New York Knicks Must Ride Hot Hands, Not Experience, to Stay AliveMay 16, 2013
One playoff-life-threatening loss was lesson enough for Mike Woodson. The head coach of the New York Knicks didn't bother with upsizing gimmicks (Kenyon Martin in the starting lineup) and hobbled, ineffective veterans (Amar'e Stoudemire and Jason Kidd) in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers.
Instead, his Knicks (perhaps) sought inspiration from Shania Twain, returning wholeheartedly to their roots as an unabashedly small-balling, perimeter-shooting squad.
And, for the most part, it worked. Woodson sat Stoudemire and Kidd for the entire second half, put Pablo Prigioni back in the starting five in place of K-Mart, carved out crucial minutes for Chris Copeland and watched his Knicks sneak away with an 85-75 win in Madison Square Garden.
Not that the result was all that encouraging or impressive by any means. The Pacers were a hot mess from start to finish. D.J. Augustin, who started in place of a concussed George Hill, finished with as many assists as I did—and with many more botched scoring opportunities (including a particularly deplorable fast break in the fourth quarter) than I could've come up with from the seat of my couch. Paul George and Roy Hibbert were in foul trouble all night. The Pacers, as a whole, shot a slovenly 36.2 percent from the field, missed 14 of their 33 free-throw attempts and turned the ball over 19 times.
And yet, they were right there until the very end, in large part because the Knicks allowed them to be. New York converted just 41 percent of its own shots, lost the rebounding battle (as expected), racked up a whopping 30 personal fouls,and tallied a mere 12 assists.
But a win's a win, and the Knicks will live to play another day because of it.
And because Woodson allowed his team to get back to its bread and butter. There was Carmelo Anthony (28 points on 28 shots) and J.R. Smith (13 points on 11 shots) volume shooting, Raymond Felton picking-and-rolling and Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin muscling and hustling.
There was also some semblance of spacing and flow to the offense at times...for once. Copeland nailed 3-of-4 from beyond the arc on the way to a 13-point evening off New York's bench. This, as opposed to the lane clogging of a weak-kneed Amar'e, who, as Marc Berman of the New York Post pointed out, makes quite a bit more than does his rookie counterpart, to say the least:
Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Stoudemire makes $19.9M this season - the league max. Copeland the league minimum - $473,000. What a world.2013-5-17 02:01:24
Rather than waiting desperately for Jason Kidd to score for the first time in three weeks, Woodson plugged Pablo Prigioni into the role of "Old Point Guard Who Either Shoots or Passes From the Perimeter." The result? Three assists, a made three, a steal and (GASP!) a positive plus-minus rating.
Woody's adjustments hardly turned the Knicks into an overnight NBA juggernaut, but they did restore some semblance of order and confidence to a team whose foundation had been shaken by three losses in four games to the bigger, tougher Pacers.
Now, it's up to the Knicks to take the lessons they learned from Games 4 (bigger and older isn't better) and 5 (smaller and younger is probably better) and apply them to Game 6 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Saturday. New York won't have the full vocal support of the MSG crowd and may well up against an Indy team with George Hill back in the lineup.
That won't matter, though, as long as the Knicks silence the Pacers' home crowd by doing what they do best: spreading the floor, shooting threes and taking care of the ball (they turned it over just 10 times in Game 5).
At last, Mike Woodson understands the need to dance with the ones who brought him, and that if the Knicks are going down, they might as well do so while playing to their own strengths rather than right into the hands of the Pacers.

