Way better than a young bald dude, am I right?
I am so sorry to hear this story, but honestly nothing comes through right now about this, so sorry about your loss. truly I am. I draw a big blank on this. If i was to say anything it would be about Lilly pads and a canoe and something about a picnic and some samwhiches, I doubt it has anything to do with anything? Also maybe Sally knows?

No she died of an overdose in her bed. She went to bed on Saturday night and told everyone she loved them and we found her Sunday morning. That night her grandfather had dreamed he saw her floating in a river and the next second she was in his arms dead. He was very disturbed by the dream and went to church Sunday morning. When he got out he came and found out she really died. That disturbed him even more. She stole some of my meds as I have had 23 major surgeries and suffer from chronic pain from all the injuries. I kept them locked in a safe, but she found the combo where I had kept in in a file on my computer and managed to get into it. Her sister knew about it (2 years younger) and didn't say anything. SHe has a real hard time with it.
BTW we are sure it was an accidental OD. She was very happy and was looking forward to our annual trip to the Keys fishing. THe meds were just that potent she took what I take for a dose and it killed her.
Try again, most likely means nothing.

I was very psychic as a child. I would answer questions my parents were just thinking. I would tell them what was inside of buildings and describe the people there. I lost the ability with age, but still have certain capabilities. Work on it and you can strengthen you abilities.

Alright you two! I will give you a second chance! This is amusing.
Please do not feel the need to answer right away. I would prefer you take as much time as you need to really try to test yourself. No doubt there must be a lot of "noise" flying around the ether right now, what with all the questions. So when you feel like coming back to me, the question is...

This month in our series of monthly bitesize extracts from Nutcases revision guides, we have an outline of R v Secretary of State for Transport Ex p. Factortame 1990.
Key Principle
The full effectiveness of EU law would be impaired if a rule of national law could prevent a court considering a matter governed by EU law from granting interim relief.
Following concern about the tenuous nature of the link between the owners of a number of fishing vessels and the United Kingdom, the Merchant Shipping Act 1988 was adopted, setting out stringent rules for the registration of fishing vessels as British. Many vessels owned by Spanish nationals previously registered as British no longer qualified and thus could not share in the UK fishing quota under the common fisheries policy. The unsuccessful applicants sought judicial review in the United Kingdom and suspension of the relevant parts of the 1988 Act, arguing that the Act contravened various provisions of the Treaty. An injunction against the Secretary of State was refused. The House of Lords referred questions for interpretation to the ECJ under art.267.
A national law should be set aside where it prevents the granting of interim relief in a dispute governed by EU law. [1990] E.C.R. I-2433.
[1] The ruling of the ECJ followed the interim decision of the same court in an enforcement action brought by the Commission against the United Kingdom under art.258 TFEU : Commission v UK (Case C-246/89R), ordering the United Kingdom to suspend the operation of the offending sections of the 1988 Act. The House of Lords applied the decision and set aside the rule that an interim injunction cannot be granted against the Crown in R. v Secretary of State for Transport Ex p. Factortame (1991). The ECJ later ruled on the interpretation of the substantive provisions of the Treaty (in Case C-221/89R), holding that arts 49 TFEU etc. were infringed in circumstances where registration was made more difficult for nationals from other Member States than for nationals from the host state.
[2] The ECJ ruled on the status of a requirement for interlocutory (interim) proceedings in Melki and Abdeli (Joined Cases C-188 &189/10. It held that a national requirement for an interlocutory procedure to review the constitutionality of a national law before making a reference to the ECJ did not infringe EU law provided national courts were free to apply any necessary measures to protect rights under EU law and disapply conflicting national measures at the end of the interlocutory proceedings.
This is an extract from Nutcases EU Law by Penelope Kent, available from bookstores and Amazon.co.uk.
Nutshells and Nutcases are the original revision and starter guides with content from Sweet & Maxwell and Westlaw UK. Nutshells are an ideal starter guide to the subject, giving a full overview, while Nutcases give an in-depth case analysis of the facts, principles and decisions of the most important cases.

A-England surprised me again! I how these nail polishes are produced, but there is definitely some magic involved.
Ascalon is a grey-lilac holographic duochrome. This is probably the best I can describe it. It is in fact asphalt holographic nail polish with duochrome effect. The photos can't fully reveal the beauty of this little wonder. The formula is superb as well as durability of the nail polish.
Ascalon is a part of the stunning The Legends Collection. I bought it directly from A-England website, but you can also order it from Llarowe shop.

