A month after all the office pools, breathless acceptance speeches and star-studded post-show parties, the Oscar telecast is rapidly becoming a fading memory. (Quick: What won for best picture?)
Nonetheless, the looks from the red carpet are entering their second act: Be they prom frocks inspired by the strapless Dior dress donned by Jennifer Lawrence, accessories that draw from Halle Berry's metallic Versace gown or spring tops in the myriad blush tones and creams seen on the parade of stars, mass market versions of Oscar couture are turning up in America's malls at chains from Sears to Forever 21.
One thing is clear: In the digital era, the sashay from the red carpet to the mall has gotten a lot faster these days, as images of stars draped in designer duds spread online in a nanosecond via blogs and social media sites.
Hence, big national chains can get a fast read on the looks that are most likely to sell to a mainstream audience.
"Immediate access to what people are 'liking' and responding to in real-time through new social media platforms shaves weeks off of our process and it allows us to adapt to the latest trends and provide our customers with what they want even more quickly," Linda Chang, marketing director for fast-fashion chain Forever 21, whose retail concept is built on churning out runway looks at bargain prices in a New York minute, told Forbes.
"With technology advancing every moment, fashion is moving at a nonstop pace," added Lubov Azria, chief creative officer of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP, which sells fashion brands BCBGMAXAZRIA and Hervé Léger by Max Azria in department stores and its own retail outlets worldwide.
Red Carpet Pink, Creams, Halter Tops Go Mass
"Because the Oscars set the bar for all red carpet fashion, mass audiences look to the red carpet for inspiration," Azria said.
"This season, pink was the most influential color on the carpet. Blush, corals, creams and reds dominated the scene with their feminine flushed hues draped on starlets in strapless and classic silhouettes …[These hues] will be reinterpreted by the mass."
Regarding cuts that ruled the red carpet, Chang pointed to strapless gowns and halter-tops as two "overriding trends" that will be picked up by the big national chains.
Oscar Splat Sparks Dior Copies
But it was Silver Linings Playbook best actress winner Jennifer Lawrence and her fall on her way to the stage that helped launch the knockoff dress of the season.
"Jennifer Lawrence donned the statement dress of the evening," Azria said. "Her fall on stage also had viewers gasping. I believe her dress will be the most inspired by the mass."
Sears, for one, is selling the Jump Apparel prom dress, which was directly inspired by Lawrence's Dior get up, for a mere $218.00.
"This strapless, ivory gown is adorned with a glitter print that mimics the crinkled effect of Jennifer's dress, as well as a full skirt," said a Sears spokeswoman.
But Lawrence's dress isn't the only frock destined to inspire mass-market fashion items.
"We will see small details taken from [other] gowns and interpreted into more wearable pieces," Forever 21's Chang said.
"The peplum waist detail from Charlize Theron's [Dior] gown will be illustrated in ready- to-wear pieces through dresses and top silhouettes. Also, the [Valentino] high apron-style front with the dramatic bare back, as seen on Anne Hathaway, may be interpreted through tops and dresses."
Forever 21 plans to use Halle Berry's gown as a reference point for items in its fall fashion line.
"We loved Halle Berry's bold, black gown with placed metallic, deco beading," Chang said. "These colors, shapes and layouts will work on a variety of key silhouettes for fall."

Much as I love your posts, and much as they have filled many gaps in a collection that has been developed for three and more decades, may I perhaps suggest that the reason why Jah Mike, Prince Nelson and Ranking Fisheye remain obscure is perhaps because they weren't very good?
Every era has its share of great stars (not always wholly inspired), lesser names and those who never hit the wider public consciousness, and who remain neglected by history. In the latter group, in the history of sixties/seventies Ja music some might place the Beltones, the Clarendonians, Larry & Alvin, and perhaps even Sir Lord Comic and Cool/Count Sticky.
However, there are a number of people whose obscurity is truly based upon limited talent, rather than simple ill-luck. Of the dozen or so new names (to me0 here, I doubt I'll want to hear more than two or three before.

@ the voice of reason:
A lot of artists also walked away from the scene/their carrier because they were simply not payed at all. Jamaican producers were/are infamous for exploitation of artists.

Thanks for Dam A Burst! I think these songs are great. It's refreshing to hear, to me, way lesser known names, not just the usual suspects/riddims. Heavy conscious lyrics on some of these too. Good stuff.

Pause – A temporary stop in action or speech. Briefly stopping to wait or reflect.
I had decided not to post this week. I mean, truthfully, what could I possible say to ease the pain, stress and fear of so many? There certainly seem to be more than enough voices crying out in cyberland right now.
My plan for this week has been to hit pause. To wait. To listen. To pray. And to saturate myself with God's word.
That was the plan, but obviously I am posting 😉 So what changed?
The need for celebration!
You see, my dad called to tell me that it was six months ago today that he had open heart surgery. A quadruple bypass to be exact, followed by a scary and long recovery.
Six months ago that I wrote this: Daddy's Girl and this When God Speaks to Your Heart.
Six months ago that we didn't know if my dad would make it.
But, by God's grace and mercy, he did and he is doing great!!
And that deserves a celebration! That deserves praise! That deserves hitting pause on the incessant noise of the news, hitting pause on my current feelings and fears, and saying "Thank You" to the One who saw us through a very dark and scary time.
That deserves me looking up from my current circumstances to the God who is full of strength and peace and goodness.
That deserves me not being afraid to add my voice to the multitudes today so I can cry out, "Lord, You are the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever! We need not fear because You are enough!"
So today, right at this moment, I am hitting pause on the what-ifs. I am hitting pause on the fervor. And I am choosing to reflect on who God is and what He has done.
And what if….what if…for just a moment we all hit pause on our current feelings and circumstances, took a deep breath, looked up? Looked up at the face of the One who longs to hold us, strengthen us, and use us to shine His light into a dark world?
I pray we find out!
Happy 6th month healthy heart anniversary daddy! I am SO grateful for you (and mom who so lovingly saw you through your recovery!)
And thank you LORD for the mercy you showed us-continue to show us. Mercy we surely do not deserve, but are eternally grateful for!!!
Today, I choose to pause the fervor and express my deepest gratitude and trust in The Father.
Much love,

