Jimmy Kimmel Discovers New Year's Resolutions People Already Broke Four Days Into 2016
Even Jimmy Kimmel doesn't keep his New Year's resolutions.
"I resolved to get back on my treadmill -- I have a treadmill desk in my office which I never use anymore," he said on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. That morning, "I stood on there without moving for maybe four seconds, and then I got off and made coffee, and that was that."
Earlier that day, the show stepped out to poll Hollywood passersby about the 2016 resolutions they've already broken. Among them: a guy holding a cigarette who vowed to stop smoking, another who tried to "stop being an asshole" but then left his girlfriend in Vegas to gamble for "a few days," a woman who wanted to eat more kale but stopped when she almost gagged, and a man who hoped to eat healthier but had Krispy Kreme doughnuts for lunch. "It's really not a good start," that man said.

I am on a search for understanding. Posts will vary based on whatever is running through my mind on any given day. I am a passionate Progressive who genuinely loves and cares for those who suffer. I believe we could all Try a Little Tenderness (thanks, Otis). But when I come across people who have no compassion, I lose mine for them. Warning: There will be language to offend some. There will be diatribes against others. I can only be honest in my writing, or what's the point? Kisses all around.

Little Girl Found
I was a pretty girl in high school. I had no idea, of course. I was lucky to not have a battle with acne. I had really healthy hair (nevermind its height, we didn't have a choice back then). I was a Brill, so I had a wonderful wardrobe. I was most often seen in jeans and a concert t-shirt, though. I was a normal teenager, I guess. I struggled with thoughts that I was fat. I would lament that I couldn't share clothes with my friends. Any logic that said everyone has a different body type and can't be the same size was lost on me. They were smaller than I was. So I was fat.
Rolling into my mid-30s, I lived a pretty ignorant existence where my weight was concerned. My doctor had tried ad nauseam to convince me that I was too heavy, but I told her that I was quite aware of that fact. Every time I went to see her I would face backward on the scale when the nurse weighed me. I made it clear that I didn't want to know. Very few people were allowed to take a picture of me. I had no mirrors that would show my lower half.
In 2007, my graduating class had our 16th class reunion (long story). Our name tags were actually a pretty cute idea. We each got a sticker with our senior pictures on it. I had gone to Kohl's to find something to wear and ended up settling on a pair of capris and a t-shirt. I knew I looked bad. I was too stubborn not to show my face, besides, I had been one of the organizers so I couldn't back out. And I had to wear that fucking sticker. It was hard to look at her, that young, beautiful woman on my chest. It was even harder to have a curious face finally realize who I was after seeing her. It was kind of a timid, graceful horror. No one wanted to hurt my feelings, but REALLY? I imagine there were many discussions at the bar that night after I left.
One of my girlfriends emailed me pictures of the reunion the following week. It was absolutely shocking. That wasn't me. I wasn't that fat. I stared at it for what felt like hours. I would close it out on my work computer but kept pulling it back up. I didn't really look like that, did I? That was my revelation. Those pictures were what motivated me to finally get something done about it.
I researched all of the diets and surgery options. I knew that I would never succeed at a diet because it seemed impossible. I had too much weight to lose. I found stories where it had been done, but they were few. I found hope in the surgery options. I really focused on the gastric bypass because it removed the part of your stomach that processes sugar. I knew that sugar was my biggest downfall. It took a long time to realize it but when I quit smoking I replaced my post meal cigarette with chocolate. Eggs, bacon, toast and Reese Cups? Absolutely! And I had a 20 oz of Coke at my side 24/7. I never drank anything else.
I went to my doctor because I had decided to do the gastric bypass. Of course, the first step was to actually figure out my weight. My license said 235, which was a guess, but it couldn't be too far off. 235 was really fat. And I was really fat. Imagine my shock at learning I was actually 300 pounds. I always round up to 300, the honest truth is my brain has screwed up two numbers and I have since forgotten which number it was: either 294 or 297. So, dear reader, please just accept 300 as my truth. I have. I pleaded to my doctor to send me to the initial meeting with the surgeon as my insurance required that she start the ball rolling. She said she didn't think it was a very good idea. I don't know why, maybe because she was talking to a woman who refused to even know what she weighed or maybe she didn't feel comfortable with the surgery as it was still a newer procedure. I loved my doctor with my whole heart. She knew it. But I told her if she wasn't going to submit me for approval then I would go find another doctor. She finally relented and referred me to my initial meeting with the surgeon.
I wanted to go to a hospital in Michigan because my friend had gone there and they exclusively did these surgeries. I figured they would be experts. But they were assholes. They talked down to me. The nurse was rude and their psychologist was a moron. You have to see a psychologist to get approved by your insurance. This lady heard that I had been misdiagnosed as bipolar many years prior and decided I was mentally unhealthy. I was referred to one of their long term treatments before seeking approval for the surgery. I decided they were not the place for me.
I looked around and found that Ohio State had a reputable program. I went to the orientation and really liked their speakers and their staff who spoke. They were open for questions afterward and genuinely seemed to respect their clients. I left there that evening so glad that I had not decided to stay with the group in Michigan. I had my referral sent there and began the process to getting approved by insurance. I had to see a psychologist. We did a long test and then discussions and she determined I was a good candidate. I had to go to nutrition classes. I had to go to a sleep doctor. For approval, I was required to have a co-morbidity diagnosis. This meant I had to have something that could kill me like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I was surprisingly healthy for being so incredibly obese. I did have sleep problems, though. So I took the sleep test and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Yay. I had something that could kill me!
The entire process from beginning my search to getting the surgery took a year. I learned a lot in that year. I not only learned about the different diet and surgery options, but I learned about myself. On February 9th of that year (2008) I decided that if I was going to have to give up sugar for the rest of my life I would want to see if I could even do it for a minute. So I gave up sugar that day. I had had an accidental slip in June when I went to McDonalds for a Diet Coke. I told Audrey, "Ewww... their machine is off. This pop is foul." She tasted it and replied, "No, mom. This is regular Coke." My taste buds had decided that my beloved Coca-Cola was now foul. Awesome.
