Phillip Phillips is the new 'American Idol'

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Phillip Phillips, a bluesy Georgia guitar man, was crowned the new "American Idol" on Wednesday after defeating teenager Jessica Sanchez in record viewer voting. He was the fifth male "Idol" winner in a row.

Phillips, 21, a pawn shop worker from Leesburg, Ga., looked stunned when host Ryan Seacrest announced his name, then wordlessly accepted a hug from Sanchez and congratulations from his fellow finalists.

He dissolved into tears as he sang "Home," the song that may be his first single.

Phillips retained his humble, self-effacing demeanor to the end, and beyond.

"I have no idea why I won, man," he said in his backstage dressing room. "I guess some people liked the music that I was doing. I'm just lucky. ... I was just doing my thing each week."

He received the winning share of the record-high 132 million votes cast after Tuesday's final showdown with high school student Sanchez, 16, of Chula Vista, Calif. The vote count was not announced, typical for the contest.

His victory extended the "American Idol" winning streak for men to five consecutive seasons. The last female to win, and the last non-white, was Jordin Sparks in 2007.

Phillips has more in common with the last four winners than gender. Like them, he is a young Caucasian guitar player, also known to "Idol" watchers as WGWGs ? white guys with guitars.

Last year's winner was Scotty McCreery, preceded by Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen and David Cook.

Sanchez, who is of Filipino and Latino heritage, took a measured view of the outcome, one that she said had solely to do with music.

"I don't blame it on anything," she said backstage. "Phillip has his fans, and I have mine. We're totally two different people. Our genres are completely different.

"He's more like the indie, alternative rock kinda guy, and I'm more urban R&B pop. ... It's just the number of our fans," she said, adding that she expected to be the runner-up.

"In the moment, I told him, 'You're gonna win this.' I was smiling at him the whole time. I was ready to just give him a big hug, and that's what I did when they announced it."

Sparks, 22, was among the guest stars who helped fill out the two-hour finale show, among them Rihanna, Neil Diamond, Reba McEntire, Chaka Khan and John Fogarty. "American Idol" judges Steven Tyler, with his band Aerosmith, and Jennifer Lopez also performed, but it was Sanchez and Jennifer Holliday who stood out with a powerhouse duet on "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."

Besides music, there was a marriage proposal for the season 11 finale: Former contestants Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo got engaged on stage.

Young, 31, a season five finalist, told Seacrest that he and DeGarmo, 24, had just moved in together. Then Young got down on one knee and popped the question to her.

"I love you to death. You're my best friend," Young said in his proposal, which included a jarring credit for the jeweler who made the engagement ring he was offering (which, given Fox's heavy soft drink and car sponsor product placement, wasn't so off-key).

DeGarmo, a runner-up in season three, tearfully accepted, her head bobbing up and down.

But the point of the finale, saved for the final minutes and the highest possible ratings, was anointing the newest Idol and winner of a record contract.

During the three-song showdown Tuesday between Phillips and Sanchez, the show's judges praised his performance across the board. Sanchez was faulted for a lackluster rendition of her third song, "Change Nothing."

Although some critics dismissed Phillips as a Dave Matthews clone, viewers embraced him for his humility, his on-camera mugging and his memorable acoustic covers of songs like Usher's "U Got It Bad." In weekly tallies, Phillips never fell among the low vote-getters.

On Tuesday, he earned consistently high marks from the show's judges, while Sanchez faltered on "Change Nothing," the song that could serve as her first release.

The teenager agreed with panelists Randy Jackson, Lopez and Tyler, saying she should have gone more "urban" with her song choice.

Phillips had better luck with the slow-tempo, acoustic tune "Home," which the judges said recalled artists like Fleet Foxes, Paul Simon and Mumford and Sons. At one point during Phillips' final performance, the pawn shop worker was accompanied by a marching band.

It was a hit with the panel. Jackson, beaming, exclaimed: "I love the song. I love you. I love the production. I love the marching band. Everything about that was perfect."

Last year's contest between McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina drew more than 122 million votes, the record that was broken Wednesday.

