Snatching husbands ..... I hate that phrase, are these our men baby kingsways or what that they get snatched with no resistance from them? Men do not get snatched, let's not get it twisted. They wander and sometimes go so deep into the forest that they get lost.Delete

Wow, I read on my old blog how people were cursing her. Saying She will die, She will not reap the fruits of Her labours, and She Didn't. Husband snatchers, beware o! . Wow , iReplyDelete
So sad , People be careful how you curse others, play play it will now follow them. Abeg if i offend anyone , no curse me. I BEG YOU . This life is too short , let everyone live right with God . No fornication, no husband snatching , no sin. Just follow Gods way because you dont knw when the time is upReplies
a beg you this new year lets drop all this repetition of religious dogma…GOD has shown us what to do yet we still sit inside the church praying and praying,if you check the bible in different places where GOD sent his word once the people refused to heed the word he will keep quiet and not repeat himself again the girl's death was as a result of government corruption and incompetence if hospitals were as good as ordinary india talk less of uk or usa the lady will still be with us today nigerian hospitals are mortuaries and the doctors are not much better than butchers the nurses are rude,uncouth and should be working as hairdressers we have many problems and the solution lies with our govt leave GOD out of it at this stage a begDelete

That been said , Everything in Nigeria is on big mess, so i cant expect anything better from the health care system. The only thing that is perfect in Nigeria is CORRUPTION.

Pls pls Luca is right. Come to America and see plenty husband snatchers. They don't die from pregnancy complications however because hospitals are good.Delete
its not about leaving outside naija long after all i do come to nigeria every year sometimes twice or more sef,its about focusing on the real issues..obviously jazz is real but in this case it was obviously tied to medical incompetence and lack of the proper equipments..if you read the full story they said yinka quadric her boss called a meeting of their colleagues that they should contribute money and take her abroad meaning that
1.the family treated her illness as something that can be sorted out locally if not she was diagnosed in an hospital,then her family took her to a church before finally ending up in u.c.h all this within several months if they had raised some money and send her abroad she would probably have survived it look at sikiratu sindodo

- Anonymous02 January, 2013 18:58
this is a very sad and humbly incident no doubt however there are still lingering unanswered questions begging for answersReplyDelete
1.how long precisely has she been sick and where are the places she was taken to for treatment?
2.what treatment was administered on her and what was her condition?
3.wht exactly killed her because all we have heard so far is "complications' this is a general term covering so many areas complications can be something as simple as headache or something much more serious..
im surprised the family are not allowing an autopsy in order to make a firm determination and i believe the govt should have insisted…so many people die without us knowing the real cause of death,it is not to take revenge n anyone but in order to correctly diagnose and prevent it in others also if checks,balances and improvements need to be madeReplies

Mr. Lucabracee,Delete
She was treated before she died at UCH Ibadan. Her family knows her case history and her cause of death. The body will not be allowed out of UCH without an autopsy. This is not Lagos where autopsies are optional. It is left for the family to disclose the Cause of Death.
in that case they (the family)have omitted chunks of the story which is not being dislosed to the public..i dint know uch was that competent..na wa o still can't get over it such a young girl..its high time Nigerians start being responsible about health management both rich and poor old and young because people take a whole lot for granted.. it took a mild health scare when my dad was on a visit to the usa some years ago that made him start being responsible about his health...Delete

@Lucabracee, don't you know that juju or voodoo is beyond medical science?ReplyDelete
Apart from husband snatching all young people should learn from her death. You should avoid causing wahala among heavyweights in your industry. She had an argument with a popular actor who cursed her that it would be her last film.
She then told her former boss that the actor said he was more educated than them. It led to another argument. Do not say everything you hear. She should not have told her boss all that. Her boss accused the actor of calling them illiterate. Ijebu curses are real ooo.Replies
i know diabolical stuff is real but then again if you allow yourself to be intimidated by it then even when there is nothing you will wrongly believe there is something…Delete
she is not the first to marry a guy who has kids for another woman,secondly it would be absurd for dele odule an accomplished actor to do anything to her for what reason?
lets be honest she is known in the yoruba movie sector but not amongst the top ten she is still an upcoming and the man only meant that if he had his way he will make sure her career not her life as an actress is over..reading between the lines its obvious that they have had issues which spilled over into filming which would have probably been settled..
you can't be pre judging people based on hear say and no evidence

Earthquake M6.3 Whitehorse, YT, Canada · felt and logged this incoming energy on April 28
Energy Sensitive, Earth Empath
Being an energy intuitive and sensitive empath; I have always been a storm.
Vibrational shifts from energetic currents are sensed, quite like a musical tuning fork, which allow me to FEEL abrupt and incoming signals of change.
As I've learned to ignore the hundreds of daily quakes of smaller magnitudes, I can better focus on the larger scales: 6.3+ internationally, and closer to home as 3.5 in the US.
When Earth speaks, I make an effort to record the date and time (see by hovering your cursor over the date) which will be titled: 'Did You Feel That?'. Then I'll log the event when it happens. Thanks for joining my journey. ~Suzi Dronzek, Starcana, Inc.
Despite my awareness of the energetic connection, this 'special knowledge', I've learned this technique through a lifetime of practice and ridicule. In sharing the data that I have come to understand, I do not predict or guarantee accuracy – but share as a service to those with a similar interest in this fascinating phenomenon.