Remember last week when I revealed my messy, disorganized (and I could even say dangerous) spice cabinet?
I made these fun custom spice jars to remove some of the cluttering containers from the cabinet to a drawer. (P.S. If you like my labels, you can find a link to them here.)
This week I worked on some more decluttering. I threw out a few old boxes of hot tea packets, condensed a few others, and attempted to containerize some like items. I was even able to add in some other useful things - salt carton, hot pot, and coffee creamers. Here's my progress shot:
Still a work in progress, and I've got a couple more projects planned to take care of these containers.
Today I worked on a project for the inside of the cabinet door. For months, I've had little notes taped up or wedged into the wood work - mostly spice mix recipes. But I've wanted some kind of board there on the inside of the cabinet door where it's handy but out of sight.
I did a Pinterest search and found some potential ideas here.
Source: infarrantlycreative.net via Susan on Pinterest
Here's what I had to work with. I measured the inset area and it came up just slightly under 12"x20". (Nasty grease smear at the bottom corner. What can I say? I cook and use this cabinet all the time!)
I originally envisioned cork board there, but quality cork was too expensive and the cheap options were too thin and flimsy or brittle to work with here. So I decided to go with a magnetic option.
With my limited time, budget and home improvement skills (read: impatience), I tried to come up with the quickest and easiest option. Enter...
The Cookie Sheet! Lightweight piece of magnet-friendly metal in a convenient, no-cut size!
Additional cast members purchased from Walmart today:
Small magnetic cork board $.97 (my favorite, but there was only one)
Long and narrow borderless cork board $2.97
Self-adhesive mounting squares $3.77
New measuring spoons and cups (several of mine are missing, and I started with 2 sets!!) $.88
Oh, and the brand new cookie sheet was $2.88
Just to be safe, I checked it's magnetic strength and ability to hold a suction cup. :-)
So then I took the mounting squares...
...and attached them to the corners of the back of the sheet.
There's kind of a ridge around the edge of the bottom, so I just put it right on the edge there.
Okay, now that I've loaded and edited all the pictures and gotten this far writing this post, I've learned something, and I think it would be prudent to include here. Non-stick pans, while great for baking, are not so compatible with adhesive squares. One would think this would be obvious, but it's not. So, an hour or two after "finishing" the project, as I'm showing it off to hubster, the "magnetic message board" fell right down, nearly into our creamy tortilla soup, causing me to jump off the ground and spill a ladle of said soup. Go me!
Moral of the story: Shortcuts are great for long journeys, bad for home improvement projects. Here's what I'm going to do to remedy the situation (I'll choose one or two from this list of options):
1. Coat this pan or a cheap replacement with spray paint or mod podge or both.
2. Get a cheap pan that is not non-stick
3. Scuff the edges so that the squares will have something to stick to
4. Bite the bullet and use actual glue
Now you know...the rest of the story. Moving on...
Once I got it mounted, here's what it looked like.
I knew that I wanted space below the sheet to hang my measuring cups and spoons. I experimented with a couple of hook options that I had on hand, but I'm not happy with those. Here's an idea of what I'm going for.
I thought it looked a little too plain and, well, cookie-sheet-ish. So I trimmed a sheet of scrapbook paper that matches my spice jars and stuck it up there. Easy-peasy. I'm so impatient.
|I couldn't help a little word joke. Do you "C" it? And yes, I fully recognize my dorkiness.
Also, isn't this little magnetic cork board that you see in the corner of the cookie sheet just so cute? For $.97, I wish I'd found a couple more because they are actually solid 1/2" cork with a full sheet of magnet on the back.
You may be wondering where that other narrow cork board went. Well, I didn't like any of the possible ways it could fit in this cabinet, but I found a perfect spot for it nearby. The mounting squares seem to be doing just fine with this piece.
This nearby cabinet holds my cookbooks and paper recipes, so it's a great spot for this.
Okay, so that's all for this installment. I'm definitely not done tinkering in this area, but I will for sure share with you whatever I come up with. If you have some handy tips for me that you'd like to pass along, I am very open to them!

I am always amazed by the change of the season here in Michigan…
In the Fall
the trees and flowers
dry up
and appear to be dead
and then in the Spring
they come back to life-
they glow and shimmer
in the warmth of the sun;
they dangle and dance
in the rhythm
of the summer rain…
it reminds me
of how I must have faith
that when things appear
to be without life or form…
it may only be for a season,
not a lifetime.