Ke$ha Gives Flaming Lips Frontman His First-Ever Toe Tattoo

'Within 20 minutes of being at her house, I had a tattoo on my toe,' Wayne Coyne says of working with Ke$ha.
By James Montgomery

<P><a href=" http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/flaming_lips/artist.jhtml">Flaming Lips</a> mastermind Wayne Coyne took more away more than just <a href=" http://pitchfork.com/news/46404-flaming-lips-blood-vinyl-10-copies-2500-features-keha-erykah-badu-nick-cave-chris-martin-blood/" target="_blank">a vial of blood</a> when he traveled to Nashville to record with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/kesha_/artist.jhtml">Ke$ha</a> (though, really, you'd think that would be enough). He also left with his first-ever tattoo ... not to mention a newfound respect for the wildchild pop star.</P><P>"Most of the time, if someone's willing to work with me, they're going to be a freak. And Ke$ha ... I sort of thought that she would be a freak, I'd heard about her and we'd tried to get a hold of her earlier," Coyne told MTV News backstage at the <a href="/news/articles/1685474/dave-matthews-band-hangout-fest.jhtml">Hangout Fest</a> in Gulf Shores, Alabama. "We showed up at her house, and she has a tattoo gun that she gives everyone a tattoo with, so within 20 minutes of being at her house, I had a tattoo on my toe; it's the only tattoo I've ever had.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Wayne Coyne Calls Ke$ha 'A Lot Of Fun'" id="vid:784802" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"We were set to do this one song that I had prepared, and we went into the studio that night, and stayed there until about 2 in the morning, and did four songs, just making stuff up," he continued. "And the next day [we] worked for another couple hours. She's funny, she's gracious, she's imaginative, she's creative and she's <i>a lot</i> of fun to be around."</P><P>The result of that collaboration (a song called "2012") shows up on the Lips' special Record Store Day double-LP, <i>The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends,</i> a thoroughly out-there collection of songs and sound-collages that &#8212; as the title implies &#8212; the band recorded with the likes of Bon Iver, Nick Cave, Neon Indian, Yoko Ono and, uh, Coldplay's Chris Martin ... to name just a few. But will fans get to hear even <i>more</i> of the Flaming Lips/Ke$ha team up? Well, Coyne certainly hopes so.</P><P>"We really loved making this music together &#8212; I think I've probably done six or seven songs with her &#8212; and I know a lot of her fans like it ['2012'], but I don't know if we'll put more songs out there," he said. "She has other agendas besides doing music with Wayne, you know, but I hope so, because I think it's really great, crazy, <i>unexpected</i> music. And she, to her credit, loves what we do. She wants it to be whatever. She has no limits of what she wants it to be."</P><P>And don't think the <i>Heady Fwends</i> sessions will the last time Coyne and Ke$ha share time (or blood) in the studio. If anything, the Lips' recent output of, uh, <i>non-traditional</i> releases &#8212; songs encased in gummy skulls and fetuses, 24-hour noise-jam freakouts that <a href="http://flaminglipstwentyfourhoursong.com/" target="_blank">play for all eternity</a>, limited-edition vinyl filled with actual blood, etc &#8212; suggests Coyne and Co. are just getting started ... and they're going to get even weirder before they're finished.</P><P>"That's been the beautiful thing about all of these weird collaborations and projects; you work with <i>freaks.</i> Even working with someone like Chris Martin, he's very open to, like, 'Let's do stuff!' That's the great surprise about it," Coyne said. "I don't think people are surprised when we work with a group like Lightning Bolt or Neon Indian &#8212; people think of us as like-minded &#8212; but the surprising thing with the Chris Martins or the Ke$has, they're like us too, they just don' play music that sounds like that all the time."</P><P><center><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></center></p>

Fund a business with retirement savings: Employee Stock Purchase ...

I?ve accepted it: Retirement is dead. Anyone still working today might never be able to retire.

So why are we all putting money into retirement savings accounts? ?Between IRAs, ROTHs, 401(k)s, SIMPLEs, SEPs and SOLOs, there?s no shortage of ways to save for a day that may never arrive. ?And yet Morningstar reports that the average retirement account lost value last year! ?(Mine certainly did!)

Here?s a better retirement plan: Stop Saving and Start Building. ?

Increasingly, entrepreneurs are tapping their retirement accounts to build a company that will enrich their life now and later. ?By building wealth and long-term income rather than savings, business owners are using their creative and productive years to the fullest ? multiplying their wealth themselves rather than worrying about the ups and downs of the stock market.

If you have an IRA or a 401(k), there is now a way for you to use retirement savings to fund your business growth ? or even start a new business. ?Turn your retirement account inside-out and put that money to use!

Forty years ago, you could put your retirement savings into the stock market and then launch a business by borrowing money from a bank. ?It made sense to ?borrow and invest?. ?But today banks aren?t lending and the stock market is, well, not exactly a reliable source of returns.

The new rule: Cut both the bank and the market out of your business plan.

WHY USE YOUR SAVINGS?
Here?s a quick quiz: ?Who do you trust the most: (a) a banker, (b) a stock broker or (c) yourself? ?If you answered (c), you?re a good candidate to dump that retirement plan right into your own business.

