Its that time of year again. Time to put away the air conditioners, open up the windows and welcome the beautiful fall weather. With open windows, however, our home becomes more accessible to burglars if we're not careful. Like most crimes, burglary is a crime of opportunity. If we eliminate the opportunity, we can eliminate some of the crime.
Here are a few helpful tips to ring in a safe and enjoyable fall:

I am nesting. But not in the nursery department.
I also have Spring Fever, which makes me want to liven things up around my house.
My living room has been a tough room for a long time. It's always felt "unfinished." I have finally decided to pay some attention to it. I started with the easy part. Pillows!
We added an adorable little chest, which we painted bright turquoise against our paler blue walls. It's got gold accents, which look great against our straw-colored sofa.
Now, I'm wanting to update lighting. I want something a little more modern to juxtapose with our mostly French-style antiques. I think after scouring site after site for lighting that is fabulous, but also affordable (really? $700 for lamps?!), I have finally found what I'm looking for… enter Pepita glass lamps from you'll never guess where!

The man in the picture is not a pirate.
It's my husband, Curtis, who underwent Mohs surgery for the removal of a small basal cell carcinoma along and near his lower eyelid.
Though the skin cancer wasn't much by itself — "It won't kill you," the doctor said — the reconstruction proved a challenge. A skin graft, taken from his other eyelid, was necessary, and for six weeks his eye was sewn shut to allow time for the graft to work its magic.
My husband felt more comfortable wearing an eye patch when we left the house. We were prepared that people would ask questions, but not for the uniform reaction.
"AAARRRGGHHH!" said a neighbor as we walked our dog.
"A bottle of rum, perhaps?" asked the waiter who took our drink order.
"Ahoy, Cap'n," saluted the Buddhist monk when my husband showed up for his dharma class.
It got old.
Admittedly, every comment was usually followed by a concerned "What did you do to yourself?" (unless, of course, it was followed by "Shiver me timbers!"). We knew people weren't purposely being insensitive. My husband coolly took it in stride, and I kept my head down.
But we often asked ourselves, especially after the greeting from the monk, "Where's the compassion?"
Crutches, canes and casts all convey the same wordless message: Something bad happened. What about an eye patch makes the conversation go in a whole other direction?
It's not that we couldn't laugh at our situation. "Do I look like the overgrown fly in the movie?" my husband asked as he put on giant sunglasses, a parting gift from the ophthalmology surgeon.
There were some welcome exceptions. "Curtis, what happened?" a friend's teenage son inquired as he stopped short on his skateboard while we unloaded groceries. "You're going to be OK, right?"
My husband explained it all.
"Bummer. Stay cool," the kid said, and rode away down the alley.
It was. We did.

AP Source: Pistons land Butler, Augustin
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons have agreed to deals with free agents Caron Butler and D.J. Augustin, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the team has not announced the deals.
The team is set to pay Butler $4.5 million next season, with an option for 2015-16. Augustin will make $6 million over two years.
Detroit has missed the playoffs the last five seasons, and the Pistons recently hired Stan Van Gundy as their new coach and team president. The first order of business this offseason has been to add some perimeter help for the team's imposing set of big men.
The 6-foot-7 Butler played 56 games last season for Milwaukee and Oklahoma City, averaging 10.5 points and shooting 39 percent from 3-point range.
Augustin was waived by Toronto early last season, but the 26-year-old point guard caught on with Chicago after that and ended up averaging 13.1 points for the season. He shot 40 percent from beyond the arc.
The Pistons have also agreed to terms with Jodie Meeks, who shot 40 percent from 3-point range with the Los Angeles Lakers last season.
Only one Detroit player in 2013-14 — Kyle Singler — shot over 34 percent from 3-point range while playing major minutes. The Pistons were unable to take advantage of big men Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith because of the team's inability to produce outside the paint.
Monroe is a restricted free agent, but if he comes back, Detroit would still have an imposing frontcourt. The Pistons now have more options on the perimeter as well, with Meeks, Butler and Augustin joining holdovers Singler, Brandon Jennings, Will Bynum and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Officials at the Ozarks Regional YMCA, which operates seven branches in southern Missouri, are protesting the local park board's plans to build a new community center in close proximity to a Y.
The county-run Dan Kinney Family Center will feature fitness facilities and group exercise studios, and an aquatics center is planned for a later phase of development. Springfield-Greene County Parks and Recreation intends to build the facility on the grounds of a newly opened county park that is about 5 miles from the Pat Jones YMCA in Springfield, MO.
The CEO of Ozarks Regional YMCA, Brad Toft, told the Springfield News-Leader that the new facility is a waste of taxpayer dollars because it will duplicate the services of the nearby Y.
Jodie Adams, parks director for Springfield-Greene County Parks and Recreation, said that the area's growing population can support both centers and that the park board is carrying out plans approved by voters in 2006.
Y officials argue that the 2006 park sales tax proposal only listed the Dan Kinney Park project and did not include the family fitness and aquatics facility.
Construction of the new center is scheduled to commence in July.

