The US Supreme Court on Monday let stand an appeals court ruling that seventh- and eighth-grade students in a Pennsylvania school district have a free speech right to wear bracelets proclaiming "i ♥ boobies!"
School officials had asked the high court to take up the case and reverse the ruling to allow administrators more leeway to censor messages worn by students at school. The high court turned aside the appeal without comment.
The bracelets were designed to build awareness of the struggle against breast cancer, and wearing them became a fad among a group of 11- to 14-year-old middle-school students in the Easton Area School District in eastern Pennsylvania.
School officials were uncomfortable with the sexual double-entendre and concluded that the slang reference to female anatomy constituted lewd or vulgar speech that detracted from the school's educational purpose. They worried that the bracelets might contribute to a sexually hostile environment at school.
They banned the bracelets.
They took the action even though the school district had voted to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In an effort to enforce the ban, a school official made a televised announcement instructing students not to wear the bracelets to school. That announcement was made the day before Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
Most students followed the mandate. But two female students, ages 12 and 13, wanted to make a statement. They asked their mothers for permission to wear their bracelets to school to show solidarity with those fighting the disease and in defiance of the school ban. The mothers agreed.
At school, administrators confronted the girls and ordered them to remove their bracelets. They refused.
Both were placed on in-school suspension for the rest of the day and another full day. They were also barred from attending the school district's Winter Ball.
The students sued. A federal judge agreed with the girls that the "i ♥ boobies!" message is not inherently sexual.
The school district appealed.
The full Third US Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia took up the issue and also sided with the girls. Voting 9 to 5, the appeals court said the message on the bracelets is protected speech by the students because "i ♥ boobies!" is not plainly lewd and can plausibly be interpreted as commenting on a social issue.
In asking the Supreme Court to overturn the Third Circuit decision, lawyers for the school district argued that the appeals court undercut the authority of school officials to bar messages from their schools that they consider lewd, vulgar, profane, or obscene.
"There is no suggestion in… [existing Supreme Court precedents] that student speech full of sexual innuendo or scatological implications must be tolerated by the Constitution just because an argument can be made to connect them with some political or social cause," John Freund III, a Bethlehem, Pa., lawyer, wrote in his brief on behalf of the school district.
He said the appeals court abused its discretion. "School administrators should have the authority to prohibit speech reasonably deemed lewd," Mr. Freund said.
Arguing for the girls, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union urged the high court to reject the appeal and allow the Third Circuit decision to stand.
They said the girls had worn the bracelets to school for two months without incident prior to the school's ban. The ACLU lawyers said the bracelets are part of a positive campaign to spread awareness.
The bracelets are part of a campaign "designed to resonate with young women by employing familiar language that young people will find neutral and non-threatening," wrote Mary Roper of the American Civil Liberties Foundation of Pennsylvania in her brief.
The girls and their peers do not consider the term "boobies" to be vulgar, she said. They use the term to refer to their own and other women's breasts, Ms. Roper said.
She said the girls did not view the bracelets as a sexual double-entendre.
"The bracelets sparked conversations with their classmates about breast cancer, and did not provoke any sexual comments about 'boobies,' " Roper said.
School officials said in their petition to the high court that some middle-school boys had made harassing comments about how they liked "boobies," too.
Lawyers for the girls said the reports are overblown.
A friend of the court brief filed by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) warned that the Third Circuit's decision presents school officials with an unworkable standard for student speech that will undermine school discipline.
"If left undisturbed, this new standard for analyzing regulation of student speech will leave school officials powerless when students push the envelope by including a sliver of political speech in an otherwise inappropriate image or phrase that school officials have determined has no place in that learning environment," wrote Francisco Negron Jr., in his brief on behalf of the NSBA.
"School officials in the Third Circuit must now attempt to apply a new complex test to lewd student expression on endless 'plausible' political and social issues – testicular cancer, colo-rectal cancer, immigration, education, politics, the US military and its role in foreign affairs – none of which will be subject to regulation unless they meet some legally defined notion of 'plainly lewd,' " he said.

Snooki's ex-boyfriend, Emilio Masella, has shocked fans by revealing he wants her to miscarry her first child.
Masella, who split from the Jersey Shore star whose real name is Nicole Polizzi two years ago, made the vicious slur during an interview with TMZ.com.
He told the news website: "I hope for her sake ... not to be rude or anything ... but I hope she has a miscarriage."
Masella, whose turbulent relationship with Snooki ended after he was accused of cheating on her, said she was not ready to be a mother although she frequently spoke of wanting children when they were together.
"When I was with her, she said she wanted twins. She would always say 'Let's have twins'.
"I would def recommend her to get pregnancy test to see who the father is because I'm sure there are other subjects."
A still bitter Masella predicted the quick demise of Snooki's new relationship with Jionni, even though he said they were likely to get married.
She would "pull a Kim Kardashian [and] have the baby and break up with him right after", said Masella.