I got a call in mid-August from the nurse at the OSU Bariatric center to tell me that they had received approval from my insurance and that I could schedule. I took the next date they had available. Duh. I knew I would never be able to have sugar again so I went to Graeter's. I hit the drive thru and got a mint chocolate chip ice cream hot fudge sundae. Medium. I would've normally ordered a large but I was trying to be more thoughtful about portion sizes. (Wink). I pulled into the parking lot facing north. The sun was bright and I had to put the visor down. I made quite an event of it. I turned my ringer off and my radio up. I sat back and took a big, perfect bite. It had my ideal amounts of ice cream, whipped cream and hot fudge. This is what I had promised myself back in February for my celebration when I got approved. It was gross. I was a little pissed and a little tickled. I walked over to the trash can outside by the edge of the parking lot and threw it away.
On September 15, 2008, I went into the Ohio State University for my Gastric Bypass. I knew the failure rate was high if compared to other life-saving surgeries. But I also knew that the success rate was based on the patients attitude. I was too stubborn to go through all of this and fail.
My recovery from surgery was not at all as painful as I was told it would be. I do have a high threshold for pain, but it was really nothing. I was supposed to have 6 weeks off, but it was pretty boring. I was fine. Really. The diet was the biggest thing to become used to. I knew I couldn't have sugar. And I knew that sugar was in a lot of things one might not consider. But I had carefully stocked my fridge and pantry with the items I had read about in my nutrition classes. Fortunately, I really don't care about food. I can eat the same thing for weeks in a row. If my taste buds don't reject it, that's fine. I did have an unfortunate attempt at eating out where I learned the hard way that marinara sauce has sugar in it. I got to see what that "dumping syndrome" was all about. You really only need that lesson once.
The week before Thanksgiving, my girlfriend had a party and I felt comfortable with what would be the right food choices and felt uncomfortable receiving a lot of praise for all of my successes so far. It had been only two months and my progress was so profound that you could tell immediately by looking at me. I had lost 65 pounds. This included the weight I lost before the surgery when learning the new nutrition from the class and giving up sugar.
This was the picture my friend took of me that day. Somehow I couldn't see the big change, probably because I looked at myself every day. It was quite a profound comparison to where I had been that summer.
The weight loss was so fast it was hard to believe. In October of 2009 I weighed 145. I weighed more than I had in high school when I was "fat," but now I knew that I wasn't fat at all. I was finally in a place where I could feel pretty. I had not purchased clothes because it seemed like a waste of money. I had some clothes donated by friends on my way down, but I didn't buy any myself. None of them really fit so I opted for dresses that could just hang without falling off or I would use a binder clip to keep my pants up. I looked ridiculous. That year I asked my family for gift certificates from Kohl's for Christmas. It never even occurred to me, but I got a winter coat from my mom and dad for Christmas from the store (I always refer to "the store." My family have been clothiers/furriers since the 30s). The store had been downsized in recent years and didn't even carry plus size clothing. I hadn't worn anything from the store since high school. I was so proud to wear a coat with the family label in it again.
On January 3, 2010 I went to Kohl's with my gift cards from the rest of the family. I always start at the clearance section. I found a pair of jeans that were a size 5. I wasn't sure what a size 5 translated to in women's sizes but they were clearance. I couldn't possibly fit into these but I filled my cart with all kinds of sizes from the 5 jeans in the junior department to 10s and 12s in women's. I thought it would be exciting to see if I could pull up the 5s so I tried them first. Not only could I pull them up, but I could zip and button them, too. I was overwhelmed. I started crying. Seriously crying. I called my mom at the store from the dressing room. She couldn't make out what I was saying. I calmed down and told her that I was wearing a size 5. It wasn't just joy. There was fear in that call. What if I fuck this up? A lot of people lose weight and put it back on. It was an amazing mixture of emotions. I feel confident the people in the rest of the dressing rooms at Kohl's were not as emotional about my revelation as I was and were hoping I would soon leave.
These are the jeans. I wasn't trying to show off my butt, I was showing off my jersey.
That following summer I was able to submit for reconstructive surgery. I went to the plastic surgeon that OSU suggested and he was great. He made me feel very comfortable standing there in my underwear and having him grab large masses of empty skin and taking pictures. He told me when we were done that he doubted the insurance company would approve me because my skin wasn't too bad. HUH? Gladly, my insurance disagreed. I was approved to get the excess skin from my stomach removed. I was not approved for the rest.
This surgery was in June and it required a cut from my breastbone down to my pubic bone and then a long curved cut from my pubic bone up and over each hip. He stitched two layers of skin. The recovery wasn't too bad for that one, either. It took a long minute to determine which ways I could turn and how I could stand or sit with the least pain, but after that it was fine.
After having had gastric bypass, you have to visit your surgeon once a year. They take your blood to make sure you are getting all of the vitamins you need and weigh you and make sure you are comfortable with your progress. I was always afraid of my progress. Finally, after about 4 years, when I said, "I'm afraid I will gain the weight back," to my nurse practitioner, I received a chuckle and a reply, "If you were going to do that you would've done it a long time ago." I felt so much more at ease after that. I started to coast into life with a little more confidence that this would be me now and I wouldn't fuck it up again.
Last September was the 6 year anniversary of my surgery. It was the very best decision for me. Everyone has to judge and recognize their own strengths and limits before making such a decision. I knew that I could live without sugar. And I knew that I could succeed with the help of the surgery. I have days now where I feel beautiful. I don't apologize for saying that. I don't feel arrogant. It took a lot of work, both mentally and physically to get to say that. Quite honestly, I am entitled to that feeling.