Consider the beneifts:

1. No Taxes: Money in a 401(k) or IRA was invested pre-tax. ?You can invest those dollars into your business without paying tax on them.
2. No Debt: ?Using your own money to build a business avoids high priced loans and can ease your business cash flow. ?Imagine owning a debt-free company. ?Life is good.
3. No Waiting: ?Retirement accounts can be converted to cash for your business in just 3 to 6 weeks (depending on what state you live in). ?I have yet to meet a bank that can approve a loan that fast!
4. No Whining: ?You keep complete control of your business. No bankers or pesky partners telling you what to do.
5. Lots of Leverage: If you?re building a really big business and need to borrow, use your funds as a?down payment?on a larger loan ? even an SBA loan.
6. Lots of Flexibility: ?Use the money for any legit business purpose.

THE PROCESS
OK, so how do you move your retirement account into your business? ?It turns out that this is not just a finance issue, but a legal one. ?The short answer: Get a trusted team involved. ?Some of the companies that provide this service include:

These intermediaries will help you structure what is called a QES ? Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan ? offered through a corporate 401(k). ?That?s the heart of this transaction, but there?s more to it than that. ?A good intermediary will assist you with corporate issues too, including creating and maintaining the correct form of corporation, a private placement memo and ?Regulation D Rule 506? compliance, ERISA compliance, corporate filings, tax filings, 401(k) administration and accounting.

Starting to sound complicated? ?A good intermediary will make it simple. ?Do not attempt this alone ? it takes a practiced securities attorney to do it right and a ?plan administrator? is required by law to maintain the retirement accounts.

Practically speaking, you should have a minimum of $50,000 in current retirement accounts. You can do less, but it may not be cost effective because there are fees to setup and maintain these accounts: ?There?s a flat fee for the upfront legal work and filing fees. (This can vary, but expect $5,000 or so.) ?There is also an annual plan administrator fee (Typically $1,000 per year).

There is no hard limit to the amount you can convert. ?Do you have half a million? ?Access it all if you want.

Once your current retirement accounts are transferred into the new corporate account (technically its a rollover, just like any other retirement rollover), you can use the money for whatever you need ? salaries, vehicles, land, buildings? any legitimate business purpose.

In fact, since this is a roll-over, you may be able to consolidate all your retirement accounts into the new plan, use what you need for the business, and keep the balance invested in whatever you want.

BONUS: ?When your business makes money, you can begin to put pretax money back into the 401(k) plan. ?So a well-crafted plan provides both a source of funding for your business now and a tax shelter later.

I?m betting you have questions. ?Leave me your questions below and I?ll have an attorney answer them so everyone can see the best advice. ?Or give me a call and let?s talk!

Dedicated to your (self-funded) profits, ?David

NOTE: ?Every single retirement account is different. ?To set up your QES plan and 401(k) account you will need excellent legal advice from a securities attorney who should evaluate your specific situation. Leave me your questions below or contact?a QES plan intermediary.? Remember, the?IRS will want you to keep good records ? documenting every step correctly ? and keeping everything separate from your personal financial life.

Console Innovation Is Past Due - Gentlemen of Gaming

The AP posted this story today outlining the state of the video game industry - and from looking at the list things aren't going so well. Company after company, from EA to Microsoft to Nintendo to Sony, are showing decreased revenues and/or losses from core video game products and services.

I'm far from a financial or industry expert, but it seems to me that the industry (particularly the console gaming industry) has been milking the cash cows of the current platforms for far too long and it's starting to catch up with them. The Wii, PS3 and XBOX 360 are very old by video game standards and the games themselves are starting be hamstrung by their aging technology. And most people who were ever going to buy one of these consoles has probably already done so - new products like the XBOX 360 Kinect notwithstanding.

But the software companies can't lay all the blame on the consoles either. I've gone on at length about my disappointments with EA, but they aren't the only company dropping the ball. Take-Two Interactive pushed back the release of BioShock Infinite from October 2012 to the end of February 2013 and took a 6% hit in stock price. And Activision Blizzard Inc. is showing lower revenue for their games as well - which isn't surprising considering their yearly Call of Duty releases are practically indistinguishable from each other.

Add all of this to the fact that games on platforms like the new iPad are increasingly more beautiful and engaging, and the console/traditional video game industry looks like it's in trouble. I understand why in a down-economy companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo decided to stick with the current consoles and only make iterative improvements. But if they want to succeed in the future, the time to come up with some real innovation is now.

Ore. workers awarded $332K in onsite toilet fight

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) ? Two workers who claimed they were forced to urinate in a bucket have been awarded $332,000 after a jury found they were fired for complaining to Oregon regulators about the lack of an onsite toilet.

The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/2gtxb5 ) that Douglas Eki and Xerxes "Jason" Doctolero told the state Occupational Safety and Health Division that they used the bucket because they couldn't get to a toilet fast enough.