Enoc Perez's first public display of sculptures opens at Acquavella Galleries
Enoc Perez, Hotel La Concha, San Juan, December 2012. Oil on canvas, 60 x 80 inches (152.4 x 203.2 cm).
Acquavella Galleries
presents The Good Days, Enoc Perezs second solo exhibition with the gallery, from January 11th to February 9th 2013. The exhibition features all new work including works on canvas and the artists first public display of sculptures. The new paintings revisit themes explored in previous work, namely Modern era Caribbean hotels. For Perez, Caribbean-style architecture reflected the political and social circumstances of the Caribbean nations in the 1950s and 1960s, and suggested utopian ideals for a better tomorrow. Parallel to this subject matter, Perezs new series of plaster and bronze sculptures are inspired by the artists collection of vintage swizzle sticks, many of which originated from the same hotels Perez paints.
The swizzle sticks are enlarged, cast, and collaged to reconstruct their embodied meaning. Perez's paintings have straddled figuration and abstraction throughout his career and his sculptures present a similar synthesis. I hope that their inherent equilibrium takes what Modernity pictured in the past and exemplifies the ever-changing abstraction that is our present, explained Perez.
Two years ago Perez began using a paintbrush again along with the hand-printing technique that he has developed over the course of his twenty-five-year career. The brush has impelled Perez into making work that is increasingly abstract. His recent paintings of buildings that he has depicted in the past are now ghostly and faded, alluding to both the decay of the structures themselves and the ideals that they represented.
Bob Colacello, who wrote the essay for the catalogue that will accompany the exhibition, writes, Despite the implacable logic behind his methods and the mental rigor of his ideas, it is evident that once Enoc Perez starts paintings his senses take over. The new work portrays the evolution of the artists technique and his consistent balance between intellect, instinct and emotion.
Enoc Perez (b. 1967) was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and currently lives and works in New York City. Perez received his B.F.A at Pratt Institute before earning his M.F.A at Hunter College. He currently has a solo exhibition on view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C. and has exhibited at institutions around the world including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; MoCA, North Miami; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; and Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the British Museum, London.

NJ Transit to restore full-service into New York post Superstorm SandyWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
New NJ Transit rail schedules take effect on Monday, Jan. 14, 2013, will include additional trains on the North Jersey Coast Line that will restore service levels into New York to 100 percent, reflecting the agency's ongoing Hurricane Sandy recovery and repair.
"The full restoration of our New York Penn Station rail service marks another important milestone for NJ Transit and our customers, the majority of whom commute to and from midtown Manhattan," said NJ Transit Executive Director James Weinstein. "Equally important is the progress we've made on the North Jersey Coast Line, which was among the hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. Again, I cannot emphasize enough the tireless efforts made by our rail employees to restore service for our customers."
Starting January 14, the North Jersey Coast Line will operate nine additional trains, restoring the line's service level to 96 percent of its pre-Sandy schedule. Currently, NJ Transit is operating 101 of the 114 pre-Sandy scheduled trains along the North Jersey Coast Line. As of Jan. 14, NJ Transit will be operating 110 of those 114 trains.
Two of the added North Jersey Coast Line trains will operate between Long Branch and New York Penn Station, bringing NJ Transit back to 100 percent of its pre-Sandy service level to and from New York. The remaining seven trains will either originate or terminate in Bay Head, with four of those trains resuming direct service between Bay Head and Hoboken Terminal.
Systemwide, NJ Transit's rail division will reach 94 percent of its pre-Sandy service level with the Jan. 14 schedule change, operating 658 of the 700 weekday trains scheduled prior to the storm, compared to the 630 weekday trains operating now. Weekend service was restored to near pre-storm levels as of December 3rd.
Flooding from Hurricane Sandy and the resulting exposure to saltwater destroyed NJ Transit's Mason Substation in Hoboken, a critical component of NJ Transit's infrastructure that provides electric power for trains to operate into and out of Hoboken Terminal each day.
With no electric power available, diesel-powered trains have been substituted for electric-powered trains into and out of Hoboken, particularly along the Gladstone Branch of the Morris & Essex Lines. Approximately 24 electric-powered trains that operated along the Gladstone Branch pre-Sandy have been replaced by diesel-powered trains.
NJ Transit tentatively anticipates electric power to be restored to Hoboken Terminal by March, at which time electric trains will be restored to the affected lines.

Augusta's wrestling team had some ups and downs at the Chanute tournament Saturday.
The Orioles finished on a strong note by taking third place in the team standings of a competitive field. They scored 118 points. Derby won the team title with 174 points. Topeka Seaman was second with 157.5 points. Andover Central was fourth (114) and Chanute, ranked No. 5 in Class 4A as of last week, took fifth (108.5).
The Orioles had three finalists, but only one came away with a title. Jacob Goldenstein had no problems with Mill Valley's Landon Scott in the 106-pound championship. Goldenstein won 14-1 to remain undefeated; his record has improved to 26-0 on the season.
Quentin Spainhower (160) had three convincing wins to advance to the finals, but Derby's Dakota Driskill was able to top Spainhower 5-0 to claim the title. Spainhower now is 23-4 on the season.
Jacob Hill (170) did some of his best wrestling recently as he won two matches with pins on way to the final. But Hill ran into Topeka-Seaman's Bryant Guillen, who is undefeated and ranked No. 1 in All-Class. Guillen beat Hill 15-0 to win the title. Hill's record now is 23-5 on the season.
Wright Bosley (182) took third place. Cory White (138) took fourth place. Brett Hamilton (145)and Colton Clayborn (152) both took fifth place. Nathan Moore (113) and Jake Ehrlich (285) both took sixth place.
Augusta is off Thursday and will compete in the two-day Rose Hill tournament this coming weekend. The Orioles close the regular season the following week with a dual at Andale and a tournament at Remington. Augusta will host a Class 4A regional tournament Feb. 15 through 16.

Teen lesbian arrested for underage affair will spend months in jail
Kaitlyn Hunt, the former high school student who carried on a sexual relationship with a fellow student four years her junior, has agreed to serve four months in jail as part of a plea deal.
The deal also calls for Hunt, now 19, to spend two years under house arrest. Authorities will have the power to monitor her phone and computer to make sure that she is not attempting to contact her former girlfriend. In exchange, Hunt will not have to register as a sex offender, according to The Huffington Post.
The acceptance of the plea brings to an end months of intense media scrutiny over the case, which galvanized gay rights groups who claimed that Hunt was treated harshly because the relationship was between two girls. Hunt's parents have stood by their daughter, and the family maintains that the relationship was consensual–as does the other girl.
However, the two girls were on opposite sides of Florida's age of consent law, which gave the parents of Hunt's girlfriend the right to seek state intervention after learning that the couple had engaged in sex on several occasions. Hunt was charged with lascivious battery on a minor.
She was initially free on bail, but was re-arrested in August after authorities learned that she had violated the conditions of her release by repeatedly contacting her ex-girlfriend and continuing the relationship. (RELATED: Teen lesbian back in jail after continuing affair with underage lover)
Hunt's attorney told a local news channel that she hopes to lobby legislators to modify the law.
"Kaitlyn, her family, friends and supporters never want to see another teenager in this kind of situation," said the attorney.

