Meyer was born and raised in Clinton Township, north of Detroit, in the Lake St. Clair area but is currently residing in Detroit. From ancestry of both French Canadian and German settlers to the upper Midwest, she came from a large extended family of all kinds of artistically talented people including music and traditional crafts. As a mostly self-taught artist, Marie has experimented with many different mediums and types of art but painting the landscape has given her art a voice. "While I have some formal training through countless art classes as a child/teen and some undergraduate credits, I had come to realize that an art education really wasn't for me. Experiencing my art day in and day out has given me everything I need to work forward". Experiencing the beautiful atmospheres over the Detroit River Valley, The Great Lakes provide images for her art along with travels to other places especially the coasts of the Southeastern USA and the plains of western Canada.
"Colors come and go so quickly right at sunrise and sunset and depend on the concentration of the clouds. I capture those scenes with a camera or saved memories and translate that to canvas using multiple mediums". View all of Marie Meyer's work.

Boston U. holds on for 64-61 win over Bucknell
LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Dom Morris, John Papale and Maurice Watson Jr. each scored 12 points as Boston University survived a furious late rally by Bucknell and held on for a 64-61 win on Saturday.
Boston (14-7, 7-1 Patriot League) led by 20 with 8 minutes to play but Bucknell went on a 28-9 run to cut its deficit to 59-58 on a 3-pointer by Chris Hass with 19 seconds left.
Papale then hit three of four free throws and Watson Jr. made a layup to help the Terriers seal the victory, their seventh in their last eight games.
Boston held Bucknell (9-10, 4-4) to just 16 points and 25 percent shooting in the first half. Bucknell shot only 33.3 percent from the field for the game but the Terriers didn't fare much better, making just 37.3 percent of their field goals.
Cameron Ayers scored 23 points and Hass added 17 for Bucknell.

How do we map and analyze the relationship between "new media" and the Bombay film industry? In what ways have various new media technologies and platforms shaped the ongoing transformation of the Bombay film industry into "Bollywood"?And how do we then think about inter-media relations in a city like Bombay in historically grounded fashion?
This is a question I have been interested in for several years now, and one that is central to the book I'm working on. It emerged from fieldwork I conducted towards my dissertation (back in 2004-05), and subsequent research in Bombay confirmed my initial sense that radio, state-owned television, cable and satellite television, and the Internet and the mobile phone have all shaped the film industry in important ways. To begin tackling this problematic, I decided to work on a case-study of Indiafm.com, one of the most popular and successful film-related websites. And now, that case study has been published in Media, Culture and Society!
"From Indiafm.com to Radio Ceylon: new media and the making of the Bombay film industry," will be in the journal's September 2010 issue. Writing this piece was crucial as it served as an opportunity to develop an argument for the book project, and also allowed me to locate contemporary issues of media convergence in a broader historical frame. In particular, stories about Radio Ceylon and the Bombay film industry were fascinating, and proved very useful for arguing that historically informed analyses of inter-media relations are crucial if we are to develop more complex and textured cultural genealogies of the Bombay film industry's 'global' flows and influences.

I got to spend some time with the JooJoo this morning. It's better than I expected, but it really just leaves me wanting a better device -- like the Apple tablet that is reportedly in development.
The JooJoo is a $500 tablet computer that, until last week, was called the CrunchPad, as it was being developed in conjunction with TechCrunch. (Now the sides are fighting a legal war.) Pre-orders begin tomorrow; the first units are set to ship in February, barring no further delays.
Based on the preliminary device I got to play with for a few moments this morning, the JooJoo is a decent stab at a tablet computer, and proved to me that tablet computing is a good idea. The display was very nice looking. It's big, colorful, and shiny. The device itself is hefty -- heavier than I expected -- and doesn't feel cheap. But it's thicker than I had hoped for, and needs a fan, which makes a slight whirring noise.
The software needs major work, and now Fusion Garage, the company that's making it, has a few months to make improvements. It took extra taps on the touchscreen to do most of the things I wanted to do. Much of the user interface is not very intuitive. There's lots of room for polishing. (The browser's fonts don't look as nice as they should, for instance.) And I even crashed it once.
But the biggest problem I have with the device as a potential buyer: Until a bunch of stuff happens, it's just an expensive gadget that only does one thing -- Web browsing at wi-fi hotspots.
Yes, the company has made promises for offline support, maybe some sort of application system, and maybe 3G service. But that takes time, product development, and business development, and no brand-new app platform is going to be very good without a ton of users.
And if I'm going to have the opportunity next year to buy a tablet from Apple -- which already has a lot of my media and apps in its platforms via my iPods, iPhone, and Macs, that's going to be the obvious choice for me. Apple's tablet will likely look and feel better, and be lighter and sleeker. And, no offense to whoever is designing the JooJoo's user interface and operating system, but my gut tells me that Apple (and Microsoft, etc.) are going to do a much better job at designing those, too.
The business problem is that the JooJoo already has enough challenges between now and a successful product launch -- financing, manufacturing, marketing, retail distribution, etc. -- without the threat of competition from Apple, Amazon, or anyone. At $500, it's far beyond "impulse purchase" range and does actually have to be good. Ideally, better than anything similar, or at least significantly cheaper.
And if the Apple tablet is as good as I'm hoping -- and only a few hundred dollars more -- the JooJoo is, as I said last week, toast.
20 guesses about what the Apple Tablet will look like >