They testified that their employer, Menzies Aviation, refused to provide them with a toilet and that using the restrooms of nearby businesses wasn't a solution because they were not welcome. The men performed mechanical work at Portland International Airport.

The state agency cited the company in August 2010 for failing to provide restrooms. The men were fired later that month.

A company lawyer contended the men were fired because they kept using the bucket after being told not to.

Internet Scams Earning Millions, Report Investigators

Internet Scams Earning Millions, Report Investigators

According to the FBI?s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), internet scams including identity theft, romance and advance free fraud have cost the U.S. over $450M USD in 2011, and those figures only account for reported crimes.? It is estimated 80% of such crimes go unreported.

Most common scam targeting Americans is cyber criminals approaching internet users on social networking sites and online dating sites, trying to be your ?friend? or gain your confidence.? Once they have an open line of communication, they can usually proceed to steal your identity, or money.?? The combinations and approaches used are endless, and anyone can be a victim.? In some cases the red flags are easy to spot, in other cases it may only take clicking on a link.?

Online shopping is also a main concern of internet security for the American government, the FBI and international investigators, as millions of emails are sent everyday offering victims bargains and deals that seem confusingly legit and authentic.? All it takes is a click on a bad link, or a visit to the wrong website and your computer maybe downloading a virus to take your passwords.

Overpayment fraud is a big concern now-a-days as victims get a check with instructions to deposit it in a bank account and send excess funds or a percentage of the money back to the sender. Private investigators explain that if caught, the sender (usually the victim) could also be charged in the scam, even though he was not aware of the crime he was committing when sending funds.

Most of these types of crimes come from people overseas located in the Philippines, Nigeria, Ghana, Ukraine, Russia, Malaysia and China, although there are no criminal operations from all over the world including the developed nations.? For a list of countries where private investigators actively screen for fraud and scams, click here. Before making any payment, consumers should confirm where does money comes from and who they are dealing with.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has reported that financial losses in 2011 were over $450 M USD, and romance scams are playing a major role in crime trend.? With more people connecting on social media and online dating sites like Match.com and Facebook, there is more fraud risk in relationships and more verification needed.? Profiles are easy to fake and identities are easily taken from the internet, so verifying someone you met online is often very difficult or impossible without the help of a trained private investigator or reputable private investigation firm.

Even all the efforts to inform the internet community about the threats of internet relationships, people still want to believe they are dating someone who is decent and honest, and find hard to believe the person on the other side of the wire can be a professional criminal.

Internet scams usually result in monetary and emotional distress for victims, and the crime is more serious than more people believe.? The result is also very costly to the global economy.? So, do yourself and the world a favor and be cautious in relationships on the internet.

Best of luck,

SpaceX Launches Private Capsule on Historic Trip to Space Station

This story was updated at 4:45 a.m. ET.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ? A private space capsule called Dragon soared into the predawn sky Tuesday, riding a pillar of flame like its beastly namesake on a history-making trip to the International Space Station.

The unmanned capsule, built by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX), is the first non-governmental spacecraft to launch to the space station, ushering in a new era of partnership between the public and private spaceflight programs.

"I think this is an example of American entrepreneurship at its best," said Alan Lindenmoyer, manager of NASA's commercial crew and cargo program, in a briefing before the launch. About 100 VIP guests were on hand to witness the launch, NASA officials said.?

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX launched its Dragon capsule at 3:44 a.m. EDT (0744 GMT) today (May 22) from a pad here at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It blasted off atop SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, a 157-foot (48-meter) booster powered by nine Merlin rocket engines.?The space station was flying 249 miles above the North Atlantic Ocean as the rocket lifted off, NASA officials said.?[Launch Photos: SpaceX's Dragon Blasts Off for Space Station]

Private spaceship in orbit

The gumdrop-shaped capsule is 14.4 feet tall (4.4 meters) and 12 feet wide (3.7 m), and packed with 1,014 pounds (460 kilograms) of cargo for the space station, including 674 pounds (306 kg) of food and supplies for the crew, as well as student-designed science experiments and a laptop computer.

The Falcon 9 rocket's second stage is also reportedly carrying ashes from 308 people, including actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on the 1960s television series "Star Trek," and Mercury program astronaut Gordon Cooper. The ashes were flown under a deal with the "memorial spaceflight" company Celestis, according to ABC News and Reuters.

The SpaceX launch vehicle is named after the Millennium Falcon of "Star Wars," while the capsule got its moniker from the Peter, Paul and Mary song, "Puff, the Magic Dragon."

