She's a wife, a stepmother, a former ice skater, TV soap actress, and movie star, not to mention gracing the cover of Australian Vogue! Melissa George may well be the hardest working Australian actress in Hollywood, and it seems her career is just beginning.
The Beverly Hills hotel room in which 32-year old West Australian actress Melissa George finds herself, is far from her birth place. Yet she is completely unphased by where her life has landed her. Busy promoting her co-starring role as an Australian tourist being terrorized in the new thriller Turistas, George oozes confidence. Admitting that in this tough Hollywood business, she is competitive, she says that what drives her to succeed here is pure passion for what she does.
"I literally don't sleep, and my husband can vouch for that," says George as she describes her audition process for a role she is desperate to play. "I won't sleep for two weeks until I hear, because I live the part. When I read the script I want to go on that journey with that person and if I have to bury that character, so watch out! My agents told me the other night, you're a great girl but you're a little crazy."
Not so much crazy, George insists, but passionate "because I like acting, and I don't like anything else. I like the feeling of a camera, what lens you are on, visualizing how it's going to look, getting a performance then action and cut and really putting yourself on the line." George says her sense of competition comes from her days as a champion skater. "I won gold, and I'm second in the world for artistic skating, so I know what it is to have thirty people go out on the rink and be the best that you can."
The Perth-born George said she was drawn to acting because "I love the thrill, I love emoting and I love the family feeling of crews and telling stories with dialogue and acting and shots."
George says that she was something of a class clown, an attention seeker growing up in Australia. "I was a tom boy and would get into so much trouble to the point where my parents were called up to the school because the teacher was crying," George laughingly recalls. "I would laugh, the teacher would talk to me and I would be over there doing something else totally in my own little world. Then the boys would make jokes and I would be laughing on the ground, falling off my chair, then they'd send me outside and they'd stick my head up in the window and walk along and make all the boys and girls laugh. I guess I was a clown."
At the same time in which the beautiful actress is trying to make her mark on Hollywood, she is balancing a busy career with her marriage to Chilean director Claudio Dabed. They are both outsiders, so George says, theirs is a match made in heaven. "I'm from Perth and he's from Chile, so we fit in anywhere. My home is within myself so wherever I live I don't care."
They married when the actress was 21, and the reason for their successful marriage, she says, is "he wants me to be the best actress I can be. He reads a script and asks, where's it shooting. I say Brazil for three months and he says, what's the part, do you love it, is it going to stretch you as an actress. And I say, yes and he goes go do it baby. What my marriage has done when you marry the right person is they want to see you be the best person you can be but when you marry wrongly they want to put you down to make themselves feel better. I've married a man that actually wants me to be a great actress and puts that first." She says that she is desperate to have kids, but this workaholic "doesn't have time and that's the dilemma, between being a very caring maternal kind of woman and also loving acting. Hopefully the two really go together one of these days."
George's career is at full blast, and is more than happy to put motherhood on hold [though is a stepmother] while she focuses on her career. Audiences will first see her playing a bikini-clad Australian tourist fluent in Portuguese, in Turistas. Donning a fake tan and sexy bikini is not a bad way to make a living, and has no doubt as to why she took this on. "I was meeting with a very high powerful woman editor, I was shooting this article for Derailed coming out and I said to her, listen I want to ask you because you know movies and actors. I have this offer to do Turistas what do you think and she said, if you do, she said, for your life you need to do it, because we're making movies but you also have to live as a human being."
The first Hollywood film to shoot entirely on location in Brazil, the actress says that "going to Brazil for three months changed my life, made me a better actress, more resilient, tougher and it was a young role. Part of the attraction for me was that it was youthful, it was flamboyant and free which is how I am but I like to do these dramatic parts. I didn't want to be pigeon holed into an age group, so there are a lot of attractions about it and I also got to speak Portuguese, because I wanted to learn a language."
Melissa George, who achieved some success on the small screen as the villainous Lauren Reed in Alias, continues to assume a variety of projects. She may not be as famous as some of her peers, but she is getting there. "After all, I've barely lived in my house in Los Angeles I've been so busy."
George has completed work on four other projects, each showing off a different facet to the actress, beginning "with this amazing film WAZ with Stellan Skarsgard and it was probably one of the greatest acting experiences. I play a rookie cop, to Stellan's character and once again this amazing relationship between Stellan and I unfolds as we're going after a serial killer. I discover myself throughout this story and it's about altruism, almost like what happens in nature where a monkey for example go out in front of the wild and to protect three hundred monkeys in their clan and gets killed in order to save their gene pool. So it's about this story about how far will you go, how much pain will it take before you kill somebody you absolutely love and couldn't live without. It's also a serial killer story that is quite genius, really gritty, and we shot it on hand held, which was great."
George followed that with Music Within, which she describes as a "this gorgeous movie set in Vietnam about the Vietnam War in this story about Richard Pimentel. It's Michael Sheen and I set in the seventies and they age me from the seventies to the modern day."
George is currently in New Zealand, starring opposite Josh Hartnett in Thirty Days and Nights. That's been a five month shoot, and is a big film," she says. Based on the graphic novel, "It's set in Alaska with Josh and I playing sheriffs. We're divorcing and throughout the thirty days where there's no daylight, the vampires come to this Alaskan town where we reunite our love. And that's a really great piece because I'm working with one of the best film makers and I just feel lucky." George is also committed to the HBO telemovie In Treatment with Gabriel Burns and Dianne Wiest "which is an acting job. It's two people like this talking, I'm a patient, and he's my psychologist." That takes the busy actress to year's end.
George will be spending Xmas with her husband in Argentina, and as busy as she is, has no time to feel homesick. "I see my family all the time," she says. And with her slight American twang in toe, it doesn't seem that she fells especially Australian these days. "Oh look when I get to Perth it brings back memories of this is where I was born and this is where I lived. I moved to Sydney when I was sixteen and that really sort of changed my mentality of where I was from in Perth to Sydney and now Sydney to America. I feel like I'm more cultured, and more part of the world more so than Australia. But when I go back to Australia I've definitely Australian, in that my accent comes back so strong and my relaxed ways come back full strength. "
The perception about the actress, wife and mother, is that she has the perfect life, but she says, professionally at least, she has a long way to go. "I haven't worked with the directors yet that I want to, I've still got a lot left in me and I think it's not perfect, but then nothing is. I don't spend time in my home, I can't ever have a home since I'm always travelling which is wonderful but that's the downfall. Sometimes I just want just to sit back."
But clearly, the way things are going, her sitting back is a long way off.

