bob bowersox damn!
QVC Forum comments describe Bowersox’s exit:
One poster wrote:
“On the pre-recorded presentation of Bob, he seemed very sad. He actually seemed like he was trying his best not to cry. Bob said that he was persuing other avenues in life”
Another poster said:
“I missed his farwell message but at least the Q gave him the opporunity to speak to the audience about his quick departure (unlike DK.)”
Bowersox’s bio on QVC includes the following:
“Bowersox joined QVC in November 1986, appearing on QVC’s first broadcast. His program host duties include presenting product information, conducting demonstrations, and interacting with on–air guests, celebrities, and viewers. Bob brings his vast knowledge of electronics, entertainment, journalism, photography, and the arts to QVC programs such as Electronics Today, Picture Perfect®, The Computer Shop, Pilates Home Studio, Beyond Wine, and SELECT COMFORT® Sleep Solutions. But what he’s most known for, among QVC viewers, is his association with the cooking category.”
Bob’s shows included In The Kitchen With Bob®, a show he hosted for 11 years. Before that, Bob was a recording artist with Columbia Records.
“Returning to his home in Delaware after a two–year stint in New York, Bob launched a second career by opening The Crepe Chalet restaurant, which became an instant hit. He attended the University of Delaware, earning his second degree in Journalism. Upon completing his studies, he co–founded, published, and edited Fine Times Magazine, a pop music publication for the Delaware/Philadelphia region. Within a year, it became the number one regional lifestyle magazine.”
Fans reaction today is sadness across the QVC Forum .
“Bob is/was a staple on QVC. If you did not like him you should have switched channels, there are buttons. You are a very negative/down person. I have watched Bob for over 20 years, thru ups and downs and still like him very much. I wish him well and we will see him other places.”

The five finalists were asked what quality they thought qualified them for the Miss World crown. Miss Russia replied seriously, “I want to help people, and if I win the crown I will be able to do it better.” The answer was from the heart, and won over the jury.
However, the wittiest was Miss South Africa, with her – Look at what I am able to do as Miss South Africa, imagine what would be the result if I am Miss World! Fiery inside-out!
"Presence of two great leaders Mahatma Gandhi (India) and Nelson Mandela (South Africa) have influenced millions of people in both the countries," she said.
Asked About her experience in the beauty pageant, the 5 feet 9 inches tall dusky beauty said: "It is a great journey for me."
South Africa, who hosted the event for the sixth time, became the country that has held more Miss World pageants than any other. The event was broadcast to millions of viewers in 187 countries.
Beauties from 109 countries were whittled down to 15 semi-finalists with India, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, Angola and South Africa named the five finalists as the audience willed their favourite to go forward.
The 21-year-old Parvathy, who hails from Kottayam in Kerala, narrowly missed out on joining five Indian glamour queens Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999) and Priyanka Chopra (2000) who had won the title.http://www.zeenews.com/entertainment/fashion/2008-12-13/490836news.html
One Dollar Diet Project
Like most of us in this troubled economy looking to find ways to save money, Social Justice teachers Christopher Greenslate and Kerri Leonard started their One Dollar Diet Project as an experiment in the possibility of saving money.
Although three billon people (or half the world's population) live on less than $2.50 a day, attempting to eat on one dollar a day is no small challenge considering the average American living in the land of plenty traditionally spends far more than $2.50 on food alone in one day.
Starting on September 1, 2008, Greenslate and Leonard chronicled the One Dollar Diet Project in the onedollardietproject.com blog featuring a food cost index, food log, sample recipes and the daily experience and challenge of the One Dollar Diet Project. The blog has continued past September, and the latest entry publishes the shocking reality that one in ten families in the US are currently using food stamps. The One Dollar Diet Project has become more than a one month project in saving money.Friday, 12 December 2008

Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.
Decades later, those images inspired biographies, comic books, fan clubs, websites, commercial products -- Bettie Page playing cards, dress-up magnet sets, action figures, Zippo lighters, shot glasses -- and, in 2005, a film about her life and times, "The Notorious Bettie Page."