Today marked only the second-ever launch of a Dragon capsule, and the third flight for the Falcon 9 rocket. It was the second attempt to launch the space station-bound test flight after a launch try Saturday was thwarted by a faulty rocket engine valve. Repairs were made over the weekend, and the SpaceX team counted down smoothly to the liftoff this morning.

"One thing that they are very good at is being able to work through launch abort and treat those problems and be prepared to go again in a very short time," Mike Horkachuck, NASA project executive for SpaceX, said Monday (May 21).

Today's launch is the last planned test flight for SpaceX under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program intended to develop a private-sector replacement for the cargo-delivery services of the retired space shuttles. SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract to fly at least 12 unmanned missions to the space station through 2015.

Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of boosting commercial access to space and, ultimately, aiming for deep-space exploration, including missions to Mars. The success of today's launch was never certain or assured, Musk had repeatedly said.

Today, the mission's uncertainty eased up a bit, he said.

"Falcon flew perfectly!!" Musk wrote in a Twitter post from Falcon 9's mission control room in Hawthorne. "Dragon in orbit, comm locked and solar arrays active!! Feels like a giant weight just came off my back."

Orbital catch up

The spacecraft is due to spend its first day on orbit catching up with the 240-mile high (390 km) space station, where it will rendezvous Thursday (May 24) and perform a fly-by to within 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) to check its navigation systems.?[Quiz: How Well Do You Know SpaceX's Dragon?]

On Friday (May 25), the capsule is slated to perform a series of maneuvers to approach the station, with crewmembers onboard the outpost issuing commands to Dragon. If the spacecraft passes a set of "go-no go" checks at Mission Control in Houston, NASA will approve the vehicle to approach the International Space Station. From inside, astronauts Don Pettit and Andre Kuipers will use the lab's robotic arm to grab Dragon and berth it to the station's Harmony node.

The hatches between the two spacecraft are due to be opened early Saturday (May 26), so the crew can enter Dragon and unpack its deliveries.

Dragon is due to spend about a week and a half attached to the outpost. On May 31, the capsule will be packed with completed science experiments and other equipment, unberthed, and sent back toward Earth. The vehicle is equipped with a heat shield to withstand the fires of re-entry, and is due to splash down and be recovered by ship in the Pacific Ocean.

Private spaceflight reality

Dragon is an unmanned version of a capsule ultimately intended to carry people as well.

Another company, Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., also has a NASA contract to deliver cargo to the space station, and plans to launch its first test flight later this year.

The program is part of a larger effort by NASA to outsource low-Earth orbit transportation to the private sector, allowing the space agency to begin work on a new spacecraft and heavy-lift rocket to visit asteroids, the moon and Mars.

The plan has received criticism from some lawmakers and members of the public, who worry that commercial vehicles aren't as safe or reliable as NASA's in-house built spacecraft.

"It's really easy to criticize, and it's very difficult to solve a problem and actually do something," said SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell. "So I tend to focus on the business and getting our jobs done and not focus on those that want to criticize."

NASA officials and leaders of the commercial space sector say the time is right for space to transition from an exclusively government regime to an arena open to private companies.

"I kind of see that transition as being inevitable," said Phil McAlister, NASA's director of Commercial Spaceflight Development. "I believe it is going to happen at some point. If it's not today and this mission falls short of expectations, it is going to happen eventually."

Most Willoughby Hills drivers know that braking means slowing or stopping a vehicle. The mechanical aspects of the brakes themselves are just one issue. There?s also the power brake system and brake fluid. And then there are the tires, which are critical to the effectiveness of the brakes.

Let?s step back. A car or truck rolls brand new off the showroom floor at a local Willoughby Hills dealer. It has brand new brakes with brand new brake pads. The brake lines and the power assist are filled with fresh fluid and are completely clean inside. And the sedan tires are brand new, with full tread. Naturally, braking power is at its peak performance.

Now, as your drive from Willoughby Hills to Willoughby and back, the miles start to add up. Most Willoughby Hills car owners tend to focus on the brake pads. In the Willoughby Hills automotive service community, the pads, and shoes on drum brakes, are called the friction material. That?s because they provide the friction used to stop the sedan. The pads are designed to be effective throughout their useful life ? it?s not until they are worn so thin as to be out of spec that they lose stopping effectiveness.

The mechanical parts of the brakes have pistons and springs that get quite a workout while stopping the sedan. Over many miles, these wear and get gummed up. They start to lose effectiveness gradually and could even fail. That?s why a regular brake inspection is important. At Willoughby Hills Auto Repair, we can test the operation of the brakes and see if any parts need cleaning or replacing.

