Bennet and other senators ask BP to put $20 billion in escrow for Gulf
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and other lawmakers issued a letter Friday asking British Petroleum to set aside $20 billion in escrow for Gulf cleanup and economic damages.
The letter drops into an increasingly heated controversy over how much BP will owe for its ongoing well blowout, and whether the U.S. needs to lock up BP money before it's gone. President Obama and others have demanded BP skip billions of dollars in planned dividend payouts to shareholders, but it's not clear yet if BP will respond.
Shares of BP, like Exxon Mobil and other oil company stocks in the U.S., are widely held in Britain. Owners from pension funds to individual retirees depend on dividend income. At the same time, Gulf leaders and members of Congress want BP to pay not just for spill cleanup but for compensating lost wages by fishermen, tourism workers and workers on other oil rigs affected by emergency rule changes.
The senators' letter reads, in part, "In order to ensure BP fully and quickly covers the costs of this disaster, we are calling on BP to immediately establish a special account of $20 billion, administered by an independent trustee, to be used for payment of economic damages and clean-up costs.
"Establishment of this account would serve as an act of good faith and as a first step towards ensuring that there will be no delay in payments or attempt to evade responsibility for damages. Although creating this account at this level in no way limits BP's liability, we believe it will do more to improve BP's public image than the costly public relations campaign your company has launched."
The letter asks for a BP response by June 21.

text: the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 9114cfc332720cedb487c140913a45cb65b9e5e1 Author: Oskar Enoksson <enok at lysator.liu.se> Date: Thu Oct 6 18:43:43 2011 +0200 Fixes several issues with amd k8 SSDT P-state generation First issue fixed: For multi-socket CPU the current implementation emitted Processor objects for cores in the first CPU only. This commit fixes the bug by really emitting one Processor object for each core. However, the unlikely case of mixed CPU models is still not handled correctly. Second issue fixed: One loop was wrong in case a processor in the table declares no P-states at all. The rewritten loop is safe. Some possibly dangerous array lengths were also fixed. Third issue: on MP-boards the recommended ramp-voltage (RVO) is 0mV according to the BKDG. The current implementation always set it to 25mV. This commit selects 0 or 25mV depending on CONFIG_MAX_PHYSICAL_CPUS. Fourth issue: If a processor without PowerNow! support was inserted in a system with coreboot configured with SET_FIDVID then the boot process hanged mysteriously and very early. Apparently because init_fidvid_ap tampers with non-existing registers. This commit fixes the bug by bailing out from init_fidvid_ap if PowerNow! capability is missing.

Reviewed by: Tim Emmerich
Starring: Demi Moore, Viggo Mortensen, Anne Bancroft, Jason Beghe / Director: Ridley Scott / Released by: Hollywood/Caravan Pictures
"G.I. Jane"—is it destined to be a new recruitment film for the military? Considerable time is spent stressing the harsh training requirements for the elite Navy SEALs in "G.I. Jane." Surprisingly, SEAL recruits are treated to very realistic, actual situations and consequences. Now, some powerful people want to create another battle—a battle of the sexes.
A tough female Senator DeHaven (Anne Bancroft) is pushing the military to accept females in ALL possible military positions. In contemporary society, women are already now accepted into combat situations and previously all-male military academies—why not the Navy SEALs? Senator DeHaven is pushing just for that, and she uses her political clout as a committee member that will approve the next secretary of defense to accomplish this goal. Here is where Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil (Demi Moore) marches in. O'Neil is recruited as the test case to see if she can pass the SEAL training, of which there is a 60% drop-out rate among the men who attempt it.
Twist after turn are added to this battle as the seemingly SEAL training graduate pushes through the crossfire to succeed her goal. However, it seems that she is the only one who wants her to succeed. An unbelievable development occurs where the trainees get to participate in an actual mission… I wonder how often that really gets to happen??
Christians, be warned. As can be expected from a film of this genre, there are over two dozen obscenities, naturally dealing with lewd sex-related topics. Granted, the military is the military—which means there will be plenty of crude sexual references. But it distracts more than adds to the film. And another expectation is that there will be plenty of Demi. While not as much as was expected, and brief that they were, Demi is seen with her full-backside in the shower, and she does wear lots of revealing attire throughout the movie. As can also be expected, Demi is muscle-toned to the hilt in "G.I. Jane." She still hasn't made many films without relying on her physique to draw attention.
Unless you are considering military service, avoid this film. If you are anticipating service in the military, the storyline may be beneficial in convining you that being a Christian in the military can be a hard road… though not impossible. Many strong Christians can be found serving in this nation's armed forces. To them, we salute. To "G.I. Jane," we don't.

If you need an acme screw thread, choosing between thread rolling and thread grinding can be difficult. After all, each process benefits applications in different ways. If you're struggling to choose an option for your acme thread design, the following considerations can help you make a decision.
Thread Rolling
Thread rolling rotates a hardened steel die, pressing it against the surface of a cylindrical blank. The blank rolls against the threads of the in-feeding dies, displacing materials to form the root of the thread.
This process produces strong acme precision threaded rods, perfect for applications that need improved strength and fatigue resistance. Instead of cutting against the natural grain of the metal, thread rolling re-forms and hardens these structures. There are no sharp corners in the thread's root, nor tool marks on the thread's flanks. They also have a higher resistance to stripping.
This process is often recommended for several reasons. Thread rolling is the most cost-effective method for standard acme thread design. (At The PST Group, for example, we have an extensive inventory of thread rolling die. Unlike most acme nut suppliers, this means we can guarantee a quick turnaround.) Rolled material is also stronger than ground material because the rolling process isn't chipping or removing any of the raw materials. However, this process is not always possible, due to part design or the acme thread design.
Watch our video below about acme thread rolling
Thread Grinding
If you need acme screw to meet custom backlash requirements, thread grinding is a better option. Thread grinding utilizes a CNC machine with an abrasive grinding wheel to form threads. This process produces tight-tolerance acme precision threaded rods, perfect for applications with unique part geometry or where a custom fit is required. Thread grinding also allows for threads to be cut into high hardness materials as well. Unlike thread rolling, there is no special tooling required, making thread grinding ideal for low-quality or prototype manufacturing lots. PST engineers have already helped several customers utilize thread grinding to provide custom solutions for their applications.
Take, for example, an existing PST customer that came to us with an application used in a flat actuator of a single engine aircraft. Cost and weight were the driving factor for this project, so the decision was made to use an acme screw assembly instead of a ball screw assembly.
The requirements for this acme screw thread are strict, as the acme screw and acme nut must be custom matched sets. Thread grinding was used to create a highly efficient assembly with minimal backlash. Our engineers also created a custom acme thread design that met the requirements for the aircraft.
Once the design was finalized, prototypes were designed and manufactured for testing. This project is still in development, and the customer is performing tests to prove out their design. However, this design is flexible. If, once these tests are complete, if there are changes to be made, our engineers will work with the customer to move the project in the right direction.
Watch our video below about acme thread grinding
Acme Heat Treating
When high hardness or strength is required, acme heat treating may also be recommended. The key is to match the material, strength, and heat treat requirement to the application, as it does vary. Our PST engineers can help you decide on the best course of action for your application's needs.
Which method is best for you?
Whether we decide to utilize thread rolling or thread grinding, choosing an acme threaded rod manufacturer that offers flexibility is key.
At PST, our ability to deliver quality custom projects is what sets us apart. You put it to the test, and if something needs to be adapted, we'll make it work.

