maybe doing an ADF rotation or two before going for five days.
The longest I have done before was four days.
Yesterday was a little hard, I am assuming because I was coming off the high-carb delights of Thanksgiving. (I am usually low to moderate carb.) But I made it through.
So, enough about me! Anyone want to join in?
I plunged in. I am approaching the end of my third day. I'm a little hungry, but it is not bad. Doing ADF has really helped me be more detached from hunger as an emergency situation.
A friend was somewhat astonished that I didn't get headaches from not eating Being mostly low-carb/fat-adapted has helped with that, I think. No shakiness, either.
I am regretting that I can't(choose not to) eat the rest of the yummy Thanksgiving leftovers. The pie is standing neglected. And the ham, the beautiful ham!

Just Another Ubuntu-based Distro or Something More
Jeff Hoogland, professed Linux Geek, has grown frustrated at the lack of inclusion of his favorite window environment in modern distributions. He said only Austrumi and PCLinuxOS offer a recent release with E17. So, instead of waiting for someone else to do it, he just developed one with E17 Beta himself. But is this just another "ho hum" moment or should you give this new effort a shot?
Opposite to the way Linux Mint's developers add nice customizations to Ubuntu to make it more attractive to many users, Bodhi takes away. After the nice theme, one might notice how sparse the system is. As shipped, it has menu entries for LXTerminal, Firefox, and Synaptic. However, the desktop is the main point.
E17 is an interesting window environment. Before Compiz, before Kwin effects, before XGL Enlightenment offered some cool desktop effects to take away some of the desktop humdrums. These cute little effects are still present and operational with little hardware overhead. The theme chosen by Hoogland is rather attractive making Bodhi easy to like.

Big Blue Correction
May 13, 2008
The start times for the Big Blue Garage Sale listed in the Tuesday edition of the Times Observer were incorrect. Set-up for the event starts at 7 a.m. The sale begins at 9 a.m. — no early-bird sales. Also, event organizers ask that shoppers bring small bills (change is not readily available at the garage) and do not bring pets. Riding skateboards or bicycles is not permitted in the garage.

As if acting roles on the Fox hit series "Glee" and NBC's "The New Normal" weren't enough — NeNe Leakes can now add highest paid housewife to her credit.
The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star inked a $1 million deal — plus bonuses — for season 6 of the show, according to Radar Online.
The pay raise makes Leakes the highest paid housewife in any of the Bravo franchises.
"NeNe is the one viewers watch," the website said it was told by a source close to production. "She knows that, Bravo knows that and that's why they gave her a raise."
Leakes' pay hike is reportedly not sitting well with her cast mates. Some of the women feel Leakes' popularity is largely owed to her ongoing conflicts with them. Even so, all of the other women in the Atlanta franchise are reportedly returning for another go at their southern drama. Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss and Porsha Stewart all signed contracts ahead of Leakes.

The Bats
The Bats finally released a full-length album, the stunning Daddy's Highway, in 1987; soon after the group went on hiatus, with Scott participating in a Clean reunion tour and Woodward giving birth. The quartet came back together in 1990 to release The Law of Things, another critical favorite that received almost no commercial interest. Fear of God appeared in 1991, and two years later the Bats resurfaced with Silverbeet; an intermittent series of EPs (including Live at WFMU and Spill the Beans, the latter recorded with Superchunk frontman Mac McCaughan on guitar) followed as Scott again focused much of his energies on another Clean reunion, but in 1995 the group returned with a new LP, Couchmaster.
The Bats drifted apart soon after the release of Couchmaster. Scott spent time in the Magick Heads and working on solo projects, Woodward recorded with Roy Montgomery in Dissolve, and Kean and Grant formed Minisnap in the early 2000s. In 2003 the Bats began working on new songs at the National Grid studios in Christchurch and once they had the basic tracks down, moved to Woodward and Kean's home studio for overdubs and mixing. The result was 2005's At the National Grid, released on Magic Marker in the States and Flying Nun in New Zealand. The album didn't pick up where Silverbeet and Couchmaster left off, but instead returned to the glory days of Daddy's Highway and The Law of Things and was their best work to date. Another strong effort, The Guilty Office, saw release in the summer of 2009 and they followed it up two years later with Free All the Monsters.~ Jason Ankeny & Tim Sendra