call in gay day
I usually avoid the whole gay, lesbian, and transgendered debate, but, yowza, here’s a bad idea
Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to “call in gay” Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it’s wise to encourage skipping work given the nation’s economic distress. Organizers of “Day Without a Gay” - scheduled to coincide with International Human Rights Day and modeled after similar work stoppages by Latino immigrants - also are encouraging people to perform volunteer work and refrain from spending money.
Sean Hetherington, a West Hollywood comedian and personal trainer, dreamed up the idea with his boyfriend, Aaron Hartzler, after reading online that a few angry gay-rights activists were calling for a daylong strike to protest California voters’ passage last month of Proposition 8, which reversed this year’s state Supreme Court decision allowing gay marriage.
Other then pissing shoppers off during the holiday season because there are less workers available, pissing off co-workers because there are less people working during the holiday season, and pissing off bosses because they now have less workers available, this would accomplish what?
The couple thought it would be more effective and less divisive if people were asked to perform community service instead of staying home with their wallets shut. Dozens of nonprofit agencies, from the National Women’s Law Center in Washington to a Methodist church in Fresno collecting food for the homeless, have posted opportunities for volunteers on the couple’s Web site.
And performing community service (there’s probably a really bad joke about fixing homeless people’s hair, but, that would be mean) would do what for the economy? It would be nice and all, but, accomplish anything?
“We are all for a boycott if that is what brings about a sense of community for people,” said Hetherington, 30, who plans to spend Wednesday volunteering at an inner-city school. “You can take away from the economy and give back in other ways.”
Community. Reminds me of the whole “bring awareness” idiocy with global warming. Does nothing.
If they really want to make a difference, then the GLT community should attempt to change peoples minds about gay marriage through rational, adult debate.
(Just for reference, I have no problem with gays and lesbians, though transgendered is a little freaky to me. I have several co-workers who are gay and lesbian, and know some folks outside of work. I do not support gay marriage, but do support civil unions.)

Fisher's book by the same name relives her "crazy" years, one wacky story at a time.
Some highlights include a Christmas where Fisher's mom gifted her and her grandmother with sex toys, and our personal fave, the time she freaked out while smoking with Harrison Ford.
As for her show? Broadway World warns, "Don't be late. Fisher will look you in the face and you'll be embarrassed as she tries to recap what you've missed. But it's all in great fun."
cc sabathia
The New York Yankees moved into the driver's seat Tuesday night in their attempt to lure free-agent starter CC Sabathia as general manager Brian Cashman flew to San Francisco to meet him for the third consecutive day.
The Yankees aren't saying they are close to signing him, already offering $140 million over six years, but they're ready to sign on the dotted line whenever Sabathia is ready.
Meanwhile, the New York Post is already reporting the big left-hander will accept the deal. ESPN says the contract would total $160 million over seven years ($22.86M per season).
Just perhaps, Yankees manager Joe Girardi suggests, Sabathia is warming up to New York, after all.
"CC has pitched in New York, he's pitched in New York in the playoffs and he was in the American League for a long time," Girardi says. ""He knows what New York is about, and I think CC's personality would work very well in New York."
The San Francisco Giants, meanwhile, are hoping to step in the way. The Giants are considering a meeting with Sabathia and his agents in the Bay Area after the winter meetings.
"If we decide we're going to get involved we will have a meeting and make our presentation," Giants general manager Brian Sabean said. "But we're not there yet. …We don't have any expectations. He's certainly playing the field. There's no pressure on us to do something or to sign him. It's a fallback position to look at because there's player interest, and why wouldn't we be interested if he is? It's as simple as that."