Great story. I have seen some really positive stories about gastric bypass and some horrible ones. I am glad yours was a good one.ReplyDelete
I was just looking up something today and realized I need to lose about 140 lbs to hit my ideal weight. That blows my mind there is no way I can be that overweight! But there it is...starring at me...

I don't know how I missed this. Sorry... :( I know exactly how you feel. I could not believe I weighed 300 pounds. It just kind of happens and one day you are not yourself at all any more. LOL. I hope your pizza was good. Thank you for your support.Delete
Glad to have read your story, Angie! I'm really amazed at how positive and confident you seem to be at the different stages of your surgery. Happy for your success! xxReplyDelete
Angie, congratulations on your decision to go through the surgery and change your life. You look beautiful and happy today.ReplyDelete
However, one thing. No more '80s hair! :)
Seriously, though, you've done great, and I offer my best wishes for you as you continue on this journey.
I am 39 years old and weigh 360lbs and have 7yr old twin sons. My babies are my whole world and I am slowly dying a little bit each day. I am afraid of going through the surgery and not waking up and for this reason I have tried my best to prepare my sons just in case I die that I'll always be there with them. As I write this I can't help but cry because it's not fair to my babies they deserve better. Hopefully God will be by my side and I can have a successful story like youReplyDelete

BRIAN LEE and the ORBITERS
Brian Lee & the Orbiters are based in Seattle, Washington, and are one of the premier bands on the Northwest blues scene. Brian fronts the band with melodic vocals and superb guitar, slide guitar, and blues harp. Brian has lead the band since it's formation in 1999, initially called the Blues Orbiters. The "Orbiters" name evokes the concept of the band-- a "broad orbit through the blues universe".
Brian's blues influences from an early age include Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Big and Little Walter, Johnny Watson, Guitar Slim, Peter Green, and later additions such as Jr. Watson, Jimmy Vaughan, Rick Estrin, Gary Smith, etc... Brian has lead the Orbiters to a prominent position in the Northwest blues scene based on their engaging and energetic delivery, top-flight musicianship, and great repertoire of original tunes and gems from the blues tradition. The Brian Lee Trio scales this same sound to provide a perfect fit for smaller venues. Brian and the band are serious in their musicianship, but have serious fun when they perform! Without gimmicks, the focus is on delivering a great performance of great tunes that are perfect for both dancing and listening.
Band members include some of the finest players in the area:
Guitar: Steve Yonck contributes to the Orbiters sound with his superb guitar work. Steve is deeply versed in the blues tradition, and he is an exceptionally fine guitarist. He has previously contributed to several top Northwest bands including the Hudson Blues Band, Kim Field's Titans of Tone, Harmonica Playboy and the Midnight Movers, and earlier performances with the Orbiters. His distinctive style is a superb complement to Brian's slide, harp, and guitar playing. Steve has recently rejoined with the Orbiters - check out the new photos in our gallery!
Drums: Russ Kammerer performs with both the Orbiters and the Trio. He's a superb drummer who really drives the groove with energy and finesse. Russ's playing demonstrates incredible versatility, polish, and expertise that comes from many years of professional touring performance. He's a fantastic player!
Bass: Hank Yanda plays bass with both the Orbiters and Trio. Hank also provides superb vocals. He's an amazing player who also has been on the scene for many years, and his experience really shows . He is a truly remarkable musicianwho really understand the blues.

(BLOOMINGTON) - The IU Board of Trustees voted on the university's budget and approved several update to campus facilities.
The next board meeting will be held August 8-9 at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis. That meeting will be the first for new trustees Randall Tobias, James T. Morris and student trustee Janice Farlow who were recently appointed to the board by Gov. Mike Pence. They will replace trustees Bruce Cole, Bill Strong and student representative Cora Griffin.
The trustees approved a $3.1 billion dollar budget for fiscal year 2013 -2014.
The board approved an estimated $21 million renovation project at Franklin Hall as part of the merger of journalism, telecommunications and communication and culture unit that will be housed in the building. The upgrades include the removal of asbestos and lead paint, roof upgrades, classroom, entryway and restroom updates so the building will be ADA compliant.
The old card catalog area in the East Tower of Herman B.Wells Library will be converted into a research area for graduate students and faculty and they will install fire sprinklers to part of the area . It will cost an estimated $1.4 million.
A $29 million dollar project at Kelley School of Business will be paid for with grant money and gifts. The renovation will include the renovation of the Hodge Hall where the aging mechanical systems will be replaced and the classrooms updated.
The trustees approved the IU campus to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in animal behavior, in international studies and in Central Eurasian studies on the IU campus.
They also approved the 2013-2014 repair and rehabilitation plan.

