LoFo to Serve Thousands at Phish's Magna Ball Concert; "Local Food Love Food" the Focus
Wednesday, August 19, 2015
Syracuse, NY - The national spotlight shines on LoFo, a popular farm-to-table restaurant in Armory Square. The talents of LoFo owner and chef Abigail Hensen, Executive Chef Luke Szabo, and the entire LoFo family have been tapped to prepare cuisine for a three-day music festival in Watkins Glen, led by the popular jam band, Phish.
LoFo will run a full-service restaurant, serving brunch, lunch and a five-course dinner each night of the festival – August 21 through August 23 - as well as dinner the night before.
LoFo, located at 125 Walton Street in Downtown Syracuse, prides itself on two things: Local Food and Local Focus.
"LoFo stands for both of those things, but it's about more than local food. A lot of times, it means who is behind the food," Abigail Hensen, the owner, explains.
Established in 2012, LoFo serves ethically sourced, humanely raised meats and plant-based fare in a casual Downtown atmosphere.
"The idea is that regardless of your dietary restrictions, we're all eating at the same table," Abigail says. "Food is a thing that connects us, so regardless if you're gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, or if you love your steak, you're able to eat
something that feels like a celebration."
Abigail elaborated on that mission in a recent interview, featured in the January edition of Edible Finger Lakes Magazine. That article landed in front of Phish - and the rest is history.
The band told Abigail they had picked up a copy of the magazine - knowing not only that they would play to a crowd of more than 40,000 people in the area in just a few months' time, but that they wanted to offer farm-to-table sit down meals as part of the experience – hoping to find a local restaurant to work with. The band admired LoFo's dedication to use food as the link to connect farmers and foodies to the community.
Each night's menu showcases different options to suit vegan, vegetarian and omnivore palettes. The meals are inspired by Phish songs and lyrics. All food comes from local farmers, true to LoFo's mission, and showcases Finger Lakes tastes. Dinner tickets, which cost $122, may be purchased through the Magna Ball website, where all menus are also displayed. Phish is branding the dining experience as "Festival Ate."
"Many of these people have been following Phish for decades," Abigail says. "They're getting to a more sophisticated, affluent age, where they don't just want to eat a funnel cake. That's why Phish is giving them this as part of the experience."
Though Abigail has been planning for this experience for much of the summer – expanding her team of eight people to a staff of 40 to meet the needs of the undertaking - meal preparations officially stared last week. This includes chopping vegetables to add to the 1,000+ Beet Burgers (renamed as the Dirt Burger) that the team will serve at the festival.
LoFo will close for almost two weeks to dedicate all efforts to feeding Phish fans (More than 40,000 people are expected to attend the festival!). The goal is to re-open by Friday, August 28. Abigail says there are plans to repeat the themed dinners later this year for LoFo guests who wish to be part of the experience, but may not be able to travel to Watkins Glen.
Traditionally, LoFo is open from 10:30 am to 8:30 pm, Wednesday through Saturday in Downtown Syracuse. It also serves Brunch from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm every Sunday.

As teens try to navigate our body obsessed culture, many loose their way, and eating disorders are not uncommon. It is not always easy for parents to know when to intervene and call the experts to help.
"There is no guidebook for how to tell if your child is secretly struggling with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Eating disorders often thrive on secrecy and silence. Many children may be unaware themselves that they are starting to slip into a life-threatening mental illness.?"

Section 401 Water Quality Certification
The state of Washington works with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing process for hydropower dams. When an applicant requests a license, either to re-license an existing dam or for new construction, Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) works with the utility, reviews studies, analyses and plans. If Ecology determines that water quality standards are attainable, a 401 Certification (referring to Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act) is issued with conditions to ensure that the standards will be met. These conditions become part of the new FERC license.

UNH football makes it 14 straight FCS playoff bids, good for longest in the nation
The University of New Hampshire's streak now stands at 14.
Despite a 15-0 loss at Albany on Saturday that clouded their playoff hopes, the Wildcats' emotions turned 180 degrees on Sunday when they were awarded an at-large berth in the upcoming NCAA FCS playoffs. UNH earned a home game, to boot, and will play Central Connecticut State University on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET at Wildcat Stadium.
The NCAA appearance will be UNH's 14th straight, which is the longest current streak in the nation. It marks the Wildcats' 18th in program history.
UNH, ranked 21st nationally in the latest FCS poll, is 7-4 overall and finished 5-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association. UNH was one of four clubs from the conference to be selected; the other three — No. 1 overall seed James Madison (8-0, 11-0 overall), Stony Brook (7-1, 9-2 overall) and Elon (6-2, 8-3) — finished above UNH in the league standings.

My most beloved garden was honored in this month's Hill Rag magazine as one of "Five Great Corner Gardens: Our Annual Paen to the Hill's Urban Gardeners." The garden is the parsonage for the pastor of Capitol Hill United Methodist Church. I designed the garden in collaboration with the previous pastor Ginger Gaines Cirelli and her husband Anthony. Ginger and Anthony were both avid cooks, so the idea for the garden was to combine an herb garden with an oramental flower garden.
This garden concept was popular for church gardens in Charlemagne's time. In France, they are called jardins de cure or jardins de simple in reference to the unpretentious gardens the priest cultivated in the churchyard. These gardens used both edible and medicinal plants as well as flowers for the altar. Food writer Patricia Wells described these lost medieval gardens, "Whatever is grown in a traditional jardin de cure, it should give the impression of profusion, mystery, and surprise and evoke the simple pleasures of life."
|Hakonechloa macra, Chasmanthium latifolium, Hydrangea 'Limelight', Acanthus hungaricus, Nepeta 'Walker's Low', and Nasella tenuissima.
The Hill Rag writes:
This is a great example of beach garden meets Victorian herb garden. The garden is well proportioned since it sits on a raised wall and the homeowners have made sure there are not any oversized plantings. The garden skirts the home and is a melding of the best of two garden styles. The grasses and bear's breeches are reminiscent of a beach side garden. The roses and annuals would be found in the best of both garden styles and the lavender and mint are perfect specimens of the formal herb garden. Large oversized field stone steppers are both functional and add the right amount of drama. The garden is full and lush, but not messy and unkempt. Urban tranquility. Derek Thomas