The SoundPuddle is an interactive space of visual-acoustic synesthesia. This spectrographically colorful dome creates color and light from sound, illuminating every noise you make on an immersive canopy of light. You will laugh, shout, and sing as thousands of solar powered LEDs unify your ears and eyes.
Sound Synesthesia is the experience of "seeing" sound in shape and color. This mixing of the senses can open our perception of patterns and relationships in sounds. We can see the geometric and harmonic differences between voices and instruments. The SoundPuddle's light patterns are direct visualizations of the sound spectrum heard through its microphone, expanding your senses of reality. This is a space for exploring and playing with the science of sound.
This unique art piece was first created for the Apogaea Festival -- a collaborative outdoor arts and music event that is held in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Partial funding from an Apogaea art grant provided a starting point for developing what may be the world's only room-size immersive sound spectrum visualizer.
Its primary structure is 24 foot (7.25m) wide dome - large enough to fit a band and their gear, yet small enough for a single person to play and explore. The SoundPuddle will visit many more events over the next several years, and along the way its technology will be further developed and shared with the world through open source software.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
It surely is interesting to see how the Dutch bands, which had been so numerous within the Symphonic/Gothic genre a few years back, have evolved in such very different ways. While AFTER FOREVER had taken a dip into a bit more progressive and a little more electronic tinged waters, WITHIN TEMPTATION gave in to the full bombast and AUTUMN surrendered most of their heaviness for a quite basic and drier sound. Out of the four probably best known bands of this style, this leaves EPICA, who I've had an on-and-off relationship with, I love "The Phantom Agony", then the two following "Consign To Oblivion" and "The Score-An Epic Journey" completely passed me by unnoticed, so that I am having a hard time to put their fourth full-length "The Divine Conspiracy" into the right context, but one thing I can say is that I love it even more than their debut!
Now I am a sucker for the Symphonic Metal genre, especially if it has dynamics, different vocal styles, bombast, gripping melodies and all these things and the Dutch band fully embraces this, almost to the point, where I could see some people complain about them going over the top, but the sheer grandeur of what we get here makes me shove these naysayers aside, showing the sextet from Limburg at their best. "The Obsessive Devotion" showcases this in perfect manner, fast, dynamic, bombastic and symphonic, with mostly angelic voices and some accentuating harsh growls and choirs thrown in, before "Menace Of Vanity" steps things up even more and speeds things up even more.
The strength of EPICA, though, is to combine emotional passages, huge orchestration and heaviness into a cohesive whole that will not fall off either side, but manages to balance on the narrow ledge between kitsch and class, while staying true to their roots. Just take the juxtaposition of the first three songs, with "The Obsessive Devotion" standing for orchestration, "Menace Of Vanity" for heaviness and "Chasing The Dragon" for emotions (it is a truly wonderful ballad until after three and a half minutes we get a few light growls and some more orchestration, before towards the end we get some ferocious blastbeat passages followed by a quiet, orchestral break, so technically this song combines all three cornerstones of EPICA), and you have an idea what to expect. And that's not all, because of course we get the continuation of the "The Embrace That Smothers" saga, "The Divine Conspiracy" contains the part 7 through 9 and man, does especially "Death Of A Dream" smoke and Simone's vocal performance on "Fools Of Damnation" is just outstanding, and don't even get me started on the almost 14-minute title track at the end!
The only downfall of some songs are the blastbeat sections, which are clearly Black Metal influenced and while probably used to loosen things up and maybe even serve a purpose, the disrupt the flow of the songs, which are so meticulously built up and arranged, so often based on harmony and flowing structure, but that is the only real complaint, as the production gives the compositions the full volume and clarity, as it deserves.
When it comes to this kind of Symphonic Metal (which is a very broad genre anyways, as you can dump VIRGIN BLACK, THERION, EPICA and NIGHTWISH into the same category here), "The Divine Conspiracy" probably is as good as it comes in 2007!

A Philadelphia man who was banned from Northampton Community College last year was arrested today for trespassing on the campus.
Joseph Amir Herbert, 19, fled the school's grounds in Bethlehem Township, Pa., about 12:31 this afternoon after security officers began chasing him, court papers say. He escaped the campus but dropped a wallet containing his ID, court records state.
He was later arrested and arraigned before District Judge Joseph Barner. He is charged with criminal trespass and was being held in lieu of $1,500 bail.
Herbert was banned from the school Dec. 20. He was removed from the property several weeks ago and again Jan. 10.
Court records did not state why he was banned.

The restaurant technology and restaurant + social media savvy folks over at Smarter Restaurant have worked with start-up operators and restaurant chain CEO's to create a check list for restaurant readiness. We asked them to focus more on customer experience management, social media and SEO strategies, tactics and tools, rather than reminding you about applying for a business license, ordered a telephone and remind you to call the city to schedule a health inspection. That's basic stuff you already know.
Opening a new restaurant or looking for more customers?
#1 To Do: List you business across the web.
Just click here to see if you are listed
We live in a new world where search and real-time content can define success. Restaurants MUST BE DISCOVERED AND SEARCH IS IT!
What is Yext Powerlistings and why do I need it for my restaurant? Ask yourself these three simple restaurant marketing readiness questions:
1. Is search important to being discovered on the Internet at home on a computer or on the go with mobile devices like an iPhone?
2. How will a potential customer find my restaurant if my restaurant is still listed as the old restaurant that was here before?
3. If I fix Yellow pages how can I make sure all the other search engines and review sites, blogs and other search and listing directories including Yelp, Yahoo!, Citysearch, MapQuest, Superpages, Yellowbook, WhitePages, Local.com, Foursquare, Emerging Package have not only my new business listed correctly, but my hours posted correctly?