Top 5 Fermented Foods
Fermented Foods You Should Be Eating Right Now!
The breakdown of sugars by bacteria and yeast is fermentation. It is commonly used to preserve foods, but consuming fermented foods can help increase the activity and reproduction of good bacteria in your gut!
To learn more about probiotics and fermentation read my article " ."
Check out these top 5 fermented foods you should be consuming for a healthy gut!
1. Kombucha:
All too famous trendy beverage these days, Kombucha. I am a huge fan myself of this delicious beverage – just be careful you are drinking the real deal and not a sugary "fake" version! Fermented Black or Green Tea with added natural flavors- shown to prevent liver toxicity, reduces blood sugar, triglycerides, and LDL.
2. Miso:
Fermented soybeans makes up this delicious sauce! A Japanse dish made by fermenting soybeans with salt and Koji ( type of fungus). Shown to reduce the risk of cancer, improve overall heart health, and lowers the risk of stroke.
3. Kimchi:
A wide range of fermented vegetables that aid in lowering LDL ( bad cholesterol) and blood cholesterol.
4. Sauerkraut:
Made from fermented cabbage, this tasty dish is super high in antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and is low cal! You can eat alone or throw it on practically any dish!
5. Probiotic Yogurt:
Yogurt is fermented milk packed full of nutrients such as, riboflavin, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, and B12.
There are a bunch more fermented food options out there, but these are my top 5. All can be purchased at your local grocery store.

Last summer, I read an article on Forbes.com titled "20 Things 20-Year-Olds Don't Get." While the title may make you bristle, it's a good read with some great advice. Here's one point that stood out and reminded me of my work with dental students: "Your reputation is priceless, don't damage it – over time, your reputation is the most valuable currency you have in business. It's the invisible key that either opens or closes doors of professional opportunity. Especially in an age where everything is forever recorded and accessible, your reputation has to be guarded like the most sacred treasure. It's the one item that, once lost, you can never get back."
The idea of your reputation being priceless is especially true for health professionals. All the CE credits in the world can't buy back a blunder to your reputation. But what you might not consider is that you're building your professional reputation right now. Here are some things you can do now to make sure you begin your career with a reputation you can build upon:
Edit your social media usage
If you've been using Facebook and Twitter since your undergrad days, you've probably accumulated quite a few friends, photos and posts that divulge personal information. Start cleaning up your online image now. This not only means Googling yourself and making sure that your Facebook profile is on "friends only" lock down, but it might also mean removing photos or deleting posts. Chances are, you've posted a picture or said something on your wall in the past 8-10 years that you wouldn't want your dental school's dean to see. Just remove it.
From now on, just think before you post. Ask friends not to tag you in unflattering photos and only post things that you wouldn't mind a future employer or patient finding (like photos of your dog, nephew or breakfast).
Google yourself
Find out what comes up when you Google your name (if you have a common name, you may have to add a few more details to your search query). Also consider setting up Google Alerts for yourself. You'll be the first to know when an ASDA article you wrote was published online or if your dental school's website mentioned you. This is a good way to monitor your web reputation going forward.
Prepare yourself for the future
There are always going to be angry Yelp reviews when you're a dentist (Here's how Dr. Chris Salierno copes with his Yelp reviews). Just like you're mom said–you can't make everyone happy. But you can do your best at presenting yourself as a trustworthy health professional online and off. So much of your reputation has to do with things you learned in kindergarten, but let's review:
- Never ever lie. This means that if your clinic director asks why you were absent or need to miss a day, you tell the truth (no matter what). Telling the truth is so much easier than creating "white lies" anyway.
- Do what you believe is right, even if it's harder and takes longer.
- Take responsibility for your actions. It's admirable and people will respect you for it.
The truth is, your online reputation is still a reflection of who you are. No one can post an incriminating photo of you if you don't act in an incriminating way in the first place. And while bad Yelp reviews may creep up on even the most amazing dentist's page, they'll be outweighed by the glowing reviews at the end of the day. So protect your reputation the best you can–your 40-year-old self with thank you.
How have you cleaned up your online reputation since dental school? Tell us in the comments below!