KARLOVY VARY 2017 Out of Competition
Song of Granite: Celebrating a life in song
by Giampietro Balia
- KARLOVY VARY 2017: Pat Collins recounts the life of great traditional Irish singer Joe Heaney, against the backdrop of a stunning black-and-white Ireland
After its world premiere in the 24 Beats Per Second section of the Austin-based SXSW Film Festival, Song of Granite [+see also:
film profile] landed in the official selection of the 52nd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it promised to leave its audience speechless with its meticulous black-and-white cinematography and dulcet Irish traditional music. The director, Cork native Pat Collins, recounts the life and work of great traditional Irish singer Joe Heaney, interweaving his story with the landscapes, the culture and the hallmarks of the Gaelic community inhabiting the Irish region of Connemara.
Far from being a biopic per se, Song of Granite feels more like an ethnic observational documentary blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality. The first act of the film follows the childhood of Heaney, a key figure spearheading the Sean-Nós tradition, as he grows into a man in the remote, poverty-stricken village of Carna in the Irish-speaking district of Connemara, on the west coast of Ireland. A stunning high-contrast, black-and-white landscape made up of the mountains and fields surrounding the area sets the mood for a highly stylised film that dwells on the cultural identity and practices of the people of Ireland over the course of the last century. One scene in particular shows Heaney at school during a Religious Education class, as the teacher indoctrinates the kids, asking them to repeat definitions of God and how to behave. This is also the point when he discovers his love for singing, but he tends to shy away from performing in public. Distancing itself from most traditional biopics, Song of Granite is a heartfelt tribute to Heaney's roots and the music becomes the guiding thread that connects the episodes of the movie. The audience is welcomed inside houses, London pubs and Irish courtyards to participate in what is nothing less than a love letter to the director's island.
The singing throughout the film is hypnotic and meditative – especially when the songs are in Irish. In conjunction with this, Richard Kendrick's dexterous cinematography enhances the suggestive and cathartic function of the music. The visuals and the score are what have the power to captivate even an audience unfamiliar with Heaney's work, luring them into his magical world of folksong. The multifaceted personality of Joe Heaney, aka Joe Éinniú or, in Gaelic, Seosamh Ó hÉanaí, is reflected by his musical production, and it is portrayed in the film as a powerful yet necessary condition for his success. A skilful and well-balanced mix of fiction and archival footage gives the feeling of being as close as one can be to meeting Heaney in the flesh.
Staged by Irish outfit Marcie Films, Song of Granite will surely attract the attention of the Sean-Nós song-loving audience, but thanks to its artistic value, it will most likely remain in the festival circuit a while longer before hitting theatres.

Hugh Grant not only failed to recognize Renée Zellweger in a photo, he dissed her
Hugh Grant comes off as kind of a dick in his most recent interview, TBH.
More: Hugh Grant opens up about love child No. 3
Grant appeared on Watch What Happens: Live to promote his new film this week, but he actually spent more of his interview saying gross things about women and dissing his former female co-stars, especially Renée Zellweger. Grant and Zellweger starred alongside one another in the first two Bridget Jones movies, and Bridget Jones's Baby is Zellweger's latest endeavor, while Grant declined to participate in the film.
The script "did come to me and they had a lovely idea for a film," Grant admitted, but he continued, "I'm particularly difficult and queeny when it comes to scripts, and I couldn't quite make the script work for me so they then made it without me, and that's brilliant."
That low-key shade wasn't the only dig he made at Zellweger. During another part of the show, Grant was asked to look at photos of parts of the faces of his six most famous co-stars — Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Julianne Moore, and of course, Zellweger — and identify them.
"Who is the one second from the right, because I've never seen her before in my life." he said when asked about a photo of Zellweger's forehead. "Oh, Renée!"

That incident really doesn't make it very surprising that Grant joked about all his former co-stars, "They all hate me, I think."
The rest of the interview was spent giving his opinion of all kinds of women and situations with women, as if anyone wanted Grant to say another word. When asked whether he'd ever hooked up with a fan, his response was an enthusiastic, "Oh, God, yes!" When asked whether he likes American women, he replied, "The chubbier the better." And on his social life, which includes mixing with the ladies of The Real Housewives of New York? "They love me, those housewives. Wherever I go, I bump into a housewife... I may end up with one, yeah."

Prospect List Review
I've written my thoughts on prospect lists too many times, even on this blog to an extent. They are never going to be a true measure of anything. They are designed for the general public and for discussion. As the fantasy ranks have grown in numbers and evolved in knowledge, so has the popularity of the lists. Yes, the fantasy sports culture is very much list bound.
Seen as they are for discussion, lets review the latest professional entry, the Milb Top-50 by Jonathan Mayo, who can also be found on MLBlog.com with Lisa Winston at He Said, She Said. Unlike years past, I don't have a list I'm representing and this affords me the autonomy and opportunity for review, although I'm not a huge fan of critics in general, and am feeling a little loathsome in their skin at present.
First off, I don't know Jonathan that well, but listen to him on the radio and like him from afar as being both knowledgeable and fearless of the critics, the Stone Cold Steve Austin of minor league prospect guys including the easy to manage bare-skull look. I've maintained a personal preference to lists that are prepared in the winter, as most of the minor league guys that are good at it do so at the behest of spring publishing deadlines, but I'm not adversed to reviewing this one at face value given where it originated.
Delmon Young tops the list at number one – It's my opinion that you can't win a fantasy league with the first pick or first round selection, you can only lose from this spot. In Young you have the safest pick, and the only one possible following that opinion applied to prospect lists.
The top 10 skews to near-ready types which is the correct idea given the trials and tribulations that the guys right out of the draft will endure. And a quip not directed at this list but to the masses in general, is the notation on Francisco Liriano and the comparison to Johan Santana. Not that I disagree with it for a second, but who other than myself was on Santana back in the day? If you want the truth they are not historically comparable stat-wise at all. Johann came right out of high Single-A to join the back of the Twins bullpen at the beginning of the decade. His minor league numbers were mediocre, and I was the only guy I knew of that studied him, liked him guardedly, and only because I had/have an obsession with strikeouts-per-nine. Any power starter with an eight-plus in the minors gets a close look, but I don't recommend that for your average stat peruser, as it's a fairy detailed stat/scouting methodology after the number is revealed. Back to the review, I digress too often it seems.
I'm not going to get too bound up in nit picking. I personally like
Chad Billingsley more than Justin Verlander, but many do not, and I might have chosen Verlander over the young Dodger any way for the fact he's already arrived. I would also suggest that Joel Guzman is too far down, but then I don't see Scott Olsen or Yusmeiro Petit, and I really like that for I'm nowhere near as high on either as many seem to be. I've been criticised for that belief but still maintain my stubbornness. I don't see Olsen with enough advanced pitches to not take a beating in the overall at present, and don't envision Petit's stuff will make him anything but a number three at best, and Ricky Nolasco might actually be a safer bet in the Marlins system. Not that Nolasco is likely to be anything but a middle-rotation guy, and that certainly doesn't warrant an inclusion on a list.
My feelings on Josh Barfield's lack of attention have been well documented and not only is this list no exception to the many I talked about previously, but others have already conveyed same sentiments to Jonathan for the lack of inclusion. No sense beating that dead horse, his list represents the more popular view, and the world of prospect lists is not going to change because I think there's been an omission. The one inclusion I noted in the Yeah, Good Job category is outfielder Carlos Gonzalez of the Diamondbacks. It's really early in his career having just turned 20 in the off-season and heading to high Single-A in 2006, but he's a guy to watch for power potential despite the clouded long term outfield situation in Arizona, made worse by the recent news that Justin Upton might be heading to center field this year. I'm not going to comment on a personal disdain for the long-term prognosis of Fausto Carmona. It's Jonathan's right to take his candidate for the last spot at number 50. Often a prospect list's last pick is a hunch of the preparer and you have to respect that. After all, who among us can say with 100 percent certainty it's dead wrong?
Overall I liked this list. It's nowhere near suspect and seems to have its fair share of thought put into it. I've been scornful of some offered on the free sites this year for having neither original thought nor methodology applied. But this one is worthy of critiques and discussion, which I'm confident Mr. Mayo is up for.

