Maybe money can buy happiness. According to one poll, the happiest people in America are those with the most money.
Continue Reading Below
A new study from the Wall Street Journal/NBC News finds wealthier Americans, retirees, Hispanics and Westerners report being the most content with their lives. They rate their lives more frequently a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being least satisfied with their situations. Those who consider themselves poor and report being the least happy.
The poll asked 496 people to rate their lives, and found 50% gave themselves an 8 or higher, a higher percentage than in recent years. In 2007, these numbers reached a high of 61% of respondents rating their lives on a similarly high scale, but they slipped during the financial crisis and following Great Recession.
What's more, nearly two-thirds of respondents with advanced degrees rated their lives at least an 8 or higher in this year's poll.
Wealth played a major factor in the study with 66% households making at least $75,000 a year or more rating their lives an 8 or higher. Forty percent of those labeling themselves as poor ranked their lives a 3 or less.
Gerri Detweiler, credit expert for Credit.com, says the connection between wealth and happiness puts a dent in the money-can't-buy happiness motto.
"We like to think that you can be happy on any income, and people can be," Detweiler says. "But it's harder when you are poor or have less money."
And living in poverty can impact stress and health levels, she adds, which can weigh on happiness levels.
"Unfortunately, financial problems can feed into other kinds of problems," she says. "You may eat poorly, or eat less expensive junk food, so you feel worse. It's a cycle of trying to get your life on track."
Financial planner John O'Meara adds constantly worrying about finances is stressful.
"It's a tough thing, because people who are poor do have higher stress levels," he says. "Wealth makes you avoid worry more, so you don't talk as much about it."
Older Americans (ages 65 and up) were among the happiest in the poll, with 59% rating their lives at least an 8 or higher. Those in pre-retirement, ages 50-to-64 were the least happy, the poll finds.
Detweiler was surprised to see the levels of retiree happiness so high. "Retirees were hit so hard in many cases by the economic downturn," she says. "They saw their savings evaporate, but they have a basic safety net. Some have social security, or a home that is paid for. Or maybe they have just decided, 'I know what matters in life, and it's not money.'"

Spectators are encouraged to attend and witness the amazing feat, admission is free and open to the public.Having spent the past five months training for the record setting attempt, Miller, a professional wakesurfer, will have technology on his side in addition to his natural skill set. Towing Miller for the entirety of the record attempt will be Tigé's Z3 boat.

Unfortunate: Twitter Forces Flattr To Stop Its Twitter Integration
from the well-that-sucks dept
Flattr had been using the Twitter API to figure out what people had favorited, and had been gathering data about the specific tweets. However, Twitter told the company that it was violating section IV. 2 C from its API terms. That term says that:
Your advertisements cannot resemble or reasonably be confused by users as a Tweet. For example, ads cannot have Tweet actions like follow, retweet, favorite, and reply. And you cannot sell or receive compensation for Tweet actions or the placement of Tweet actions on your Service.It's that last part where the trouble came in. Of course, it seems clear that that particular line in the terms of service was designed for situations where people are "selling" tweets or something similar. Not for cases where a service like Flattr is helping people make money from supporters. In response, Flattr even said that it would waive its standard 10% fee on any Flattrs that come via tweets. Twitter told them it wasn't good enough. Now, you can argue that "rules are rules," but rules need to make some sense. And it's unclear what kind of sense this makes. There's nothing about the way in which Flattr is using Twttier that is negative for Twitter. It seems like a really nice and useful addition. Obviously, we're somewhat biased, because it also helped us make a few bucks (not much, but some), but I can't see how it makes sense for Twitter to block this functionality.

This year's event is set to take place from Thursday, June 7 through Sunday, June 10 in the heart of downtown Nashville. Fans have already been reserving their spots for the nightly concerts, as tickets are currently on sale.
In addition to the nightly shows, fans who purchase packages to the festival will also have access to the Nashville Convention Center where select artists sign autographs for their fans throughout the four days. The daytime performances at the Riverfront Stage will once again be a free event that is open to the public.
Tickets can be purchased online through Ticketmaster or by calling 1-800-745-3000 or 1-800-CMA-FEST (262-3378). Ticket prices for the nightly concerts range from $115 to $325 (plus handling fees).

http://tinyurl.com/6lo22jSirius Satellite (SIRI) Mel Karmazin only had the No.2 spot at Viacom. After falling out with controlling shareholder Sumner Redstone, Karmazin decided to take his considerable skills as a media executive elsewhere. At the end of 2004, he took over as CEO of Sirius. He engineered a merger between his company and rival XM Satellite Radio (XMSR) well over a year ago, and that engagement is still hung up in government bureaucracy.
It must have dawned on Karmazin some time ago that, even after a merger, the chances that satellite radio will be a big money maker are exceedingly small. Everything from the Apple (AAPL) iPhone to cell phones and HD radio now compete in the mobile music and programming industry. Sirius and XM are no longer growing rapidly. They depend on new car sales for a large portion of the customer acquisition. Each company has over $1 billion in debt and negative operating income. This is not a good environment for refinancing junk debt. Karmazin may stay to see the deal approved, but there is no reason for him to stay beyond that. His creation has collapsed before it could be finished. This is a job for a restructuring expert.
I know Mel has the reputation for building up business and then selling them off. But do you really think he will bail on SIRI so soon, before all the work he put into negotiating the merger has its effect on the stock price long-term? He is going to want his name to be associated with the turn around of the companies.
The only way I see him gone is if the combined entity is bought out.

Our music playlist to accompany today's big storm is (sorry, we have to say it) da bomb.
Just when we thought we'd seen it all when it comes to New England weather (et tu, polar vortex?), along comes a "bomb cyclone." Clearly named by frustrated meteorologists who want to incite panic, the bomb cyclone is defined thusly by whomever is writing Wikipedia these days:Explosive cyclogenesis (also referred to as a weather bomb, meteorological bomb, explosive development, or bombogenesis) refers in a strict sense to a rapidly deepening extratropical cyclonic low-pressure area.
That doesn't sound so bad, and in fact "Bombogenesis" sounds like the perfect name for a Phil Collins cover band. But with the massive snow and strong winds coming along with it, followed by dangerous arctic cold, staying in and listening to some (literally) chill tunes seems like a good plan for the duration.
With that in mind, you can spend a few hours while the snow comes down (or "while the genesis bombs," as the meteorologists like to say) listening to the below compilation, guaranteed to be the best mix of bomb, cyclone, snow, storm and cold tracks you're bound to come across.