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. --
2:04-0:00 -- That's all she wrote. Michigan's most dominating road showing since 2006. Final: 44-13.
6:02-2:04 -- After Purdue turns the ball over on downs, Michigan puts in Russell Bellomy and Thomas Rawls -- and Rawls picks up a bruising 19 yards before rumbling in from seven yards out. This one is more than over. Michigan 44, Purdue 13
10:14-6:02 -- Robinson has the record. He passes Antwaan Randle El to set the Big Ten's rushing yards by a quarterback mark, and Michigan adds another field goal. This one's over. Michigan 37, Purdue 13
12:46-10:14 -- Denard Robinson is now just six yards away from becoming the Big Ten's most prolific quarterback rusher. His 60-yard sprint up the middle sets up another Brendan Gibbons field goal, and the Wolverines are close to wrapping this one up. Michigan 34, Purdue 14
3:01-12:46 -- Robert Marve comes in the game and moves Purdue down the field, but can't find the end zone. Jake Ryan with a big play on third and long. For some reason, Purdue figured it'd kick another field goal. Michigan still in complete control here -- Michigan 31, Purdue 13
Fourth Quarter
5:34-3:01 -- Michigan chews some more clock, gets a bit of field position back but nothing more. Devin Gardner drops a first down on third and long. But Will Hagerup punts a ball to the moon -- into the wind. Purdue gets it back on its own 23.
6:37-5:34 -- Purdue is going nowhere fast on offense, and the Wolverines are playing their best football of the season defensively. The Boilers are 1-for-8 on third down and have gained just 130 yards. Another punt, Michigan ball on its own 11.
10:52-6:37 -- Denard Robinson breaks a 46-yard run down the middle of the field, but Michigan can't finish the drive with a touchdown. Brendan Gibbons connects from 29 yards out, and the Wolverines regain their three-touchdown lead. Michigan 31, Purdue 10
12:53-10:52 -- Purdue gets a first down, but nothing more. Boilermakers really struggling to move the football against Michigan -- Courtney Avery with a great tackle on third down to force another punt. Michigan gets it back on its own 28.
15:00-12:53 -- Michigan moves the ball out near midfield, but two straight incompletions from Denard Robinson lead to Michigan's first punt of the day. Huge drive for Purdue coming up, Boilers get it at their own 21.
Third Quarter
1:40-:10 -- Purdue cashes in on Robinson's fumbled exchange -- TerBush hits O.J. Ross for a four-yard touchdown, and the Boilers have life just before the half. Michigan will receive to start the second, though. Michigan 28, Purdue 10
1:45-1:40 -- First play, Denard Robinson and Vincent Smith collide for a fumble, Purdue gets it back -- first miscue of the game for Michigan, Purdue with a chance to steal some points. Boilers have it at the UM 36.
3:14-1:45 -- Purdue just falling apart. Fans here in West Lafayette chanting "We want Marve."
7:01-3:14 -- Michigan continues to cram the ball down Purdue's throat -- Denard Robinson hits a streaking Devin Gardner over the middle for a 23-yard touchdown. A 74-yard drive. Michigan out-gaining Purdue 204-78. Michigan 28, Purdue 3
11:07-7:01 -- Purdue gets the benefit of a reviewed catch and a nice run and throw from Caleb TerBush to finally get on the board. But it's only a field goal. Paul Griggs nails a 40-yarder, and the Boilers have arrived. Michigan 21, Purdue 3
12:38-11:07 -- Michigan gets nothing from the turnover. Gibbons tries a 44-yarder into the wind, it doinks off the bottom crossbar. Not a good kick. Purdue dodges a bullet.
12:43-12:38 -- Even MORE disaster for Purdue. Delonte Hollowell recovers a fumbled kickoff, Michigan back in business on the Purdue 26.
14:28-12:43 -- More disaster for Purdue, more fun for Michigan. Raymon Taylor picks off a tipped Caleb TerBush pass and brings it back 63 yards for a Wolverine touchdown. Michigan all over Purdue early. Michigan 21, Purdue 0
3:23-14:28 -- Michigan stays right at it on the ground, but Denard Robinson's 14-yard pass on third and 10 in the red zone to Devin Funchess sets up a one-yard touchdown run from Fitz Toussaint. Michigan in control early. Robinson with 63 rushing yards. Michigan 14, Purdue 0
Second Quarter
4:40-3:23 -- Jake Ryan blasts Caleb TerBush for an 11-yard sack on first down, and J.T. Floyd nearly picks TerBush on third and long -- Wolverine defense looking as locked in as its been this season (at least early anyway). Wolverines force another 3 and out, get it back on their own 37.
13:28-4:40 -- Michigan talked this week about controlling the clock with its run game -- and the Wolverines do just that early. Michigan converts a fourth down, and marches 78 yards in 17 plays, chewing up a whopping 8:48 off the clock. Fitz Toussaint scores from one yard out. Michigan 7, Purdue 0
15:00-13:28 -- The Michigan defense gets the job done on its first series of the afternoon, Kenny Demens comes up big on third and short and forces a Purdue punt. Wolverines get it back on their own 22.
First Quarter
• Michigan wins the toss, and defers to the second half -- virtually no one here at Purdue today, apparently it's fall break. Very, very small crowd. Lots of Michigan fans all over the place in here, too.
• Both Robert Marve and Ralph Bolden are on the field warming up for Purdue. Not sure how much they'll play, or how available they are, but they're both here -- both look ready to go.
• A couple of pregame notes: Stephen Hopkins, Richard Ash and Brandon Moore are not on the dress list here today. All three players have had issue with injury so far this season. Devin Gardner is here, as is Brennen Beyer.
Michigan's quest for a Big Ten championship begins today at Purdue.
Denard Robinson will look to rebound from his four-interception nightmare at Notre Dame and the Wolverines hope to get off to a 1-0 start this afternoon (4 p.m., BTN) when they visit the 3-1 Boilermakers.
Will Michigan's defense continue to build off a strong second half in South Bend, will the Wolverines be rested or rusty coming off a bye? Is Purdue for real?
Join the conversation, as we'll find out answers to everything shortly.