TSX-V: DOS October 16, 2013
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA - DIOS EXPLORATION INC. (DOS) reports that to date eight holes totalling 1 237 meters of core have been completed in the course of the ongoing diamond drilling program on wholly-owned 33 CARATS gold porphyry project, James Bay, QC. It is the first ever drilling campaign for gold on that project, several holes intercepted multiple several meter zones of mineralized tonalite (granite) with disseminated copper sulfides (up to 1 % chalcopyrite), 1 to 3 % pyrite (iron sulfide) (gold indicators following DIOS' geologists in this geological context: gold porphyry), as well as silicified zones and hematized ones, and furthermore, chalcopyrite stringer zones, biotite stringer zones, and carbonated zones in places. Holes were drilled over approximately a 2.5 km north-south length and over 500 m east-west.
Under the supervision of Harold Desbiens, M.Sc. Geo and Vice-President of DIOS, the ongoing diamond drilling program is testing several magnetic lineaments or structures within a gold-silver-copper-bismuth mineralized tonalitic granite on road accessible 33 CARATS. The core shall be detailed logged and split in two for gold assaying.
Gold mineralized outcrops grading up to 4.93 g/t Au, 6.8 g/t Ag, 0.477% Cu and 14 g/t Bi were discovered in 2012. Some glacial boulders of metric size are angular, suggesting a proximal source, and they grade up to 7.76 g/t Au, 15.7 g/t Ag, 2 % Cu and 74 g/t Bi; they were for the first time discovered in 2011.
Mineralization (disseminated, not vein-hosted) and metal associations suggest potential for a low-grade bulk tonnage porphyry gold deposit, such as in Malartic, Abitibi, Quebec. This release was prepared by M.J. Girard, M.Sc. Geo, a 43-101 Qualified Person.
Forward-Looking Statements: This news release contains discussion of items that may constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties. Although the company believes
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurances that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from expectations include the effects of general economic conditions, actions by government authorities, uncertainties
associated with contract negotiations, additional financing requirements, market acceptance of the Company's products
and competitive pressures. These factors and others are more fully discussed in Company filings with Canadian securities
regulatory authorities.

MU studies possibility of adding conference center
COLUMBIA - MU partnered with a consulting company to conduct a three week survey that would help determine if another conference center and hotel near the MU campus would be put to good use in Columbia.
At the start of the 2014 fall semester at MU, enrollment numbers broke records again. MU Spokesperson Christian Basi said growing numbers on campus and in the Columbia community launched the conversation to possibly expand.
"We are even going outside of the Columbia community and saying, 'Have you thought about coming to Columbia? If you did what were some of the types of facilities you would need?'" Basi said.
He also said community input is essential to determine what kind of facilities are needed in Columbia. The survey is being distributed to a wide variety of audiences, including students, alumni, faculty, local and regional businesses and organizations.
"We really want to establish whether or not a need exists. And so this is the very first step," said Basi.
Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Amy Schneider said MU has been transparent with the hotel community in Columbia.
"Everyone always welcomes a little friendly competition, but we want to make sure that it doesn't hurt the rest of the folks here," Schneider said.
MU student Mecca Wilkerson said adding another large facility would take up space.
"We're not going to use it honestly," she said.
She also believes if a new conference center was built in Columbia it would be a waste of money.
"I think that would just take space from expanding for dorms which we would need more than another conference center. The Hearnes center is huge, we have Mizzou Arena, Farout Field, we have all these huge spaces that we can use," said Wilkerson.
No concrete plans have been set about the details of the possible conference center or hotel. MU plans to close the study in three weeks and determine if there is a need after reviewing the results.

BRASÍLIA - A Brazilian Supreme Court justice Thursday suspended powerful Lower House speaker Eduardo Cunha Thursday for obstructing efforts to investigate him as part of the Petrobras corruption scandal engulfing the country, a judicial source said.
Cunha, a key opponent of President Dilma Rousseff and architect of impeachment proceedings against her, "used his office for his own illicit ends to prevent the success of investigations against him," prosecutors said in asking the court to take action.
In March, the Supreme Court voted to put Cunha on trial, accusing him of taking $5 million in bribes as part of a vast embezzlement and bribery network centered on state oil giant oil Petrobras.
Cunha, who rejects the charges, is also being investigated by the congressional ethics committee over allegedly lying to Congress about possessing secret Swiss bank accounts.
But the speaker - who under Brazil's constitution is third in line to the presidency - had kept ahead of his own enemies and remained the go-to man in the push against the president.
Senators will vote next week on whether to open an impeachment trial against Rousseff.
Judge Teori Zavaski, in his ruling seen by AFP, said Cunha did not meet the requirements to exercise his role as speaker and was even less qualified to fill in for Rousseff.
Rousseff has referred to Cunha as one of "two leaders of the coup" she says is unfolding against her.
The suspension comes at a time of deep political and economic crisis in the South American country, which will host the Olympic Games in August.

Whiskey Twist was formed in early 2014. The band consist of all local musicians from the Cambridgeshire area and are based in the town of March.
The band is made up of previous members from other local groups such as Rooster, The 59er's, Krak'n, Wild Honey and Mind The Gap.
The band soon put together an impressive set list and got to work straight away with rehearsals. The band have always been keen not to play the usual set that most cover bands follow. Although there are well known songs within the bands set, they don't feel that any of them have been over played.
The band have been labled as a "Classic Rock" band. They do play classic tracks from the 70's, 80's and 90's but also feature many new songs in there set by classic rock inspired bands such as Chickenfoot and Black Country Communion.
The bands eclectic taste constructed an impressive set. All of the songs are aimed at getting the audience nodding and screaming along, and at the same time showcasing the bands excellent musical skills. The bands set includes songs by bands and artists such as Aerosmith, Joe Bonamassa, Velvet Revolver, Bryan Adams, Stereophonics, Grand Funk Railroad, Alice in Chains, Queen, Paul Rodgers, Free and many more.
Like all great rock bands, Whiskey Twist sound best LIVE! Catch them at Yaxley Festival.