Osteoporosis update for men
Do you need to be concerned about age-related bone loss? Yes—but not as much as women do.
With aging comes a greater risk for osteoporosis: a decline in bone strength that puts you at risk of fractures. The face of osteoporosis in America is primarily that of a postmenopausal woman, but men are not entirely immune. "Women start losing bone earlier, primarily because of menopause, but men do lose bone, too—starting about 10 years later," says Dr. David Slovik, an endocrinologist and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Canada in Global Affairs: New Challenges, New Approaches
On 29 and 30 March, The Hague Institute and the University of Ottawa hosted an international conference on "Canada in Global Affairs" in Ottawa. The conference brought together leading national and international experts on state fragility, global justice, and the reform of global institutions to discuss Canada's role in addressing current and future global challenges.
The opening plenary featured Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Honourable Stéphane Dion, who elaborated on the principle of "responsible conviction," which will guide Canada's foreign policy under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "Responsible conviction" requires that a sense of responsibility underpin the values and convictions that shape Canada's international engagement. Foreign Minister Dion emphasized Canada's commitment to taking a leading role in combatting climate change and increasing support for conflict prevention efforts and peacekeeping operations. He also highlighted the importance of engaging with the United Nations, which though imperfect, remains a principal tool of multilateral action. The Foreign Minister cautioned, however, that engagement should not be confused with agreement.
Hague Institute President Dr. Abi Williams addressed the plenary session thereafter, and outlined how Canada could make a difference on the world stage as a capable and compassionate actor. He expressed that the spirit of internationalism, which was personified by former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, must guide our efforts to address the multiple global crises with which we are confronted today.
On the theme of conflict prevention, Dr. Williams underscored that conflict prevention techniques must be an integral part of peacebuilding efforts after conflict as well as before – preventing the onset and recurrence of conflict is vital. He acknowledged that conflict prevention typically requires a level of political will that is not commonly in high supply, but noted that obstacles intrinsic to the nature of domestic politics are not insurmountable. Indeed, properly marshalled, the arguments for encouraging the mobilization of prevention efforts are compelling and should help reframe the issue as a priority for all.
Dr. Williams also highlighted the importance of international justice and the rule of law, discussing the pivotal role of The Hague in promoting the international legal order, as both a symbol of international law and the locus of its practice. He noted that The Hague's remarkable justice institutions, including the International Criminal Court, are currently in great need of support, and urged states to ensure that these institutions are used and supported.
The third and final theme on which Dr. Williams reflected was that of global governance. He observed that we face pressing global challenges beyond the control of any single state and that the world needs better leadership and a more capable system of global governance. Dr. Williams stated that The Hague Institute and The Stimson Center convened the Commission on Global Security, Justice & Governance, which was co-chaired by former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright and former Nigerian Foreign Minister, Ibrahim Gambari, to propose how to leverage the capacities of actors worldwide to respond more effectively to contemporary global challenges. The Commission's final report shows an appreciation of the inevitable tensions between the fundamental concepts of security and justice, but identifies new opportunities where global security and justice can be mutually reinforcing. It also contains far-reaching, yet politically grounded recommendations to improve global governance. Dr. Williams also moderated a dialogue on Canada's response to global challenges with Commission Co-Chair Ibrahim Gambari, and Commissioner Lloyd Axworthy, a former Foreign Minister of Canada.
The two-day conference featured a number of eminent speakers, including The Honorable Louise Arbour, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights; Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO; Adama Dieng, UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide; The Right Honorable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada; and The Honorable Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia and Chair of the Independent Commission on Multilateralism.

Metromile, the provider that lets you pay-per-mile for insurance, said that it has raised a whopping $191.5 million in funding — "primarily equity", according to CEO Dan Preston. Metromile will use the money to acquire an insurance carrier called Mosaic Insurance to handle the underwriting of its policies itself; as well as to expand new states in the U.S. and continue building its platform. Preston declined to disclose the company's valuation with its latest round. As notable as the size of Metromile's funding is the list of investors behind it.

Right to it then. For our thirteen year old, a one year subscription to the Japanese fashion magazine, FRUITS. Thanks to its creator and photographer, Shoishi Aoki, for satisfying my daughter's fascination with harajuku street fashion. Subscription can be bought directly at FRuiTS or at Amazon.com.
How about that LOMO? Never heard of these till my daughter visited Fredflare.com. Now we all want one.
Each Lomo camera model focuses on one photographic effect. Every shot in the red Oktomat will take 8 successive pictures in under 3 sec producing an 8-frame photo vignette. Sounds basic but the effects are pretty cool. See sample shots here. Other models include the Fish Eye, Action Sampler and Colorsplash. We wouldn't mind having any one of them. They're pretty affordable too. From what I understand, lomography is less about technique than it is about the spontaneity of picture taking; these cameras with their fun design, effects and simplicity in taking a shot do nothing but encourage it. For more info on Lomography, visit www.lomography.com.
Also spotted on Fredflare.com, is this little something for my nine year old. She loves the eighties and has been dying to play some of our "old" records.
Ana, my 11 year old, loves horses (and cows) and has the occasional ride. She dreams of living in France where she'll live as a veterinarian on a farm full of horses and cows (and snakes, birds, hamsters…). Sorry, Ana, we have no room for horses on our townhouse lot. Somehow I know you'll end up in France on a farm with a couple of horses and cows and your father and I will visit you in our old age and never want to leave. So make room for us, will ya?
More to come…..