A young gentleman contacted my office today and informed me that he received some legal documents in his e-mail. Upon reviewing the offending message, I noticed it was a summons and complaint. If you are not in the know, in New York the first legal papers for instituting a lawsuit is called a summons and complaint. He wondered if it was necessary to answer the complaint.
The simple answer is no, at least not yet. The rules governing proper service of a lawsuit are embedded in the CPLR. Here are the basic provisions for service of process:
CPLR § 306-b. Service of the summons and complaint, summons with notice, third-party summons and complaint, or petition with a notice of petition or order to show cause
CPLR § 312-a Personal service by mail
(a) Service
(b) Completion of service and time to answer
CPLR § 301 Jurisdiction over persons, property, or status
CPLR § 302 Personal Jurisdiction by acts of non-domiciliaries
CPLR § 308 Personal service upon a natural person
(4) Nail and Mail
CPLR R. 305 Summons; supplemental summons, amendment
Since he was served by email, service was improper and he does not have to answer. However, Randall Harris, senior deputy counsel for Los Angeles County, says it is time for the law to catch up with technology.
Law Technology Today reports that Harris advocates for a change in court rules, to allow the use of e-mail for notification of hearings in child dependency matters. "The law should be modernized to keep pace with technology and the wireless reality of the 21st century. Having no physical address should no longer be a barrier to receiving due process," he argues, in "The Case for Providing Electronic Notice in Child Welfare Proceedings."
What do you think? Should service of process of a lawsuit be permitted by email?
Update: Over on Twitter, Jim Brasher, Esq. has noted that in SNYDER and Snyder Energy, LLC, v. ALTERNATE ENERGY INC., Corporate Energy Investing Inc., and Peter J. Nelson, 19 Misc.3d 954, 857 N.Y.S.2d 442, 2008 N.Y. Slip Op. 28137 the court allowed for email service under limited circumstances.
The Law Office of Frederic R. Abramson practices civil litigation in the State of New York. You may contact me at 212-233-0666.

I am sure there is a very simple answer to this problem, but for me right now I could not throw Word Press as as far from me as I would love to.
Please explain to me WHY you write your post, you take the time to insert pictures into the post, they are all down through the post right where you want them, you hit post, and suddenly the pictures are all clustered together with the text part of the post all over the place. How in this world do you get the post to look the way you have written it to look when posted. At this point I am so ready to take Word Press out and simply burn it, it is worthless, why go to all the trouble of writing a post if it is not going to be posted the way it was written??
Please someone explain this to me.
Please go to my General Information Page, the pictures were supposed to be in a column with the text discriptions over the top of the pictures, not in a cluster**** willy nilly through out the post. I really hate having to write in every post that this happen in bold red that Word Press is to blame.
Sincerely Irate Word Press user

Simon Cowell & SFX Announce Ultimate DJ Television Competition
EDM is headed to a television near you soon, as SFX has partnered with Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment and T-Mobile to launch the upcoming Ultimate DJ series. SFX—the world's largest producer of electronic music events and digital content—and Syco Entertainment have worked in tandem to create the Ultimate DJ program, which will combine online, televised, and live elements to showcase and cultivate new DJ/producer talent and creative event production skills.
The program is set to launch online initially, allowing fans to vote via social media on producer challenges that task the DJ contestants to submit recorded material. After this, the competition will proceed to live challenge rounds that will include performances at SFX venues.
Simon Cowell discussed the partnership that led to the series, saying:
"We have been developing this concept for a while but our partnership with SFX has been a real game-changer for this format. It made complete sense for us to collaborate with SFX with their access to the best up-and-coming DJs and their great marketing platform to build new DJ talent. And I'm delighted to have T-Mobile on board with their brilliant vision and innovation."
Full details of the program—including its launch date and network—have yet to be revealed. How it will compare to last year's Master of the Mix reality competition series on VH1 remains to be seen, but it's certain the dance music community will have a lot to say on the matter.

