New York guitar phenom walks tall in the blues tradition with this third album, jettisoning fiery riffs inspired by John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Elmore James, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman. Equally inspired by the Delta blues and the mid-'60s British blues boom, the young firebrand--who titled this CD after a Rod Stewart song penned while in the Jeff Beck Group--is able to fuse those two schools together, creating edgy blues rock. --Jaan Uhelszki

Brand: VAUGHAN,STEVIE RAY & DOUBLE TROUBLE
An intense, high-powered performance from Stevie Ray's early days, featuring Testify; Texas Flood; Wham!; Pride and Joy and his fiery interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) . Also includes a 1999 interview with Double Trouble. 1983/color/63 min/NR/fullscreen.
In 1990, Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan was just emerging from a long period in which drugs had taken their toll: the previous year's In Step album was the first he had made drug free, and the results were a marvel. But then, after sharing a stage with Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and Eric Clapton, he boarded a helicopter to Chicago. It crashed, and the career of one of the great blues guitarists was ended.
Rewind to 1983 and here is Stevie Ray at the beginning of his fame, his first album with his backing band Double Trouble, Texas Flood, having just been released to critical and popular acclaim. The venue is the El Mocambo club in Toronto, a dark, smoky joint with a laid-back but appreciative clientele. Vaughan, drummer Chris Layton, and bassist Tommy Shannon share the tiny stage. The guitarist, bedecked in trademark hat and alligator-skin boots, is pale of complexion, sweating from the heat and physical exertion, and physically much smaller than Shannon, who towers over him. But Vaughan dominates, as much by the magnetism of his flamboyant personality as his guitar playing. And what playing: by turns fiery, funky, then limpid and surprisingly graceful. Here is an authentic blues artist captured in the throes of living through his music. At this early stage in his career he was still very much in thrall to Jimi Hendrix (the flower-power shirt gives it away), as covers of "Voodoo Chile" and "Third Stone from the Sun" (the latter a Hendrix-inspired guitar-abuse session) indicate. The highlight of the show, however, is his rendition of "Texas Flood," which turns out to be an amazing essay on the art of blues guitar. This is a raw, intimate, and spontaneous record of a one-time event. All fans of the blues will be grateful to those who had the foresight to capture it on film. --Mark Walker

When it comes to the greatest rockin' bluesmen in history, at the top of the electrified traditional list is B.B. King; at the top of the contemporary list is Eric Clapton. Riding with The King brings the two living legends together for an entire album for the first time. When it comes to rockin' blues, Riding With The King is as great as it will ever get. Certified Multi-Platinum (2 times)by the RIAA. (2/01)
It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car ..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair of veterans doing what they do best. What they do here is cover 12 classic blues songs, many of them staples of King's repertoire, so the title of this album makes sense. Whether it's the rollicking rock & roll of the title track, or the acoustic shuffle of "Key to the Highway," or the sweet notes of "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer," a real sense of pleasure comes through on this album, the kind of pleasure one gets from jamming late at night with a good friend. --Genevieve Williams

Like so many living legends and phenomenal talents, Stevie Ray died in a helicopter crash in 1991. Luckily, there are scores of recordings documenting the genius of this Texan blues guitarist, including these appearances on Austin City Limits and more. 1983-89/color/63 min/NR/fullscreen.
Few guitarists ever mastered the Fender Stratocaster like the late, great Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan, and this priceless digital video disc collects both of the sizzling appearances that Vaughan and his solid band, Double Trouble, made on the PBS concert series Austin City Limits. Combined to form the most popular program in the show's distinguished history, the concerts were taped in 1983 and 1989; both provide a valuable portrait of Vaughan's astounding artistic development. The performances serve as bookends to Vaughan's brilliant career with Double Trouble, showing (in the words of producer Terry Lickona) a striking contrast between "zero self-confidence" and "pure magic," but in both cases you can see a master at work. Songs include "Pride and Joy," "Texas Flood," "Voodoo Chile," "Cold Shot," and "Riviera Paradise." This great-sounding DVD also includes the posthumous music video "Little Wing," featuring clips of Double Trouble and archival footage of blues greats from the 1920s to the mid-1990s. If you're even a part-time blues fan, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live from Austin, Texas is a must-have disc. --Jeff Shannon

Blue Yule is without question one of the hippest collections of rhythm & blues Christmas music ever assembled. The disc boasts the likes of Louis Jordan, John Lee Hooker, the gospel-powered Pilgrim Travelers, and Johnny and Edgar Winter, as well as the likes of Detroit Junior ("Christmas Day") and Canned Heat ("Christmas Blues"). Lengthy even by contemporary CD standards, this 18-tracker also includes Charles Brown, Big Jack Johnson, Roy Milton, and the inscrutable Lightnin' Hopkins wishing you both "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year." But perhaps the set's greatest gift is also it's strangest--Sonny Boy Williamson's "Santa Claus," a rousing midtempo blues-rocker with a biting harp break and weird, funky lyrics about Sonny Boy going through his wife's drawers. --Martin Keller

The title's baloney. Sure, some of Buddy Guy's most blistering guitar playing has been captured on his '90s recordings for Silvertone, but with albums like Muddy Waters's 1964 Folk Singer and his own 1967 solo debut A Man & the Blues on his résumé, Guy's status as a Chicago blues giant was assured long before his 1991 comeback Damn Right, I've Got the Blues. Nonetheless, that tune, the instrumental tribute "Remembering Stevie" (for the late guitar-slinger Vaughan), "Five Long Years," and the previously unissued "Miss Ida B" testify that at age 65 Guy still possesses rare depth and fire. His singing is big and soulful, capable of cheerleading a party or hurtling down to the depths of Delta blues heartache. His six-stringing remains wildly inventive and unpredictable, even on slight numbers like "She's a Superstar." And the inclusion of blatant stabs at the pop charts such as his "Midnight Train" duet with Jonny Lang take nothing away from the passion he puts into true blues performances like "I Need Your Love So Bad" and "Innocent Man," leftovers from earlier sessions that surface here. Baddest or not, this CD spotlights one of our greatest bluesmen in fine form. --Ted Drozdowski