They actually provide something different in what is quite a lack of variety in this cast. They aren't loud arrogant Americans but quiet and efficient so far. But they aren't getting much screen time so they might not last that long. That's a shame as I have a feeling it's going to be a struggle to root for a team this season.

NRA Chief: Gun Controls Won't Pass Congress
The head of the National Rifle Association says he's confident that Congress won't approve an assault weapons ban or an ammunition limit in the wake of mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut.
David Keene called such gun control proposals "feel-good" measures that he says "won't do any good."
Keene is in Denver to meet with Colorado's Democratic governor and state lawmakers. He met with The Associated Press for an interview before sitting down with state officials.
Keene says universal background checks are popular with politicians but won't work. He says current background check systems are underfunded, and that requiring background checks on private sales would be a logistical mess.
Keene says that Congress and the states should focus on improving the existing background-check database

 ...I don't know if that is the sort of thing that happens to everyone, but I think that when you find him/her, you know.Â
Georgia (my friend) and some of her friends were coming back from a party late. None were intoxicated, but the weather was a bit bad, and lots of rain ahd come down before they were driving (it had stopped by the time they were driving). They are from rural Maryland, and were on some of the winding country roads. As it happened, they passed around a bend and the lead car spun out into a ditch. It was damaged pretty badly; the other car stopped close behind. As they all got out to check out the damage, a car pulled over to the other side, and out stepped two fairly tall men with blondish hair. They called over to the kids to see how they were, and then offered to call for help if they would all come over to the car. Georgia and her friends went to the car of the strangers, and about a minute later a drunk driver came from the other direction and smashed into the car in the ditch, destroying both it and the car behind it. If they hadn't been on the other side of the road, my friend and her friends would have died. The police came shortly after, and the kids went with them to the other side to the scene. When recalling the story to the officers, they said that they were saved by the two men; but these two men by now had disappeared, without anyone seeing where they went. The following Sunday after Liturgy Georgia went to venerate the icons on the iconostasis - and when she got to the deacon's door and saw the Archangel Michael, she recognized one of the men that had saved her.

Anti-Abortion Movement Aims to Control Black Women
Posted by Debra in abortion and birth control on April 8, 2010
In my decades of escorting women through anti-abortion protesters and into abortion clinics, I've observed that there are a variety of culturally different responses to the bullying, whining, pushing and threats. I've seen Latinas dissolve into tears and confusion when confronted at the clinic entrance by a priest saying the rosary over them, when they are told they'll go to hell for "killing their babies." Russian women tend to breeze by the antis as if they're invisible, while white American women, more than any others, feel they have to answer for their personal actions to obnoxious and complete strangers.
Black women (African American and West Indian) are the most likely, in my experience, to challenge the antis to "stay the f— out of my way!" Their anger at being interfered with comes out righteously. They don't need anyone to tell them about their business. The anti-abortion movement has historically had a very difficult time getting support in the Black community, for this and other reasons (their own racism, for one).
As part of the overall society-wide assault on abortion rights with includes murdering doctors, devising ever more state laws to restrict access, and the work of Democrats both overtly anti-choice and those who just seek common ground, the anti-abortion movement has recently put a lot of money and PR talent into blaming Black women for having abortions.
Of course, they don't say that directly. Several anti-abortion groups are funding a campaign to cast Black children as an "endangered species" because Black women have abortions. And more than that, they assert there is a concerted campaign of "Black genocide" fostered by an "abortion industry" that targets Black women who abort unintended pregnancies.
There is so much incorrect, dangerous, and outrageous about every one of their contentions and methods, that I can only begin here a sketch.
(Parenthetically, what if we suggest to the antis that they focus on a group who is really "endangering" their fetuses? Catholic women, as identified on medical admission forms, who use abortion more than any other religious group, perhaps? I know most Catholics say they don't listen to the Vatican on sexual matters — and why would they, given the revelations of the Pope's protection of pedophiles? But it's likely that the 12th century teaching that birth control is a sin is at least a major factor in the higher number of unplanned pregnancies among Catholics, and the various miseries they lead to. Let's tell the Right to Life movement to do some truth in advertising on that!)
At the heart of the campaign to shame and control Black women is a film called Maafa 21. See the trailer at blackgenocide.com (striking footage and dramatic music: high production values and serious funding behind this effort). It starts from the assumption that slavery of Black people in the United States was followed by an attempt by "America's wealthy elite" to make Black people disappear.
Well, that's true. An unemployment rate of 50% for African American men in NYC. 2.4 million people incarcerated, a huge proportion of them Black. The lowest life expectancy among any group in the US, and a higher infant morality rate. Higher rates of deadly diseases, and lower levels of health insurance. Higher rates of combat death in every war from the Civil War on. This is systematic oppression of Black people!
But those behind Maafa 21 don't care about any of that, least of all actual living Black people. The film weaves aspects of true facts — including the scientifically wrong eugenicist views of Margaret Sanger who fought in the early 20th century to bring birth control to poor women and founded Planned Parenthood — into a conspiracy by abortion providers today to "sell" abortions to Black women in order to reduce their birth rate.
This is all wrong, backwards, and very dangerous.
And we need to answer it. There is a professional promotion effort of this film especially to to HCBU's (historically Black colleges and universities) with cuts of it on YouTube and comments indicating people are being taken in by the argument. See Abortion and Black Genocide (Barack Obama and the Negro Project),
I would challenge anyone giving this film any credence to look at who made it, and how it's being used. Credit goes to "Life Dynamics," a group in Texas run by one Mark Crutcher. After a career in "promotion of automotive products" (used car salesman), Crutcher branched out to targeting abortion doctors over the last two decades, and sending a threatening pamphlet to medical students in the 1980′s. He specializes in "intelligence" against abortion providers. He has no history or connections with any movement endeavoring to protest, nor better, the lives of Black people in this country.
This aggressive disinformation campaign goes beyond a film. Georgia Right to Life put $20,000 into 80 billboards in Atlanta in January calling black children an "endangered species." Some of the billboards are still up, and there are plans to spread them to other cities with large Black population. I see one got a welcome alteration last week (Black children are beautiful members of the HUMAN species!).
Cindy Cooper writes in Anti-Choicers, the Media, and Race, on another aspect of the assault on women in Georgia:
the billboards are propaganda for an anti-abortion legislative assault, a bill in Georgia titled the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act, and called "PreNDA" by its anti-choice sponsors. The bill would create a new felony of "criminal solicitation of abortion." Under it, a person commits a crime punishable by five years in prison if the individual "solicits or coerces" another person to have an abortion 'based in any way on account of the race, color, or sex of the unborn child or the race or color of either parent of that child.' Under the bill, a doctor commits "criminal abortion," punishable by 10 years in prison, for performing an abortion based on those factors or 'with knowledge that the pregnant woman' based it on them. In addition, abortion is defined as 'the homicide of an unborn child,' and civil actions are extended for damages."
For more on the actual restrictions this will place on women who need abortions, see Black Abortion: Battleground Georgia on RH Reality Check. We must and will answer the lies in this "Black genocide" argument. Leaders in the fight for reproductive justice are already doing so.
Loretta Ross, of Sistersong, says:
"They tell African American women that we are now responsible for the genocide of our own people … We are now accused of 'lynching' our children in our wombs and practicing white supremacy on ourselves… This is what lies on steroids look like.
…The sexism in their viewpoints is mind-boggling. To them, Black women are the poor dupes of the abortion rights movement, lacking agency and decision-making of our own. In fact, this is a reassertion of Black male supremacy over the self-determination of women…. It is about re-enslaving Black women by making us breeders for someone else's cause."
Melissa Harris-Lacewell, a Princeton professor, looks at Black women's situation in this society in A Right to Life for the Living:
A recent study by the Insight Center for Community Economic Development revealed that single black women have on average only $100 in personal wealth, compared with $41,500 for single white women. With less disposable income, many black women are shut out of the booming reproductive technologies market available to their white peers. In this twisted sense even college education could be argued to constitute racial genocide.
This past Saturday I sat around a table in Harlem with an abortion provider and a dozen people who escort at an abortion clinic in the Bronx. I asked how people thought we should answer this "Black genocide" campaign. Francesca was really outraged at the idea of the anti-abortion movement talking to Black women about "life" for unborn fetuses. She asked, "what about the epidemic of Hep(atitis) C? Black women are out here struggling with life and death! They don't need to tell us anything."
A student said "we have to make an unapologetic case for abortion rights!" We talked about the antis' so-called "science" and how it's used to confuse and lie to people about our bodies. Others said the "genocide" argument is used, and has historically been used, to manipulate people against abortion. Sharon, who provides abortions, said that we have to explain the actual reality for women of color. "We have more unintended pregnancies, for economic reasons."
Everyone agreed that women — including women of color — can determine what they need to do for each pregnancy. And no government, husband, father, religion, Pope, or group of lunatic murderers with a budget should force motherhood on any woman.