Linking yearbooks to future
Scanning QR code brings photos of school year to the digital age
Published 9:32 pm, Sunday, June 9, 2013
High school yearbooks, those prized possessions eagerly treasured by graduating seniors, are entering the digital age.
Though they may have changed over the years from black and white to color, from photographs shot on film to digital pictures, the books themselves have been largely the same for decades. But now the year-end staples include Quick Response, or QR, codes. The codes look like a scrambled version of a bar code, and they can be read using smartphones, iPads and other electronic devices. Center your device over the code, scan it, and it will connect to an online video or photo gallery.
At Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School, the just-published yearbook comes with two codes linking to videos on homecoming and a pep rally. A supplement sent out in summer will include a link to a graduation video. While the yearbooks of other districts also have QR codes, Burnt Hills is taking the next electronic step: providing everyone who buys a yearbook with free access to an ebook version.
Longtime yearbook adviser James Hadcock said last year's book had one QR code that linked to a YouTube video memorializing a student who died as a sophomore.
This year, the codes link to the book publisher's site, Balfour Publishing, which guarantees the videos will remain available for 30 years.
Hadcock said half the students who paid $65 for a yearbook also ordered the electronic version, which is included in the cost.
"We were anxious to do it just because it is the new technology," he said. "Kids are so used to looking at photos on Facebook."
The student editors say they like the new ways to enjoy their yearbooks.
"We're really excited about our book. We definitely tried to modernize it," said Caley Pantalone.
They like the idea that in a generation, students will be able to pull out their books and show their children not only photographs of their younger selves, but videos of their school days. A mom can one day show her daughter who is trying out for cheerleading her own days spent rooting on the school team.
"People can show their kid: This is what we did," said Gabriella Marchetti. "It's a lot of fun."
"You can also get more people into a video," added Venissa Chen. "Photos can only show small groups of people."
Tyus Hadcock, a senior editor and son of the adviser, said he thinks the electronic touches will attract more people to look at the yearbook.
"It just makes the yearbook more of a popular item," he said.
The ebook also enables students to keep their images preserved without the damage that can occur to a book over the years, Breann Litwa said.
"You might not keep it intact," she said of the traditional yearbook. "The online version is going to be there forever."
Even losing a yearbook would not mean lost access to the photos and memories they provoke, Pantalone said.
Other area schools that have QR codes in their yearbooks include Colonie Central, Saratoga Springs, Guilderland, Burnt Hills Ballston Lake, La Salle Institute in Troy and Hoosic Valley Jr. Sr. high schools; and Lisha Kill Middle School in Colonie and O'Rourke Middle School in Burnt Hills.
At Colonie Central, the books link to a video on the iCARE program, a student-led effort to encourage classmates not to bully but to help each other, and to a slide show on a student trip to China. A spread on student musicians links to video of three songs by a band named Court E. One code notes it won't go live until July 15, when a graduation video will be connected.
"The thing about the QR codes is we can control the content," said Stacy Evans, one of two yearbook advisers at Colonie Central. "We can change it, we can take it off. Nobody can tamper with it."
Evans and her colleague, Megan Carlin, served as advisers more than a decade ago before returning this year. They hope to expand the number of codes next year.
But pointing to the yearbook, Carlin said the print version will always have its place.
"I don't think the technology should replace this," she said.
After all, you can't ask your friends to sign your ebook.

The Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is a simple, complete, business management system that empowers leadership teams to run successful companies.
The Alternative Board
At some point in time, most CEOs feel isolated, frustrated or just plain stuck. Owning and operating a business can be lonely and hard. But it doesn't have to be.
We hired Jeff in 2011 after we experienced a significant drop in sales. We recognized that we were being reactive and needed to establish a more organized sales effort. Jeff was able to quickly distill the problems, issues and challenges that our company faced and put a proactive plan in place. In 2014, we'll set a sales record for our company.
You owe it to yourself to have a coach and that's what Jeff provides. I trust him to be painfully honest and to hold me accountable for doing what we say we're going to do.
Before Jeff, we were faced with issues and concerns that every small business can relate to. He helped us put together a plan and kept us accountable to stay on the right track. That's what helps me sleep at night. I can't imagine what we would have done without Jeff. I view him as a permanent and integral member of our leadership team.

