ant audrey
sweater: cloak & dagger
dress (as skirt): charlotte taylor via anthropologie
shoes: ebay'd ferragamos
necklace: thrifted
wrinkles and all.
anyway, for our christmas sam and i headed up to connecticut to spend it with his family. thanksgiving in california with my folks, christmas in connecticut with his; it's a tradition i've come to love, since time at home with my family is invaluable to me, of course, especially now that it means seeing my little nephew pete. my mom makes all the foods i love for thanksgiving - green bean casserole just the way i like it - and then for the christmas holiday sam's mom handmakes more pierogies than you can count, the wine flows generously, and there's a big screen tv in a den (i always wanted to have a house with a den when i grew up) to escape into. the bakery was pretty hectic leading up to christmas, but i threw together a dish i'd prepared a couple weeks earlier in brooklyn that sam went crazy over.

bass en croute
upon a little internet searching to refresh my memory (i couldn't remember quite what veggies i used the first time) i came across this recipe, which is pretty similar. so i guess i can't claim complete ownership over this one, but i will say it's pretty easy to make and quite the crowd pleaser. particularly if you have a fridge full of fresh fish, as i do.
1 sizeable fish fillet (i used striped bass, which apparently has been on a KILLER run this fall. in case you were wondering.) i'd say about 4-5 inches wide by ten inches-ish long.
2 sheets puff pastry dough
1 egg, beaten
1 bulb fennel
1 lemon
1/2 cup greek olives
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
about 1/4 cup chicken stock
a couple tablespoons cream
salt & pepper
preheat the oven to 375; make sure your puff pastry sheets are defrosted and ready for use. prep the fish by slicing it, long ways, in half - so that you have two fillets that look the same size as the original from above, but are half the thickness. slice 1/2 the tomatoes, the greek olives, and the fennel; saute until soft, squeeze with 1/2 the lemon juice. prepare the puff pastry sheet by placing it on a baking pan on top of some parchment paper. brush the dough with the beaten egg (there should still be plenty left to brush the outside of the pastry when finished) then place one of the fillets in the center. top it with the sauteed veggies, then place the other half the fish on top; place two slices of lemon on top, squeeze the rest of the juice over it, salt and pepper, then carefully place the second sheet on top of the fish. trim the pastry so it's about 1 inch from the fish, then fold it over itself and seal it with a fork. brush the pastry with the remaining egg, then put it in the oven. it'll take 25-35 minutes to bake; keep an eye on it, and take it out to rest for a few minutes once it's puffed and golden brown.
for the sauce - while the pastry is cooking, take the remaining 1/2 cup of tomatoes, sliced in half, and the cloves of garlic; chop them, toss the two with olive oil, then wrap them in aluminum foil and roast until the skins of the tomatoes have popped and started to brown (10-15 minutes.) remove the foil and place the ingredients in a small pan; saute on low, adding chicken stock as needed, then right before you get ready to serve, add the cream, salt, and pepper. strain the sauce to remove the tomato skins and seeds, and drizzle around the pastry. ta-da!
you can see how out of practice i am - i totally forgot to take pictures the whole time and just cooked like a normal person. i'll get back on track, i swear.
i sincerely wish you all a wonderful new year, and hope you had a wonderful christmahannukwanzukah. or solstice. i have a pretty fantastic new years dress picked out, so i think i'll be back sooner than later.

merry christmas audrey! i love your outfit picture....i must admit i've missed them....i LOVE the ant print on that dress....and worn as a skirt with your sweater and a belt. just perfect. i also like how you've organized your clothes by color....i must try that.
hope you have a happy new year!
norbyahWork with your hair as it is right now, style it till you love it. I cut my hair into a pixie several years ago (and dyed it a color I wasn't used to) and immediately tried to grow it out again. Now I look back at pics from those days and wish I'd played with it more. Right now you can completely rock a Jennifer Jason Leigh look right around the time she was Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway or when she and Alan Cumming made the amazing film The Anniversary Party. She had the same length, color, and roots. I bet with a little product you can get the same style, too.

Permira, the owner of the frozen foods giant Iglo, is looking for a price of €2.8bn (£2.2bn) from bidders for the business.
The private-equity groups BC Partners and Blackstone have teamed up to put in a joint bid for the maker of Birds Eye brands.
Blackstone owns Pinnacle, a US foods group which owns the rights to the Birds Eye brand in the US.
It had previously been thought that Blackstone was competing with BC on the deal, but the two appear to have joined forces for tonight's auction deadline.
Rival private equity firm PAI Partners pulled out of the auction process after failing to find a partner to share the cost.

