Okay enough with the lessons on Bravest Warriors and let's move forward to moving on to some other popular game characters from Animal Crossing. More and more people are giving me requests to make lessons on specific characters from the game. To start I will show you "how to draw Gracie", step by step. Gracie is a giraffe that has a lot of attitude, style and grace. She likes to stroll by villages that are underdeveloped because it is there that she can hand out some fashion savoy sense when it comes to clothing or furniture. Behind the scenes she is also a very assertive gal that knows how some folks talk about her. She doesn't let negativity stand in the way of how she lives life. Drawing Gracie from Animal Crossing will be a very colorful task. You will end up with a stylish giraffe that is ready to take on the world. Have fun and remember to keep those requests rolling in.

It's been nearly a year since singer Jenni Rivera passed away in a tragic plane crash, but her voice is still very much present in the Latin music world.
On Wednesday, Oct. 9, Rivera was posthumously awarded seven times at the 2013 Billboard Mexican Music Awards at the Dolby Theater in L.A. The late 43-year-old star won more awards than any other artist--including Artist of the Year, Female. Her final album, La Misma Gran Seora (which was released one week after her Dec. 9, 2012 death), nabbed album of the year.
NEWS: More details about Jenni Riveara and the tragic plane crash that killed all six onboard
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
These aren't the first accolades the Mexican-American singer has been awarded posthumously. On Apr. 25 at the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards, she was nominated for 18 awards and won six of them--more than any other artist that night. Her La Misma Gran Seora won Album of the Year, and she also was awarded Artist of the Year, which her parents and two of her children accepted on her behalf.
Shortly after her death, the mom of five was remembered by her family, friends and fans at a memorial service in L.A. Jenni's then 21-year-old son, Michael, noted in his eulogy, "We're not here to mourn the death. We're here to celebrate the life and graduation of a singer, an entertainer, a diva, a fighter, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and more than anything, a mother. The best mother."
Her youngest son, Johnny, gave a heartfelt tribute to his mom, saying, "I only had 11 short years with my mom. But it's a real honor to say that Jenni Rivera is my mom. That she still lives in me...This is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life, but I am happy to say my mother has moved on and she's finally happy."

This was very good and easy. My husband liked it too. I added the parmesan cheese at the beginning since the instructions don't say.
Oct 12, 2010
This was SO good. My husband and I both loved it. Wasnt sure what to do with the parm cheese because the instructions dont say when to add it. So I just put all the indredients (including the cheese) and the squash in a ziploc and shook it to coat the squash. Sprayed a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and put the coated squash on it. Worked out great! Flipped the squash half through cooking.
Feb 15, 2010
I started with frozen, partially thawed cubes of squash. Afer adding all but the cheese I baked it for 20 minutes, and then added parmesan and baked for 10 minutes longer. It turned out great! Using less squash like I did (4 c) but keeping the same amounts of everything else worked just fine, but gave it more of a garlicky kick, which I didn't mind a bit, since I'm a big garlic fan, but next time I would go with 6 cups of squash.

Was it a mistake? As the global commodity boom disintegrated over the past eight months and the wisdom of decisions made when the going was good has increasingly been called into question, that is something many industry executives have been asking themselves. Some strategic moves made at the height of the bubble, such as Rio Tinto's $38.1-billion acquisition of Alcan, have been proved to be all-but-disastrous for the buyer; others, notably BHP Billiton's aborted bid for Rio, nearly so.
But what about the wisdom of a couple of other raw material acquisitions—Steel Dynamic Inc.'s $1.1-billion purchase of scrap processor OmniSource Corp. and Nucor Corp.'s $1.44-billion buy of its main scrap broker, David J. Joseph Co.? Both were made just as the commodity feeding frenzy was at its height and the "supercyle" theory of continuous growth was really taking hold. And while the sums of money involved may have fallen far short of those in the multi-billion-dollar deals mentioned above, both acquisitions were almost certainly based on the assumption that scrap prices would remain at levels far above those seen today.
In other words, the mills overpaid, as one industry analyst notes in this month's cover feature. But asked whether the rationale behind the acquisitions has been proved to be wanting, analysts respond with a cautious "no"—or, at least, "not in the long term." The mills may have paid too much, but the assets weren't bought for short-term gain—they were bought in order to support the mills' longer-term needs for raw material supplies and, perhaps, as profit centers in the future. When the steel and scrap markets shake off the current downturn and return to something closer to normality (read insatiable Chinese demand, a weak dollar and a scramble for global raw material supply), the acquisitions may once again look like a smart move.
One industry source even draws a parallel between the purchases of OmniSource and DJJ and moves made by the Chinese government to secure its own supplies of raw materials, given that China is increasingly being seen as a relative winner in the downturn that could be taken as high praise—although there a couple of big differences. Beijing doesn't have shareholders to answer to, and many of its biggest acquisitions, such as the recent move by its state-owned aluminum producer to buy a chunk of Rio Tinto, have come after asset values declined from their wildly overblown peaks of 2007 and 2008.
The uncertainty over the extent and duration of the global recession looks set to be with us for some time. But even if there can be no definitive answers for a while yet, the question remains was it a mistake for Nucor and SDI to shell out $1-billion-plus apiece for scrap suppliers just as the commodity bull market was entering its final stage?
Unfortunately, the people who are best-placed to answer this question—the top executives at Nucor and SDI who masterminded the acquisitions—aren't commenting. Perhaps they don't feel the need to justify decisions for which they already laid out a rationale at the time of purchase. But a lot's changed in the past year, and many assumptions that were considered almost unquestionable at the height of the boom have since fallen by the wayside. Any time those executives want to revisit the issue, we're pretty sure there will be a ready audience waiting to hear what they have to say.