Hi. I am Keith and I am the Secretary / Treasurer at BRP. I have worked for BRP for the past 32 years. I am a Decorah High School graduate, and attended Luther College in Decorah from 1976-1978 where I was a letterman in football and baseball. I went on to graduate from Iowa State University in 1980 with a B.S. degree in Industrial Management and a minor in Accounting and Religion. I am married to Amy Carlson and we have three children: Michael, Katherine, and Rebecca. Here are some other accomplishments:
Hello, I am Duane. When I was a very small boy, I wanted to be many things from a cowboy to a race car driver, but my first clear memory was to be an engineer as I enjoyed building things. When I entered college, I declared my major as an electrical engineer, but transferred from Iowa State to Loras College and became a double major in Economics and Accounting.
I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps while I was in college at Loras. I was called to active duty a few days after I graduated in 1952. I was commissioned to a 2nd lieutenant that August. I was released in August of 1954 as a captain. I came back to Iowa and began my new career in the family business. The next 50 years I was an excavating contractor with BRP. When I moved back to Decorah, I bought half of the business with my father. At that time, we had just seven employees. All these years later, two of my sons, Greg and Keith, and two of my grandsons, Tyler and Jacob, are following in their father's and grandfather's footsteps.
I am now retired and was previously the President of BRP, Inc. I still have an office and love being able to go there and spend time with the employees. It is so great to be able to see the company grow and do so well. I recently celebrated my 80th birthday and my family hosted a party for me at the office. I couldn't help but reflect on all the wonderful memories I have from my life with the company.
My wife, Eileen and I were married back in our days in Dubuque. We have eight children, five boys and three girls. We have had many years enjoying our children grow into adulthood. Sadly, God has taken our two youngest sons to be with him in heaven. We have been blessed with seventeen grandchildren. Our granddaughter, Natalie, was called into the loving arms of Christ. I enjoy our grandchildren very much! My wife and I are relishing in our golden years! We are both in fairly good health and have a vacation home in Arizona, which helps us escape Iowa's winters.
Hi. I am Tyler and growing up as a kid, I always wanted to be involved with the family business. I spent many summers working on the crews helping out however I could. After I graduated from Loras College in Dubuque, IA with a BA in Sports Management, it was only natural to move back home and start working full time. I am currently going into my third year as the Safety Director for Bruening Rock Products and Skyline Construction and I love working in the business. Being the Safety Director means a lot of things, but I am able to get outside and work with the guys and teach safety on the job sites, while also getting to work with the Insurance side of Construction, like injuries and work comp, which has its challenges, but I am learning every day.
Hi. I am Jacob and I am the youngest of Greg's children. I have worked on and off for the company over the last 6 years. I started with Izzy in the shop and spent a year in our mine in knoxville, IA. While in the mine, I worked on the powder crew loading explosives and can say I was glad to be back on the surface again. Currently, I work in our central lab working with Mac.
Hi. I am Steve and I started working for Bruening Rock Products in the summer of 1986. At that time there were probably 60-70 employees. We have grown over the years to over 300 employees in 3 different states and several different companies. My duties have included Payroll, Accounts Payable, Property Management, dealing with Iowa Departments of Transportation, Agriculture, Natural Resources, etc. I am preparing to now to relocate to help manage our expansion in the Southern part of North America or the Carribean.
Hi. I am Greg and I started with BRP in September of 2006. I currently take care of Accounts Receivable for Skyline Ready Mix, Skyline Materials and parts of Minnesota for Bruening Rock Products. I also take care of Accounts Payable for Ziegler Cat for all companies.
Hi- I am Danny and I have been employed as Controller at Bruening Rock Products, Inc. since 1997. I deal with almost all aspects of the Company business in some way or another, including contract management, financials, audits, insurance, taxes and the like.
Being from Minnesota, I always like to fish, hunt, and ride motorcycle.
Hi. I am Ron. I serve as the General Counsel for the Bruening Companies. I am a native of Decorah, graduated from Decorah High School in 1983 and Central College in 1987. I also completed a Master of Arts in Education at the University of Iowa in 1991, and was a high school and community college teacher before entering law school.
I graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law with a High Distinction in 1999, having served on the editorial board of the Journal of Corporation Law, the Moot Court Board, and as a research assistant to Professor Arthur Bonfield.
I am the Vice President of the Decorah Community School District Board of Education, a trustee of Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, and am actively involved with the Real Estate Section of the Iowa State Bar Association.
I am married and have two children.
Hi. I am John and I started at BRP in the Fall of 2009. I am the Fleet Manager, I deal with DOT Compliance issues, Permitting, Safety and HR for our fleet.
Hi. My name is Chase and I started with BRP in September of 2007. Soon after, operations were expanded into Missouri and Minnesota, making it an eye-opening experience for me to see how fast the company had grown and continues to grow! My responsibilities include Payroll, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable for Jennerjohn & Holthaus, Inc. and Skyline Trucking, Inc., as well as Accounts Receivable for S & S Quarries and G-71 Sand Pit, and processing incoming payments for all companies.
Hi. I am Jesse and I am a Project Engineer. I grew up in Lansing, Iowa from a family of 9 kids. I Graduated from Iowa State University and married Heather Grady in 2002. We have three children, Logan, Mari and Beckham.

Hi. I am Ryan and I am an Ag Technician / Assistant Project Manager / Project Estimator. I grew up in Lansing, Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa in 2009. I started with BRP in May of 2005. I worked my way through school before deciding to work full time for the company.