Homeland Review: It Feels GoodDan Forcella at . Comments
I had two major concerns coming into the second season of Homeland:
- Whether The Powers That Be could come up with a story as earnestly interesting as the phenomenal one they came up with to start the series.
- Whether they could continue to jerk the viewer around as incredibly as they did in Homeland Season 1 now that he/isn't he question regarding Brody wasn't relevant anymore.
Through five episodes, it is obvious that the story telling has been just as tremendous, partly due to the fabulous risks they haven't taken in terms of pacing. And after watching "Q&A," it's clear the writers can get viewers all turned around no matter what the issue is.
With something as seemingly simple as the interrogation of Brody, the series still managed to make me unable able to figure everything out.
At first I was angry Carrie didn't get to take lead, and then I quickly changed my mind because Quinn's calm demeanor intrigued me. I never saw his subsequent fit of rage coming, and thought to myself: 'Well they had to write that in so that Carrie would be able to get in on the interrogation.'
When it was revealed that Quinn was simply playing bad cop, it became obvious that a) he's really good at his job, and b) Homeland can misdirect the viewer at even the most unexpected times.
I would be remiss if I didn't confirm that not only was all of that interrogation incredibly written, but it was also unsurprisingly superbly acted. Those moments when Carrie and Brody were crying together? They were heart-pumping and heart-breaking all at the same time.
The more Carrie went on and on about how in love with him she was, the more I started to wonder how much of that conversation was performance and how much was straight up truth. I could be convinced of a lot of things at this point. Claire Danes is that good, and this character is that confusing emotionally.
Was she totally BSing Brody? Playing him with every word? Or is she truly that empathetic? Or that damaged? Were her feelings ever real? Are they still? The layered characters force us to ask that question and, best yet, the show itself will likely never answer them. There is so simple answer.
As great as all of it was, though, don't you think they could have gotten the same result by simply giving him the ultimatum at the very beginning? "We have this tape of you saying you are a terrorist, we can either take you to court or you can help us with Nazir."
Sure, getting him more emotionally drained and attached might help in getting him to actually work at assisting the CIA, but I don't think it was needed to get him to agree to that. But then again, maybe if Carrie hadn't reminded him about his true feelings for his family he wouldn't have cared if he took this thing to trial. Maybe.
Now that he is in, I am most interested to see what happens between Brody and Carrie. The fact that their cover is that they're having an affair should make things even more complicated. How will that play into their real feelings, especially Carrie's? Color me intrigued.
While all of that was going on, Dana also got into a bit fun. Well, she and Finn called it fun. I call it reckless driving and manslaughter. If that's what kids are calling fun these days, I'm glad I'm an old timer. Where's Xander with the pot when you need him, right?
What do you all think about what happened with Dana and Finn? What was your favorite part about the interrogation? And how darn good has Homeland Season 2 been?!? Sound off in the comments.

Investigations have revealed that the actions of Nigerian chief justice influenced the decision of the Gambian Supreme Court not to entertain the suit by President Yahya Jammeh seeking to annul the result of an election.
The Gambian Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of the petition filed by country's ruling party, the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction, and Mr. Jammeh, challenging the election results.
The major reason given by the Supreme Court was that it could not constitute the constitutionally required quorum.
As earlier reported that the five Nigerian judges hired by Gambian dictator, Yahya Jammeh, to help him with election case shunned going to Banjul, The Gambian city for the Supreme Court sitting.
However, Premium Times investigation in Nigeria confirmed that the office of the Chief Justice did receive the Gambian request last year.
But a reply sent last Thursday by Nigeria's Acting Chief Justice, Walter Onnoghen, that virtually ruled out any possibility of forming a quorum in the Gambian Supreme Court before the expected January 19 handing over date.