Commack /kɑːmæk/ is a census designated place (CDP) that roughly corresponds to the hamlet by the same name in the towns of Huntington and Smithtown in Suffolk County, New York, United States on Long Island. The CDP's population was 36,124 at the 2010 census.[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 12.0 square miles (31.0 km2), all land.[2]
The name "Commack" comes from the Secatogue Native Americans who lived on the South Shore of Long Island between Copiague and Bayport. The Secatogue named their northern lands in the center of the island Winnecomac, meaning "pleasant lands". This is what they must have thought when they looked over this area of flat lands with rich soil, and thick oak forests abounding with plants and wildlife. From its earliest days, Commack was known for its fertile soil, abundance of game, and wood.
Today all of Commack is settled and suburbanized and, like most unincorporated areas of Long Island, does not have a true, walkable downtown or "Main Street". The community is served by four major thoroughfares: the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway, the Sunken Meadow State Parkway and the at-grade Jericho Turnpike. It also includes the historic Long Island Motor Parkway, which itself included the spur to NY 25 that later became Harned Road.
As of the census of 2010, there were 36,124 people, 11,907 households, and 9,895 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 3,010.3 per square mile (1,165.3/km2). There were 12,138 housing units at an average density of 1,011.5/sq mi (391.5/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 91.6% White, 0.9% African American, 0.1% Native American or Alaska Native, 5.4% Asian, 0.01% Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 0.8% from some other race, and 1.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.8% of the population.[3]
In the CDP the population was spread out with 26.0% under the age of 18, 6.2% from 18 to 24, 21.5% from 25 to 44, 29.5% from 45 to 64, and 16.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43.0 years. For every 100 females there were 94.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.6 males.[3]
According to Census Bureau estimates for 2009-2011, the median income for a household in the CDP was $102,008, and the median income for a family was $114,866. Males had a median income of $83,135 versus $63,185 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $40,320. About 2.1% of families and 2.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.7% of those under age 18 and 5.0% of those age 65 or over.[4]
Notable sites[edit]
Commack is home to the oldest Methodist Church building in New York state, the Commack Methodist Church, built in 1789 as the Comac Church. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the oldest buildings in Commack.
The American Basketball Association's New York Nets, later the New Jersey Nets, now the Brooklyn Nets, played its second season (1968–69) at the Long Island Arena in Commack. Musician Peter Frampton recorded some tracks on the album Frampton Comes Alive! at a concert at the arena. The Eastern Hockey League's Long Island Ducks also played there. The arena, demolished in 1996, is now the site of a shopping center that includes Sports Authority and Target stores.
The National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum is located in the Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center in Commack.
The Commack Fire Department celebrated its centennial in 2006.[5]
Sunshine Acres was built sometime in the mid 1800s and home to Dr. Darling B. Whitney the property was sold to the Brooklyn Baptist Young Peoples Union in 1915 and became a fresh air home, or camp, named Sunshine Acres. The house was located on Townline Road just North of the Methodist Church and served as the main building for the camp. The dorms, dining hall, and chapel were on top of the hill across the fields.

In popular culture[edit]
On November 14, 2006, radio station WBLI rated the Commack Motor Inn second of the seven wonders of Long Island,[6][7] just behind the Flanders Duck and ahead of the Montauk Lighthouse. The Commack Inn gained notoriety by its advertisements on late-night television and radio, extolling "the perfect romantic getaway", its "plush beds", "mirror ball disco room" and "heart-shaped love tubs". By the 1980s, the Commack Motor Inn had become such an accepted part of Long Island life that its gift certificates were prizes at social clubs.[8] In a 1994 interview, actress Rosie O'Donnell recounted, "That's where everyone in high school went to have their first sexual experience."[9]
In the American television program Criminal Minds, Special Agent David Rossi's hometown is Commack. One episode in the fifth season of the same show is set in Commack (although it was shot in Los Angeles).
Commack Middle School was also on one of MTV's True Life episodes.