It's an unfortunate fact: your perspective on the risks involved in tandem skydiving isn't supported by science. It's influenced by the scare-happy media, and it lacks nuance. ...But that's not your fault! And you can fix it. Here's how.
The myths that surround the safety of skydiving--much like the myths that used to surround activities like commercial air travel--have largely to do with very rare, much-publicised incidents. They by no means define the safety of the sport, and they shouldn't be used as the crux of the decision-making process. Hopefully, in this little article, we'll be able to help you to be much smarter about it.
Investing In Life
For a moment, let's talk about making a tandem skydive like we're talking about a financial investment. It makes sense, right? After all, accepting calculated risk is the way we invest in our future lives. Just like a financial investment, we're looking to reap the biggest reward for a given set of risks. When we make risky decisions: like moving away to school, getting married, switching jobs, telling someone how we really feel, etc., we're investing in the betterment of our future.
If you look at it from that angle, skydiving is a downright brilliant investment.
Low Risk, Astronomical Reward
The risk a jumper incurs on a tandem skydive are very statistically low (lower than your morning commute, in fact!) and very manageable. In actual fact, the risk associated with both tandem and solo skydiving are lower than ever before in history. Technological improvements to the equipment, better, more regulated training and cautious, stringent aviation safety requirements work together to make that the case. If you're curious, you can actually see the numbers for yourself. We're all pretty proud of the strides we've made in this sport--in essence, the risks have been brought pretty darn close to negligible.
Whatcha Get
What do you get back for taking those low risks? Dude. The return on that investment is akin to throwing a coin in a nickel slot and being buried in the payout.
If you're like most first-time tandem skydivers, you can expect the following:
To land with a sense of personal empowerment that's likely to be stronger than anything you've felt before
To be inspired to try new things and tackle challenges
To frame the challenges in your life in a much healthier, proactive way--because you've accepted an enormous challenge and rocked it, so what can't you pull off?
To feel better--in a way that lasts long after the jump.
If you parlay that tandem into a skydiving license, you're gonna make friends for life. (Ask any skydiver to vet that fact. They'll tell you it's true.)
Sounds pretty good, huh? It is. This is one investment opportunity you'd be a fool to pass up--and we'd love to be the ones to see your enormous grin as you're cashing it out. Come out and make that jump with us!

In the Feb. 1 New York Times there is a telling op-ed by Benjamin Nugent, a successful writer and a "recovered" Asperger's patient.
A decade ago, at age 20, Mr. Nugent was the featured star in an educational video "Understanding Asperger's," produced by his mother, a psychology professor and expert on the topic. Mr. Nugent had received the diagnosis at age 17, when he exhibited evidence of all the characteristic Asperger's behaviors as these are listed in DSM-IV. He explains just how he managed to meet each criterion: 1) failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level ("I had few friends"); 2) a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people ("I spent a lot of time by myself in my room reading novels and listening to music"); and 3) an encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus ("I memorized poems and spent a lot of time playing the guitar and writing terrible poems and novels").
The DSM-IV defines Asperger's as a continuous and lifelong disorder. But Mr. Nugent abruptly and spontaneously outgrew his disease right after college and has lived happily ever after. Clearly, as his well-meaning mother now recognizes and regrets, he had been misdiagnosed in the first place. Mr. Nugent writes, "My experience can't be unique. Under the rules in place today, any nerd, any withdrawn, bookish kid, can have Asperger's syndrome. The definition should be narrowed. I don't want a kid with mild autism to go untreated. But I don't want a school psychologist to give a clumsy, lonely teenager a description of his mind that isn't true." Mr. Nugent also wonders how much greater the ill effects of misdiagnosis might have been had he been mislabeled at a younger and more impressionable age. He was obviously not harmed by the stigma attached to being called "autistic," but would Mr. Nugent's ambitions and achievements not have been severely truncated had he, as a 12-year-old, accepted the seemingly authoritative prediction that he was going to be irrevocably impaired for life?
Indeed, as Mr. Nugent has intuited, he is far from alone in "recovering" from autism. A number of studies have documented the surprising instability of the diagnosis as it is currently applied. Some of this is expectable and inevitable; it is inherently difficult to make definitive diagnoses in infants, children, and teenagers, because they are in the midst of such rapid developmental changes. Some of the instability is also doubtless due to the beneficial effects of the recently increased provision of school and treatment services, especially when these are applied early and skillfully. But as Mr. Nugent implies, a good deal of the instability also comes from the loose way the diagnosis of autism is currently applied. The fact that school and mental health services are so coupled to the diagnosis must account for a significant part of the more than 20-fold multiplication in autism rates occurring in just 15 years. Autism used to be among the rarest and most homogeneous of psychiatric disorders; now it has become common, heterogeneous, unreliable, and unstable.
The DSM-5 has somewhat unwittingly and ambivalently suggested radical changes in the definition of autism that would narrow it considerably, thus increasing its specificity and reducing its instability. From a diagnostic standpoint (and to reduce the risks of realizing Mr. Nugent's fear of stigmatizing mislabels), a narrowed diagnosis makes great sense. But there is a completely understandable fear that such narrowing of diagnosis will reduce service and treatment resources for people who really need them.
There is no easy solution to the quandary of how to return to more accurate diagnoses while not jeopardizing needed services. The basic problems are interacting: the DSM-IV diagnosis of autism is too general to be a trustworthy guide to determine who gets which school services, and the linking of services to a diagnosis of autism naturally results in inflated rates. The best way forward would be to decouple the diagnosis of autism from services -- to link services instead to more specific assessments of the individual's educational, behavioral, and interpersonal needs. These are better guides than a vague and overbroad diagnosis of autism that explains less than it promises and carries too much baggage.