PETALING JAYA, Mar 1 (Sin Chew Daily) -- Tourism and culture minister Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz claimed that MCA could not represent the Chinese community of Malaysia, nor could MCA Youth chairman Datuk Chong Sin Woon because he did not win an election.
When contacted by Sin Chew Daily, Nazri said he was a professional who respected democracy.
He said MCA could not represent the Chinese community because the party was badly defeated in the 13th general elections, managing only seven parliamentary seats and beaten in Chinese-majority constituencies.
"Look at the Parliament. How many DAP reps do we have? And look at Penang where Chinese are the majority. DAP is the ruling party there and so I said DAP represents the Chinese community because I respect election results."
Nazri said he works with DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng because he is the chief minister of Penang and DAP is the state government as the Chinese there have made the choice.
"I respect DAP's MP for Seremban Anthony Loke because he is an elected rep."
'MCA not my friend'
On the Robert Kuok issue, Nazri said he had never mentioned nor attacked MCA from the very beginning, and could not understand why MCA chose to open fire at him.
"Since they have chosen to fight me, I will fight back. I will not back off!"
He reiterated that he would not apologize and was prepared to fight the entire MCA election mechanism.
He also admitted that MCA was not his friend, citing the row dating back to the 2013 general elections over a squabble he had with then MCA president Tan Sri Chua Soi Lek.
"The whole Padang Rengas MCA exco boycotted me, and openly withdrew their support for me. What do you want me to do? So I said MCA is not my friend!
"If they were my friends, why didn't they support me? Until now they still have not apologized to me, and I am quite sure they will continue to boycott me in GE14."

Many investors were skeptical last year while billionaire Elon Musk started trying to merge two of his companies, Solar City and Tesla. He claimed that solar rooftops from Solar City should be combined with in-home battery packs and electric vehicles from Tesla. Eventually, the companies were merged and now Tesla is trying to market its groundbreaking, nearly-invisible solar panels as a key feature for the home of anyone that owns a Tesla car. It turns out some other companies do not think the idea is so crazy.
On May 18, carmaker Mercedes-Benz and Vivant Solar announced a "strategic collaboration" that sounds a lot like the merged Tesla. The two companies will join together to develop a residential home energy storage system that they say will combine Mercedes' expertise with batteries and Vivant's expertise with residential electricity systems. Vivant Solar has installed solar systems in more than 100,000 homes across the U.S., but it has yet to integrate battery storage into its offerings. Likewise, Mercedes has yet to pair its cars with the renewable recharging capabilities that many drivers seem to want. Both companies seem to see the partnership as a way to boost adoption of their own products. Vivant expects to give customers more control over their electricity, as having a battery backup greatly expands the usability of solar. Mercedes recently launched a similar home battery system in Europe and the company says that venture has been highly successful.
Mercedes and Vivant may have a leg up on Tesla when it comes to pricing. Tesla's Powerwall 2 stores 14 kilowatt-hours of electricity and costs about $11,450. Tesla recommends one battery pack for most average sized homes. Mercedes, on the other hand, offers its battery packs as small as 2.5 kilowatt-hours at an expected price of about $5,000. For a home that does not need a lot of storage, it may be appealing to start with a smaller battery pack from Mercedes.
AGR Group has been offering consumers and business owners innovative energy solutions since 2002. As energy experts, we closely follow industry trends and look for new opportunities to expand our product lines. AGR Group has recently found success in offering solar installations through outbound telesales. Contact us to discuss how we can market your innovative solution.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. . .
16 comments:
Hahaha! I've had a bad stylist before....and just switched to a better one. We move around so much that its bound to happen now and again. Sometimes a person maybe awesome with short hair but put me in front of them and they seem to get nervous...and I just need a trim.ReplyDelete
I think that you should definitely receive relaxation and soothed muscles for the money. If you're just leaving frustrated than that's no good. I would be honest and say that you've given them months worth of chances and tried everything but its not happening. (And this reminds me of the Friends episode of Chandler trying to quit the gym.)
oh girl..i tried massage envy once and it was horrrrible! I never went back. It's so much more worth it to spend the extra money and get a good massage!ReplyDelete
I would've told them why I was breaking it off. They should know their product is mediocre! I hope you find someone good who's not too expensive.ReplyDelete
Aww, I know you've not been having great luck with Massage Envy - I'm glad you are "breaking up" with it. I wish I knew of better massage places though :( Also I've been so behind going through my blogs, but I caught up on your Blissdom adventures. Great posts :) Sounds like it was a fabulous time!!ReplyDelete
x Abby
haha i was wondering where you were going with this one! I always feel so awkward about things like this- especially with hair stylists.ReplyDelete
Omg this post had me dying Jodi you are TOO funny hahaha!!!! I am so sorry you had such poor experiences. I have a WONDERFUl person but she's in Wellesley (she does some of the Red Sox exclusively!)ReplyDelete
If you're ever out my way I'll book you if we can get you in. Have a great weekend girl, it's supposed to be gorgeousss xo
I have done this before...dont know what to do but I slowly stop going when I feel it does not help me. I am not too good at breaking up but hope you can decide what to do better than I canReplyDelete
Yikes! I hate these situations where it's almost impossible to cancel something. I also hate it when they ask you why you are cancelling. I always just say "I don't have room for it in my budget right now. Things are tight and I have to make some cuts" and most of the time they don't come back at me with some thing like "well did you know that I can offer you xyz?" I don't have time fo that crap. lolReplyDelete
Haha, nice post! I'm not a big massage person but I know it can be hard finding someone you like.ReplyDelete
Oh, and hydro massages are giving free massages away the week after taxes are finished, so maybe you could get a free massage. Hopefully you won't get a "choker" or "talker", haha. http://bostononbudget.com/reserve-your-free-hydromassage-now-free-massages-for-tax-day/
Well, I am honest to the point of brutality. I would just tell the therapist that I am not happy with the service, and I am going somewhere else.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you haven't had a good experience there! If you ever come visit I can try to get you an appointment with my massage therapist. She's not cheap but she is worth every. single. penny. I have no idea how she managed to get rid of all my pregnancy pains but she did. She's amazing!ReplyDelete
I hope you find a good one soon!
that is terrible! that choking time sounds like my nightmare!!!ReplyDelete
This is a hilarious post! I am sorry about your experience though but the way you wrote about it was quiet entertainingReplyDelete
All right, I have absolutely no advice because I've NEVER gotten a massage! ah! But your descriptions have my laughing and cringing at the same time (also, I no longer feel bad about never having one!) hahaReplyDelete
Oh gosh-- that's horrible. I've never been to Massage Envy, only to some other local places. Hope you can find one that's better (and not expensive)!!ReplyDelete
Definitely tell them why you're leaving!!ReplyDelete
The thing about Massage Envy is that they'll literally employ anyone straight out of massage school, and they're so busy that they don't check in on their therapists. If they know about your mediocre massages, they'll be able to evaluate better.
If you don't mind going to Newbury street, check out Beacon Massage - that's where I used to work until I decided 3 jobs was too much haha. They offer a lot of deals. Tell Jason I sent you.