Five Years, Baby!!
Remember this?
And these?
How about this one?
Or this story?
Five years ago today I started a goofy little cake blog, just for fun. I never intended for anyone other than a few close friends to read it, and I was terrified the first time a stranger found it and commented.
Within two months, though, my goofy little cake blog went viral, garnering about 50,000 visitors in a single day.
It's been a wild ride since then. I realized my life-long dream of becoming a published author not once, but twice, and Cake Wrecks even landed on the New York Times Best Sellers List. John and I got to travel across the U.S. and Canada meeting thousands of you readers, sampling dozens of your bakeries, and only almost-dying that one time.
I was invited on more TV shows than I can remember, including David Letterman, Rachael Ray, and I think even Martha Stewart - and one of my proudest achievements in life is that I turned them all down. I've also turned away TV producers, web content "gurus," and website conglomerates offering a pretty penny to purchase Cake Wrecks and turn it into something else - something less personal, something not ours.
Cake Wrecks has been a labor of love from the beginning, and I've fought - and will fight - to always keep it that way. It's not a vehicle to make me famous, or a stepping stone to get me to where I *really* want to be in my career, because I'm already here. True, it has become my job - John's, too - and like every job it causes heartache and frustration and burnout sometimes. But at the end of the day, I get to check my e-mail, find a cake that makes me giggle, and share it with all of you. That's pretty frickin' awesome.
Five years ago I never would have dreamed my goofy little cake blog would last this long, or that it would amass such a devoted readership. I mean, this blog was supposed to fizzle out four and a half years ago, and yet here you all are! I always told John I'd quit when the readers left, but it turns out you guys are more stubbornly loyal than I anticipated. Curse you.
So here's to us, my dear wreckies, five years, 1,800+ posts, and roughly 8,000 cakes later.
And if all that doesn't deserve cake, then I don't know what does.
So here's Brent Spiner trying on a Carrot Jockey necklace:
Let's be honest: it was all downhill from here. :D
Oh, and I have to give a million thanks to John for getting me through these past five years - and also for not dying that one time - as well as to Lindsey, who writes more than half of our Sweets posts these days, and to Sharyn, who helps me write to the wrecks. You guys are awesome, and get a lifetime pass for extra sprinkles.

CRESTVIEW � Former Mayor Ted Mathis, who died Thursday of congestive heart failure following a period of illness, served in City Hall from November 1987 until April 1995.
CRESTVIEW � Former Mayor Ted Mathis, who died Thursday of congestive heart failure following a period of illness, served in City Hall from November 1987 until April 1995.
Mathis � who pushed for installing the instrument landing system that increased Bob Sikes Airport�s capabilities � succeeded former Mayor Jerry Milligan and served until George Whitehurst was reelected to the office.
Under Mathis' administration, rail passenger service returned to the Hub City in January 1993 for the first time in more than 20 years, and continued three times weekly until August 2005.
He had passionately worked to dam the Yellow River, a project eventually abandoned but considered, at the time, a solution for the north county�s long-term water needs.
"Ted Mathis was one of the finest men that I've known," Mayor David Cadle said. "He loved Crestview and was a true and dedicated public servant. We'll miss him in the city. He was very gracious. He was a fine gentleman."
Mathis, a former Navy Seabee commander, entered the Navy after high school and rose to E6 from E1 in four years. As a machinist, he worked in the Navy's largest machine shop in Astoria, Ore.
After attending the University of South Carolina, he worked for NASA in Hampton, Va., supporting the Scout missile. While at the space agency, he invented a cooling system for payloads.
He left NASA and went to work for the Air Force, where he tested the first laser on an aircraft and moved from South Carolina to Northwest Florida.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Joyce Mathis, his children: Gaye Mathis Helms, Dennis, Joy, Greg, Evelyn, Karen and Steve Mathis, nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
The funeral for former Crestview Mayor Ted Mathis is 4 p.m. Sunday at the First United Methodist Church Cross Roads Center, 599 Eighth Ave. Visitation is at 2 p.m.

Newport News Events, Coupons, Reviews!
HICKIES – No Tie Elastic Shoelaces
HICKIES- No, Tie Elastic Shoelaces have arrived and I wanted to let you know that I really wanted to try out Hickies-No, Tie Elastic Shoelaces. But I went ahead and put them up for Charlie for Christmas. As it is only 3 weeks away. But HICKIES – No Tie Elastic Shoelaces will make all of our lives so much easier.
As, Charlie struggles when he ties his shoes. Only, he can't get them tight enough so they always come undone. But because Charlie wants to be a grown up he doesn't want David or I to help him tie his shoes. Which to me is understandable, as Charlie will be 9 on the 16th of December.
So once HICKIES – No Tie Elastic Shoelaces arrived I opened the package up and I was amazed at how well made they where. As well as how easy they are to put in our shoes. So I showed them to David and we both liked knowing they will work on both children's shoes as well as adults.
Plus we liked knowing when my hands aren't working that I would be able to wear my favorite pair of Tennis Shoes as I would have to worry about tying them or asking David to do it for me.
When using HICKIES – No Tie Elastic Shoelaces we would save on the amount of time it takes for us to get dressed in the morning. As Charlie could just slip his shoes on and head out the door. Which would be a true God send for our family.