Chicago music has long gone gaga over the Brits, and not simply because the city's two leading opera companies are, or were, run by thoroughly capable Englishmen – Anthony Freud at Lyric Opera and Brian Dickie, who retired last year after 13 seasons as general director of Chicago Opera Theater.
For now, let's raise a pint to the two English conductors, music director Jane Glover and principal guest conductor Nicholas Kraemer, who are shaping the artistic fortunes of Chicago's Music of the Baroque. Thanks to their musical leadership, a proficient orchestra and chorus, and steady hands on the managerial tiller, the organization can point to a decade of artistic and audience growth unhampered by a sputtering economy.
Indeed, the stylistic awareness, interpretive depth and sheer ebullience of outlook Glover has brought to MOB's core Baroque and Classical orchestral and choral repertory in the course of her 10 years here have made it one of the most admired groups of its type in the nation.
"I'm astonished that it's been 10 years already, which I think shows that we're having such a good time," says Glover, who will conduct MOB's annual Mozart birthday celebration at weekend concerts in Chicago and Skokie.
Making music here "is actually my favorite thing to do – I love it more than anything else I do in the whole year and in the whole world," she exclaims. "I think Chicago is one of the most thrilling cities on the planet. I've made very good friends here."
Glover's love affair with Chicago is remarkable, given her British loyalties and extensive involvement with various orchestral and choral ensembles in her native land. Before coming to MOB, the Yorkshire native served in various leadership positions with the Glyndebourne Opera, London Choral Society, London Mozart Players and Huddersfield Choral Society. Since 2009 she has from all reports been thriving as artistic director of opera at London's Royal Academy of Music.
When asked to what she attributes her successes over the last decade here, she replies, "I inherited a wonderful team and we've built on that. We have established the sort of repertory we do best, with Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mozart as our musical foundation. We've got the most wonderful choir, directed by William Jon Gray, in addition to the most wonderful set of players," drawn from the ranks of the Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera orchestras.
"I respect the way our players can come from rehearsing Bruckner or Wagner in the morning to rehearsing Bach or Handel with us in the afternoon. Within 20 minutes we've retrieved our own sound – that speaks volumes for the quality of the musicians we have.
"What I love about our lot is that everybody contributes and takes responsibility. We don't make these players try to be something they're not." Even so, "together we have found our own 'house style,' which is informed by the fact that a lot of us work with period instrument groups.
"Now, I'm not biased or anything," she adds, "but I would say this is one of the best chamber orchestras I know."
Glover tries to be even-handed when parceling out repertory between herself and Kraemer, she says. "We're very good friends, and although our repertory is very similar, it's also complementary – he's good at certain things I'm not so good at, and vice versa. We sort of dish out the big Bach works between ourselves."
As a matter of fact, the music director will conclude MOB's current season in May with two performances of J.S. Bach's "St. John Passion," which Kraemer conducted with the group in 2006. Her big Handel oratorio of the year will be "Israel in Egypt," scheduled for two performances in April. Kraemer will direct two Haydn symphonies and Handel's "Water Music" suites at MOB concerts in February.
A renowned 18th century scholar and author of the compelling history, "Mozart's Women," Glover says playing so much of Wolfgang Amadeus' music over the years has nurtured and refined the way MOB approaches the rest of its repertory.
"Mozart is absolutely one of the composers who is most important to me," she declares, noting that during the last 10 years her orchestra has performed all the major Mozart symphonies, some of them more than once. "I can never open a Mozart score without feeling a sense of intense excitement. You never get blase about playing his music, because he's always surprising and challenging you."
Although Glover has enjoyed a close association with Chicago Opera Theater concurrent to her tenure at MOB, Lyric Opera has never invited her to conduct any of its productions. Fortunately the Metropolitan Opera is not so blinded: She will make her company debut in December, leading Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
"I'm very lucky, I really am," the busy conductor says. "I realize that even when I'm exhausted at the end of the day. My life is very blessed."
Jane Glover will lead the Music of the Baroque orchestra in an all-Mozart program with soloists Vladimir Feltsman, piano, and Arianna Zukerman, soprano, at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, 205 E. Randolph Drive; and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., Skokie; $27-$75; 312-551-1414, baroque.org.
CSO to play Morton Arboretum
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is following through on plans revealed last year to reach out to potential new audiences in DuPage County. The orchestra has announced it will present five concerts in late June at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, just ahead of its annual residency at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park.
Richard Kaufman will conduct film music by John Williams to open the west suburban series June 27. An all-Tchaikovsky program with Carlos Miguel Prieto conducting, and Jennifer Koh as violin soloist, is set for the evening of June 29. Prieto also will lead a family-oriented concert on June 30, program to be announced. During the day on June 29, an ensemble of CSO members will give two performances of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," from its "Once Upon a Symphony" educational series, for families with children ages 3 to 5.
Tickets will go on sale March 20 via the orchestra's website, cso.org, and at the box office; 312-294-3000.

22 NATO supply trucks destroyed in Afghanistan
Updated at 3 p.m. ET
(AP) KABUL, Afghanistan - The Taliban detonated a bomb on a fuel tanker Wednesday and then opened fire on other NATO supply trucks, destroying 22 vehicles loaded with fuel and other goods for U.S.-led coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Elsewhere in the country, a suicide bomber killed three Afghan soldiers at a checkpoint in the east, while militants killed nine more government troops in an ambush in the south. Three NATO service members were also killed in insurgent attacks.
The violence comes as Afghan forces are taking charge of security in more areas across the country ahead of the planned withdrawal of the U.S.-led coalition's combat forces by the end of 2014. To show they remain a resilient force, insurgents are conducting targeted attacks, even in relatively peaceful parts of the country.