The Luxton laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by repetitive muscle contractions that result in involuntary twisting of the extremities and abnormal posturing. People afflicted with dystonia can experience severe disruptions in their ability to perform routine tasks including walking and sitting. Dystonia is the third most common human movement disorder behind essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. Despite its prevalence, we understand little about dystonia pathogenesis. The most common and severe form of inherited dystonia is early-onset or DYT1 dystonia. The symptoms of DYT1 dystonia first appear at a mean age of 12.5. DYT1 dystonia is caused by a mutation within the DYT1/Tor1a gene that encodes the evolutionarily conserved torsinA protein resulting in the deletion of a single glutamic acid residue (ΔE302/303, or ΔE). The mechanism through which the ΔE mutation causes DYT1 dystonia is unclear because the basic cellular function of torsinA is unknown. Our research has established torsinA as key regulator of nuclear-cytoskeletal coupling. We study the molecular mechanism of torsinA-dependent nuclear-cytoskeletal coupling using three powerful model systems: wounded fibroblast monolayers, the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, and the Caenorhabditis elegans germline. Our research is holistic as we use biochemical, biophysical, cell biological, molecular genetic, and quantitative imaging approaches. Finally, we are actively screening for small molecules that modulate torsinA function in order to develop novel treatments for DYT1 dystonia.

Probably the simplest recipe I've ever made in my life. And the most satisfying too.
Four ingredients, minimal fuss, maximum deliciousness.
I was mooching around on Pinterest yesterday morning whilst enjoying my lazy bank holiday lay-in when I came across lots of images for peanut-butter related recipes. It got me thinking…(and craving) my favourite Reese's cups and I wondered if I'd be able to recreate my own version.
These gluten free and vegan cups are perfect for whipping up at the last minute. Whether you have friends coming over or if you have a major chocolate/peanut combo craving and need to fix it. They're totally rich, indulgent and 'definutly' only for the real peanut lovers amongst us.
Use the best chocolate you can find, the most natural additive free peanut butter, and whilst I used mixed nuts, any would work. Don't forget the salt too, it balances out the richness of the chocolate and peanuts.
For 12 cups:
1. Over a bain-marie (pan of hot water with heat-proof bowl on top), on medium heat, melt your chocolate and peanut butter until smooth and combined (Melting in the microwave will also be fine, do this in 20 second blasts)
2. Whilst melting, line a 12-hole bun-tray with cupcake cases
3. Rough chop your nuts
4. Add the nuts to the melted mixture saving some to sprinkle on top
5. Spoon in the cases, I used around 2 tablespoons per cup and add the leftover nuts. Permission granted to lick the spoon too… I won't tell 😉
6. Along with a very light sprinkling of salt
7. Freeze for around 1 hour until firm, peel from the cases and enjoy.
The cups will keep really well in the fridge for 3-4 days (if you can resist for that long) and they're also perfect for freezing and stashing for another day.

I stood anxiously with the others. We all waited, silently, many staring down at bright little screens, to board the long elevator down to the metro. None of us looked at each other, and the man with the sign didn't look at us either. He didn't call out, forcing us to acknowledge his existence, pushing us to feel the discomfort of witnessing suffering. He simply sat in his wheelchair outside the elevator with a smile on his face and a cardboard sign in his lap—something about an injury, something about needing help, something about God bless you.
We all boarded the elevator, packed like sardines, yet somehow still unaware of each other's pulses. I let out a deep breath, and I tried to ignore the twinge in my chest thinking about the man with the sign. I thought about the man from five years ago who didn't have a sign…

Notwithstanding collapsing treadmills can take up a lot of room, particularly while they are being utilized.