Sometimes I wonder.
I haven't had a date since before Thanksgiving. I'm still signed up on two online dating sites, and I check the profiles daily.
But I seem to have a problem with each woman. Too old. Too heavy. Too many kids. Lives too far away. Doesn't seem very smart.
Know what I mean?
After you've been divorced a couple of times, like I have, you can scrutinize women too closely. Perhaps that's better than rushing into love, but becoming too picky is also a problem.
After my last divorce three years ago, I waited about six months to date. Then I dated a flurry of women. I dove headfirst into online dating, curious to test the market.
I had no intention of getting serious with anyone. Instead, I just wanted to spend time with a variety of women after being locked in an unhappy marriage.
Now, I've corresponded with a couple of hundred women online and have been on dates with close to 25. Tall, short. Black, white and Hispanic. Women with master's degrees and women who never attended college. Women with money, women who were poor. A lawyer, real estate broker, budget analyst, nurse, pastor, and personal trainer.
Some of these women (and others) had no interest in me. So I had no choice whether to pursue them. But some other women I met were nice, attractive and intelligent.
Yet I wasn't interested. Am I dooming myself to a life alone? Are you?
After going out with a bunch of women and having a host of experiences, I have dating fatigue. Having many dates, I've discovered, doesn't necessarily mean you'll meet someone special. You may just be investing time and money with no return.
What others say about being picky
What do others say about being picky in dating? I did a Google search to find out.
"People are looking for the wrong things," writes Lori Gottlieb, author of Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. "You should have high standards. But people are too picky about the things that are not important – and not picky enough about the things that are."
She's quoted in an article titled "Are You Being Too Picky?" on happenmag.com.
The author, Lynn Harris, says some men and women have "impossible-to-meet standards" and wear "massive checklists on their sleeves."
"Edit your checklist," she advises.
An article on CyberDatingExpert.com quotes dating coach Julie Spira.
"Whether it's physical, financial, or geographical, we put too many restrictions that get in the way of love," says Spira.
I enjoyed a blog comment by a woman on the dating site PlentyofFish.com.
"Most men are way too picky – that is the problem," she writes. "Very few men can even be considered extremely good looking so why do most think that they deserve super models? So guys – all I'm saying is next time you come across a profile that looks interesting but you think you're too good for her/out of her league … think again … take a good look at yourself. Be realistic."
I'll concede that she has some good points. Sure, men are obsessed with a woman's appearance. Sure, we always try to aim higher in dating – higher than we probably should.
There may be a time when I'm more open to a serious relationship and willing to examine my dating checklist.
But for now, I'm content being too picky. After all, if I'd been pickier in the past, I might not have wound up being divorced twice.
It's useless to tell someone they're being too picky in dating. No one can get inside another person's head. No one can know their relationship history. People should be picky. Just don't be blind. Keep your eyes open and you might unexpectedly meet your lifelong partner.

Earlier this week, both Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Peter Pace and Defense Secretary Robert Gates disputed the argument that a resolution opposing Bush's escalation strategy would harm the troops and "embolden" our enemies:
PACE: "There's no doubt in my mind that the dialogue here in Washington strengthens our democracy. Period"
GATES: "Gates said troops understand members of Congress want to find the best way to win the war. 'I think they're sophisticated enough to understand that that's what the debate's really about,' he said."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the Senate's most ardent escalation supporters, slammed Pace and Gates this morning in the conservative Washington Times:
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he was outraged that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Peter Pace and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates would say U.S. combat forces "understand" politics back home and won't be disheartened by a symbolic no-confidence vote against the commander in chief.
"It shows a lack of sophistication about how this would play in newspaper headlines throughout the world," said Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican.
Instead of concerning himself with newspaper headlines, Sen. Graham should focus on getting the policy in Iraq right.

Biorenewables and sustainability are focus of Reiman Gardens tour
AMES, Iowa -- The recent explosion of television and newspaper reports on biofuels, sustainability and "going green" has many scratching their heads.
What are these plants? Where do they grow? What do they look like?
While most all current ethanol is made from corn, Miscanthus (shown here) shows great promise as a potential source of biomass for making ethanol in the future.
The plants that Iowans read about, but may never have seen before, are the subject of a Biowalk Tour hosted by Reiman Gardens and runs through the rest of the summer.
The self-guided tour introduces guests to many of the varieties of plants that are in the news, such as switchgrass, bluestem and others. The tour is included with regular Reiman Gardens admission.
"The purpose is to expose people to the plants that are being talked about for use as fuels and other things," said Aaron Steil, education and plant collections coordinator at Reiman Gardens.
In addition to biorenewables, guests will also have an opportunity to see "green" garden practices at work in the new Sustainable Rose Garden. In this garden, the roses are hardy and disease-resistant and require no spraying and little labor to thrive. According to Reiman Gardens, these practices are better for the environment and also save on labor costs and spray expenses.
Steil says that in the first two weeks after the new garden was planted, the fungicide use was cut in half - just by eliminating the spraying of this garden.
But Steil said the most innovative thing about the Biowalk Tour is the program, or lack of one.
"The really fun thing is, your cell phone is your guide," he said.
"When you're on the tour, you can call a number on your cell phone and hear about the plants you're looking at."
The idea, said Steil, is that rather than print thousands of brochures about the plants and the tour, you can get all the information you want through your phone.
"We're the first in Iowa to use this approach," said Steil. "And we're excited about it. No printing, no waste and all in the theme of the exhibit -- sustainability."

Elizabeth "Ine" Aju is an actress, singer and model from Ogoja, Cross River State in Nigeria. She was born on June 4, 1990 in Makurdi,Benue state. Her mother is Anna Menku (née Ajaba), an Odajie Police matron and her late father Augustine Aju was an Ekumtak police officer. Aju grew up and spent the majority of her childhood in Makurdi where she had a middle-class upbringing. She was raised in the Roman Catholic faith, the second of five children, her Siblings are Jane, Feddy, Mary and Olour.
Aju attended the Federal Government Girl's College in Gboko before enrolling on a diploma in Law at Benue State University. She later graduated with a Political Science degree from the National Open University. At the age of Seventeen, she started acting and featured in movies like Desire, Years in Rome, Royal Dilemma, King of Kings, and Clinic Matters. Aju's interest in music began around age Eighteen. At a stage, her mom was against her pursuit of a career in the entertainment world but would later grant her permission. In her words, "My mom didn't like it at first but as time went on, she saw
that I really had passion for entertainment so she started supporting me".
Ine Aju's rare talent and early lip-synching ability led to her first recording session. "A friend who heard me miming people's songs took me to a recording studio to help him with the chorus of his song, it came out very nice at the end of the day and I was so happy. From there, I started recording one of mine, and another and another and another until I got here" said Aju.
As a versatile music artist, Ine Aju incorporates dancehall, hip hop and R&B into her music. She performed at local events such as Loud & Proud, MTN Customer Care End Of Year Party, Felabration, and All-White Valentine Beach Party in 2011. Aju also performed at the 2013 Festac Festival and F.H.A Carnival along with R&B singer Kcee.
On April 5, 2013, she released her first music video for the single titled "Sexy And Naughty".