IEDs becoming less deadly in Afghanistan
One of the places is Samangan province in the north, where the Taliban said they attacked NATO supply trucks parked overnight in the Rabatak area.
"We put explosives on a fuel tanker. When it exploded, we fired on the trucks," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press by telephone.
Sidiq Azizi, a spokesman for the province, said many tankers and semi-trailers caught fire after the bomb went off around 2 a.m.
Hours later, plumes of thick black smoke still billowed from the area, and firefighters were spraying water on the burning vehicles.
"There was a big boom," Azizi said. "It's possible that is was a magnetic bomb from insurgents. We are investigating."
"I counted 20 fuel tankers burning. There is still a very big fire," said Azizi, who was at the scene. "The weather is very hot and it's hard to get close to the fire."
The tankers in the convoy were transporting fuel south toward the Afghan capital, Kabul, from neighboring Uzbekistan to the north.
Earlier this week, militants destroyed three NATO supply trucks in Sayd Abad district of Wardak province in eastern Afghanistan.
Convoy traffic in the east has increased since Pakistan reopened its border crossings about two weeks ago. Islamabad blocked NATO supply trucks for seven months in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
In the suicide blast in the east, a man wearing an Afghan army uniform blew himself up at a checkpoint in Logar province, killing three Afghan troops, said provincial spokesman Din Mohammad Darwesh. The Taliban issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack in Baraki Barak district. Two other Afghan soldiers and a translator were wounded.
The Helmand provincial governor's office said the Afghan soldiers died when armed militants attacked an Afghan National Army checkpoint in Washer district. Seven insurgents were killed in the attack, the governor's office said. Insurgents also clashed Tuesday night with Afghan police in Nad Ali district. An insurgent commander was killed and six other militants were captured during the battle, the governor's office said.
Insurgents are trying to regain territory they lost during the past two years when tens of thousands of U.S., NATO and Afghan forces routed them from their strongholds in the south.
NATO said two service members were killed in a roadside bombing Wednesday in the east, while another died Tuesday in an insurgent attack in the south. So far this year, 240 coalition service members have been killed in Afghanistan, including at least 172 Americans.
Also Wednesday, NATO also said a coalition helicopter crashed in the west, injuring two other service members. No other information has been released about the crash, which is under investigation.

Childless Couples Get New Hope as NHS Scarborough & Ryedale Offers IVF
Published by the Minster FM News Team at 1:38pm 28th May 2014.
Local GPs on the NHS Scarborough and Ryedale CCG Governing Body have today agreed to reintroduce In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment for women in the area.
IVF, which has been a hot topic since the former Primary Care Trust ceased funding it in 2011 due to financial pressures, was today discussed at the CCG's Governing Body meeting held in public at Ryedale District Council. The item was presented by Carrie Wollerton, Executive Nurse on the Governing Body. Her recommendation to establish a working group to further investigate options for reintroducing IVF received wide support from other Governing Body members.
Mrs Wollerton explained that although the funding of IVF did not feature on the CCG's financial plans for 2014/15, funding should still be considered; particularly in light of moves by neighbouring CCGs to reintroduce some form of IVF treatment.
Mrs Wollerton said: "Due to the fact the CCG has managed to achieve its target of ending the financial year with a one percent surplus, and in line with our promise to review the commissioning position around IVF after our first year of operation, it is encouraging that the Governing Body has supported this recommendation.
"There are various factors we must now consider in terms of reintroducing IVF, including things like the number of cycles to commission and the criteria for who is eligible to receive them. It's important however that all these factors are considered alongside any financial implications, as well as their fit with guidance from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)."
Although no specific deadline was given by the CCG for the reintroduction of IVF, it has given a commitment to establishing the working group and reaching a decision as soon as possible on the level of service to be commissioned. Further updates will be published in due course.