Growing Pains Tracey Gold Tweets About TV Sibling Kirk Cameron's Anti-Gay Agenda
At least one member of the Growing Pains cast let it be known she doesn't agree with Kirk Cameron's claim that homosexuality is "unnatural," "detrimental" and "ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
On Twitter, Gold posted "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE" and changed her profile picture to a shot of her participating in the "NO H8" campaign.
On his Twitter page, Alan Thicke—a.k.a. flaky shrink Jason Seaver—said "I'll deal with Kirk's comments as soon as I recover from Rush Limbaugh's."
And though he never appeared on Growing Pains, actor Josh Charles tweeted "I know Growing Pains was only a tv show, but I have to think both Alan Thicke & Joanna Kerns must feel they failed as parents tonight."
No word yet from Pains' resident Cousin Oliver, Leonardo DiCaprio.

well i know that Leonardo DiCaprio did play gay once in Eclipse and now in the movie Hover
Good to see some of his costars express their disapproval of his views.
Not much of a surprise, since the story goes that he alienated the rest of the cast long ago with his overbearing born-again nonsense. Glad they took the time to say as much, though.
It's sad and annoying when good people get snapped up by evil cultist behavior, thinking they are doing "gods" work. Jesus is so misrepresented in the Bible it's nauseating. He would have nothing to do with that evil monkey-god, and he would snapped Kirk out of his hysteria with one glance.
Didn't the actor who played the youngest son on the show turn out to be gay? Or am I thinking of Angela's son from Who's the Boss?
@wc1: Yup, that is what you're thinking of.
@wc1: I think you're thinking of Danny Pintauro, yes.
Chrissy was Cousin Oliver long before Leo arrived!
Is Cameron the guy who did Xtian TV show called Bibleman?
The lady doth protest too much.
Jack Jeff, this is from, Wikipedia, Bibleman is an American video series with an evangelical superhero character (originally played by Willie Aames then followed by Robert T. Schlipp from 2003 – 2011).
Doogie's tweet was the best.
What I don't get is why anyone cares what this has been dickfart has to say. He hasn't been relevant for years. It was perfectly obvious what the answer would be when asked the question. All this talk about him just gives him a bigger platform to espouse his wrongheaded views. He has the right to his opinion and we have the right to ignore him like the world has since the 80's and let him fade back into his obscure douchey little life.
Kirk Cameron also starred in the "Left Behind" movie and I'm pretty sure he produced it or financed it. I have never seen it but my friend's mom had it on DVD.
Rome was a successful pagan monarchy, republic and empire for about 1800 years. Then it became officially Christian, and Western Civilization promptly collapsed into the Dark Ages within about 80 years. Christianity's other contributions to the destruction of civilization's foundations has been to provide rationalizations for genocide, slavery, punitive rape, misogyny, racism, confessions by torture, witch-burnings, book-extermination, etc.
In short, it's conceivable that "but-for" Christianity, we might be 900 years more advanced.
But "teh gheys aim to destroy mah cilivizationz!" probably seems perfectly rational to a narcissist who dedicated his formative years to playing "let's pretend" rather than, y'know…school.
Cameron's derptastic comprehension of evolutionary biology is even weaker than his poor grasp of history; nonetheless, want of credentials or education is itself a point of pride and achievement amongst the committed ignoranti.
In short, Kirk Cameron genuinely is the moron's moron.
I never liked him or his show before I found out what a douchebreeder he is. I'm surprised he wasn't constantly telling Tracey Gold she was going to Hell for being Jewish. Considering the fact that Heaven and Hell are Christian concepts Jews reject, though…
@the crustybastard: Preach it, Brother Crusty! We gays are not destroying civilization, we are SAVING it from the evils of Christianity.
@wc1: Actually, I don't know of any actor on this show being gay (and now I hope someone is), but I think they did get Dusty Springfield, who was bi, to sing the theme. What did she do to deserve this?
Really…dosen't Kirk have more brains than to even asnswer the question Morgan asked. he could have just said that he didin't see relivency in the topic as it is a personal belief that he does not believes he has to share with the public, that it is between him and his GOD.