She deserves to be a booth babe in my opinion due to the simple facts that she works at gamestop which means she has to be up to date on the latest games for the most part, owns the latest consoles which means she knows how to work them compared to most females who play every now and then, and she has been writing about video games since high school which she had her own column in the school newspaper. Getting your own column in the school newspaper isn't easy most times especially when it comes to writing about video games. She is knowledgeable about some of the greatest series around which include Zelda :) plus she is in college which means she has an expansive vocabulary that comes in handy when writing about anything. She gets my vote for 5 stars for sure. Here's to hoping G4TV takes her to E3 as a booth babe. Good luck Casey! :)

You're interested in video games, you work at Gamestop, have all 3 consoles you go to college to study journalism BECAUSE you want to write about games, and you're gorgeous. You're the type of girl we need as a booth babe!
p.s. You get my vote because I'm a Zelda fan boy and you say it's one of the best series around. Also, your shirt didn't hurt you chances either ;DPosted: May 16, 2011 12:50 PM -

I am compelled to voice my feelings about this submission. I can help but empathize with her efforts for video games journalism as I am heading to J-School soon. While I do not share her opinions on favorite games, I respect the passion she demonstrates. Best of luck and I hope we'll see you at E3!

So I have installed a new version of linux, Manjaro, on a new computer which has an SSD as hard drive. I followed the suggested tips from the following page:
http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/In...D_(quick_guide) Once the install was completed everything went swimmingly and I performed the standard system update and the new kernel install, 3.4.25, installed correctly and again everything went ok. My issue is, I have now installed linux 3.7 and when dropped to the shell to enter my passphrase for the cryptsetup solution followed, the keyboard appears unresponsive :( Obviously the cursor does not move while typing the phrase but in the 3.4.X versions when pressing the enter key the cursor moves to the next line. In 3.7 it neither moves to another line nor does it give me any errors. Would anyone be able to point me in the correct direction on a solution here? Should you require any further details, please ask :) So some more information, it seems the keyboard goes unresponsive the moment the request for the passphrase is presented, but again this only happens for the 3.7 kernel. So some more information, it seems the keyboard goes unresponsive the moment the request for the passphrase is presented, but again this only happens for the 37 kernel. // Moderator note: Look, I already let you know once that I've merged your posts to retain 0-reply state and that you should edit your original post instead.

I thought I posted the site for you, but it was when the site was wonky. Check out Natalie McCluggage's bags at www.hardwearstudio.com They aren't really recycled materials, but at least it could give you some ideas. Just as an aside, we also have hats made from metal mesh. I wish I had a pic of them for you, just for the sake of it.

This long weekend I am spending time on getting some practise with Christmas thank you gifts.
I was inspired by Jill Dubien from Meet the Dubiens, who made some gorgeous snowflakes with her children.
I thought they would be lovely thank you gifts for teachers and carers who give so much to my children during the year.
After some fun moments with Eva making the decorations and then making cookies I started decorating them. I'm not sure which one works best, although I really like the silver on the outside snowflake.
I am using a fantastic cookie recipe that I found on Cake Journal. Louise makes beautiful cookies and decorates them to perfection. I am learning lots from her. The cookie recipe that I am using is this one - Vanilla sugar cookies. They are crunchy, not too sweet, stay crispy and are easy to decorate. The children have enjoyed my efforts here!
A great tip to make sure the cutter slides out of the cookie dough easily is dipping it into cornflour before cutting with it. Works a treat!
So help me out here, which decoration is your favourite?

Portlanders need paid sick time
News about the norovirus and flu outbreaks are not just a national epidemic -- these sicknesses are spreading like wildifire right here in Portland. These illnesses are extremely contagious and can be very serious for our oldest, youngest, and most vulnerable community members. But until Portland protects consumers and workers can earn paid sick days, more and more people are at risk – physically and financially.
Earning paid sick time is extremely important -- especially during times of massive outbreaks like we're experiencing this winter. If people are sick, they should be resting and recovering, not spreading illness to coworkers or customers and potentially making themselves sicker.
My name is Avery Leinova, and I hope my petition helps. I know how much earning paid sick time really matters. It can make the difference between having enough to eat and paying rent.
Plus, sick time is important for families; kids who are sick should be able to recover at home and see a doctor when needed. When sick kids are sent to school or daycare, they suffer, and it puts the other kids and teachers there at risk, too. But right now families are forced to make an impossible choice between needed income and staying home caring for a sick child.
Paid sick days are important for the physical and financial health of our whole community, and the Portland City Council will soon consider a paid sick days ordinance to solve this community problem – like San Francisco and Seattle have already done.
Please, support a paid sick days ordinance in Portland to help keep Portland's people and economy healthy!