I'm going to just assume you've YouTubed at least one Disney song in your lifetime. Maybe you were singing with your kid, chasing nostalgia, or leading a libation-fueled rendition at some house party. You probably know the melody to "A Whole New World," and can sing the chorus of "Hakuna Matata." Disney has woven its inextricable thread into the collective pop-culture consciousness, so if you're a member of the past few generations, it's practically guaranteed you grew up with classic Disney films and their soundtracks.
Earlier this week, Disney Interactive Studios released Disney Sing It: Family Hits for Wii and PlayStation 3. It's the latest in the company's Sing It series, which has hitherto included music from such time-treasured, timeless classics as Hannah Montana and High School Musical. This time, Disney shifted the target audience from teenyboppers to a more universal crowd, with a varied song listing from decades of Disney movies.
Thirty songs from three Disney eras are honored: the classic period from the '30s to '60s, the "Renaissance" of the '90s, and contemporary releases, which include Pixar. Gameplay is less karaoke and more of a sing-along, as the original vocals play in the background as you sing the lyrics on screen. Assuming you stay in pitch and don't make Simba sound like a pubescent yodeler, you'll nab a high score. The game requires at least one microphone, which you can pick up with the game for an extra 10 bucks. Simply plug the mic into the Wii's USB slots and you're ready to unleash your inner Donna Summer.
Flipping through the song catalogue reveals the game's biggest flaw: too many songs are obscure and not recognizable enough. Not many people are going to know "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty or "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" from Peter Pan, much less how to sing them. And "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch? Wasn't that straight-to-video? I would've preferred to see these kinds of songs as unlockable bonuses. As they are, they make the game's song selection rather inaccessible.
Many beloved tunes were neglected, like Aladdin's "Friend Like Me," The Little Mermaid's "Kiss the Girl," Pocahontas's "Colors of the Wind," The Lion King's "Circle of Life," and most of Beauty and the Beast. Movies that aren't even known for their soundtracks, like Cars and A Bug's Life, feature multiple songs. Why not include an underrated Disney flick with great music, like A Goofy Movie or Hercules?
You can, however, learn the songs quite easily. They play in their entirety as you browse menus and makes selections. They're also accompanied by scenes from the films. But isn't the biggest appeal of these games singing songs you know and love? People go to karaoke for "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Livin' on a Prayer," not Perry Como's greatest hits. It's hard to jump right into many of the songs on Disney Sing It.
The game features three difficulty levels, accommodating everyone from tykes to grownups. The easy setting, however, is pretty much insulting to anyone older than four (you can just hum a single note continuously and achieve a perfect score, literally), while the hard setting actually requires you to sing well. You can listen to your performance when you're done, and adjust your voice to sound like all kinds of crazy. Choose from super-high-pitched eunuch chipmunk, super-low James Earl Jones resonance, or robot-like vibrato gone haywire. One technical nuisance is the microphone's slight lag, which can be distracting. Avoid this by lowering the mic volume to your liking, or switching it off completely.
To strengthen your pipes, the game offers a virtual vocal coach with 15 lessons, spanning from singing basics to advanced games and challenges. The genial Anika Noni Rose, voice of Princess Tiana in last year's The Princess and the Frog, acts as your instructor. She guides you through warm-ups, pitch, rhythm, and memory activities, and exercises similar to practicing scales or solfege ("do, re, mi"). If you do well, Anika will praise you ("You have a great voice!") or encourage more practice if you sound like a tortured goat ("You can try that again"). The vocal coach lessons and games, as well as all the songs on all three difficulty levels, feature scoreboards and use a five-star system to rate your performances. There are a total of 48 awards to earn by achieving high scores or fulfilling certain requirements.
Aside from the one-player Solo mode, Disney Sing-It: Family Hits offers Party Play, in which one-to-eight players can participate. There are three modes within Party Play: Together, Showdown, and Solo. Players sing cooperatively in Together—you can even choose a Family mode in which singers sing one line and then pass the mic to the next singer. If that's too Full House for you, try Showdown, and sing against each other for the high score. Solo allows individuals to sing for everyone else in the room, and can choose Performance mode to sing without the on-screen lyrics or notes for added toughness. In Together and Showdown, one or two mics may be used. If two players perform a duet, like Aladdin's "A Whole New World" or Cinderella's "So This Is Love," player one's notes are at the bottom of the screen and player two's are at the top.
Overall, Disney Sing It: Family Hits is an easy-to-use and colorful game with lots of Disney scenes and characters. However, it's hard to ignore the questionable song choices, which alienate kids who are too young, or adults who are simply unfamiliar with the music. If players don't mind learning some new songs before being able to actually sing them, the game can be fun and challenging for Disney fans of all ages and skill levels—from the Pavarottis to those who simply have a pulse.
Disney Sing It: Family Hits. Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Zoe Mode. Release Date: August 3, 2010. Platform: Wii. ESRB: Everyone. To purchase, click here.

Jayawardene hails Sri Lanka grit
N. Ananthanarayanan | March 24, 2007 11:22 IST
Sri Lankan batsmen overcame a seaming pitch in the morning to score 254 for six and then bowled out India for 185 after the pitch had settled down.
"The way we handled the situation and the way India handled the situation probably made the difference," he told a news conference.
The 1996 champions will carry two points into the next Super Eights stage, which could be crucial to reach the semis.
Sri Lankan opener Upul Tharanga dug in to top-score with 64 before Chamara Silva made 59, his third successive fifty in the tournament. Off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan took three wickets and was named the man of the match.
Left-arm paceman Chaminda Vaas removed openers Robin Uthappa (18) and Saurav Ganguly (7) after they tried toy force the pace too early.
"Upul batted really well and Chamara once again showed what a good cricketer he is," the skipper said.
"Murali bowled really well and Vassy bowled well upfront.
"They have a class batting line-up and considering that, we thought 250 was probably short. We managed to get couple of early wickets and put pressure on them."
India were virtually eliminated with the loss and will be heading home if Bangladesh avoid defeat against debutants Bermuda on Sunday.
Muralitharan, 34, was pleased with his own performance.
"The ball didn't turn much, but I've the ability to turn the ball," said the second highest one-day wicket-taker with 438 scalps. "Not many people would've turned much in this situation."
He also took a superb running catch to dismiss opener Saurav Ganguly for seven.
"Our bowlers also deserve credit because they kept a very good line and kept the pressure on," he said. "The Indians played big shots and they got out."