If I had to use a single word to describe Mockingjay: Part One, it would be tense.
The opening of the film takes us to the aftermath of District 13's destruction. Katniss has been directly shipped from the games to the underground base where President Coin (Julianne Moore) and Head Gamemaker/rebel commander Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman; R.I.P) recruit her to be the face of the new rebellion. She agrees - on the condition that Coin will pull Peeta and the other tributes out of the Capitol at the earliest opportunity. The remainder of the film revolves around Katniss's role as "The Mockingjay," tracing the impact she spurs in the other districts and in the Capitol.
So, why tense? Humour is offered to us in sparse doses throughout the film. (The Hunger Games movies are not, after all, comedies.) We laugh when Katniss requests that Prim can keep her cat, chortle when the ever-fashionable Effie Trinket complains about having to wear a bland, grey jumpsuit, and smile as we watch Katniss tease her cat with a flashlight.
So, the film does not thrust us into complete darkness. Yet most of Mockingjay: Part One is destruction and dread. Death swamps Katniss as she witnesses the wreckage of District 13 with her own eyes, seeing her home reduced to rubble. We watch her go through anguish as the threat of losing "them both" - Gale and Peeta - becomes increasingly likely towards the end of the film. It's a tense and heavy first half of a movie to watch.
While Mockingjay: Part One concludes with Coin keeping her word, Peeta's return is not quite what Katniss had imagined. We barely get a look at his gaunt, bruised face before he lunges for Katniss's throat and begins what becomes the most chilling scene of the entire film. What more proof is needed of the Capitol's torture tactics once you see how it turns the antithesis of monstrosity - Peeta Mellark - into a monster?
While that remains the most terrifying part of the film, its best scene is, without a doubt, the singing scene. "You want me to sing?" Katniss asks - and off she goes, delivering a rendition of The Hanging Tree that soon morphs into a full-blown choir of rebels who storm the Capitol's dams in a suicide mission to wipe out its electricity; this is how a revolution kicks off! The political roots of the film run deep. Troops keep to their formations in the navy-blue rain, echoing Nazi rigidity and channeling dictatorship vibes. They remind us that the Capitol is unrelenting and headed by the cold and merciless President Snow.
So, the film owes its appeal to its daring themes - but also its characters. Again, Gale emerges as the loyal and stubborn best friend (emphasis on stubborn and friend), Haymitch makes welcome cameos (the sober life does not suit him), doe-eyed Sam Claflin sheds light on the exploits of the Capitol, but of course it is Katniss - or should I say Jennifer Lawrence - who completely robs the spotlight. Katniss is the face of the rebellion just as JLaw is the face of the movie. And, why not? She and Katniss are both bold and unafraid to speak up. (I just wish Katniss wouldn't be so self-effacing.)
Mockingjay: Part One was tense - but it has set the stage for its next half, which I wait for with anticipation.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic helps our patients from around San Jose, Palo Alto, and Campbell reduce wrinkles without the time or expense of surgery. This FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment is made from a purified protein and works by relaxing the muscles that contract to cause certain types of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eye area.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman has many years of experience working with BOTOX Cosmetic and knows how to make the most of this treatment. To get started, request your consultationrequest your consultation online or call us at (650) 325-1118 (Palo Alto) or (408) 371-1118 (Campbell) to schedule an appointment.
View Before & After Photos
The Procedure
Patients who travel to Dr. Hoffman's Palo Alto or San Jose-area locations can have their BOTOX treatments performed right in his office. Dr. Hoffman and the other experienced members of our team are very knowledgeable about the tiny facial muscles that BOTOX targets, enabling us to customize treatments based on patients' needs.
We inject BOTOX in areas where wrinkles are caused by the countless facial expressions we make day after day. As we age, those "dynamic wrinkles" begin to linger even when our faces relax. Some of the most common dynamic wrinkles we can treat include:
- The vertical "frown lines" between the eyebrows that are sometimes called the "11s"
- Horizontal forehead lines
- "Crow's feet" at the corners of the eyes
We inject BOTOX in precise locations where it will temporarily immobilize the tiny muscles that cause those lines. The number of injections depends on your cosmetic concerns. The treatment itself takes only a few minutes. No anesthetic is needed because Dr. Hoffman uses a very fine needle that results in only a slight sting similar to an insect bite.
Recovery and Results
One of the benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic is that you may resume your normal activities immediately after treatment, although you should keep your head elevated and avoid touching the treatment site for several hours. You may see some slight bruising, but this will be easily covered with makeup.
Wrinkle reduction will occur gradually over the next 5 to 7 days as the muscles causing the wrinkles begin to relax. Your facial muscles will continue to function normally, allowing a full range of natural facial expressions. Treatment results will usually last for 3 to 6 months. With continued regular treatments, your results can last longer and you may even be able to prevent some new wrinkles from forming.
To enhance the results of their BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, Dr. Hoffman's patients also choose chemical peels or dermal fillers. This treatment is also a preferred way to "touch up" facial cosmetic surgery results.
Some BOTOX patients need more comprehensive wrinkle treatment. If you have excess, sagging skin around your jaw and mouth, you may be a good candidate for a face lift. Dr. Hoffman's patients benefit from his years of experience and skill performing plastic surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
Good candidates for BOTOX treatments want to soften lines and wrinkles around the eyes and brow in a way that looks natural. These wrinkles can make people look worried or angry even when they do not feel that way. Men and women both benefit from BOTOX injections, as well as people from a range of ages. Younger patients often begin getting BOTOX treatments at the first sign of wrinkles, and some evidence has shown this can help stave off the development of deeper folds. BOTOX is also excellent for patients interested in a quick, convenient approach to rejuvenation, as opposed to surgery.
How safe is BOTOX Cosmetic?
The safety and reliability of BOTOX are well documented, particularly in the hands of an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Hoffman. BOTOX is approved by the FDA and has been used for many years to treat an array of conditions. In fact, one of the very first uses for botulinum toxin was as a treatment for eyelid spasms, or blepharospasm. Over time, doctors began to use the drug to treat other conditions caused by overactive muscles, including excessive sweating, crossed eyes, and certain neurological movement disorders. The same properties make BOTOX ideal for safely targeting the tiny facial muscles that cause wrinkles.
How is BOTOX different from fillers?
Although BOTOX and fillers are both injectable anti-aging treatments, they work in very different ways. Fillers use gels to literally fill in lines, wrinkles, and depressions to add volume and smooth the targeted area. BOTOX is a neurotoxin that works by preventing muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles. Some wrinkles are better suited to BOTOX than fillers, and vice versa, and Dr. Hoffman will help you understand which product is a better choice for you. BOTOX and fillers may also be administered in a single appointment for a more comprehensive improvement.
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Patients are often concerned about BOTOX treatments creating a "frozen" expression. But you can rest assured that Dr. Hoffman and his team members use a light hand when administering injections, taking care to gradually increase results for a "just right" look. Once your results have developed, you will enjoy a discreet improvement. Unless you tell them, your friends and family will not know you have had anything done - just that you look refreshed and revived.