Major international loan exhibition at the Getty Museum explores the art that gave rise to the Renaissance
Bernardo Daddi (Italian (Florentine), about 1280 - 1348) and Taddeo Gaddi (Italian, about 1300 - 1366), The Virgin Mary with Saints Thomas Aquinas and Paul, about 1330. Tempera and gold leaf on panel. Dimensions: Framed (with original engaged frame): 121.6 x 113 cm (47 7/8 x 44 1/2
in.) Accession No. 93.PB.16. The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
In the first half of the fourteenth century, Florence was uniquely positioned as a flourishing center of artistic production, especially in the area of painting and manuscript illumination. Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance: Painting and Illumination, 13001350, a major international loan exhibition on view at the
J. Paul Getty Museum
from November 13, 2012 through February 10, 2013, will present the most prominent Florentine artists of this era, and will feature the largest grouping of paintings by the Florentine master Giotto di Bondone ever exhibited in North America. The exhibition will focus on those artists who worked as both panel painters and manuscript illuminators, examining these two media side by side and offering a fresh look at the distinctive artistic community that gave rise to the Italian Renaissance.
Organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum with the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), this major international loan exhibition will feature more than 90 works of art, including paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and stained glass and will present new findings about artists techniques and workshop practices based on conservation research and scientific analysis. Artists featured in the exhibition include Giotto di Bondone (about 12671337), Taddeo Gaddi (about 13001366), Pacino di Bonaguida (active about 1303 about 1347), Bernardo Daddi (active about 13121348), the Master of the Dominican Effigies (active about 13251355), and the Master of the Codex of Saint George (active about 1315 about 1335), among others. In Los Angeles, the exhibition will include seven works by Giotto, the largest grouping of his paintings ever exhibited in North America.
By examining painting and manuscript illumination side-by-side, in concert with new scientific analysis, this exhibition will offer a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of art, said Dr. Timothy Potts, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. The revolution in the construction of pictorial space and the representation of emotion that Giotto pioneered changed forever the trajectory of European art. This exhibition brings that moment vividly to life, drawing on the latest analysis and art historical research, through a breathtaking selection of works from early Renaissance Florence. This is a landmark opportunity for Los Angeles audiences that should not be missed."
From 13001350, Florence was the focus of an extraordinary cultural flourishing that witnessed rapid civic and church growth, the production of new literary and humanist texts, and the rise of the merchant class. It was also home to the iconic literary figure Dante Alighieri (12651321). This dynamic climate generated great demand for artistic production, both in the elaborate decoration of sacred and secular buildings, and in the many luxury copies of manuscripts needed to feed the devotional and intellectual demands of the people of Florence.
Florence was also home to Giotto, who is regarded as one of historys greatest painters, and even during his lifetime was celebrated by Dante and other cultural figures. He was sought after for commissions by wealthy patrons such as the Peruzzi family, important bankers in Florence. On view in the exhibition, the Peruzzi Altarpiece, about 13091315, was commissioned for their private chapel in the church of Santa Croce. Here Giotto depicts five monumental figures, including Saints Francis, John the Evangelist, and John the Baptist with a new level of attention to natural detail, from realistic facial features to an awareness of the body beneath heavy garments to a profound dignity in posture and gaze.
Painters and illuminators such as Bernardo Daddi and Pacino di Bonaguida were inspired by Giottos new approachesespecially his depiction of the human form and narrative techniquesbut quickly developed their own distinctive styles. Florentine artists provided an enormous output of objects at this time, ranging from devotional triptychs to books used for church ceremonies. These artists often collaborated on commissions or practiced their craft in a workshop setting.
We are now able to present a richer, more nuanced picture of the beauty and creativity of the artistic production in fourteenth-century Florence than ever before, explains Dr. Christine Sciacca, assistant curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum, and the exhibitions curator. The phenomenon of the workshop formed the foundation of artistic production in Florence at this time and Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance will explore this and other issues through outstanding examples of paintings and illuminations from the likes of Giotto di Bondone and Pacino di Bonaguida.
In addition to a large selection of paintings by Giotto, Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance will present the most important illuminated manuscript commission from the first half of the fourteenth century, the Laudario of SantAgnese. Illuminated by Pacino di Bonaguida and the Master of the Dominican Effigies, this beautifully executed and ambitiously designed illuminated manuscript was dismantled and dispersed sometime in the nineteenth century. The two dozen leaves that survive exhibit a great variety of imagery celebrating Christian feasts. This exhibition reunites nearly all of the surviving leaves for the first time.
Also featured in the exhibition are three illuminated copies of the Divine Comedy, Dantes beloved literary masterpiece tracing the authors journey from the depths of hell to the heights of heaven. Soon after Dantes death, Pacino and the Master of the Dominican Effigies illuminated this text, visualizing the captivating events that the author described and feeding the demand for illustrated copies of what was quickly becoming a best-seller among Florentine citizens. The groundbreaking visual iconography developed to represent Dantes narrative set the stage for the later artists who illuminated this popular text well into the fifteenth century.
Painting and Narrative
Building on the thirteenth-century traditions of depicting scenes from the lives of the saints in paintings (known as vita icons), artists of the early fourteenth century developed innovative ways of portraying elaborate, multi-episode religious narratives, especially those drawn from the life of Christ and the Christian saints. Florentine artists portrayed extended stories through a series of individual events shown in sequence,like frames in a movie or a graphic novel. This treatment allowed the viewer to contemplate each moment in turn and to meditate on its significance.
The Master of the Codex of Saint George, for example, is a painter and illuminator known for his beautifully rendered and evocative narrative scenes. Featured in the exhibition, four panels by the artist The Crucifixion, The Lamentation, The Risen Christ Appearing to Mary Magdelene, and The Coronation of the Virgin (all about 13281335), depict images from the end of Christs life. Displayed together for the first time since their separation (likely in the nineteenth century), these panels were originally hinged to form a portable devotional altarpiece.
Scientific and Technical Analysis
One section of the exhibition will describe the work and findings of a team of Getty conservators and conservation scientists who have examined a number of illuminated manuscripts and panel paintings from the period, including leaves from the Laudario of SantAgnese, in order to gather information about artistic techniques common in early-fourteenth-century Florentine workshops. The appearance of many early panel paintings has changed over time due to environmental conditions and previous restorations, while manuscripts often maintain their original appearance. Thus, a direct comparison with illuminations provides important information about early painting and informs our understanding of the original splendor of these works.
The Chiarito Tabernacle, part of the Getty Museums permanent collection, is a panel painting that underwent digital color reconstruction for the exhibition: the blue background had darkened to almost black, the pink robes had faded, and in some yellow areas the pigment had fallen away. These pigments were identified using scientific analysis and their original appearance in the Tabernacle was calculated using similar areas from better-preserved works as references. The resulting partial digital color reconstruction will be shown in the exhibition, providing an informed visualization of how the painting may originally have appeared.
In the Context of Devotion
Although today these paintings and manuscripts are often viewed separately from each other in the context of museums, they originally functioned together in liturgical ceremonies, especially the mass. Throughout the Middle Ages, various types of paintings and manuscripts were created to aid Christians in their religious devotion and this production increased in the early fourteenth century with the rise of the mendicant (preaching) orders of the Franciscans and the Dominicans who sponsored much of the art produced in Florence in this period. In Florentine churches, multi-paneled paintings graced the altars of chapels, largescale crucifixes hung above altars, illuminated manuscripts provided sources for liturgical texts and hymns, small crosses were carried in procession in churches and through the streets, and stained glass windows provided luminous scenes on the walls of the church space. Individual worship outside the mass also took place in private family chapels and in the cells of monks and friars, and smaller panel paintings, such as diptychs and small triptychs, enhanced this devotion. By bringing these works of art together in an exhibition setting, Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance evokes this original context and demonstrates the way that manuscript illumination, painting and other media were meant to work together in the lives of the faithful in fourteenth-century Florence.