When will I be famous?
Maybe I caught the amateur performance bug posing nude for an art class in a Sydney hotel. Or the time I dressed up like a '70s porn star to compete in an air guitar competition.
But there are plenty of venues in Sydney for the average punter to show off their dubious talents. Maybe you can dance like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Maybe you can make strangers shoot beer through their nostrils with your comedy or sing karaoke better than Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets.
In the interests of gonzo journalism, I rocked up to three amateur nights. And may God have mercy on my exhibitionistic soul.
Hear the one about the journalist who tried stand-up?
Most fledgling stand-up comics start at one of the smaller venues in town. But if you're going to die a thousand deaths onstage, why not do it in front of hundreds of people instead of 20?
That's why I'm starting my comedy career in Sydney's top stand-up venue, the Comedy Store. I'm doing a five-minute slot during its popular Tuesday open mic night. Apparently, there's a three-month waiting list for our next generation of Jim Carreys. No pressure or anything. Particularly if you're on first.
I'm hyperventilating stage-side as MC Jason "Rash" Ryder warms up the crowd with his bent humour, feeling more nervous than I did when I posed nude for an art class. At least there they only judged you on the size of your genitals.
Rash introduces me to rousing applause. Suddenly I'm onstage. It's showtime.
"My girlfriend asked me to open the window six inches the other night to get the breeze,"
I say. "So I open it six inches, and she says, 'I asked you to open it six inches ... You've opened it this big.'" I gesture to indicate a massive gap. The crowd titters politely. OK, so it's not Monty Python. But I am using my own material.
I get a bigger laugh with a ripped-from-the-headlines joke about doctors getting too intimate with their patients, the punchline being, "So what's that strippers' pole doing over there?" I'm feeling cocky. I've got the mic off the stand and am gesturing like a budding Seinfeld.
"Hey guys ... has anyone ever made love to a woman only to have her say afterwards, 'I've decided to become a lesbian?' No?" I look around guiltily. "Just checking."
Surprisingly, that doesn't get the laughs I thought it would. Perhaps my timing is off, despite my abstaining from sex the night before to improve my performance.
I get a big guffaw with a joke about tissue-paper names: "They should be called 'snot nose' or 'booger-be-gone' or 'my-God-how-did-corn-kernels-get-up-my-nose?'"
For the rest of the material, sometimes I get the ace, sometimes the deuces. Yet my one-minute tale about a sea-monkey royal wedding goes down like a rugby player's drunken phone message. But they're sea monkeys! Sea monkeys! That's comedy gold!
My friends congratulate me on a good performance for a first-timer as I step off. There are better comedians on after me, but there are also worse ones. That's the main thing, isn't it? As long as there's someone worse than you.
See Charles's stand-up routine
How can you just leave me standing/Alone in a world so cold?
You don't need a good singing voice to do karaoke - but you may need alcohol. After two beers, a man is ready to dance. After three, he's ready to disco. After four, it's karaoke o'clock.
Four beers and a satay dinner in Chinatown later, I make my assault on the Covent Garden Hotel. It's 8.30pm and a healthy crowd is gathering around the microphone. The atmosphere is good-natured, if slightly seedy.
It's then that The Fear hits me. What if they boo? Or start throwing things?
I order another drink before adding my name to the queue. The song list reveals that karaoke is a place where the super sounds of yesteryear just keep on trucking: Motley Crue, REO Speedwagon, Captain and Tennille.
I'm on third with Prince's When Doves Cry. As the words start appearing on the screen, I summon my inner Prince.
"Dig if you will the picture ..." I'm no Love Symbol. I can't sing like a castrated choirboy. But I do have a few moves. I start dancing, pointing, playing an invisible Flying V. When it comes to the chorus - "This is what it sounds like ... " - I cover my eyes as if weeping, then suddenly look up - " ... when doves cry."
The crowd cheers. MC Jimmy seems impressed at the end. Even my friends - the ones that didn't suddenly have to bury their grandmother when I suggested karaoke - enjoyed my performance.
I wait about an hour before I'm called on again, during which time we enjoy performances ranging from terrible (Dancing Queen) to excellent (You Shook Me All Night Long). And this wouldn't be Australian karaoke unless someone sung Chisel's Khe Sanh.
I get up to perform Survivor's '80s hit Eye of the Tiger. I start off by making claw gestures at the audience. They laugh. When it comes to the chorus, I turn my back to them, sing, "And they're watching us all with the eye ... ," then look back over my shoulder, " ... of the tiger." The crowd laps it up.
Jimmy casts me a disapproving eye when I get down on all fours and say, "Grrr, baby, very grrr." As I step off, he says, "And now you know why I drink." Nonetheless, my girlfriend tells me that some girls at the front thought I was really funny and that I'd "get lucky tonight".
Suddenly I realise what my routine needs: pelvic thrusts. I start co-ordinating some for my next song, INXS's New Sensation. Yet an hour later I'm still not called on again. Maybe the world isn't ready for my pelvic thrusting.
I take my girlfriend and leaping crotch home.
The lord of the dance
I should've learnt of the futility of performing against fit 19-year-olds when I bombed in the Australian Air Guitar Championships this year. (Go to radar.smh.com.au/archives/2004/03/confessions-of.html for the story.)
But no: I've turned up in a white Elvis jumpsuit to take part in Channel V's live TV dance competition, Room 208 Dance Off.
I'm wearing sunglasses, fake sideburns and a jewel-encrusted belt. Unfortunately, that's no stunt paunch I'm wearing - that's 100 per cent pure Purcell. Ladies, here I come.
Ignoring the curious looks from passers-by, I make my way into Channel V at Fox Studios. The idea behind the 90-minute show is that everyone grooves until five people are selected for the final dance-off.
Four are chosen by the judges: MC host Maya Jupiter, Nova 96.9FM's Lizzy Lovette and hip-hop act Sista She. The last dancer is chosen by viewers voting by SMS. Jupiter then teaches the five finalists a move from a Channel V video, which they have to use in the contest.
Jupiter introduces the show and all 27 competitors cram on the smallish dance floor. DJ Nino Brown starts pumping out R&B/hip-hop tunes from Kelis, 50 Cent and Sean Paul, and we get jiggy with it.
Right from the off, competitors try desperately to grab the attention of the circling cameramen. Girls who had previously just been friends start caressing each other. Men gyrate as if someone has thrust a conger eel down their pants. The camera work is slightly salacious, the cameramen zooming up from the women's ankles all the way up to their cleavage - and lingering.
Some competitors are taking things awfully seriously. Me, I'm just having fun, waving my cape, stroking my sideburns and joining the odd pretty girl for a dance with the King.
One chap with a mohawk is particularly desperate to get on-camera, even pushing his way in front of other people's shots. His shameless self-promotion embarrasses even me. Yet Doug Steele from 2Day FM's Hot 30 show is the second person nominated.
Sista She's Rasheda pulls me aside for an on-camera chat.
"What have you been up to, Elvis?" she says.
"I just wanted people to know that I'm not dead - I've just been living in Canberra," I say.
The discussion then revolves around the mistaken impression that I come from Canberra. I show the camera why they call me Elvis the Pelvis, then hit the dance floor again with the likes of Va Va Voom, Malibu Barbie, Bootylicious, Azza and Jessie's Girl.
At the 40-minute mark, three dancers have been selected. I'm not one of them. My girlfriend later tells me about messages viewers have been sending in about me, which range from "Go home, Elvis" to "Elvis is a sexy beast!"
Some competitors become manic as the last finalists are selected. Cue more Sapphic dancing. One competitor named Gumby launches into an amazing display of athleticism. Unfortunately, his stage name is apt because he has left his run too late.
When an hour is up, everyone is drenched with sweat and the five finalists have been selected: three women and two men. The "sexy beast" isn't among them.
Jupiter takes the top five backstage and shows them a piece of fancy footwork from Missy Elliott's video for Pass that Dutch. Then they return to the main podium for the dance-off.
Steele and Barbie are eliminated in the first round. Neither is happy about it.
"They showed us this dance move and then the first two people didn't even do it," Barbie bitterly tells her friends offstage.
Nattaz is the next to go. She shouts out something like "Hitch!" when she steps off.
Now it's down to one man, Azza, and one woman, Hans. Hans is showing plenty of attitude and cleavage. She has also split her pants. Both cameraman and audience gleefully zoom in on her wardrobe malfunction.
Azza has an unexposed groin, energy in reserve and excellent dance moves. The live SMS vote is close for a while, but Azza pulls ahead. He wins $1000 prize money, an Apple iPod and a year's supply of Juicy Fruit.
Hans is crushed. She has checked straight into Heartbreak Hotel.
As for me? I won best costume and two tickets to hip-hop diva Kelis. Finally, a star is born.

A lot of people want to leave work (or their studies) for awhile, pack their bags, and travel wherever they want to. And then they realize they would need a significant amount of money, so the plan fizzles out. This is a typical scenario, one that even I experienced years ago, while I was still starting out on my travel adventures. Nowadays, though, there are a lot of ways to travel without spending that much, especially when your plan is to explore the American coast.
Plan Your Trip Ahead of Time
The ideal way to save is to start planning as early as possible. Planning ahead of time will encourage you to start saving early. Talk to a travel planner (like me!) before you lay down your plans.
Go on a Road Trip
Instead of spending your hard-earned dollars on airfares, look for a reliable and affordable car rental service. Be sure to go for one that includes insurance. There are not a lot of these in the United States, but your travel planner can help you out with this.
Stock Up on Food
Since you will be traveling on the road for hours upon hours, stock up on food. As much as possible, buy your stock from the cheapest shopping centers or stores. Avoid eating in restaurants as this will only add up to your expenses.
Choose Less Common Sources for Your Accommodations
When I travel, I do not go for hotels listed in glossy travel magazines and online sites. I usually go for the less common ones like the ones found on AirBnB. Sometimes, I also look for inns and hostels. They are way cheaper than hotels. If you want free accommodations, you'll find some through Couchsurfing, which is an online source for local families/individuals who offer free lodging to travelers. Or, if you are the adventurous type, you can go camping!
Going Around Your Destination
Once you reach a stop or a destination, look for tourism centers and find a way to get park passes. Likewise, get information about free events that you can join. Walk around to save on gas; the best way to explore a place is by walking. Leave your rented car somewhere safe and start your adventure!