My name is Colleen. By day, I'm a marketing coordinator at a publishing company; by night, I'm a bride-to-be planning an out-of-town wedding with my long-distance fiancé.
My fiancé and I am looking to plan a cost-effective yet unique wedding. Heck, these days being low-cost probably is unique. We're trying to come in at under $10,000. Basically, I have found so much inspiration from other bridal blogs and seeing the ideas other brides are putting to use that I feel like I'd like to contribute my ideas too. Plus, my fiancé and I have been coming up with some strange ideas, as have our parents (who are contributing financially), that no one really agrees with, so at the very least maybe you'll get a ridiculously dramatic tale of an epic battle over centerpieces.
So enjoy, share your ideas, leave comments (just not mean ones, I'll delete those because I'd rather share love than viciousness), and watch me plan a cheap and quirky (and yet classy) wedding.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chobani. All opinions are 100% mine.
We are still having warm weather, and even when it starts to cool off, my kids are not gonna be ready to give up their frozen treats. I'm not sure what it is about it, but my kids must love getting brain freezes! One of Gracie's favorite after school snacks is a Chobani Yogurt.
We LOVE that Chobani Kids® and Chobani Tots® contain real fruits and vegetables, and nothing artificial. That means only natural ingredients, no preservatives or artificial colors or flavors. Anad all contain less than 5% lactose, are gluten-free, and have live and active cultures and probiotics. So when she comes home from school or even playing with friends, I have no guilt handing her a yogurt to curve her munchies. (read about each of the products below!!) One of Gracie's favorite ways to eat her yogurt is to freeze the Chobani Kids® Pouches and eat it like a popsicle. I love being able to give her what she wants and not feel like I'm filling her with stuff that's bad for her. I LOVE that she loves to eat healthy but still get a delicious treat. But she always gets frozen little hands while eating them. As soon as she gets it in her hands, she runs and grabs the kitchen towel to wrap around it to keep her hands warm. Well, I got sick of her using my towels and never bringing them back to the kitchen, so I came up with a solution. I sewed her a bunch of popsicle sleeves to put the yogurt tubes in that will keep her fingers nice and toasty. Today I'm gonna share my tutorial on how I made them. I cut 2 different fabrics; a normal cotton and a kinky soft fabric, to size (I cut mine to the wrong size first…The perfect size ended up being 3 inches wide by 10 inches long. Then put the two wrong sides together and sew up the top and bottom (the 3 inch sides) using a straight stitch. The regular cotton will feed thru your sewing machine the easiest, so put that one on the bottom when possible. Next fold your fabric in half with the outside fabric (the cotton) on the inside of the fold. Sew once again with a straight stitch down the two sides. This will leave one opening at the top. **Make sure you back stitch each time you start a new stitch. Once you've sewn both sides, turn the holder inside out and clip off all excess threads. You are all ready to keep your little one's hands warm!

Throughout the process of creating our final video from Zeropink, we were quite confused and had a few obstacles to pass through to get to the end. It had taught me a lot that time management is key and group collaboration. Initially we had a different idea and aim for our video and due to the challenges, it left us with a few surprises, which I ended up liking. Lacuna became very clear to me throughout each lesson and process of making the video. It was a lot subtler in our final project, which I slightly preferred rather than showing what the gap in-between was.
Throughout the semester, each lesson we had learnt different techniques we could use for our final performance art piece, and the main techniques that had stuck by us was from overlaying and projection mapping through editing. This heavily helped support the concept and what we were trying to achieve for our final performance art piece. I found that the best footage and editing was through experimentation rather than planning, as when we did plan nothing went the way we wanted it to be and we were left disappointed. This was very strange for us as the group is very structural and organized. Playing with lighting and the camera angles really helped, as well as the atmosphere, sound and movements. We initially wanted that to be more of an element throughout the film, where we wanted to focus mainly on the digging but as the digging did not work out, we made the entire film based on the atmospheric elements supported by the editing and sounds. When we first started editing and we had put the planned footage next to the experimental footage, it looked quite odd and weak. It was tacky and cliché that led us to our final, which was completely different to what, we had imagined in the first place.
The writing process and techniques we had learnt throughout the course, really helped us think about where to start and how to put our ideas out there. We had all come up with ideas separately and shared them around through the group. This was a great process as we were able to critique each other's ideas and develop it further more. This course was a lot more about collaboration and as some members may have been better at some other things such as editing rather than others but we all shared our opinion on what worked and what did not. Sound editing was also an important technique learnt in class, as it led us not to use an existing sound but rather to make our own and to pay around and edit it. It created a mood and went very well with the footage with timing and the atmosphere.
I also realised throughout this course that even if you plan out everything, sometimes it may not work out and you must have a solution or it might fix itself. This goes with that we had lost our main concept as it wasn't working well as a whole and the idea wasn't coming through very well. This led us to recreate our question and I believe our video answered it very well and represented of the uncanny.

Our whale print has the cutest little whales on a calming sky-blue background.
These soft potty training shorts are an eco-friendly alternative to nighttime diapers that can save you big bucks when compared to buying disposable diapers over and over. Their patent-pending design absorbs moisture to help reduce messes but still leaves a wet sensation to help kids with nighttime potty training.
Overnight diapers are expensive and are not eco-friendly. Peejamas act as absorbent training pants that can be reused for hundreds of washes.
Do you love the earth-friendly features of organic diapers? We do, too, but we also know that they don't offer the benefits of Peejamas' highly absorbent fabric or their specialized design with a high-rising waist to help reduce seeping/leaking. Peejamas training pajamas offer a winning solution—all the benefits of cloth training pants without the drawbacks.
Before you splurge on bedwetting alarms, which can be expensive, unreliable, and intrusive, try Peejamas. They are specially designed to help kids sense when they need to go to the toilet without the loud "bells and whistles" of alarms.
Peejamas are easier on the environment than disposable bed pads. They also offer advantages over waterproof pads for bed wetting, which tend to slide around on the bed and may lose their waterproof properties after too many washes. Since Peejamas are worn, they work well for restless sleepers who may push pads out of place. They can absorb moisture on contact to minimize nighttime leaks, and they can also be washed more than 300 times.
Return policy: Unused and unwashed but tried-on potty training pajamas may be returned; Peejamas that have been washed or used are not eligible for a refund/exchange. All clearance item sales are final.
We want you to love your Peejamas, so customer satisfaction is our top priority. Check out our FAQs.

Dr. Una Forde
"The Gentle Chiropractor"
Born in California and raised in Barbados, a beautiful island in the Caribbean, Dr. Forde became interested in chiropractic while earning a degree in bio-medical sciences from Montana State University in 1986. She moved to Minneapolis to attend Northwestern College of Chiropractic (now Northwestern Health Sciences University) in Bloomington, Minnesota, where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1991. She opened her own practice in 1991.
Further study in healing methods such as certification in acupuncture, Brain Gym techniques and Health Kinesiology added to her body of healing knowledge. From that she developed her treatment philosophy, which is based on The Triad of Health.
"I believe that proper balance in three areas is important for good health," she said. "When our physical, emotional and biochemistry structures are out of balance, illness and/or disease can occur. Proper balance is affected by physical injury, unmet or untreated emotional issues, naturally occurring illnesses and environmental factors."
Dr. Forde believes when your body is balanced it is more able to heal itself under the guidance of the body's own innate healing wisdom. Pain is usually the last sign that your body is blocked from healing itself and the first thing to go away during the healing process.
Proper chiropractic treatment begins when the cause of the imbalance is addressed. Dr. Forde's treatments remove the blocks so your body can heal and return to balanced health.
Her unique skills have earned her the title, "The Gentle Chiropractor."
Dr. Forde provides customized treatment for each patient. You can be assured that you will receive the care you need.
Her training in kinesiology gives her insight into each patient's general health. She can recognize vitamin or mineral deficiencies and prescribe a diet or supplement treatment to improve your bio chemistry – an important part of The Triad of Health. Health kinesiology is also used to treat stressful or emotional situations.