In a musical genre where headlines seem to be created nearly every day, there's usually no shortage of newsworthy material in Hip Hop and the year 2012 was no different. With each calendar year, the Hip Hop world seems to sprout news stories that are an intriguing array of the shocking, predictable and, at times, inspirational. This year, fans of Hip Hop and those directly involved in the genre seemed to do a little reevaluating following the death of a teen rapper in Chicago and the way in which his death was mocked via social networking by up and coming rapper Chief Keef. And only months prior, a holographic Tupac at Coachella served as a captivating example of the unparalleled power of Hip Hop.
From Shyne picking fights with everyone to Frank Ocean's gutsy open letter and all the unexpected Gunplay madness in between, HipHopDX picked the Top 10 News Stories of 2012.
Chief Keef Laughs At Death Of Fellow Rapper, Says He Was Hacked
Teen rapper Chief Keef quickly worked his way from viral sensation to mainstream buzzmaker thanks to his record "I Don't Like" and its accompanying video, but the Chi-Town spitter rapidly found himself among Hip Hop's most notorious following remarks he made via Twitter in regards to the death of fellow Chicago rapper Joseph "JoJo" Coleman. "HahahahahhahahahahahahahaahhAAHAHAHAHA #RichNiggaShit," Keef Tweeted back in September. "Its Sad Cuz Dat Nigga Jojo Wanted To Be Jus Like Us #LMAO."
Keef's Twitter taunts eventually found the Interscope Records signee under investigation by local authorities. The rapper later claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked and offered up his prayers to JoJo's family.
Lil Wayne Fires Shots At Jay-Z & Kanye West
All it took was a subliminal shot at the Jay-Z and Kanye West pairing – better known as The Throne – to reawaken the squabble between rappers Hov and Weezy. During a Cash Money Grammy party in February, Weezy added fuel to the lyrical fire as he rapped, "I met a bad red bone, I took the bitch home/ I asked her what she want to watch, she said surely not The Throne." But by the time the 2012 BET Awards rolled around in July things again seemed kosher between both the G.O.O.D. Music and Young Money camps as Kanye West, Big Sean, Baby, Nicki Minaj and Tyga were all able to coexist during the taping of the awards show at the Shrine Auditorium.
Pusha T Disses Drake & Young Chop, Lil Wayne Responds
Issues between the G.O.O.D. Music and Young Money camps were again reawakened with the release of Pusha T's record "Exodus 23:1." The Clipse emcee seemed to take aim at Drake as he rapped, "Contract all fucked / Explain up I guess that means you all fucked up / You signed to one nigga that signed to another nigga that's signed to three niggas / Now that's bad luck." While Drake remained relatively silent, Young Money founder Lil Wayne immediately fired back in a not so subliminal way as he warned, "Fuk pusha t and anybody that love em," in a post made via Twitter. Weezy also responded to Pusha T's record with a diss track of his own titled "Goulish."
Pusha T would later reveal in an interview with Booska-P.com that he had no "personal beef" with Lil Wayne or any of the artists signed to Young Money and that he was instead focused on making "good music" with the release of "Exodus 23:1."
G. Dep Sentenced To Fifteen Years In Prison
In May of this year, nearly two years after turning himself in to authorities at a Harlem police station, former Bad Boy artist G. Dep was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus. Back in December 2010, the Harlem rapper walked into New York City's 25th precinct and confessed to robbing and murdering a man in 1993. Although G-Dep now faces 15-years-to-life, he described his conviction as being "the end of a nightmare" in a recent interview with New York magazine and also shared that he was "happy" to have received his long-awaited sentence
Gunplay Robbery Caught On Tape
The month of October wasn't all too kind to Maybach Music Group artist and Triple C's member Gunplay. At the start of the month, footage was released showing the Miami-based rapper being jumped by what was allegedly members of 50 Cent's entourage. While this footage may have taken a brief swipe at the rapper's pride, footage released later in the month of Gunplay would land the rapper in a hefty amount of legal trouble. In the video, which was released by gossip powerhouse TMZ, Gunplay is seen pulling a gun on a man who is said to have been his accountant.
Prior to the video being released, Gunplay turned himself in to police and subsequently missed a scheduled performance at Atlanta's A3C Hip Hop Festival. The MMG spitter was released from jail on $150,000 bond and is currently on house arrest until he faces his armed robbery and assault charges during trial.
Mobb Deep Breaks Up On Twitter
Following a slew of malicious comments made via Twitter and even a diss record or two, noted Queensbridge duo Mobb Deep finally called it quits earlier in the year to the surprise of many fans of The Infamous architects. When Havoc claimed that a series of anger-fueled Tweets made from his Twitter account aimed at Prodigy were due to a hacker, things between the duo again seemed kosher, but the relationship between the two rhymeslingers would soon unravel into finality when Havoc revealed that Mobb Deep was on "hiatus indefinitely."
Dr. Dre Performs With Tupac Hologram At Coachella 2012
Despite appearances from the likes of A$AP Rocky, Childish Gambino and Frank Ocean, the highlight of the 2012 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival came courtesy of the late Tupac Shakur. The iconic rapper seemed to be brought back to life momentarily thanks to a $100,000 hologram created by Hollywood-based studio Digital Domain. Alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, the shirtless Tupac hologram went on to perform "Hail Mary" and "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted" much to the delight of festival attendees and live stream viewers. Although the Tupac hologram was easily worth at least a few weeks of water cooler chatter, the popularity of the hologram didn't keep its creators from filing bankruptcy in September.
Hot 97 Makes Beef With YMCMB Public
It merely took a few words for the firestorm between HOT 97 personality Peter Rosenberg and Nicki Minaj to erupt. And once it did, it took the beef, which Spin magazine referred to as "The Worst Beef Ever," ample time to cool down. Following Rosenberg's comments made at Summer Jam's smaller outdoor stage which included a "fuck that bullshit" aimed at Minaj's music, the rapstress was quickly yanked from what was to be her first headlining performance at the annual festival.
And the Summer Jam soiree of course couldn't conclude without an infamous rant from HOT 97 mainstay Funkmaster Flex who didn't hesitate in expressing his distaste for "commercial rappers." Flex's comments eventually led to an on-air phone interview between himself and Minaj which proved to be more entertaining than problem-solving.
Frank Ocean (Sort Of) Comes Out In Open Letter
In a letter originally penned as the liner notes for his debut album, Channel Orange, Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean shocked music fans when he revealed that he once fell in love with another man. In his candid letter, Ocean never referred to himself as being bi-sexual or gay but his words opened the doors to an open discussion on music and homosexuality, particularly in the genres of Hip Hop and R&B.
In a recent feature with GQ magazine, Ocean spoke on his letter and revealed how elated he was after addressing his sexuality. "All the receptors were now receiving a different signal, and I was happy. I hadn't been happy in so long. I've been sad again since, but it's a totally different take on sad. There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness," the singer shared.
Shyne Engages In Beef With Multiple Rappers
After being pictured with Diddy at Paris Fashion Week at the top of the year, it seemed as if former Bad Boy artist Shyne had finally put his differences with his former boss behind him. As it turns out, it was only a matter of months before Shyne was again on the offense, referring to Diddy as "a rat" and even dropping the diss record "You're Welcome." Shyne's feud with Diddy may have eventually fizzled out, but in its place were spats with 50 Cent and even Maybach Music head honcho Rick Ross.
Most recently, Shyne took aim at Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar, referring to his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city as "trash." And while Kendrick didn't seem too keen on a feud with Shyne, fellow West Coast emcee Game quickly took up for the TDE rapper and immediately proceeded to trade jabs with Shyne via Twitter and through diss records.

As the year winds down, WitOut collects lists from comedy performers and fans of their favorite moments, comedians, groups, shows, etc. from the last year in Philly comedy. Top 5 of 2012 lists will run throughout December–if you'd like to write one, pitch us your list at email@example.com!
5. Seeing Robert X perform live for the first time at Noche
I had actually seen Robert X perform on YouTube via Reddit, and then a few months later he moved to Philly. Blew me right away.
4. All of the new mics.
Tight Six, Accidents Will Happen, Number 2 and more have all been incredible. Seeing new talent take the reigns and support each other has really lit up the scene.
3. Brendan Kennedy Week
I've known Brendan for years, and now he's moving to LA. In the first week of December he was on a bunch of shows that concluded with his roast. It was the most fun I've ever had at a three-hour show.
2. Noche's last mic night
I always looked forward to Noche every Tuesday. But it was time to put that baby to bed. And it was done with a bang. For two years we entertained strangers there, and I'm sad to see it go.
1. Hosting Laughs on Fairmount
I hosted laughs on Fairmount the Monday before Valentine's Day. The day of the mic, I didn't want to go. But I sucked it up and did it anyway. Around the 35th comic I decided I wasn't going to do jokes anymore and started hitting on this woman in the front row. I've been dating her ever since.
Alex Pearlman is a local Philadelphia comedian and host of Something Witty at the Dive Bar. The next FREE showcase there is this Friday, Dec. 21st at 9pm. To watch him slowly die during most open mics, follow him on twitter: @alexpearlman