Kiel kindergarten classrooms will welcome student teachers from South Korea next fall thanks to an agreement with Lakeland College.
Lakeland and Koje College in Geoje, South Korea, signed an agreement earlier this month creating a Global Internship Program.
Students from Koje's Early Education Department will come to Lakeland in August 2014 to take English classes and have two opportunities to interact with local children.
The first Koje cohort, which will include four students, will volunteer in Lakeland's daycare during August and September. Then, in October and November, they will volunteer half-days in kindergarten classrooms at Zielanis Elementary School in Kiel.
The program is expected to continue on a yearly basis.
Jen Siebert, Lakeland's director of international programs, said Koje has a need for teachers, and due to the international makeup of the region, speaking English is important.
"These internships will give Koje students an opportunity to use their English skills in American classrooms, which will be invaluable experience when they graduate," Siebert said. "We reached out to our contacts at Zielanis Elementary and they were enthusiastic about welcoming these students into their classrooms. These internships will be valuable international experiences for all involved."
The agreement was signed at Koje in early November during a week-long visit to South Korea by Siebert and Lakeland Interim President Dan Eck.
Lakeland and Koje initially signed a sister school agreement in 2008, which was renewed during this recent visit. Under the agreement, accounting students from Koje can finish the final two years of their bachelor's degree at Lakeland. Also, each summer, Koje sends students to participate in Lakeland's English Language Institute (ELI).
Eck and Siebert also visited Ansan University in Ansan, a suburb of Seoul. Lakeland and Ansan have had a sister school agreement since 2006.
Like Koje, each summer Ansan sends students to Lakeland's ELI. Lakeland sends up to six students to Ansan each July to participate as conversation partners at Ansan's English Camp. Last fall, four Ansan students participated in an internship program at Lakeland, enrolling in the ELI and working in on-campus departments.