San Angelo resident honored during Wayland homecoming chapel
The Association of Former Students at Wayland Baptist University presented the Distinguished Young Alumni award to Kyle Reese of San Angelo during homecoming chapel on Nov. 22.
Honorees are recognized for their service and support of the university, accomplishments in their chosen fields and for dedication to Christian principles, according to Director of Alumni Services Joe Provence. Other honorees for 2002 included seminary professor Dr. Robert Mathis of Fort Worth, Judge Roland Saul of Hereford, former missionary Dr. Jim McKinley of Kentucky and Lucian Morehead, a retired attorney from Plainview.
Kyle Reese came to Wayland after graduating from River Road High School in Amarillo and established himself as a scholar and dedicated young man of God. He was a member of Theta Alpha Gamma fraternity and was an officer in the Ministerial Fellowship. During his time at Wayland, he served for a year as Minister of Youth at First Baptist Church in Hart and for two years as Minister of Youth at First Baptist Church in Muleshoe.
After graduating in 1993, Reese earned his graduate degree from Truett Seminary and began his pastoral career during study there, serving at First Baptist Church in Mertens. He later was pastor for four years at the First Baptist Church in Valley Mills. He began his tenure as pastor of First Baptist Church in San Angelo in January 2002 and is one of the respected young leaders in Baptist denominational life.
Reese is secretary of the Board of Advisors for Truett and is secretary/treasurer of the Alumni Association, of which he is a charter member. He is a member of the Committee to Nominate Institutional Board Members for the Baptist General Convention of Texas, the Ministerial Alliance in San Angelo and the Downtown Kiwanis Club. He also serves on the Goodfellow Air Force Base Chapel Task Force.
He and wife Amy have three children: Peyton, 5, Hannah, 4, and Wyatt, 1.

When the shootings occurred at the LA Fitness in Collier, PA, last month, I was shocked and saddened along with the rest of the country. It was a tragedy that so many innocent lives were affected by a man who seemed to be so disturbed and bent on violence. (See the cover story in this issue for more details.) Our hearts go out to LA Fitness and its staff, members and family members affected by this tragedy.
As we covered the story as best we could in the days following the incident, I was curious about how LA Fitness would react to the situation. Management at the company is adamantly private. I've covered the industry for seven years and have spoken to just one person at LA Fitness — and that was at the club level. When I've called and identified myself as a member of the media wanting a tour of an LA Fitness or to talk to a general manager for a story, I'm always told to call the corporate office. Calls and e-mails to corporate go unanswered.
Everyone in the fitness industry knows who LA Fitness is — a giant company of more than 300 clubs that is steadily and adeptly moving into new markets — but few in the industry know the faces behind LA Fitness like they do for giants such as 24 Hour Fitness and Bally Total Fitness.(See sidebar on page 32 for more about LA Fitness.)
When this tragedy occurred, LA Fitness put a note of condolence on its Web site. Although the note expressed sincere sentiments, I had hoped that LA Fitness would do more publicly. I had hoped that a representative would be at the press conferences answering questions or reading a statement. I had hoped that at the memorial service a representative from LA Fitness would have spoken to the crowd. All reports I have seen (and the reporters in Pittsburgh I spoke with) indicate that no one from LA Fitness did so, although the company did have at least one representative there at the scene.
In situations like this, a company needs to put a human face on itself. A few years ago, I served on a jury in which the defendant was a utility company. The utility sent one of its most genteel and least intimidating looking executives to just sit with its lawyers through the trial so that the utility company seemed more human. It did have an effect on me.
LA Fitness is made up of people. It's not just an inanimate entity. We needed to see a face at the forefront noting how the company was working with police on the investigation and helping the victims. After all, LA Fitness was a victim of George Sodini, too. Its staff went through the trauma of the evening just as its members did. In fact, the staff reportedly performed admirably getting members out of the club quickly. We needed to see and hear from those staff members.
I'm sure LA Fitness has its reasons for not putting a face on the company during this time. Perhaps concerns about litigation are one of those reasons. Perhaps a crisis is not the best time to suddenly take on a new persona. No one expected this to occur, after all, so no one had time to plan how to react. However, every club company should have a plan in place for how to deal with situations like these. (A town hall meeting on Oct. 16 at Club Industry in Chicago will delve into this topic.)
I hope that in the future, we see more of the personalities behind this large force in our industry. The company's success indicates they'd be interesting to get to know — and we hope to do so under more pleasant circumstances.

