I was first introduced to this awesome video, 'Everyday' back in 2006 when one of my piano students wanted to play the song that was written for this extremely unique project.

The interesting thing is not that 'Fifty Shades of Grey' debuted at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List and spent the last 25 weeks at the top of the hill with the other two books of the trilogy at #2 and#3 respectively for just about as long. Nor is it interesting really that it was knocked off the list at all because it had to get dethroned some day right?

Waddya Mean Being Skinny Is Worse Than Being Obese?

Keith James — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 03:15:12 +0000

In a society that is absolutely consumed with image and it's collective waistline (me included) this comes as a complete shock, because how in the world can skinniness be anywhere near as harmful much less more harmful than being overweight? Well, recent findings are saying that this is the truth but is this similar to when they tell us that eggs are healthy one week and then the next week they're not? Well, either way here's the skinny (...oops, too soon?)