WASHINGTON, April 18 -- In the immediate aftermath of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, the outpouring of emotion for -- and empathy with -- the victims emerged in the digital world as fast as news of the tragedy could spread.
Twitter, with its staccato posts, raw videos, and unedited photographs, channeled a growing stream of reaction and shock. Facebook became a home for messages of solidarity and comfort, such as a widely circulated portrait of Mr. Rogers reminding children to "look for the helpers" during times of crisis.
And new but increasingly common ways of using something as mundane as a Google doc revealed how ambient intimacy can translate into real-time, and real-world, action.
Chris McCartney-Melstad said he was standing on the marathon route between the 22nd and 23rd mile when the explosions occurred. Within a few hours, he saw a Boston Globe link to a shared Google document where local residents able to host runners could post their names, emails and phone numbers. He signed up immediately.
"Making the offer of a place to stay seemed like a natural and easy way to help during a time of need," McCartney-Melstad said.
He was the first to add his information. Jerri Milbank posted seconds after McCartney, noting that she could "come get anyone who needs a place to stay." "It was just a very simple gesture," she said. By the end of the day, nearly 4,800 people had done the same, a number that would grow to more than 6,000 by Wednesday.
"We also realized that there were thousands of people from out of town who were searching for family, trying to get home, or just too afraid to stay in hotels so close to where this happened," said Rachael Becker, who also signed up. "We wanted to do anything we could do to help."
"Please don't hesitate," wrote Daniel Tatar on the document.
"It's a small enough city that everybody knows somebody that's going to be impacted," he said, adding that he knew several people who were hurt in the blast. "Everybody's one person away."
Why we seek that "sense of connection"
"The empathy that you witness is a real phenomenon, and actually it's very predictable in this kind of situation," said Michele Gelfand, a professor of psychology at the University of Maryland who studies group responses to crises.
Gelfand said the public's response to the bombings was motivated in part by simple emotion - thoughts of, "What if this were me?" Also at play was a visceral desire for unity when faced with a perceived common threat.
Social media now offers a way to immediately, and publicly, manifest those feelings. "In a disaster, and in a revolution, social media provides a sense of connection," said Betsy Page Sigman, a professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business who studies online media. "Facebook, for example, serves as a meeting spot for people to express themselves, to express concern for other, to find out about others, to inspire others, to pray."
Online networks and technologies are also rapidly developing into forums for action during a crisis.
Before the internet, those witnessing a tragedy unfold "were kind of helpless," said Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia University's chief digital officer and a digital media professor at the Columbia Journalism School.
Today, tools like Google's People Finder allow those who escaped harm following a tragic event to announce that they're safe. Those not directly impacted are empowered as well.
"They immediately want to help the families," Sreenivasan said. "People have a sense that they can do something. Instead of just watching in horror, they can actually participate. They can share the stories and try to help raise money."
Can we empathize beyond our own borders?
Even so, questions were quickly raised concerning the nature and scope of the empathy on display, especially considering the attention paid to Boston in the midst of a shocking degree of ongoing violence in a host of foreign nations.
"I'm up for us 'All Being Bostonians Today,'" wrote Gary Younge, a journalist for The Guardian, in a well-received tweet. "But then can we all be Yemenis tomorrow & Pakistanis the day after? That's how empathy works."
Younge made clear that the concern shown to the Boston victims was absolutely warranted, but said he wanted to highlight problems in other places as well.
"The tweet," he said, "was an appeal for an empathy that goes beyond national borders. Empathy that doesn't go beyond national borders, in my opinion, isn't empathy. It's a form of national solipsism."
Gelfand, the Maryland psychology professor, said that events are felt most strongly by those closest to them.
"When people witness it from afar, they still might feel empathy," she said. "But when conflict is not on your own soil, it doesn't have the same psychological implications."
Sreenivasan, however, noted the success of online campaign focused on far-away issues, such as Kony 2012.
"People want to get involved," he said. "Things that used to be at a distance aren't at as much of a distance anymore. There's still obviously local stuff that's going to have a higher impact. But the world has been made a much smaller place today by social media."
For their part, both Daniel Tartar and Jerri Milbank, the Boston residents who posted to that Google doc, said they were contacted by strangers thanking them for offering to help.
"One young woman just wanted to talk, she was so upset," Milbank said. "There is still so much good in the world despite the violence that happened."
And both said that while local concerns may be more immediately impactful, attention should be paid to needs wherever they are felt.
"Personally, I think tragedies are defined by the victims, not the perpetrator," Tartar said. "Anytime human life is lost and a community is unexpectedly forced to grieve, it's a time for communal empathy." To the extent that social media is impacting such feelings, the technologies at play will only become more pronounced.
In the future, "almost nothing of consequence will go unrecorded when it happens," Sreenivasan said.