Sleep Disorders and Deprivation
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2010), over 25 percent of Americans experience occasional sleep deprivation. For some, disrupted sleep results from the hectic nature of modern lifestyles. For others, serious sleep disorders affect both rest and health.
Sleep disorders often go undiagnosed. Although most people know that eight hours of sleep per night is desirable, few people know much about sleep disorders, and tend to dismiss sleep problems as unimportant. Popular culture often undercuts the need for sleep disorders treatment. Sayings such as "I'll sleep when I'm dead" suggest lack of sleep is an unavoidable part of modern life. In actual fact, sleep plays a vital role in health and wellness.
About Sleep Disorders and Health
Sleep disorders increase the risk of serious and chronic health conditions, including depression, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Untreated sleeping disorders can also negatively affect treatment outcomes for these diseases.
Drowsy Driving
It's difficult to judge the effect disrupted sleep has on accident rates, but drowsy driving is a factor in many motor vehicle and heavy machinery accidents. The National Sleep Foundation (2010) reports 60 percent of American adults drive while sleepy every year, and that an alarming 37 percent admit to falling asleep while driving.
Types of Sleeping Disorders
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (n.d.), 81 different sleeping disorders exist. Some are more common than others. Examples of sleeping disorders include:
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Night terrors
- REM sleep behavior disorder
- Restless leg syndrome
- Sleep apnea
- Sleepwalking
- Snoring
- Teeth grinding, or bruxism.
Popular beliefs about sleep disorders are sometimes misleading. Many people don't think of snoring as a sleep disorder, for instance, but snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, which causes breathing interruptions during sleep and can result in serious health complications or death.
Signs of a Sleeping Disorder
Identifying a sleeping disorder can be difficult, as few people know much about these conditions. As noted above, people often accept sleep deprivation or insomnia as the price of living in a hectic world, and rarely consider that an underlying sleeping disorder may be causing sleep disruptions.
Possible signs of a sleeping disorder include excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, irritability, difficulty thinking and snoring. People who have difficulty falling asleep, wake frequently, wake too early or fall asleep very quickly may also benefit from sleep disorders treatment.
Sleep Disorders Treatment
Sleep disorders treatment depends on the nature of the sleeping disorder and may include medication, changes to sleep habits and even surgical procedures. Sleep apnea may be treated with devices that deliver a steady stream of air to the lungs.
Sleep disorders treatment restores normal sleep patterns and helps prevent the many health complications associated with sleeping disorders. Increasing public knowledge about sleep disorders helps people understand the need for sleep disorders treatment. Excessive sleepiness is a warning sign of possible health problems, not an unavoidable result of modern life.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners goes on attack against Jeffco GOP, two Senate contenders
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, known for going after fellow Republicans it doesn't believe are conservative enough, is on the attack again, this time against two legislative candidates and Jefferson County GOP.
In a Facebook post, the strident gun rights groups claims that the Jefferson County Republican Party is turning away volunteers who don't support three RMGO-endorsed Senate candidates in Jeffco. The post also claims that the party is playing favorites with two other GOP Senate candidates, Mario Nicolais and Lang Sias.
"That's not true at all," said Bill Tucker, chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party. "I have made it very clear to the executive committee that I will will not have favorites. Any candidate who puts their neck out there deserves our respect."
The Facebook post is a lie, said Nicolais, adding that should come as no surprise. Nicolais has long been critical of the gun group's tactics and its director, Dudley Brown, a controversial figure for some Republicans.
Brown in an e-mail said that "Mario would be on the left side of the GOP caucus on gun issues. He'd be the first Republican to squish … ."
"Our PAC will always work to elect solid pro-gun votes rather than weak votes," he said.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University senior Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) headed home a cross from classmate Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) with just 29.4 seconds left in regulation tonight to lead the Judges past visiting Vassar College and into the third round of the NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Tournament. With the win, the Brandeis men join their counterparts on the women's side in the Sweet 16 as they improve to 18-2-1 on the season. Vassar sees its campaign come to a close at 13-5-3. The Judges will move on to face Williams College in the Sweet 16 next weekend on Saturday, November 17, at Amherst College.
The game-winning exchange started at midfield. Sophomore back Robbie Lynch (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) fired a long throw-in from midfield to Russo. The ball bounced once, and Russo took a touch to the right side of the 18-yard box. He fired a cross that Ocel was able to get a head on to redirect past the outstretched arms of Vassar goalkeeper Ryan Grimme.
"It's the best feeling in the world," Ocel said about scoring such a dramatic goal.
"Out of the corner of my eye I saw him, and he was unmarked for whatever reason so I tried to put it in his area and he made a really nice finish," added Russo.
Ocel's game-winning goal capped a frantic final 13 minutes that saw the teams move back and forth across the field. The game got even more frenetic in the final six minutes, when Vassar denied a Brandeis corner at the 83:57 mark. The Brewers' clearance turned immediately into a corner of their own less than a minute later. The visitors had a fine opportunity when senior Zander Mrlik, who scored the game-winner in Vassar's 1-0 win over Tufts last night, leapt and got a head on the ball, but Judge junior midfielder Kyle Feather (Pinebrook, N.J./Montville Township) was there to clear the ball off the line with a header of his own. Said Brandeis keeper Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) of the play, "[Mrlik] just made a great play on the ball, but when it went past me I knew Feather had it. That's why we put someone on the post."
Ocel had the game's next shot as the clock crept under five minutes left in regulation, but VC's Ryan Grimme came up with his seventh save of the night. After the teams sent the ball back and forth, the game-winning exchange took place. The goal was Ocel's 13th of the season, nine of which have been game-winners. He has scored the game-winning goal in Brandeis's last three games and five of the last six.
Both teams had opportunities to break the deadlock throughout the rest of the contest, including a pair of goals that were negated by offsides calls. In the first half for Vassar, the Brewers were flagged in the 43rd minute. A long throw-in by Nick Hess was headed by Mlrik through the box to sophomore forward Tom Wiechert, who was ruled to be offside before his ensuing header found the back of the net. Three minutes into the second half, it was the Judges who were burned when Russo hit the far post and Feather was flagged despite his redirection into the goal.
Both goalkeepers were outstanding, with Grimme making seven saves in the losing effort and Brandeis senior Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) with three. Grimme opened the game with a fine stop on Feather in the second minute, batting a strike from the top of the box over the crossbar. Minchoff's top save came in the 31st minute when he dove and got his chest in front of a blast from Simon Whitelaw, who put the ensuing rebound wide. The Judges also had another defensive save off a corner in the 20th minute, when sophomore Matt Brondoli (Durham, N.C./Durham School of the Arts) denied Mrlik.
Brandeis advances to the Sweet 16 in their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1985. The Judges had not won an NCAA tournament game since 1984, when they reached the national finals.
Said 40-year head coach Mike Coven of his squad, "I'd be hard pressed to say there's a team I've enjoyed more than this one. Theire love for one another and passion for the game makes them really special and I'm very happy for them. I've had the championship team, a couple Final Four teams, the ECAC championship team last year, but this team's real special."