Kenny Wayne Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are center-stage on Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads, a CD+DVD package that features the guitarslinger and Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history with Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads.
This "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away (as six had already done since the recording was made, 2½ years before its early 2007 release) or a way to regain the blues audience Shepherd all but alienated on his artistically and commercially disappointing 2004 hard-rock release, The Place You're In. Ultimately, it succeeds on both accounts. Regardless of the project's inspiration, the results by and large justify whatever the means might have been to get this show on the road--literally and figuratively. Shepherd hit the highway for a week and a half along with producer Jerry Harrison (ex-Talking Heads), a portable studio, and backup musicians including the rhythm section from Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble. He searched out blues artists both obscure (the late guitarist Etta Baker, who plays in her kitchen, is a highlight) and better known (Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and B.B. King) for a series of acoustic and electric jams, all of which feature Shepherd--who, to his credit, generally keeps his hot-dogging tendencies in check. A closing concert featuring members of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters' bands never quite generates the heat it should, but country bluesmen Cootie Stark, Neil Pattman, and harmonica ace Jerry "Boogie" McCain provide plenty of sparks. Shepherd seems sincere enough, but the real stars are the ageing musicians who have maintained their chops and intensity through a lifetime of performing music that clearly comes from the soul. --Hal Horowitz

For those information challenged voters, Neville Chamberlain was the appeaser in chief before World War II. He spoke of “peace in our time” being reached by negotiating with Hitler before Hitler rolled over Europe, bombed England and invaded Africa.
Obama’s nomination of his three stooges, Kerry, Hagel and Brennan, shows that America will talk peace, peace but there will be no peace. His support of the Muslim Brotherhood which is the sworn enemy of America, his failure to prevent a nuclear armed terrorist supporting nation, and his assurance to the Russians that he will be “more flexible” in his second term assures that America will be weaker, will abandon its allies and ignore the threats of its enemies. Obama seeks to “fundamentally transform” America. Translation: destroy America as we know it.
Frank Gaffney, Jr. put it well in “Obama’s World Without America”:
“That agenda is strongly evident in Mr. Obama’s choices for key national security cabinet positions: John Kerry at the State Department, Chuck Hagel at Defense and John Brennan at the CIA. The three are, like the President, imbued with a post-American, post-sovereignty, post-constitutional, transnationalist outlook. In his administration, it would appear that their mission would be, as the American Enterprise Institute’s Danielle Pletka puts it, to manage the United States’ decline.”
Kerry is infamous for pushing UN treaties that will give up U.S. Sovereignty. Hagel wants to pare down the military and does not recognize national security threats. Brennan is a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who has called the Muslim Brotherhood “largely secular” and believes they are “eschewing violence.”
Its time for American to wake up to the existential threat from within which the Marxist/ Progressive/ Liberal/ Communist/ Democrat/ Socialists are pushing.

Theobroma cacao L., the Food of the Gods: a scientific approach beyond myths and claims.Pharmacol Res 2010; 61(1):5-13PR
Cocoa beans are rich source of polyphenols, contributing about 10% of the dry weight of the whole bean and its derivative chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is considered one of the major contributors of antioxidants to the American diet after fruits and vegetables. At present the wide variation in cocoa processing and in the content and profile of polyphenols make it difficult to determine to what extent the findings about positive effects expressed in different studies, translate into tangible clinical benefits. Moreover, before claiming any healthy properties to a plant, natural product or food item on human subject, a basic research project approved by scientific and ethical commissions has to be performed. Until now the definition, composition, manufacturing specifications, packaging and labelling of cocoa and chocolate products in Europe, are regulated by "Directive 2000/36/EC of the European parliament and of the council". The definitions take changes in consumer tastes, chocolate composition and labelling into account, but do not consider the real potential of healthy, beneficial and nutraceutical effects. In fact, they fail to establish an official analytical methodology for the quantification of phenolic compounds in cocoa and chocolate. Moreover quantification of these compounds is not used in product classification. This article reviews many qualitative differences of cocoa and chocolate, in particular dark chocolate, aiming to establish the different implications for public health through the use of the analyzed concentration of polyphenols in cocoa products.

THE LITTLE PRINCE
Country: Canada, France
Running Time: 108min
Film Year: 2015
Rediscover one of the most beloved stories of all time with this affectionately reimagined take on Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s 1943 classic. A little girl (voiced by Mackenzie Foy), lives with her mother (Rachel McAdams) in cookie-cutter suburbia. The girl spends every waking moment preparing for her entrance into a highly competitive prep school. Fortunately her new neighbor turns out to be an eccentric and fascinating old aviator (Jeff Bridges). Their destinies cross when an errant propeller from the aviator’s airplane careens from his backyard and into her house—and he soon sets about telling her a wondrous tale.
That is when we meet the Little Prince (Riley Osborne), his forlorn Rose (Marion Cotillard) and a constellation of fellow travelers: the conceited man (Ricky Gervais), who craves the applause of a nonexistent crowd, the king (Bud Cort), who presides over an empty domain, the businessman (Albert Brooks), who claims to own all the stars in the heavens, the sinuous snake (Benicio Del Toro), and the wild fox (James Franco) who yearns to be tamed.
The Little Prince stays true to Saint-Exupery’s heralding of uncorrupted awe over grown-up disillusionment, using beautiful, painterly animation and delightful performances to let us look at the world through the hopeful eyes of a child. – Eloisa Lopez-Gomez