Elkhart, Ind.-based Dometic LLC is making progress on its $10 million expansion in northern Indiana to manufacture refrigerators for the RV and marine markets. RVBUSINESS.com toured the plant recently, some five months after the Elkhart City Council voted unanimously to approve a 10-year tax abatement and incentive package for the project, which will consist of four new refrigerator assembly lines and a cooling unit manufacturing operation in what was a vacant warehouse at the Sweden-based company's east-side Elkhart facility.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Dometic LLC up to $1.1 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $320,000 in training grants across two projects based on the company's job-creation plans.
Dometic LLC President Doug Whyte in early August joined Ind. Gov. Mitch Daniels in announcing a $10 million expansion — welcome news for an industry beset at that time by the worst of the 2008-09 recession.
Now, a half-year later, Dometic has hired and trained 52 people — of the total 241 to be hired by 2012 — for assembly of six-cubic-foot units a day on the first of four new production lines in this massive facility on Elkhart's Industrial Parkway.
The $10 million investment includes more than $6.8 million to move its refrigerator manufacturing operations from Sweden to Elkhart and $3 million to move production from a plant in Mexico, which was lost by fire in April, to Dometic's LaGrange, Ind., facility, where it will increase manufacturing capacity of retractable awnings, creating 116 new jobs. Eighty people already are at work at the LaGrange facility.
The first two production lines in the Elkhart facility are high-volume refrigerator assembly lines; the third and fourth lines will assemble side-by-side, Elite 2+2 and other Classic-model refrigerators. These larger refrigerators will measure from eight cubic feet up to 14 cubic feet.
Dometic chose to relocate refrigerator production from Sweden to Elkhart rather than China or Mexico — where labors costs would have been far less — in order to be closer to its customer base: 70% of Dometic's customers are located within 50 miles of Elkhart, explained Whyte.
The move to northern Indiana also improves response times as well as opportunities for customer-specific product development, Whyte noted.
As for the specifics of the project, workers in December began tearing up the asphalt floor in a 100,000-square-foot warehouse on the Dometic campus to make way for a new 8-inch-thick concrete floor requiring 280 truckloads of concrete. The old floor was too weak to support the heavy equipment in the new cooling-unit manufacturing plant.
Concrete work should be finished by the end of February, with equipment installation in May and June, according to Jim Menefee, director of operations.
Some 35 sophisticated, highly automated robotic stations will be installed for cooling-unit manufacturing, which should be operational by July. This facility will be a major energy consumer, making it one of the major electrical customers of American Electric Power Co. in northern Indiana, Menefee noted.
When complete, total space for the new Dometic operations will be about 5 1/2 acres with 100,000 square feet for the cooling-unit manufacturing and 150,000 square feet for refrigerator assembly.
This expansion includes a state-of-the-art test "oven," an incubator-like laboratory which is kept at a constant 95 degrees to test the efficiency of the finished refrigerators over a six-hour period. Dometic has installed two 4,000-gallon tanks that tower over the refrigerator production area and a $500,000 safety-management system that monitors and regulates the flow of the highly volatile chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Outside, a 9,200-gallon tank, submerged in a thick concrete vault, stores the most volatile of the foam-making chemicals.
Because the new production operation has usurped all of the pre-existing warehouse space, Dometic has leased a 125,000-square-foot warehouse in nearby Goshen, conveniently located near two of its major RV customers.

MyHistoricLA: April 2009 Panel - Los Angeles Central Library
KCRW-FM's "DnA: Design and Architecture"
SurveyLA: Preserving Los Angeles is an Emmy Award winning television production that introduces viewers to one of the City of Los Angeles' most exciting and groundbreaking projects - the largest local citywide historic resources survey in the nation - showcasing Los Angeles' rich architectural and cultural heritage.
The program is divided into three segments that explain the survey by taking viewers to diverse historic places around the city, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House, the Dunbar Hotel on Central Avenue, the Far East Café in Little Tokyo, Weatherwolde Castle in Tujunga, Church of the Epiphany in Lincoln Heights, and the Modernist neighborhoods of Crestwood Hills in Brentwood and Balboa Highlands in Granada Hills for interviews with local leaders who discuss how the survey will help preserve the places that make Los Angeles special.
The program addresses how the survey will help Los Angeles preserve its remarkable architecture, protect places of deep social and cultural significance, and generate economic revitalization. SurveyLA will help policymakers, property owners, and community members make intelligent decisions about development and historic preservation.
This video is a collaboration of the City of Los Angeles' Office of Historic Resources (OHR) and Information Technology Agency, LA Cityview, Channel 35. Click on Part 1 to get started, and be sure to view all three segments.We hope that the program will encourage you to get involved. Do you know of a place connected with an important person or with a significant event that helped form the history of your neighborhood or community? The Office of Historic Resources invites you to share your stories, pictures, or documents by clicking on MyHistoricLA.
SurveyLA was featured in a seven-minute segment on the national PBS NewsHour on May 12, 2014. To view the story, please visit http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/preserving-cultural-treasures-los-angeles-one-block-time/
The Office of Historic Resources joined forces with the Getty Conservation Institute and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles on April 4, 2009, to help kickoff the citywide launch of SurveyLA's activities. The event featured a stimulating panel discussion on the project, moderated by Larry Mantle, host of KPCC-FM's "Airtalk".

It looks as if Prince Philip may have done something to upset the Queen after he was 'decapitated' during a visit to Wiltshire.
As the Duke of Edinburgh stood for the national anthem outside Salisbury cathedral, his head disappeared behind a canopy.
The royals visited the city as part of the Queen's diamond jubilee tour, which will take in every region of the country.
After arriving on the royal train, the Queen and Prince Philip chatted to schoolchildren and met the cathedral's stonemasons.
Earlier, hundreds of people braved the wet weather to welcome the couple to Sherborne, Dorset, where they attended a Mad Hatter's Tea Party and a 50s-style coffee morning.
On Wednesday, they will visit Yeovil and Crewkerne in Somerset before arriving in Exeter, Devon.

Abdul Kalam
- Peel the dark outer skin of tapioca and set aside.
- Heat enough oil in a kadai/ pan, using a metal strainer immerse few curry leaves and drop in the oil and set aside when fried.
- Using a vegetable slicer/Mandolin slicer slice the tapioca into round discs directly into the oil. ( be very very careful while doing this). If you are not very confident then slice them on to a cutting board and deep fry them in batches.
- When done ( bubbles will subside in the oil ). Drain on a kitchen/paper towel, sprinkle chilli powder and salt while still hot and toss a little bit and transfer to an airtight container. Finally add the fried curry leaves ( crumble few ) and mix well.