Clear Thinking - Ten Ways
Does your mind sometimes feel like a television station you can't quite tune in? You know there's an interesting program on - or several, but everything is mixed with static. What if you could "tune in" at will, have clear thinking whenever you want it? Try some of the following.
Ten Clear Thinking Techniques And Tips
1. Take a walk. Science will eventually prove this to be a great way to improve the quality of your thinking, but don't wait for the proof. Aren't there enough other reasons to take a walk anyhow?
2. Stay away from sugar. If you want to understand what brain fog is, eat a sugary donut on an empty stomach, then do math problems twenty minutes later. What you will experience, along with the "sugar blues," is brain fog. At least lay off sugar and simple carbohydrates when you need to think clearly.
3. Organized space means clear thinking. It's rare that a person can actually work better in clutter. Organised working space means you won't have the thought "where is that..." distracting your mind.
4. Get better sleep. Sleep requirements vary, but the minimum for most is somewhere around five hours. Some suffer if they sleep less than eight hours. The research, however, indicates that after a certain minimum quantity, the quality of sleep is more important to normal brain function.
5. Try meditating. No time? Just close your eyes, relax, and watch your breath for a while. Accept that your mind will wander, but continually return your attention to your breath. Five minutes of this, and afterwards you'll feel a boost in your brainpower.
6. Resolve your "mind irritations." Watch your busy brain. Maybe a call you need to make has been bothering you, just below consciousness. Find these stressors, and do something to let them go. For example, make that call, or put it on a list, and your mind will let go of it for now. Just seeing a problem and saying, "There's nothing I can do about this until Friday," will often stop unconscious worrying.
7. Don't drink alcohol. At least don't drink too much. While moderate amounts can be conducive to creative thinking, all the evidence says that it is bad for the long-term health of your brain.
8. Make decisions quickly. Nothing gets in the way of clear thinking like a dozen decisions hanging around unmade. If nothing else, decide when you'll make the decision.
9. Get some fresh air. Go outside and breath deeply through your nose. You'll get a good dose of oxtgen to your brain, and the change of surroundings can help clear your mind.
10. Satisfy your physical needs. Clear thinking is easier if you aren't too hungry, thirsty, or hot.
You can think more clearly starting today. There are certainly more than ten ways, but you really only need to make a few of them a habit to have a more powerful brain. Why not try one or two right now?
Steve Gillman writes on many self help topics including boosting brainpower, losing weight, meditation, habits of mind, creative problem solving, learning gratitude, generating luck and anything related to self improvement. You'll find more at http://www.SelfImprovementNow.com

Who Is The Inner Critic?
The inner critic is that voice inside your head that tells you that you aren't good enough, smart enough, talented enough, pretty enough, or strong enough. It nags and natters at you to the point that your self confidence and sense of bravery is destroyed.
Discover the Hidden Power of Self Motivation
Many studies have been done to research the effects of motivation and mental health. As the implications of helping those with negative self-esteem, depression and anxiety are immense this is certainly an area of research that deserves a great deal of attention.
As you prepare to take your first steps, could there possibly be something holding you back?Maybe you have heard the phrase, "false evidence appearing real." It is a common acronym made from the one word that can and will stand in your path to success.
Our Life - Our Choice
OK, maybe that's a bit of an overgeneralization but it applies most of the time. Basically, what I am saying is that we are what we are because that's what we've decided to be.
How to Use the Power of Words to Your Benefit
Someone I know maintains that "motivational words are great coming from philosophers, but that's because they're not in the real world." The power of words can be an incredible aid to helping us remain motivated and focused.
How to Stay Motivated

How to Master Lifes Problems
"Life is a Tiger-ride, by no means easy, but ride we must; to dismount is to be devoured mercilessly."To most people, life is unfriendly, even merciless, and it is not all together incorrect for people to hold such a dreadful opinion about life if vicissitudes of life, unattainable goals and injustices are considered.