Jablonski Named Gatorade Player of the Year
Incoming freshman Kaylan Jablonski was named the 2013-14 Gatorade Nebraska High School Softball Player of the Year, the Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA Today High School Sports, announced on Thursday.
Jablonski is the first Omaha Skutt Catholic player to earn the player-of-the-year honor. She is also the first player from a Class B school to be named the Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year since current Husker junior Alicia Armstrong, who was named the state's top player in 2011-12 for Beatrice High School. Jablonski's incoming classmate Madi Unzicker was named the 2012-13 Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior at Millard South High School.
Jablonski led Omaha Skutt to a 28-4 record and the 2013 Class B state championship. In the circle, Jablonski compiled a 23-2 record with a 0.81 ERA, striking out 278 batters and walking just 22 in 155.2 innings. She was just as good at the plate, posting a .610 batting average with nine home runs and 33 RBIs. For her efforts, Jablonski was also named the honorary captain of the Omaha World-Herald All-Nebraska team.
In her career, Jablonski posted an 81-14 record with a 1.50 ERA and 891 strikeouts in 556.0 innings. She boasted a .557 career batting average, an all-class state record. Jablonski also set Nebraska Class B career records with 25 home runs and 137 RBIs.
Jablonski is one of six incoming freshmen who will join the Husker softball program this fall. In addition to Jablonski and Unzicker, fellow in-state products Gina Metzler (Papillion-La Vista HS) and Taylor Otte (Wahoo HS) will all begin their Husker careers this season. The four in-state products will be joined by out-of-state stars Laura Barrow (Kearney, Mo.) and Caitlin Bartsch (The Woodlands, Texas).

Obama: 'It's time to give America a raise'
New Britain — President Barack Obama's message that those who "do backbreaking work every day" deserve a raise was greeted enthusiastically by a crowd of about 2,000 Wednesday at Central Connecticut State University.
Obama's proposal to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 was simply common sense, one student shouted.
"It is common sense," Obama replied. "It's time for $10.10. It's time to give America a raise."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez and governors from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont stood behind the president as he told the crowd that it wasn't enough to retain jobs in America. Rather, he said, the United States had to provide more good jobs with good wages, give everyone the opportunity for affordable education and make sure women receive equal pay for equal work.
"Nobody who works full-time should ever have to raise a family in poverty," Obama said.
Obama said he asked Congress to raise the minimum wage a year ago and that thus far six states, including Connecticut, have raised their minimum wages.
"So many of us understand that at the heart of America, the central premise of this country is the chance to achieve your dreams," Obama said. "If you work hard, if you take responsibility — it doesn't matter where you start, it is where you finish."
State Senate President Pro Tempore Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, said he thought the president was at ease on Wednesday.
"I thought he demonstrated flashes of humor, certainly optimism," Williams said. "He knows that he is among friends in Connecticut and he knows that this is a state that leads the way in terms of helping workers and their families."
The president brought a lot of energy, said Clifton E. Graves Jr., of New Haven. Graves said he was optimistic about the minimum wage increase in Connecticut.
"I think nationally it is going to be a real struggle for the president," he said.
Nicholas Kirychuk of Meriden said he got to shake the president's hand and that he "loved" Obama's speech. He said his daughter makes the minimum wage and that she was "so excited" Jan. 1 when her wage went up to $8.70 per hour.
"She loves to spend," he said. "The more they have, the more they spend."
Obama said that he has raised the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour for federal contractors, has worked with state and local officials to increase the minimum wage and asked businesses to increase wages.
The retail chain Costco has understood for a long time the need to pay fair wages, Obama said. They understand that it instills loyalty and, "by the way, their stocks do great, they are high," the president said.
"It's not bad business to do right by your workers; it is good business," he said.
If there is a higher minimum wage, workers have more to spend and businesses benefit, he added.
An increase would help retail workers, restaurant workers, hospital and fast-food staff. They don't want to get rich, he said.
"But they do feel like if they are going to do backbreaking work every day, at least let them have the money to pay their bills," Obama said.
To this, a young woman in the crowd said, "I know that's right."
But if the federal government is going to raise the minimum wage, Congress has to get on board, Obama said.
"This should not be that hard, you would think because nearly three in four Americans, about half of all Republicans, support raising the minimum wage," he said. "The problem is that Republicans in Congress don't support raising the minimum wage, and I don't know if that is just because I proposed it."
Obama closed his speech by saying he would continue to push for the minimum wage as long as he is president.
A Quinnipiac University poll released this week showed that 71 percent of Connecticut voters surveyed support an increase. Of Democrats, 93 percent are in favor while 53 percent of Republicans are against.
The annual salary of someone who works for $10.10 an hour, 40 hours per week, would be $21,008. About 70,000 to 90,000 members of Connecticut's 1.7 million-strong workforce earn the minimum wage, according to the Malloy administration.
Nationwide, an increase in the minimum wage would benefit more than 28 million workers directly and indirectly. Of those, 55 percent are female, according to a report last month from the Council of Economic Advisers, an agency within the Executive Office of the President.
Passage seen likely in Connecticut
Before the president's arrival, hundreds of college students, members of the public and dozens of state officials piled into the Kaiser Gym.
"It's an amazing experience to have him, to get to see him speak at all, let alone in our own back yard," said Jessica Jenkins, a senior at CCSU who is studying communications and was covering the event.
Democratic state legislators and mayors said they wouldn't miss the opportunity to hear President Obama speak. Most believed Obama's visit would help Connecticut increase its minimum wage to $10.10 per hour in 2017 but said they weren't sure whether the minimum wage would be increased at the federal level.
"I think it will help Connecticut pass the minimum wage and the governor's leadership on this issue has been terrific," said House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden. "I think we have the votes in the legislature."
State Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, said he looked forward to hearing the president's rationale for increasing the minimum wage.
"Obviously it is a controversial issue and I have heard from constituents on both sides," Maynard said. "So I am eager to hear the president's view."
State Rep. Kevin Ryan, D-Montville, said Connecticut had been talking about increasing the minimum wage for a long time so he wasn't surprised that President Obama was visiting the state.
He said increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2017 was reasonable for Connecticut, but he said he wasn't sure whether it would pass at the federal level.
Maynard said he thought it was unlikely there would be a minimum wage increase at the federal level with the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Sharkey said he also wasn't sure whether it would be passed at the federal level.
"We do things differently here in Connecticut," he said. "I think we are usually ahead of the game when it comes to a lot of issues."
Last year, the legislature passed and the governor signed into law legislation that raised the state's minimum wage to $8.70 from $8.25 on Jan. 1, 2014, and will raise it further, to $9 on Jan. 1, 2015. The proposal Malloy made last month, if approved, would increase it annually until it is $10.10 on Jan. 1, 2017. The minimum wage in Rhode Island and Massachusetts is $8 per hour.