Memorial Health, mother corporation for Memorial University Medical Center, last year finished in the black for the first time since 2006, posting a $29.1 million turnaround from the previous year, President/CEO Maggie Gill reported Thursday.
Audited financials completed in April by Atlanta-based accountants Dixon, Hughes, Goodman LLP showed system operating income of $1.5 million and system net income of $4.8 million, Gill said.
That was based on $565 million in system revenues — a slight increase over $563 million the year before — and included $2.6 million in investments.
The figures include the medical center which accounts for 88 percent of the total revenues for the system.
It reversed 2010 when system operating income was a negative $27.5 million and negative $16.5 million in net income, including $11.9 million in investments.
The turnaround occurred during Gill's first year as head of the region's largest health-care provider and "to the penny" of Gill's projections in February while awaiting the completed audits.
Gill credits several issues for the turnaround.
"I think it is a combination of having a good understanding of the business, a strong relationship with the physicians and team members and having a financial background," said Gill, a former chief operating officer since joining Memorial in 2004.
"It is understanding who you are as an organization, focusing on business practices that will ensure viability and sustainability and treating patients and physicians like your customers."
Memorial's tradition of good patient care has been a positive.
"I'm very fortunate that Memorial has a strong history of quality health care," she said. "It makes it easy to build upon a strong foundation."
And the intangible — "You also have to care about the place," Gill said. "I consider Memorial to be part of my family and I treat it as such."
But Gill refused to take full credit for the turnaround.
"There is no one person who turns it around by her or himself," she said, deflecting credit to "good leaders who make good business decisions, focus on the patients and have the tools to do the job."
Gill was named interim president/CEO in January 2011, replacing the ousted Phillip Schaengold and inheriting the on-going red ink in operating loss.
She became president/CEO in April 2011, with a vow to restore financial and personnel stability while at the same time keeping Memorial true to its mission.
Gill's predecessors Robert "Bob" Colvin and Schaengold fell victim to bottom-line red ink and, in Schaengold's case, a fragile relationship with the system's physicians, which translated into problems with the hospital's board of directors.
Gill credits her repaired relationships with the hospital's physicians are among the positives in her first year.
Dr. Stephen Morris, a pulmonary critical care physician and a veteran of 30 years with the institution, said his colleagues are "very pleased with the leadership right now."
Morris also is president of Memorial's 100-member Physicians Practice Group of primary care and specialists.
"It's a bad time for health care, an uneasy time," Morris said, referring to changes coming out of Washington, D.C. that often keep providers guessing at what's next.
Gill "has a great feel for the institution and the needs," he said. adding she "listens, asks questions and gives you appropriate responses."
He called her a great communicator, whose business background allows her to "question numbers when they don't make sense."
"It makes a difference," he added.
Curtis Lewis III, an attorney and businessman now in his second year as Memorial's board chair, said he is very pleased with Gill's job of managing the whole hospital system over the past year and a half.
He credits her discovery of "some areas of the business of the hospital that had not been focused on before" for her faster-than-expected turnaround.
"There were problems in the revenue cycle that the board had not been made aware of" before Gill and her team addressed them, Lewis said. "She has put together a team that I think will lead the hospital to bigger and brighter things in the future."
When she took the helm in January 2011, Gill immediately made sweeping changes in and shifted the systems' focus to improving revenue.
In May 2011 Memorial brought in Conifer Health Solutions Inc. to increase revenues, with full integration of the systems in September. She renegotiated Memorial's Medicaid contracts with two providers.
Most recently, Gill worked with Memorial Health's board and Chatham County Hospital Authorityto get the Chatham County Commission to guarantee about $164 million in bonds so that the private health care provider can refinance its debt and free up funds for infrastructure improvements.
That refinance will complete its final stage on May 29.
But good news in 2011 does not necessarily translate into smooth sailing down the road.
"Our margins are dangerously thin," Gill said, noting that despite more than a half billion in revenues, operating income was only $1.5 million last year. "That's still too thin for me to sleep at night."
Hospitals are still trying to figure out the changes coming from the national health-care reform. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements are expected to continue to experience reductions.
"We must find new ways to grow revenues, contain costs and grow the revenues in a responsible manner," Gill said. "All the initiatives will preserve the organization to maintain its mission."
She concedes the 2011 year-end numbers will be difficult to repeat, setting her sights on a more modest $2 million operating income and $5-$6 million net income in 2012.
When she took the helm last year, Gill said she thought she would still be facing a $10-$15 million loss for the year.
"I'm extremely pleased at the progress we've made in the first year," she said with a wide smile.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus is an enlargement of the spaces in the brain, called ventricles, that contain cerebrospinal fluid -- a clear fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord and is often termed abbreviated CSF.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus causes difficulty walking, thinking, and controlling the bladder. Symptoms can improve when a neurosurgeon places a drain called a shunt into the ventricles so that CSF flows into the abdomen instead of flowing down the spinal column. Any neurosurgical procedure carries some risk, however, and the benefits of placing such a stent for NPH are not always certain -- so it's critical NPH be properly diagnosed. Even after this step, some patients may improve more with stent placement than others.

Mimickers of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Can you imagine going through risky brain surgery, and not improving because the symptoms were actually due to a different disease all along? This is an easy pitfall in NPH because the symptoms are very common in older individuals due a number of different reasons.

Difficulty walking, for example, may be due to spinal stenosis, vestibular problems, vision problems, or peripheral neuropathy. Urinary incontinence is also very common in old age for a variety of reasons. Cognitive impairment may be due to extremely common disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Some dementias can also increase the risk of walking problems, such as Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, or vascular dementia.