I'm trying to get to my classroom, yet the hallway seems impossibly long. Hands are everywhere. Touching me. Squeezing my boobs and my ass. Pinching me. Poking my pussy and my nips. Stroking my clit, running in and out of me. There's a finger pushing on my asshole. It hurts and at the same time if feels good. DAMN!
It wouldn't stop! The hands. The fingers. Some of it feels really, really good. Some is painful and makes me want to scream, yet only sounds of pleasure and wanting more are coming out of me. My nipples are crinkled up so hard they ached. Every touch is sending bolts of pure energy to my core.
I'm right on the edge of a really, really, really big orgasm. Nobody will help me get there, and they are keeping my hands out to the sides, a hard cock in each. My core keeps getting hotter and hotter. Like a spring winding tighter and tighter seeking release. Fluids were leaking down my legs. My cunny is a lake.
"Damn it, I need relief NOW!" I moaned, but no one heard me.
There was a knock at my door.
"Becky, time to get up!" Mom shouted through the door. I heard her footsteps fade down the hall. The hands faded, the hall turned into my room. The memory of a twisted nipple and dry pokes at my vulva remained. Horny and confused, I opened my eyes.
I don't remember getting under the covers last night, but it feels nice. Damn. I was naked! The Program was real and I'm in it. I had a boyfriend! No, I had a mountain with wonderful caves. Yet, my house of cards was gone. And right now, I'm alone. Lonely. Horny. I'd never been horny before. Not like this. Was I turning into a slut? Would everyone know and make fun of me today?
As I got out of bed, I felt stiff and sore between my legs. I'd lost my hymen! A guy had driven me to some fantastic orgasms with his tongue and fingers. I had a boyfriend! And, I wasn't hiding anymore. No more house of cards. Where is my muse?
I reached for my robe. "How silly," I said to the painting on the easel. "I'll be back to finish you next week, sorry." My art. Oh, my art. Suffering because of the Program. Stupid Program. Then I saw my painting of Luis and I felt calm. My core heated more. "God, my Mountain, I'm sorry. I'm a slut. I'm scared." I told the painting, hoping he could hear me and wrap me into my cave.
As I opened my door, I felt naked. Exposed. Oh God, and this was just at home! As I walked to the bathroom door, I couldn't get the picture of the hallway in my dream out of my mind. I felt the hands touching me. I felt my body responding. Would Luis still want me?
"You okay, Bec?" Jason had just come out of the bathroom. He was dressed like I was but his hair was damp.
"No," I squeaked. I hugged him and started crying. "I can't do this…." He let me cry. His chest didn't feel like my Cave, but it helped. "I'm… I'm… I don't know what I am. Scared? Confused?"
"You're doing fine, Bec – all things considered." I hugged my thanks. "I ran into Luis this morning."
He chuckled, "well, I didn't run into him, literally. We ran together for a couple of miles. Look, I'll get you to school and to Luis, okay?" His arms surrounded me and comforted me. I felt safe. I nodded into his chest. My eyes were drying, finally.
"Jase, am I doing the right thing?" Was I using Luis, and him using me? Did I have any control over my life? Had I ever? I thought I had, but…
"What thing?" His voice was gentle yet concerned.
"Falling for Luis." Am I? I think so. Or…
"What do you mean?"
"I feel like I'm using him to get through the Program."
"You and he need to work that out, Bec." He paused, "I don't think you are." He collected himself and held me at arm's length. "Take your shower, dress, eat, and I'll take you to school."
"I'd rather not dress and have to do the strip. I'd rather not go to school." I'd rather just go back to the way I was before school yesterday.
"If you don't go, it's another week." He paused. "Without a partner and without relief."
"I know. I still don't want to go." Breathe, Rebbecca, breathe. Just like Luis taught me.
"Take your shower. We can talk at breakfast."
"Thanks, Jase." I went into the bath. I tried to let the water wash my fear away. Fear. DAMN LUIS! Fear and stories. I liked my stories and my house of cards and hiding in plain sight and… Pull yourself together, Becky!
This seemed so simple yesterday. Now, dressing was deciding which pair of shoes that went with being prodded all day. Prada would be perfect–don't have any. Maybe I should splurge on a pair for this week. I grabbed my bags and went down to breakfast wearing comfortable Dr. Scholl's flats. Mom was dressed just in an apron. Dad was in his usual three-piece business suit, but not hiding behind the paper. Jase was still nude.
"Good morning, Becky. I'd be dressed in the uniform of the week, but I have an early meeting. Forgive me?" My dad, asking me for forgiveness? Standing in the middle of the kitchen, I dropped my bags and started bawling. I didn't deserve their support. Not after the way I've treated them.
"I can't do this!" I wailed. Before my knees gave out, I was the center of three people huddling me, petting my hair, holding me up. Loving me. Another cave. They held me until I finally wound down to the occasional sniffle.
"Becky?" Mom got my attention. "We need to plan tonight. Okay?"
It was the right thing to say – a focus outside of my stories. "Okay, Mama." The group got me to the table. There was food and juice in front of me.
Before I could shrink into myself, she asked, "What did you have last night?"
"We started with, I think they called it antipasti, and …" I told about the rest of dinner while staring down at my food. 'Buck up, kiddo.' Oh, hi Muse. When did you come back? 'When you started this oh woe-is-me BS. That is not us!.' I felt her shudder right down to my core.
"Veal Santa Rosa?" Dad asked. Coming back to the moment, I nodded. "His mom is a chef?" I nodded again. "Helen, pull out all the stops. Luis's mom owns and is the chef at the best restaurant in town. We've been there before. Cuccina Rosa."
"Okay…." Mom really drew that one out–at least three syllables. "We have our work cut out for us. I can't out do her on the high end, so we should go with our family's best. Cozy, homey, good, and plentiful. That should appeal to a football player." My Mountain. Yes, that's how I'll get through the day. Focus on the mountains! I vigorously nodded my approval. Mom smiled.
"She told me she'd teach me how to make the veal." I was finally able to look up and engage.
"WHAT!?!" My father almost fell off his chair. "Do you know that's a more closely guarded secret than the nuclear launch codes?" His shrill voice made me flash to memories of my youth and being in deep trouble.
"Ah…" I was confused. What did I do wrong? I thought I had done well and that Carmella liked me. "She offered. Then Luis got upset…" My eyes started to mist. "Now you…" The mist turned to a river as my insides turned to mush and my brain went into overload. "I don't know what I did wrong!" I finally wailed.
My father gathered me in his arms. "Becky, I'm so sorry. I was shocked and reacted. I take clients there all the time and know how strongly Carmella protects that recipe. I'm actually very proud and honored she cares that much for you and trusts you… You must have made a big impression. I'm sorry. Forgive me?"
Naked in school. Boyfriend. Parent's supporting me. Being called Becky again. Now… Now, my father apologizing to me? Pride? Honor? I'm so lost right now and need a safe place to think. God, where is my Mountain and his Cave?
"Yes, Daddy, I do. Thank you." The words came out before I realized it. It felt good to hear myself say it. "I love you." That got me a smile and another hug.
"Mama, I really need to get to Luis. Yet, we still have dinner…" Want. Need. Which one should rule?
"Becky, you go. I'll plan a good meal and get things ready. I'll pick you up right after Art and we can get everything ready. Does that sound good?"
"Thank you, Mom." I gave her a big hug. I could really get accustomed to all this hugging. I whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too, Becky. Now git!" She turned me towards the door and gave my butt a little swat.
"Let's go, Bec. We can catch Luis coming out of the gym if we hurry." Jason, my hero of the hour. I was unaware of the drive. I was trying to sift through all that was happening to me. My father apologizing. And proud of me. My mother helping and asking if a plan was okay. Everyone being supportive. One minute feeling good, the next crying my eyes out. I know it's not about my period, that's a couple of weeks off. Thank goodness. The Program would really suck then. Did the Program suck? Or, was I really learning and growing and just didn't like changing? How am I going to look at this a year from now? Ten years? How am I going to get through today?
"Bec, we're here." Jason's words pulled me from my thoughts. I gave him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. I was out of the car headed from the gym before he turned off the engine.
"Well, good morning Becca." I'm sure my smile cracked something in my face. It felt bigger and wider than ever. A new sensation of warmth spread through me. Joy? Love? "What a wonderful surprise."
"I guess." She came into my arms and I hugged her to me. Breathe, kiddo. Breathe. Try to remember that women think differently. Way differently. Center! Hard to do with a beautiful naked girl in your arms whose breasts are pushed into your bare stomach.
"Is everything okay?" In through the nose, out through the mouth. Forget Junior. Yes you, Junior!
"No. No it's not." Her anger surprised me. Breathe!
"Tell me what's going on, please?" Stay calm. Is she going to dump me after less than a day?
"I left my old world behind. I'm scared that I'm using you. Just inventing another story as a way to survive this week. I don't know. I'm scared. I don't want to hurt you…" She started crying. I held her and let her wind down.
"You did blow up your world. You did a damn good job of it!" That got a little chuckle out of her. I remembered how different my awakening this morning had been. "Let me guess, you had weird dreams all night?"
"I went to bed happy and woke up scared in the middle of a bad dream." I walked her to homeroom and found us seats in the back. Everyone left us alone. We talked quietly so no one could hear us.
"What was your dream?" I held her hands and her eyes.
"A long hallway filled with hands. Poking and prodding. Pinching and squeezing me. I was…" I'm glad I'm not the only one that blushes. She looked down, "I was also excited."
"Um… I wanted to, but I couldn't…" She finally looked up at me again. "I couldn't… I couldn't get off." I avoided a chuckle–somehow. Instead, I held her eyes.
"Which was worse? Being scared and not being able to get away from the hands or…" She cut me off.
"Yeah. The second part." She looked down and got real quiet. "I think I'm turning into a slut."
Oh, Shit. Breathe, Luis. Breathe. In–slowly. Hold. Out–slowly. Hold. Repeat as often as necessary. It was very necessary! "What do you mean by slut?"
"I… I think I'm starting to like sex too much and think about it all the time."
"So, you're becoming a guy?" I couldn't help it. I had to laugh. She gave me a strange look. It was if I had just grown a tit in the middle of my forehead.
"I'm not a guy!" I couldn't help it; I smiled and nodded my head. "Duh!" She lifted her tits up to prove it. I really hadn't looked at them today. Beautiful. Full. Firm. I knew from personal experience how they felt. Oops. Better come back to this conversation or Junior is going to make an appearance.
"What's wrong with being a slut?" I asked seriously and coming back to her eyes.
"Huh?" I do love how she knits her brow when she's uncertain or sorting her thoughts.
"I said, what's wrong with being a slut?" I lightened my tone a touch. She relaxed a touch.
"It's not a good thing." She said this as if a statement. Flat–as if she was repeating the words of someone else and had no conviction about it.
"So, Rosalee is doing a bad thing by saying she is?" I watched her eyes and brow as she sorted her thoughts. Her brow did its dance. Knit one, twist two, flex three…
"Well, no. It's just an act." With some certainty in her voice, but not conviction.
"Is it?" I kept relaxed. I'd found a chink in her armor and didn't want to wound her, just get her to think for herself.
"Huh? Well, why don't people talk about her… you know, rumors and stories and such?"
"Because, she doesn't care. No matter if what she proclaims is true or not, people can't use it against her." She started her sort again and it appeared she was testing her outcomes. I love her face, eyes, and brow. I love getting lost there and watching her think. I could tell she was seeing something new.
"So, calling someone a slut, and meaning it in a bad way, is about power?" I know she saw my delight. Her eyes were doing a little dance like the one she had done around me the night before.
"Completely." She was no longer wounded. Now open and relaxed.
"Explain." How could I not love her and her ability to see beyond my façade and see into me so deeply, just as I could see into her? All we had to do was work out some of the language problems.
"Let me give you two examples. Do you remember Katie Jones from our freshman year?"
"She left school after rumors spread about her being a slut." I'm sure she saw the pain in my eyes.
"Oh. What I remember, she was a nice person."
"Was and is. I still run into her. She goes to Catholic School now and lives just down the street. What's stupid about the rumors is she's still a virgin. She wouldn't go out with a guy, so he started the rumors." I paused. Should I say it? No need. She got it.
"To get even." We shared a look of disgust.
"In a very nasty way. The guy that started the rumors left school as well. Seems, he started having a lot of accidents." I tried to hide the stories that flooded my mind. Not some of my proudest moments.
"Let me guess. Mountain climbing accidents." That got a laugh from both of us. Yet, she did acknowledge my pain.
"What do you think of Maureen Johnson?" She easily shifted gears with me as I mentioned another member of our class.
"She seems like a nice girl. Prim and proper." Her brow did a thing that could only mean confusion; she seemed to not know where I was going. I could sense that she wanted me to continue and not interrupt my story.
"She's just very careful who she goes out with." A caught a moment of fear cross her eyes.
"Have you?" It really wasn't a question I could avoid–more of a statement seeking confirmation.
"Yes." Junior twitched at the memory. I'm sure she caught it and the flash of lust in my eyes.
"That's all your going to say, isn't it?"
"Yep." I said with a grin. She hit me. What is it with the women in my life hitting me today?
"So, be careful is what you're saying." She smiled in acceptance of my story and a hint of something to hold over me later.
"It applies to anything. Either don't care and carefully construct a persona like Rosalee, or be discreet and only hang with people you know you can trust like Maureen does. Katie couldn't deal with it. Her protests of being a virgin were scoffed at."
"Why?" We shared a moment of pain for Katie–a moment of compassion. Our eye language translations were improving.
"My guess is that people want to believe the nasty rumors. It makes their lives more interesting." We shared a look that pledged never to be like that nor fall for it.
"Luis?" I looked deep into her eyes, again–a simply wonderful place. I'd rather be looking at her eyes than my favorite place in the universe–Barnard 33, the Horsehead Nebula. I love her eyes. "Will you love me if I turn into a slut?"
"As in you're gonna love sex and want it a lot, or you're gonna love sex and be indiscriminate?" I kept my eyes on her watching the play of emotions run through her.
"As in will you love me if I like sex too much?" I'm positive she could see the joyous laughter in my eyes.
"Becca, I think I love you. I don't know, but it feels like it. It's kind of new for me." She smiled and nodded. I knew she meant it was new for her and she shared my concerns. Outside our world, I'm sure there were the usual morning announcements as we worked on the eye language problem. We didn't hear them. "I do know that I will have very deep feelings for you no matter what. As for you loving sex a lot – I'm a guy!"
"Thank you. I think you know I feel the same way. About the feelings, that is." She paused. Her eyes showed a thousand stories, and then cleared. Bright and loving. She squeezed my hand sweetly. "I want you to enjoy yourself this week."
"What do you mean, Becca?"
"I want you to enjoy the Program and all the attention Junior gets. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to give you relief, during school, this week." That hit me. But, looking in her eyes, I knew it wasn't because she didn't want to.
"Why?" I asked softly.
"That should be private. Between us. Maybe in other circumstances, but not during class. Just don't forget me." I could see she was thinking about the Art, just as I was.
"How could I?" Her smile and her eyes were the kiss I needed at that moment. And, all I was going to get in homeroom! "Even Art?"
"Okay–one exception." She squeezed my hand and we both chuckled. Junior started to join the conversation. Her nipples were paying attention as well.
"I want you to enjoy yourself as well. Please?"
"Let me get past being uncomfortable in the halls, first! Plus, get past that dream I had." Her eyes held determination with just a hint of uncertainty.
"Fair enough! Do you want me with you in the halls?"
"Please." I could see in her eyes she wanted me to be with her and help her but not keep things from happening. Just help her through it all. "I'm hoping something will happen in the showers after PE." She said that very softly. I could see in her the frustration from yesterday and her dream this morning. I smiled at her and we squeezed hands.
The bell rang. Becca gave me a quick, discreet kiss, and pulled me out of my seat towards the door. She was quick enough that we got all the way into the hall before the first request came.
"Pose for us, Rebbecca?" She let go of my hand, handed me her bags, put a painted smile on her face, and her hands on her hips. She opened her legs a bit and thrust out her chest. I could see the worry in her eyes, but I smiled at her and she got lost in my eyes. Everyone played nice, and played nicely with her titties and that magnificent ass. It was enough to bring Junior to full mast–in a hurry. Soon, he had his share of hands worshiping him. I was too lost to notice if requests had been made and whether or not I responded. Everyone said thanks and drifted off to their next class. She took my hand again, gave me a small smile, and we headed down the hall.
"How was that?" I asked.
"It was… okay, I guess." She walked a few more steps. "Did it bother you?"
I sorted through what I was feeling. "Well, I have to admit that seeing you being touched excited me." I pointed down to Junior, still leading the way. "Yeah, it did bother me a little."
"Hmm… Part of it was that I wasn't the one doing the touching." I sorted through all the feelings–some of them quite new. "And there was a little pang of jealousy." I got a huge, wet kiss for that. I delivered her to her classroom leaving her with a quick kiss and a pat on the butt. I walked to AP Calculus. That's when it hit me; she's in Biology. Everyone knew the myths and stories about Program participants and Biology. Would she be able to handle that today? Oh, shit! Could I handle it? Double Shit!