I think it's about time we introduce you to a special occupant of the Artifact Lab.
This baby boy mummy, who dates to the Third Intermediate Period (1075-656 BCE), has been in our collection since 1898, when he was donated to the museum by Dr. Henry Shurtleff.
In the University's 1898-1899 Annual Report of the Provost to the Board of Trustees, it states that Dr. Shurtleff presented the infant mummy to the museum on Christmas Day, as an "admirably preserved specimen and an interesting pathological subject".
It seems that this mummy came into the collection unwrapped – he only has small amounts of textile preserved on his body (and there is currently no evidence that the cloth partially covering his body in the image above is related to his remains, but this remains to be determined). While the fact that he is unwrapped is unfortunate, it allows us to see how well preserved his remains are and evidence of how his body was mummified, including evisceration through an incision on the left side of his torso.
A CT scan in 2009 further reveals how this boy's body was mummified, and also reveals damage not visible from the exterior. For example, it is clear that his brain was removed, likely through the nose (but due to the small side of his nasal bones it is not possible to see evidence of this). The scan also reveals a large hole in the left lower side of his skull, and the piece of missing bone resting inside his skull.
Oddly, this damage to his skull is not visible from the exterior, but it may be the result of trauma. His cause of death has still not been determined, but this damage may provide a clue.
The information from the CT scan tells us that this child was less than 2 years of age when he died, based on the fact that his fontanelle (the soft spot) is still open, and also on the development of his teeth.
The excellent preservation of his body is not the only remarkable thing about this baby boy. While examining his remains, we noticed traces of a green substance in areas, including on his face and fingers.
This substance resembles copper corrosion, and it may either be corrosion from copper that was once in contact with his body (during burial), or may be traces of a green copper-based pigment. How do we know this green substance is copper-based? We tested it with our portable x-ray fluorescence analyzer, which showed high peaks for copper in these areas.
While we're still working to interpret some of this information, I can tell you one thing for certain: this baby boy mummy sure is special. And if you visit the lab, you just might catch a glimpse of him.

After the appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan, Alex Jones and Infowars video producer Rob Dew noticed they were being followed, watched and approached by possibly undercover agents claiming to be fans.
Alex was promised three segments on Morgan's show; however, his producers apparently cancelled the last segment after Jones continued bashing Morgan with unscripted truths and facts.

Grace Miner, eight years old, is part of the Womanthology: Heroic: a book featuring female comic artists of all ages. Grace contributed Paula Pansy ("comes in handy..."), a little girl who can stomp on bad guys. Her father Tim found out about the Womanthology project via Twitter, and Grace decided to enter her artwork.
I was sent a video of Grace answering my questions. She was sitting in the room where she does her art. It is a beautiful space with a large art table, supplies easily accessible and artwork around the walls. Grace likes to work in this space which is also her father's office.
At first Grace thought it was a joke her dad was playing; she didn't believe she had actually been accepted into the anthology. When she realized she was going to be published, she felt very excited because, "It was a big thing in my life."
Her inspiration comes from the internet and her own imagination. She likes to plan, and Paula Pansy took a long time to figure out. Grace was inspired by a real-life friend of hers named Paula who likes to grow things and is shy. This illustration, accompanied by a short poem, is about a little girl who can grow big and defeat bullies. Speaking of bullies...
The next question I asked was about comic book publishers that don't think woman make good artists, and people who make comments that girls can't draw. Grace felt that sometimes people don't think before they speak, not realizing how much they can hurt others. She personally knows that women can draw because, with their father's encouragement, she and her sister are getting better and better at their craft.
Grace talked about how girls can like whatever boys like (and vice versa). She likes comic books a lot and pointed out that there is no difference between a boy or girl comic; adult vs kids comics can be very different. Some of her favorite comics are Tiny Titans, ScribbleMonster,The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook, and Babymouse, which are inspiring for this artist-in-training.
I asked Grace what she would say to a girl who was very shy about her art. "No matter what people think, it's really fun. It's a great thing to do. Who cares what other people say? You should believe your instincts." She encourages all artists to get used to putting their art out there.
Also in the video was her little sister Kate, whom Grace credits with helping her with art (they were hugging throughout the interview.) Her little sister needed to tell everyone, "Girls can draw! Not just boys!" It seems that the whole family values art. Thanks, Grace!
I am so enjoying these interviews with the younger artists of Womanthology. They are an inspiration for all artists in the world with their confidence and talent. More to come!

Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi-Al Faragh Handbag
At Design Interviews
Interview with Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : Our design was inspired by the women around us who wanted to own beautiful yet functional handbags that help them solve some of the daily issues they face. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : For this bag in particular, we wanted to resolve the issue of bag placement women face when they are out or when they are travelling. By designing this bag that could be hanged on the table, we provided them with a stylish solution .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : We have many plans for this award winning design, one of them would be creating the same handbag in a bigger size and different colors's combinations. We also would like to develop even further the notion of this side void that is the reason behind its win. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : It took us around 3 months from the moment the idea was born until the first sample was produced. A lot of trials were done before we approved the final product. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : We pursued an inspiration after realizing that although there were many beautiful handbags on the market, a few of them actually tried to assess and solve some of the issues their holders face. And we wanted to be ones who design handbags with a purpose. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : For the moment, our design is being produced by us. As for future plans regarding the lease or selling of production rights, it all depends on the opportunities we are presented with. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : We are two sisters architects who have always been drawn to fashion. And when the opportunity of designing our own line of handbags presented itself, and we found that we have a different perspective we can bring onto the business, we decided to venture in this particular type of work. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : What influenced our work and our way of designing is our architectural background. It helped us to think in a different way and always present beautiful concepts that have a purpose; a concept we have applied when designing our handbags. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : Our target customers are women who like to own luxurious and fashionable items that distinguish themselves from the market by having a specific function and/or an out-of-the-box silhouette. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : The idea behind the design, its unusual shape along with its unique functions are the elements that separate it from other bags available on the market. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : This handbag is called "Al Faragh" which means "The Void" in Arabic. This handbag was named after its most prominent feature that makes it completely unique. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : At first, we sketched the idea then after discussion and details tweaking, we drew it on Auto CAD and developed the colors' combination on Photoshop, before finally producing the first sample. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : The most unique aspect of our design is the side void that allows the bag's owner to hang it on the table when having lunch or dinner. It also created two internal compartments where women can neatly organize their belongings. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : We collaborated with craftsmen who work with genuine leather in order to produce the bags. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : Technology helped us transform the design from an idea to an actual product that can be used. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : Yes, our design was influenced by market research. After realizing there was a lack in functional bags, we conducted a survey asking women about the challenges they faced when carrying their handbags. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : The major challenge we faced was creating a solid handbag that wouldn't be deformed by the side void. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : After reading about the competition online, we realized that our design fitted most of the competition's criteria and requirement, we decided to submit it. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Chantal & Daisy El Jurdi : We learned a lot about the types of leather, which ones to use and which ones to avoid. We also learned what colors of handbags most women like to own, as well as the features they would like their handbags to possess. .

Bob Veres posted a typically interesting piece April 1on FP Daily (I think he was serious…) about a poll he conducted asking advisors about their current concerns. Predictably, their worries included "another market meltdown," "FINRA regulation," and "Political Irresponsibility." But at the top of the list was a bit of a surprise, at least to me: "Eroding confidence in the fairness of the investment system…"
Don't get me wrong: I'm not at all surprised at waning investor confidence in our financial system. That happens virtually every time we have a drop in the markets significant enough to drive some Fortune 500 companies out of business. As the worst economic collapse since 1929, the 2007 Subprime Meltdown more than qualifies. What I am surprised about is that independent advisors are concerned about it. Historically, it's exactly times like that drive investors in droves to independents, continuing the long-term erosion of Wall Street's dominance of the retail market.
In fact, it was a collapse not all that different from our most recent one that spawned the creation of the financial planning profession. In the late 1960s, the "Nifty Fifty" largest U.S. companies were all the rage on Wall Street and with retail investors, who were lining up to invest in a new-fangled vehicle called a "mutual fund," which enabled them to own all 50 stocks at once. (I know, mutual funds had been in existence since the 1920s, but apparently it was a whole different world back then.)
This over-exuberance predictably (in hindsight), led to the market collapse of '69—and to a 1971 meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Hilton of a group of mutual fund salesmen who were looking for a way to overcome the prevailing loss of confidence, along with a better way to protect their clients from the ups and downs of the markets. They determined that "better way" was comprehensive financial planning, and the organization they launched that day became the College for Financial Planning, and eventually, both the CFP Board and the FPA as well.
Looking back from our vantage point of today's planning profession, it's hard to get a feel for just how radical an idea this was. Yes, they still intended to sell mutual funds (and insurance, and later tax shelters), yet for the first time on a broad scale, those sales would be based on what was good for the client, rather than for the "advisor" or the firm they worked for. It was one of those moments when the world shifted: as financial advisors began to move from the financial services industry's side of the table over to the clients' side.
Over the years, I've often told audiences that I believe a financial planner/financial advisor/RIA's job is to protect their clients from the financial services industry. It's a bit of hyperbole, but I still believe the underlying sentiment is true. Sure, there are many "enlightened" financial services companies that realize doing right by their customers is good business. But there are also powerful financial incentives to put a firm's interests ahead of the clients'. And as we all know, some companies don't do a very good job of resisting this temptation.
The point is that today the stakes are too high and the learning curve too steep for financial consumers to go it alone. Consequently, it is both the legacy and the job of financial planners to represent their clients' interests in the increasingly complex financial world. To do that, planners need to maintain a high degree of "independence" from the financial services industry. We can debate about just what that independence should look like, but as far as I can tell, as a result of their "eroding confidence in the financial system," retail investors are increasingly recognizing their need for "independent" financial advice.
Rather than a cause for concern, today offers the best opportunity for independent advisors in over 40 years. Why do you think all those brokers are "breaking away" from?

What does Ashton Kutcher have in common with Sir Lawrence Olivier? A gentlemanly approach to awkward sex scenes.
"You sort of try to set some ground rules and apologize for them," says Kutcher, who shares spicy sequences with Natalie Portman in the racy rom-com "No Strings Attached." "I always use Sir Lawrence Olivier – when in doubt use Sir Lawrence Olivier – and I think he said something to the affect of, like, 'I apologize if I get aroused, and I apologize if I do not get aroused.' And you have to say it with the accent."
"In between it's like, 'Let's act like nothing happened,'" he adds. "And then you see how good of an actor you are."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Kutcher confesses that performing steamy on camera can be more nerve-wracking than "performing" in real life. "You're doing the scene and you're like, 'Okay. Are they going to call cut? How far are we taking this? Are they going to call cut?' Ivan [Reitman] would come back and say, 'I think you need to orgasm sooner.' So you're male machismo is like, 'No, no, no. It would take me MUCH longer than this.' It's always slightly more complicated than it is in real life."
Fortunately, the 6'3" actor had an easygoing camaraderie with Portman that made things easier. Despite dishing out plenty of verbal Punking to his pint-sized co-star. "It was mostly height jokes and she would get very much upset with me," he reveals. "She looks like my child when we stand next to each other. I asked if she could reach the pedals in the car one day. That didn't go over very well."