Hiring a nanny has some pretty great tax perks, and you may be eligible for two tax breaks that can help defray some of the costs!
Paying Your Nanny Through Online Apps? You Should Read This
Caring for a child is one of the most important and rewarding jobs out there. Hiring a nanny to help you raise your ...
Caring for a child is one of the most important and rewarding jobs out there. Hiring a nanny to help you raise your child should be a decision made thoughtfully, with careful consideration to what will best meet your family’s needs.
But when it comes to nanny search and hiring, the most common thing families get wrong is not recognizing a potential caregiver as an employee. Hiring a nanny is different from dropping off your child at a daycare center. Because it’s an employer/employee relationship, you have certain responsibilities that come with that relationship — one of them being the nanny tax.
Many families are unaware of this requirement and therefore don’t understand what it means or why it matters. We hear from parents who want to avoid paying taxes because they think it’s too complicated or too expensive — but in reality, the costs associated with avoiding your tax burdens are much more prohibitive.
Below, we’ve included some FAQ regarding the nanny tax so you can be sure you’re in compliance anytime you’re paying nanny — whether paying through apps or paying with cash — and staying on the right side of the tax laws.
What Is the Nanny Tax?
The most important thing to remember is that if you pay a household employee $2,400 or more in 2022, you will be required to pay federal employment taxes. These taxes include the following:
- Payroll taxes withheld from the nanny’s paycheck, including Social Security, Medicare, and federal and state income taxes
- Employer-paid Social Security, Medicare, and federal and state unemployment insurance
- Applicable income taxes according to your state rules
IRS Publication 926 provides more details about the nanny tax to help you determine whether you have a household employee and, if you do, how to properly pay taxes.
What Is a Household Employee?
The IRS states that a household worker is an employee if you control both what work is done as well as how it is done. That includes your nanny, someone whose schedule you dictate and who follows your rules while performing their work.
Whether you employ your nanny for a few hours a week or full-time, they are still considered to be a household employee if you pay them $2,400 or more per calendar year. This is also true whether you hire a nanny on your own or do so through an app like the Happiest Nanny app.
Resist the urge to pay your nanny under the table or to misclassify your nanny as an independent contractor who receives a 1099 form. Doing so could result in tax-evasion charges, and that’s one headache nobody wants to take on.
What About Paying Through Apps?
Paying your nanny through an online app like Venmo or PayPal seems like a convenient, modern way to get money to your caregiver. But you need to be aware that these apps could get you in trouble with the government for not reporting payroll taxes for your nanny.
Paying through apps like Venmo carries its own set of rules — a Venmo tax, if you will. Accounting Today reports that under the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March 2021, payments for services like childcare through third-party apps like Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp will be reported to the IRS if those transactions total $600 or more in a year.
How Do I Pay the Nanny Tax?
When you use the Happiest Nanny app, we handle all the back-end requirements for payroll processing and tax withholding. This makes it easy to make sure you’ve got your nanny tax situation handled.
To give you an idea of what’s involved with handling nanny taxes, here are some basic guidelines on what’s required to be in compliance:
- Federal and state tax ID numbers. Get the federal tax ID from the IRS, and use this number to get your state tax ID.
- Correct payroll processing. For each pay period, you need to calculate your nanny’s gross pay and the associated tax withholdings and employer taxes.
- Year-round tax returns. Depending on the rules in your state, you will need to submit quarterly or even monthly filings as well as estimated tax payments.
- Year-end tax forms. This includes a W-2 for your nanny by the end of January, required Social Security Administration forms (Form W-3 and Form W-2, Copy A), Schedule H, and possibly an Annual Reconciliation form.
Why Should I Pay the Nanny Tax?
You may think that by paying through apps or avoiding tax withholding, you're doing your nanny a favor. She'll have more take-home pay — you can pay her less and she won't complain, right?
But if the IRS catches on to what you're doing, they could assess penalties and interest on both of you — maybe even back payments on her part. You could also owe jail time.
Beyond the inherent risks of avoiding your tax responsibilities when paying your nanny, it’s important to understand the benefits of proper tax withholding for your nanny, such as:
- Social Security and Medicare coverage upon retirement for your nanny
- Unemployment benefits if you ever need to lay off your nanny due to no fault of her own
- An employment record, required for obtaining auto and home loans
- Peace of mind in knowing that their needs are being met
When it comes down to it, properly paying nanny is a win-win for both parties. You can rest assured that your books are in order if for any reason you ever get audited by the IRS.
Meanwhile, your nanny is treated with the respect and dignity she deserves as a valued member of not only your family, but your “team,” if you will. When she feels like a priceless contributor within your home, she’ll be more likely to stick around for the long haul.
With the Happiest Nanny app, all of your tax needs are handled for you, from the initial paperwork to tax filing. Make sure you’re in compliance and making the best choice for your family by downloading our app today.

Roasted fish with a hot, sour and sweet sauce
Notes & thoughtsTook this from the cook book that Caron gave me. Wow, was this dish great, however I would reconsider using a whole fish, and use fillets instead. It was a little more trouble than it's worth to do it. consider brushing the skin in oil and salt to crispy it up a bit. Although I did have to scale and clean the fish myself which in hindsight is pretty straight forward. The only thing I would change would be to double the amount of sauce, the tamarind paste was very dense and perhaps was too concentrated for what the recipe was suggesting (tamarind pulp). Doubled the amount of water.