Development Environments - Optimizing for Developer Happiness
The longer you practice something, the more you start identifying the really important stuff about it. One such thing is what makes you perform better and what hold you back. Being forced to use a tool for the job that you have no or little experience of will most likely hold you, your efficiency, focus and developer happiness back.

I need help getting an agentPut together a professional pitch that will get agents interested in your project
I want you to publish my bookPublish properly with a trusted, proven partner with a track record of success
I want to be my own publisherSelf-publish the right way: use your own your ISBN and keep 100% of your profits
Our Clients Say It Best …
I finally got a response from Huffington Post, and they invited me to blog for them! For me, it feels like a huge success, especially after hearing agents speak about how important a platform is if you want to land a publishing deal. Finding Wheatmark was a great step for me, and you have all been so very helpful.
I liked the screening process that took place. Wheatmark seemed intent on publishing a quality book and not just accepting my work because I was writing a check. Their interest in the book's commercial viability resonated with me. Other companies just discussed packages and pricing, caring little for my topic.
I felt a whole team was behind me. And, Wheatmark made me go back to school to review publishing, marketing and selling. I like this because I've been published by MacMillan and I've never had this type of detailed attention to the whole process geared at making me better at all aspects of getting my book ready for the public.

Buy—Sell Agreements
by RUDOLPH J. ENGLERT Partner, New York Office
Presented before the Thirteenth Annual West Kentucky Conference on Accounting, Kentucky Dam—May 1964
NOT BEING an attorney, I cannot tell you how to draft a buy and sell agreement, our topic for discussion today. However I should like to discuss with you some of the problems and decisions that must be made before a buy and sell deal can be consummated. Let us start at the point where two parties have just agreed to buy and sell and disregard the numerous reasons why some companies wish to sell and why others are looking for companies to acquire.
The first problem to be solved is the determination of the sales price—if a cash transaction, the amount of cash; if a stock transaction, the exchange ratio. Usually financial analysts are engaged to study the companies and submit reports suggesting the price or exchange ratio. Among the factors they consider are:
• Earnings
• Dividends
• Market values
• Book values
• Growth pattern.
Management reviews the reports after they are received and considers
various other factors such as:
• Caliber of the management of the company being acquired
• Advantages of the services of an established sales or research organization
• Peculiar features if any of the company being acquired.
After all factors have been considered and management has arrived at its conclusions, the final price or exchange ratio is determined by negotiation between the managements of the two companies.
The next problem to be resolved is the form of the deal to be consummated.
It may be in the form of:
• cash or stock

Lovely recipe - these taste delicious. I had classic case of 'not the right ingredients but have already started' and I used sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Also used mixed nuts as opposed to just hazelnuts. I'm going to try different things next time as it appears to be such a versatile recipe. I agree about the sugar - they are quite sweet and I think you could easily get away with half that amount.
2nd Jul, 2015
Halved the sugar and didn't notice, next time will omit completely. I lined the tin with grease proof paper and buttered it, also leave it longer to cool. I used cashews as didn't have hazelnuts, also added dried cranberries instead of coconut. Each time I change it slightly, depending on what I have in the cupboard They were fine after 3 weeks - forgot there was one left!
2nd Sep, 2012
I make these every week and use low fat olive oil spread instead of butter and honey instead of syrup. I miss out the cinnamon and the suggested seeds and replace halve the nuts with mixed seeds that you can buy in packets from the supermarket. I also add diced dried apple and cranberries- they are delicious warm, but just a nice throughout the week as a snack.

- "Volubilis Potion is one of my favourites! Some people just use it to play tricks on others to change their voices... which seems a waste of a good potion to me."
- —Potions Club girl[src]
Volubilis Potion is a potion that alters the drinker's voice. It will also restore their voice if they have lost it, and thus will end the effects of the Silencing Charm.[1]
During the 1996-1997 school year Harry Potter was required to brew this potion to gain entry into the potions club. He wanted to use the club to brew a Shrinking Solution to help him get Ginny Weasley to go with him to Hogsmeade.[1]
To brew this potion, one has to heat the initial mix of ingredients until it turns red, then green. Next, the potion-maker has to add Honeywater until the liquid turns pink. The brew has to be heated again, this time until it turns orange. When mint sprigs are added, the potion turns into a shade of green. The potion has to be heated once more, until it turns blue. Then, more mint sprigs are to be added. By this time the potion should be have turned pink again. Stewed Mandrake is to be added next, at which point the potion turns orange. A small amount of Syrup of Hellebore should be added next, turning the potion blue. To finish the brew, one has to heat the potion until it's red and heat it some more until it turns a pleasant yellow. Once finished, the potion should release some sparks.[1]