Colleen Daley lives on a sunburnt patch of overzoned Chula Vista real estate. She is besieged by the odiferous crosscurrents of wafting grease and the crackling bark of drive-in order speakers — her one-bedroom ranch is surrounded by fast-food joints. And that’s where she thinks her problems as a marijuana farmer started.
“The plants were eight feet tall,” she says. “My boyfriend and I were trying to keep things under wraps, but you know, you can only do so much. So it’s like they kind of knew.”
“They,” she suspects, were employees from one of these restaurants who had spotted her marijuana plants sprouting up through the roof of the greenhouse tucked in the far left corner of the yard, a rust bucket of a thing in its final stages of dilapidation. Daley guesses that if some covetous neighbor couldn’t have Daley’s grow, he’d made sure she couldn’t either.
“There were 13 officers in ninja outfits,” she recalls, of the day the police busted her.
She had 20 plants, putting her grow at 8 plants over the legal limit according to the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (California Proposition 215), which makes the growing, purchasing, and ingestion of marijuana legal for those who can demonstrate a medical need for the drug.
Daley smokes pot because she suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS). Most of the time, she deals with an exhausting but manageable combination of muscle numbness, irritation, and spasms. But she knows it’s only a matter of time before her MS kicks into high gear.
She’s a big girl, “on the hefty side,” as she puts it. Her fleshy face holds expressive brown eyes, and when she smiles they smile right along. “It’s a lifetime thing,” she says of the disease. “The regression is very slow — like a slow torture.”
MS eats away at the sheathing around the brain and spinal chord — in the same way that mice will nibble away at a house’s plastic-coated wires. Depending on its severity, the disease causes excruciating pain. Daley has undergone heart surgery and lives with a pacemaker and a mechanical aortic valve in her heart. The mutiny in Daley’s body has also manifested itself in a bizarre condition known as Arnold-Chiari malformation, in which part of the brain pushes down through the base of the skull.
“The first time I went to get diagnosed by a neurologist, he sent me for a neck X-ray,” she says. “They found out that — this is so weird — that I had about an inch and a half of brain leaking down my neck — like the stem was coming down into it. Right, like I don’t have enough problems. So I had to have brain surgery too.”
Cannabis’s active ingredient is THC — tetrahydrocannabinol — a complex molecule that custom fits itself to inhibitors and stimulators in the human body’s neurological skein. Medical research is coming around to what everyone from Bob Marley to William F. Buckley has held to be true — by tweaking these various response mechanisms in the body, the naturally occurring THC in marijuana palliates pain and delivers an intricate palette of highs that depend on the cultivation and processing of the cannabis plant.
The other common active ingredient in marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD), works as both a spigot for THC, controlling the amount released by the plant, while adding its own particular effect to the drug. If THC puts the “high” in marijuana high, then CBD puts the “stone” in marijuana stone. Working as a sedative, it both complements and counteracts the THC, leading growers to breed pot varietals that rival wine grapes in number and flavor.
It was Daley’s desire to process her own marijuana that first led the CVPD on its wild goose chase — before the CVPD could confiscate her grow, it’s had a tough time of it corralling three ornery China geese that made no distinction between cops and thieves.
With 700 square feet of backyard to run around in and three kiddie pools to wade in, the geese served as guards for Daley’s late, great marijuana-growing operation. She put the geese out there, she said, after she began noticing footprints and bent plots of grass where sleeping bodies, presumably transients, had lain the night before.
As a backup to her guard geese, Daley electrified the top of a five-foot-high stone wall, enclosing her backyard with a livestock fence packing a 7000-volt charge.
“You really have to be trying to get over that wall to hit that charge,” she explains. “And one night, someone did.”
She figures that one of the restaurants’ employees just couldn’t resist.
“I have an audio tape [part of a homemade camera surveillance system] of a pulsating shock and then—” Her face lights up with a mixture of sympathy and mischievous delight — a scream — ‘AH...

wisconsin school closings
Monday's report was the first in a series of stories that had their roots in the closing of a school three years ago.
The Three Rivers School District near Cincinnati closed Meredith Hitchens Elementary School in Addyston, Ohio, after air samples from a plastics plant across the street showed high levels of chemicals. The estimate was that the risk of getting cancer from that air was 50 times what the state of Ohio considers acceptable.
The USA Today team spent eight months examining the impact of industrial pollution on the air outside schools across the nation. The model is a computer simulation that predicts the path of toxic chemicals released by thousands of companies. USA Today used it to identify schools in areas that are considered toxic hot spots — a task the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had never undertaken.
The computer found more than 400 schools where the air might be even more toxic than at Meredith Hitchens School — including Cormier School and Early Learning Center in Ashwaubenon and Aldo Leopold Community School in Green Bay.
It's important to emphasize this is a computer simulation, not actual measurements of the air at the 127,800 schools in the study. Government and business officials expressed skepticism, and that's a healthy approach to take about any such study.
But the newspaper prepared the data using the companies' actual emissions reports to the EPA and applied the government's most up-to-date model for tracking toxic chemicals.