In the wake of a controversial proposal to install a telecommunications facility in a local church, the Burbank Unified School District is moving to ban similar equipment on any of its campuses.
The district's spokeswoman, Kimberley Clark, said a sentence prohibiting cellular antenna equipment and towers on school property was added to the district's safety policy by school officials on Monday. The move was a nod to neighborhood opposition to the telecommunications facility planned for the Little White Chapel on Avon Street.
"If that issue hadn't come up, that wouldn't be on our minds," she said.
The change will go to the California School Boards Assn. and to the Burbank Unified school board for a vote, Clark said.
The city passed an ordinance last year allowing telecommunications facilities in single-family residential areas so long as they are on institutional buildings, such as a churches or schools.
Residents living near the Little White Chapel have filed three appeals to a decision by the Planning Board approving the T-Mobile project, citing such issues as declining property values, noise, and health concerns.
They've also raised concerns about how the facility will impact students at two nearby schools, Bret Harte Elementary and Luther Burbank Middle School.
The appeals are scheduled to go before City Council on May 22.

Nicole Scherzinger has emerged the winner of the 10th season of Dancing With The Stars! This is the second win for Nicole's dance partner, Derek Hough.
The two hour finale show aired last night and ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was announced the third runner up, leaving Evan Lysacek and Nicole to battle it out for the mirror ball trophy.
Nicole's win isn't much of a surprise as the Pussycat doll is a professional dancer who dances and sings for a living. Whether or not Nicole being in the amateur ballroom dance competition remains a debate, but when all it said and done, Nicole was consistently the best dancer this season. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba even declared her the best dancer ever in DWTS history.
"I'm going to give it to my mom because she's the reason I really did this show," the Pussycat Doll, 31, told UsWeekly after the show. "This is for her!"
Nicole, and the rest of the finalists flew to NYC this morning and appeared on Good Morning America. The finale show however wasn't without controversy as Kate Gosselin returned to torture the viewers with a final dance performance. Unfortunately for Kate, taking time away from the show did not improve her dancing skills. She however seemed to have more fun this go around.
ABC also announced the 11th season of DWTS will premiere September 20th. It will be interesting to see how they attempt to top this pretty phenomenal 10th season.
My thoughts on Nicole winning – Not a big shocker, she did deserve to win because she was the best dancer after all. Do I think she had an unfair advantage? Of course she did, she dances for a living. Having Nicole in the competition would be similar to having a top College basketball player play in an amateur celebrity basketball tournament. Yes Nicole has no ballroom dance experience, but let's be real, being a pro dancer helped her tremendously and she was earning 10s in early weeks for a reason. The fact is none of the other competitors really stood a chance. I'm conflicted on this because while it is fun to watch the Nicoles and Evans give amazing performances, the show should really be about the Ochocincos and Erins, and about their journeys in improving week to week. And yes Erin was on a dance team in college, but being on a cheerleading dance team over a decade ago while in college doesn't really compare to being a Pussycat doll.