by Hugh Gilmore
Some people saaay there's a woooman to blame, but, it's my own damned fault. Last refuge of a scoundrel: using Jimmy Buffet-Parrothead-speak to make light of my mistakes.
Late in December last year I submitted my novel "Last Night on the Gorilla Tour" to CreateSpace, the publishing branch of Amazon.com, My book-launch party and first public reading from the book were scheduled for Feb. 22 at Musehouse.
The publishers warned that it would be a close race to get finished copies to me in time for my signing. They said they needed eight weeks. With the Christmas, New Year, Martin Luther King and Presidents Day holidays coming up, it would be a very tight squeeze. In fact, there was a good chance that I'd do my Musehouse reading on a Friday, and the books wouldn't arrive till Monday or Tuesday.
As Machiavelli said, however, "Fortune favors the bold," so I pushed on with my publicity campaign. That included emailing friends, being interviewed for a feature story in the Local, and putting notices on my blog. Also, for the first time, in response to the now-universal advice given to anyone with a project to promote, I joined Facebook.
The way I understood it, one simply got a Facebook page and name and started squawking. In fact, I created two Facebook pages. One was meant to be "personal," the other "professional." The personal page had a photo icon showing me happily blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. The "professional writer" page showed me as a Mafia-like, sunglass-wearing, Mr. Nasty deNiro Pacino, the noir novel writer.
I'll come back to that double-identity situation in a moment, after I explain that the whole time I was preparing for my book launch I was unaware that I left the water running, book-wise. That is, I mean, the gas jets had been left on. I mean the mice were nibbling the cheese I'd planned to serve.
What I'm saying here is that on Jan. 25 my physical proof arrived and, despite my earlier editorial efforts and those of three other sharp-eyed readers, I still found errors in the text. Not just one or two, which might be acceptable in a 100,000-word book, but more than a dozen. Misplaced commas, dropped lines and inconsistent spelling were the leading flaws.
Now, if you found ants in the sugar bowl just as your guests were sitting down to tea, you'd probably hurry back to the kitchen and brush the ants away or dump the bowl and refill it cleanly. But that was a tough call here. If I ordered another round of edits from CreateSpace, they'd reset the publishing process and I'd lose about eight days of momentum. I might not have copies for my book-launch party.
I edited the book anyway and hoped for the best. By Feb. 2, I had dragged a fine tooth comb over the text another half-dozen times and re-sent the manuscript. I then called CreateSpace every day, begging them to let me jump the line.
On Feb. 8 my digital proof was ready (a file I could download online). Without rereading the file, anxious to get copies for my launch party, feeling totally bulletproof about now having error-free copy, I ordered 50 copies of the book, paying extra for expedited shipping. The bill was close to $400.
Two days later the physical proof (i.e., a physical copy of the book exactly as it would appear) arrived. I admired its beauty. I purred at its sleekness. I opened its crisp pages and nearly puked. I saw more errors. How could that be? It seemed as though some insidious creeping disease had gotten into the book and spread. Nonetheless, 50 imperfect copies for the book launch were on their way because I'd already approved the book.
I tried to console myself. Every writer makes technical mistakes, right? It's the story that matters, right? And the nuggets of wisdom. And interesting characters. That's what I told myself anyway. I'd warn people the book needed brushing up, and go ahead with my plans for the launch. In the interim, I'd re-edit the book and publish another edition, revised yet again.
The tainted copies arrived the day before the launch. I brought them with me to the reading. There was a full house that night. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Somehow I overrode my queasiness and put on a good show. I sold lots of copies of "Gorilla Tour." We all enjoyed a fine author's reception afterward. Great party.
Later that night I went to bed glowing, happy that I'd briefly been the evening's star attraction, proud that I'd given a good reading, and delighted that I'd had the pleasure of talking merrily with people I really enjoy and respect.
How nice. But as I turned out the light, another reality intruded. I shuddered at the sudden thought that, after twelve years of struggle to get that book written and into the public eye, my troubles might just be beginning.
Next week we'll meet the mystery woman, I promise.
Hugh Gilmore is also the author of "Scenes from a Bookshop," a collection of stories gathered from his bookshop days. The book is available in e-book and paperback formats from Amazon.com and leading bookstores everywhere.

Lemon-Blueberry Tartlets - Improv Challenge
I joined yet another challenge group! This one is the Improv Challenge, a monthly party hosted by Frugal Antics. For this party, everyone takes the same two assigned ingredients, and comes up with an original dish.
My contribution is (are?) Lemon-Blueberry Tartlets, mostly because the local Try-n-Save had a sale on blueberries and mini-tart shells. The base is exactly like lemon curd. Except without the egg yolks. And the butter.
Okay, it's nothing like lemon curd. The fat and calories are replaced by sour cream and speed. This is a fast recipe to bang out. But since it requires a tool considered exotic by my favorite non-cooks, I am not allowed to call it easy. But if you can handle a citrus zester without impaling yourself, then this dessert is a snap.
And very addicting. Do not sneak a taste before serving, or else the 12 tartlets with quickly become 6.
spaghetti with spinach sauce) and the tartlets were finished before the pasta drained. Good thing, because I needed the colander for the blueberries. I really should go and buy another one. That bulls-eye super store had some really cute ones that look as if my big one was left out in the rain and shrunk ... but I digress ...
Lemon-Blueberry Tartlets
yield: 12 tarlets
lemon zest from 1 lemon, divided
1/3 cup sour cream (low-fat okay)
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 Tbl. fresh lemon juice
24-36 blueberries (depending upon size)
2 Tbl. granulated sugar
1 pkg. (12 count) mini-phyllo cups, defrosted if frozen
Just before serving, rinse, drain and pat blueberries dry with a paper towel. Combine with granulated sugar and set aside a moment.
Spoon 1 teaspoon lemon mixture into each phyllo shell.
Top with 2-3 blueberries depending upon their sizes.
Top each filled shell with a strand of lemon zest. If you are more dexterous than I am, curl the strand of zest decoratively.
Serve immediately. Don't let them sit more than 15-30 minutes or the shells will absorb moisture from the filling and lose their crispness.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Cobra men's tennis team improved their Conference Carolinas record to 2-1 on Friday afternoon with an 8-1 win over Belmont Abbey. Coker dropped just one match, No. 1 doubles, but was perfect for the rest of the day.
After losing at No. 1 doubles the Cobras bounced back with wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles with scores of 8-2 and 8-1 respectively. Then in singles play the Cobras were near perfect yet again in all but one match.