I Want To Be a Bad Ass….
I want to be Kathy Griffin, Bethany Frankel or Sue Sylvester when I grow up. Their lightening-quick wit, their shameless self promotion, what's not to love?
Gotta love a tough chick.
Sure, I'm pretty certain Sue could take the Glee kids out behind the bleachers and open a can of good ol' fashioned butt whooping, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking mental toughness. Don't sleep on Kathy Griffin. She may seem like a pint sized leprechaun who's made a living out of telling jokes about celebrities, but she's no joke. When it comes down to it, she works her booty off. There no gig that she's too good for. When she sets a goal for herself, she goes after it whole heartedly. Let's not forget that she's a two time Emmy winner, and she's also a two time Grammy nominee. As for Bethany, she's been able to use "reality" to propel her brand. I mean for the love of God, she ws working during her wedding day. And Sue, while she makes life hell for those poor hardworking Glee kids, she works her tushy off with her beloved Cheerios.
Got tact – not so much.
But you've got to love the brutal honesty. Foot in the mouth syndrome anyone? I often suffer from this affliction myself. But let's be honest, these women say things that many of us are thinking and wish we had the guts to say. Let's me be real – I might love me some Matt Morrison (Will Shuster), but I do have some fundamental issues with a guy who's got a better head of hair than I do. Sue tells it like it is. She's unapologetic and she's direct. It's refreshing. As for Bethany, she's not even safe from her own brand of honesty. We've all seen Kathy Griffin in all her awesomeness. Nothing is sacred. No one is safe. Not even Jesus. But one thing's for sure, they're honest.
Hearts of Gold.
It's doesn't take a PhD in Psychology to tell you these badass women use their well crafted armor to protect themselves from getting hurt. Like a porcupine, their verbal jabs are designed to protect the inner soft core. When it comes down to it, each of these women love deeply and will fight to protect those they care about. Yes, even Sue. I don't want to ruin the end of Season one for any of you who haven't seen it yet, but Sue comes through for those kids.
As writers we're always looking to improve our characters. Somehow the great writers always manage to braid these characteristics into characters we love. If you could combine any three people and characteristics for an ideal character, who and what would they be?

Just back from a workshop at the museum Kulturen in Lund. The theme was new takes on cultural heritage, memories and representation. Three different projects, all dealing with the ephemeral aspects of culture and environment, were presented.
Archaeologist Anders Högberg presented the problematic conctructions of memory connected to the demolished premises of two stigmatized Swedish industries (Lomma eternit and BT kemi). Helen Stalin Åkesson showed how she had been working with some thought provoking methods to unveil different sides of the urban, and some industrial sites. I made a short presentation of the project Förbisett (≈ Overlooked) run by me and Niklas Ingmarsson, together with photographer Martin Magntorn.

The other day I locked myself in the "powerlifting" portion of my gym and wanted to challenge myself to a new workout that was a bit unconventional and different than previous workouts. I wanted to complete an entire shoulder workout using only the assistance of a barbell and 45 pound plates. No machines, no cables, not even any free weights.
Just me, myself, and I at my favorite bar
A shoulder workout is not complete unless you hit the deltoids from all angles. This includes the front, the back, and the side (if your mind is in the gutter please remove it now). This workout will provide a great shoulder workout routine with little needed by way of equipment. Your delts will be making the ladies melt in no time.
Barbell Only Shoulder Workout for Mass
Standing Overhead Press (5 x 5): This will be the main compound movement of the day allowing you to build strength in all three heads of the deltoid along with improving your core strength and stability.
Barbell Front Raises (4 x 10): Choose a moderate weight that is challenging yet doable for approximately 10 repetitions. You don't want to be swinging the weights around you want to control the weight and bring the barbell to shoulder level.
Upright Rows (4 x 10): Not only will this engage the shoulders but will also work the traps as well. If you seek those powerful looking traps be sure to include upright rows in every back or shoulder routine.
Behind the Neck Press (4 x 12): This movement will target the rear delts and also engage the traps as well. Pick a slightly higher rep scheme to target this smaller muscle group.
Plate Lateral Raises (4 x 15): Plate lateral raises will be a nice change from your standard dumbbell lateral raises. For this exercise use 10 pound plates to start with. Depending upon the type of weights available at your gym, you will not only work the lateral delts but also improve your grip strength.
Barbell Shrugs (4 x 10): Traps are optional with your shoulder but I recommend throwing them in here as they fit in perfectly with this workout. Instead of being one of the guys that throws on 5 plates per side choose a controllable weight and focus on muscle contraction and engagement.

Review of Michael Heller's collected poems @Jacket2
Review of This Constellation Is a Name @ Jacket2
As Ezra Pound wrote Louis Dudek: "C/vn not a one man job." Happily, readers other than my lone self appreciate the writing of Michael Heller, and Eric Hoffman has reviewed Heller's collected poems, which review is readable at the link!
Michael Heller, an Introduction to his Poetry
immanent occasions blogspot has beaten me to putting up some remarks on Michael Heller's poetry, now collected in his This Constellation is a Name. You can read the post, here.
Happy Birthday, Charles Reznikoff
Happy Birthday, Charles Reznikoff
The Allen Ginsberg Project has thoughtfully posted a recording of a reading in honour of American Objectivist poet Charles Reznikoff, the promise and possibilities of whose work are, happily, increasingly appreciated, from yesterday's late Beats to today's Conceptualists and more direct descendants, such as Michael Heller (whose volume of collected poems This Constellation is a Name was published just last year). The Objectivists' fame has reached even to Russia: Kirill Medvedev (a very compelling figure in his own right) reflects on their legacy in his poem "The End of the Ceasefire (The End of the Objectivist School?)". Perhaps with the excesses of Capital and America's warmongering Reznikoff's executors will feel the time is ripe to reissue Reznikoff's cold-eyed, unrelenting castigation of exploitation and racism, Testimony.
(My difference of opinion with certain latter-day receptions of Reznikoff's work can be found here).