College coaches hopping jobs is a fact of life. It happens every year. The mercurial part is the reaction. It is, most often, treated as a matter-of-fact part of the business.
Sometimes there's a backlash. Sometimes the backlash feels right. Sometimes it doesn't. It's pretty subjective.
When Lane Kiffin bolted Tennessee football after a year, leaving in the middle of the night after blowing in like a hurricane a year earlier, that felt pretty sleazy.
But the heat Steve Alford is getting for taking the UCLA job after six years at New Mexico, I'm not so sure.
Yes, Alford left while in the middle of an existing contract. That's what happens. If it didn't, no college coach would switch jobs ever. Not every coach gets hammered for doing so. Alford's sin was agreeing to a contract extension with New Mexico 10 days ago, one that would take him through the 2023 season.
I'm not sure what Alford was supposed to say no to. The contract extension, offered before the UCLA job was even open? Or UCLA job itself, one of the historic peaches of college basketball?
Starting Monday, it's officially baseball season in New York. And a potentially compelling one at that.
While the Yanks may not have the bottom-falling-out kind of season that's become a popular prediction, there are too many injuries and too much age on the roster for them to be the monotonous playoff sure thing they have been. They're in a division with four other teams that have real possibilities and real flaws as well. It should be a tight, long, crowded race.
The Mets are all about wishful thinking, but sometimes that works out. For two years in a row they've managed mediocrity for half a season before falling off. If they can do that again, and get a midseason boost with the callup of prospects like pitcher Zack Wheeler and catcher Travis d'Arnaud, maybe they'll be worth watching in August.
How do you judge a conference's success in the NCAA Tournament?
A week ago the Big East was getting hammered after five of its eight entrants lost their opening games, even though only one of the teams that lost was seeded higher than No. 7.
But the team that second-seeded Georgetown lost to, Florida Golf Coast, turned out to be pretty good, and the darling of the tournament to boot. And the three Big East teams that survived their first games all ended up in regional finals.
If Louisville beats Duke Sunday, the soon-to-be-splintered Big East will have two teams in the Final Four. That's not a bad showing — or a bad farewell — at all.
So now the other teams are paying huge chunks of salary for players they're dumping on the Yankees? Baseball's financial world order truly is upside down.
For those Mets fans itching for the team to start tossing cash around next winter, may I offer the following testimonial:
Jason Bay. Francisco Rodriguez. Carlos Beltran. Johan Santana.
Some of those guys did have a few good moments in a Mets uniform. In the cases of Santana and Beltran, it was injuries that sunk the investment more than anything. But that will always be part of the risk when you're dealing out long-term contracts.
Here's an interesting sidebar to the legendary 33-game win streak of the 1971-72 Lakers, which withstood one of the closest challenges it's ever going to get when the Miami Heat hit the wall last week after 27 straight.
Jerry West was 33 years old that season. Wilt Chamberlain was 35. Chamberlain would play just one more year in the league, West would play two. A third Hall of Famer, Elgin Baylor, famously retired early in the season just before the streak began. This was the back end of their careers. West averaged 25.8 points that year, but he also had 10 seasons where he scored more.
There were more pieces to the team. Gail Goodrich averaged 25.9. But he was in his sixth year too, 28 years old, the same as LeBron James and Chris Bosh right now. This was a team whose top players had been together for awhile.
So why was it that year that they won 33 straight, won a record of 69 games that held for 25 years and finally got West his long-awaited first NBA title?
Always thought that was curious.