We (I?) need some insider info.
What existing holsters (make,model) will accommodate the MPX-9?
I've always leaned toward the Don Hume J.I.T holsters, the Uncle Mike's Super Belt Slide holsters, and the Uncled Mike's inside the pocket holsters for a quick and usable holster(s).
In these what holster fit number will work?
I am an employee of A Holster Co so I know I will have a custom holster, but I would like to have something on hand in anticipation of the new gun's arrival.

As the major league baseball postseason heats up, there's no doubt the Braves own Lowcountry hearts. So that takes care of our National League rooting interest.
But there are enough Charleston (or nearby) ties on the American League side to make for a nice debate.
Boston Red Sox: Pitcher Ryan Dempster, as a young Texas Rangers prospect, the personable Canadian was 7-11 with a 3.30 earned run average for the 1996 Charleston RiverDogs; hitting coach Greg Colbrunn lives in Mount Pleasant and is a former RiverDogs manager and hitting coach; outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., hero of South Carolina's back-to-back College World Series titles, might go off-and-on Boston's postseason roster.
Oakland A's: General Manager Billy Beane, played by Brad Pitt in the "Moneyball" movie, spent part of his childhood in Charleston. How smart is Beane? Well, the A's are back in the playoffs and you probably can't name four of their players.
Detroit Tigers: Outfielder Austin Jackson and relief pitcher Phil Coke each spent two seasons with the Charleston RiverDogs as New York Yankees prospects. They were included in the trade that sent outfielder Curtis Granderson from Detroit to The Bronx.
Tampa Bay Rays: The Rays were the RiverDogs' big league parent club before the Yankees. Though there are scant Tampa-Charleston ties, outfielder Delmon Young — a former Rays first-round pick who was a star in Charleston — has returned to the Rays. Outfielder Wil Myers signed with South Carolina but decided to turn pro out of high school when the Kansas City Royals picked him in the first round of the MLB draft.

I could really come up with something every day of the week! Today is going to be awesome though.
Oh yeah! Everybody loves fries and I'm giving you, not only a healthier way to cook them, but a healthier fry in and of itself. Read all the way down so you can see come variations, then get in the kitchen and get creative!
Shopping list:
- 3-4 medium baked potatoes
- 1 tablespoon EVOO
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour*
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Additional spices and herbs: dill, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, parsley, cinnamon (for sweeter fries).
Prep work:
- Slice potatoes into strips (about the size of your pinky) or chips (small, thin rounds). Try to get them cut as evenly as possible.
- Place in LARGE bowl. NOTE: I slice them the day before, cover with really cold water and throw in some fresh rosemary= heavenly.
- Add EVOO and mix. Use your hands, they won't bite.
- Add flour* and herbs/spices and mix.
- Put them evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for 45 minutes THEN for crisper fries, turn the broiler on HIGH and leave them in for another 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with a small dusting of sea salt and some no sugar added ketchup.
Now, if you want these to REALLY take on the "fried" texture of fries, you'll have to do more work. The BEST way I've found is to use panko bread crumbs (found in the Asian foods) and egg whites. After mixing everything together, roll the potatoes around in the egg whites then toss them through the bread crumbs. Same cooking process.
*If you have a wheat allergy, you can omit this altogether OR use ground flax, ground millet, or ground spelt.
To be honest I most enjoy these with an open face buffalo and avocado burger, loaded to the brim with fresh veggies, but I cook them almost every week and we have them with everything! Sweet potatoes are one of your true super foods in that they offer up vitamin A, E, and C as well as plenty of good fiber and energy boosting good carbohydrates. Don't overdo the ketchup and ruin all you've worked for though, limit the serving to 1 tablespoon. 3-4 potatoes will get you about 6 generous servings of fries topping out at around 95 calories and 2 grams of fat.
Stay on the FIT track!
Short and simple today:
First of the morning is a great time to get a little burst of movement and get your metabolism revving. There is a lot of debate about whether you shoudl or shouldn't eat before a morning workout. My advice is to go with your gut on this one. If you feel light headed or sick then make sure that you take in something light for your body to function off of. If you have some energy and feel fine, then you can skip the early morning snack and just have a good breakfast after a workout. Always pay attention to your body.
My favorite early morning trilogy:
Plie Squats 20x These not only tone the legs, but first thing in the morning they help to warm and open the hips
Walk out with a pushup 10-20x Start standing and with a flat back and strong core, fold over and touch the floor. Walk the hands out in front to pushup position. Perform 1 pushup and walk back, satnding tall.
Full Body Crunch 20x Lie in an X on the floor. On an exhale, engage your core and curl up into a tight ball lifting shoulders and hips off of the floor, inhale to return to your X slowly.
Life is a series of events. To feel successful in life, you must incorporate some balance into life. It is extremely important to understand that not every aspect of your life will be in perfect balance at all times. After all, we live in an imperfect world. I thin kthe mistake that most of us make is that we begin trying to balance from the outside in rather than the inside out. We balance time, money, food, exercise, family activities, etc. It is wonderful to have balance in these areas, but you must make certain you are not obsessing about the outward things. Take your weight for example. As a nutritionist I work with many people, most of whom are trying to lose weight. One of the most basic lessons I try to teach is that your weight fluctuates day to day and within each day itself. Since we are composed of mostly water, we are assured that our weight will not be stable. Does the ocean stay the exact same size? No. Why would expect such a feat from ourselves?
In order to achieve external balance, an internal mindset must first be attained. You will never have balance with food unless your mindset is changed to take on a healthier relationship with food. You will feel unbalanced in your finances until you produce a healthier relationship with money. Your homelife will feel unstable until you approach time management and priorities with clearer vision.
In order to help you accomplish more balance in all areas of your life, the next few posts will focus on achieving internal balance and more positive internal dialogue through a few simple changes. It will take only a few minutes a day to begin the process. You can have more balance and feel more grounded throughout your days. Fall is the perfect time to implement these principles as it is a time of welcome change in the environment. So, check back in this week as our first subject will be balancing the inner body. No craxy cleanses will be needed, but mindfulness is required
To get started towards a healthier inner body, add 1 cup of hot water with the juice of 1/2 lemon to your morning routine. Drink this mix before you eat to help boost digestion and in turn help you absorb more nutrition from your food.
XOXO Michelle
The most common way people
give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Alice Walker
Ever feel like you missed hte memo? Sometimes it seems like the articles and suggestions being pounded at us day after day are overwhelming. We're in line at the grocery store and headlines like "One Easy Move to Slim ALL Over", "Weight Loss That Sticks", "5 Weeks to a Better Butt", "Love Your Middle", "Lose Your Thigh Jiggle in 5 Easy Moves", Amp Your Training for the Arms of Your Dreams", "Bootcamp Moves for a Better You". I could go on and on and on. As you read these articulately put together articles titles it serves to remind you that you're so not there yet. If you're having a particularly trying day, it's enough to make you leave your Ban and Jerry's in the cart and head for the nearest gym, or vice versa. Constant reminders that you are not perfect don't keep you on your game do they?
Since I began coaching (as opposed to training) the world looks much different. I see things in a different light and am now allowed to take in instead of always fix a problem. Are jiggly thights a life threatening problem? No. The fluffy fat on the waist? Only a problem if the doc says there is an overabundance of it. Triceps wave? Not life threatening. Junk in the trunk? Desireable in most cultures.
The things listed above are about vanity. Now, don't get offended! It's just fine to want to look your best and I think that is a tangible goal. However, when we become OBSESSED with it, it turns to a problem. If we scrutinize every inch and loath certain body parts all together, it's gone into the unhealthy stages. We must then pull ourselves back.
The "problems" that I deal with the most are the mind and the eyes. These 2 things can have a stronghold on our entire being and we must be the ones to reign them in every once in a while. Our minds can talk down to us and make us feel as though we are lacking in our attempt at perfection. Our eyes tend to be blinded to our true nature. To help gain control over these the first step is to stop comparing yourself to others. That's why when people ask what my workout consists of (happened last night) I tell them 1-2 hours of yoga everyday, but only because that serves me. If it stops serving, I'll adapt. Don't compare yourself to others at the gym, people in magazines and on TV, family members, friends, or strangers. You are an individual and shoudl regard yourself as one.
The real deal is that if you're looking to lose weight it will take longer than 5 weeks. It took longer to put it on right? We have to look at the big picture. Stop putting bandiades over the small things (diets, bootcamp, etc) and start treating the big picture. Once you make peace with food and move becasue it makes you feel good, everything else falls into place, naturally. If you want to be a success story in your own life, look to your own self to find the answers you need. It's doable with TIME and a little elbow grease