This photo was taken using High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). From Wikipedia: "HDR is a range of methods to provide higher dynamic range from the imaging process. Non-HDR cameras take pictures at one exposure level with a limited contrast range. This results in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas of a picture, depending on whether the camera had a low or high exposure setting. HDR compensates for this loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and intelligently stitching them together to produce a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas."

Look out, Duchess Kate, you have a royal rival
She's a beautiful royal brunette, exquisitely fashionable, a mom from a middle-class family and popular — and her name isn't Kate.
She's the next queen of Spain, Princess Letizia. She's not only going to give Duchess Kate of Cambridge a run for the royal money, she's stealing ahead of her in the queenship stakes.
Letizia's father-in-law, King Juan Carlos of Spain, abdicated today in favor of his son, Crown Prince Felipe, who now becomes King Felipe IV.

First the good news. Groupon Inc. was profitable in the second quarter. In large part, that's thanks to the daily deal operator reigning in its marketing spending.
But there's plenty of bad news. Most notably, the daily deal operator's meteoric growth rate is a thing of the past. Even though the Groupon's revenue was up 44.8% year over year, it was only up 1.6% compared to the previous quarter. That's a sharp decline from the double-digit growth rates that Groupon had posted the previous five quarters.
Moreover, Groupon's gross billings, which reflects the total amount collected from Groupon customers for Groupon vouchers sold, excluding applicable taxes and refunds, fell 4.5% compared to the first quarter—the first time that's happened.
The problems are even worse if you look at its international business. Groupon's international revenue fell 3.9% compared to the first quarter. Andrew Mason, the company's CEO, yesterday sought to explain the dip during a conference call with analysts by blaming weaknesses in the European economy. "While deals such as laser hair removal and luxury hotel stays in Monaco give Groupon an element of serendipitous discovery that is key to our brand, we have also found that these more discretionary offers are more susceptible to negative demand elasticity over the past few quarters as macroeconomic conditions have deteriorated," he said.
In other words, when consumers are worried about their finances they're less likely to spend on things they don't need. And those discretionary items—spa visits, restaurant meals, sky jumping lessons and the like—have been an important part of Groupon's business.
Groupon's saving grace has been that it cut back on its marketing spending. Its marketing outlay, as a percentage of total revenue, has fallen from 54% in the second quarter of 2011 to 15% this past quarter. But that cut in spending has come at the expense of its ability to attract new customers. The daily deal operator only added 1.1 million new customers in the second quarter.
Groupon wasn't profitable when it was spending a large chunk of cash to add new customers. Now that it is profitable, its relevant metrics like gross billings, paint a troubling picture. And that doesn't bode well for the daily deal operator's future.Favorite

It's common to see reports that stress the economic importance of copyright and the content owners who benefit from it; the Copyright Alliance says that "core copyright industries" generated $819 billion in the US in 2005, for instance. What's less common is to find studies that look at the economic impact of fair use. That was the goal behind a new report (PDF) from the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA). Their provocative finding? "In 2006, fair use-related industry value added was $2.2 trillion, 16.6 percent of total US current dollar GDP."
The CCIA is the group that has launched a Defend Fair Use campaign and has filed a complaint with the FTC about overly-broad copyright notices in books and on sports broadcasts. Now, it's challenging the "more rights are always better" approach of groups like the Copyright Alliance with its new report.
The CCIA hired an economic consulting firm to run the numbers on various US industries that rely on certain fair use privileges. The list is broader than you might think: Internet broadcasting, data hosting and processing, audio and video equipment manufacturing, electronic auctions, radio and television broadcasting, and many more all rely on certain elements of fair use.
The "photographic and photocopying equipment manufacturing" industry, for example, relies on the Sony principle (that devices capable of substantial noninfringing uses should remain legal even though they could threaten some copyright owners) for its very existence. Radio and TV broadcasters rely on fair use exemptions for criticism, news reporting, and parody. Even search engines like Google and Yahoo rely on fair use to republish tiny snippets of web sites in their search results and to store thumbnails of copyrighted images. YouTube has even relied on a "safe harbor" defense enshrined in copyright law to keep out of trouble even when copyrighted works are posted to its service.
"In our highly competitive markets, technology innovators depend both upon copyright protection and its limits," writes Ed Black, the CCIA's CEO. "While CCIA holds copyrights like the copyright protecting this study, for example, we also benefit—along with the rest of the public—from limitations on the reach of copyright, such as the fact that copyright does not extend to the raw data that forms the basis of this study."
The report concludes that industries which rely on fair use for at least some of their revenues have seen significant growth over the course of this decade. Between 2002 and 2006, total revenue from these industries surged from $3.5 trillion to $4.5 trillion—a rate of growth faster than that of the general US economy.
Groups like the Copyright Alliance would prefer not to focus on these claims (which are derived from a WIPO-approved method for measuring the economic value of copyrights in the country, but are likely exaggerated by the fact that all of an industry's revenues are counted, not just those that stem from fair use), but instead on the need to give content creators even more rights.
In a response to the CCIA study, the Copyright Alliance said in a statement, "There is no fair use without original creative works. Period. It is like trying to imagine a librarian without books. All those who embrace fair use must understand this and support creators who are producing the works they so prize." Which is true, but it also seems to attack an argument that no one is making.
This isn't really a surprise. William Patry, senior copyright counsel at Google, points out that the Copyright Alliance has one real goal: strengthen copyrights for content owners. On his blog, Patry notes that "a review of its web site reveals that every position it discusses as having taken is pro-protection. And that's fine: Washington, D.C. is awash with partisan groups like this, on all sides of issues, on hundreds of topics."
Not everyone sees a contradiction between the positions espoused by the two groups; Microsoft, for instance, is a member of both.