That leads us to brake fluid service at Willoughby Hills Auto Repair. Some of the critical additives in the fluid that lubricate and clean the sedan fluid system are depleted over time. That and moisture building up in the system deteriorate the performance of the brake fluid. Brake fluid replacement at Willoughby Hills Auto Repair includes flushing the brake system to clean out deposits, water and dirt. Then the system is filled up with fresh fluid.

The tires are what connect the sedan to the road. The stopping force is ultimately dependent on the traction provided by the tires. The better they grip the road, the quicker you?ll stop as you drive around Willoughby Hills.

For questions about brakes, brake pads, brakes, tires, or tires, talk to Willoughby Hills Auto Repair? manager Craig Hatcher.

How to Acheive Lasting Good Health and Fitness | Tony Horton&#39;s ...

When Trying to?Find?a Balance Between a Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit?Who is Your Idol?

I?m a mom of three; two teenagers and on 11 year-old. Most kids have idols
and we hope that they choose someone who is ethical, admirable and
inspirational. Many of my kids? idols are amateur or professional athletes and
I?m proud that they research the individual to find out more about who they are
as person beyond their athletic milestones and records. An idol is someone who
ideally embodies positive leadership and ethical traits.

One my idols is Dara Torres. ?Torres, who turned 45 on April 15, is also a favorite to make her sixth Olympic team in the 50-meter freestyle at next month?s U.S. Olympic
swimming trials in Omaha. A 12-time Olympic medalist who won three medals at
the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, Torres has consistently gotten faster with age, relying on a team of medical and fitness experts to help her outwit Father Time.? (from a recent article in the Washington Post)

Why is Dara my idol? She exudes three key elements that I strive for to enhance the balance between a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

1. Determination. At 45 most women would have retired from amateur
   swimming. In fact, when she was on the Olympic team at 25 years of age she was
   nick-named ?Grandma.? Kids today are getting involved in organized sports right
   about the time they learn to walk. Sport science has come so far that young
   kids are doing well beyond what people twice their age could ever dream of
   doing when they were younger. Dara has to work that much harder because her
   older body doesn?t recover as quickly, she has less muscle mass and her heart
   and lungs are just less efficient that someone a lot? younger than her. But she presses on. I love
   her competitive nature and her sheer determination to prove that age is just a
   number.
2. Purpose and Mental Focus. As we all know, to stick to a fitness routine
   and refuse to give into cravings for unhealthy foods it takes mental focus.
   Yes, Dara has all kinds of trainers and sports scientists helping her with this
   and giving her tools to use to enhance her mental focus, and you might argue
   that she has far fewer distractions than the average 45 year-old mom, but it
   still takes her own desire and willingness to stay true to her mission. She has
   purpose. Knowing your purpose gives meaning in life. Knowing your real purpose
   for getting healthy and fit is what helps you stay the course on the most
   challenging and difficult days. Dara is the epitome someone with a clear
   purpose. ?You Lord, give perfect peace to
   those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.? Isiah 26:3
3. Work Ethic. She understands that there?s no free lunch, that every one of her achievements has been paved by hard work and attention to detail. At 45 she says a day doesn?t go by when her body is not sore. I?d like to install a strong work ethic in my own kids. As a kid growing up I worked very hard in school and at sports and good grades and athletic achievements never came easy. My parents always said that if I was going to earn anything I had to work hard and as high achiever I took that to heart, at times so much so that they were afraid I?d burn out at young age. But I wouldn?t change my advice to anyone at any age who wants to embark on a healthier lifestyle. There are many pills, diets, and surgeries available
   today to make weight loss ?easier? and ?quicker.? Quick fixes just don?t cut it
   because there is no journey and there is so much to be learned on the journey.
   If you take the short cut you miss out on the ups and downs, the challenges and
   those hard earned success points. Those experiences are what teach us and help
   us make lasting change.

My Accountability Plan to You: Beachbody Ultimate Reset Update:

Today is Day 12 of the 21 day Beachbody Ultimate Reset. Overall I feel great. I am sleeping soundly, waking refreshed and have better mental clarity and focus. The recipes that are provided on the reset are delicious and I know I will continue to make most of them beyond day 21.?I still have cravings for things like coffee and sweets now and again, but they are dissipating. Despite the advice not to do so, I did workout 4 times. I know my body pretty well and would not advise this for those who feel like this meal plan is a drastic changed from the way they normally eat. Your body is certainly getting a serious internal workout and for those who are eliminating many things from
their diet that they normally eat their muscles will not be able to handle a
workout too.

I would highly recommend this Reset for anyone who has reached a plateau in weight loss, anyone who is looking for a tasty, healthier way to eat and for anyone who wants a jump start on their weight loss but is not ready for a serious exercise regimen.

Shocking Secrets Revealed About Home Improvement | The Only ...