“My tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.” (45:2)
To be a mesmerizing public speaker may be an art, but Dale Carnegie taught that anyone can learn to be an effective speaker. A scribe does not become expert without practice, and neither does a speaker. By listening to great speakers one can learn to use language well and by watching great comedians one can learn to use silence, pauses, to good effect. But the real secret is to speak from your own experience; in other words, to share your own story. Those who speak with sincere conviction, focus on the important points, and summarize the story by relating the lesson they want the listener to learn will be compelling speakers.

Almost all my life I have been a learner and networker. Being the firstborn in a Filipino-American family in the 1950’s, I learned early on that the responsibility of gaining acceptance and respect in our mostly Anglo community lay on my shoulders. Observing and learning the culture in my school and our neighborhood, and then passing on the information to my parents and younger siblings were tasks I took on as my role in the family.
My parents were rabid American patriots, and talk of American history, politics and pop culture were the norm between my mom and me, and even with my usually-quiet dad and me. Concurrently, my parents exposed us kids to the beauty of Filipino arts and culture in a myriad of ways. But the most influential person in my young life with regards to understanding my Filipino and Asian heritage was my maternal grandfather, a resident of Manila but a once-a-year visitor (with grandmother, too) to all their grandchildren in the U.S. I developed a fascination and desire to “be Filipino” which culminated in a summer visit to Manila when I was turning 14. The visit morphed into a 3-year stay (including high school) with my grandparents in Manila! Eventually, I went to college in the Philippines, married a Filipino, birthed three daughters, and pursued a music career there, totaling 14 years. Then my family and I lived and worked in the U.S. for 11 years (in three different time zones). We had grown to a family of six before returning to Asia to live and work for four years. In 1998, we returned to the Pacific time zone, moved in 1999 to Mountain time, and in 2003 back to Chicago! Then in 2011 – 2012, my husband and I had the privilege of living in Japan to serve survivors of the Great Earthquake and Tsunami.
So what does all this have to do with helping Asians/Asian Americans thrive in Chicago life?
I have come to realize that in my experiences of traveling and living abroad, and in returning to American life in 1974, 1983, 1998 and 2012, many have turned to me for practical help in TCK* and “2nd-gen” relational issues. As a TCK who has moved around a lot within the U.S., I have had a rich variety of situations and circumstances to learn from and raise my children in, as well as watch and coach my husband in his assimilation.
Getting well established and enjoying life in an American region that has the distinct four seasons, a unique and colorful culture, and a very diverse population can be tricky not just for recently-arrived Asians (from the home country or the west coast), but even for 2nd generation, young Asian Americans who are finally on their own. I have found that many may not be well-trained in everyday housework, adult decision-making, European-American etiquette and cross-cultural sensitivity. It is my desire to help my readers become very comfortable in the small and everyday workings of private life, as well as the significant items of public life. Chicago is such a great city full of fascinating and inspiring people, and a breeding ground for greatness in many aspects of American and international life. I hope you will use this blog as a resource for seizing and making the most of life here, to avoid learning the hard way or too late in the game!

Did Anybody notice the little Disclaimer they showed at the end?
While watching the show on tape i noticed at the very ending credits, they made a disclaimer to the degree that:
"Participants may have consulted with producers regarding their choices and decisions"
I found it really wierd that she booted off 3 of what i would consider the more average of the average Joes.
Last edited by CharlaFan; 11-04-2003 at 09:36 AM.
Yeah, I saw that and almost threw a shoe at my tv!
I mean, come on, does NBC think that the viewing public is so bored that we need paid "average Joes" in order to really enjoy the show?!? I think the concept of this reality show is really great, but if people are being paid then I can't really get into the people on the show - the show won't have anything genuine to say about people, looks or love. It's just a spectacle.
BTW - I stopped watching American Idol when I found out that the really really bad auditions were "bought".
Note to tv execs - I like reality tv, I like seeing how these people REALLY are, stop messing with your shows and just tape the darn things! I promise I would still watch!
yeah they also did make another disclaimer that some of the contestants were paid. I forgot that.

I thought the same thing, I would have at the very least kept Eric. And Dennis seemed really nice but he didn't bother to even try to talk to her, just assumed he would get picked. I was more ok that they consulted with producers than that they were paid.

On survivor and BB aren't they paid a stipend for the amount of days they are on the shows? On Paradise Hotel they talked about being paid and getting bonuses for doing extra stuff.
And on the Bachelor they consult with producers about choices.

I know you're right about BB and Survivor - as well at TAR. Not sure about Paradise Hotel as I didn't get invovled in it. I don't mind if they get paid a stipend because, after all, they are giving up their lives for several months.

Off-topic but, your sig line made me laugh out loud.

I viewed that disclaimer a different way. I interpreted it as the show paid Melana to stay and get to know the average Joe's, not the other way around.
I also thought maybe they coached her to keep the most repulsive ones of those she didn't like in order to add to the drama - even though she has no intention of keeping them to the end.
I agree totally! WHen I saw her "choices", I said something's fishy here. I absolutely believe the producers are manipulating the choices which makes this show completely unworthy of watching. There's no way on earth I'm going to believe she selected the ones she did and kept guys like the one from Texas.