If you're a fan of hot horny girls fucking in public then this video is right for you, as public violations have yet again found themselves a hot horny slut that would do just about anything for a thrill. In this scene you will see her fuck lick and suck on a guys cock when they sneak off down the back of the car park to have a quick fumble behind some bins whilst his mate sneakily films them with a secret camera.
When the scene starts, watch as she slips her tongue down his throat whilst he holds her big fake boobies before she gets down on her knees and takes his thick meaty dick in her mouth making it hard with excitement as he starts to moan with joy. A few minutes on, she continues to suck his throbbing piece of meat until she pulls down he trousers and allows him to slip his cock in her wet pussy crack giving them both shivers of pleasure as they both moan with ease. Watch on as he then pounds her muff till several minutes later he gives her a thick layer of hot cum that drips own her chest as hits her in the face! Just go to public violations now!

Topic: Second language speech learning: the case of vowel perception and production in L2 German
Abstract: Learning to speak a foreign language is hard. When it comes to German vowels, L2 learners have to master various phonetic dimensions which most likely differ from those in their L1. For example, German differentiates between long, tense and short lax vowels, and it is crucial for an L2 learner to perceive and produce the difference between, for example, -Rate- ("instalment") and -Ratte- ("rat"). It has been hypothesized that both Turkish and Polish learners have difficulties acquiring this difference, but – up until the present study – this has not been tested experimentally. By means of various production and perception experiments, we investigated whether and how learners have problems learning important acoustic dimensions such as duration and spectral features. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of orthography in second language speech learning. This factors has, as of recently, received considerable attention in the field, and the present study is the first to experimentally investigate the influence of orthographic markers in L2 German speech.

Topic: Can classification videos reveal the information used to respond to an opponent's tennis stroke?
Abstract: Experts are able to predict the outcome of their opponent's next action (e.g. a tennis stroke) based on kinematic cues "read" from preparatory body movements. This ability has been revealed in occlusion experiments, which present sporting scenarios with different possible outcomes (e.g. a cross-court or down-the-line tennis return) but remove segments of video (e.g. by stopping the video at ball contact) in order to assess how behaviour is affected. Here, we instead used classification-image techniques to find out how participants discriminate sporting scenarios as they unfold.
We filmed tennis players serving and hitting forehands, each with two possible directions. These videos were presented to novices and club-level amateurs, running from 800ms before to 200ms after racquet-ball contact. During practice, participants reported shot direction under a time limit targeting 90% accuracy. Participants then viewed videos through Gaussian windows ("Bubbles") placed at random in the temporal (E1), spatial (E2) or spatiotemporal (E3) domains. Comparing Bubbles from correct and incorrect trials revealed the contribution of information from different regions toward a correct response.
Temporally, two regions supported accurate responding (from ~50 ms before ball contact to 100+ ms afterwards, and, for forehands, at around the time of swing initiation, ~300 ms before ball contact). Spatially, information was accrued from the ball trajectory and from the opponent's head, perhaps reflecting their gaze direction. Spatiotemporal bubbles again highlighted ball trajectory information, but seemed susceptible to an attentional cuing artefact. Overall, there seems to be potential to help players improve by showing them from when/where they read information, but our results so far have been dominated by the information accrued from the ball trajectory, rather than earlier kinematic cues. This may reflect the competent, but not elite, standard of our tennis players. We are now analysing data from experiments that focus on the period before ball contact, and hope to present our preliminary findings from these newer experiments in order to promote discussion of collaborative follow-up work.

* Dish discloses Sling TV subscribers for first time
* Added 160,000 subscribers for Sling TV in Q4
* Lost 121,000 Dish TV subscribers in Q4
* Shares down 2 pct (Adds details on quarter, analyst comments on spectrum, updates shares)
Feb 21 (Reuters) - Dish Network Corp on Wednesday said its online streaming service Sling TV added 160,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter, disclosing numbers for the first time and providing an overall figure of 2.21 million.
Dish has been losing customers for its legacy pay-TV service for nearly a decade as people move away from satellite TV packages to online streaming services such as Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc's Prime Video.
The total subscribers for Sling pales in comparison with Netflix's about 118 million worldwide or Amazon Prime Video's 40 million, but they have been accumulated from scratch in just two years at a time when other cable TV providers are struggling.
Dish had 14 million subscribers in January 2015 before it launched the initiative, which started $20 per-month Sling TV subscriptions with a slim bundle of channels to target younger consumers avoiding pricey cable and satellite subscriptions.
However, its loss of another 121,000 subscribers for Dish TV in the quarter meant revenue from its total 13.24 million users of both services fell.
Jefferies analyst Scott Goldman said Dish's average revenue per user of $84.63 was below his estimate of $85.71 and Wall Street estimate of $86.10.
New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin said the results were "not great," but that the primary value of the satellite business is to provide cash flow while Chairman Charlie Ergen seeks to monetize the rights it has accumulated to radio frequencies.
Dish has spent billions buying up wireless airwaves, or spectrum, in recent years, making it a potential acquisition target for U.S. wireless carriers.
The company faces a Federal Communications Commission deadline to use the spectrum by 2021 to build its first wireless network.
"We continue to believe the most obvious buyer is (telecoms company) Verizon, as they have by far the least amount of spectrum per subscriber among the U.S. carriers, and by far the most value to lose from network congestion and a rise in churn," Chaplin said.
Dish's revenue fell 7.2 percent to $3.48 billion, missing analysts' average estimate of $3.53 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company added about 39,000 pay-TV subscriber on a net basis in the quarter, including 75,000 reactivations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that were removed after Hurricane Maria.
Net income rose to $1.39 billion from $355 million a year earlier, due to a $1.2 billion benefit related to U.S. tax law reforms.
Excluding that and other one-time items, Dish earned 57 cents per share, topping analysts' estimates by 2 cents.
The company's shares were down 2.2 percent at $43.53 midday. (Reporting by Sonam Rai in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza)