Many of these mimickers can be carefully excluded by a thorough medical examination. For example, Lewy body dementia or Parkinson's disease can cause similar walking problems, but tend to have a narrower gait than NPH, and often have other features such as visual hallucinations.

Another problem is that having NPH doesn't prevent people from having additional dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease. Between 20 to 60 percent of people who underwent brain biopsy at the time of shunt placement have been found to have Alzheimer's pathology. Those who hope to see dementia resolve with shunt placement may be then disappointed since Alzheimer's does not improve with such neurosurgery.

Neuropsychological and Laboratory Tests

The first steps in the diagnosis of NPH will likely focus on symptoms such as dementia. A standard workup will include laboratory studies of the blood for potentially reversible causes, such as vitamin B12 deficiency or thyroid disease.

Neuropsychological tests will be done to confirm the presence of cognitive problems, though no single test can confirm NPH. General patterns consistent with NPH include slowness on timed tasks and poor performance on tasks of attention and executive function. Other dementias, though, such as vascular dementia or Lewy body dementia, can cause similar changes on testing.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Diagnose NPH

By definition, patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus will have large ventricles on a neuroimaging study such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computed tomography (CT) scan. Ventricles often get larger as brain's shrink in normal aging or in other dementias, but in NPH the ventricular enlargement is out of proportion to that of the rest of the brain. This is, however, something of a judgment call on the part of the neuroradiologist and treating physician, and opinions may vary on this point. Some published measurements of ventriculomegaly exist and can guide doctor's recommendation in some cases, but these guidelines are not universally agreed upon.

Some MRIs in patients with NPH show decreased signal where the CSF flows throw a narrow channel called the Sylvian aqueduct through the brainstem. This is thought to represent higher flow velocity. While this finding may be mentioned, most studies show no clear correlation between this finding and improvement after neurosurgery.

An MRI is also useful in evaluating white matter lesions that may be due to vascular disease. On the other hand, signal changes on MRI near the ventricles can represent either vascular disease or fluid leakage due to the NPH itself. Most studies have shown that there is less likely to be a good outcome with shunting if there are many white matter lesions, though publications differ on this as well. A diminished response to shunting in patients with white matter lesions could either be because the white matter signal represents an advanced stage of NPH, or a different disease process, like vascular dementia.

Removing CSF to Diagnose Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

The "gold standard" of diagnosing NPH is an improvement of symptoms with ventricular shunting. This standard is practically useless, though, since in order to recommend a risky procedure like shunt placement the doctor must already be highly confident that the patient has NPH. There is also no agreement of what defines a significant improvement in symptoms, or how long to wait after shunt placement before those improvements should be seen. Moreover, a poor response to shunting may be due to problems beyond misdiagnosis -- for example, the patient could have additional dementia.

Because shunt placement is invasive, less aggressive methods of CSF removal are usually attempted first to verify the likelihood of a patient's improving with a shunt. These techniques include a lumbar puncture or a lumbar drain. Again, however, there is no standard for what defines a significant improvement, leaving physicians to rely on their judgment and a few "rules of thumb."

A lumbar puncture can be done in a physician's office and involves removal of a significant amount of CSF (between 30 to 50 cubic centimeters). The most common improvement is in patients' walking, with faster gait speed and longer stride length. Cognitive tests can also be performed, including tests of attention and memory. Improvements on these measure 30 minutes to a half an hour after the procedure likely indicate a benefit to shunting.

A different method involves placing a temporary drain in the lumbar space, through which CSF can leak at about 5 to 10 milliliters per hour. Studies have demonstrated that this can be an excellent way of marking those who will respond to shunting, though other studies suggest that many patients who do not improve with a drain may still improve with shunting.

Less widely used methods of diagnosing NPH include intracranial pressure monitoring or CSF infusion tests, but the invasiveness of these procedures limits their practical use. Cisternography, which uses radioisotopes to investigate CSF flow, has not been shown to predict outcomes with shunt placement. Other imaging techniques such as newer MRI techniques or single photon emission CT (SPECT) require further investigation to establish their potential usefulness in NPH diagnosis.