Influencer. Humanitarian. Legend.
Donnie Simpson hailed "the man behind the music," embarked upon a lifelong journey filled with sweet melodies of soul at the tender age of fifteen. By the age of nineteen, Simpson had found favor in the rhythm after embarking upon a groundbreaking career in the radio industry, as the voice of Detroit's WJLB. His authenticity, quick wit, and sensual voice dominated airways, and he was quickly established as an industry pioneer, breaking music for artists from The Temptations to Elton John.
And yet, despite his ascension as a heroic influencer in the music industry and love of his hometown, Detroit, Michigan, Simpson would yield to a higher calling, expanding his territory and establishing him as a staple in the Washington, D.C. community. After spending four decades as the preeminent celebrity of DC media, Simpson has been crowned a bonafide American icon.
In 1983, Simpson was recruited by Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), to host the network's primetime music video show, Video Soul. In 2004, Simpson was welcomed into the BET Walk of Fame. In 2015, he was inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, as the only non-musician so honored.

Who Should Inherit Your IRA?
How family and friends lose out
If you are planning to make a charitable gift from your estate, consider leaving your taxable IRA assets to us so your heirs will not face federal income taxes and possibly estate taxes. They can then receive more of your other income tax-free assets (e.g., cash, stock and real estate) and we will be able to keep the full amount of every IRA distribution because of our tax-exempt status.
Fast facts:
- If you leave an IRA to your heirs, they may face double taxation (federal estate and income taxes).
- Instead of having the government tax up to nearly 60 percent of your IRA assets, you can apply 100 percent of those assets to a charitable purpose that is important to you.
- An IRA is one of the best assets to fund a charitable gift from your estate.
- The best way to make a gift of your IRA assets is to name your favorite charitable organization as the beneficiary on your IRA beneficiary designation forms.
Example: Frank wants to treat his two grandchildren, Patty and Michael, equally. Upon his death, he leaves Patty $100,000 in stock that he had purchased for $60,000. He leaves his $100,000 IRA to Michael. When Patty receives her $100,000 in stock, she will not have to pay any capital gains tax. In fact, she obtains a "stepped-up" cost basis to the date-of-death stock value so that if she sells the stock for $100,000, she will pay no capital gains tax.
By comparison, when Michael receives the $100,000 from the IRA, the entire amount will be subject to income tax because IRA distributions are taxable, even after death. Consequently, Frank did not treat his two grandchildren equally. Michael will receive less money than Patty after he pays the income tax liability.
Estate taxes and your IRA
At death, IRAs are subject to tax because distribution will trigger an income tax liability and a potential estate tax liability. If the estate is subject to federal estate tax, the combination of federal income and estate tax rates on IRA assets can reach up to 60 percent
A charitable solution
A bequest of all or a percentage of your IRA assets to a charitable organization eliminates estate and income taxes. The charity will keep 100 percent of the IRA assets and will apply them to a charitable purpose you choose.
Your estate benefits in two ways:Your estate may claim a charitable estate tax deduction because the IRA will be transferred to a charitable organization. Neither your estate nor your heirs will have to report any taxable income from the distribution if you name the charity as the beneficiary on the IRA forms and if the IRA is distributed directly to the charity after your death. Meanwhile, because a tax-exempt organization is the beneficiary, it will not have to pay any income tax when it receives the distribution.
Please note: Your will does not govern your IRA. An IRA is a separate trust or custodial account that usually passes outside of probate. The most important document in this case, therefore, is the beneficiary designation form you receive from the IRA administrator.
For more information, see a competent tax advisor. With good planning, you can make a major charitable gift of your IRA at a very small cost to your heirs.

Colombia – The Coffee Trail
Posted by TheShot on 12 Feb 2006 | Tagged as: Beans, Foreign Brew
The Travel section in today's New York Times reviews the state of travel in Colombia as it tries to shake its image of fighting drug lords and Marxist guerrillas: Colombia – The Coffee Trail. One of the big attractions is Colombia's coffee country, with stays in some of its coffee producing haciendas.
Of course, all that stuff about Colombia and Juan Valdez growing the richest coffee in the world is more a product of American marketing than any true quality of their beans. And unlike Venezuelans, Colombians don't even really drink the stuff they grow. Meaning your best brewed cup will likely come from the airport you departed from rather than anything you'll drink on the farms. But for once Colombia is getting a chance to shine.

Animex Street
Animex Street takes the festival out to the good folk of Teesside. Over the years, Animex Street has showcased work on the craziest locations including, the North East's tallest structure, Centre North East, hospital waiting rooms and wards, shopping centres, Middlesbrough Football Club in and around the stadium, drug rehabs, poetry nights, floating barges and various shops, cafes and public houses in and around our glorious region.
This year will be even bigger with Animexperience kicking off for the first time during the festival. Animexperience will give some lucky people the chance to roll up their sleeves and create their own animated work of art with guidance from some of the industry's major players. There will be talks, question and answer sessions and screenings of primarily locally-created work, animators will visit primary schools and there will be an abundance of career and education guidance from local educators and practitioners. But, fundamentally, it will give people an insight into an industry they may have thought out of reach and will encourage future creative practice.
Animex Street will also showcase the work produced as part of the Animatus project, which was ran in conjunction with the Learning Skills Council (LSC) and was hosted at Arc in Stockton, during the whole of 2005. Animatus gave anyone over the age of 18 the opportunity to tell their story and turn it into an animation. The project has been hailed a massive success, and has been used as a good practice example by both the LSC and Basic Skills Departments as a way for disadvantaged groups to express their creativity in an environment of educational interactive fun. Some of the content in some of the finished Animatus work requires an over-18 certificate, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on workshops, keep your ear to the ground for talks and screenings and keep your head in the clouds if this isn't for you.
Come on Teesside lets get animated.