Steampunk, as a genre, promises the weary adventurer a happy marriage between the best of the technology of our time, and the grace of spirit that embodied the Victorian age. Steampunk Fairies are a curious and exciting new interpretation of Victorian Fairies, which enthusiasts of Victorian culture will no doubt recognize as one of that era's favorite obsessions.
Artists, crafters, writers, costumers and fans have all discovered a previously untapped appetite for an endless array of Fairies as portrayed through the Steampunk lens. Why has this particular combination sparked the imagination of so many? There are a number of theories.
Of course Steampunk, being a genre rooted in an era that saw the dawn of the age of flight, would seem a natural aesthetic for those curious creatures of the air. The favored materials of Steampunk are bound to be appealing to fairies. Abhorring iron, mechanically inclined Fairies have finally found their metal of choice in the shiny brass reflection of Steampunk's signature metal. Similarly, leather, linen and wood, natural materials regularly observed in traditional fairy habitats and dress, are essential components in the Steampunk Maker's arsenal of supplies. But the affinity goes beyond aesthetics. Fairies themselves have an enterprising spirit that is quite at home with the Steampunk philosophy. It is not hard to imagine these inquisitive and inventive creatures creating their own exciting gadgets. Although one must admit that a fairy machine is just as likely to be powered by fairy dust as by steam.
Observing these connections, we can see it was only a matter of time, until the inevitable Fairie made its way upon the Steampunk scene. Perhaps the appeal of Steampunk Fairies is that when you get right down to it, none of us can resist the natural charm that is exhibited by the image of a spunky pixie with dirty brass and leather goggles affixed firmly to her head, mechanical wings, and a utility belt full of complicated gadgetry and magical ephemera. Certainly this very image has already become iconic, turning up again and again in artistic renderings of the concept. Most fascinating about the emergence of this sub-genre of Steampunk has been watching how the concept of Steampunk Fairy has manifested from the makers who conceive them.
The interpretations are varied and unique, but all succeed in evoking a strength and independent edge that may ultimately succeed in reclaiming the reputation of fairies from the sometimes exceedingly sugary grasp of Victorian fantasy once and for all.
The first glimpses of Steampunk fairies came from fans and costume enthusiasts and consisted of adventurous wardrobe choices layered over fairy wings. The fans, those that regularly engage in cos-play (an abbreviation of the term costume play) and attend festivals and cons, were really the first group to combine both Steampunk and Fairies, and their elaborate attire has been a welcome and refreshing bit of brass and sass in the sea of pastel shimmer at fairy events. Clockwork fairies in top hats breathe new life into the world of fairy that has been so popular these past tens years. While fairy fandom is alive and well, it is always a welcome surprise to see new visualizations on popular themes. Fans at events have delighted observers with an array of costumes playing on the Steampunk theme. Gothic Lolita Steampunk fairies, clock work dolls, mechanical wings, and even whole new species of fairies have been created and shared at events by fans. Memorable new fairy characters such as"timekeepers" and "inventors' assistants" borrow from traditional fairy lore of brownies and helper pixies, while putting a Steampunk twist into the mix.
Some of the most impressive modifications of fairy forms have come from designers and crafts-people known as "Makers." These folk are often experienced corset makers, leather workers and gadgeteers. Their Steampunk fairies are possessed of elaborate clockwork and mechanical wings with moving parts that fold shut with amazing precision. Here the emphasis is less on costume and more on gadgets and functionality. Makers are part artist and part inventor. The questions they want answered are: If a fairy were part machine, how would she be built? What allows her to fly? How is she powered? Makers seek to answer those questions through the items they create. The results not only charm those that behold them, but are in many cases impressively functional!
Steampunk fairies, as interpreted through the works of visual artists, have taken on many forms. Both the dark and light sides of the world of fey are present in this Steampunk world. The light side gives us images of fairies that have swapped their diaphanous dresses and glittering wings for brass, leather and requisite goggles. Happy to be taking their destinies back into their own hands, they've traded the fragile Victorian ideal of beauty for sturdier materials. They soar the skies like fairy tale versions of Amelia Earhart, acknowledging no frontier and never shying from adventure.
Other artists have seen a grittier edge come out in their Fey. Their fey seem right at home in the bleak Dickensian version of the Victorian era. These Steampunk fairies mix the dark fey of myth with urban decay, grease, and mischief. Cast off from a dying society they lurk at the edges, eking out a dire existence amidst smog and ruin.
Still other artists interpret Steampunk Fairies as doll-like creatures or automatons. This art conjures speculation as to the origins of such creatures. Perhaps they were created by a tinkering toymaker or lonely inventor. Maybe they are originally formless entities, reminiscent of ancient legends of fairies, as ethereal spirits, representative of the elements. One can imagine them growing curious at the world of humans, and using their magic to craft a body from found objects, or possessing the shell of abandon porcelain doll, for the purposes of exploration.
Whatever the origins of the Steampunk Fairy phenomena, it seems clear that not only has it captured the imagination of popular culture, but it's also incited the mischievous and independent nature of the fairies themselves. We can only look forward to further evolutions of their story and awakening of their spirit.

351 operators are investing in LTE, a figure which is 41 percent more than a year ago, according to the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) in an update to its Evolution to LTE Report, which was released on October 1. The report confirms that 105 operators have launched commercial LTE networks in 48 countries.
A further 194 network deployments are in progress. GSA forecasts that 159 networks will be commercially launched in 68 countries by the end of 2012, which is expected to rise to 195 live networks in 72 countries by the end of the following year.
A total of 299 operators are firmly committed to deploy commercial LTE networks in 93 countries, including those who have launched services. A further 52 operators in 11 more countries are at a pre-commitment stage, engaged in LTE technology trials, tests or studies, etc. Many of them are expected to also decide to introduce LTE services.
Alan Hadden, President of the GSA, said: "LTE is providing unprecedented performance and efficiency levels for operators in both developing and mature markets, and raising the mobile broadband experience for millions of consumers and enterprise users worldwide. Businesses in the sectors beyond traditional telecoms are giving a lot of attention to how LTE can help their customers and operations."
The benefits from deploying LTE networks in re-farmed spectrum are increasingly recognized by regulators and the industry, emphasizing the flexibility and growing importance of 1800 MHz as a prime band for mobile broadband services delivery. LTE1800 is launched on more than a third of all commercial LTE networks. Thirty-eight operators have commercially launched LTE1800 either as a single band system, or as part of a multi-band deployment.
Commercial LTE1800 services are now available in 26 countries: Angola, Australia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mauritius, Namibia, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Korea, and UAE.
Eleven operators have launched commercial service using the LTE TDD mode in unpaired spectrum, with at least another 16 commercial network deployments in progress. The LTE standard was specified by 3GPP with an FDD mode for use in paired spectrum, and a TDD mode being the optimal solution for use in unpaired spectrum.