Summit County Fishing Report: Fishing slow in frozen water
The Blue River below Dillon Reservoir is seeing heavy traffic, especially on weekends. Light tippets, 5x-7x, are in order. Most are using mysis shrimp and midge patterns. Under cloud cover, look for rising fish. Once you get further downstream, standard mayfly nymphs will also work.
Downstream, Green Mountain Reservoir continues to produce a smaller lake trout and occasionally a larger specimen. Tube jigs are popular, but spoons such as Kastmasters or Daredevils will also work on occasion. Though most lake trout are found in deeper water, more than 30 feet, fishing shallow with smaller jigs has a good chance of producing rainbows.
South Park's Antero Reservoir is slow fishing. Fishing bait tight to the bottom will produce a few trout and suckers. Once the edges soften in a few weeks, putting fresh water into the system, look for things to pick up. A better bet – and it's not hot – is nearby Eleven Mile Reservoir. Some successful anglers have been using micro jigs in 5-10 feet of water. Tipping them with meal or wax worms is recommended. The best action is reportedly early, with many calling it a day around lunch.
Granby Lake has several inches of snow coating over a foot of ice. Lake trout continue to be the draw here, although a surprising number of them are coming from fairly shallow water, less than 30 feet and near shore, which is typically rainbow trout domain. Though most of the fish are in the lower 20-inch range, persistent anglers are managing an occasional fish in the 30-inch class. Tubes tipped with sucker meat are the mainstay of most anglers, but jigging Rapalas or similar lures are also a good option.
Editor's note: Dave Coulson is the Colorado state editor for FishExplorer.com. He contributes a weekly fishing report to the Summit Daily News. For more local and regional fishing info, visit http://www.fishexplorer.com.

I'm working on a project that includes a lot of creating/manipulating and reading JSONObjects and arrays but not in a systematic way. So there is JSON code everywhere.
It is ok for me except that every time I work on a JSONObject I got to handle JSONException.
So I created a class that extends JSONObject and Override the put/get methods in it and handled JSONExceptions inside this class.
It made my code way much clearer and I believe it is more than enough for my case.
What do you think?

10 Things I've been Doing Lately
29 July 2007 by Mathias Meyer
- Integrating Ferret, a very nice search engine for Ruby, in a project with acts_as_ferret.
- Learning ten finger typing.
- Writing an article about one of my favorite clothing labels, New Zealand based Huffer, for the magazine of two friends.
- Been hiking though snowy mountains in Norway on my summer holiday.
- Reading "RESTful Web Services" by Leonard Richardson and Sam Ruby. A highly recommended book on REST which I'm starting to like.
- Doing my first real-life project with the features of Java 5. That might sound a little ridiculous, but the clients using Java I worked for over the last year all used Java 1.4, mainly for political reasons or restrictions of the application server environment (WebLogic 8.2 is a no-go with Java 5).
- Finding more and more joy in photography, and at the same time starting to really like Lightroom.
- Playing with AP4R, an asynchronous job processor for Ruby and Rails. It looks like a very nice and more reliable way to do background tasks than BackgrounDRb. The latter now has a new maintainer by the way. Maybe that will bring the mostly stalled development back up to par.
- Working in my office. Something I really enjoy. Having a decent and quiet place to work in is important for a freelancer.
- Looking for a new mobile. In case you're wondering the iPhone doesn't appeal to me.

Adriaen Jansz. Ocker 1621/2 - c.1689
Email Inquiry
|Ask a question about this item
An Italianate landscape with a figure and his dog by a lake, a hill-town beyond
Oil painting on canvas 58.5 x 82 cm., and contained in a good mid-18th century carved and giltwood frame
Signed lower left corner "A Ocker"
Provenance: private collection Devon
The precise date of Ocker's birth is unknown, but he was born in Amsterdam, the son of the painter Jan Adriaensz Ocker (b.1586). He is documented as being 23 in November 1645 and again as 35 in 16561. He is last documented on 2nd June 1689, and is thought to have died soon afterwards. Works by him are very rare. This may be explained by his artistic style being close to that of better-known painters of the Italianate school, to whom his works have frequently been attributed. The RKD in the Hague, for instance, notes several paintings by him which have had bogus signatures attached to them of such well-known painters and contemporaries as the Haarlem-born Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem ( 1620-1683) and the Utrecht painter Willem de Heusch (1625-1692).
Like many of his fellow landscape painters, Ocker was swept up in the vogue for the Italianate style, with landscapes suffused with the Golden Light of the south: a stark contrast to the northern grey-and-brown duneland landscapes of van Goyen and the Haarlem school which held sway over Dutch taste in the 2nd quarter of the 17th century