I noes the tired. I was wide awake this morning at 4. When I got back from work I searched the bastard house for something I promised to a colleague's 7 year old daughter. Needless to say it could not be found and I spent some time Wailing. So then I did cleaning and had a coat audit. More Wailing. We have so many fucking coats. Not so many now though. On the up side, I found a Mulberry handbag under the stairs that I forgot I had and M&S are doing FRENCH! as in made in FRANCE! mini macaroons. They are quite lovely in an M&S sort of way and I have had two for my supper with a glass of fizz. Also, Mr FP popped round at the weekend to see the child and left a cheque. When he buggered off I drove to Majestic and spent most of it on Cloudy Bay and Moet. I know. The guilt. Pah. Hope some decent sleep comes soon to all of you. xxx

You have my sympathy but no tips. If you get any good ones I am all ears. The itching eyes. OMG. It is too, too much. I have rubbed mine so much I am now looking through the back of own head.

sweet lord, insomnia. i have suffered it for years, i have finally gotten little blue pills from doctor and i take them half at a time only at the worst moments, not because i want my liver to be spotless and drug-free (hah!) but because i fear over-using to the point of them losing all effectiveness and then what shall i do? i can hardly get pissed on a work night just to pass out. patients would surely not appreciate booze breath on their dental health provider.
as such, by the way, i applaud your dental hygiene attempts. hurray for you. to multitask, you could floss with bra straps.
so, what worked for me? well, moving to british columbia, canada's most wonderous province, suddenly made me not be an insomniac. it practically happened overnight and i highly recommend it. we DO have a spare bedroom but the house isn't anywhere near child-proof, but come on down. every bloody day you see bald eagles, seals, deer and other crazy beasties. no tiny little bats, though.

This is brilliant and hilarious and sounds exactly like having a newborn but without the hormones to make you have to pee in the cup at stage 4. I hope you get miraculous levels of sleep upwards of 7 hours soon.

Oh girl. You are breaking my heart. I also do not do well without sleep. I'm married to a chronic insomniac who doesn't understand that I need 8 solid a night. Not 7 1/2, not 5, not even 8 with numerous interruptions. I need 8 dead to the world. When I was single and exhausted I sometimes just unhooked the bra. And I get itchy when I'm excessively tired, too! What in the fucking fuck is up with THAT?
- 9 December 2009 at 04:38
have you tried drugging?! you and the kids?! and possibly the dog?!
- 9 December 2009 at 10:25
I know it's wrong but that post really made me laugh (WITH you, WITH you, you know I'm not a bastard).
I second melatonin though, it's a work of pure genius.
See you (literally! Gasp) at the Craftacular xx

Bring melatonin with you Chantal. Yay, we will finally meet. And it's ok! You can laugh! You might laugh less if you knew just how little exaggeration for effect there is.
- 9 December 2009 at 12:47
Yes, what is with the itching? It's the maddening corner of the eye itch that drives me insane.
My niece is very interested in death and doom at the moment. I was very uncomfortably quizzed a little while ago at when EXACTLY I would die.
And when did I become old enough to have question directed at me to begin with 'in the olden days....?'
Anything cooked in the oven is healthy and wholesome. No need for guilt there.
We should have a meet up at Brasserie Georges soon. I'll send you home filled to the brim with kir royale so you sleep like a baby. Of course the next day will be a 4, but you can't have everything.

It was fucking grim, Fran, that aubergine disastro-bake. I'd rather a nice onglet and frites at Brasseries Georges any day.
- 9 December 2009 at 13:14
No shit, I actually do have some melatonin. If I can dig it out of my recently-moved heap it's yours.

- The Spicers said...
Melatonin never worked for me and Tylenol PM is better than Ambien. But if it's children waking you up, as is frequently the case in my house, there's not much you can do. We get up 2-3 times a night to test my son's blood sugar, so I sympathize; I haven't had a full night's sleep since 2004. No option of being in a comatose state of deep sleep for the foreseeable future. I hope the night-waking will pass for you.

the husband is ill, so he sneezes all the way through the night, and coughs, and then wakes up and puts the light on at 4am when i have to get up at 5 becuase he can't find his inhaler.
I had 4 hours sleep last night, got up at 5, and went to look after a 2 year old who has the same illness,a dn is at the same time the most energetic child that every there was. I have it too, but of course I have to get on with it. It's lucky that I enjoy my work generally.
I kind of wish someone would shoot me, but I'm going to Poland on friday, so maybe they could do it when i come back?

The itchy eyes thing is terrible. Having to stare at a computer all day totally makes it worse as well (which would explain why I then come home and sit in front of the computer rather than going to bed. Ummm)

Probably late with this, but in case you get another veggie box this week, there are several things you can do with aubergines that are quite delicious, even if you're not a real fan of aubergines.
1) Slice them into 1/2 cm thick rounds, dip into cold water for a minute (to remove the sour-tasting fluid that comes from cutting them), dry them with kitchen towel. Then dip them in flour so they're coated in white and fry them in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Drizzle with salt and serve hot with tzatziki, hummus or another dip. This is also a good option for courgettes /zucchini - doesn't take too long to prepare.
2) Like no. 1, except dip them in beaten egg first and then in flour (makes a thicker batter). Actually, cauliflower is quite delicious in batter too.
Another variation would be to use Japanese tempura batter, which is an excellent option for all kinds of vegetables. Serve with soy sauce. The kids would probably (well, they might, it's worth a try) like carrots and peppers in tempura, dipped in soy (or sweet n sour) sauce.
3) Delicious Lebanese aubergine dip, baba ghanoush http://www.lebaneserecipes.com/BabaGhanoush.htm
4) Moussaka? You could try to convince the children that it was a new kind of lasagne...
Can't really help with the turnips though...