One mom's campaign to get a handicapped-accessible park has gotten a big boost, thanks to a donation by the Vandebilt Catholic High School Art Club.
One mom's campaign to get a handicapped-accessible park has gotten a big boost, thanks to a donation by the Vandebilt Catholic High School Art Club.
Erica Lambert, the mother of two handicapped children, is trying to raise money to install an "adaptive park" that will give children who are unable to climb stairs a playground that works for them.
The playground, to be located near Barrios Park, will be Houma's first adaptive park, including playground equipment specially designed for students with special needs. Lambert said the park will be built on a slope so wheelchair-bound children can get to the top of slides.
"We want a park that can work for everybody," Lambert said. "This park will have monkey bars and climbing things, but it will also have equipment for kids who can't do those things."
Lambert has property picked out. But the price is steep — $140,000.
She has raised money on her own through a series of fundraisers. When the Art Club at her alma mater, Vandebilt High School, got in touch with her, she soon had some allies.
The club made Lambert's park the focus of its annual Soup Bowl benefit. The club sold more than 250 hand-painted ceramic bowls and other wares in a silent auction. While the auction was happening, the club served dozens of different homemade soups and deserts.
By the time the dust settled, the club raised $10,000.
Christina McCain, art club president, said students worked for hours after school and on several weekends. McCain and her fellow art student veterans led five three-hour workshops where other students and volunteers would paint and fire the bowls.
"We had to work really hard to make sure we had that many bowls that people would actually want to buy," McCain said. "We packed the room for a couple of those sessions."
The club members said they donated to the park because they know what it will mean for the children it helps.
"It was great being able to do something we enjoy and we're passionate about and have it go to a good cause," said club curator Briana Garcia.
The club's donation was "huge," Lambert said.
"I'm just one person trying to raise this money. When this came in, it made me think 'maybe this can actually happen.' "
Lambert has raised $25,000 of the $140,000 price tag. She's planning a second 5K run in October and is trying to set up more fundraisers before then.
If you'd like to get involved or donate, email Lambert at email@example.com, or join the Facebook page "Houma's 1st Adaptive Park."