Just Published my first e-book. Check it out and browse through it a bit. You'll find practical ways to get the results you want within your lifestyle :)
Yesterday I was blessed to lead a group of local 5th graders through a workout. What started as an hour long workout, quickly escalated and grew into over an hour of movement and excitement. I had a mission yesterday: I wanted the kids to learn that moving is fun and they should revel in their own abilities. I didn't want to pound them into a mold. By the time I left, each of the children were sweaty and smiling ear to ear. They had dance battles, kicked it up a little with some boxing, and stretched to serenity with yoga. They wanted me to come back again and again, and that wasn't because of me: it was because they were free to move without judgement. I hope and pray that a seed was planted that allows them to feel able and powerful in their own bodies.
That's the same way I feel about each client, whether we're face to face or online or phone. I think we've become a little too structured with our fitness regimes. It is the common perception that in order to lose weight or get "cut" that you have to have pain in your body. The mantra "No pain, no gain" has been around forever and hasn't served much of a purpose except to make those who follow it feel better and those that can't feel worse. Maybe a new revolution should commence where we move to feel good, NOT as a punishment. Somehting to think about....

What events do your days consist of? Are there things that are immovable (such as a job) and things that tend to get shoved around? In today's fast paced world, we work ourselves (understandably), but provide ourselves with little cross training for that very activity. If you were to run for a living (big Kara Goucher fan) then you would be required to cross train in order to prevent injury. Injuries take you out of the game. The most common reason for onsite call ins and injuries is lower back pain. This is where cross training comes in! If you have a job that requires sitting, driving, etc then you're doing yourself no favors by vegging on the couch to your favorite shows at night. Don't panic, I'm not taking away the shows! I want you to try something for 1 solid week. Have a timer (watch, or microwave timer will do) and set it for 5 minutes. While you're watching your show, take those 5 minutes to do some core strengthening exercises (planks, Pilates style strengtheners, leg lifts and lowers, etc) once the timer goes off you can watch the show for 5 minutes without interruption. The next 5 minutes incorporate some stretches to help open the hips and hip flexors and don't forget to stretch the quads too. Keep alternating like this and you'll find you have less kinks in your back. Even is your not one of the vast majority that suffer from low back pain, you will benefit.