A self-proclaimed "renowned authority on the propulsion and displacement of spheroids" (the game of marbles), Mr. Marbles wrote a book about the topic in 1979 entitled "Mr. Marbles' Marbles for Everyone." Likely schizophrenic, his real name is Otis Eugene Ray, better known as Gene Ray, and today he is famous as the creator of www.timecube.com, a notoriously incoherent pseudoscientific website.
by Megaritz March 20, 2011
The sight of an old man shoving his nuts in a tight pair of jeans. In essence his crotch looks like a sack of marbles.
Look at them tight ass pants, he looks like he is smuggling marbles.
That's mr. Marbles!
That's mr. Marbles!
by Caz-Man April 12, 2007
A term used to describe a male who sits in such a way to shove his nuts into a small space resembling a sack of marbles.
I wish Mr. Marbles would stop sitting like that. You can see his marbles plain as day!

Awaiting trial on a 2011 attempted murder charge, 80-year-old Walter Wilson decided to act before the court system could decide his fate in a woman's shooting, Cook County prosecutors said Sunday.
So Wilson placed 25 calls to the victim — the same woman he shot in 1989 — and told her to drop the charges despite a court order prohibiting him from contacting her, prosecutors said. She refused, so he said he would "get everybody that's involved," according to police reports.

Buying Essays
If you are a student considering the option of buying essays, research papers, or any other type of academic writing, then you are doing so for any number of reasons. A deadline has crept up on you; you dislike the subject matter of the course for which the essay or paper has been assigned; you have multiple assignments and not enough time. Whatever your reason is, the most important factor in your search for an academic writing service is legitimacy.
In recent years, hundreds of sites have sprung up, all promising quality writing services for high school and university students. Finding one that actually delivers upon its promises, however, is quite another matter. When you are looking at a potential site for buying essays, read all of its information. If you see errors in grammatical construction, leave immediately. If a site cannot advertize its services in appropriate English, chances are its origin is in the Middle East or Asia and its writers are foreign students, whose command of the language is elementary, at best. If you select such a site, you will receive inferior essay writing and will be forced into significant revision if not a complete re-write. When you find a college essay writing service that sports proper English, check the guarantees, the security of the payment procedure and the availability of communication between you and the company. When there is no more than an email address, beware! Many of these companies deliver essays and research papers from huge online databases, and, in most instances, they have been sold many times over. Your risk of discovery is huge!
At QualityEssay.com, we operate a bit differently. First, our essays online are uniquely written for only you, and the research is not begun until you order it. A single writer is assigned to your college essay writing, and you have the opportunity to communicate with your writer during the entire production process. This allows you to monitor the progress as well as to request revisions at any time. You provide all requirements and specifications to your writer, and s/he will meet those without exception.
Our writers hold graduate degrees in virtually every college and university major. They are from the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia and are thus native English-speaking academicians. They become writers for us only after passing through a rigorous selection process, including proof of academic credentials and the submission of several essay writing samples. In short, we only employ the best!
When buying essays or research papers online, you would definitely want to have certain guarantees. We provide the following:
1. A single writer assigned to your work.
2. Research conducted using the latest tools, in order to locate and utilize the most current and relevant resources.
3. Resource citation format as you designate.
4. A 100% guarantee of originality. Each essay online is scanned for plagiarism prior to its final delivery to a client.
5. Complete confidentiality for you and for the ordered work. Your piece is your sole property and will never appear anywhere else. As well, we maintain the confidentiality of each client's identity.
6. Completely secure payment system.
At QualityEssay.com, we make buying essays and research papers easy. Place your order today, discuss the work with your writer, and receive a piece that is exactly as you have wished it to be.
Our company has the best writers from all around the world (mainly from the US, UK, Canada and Australia), specialized in different spheres of scientific activity and in writing various types of academic assignment on all topics provided by the customers. When you purchase essay from us, you will be provided with premium-quality custom written essays in the following disciplines: Economics, Law, Business, Marketing, Management, History, English, Literature, Nursing, Biology, Chemistry, Political science, Computer science, Sociology, Religious studies, Humanities, Physics, Philosophy, Psychology, Arts & Architecture, Geography, Sports, Geology, Music, Engineering, Mathematics, Archaeology, Anthropology, Criminology, Tourism and Leisure, Government and Diplomacy, Ecology and Environment, Technology, Information Technology (IT), Communications, Zoology, Women's studies, Education and many-many others.

ท่านรู้ไหม แค่ท่านดีใจ ผมโครตมีความสุขอ่ะ
New Features Include UTCHEM Simulator Support, Quick RFT Grid Plot, Periodic Production Rates, and Binned Integration
BELLEVUE, Washington—September 11, 2014—Tecplot®, Inc. has just released an update of Tecplot® RS™, the company's reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool for oil and gas reservoir modeling. Tecplot RS 2014 R1 has expanded data loaders, a new grid interrogation method, calculations for periodic production rates, and a new capability to numerically integrate a grid property and distribute the results based on another property.
New Features in Tecplot RS 2014 R1
- Support for UTCHEM Simulator. Tecplot RS 2014 R1 reads native UTCHEM (chemical flood reservoir simulator developed at the University of Texas at Austin ) files for the reservoir grid properties, and makes available full capabilities for creating XY PLOTS, and 2D and 3D grid plots.
- Fast Grid Interrogation. The Quick RFT plot provides a very fast quantitative method for exploring the grid and understanding how the grid properties vary with depth.
- Periodic Production Rates. Calculates average weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual production rates for selected wells and other entities. A table, which can be exported to a CSV file, includes the periodic rates, the average daily rate during each period, and the average daily rate based only on the days each well was producing during each period.
- Binned Integration. This new capability allows the integrated grid solution to be subdivided (binned) based on a selected grid variable or parameter, such as the time step. A reservoir engineer could use this capability to calculate the oil depletion over time for, example.