"What I want is to intervene for humanitarian reasons, not to interfere in a court ruling,"Mr Morsi told members of the Egyptian community in New York, where he was attending meetings of the UN General Assembly.
Abdul Rahman was convicted in 1995 for his role in the attack, plotting to bomb other New York targets including the United Nations and a plan to assassinate former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
He was sentenced to life in prison.
"We want his family to be allowed to visit him and to serve his sentence in Egypt as part of a prisoner swap between Egypt and the United States," Mr Morsi said in statements carried by the official MENA news agency.
The Egyptian President, who emerged from the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, said that "recent incidents around the US embassy in Cairo have delayed efforts in this regard," MENA reported.
Mr Morsi was referring to angry protests on September 11 over a film produced in the United States mocking Islam and portraying the Muslim Prophet Mohammed as violent and immoral.
Protesters managed to scale the wall of the embassy, tear down the US flag and replace it with a black Islamic flag.
On June 29, on the eve of his inauguration, Mr Morsi told a rally in Cairo that he would work to free Abdul Rahman, commonly refered to as "the blind sheikh".
"I will do everything in my power to secure freedom for detainees, including Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman," Mr Morsi said.

Originally Published in The Legal Special 2013 - A Private Equity International Supplement on April 1, 2013.
Interest in co-investment rights has spiked recently as institutional and other fund investors have sought to enhance their capital deployment, lower expenses and corner differentiation opportunities. These goals can be accomplished with a successful co-investment programme whereby investors garner co-investment rights, build analytical capabilities and streamline procedures for quick action.
This article examines common considerations and complications of co-investments. For simplicity, it hypothesises a middle-market leveraged buyout fund manager (Manager) going to market to raise an institutional fund (Fund 2) after successfully deploying the capital of their prior fund (Fund 1).
Who should get co-investment rights, and when?
Our Manager should assume there will be pressure to grant co-investment rights, and should first develop a strategy as to whether, how, and when to grant them to any subscribers for Fund 2. Fundraising takes a long time and usually has several unexpected developments, and our Manager would be properly guided by the following principles:
The above considerations generally mean the final Fund 2 limited partnership agreement (LPA) and side letters will acknowledge certain investors' interests in co-investing, but leave the Manager the flexibility to deal with co-investment opportunities in the manner most conducive to adding value to Fund 2's portfolio companies.
Co-investment rights are not for everybody. The Manager, the co-investors, Fund 2 and the recipient portfolio company should all derive specific, tangible benefits from co-investments. The obvious benefit: co-investment dollars can complete a financing round. Less obvious: the Manager or the portfolio company should be able to reap a strategic benefit from the co-investors. The Manager wants to woo support for its next fund; but more so, the Manager wants to add value to Fund 2's portfolio company. A co-investor may add such value by, for example, filling an 'outside' director role on the portfolio company's governing board, introducing strategic relationships to the company, providing discreet IT or other operating systems advice, or offering industry expertise.
Equally important is the ability of co-investors to be able to independently evaluate an investment and move fast toward consummating it. Requiring a high ability to independently assess a co-investment opportunity is a risk mitigation strategy for the Manager. Fund 2's LPA or side letter should provide that, subject to executing the same kind of NDA as Fund 2, co-investors will be entitled to the same due diligence materials as the Manager receives, will independently evaluate the investment opportunity, and will not rely on any representations from the Manager or the fact that Fund 2 invests as an indication that it is an appropriate stand-alone investment for the co-investor.
Structuring Co-Investments
Co-investments can be structured as direct or indirect investments. With direct investments, co-investors own directly (or indirectly through a vehicle they control) a stake in the portfolio company. In this case, the investor is a party to the portfolio company shareholders' or operating agreement (just like Fund 2). The investor decides how it will vote its interests in the portfolio company, whether to fund any pre-emptive right, or whether to exercise tag-along or participation rights and any other action required in connection with rights and obligations of investors in the portfolio company. Direct co-investment is generally only done by investors who have the infrastructure to analyse and manage individual portfolio positions.
Co-investors who invest indirectly alongside the fund are usually aggregated in a single special-purpose co-investment vehicle (SPV), formed as a limited liability company or limited partnership. LLCs are not always conducive to use by foreign investors and may have different tax treatment; whereas limited partnerships are generally recognised by the home jurisdiction of the inbound foreign investor. As an SPV is essentially a fund with a single portfolio investment, the limited partnership form also has the added comfort of looking and feeling very much like Fund 2's LPA. Since the SPV is a pooled investment vehicle with a strategy similar to Fund 2's, Fund 2's LPA must allow the Manager to manage the SPV simultaneously.