Home improvement projects can run into all types of hazards. Don?t buy drywall that comes from China. Much drywall has been made in China since 2005. A lot of it suffers unacceptable quality control. In the worst cases, the drywall from China has been found to put off harmful gas that will corrode your wiring inside the walls.

When you are painting, remember to put down plastic to protect the floors. This will help ensure wet paint doesn?t ruin them. An inexpensive way to do this is to use old newspaper in layers. A paint cloth works well too, as you simply need to create a barrier to prevent the paint from hitting the floor.

Redecorate in a cost efficient way by painting. Paint can instantly spruce up a room. You can completely change a space with a fresh new color. Remember, if you are not happy with it, changing it is always easy to do.

Protect your carpeting by keeping your drapes shut on very sunny days. The sunlight can actually bleach your carpet, leaving lighter spots where the light most often hits the fibers. Open your drapes when the sunlight is less intense, or arrange furniture to diffuse some of the sun?s rays.

A protective screen around your gutters is very valuable for saving money and reducing messes. They will keep the debris out of your gutters, keeping the water flowing freely. You will likely still need to sweep the exterior of these free of debris occasionally; however, there will be no more scooping of pounds of decomposing leaves out of the actual gutters.

Replace your front door with one made of steel for a great home improvement that will add value to your home. Studies show that homeowners who bought steel entry doors recouped about 129% of the costs of their projects when they sold their home. A steel door that is new can boost curb appeal and create an energy efficient home.

You do not need to live in a mansion these days to install a chandelier. For less than $500, you can find elegant, striking chandeliers that work well as gorgeous focal points for rooms such as a formal dining room, foyer or den. Also, chandeliers add brightness to a room as well as a sparking appearance.

Inquire at your local building supply retailer if they have any discounted supplies for sale. Items that get discontinued will cost less and will help you save money when it comes to completing the project you?ve started. In order to minimize costs, keep sales items in mind as you refine your project design.

Learn how to do as much of the home improvement project on your own when planning it. Hiring a professional can be expensive (some charge $40.00 an hour or even more!) and if you can do the manual labor yourself, you will not only save money, you will also gain pride in your work.

Some home improvements go wrong down the road when they shouldn?t, so being able to stop the payment process via credit card or a check is a great way to go. Unfortunately there are still some scam artists out there. On the way to the bank with your check, your floor might pull loose or your paint might chip. Meanwhile, they?re about to cash out. Credit card payment will work best for you, as the charges are disputable for quite some time.

Are you thinking about giving your home a much-needed facelift? Perhaps even a full nip and tuck? Most home owners will need to do improvements to their houses throughout their lifetime. As we have stated in this guide, there are some tricks that you could do to make home improvement project easier to accomplish. It?s hoped this article has opened the door to a few of them. Get started now on improving your home.

Wade, Heat move on after Game 3 spat

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Refreshed in body and spirit, the Miami Heat returned to practice reunited and refocused.

There was no looking back. No heartfelt apologies given. No need for a detailed autopsy of Dwyane Wade's ugly sideline exchange with coach Eric Spoelstra in Game 3.

What's done is done. All that's for another day. Right now, it's time to save the season.

"We move on," Wade said.

Down 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the ready-to-rumble Indiana Pacers, the Heat were back on the floor Saturday after staying away from Bankers Life Fieldhouse for a day to decompress following their stunning 94-75 loss, a defeat amplified by the clash between Wade and Spoelstra during a timeout in the third quarter.

On Friday, Wade drove to Bloomington, Ind., and visited Indiana coach Tom Crean, his college coach for three years at Marquette. LeBron James went to the movies, catching "The Dictator." Spoelstra joked that he locked away the keys to the team bus so players couldn't get to the arena.

"We wanted to get away," Spoelstra said as his team prepared for Sunday's Game 4.

Wade, who scored just five points on 2-of-13 shooting and had five turnovers in Thursday's blowout, insists that any apparent problems with Spoelstra were overblown. He downplayed their fiery spat.

"Things happen," said Wade, who refused to acknowledge his quarrel with Spoelstra following the game. "In a perfect world a lot of things would go differently, but it's not a perfect world. A lot of stuff in our game is in the heat of the battle, emotional-type things. When something happens, it happens and we move on as a team.

"Me and coach have been together for nine years in some capacity. We've had many different conversations, some like that and some not. It wasn't the first, it won't the last. We know how to move on from things and we know each other wants the best for each other."

"There's no harm done. We're a family."

Spoelstra knows the dispute didn't look good to the outside world, but it's just part of professional sports.

"Your communication sometimes is not for everybody's living room, but it's normal in our living room," he said. "We've moved well beyond that. Dwyane and I have been together for a long time, nine or 10 years. That's the least of our concerns the last two days."