Comcast's New Wireless Service Feels Like a Trick
Just when you thought cell phone plans couldn't get any more confusing, Comcast just announced its own wireless service: Xfinity Mobile.
Just when you thought cell phone plans couldn't get any more confusing, Comcast just announced its own wireless service: Xfinity Mobile.
Verizon is reportedly changing its privacy policy in a way that'll let the carrier monitor your usage and mine that information for marketing reports and targeted ads.
It's about time Motorola got its act together and started upgrading the Verizon Wireless Xoom from 3G to 4G LTE. It's only been ten months since the device launched.
And that could be vice versa too, with Verizon Wireless stating that their phones won't "be compatible on other LTE networks in the US," owing to their "different frequencies." That may sound strange as both Verizon and AT&T use the 700MHz band, but there's little cross-over apparently, with Verizon using the…
According to FierceWireless, Verizon has confirmed that they'll be getting rid of their unlimited data plans in favor of tiered pricing plans. Starting July 7th it'll be $10 for 75MB, $30 for 2GB, $50 for 5GB, and $80 for 10GB.
Expected around June on Verizon Wireless, the Motorola Droid 3 will be a smart-snappin' 8MP handset with 960 x 540 qHD screen resolution, dual-core processor, and HDMI-out port. The jury is still out on whether it'll be LTE-compatible, however.
Pretty much everything about the Droid X2 has leaked already, save for the date of launch. Internal Verizon documents are claiming it'll be May 26th, though it'll start showing up around May 19th via direct fulfillment.
Apple's said to be exploring sending out over-the-air updates for iPhones, starting with the iOS 5 update in fall. Verizon is working closely with Apple, which as you probably know normally relies on updates over iTunes, suggesting that the Verizon iPhone will probably receive the iOS 5 update OTA before AT&T…
It's been several hours according to Verizon Wireless customers (some of whom work for your favorite tech site), but Verizon's LTE service shows no sign of going back up. All over the US there have been confirmed outages, with some also reporting their 3G network is down also.
Verizon Wireless is pushing out a software update for Motorola Xooms today, which will allow users to download Flash Player 10.2 from the Android Market when it becomes available next Friday, the 18th of March. The update also includes clock adjustments for daylight savings time. [Verizon]
Boy, tablets cost a fair whack, don't they? $600 on a two-year contract at Verizon, or $800 without—either way, the Motorola Xoom tablet is a few hundred too many for me. Pick one up from Verizon Wireless from this Thursday, along with 1GB of data for $20 monthly. [PRNewswire]
How confident is Verizon that they can handle the data usage of brand-new iPhone owners? So confident that they've been saying they're ready for the onslaught since back in 2009. Big talk! Let's hope they can back it up. [Businessweek]
Here we go: Verizon's LTE network is launching on Dec. 5 in 38 markets and 60 airports—going nationwide by 2013—with two USB sticks from LG and Pantech supplying the superfast goodness. But just how fast is it?
Last we heard of the Merge, it was sporting Android 2.2 and had an 800MHz processor. With a 5MP camera and 3.7-inch screen, it looks like it'll be on sale soon, judging by Verizon's slip-up. [AndroidCentral]
We warned you they would be back—and look who just swaggered into town today, as if they never even got killed off by Microsoft. Should've picked better aliases, though—Kin ONEm and Kin TWOm is just plain weird.
Today's October 28th, which means Verizon Wireless has begun selling Wi-Fi versions of the iPad, with MiFi mobile hotspot dongle packages on offer starting at $630 for the 16GB model.
Live in an unfortunately located apartment or rural area (or any other cellular phantom zone)? Verizon will let you turn your net connection into 40 feet of 3G. This is still, however, a pricy fix for bad service.
We've known for a while that Verizon's tiered data pricing was coming soon, but now we've got a supposed date when you can kiss the unlimited data buffet goodbye: October 28th. But all's not lost for smartphone owners.
You don't need the R2-D2 Droid phone to download this app, but for full credibility I'd suggest all owners of that phone fork out the $3 it costs. In fact, any Verizon customer with an Android phone should pay up.
Verizon Wireless, writing to us this evening, has officially confirmed it will credit 15 million customers with $90 million in compensation for "mistaken past data charges."

Set up is faster than ever with Manfrotto's Quick Power Lock System that allows you to completely extend the tripod legs with just one hand. Once set up you can use the MT190XPRO4's rapid center column in standard vertical mode or swing it into horizontal position like a boom with Manfrotto's 90° Column feature. Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.2" for macro work with the column in horizontal mode. And once you're down there you can attach any of Manfrotto's flexible or articulated arms to hold lights or reflectors via the Easy Link plug built into the tripod's spider.
Convenience features include grippy, rubber leg warmers on two legs for cold or inclement weather and a bubble level that rotates so that you can see it easily regardless of the tripod's position. Finally, Manfrotto's insistence on form following function has yielded a tripod that you'll not only be happy to use but you'll be happy to be seen with, too.

Make a roux by melting the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the flour and stir lightly until incorporated. The roux should look like "wet sand"; if not, adjust with more butter or flour as necessary. Add the milk and cook and thicken to make a bechamel sauce. (The sauce should be slightly thicker than heavy cream.) Reserve and keep warm.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice-water bath. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water and immediately transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. When cool, drain and set aside.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Before draining, set aside 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and coat with a bit of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Reserve.
Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the grapeseed oil, garlic and onions and cook until transparent. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and zucchini and sweat down a bit. Add the broccoli florets followed by the bechamel sauce and pasta. Toss to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick. Mix in the Parmesan. Add the chives, 2 tablespoons salt and the pepper and toss to combine.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chopped parsley and more Parmesan.

The Battle for U.S. Public Opinion on Climate Change is OverApril 26th, 2007
Posted by: Roger Pielke, Jr.
We've argued here that it has been over for a while, but this survey from the New York Times should make it obvious:
Americans in large bipartisan numbers say the heating of the earth's atmosphere is having serious effects on the environment now or will soon and think that it is necessary to take immediate steps to reduce its effects, the latest New York Times/CBS News poll finds.
Ninety percent of Democrats, 80 percent of independents and 60 percent of Republicans said immediate action was required to curb the warming of the atmosphere and deal with its effects on the global climate. Nineteen percent said it was not necessary to act now, and 1 percent said no steps were needed.
Recent international reports have said with near certainty that human activities are the main cause of global warming since 1950. The poll found that 84 percent of Americans see human activity as at least contributing to warming.
The poll also found that Americans want the United States to support conservation and to be a global leader in addressing environmental problems and developing alternative energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels like oil and coal.
For those still looking to play the skeptic game there is also good news as there are still a few left: 4% said recent strange weather was caused by "God/end of world/bible" and 2% said "space junk." In all seriousness, I don't expect the skeptic game to end any time soon, despite the overwhelming consensus of public opinion.

He started off slowly, staying late to tidy up loose ends. But Greg Vaughan soon became a classic workaholic, spending up to 60 hours a week at his job. Then the stress caught up with him.
Under constantpressure working as a security guard in Baltimore, he suffered a breakdown brought on by a chemical imbalance. The 38-year-old Linthicum resident briefly checked himself into a hospital before he found refuge at Omni House, a non-profit rehabilitation program for the mentally ill.
Seven months later, Vaughan is back on his feet again. He's living with two roommates in the Americana apartment complex and working part time at a more relaxed job at Taco Bell.

The White House has put together a long list of candidates who might eventually replace Edward DeMarco as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, according to officials who have been briefed on the matter.
Roughly seven names are being mentioned, these officials said. "They are now actively looking," said one of these sources.Some of those candidates include former U.S. Treasury official Michael Barr, and current Treasury official Michael Stegman who is the agency's point man on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Stegman, in particular, has worked on a new Treasury white paper on the future of the GSEs, a product that likely may never see the light of day, industry sources told ASR sister publication, National Mortgage News.
DeMarco, who has been in the post for three-plus years, is an "acting" director and a career civil servant. If the White House picks a successor who can pass the Senate he would stay with the agency in another role unless he decides to leave entirely.
The White House has been unhappy, to some degree, with DeMarco because of his refusal to allow the GSEs to write down the principal on underwater loans as a restructuring tool.
THE FHFA has been conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since September 2008. Both are now profitable on an operating basis.

It seems to me like the advantage of dynamic type systems is that you don't have to deal with the disadvantages of static type systems, whether it be induced by the limitations of a type system (C++, C#, Java) or the limitations of one's understanding of a type system (Haskell).
There are disadvantages of dynamic type systems as anyone who has ever made a variable name typo can tell you. In particular, I've always considered dynamic language designers who enforce case sensitivity in their variable names as especially cruel.

Is there a list of controls whose markup was updated to be more standards-compliant in ASP.NET 4.0?
Misspellings in exception messages for the ASP.NET 4.0 Beta 2 Wizard control highlighted below:
A header placeholder must be specified on Wizard 'Wizard1' when HeaderTemplate is set. Specify a placholder by setting a control's ID property to "headerPlaceholder". The placeholder control must also specify runat="server".
A sidebar placeholder must be specified on Wizard 'Wizard1' when DisplaySideBar is set to true. Specify a placholder by setting a control's ID property to "sideBarPlaceholder". The placeholder control must also specify runat="server".