Each structure accommodates the use of blocker entities if there is a group of investors that needs to avoid flow-through tax treatment. In the SPV model, the blocker entity can block both co-investors and Fund 2 investors through the use of a single Alternative Investment Vehicle (AIV) (assuming the Fund 2 document allows for AIVs). In the direct investment, the blocker can be inserted between some of the co-investors and not others, but the expenses of the blocker entity become the responsibility of the blocked smaller subset of investors. By contrast, AIVs and their blockers are usually fund expenses. The illustration below depicts the use of blockers in each structure.
Indirect Co-Investment with Joint Blocker
Direct Co-Investment with Blocker
When designing an SPV, a host of fundlike questions should be considered:
Finally, expenses must be addressed head-on. Fund 2's LPA should expressly deal with what expenses need to be allocated between Fund 2 and the SPV, and the SPV should expressly provide for how ongoing expenses will be funded.
Economics of Co-Investment Rights
No matter how the co-investment is structured, there's always a question about whether the Manager should be entitled to a management fee or carry on amounts co-invested. Investors often seek co-investment opportunities to reduce the overall expense ratio of their investments. The majority of co-investment rights are without additional economics – either management fee or carried interest – to the Manager on the theory that the Manager is already being compensated for managing the portfolio company into which the co-investment dollars are flowing. Where there are no co-invest economics, the Manager has fewer concerns about allowing co-investors to invest directly. However, to maintain control and prevent the co-investor group taking a position relative to the portfolio company that is not in the fund's best interests, the Manager usually prefers the SPV approach.
The SPV structure also facilitates compensation to the Manager from the outset or in the future. There are generally two configurations where the Manager does earn additional economics: a reduced management fee and carry on co-invested monies (generally not more than 50 percent of Fund 2's management fee and carry), or no management fee and a reduced carry (again, usually not more than 50 percent of Fund 2's carry). An SPV entity would structure these payments in the same manner as Fund 2. The carry, if any, in the SPV is usually not offset with losses incurred on prior liquidated Fund 2 investments and is payable upon disposition of the investment regardless of whether all capital has yet been returned in Fund 2. But it is subject to clawback by the SPV in the same fashion as Fund 2's carry distributions.
Co-investments are intended to co-exist with Fund 2's investment and generally the Fund 2's LPA will require that co-investments be invested at the same time and on the same terms and conditions as Fund 2, and be exited at the same time. But that may not always be achievable – and sometimes may not be in the best interest of Fund 2, the co-investors or the portfolio company. Consider the potential scenario:
Avoiding Conflicts of Interest
In any co-investment arrangement there is ample opportunity for conflicts of interest to arise. Circumstances will dictate how to manage a potential conflict of interest.
Generally, our Manager is required to offer to Fund 2 any investment opportunity 'suitable' for it. Thus, there is immediate and palpable pressure on the decision whether a co-investment opportunity even arises. Policies and procedures defining criteria for determining suitability are essential. Sometimes, suitability is easy to determine (i.e., if the commitments remaining to be deployed by Fund 2 are limited), other times not (i.e. when the suitability factors are based on strategic fit, sector or geographic exposure or similar intangibles). Reviewing that policy should be integral to any investor's due diligence.
If the Manager is a registered investment adviser, then the Manager's Code of Ethics and Compliance Manual should contain the Manager's allocation methodologies. If not yet registered, the Manager's allocation methodology should be in writing and available to investors.
If an SPV provides for a reduced carry on co-invested amounts, investors should be cautious about the potential misalignment of interest that creates. Since the SPV's carry is dependent only on the one portfolio investment, the Manager's incentives are different with respect to that investment than with Fund 2's portfolio as a whole. Charging the carry is thus an appropriate topic for clearance with the fund's limited partner advisory committee (LPAC). But even with LPAC approval, the Manager is subject to criticism based on fiduciary principles if, later, it receives carry from the co-investment when the investors in Fund 2 incurred offsetting losses.
The Co-investment Process
When a co-investment opportunity is identified, there is generally a need to move fast. The 'alacrity factor' should be a consideration in assessing to whom a Manager should provide co-investment rights: how fast can the co-investor evaluate an opportunity, make a decision, deal with the final adjustments in the deal, and have availability to sign documents, close and fund? By the time the Manager has enough definition on the terms and conditions of the investment, it is generally fairly close to closing. The 'alacrity factor' is generally low and the Manager may want to close with just the fund and syndicate out participation rights to the co-investors, in which case the deal documents must allow for this. To accommodate the 'alacrity factor':
Other Important Issues
Many other issues – too numerous to discuss here – should be considered in structuring co-investments. For instance:
Structuring co-investments requires careful planning at all stages of a fund life cycle – design and formation, fundraising, deal execution, monitoring, and harvesting. If a Manager does not do this, opportunities to support investments and build relationships through a co-investment program will be limited.