In my opinion we overuse this word almost as much as we overuse LOVE. :)
I want everything to look perfect.
Dinner needs to be perfect.
In pursuit of perfection....
This seems to be a common goal, especially amongst those in fitness (it spreads deeper through the veins of gym goers).
Perfect can actually mean different things depending on it's usage. As an adjective it means excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement . As a verb it can be to bring to completion; finish ,, or even to bring to perfection; make flawless or faultless .
Let those definitions sink in for just a bit. Excellent or complete. Beyond practical or theoretical improvement. To bring to perfection. To make flawless or faultless. This is what we strive for. It's bit unnerving to the perfection athlete (those of us that beat our bodies to get there) since "there" is really a destination that will never be reached. I remember starting out I just wanted the energy to keep up with my kids. Then, as my weight started to drop, I wanted a certain size. Then I wanted a certain number on the scale. From there I wanted to see more muscle, then I really wanted a 6 pack. I wanted it so badly that it consumed all thoughts. My kids would even say,"Why don't you just eat some bread?". It was basic survival to them. And to tell yo the truth, even when I got all of that there were still flaws. I was not faultless.
Now I realize that not everybody reacts this way. There are some competitive body builders that seem to have the psychological aspect a little more down. The majority of the population doesn't though. Then we are left with little more than feelings of inadequacy.
To help pull us out of this funky place, there are a couple of small things we can do.
- Stop comparing yourself to the models (men too!) on the magazine covers. It's ok to admire ;) but let'e leave it at that. Photshop is a girls (and guys) best friend.
- Practice positive thinking. Say something you like about your physical self out loud everyday. Bonus points if you say it in front of somebody! I'll give all my pear shaped friends a head start on this one: I would LOVE to have a booty to complain about!
- Focus on the state of your health as opposed to the state of your abs. The 2 are totally different. Just like research has proven you can be overweight and still have good health, it has also proven you can be ripped and have heart disease. Think about improving where you are right now and you will reap rewards... http://www.michellecfitness.com/blog/?p=149
Keep focusing on the here and now. Change your mind and make fitness fun.
Over the past month I have completely immersed myself in yoga. Keep reading, it gets good. I started my teaching as a yoga instructor and slowly lost my wasy from there, delving into anything I could wear spandex in. Over the course of the past 5+ years I have beat myself up teaching 20+ classes per week, most of which were kickboxing and weight training with the occasional step and cycling. All of these are good, but without proper cross training they can take their toll on the body. So I committed to 30 days of yoga 1-2 hours per day. And so it began....
The first few days were a little rough as my body began to detoxify. taht's one of the MAJOR advantages yoga has over other forms of fitness: it works on a cellular level. Once I formed a calendar and kept up with my mat dates I noticed my flexibility returning and my self confidence soaring. My fire like temper was becoming more controllable and my creativity in my training and my writing opened up.
The Ashtanga tradition was my yoga of choice (though I had fun sprinkling in some Kundalini and Anysara as well). Let me tell you, if rockin arms are on the top of your to-do list Ashtanga should be your go-to toner! Ashtanga translates to 8 lImbed (or limbs) and refers to the 8 limbs of yoga. It is challenging though I encourage you to approach it with an open mind. Ashtanga Yoga works wonders for those of us who like a little structure to our workouts (if you live in the group X room , that would be you) and provides both strength and cardiovascular benefit.
I haven't lifted any weights other than that which belongs to me in a month and I feel awesome! Best news of all: I have definition. My arms are defined, yet long. My thighs have thinned out and elongated and I feel better about my abs than I have in years.It took some getting used to as my mind has been programmed that if I don't feel like I'm going to die I'm obviously not working hard enough; however I'm proof that you can love your body into better shape. My arthritis isn't flaring up nearly as much and my intuitive eating skills feel even sharper.
So, whether you're looking to add some cross training or forgo your regular routine for a while, Ashtange yoga might just be your path to fitness elightenment.....and great arms :)
Don't get turned off by the word bran! I was playing in the kitchen the other night and came up with this recipe for a tasty dessert or healthy grab and go breakfast. You take in about 150 cals per muffin with almost no fat (<2g) it's a good snack. Just watch your portions!
Blueberry Bran Muffins
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unbleached bread flour (go as natural as you can)
1/2 cup oat bran
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ginger
2 tablespoons ground flax meal
Mix dry ingredients together ensuring baking soda/powder are clump free!
In another bowl mix:
2 mashed ripe bananas
2 eggs (whisked)
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons no sugar added orange juice
1/2 cup natural sweetener (sucanat works well)
Gently stir wet ingredients into dry then fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries
Fill muffin tins to about 1/2 full (make sure to use liners or non stick spray)
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen.

Who is Ned Rocknroll? Meet Kate Winslet's New Husband!
Kate Winslet surprised everyone by the news that she secretly wed her boyfriend Ned Rocknroll earlier this month in New York.
Now the question on a lot of people's mind is – who is he?! Let us fill you in:
First off, Ned Rocknroll is not his real name. The 34-year-old businessman was born Abel Smith and he is the nephew of Virgin Group founder Richard Branson. He currently works for his uncle's company Virgin Galactic, which is the space-travel division of the Branson empire. Before his relationship with Kate, Ned was previously married to British socialite Eliza Pearson for two years.
It was widely reported in the summer of 2011 how Kate spent time on Branson's private island when the house caught fire and she and the other guests had to evacuate. What many don't remember is that Kate was still with former boyfriend Louis Dowler at the time and split quickly after. Perhaps she fell for Ned during the vacay? Kate and Ned were soon spotted together for the first time a couple months later!
10+ pictures inside of Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll through the years…

How do we find out the length/timing of a vowel count while reciting Qur'an?
How do we find out the length/timing of a vowel count while reciting Qur'an?
Assalamu Alaikum. I am really confused.
I have read in your Tajweed answers that we cannot find out the vowel count of a letter, counting them on our fingers as this is not an accurate method. For example if we are reading a word or verse in the Qur'an that is two, four or six vowel counts long, we cannot counts these on our fingers in a medium normal pace, as this not an accurate way to be measured.
For example, in Sura Naba, the first Ayah: 'AmmaYaTaSaaaaAloooon. Can we count on our fingers four vowel counts for "Saaaa" and "Aloooon"?
Which way should we count the vowel counts for a beginner whether they are 2, 4 or 6 vowel counts long?
May Allah Reward you abundantly.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
The matter is quite easy and insha' Allah not confusing at all. One vowel count is the time it takes us to say a letter with a vowel. For example: is one vowel count. If you multiply that by two, you get the timing of two vowel counts, which equals the time of: , this is the same time as a medd letter, meaning equal to the timing when we read: . Four vowel counts would be the timing of saying this twice e.g. .
The timing for each vowel depends on our speed of reading, but the time of one vowel count should be consistent throughout our reading at each sitting, or section.. The is the reason why counting with our fingers is not a reliable method is that our fingers may move faster or slower than the actual vowel counts of our reading. We need to develop an inner measure of our reading and multiply it out. It will come naturally after a while insha' Allah.
For the beginner, the teacher should point out that a particular medd is too long or too short and read the correct length for the student, so they can copy the teacher. This will develop the inner measure to be accurate at all times.
May Allah grant you the correct timing and ability to discern the correct lengthening count from the incorrect one.
Wa iyyaakum.
Wa assalaam

Point and Click
Kolt is a bounty hunter and now he is in the great Trashopolis, a huge agglomeration of blue buildings surrounded by a rough desert. His problems begin during a typical working day, when an evil person blames him for the great escape from the space prison. Now Kolt is wanted and he must leave the city. Only in the desert he can find the help he needs, offered by the legendary bounty hunter Scar the Pumpkin. Space Hunter is a sci-fi cartoon adventure game with a classic point-and-click interface. It uses a verb-coin system for the interaction. When a character or an object are clicked, a coin interface appears with the actions "talk", "use" and "look".Read More