The Orchestra & Choir in the balcony, Stephan Casurella, Conducting
C.K. Wang, photo
A 30-piece orchestra accompanies The Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival. These professional musicians are from throughout the greater Cincinnati area and beyond. Many have participated in the Boar's Head Orchestra for years – some more than 30.
There are parts of the Boar's Head Festival that Music Director Stephan Casurella has never seen. From his position in the balcony, his eyes are mainly directed towards the orchestra, choir, and the monitor for organist Shiloh Roby who's seated at the organ console behind the evergreens on the stage.
There is a lot of running up and down stairs to the balcony. The trumpeter who introduces the performance outside the nave then runs up to the balcony to play his part in the Boar's Head Carol. Until he gets there, another trumpeter covers his part for him.
All the soloists who are also kings, shepherds, and waits sing in the choir, as well as taking part in the processions around the nave. So up and down they go, crawling over other choristers and all the lighting equipment in the balcony.
There's even some fancy footwork at the end, a quiet and solemn moment for the audience as the sprite leaves the darkened church with his candle. Simultaneously, chorister David Thompson, who also plays King Wenceslas, starts a CD recording of chimes to be played over the loudspeaker. Another chorister runs down to the lower level under the chapel and initiates the mechanism that causes the bells in the cathedral tower to play. The result is a sense that the bells in the tower can be heard in the nave. (They can't.)
Through it all, Shiloh Roby's playing is the musical thread that stitches the performance together.
Shiloh is a master at improvisation. Not only does he perform his own ideas of the regal music appropriate for the procession, he weaves in familiar tunes, appreciated by the musically sophisticated listener. This year listen for "What a Small Party This Is " and "Putting on the Ritz". Another year "Hail, Britannia" was woven into his playing.
Behind Boar's Head forest set is Organist Shiloh Roby's solo spot

Last Christmas Shiloh was given a stuffed squirrel for his dog. Instead he brought it in to keep him company in his solo spot behind the evergreens – where his only visual connection with the festival is a small TV monitor connected to a camera that is focused on Stephan, who cues Shiloh at key points during the performance. Stephan's attire is a white shirt and bright tie rather than something more formal. Otherwise Shiloh can't see him through the monitor.
When the quartet of waits are singing in the front, out of earshot, Stephan lip reads to know when to bring in the chorus. And at the very end when everyone sings "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", Stephan has to let Shiloh know if he needs to slow the tempo of the last verse so the procession will get out on time.
Stephan says "The whole experience brings serious musicians together in a festive way that celebrates the ending of the holiday season."

Daily Telegraph apologises to Musharraf for using abusive languageDecember 14th, 2007 - 4:07 pm ICT by admin
Islamabad, Dec 14 (ANI): Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Telegraph, William Lewis, has tendered an apology to President Pervez Musharraf for using offensive language against him in an editorial published by the newspaper on November 9.
In a letter to Musharraf, he said, "I am writing to express our regret over any misunderstanding that may have been caused by the language used in our recent comments on Pakistan politics."
"It was never our intention to cause offence to you and your family," officials quoted the letter, as saying.
Sources said that the apology tendered by the Daily Telegraph was unsolicited.
Earlier, Musharraf had said that he expected the Daily Telegraph newspaper to apologise over an editorial which contained an expletive.
He was speaking a day after his government ordered three Daily Telegraph reporters, including its regular Islamabad correspondent, to leave the country within 72 hours because of the "foul and abusive language.
Musharraf responded angrily when questioned about the expulsions at a news conference.
"Would you accept a word of that sort if I was to use it, if any one of my reporters were to use (it) against your president?" he asked.
The editorial was sharply critical of the Wests relations with Musharraf, and used a quote containing the words sonofabitch to describe the key ally in the US-led "war on terror."
Musharraf said he was " really shocked" by the language used. (ANI)