Don't Lose Sight of Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes can cause problems like blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, and amputations. But by taking good care of yourself through diet, exercise, and special medications, you can control diabetes. And there is more good news. Diabetic eye disease, a complication of diabetes, can be treated before vision loss occurs.
All people with diabetes need to get a dilated eye exam at least once a year.
1. What is diabetic eye disease?
Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of this disease. All can cause severe vision loss or even blindness.
Diabetic eye disease may include:
Diabetic retinopathy — damage to the blood vessels in the retina.
Cataract — clouding of the eye's lens.
Glaucoma — increase in fluid pressure inside the eye that leads to optic nerve damage and loss of vision.
2. What is the most common diabetic eye disease?
Diabetic retinopathy. This disease is a leading cause of blindness in American adults. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. In some people with diabetic retinopathy, retinal blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. These changes may result in vision loss or blindness.
3. What are its symptoms?
Often there are none in the early stages of the disease. Vision may not change until the disease becomes severe. Nor is there any pain. Blurred vision may occur when the macula - the part of the retina that provides sharp, central vision – swells from the leaking fluid. This condition is called macular edema. If new vessels have grown on the surface of the retina, they can bleed into the eye, blocking vision. But, even in more advanced cases, the disease may progress a long way without symptoms. That is why regular eye examinations for people with diabetes are so important.
4. Who is most likely to get diabetic retinopathy?
Anyone with diabetes. The longer someone has diabetes, the more likely he or she will get diabetic retinopathy. Between 40-45 percent of those with diagnosed diabetes have some degree of diabetic retinopathy.
5. How is it detected?
If you have diabetes, you should have your eyes examined at least once a year. Your eyes should be dilated during the exam. That means eyedrops are used to enlarge your pupils. This allows the eye care professional to see more of the inside of your eyes to check for signs of the disease.
6. Can diabetic retinopathy be treated?
Yes. Your eye care professional may suggest laser surgery in which a strong light beam is aimed onto the retina.
Laser surgery and appropriate follow-up care can reduce the risk of blindness by 90 percent. However, laser surgery often cannot restore vision that has already been lost. That is why finding diabetic retinopathy early is the best way to prevent vision loss.
7. Can diabetic retinopathy be prevented?
Not totally, but your risk can be greatly reduced. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that better control of blood sugar level slows the onset and progression of retinopathy and lessens the need for laser surgery for severe retinopathy.
The study found that the group that tried to keep their blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible also had much less kidney and nerve disease. This level of blood sugar control may not be best for everyone, including some elderly patients, children under 13, or people with heart disease. So ask your doctor if this program is right for you.
8. How common are the other diabetic eye diseases?
If you have diabetes, you are also at risk for other diabetic eye diseases. Cataracts develop at an earlier age in people with diabetes. Cataracts can usually be treated by surgery.
Glaucoma may also become a problem. A person with diabetes is nearly twice as likely to get glaucoma as other adults. And, as with diabetic retinopathy, the longer you have had diabetes, the greater your risk of getting glaucoma. Glaucoma may be treated with medications, laser, or other forms of surgery.
9. What research is being done?
Much research is being done to learn more about diabetic eye disease. For instance, the National Eye Institute is supporting a number of research studies in the laboratory and with patients to learn what causes diabetic retinopathy and how it can be better treated. This research should provide better ways to detect and treat diabetic eye disease and prevent blindness in more people with diabetes.
10. What can I do to protect my vision?
Finding and treating the disease early, before it causes vision loss or blindness, is the best way to control diabetic eye disease. So, if you have diabetes, make sure you get a dilated eye examination at least once a year.
Remember . . .
Diabetes is a disease that can cause very serious health problems. If you have diabetes:
1. Know your ABCs-A1C (blood glucose), blood pressure (BP), and cholesterol numbers.
2. Take your medicines as prescribed by your doctor.
3. Monitor your blood sugar daily.
4. Reach and stay at a healthy weight.
5. Get regular physical activity.
6. Quit smoking.