Fans of Portlandia may recall a recent episode in which its main characters (played by Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen) get a good look at their new cleaning lady. They think the cleaning lady might be — and realize that it actually is — the singer-songwriter Aimee Mann.
Mann has been making music since the 1980s; first, with the group 'Til Tuesday, and since then as an accomplished solo artist. Her latest album, Charmer, contains a series of character sketches — including the title track, about that person who draws you in and may even exploit you.
"I'm fascinated by charming people," Mann says. "They're fun to be around, they're entertaining, they pay attention to you. They're a glorious addition to any group, until you spend a certain amount of time with them and start to realize that it's essentially a construction. But I totally buy into it. I think 'charmer' is just another word for 'narcissist.'
"My husband is a really great narcissist spotter," Mann adds. "He can tell in an instant. It's part of my exploration, like, 'Why am I so susceptible to this? Is it that they're flattering? Do they tell the story so well that I want to believe it?' I don't know. It's interesting."
One-Way Ticket To 'Crazytown'
Mann says she's fascinated the "guy who's with the crazy girl." That's the topic of "Crazytown."
"The crazy girl, upon first glance, looks superfun, sexy, spontaneous, full of life — you know, vivacious," Mann says. "But then there's the corner that's turned, and by the end of the night, you're holding her hair while she vomits, and she's falling off her high heels, and that kind of thing.
"It's based on a friend of mine who had a friend who was starting to talk about — you know, in their communication, was like, 'I've just had it! I should just end it all! Nobody would care.' So it was a lot of these kind of suicidal semi-threats. It got so prevalent that finally he became really worried and called the police. And then, of course, she got furious at him, like, 'Why did you do that? I was just kidding. I didn't mean it.' I took that and made it into more of a semi-romantic thing, where this guy is just completely in over his head with this girl and the constant dramas and craziness that go with her."
Still, Mann says, it's not a one-sided situation. These people enable each other.
"You're coming to her; she's not coming to you," Mann says. "If you go to Crazytown, don't think you can just visit and come out and be unchanged. You're both going there, and that's where you're going to live."
A Moment In Time
Among the many themes on Charmer, Mann touches on loyalty — both in "Crazytown" and in the warm, Hammond B3-laden song "Labrador."
"You want to hang in there and make it work, so this song is about the moment where this guy realizes, 'I've got to get out of this, man,' " Mann says. "At the same time, [he] realizes his part in it — he kept coming back."
These songs capture a moment in time; a moment in someone's life. For Mann, the moment a song begins is often just before a performance.
"I start with music, where I'm just kind of playing chords on a guitar and just mumbling to myself," Mann says. "But I try to just think, 'What's the mood? What's the emotional tone? And what kind of story goes with that?' I mean, honestly, there's a song I just finished, and it's too depressing. You know, I'm in a pretty good mood. I can't play this thing today, because it's really bringing me down."
Fans of the television show "Portlandia" may recall a recent episode in which a man and woman get a good look at their new cleaning lady. First, they think the cleaning lady might be - and then realize it actually is - the singer Aimee Mann. She's been well-known since the 1980s, when she was in the group 'Til Tuesday; had the hit "Voices Carry." Since then, she's been acclaimed for more solo work, for the soundtrack to the movie "Magnolia," and more. But there she is - in the comedy program anyway, playing herself as the cleaning lady for characters Fred and Carrie.
CARRIE BROWNSTEIN: (as character) Why is she cleaning our house?
FRED ARMISEN: (as character) I think it's the music industry must be some - really suffering, or something. I don't know.
BROWNSTEIN: (as character) God, it's like you always read articles about it, and it's totally true.
ARMISEN: (as character) I don't read the whole articles, though. Parts of them...
BROWNSTEIN: (as character) I know. But the headlines are always like, the music industry is in the toilet.
ARMISEN: (as character) Right. I mean, that's as much as I read. But...
BROWNSTEIN: (as character) I feel like we should talk to her.
INSKEEP: Good advice. So let's talk with Aimee Mann. We tracked her down to talk about her new album, "Charmer." Many songs amount to character sketches - including the title track about that charismatic person who enchants you, draws you in, and may even exploit you.
AIMEE MANN: (Singing) When you're a charmer, the world applauds. They don't know that secretly, charmers feel like they're frauds...
INSKEEP: Talking about someone who's a charmer, and the darker side of that personality - what got you thinking about that?
MANN: Well, I'm fascinated by charming people. I mean, you know, they're fun to be around; they're entertaining; they pay attention to you. They're a glorious addition to any group - until you spend a certain amount of time with them and start to realize that it's essentially, a construction. But I totally buy into it and - because I think that...
INSKEEP: Meaning when someone's charming, that you buy the act. Is that what you're saying?
MANN: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And I can't, you know - also, like, charmer, I think, is just another word for narcissist. And my husband is really great - like, narcissist spotter. He can tell in an instant. So this is - it's part of my, you know, exploration. Like, why am I so susceptible to this? Is it - is it that they're flattering? Is it, they're - they tell the story so well that I want to believe it? I don't know. It's interesting.
INSKEEP: Do you hold your husband in front of you, like a metal detector, when you meet people; to just kind of see what his response is, and whether the alarm goes off?
MANN: Honestly, sometimes I do. Like, now I sort of know - like, if there's a too-good-to-be-true quality about somebody. I'll say, like, "I really want you to meet this guy" - because I think he's probably a narcissist, but I can't tell.
INSKEEP: Let's listen to a little bit of another song from this album. It's called "Crazytown."
MANN: (Singing) And you thought oh, it's so fun when you're writing songs for her. But now, son, you'll be posting bond, and for who? A girl who lives in Crazytown, where craziness gets handed down...
INSKEEP: What is the character you're trying to illuminate here?
MANN: Well, there's like, a dynamic that I'm always fascinated by - which is the guy who's with the crazy girl. Because the crazy girl, I think - upon first glance - looks super-fun, sexy, spontaneous, full of life, you know - like, vivacious. But then there's the corner that's turned. And by the end of the night, you're holding her hair while she vomits and - you know, like, she's falling off her high heels, and that kind of thing.
It's based on a friend of mine, who had a friend who was starting to sort of talk about - you know, in their communication - was like, you know, I've just had it; you know; I should just end it all; nobody would care. So there was a lot of these - kind of suicidal semi-threats. And it got so prevalent that finally, he - you know, became really worried and called the police. And then, of course, she got furious at him - like, why did you do that? I was just kidding; or, I didn't mean it.
So I sort of - I kind of took that, and made it into more of a semi-romantic thing; where this guy is just completely in over his head with this girl and - you know, and the constant dramas and craziness that go with her.
INSKEEP: And the way you describe it reminds me that in a relationship like that - that seems troubled - there are two people who are doing something that doesn't seem very healthy.
MANN: Yeah.
INSKEEP: They enable each other, in a way.
MANN: Yeah. Exactly, exactly. And the thing about Crazytown is like - you know, you're coming to her; she's not coming to you. (LAUGHTER) If you go to Crazytown, don't think you can just like, visit; and come out and be unchanged. Like, you're both going there, and then that's where you're going to live.
INSKEEP: You have another song here, called "Labrador."
INSKEEP: These songs by Aimee Mann capture a moment in time, a moment in someone's life. And for her, the moment a song begins is often, just before a performance.
MANN: I start with music, where I'm just kind of playing chords on a guitar, you know; and just mumbling to myself. But I - trying to just feel like, you know - to think, what's the mood? What's the emotional tone? And what kind of story goes with that? I mean, honestly - like, there's like, a song that I just finished; and it's too depressing. Like, I sort of like, you know what? I'm in a pretty good mood. I can't play this thing today because it's really bringing me down.
INSKEEP: Could you sing a line or two for us?
MANN: Um - I don't think I can, not without a guitar.
INSKEEP: Could you say a line or two for us?
MANN: Um - we're just campaigning for the win, the prizes of adrenaline. We act it out, so it stays in.
INSKEEP: Just campaigning for the win.
MANN: Yeah. This is two people just going round and round on their thing; you know, like that - sort of jockeying for position that you do in relationships, sometimes.
INSKEEP: And you just happened to write about that during this political season.
MANN: It's got a flavor.
INSKEEP: Taking in the atmosphere a little bit.
MANN: Yeah, we're babies passing for adults, who've loaded up their catapults and can't believe the end results.
INSKEEP: Hmm.
MANN: Yeah, I guess it sounds a little more political than I intended.
INSKEEP: Aimee Mann's new album, "Charmer," is out tomorrow, and you can hear it now at NPR.org.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.

Can some one explain this to me:
"Because there exists a QB who became a worse player after his best season, therefor anyone who had a season comparable to that player's best season must be a bad player."
That's what I'm hearing over and over. Matt Cassel had a good season and then he sucked. We all know that. Why does that have to do with anything else? Does every personnel guy who studies game film have to go, "Wait. This guy had a season who's numbers are comparable to this Matt Cassel guy's numbers from his best season. Hold on. That must mean that this guy is going to become a bad player." Huh? What? Why would Dorsey or Reid care one bit about what happened to one specific guy who has nothing to do with their 2013 KC Chiefs? So this particular guy we're talking about happens to have been a Chief. How does that mean he has some magical ability to rub off his lack of mojo onto some one else any more than anyone else? Why not cherry pick some QB who then went on to be a better player? Who cares about Matt Cassel!