The new No. 2 in Colorado craft beer by volume: Oskar Blues
[media-credit name="Oskar Blues" align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
The Gospel of the Can has been heard. And the people said, "Amen."
Oskar Blues, which has been canning its flagship Dales Pale Ale since 2002 and finally saw the rest of the industry catch on, has jumped past Odell Brewing to become the No. 2 craft brewery by volume in Colorado.
The Longmont-based brewery produced more than 59,000 barrels in 2011, up 40 percent over the previous year. Odell, which was founded almost a decade earlier, came in at just over 58,000 barrels, up 20 percent.
The undisputed king remains New Belgium of Fort Collins, at more than 712,00 barrels and about 8 percent growth. New Belgium will only grow larger with an imminent announcement of an East Coast brewery.

For Madeline
Madeline Spohr will be laid to rest today at 2:30 PST. My thoughts are with her family and her friends. I can't even wrap my brain around how difficult this must me - it leaves me gasping for breath to think about it.
If you haven't donated yet, please consider doing so. The March of Dimes page is here and the PayPal site, to help with hospital and funeral expenses, is here.
But Maddie isn't the only baby lost. Thalon Bruce Meyers died on April 12th. He wasn't quite four months old and once again, my heart breaks. A donation page has been set up for his family as well.
I don't know these families, but my heart hurts for them and my brain rages at the unfairness of it all.
But, on the other side of the coin is this tremendous outpouring of love, time and money for both families. Maddie's March of Dimes walk has raised nearly $30,000, just since last week. Thalon's PayPal account has received $3700 in donations since Monday. People are posting links and pictures and tributes to both children that are touching and heartfelt and raw. People are flying in for funerals and organizing walk-a-thon teams and aggregating links and photos and it's incredible. Simply incredible. Most of this was done via Twitter - you can check out the hash tags for #maddie and #thalon at Twitter.com - and done with a speed bordering on lightning. My mother dismisses things like Twitter and Facebook as a complete waste of time and they can be, but when tragedy strikes, it can also be an incredible place of comfort and friendship and solace. This is what the internet community looks like at its best. It's beautiful.

But you are very right, comfort at lightning speed is one of the best things about the internet.

" I got a nail in my tire due to construction at the work place. I went to BMW because it's super close by and I was in a hurry. I fully expected to pay out the you know what for a fancy tire, but was pleasantly surprised when my service advisor, Cody Garcia, got me the best tire possible for my price point.

" This dealership is great! My father was in the car business, and was a service director for BMW for years. I was very apprehensive to actually walk in the dealership and the fact that I just bought my first used BMW from another dealer I was scared I would be dismissed. This did not happen AT ALL! Cody Garcia my service advisor was phenomenal! He greeted me immediately. Gave me a complete tour of the dealership. You could tell he was very proud and had a lot of respect for the dealership and the personal touches of the owner displaying his own collection there was very welcoming. Cody listened to my fears since I had just been in a really bad car accident due to a tire blowout on the tollway, and this new car needed to be in tip top shape and covered completely. Cody went thru every page of my new warranty, we made a future plan of when we had to cover the vehicle with other warranties, which made me feel safe and comfortable and happy with my BMW purchase. The staff, the other employees were all very nice, and professional. And they treat each other nice too. I've been to the dealership for 2 scheduled maintenance services now and they are still wonderful. Consistent customer service is a quality that is priceless. I absolutely recommend this dealership, and recommend Cody Garcia as a service advisor. 5 star all the way! "

Lakeland College's main campus is buzzing as classes for the 2013-14 academic started on August 26. New students move to campus on August 22, and the college's 10 residence halls are once filled with activity.
The campus welcomed approximately 310 new students and the semester started with approximately 885 total students in the traditional campus program.
In addition to the new students, Lakeland welcomes several new faculty members this year as the college grows some of its most popular majors. Five faculty will begin teaching this fall in new positions, and four new faculty are filling positions left open due to faculty retirements or departures.
The academic year will formally begin with the opening convocation on Thursday, August 29. Wisconsin State Assemblyman Dale Kooyenga, a 2000 Lakeland graduate, will deliver the featured address at the annual event, which begins at 11 a.m. in the Bradley Theater.
New students were introduced Friday to a Lakeland tradition - the college's fifth annual "Building Bridges, Building Community" event, which gives new students an opportunity to meet and work with one another in a large-scale service effort that benefits several local organizations.
First-year students, joined by the college's student life staff and several faculty, spent a portion of the day at eight sites in the Sheboygan area performing volunteer tasks. The students got involved in painting, building, fixing and other work to help the community. This year's service sites were:
- Camp Anokijig
- Camp Evelyn
- Habitat Site 1 and 2
- Above & Beyond Children's Museum
- Salvation Army
- Sunnyside Townhomes
- Kohler-Andrae State Park
After a few hours of work, the groups met at Firemen's Park in Elkhart Lake for a cookout and celebration. "This was great, great for Lakeland College, the students and the community," said Josh Hill, a new Lakeland student from Schoolcraft, Mich. "It shows how much our school cares, and how Lakeland educates us in different ways. Most of us choose Lakeland because we know it's such a tight-knight community, and this is just one of many examples of that."