City of Decatur, GAHome Home Menu
Greenspace Planning
Greenspace planning continues to be a top priority for City Commissions – both to improve existing greenspaces and to acquire new greenspace opportunities. City greenspace includes parks, playing fields, paths and trails, cemeteries, woodlands and urban forests and stream buffers. Each greenspace enhances Decatur's sense of place, quality of life and environmental sustainability. The city's goal is to ensure that every resident lives within a half-mile or ten minute walk of a greenspace.
During FY 2017-2018, city staff will be preparing an update to the 2004 Greenspace and Preservation Plan, at which time opportunities for public participation will be released.
Decatur Greenspace Map
Pocket Parks
Pocket parks are typically around 1/4 of an acre and are either located within neighborhoods, surrounded by residential homes, or are located in commercial areas, surrounded by commercial buildings. Vacant or underutilized lots, commonly parking lots or floodplains, can easily be converted to create pocket parks. In Decatur, where land value is high and available land is limited, pocket parks offer the city opportunities to increase park space and access for its residents.
In 2016 the city acquired a 0.12 acre lot along Olympic Place to be converted into a pocket park. The conversion will include streambank restoration, removal of invasive species, on-site tree care, and general clean up of the property. Upon completion, the Olympic Place Pocket Park will directly serve the Olympic Place community, among others who wish to visit. Other pocket parks throughout the city include:
- 5th Avenue Pocket Park - 2
- Ansley Street Pocket Park - 5
- Candler Drive Pocket Park - 6
- Michigan Avenue Pocket Park - 26
- South Candler Pocket Park - 38
- Spring Street Pocket Park - 39
Public Private Parks
Being that available land for new greenspace is limited, the city also looks for opportunities with private developments and organizations to provide public access to their existing parks and facilities. Publicly available private greenspaces in the city include:
- Agnes Scott College - 4
- Columbia Seminary - 8
- First Baptist Church Decatur Greenspace - 16
- Oakhurst Community Garden - 27
- Parkwood Park - 33
- PATH Trail & Linear Park - 34
- Sugar Creek - 40
- Toy Park at First Christian Church - 43
- Woodlands Garden - 47

Saturday afternoon, I went to the cinema to see "The Simpsons Movie" with my nephew - almost as much of a Simpsons fan as I. 30 year age difference between us, but we were both laughing (me with a chesty rumble as I have a cold at the moment) at much the same things for much the same reasons. There were a couple of moments when the question "What does that mean?" could be heard, but he answered me politely...
We stayed until the very end of the credits, which was an adventure for him - it was the first time he had been the last person in a cinema and he was thrilled by the experience - especially when he saw the various bits in the credits (and in the soundtrack) that "We're the only people who have seen" He (and I) have been waiting ages for this film - he saw the trailer at (I think) the Wallace & Gromit film when it came out and has been asking me ever since to tell him when it was coming out. Now, of course, he wants to know when the sequel is due out... And all because of one word said by one of the main characters in a credits sequence!
On the way home, he kept on singing the "SpiderPig" song. No-one else in the family quite understands why he and I love The Simpsons as much as we doo, but then they gave up on me when I first got into Star Trek, and he's following a similar path with Star Wars (you could say he is my young Padawan...)
Now, of course, it's "When is the DVD coming out and can I get it for Christmas?"
Said by both of us at the same time, to the bemused stare of his father/my brother, who came to pick us up from the cinema.

'The Walking Dead' recap: Beloved character makes ultimate sacrifice
The Walking Dead was all about Ezekiel, as the king emerged from his human shield only to find his beloved friends turned into walkers.
The last episode ended with Ezekiel and his platoon being wiped out by the Saviors' .50 caliber machine gun. Thanks to his knights' bravery, Ezekiel suffered only an injury to his lower leg.
Unfortunately almost everyone else died and thus became walkers. To make matters worse, Ezekiel soon found himself prisoner of one of the Saviors.
Luckily, Jerry showed up and with a swing of his axe, he freed the king to fight alongside him as the walkers swarmed. And they were both fortunate when Carol rescued them from the mob of dead.
As the the three tried to flee the walkers, they stumbled on an even worse type of walker, the kind that are mutated by toxic waste. Frustrated with the predicament, Ezekiel decided to give up.
But in the midst of his breakdown, a familiar face appeared. It was Shiva.
Shiva viciously attacked the toxic walkers. At first it seemed as though the day had been saved, but soon Ezekiel's worst fears were realized. Shiva was overwhelmed by the walkers and was killed.
But her sacrifice allowed Ezekiel, and the others, to escape and safely return to the Kingdom.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
Watch as some of the TWD characters are really wrestling with their moral ambiguity:

For women who are looking for a great solution to fixing damaged hair without having to pay top dollar for a salon haircut and stylist, it is now recommended to try the Wen products that are products created by Chaz Dean to reverse any damage in the hair that is caused from chemicals or even from the sun. Chaz Dean, even at a young age, knew that he wanted to be a businessman and a stylist. This combination has now helped him to become one of the most sought after stylists in the United States. Thanks to Chaz Dean[http://www.wen.com/chaz-dean.html], his new product of Wen now allows for individuals to achieve a salon quality style with salon quality hair without even having to pay for a salon. Chaz Dean has put countless days of long hours in a lab to come up with the perfect product for customers that would lead to beautiful and healthy hair.
The Wen products were officially established 16 years ago and Mr. Dean has since then sold over 40 million bottles of the product. In recent news, one blogger in particular decided to test out what Mr. Dean's products had to offer and tested it on her own hair she she deemed as being a finer hair. Within just a few days of applying this Amazon sold product to her hair, this blogger noticed a different in her hair and noticed that her hair felt softer than ever. The only recommendation that this blogger would make to customers of Wen is that they wake up earlier in the morning. Though the results of this product are great, this blogger does comment that it takes time out from the morning. Overall, everyone can agree that Chaz Dean's hard work has paid off for clients of his as well as individuals with fine and coarse hair. Check out the Wen channel on YouTube for more info.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Hollister Epic store in SoHo closed Wednesday because of a bed bug infestation on the premises. (Hollister is an Abercrombie and Fitch brand.)
Apparently the store's shirtless male models that normally greet customers at the door are now turning them away.
The WSJ was quick to emphasize that bed bugs don't spread disease*, and that commercial buildings do not need to report an infestation to the city.
Still, bedbugs aren't something consumers expect to bring home with their new clothes, and an expert on torts law said, hypothetically, consumers who had made recent purchases and then discover bedbugs could have a case.
"Technically it's a breach of warranty of merchantability," said Michael M. Martin, a professor at Fordham University School of Law. "They are defective because they don't meet consumer expectation. The usual remedy for that, first of all you can get price back and, second, you might well be able to recover for the consequential injuries. I'd be willing to take that case."
Words likely to launch a thousand lawsuits!
Gothamist shares one employee's account of the situation in the dark retail store, and unfortunately perpetuates the incorrect idea that "bed bugs only feed at night."
Unfortunately, Consumerist also picks up this piece of misinformation from Gothamist.
It's not true.
Bed bugs do not only feed at night, or even only in darkened rooms, though this is their preference if possible.
Bed beds will feed in broad daylight if that is the only option they have. They can and do feed on people in lighted New York City public schools, law firms, publishing houses, record companies, and so on.
MSNBC reports the SoHo Hollister store was "in the process of removing the bedbugs and hoped to reopen the store soon."
Read more stories about bed bugs in the workplace.
*Just to clarify: The World Health Organization is concerned about the health effects of bed bugs. They reported in 2008 that bed bugs may cause bronchial asthma, anemia, and even a "general malaise". (Here's a link where you can download the report in PDF form, and here's a post on Bedbugger about it.) The WHO was also concerned about the potential for bed bugs to spread human pathogens (even though such transmission is as yet unknown).
Bedbugger also notes that stress, anxiety, and a loss of sleep — which are all commonly reported by bed bug sufferers — can be serious health problems (and can contribute to the onset of disease). Serious reactions to bed bug bites are not unknown, and even "typical" itchy bed bug bites can lead to infection if scratched, and can cause significant discomfort for sufferers.

You need the recommended Minecraft Forge version: http://www.minecraft.../topic,5.0.html
The API alone has no content, you need at least one FamPack!
Current Version: 1.7.10
Familiars API
Extended FamPack
DefaultMobs FamPack
Herobrine FamPack
orig. topic credits: burnner
- added new ConfigGui (you will find it in TitleScreen -> Mods)
- update to 1.7.2 *sigh*
- you can disable the updatechecker now in config-file
- added language files (english + german) you can provide files in your language now and I'll add them
- update to 1.6.4
- fixed a bug that you could transfer unlocked familiars between worlds
- with "H" you can enable/disable Familiars abilities (only effects the player who's using it)
- added an option to enable/disable Familiars abilties on server for everyone, so they do only have a cosmetic being
How to install:
2. Install forge
3. put the downloaded zip-file into the mods-folder (don't install the mods into minecraft.jar!)
You'll need the API and at least one Fampack!
If you want to create your own Familiar, take a look: http://www.minecraft.../#entry14723174
The Familiar mod includes a little familiar for the player, so it's not always so lonely in SSP.
A Familiar is a kind of protector / companion that always follows the player.
They are not tameable like dogs and do not occur in the wild. These can be equipped like items / armor, Dungeon Defenders has inspired me.
The creatures do not only fly someone behind they also have a passive/active skill (attack by mobs, heal the player etc).
Some are not available from the beginning, you need to unlock them first (buy with XP or unlock achievements).
This mod is an API too (tut comes soon), so anyone might make a complete MLP Familiar Pack or Pokemon or something ^^
To equip them you have to use the FamGuide, you'll find there further info and how to unlock them.
To craft it, you'll need a book, gunpowder, spidereye, bones and rotten flesh.

By Nichola Groom (Reuters) – For the first eight months of Donald Trump's presidency, new U.S. citizens did not receive the customary presidential welcome at their naturalization ceremonies. That changed this week, as immigration officials rolled out a video in which Trump welcomes new citizens into "the American family." More than 4,500 people from 120 countries were among the first to catch Trump's video as they were sworn in at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Wednesday morning. "You now share the obligation to teach our values to others, to help newcomers assimilate to our way of life, and uplift America by living according to its highest ideals of self-governance and its highest standards," Trump says in the video. Attendees applauded at the end of the one-minute-and-37- second recording, which few realized was new to such ceremonies. In interviews following the event, most new citizens said they appreciated hearing from the nation's leader. "I'm obviously pleased that there is a message coming from him and that it's positive and embracing," said Monica Babich, 40, who described herself as "not a fan" of Trump's. Babich is originally from Peru but has been a U.S. resident since 1981. Ramon Hernandez, 47, a waiter who came to the United States from Mexico 30 years ago, was surprised to hear from Trump "because everybody says bad things about him," but said "it was a very good message." Some attendees expressed scepticism about the message behind the new presidential greeting, in which Trump reads from a teleprompter and only once appears to ad lib when referring to citizenship as "very, very special." "He did his job as a president," said Akila Mansour, 34, from Algeria. "Whether he really meant it or no, I don't know." The video was first shown last week at a small ceremony in Washington. On Wednesday, it debuted in Los Angeles, home to the largest citizenship ceremonies in the country. A greeting from the president has been standard for two decades at swearing-in ceremonies, where new citizens pledge to defend the United States and renounce foreign allegiances. Trump's two immediate predecessors – President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush – both recorded videos that were played at naturalization ceremonies. Obama, in his video, urged new citizens to "help write the next great chapter in our American story." Bush told participants in the ceremonies that "with a single oath, all at once, you became as fully American as the most direct descendants of the Founding Fathers." Trump was criticized in some quarters for taking months to record a video for ceremonies, with some questioning whether it was deliberate as his administration has moved to tighten controls on both legal and illegal immigration. A congratulatory video recorded by former Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly played at ceremonies for a few weeks this summer but was pulled when Trump tapped Kelly as White House chief of staff. In fact, the timing of Trump's video was in line with that of his predecessor. Barack Obama's recording began airing in October of 2009.(Reporting by Nichola Groom; Editing by Sue Horton and Jonathan Oatis)