Colin Fletcher
TRAINING: I spent a lot of time in Australia while I was there, and I met a strange fellow by the name of Russell Bandingo. He taught me some unbelievable training methods, like wrestling fish off an octopus and strapping meat to myself and swimming away from crocodiles to improve my cardio.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training for MMA about six years ago. I've always loved fighting in one form or another, and when I started MMA, I wasn't keen at first, as it's harder than it looks. So, as a super competitive person, I had to get better at it and there's always something new to learn. It constantly keeps me thinking, which distracts me from doing weird stuff all the time.
What ranks and titles have you held? At one time I was the Total Combat welterweight British champ and their lightweight European champ, as well as the Strike and Submit welterweight British champ, all at the same time. TUF Smashes lightweight finalist
Do you have any heroes? My heroes are David Bowie, Chuck Norris, and my wife.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Fighting in the UFC means the world to me. It's a chance to provide for my family and do what I love, and at the same time it's a dream come true. I finally get to test myself out against the best fighters and show the world what I'm all about.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I didn't go to college. I'm not very academic; I'm more of a goofy, idiotic, artistic type. I like to make people laugh, and I'm a clown inside and out.
What was your job before you started fighting? I've had a few different jobs before and whilst doing MMA. I was a night club DJ, a nightclub doorman, then a bus driver for a year when I thought I should be sensible and provide for my family, but that made me miserable, so my wife told me to quit and give my dreams a shot.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? I believe my biggest accomplishment has been to get into the TUF Smashes TV show and not make a complete Burke out of myself. And make it to the finale.
Favorite grappling technique: My favorite grappling technique is the brabo / D'arce choke, as I have super long stringy arms so I can get them really easy.
Favorite Striking technique: I love all striking techniques, especially spinning back fists/elbows/kicks, and flying knees also

Deion Sanders Wants to Pay Less Child Support; Pilar Sanders Wants Him to Pay More
All has been quiet on the Sanders' front since a judge ordered Deion to pay roughly $10k a month in Child Support to Pilar Sanders. Prime though says that is 6x more than is required by Texas Law and filed court papers according to TMZ to have his payments reduced.
While Deion is trying to give Pilar less money, she has filed her own papers to get more money.
Pilar says Deion is not telling the TRUTH about how much money he really has and is worth over $250 million.
My opinion is that the original judgment seemed about right and neither one of them should be trying to increase or decrease the payments.
FYI they are still legally married even though Prime has moved on with Tracey Edmonds.

There have been a number of Walnut Street houses, at least the South Walnut street area, but we'll move north about 10 blocks. This next house was the largest of the group so far. Marshall Darlington Strode was my 1st cousin, twice removed.
Three 'surnames' in one name, is of interest, certainly the Darlington / Strode connection, but Marshall as a given name is also through out my tree. "Just down the road a piece" is Marshallton. Wonder if there is a connection there?
At this point, this household was at this address in the 1940 Census, but the family was there in 1935 according to the 1940 Census information.
All four members of the household had college education.
Could not get a 'tree less' or fewer trees to see the beauty of this house.

Fleeing on a moment's notice from her home on Pleasant Park Road was taxing enough for Conifer resident Tracy McCandless. But the task of relocating five horses and a cat caused her stress level to rise exponentially.
Fortunately for McCandless and numerous other residents, volunteer teams of animal rescuers were prepared to help evacuate animals in the midst of the deadly Lower North Fork Fire.
"It's nothing you can be prepared for. I left my house without a credit card and ended up sleeping in my truck the first night, because I couldn't check into a hotel, and you can't get back into your house," said McCandless, who with the help of volunteers from the Jefferson County Horse Evacuation Assistance Team transferred her horses to the Jeffco Fairgrounds. "It's really hard to get information. … You're just completely cut off from everything," she added about not being allowed to return home for several days.
With almost immediate help, loading the horses onto trailers was an efficient process, she said.
"I have five horses and a two-horse trailer. I told the sheriff that I wouldn't mind some help. Within five minutes one of their volunteers showed up at my house," McCandless said. "We had all five horses loaded in a matter of minutes. … They knew what they were doing."
Among the 900 homes that were evacuated at the peak of the blaze, 28 structures were destroyed. McCandless' house was spared, and she had returned home by the week's end. Nonetheless, she waited to retrieve her horses until the weekend's predicted high winds abated.
"It's a huge weight lifted to know that your house is all right, but at the same time it's a bit of a struggle, because you want to make sure your horses and pets are taken care of," she said.
Taking care of her 18-pound cat, Sasquatch, who has diabetes, were workers at Foothills Animal Shelter, who provided insulin injections every 12 hours and a thorough physical examination.
"I brought him when I brought the horses to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds," McCandless said. "It was at least midnight when I showed up. … They were still there waiting for people to bring animals in at such a horrible late hour."
But a diabetic cat was only a small part of the shelter's sporadic workload. From 12 pet owners, Foothills took in 65 critters, including four salamanders, nine koi fish, 21 chickens, five geese and 26 cats and dogs. As of Monday all but the 21 chickens had been returned to their homes.
"We have folks on board who are familiar with poultry standards," said Foothills' spokeswoman, Jennifer Strickland. "It's not the first time we've had chickens. We were prepared for it."
Outside, along the shelter's north wall, sat four wire enclosures normally occupied by adoptable dogs. Under plastic tarps draped over the top to block the sun, about 10 chickens paced, pecking for grain through a thin layer of straw. In an enclosure adjacent to them, five white geese took turns splashing and tossing their beaks in a turquoise children's pool.
Brought in with the chickens and geese from the same owner were seven large mutts, most of which were sled dogs.
"We're really glad that we're able to help pet owners who were affected by the fire," Strickland said. "They were very relieved that they didn't have to worry about the care of the animals."
The number of fire evacuees was the largest in the new shelter's history, if not that of the organization. Nonetheless, Foothills was not strained for space, Strickland said.
And McCandless was indeed relieved to have space for her special-needs cat and five horses, three of whom she recently adopted. The animals usually roam over more than 35 acres she shares with her parents, who live next to her.
"They're more pasture ornaments. … Three of them are rescue horses that I've taken in over the last few years," she said, noting that one is a 30-year-old retired racing horse. "I think he was on his way to the dog-food factory or the auction. I thought he was cute. … The other two were being starved to death in a field last year, and I came and got them."
Though McCandless was not looking forward to the process of moving her horses back to her property up the hill, having them cared for during a disaster gave her piece of mind, she said.
"I wish all the happy warm thoughts you can think of toward them," she said of Foothills and the fairgrounds staff. "It's such a relief knowing you don't have to worry."