If you are going to close a street in L.A., you better have a good excuse or an effective strategy to mollify enraged drivers. One group's answer? Polka dots.
Griffith Park Boulevard between Sunset Boulevard, Maltman Avenue and Edgecliffe Drive closed Sunday, The Eastsider LA reports, and it will remain closed for at least a year. Streets for People (what the kids are calling S4P) plans to transform the area, which is already home to two farmers' markets, into a pedestrian plaza complete with planter boxes, green umbrellas and, yes, polka dots.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The park was designed by Los Angeles-based Rios Clemente Hale Studios, whose past work includes everything from the cups at Intelligentsia to the LAC+USC Medical Center.
According to S4P, the idea for Sunset Triangle Park, as the plaza will be known, originated in Silver Lake back in 2006.
City councilman and mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti says the project serves two goals: "Angelenos want safer and more welcoming streets for walking, jogging, and bicycling. And we also seek public spaces where communities can come together for family and neighborhood activities."
S4P will be feting the new polka-dotted parklet Sunday, March 4, from 11 am to 2 pm.

Tips on Auditioning
- First and foremost, we want you to succeed. Nothing gets us more excited than discovering a talented young artist that would fit in with the Company and its philosophy. Plus we're nice & friendly – really.
- New and contemporary works comprise the bulk of what we produce here at Actors and your audition monologues should reflect that. For your main audition package, we prefer that you audition with material written in the past 15 years. It should also be close to your own age and experience.
- Choose material that you feel a connection to – tell us something about who you are with your choice of material. Let it showcase who you are – socially, politically, humanistically. Perform something that you love, rather than trying to figure out what you think we'll like.
- 'Two contrasting pieces' doesn't mean one that's funny and one that's serious. Show us two pieces that contrast in rhythm and tone. Or show us that you can do both grounded work and work that's a little more presentational. Be sure you can answer the question – 'what are the differences between these two people that I'm portraying?'
- A note on dress – wear what makes you feel physically confident. Think casual professional or what you'd wear on a first date.
- Most of all, just be yourself.
Monologues We'd Rather Not See
We've seen thousands of auditions for this program (20,000 over the last ten years, no kidding). So there types of monologues and monologues from specific plays that we've seen dozens or hundreds of times. It's not that they're not good monologues, or that they don't serve a purpose in the larger play, or that you couldn't do a good job with them. It's just that we'd really rather not see them again.
*Anything that tells a story or recounts a memory
*Any monologue that's just a rant or a speech to a large group of people
*Any monologue that just explains a philosophy or point of view
*Any monologue where you play a non-human character
*Any monologue related to theatre or the business of acting

Attention Deficit / Attention Hyperactivity Disorder
ADD / ADHD are considered a medical or clinical diagnosis. Students requesting academic adjustments on the basis of Attention Deficit or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders must provide documentation by a professional trained in the assessment of ADD / ADHD and has relevant experience in different diagnosis and the full range of psychiatric disorder in adult learners. Recommended practitioners may include: psychologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, licensed clinical or educational psychologists, and other appropriately trained medical doctors.
Documentation for students requesting adjustments on the basis of particular disability must include:
- Evidence of early impairment – The condition must have been exhibited in childhood in more than one setting.
- Evidence of current impairment – A history of the individual's current attentional symptoms and the evidence of current impulsive/hyperactive or inattentive behaviors that significantly impair functioning in two or more settings must be provided.
- An interview – The interview must contain self-report and third-party information pertaining to any significant developmental history; family history of ADHD or other educational, learning, physical or psychological difficulties; related medical and medication history; a thorough academic history; and a review of prior psychoeducational test reports to determine whether a pattern of strengths or weaknesses is supportive of inattention and learning problems.
- Description of relevant employment history (if applicable).
- Description of current functional limitations in an educational setting that is presumably a direct result of problems with attention.
- Evidence that other diagnosis of explanations being ruled out. The documentation must investigate and discuss the possibility of dual diagnoses and alternative or coexisting mood, behavioral, neurological and/or personality disorders that may confuse the ADHD diagnosis.
- An examination of the neuropsychological or psychoeducational assessments administered to determine the current impact of the disorder on the individual's ability to function in an academic setting. Such data should include standard scores, standard deviations, and percentiles report in table format for those sub-tests administered.
- A specific psychiatric diagnosis as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (DSM-IV) of the American Psychiatric Association (1994). Symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsivity which were present in childhood and the current symptoms which have been present for at least the past six months and which impair functioning in two or more settings (e.g., school, work, home) must also be identified.
- An indication of whether or not the student was evaluated while on medication, and whether or not the prescribed treatment produced a positive response.
- Prescribed medication, dosages and schedules, which may influence the types of adjustments provided, including any possible side effects.
- An interpretative summary which:
- Indicates the substantial limitations to major life activities posed by the disability,
- Indication of how patterns of inattentiveness, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity across the lifespan and across settings are used to determine the presence of ADD/ADHD,
- Describes the extent to which adjustments are being requested,
- Suggests how the specific effects of the disability may be accommodated,

Further assessment by an appropriate professional may be required if co-existing learning disabilities or other conditions are indicated. The student and the disability support staff at the University will collaborate to determine appropriate accommodations or adjustments. The diagnostic report must include specific recommendations for accommodations or modifications that are realistic and that post-secondary institutions can reasonably provide. A detailed explanation as to why each adjustment is recommended must be provided and should be correlated with specific functional limitations determined through interview, observation and/or testing. Although prior documentation may have been useful in determining services in the past, current documentation must validate the need for services on the individual's present level of function in the educational setting.