Inter-state movement of goods is going to be less troublesome from February 1 as the e-way bill will be valid throughout the country. This would make things much easier for the transporters and taxpayers as they will not be pressed to visit any tax office or check posts from February onwards as the e-way Bill can be generated electronically.
The e-way bill envisages doing away with separate transit passes for moving goods from one state to another. Quoting the GST network, PTI reports that the e-way bill, valid throughout the country, will be issued to the transporters for inter-state movement of goods.
From February 1, e-way bill is mandatory for the inter-state movement of goods beyond 10 kms, with a value of Rs 50,000 and above, under Goods and Services Tax (GST).
The e-way bill system is considered to be an effective tool for tracking the movement of goods and check tax evasion. The bill provisions under GST aim to bring in a uniform e-way bill rule which will be applicable throughout the country. This will reduce the bottlenecks at the check posts and ensure that goods being transported comply with the GST Law.
The new system enables generation of the e-way bill on the portal, through mobile App, through SMS and for large users using an offline tool, GSTN CEO Prakash Kumar told PTI.
The e-way bill system has already been rolled out in four states -- Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Kerala. The remaining states will join in the next fortnight, the period up to January 31 will be used as the trial period for all stakeholders, GSTN said in a statement, reports PTI. No e-way Bill is required for movement of goods in non- motorised conveyance and also for certain class of goods like fruits, vegetables, fish and water, it added.
People can visit the website ewaybill.nic.in to generate the bill. Transporters who are not registered under GST can enrol themselves under e-way bill system by providing their PAN or Aadhaar.

Carrie Underwood got an interesting proposition from country music duo Florida Georgia Line this week as they took to social media in an attempt to try and get the star to collaborate with them on a new song. The "Cruise" singers posted a new video to their official Instagram account on February 26 in which they played a sneak peek of the track and told the star that they'd be sending it along to her.
In the clip, the duo told fans that they had a "public song announcement" as they revealed that they'd written a new song with singer/songwriter Julia Michaels that they were desperate to get Carrie's vocals on.
"We'd really love for Carrie Underwood to hear this song. We think it would be a massive collaboration," they told the camera after revealing in the caption that they are both "huge fans" of the "Southbound" singer, who recently broke down in tears during an emotional onstage moment last week.
"We'd love to send it to you," the duo then added, directly addressing the mom of two as they admitted that they didn't have her email or phone number, so they weren't sure how to get the track to her so that she could take a listen.
The "Meant to Be" singers then played a little bit of the song as they urged her to "let us know if you want it."The Instagram video has been viewed more than 75,000 times in the first 17 hours since Florida Georgia Line uploaded it to their Instagram account, while hundreds of fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on a potential collaboration with Carrie.
"That's one way to shoot your shot," one person wrote.
"Ooh that would be big!" another Instagram user commented."I think the three of you would sound amazing. Carrie [Underwood] you need to to do this. Please," a third fan wrote.
Carrie is yet to publicly respond to Florida Georgia Line's collaboration proposition, but the duo -- made up of Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley -- aren't strangers when it comes to teaming up with some of the biggest names in music.They saw huge success with their "Cruise" remix with rapper Nelly, and also scored a massive hit with "Meant to Be" alongside Bebe Rexha.
They've also teamed up with a number of other huge names on different songs, including Justin Bieber for a remix of "Yummy," Tim McGraw on "May We All," the Backstreet Boys for "God, Your Mama, and Me," and Luke Bryan on the track "This Is How We Roll."

Rabbits: perhaps bad after all
You may recall that there is some controversy as to the extent and nature of the Rabbit Menace. Here is another data point for you to consider, before you head off to PetSmart to get your new companion. Via the journal Global Change Biology, a tale to terrify you.
Many herbivores carry a variety of intestinal helminth parasites, which are acquired during feeding and passed on in the feces. Two soil dwelling helminth parasites of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have been used to model the interactions between hosts and pathogens in controlled laboratory systems. The nematodes Graphidium strigosum and Trichostrongylus retortaeformis have been extensively studied in the rabbit for decades. Neither nematode typically causes a lethal infection in rabbits, but does lead to weight loss and decrease in fecundity in infected animals. A quick search through Pubmed did not turn up any obvious infections of humans, but presumably the elderly, the very young, and otherwise immunocompromised are at some measure of risk of infection.
The current study focuses on the ambient temperature, egg hatching rates of the nematode in soil, and survival of the larvae, and came about due to observations of generally increasing air temperature measurements at the study site over a 30 year period. These observations have led the authors to question whether host/parasite dynamics might additionally be affected by environmental conditions. What they found was that T. retortaeformis, but not G. strigosum, showed higher rates of egg hatching and larval survival with increases in temperature. This result contrasted the 30 year period of field studies, which indicated that G. strigosum infection rates increased during the interval of generally increasing ambient temperature trends.
Overall, the study underscores the dynamic nature of the host/parasite interaction, and the potential that shifting environmental conditions enable certain microorganisms to have competitive advantages over others. Although both of these worm pathogens pose no known risk to humans, many other bacterial, fungal, protozoan, and metazoan pathogens of humans may demonstrate similar responses to altered environmental conditions seen, as mean global temperatures continue to increase.

Universal has set a release date for their upcoming film, The Photograph. Starring Insecure‘s Issa Rae and Atlanta‘s Lakeith Stanfield, the new movie will be released on Valentine’s Day next year. The film will focus on “intertwining love stories in the past and present.” Rae will play the role of Mae and it is unclear what role Stanfield will play at the moment.
In addition to Rae and Stanfield, the cast will include Chante Adams, Lil Rel Howery and Y’Lan Noel. Other cast members include Chelsea Peretti, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jasmine Cephas Jones, Teyonah Parris, Courtney B. Vance, Rob Morgan, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Ben-Adir will reportedly play the role of Rae’s ex-boyfriend. The film is being written by Stella Meghie and Will Packer is producing alongside James Lopez. Rae and Meghie will also act as executive producers.
In the meantime, Rae will continue to promote the release of her latest film, Little. She also is set to be the lead in a new film called American Princess. Not to mention, there’s a new season of Insecure on the way. Meanwhile, Stanfield is working through a delayed release of Atlanta‘s third season.