For local mix martial arts fighter Beau Hamilton, MMA is in his blood.
There's nothing quite like stepping into a ring and duking it out with an opponent, he said.
"I would do this for free," Beau said. "It's just something that's in you. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't. It's a passion for me."
Hamilton, who lives in Montague, is taking a 2-2 record as a MMA pro to the King of the Cage Fighting Legends bout on April 13 in Oroville Calif., at the Gold Country Casino and will face Dan Price in a main card bout. The fight is in the 160 pound division. Price comes in at 6-4. The match is set to run on national television on MAVTV along with the other main card fights.
"This is a pretty big fight for me," Beau said. "I'm excited about it. A lot of UFC fighters have fought in King of the Cage matches."
Beau is heading to Oroville a few days early so he can meet with the media and talk about the bout. Hamilton said that it will be a new experience for him and said he a bit nervous but excited knowing he will be fighting on TV.
"It still haven't sunk in yet," he said.
Hamilton said a victory could help him get more fights and perhaps being an MMA fighter as a full time occupation. Currently, Hamilton said he also does odd jobs to make ends meet.
"I want to work my way up and make this my career," he said.
Hamilton said he certainly would like a career like his close friend, D.J. Linderman, who won a MMA title last year. Linderman recently moved from Yreka to Texas and has two pro bouts coming up. A story on D.J. ran in the Daily News last week.
Hamilton said he still constantly talks to Linderman and said he has been a great encouragement to him as he prepares for his bout.
Hamilton has been hard at work training at Dosomthin Athletics Gym in Yreka. He is working with longtime friend Tommy Davis, who founded the gym, in preparation for the bout against Price.
"Beau has been with me and the gym since day one," Davis said. "We fought our very first fights together. He has a ton of experience and is still very young. Beau could be the next big thing out of our gym."
Hamilton said that Davis has done a terrific job getting him ready for Oroville. It means a lot to have a good friend like Davis that has so much experience being in his corner, he said.
"He's able to bring out the most of your abilities," Hamilton said.
Davis said he has been very impressed with how sharp Hamilton has looked while training and expects him to perform well in the bout.
"He's very exciting to watch," Davis said about Hamilton. "He always brings it. He can finish guys from anywhere he wants to. April 13 will be Beau's biggest fight to date. He's hungry. He's in good shape and I'm expecting a win by finish."
Hamilton has previously fought a few pro boxing matches. At this time, Hamilton said he has decided to not pursue pro boxing and put all his efforts into his pro MMA career. Additional information on the fight can be found at www.kingofthecage.com. For more info on dosomthin go to www.dosomthinathletics.com

|Head Coach Lon Kruger
Opening Statement:
"A lot of guys made good plays and we knew coming in that Tech was going to be a tough challenge. We opened the ball game well, and then Tech makes a nice run. I thought our guys responded to that run well. Then in the second half it was just a battle. We couldn't quite get the margin we needed, and Tech hung in there and played awfully hard. I thought a lot of our guys made good plays and shot the ball well and kept just enough of a lead to keep Tech from making that big time push."
On this being the best offensive game they have had in a while:
"The guys really moved the ball well. I thought they made the extra pass and shot with confidence. They made a lot of good plays for one another. Anytime you put up 17 assists that's a big number. You like to see that, but you have to get good ball movement. And when you make the extra pass, a lot of times the shooter has real good rhythm and shoots it better. I think that happened a few times tonight."
On his impression of Josh Gray:
"He is a terrific player, not just a terrific young player but, just a terrific player. He is the kind of guy that keeps pressure on you all the time and he's very quick with the ball. He has a good ability to get in the paint and finish plays and is very tough to stay in front of. He is a terrific young player"
|Senior Forward Romero Osby
On adjusting to playing in the paint tonight with all the fouls called:
"It was just something that you have to adjust to. It was a lot of whistles and you have to credit the referees tonight because, there were only 2 of them and they had to work hard to see everything. I think they did a good job officiating the game and I just think it is something you have to get adjusted to. We got into a little foul trouble but, you know we played through it and it ended up working out for us and we got the win so I don't have any complaints."
On Amath M'Baye's play tonight:
"He played great. Sometimes he gets down on himself but, we try to stay in his ear about keep playing because, he is talented enough to do that on a nightly basis and tonight he played really really well and he looked like the old Amath. So we were excited to see that for him and happy for him. And especially going down the stretch he is going to be big for us."
|Senior Guard Steven Pledger
On having Sam Grooms step up in tonight's game:
"It was huge. He is one of those guys who continue to work and we have been on him about keeping his head up because, in his mind he hasn't been playing well and sometimes he just lets things elevate in his mind. So we have just been telling him to keep playing with confidence and keep running the team. And when he gets the chance to shoot open shots for him to knock them down, and he has been doing it and it has been huge for us the last couple games."
On what's working offensively for him:
"I am getting my feet right and my mindset right going into every shot. I have been doing a lot of thinking and so I just have to calm myself down and just let it go."
|Senior Guard Sam Grooms
On what he said to Josh Gray after the game and what he thinks of him:
"I think he is good. Obviously his play is tremendous for his team and he leads his team. He makes them go. When we hugged I told him to keep his head up and that just because it doesn't look right, right now, it doesn't mean it won't look good in the future and upcoming years. And I told him to keep playing as hard as he can because, people see that and perception is reality for him right now."
On what he said to Isaiah Cousins to pick him up:
"Being a point guard is tough. If he is out there making plays and everything is going right then everyone would have praised him but, I had to explain to him that even though it is tough right now, it is not as bad as it looks. You made a couple mistakes and did a couple things, but now you have to regroup from it and understand that you have tomorrow and you have to get better. I tried to pick him up as much as I can because I have been there before."
On what he saw from Amath M'Baye tonight and him getting his first double-double:
"I am excited for him, that's big. He has been down on himself lately and he hasn't been doing what he thinks he should do and as well as he thinks he should. These three seniors right here have been on him too, to play like that. I am really happy for him. He went out there and played hard and he dominated. Although he didn't do it before, tonight he did it. I am looking forward to having him the rest of the year."
|Texas Tech Head Coach Chris Walker
Opening Statement:
"Credit to Oklahoma, they're an NCAA Tournament team and the reason why I love coaching in the Big 12 and my players love playing in the Big 12 is they get to play against teams of this magnitude and I get to coach against coaches like Lon Kruger, they were just extremely efficient tonight. They made every shot, every time we thought we could make them do something different they made the shot and conversely we came down and made a couple of crucial turnovers and a couple of layups here and there and the number one crux was the foul line. We just have team that it's not the talent level it's the toughness level for us. I thought we could have taken some charges and sometimes you just have to will the other team to miss and we couldn't will them to miss and when they did miss a couple offensive rebounds here and there and because our margin of error is so small that we need everything to go right for us to get a win. I thought we were competitive tonight but like I told the guys tonight they are playing hard but it's the smart factor that we are missing and you can't rush experience and I'm looking at Oklahoma and thinking a couple of more pieces and a more couple of players here and there and we can be just where Oklahoma is next year, and that's what I feel, but right now in the present I think my job is to motivate these guys and to come out and play hard every single game and give it their all and if we can make a couple of shots and a couple of things can go our way and make shots at the foul line it'd be different but every time we miss a two or missing a three it's like missing a 10 and it's a big deal for us when we miss and we just have to keep plugging. I believe in my guys, they're going to come out and practice their tails off and we have a tough couple of road games coming up. We are playing two tournament teams coming up, it's what the Big 12 is and I'm confident that our guys are going to go out and play hard and represent us the right way and we'll see what happens when we get there this weekend."
On how difficult it is for Texas Tech to bounce back after a couple of missed shots:
"When we miss layups, it's hard for us to get them and manufacture them because we have so many new players out there that really can't create their own shot. Josh Gray might be the only guy that can create his own shot but sometimes he shoots it too much and sometimes he gets to the rim and he misses people sometimes and it's just inexperience and we just have to continue to work on finishing and then we did a great job of getting to the foul line, 28 times, but missed our foul shots. We are not a team that makes three's but we made six of them tonight and then we are not a team that gets to the foul line and we had 28 shots, so there's the formula right there, you make six three's and you shoot 28 free throws, the question is why do you lose. It's just toughness on defense, you have to will them to miss, that's the bottom line and then they beat us on the glass but it wasn't tremendous where they were killing us on second-chance points, it was just bottom line they shot around 53 percent from the field and we have to get them around 40."
On Josh Gray taking over the offense the second half:
"It was good. I know he can do that and it was good to see him do it. What he have to work on and it's not being critical but because he demands so much attention we have to get him to make plays for other people and it seems, I don't know this, but if I were in the Oklahoma locker room I believe they probably said stay with the shooters and make Gray make every shot and finish. He's a small guard and he'll make some but over time, he was 10-for-22 and for a freshman for him to do what he did, 26, five, one, and four steals that's an unbelievable game for a freshman and I'd like to see any other freshman in the country who's had that game other than Demarcus Smart. I'm not criticizing Josh Gray, I'm saying that for us to win I'd rather him score 15 points and have 12 assists, for us to win, that's the formula for Texas Tech to win, but in this particular game I definitely want to give him credit for the way he played."