Ara macao
"The Scarlet Macaw is a large, colorful macaw. It is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics."
"Range extends from extreme south-eastern Mexico to Amazonian Peru, Bolivia and Brazil in lowlands up to 500 m (1,640 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft)."
"The Scarlet Macaw can live up to 50 years in captivity, although, a more typical lifespan is 30 to 40 years."
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/563... I wouldn't be surprised if these were taken on the same stretch of road (may be the same trees, may be the same birds).
Beautiful pictures of beautiful birds, Sergei.
Thanks for the precisions Sergei! I see you have now moved the location. I have indeed seen quite a few flying in pairs along the shoreline in Corcovado. They are a magnificent sight!
Daniele you are right. Ara can be seen only on the Pacific coasts: in Corcovado National Park and near Jaco where they have been repopulated in the last years. I didn't remember the exact location and I have written a central city in Costa Rica. This shot was taken along the way between Manuel Antonio National Park and Jacò. There were a big tree with on 3 couples while mating.
Another fantastic shot Sergei! Is the location right though? I thought they were only seen along the Pacific coast these days... but I may be wrong!

Among the stories Wells tells is this one: When David Cone pitched his perfect game at Yankee Stadium on July 17, 1999, Wells was with the Blue Jays and felt tempted to fly to New York to celebrate with Cone.
"It was on (TV) and I was watching," Wells said. "I kid you not, I almost got dressed and went to the airport (thinking), 'I'm going to go party with my buddy.' I came that close to leaving."
The David Wells Yankeeography is scheduled to being at 11 p.m.

Facts and Events
Note: Benjamin Carr died in 1653 leaving his four sons to live with relatives. The two older boys, Robert and Caleb were sent to Plymouth Colony on the "Elizabeth Ann" on May 9, 1635, to live with their Uncle William and Aunt Susan (Rothchild) Carr. William and Susan and their small baby had sailed to America in 1621 on the "Fortune" which was commanded by Capt. Roger Williams. They stayed in Plymouth Colony until June 1622, then with only an Indian as companion and a compass for a guide, they set out on foot in a SW direction through a trackless wilderness. After a journey of 48 days, they came to what is now Mount Hope Bay, where they built their cabin about where Bristol, Rhode Island is located now. (Quoted from Watson's "The House of Carr",1926) |

Seville boss Juande Ramos is the new favourite to take charge at Manchester City. The Spaniard is the new frontrunner to take over at Eastlands after Claudio Ranieri was appointed Juventus manager. The 52-year-old is still overseeing Seville's La Liga title tug-of-war with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
BBC correspondent Jonathan Legard said: "I am told the man that City could now concentrate on is Ramos. He has guided Seville to the Uefa Cup for the last two years. Other names will surely be mentioned but Ramos appears to find most favour." City fans can be assured they would be getting themselves a manager with a track record of winning silverware – having won two Uefa Cups on the bounce – but a glass jaw.

CST recommends transfection with 100nM PAK1 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
Storage: SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.Product Description
SignalSilence® PAK1 siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit PAK1 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
The p21-activated kinase (PAK) family of serine/threonine kinases is engaged in multiple cellular processes, including cytoskeletal reorganization, MAPK signaling, apoptotic signaling, control of phagocyte NADPH oxidase, and growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth (1,2). Several mechanisms that induce PAK activity have been reported. Binding of Rac/Cdc42 to the CRIB (or PBD) domain near the amino terminus of PAK causes autophosphorylation and conformational changes in PAK (1). Phosphorylation of PAK1 at Thr423 by PDK induces activation of PAK1 (3). Several autophosphorylation sites have been identified, including Ser199 and Ser204 of PAK1 and Ser192 and Ser197 of PAK2 (4,5). Because the autophosphorylation sites are located in the amino-terminal inhibitory domain, it has been hypothesized that modification in this region prevents the kinase from reverting to an inactive conformation (6). Research indicates that phosphorylation at Ser144 of PAK1 or Ser139 of PAK3 (located in the kinase inhibitory domain) affects kinase activity (7). Phosphorylation at Ser21 of PAK1 or Ser20 of PAK2 regulates binding with the adaptor protein Nck (8). PAK4, PAK5, and PAK6 have lower sequence similarity with PAK1-3 in the amino-terminal regulatory region (9). Phosphorylation at Ser474 of PAK4, a site analogous to Thr423 of PAK1, may play a pivotal role in regulating the activity and function of PAK4 (10).
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has been used to specifically silence PAK1 expression in MCF-7 cells (11).