Where jQuery really needs help is the UI stuff. Ext, YUI, Dojo, ..., all have better widget frameworks than jQuery UI. Ext in particular just looks so much better than all of the other stuff. It's no wonder that Adobe (AIR) and Google (GWT) jumped on the Ext bandwagon.

Safeway is having a Buy 4, Save $4 Sale on juice this week. There is a nice $1/1 Welch's Essentials coupon in the 5/1 SS insert. I went into Safeway crossing my fingers that it was included in the deal. The Welch's Essentials were not tagged as part of the promo. I decided to bug my cashier and ask if they were part of the promotion thinking "this is never going to work, it's not tagged, and they are going to be so annoyed with me". Much to my surprise, it worked! Here's how to get 4 for free!

We think he liked his cake. Just a guess.
There's something about the second child - or maybe it's that he's a boy - that's making this birthday MUCH harder than Kate's first. While we haven't ruled out more kids , I'm still starting to feel "babyhood" slipping away. I know I can't nurse him forever (I really do know that, hubby), and I know that him wanting Daddy more often is, in the grand scheme of things, a good thing, but I just can't shake the sad feeling that he's already growing up and "leaving" somehow. Maybe it's because he needed me SO much in the beginning, and I got used to being the sun, moon, and stars for his precious little self (while I don't wish colic on anyone, it certainly is a self-esteem boost to a momma who's had an "independent woman" for her first baby). Give me a moment to wipe this tear.
On a lighter note, a year with a cute and slightly pitiful baby boy has taught me a lot. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, let me elaborate:
- Those commercials that show what looks like a fire hose spraying when someone takes the diaper off of a baby boy are exaggerating, but only slightly. I thought that was a myth/once-in-a-while quirky thing, but no - they're not kidding. Put on your goggles (and don't open your mouth) if you ever have to change a baby boy!
- Even if boy clothes don't look cute when you're pregnant, you'll end up loving them. Tiny plaid "skater" shirts? Yes, please! Miniature jeans? Who knew denim could make you sigh! An itty bitty necktie?! Swoon.
- Big baby boy eyes and pudgy little hands will make you want to throw all of your good ideas about sleep training out the window. How much can it hurt to cuddle up and let him sleep with you?
- As much as I hate whining, I can't stick to my guns enough to not pick him up when he does it at my feet. It feels good to be needed.
- While I'm not an advocate of "cutesy" little boy clothes, it is HILARIOUS to put your tank of a baby boy in a sleep gown covered in yellow duckies. The "duck dress" never ceases to amuse.
- First bites, first "words", first steps, and first games are just as good the second time around. And it's amazing how different two kids from the same parents can be - my little Jaker is content to blow kisses and grin at everyone he sees, while Miss Kate was in constant motion and couldn't be bothered by anyone at this age.
- All the worrying I did before Jake was born about whether I could love another baby as much as Kate was in vain. It's hard to explain if you haven't experienced it, but your capacity to love just explodes when you add another baby to the brood. Even better than what you feel for each one individually? The way you feel the first time they make each other laugh. (Pausing to wipe another tear.)
- Even though you may have an idea in your head of how you want your son to be, at some point you'll realize that the only thing you'd ever change about him is his diaper.
Happy Birthday, baby Jake. Your mommy loves every wonderful thing about you!