Bottom Line

The diagnosis of NPH depends on a careful history and physical examination to begin to exclude other disorders that can cause the same triad of dementia, gait instability, and urinary incontinence. An MRI will show large ventricles deemed out of proportion to the rest of the brain, and can further exclude other potential medical explanations. A lumbar puncture or lumbar drain that leads to symptomatic improvement is most suggestive of true NPH that could benefit from shunt placement by a neurosurgeon.

AM Hucks: Love Will Outlive Biker's Memorial
Motorcyclist Branden Benoy was fatally injured almost six years ago when his motorcycle crashed into a pickup at the intersection of Third Street and Locust Avenue (by French's Cleaners). At the time, Benoy, 24, was giving Krystal Ketterling a ride to work on his 1980 Suzuki. Ketterling was tossed over the pickup and not injured. Benoy took the full impact, suffering severe head trauma. He later died at Kootenai Medical Center, surrounded by loved ones, including his young wife, Amber. Branden's brother Shane, who was 12 at the time, reportedly grabbed his dying sibling's hand and said, "I love you. Why did this have to happen? I just want to give you my brain." Why am I telling you this? In my regular walks around town, I've passed the makeshift memorial to Branden dozens of times. I've read the brief notes left there by his wife, mother, brother, friends and loved ones. I've watched as the sign has faded. On Wednesday evening, I noticed that a fairly new photo of Branden was attached to the wooden memorial. Fake flowers were discarded in the tall grass beneath. Nearby, work crews were filling in what used to be the crawl spaces of two scraped homes for the future site of the Syringa Center. I wondered how much longer Branden's memorial would last. On Thursday evening, I had my answer. It was gone. The Syringa Center site was almost ready for construction. I'm sure it'll be a nice building. However, I'm glad bulldozers can't scrape away the memory of a young man who was the focus of so much love.

Halfway Across
Eat Sleep Records
Single Review
This Gavin Clark led trio add a bit of bubbling indie/jazz to their make up and expand masterfully from the subtle base of their previous album, 'Small Circle'. Clark's Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan vocal foundation makes you picture him sat in a smoky pub, regaling anyone who will lend their ear to the cause with this woe-riddled tale. His dusty and effortless manner helps to maintain some realism, as the increasingly roving instrumental nature of the outfit that gives off a slightly dreamy feel. 'Halfway Across' mingles complex musical structures and simplistic life debating lyrics (with help from a delicious ecological analogy) to create a proud number.

I am so sick of this! Everyone know that the most dangerous person in charge of anything is the least qualified. Disagree with an opinion of theirs, and you're taking your economic well-being into your own hands. Those idiots that pulled the funding are probably the very same people that would do ANYTHING to hold onto their positions, Else, they'd be asking "Would you like freedom fries with that?"
Remember, just because they're in charge, doesn't mean thy're intelligent. I can't think of any reason an intelligent person would become involved in politics, other than to expose them for the inept flunkies they are, or to just generally clean house.
Hack on, Theo. Keep up the good work.

fugitive.philosophy: research blog is where all the action is
As this blog becomes dated indeed, all the writerly action is shaking place over on fugitive.philosophy. I'll eventually archive this mess & give it a new look with a Wordpress outlay -- but until then, this blog will be closing its doors for awhile, save for the infrequent updating of upcoming projects & events I be involved in. But as my main project right now is scribbling away like mad & editing a volume, there's isn't much to play point-and-tell with. You'll just have to wait until the damn book(s) come out. All the commentary is over at FP.
over & out.

Just three things on the wishlist this month, I've not really had much time to online window shop this month due to having loads of uni work, although I did make a cheeky order from asos using some birthday money I had. I bought this bat top in said order (along with some other bits), which came on Wednesday, and I'm already in love with it!
I've wanted a Benefit blush box for a while, and I've spotted this one on Asos with a free mini Posie Tint too. The blush looks lovely so I'm considering buying this today and taking advantage of the free next day delivery.. It would be rude not to!
I've also been lusting after this Paul & Joe primer, it's so adorable, however I currently have 3 or 4 full primers to get through, so I think I'll have to wait a bit until I invest in more.
I spotted the Topshop dress today, at £65 I do think it's a bit pricey, so I doubt I'd ever buy it, but it can sit here looking pretty on my blog. The flowers look so adorable, and I think it would be perfect for a Christmas party or for New Years eve!
What have you been lusting after this month? Have you made any purchases?