The Who Odds & Sods (1974)
Looking to both release an album in 1974 and again beat the bootleggers (a la Live At Leeds) who were distributing crappy versions of songs not yet officially released, John Entwisle pored through tapes of unreleased songs. In some cases the band fixed up songs here and there, others were good to go but simply hadn't fit whatever album they were working on at the time, and the end result was Odds & Sods, one of the better "rarities" collections out there.
Of course, with many of these songs now appearing as bonus tracks on other reissues, albeit often in different versions, this album isn't quite as special as it once was. Then again, the remastered/reissued version of this album added 12 songs to the original version, and as per usual with these albums that's the one I'd recommend getting. Among the original eleven songs, some such as "Postcard" and "Now I'm A Farmer" are very atypical and not in a good way, while others are overly generic ("Put The Money Down"), are included purely for historical purposes ("I'm The Face," the band's first song recorded back when they were The High Numbers), or are good ("Glow Girl") but also appear elsewhere (in this case on The Who Sell Out).
So that's nearly half the album that's pretty forgettable, but the rest of the material is grade-A stuff, including "Too Much Of Anything," a catchy, melodic, country-ish sing along, and "Faith In Something Bigger," another catchy pop nugget on which their harmonies are the highlight. Even better is "Little Billy," recorded for an anti-smoking ad that was never used, but best of all are "Pure And Easy" (one of several Lighthouse outtakes), "Naked Eye," and "Long Live Rock," which actually became a minor hit and perennial radio favorite.
As with many of the songs on Who's Next, "Pure And Easy" (which would've fit perfectly on that album; in fact, its melody shows up at the end of "The Song Is Over") is part ballad, part rocker, and it contains a lovely flowing melody and poetic lyrics, while "Naked Eye" features some of Pete's best studio guitar work ever. As for "Long Live Rock," it's The Who in full on anthem mode, though this one is notable for being influenced by '50s rock 'n' roll, for its enjoyably ironic lyrics, and for Roger/Pete's throat-shredding vocals.
Among the bonus tracks, most were unreleased for a reason, particularly the ones recorded in the mid-to-late '60s, including a couple of Motown covers ("Leaving Here," "Baby, Don't You Do It"), a pair of tracks that pale compared to their definitive Live At Leeds renditions ("Summertime Blues," "Young Man Blues"), a humorous but minor Eddie Cochran cover ("My Way"), and their famous "save Keith and Mick" cover of "Under My Thumb," which also pales next to the Stones original (also, where's "Out Of Time"?). Fortunately, there are several keepers as well.
The exceptionally pretty keyboard-heavy version of "Mary Anne With the Shaky Hand" (guesting Al Kooper) and the rocking, Leslie West assisted "Love Ain't For Keeping" may be my favorite versions of those songs, for example (the latter is worlds better than the version on Who's Next, largely due to Leslie's soaring guitar work). "Time Is Passing" is utterly gorgeous, surpassing the version on Pete's first solo album Who Came First since it sounds more fully fleshed out and has that lovely harmonium sound going for it. Also included is the short, odd Tommy discard "Cousin Kevin Model Child," the forgettable "We Close Tonight," and a studio version of "Water," a stage favorite from the early '70s that sounds much better live, alas.
Still, excessive filler aside, it's hard to fault the suits at MCA for being overly generous, as Odds & Sods remains an extremely interesting album (albeit one designed for hardcore fans) in the way that it shows off so many different sides of the band. Besides, there are a handful of essential Who songs, or essential versions of Who songs, that can't be found anywhere else, so if you're a big fan of the band you'd do well to pick this album up.
The Who Odds And Sods (1974)
Originally released as a deterrent against the extensive bootleg market of unreleased songs, this is the Who collection that you probably already have if you started listening to them after they began remastering and re-releasing all of their albums. Many of these songs have been inserted as bonus tracks with the album whose context they were originally recorded or composed (or in the case of the Lifehouse songs attached to Who's Next). This, to me, is a superior arrangement, as many of these songs, excellent on their own and in the context of their respective recording sessions, have little cohesion here. So while there's a good chance this album is redundant, if you enjoy listening to album exclusively in their original incarnation or if you're some old fogey who remembers buying Tommy when it first came out on vinyl, then this collection is for you.
While it's never wise to come into a B-side collection with expectations of cohesion, this one has an especially inconsistent tone. Unlike strong examples of such releases, The Smashing Pumpkins' Pieces Iscariot immediately comes to mind, where the recordings were taken from a somewhat limited time frame or revolve around a similar idea or style, this album is a jumble of tracks from an eleven year recording span, from the time when they called themselves The High Numbers to the release of Quadrophenia. Accordingly, what we get is a vertigo worthy crash course through history, yet an oddly jumbled one, as the band has not put the tracks in chronological order, so that The Who Sell Out era "Little Billy" and "Glow Girl" are sandwiched between three Lifehouse songs, while "I'm the Face," their first single is near the end of the album and would have been out of place almost anywhere they stuck it. It seems as if the intention here is to break up the songs from a particular era to prevent the album from feeling disjointed; unfortunately, it is a decision that has the exact opposite effect. At the same time, it's nice that the track list is somewhat limited. What we get is the best of the worst, the cream of the chaff, and while the quality is spotty, it's not nearly as spotty as most exhaustive compilations.
Individually, the songs are generally good, and while they never bore, their quality is somewhat inconsistent. Aside from a few standout tracks, it won't live up to repeated listens, and mostly serves as a history lesson and a method to analyze influences, as the voices of other bands shine through on this album more so than their official releases. "Now I'm A Farmer" sounds like it would just as easily work on an outtake compilation from The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society sessions, and "Faith In Something Bigger" shows the influence of groups like The Byrds and The Turtles. It's particularly interesting, because the Who were generally innovative on their records, concealing their influences and allowing their own voice to make itself heard, so that aside from the fact that it's obvious they listened to The Pretty Things S.F. Sorrow album, the geneses of their work is often ambiguous.
Similarly it contains bits of who history that never made it to an official release. The inclusion of their first single shows the growth of the band and can be juxtaposed to both the rest of this album and their main discography to note how they've changed over the years. "Glow Girl," one of the best tracks on the album, contains a coda that would become the birth of Tommy, both literally and figuratively, providing an interesting look at the bridge between The Who Sell Out and their famous first rock opera. And this excluding the fact that it's a damn good song in its own right, with driving instrumentation and lyrics about a woman who dies in a plane crash and then immediately being reincarnated (although I think it makes for a much more interesting song to interpret it as a woman giving birth as the plane crashes; somehow that feels more poignant). Along with those are the aforementioned tracks from the abandoned Lifehouse project. Although there is little indication of what the concept of the album would have been based on these tracks alone, with the exception of "Pure and Easy" which explores Townshend's theory about the power of a perfect note or chord, they are, again, an interesting piece of Who history that can be enjoyed on their own or as a vehicle to feel wistful about what could have been. Lastly, it's nice to see the inclusion of studio favorites such as "Naked Eye," even though it falls short in comparison to live versions.
The problem is that for every few brilliant or intriguing songs, there are strange and obvious stinkers. The closer, "Long Live Rock," is a generic addition to the ubiquitous collection of rock musicians writing homages to their genre. Although The Who certainly rocked hard, it's a little topically strange for them, and it's pretty clear why it never made any of their albums. The same can be said for "Now I'm A Farmer," which musically sounds like a Who song, but lyrically not at all.
In the end, the title of the album really says it all. This is a rough collection, and while it's a fascinating piece of history of one of the most prolific rock bands in history, it isn't exactly for the casual fan, or for someone expecting a coherent release. Those willing to wade through it, however, will find moments of wealth can hold their own with the best work of their career.
The Who Odds And Sods (1974)
A slightly more obscure album of outtakes selected and cleaned up by John while the other band members were following their own fortunes. The good Ox thus lent a hand to the band in that (a) 1974 did not pass out without a Who album and (b) some of the real good stuff has been given out instead of dusting on the shelves. Still, one should always approach an outtake album with caution since, well, outtakes are usually something the band does not like from the start, and if even the band itself does not like 'em, why should we? In fact, the only great outtakes album I know seems to be Tattoo You, but most of them were reworked, so it's not a clear-cut case… Oh, never mind.
This stuff mostly falls in three categories, one of which is Lifehouse outtakes, the other one is tunes written somewhere around 1972-73 but not directly related to any conceptual project, and the most precious part is earlier stuff which for the most part rules. Funny enough, they decided to include even their first single which was yet recorded under the High Numbers moniker ('I'm The Face', a dorky mod anthem set to the melody of Slim Harpo's 'Got Love If You Want It' and lyrics of early mod guru Pete Meaden). It's nothing special, but it is funny, and especially weird-looking in this context.
The early stuff also includes the anti-smoke groove 'Little Billy' which was originally made for a cancer society or something like that but rejected because the company thought it was too scary (ha-ha! little Billy didn't mind!), and the gorgeous ballad 'Faith In Something Bigger' with some unsurpassed vocal harmonies and an excellent, soaring guitar solo (modestly hailed in the liner notes by Pete as "the worst I've heard"). Apparently it could have easily fit in on Sell Out. Plus, the shorty 'Glow Girl' provides some insights into the beginnings of Tommy – and did you know that 'Tommy' was supposed to be a girl in the first place? All these songs are very far from being classics, but that's no big reason to dismiss 'em none.
Unfortunately, the 70's stuff is not that good. Sure, it has 'Naked Eye', one of their most fascinating rockers with some of Townshend's most hard-hitting, socially biting, pessimistic lyrics (check out an early, abbreviated, one-verse version on Isle Of Wight, as well as a live version as a bonus track to the re-issue of Who's Next). It's even a bit theatrical, with Roger impersonating the "power guy" and Pete playing the "bitter cynic", thus leading to their more famous vocal interplay on 'Punk And Godfather'. A classic track by all means. But then this stuff also includes 'Pure And Easy', which is the kind of real bombastic stuff I dislike about the Who; it's in the same vein as 'Song Is Over', with even more of that smelly 'universalist' flair, and even its good melody and brilliant, understated, economic guitar solo don't save it from ultimately getting my pukes. And the two songs of lesser cult status – 'Put The Money Down' and 'Too Much Of Anything' – are pretty average: no wonder they were left off of Who's Next. Too slow, plodding and long; can't say that the former lacks power (Roger screams his head off just fine), or that the latter lacks prettiness, but they cause way too little emotional resonance to justify the length and pomp.
The real dreck, though, comes with the even later stuff: Entwistle's bleak travelogue 'Postcard', which unexplicably is used as the album opener, just doesn't bother to be melodious (sadly, somewhere around this time Entwistle's talents at songwriting slowly began to sink down the drain. Maybe that was because he ceased to incorporate black humour? Who can tell?), and 'Now I'm A Farmer' is one of Pete's least convincing grooves.
I do like Keith's hilarious impersonation of a gardener at the end of the track, though – pretty much saves the whole experience for me. Oh well, at least they bothered to have 'Long Live Rock' here. In case you haven't heard it, it's a brilliant anthem to rock music as a genre, and far surpasses the Stones' 'It's Only Rock'n'Roll' in that respect. Might seem a little dumb, but hey, it is meant to seem a little dumb – anthem or not, it's obviously supposed to be taken in an ironic key, and that's the way I take it. Don't know about anybody else. Still, an album that has at least one duffer for every gem is not that big of an achievement, I guess, and my original rating here was a weak seven – which is still pretty good by anybody's standards, and pretty good considered that these are outtakes, but…
PS. Hey, but wait! The new re-release of the album is greatly improved! It has almost twice as many tracks as the original, bringing the album's running time to 77 minutes, and some of them are good. And what's more, it's not just that they are good: actually, none of the bonus tracks are great, but the way they added 'em and rearranged the running order, you get a fascinating "discobiography" of the Who – from their earliest stunts like 'I'm The Face' and 'Leaving Here', through the poppy period, the rocky period, and the mature philosophic period. Kinda like the Beatles' Anthology popped into one seventy-minute discs, only most of the stuff are not raw demo versions, but real accomplished songs you ain't never heard before.
Among the general "additional" goodies you'll find such groovy novelties as studio recordings of 'Summertime Blues' and 'Young Man Blues' (both inferior to the live recordings, quite naturally, but still fun to listen to, especially since these are practically the only pieces of ferocious feedbacky, distorted rock'n'roll they recorded in the 1967-69 pop art era); more Lifehouse outtakes (a 'heavy' version of 'Love Ain't For Keepin" with Pete on vocals, the gorgeous, not-a-bit-overblown ballad 'Time Is Passing'; the studio version of 'Water' – again, inferior to the live takes, because hey, 'Water' is supposed to be ten minutes long, not four, goddammit, but, surprisingly, the distorted solo at the end is truly excellent), and some early bits of amusement (an old acetate of 'Leaving Here'/'Baby Don't You Do It').
Missed anything? Oh sure! What about the hilarious cover of Eddie Cochran's 'My Way'? The pleasant organ version of 'Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand' with Al Kooper on said instrument? The pathetic bluesy "introduction" to 'Cousin Kevin'? The "save-the-Stones" cover of 'Under My Thumb'? The… wait, there's just too much of that stuff here. Hell, it ain't exactly the greatest music these guys ever recorded, but it's all so diverse, intriguing, well-performed and involving that it's no problem for me to upgrade the overall rating one point. Get the reissue, not the original, and screw all you pessimists.