Assemblyman Goldfeder Authors Bill To Raise the Gambling Age to 21
Goldfeder and Senator Addabbo push change in gambling age
May 21, 2012
Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Rockaway) announced that he authored a bill in the Assembly to change the gambling age in New York State from 18 to 21 (A.10229). The legislation is in response to a possible constitutional amendment to allow enhanced gaming in casinos across the state. Senator Joseph P. Addabbo has introduced the bill in the Senate. "Casinos have a lot to offer our community," Assemblyman Goldfeder said. "As we've seen at Resorts World at Aqueduct Racetrack, gambling establishments can be strong economic machines for our local economy, boosting tourism and putting our struggling families back to work. However, we need to be aware of the problems that can potentially arise." The organization Youth Gambling International found that compared to adults, young people are two-to-three times more likely to develop a gambling problem.i According to the National Institutes of Health, gambling activity during adolescence and young adulthood is related to a higher likelihood of problems with gambling later in life. This legislation aims to avoid these risks before they happen, Assemblyman Goldfeder noted. "This bill would mitigate the potential negative effects gambling can have on our youth and decrease exposure to alcohol for those younger than 21," Assemblyman Goldfeder said. "Making casinos 21 and older just makes sense." Raising the gambling age would align New York with its neighboring states, New Jersey and Connecticut, both of which have longstanding, successful casinos. It would also link the gambling age to the state's drinking age, Assemblyman Goldfeder noted. "Many major gambling cities – like Las Vegas and Atlantic City – as well as our neighbors in Connecticut require that you be are 21 to gamble," Assemblyman Goldfeder said. "My legislation would help curb the scourge of youth gambling addiction." Goldfeder also noted that his proposed legislation would be considered an amendment to the constitution would have to pass both houses of the legislature this year and again in 2013, and then would have to be placed on a statewide referendum ballot.

I really love trying out beauty products. What can I say? I always liked to play dress up as a little girl, too. Lately, I've been on the hunt to find some of the best, most effective, healthiest, eco – and animal – friendly products available. Needless to say, it's been a fun project. I'll continue to share the goodies I find here on this blog, and you'll see some of my favorites featured in the Green Mommy Blog Boutique (be sure to check back often as I'll continue to add the good finds there!)
So, I've been trying some new things, and I was sent a generous package of beauty care products from Sprout Wellness (after having learned about them from One Lucky Duck). It's a sweet little company with an owner / formulator whom I adore. She's humble, fun, knowledgeable, and mega sweet. Be sure to read my detailed Kristen's Raw blog post where I share my opinion about a number of other beauty care companies (my likes and dislikes) here.
As I was saying, Sprout Wellness is a neat company. Here's a little information about Sprout Wellness that I grabbed from their website…
Sprout is a really little company created by a personal trainer and holistic health counselor who, more importantly, is allergic to everything on the planet. Literally. No, not literally. But a lot of people are really sensitive to all of the chemicals going into skincare these days, even in things marketed as "all-natural". And that's why Sprout is here. We care about your skin, your health, and the environment.
Ingredients- Ever watched a really really old movie? (If you haven't, please stop reading this and update your Netflix.) Yes they're in black and white, but seriously the skin on those ladies. I mean wow. Guess what they were using back then? Mostly things from their kitchens- baking soda, apple cider vinegar, salt, honey… and bad skin didn't even exist back then. We swear. So we figure it's the best idea to go back to those ingredients. Agreed?
Jars- If you haven't heard about plastics yet, maybe you'll like the glass because you can almost see your reflection in it. And you can send them back to us for discounted refills! Or use them for junk you should really just throw out.
Labels- We make (and apply) them ourselves. Not the paper, just the printing and the sticking.
Process- Ever wonder how a million ingredients got put together in your one jar of cream? Well, it's a long story, but it definitely involved cooking the shit out of them. And not in a cute little pot over the stove. It was in some big factory. In huge ugly basins. We use cute little pots, mostly for just mixing, not crazy boiling or chemical-creating. That way it's all STILL natural by the time it gets to you.
Things we take very seriously:
-Being environmentally friendly
-Using organic and fair trade products
-Not ripping people off
-Educating ourselves and others
-Being nice
What did I think of the products?
For starters, I love the packaging. It's just so darn cute – kind of like little bottles an alchemist would have on her counter. I smile every time I saw the little glass bottles and jars on my bathroom counter.
The Face Cleanser – This smells great and has the following ingredients: rosewater, vegetable glycerin, and tea tree oil. Simple and impressive. The directions state that it requires the use of a cotton ball to apply it. I use organic cotton balls which aren't very cheap, so by the time I use 1 for the cleanser and 1 for the toner (detailed below), I've used 2 and that means I'm going through my bag of cotton balls faster than I want to (keeping in mind that after I've done that twice a day, I've used 4 cotton balls). That being said, there is something satisfying about seeing the makeup on the cotton ball when I'm trying to get it off. That's not something you get to experience when you just use your hands to cleanse. Oh! What is a girl to do?
—>>Well, I know what to do now. I told the formulator about my organic cotton ball predicament and she had a brilliant solution that I can't believe I didn't think of myself! Use a bamboo face cloth (which I have!). So, now that I have a less expensive solution (and more eco-friendly), I need to try that.
The Face Toner - This product has a little "bite" to it and a fairly strong scent (from the apple cider vinegar), but through recent communications with the owner I've learned that she might be changing the formula a bit to soften those aspects of it (mind you, I'm not complaining about it. I don't mind the zestiness). The ingredients are: raw organic apple cider vinegar, organic witch hazel, filtered water, sandalwood and clary sage essential oils. In addition to using it as a toner, I also used it in place of the water needed to mix up a pineapple enzyme mask from another company. Not sure if it was smart to do that, but it was fun. Like I wrote, the little bottles make me want to be an alchemist.
All-Over Cream - This product is rich, emollient, and I really enjoyed using this on my pregnant belly, legs, butt, hands, and basically "all-over" as the name suggests. The texture is wonderful. The smell is mild and natural. It has a beautifully simple ingredient list: shea butter, organic extra-virgin coconut oil, and organic extra-virgin olive oil.
I found it best to use this on a damp body, and the few times I used it on my face, I first spritzed my face with rose water to help spread the cream and assist its absorption. I also like using it to wipe away any last bits of eye makeup that seep onto the skin around my eyes in the morning, because I didn't get it all off the night before with coconut oil (however, if doing this, I recommend making sure the cream is thoroughly absorbed before applying eye makeup or I presume your makeup will reduce its staying power throughout the day. Because of that, the times I use it on my eyes are days I'm staying home or not wearing eye makeup). Another nice thing about the All-Over Cream is that a little goes a long way. Oh, and it also has a natural SPF of 6. Nice! I really enjoyed this product, and I always want a jar of it in my bathroom. If my skin could talk, I think it would say, "Om-nom-nom."
Lip Balm - I'm grateful they make a vegan version of their lip balm (no beeswax – yippee!). As a vegan, this is really cool. The lip balm is nice, and I keep it on my desk for frequent usage. I'm curious, however, as to how it will hold up in warmer weather since it gets a little soft during application (probably from the heat of my lips). It's very creamy, much like the All-Over Cream.
Sugar Body Scrub – One of my other favorite products by Sprout Wellness is their Sugar Body Scrub. It smells heavenly, and let me tell you, I love a nice scrub down. Living in a dry climate like Arizona, it's important that I slough off the dry skin to keep my skin nice and glowing.
Thank you Sprout Wellness for sending me these lovely products to sample!