The Dragonfly From Jonny Quest - Pre Built
The Dragonfly is Dr. Quest's personal and probably supersonic jet. It contains a cargo bay capable of holding motor vehicles, a recreational area and media center, and a cockpit with four seats. In addition to regular landing gear, it contained skis for snowy terrain. Debuting in the classic series, it did not appear in season one, but was later resurrected by Lance Falk for the second season. Falk personally confirmed with Quest creator Doug Wildey the 'Dragonfly' name. Falk destroyed it in General Winter, where General Vostok's freeze bomb caused a rough landing and a fall over a cliff.

Your move is coming up soon, and you know that there will be things you need to pay for, but have you accounted for ALL of the costs you will likely incur when moving? It can certainly help if you do so in advance.
Costs before the move
Before the move, obviously you will need to sell your current house. Even though you will likely make money off of the sell, you might have to spend a little of what you make. Keep in mind you will likely have fees associated with selling your house that you need to consider.
Once your home is sold, you need a great new place to live. You can certainly consider a flat or a new home, but in either case, you'll need some type of deposit. It can range anywhere from a few hundred pounds to the cost of a full month's rent. This money has to be paid before you can take possession of the property.
After you've secured the perfect place to live, it's time to think about the right removal team. We'll always help you understand exactly what to expect from us in terms of costs. They can vary depending on the size of your current home and how much you need to have moved. Before we schedule you, we'll offer you a complete estimate of costs and a great moving timeline so you know what to tackle when.
Costs During the Move
The time to start packing is almost immediately! A moving binder along with dividers is essential to organization, so make sure you purchase that first. Then, you will need to have room in your moving budget for a lot of boxes. Boxes are sold in various sizes and the cost varies according to the size you need.
You will also need to purchase packing paper, lots of packing paper for your fragile items that you don't want to get broken during the move. Of course, you can't forget the tape. Packing tape is essential and vital when it comes to closing up your boxes. This is not something you want to skimp out on. In fact, you will want to have a lot of it on hand during your move. You may also want to consider coloured tape to put on the boxes along with the packing tape. Of course you will not need to budget for as much of the colored tape, but if you buy various colors and assign a color to each room in your house, just place a strip on each box where it is visible from all angles, and it will save you tons of heartache when you get to your new home or flat.
In addition to the natural costs associated with boxes and tape, think about disposable plates and silverware for those few final meals in your current home and those in your new place. You may also spend a few meals eating takeaway, so add that to your budget as well. If you have small children, you may want to add in the cost of snacks and drinks in single serve packaging.
Costs After the Move:
When you leave your old home, you will want to make sure that you leave it cleaner than when you first took possession, whether you were renting or selling it. You may choose to handle that cleaning on your own, but you may also want to hire a service that handles end of tenancy cleaning. As a result, adding a bit of room in your budget to handle cleaning expenses is a must. Keep in mind that when you move into your new home or flat, the people before you might not have been as kind and there may be things you must clean before you start unpacking, so it may be a good idea to keep a bit of extra cash on hand to have the new space cleaned as well.
Don't forget to consider any new decorating expenses. You may want to have a fresh coat of paint on the walls in a few or all of the rooms. Therefore, you need to make sure you have priced the paint that you want and have enough money to purchase them and have them on hand so that you can paint right when you move in, before unpacking and before arranging your furniture.
Moving is sometimes necessary, but it is not always cheap. So, make sure that you have taken into account all of the costs you will incur before, during and after the move so that nothing takes you by surprise and you can then have a stress-free and smooth move into your new space.

MTN Group may reportedly be investigated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) because it didn't properly tell the market that it was facing a $5.2 billion fine in Nigeria.
News of the fine has pummeled MTN's shares, which fell for a second day on Tuesday, easing 4.2 percent to R159.98. That extended their losses to nearly 16 percent over the two days, wiping about R50 billion from MTN's market value.
Stephen Grootes spoke to Tech Central's Duncan MacLeod about the prospect of MTN Group's operations in Nigeria.

A family's dog died and a home was destroyed on North 28th Street after a space heater caused nearby objects to catch fire Sunday morning, the Baton Rouge Fire Department reported.
Firefighters arrived at 1024 N. 28th St. to find heavy smoke billowing from the home, as the fire spread from a bedroom to an attic by 10:30 a.m., said Curt Monte, a BRFD spokesman. Just over an hour later, two residents inside escaped unhurt and firefighters had put out the blaze — but a dog had perished inside, Monte said.
The home, originally valued at $50,000, was considered a total loss, Monte added. Red Cross arrived to assist the residents.
Space heaters should stay three feet away from anything that could burn, and should not be turned on while children or pets are nearby, Monte said.