A modular X-ray scanning system was developed, to fill in the gap between portable instruments (with a limited analytical area) and mobile instruments (with large analytical areas, and sometimes bulky and difficult to transport). The scanner has been compared to a commercial tabletop instrument, by analysing a Portuguese tile (azulejo) from the 17th century. Complementary techniques were used to achieve a throughout characterisation of the sample in a complete non-destructive approach. The complexity of the acquired X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra, due to inherent sample stratigraphy, has been resolved using Monte Carlo simulations, and Raman spectroscopy, as the most suitable technique to complement the analysis of azulejos colours, yielding satisfactory results. The colouring agents were identified as cobalt blue and a Zn-modified Naples-yellow. The stratigraphy of the area under study was partially modelled with Monte Carlo simulations. The scanners performance has been compared by evaluating the images outputs and the global spectrum.

The body of a man first seen floating off Carenage on Sunday remains unidentified.
Coastguard officers were alerted around 7:30 am that a body was spotted in the water near Five Islands Water-Park.
Acting on further information, the officers then proceeded eight nautical miles west of Felicity in Central, and continued the search.
Around 10.40 am, the officers observed a body floating face down, drifting south.
The body was taken back to Staubles Bay in Chaguaramas. A district medical officer said the victim had been in the water for approximately three days, and could have suffered possible trauma to the head.
Investigations are continuing.

having it all
For her, having it all is "Disney bullsh*t."
"With every high usually comes a sacrifice."
We accept life is irreversibly transformed and some parts of our pre-children lives are forever lost. It's hard to do -- life was simple and straightforward before kids and it's healthy to admit we miss it. It doesn't make us ungrateful parents, it makes us human. It means we're honest.
I resent being labeled as being on the "Mommy Track." First, unlike Thomas, I'm not a train, thus not on any track. Second, I've never once heard anyone speak about my husband or any male friend or colleague as being on the "Daddy Track." As soon as my husband inseminated one of my eggs bearing us our first child in 2011, all of my accomplishments and endeavours were overshadowed.
The point is that working moms need a village to be successful. They need short-cuts and tips that make life easier. With precious little time at home, it's things like swifters and crockpots make a difference. If you don't have a support system that can help you find the things that can help you feel like a better mom, build one. It's worth it.
It's time to put an end to the "having it all" madness. For one, this meaningless term serves only to make the most successful women feel like failures. Rather than stay on track with this meandering debate, we owe it to ourselves, and future generations, to refocus our attentions on real issues: a stubborn wage gap, the under-representation of women in senior roles and covert discrimination in the workplace.
"I observe that many people seek happiness "out there." They imagine it will come to them if they get a raise, a new car
Alina Gershuny is a typical professional woman under 30: ambitious, highly educated, and under pressure. “Coming out of school
We are shifting out of the patriarchy. The old model built for men does not work for us women as we read in Anne-Marie Slaughter's piece, "Why Women Still Can't Have it All." I admire Slaughter. Except there is one major difference that allows me to have it all; I am a Social Entrepreneur. I don't take this for granted and invite women to design the world they wish to live in.
Jim Power, school principal of the elite all-male Upper Canada College (UCC), recently wrote that boys need to know they can't have it all either. The fathers Power meets talk about the pressure they're under -- how they badly want to find time to watch their child "master a new acrobatic trick," that they often experience a "tug at their hearts that they keep to themselves." What about the other 99.99 per cent of parenting responsibilities?

How I Pack Food for Car Camping
Look at that picture above. Now imagine yourself sitting right next to that fire pit, messily eating a hot dog, slathered in ketchup and mustard. Perhaps you’re sipping a tumbler of hot, creamy chocolate or a long, cold, iced drink, lazily toasting marshmallows and listening to birdsong. You might be occasionally interrupted by the sound of wind, the river rushing by, and the odd sound of a child laughing.
Camping is such an idyllic way to connect with nature, but with it comes the fact that you have to bring everything you’re eating and drinking in with you, not to mention the tools and equipment to prepare and serve it with. After you’ve mastered the basics of planning and packing for car camping, here are a couple of tips to help you successfully plan and pack for cooking once you get there!
1. Keep the equipment simple.
Food and drink is obviously the most important part of camping… or at least, it is for me. But I do keep my cooking equipment pretty simple, as I don’t want to carry too much. Here’s what I always pack:
- Utensils: A couple of wooden spoons, a heatproof flat silicone spatula, tongs, and cutlery wrapped in tea towels. Use a large plastic container with a lid for storing all these utensils in, and not only will the box keep you organized, it will also double as a washing up tub.
- Fuel: Matches or a lighter to start fires, and a few newspapers to use as fire starters. We use a combination of camping stove and campfire to cook, so I make sure we have extra fuel for the camp stove, in case it’s too wet to make a campfire.
- Prep equipment: A chef’s knife (place in a knife carrier or wrap in tea towels), small paring knife, vegetable peeler, cutting board, lots of aluminum foil, paper towels, a set of prep bowls, plates, and mugs.
- Cooking equipment: A large, multipurpose saute pan, two small lidded saucepans (for boiling water), a small skillet (for frying eggs and breakfast foods), metal skewers for hot dogs and marshmallows, and, something I find essential, a teapot (I love my Falcon Enamelware sets). Okay, and this guy below. I really like toast in the mornings!
- Cleaning: Dish cloth and detergent that I decant into small travel shampoo bottles.
2. Food Planning.
I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but you’ll be surprised at how many people don’t. I like to plan every meal so it gives me an idea of how to shop and how much food to buy, helping to avoid food waste. I cook dishes like easy chili or paella, for which I vary vegetables with the season. And, of course, hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilling meats are always camping staples.
3. Packing Perishable Foods
Since there’s no refrigeration while camping, packing foods safely is especially important, which is why we use three coolers, each with a different purpose:
- A easy-to-access car cooler: I keep the first small cooler with sandwich fixings and travel snacks inside the car for quick munchies and lunches on the road. Pack sandwich rolls, hard-boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise and ketchup, a scoop of butter, chopped fruit, nuts, and fruit bars. These are all easy-to-prep snacks and lunches that will save you a ton of money that you may have spent on unhealthy fast food otherwise.
- A meat cooler: A heavy duty one to fill up with ice every other day. Use this cooler to store meat products like hot dogs and hamburgers. I also like to marinate chicken for my special tandoori chicken and freeze it in resealable bags. By the time we are ready to eat, it is defrosted and ready to be grilled. All meat products are double wrapped in plastic bags so as not to cross contaminate.
- An everything else cooler. Also a heavy duty one to fill up with ice every other day. Fill it with vegetables, fruits, eggs, butter, drinks, milk, condiments and all other fresh ingredients. I will store large bottles of frozen water in here water so that it keep the cooler cold and we have ice-cold water on hand.
4. Packing Non-Perishable Foods
Here are some tips on what non-perishable items to bring and how to pack them:
- A dry goods box. This contains everything else that can be stored at room temperature. My crucial staples are coffee (yes, I do drink instant when camping), tea bags, cocoa, sugar, milk powder (in case we run out of fresh milk), salt, pepper, neutral cooking oil, and my secret weapon, fresh spice mixes that can jazz up any meal. I may also pack pancake mix, bread, and rolls.
- A separate treats box. Marshmallows, graham crackers, caramel chips and chocolate. You may claim these are for the kids, but everyone will enjoy these sweets.
- Oils and other liquids. A wine bag, those ones with partitions, come in very handy for carrying liquids that don’t need to be in a cooler. I carry bottles like my cordials and syrups and a small bottle of neutral cooking oil like canola or grapeseed in these bags, and wedge them in between boxes while packing the car.
- Pack drinks. Lots of drinks. And finally, pack lots of water and other kinds of drinks. We always have a case of water and delicious additions like elderflower cordial or cherry syrup. We also carry juices, lots of beer, and occasionally some mixers so I can make cocktails. I mean… really… isn’t that what camping is all about?
While this may seem like an extensive and detailed list, all the hard work is already done by the time you hit the road. Once you get to your campsite, all you have to do is get your fire started and you’re ready for the fun part: cooking and eating outdoors!