After I had my first baby and was seriously sleep deprived I realized what a hazard I was on the road. It put into perspective my rush to judgment against other pinheaded drivers. I decided to try and have an ounce more patience with (stupid! crappy!) drivers because maybe they had good reasons for being distracted too.

Hello there. I've forgotten what 'a good night's sleep' actually is again. I'll have to look it up on Wiki. I'm way beyond taking off make-up and bra. If I make it upstairs at all it's a fucking miracle. And if I do, I don't make it back down the next day until the biscuit tin is totally empty, there's a couple of poos in the potty, some children missing and a man with a clipboard at the front door. This is on a good day.

I am trying to understand my legal and best practices policies for electronic communications. We are entirely private, so FERPA does not necessarily apply. However, I want to cover all my bases. We have users who use personal accounts for student communications, but my belief is that this is a potential land mind for litigation or legal compliance. What would you advise?
Views: 76
Once our students matriculate the use of personal e-mail accounts for official school communication is not an option. We will only send to the .edu e-mail address for students. If students wish to forward that e-mail they certainly may. Students keep the same e-mail address throughout enrollment and it expires 400 days after the student leaves campus (or graduates).
Administrative efficiency, Help Desk support and clear communication expectations are the primary reasons for restricting official communication but there may also be compliance (ATS or SACSCOC) rationale behind this policy, I'm not certain. We use a campus-based Microsoft Exchange Server.

With news outlets starting to pick up the IsAnybodyDown story (an overview is here) — among them Ars Technica and the Daily Dot — one misconception should be headed off at the pass: the site's creators are not likely to be shielded from liability by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
[Before I begin: though I've taken the California bar exam, I'm not a licensed attorney quite yet. I get results on Friday at 6PM. Pray hard to the FSM, please. That said, I'll probably get some of this wrong. If you're foolhardy enough to be running an involuntary porn site, you might be dumb enough to listen to me — don't. This is merely an opinion and people far smarter than I will likely take objection to parts of it.]
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)
§230 of the CDA is what greases the free-wheeling internet in the legal realm. In a nutshell, it exempts website operators from civil liability for certain types of content provided by its users or another site. That means Yelp isn't liable every time a disgruntled customer makes something up about a business, Google doesn't have to fear frivolous lawsuits because it links to the Anarchist Cookbook, and 4Chan is unlikely to get hit with a judgment as a result of whatever its feral malcontents are flinging on /b/.
That's a manifestly good thing. Without it, websites would have to screen all content posted by their users, and sites like Facebook would come to a screeching, unprofitable halt. More unprofitable, I mean. Nor are the injured left without a remedy: they can always go after the person responsible for the posting.
Given how many frivolous lawsuits are batted back by a §230 defense, it's difficult to fault the authors of the ArsTechnica and the Daily Dot articles for raising it as a possible defense — it is. But §230 is not limitless, and IsAnybodyDown is unlikely to succeed in raising it.
First, §230 does not provide a defense to Federal (and perhaps state) intellectual property claims. To the extent that the men and women pictured on the site own the copyright to their photos (e.g., they took the picture themselves or can acquire the right from whoever took it), a copyright claim will survive a §230 defense. Marc Randazza has indicated that copyright claims are a possibility, should he find a client willing to let him take the case pro bono. Whether a Fair Use defense to the copyright claim can be raised is another issue, and I don't believe it can. More on this later, perhaps.
Second, to the extent that there are tort claims against IsAnybodyDown (e.g., public disclosure of private facts, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, etc.), IsAnybodyDown will have an uphill battle asserting a §230 defense. Generally, the more control a website exercises over the content it provides, the less likely it is to be shielded from liability.
IsAnybodyDown isn't simply republishing the material users submit. As I've documented extensively, they're going out and getting much of it themselves by deceiving unsuspecting Craigslist posters. Additionally, rather than creating an automated system to publish user-submitted content, IsAnybodyDown asks viewers to email in their content, then selects which third-party content to post. Whether solicitation and selection itself strips a website of §230 immunity is unclear, though many courts (PDF) have declined to find that selection of content revokes immunity.. The site also offers rewards for submitted content, and paying users for content may strip a site of immunity, assuming any of those rewards were successful. Furthermore, they're creating their own screenshots of Facebook profiles, adding in their own commentary, and doing their own investigative work.
Similar questions were raised by Evan Brown of InternetCases.com regarding the application of §230 to IsAnybodyDown's predecessor, IsAnyoneUp:
The site clearly isn't protected by §230 from copyright claims over the photos it has used without consent. It's less clear whether they'll be shielded from tort claims, particularly where the content in question was derived by deceiving posters on Craigslist — photos clearly not intended to be published on a porn site.