I've decided to model the Balrog from scratch again. Instead of creating the base mesh inside of Maya though, I opted to us Zspheres and ZSketching instead. That proved to be a much faster way to do things. After doing all of that fun stuff, I sculpted it to get myself a rough form that I could use to retopo. I ended up doing the retopology within 3D Coat and decided to sculpt the wings as a separate mesh. I think it'll be easier that way and to do a final retopo once everything is finished.

The body of Jimmy Malfetti, 41, was found inside a rented guest house on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands back in January 2014. He had been stabbed to death during an apparent robbery.
Mekel Blash, 27, has been arrested in connection with the death. He has been charged with first-degree murder.
Malfetti's parents, Jim and Rosemary Malfetti, of Scotch Plains, originally feared local police were mishandling the investigation. The couple turned to the media and Sen. Robert Menendez in hope that the FBI would get involved.

Michelle Fairley, who played Caitlin Stark, said the following during an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
You couldn't have missed the online furor over the lack of Lady Stoneheart in the Thrones finale. Were you surprised by that attention?
I actually haven't seen any of that. I don't look that stuff up. I avoid it like the plague. I was totally unaware.
There was a lot of online conversation. I heard third-hand that you were basically told that it's not likely to ever happen. Is that accurate?
Yeah, the character's dead. She's dead.
Do you have a preference at all—do you think Catelyn's arc should end where it ended, or would you be into the resurrection idea?
You respect the writers' decision. I knew the arc, and that was it. They can't stick to the books 100 percent. It's impossible—they only have 10 hours per season. They have got to keep it dramatic and exciting, and extraneous stuff along the way gets lost in order to maintain the quality of brilliant show.

Arcos Dorados Holdings (NYSE: ARCO), the largest McDonald's franchisee in Latin America, embarked on its first full week of trading after raising more than $1.25 billion in its rousing initial public offering Thursday.
The stock was trading above $22 a share Monday afternoon after 73.5 million shares debuted at $17 a share with BofA Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Itua BBA and Citi leading the offering. The buzz was strong on this one considering the firm originally intended to sell just over 62 million shares at between $13 and $15 a share.
With 1,755 restaurants and exclusive rights in 19 countries and territories following its 2007 acquisition of McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) -- it's still the fast food and real estate giant's largest franchisee and will open at least 250 more stores in the next two years -- Arcos Dorados definitely doesn't appear to be a flash in the French fry fryer.
On Monday, Morningstar weighed in with a glowing appraisement of the head-and-shoulders leader among quick-service restaurants in the burgeoning Latin American market.
"Favorable personal income trends, a flight to urban centers, government-led infrastructure investments, and abundance of natural commodity resources are all conducive to increased consumer spending in Latin American markets, and we're confident that company growth will outpace broader restaurant industry trends," Morningstar analysts wrote in the firm's weekly consumer goods report. "Moreover, with the sizable international appeal of the McDonald's brand, we are optimistic that Arcos Dorados can extend its leading market position in the Latin American quick-service restaurant industry."
Since gobbling up McDonald's Latin operations almost four years ago, the company has opened more than 230 restaurants and 124 McCafe stores throughout the region at a time when total fast food sales in Latin America grew at a compounded annual growth rate of nearly 10% a year.
Moreover, Arcos Dorados' company-operated restaurants garnered roughly $2.2 million per location last year, on par with the McDonald's system average and more than twice the industry's $1 million average.
"Although the company has a limited operating history since acquiring McDonald's operations and real estate in Latin America in August 2007, it has posted solid profitability metrics over the past several years, including restaurant-level margins of 13.6% and adjusted EBITDA margins of 9.9% (excluding one-time and extraordinary items)," the report added.
According to Euromonitor, the Buenos Aires-based firm's accounts for about 12% of Latin American and Caribbean quick-service restaurant sales -- compared to just 3.7% from the next closest competitor, Burger King -- a leadership position Morningstar analysts believe "it is unlikely to cede."
"Based on favorable per capita statistics, regional demographic trends that weigh heavily toward young adults and children, and its favorable competitive position, we believe Arcos Dorados' stock warrants a premium valuation," the report concluded. "In particular, we believe Arcos Dorados' exposure to markets like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, and Mexico gives the company greater growth potential than most restaurant operators."

Took some pix from Dial Hill Road looking down on to the Middle of Clevedon. The 1.4 & 2 times tele-extender work well. No f stop increase like a 2 times add-on extender would cause, just a reduction in mega pixels. As the SLT 77V has 24+ MP's it merely reduces them to 12+ on the 2 times.
Isolating houses from as high as this point makes it hard to identify individual places. If I didn't know exactly what I had taken.