Hillary Clinton Silent on E-mail Scandal, Anniversary of March on Selma, Guests RuPaul and Tommy DavidsonBy The View | Mar 9th, 2015
Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, Nicolle Wallace and guest co-host Garcelle Beauvais on continued Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal and the 50th anniversary of the march on Selma.
Hot Topic: Curtain Raises
Rosie Perez tells "The View" co-hosts about the opening of Broadway's "Fish in the Dark," which she stars in with Larry David.
Hot Topic: The Write Stuff
Hillary Clinton is still faced with the question of why she used her personal email account instead of a government account while Secretary of State and more importantly why she has stayed silent about it. Saturday Night Live addressed the controversy in a new sketch with Kate McKinnon. Fellow democrats, including Dianne Feinstein, are also asking why Hillary Clinton is staying silent on the matter.
Hot Topic: March On
President Obama along with many civil right activists and George W. Bush commemorated the 50th anniversary of the March on Selma. The current and former presidents marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. "The View" co-hosts wonder why there were not more Republics present and why The New York Times cropped former President Bush out of a photo from the event.
Hot Topic: Caught on Tape
"The View" co-hosts react to a YouTube video that went viral which shows the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity from the University of Oklahoma chanting a racial slur.
Guest RuPaul
RuPaul talks about why Drag Race is so enticing to viewer and why Whoopi needs to come out to Los Angeles to show off her new drag look.
Guest Tommy Davidson
Tommy Davidson talks about how he was cast on "In Living Color" and what made the show so special.

At last.....the last bed cleared.
Two peaceful hours spent at the plot this morning taking advantage of the shade from the large beech tree enabled this much progress. The bed was thick with weeds as it hadn't been touched since last autumn when I dug out the spuds. I took 3 barrowloads of weeds to the compost heap from here.......I'm glad it is done now. It looks small here but it is actually 10ft x 4ft.
It will lie low now until I need to plant the cabbages later....September probably. I am thinking of putting down a green manure crop until then, but if anyone has any suggestions for something that'll be up and gone in 8 weeks I might consider another crop.
This is the next project...the far corner of the plot. There is a stand of comfrey that needs cutting now for mulching and compost, and a whole lot of nettles that also need dealing with. Also....all the paths at this end of the plot need attention. I like to keep them as just earth paths so that a quick hoe round keeps them clear.....but this year hasn't been like that. When I have caught up I will make sure not to let them get away from me again.
We also need to get the strimmer here and do the main paths and the weedy bank.
I saw that the beetroot for pickling seem to be ready....so must get to them in the next few days. And the other end of the brassica bed still hasn't been weeded and the kohlrabi looks ready too.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a tasty kohlrabi recipe? I usually grate it for salad but am bored with that now....
The spuds also are ready for digging. The Charlotte are going yellow, and the Desire have finished flowering and are beginning to turn. I think for both of these I will just cut off the tops and leave them in the soil til we need them. They keep so well like that and I don't need the space as I have nothing waiting to go in.
There is some talk that the Allotments will be given over to the Parish Council to oversee in future. We all hope so because then we may get something done about the untouched plot by mine. I have spoken up for it suggesting that if it does become vacant I would like to move to it as it gets more sun than mine. It won't have the tree sucking out all the water, and it won't have the weedy bank to look after either.
If I get it I will transfer all my fruit from the bank, and push the shed across. The shed on the plot has seen better days and mine is only 2 1/2 years old.

I saw this picture of Kylie Jenner on tumblr and I thought her outfit was amazing, and it is definitely something I would wear myself! So I thought of a way to make this outfit a little more affordable for me (and you, if you like this outfit). Cause we all know how much celebrities tend to spend on their outfits sometimes, when there is an much more affordable way.
The pink tailored blazer {on sale ≃ €21.61 without shipping} and the golden sequin trousers {≃ €34.58 without shipping} are from Missguided. It was such a coincidence to see Kylie wearing the exact same trousers on Missguided. So funny! The grey top {€4.95} and the black pumps {€39.95} are from H&M. Total cost = €101.09!
Do you think this outfit is worth the price? Or do you think you can find cheaper alternatives?

Well, many of us thought, analyzed and then poured our hearts out to fill a "25 random things about yourself" or "40 things you don't know about me", or a "gazillion things I REALLY didn't want to know about you" type of lists. So how would it be if the bard decided to make one such list? Fret not, fair maiden (or men or whatever else), here's just such a list. Some [of my favourite] excerpts:
13 The people that loue my Wordes the best are always the most disappointed vpon meeting me. Is thisse List ouer yet?
15 I deteste it when the Low-Comedians improuise the scenes I writ them… becavse they always make them so mvch fvnnier.
25 When I am feeling Melancholic, I console myselfe with the Knowledge that, aboue all else, I will be remembered for my Musick.
Notice the spelling, of course!