Although based in the UK we split our time between here and Greece (Mr.O's homeland). I came to this game quite late on, despite most thinking this was what I was born to do ("mumming" that is not writing). The eldest of 6 and daughter of a Midwife, I'd had enough of babies by the time I was 16 and spent the next 15 years traveling and working on my career, which back then (in my previous life) involved a lot of sales and marketing as a retail manager.
Now-a-days I mostly split my time desperately trying to balance staying hydrated with house work (yes I'm a kept woman, how vintage!) and article research; normally cake based! And, I think I'm pretty average at it, not the cake eating though, that I'm winning at.
Although, mostly just a hobby and a way to wind down of an evening the main point of this blog is to openly share information. Like most first time parents Google became my new best friend (and foe). Able to ply me with instant answers to any question I had from mucus consistency to stool size, what I found was that pretty much every site Google directed me to would either force feed me somebody else's holier than thou, no budging opinions on how I should live my life or alternatively leave me following a trail of breadcrumbs until finally being led to some form of paid subscription to unlock the pearls of wisdom they were sure I'd been searching for.
Here, there is no right or wrong way. Only a collection of the most helpful information I have found on my journey so far, a continuously growing source of unbiased articles, reviews, tips and 'how to's' for you to read, share and reply to. So, please do, between breastfeeding, bum wiping and washing up I'm quite responsive.
We hope you like what we've prepared for you. Much love,