BRIDGETON — The Cumberland County Utilities Authority (CCUA) seeks to raise the water and sewer rate to Bridgeton by five percent, an increase Mayor Albert Kelly said would aggravate already burdensome costs to residents.
If enacted, the rate hike would take effect Jan. 1. The CCUA bills the city directly for its services.
Kelly said during Tuesday evening's city council meeting that he'll approach the CCUA at its meeting Thursday afternoon and ask members to table the matter until after discussions with him and possibly with city council members.
"With Bridgeton being the largest customer of the CCUA, I think it would be proper for them to meet with us," Kelly said on Wednesday.
"Let's look at what we can do to possibly lower the amount of increase or eliminate it."
"Our citizens are under the gun enough as far as taxes and cost increases," the mayor added.
He said he'd recently received a letter from the CCUA announcing the intended increase but not giving a reason for it.
CCUA director Ted Propert said he and his team would be willing to discuss options.
"We're always willing to work with our customers," Propert insisted. "And this city is our major customer; Bridgeton has the most flow (of all the communities)."
He said the rationale behind the increase is complicated.
"There are a number of reasons, and to point out any particular reasons is really hard," Propert explained.
He cited labor costs and health insurance increases for contractors as a few examples.
"They're the normal things that everyone else is going through right now," he said. "It's not an increase that we're taking lightly."
Propert said the billing rates for various water and sewer usage and flow is also very complicated, but that the total bill to Bridgeton for 2010 came to $4,532,309.

The Associated Press announces on January 12th that it had reached a settlement in ts copyright lawsuit against Shepard Fairey, the New York-based street artist who created the iconic "HOPE" image of Barack Obama. In a statement regarding the settlement, the AP said that "neither side surrenders its view of the law," and that the two sides have agreed "to work together going forward with the Hope image and share the rights to make the posters and merchandise bearing the Hope image." The monetary terms of the settlement were not described in the statement. According to Christopher Barnett, an attorney at Scott & Scott, LLP: "The interesting legal questions involved in this lawsuit - including the extent to which news photography deserves copyright protection and the related boundaries of 'fair use' - remain undecided. However, a March trial date in this case remains in place for the purpose of deciding related claims against companies that sold merchandise bearing the 'HOPE' image, so this litigation may yet spawn important precedent." For more information, please contact Mr. Barnett at 800-596-6176, or at email@example.com.