AILA Once Again Calls upon Secretary Napolitano and Congress to End the 287(g) Program
WASHINGTON, DC – A report released Friday by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG)—the second this year—found gross deficiencies and lack of oversight in the federal immigration enforcement program known as "287(g)," which allows local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws.
Earlier this year, the inspector general's first report regarding the 287(g) program came out with 33 recommendations. The critical nature of that report led the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to call for DHS to terminate the program. Now seven months later, this follow-up report has noted that 28 of those 33 recommendations are not remedied yet.
"Enough is enough. With this OIG follow-up report, DHS has shown it cannot bring this failed program into compliance. Over and over again it is being documented that 287(g) simply doesn't work and what better proof than an internal review that points out that the program is rife with problems," said David Leopold, President of AILA. "Its indefensible that, seven months after the OIG issued a scathing report, ICE still cannot verify that the 287(g) program is operating correctly or that it is using its funding as directed by Congress. The 287(g) remains deficient in supervision and oversight and just isn't good for America."
"Everyday that this program continues, DHS is eroding American values. A program like this severely undermines communities' faith in those charged with protecting us and keeping our streets, communities, and businesses safe."
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

Scholar & Synchronized Skater
Marlena Holter '15 spends her weekdays like most Barnard students—studying for an upcoming test, rushing to class, and hanging out with her suite mates. But by eight o'clock on Saturday mornings, she's spinning, jumping, and pivoting on the ice during a practice that lasts eight hours, with another eight-hour session on Sunday. Holter competes with the Skyliners Synchronized Skating Team, which draws skaters from the tristate area. She is part of the 19-member senior line, or division, which, along with the junior line, is a member of Team USA. The entire team of nine lines takes part in competitions throughout the country; junior and senior lines also compete internationally.
Holter started skating at age 7, after admiring the Olympic figure skaters she watched on TV. By high school, she was practicing 35 hours a week, leaving her house in Westchester at 5:15 AM to train before school, and returning to the ice after classes. "Skating became my entire life," she says. Holter's team won national championship titles in the junior and juvenile divisions in March 2011; she is headed to the Spring Cup, an international competition to be held in Milan in 2013.
Attending Barnard enables Holter to keep competing with the Skyliners, but in addition to 25 hours a week of skating, strength training, and ballet and acting classes as well as traveling to competitions, she is pursuing a major in neuroscience and doing research in the laboratory of biology professor John Glendinning. Her experiments deal with how mammals taste sugars, research that may shed light on humans and obesity. Most days find Holter at the lab conducting behavioral experiments and caring for the mice that are her subjects. "Marlena has to work incredibly hard to balance all of her academic and skating demands," says Glendinning. "What has impressed me most is that despite all these demands on her time, she manages to remain calm, focused, and cheerful."
Given her schedule, Holter often has to tell friends she can't meet them for a party or outing. "When we're out on the ice on a Saturday morning, we all know what we did last night—we went right to bed," she says. But the camaraderie of her teammates makes up for the missed parties. "There's something to be said for having 18 other people who completely understand what you're dedicating your life to. I've been skating with some of these girls since we were 8 years old," she adds.
After college, Holter plans to spend a year skating on a team in Finland before attending medical school. She was inspired to pursue medicine as a career after suffering a concussion while skating and being treated by a neurosurgeon. Ultimately, she hopes to practice sports medicine. "Marlena is a marvel," says Lisa Hollibaugh, Barnard's first-year class dean. "Any new student who dives into the neuroscience/pre-med track is challenged by the rigorous workload, and yet she has managed to adapt to her course load along with her full-time skating practice schedule, with fantastic results.
Her mother, Pat Holter, acknowledges that skating has helped her daughter develop impressive study habits. "The skaters all do well in school because of the discipline and time management they learn," she says. "Marlena has a tremendous level of endurance. She can do schoolwork for hours." Both parents have had to wake up at 5 AM on many days and sacrifice numerous weekends to drive Holter and her younger sister, also a synchronized skater, to practices and competitions. "It's such a special sport," says Pat Holter. "With both girls we did soccer, karate, and other activities, and this is what Marlena chose to do." She is a strong technical skater and serves as the senior-line captain, which requires her to call out the steps and provide support to her teammates.
Still, for all the demands of training and competing while handling a full course load, Holter says she is grateful for the opportunities skating has given her. "Stepping out on the ice at an international competition—not many people get to do that."