Wati is 23 years old and already a mother of five. She carries her youngest child in her arms, a 5-month-old girl who has a slight fever. Wati's husband works at the port, where he earns about Rp 20,000 ($2) a day, or sometimes, when he's lucky, up to Rp 30,000. The family of seven lives in a single windowless room so tiny it barely fits one bunk bed, a plastic chair, a gas cooker and several boxes in which they store their clothes.
"There are days when I can't even afford to buy rice," Wati says. "I don't know how to feed my children." Most residents of Luar Batang, an old fishing village in the north of Jakarta, are as poor as Wati's family and also struggle to make ends meet. They live in shacks and run-down houses in narrow lanes that are often flooded at high tide.
"This is the real Jakarta," said Ronny Poluan, the founder of Interkultur, a nongovernmental organization that runs what it calls Hidden Jakarta Tours of the city's poorest areas.
On Friday, Melinda Standish, an Australian writer and filmmaker, and her 12-year-old daughter, Holly, joined Ronny to see the "real" Jakarta. Having spent five days in Bali, the pair had come to the capital to visit a friend, and decided to take the tour instead of sightseeing on their own.
"I had heard about this tour from a colleague in Australia," Melinda said, "and I think it's a good way to show my daughter that there are also poor people in this world who didn't grow up as privileged as she did. I think it's fantastic what Ronny does."
The Luar Batang tour, one of several that Interkulur offers, started at noon from the Hotel Borobudur, a luxuriously elegant hotel in the heart of Jakarta, where Melinda and Holly were staying. It felt a little awkward to sit in the five-star lobby on cushioned sofas while listening to Ronny's introduction, in which he explained how and why Hidden Jakarta Tours started.
"In the beginning, I used to take my friends to those areas," he said. "Then I thought, why not make it formal, offer it to tourists who want to experience something different."
The Interkultur Foundation has operated since February 2008. In addition to Ronny and his wife, Anneke Rompas, Rob Finlayson, an adviser with Volunteering for International Development from Australia, also takes part in the tours.
"It has been difficult to promote this program," Finlayson said. "Things have only been starting to get busy in the last couple of weeks, after a local TV station followed us and showed what we do."
The foundation currently offers the tours to order.
For the Luar Batang tour, Melinda paid a fee of Rp 700,000 — Rp 350,000 each. The price covers administrative costs, a fee for the guides, donations for the poor, transportation and food and drinks. Melinda also voluntarily gave extra to be given as donations to the people she would encounter.
Our small group began the journey by taking the busway to Kota, where we boarded an angkot (minibus), then eventually a bajaj (three-wheeled motorized becak). We passed Fatahillah Square with its museums and the famous Cafe Batavia, the usual stops on most sightseeing tours, and stopped at Sunda Kelapa harbor's Old Watchtower, built in the 17th century and a reminder of Batavia's past importance as a port.
From there, we continued on foot to Luar Batang. Before we entered the labyrinth of small streets and lanes, Holly announced that she was hungry.
"Sure, we can have something to eat first," Ronny said, before leading the way to a roadside warung serving mie ayam. The young man serving us seemed astonished to have foreign customers. "Many tourists pass by here," he said, "but hardly any of them sit down to eat."
Holly seemed perfectly at ease eating mie ayam and sipping Teh botol while dangdut music played in the background, but Melinda admitted she was somewhat apprehensive.
"I am fascinated, for sure," she said, "but at the same time, I don't really know how to behave. Can I just look at the people? Shall I smile at them? I don't really know how to behave."
Having sated our hunger with the local fare, we continued our tour.
Ronny, Anneke and Finlayson were obviously well known within the community. After wandering through the busy and crowded alleys for a while, followed by children, teenagers and women who tirelessly called "Hello, mister" and greeted us with friendly smiles, we arrived at Wati's room. Though she was welcoming and invited us inside, it felt awkward, like we were invading her privacy.
The tours have been criticized as exploitation of Jakarta's poor and a Kompas article in late May linked them to reality television shows that give a melodramatic depiction of life in the slums. Finlayson disagreed, saying the tours operate from the basic assumption that all people are the same.
"The way I see it," he said, "we are not taking people there to look at poverty, but to introduce them to ordinary people. Most of the tourists who come here are also ordinary people in their home countries who are just privileged enough to come from a wealthy country."
Anneke talked with Wati a while, then handed her an envelope containing money, before taking us to visit another struggling mother, Enny.
"I had to take my 12-year-old son out of school," Enny said. "I couldn't afford to pay for it. My husband ran away, and I don't get any support from the government."
Her son didn't speak any English but took an instant liking to Holly — they were, after all, close in age — and, taking her by the hand, pulled her into the small room where he lives with his family. Even though they could only communicate with gestures, they clearly got along, as proved by their smiles and laughter.
"It is hard to decide who should get the money," Anneke said. "There are so many people who need it. But normally, we let them decide among themselves who needs it the most at the moment." Enny was also given an envelope containing cash. "Now he can go back to school, thank you," she said, putting her arm around her son.
It was already late afternoon, and Ronny decided to head back after making a final stop. Our hostess this time was a 90-year-old woman living in a similar tiny, windowless room. Her home was dark and damp and had no furniture except one table, where she sits, eats and even sleeps. To support herself, the woman collects and sells empty bottles for Rp 2,000 each. "I don't have any family, there is nobody to support me," she said. Anneke gave her a last envelope.
As we waited for a bus at Kota station to take us back to our own reality, we were all a little subdued.
"It was definitely a great experience," Melinda said. "But I felt very uncomfortable to just enter people's homes like that, it feels so voyeuristic. But then again, I think the voyeurism goes both ways."
Looking at her daughter, she said, "When I was about Holly's age, my parents took me to Turkey. I remember that somehow we got lost and suddenly were in the back alleys of a traditional bazaar. It was such a great adventure, and for me, that was one of the most memorable moments of the trip.
"I hope Holly feels the same."