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Detroit Red Wings expect to skate much better tonight when they get another shot at the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center (7:30, Fox Sports Detroit).
The Panthers outskated the Red Wings by a wide margin Saturday, outshooting those 37-23 in a 2-1 victory at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings had played the night before in New Jersey, while Florida was rested. This time, the Red Wings come into the game after two days off.
"We have to be way better than we were the last game: we didn't skate good, didn't have a lot of energy," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "They skated better, they were quicker, they stretched us out."
Babcock said his team had spacing problems in the last game.
"What I mean by that is when your forwards are a long way away from your (defensemen) there's huge gaps and it's easy to come through you," Babcock said.
Pavel Datsyuk returns to the lineup after missing seven games with a concussion. Jimmy Howard returns to the net after backing up Jonas Gustavsson for two games. And Stephen Weiss returns to Florida, where he spent the first 11 seasons of his NHL career.
"The bottom line is Pavel gives us lots of confidence, he's a real good player, but the rest of us got to play better than we did," Babcock said.
Babcock said Gustavsson has a bit of a hip flexor, but it's nothing that would have prevented him from playing.
"Howie gets an opportunity,'' Babcock said. "Every time you get an opportunity , you have a chance to show what you can do. Basically, both guys would like to grab the net and have the net and keep the net."
Howard (6-8-6, 2.70 goals-against average, .909 save percentage) is mired in the worst slump of his career. Babcock continues to give him a vote of confidence.
"We believe Howie is one of the best goalies in the world," Babcock said. "Maybe it's got to be Gus to get us through so Howie can get his game going, but we think Howie is one of the best goalies in the world but he's got to play like that."
Howard dismissed any speculation that competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team is weighing on his mind. He said he's not thinking about the Olympics, that it's not a distraction.
"First and foremost it's just getting back to having fun out there," Howard said. "There was a moment in November where I might have taken a little too much on my plate, a little too much pressure."
Babcock said Weiss, too, is putting too much pressure on himself. He has just four points (two goals, two assists) in 25 games.
"The big part is how you handle that," Babcock said. "He's come to a new spot, it hasn't gone as he'd like. So how do you get your confidence back? To me, you just get to work and be mentally tough. You talk to people and get people to help you.
"I think the first thing to overcome in anything is when you admit to yourself it isn't going good, and he's done all those things. So we just feel he's going to start playing better and better."
Weiss said he needs play loose and not over-think on the ice.
"It's getting to that time where I got to stop worrying about systems and where you're supposed to be on the ice and get out there and play," Weiss said.
"It's a different style, system we play here, there's a lot of responsibility on the centerman. Sometimes you can get stuck in the mud out there trying to be too positional. I think that's been the case sometimes. The goal moving forward is to scratch that mindset and just go out and play. If you mess up, you mess up.''
Here re tonight's lines and defense pairs for the Red Wings:
Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Todd Bertuzzi

On January 8th 2013, a team of heart specialists at the DMC's Cardiovascular Institute did something that has only been performed at three institutions in the United States.
They successfully conducted the Midwest's first-ever "robotic-assisted" coronary revascularization to relieve heart artery blockages. DMC heart care patients now have access to the world's most advanced treatment method for relieving blockages in heart arteries.
The Cardiac Catheterization Lab at DMC features The CorPath® 200 System, the latest technology created by Corindus Vascular Robotics. The system allows a cardiologist to sit at a control panel, operate a robotic arm to guide the catheter tube to the blockage in an artery, and remotely deploy a stent or balloon to restore blood flow — all from behind a specially designed cockpit.
CVI President Theodore L. Schreiber, M.D., a nationally recognized pioneer in using advanced catheterization techniques to treat heart ailments without having to resort to chest-cracking surgery, said that the first patient to undergo the new procedure was an 84-year-old grandmother of three from Roseville named June Frank.
When we went to speak to her she was already sitting up, eager to share her story and her admiration for Dr. Schreiber.
"He doesn't sit with his hand on the door. You can go in and ask him a hundred questions," said patient June Frank – who paid homage not only to Dr. Schreiber's expertise, but to the strong relationships he builds with his patients.
"When you walk into his office I always plan out three hours to talk to him. If I have a 4 o'clock appointment I tell my sons 'I'm not coming home until seven,' because you know he's talking to every patient that comes in there and he's taking care and spending time with each patient, answering their questions and doing exactly what has to be done."