Landlords have been reminded of the importance of choosing a regulated letting agents that adequately protects its customers after another local firm went out of business in Dorset.
Woodhouse Lettings in Wimborne recently closed its doors without warning shortly after another lettings agents in the town, Morgan Hampton, shut in January.
While it is not yet known whether either company adhered to a regulated Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme, ensuring landlords and tenants will not lose out financially as a result of their demise, many customers have been left without anybody managing their properties and collecting rents.
Tony Wilson, branch manager at Leaders in nearby Poole, says: "Wimborne and the surrounding area has lost several estate and letting agents in recent times, with various companies folding as a result of malpractice, financial negligence or incompetence.
"This leaves landlords and other customers not only in an extremely difficult situation as they lose their property management services with no warning, it can also result in them being thousands of pounds out of pocket.
"In more than 30 years in the industry, we at Leaders have seen far too many cases in which agents have closed without returning tenants' deposits, leaving the landlord liable for returning these funds."
Letting agents are not formally regulated by the government, meaning it is up to customers to ensure they pick a reputable and trustworthy business. A good start is to only work with a letting agents that is a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).
Many small, unregulated agents do not follow a CMP scheme, although plans to force all companies to sign up to one have recently been revealed – a proposal Leaders has welcomed.
Tony believes there are several signs for landlords to look out for as they aim to assess the credentials of a letting agents.
"You should consider how long a firm has been established and whether it has a good local reputation, if it has a team of experienced staff able to provide quality service and whether it is a member of ARLA and other bodies such as The Property Ombudsman and SAFEagent," he explains.
For more advice on finding the right letting agents contact Leaders in Poole or visit leaders.co.uk.

In the May 30 edition of the Tyler Morning Telegraph, sheriff's candidate Chris Green was quoted as follows: "Green said his campaign will 'regroup and restrategize' for a summer run. He said the campaign will 'counter a smear campaign' by 'right-wing' Smith County Republicans that came against his campaign in recent weeks." http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20120530/NEWS01/120539963/0/Search
In Sunday's newspaper (6/3/12), Chris Green slammed Grassroots America and called it a "fringe" political action committee. The following is an excerpt from the Sunday article: "Green said a 'smear campaign' was initiated by a local conservative political action committee, Grassroots America – We the People, and its executive board. The board endorsed (Larry) Smith and pointed out allegations Green allegedly levied against Smith via past forums and social media. JoAnn Fleming, the group's executive director, said its board vetted the allegations and proved them false. She said Green's allegations were part of a 'character assassination' campaign against Smith. She said the board weighed each candidate's resumes and became alarmed by accusations Green made against Smith during an interview the group conducted with candidates individually. Green called Grassroots America a 'fringe political action committee' that is acting on Smith's behalf." 'Voters can elect a politician with no leadership experience who's supported by a fringe special-interest PAC, or voters can elect Chris Green, a man with experience in both law enforcement and business who knows how to lead the county's largest law enforcement department,' Green said in the statement." http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20120603/NEWS01/306039966/0/Search
Today Grassroots America has received calls from credible sources warning that Green allegedly plans to hire people to launch a full-scale attack on Grassroots America – We the People and its volunteer Executive Director JoAnn Fleming.
Mrs. Fleming responded: "Well, if this alleged plan is true, and it is Mr. Green's strategy to win the runoff election, he is welcome to spend time, money, and energy attacking a local group of constitutional conservative citizens. I don't think the veterans, moms and dads, pastors, retired professionals, teachers, attorneys, business owners, farmers, ranchers, and liberty-loving folks who make up Grassroots America are going to react very well to such an attack, but we will meet an attack on our organization head-on. After 20 years of serving as a volunteer in this community on more than 20 local government committees and task forces and serving as an elected official, I am used to personal attacks and expect them, but I will not stand silently by and have this wonderful group of dedicated, liberty-loving patriots assaulted. Our attorneys have been notified, and we have the evidence to back up everything we have on our website regarding Mr. Green's allegations against sheriff's candidate Larry Smith. The proof is Mr. Green's own words, which are documented in writing and on video."
We ask our members and supporters to pray for Mr. Green, for candidate Larry Smith, and for our organization. Grassroots America will not back down from its mission. We will not surrender. We will not retreat when trouble appears on the horizon.
Grassroots America – We the People, leading the Constitutional Conservative revolution to save the country we love!
We are devoted to our nation's Judeo-Christian heritage,
constitutionally limited government,
fiscal restraint, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and US Sovereignty.
We are the ardent defenders of life, liberty,