Kiss, Nirvana, Ronstadt, Gabriel to be inducted into 2014 Rock Hall of Fame
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be able to rock and roll all nite and smell like teen spirit in 2014.
Kiss and Nirvana lead the roster for the next Rock Hall class, which will be inducted on April 10 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Nirvana was on the ballot for the first time this year, while the absence of Kiss, a perennial Detroit favorite, has been long lamented by fans.
The two will be joined by Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Daryl Hall & John Oates and Cat Stevens in the Performers category. The E Street Band, which many felt should have been inducted with Springsteen in 1999, will receive the Award for Music Excellence, while Beatles manager Brian Epstein and Rolling Stones manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham will be presented with Ahmet Ertegun Awards or nonperformers.
Other nominees this year included Deep Purple, the Meters, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Chic, the Zombies, the Replacements and rap acts LL Cool J and N.W.A.
John Oates says he and Hall whose vocal supporters included syndicated TV host Rachael Ray are looking forward to the ceremony, which will be filmed by HBO for broadcast in May. I will be there with bells on. Im dusting off my suit, man, he says. Im really going to enjoy it and I think its a great class, so to speak. I think the artists are really cool and Im honored to be in this particular class and with all the other prior inductees.
The 2014 ceremony will be the Rock Halls first in Brooklyn after previous inductions were held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel and also the first in the New York area to be open to the public. Tickets will go on sale to the public in January, with a pre-sale for members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum starting at 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31. Details are available at www.rockhall.com. Additionally, the museum in Cleveland will be opening a special exhibit dedicated to the 2014 inductees early in the new year.

Lincoln, Neb. — Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol are seeking information on the whereabouts of a suspect identified in connection to a double homicide in Douglas, Nebraska.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts or activities of Brindar H. Jangir, 36, of Sioux City, Iowa, is urged to call the Nebraska State Patrol at 402-479-4921. If you see him, call 911 immediately. Jangir is extremely dangerous and may be armed.

Water tap is one of the equipment that must be owned by every house
There is a large selection of water taps of various models and sizes on the market. So many choices actually make it more difficult to make choices.
There are many considerations when making your choice of faucet for your favorite sink. The following are some things to consider when choosing the right faucet for the sink.
1. Function
Before determining the choice of water tap for the house, first determine the function of the tap to be installed. For the needs of the kitchen sink when washing dishes, choose a faucet with a flexible handle for easier movement when cleaning any food leftovers in cutlery. For the bathroom tub, a faucet with a traditional handle can be an option. For outdoor faucets, be sure to choose a small faucet spout for easy installation of hoses for watering plants or washing vehicles.
2. Model
Usually, the tap model is determined by the tastes of each owner. One important aspect of the tap model is size. Avoid small-sized taps for large sinks, and vice versa. Besides the size, make sure the faucet matches the sink theme. For marble sinks, avoid using plastic taps because it will reduce the elegant impression of marble.
3. Ingredients
In general, available on the market tap with stainless steel or plastic (PVC). Each ingredient has its own advantages. Plastic materials are lighter, anti-rust, and economical prices. While stainless steel is proven to be more durable, is not easy to rust, is lightweight, and is easy to clean. It's just that stainless steel water tap tends to be more expensive.
4. Compatibility
After all of the above, make sure the chosen tap matches the sink in the house. Each tap has a borehole size specification to be completed with a sink gauge. Installation that is not according to specifications will only make the connection leak so that water seepage can be seen in the neck of the tap which is not pleasing to the eye's eye.
Be sure to pay attention to the things mentioned above. A variety of water tap options as needed is available under the Yuta brand. Visit the nearest building shop or order now to your favorite online store, can be via shoppe , bukalapak , JD.ID , JAKMALL .