I highly recommend this salad! I substituted red gala apples and gorgonzola cheese. After all the ingredients were tossed together, it was incredibly flavorful. The apples really added to the colorful look of the salad. I had a fun time candying the walnuts and they added the perfect sweetness. - 5/16/11

Gregor swears he will never return to the Underland, that strange world below New York City. But he is a key player in another prophecy, this one about an ominous white rat called the Bane. The Underlanders know there is only one way to lure Gregor back to their world: by kidnapping his little sister, Boots. The Bane is destined to bring a World War to the Underland. But when Gregor comes face to face with the Bane, he finds he is unable to kill this creature. His heart tells him he's making the right decision. Will it be a decision he lives to regret?
Now Gregor's quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, and the rebellious princess Luxa. They descend into the dangerous Waterway in search of the Bane. If Gregor does not fulfill the prophecy, his life, and the Underland, will never be the same.

text: Hopefully, you followed our previous post about making a set of personalized dishes and are right now sipping tea from a mug your child painted. If dishes are too big of a commitment for you, how about a stack of painted cloth napkins? Quirky Momma Rachel Miller laid out a couple of yards of linen fabric and let the kids draw and paint all over the fabric. To really get things going, consider letting the kids use non-conventional tools for the project. Rachel let the kids use spoons for the paint instead of just paint brushes. Once dry, follow the manufacturer's directions for the type of paint you used for washing. Rachel washed her fabric on the hot setting with vinegar to set the paint. Cut into napkin-sized squares and you've got perfect table linens. For more photos of Rachel's process, head over to her blog — Quirky Momma. (Images: Rachel Miller)

Top 10 Crazy and Ridiculous Music Photos of 2010
2010 had its share of crazy and ridiculous moments.
Luckily, the never-blinking eye of the camera was there to document the bizarre, ethically questionable, and downright embarrassing situations that surrounded musicians. Remember Miley Cyrus' bong rips, Roger Water's assault on the Elliott Smith Wall or Will.i.am's confusing attempt at black face?
If you've had a little media amnesia this year, here are 10 absolutely ridiculous photos of 2010's crazy moments.