With all of the hoopla around Kim Kardashian and Kanye's choice in naming their daughter, North West, and now the swirling opinions around the recently released Royal baby's name (George Alexander Louis, for those that missed the announcement), us YUMs couldn't help but recall the drama surrounding our own baby naming processes.
Mary's Story:
It dawned upon me around the fifth month of pregnancy with my daughter. I had some more common names, such as Sabrina, in mind up until that point. However, while in conversation with a friend about some other people who had come up with their children's names by combining their own names (yes, I was gossiping!), I jokingly started combining my name with my daughter's father's name (Bryan), just for the heck of it. Well, one combination stuck out. Briari (prononunced Bree- are – ee). I was the only one that liked it…at first. However, it eventually grew on the family. Over the past decade I have gotten countless accolades on such an unusual name from the pediatrician's office receptionist to school staff, – and it seems to suit Bri, as she is affectionately called, just fine. The middle name was a no-brainer – Michelina, after my beloved grandmother who had yet to have a namesake.
Fast forward seven years later and naming my soon to be born son was quite an undertaking. My husband and I had quite a few prerequisites – we wanted a name rooted in Latin but pronounceable for non-Spanish or Italian speakers, and it needed to be a little out of the ordinary in order to blend well with big sister Briari's name. My husband wanted a name that began with the letter "A" to match the initial of our last name – I thought that this was a bit trivial but I was willing to entertain the notion. We knew that the middle name was going to be Corrado, after my father, particularly since my father had longed for a boy in the family since he was blessed with my feminine presence. Several names were kicked around: Alejandro, Alexander, Evan, Maxwell, Enzo…but none of them felt quite right.
Two days before I gave birth, my husband sent me an e-mail with the name "Alonso" in the subject line. Well, it fit the criteria, and I looked it up and saw that it had multiple meanings:
1) "prompt" – well, this had significance because anyone that knows me is aware that I am very far from prompt. My lateness actually annoys my husband to no end!
2)"ready for battle" – throughout my pregnancy, I was definitely ready for battle. In fact, everyone in my inner circle knew to stay out of my way!
3) "noble" – well, that's a great quality to have. Who wouldn't want their kid to be noble?
So, the name checked out in meaning, but we figured that we would wait until we laid eyes upon our bundle of joy before making the final decision. Once he made his grand entrance into the world and peered up at us, we knew that we had our little Alonso. A lot of friends and family members were shocked, as they weren't even aware that the name was a consideration. However, they got accustomed to it and two years later he goes by the nickname that his big sister coined for him: "Meepo" (don't ask how that came about).
Carolina's Story:
Since before I had my daughter, I'd always thought my firstborn was going to be a girl. "Don't you want the boy first?" friends would ask, as only young teenage girls dreaming of like 10 to 15 years from then. "No, not really," I replied, with the certainty that it would be a beautiful girl first.
Because of that, I had names like Venus and Desiree picked out. I don't remember what was my exact reasoning for it, just that these sounded powerful enough.
Fast forward a few years later, much to my surprise, and I'm told we're having that beautiful girl after all. It was then I noticed those names just didn't fit. Although I hadn't met my little girl, those names that once sounded so powerful just didn't feel right.
So we did what most parents do and went straight to family sources for inspiration, and even the way-too-popular name books, to start our search.
What's a powerful, unique name with Latin roots that family won't mess up? Believe me, that was our true test: whether our parents could properly pronounce our child's name. Otherwise, we'll end up with random nicknames and variation of her name that'll be another battle altogether. Just take her father's first name suggestion—Mahogany, which his mother could barely utter. That was definitely crossed off the list.
After days of searching l, we came across "Liana" in one our handful of name books. It meant to climb and youth in some origins, which when you meet our daughter now, suits her too perfectly.
Only thing was, the way the name was spelled alone felt too simple and lacking the pizzaz I knew our little one possessed. I then started experimenting and added a "y" so she could write it beautifully when signing it in script, and another "n" to add more oomph to the ending.
It looked and sounded perfect. Her father loved it, our family did as well, and so it was decided this will be her name. When she was born, her face and energy just felt right with the name.
Now, almost twelve years later, we're face with the daunting name task again for our son. If only naming our him would be so easy. We're in the third trimester and still circling names. I'm thinking this is how Kim and Kanye must have felt, and seeing as how their North arrived early, doesn't help in the thinking process.
For us, there have been a few top name choices that feel like him, but I don't know. I think like Kimye we're going to have to meet him to really see. Maybe we can compliment baby North by adding another cardinal sign to the mix—West has a nice ring to it, no?
Bottom line here: back off! At the end of the day, the parents are the only ones that have to approve of the name that they picked for their little one.
Please share your baby names and how you selected them in the comments below!

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release date: February 28th, 2012
Genres: Sci-fi, Dystopian, YA
Pages: 329
Source: Bought it
I'm pushing aside
the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana
and my old school,
push,like Raven taught me to do.The old life is dead.But the old Lena is dead too.I buried her.I left her beyond a fence,behind a wall of smoke and flame.Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
I read Delirium a couple years ago and really loved it. I picked up Pandemonium a while ago, started it, got bored of it, and dropped it. This summer, I decided to pick it up again and give it another shot.
What I Liked
What I Liked
Lena kicked ass! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by her being a kick-ass heroine being able to fight for herself deftly. She used her brains adeptly as well with clever thinking to get herself out of tricky situations. She definitely developed a lot as a character, from being a naive product of her society to being fierce and independent.
I never thought I could see Lena with another guy after how cute she and Alex were together, but when Julian came into the picture, I really liked the idea of Lena getting together with him. I love star-crossed lovers, and Lena + Julian was no exception. I loved how they started out as enemies, then grew to trust each other. I swooned when he shared things about himself and his childhood with her. I felt like their romance was really smooth and really rooted for them to fall for each other. I especially liked how Lena ended up saving him. They're too cute together and I ship them so hard!
I found her dynamic with the leader of her "Wild" gang, Raven, to be pretty interesting. Raven is very hardened and fiercely independent, and she really influenced Lena to be "stronger", yet they also brushed against each other the wrong way over their ideological differences over the revolution. I found that to be an intriguing relationship.
I loved Lauren Oliver's writing style. Her descriptive language is impeccable and her at times poetic style is so beautiful. The narrative voice of Lena was pretty enthralling.
What I Didn't Like
Lena's attitude towards Julian at first. It was so unnecessarily rude and hostile to me. I didn't get her animosity towards him. It kind of made me want to shake her a little and I found it really annoying.
Some parts of the book really dragged on and were quite uninteresting, particularly earlier on during the Then parts. It got better when the Then parts got shorter, though.
I sometimes didn't like Raven because of how emotionless she seemed to be. I gradually got to understand why her character was so hardened, though. She was a good leader, yet highly flawed. Her strength derived from stamping down feelings of care about others, which, although wise in their situation, I didn't like.
The Twist
I did not see that coming. The revelation was really infuriating to me, yet somehow ingenious. It was actually a brilliant twist, no matter how maddening it was.
The Ending
Lauren Oliver really gave us readers the illusion of a happy ending. I felt so elated that Lena and Julian could be happy and free together. It was so intensely disrupted by the return of a very important person from Lena's past, who she'd spent much of the book pining for. I'm kind of sad that Lena and Julian didn't get much time together to be a blissful couple, but still ecstatic to read what happens next with Lena juggling two people she's grown to care about dearly.