Justin Bieber's had two cookie jars stuffed with marijuana when cops raided his Los Angeles mansion last week, according to the New York Daily News.
That's right — a 19-year-old kid with more money than any of us can possibly imagine having has pot. You know, the grass, the weed, the bud, the Maui wowie, the chronic, the reefer, the wacky tobacky, the ...
Anyway, a source reportedly told TMZ that when Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies served a search warrant related to Bieber's alleged egg-throwing dispute with his neighbor the previous week, two large cookie jars loaded with marijuana sat in plain view of the dozen detectives.
They also reportedly discovered four or five empty codeine bottles, along with empty Fanta bottles, according to TMZ.
That's incredible — I almost can't believe that. I mean ... someone still drinks Fanta?
The Fanta bottles appeared to be discolored by the codeine, which is reportedly a sign they were used to mix the narcotic drink known as sizzurp, also called "lean."
Apparently, Bieber wasn't busted because deputies were looking for surveillance equipment and other evidence that could link Bieber to the egging of his neighbor's house.
That's right — in L.A., drugs aren't such a big deal. But toss an egg at some rich guy's house and all hell breaks loose.
"It's pretty widely known the kid smokes weed," Lt. David Thompson, the lead detective on the case, told the Daily News Thursday.
"We're not doing some big sting on Justin Bieber," Thompson said. "We didn't go opening containers and pulling out drawers. This was about the egging."
It was no big sting. I mean, 11 cops cars showed up, but since all crime in L.A. has been eliminated, it was no big sting.
According to TMZ, authorities also found one bong in the TV room, two bongs in the kitchen, a dedicated smoking room outfitted with hookah pipes and special cigars used for making blunts.
I have a feeling Justin Bieber smokes stuff.
According to the Daily News, Thompson said Bieber's 20-year-old sidekick Lil Za was arrested at the scene because drugs were found in his bedroom, and the aspiring rapper allegedly admitted they were his.
"It was right in our face," Lt. Thompson said.
Officials have said the drugs allegedly belonging to Lil Za, initially thought to be cocaine, turned out to be "Molly," a powdered form of Ecstasy, and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, for which Mr. Za did not have a prescription. The rapper was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony drug possession Tuesday, then got slapped with a charge of felony vandalism for allegedly damaging a wall phone in his holding cell.
Bieber is being investigated for allegedly throwing more than 20 eggs at his neighbor's house two weeks ago. Because there was more than $400 in damage, the singer could be facing felony charges. Bieber's neighbor supposedly videotaped part of the egging attack. Police seized security footage from Bieber's house and are examining it.

The No. 1 preventable cause of death in America is tobacco use. On Sept. 22, an effort by the United States Food and Drug Administration was made to protect America's young. A ban on candy and fruit flavored cigarettes was authorized by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
According to the act, it is against the law for any cigarette sold in the United States to have a flavor consisting of natural, artificial, herb or spice.