With an aggressive approach on both ends of the floor, the Pacers have won the past two games to put the Heat in an unforeseen hole and place their title hopes in serious danger. A win on Sunday would put Indiana up 3-1 and send the panic meter to code red in south Florida.

James, though, believes the Heat can even the series.

"We're a confident bunch," the MVP said. "We've got a veteran ballclub. We didn't play well in Game 3, so we have an opportunity to go out and make amends and try to bring it back to our house with the series tied 2-2."

The Pacers expect Wade to be back on his game Sunday. Although he's struggling with leg issues, Wade is still one of the game's top players and has the ability to score in bunches. So his players wouldn't forget how dangerous Wade can be, Indiana coach Frank Vogel gave them some video reminders before practice.

"We showed clips of him torching us in previous games, making shots that he's been missing in this series," Vogel said. "Dwyane Wade has not been the normal Dwyane Wade we're all used to seeing. We understand the threats that are there and I've made sure they leave here understanding that this team can beat us."

The most intense matchup in this series has been between James and Indiana's Danny Granger, who has not shied away from being physical with Miami's superstar.

Granger and James have had altercations in the past two games, with their teammates stepping in to separate them before either could do anything they'd regret. Granger was called for a technical Thursday after he pulled James' jersey on a breakaway and then took exception to an elbow extended toward his face.

"That's part of basketball. That's two men battling," Granger said. "I'm not backing down from anybody, and he's not backing down from anybody. And when you get that, you get some altercations."

Vogel has preached all season for his players to have an "edge," but doesn't want them to do anything that could hurt the team.

"They understand very clearly that we are not interested in any ejection or suspension," he said. "They also understand very clearly that a key to this series is letting the Miami Heat know that we're not backing down from them."

Granger said he knows not to take things too far. The risks are too great.

"I know where the line is," Granger said. "(NBA commissioner) David Stern has done a good job of making sure we know what the line is and what not to cross. We won't cross that line. We just want each other to know it's going to be an intense battle, and it's going to be a fight."

James brushed aside Granger's tough-guy talk as an opponent playing mind games.

"Why would he be scared of me?" James said. "I'm not no monster and this ain't no horror movie. I'm not trying to scare anybody. He's hyping himself up to say he's not scared of me. Have I ever been intimidated by anybody in this league? I don't think so.

"I go out and play my game and let my game do the talking."

Different Types of House Pests and How to Get Rid Of Them

House depreciation is the last thing you need as a homeowner. It gets worse when house pests start disintegrating the overall structure of your home. According to recent termite damage statistics, 600,000 homes in the US are ravaged by pests, and residents spend roughly $5 billion annually for pest control and home repairs as a result of the damage.

Some people think that by monthly sweeping, vacuuming or refurbishing your home, you can rid it of house pests, but that's not all there is to it. A pest control expert would advice home residents to conduct a thorough house inspection of your crawl space, attic, basement, and the garage at least once a year to determine if there are any underlying pest problems that built up over time.

But what really are pests? Pest controllers describe them as those animal critter types that live and invade human habitation, causing damage and spreading diseases. Some people only relate house pests to termites, cockroaches and rats. But there are others more terrible--and, in the end, more damaging to your home.

Carpenter Ants

The largest member of the ant family, these creatures are basically ? to ?- inch long and come in a variety of colors, although the most distinguished is the black ant. They are fond of chewing and accumulating in passageways or ?galleries' in woods. According to pest control Orange County experts, carpenter ants like damp areas and thrive in wet climates, and are likely to nest in the kitchen, bathroom, clogged gutters and downspouts.

Solution: You can either purge them yourself by spraying aerosol pesticides on the affected area, or lining your home with white gravel. If the situation proves uncontrollable, you can always call a professional carpenter ant controller to do the job.

Bedbugs

Most people think they're safe on their beds, until something bites them, and rashes appear on the skin. Bed bugs are parasites that like to feed on human skin and blood, and they usually dwell in mattress folds and sheets, in bed corners, and frames. An adult grows 4-5 mm in length and 1.5-3 mm wide, and can produce up to 400 offspring.

Solution: Since these parasites are too small to be seen by the naked eye, you need to call a professional pest control Orange County experts suggest, to perform a thorough fumigation into the affected area of your home.

Silverfish

It got its name because of its slender shape, long antennae and 3 tail-like cerci. They like to reside in the dark areas of attics and basements. They like to munch on cellulose, starches and vegetable-based materials and can cause damage to food, books and fabrics.

Solution: As advised by a termite control Irvine expert, it's best to call a professional pest controller to apply silicone caulk and fumigate the entire affected area, as well. Visit allabouthome.com/directories/dir_pests.html for more info about common house pests.