The Air Force flew hundreds of doctors to Florida and the Air National Guard dispatched drones to help with relief efforts, Oriana Pawlyk reports at Military.com.
2. Marine Colonel Sentenced to 5 1/2 Years For Molesting Child
Via Hope Hodge Seck at Military.com: "A decorated Marine colonel was sentenced to 5-1/2 years behind bars after being found guilty of sexually abusing a six-year-old girl, a military jury of colonels and generals determined Sunday. Col. Daniel Wilson, 56, was convicted of sexual abuse of a child for touching her genitalia, but found not guilty on counts of raping the child by penetrating her with his fingers and of sexually assaulting another adult woman on multiple occasions. Wilson was also found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman for a series of instances of crude behavior amid heavy alcohol consumption."
3. Pilot Killed in Classified Test Flight Was Combat Vet, Family Man
Via Oriana Pawlyk at Military.com: Lt. Col. Eric Schultz, 44, died from injuries sustained in an accident in which a classified type of aircraft crashed around 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Nevada Test and Training Range, located about 100 miles northwest of Nellis Air Force Base, according to a base spokesperson. Schultz was a U.S. Air Force combat veteran and test pilot with over 2,000 hours flying numerous aircraft, including the F-35 and CF-18, Canada's variant of the F/A-18 Hornet, and the F-15E, in which he flew more than 50 close air support missions in Afghanistan. A studious professional with six degrees, he and his wife had five children.
4. These Vets Climb a Mountain in Alaska to Honor Fallen Colleagues
Via Amy Bushatz at Military.com: "It's not that there aren't other mountain peaks to climb near Anchorage, Alaska. But for Army veteran Kirk Alkire, only one really matters: Mount POW/MIA. Part of the vast Chugach mountain range in southern Alaska, the ascent to the peak from nearby Eklutna Lake Road has no marked trail or trailhead, no trail maintenance and no parking area. Still, Alkire has made it his personal responsibility to ascend the mountain multiple times per year to keep fresh the POW/MIA and U.S. flags that stand at the mountain's gusty summit. He makes the climb in part to honor members of his former Army unit."
5. ICYMI: Last of World War II's Doolittle Tokyo Raiders Turns 102
Via Dan Sewell of Associated Press: "The last of the 80 Doolittle Tokyo Raiders of World War II celebrated his 102nd birthday on Thursday. Retired Lt. Col. Richard E. 'Dick' Cole has remained active, attending commemorative events in recent years including April ceremonies for the raid's 75th anniversary at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. 'I'm holding together,' Cole said Thursday by telephone, adding with a chuckle: 'The only thing is I need a lot of WD-40.' President Donald Trump called the Ohio native in July as Cole was recovering from a fall, to check on him and thank him for his service."

It's finally time to get out that dusty suitcase, start your packing list and get organised for your much anticipated, luxury, African safari experience. Let's face it, after your passport, the second most important item you will pack is your camera.
This will be the instrument with which you capture those rare "Big Five" sightings or exquisite crimson African sunsets and hold on to them forever. Making memories however is not as easy as it may seem so we have put together just a few tips to help you on your way.
How to plan your gear:
We know you are excited but before you have even left the house it is imperative to check that you have all of the below items. Together they will ensure the ultimate, fully functional, photographic toolkit.Camera: (that goes without saying!)
Any digital camera will do the trick but if you want to get world-class shots of world-class wildlife we would suggest a SLR camera.
In order to take worthy wildlife shots you will need a 300mm lens as a starting point. The higher you go the better for birds and smaller animals especially when shooting from afar. Best prize is to have at least two lenses.
Batteries: A minimum of two. Just in case you lose one!
Memory Cards: As many as you have (actually maybe buy one or two more especially if you like taking videos!) You can never have too many.
1 charger with an adapter (the correct one for the country you are visiting.)
Be sure to check plug configurations before you leave home and if you have the incorrect plugs you can usually buy an adapter at the airport.
Some kind of portable storage device, flash-disc, external drive or laptop.
Make sure your case is waterproof and durable.
Tripod: This is only if you are very keen photographer. If you are happy to lug it around, then it is useful to have.
Once you have everything charged, sorted and safely packed into its correct compartment in your camera bag you are good to go! If possible always carry your camera as hand luggage and keep it on you when arriving at your destination. You never know when you might want to start snapping away!
How to take world-class photos:
You have now arrived at your destination, the breath-taking African Wilderness surrounds you, the birds are chirping, the trees sway in the wind and you are overcome with a sense of peace, and the pulsating heart of nature.
Don't panic and don't rush to capture this all on film, you have plenty of time and what you are seeing and experiencing is not going anywhere. Take a breath…a moment and take it all in.
Now you can reach into your camera bag and pull out your old friend for the trip, I can assure you it will be in your hand day in and day out from now on!
Before you know it you will be on your first game drive, expertly engineered around the best times to take photos in the African bushveld – the early morning and late evening… so convenient!
To begin, have your camera set on automatic or the most appropriate setting for the current lighting. Your safari vehicle won't have more than 6 people in it so you will have plenty of time and space to stop and take photos. Remember you can ask the guide to stop at any time if something catches your eye. He will be more than happy to stop for you.
Don't get too worried out about all the bits and pieces…motion, anti-motion, functions, shutter speeds, zoom etc. Be patient and take lots of shots. Play. Stop and look at each picture after you have taken it and learn from your mistakes. Enjoy your camera and your environment at the same time.
Look through your viewfinder, don't just look at the image on the screen. Take time to focus and consider your composition carefully. Frame your subject but remember you don't always have to centre it. Take lots of pictures, you are living in the time of digital so go wild and you will get some beauties!
Don't put your camera away at sunset, this is when some of the best photos are taken. So why not try some silhouettes or some of the family having sundowners at the watering hole? On the night drive home, you could be in luck and spot a leopard on the prowl. Pop on your flash, focus on the eyes and you could nab one of Africa's most extraordinary sights. One you will most definitely have to share with your friends back home! Just be careful that it is not a diurnal animal as using flash photography in this instance is often frowned upon in safari circles.
Be it night or day, always be fully aware of your surroundings. Always know where you are and what and who is around you. Always be considerate and respectful of your subject, be it an animal or a human or your poor husband who has had enough of you clicking away.
When you get back to your lavish lodge, relax on the sumptuous bed and take a few minutes to sort, store and share your photos. Sort through them and delete any mistakes (photos of the floor or ones that make you look fat!) Remove them off your camera and store on an external drive. Share the day's top 10 with your friends and family back home using social media. If you #iconicafrica we will put together your very own memoir of your trip for you!
Last but not least. How to make the most of your holiday:
Know when to put your camera away and simply enjoy the experience. Savour the wonder that is the African wilderness and let the incredible sights, sounds and smells imprint on your heart… until you return.
Should you have any questions at all please contact us.