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kdon from Not made like it used to be I admit I've had this set for years, and I love the design, but we've been very disappointed in how fragile it is. I have several pieces with large chips in them that I've had to put out of service so someone doesn't cut themselves. My family in France has Pillivuyt white porcelain that is much older, but it's held up with daily use so much better than mine. For the price, I would have expected it to hold up better than it has.Date published: 2019-12-30Rated 5 out of 5 by SheLovestoCook from Modern style with elegance and simplicity I've wanted a new set of kitchen dinnerware to replace my mother's china that I've been using. Tried stoneware, too heavy and off to Goodwill it went. Purchased this set after a quick perusal of the W-S website, and since I already own/love four of Pillivuyt's very large pasta bowls w/rims, I was familiar with their quality. I opted for this set over the Basket because of the shape of the plate. It is virtually rimless, which means you have more space for food, yet because of the design, you don't have to worry about sauces and liquids, etc.or flatware falling off the plates. It's a very distinctive line, not too heavy. The size of the dinner plates are about 11" diameter, which means I have to configure my dishwasher loading a bit differently. The soup/pasta bowls are large enough for the hungriest eater, and I also use them as cereal bowls. Easy to clean, but like all porcelain, these are not dishes that have the bang around quality of stoneware. I don't treat mine with kid gloves, but more like fine china. These are great for singles, couples, adults, but would choose differently if I had children.Date published: 2017-09-30Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanity from And the winner is... Sometimes when you can't decide on a dinnerware set, you just have to order one set of each and try them out at home. We purchased one set of each of the Pillivuyt Coupe and Apilco Tuileries, since they were the most comparable in thickness and weight of the plain white sets. We ultimately decided on the Pillivuyt Coupe set. We really like the simple/modern lines, the diameter of the plates (a little smaller than the Apilco Tuileries), the overall weight and feel, and the shape of the pasta/soup bowl. My absolute favorite part of the set is the coffee cup/saucer. The size of the cup is so generous, and I really like the shape of the saucer and how it hugs the cup perfectly. However, we do prefer the Apilco Tuileries cereal bowls. The difference in the color of white between the two brands is hardly noticeable, and the thickness is pretty much the same between the two sets. We think we can get away with mixing and matching.Date published: 2015-12-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb10 from Beautiful dishes Beautiful looking, well balanced, lovely sheen. Something about basic white is classic, and one can mix and match with everything. These Pillivuyt are especially beautiful. I expect to have them for many, many years.Date published: 2014-12-19Rated 5 out of 5 by RooksterCookster from My Favorite New Place Settings My husband and I absolutely love this plate setting. From the plates to the mugs, everything works and looks great. My favorite of the set are the salad/pasta bowls. We eat a lot of both, and these are just a wonderful addition to have. How have I lived so long without these? Another great thing is, even though I've felt a few tiny scratches on the plates, I can't actually see them. It proves to me that regardless of what kind of damage the future kiddos do, they'll last and still look lovely. Another review commented about the thickness of the plates, but that's actually something we really love about them. To us, it means they'll last longer. Even though they're on the pricey side, they're worth it! I highly recommend buying them whenever WS is doing their 20% off + free shipping promotions.Date published: 2014-07-16Rated 3 out of 5 by Ginette24 from Pillivuyt Dinnerware Nice porcelain but I was expecting a thinner material. It takes a lot of room in the dishwasher. I do like the shape for certain meals .Love the cups for morning latte. Overall , I should have checked it out at a store before purchasing it because it is much heavier than I anticipated. The website makes the porcelain look much whiter than it actually is.Date published: 2013-08-13

Pharrell Williams will perform "Happy" at the Oscars, the show's producers said Tuesday.
Williams wrote and produced the peppy anthem for "Despicable Me 2." It's up for an original song statue, alongside "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," "Let It Go" from "Frozen" and "The Moon Song" from "Her." "Alone Yet Not Alone," the title track to an obscure Christian historical drama, was stripped of its nomination last week, after its writer, Bruce Broughton, got in trouble for illegal campaigning tactics.

In the past, the Oscars have usually presented performances from all the nominated songs on the Oscar show, but not always. Last year, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron — who are also producing this year's show — featured full performances of two of the nominated songs and a truncated performance of a third, dispensing with the last two nominees in film clips.
With the Academy for the first time staging a special Oscar-week concert devoted to the nominated scores and songs, speculation swirled that the songs might be removed entirely from this year's show — but that was before the Music Branch nominated songs performed by Pharrell, U2 (from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom"), Idina Menzel (from "Frozen") and Karen O (from "Her").
It's easy to see why featuring Williams would be a hit ratings-wise. He is one of the most prolific and successful producers and musicians working today, winning seven Grammy Awards and collaborating on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" which he co-wrote and produced and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
The Oscars, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, will air on Sunday, March 2, live on ABC.