Seven Pieces Of Advice To Use For Research Paper Writing
Research paper writing can be very typical for some people especially if you do not know where to start. However, this article will give you some tips to make it easier to handle in the future. These of seven important tips will discuss various topics from what to write about up to how you can conclude your paper. These tips are as follows:
Helpful Writing Tips
- First, you have to know what your topic is all about. Since this is a new research project, it is important that you find out everything that you can about the topic that will be given to you even before you start writing.
- In addition to this, it is important that you are able to give evidence to the claims that your study might make along the way. Proof is the backbone of any kind of study. Therefore, you should make an effort to prove your claims as soon as possible.
- Your third tip has to do with the writing style itself. Expository papers normally take a formal tone when it comes to the style. Also, use the third person to refer to any individual and even yourself when writing your paper. This will increase the formality of the document.
- Aside from this, you should also be able to keep it straight to the point. Do not linger on any related topics when writing your paper. This will keep it short and straightforward, which will provide you with more space to discuss the salient points of the study.
- Additionally, it is important that you are able to get as many respondents were your study as possible. This way, you will be able to gather sufficient if not more reliable data for your exposition in the future.
- Furthermore, you have to make sure that you use reliable and authentic sources as well. Do not just get information from any website that you see online. Make it a point to verify the information first before using it in your study. This will lend credibility to your study even more for sure.
- Lastly, you should be able to percent your day that in the most orderly fashion possible. Using graphs and charts for the empirical data can definitely count for presentation. You should make it a point to keep it as clear and concise as well.
By doing all these tips, you will be able to create a research paper that will be worth a second look for sure. You will not only be able to help yourself in terms of fulfilling the requirements for the course. You will also be able to educate others about your chosen topic more extensively.