So the band called Friendly Fires, that made somewhat of a splash in the blogosphere last year, has come out with their first full length disc. When I first heard the super sexy (but not as sexy as me) song "Paris", and saw the ridiculously absurd video for "On Board", i thought that these guys might have something and i began to eagerly await something a little more substantial than an EP release. Well, I now have something a little more substantial, and what can I say? Well, all of the songs are cut from the same mold, however, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Friendly Fires craft fun songs. They're kind of like The Kooks or The Bravery, mixed with the inane flavors of MGMT. A disco-infused band that can be reminiscent of the Klaxons at times, only less serious. You might want to look ito acquiring their debut disc if you're really into their sound, which unfortunately is one we've all heard many, many times before.

I hardly think you will need an introduction to Tung Lok's food. But to further dive into my personal opinion of a most affordable Chinese A La Carte buffet in Singapore, I think it will have to go to Tung Lok Seafood at Orchard Central.
I previously heard about this place from my parents who went there previously and did they enjoy. With over 40 items on the menu including favourites like Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, Cereal Oats Prawns, Prawn Paste Chicken, Smoked Duck Meat, Porridge, Fish, Sliced Pork,Dim Sum, Porridge, Fried Rice to name a few.
And the previous weekend, I went back there again with my grandma and relatives. When it comes to food quality, most of the dishes are of decent quality and flavour. And they were quite close to what I would expect from a Tung Lok restaurant.
Clockwise : Fried Rice, Deep Fried Brinjal with Pork Floss, Homemade Tofu with Vegetables, Minced Pork and Century Egg Porridge
The menu is varied, though it would be a silent favourite for all those who love their food fried or deep fried. I noticed that they could do with some more soups, steamed food and vegetables as an addition to the list though. But that's just me.
I can quickly think that when entertaining big groups, this is probably one of the coolest concepts to have. Plenty of dishes and variety to go around, and a little something for everybody. But enough of the talking, let's leave it to pictures to describe the flavours of the food to you, and possibly whet your appetite further.
Awesome Starter – Deep Fried Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk
Prawn Paste Chicken
Smoked Duck Meat
Seafood Salad
Salmon Sashimi
Deep Fried Dumplings – Didn't really go for this one though. Skin was thick and oily.
Chilled Sliced Pork
For a table of 9 with 2 small children, this portion of crisp clear kai lan is huge.
Cream Puffs to end the buffet
Tung Lok Seafood at Orchard Central has both restaurant and private dining facilities. And the one thing I like about dining at Orchard Central is the use of wide glass windows to allow natural light to easily flow in, basking the restaurant in a cool warm ambience.
The buffet spread is a selection from their own a la carte menu, and I have to admit it is one buffet which is value for money if you think in terms of your guests, what you might have ordered from the a la carte menu. In this case of a buffet, everyone gets to have what they want. Still, the portion sizes are rather huge, so it might be advisable to go slow or request if its possible to reduce the portion sizes a little.Otherwise, you might be too stuffed to finish the 8th plate onward and counting even if you have a large party of guests.

"Research shows piano students are better equipped to comprehend mathematical and scientific concepts.
Second Graders were divided into three groups: one group received private piano lessons. A second group received private computer lessons. The third group received no training.
Those children who received piano lessons performed 34% higher on tests measuring spatial-temporal ability than the others-even those who received computer training.
"Spatial-temporal" is basically proportional reasoning-ratios, fractions, proportions and thinking in space and time. This concept has long been considered a major obstacle in the teaching of elementary math and science."

In Japan, 3D latte art is a thing. We've seen numerous examples. But 3D cocktail art? Do tell.
In the past few months, Tokyo bar Duke Capo has been getting more and more notice online in Japan for its adorable cocktail art, made from cream, chocolate sauce, and booze.
Courtesy of IT Media, you can see one of the cocktail artists at work:

The July 27 target date is the day the company is due to report second-quarter earnings and will speak to investors, the Wall Street Journal said.
"In a perfect world with no interruptions, it is possible to be ready to stop the well between July 20 and July 27," the head of BP's Gulf Coast restoration unit Bob Dudley told the newspaper.
However, Mr Dudley said this "perfect case" is threatened by the hurricane season and is "unlikely."
BP shares have fallen by half since its well blew out in April, spewing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico and soiling the shores of every US Gulf Coast state.
The Journal said BP was also preparing a series of backup plans in case its current operations go awry.
Citing company and administration officials, the paper said BP's plan include connecting the rogue well to existing pipelines in two nearby underwater gas and oil fields.
BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward met with an Abu Dhabi state investment fund on Wednesday, part of a quest for cash to ward off takeovers and help pay for the worst oil spill in US history.
BP's shares closed up nearly 4 per cent on the New York Stock Exchange, buoyed by investor relief the company had said it does not plan to issue new equity, and speculation the worst is behind for what they see as an underpriced energy giant.

It's always an honor to be invited to the White House. One of the perks of living here is that I do get to go for fun occasions sometimes! Yesterday I got to do a small media preview of the White House holiday decorations. All of the other times I've been in the White House, there are usually other tourists or it's a large group of people. This time there were only about 20 of us (not including the secret service and staff). So we could actually get some amazing shots of the decor without people in them.
While I don't cover a lot of DC-specific things, I thought this was a special opportunity and I wanted to share the photos with you! If you are coming to DC this month, you should try to take a tour so you can see the decorations yourself! We even got to see Sunny and Bo, they Obama's dogs! They are so cute.