cherry creek school district
Before about 75 parents at a public meeting Tuesday, Mooresville Graded School District officials presented their draft of revised student attendance lines meant to accommodate the new Mooresville Intermediate School and the district's new elementary school on Rocky River Road in the 2009-10 school year.
"I believe I'm biased, but I believe very strongly that regardless of what school students attend, they will receive an excellent education," Supt. Mark Edwards told the group at Mooresville High.
Three displays of the district's new attendance lines were available for parents, MGSD officials and others in the audience to view prior to and following the presentation by Edwards and John Chesser from the Urban Institute out of UNC-Charlotte, with whom the district worked in conjunction with during the redistricting process.
Since early in the school year, the MGSD and Chesser have been reevaluating and amending the district's current attendance lines to distribute elementary students among three schools – the new school slated for completion in July 2009 in addition to Park View and South elementaries – and flowing them back into two schools at the intermediate level.
Additionally, the district had to consider the relocation of third grade back to the MGSD elementary schools from their current position at MIS and East Mooresville Intermediate.
Inviting input from the community on the redistricting plans, Edwards said he will also recommend to the Board of Education a "school choice component," which would allow families the option of choosing which elementary or intermediate school their child attends, provided the parent can supply transportation.
"If you want to attend outside of your (individual school) district for any reason," Edwards said, parents would have that option available to them through an application process. "We think there's a lot of value in that. Ultimately, you are saying we are attending the school we want to attend."
The details of the school choice option, however, must still be ironed out, MGSD officials noted. Guidelines for this option will likely become available in early 2009.
Per the question of one parent following the initial presentation, Edwards explained that within the next 10 years, more redistricting may be necessary to accommodate for the construction of additional facilities in the MGSD.
"We've done a 10-year projection based on our capacity and growth rate," said Edwards, referring to a "Facility Capacity Analysis vs. Enrollment Projections" planning document submitted to the school board in February by MGSD Director of Operations Stephen Mauney.
Added the superintendent, "I would anticipate about seven years out we would need a new intermediate school."

ron santo
But another panel made up of the living 64 Hall of Famers didn't come close to picking anyone who started after World War II. Santo fell short, followed by Kaat, Tony Oliva, Gil Hodges and Torre.
This marked the fourth straight time that nobody was chosen from the newer group.
"It's not our job to vote someone in," Hall of Fame manager Dick Williams said by phone from Las Vegas, where the results were announced at baseball's winter meetings. "It's our job to consider the candidates."
"I thought Kaat would get in. I voted for him. And I think Joe Torre will, too, when he's done managing," he said. "I missed quite a few times before I got in. I know what that's like."
It took 75 percent _ 48 votes _ for election and Santo did the best with 39. The former Cubs slugger led Kaat (38), Oliva (33), Hodges (28) and Torre (19).
All 64 Hall voters sent a ballot. They were allowed to pick four players, and they listed an average of 3.3 names.
"We just didn't have them lined up, I guess,"tribune bankruptcy
Rip the story of Sam Zell's adventure in the newspaper business out of the typewriter and onto the spike. It's too late for a rewrite.
Reeling from the huge debt taken in the $8 billion buyout of Tribune, the crusty real estate titan has decided that his newspaper chain needs bankruptcy protection.
Tribune, whose newspapers include the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Baltimore Sun, listed $13 billion in debts in its filing with the United States bankruptcy court in Delaware. The company listed total assets of $7.6 billion.
The Tribune Company has been nearing a sale of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field; they are not included in the filing.
Zell, who snapped up Tribune and took it private in an employee buyout last December, had big plans for newspapers with puppies and big profits. The company recently hired Lazard and the Sidley Austin law firm to advise it on a bankruptcy.
Daniel Colarusso noted earlier that while it would be comforting to see Zell chow down on some humble pie with a bankruptcy filing, bankruptcy could be a plan to tear the empire down as fast as he can and recalibrate the businesses to fit the current environment and, more pointedly, the mission he's plotted. The cost of shutting down papers, however, could be a further drag on the company's cash position.
Since taking over Tribune, though, Zell often has been dismissive of newspaper owners and disdainful of journalists. In a recent interview with Joanne Lipman, the editor in chief of Condé Nast Portfolio, Zell labeled the newspaper business model "unequivocally...a failure," and challenged New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, saying "If you want to be a charitable trust, be a charitable trust. If you don't want to be a charitable trust, then you've got to focus on producing a return for investors' capital, and it's just that simple."