Featured Certification
Signifies that a product is made by a company that adheres to the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals, developed by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a coalition of animal protection groups. The CCIC's purpose is to promote a "cruelty-free" standard and logo. NOTE: Some companies will label products "cruelty-free" or "not tested on animals". Unfortunately, this is not always true. The problem is that "cruelty-free" is not clearly defined by law, so it can be used to mean just about anything a manufacturer wants it to mean.

Flo's V8 Cafe is located on deck eleven towards the forward of the ship. Because this is on the main open deck near the pools, and because its the only option where you can just walk up in your bathing suit, this place can get pretty mobbed. Cabanas is located near here as well, but if you're just looking for quick efficient food between dips in the pool, this is your best bet.
Flo's is set up in three bays, ala Cosmic Rays at the Magic Kingdom. But don't let that turn you off. This restaurant is extremely efficient, considering there is no payments involved. The different pods are "themed" to a different Cars character and (kind of?) reflect in the menu served...
Luigi's Pizza is a pretty obvious choice for theming. There are usually three or four pizzas available at a time in the window available by the slice. During our seven night cruise the vegetarian options remained consistently margarita pizza and veggie pizza. This not real pizza by any stretch of the imagination, but its not nearly as bad as the stuff still served at Pizzafari or Pizza Planet. And if you're truly exhausted from a busy day this will hit the spot.
Tow Mater Grill is the next lightly themed bay. Obviously there needs to be a quick service burger place on board, and this fits the bill nicely. There is a veggie burger option that is not unlike the ubiquitous Walt Disney World version. In fact, in a blind taste test I'd be hard pressed to tell them apart. There is a small toppings bar located here as well...nothing like Pecos Bills, but a nice option. The french fries are the same as WDW as well, by which I mean delicious.
Appearing at Tow Mater's at random times throughout the cruise was a Mickey shaped pretzel. This is NOT the same as the Disney parks version...or maybe they were just old? These were a big disappointment. Even the plastic cheese sauce wasn't the same. Watery and flavorless it couldn't save the bland pretzel.
Fillmore's Favorites is the third and final bay. Fillmore is the resident hippie in the Cars universe, and a "healthy" option is obvious. This means a lot of wraps, sandwiches, and salads. For vegetarians there is a yummy greek salad wrap. Inside was plenty of feta cheese, kalamata olives, tomatoes and lettuce with a light dressing. I really enjoyed these, although I might be biased because lettuce is my favorite food and there was PLENTY of lettuce. You can order one small section, or as many as you care to enjoy.
This station also includes a very convenient and awesome fresh fruit selection if you're looking for a healthy snack to bring back to our lounge chair. I was surprised at the amount of people eating fruit on a cruise, as opposed to the unlimited soft serve ice cream found mere steps away. Good job people! Keep it up...
In addition to the main items on the respective menus, each bay tended to have a special of the day as well. However, not once during our cruise were any of the specials vegetarian friendly, which was kind of a bummer. I'd like to see a little bit more diversity in that regard. Flo's V8 Cafe remains a solid vegetarian option, especially for families. This place is also open very late, and hits the spot after a long evening traversing the gigantic ship.