Misandry in the MediaApril 21st, 2009 by Pelle Billing
As I wrote in my last post, misandry in the media has become increasingly common. Misandry simply means hatred of men, and corresponds to the more commonly used word misogyny (hatred of women).
In this post, I'll explore some of the ways that this anti-male bias is showing up, as well as give some examples to illustrate.
Tracking the ongoing misandry in popular culture and the media can be a very useful exercise, since those entities are very good at tuning into what is happening in society and in the public's consciousness.
Priciple # 1: Men Are Stupid
Check out the TV ad below. The man is not only portrayed as stupid, but almost retarded, and very submissive as well.
Can you imagine the outrage and public outcry if a woman was portrayed in this way?
Principle # 2: Men Need Women to Get Anything Right
Have a look at this banned Verizon commercial, where the man is clueless and needs the guidance of his wife as if he were her child.
Principle # 3: Only Women Must Evolve
Feminism has worked tirelessly to give women more rights and more benefits, while simultaneously presenting a worldview that prevents society from doing anything about male issues (because there are no male issues in the feminist worldview…).
This means that there is no public discussion about the pressure on men to perform, in fact, you can still get away with attacking a man for not performing the way you think he should!
Check out these horrible lyrics by Destiny's Child:
At first we started out real cool,(cool)
Taking me places i ain't never been
But now your getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things that you did no more
You're slowly makin me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
And ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week
You triflin',good for nothing type of brother
Silly me,why haven't I found another
A baller, when times get hard he's the one to help me out
insted of, a scrub like you who don't know what a man's about
can you pay my bills
can you pay my telephone bills
can you pay my automo'bills
then maybe we can chill
I don't think you do
so you and me are through
What they are basically saying is that it's a man's role to pay for everything, and the women of Destiny's Child can only imagine being with a man if he starts paying for everything. As long as he doesn't, he's a "triflin' good for nothing type of brother".
Women, on the other hand, are immune to any corresponding slurs about the female gender role, such as a woman's place being in the home, since anyone saying such a thing is being misogynistic and discriminatory.
Do you have any examples of misandry in the media?

Although the project has not been officially approved, preparatory work started last week to repair the Black Hawk statue.
A crew from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, put up a fence around the 103-year-old concrete landmark at Lowden State Park near Oregon, and removed bushes and limestone blocks surrounding the statue's base.
"We're getting ready to put some scaffolding up and to do some mock-ups," said Frank Rausa, Sterling, a volunteer who is spear-heading the repair effort.
He said the limestone blocks, which were not a part of the statue's original pedestal, will be saved and probably re-used when the repairs are completed.
Once the scaffolding is in place, Rausa said, a team of experts will begin doing "mock-ups" or testing various mixtures of concrete and other materials to see which one will work the best to restore the areas of the statue damaged by time and weather.
"Four to six recipes will be applied to the statue, and that will take about a month to cure," He said. "Then they will determine which blend will be the best match and go from there."
For actual repair work to begin, two state agencies — Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) — must approve a plan submitted several weeks ago by Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide.
Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year.
Testing and evaluations done recently showed that three areas of the statue are in dire need of repairs.
Amy Lamb Woods, the project manager and a preservation materials engineer with Thornton Tomasetti; said the folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas.
The areas are spalled, meaning chunks of concrete have already fallen out, and delineated, meaning areas of concrete are loose and ready to fall.
The repair work could begin as early as next month.
"We're pleased to be started, and with a minor miracle, it might be done by October," Rausa said.
Once the repairs are completed, a re-dedication ceremony will be held.
Rausa said the ceremony may be timed to coincide with the original dedication of the statue, which took place on July 1, 1911.
In the meantime, he said, fundraising efforts will continue.
So far, approximately $725,000 has been raised toward the repairs. Rausa said that is likely 80 percent of what will be needed.
Nearly half the money already raised for the project came from the $350,000 state grant.
The rest came from donations, including $50,000 from the Oregon Trails Days festival.
A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant.
The Chicago Black Hawks hockey team got on board with what Rausa said is a sizable donation, although he declined to specify how much.
To donate, checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.
Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

Ryan Porter from msn.ca is reporting that Shenae Grimes is a first class b-tch.
Shenae came back to Canada last week to appear at the Gemini Awards. Word is she refused to walk with Gemini host Jason Priestley on the red carpet and then was overheard complaining about the local media:
"Who is even here worth talking to anyway?"
She also apparently blew off the media room: "I try to f--king avoid all that sh-t"…but that apparently doesn't apply to People Magazine. She spoke at length to People about her allegedly healthy eating habits.
Clearly Canada isn't good enough anymore.
But if that's the case, why did she care so much about the award? Shenae was nominated for a Gemini but ended up losing out to Leah Miller, the host of So You Think You Can Dance Canada.
My sources say when she found out she didn't win, she stormed out of the room.
Memo to Shenae: you are not Kristen Stewart.
All this attitude for 90210? The suckiest show, and a disgrace to the memory of Brenda Walsh?
If she was a regular on Gossip Girl, it'd be slightly understandable.
But 90210?

Sit DOWN Shenae!