Florists do not serve on valentine's day.They sell 10 times more than normal, but Valentine's Day is no bed of roses for the country florists
The reason for this apparent contradiction is that Valentine's Day falls on the same date throughout the world – February 14, should anyone be in doubt – and it gets wholesale prices of flowers to shoot in the air.
And it helps not at prices that most people buy red roses Happy Valentines Day.
"We have 10 times more orders than on a normal day, but it's crazy expensive for dealers to buy roses as Valentine's Day falls on the same time in the world," says marketing manager at Interflora in Denmark, Jan Opperman to tv2.dk and continues:
"And dealers sets not at prices up to the level that they perhaps should be on this day, because we can not explain to our customers why the red roses of a sudden are so expensive on Valentine's Day."
Glad day anyway
January Opperman says that earnings for florists on Valentine's Day is therefore very limited, but the floral industry still is very happy day.
"We are very happy Valentine's Day, because we have lots to do and because everyone is talking about us on the day. So even if the day does not give us any extraordinary earnings, so it gives us lots of invaluable publicity," says Opperman.

Here's a phone-charging bracelet you might actually wear
There's no cell phone owner who doesn't understand intimately the special agony of watching their device drain and then... die. It's a universal. Most people have a plan B: Use a Mophie juice pack, bring along a charger and pray for an outlet - or this reporter's favorite, hang out in a bar for an hour and use the bartender's charger. There's always one behind the counter.
A new startup called Q Designs is hoping to make juicing on the go a bit more convenient than that. Today it's launching pre-orders for its first product, a sleek bracelet that conceals enough rechargeable lithium-ion battery to give your phone a 60 percent charge. The bangle, available for both Android and iOS devices, unhooks to reveal the connector.
We took a look at one of the prototypes a few weeks ago, and it's really, truly not bad-looking. It comes in black, silver and gold, the last of which co-founders James Kernan and Alessandro Libani say they spent a lot of time getting exactly right. The bracelet is still fairly thick - according to Kernan, making it any thinner would reduce the charging potential significantly - so it's a statement, but a clean one. It's also not terribly expensive. Pre-orders run at $79, and the bracelet will eventually retail for $99, hopefully in time for the holiday season. Although frankly it's the type of thing we'd like to have for September's various fashion weeks, a.k.a. the month of dead phones.

I've got an Infopath form with a file attachment control. Everything works great, files are being attached. For a while, we've been all unicorns and rainbows.
Users were happy, except now, with the frequency of forms with attachments increasing, they are starting to voice complaints.
Here's the deal:
When you click on the control, Infopath gives you three options:
- Attach
- Download
- Remove
In order to view the attachment, you need to first download the file, then open it from explorer. Users are claiming this is an inconvenience. What they would like to do is have the ability to automatically view the file in a way that's similar to what you are able to do when downloading a file within IE (you know: run, save, cancel).
Is there any way to "run" an attached file directly from an Infopath form?
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

My life is pretty crazy right now, I'm having a hard time finding moments to post
But don't worry, I keep cooking and shooting so I'll have a lot of dishes to share with you once I can escape more often from by business!
This lamb and pistachio skewers recipe was inspired by the French "Saveurs" magazine although it ended up a lot different from the original. These kebabs are a variation of the Mediterranean kofta. Like the original, they're served with a mint and yogurt sauce and can be eaten with some salad in a flatbread.
Lamb and pistachio kebab skewer recipe
Preparation time: 30 minutes – Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (for 4 servings)
Lamb and pistachio skewers recipe
1.3 lbs (600 g) of ground lamb meat
1 oz (30 g) of shelled pistachio nuts
6 sprigs of fresh parsley
1 egg
1 onion
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of ground cilantro
1 squeeze of lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Yogurt sauce recipe
2 Greek yogurts
30 mint leaves
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/ Prepare mint yogurt sauce: Peel and chop garlic finely. Rinse, dry and chop mint leaves. Combine yogurt, garlic, mint, olive oil, salt and pepper. Keep in the fridge.
2/ Prepare skewers: Rinse, dry and chop parsley. Peel and chop onion. Chop pistachio nuts.
3/ Break egg in a small bowl and whisk it with a fork.
4/ Keep some chopped pistachios aside for sprinkling. In a large salad bowl, combine lamb meat, onion, pistachios, parsley, olive oil, breadcrumbs and whisked eggs.
5/ Add one squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and scrunch all together with your hands.
6/ Preheat oven over grill position. Line a baking sheet on a baking tray. Wash your hands with cold water. Don't get them totally dry, meat will stick less on your hands.
7/ Mold lamb mixture around each skewer into a kind of flat sausage. Place kebabs on the baking tray as they're made.
8/ Bake in oven for 10 minutes, turning them after 5 minutes.
9/ Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and serve with mint yogurt sauce.

Though aggressive, the teeth leave a surprisingly smooth surface and resist loading due to their consistent height and spacing. They are well suited for shaping large carvings and chair seats, and in other applications for which you would normally use a large gouge.
The sanding disc has a fairly flat profile with a narrow rim, useful for cutting, and a broad face for shaping convex surfaces. The dish wheel, shaped like a half donut (or, more formally, a half torus) is good for everything else, especially inside curves and concave areas; its versatility makes it a good choice for beginners.
Each is 4-1/2" in diameter with a 7/8" bore. Maximum 15,000 rpm.