After a recent performance by Nicki Minaj on The Regis and Kelly Show, the 1,002 year-old Regisaurus decided that Minaj's butt was ripe for a (not so) sweet little spank. Alas, Regis seemed to forget that he was on television... on his own show. Such a booty bwap, may have been reserved for behind the scenes at Chez Reeg, but really, in front of the usual daytime audience of moms, unemployed Lehman Brother's execs and construction workers? Classy.
Watch the spank heard round the world here.
9. Courtney Love's Unraveling on Twitter
In 2010, Courtney Love produced nothing of substance other than kind of insane pictures of herself via Twitter. Of the hundreds of photos she snapped of herself, about 15% were naked or revealing in some way or another. Did we really want to see her new tattoos? Or 46 year old bod? Survey says: Naw. PS. Get some help, Court.
8. Lil Wayne's Release Party
When Weezy got sprung from the housou in November, the tatted rapper just wanted a peaceful night alone to curl up on the couch with some cherry-limeade and a copy of Eat, Pray, Love, right? Not quite. Cash Money Records threw him a bash built for king, complete with outlandish Victorian-style ladies to dangle like bling from each of Lil' Waynes' arms.
7. Roger Water's Street Team Hits "Elliott Smith Wall" in Silver Lake
Gustavo Turner |
In May, Silver Lake's tagged up memorial mural to Elliott Smith received a new piece graffiti courtesy of Roger Waters. His street team slapped up a wheat paste poster with an Eisenhower quote on the wall imbued with special significance to some in the Silver Lake community. The Weekly's Gustavo Turner summed it up: "Yup, Elliott Smith's moving memorial is now part of Waters' "guerrilla" marketing campaign for expensive tickets to a nostalgia gig aimed at wealthy Boomers." Read all about it here.
6. Lady Gaga Lollapalooza Stage Dive
Erika Goldring/FilmMagic |
During a cameo with Semi Precious Weapons at Lollapalooza, Lady Gaga leapt from the stage into a crowd wearing just a fishnet jumpsuit and some pasties. The audience members groped and grabbed at her, tearing her clothes and making for a scene that was disturbing to witness.
5. Miley Cyrus' Hits from the Bong
There she is. Miss Miley Cyrus aka Hanna Bongtana hoovering up some of the wacky tabacky. Not sure how she missed the person taking a video of her while she took some serious rips, but we're glad she did, because this picture is pure gold.
4. Kanye
Just when it seemed that Kanye West couldn't hype up his album anymore, this still from his 30-minute pretentious mini-movie for "Runaway." This image had WTF written all over it. Floating babes, Renaissance styling, and the bling to end all bling? Yeah, yeah, we all love Kehinde Wiley. We get it. Who does Kanye think he is?
3. Will.i.am in Black face
Getty |
So, um, well, here's Will.i.am in black face. Somehow this look appealed to him when he walked the carpet the MTV VMA's in Los Angeles earlier this year. We're not sure about his helmet, or those glasses, but black face? Yes, he's black, in black face. Don't try to figure it out, you may have an aneurysm.
2. Too Skinny 50 Cent
Back in March, 50 Cent tweeted a picture of himself that was nearly unrecognizable. The usually beefy 50 was now a gaunt blank-eyed zombie. He had dropped 50 pounds to play a cancer-ridden football player for the film "Things Fall Apart." The movie is due out next year so we'll have to wait to see if skinny 50 can actually act. But just look at those cheekbones. Turn him sideways and you've got a Skittle dish.
And the #1 weirdest 2010 music picture is...
1. Fresh Step Danzig
Earlier this year Danzig was spotted making a pit stop to pick up some Fresh Step Kitty litter for some little fuzzballs he had back home. The image raises so many questions. How may cats does he have? Why does he prefer Fresh Step? What are his kitties' names? Does he want their skulls too? Why is Danzig wearing a Danzig shirt? Is it laundry day as well?

Funny Games
In this provocative and brutal thriller from director Michael Haneke, a vacationing family gets an unexpected visit from two deeply disturbed young men. Over one long night their idyllic holiday turns nightmarish as they are subjected to unimaginable terrors and struggle to stay alive.
Remade from his own acclaimed 1997 film, "Funny Games" is written and directed by Michael Haneke ("Caché"), and stars Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet and Devon Gearhart.
The vacation begins with Anna, George and their son Georgie on their way to their summer home. The neighbors, Fred and Eva, are already there. They make a date to play golf the next morning. It's a perfect day.
Anna begins to make dinner, while her husband and son are busy with the newly renovated sailboat. Suddenly, Anna finds herself face to face with a polite young man, the neighbors' guest Peter, who has come to ask for some eggs because Eva has run out. Anna is about to give Peter the eggs, but hesitates. How did he get onto their property? Peter explains that there's a hole in the fence - Fred showed it to him.
Things seem strange from the beginning. Soon, violence erupts. The thriller follows the rules of its genre, providing the deliverance that allows the audience to feel comfortable watching the film.
Michael Haneke began to explore his favorite subject, violence and the media, with the original 1997 film, Funny Games, and revisits it here with the same eye.
Haneke's trilogy (The Seventh Continent - 1989; Benny's Video - 1992; 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance - 1994), particularly Benny's Video, exposes the consequences of the media's portrayal of violence. Funny Games subverts the genre to allow audiences to observe that violence, and making them complicit by forcing them to see their own role through a series of emotional and analytical episodes.

As part of the AIGA Design Census, our design team were asked to visualize data from the inaugural report. The 2016 Design Census is partnership between AIGA and Google.
As we head into 2017, what's top of mind for leading brand experience experts? To get some perspective on this, I sat down with a handful of my colleagues at Siegel+Gale. Here we share their imperatives for the year ahead.
In recent years, we've witnessed the emergence of a number of high-growth companies with valuations of more than $1 billion. These companies all originated from the desire to not only revolutionize their industries by reducing friction and innovating on customer experience, but also by making their names synonymous with what a strong brand can and should be.

This is out of print Vogue pattern 7058. Long skirt and top. I made it up in fabric I bought years ago, I love the yellow and blue colors together. The skirt is simple with pockets, the top has the jackie-o vintage neckline. Both very easy to make. I have seen this pattern for sale on ebay. I plan to make the top in cotton fabric for a more casual look.
Material Notes
Raw silk (skirt), not sure what the fabric is for the top.