What, When, Where?
- What: the first Academic Senate Meeting of the year!
- When: Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016, 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. or until we finish… whichever comes first. Arrive early: Annual Senate photoshoot at 2:15 pm; Community Time (food! conversation!) starts at 2 pm.
- Where: 1908 Smith, MVS Decision Making Center
Can't make it?
If you're teaching or otherwise know you won't be attending Senate this semester, please help us make quorum by "opting out" of Senate. Send an email to Dave Daniels with the title "F'16 Senate opt out" and we'll take it from there.
Agenda Overview
As always, you'll find the full agenda and supporting documents via our Senate page.
Following reports from the president, the interim provost, and others with subjects of interest to faculty, we'll discuss a proposal for an Online Liberal Studies Degree Completion Program. This proposal is included in the materials: prepare your comments and questions!
Two other items are included in the materials yet do not appear on the agenda:
- The Fiscal Policies Committee (AY15-16 version) is seeking feedback for their S'16 recommendations draft. A final version may appear later this semester as a proposed Senate Resolution: help them by providing feedback now, via this link. (The recommendations draft is embedded in this link as well.)
- The CSU Chancellor has asked campuses to engage in robust discussion of the report of the CSU Task Force on the Advancement of Ethnic Studies. Senate Exec expects that this discussion will involve many campus constituencies, including some Senate committees. You might be interested in the report: we hereby make it available to you.
Chair "Office Hour"
There are more perspectives, questions, thoughts to ponder, and great ideas out there than our Community (Half) Hours, Senate meeting times, and campus email processes could ever capture. I invite you to join me for coffee (or EABs) on non-Senate/ non-Senate Exec-Tuesdays as your schedules and time permit. I'll announce a (shifting) time and location each time I post a newsletter. Ideally you'll do most of the talking and I'll listen… First iteration: Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2:30 – 3:30 outside the SUB.
Chair Blog
I'll try to post things that may strike a chord with many faculty. (First planned post: a revision of the faculty structure and summary of service opportunities I shared at Convocation.) I'd love it if you would share your thoughts in the comments, volunteer to guest-blog, etc.

GWINNETT COUNTY, GEORGIA — A man strapped with wires caused a big scare at a Gwinnett County mall, police said.
They said 30-year-old Daniel Tudela, of Stone Mountain, was strapped with wires and electronic devices hanging from his body Sept. 13. He was headed toward the movie theater at Discover Mills.
"One would put together, and reasonably assume, that he is here to commit some type of heinous crime, deadly crime," said Cpl. Ed Ritter with the Gwinnett County Police Department.
Police said that's what the officers were prepared to confront after the mall employees called 911. Responding officers quickly determined the devices were not a threat.
According to a police report, Tudela told investigators the devices were part of his style and all of the gadgets were for personal use.
Still, police said on the heels of the mass shooting in Colorado and two days after the Sept. 11 attacks anniversary, the gadgets sparked concern.
"In the day of age that we're in today, with terrorist activity, and dressing like one, one would assume that you are one," Ritter said.
Police told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh they wanted to continue the investigation to make certain he wasn't a threat. Police decided to charge Tudela this week with a misdemeanor for having a hoax device.
Kavanaugh went to Tudela's home to get his side of the story, and a woman identifying herself as a friend said, "It's no big deal. It's no big deal." She added she didn't understand the police reaction to what Tudela was allegedly wearing.
On Wednesday afternoon, Kavanaugh spoke over the phone with Tudela's attorney Regina Matthews. She said the gadgets were just toys to operate his cellphone and MP3 player.
She emailed a statement to Channel 2 Action News saying in part:
"This was an unfortunate arrest that was completely unwarranted. Family, neighbors and friends who know Mr. Tudela are expressing their concern and outrage over how such charges could be brought against someone who is kind, gentle and would never pose a risk of harm to anyone."

Climbing from the shore to the deck of a ship is how most gangway injuries happen. The gangway is the name of the stair, ladder or bridge structure that allows access to and from the deck of a ship, boat, dry dock or any type of vessel or marine structure. Gangway security is an important part of shipyard safety. It is important that ropes or chains are used to secure the gangway to both the ship and the shore so that it will remain adequately in place. If the gangway is not properly secured, it may come loose and fall. If a person is on the gangway at the time, the results could and likely will be disastrous.
Gangway injuries can arise out of many different scenarios. In Denmark in 2010 a lifting wire became stuck on the handrail while two ships assistants were on the gangway. When it broke loose the gangway fell into a storage position and one of the men fell over 16 feet to the pier. That same year in Germany another man was killed when he fell from the gangway of a car carrier over 18 feet to the pier. Neither of these men were wearing their safety harnesses. Safety harnesses should always be worn to prevent gangway injuries or even deaths.
Gangway injuries are common because they are always accessed in some type of unstable condition. Bar pilots and harbor captains will climb onto the gangway while the ship is in motion, perhaps the most dangerous of all ways to use the gangway. Crew and other workers climb the gangway while the vessel is on shore. Even if the water is calm, the gangway will still constantly move, swing, drag, pull and push its way all over the pier. In rough seas, the movement is amplified and gangway injuries are more likely to occur. Handrails can be loose as well which poses great risks. Because the gangway will sway back and forth, several people at a time can be pushed into the handrails due to the ships motion in the water relative to the shore. To ensure safety and to prevent gangway injuries, seaman or anyone else boarding or exiting the ship should exercise extreme caution. Always check to make sure ropes or some means of security are in place to prevent the gangway from moving too much or falling. Make sure the handrails are competent to hold the weight of a person because they are not for show and will be needed.
The Lambert Firm has a team of attorneys who are experienced in fighting for victims of maritime injuries including gangway injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered from gangway injuries or any other maritime injury, call The Lambert Firm today for a free case evaluation.