LAS CRUCES — City officials are ready to give World Boxing Association champion Austin Trout a hero's welcome.
The only doubt, at least for now, is whether "No Doubt" Trout can participate.
After numerous requests from city residents, since Trout successfully defended his title Saturday with a unanimous decision victory against Miguel Cotto, city officials said Monday a parade and "Welcome Home" celebration are ready to go, if Trout OK's it.
"We haven't heard yet from him to check on his availability," City Manager Robert Garza said. "But we do have plans."
Trout was flying back to Las Cruces Monday. His return flight, already once delayed, wasn't suppose to arrive in El Paso until late Monday night.
But if he can participate, a parade honoring Trout will be conducted at 5 p.m. Friday along the newly reopened portion of Main Street, from Bowman Avenue north to City Hall. Trout would then be led to the city's Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, where he would be invited to throw the switch that lights the tree.
"...We should have a parade waiting for him," Miguel Acosta said. "Congrats champ."
Added J.P. Ramirez, "'Cruces needs to have a parade for Trout. This is exciting."
City council members agreed. The biggest topic of discussion at Monday's council meeting was the fighter's decisive victory against Cotto, at Madison Square Garden, in New York City.
Although Trout didn't directly acknowledge Las Cruces in post-fight comments, the city was prominently mentioned throughout Saturday night's fight, which was televised throughout the United States on the Showtime cable network. On Trout's boxing gloves were the initials "LC" and "NM" and his trainer, Las Cruces native and former boxing champ Louie Burke, wore a black baseball cap with the white letters "LCFD," for the Las Cruces Fire Department, where he is a fireman.
Also as one of Trout's corner men, was Randy "Moose" Gomez, a local bail bondsman.
"Congratulations Austin Trout, The City of the Crosses are shining bright," Braden Tidwell said. "Awesome and proud to be a part of Las Cruces for your boxing victory."
At ringside was Trout's fiancée, Las Crucen Taylor Hardardt.
"And, thanks to Austin's fiancée for representing us well, too," said Melanie Dunne. "Keeping it classy! Looked beautiful!"
Other events are also planned. The city and Las Cruces Convention and Visitors Bureau have organized a "Welcome Home" gathering for Trout, from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. Wednesday in the ballrooms at Hotel Encanto, 705 S. Telshor Boulevard. There will no charge for residents to attend the event, and there will be entertainment, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.

PLANNED AUSTIN TROUT CELEBRATIONS
What: The city has made tentative plans to conduct a parade honoring world champion Austin Trout — with Trout's approval to participate.
When: The parade would start about 5 p.m. Friday.
Where: The parade would travel north on Main Street and end just north of Las Cruces City Hall, where Trout would be invited to turn on the switch to light the city's Christmas Tree.
More accolades: A "Welcome Home" gathering will be conducted from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. Wednesday in the ballrooms at Hotel Encanto, 705 S. Telshor Boulevard. City officials also announced plans Monday to present Trout with a plaque when the Las Cruces City Council next meets at 1 p.m. Dec. 17, at City Hall, 700 N. Main St.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — For 70 years, the Alano Club of Kent County has served as a safe place for those struggling with addiction to gather. But after severe winter weather moved through West Michigan, it welcomed in a new crowd for the holiday weekend.
The county reached out to Executive Director Lisa Derr to see if the club would become a warming station during the storm. Derr said she agreed to it without hesitation.
“They did a little outreach to see if we’d be interested in being a warming station for people knowing that the cold weather’s coming around, and we were 100% all in for that,” Derr said.
More than a dozen new faces spent the better part of the past week as guests at the Alano Club, staying warm, enjoying refreshments and spending the holiday with others. Derr said that the club was more than prepared for the influx of guests and welcomes anyone in need of help to their Grand Rapids location.
“This is an ideal area, it’s an ideal space for people to come in, stay out of the cold and have a safe space to enjoy a cup of coffee and fellowship as well,” she said.
Even with the additional number of guests, Derr said she couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy seeing everyone make the best of the holiday.
“A lot of people that struggle alone is a challenge and a lot of people who don’t have family members of loved ones to be around during the holidays, this is definitely a place for people to come and are welcomed and not judged,” she said.
The Alano Club is still accepting donations of any kind to help care for those who use the facility. If you would like to place a donation online, click here. If you would like to contact the office for more information, call 616.456.5709.