As a former supporter and worker in the Republican Party, I can't help but wonder about the sanity of the present leadership of that party. It has spent all of this year talking about how flawed everyone running for president is and who is the most flawed.
As a former supporter and worker in the Republican Party, I can't help but wonder about the sanity of the present leadership of that party. It has spent all of this year talking about how flawed everyone running for president is and who is the most flawed.
Has anyone who is now a Republican ever heard of the 11th commandment for Republicans as put forth by Ronald Reagan? Anyone who has gone through that summer meat grinder has about as much chance of getting elected president as an unknown.
The present-day leadership of that party must have come in after I left in the early 1970s because anyone who remembers the bad old days of the early 1960s in the southern United States would never make the mistake these yahoos are making.
In the southern part of our country in 1960, there was only one party, the Democrats!
The Civil War made invaders out of anything Republican, and it meant you were a turncoat if you voted for one. My own father tore me a new one because I voted for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for president in 1952.
In Louisiana where I lived, all politics were done by Democratic legislators in a hotel in Baton Rouge. All of the people who would serve as members of Congress in Washington were picked in the hotel, long before the election.
The man who ran as a Republican for governor when Ike carried the state for president in 1952 got only 3,000 votes, running with Eisenhower on the same ticket. There had not been a Republican primary for Congress in the 20th century in Louisiana until I won one in 1966.
Anyone who tried to run for any offices as a Republican or perform any function in politics served in about the same position as George Armstrong Custer at the Little Big Horn in 1876. Other than the aforementioned race for Congress, I made tries for state representative and mayor of Baton Rouge.
We slowly began to build a workable political party over the years, but it took a lot of effort.
We had help from some national Republicans, many of whom are gone, such as Jerry Ford, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. I got to know them all, and they were very good people.
Goldwater helped me when I ran for Congress, and I spent the first part of 1968 working for Reagan before and during the Republican National Convention as a floor leader when he tried to stop Richard Nixon from getting the presidential nomination.
Building a second political party in the Deep South was a very worthwhile operation, but it can be tossed away with a few campaigns like the one we have going now.
In case anyone is wondering why I stopped my efforts for the Republican Party, the answer is the entrance into the party by people who did not use reason in politics. Their sole objective was to turn the state Republican Party into a religious organization.
We had several encounters with groups such as the John Birch Society and other special groups, but we managed to co-exist with them and make progress. The arrival in about 1972 of a group that wanted all of the members to begin all meetings by all of us praying to its deity caused problems for me.
Mixing politics with religion is like mixing gasoline and fire. The best example around today is Iran.

The MSI Wind U110 suddenly stopped going into suspend more in newer kernels starting at 2.6.34. A kernel developed found where the issue is located. Actually the system did go into suspend mode, but it came right back immediately.
The issue is very easy and quickly solved, though, with a single simple command:
echo LID | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup
Now I can go into suspend again, and the system still comes back from suspend as expected, nice! :)
Unfortunately for some reasons this does still not mean that suspend is working in Ubuntu 10.04 for me. Probably an issue related to the updated Xserver in 10.04. Though I can suspend and resume now, X crashes and restarts after resume.

Hilarious Letterman Video Featuring Casey Kasem Counting Down His Favorite Numbers
Following the death of the Casey Kasem, all corners of the internet have been scoured for video of the legendary entertainer. Well, the Late Show with David Letterman just unearthed a gem of a clip from 1993 that featured the 'countdown king' doing the countdown with Letterman.
Kasem is known for many things, but the American Top 40 is his biggest claim to fame. Millions can remember listening to Kasem count down the hits each week on the radio. In this video, Kasem counts down (with Dave) his Top 10 Favorite Numbers.
Trust me, this is hilarious.
RIP Casey Kasem.

Schools called off class, the Livingston County Courthouse closed, the library closed and authorities were urging motorists to stay home today (Thursday), if at all possible, in anticipation of a winter storm that was expected to blanket the area with between eight and 10 inches of snow.
The joint Emergency Operations Center for Livingston County and the City of Chillicothe was opened at level one.
"We are requesting that all local business and government offices consider closing and sending any non-essential personnel home," said Chillicothe Fire Chief Darrell Wright early this morning (Thursday).
"Based on the best information available at the time of the release, the storm is tracking towards this area and conditions are expected to rapidly change," Wright said. "This is the type of storm where motorist will become stranded."
The National Weather Service predicted heavy snow to start falling mid-morning and continue through Friday morning. Thunder was anticipated as well to accompany the snow, resulting in higher snow rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour at times.
Wind gusts were expected to reach 30 mph, thus creating blowing and drifting snow. Freezing drizzle was also expected to mix in at times Thursday evening. No ice accumulation was expected.
Snow Ordinance: Chillicothe Mayor Chuck Haney announced on Wednesday that the Emergency Snow Ordinance for the City of Chillicothe was in effect. Vehicles are to be removed from streets identified as snow routes, and along the streets in the downtown area so that snow removal efforts could take place.
Grocery stores were busy with shoppers stocking up on necessities of milk and bread Wednesday evening and this morning. Shovels and snow boots were also big-selling items in anticipation of the storm.
Authorities were urging motorists to stay home and only travel in an emergency. They suggested that for those who will be traveling to keep an extra flashlight, food and water in their vehicles in case of an emergency.
The forecast calls for temperatures on Friday to reach the upper 20s, with an overnight low of a frigid 7 degrees. Saturday's temperature is expected to reach a high of around 30, with a low of 16. There's a good chance that the snow will start melting on Sunday, with temperatures expected to reach the upper 30s.
Sheltering Available The fire department has sheltering available for stranded motorists.
"If you become stranded, please stay in your vehicle and contact 911," said Fire Chief Darrell Wright.
Anyone with questions should contact the Emergency Operation Center at 660-646-2139.
Area braces for storm's arrival
Schools called off class, the Livingston County Courthouse closed, the library closed and authorities were urging motorists to stay home today (Thursday), if at all possible, in anticipation of a winter storm that was expected to blanket the area with between eight and 10 inches of snow.

Happy celebrity news to share! People reports today that one of my favourite babes, the lovely Gwen Stefani is expecting her second child. Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale welcomed their first child, Kingston, on May 26, 2006.
In an August 2007 interview with InStyle, Stefani called Kingston "the best thing that has ever happened to me" and said she was eager for another addition to the family. "Obviously I'm in a race to have another, but I don't want to do it while on tour," Stefani said at the time. "I can't wait to get pregnant again. It's so fun and consuming and romantic."

Perhaps I have babies on the brain this week post Sunday baby shower...either way, the Rossdales are one of my favourite celebrity families and I couldn't be more excited for them!

The Virgin Mary was a witness and participant in all these matters and was at the heart of the Christian community. The brethren of the Lord were also members of the early Christian community.
Why must there be someone else? There was, in any case, our Lord himself, and the shepherds, and all manner of others who remembered the events. Elisabeth for a while. John the Baptist himself. The family of the Lord.