I'm watching this particular championship game in my grandparents' basement. It's the room that still holds my shrieks of joy from Easter 2008.
Now I shriek, but it ain't joy. I think even Dad's a little surprised at my intensity about this game in which I should be more of an innocent bystander. "This is not Davidson," he says gently when I scream an obscenity after the first last missed shot.
But wait but see but --
"Yes, it is," I say, matter-of-fact, air draining out of my lungs, numbers falling, reality hitting. Again.
Effing buzzer.
Well of course, it is and it isn't. The same as Davidson, I mean. Duh. It is all at once completely relatable (I love seeing the unflappable coach with his boyish boys and the deficit slimming down with slaps of the ball and slips to the basket. I love watching the crowd because even though I can't hear their individual screams and awestruck unintelligible conversations I know what it is to be in that crazy lightning storm of people. Seriously. It's like lightning strikes and thunder thunder thunder booming, unstoppable force.)
totally different. (My team. My school. My friends. My trustees. My history my future, so caught up in it from the inside that I couldn't see straight.)
I know this. They are not the same, nor should they be, from my personal perspective or from a wider one. But tonight I felt a deep, deep appreciation and desire for those boys and that team to WIN.THIS.GAME. Because I saw us in their faces and I heard us in their crowds. And I did not want the faces and the crowds to be silenced.
This time when the one-seed won, I could feel it immediately. I wasn't numb and it wasn't incomprehensible. Even -- especially? -- from the outside, it was real and it stung.
Now I'm listening to the first song I heard on the bus back from Detroit. And I think that the dollops of tears in my eyes are about two years overdue. Or actually -- maybe they're right on schedule. Because tonight, the sweet looking beamish boys from Indiana lost by two rimmed out points to the team my little brother taught me to despise. Two years ago, the biggest possibility stopped being possible far too quickly (16.8 --> 0.0), the hilarious and beautiful journey cut short. College basketball is done for another season, which sucks regardless of who wins (and Jennifer Hudson butchered "One Shining Moment"). And I'm trying not to feel like the end of college is slipping through my fingers, launched in haste to beat the buzzer.
(How do I dribble out the clock? When do I take the last shot?)
It's like lightning. And thunder. You keep looking and listening for it even when the rain is past, and the skies seem suddenly empty without it.
(But then things grow because of it, I guess. Plants and stuff. And people. And stories.)

I met Brit blogger Doug Shaw in April. He is a very interesting guy. Blogger, speaker, musician and an advocate for Stop Doing Dumb Things. He is the host of this late May version of the Carnival of HR. Doug asked contributors to submit in two categories. The first was BEGINNINGS. He wanted bloggers to discuss how things get started. He got some interesting posts.
The second section was entitled "Other crap we can't bother to categorize" (actually being a Brit he spelled it categorise). I contributed to this one along with some other notable bloggers. Some very good posts here.
All of this good HR reading will lead you into the Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S. If you have a rainy weekend you can keep yourself entertained. So go to The Carnival of HR – Beginnings and get a wealth of great information.
BTW, a note of appreciation to a fellow blogger and HR maven. Jessica Miller-Merrill is a resident of Moore, OK. Her house was just one block from the path of destruction left by the tornado in that town. He has spent her time and her network helping to coordinate efforts to help people left without a home or belongings. Check out her post on Surviving Moore.

How to Wear Short Hairstyles
The Bob
What's New: The bob doesn't have to look so perky. "These days, the cookie-cutter bob is not the only option," says Gibson. "It's all about movement, body, and embracing what you're comfortable with." For conservative types, wear this style one length all around. For an edgier look, try the graduated bob (shown here), which is shorter in the back and gets progressively longer in the front. What always defines this cut, though, is keeping it well above the shoulders.
How To:
1. Apply a volumizing product, such as Tresemme Big Boost Root Lift Spray, $4, to wet hair, concentrating on the area closest to the scalp.
2. Coat the rest of strands with a styling spray that protects hair from heat. We like Ellin Lavar ThermMist, $8. Then separate into small sections and blow-dry, using a round brush to add body and fullness.
3. Finish with a spritz of light-hold hair spray, like Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper, $16.50 — it smoothes strands without stiffening.
Ted's Tip
"The new looks are all about shaping the hair," says Gibson, who cut the eye-catching looks on these models. "You've seen these styles before, but they are back with more freedom and a sexy playfulness." He adds, "And I don't know any woman who doesn't want to feel sexy." We couldn't agree more.
The Crop
What's New: "Women are finally starting to embrace this stronger, cutting-edge look," says Gibson. There are two keys to pulling off today's cropped cut: proportion and imperfection. You don't want it to be the same length all around — let one side fall a bit to give it that haphazard feel. And make sure the hair has lots of texture. To style, tousle with fingers in various directions. The edges should look undone and not super straight, so it won't be mistaken for a crew cut.
How To:
1. Grown-out hair color is even more noticeable on short styles. Keep your shade strong with a color-enhancing shampoo, such as Wella Professionals Color Preserve Smoothing Shampoo, $13.
2. Add volume to wet strands by scrunching in a dollop of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam, $14, starting at your roots.
3. Finish by sculpting with a styling wax or pomade. Redken Electric Wax 11, $17, works well to maintain shine.
The Shag
What's New: Unlike the severe style that characterized the '70s, the latest shag is more blended, less choppy. "It's the most wearable real-life cut because there are so many variations," says Gibson. The surefire way to avoid a dated look: Keep layers on top and don't let hair get too long in the back (the extra length would make this cut feel too retro). Instead, it's more organic, with layers flowing into one another.
How To:
1. Since volume and texture are important for this cut, keep hair healthy with a deep-conditioning, reparative mask once or twice a week. Try Biolage Fortetherapie Intensive Strengthening Masque, $16.
2. Short hair requires some lift at the roots. Build it with Aussie Instant Freeze Sculpting Gel, $3, to create movement as you blow-dry.
3. Lock in your look with Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hair Spray, $25 — just a shot on the ends will do. The light formula lets you apply and brush through easily.