In calling for a boycott of The Gazette in Colorado Springs, Rep. Doug Lamborn proved last week that, though he may be short on accomplishments in Congress, he is accomplished when it comes to bungling his way to negative headlines.
Upset by coverage of a video interview he conducted with The Gazette, Lamborn phoned two Republicans running for a state House seat and urged them to cancel interviews.
"I have real problems with how The Gazette treated me in this online video chat yesterday, and I would like to urge you not to do it," he said in a voicemail.
Looking at The Gazette's coverage, the "problems" Lamborn mentioned are petty.
He rejected The Gazette's proposal of a joint appearance — essentially a debate — with primary challenger Robert Blaha. He demanded instead to be interviewed after Blaha appeared. The Gazette allowed Blaha to respond after Lamborn (egads!) and the aspiring pol, in Lamborn's view, didn't stick to the issues at hand.
Lamborn's debate dodge is nothing new. He's as comfortable discussing issues in public as Barney Fife is reaching for his sidearm.
In explaining his inexplicable call for a Gazette boycott after they ceded to his demand to appear unchallenged, the congressman said he felt as though he had been "shabbily treated."
That's nearly as ridiculous as Lamborn's claim to have "gone beyond" the legacy of former Republican Rep. Joel Hefley.
Informed of Lamborn's remarks, Hefley, who has never supported the congressman, called him a "knucklehead."
In a 20-year career, Hefley served as chairman of the House Ethics Committee and was largely responsible for turning Fort Carson from potential closure casualty into a growing post that is a key economic driver in southern Colorado.
What has Lamborn done to distinguish himself in nearly six years in Congress?
A look at the record shows he:
• Regularly picked fights with the Muppets via ongoing yet unsuccessful attempts to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
• Took credit for bringing a veterans' cemetery to southern Colorado — an effort started a decade ago by Hefley and supported by the entire delegation.
• Passed through the GOP-controlled House an oil shale subsidy plan that was unwanted, unrealistic, and unlikely to generate revenue for transportation, as promised.
• Proudly takes credit for ranking among "the most conservative members" of Congress — as if voters in the age of hyperpartisanship should laud that trait.
But when it comes to memorable gaffes, there's plenty. Lamborn's greatest misses include:
• Censoring a photo from a hearing for fear it was pornographic. One problem: Lamborn never looked at the image, leading one to wonder: How can you know pornography when you don't see it?
• Introducing a new level of discourtesy to Congress by skipping President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
• Apologizing for likening the African-American president's policies to "touching a tar baby."
• Stepping forward to fight against clean energy, only to later back off upon learning that he was proposing cuts to the popular National Renewable Energy Lab.
• Opposing the federal stimulus, and then appealing for stimulus spending in his district.
• Swearing off earmarks while at the same time being one of the state's best earmarkers (and facing criticism for directing them toward campaign donors).
•Warning a couple who criticized him in 2007 — another voicemail message — that there would be "consequences" if they didn't respond.
Add it all up, and it's enough to make you wonder if there will be consequences in the June 26 primary.