I had a nasty cold for over two weeks. It drained all the creativity out of me. That's my excuse for not blogging, and I'm sticking to it. Fall is creeping in!
I've finished a few things in spite of my lack of good health. I had a lot of fun making my tiara for Nancy Eha's challenge. You'll have to watch for your chance to vote for your favorite entry. It looks like there are going to be quite a few. I tried a few things that I have never done before with beads. Maybe this will inspire me to get brave enough to add more to my quilts. Here are a couple of close-up shots. I am the Countess of Colour as I tried to add lots of colour to my tiara. I also just love bright colors, so it seemed fitting.
I finished a very small art piece for the member's only exhibit at the Textile Center. The exhibit isn't until January but I needed to turn in a photo or two and my admission form about a week ago. This will be the third year I am a member of the Textile Center but the first I have submitted something for this show. They do the member's only show every year but the first year I didn't know about it until it was too late. Last year we had family conflicts with my finishing a piece. So, this year I was determined to enter something. I submitted it on the day of the deadline. So next year my goal is the day before the deadline. LOL They don't like to have the pieces shown other places before the show, but I promise I'll show it in January.
I'm also finishing up my postcards for the postmark'ed art group. Should be done with those soon. Here is my tree bark. I used three layers of sheer fabrics, put on my mask and melted them with my heat gun. It's fun to use tools! I wouldn't do this without a respirator mask and the great outdoors to mitigate the fumes.
Two more group of cards to do. Thread painting and the last group will be anything goes!
Have a creative day

Remember Pokemon Go? (Perhaps you remember it from that Snorlax you caught five minutes ago.) At the height of that mobile game's popularity, practically everywhere you'd go you could see people walking around, eyes on their phones, trying to hunt fictional monsters in their neighborhoods. The best thing about it was the fact that a digital game could urge us to go outside. Well, a digital app is pushing us outside again. And this time, it's not to learn about some made-up species, but about the world, right from your phone.

Annie Curran checks out Cardboard Gangsters, which screened at this year's Cork Film Festival.
"Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret" reads the wall of the gym where Jason Connolly, protagonist of Cardboard Gangsters, aggressively hits a punching bag. This mantra ultimately proves to be the lesson that Jason and his friends learn as they find themselves more and more entangled in the initially alluring world of the Darndale drug trade.
Actor John Connors, who co-wrote the dramatic crime film with director Mark O'Connor, stars as Jason. The film was largely inspired by Connors' own experience growing up in the neighborhood, which is situated on the Northside of Dublin and is a hotbed of cyclical social problems. During a post-screening Q&A at the Cork Film Festival, O'Connor stated that since the Cardboard Gangsters are a product of their environment, their goal as filmmakers was to show the "humanity of these characters."
Jason and his group of three childhood friends are involved in small-time drug dealing. But as economic pressures mount, Jason concedes to his friend Dano's wishes to begin selling "brown," even though their neighborhood has been the authoritative and tyrannical Derra Murphy's terrain for their entire lives. As to be expected, Derra does not take kindly to the newfound business competition.
From loansharking to unplanned pregnancy, Cardboard Gangsters expertly details the variety of social problems that Darndale residents face. In one heated exchange, Jason's friend Cobbie is called a "Nigerian," to which he has to defend himself as "Irish bred and born," thus highlighting the racism that remains embedded with certain facets of Irish society. These social problems do not feel heavy-handed or clichéd, which is owed to Connors and O'Connor's authenticity of experience.
Connors gives a masterful performance as Jason, who initially does not want to take over Derra's territory. During an early scene where Jason attempts to pick up a welfare check, his face is framed next to an advert for a "Low-Self Esteem Clinic." This framing tells the audience everything they need to know about the problematic masculinity that is created out of the limited options in Darndale. Jason's check is refused because he has been DJ-ing as a hobby, thus implying that his attempts to better himself through healthy choices can't even pull him out of the cycle of crime.
Perhaps the film's finest cinematographic achievements are the sprawling one-take tracking shots. Producer Richard Bolger joked at the Q&A about the logistical stress of shooting one scene in particular, where Jason terrorizes a man with a chainsaw. While the scene might have been an insurer's nightmare, the results are equally terrifying and electrifying. The filmmakers frequently use the frame to emphasize how the men get trapped into a world of crime, including shots where they walk behind fences that look like jail cells and are silhouetted by smoking piles of trash.
In an effort to present every day life in Darndale, the film contains a fair amount of scenes that don't necessarily drive the plot. This is best exhibited in the music videoesque sequences that show the characters hanging out, selling, and simply living their lives. The hip-hop and rock influenced soundtrack is made up of all-Irish musicians and mostly local Darndale musicians. The filmmakers felt it was imperative to get the music right in order to capture Darndale's local culture. As such, one of their inspirations was the 2015 biographical film Straight Outta Compton, which details the early lives of hip-hop group N.W.A.
Cardboard Gangsters truly shows the psychological effects of not suffering the pain of discipline. The scene where Jason breaks down into his mother's arms is one of the most poignant moments I've seen in recent cinema. Jason gives into his vulnerability and the results are gut-wrenching and powerful. O'Connor told the audience at Cork Film Festival that is was very important to Connors that the film showed at-risk youth that dealing drugs will never end well.
To do this more effectively, the film highlights the suffering of all of the characters, even Derra. During a tracking shot of a robbery of the liquor store, the camera zooms in on the panicked face of an alarmed employee, before focusing back on the action. This moment painfully reminds the audience that the whole community is victimized by these crimes. But additionally and most importantly, the film shows how Jason, his friends, and Derra are victimized by their own crimes, which leads to the conclusion's violent trail of revenge. The idiom an "eye for an eye" has never rang more true.
Cardboard Gangsters screened on 20th November 2016 as part of the Cork Film Festival 2016 (11 – 20 November)
Cardboard Gangsters is set to open in cinemas across Ireland in February 2017.