Do you think you can survive on five hours of sleep a night? While it might be possible, it could increase the risk of developing multiple chronic diseases and even lead to an earlier death, according to a new study. Researchers found that adults age 50 and older who slept five hours or less a night had a higher risk of developing more of one chronic illness compared to their peers who slept seven hours. The findings were published on October 18 in the open access journal PLoS Medicine. The number of people who slept for so long was small, only 122 participants, so no firm conclusions can be drawn from this finding. However, if you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, the lack of sleep may be due to insomnia.
Similarly, not getting enough sleep is usually associated with high blood pressure, especially among middle-aged people. An analysis of 15 studies found that the short duration of sleep is related to an increased risk of developing or dying from coronary heart disease or stroke. If you need less than six hours of sleep each night and you have no symptoms of lack of sleep, you probably don't have insomnia. But if you fall asleep during meetings or exams or at the movies, consider yourself sleep-deprived. Older people may sleep less at night, in part, because they wake up frequently at night, but their need for sleep is no lower than that of younger adults. The brain remains active, recharges and continues to control many body functions, including breathing during sleep.
Short sleep syndrome describes people who can function normally on less than six hours of sleep each night. While you may not be able to train your body to sleep less, there are some things you can try to sleep faster and get a higher quality of sleep. Staying up late at night and sleeping late in the morning may increase people's chances of developing certain chronic diseases. If you can't SLEEP more than four to five hours a night (or less), you may be sleep-deprived. In addition, regular sleep interruptions caused by night terrors or the onset of sleep can also lead to lack of sleep. It is important to understand that sleeping fewer than five hours a night can have serious consequences for your health.
Not getting enough rest can lead to an increased risk of developing chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. It can also lead to an earlier death. If you are having trouble sleeping more than four to five hours a night, it is important to talk to your doctor about possible solutions. There are some things that you can do to help improve your quality and quantity of sleep such as avoiding caffeine late in the day and establishing a regular bedtime routine. It is also important to understand that while some people may be able to function normally on less than six hours of sleep each night, it is not recommended for everyone. Getting enough restful sleep is essential for good health and wellbeing.

TIFF 2012: Zac Efron and David Oyelowo chat about 'The Paperboy'
The anticipation of polarized reactions, an embrace of the grotesque and a first-day shoot that called for him to be urinated on did not seem to faze Zac Efron as the young star matures and takes on more demanding roles. A challenging character to be sure in Jack Jansen, Mr. Efron gave himself completely to Lee Daniels in his latest film The Paperboy, a dark, pulpy slice of unsettling southern pie.
“Some people really love it and get it, and some people don’t and can’t comprehend why others care,” Mr. Efron explains while in town promoting during the Toronto International Film Festival. “It incites discussion.”
That is for sure.
The scene that is most discussed involves Nicole Kidman’s character Charlotte Bless coming to the rescue of Ward after he goes swimming and is stung by jellyfish. In an attempt to save him, she tends to the wounds the only way she knows how.
“I took a step back and grasped it,” he says of the scene. In another scene with Ms. Kidman, he explains, the pair lost themselves in their characters and went off script, dancing together in the rain. “Nicole took the lead, it was just a product of the moment. I gravitate towards things I don’t fully understand, I think [Mr. Daniels] expected some hesitation, but I was ready.”
Another scene finds Mr. Efron fighting Yardley, a scholarly, high-minded colleague of his older brother, played by David Oyelowo.
There is not artifice when working with Mr. Daniels, explains Mr. Oyelowo, with the beach scene for one, and the fight scene as well. “There wasn’t much choreography, which is why it hurt so much,” says Mr. Oyelowo. “We did it so many times, we were both raw, with cuts and bruises everywhere. We went for it every single time.”
Admittedly, however, Mr. Oyelowo did not initially jump at the part. “The first permutation of the script I read didn’t have Lee’s revisions, and it was largely a whodunit, and I didn’t feel anything for the characters.” Upon changes however, including making Mr. Oyelowo’s character black (he is white in the Pete Dexler novel from which the film is based), he became convinced. “Lee is a lover of humanity, he does everything he can to mine who we are as human beings.”
It is surely to Mr. Lee’s credit that not only does he have such a stellar cast for his film, but that he can ask of them all to be honest and trusting, whether a scene involves fighting, deviant sex, or other, entanglements, of sorts. That in and of itself, though, is from where much of the initial criticism of the film develops. Regardless, The Paperboy, in all its raw emotion, sweat-laden story-telling, and deviousness, is worth talking about.
“People can’t pin down Lee, because he is shamelessly cinematic, shamelessly big with some of his choices, and he pushes these boundaries. You are seeing something that will spark conversation, that will stay with you for a while, that may make you need a shower, but it will provoke a reaction, and that’s a great thing.”