Aries 2017 Love Horoscope
Jupiter is in your relationship sector for most of 2017, and enters your intimacy sector in October. This can be helpful for your relationships, and you can work on improving all of your relationships, meeting new people, and strengthening the emotional bonds between you later in the year. You can feel more comfortable with commitment and the serious side of relationships in 2017.
Mars is in your love sector in August, and a solar eclipse occurs in your love sector that month, so that may be a good time to meet a new love interest, if single. There are some challenges for you with love and relationships this year though, first with Venus, the planet of love, she will retrograde (appear to move backward) in you sign in March, and this can make it difficult for you to be affectionate and romantic, to meet new people, or to be patient and considerate with the people in your life, so you have to work on that. Then Mercury will retrograde in your love sector very briefly to start September, but it'll only last for less than one week, so hopefully it doesn't bring too many annoyances. Watch for misunderstandings or miscommunications with loved ones.
There is also a lunar eclipse in your love sector in February, and this can show ending a love relationship, eliminating an issue that's blocking you from having love, or feeling more affectionate and loving. Mars is in your relationship sector in November and intimacy sector in December, so you can end the year focused on being more serious with love.
Aries 2017 Career Horoscope
You may start the year feeling like you're going in the wrong direction with Mercury retrograde in your career and life path sector to begin 2017, but this is only for the first 4 days. Instead of questioning yourself, maybe you should set some new year's goals that focus on taking second chances as 2017 begins. Mars will be in your money sector for most of March and April, giving you a good period to focus on improving your financial situation, to take advantage of financial opportunities, and to work on your financial plans. It can be good for taking on a second job, side gig, or turning a hobby profitable. Mercury retrogrades in your money sector for a few weeks in April though, so you may need to work out some financial problems first before you can turn things around, but the energy is there with you to be able to make things better if you work with it.
In the second half of August, Mercury retrogrades in your work sector, and you may have some issues with your coworkers or bosses, your office or equipment, or with your work itself like missing deadlines or forgetting instructions. For those of you who don't feel passionate about your work, that can get worse in August, and you may feel like walking away, but try to focus on being smart about it before you do. Mars is in your work sector September and most of October, so you have some good work energy after the retrograde, and can tap into your productive side. This can be a good time to look for a new job, for those of you who will be looking around then.
The year ends with Saturn entering your career and life path sector in mid-December, the sector Pluto already is, and this can be an incredible time for you professionally if you've worked hard, smart, and done the right thing. You still have time to do that if you haven't been doing that yet, but you'll want to make sure you do before this hits because if you don't, you can be kicked way down and it can be years before you get back to where you are now. If you do things right, you can make it to new heights, reaching levels of success you've been working so hard for, and setting yourself up for years to come.
Aries 2017 Home and Family Horoscope
Mars is in your home and family sector June and most of July, so this can be a good time to focus on home and family matters. Plan a move, renovate, remodel, or redecorate, buy or sell real estate, plan a family vacation or reunion, or research your family's heritage. Work on feeling more connected emotionally to the people you view as your family and work on having a place of emotional refuge in your home that you can escape to when the world is harsh.
If you have any children, they may get a lot more of your focus this year with Mercury retrograde is your children sector the first few days of September, a lunar eclipse in February in this sector, a solar eclipse in August in this sector, and Mars in this sector in August. The retrograde can make them more rebellious, the lunar eclipse can bring an ending for them, the solar eclipse can bring attention or an opportunity for them, and Mars can bring more energy with them.
Aries 2017 Mental State Horoscope
Mars is in the sector ruling your subconscious mind to start the year for the month of January, and you can go into 2017 focusing on subconscious issues and working on letting go of the patterns and behaviors that have led to problems for you in life. Neptune is already in this sector, so it's a good time to work on no longer being your own worst enemy, and instead working on having a solid connection to your internal self that's positive and healthy. Venus retrogrades in this sector the first half of April, and this can be a period where you're a little lazier about the connection and might need a break from the internal focus. The solar eclipse in February occurs in this sector, and you can feel you're in a much better place.
Mars is in the sector ruling your mind in May, and you can have more ideas, more mental energy, and want to express yourself more that month, so keep your mind occupied and use up the energy you have. Saturn remains in the sector ruling higher learning and your optimistic self until December, so you continue to be more realistic and focus on learning that will benefit you in a practical way. This may be challenged in December though with Mercury retrograde in this sector, and you can end the transit with one last issue to work through.
Aries 2017 General Horoscope
Uranus remains in your sign for all of 2017, but this transit is gearing up to come to an end, so you won't have to deal with erratic, unstable Uranus for too much longer. Most of you have already felt Uranus cross over your Sun, so only the later, mid-April born Aries folks have to deal with that and the extra dose of changes that come with it. Most of you are done with that though, so you can move on from the changes and feel more refreshed. Almost there!
Mars is in your sign in February, and this can be a burst of extra energy and bring some changes with it, but you can work on taking control of those changes. Mercury will retrograde in your sign in late April for less than two weeks, and you can feel completely and totally off and feel like all sorts of things can go wrong. You'll want to have extra patience with yourself, schedule in extra time for you to do work and adjust to what comes, and focus on giving yourself second chances, an excellent use of the energy. Again, Venus retrogrades in your sign in March, so you have the relationship stuff to deal with, and can also be extra lazy, indulgent, stubborn, or vacillating. Try to remember to be considerate of others, and give yourself time off whenever you can.
Saturn in Sagittarius remains at a nice angle to your sign, so you can handle your responsibilities a bit better, while Jupiter in Libra is opposite your sign, so you may deal with strains of laziness sometimes.
2017 Horoscopes:
Aries 2017 Month-by-Month Mini Horoscopes
January 2017
February 2017
March 2017
April 2017
The big picture may be difficult to see early in the month, so wait until the end of the month for it to clear and you can make bigger decisions. In the meantime, work on your plans quietly without interference, and wait until the right moment to expose them to the world. Tweak them now, do your own research, and ask your intuition what you should do about it.
You can be more inspired this month, and this can make you want to pursue creative ventures that allow you to use your imagination and creative energy, or you can focus on creating a project or opportunity for yourself. You can channel what you're feeling into this, and you can feel so good about it. It can be a good way for you to handle your emotions.
Laziness may be the name of the game this month, so try not to make too many demands of yourself. If you can take time off, go ahead and do so. Even if you can't, you may find yourself stealing naps here and there. If ever there were a time to start scheduling naps, this may be the month to do it! And work on being more flexible too. Inflexibility gets you nowhere.
You can feel lazier when it comes to your subconscious issues or spiritual needs, and you can feel like you need more time to relax. You may not want to deal with anything too serious or heady, and you may want to just live in the moment and stay calm and grounded. This can be a challenge at times, but if you can keep yourself calm, it can be a good thing.
May 2017
June 2017
July 2017
August 2017
Mental energy can surge this month, and you can have lots of new ideas, want to say and share more, and have a more positive attitude. This can be strongest around the new moon on the 25th, and you can focus on pursuing new ideas, creating opportunities for your ideas, and working on your short-term plans so you can follow these ideas through.
You can focus on starting something from the ground up this month, especially around the new moon on the 23rd, and you can have the idea for it to start the month, and take the first steps around the new moon. You may not see any progress made now, and you know you've got a long way to go, but you can work your way up over the next year or so.
You can stay within your comfort zone this month, not wanting to venture very far out of it at all, and you can benefit from taking time to give yourself the comfort and support that you need. You can tend to the needs of your heart, and you can make yourself feel good so you end the month in a more positive frame of mind and wanting to enjoy life.
Your connection to others can be a focus this month, and you may wonder about how you fit in the world, what your impact on the world is, and how you can reach more people, as well as how you can make a mark and get noticed. Your generous side can be strong as well, so think about ways you can help others or the world for the better.
September 2017
October 2017
November 2017
December 2017
You can get a lot of work done this month, and you can focus on the little things, the tasks and chores that need to be done, and the stuff that you'd normally pawn off on someone else. You can have an eye for the details, and plenty of energy for work. The new moon on the 20th can be a good time to take advantage of new work opportunities.
You can begin to feel a shift toward taking your relationships more seriously, and it may feel like a subtle shift because it can seem like an easy one to make. You may want to take them more seriously, and find that it's not as scary to you as it may've been in the past. You can open yourself up emotionally, and want to open up the people in your life as well.
You can continue to focus more on your relationships this month, and you can give more of your time and attention to the people in your life. You can feel energized by them, and more driven to improve the relationships you have and enter into new ones. You can work on the emotional bonds later in the month, and work on understanding people better.
You may feel like you're being stifled or suffocated in some area of life this month, but it may only be in your head. Have some patience, wait it out, and see how you feel when the year ends. You may find that things weren't as bad as you had perceived, and you can immediately get to work on making the next year of your life a spectacular one.

This summer the Reiman administration is introducing a range of new recreational and educational field trips that will provide both fun and learning to residents of all ages. Free transportation is being provided with vehicles obtained with federal grant funding. Trips include:
July 24 – Clementon Parl / Splash World
July 25 – Columbus Market Place

Had an incident at work the other day and did a little therapeutic writing about it. I looked up a good graphic to go with it, but the darn thing wouldn't post. Received an error message, more than once. Ended up trying another post but the same error message. At which point I said okay I don't wanna post it anyway--just a tad snarky. Now however, with the advantage of time and space I can see how I was being helped into not posting a mini rant that I'd never want to read again anyway.
Gotta love happy accidents

MLB Daily Fantasy Helper: Thursday 7/7/16
The beauty of daily fantasy baseball is that the top targets are different each and every day. Whether it's the right-handed catcher who destroys left-handed pitching or the mid-range hurler facing a depleted lineup, you're not going to find yourself using the same assets time after time.
While this breaks up the monotony, it can make it hard to decide which players are primed to succeed on a given day. We can help bridge that gap.
In addition to our custom optimal lineups, you can check out our batting and pitching heat maps, which show the pieces in the best spot to succeed on that slate. Put on the finishing touches with our games and lineups page to see who's hitting where and what the weather looks like, and you'll have yourself a snazzy looking team to put up some big point totals.
If you need help getting started on that trek, here are some of the top options on the board today.
Pitchers to Target
Danny Duffy ($8,800 on FanDuel): Normally, we split these pitcher breakdowns into a high-priced tier and a value tier. Today, though, the most intriguing pitcher on the board is one who would normally be in the bargain section, so it appears a bit of a change is in order. We're now up to a 10-start sample on born-again starter Danny Duffy, and the gas still hasn't slowed down. His SIERA over those 10 starts is 3.19, and it only increases a bit to 3.30 when we look at the past five. The Seattle Mariners have a great offense, but it's more vulnerable against left-handed pitching as they rank 17th in wRC+ with a 20.9% strikeout rate. Duffy's price is low, but I can assure you that his potential is not.