Game report: UConn wins 9th NCAA title
Published 11:10 pm, Tuesday, April 8, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Final Four Most Outstanding Player Breanna Stewart scored 21 points to lead the top-ranked Huskies to a 79-58 victory over No. 2 Notre Dame Tuesday in the NCAA tournament final at Bridgestone Arena. The Huskies have won back-to-back national championships and an NCAA-record nine overall.
With the UConn men's basketball team winning the national championship Monday in North Texas, the women's team completed a Huskies' sweep for the second time. The teams also won dual championships in 2004. No other school has accomplished the feat once.
The Huskies (40-0) completed their fifth unbeaten season in team history (also 1994-95, 2001-02, 2008-09, 2009-10).
Notre Dame (37-1) has lost in the title game in three of the last four years, also falling to Texas A&M in 2011 and Baylor in 2012. The Irish were seeking to win their second national championship (2001).
Stewart, Stefanie Dolson and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis were named to the Final Four all-tournament team. Stewart and Mosqueda-Lewis were honored for the second straight season. Notre Dame's Kayla McBride and Jewell Loyd were also selected to the team.
Mosqueda-Lewis added 18 points, seven rebounds and two assists for the Huskies. Dolson had 17 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Bria Hartley finished with 13 points, two rebounds and three assists.
McBride led Notre Dame with 21 points and five rebounds. Loyd had 13 points (4-of-15 FG) and six rebounds.
STAR OF THE GAME: Stewart. She had 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
KEYS TO THE WIN: Trailing 8-6 with 15:37 left in the half, the Huskies scored 16 straight points. Stewart and Dolson each had six points in the run and UConn made eight straight shots at one point. ... The Huskies opened the second half with an 18-4 run. Notre Dame started the half 2-of-13 from the field. ... The Huskies scored 52 points in the paint (32 in the first half). ... The Huskies held Notre Dame to 35.5 percent shooting from the field, including 25.9 percent in the second half.
WORTH NOTING: The Huskies improved to 9-0 in the NCAA tournament final. ... The Huskies set a single-season team record for wins, tying Baylor's mark of 40-0 in 2011-12. ... The Huskies have won 46 straight games dating back to a 61-59 loss to Notre Dame in the Big East tournament final March 12, 2013. It ties Tennessee for the fourth longest in history. ... The Huskies are 97-17 (.851) in NCAA tournament play. ... Dolson and Hartley finished their career 143-11 (.923). ... Moriah Jefferson is the fourth player in team history to reach 100 steals (104), joining Jennifer Rizzotti (1995-96), Nykesha Sales (1994-95, 1995-96, 1996-97) and Rita Williams (1997-98).
... Mosqueda-Lewis has scored in double figures in all 17 career NCAA tournament games -- a team record. ... Stewart has scored in double figures in a career-high 31 straight games. ... Hartley has scored in double figures in a career-high 24 straight games.

As previously noted in this blog and in every corner of the Internet, Ron Burgundy/Will Ferrell confirmed on last night's "Conan" that the long-hoped-for "Anchorman" sequel is a go.
The online reaction to this news can best be summarized via this photo:
Now that we know "Anchorman 2" is happening, there are obvious follow-up questions that need to be answered. Like, will the next chapter in the Ron Burgundy saga be set in the 1970s? Will it involve a jazz flute solo? (That seems like a definite yes, given Burgundy/Ferrell's performance on "Conan.") What, exactly, will the plot be?
Oh — and what should it be called?
Technically, it would help to nail down a plot before attempting to give the second "Anchorman" a name. But did knowing things ever stop Ron Burgundy or Brick Tamland from taking action? No, my friends. It did not.
So let's make the lives of Ferrell and co-writer/director Adam McKay a little easier by helping themwith come up with a title for the most anticipated sequel since those seven movies that came after "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
The obvious route
The first film was formally titled, "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." So the most natural name for the second one is, "Anchorman 2: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Continues." A little dull maybe, but it gets the job done.
The Scotch reference
They could always go the "Anchorman 2: Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch" route. It sounds absurd and makes no sense outside of the context of Burgundy's catch phrase from the first movie. I mention that because it's the primary selling point behind the title.
The Sex Panther reference
How about "Anchorman 2: Now With Bits of Panther"? No, that's probably better as a poster tagline than a title. Maybe "Anchorman 2: Time to Musk Up"? No, that's also better as a tagline than a name.
Wait, I've got it!
"Anchorman 2: Cannonball Run"! Wait, someone's already used "Cannonball Run"? Darn it. It would have been perfect.
Clearly I am not having much luck. I bet you guys can do better. Please share your suggestions for the "Anchorman 2" title by posting a comment below. (And note that I saved "Stay classy" so one of you guys could take that and run with it. You're welcome.)

With the looming deadline for a $242 million state grant, and after more than a decade of false starts, a $1 billion development project at the former Oakland Army Base got the OK from the Oakland City Council to move forward on Tuesday night.
The council voted 7-0, with one abstention, to approve the city's "Working Waterfront" proposal—a warehouse, trade and logistics center for the Port of Oakland on the former Army Base in West Oakland, a project that would add nearly 5,000 jobs and increase the capacity of the port. The massive project, which includes dredging the port to accommodate larger ships, improving rail and transit lines and new warehouse facilities, is being developed by California Capital and Investment Group and Prologis and expected to begin in 2013.
The vote Tuesday capped an arduous process for the 366-acre parcel. The current proposal has been more than four years in the making, and it's been 13 years since the base closed. During that time, proposals for the site have come and gone—some that failed to get going included an Indian casino, an auto row or a movie studio.
