NARRATOR: This work, Blossom, is a collage made from magazine cutouts. DeFeo made a small number of these in the mid-1950s.
DANA MILLER: She took many of the images from girlie magazines. She collaged them into the form of this pinwheel floral motif, so they transcend their origins. The initially lurid imagery transcends its origins to become something else, a new reality, this floral motif.
She, I'm sure, was very much influenced by the going-ons of her peers, artists such as Jess and Wallace Berman and Bruce Conner, many of whom were experimenting with collage.
They were all looking to found materials, things that were readily available, cheap, things that spoke to the world around them and reflected the rapidly changing postwar consumer society. And doing so in a very sort of ironic and humorous fashion.

Comments about Windwhistle Sweet Moscato Assortment:
I gave this basket to two people on their birthday and they both loved it. The basket was perfect.... delivery on the other hand was a bit difficult it always delivered at the end of business so sometimes my gift would not be received until the day after or they would have to go and pick it up from UPS
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Reasonable prices and shipping for this. My mother and aunt loved it
Very Easy Long Distance Gift
By Susan the Realtor
from Raleigh, NC
I sent a wine basket as a thank you gift to someone on the west coast. It arrived on time and they were thrilled. The price was affordable...website is easy to navigate. More selection would be nice- but I found several options and am very happy with my purchase.
By Ted
from Denver, CO
Ordered this for my mother for her birthday. The other items I have ordered from Wine Country have been great. This time however the wine was so bad it couldn't even be used for cooking.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Happy Mom!
By SuBon
from Carlsbad, CA
I wasn't sure what to get my Mom for her birthday so I decided to try something different and she absolutely loved it! She was really happy with the variety of snacks that came with the wine. I will definitely be returning when I need a quick and easy gift for someone.
Absolutely outstanding gift!
By LCDR Mitchell
from Juffair, Bahrain
My spouse informed me that both bottles of wine had a wonderful sweet, crisp taste, and paired well with the great selection of snacks. The gift arrived on time.
Great and unique gift.

Gift was exactly as advertised!
from Mississippi
Great web site, great product, and great service, what is there not to like? Ordering was super easy, product looked exactly like the picture, and item was delivered right on time just as promised! Recipient raved about all the snacks and the taste of the wine. One item to note for everyone, items containing alcohol require the adult recipient to sign for this product. I knew the recipient would be at work on the delivery date so i had the item held at the nearest UPS customer service store and had the recipient pick it up at the customer service pick up window. It worked out perfectly!!! Thanks Wine Country
Awesome Gift Basket
By KC

Awesome gift basket. Very pleased with the product and the price was reasonable. The only negative which is typical in almost all online purchases is the shipping is a little steep but the product was well worth it. Recipient loved it too! Will definitely use this company again!
My recipient was so pleased
By Dee

The basket was delivered right on time. Tracking is so nice, to be able to tell recipients when to expect delivery, especially when they are required to sign for it.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- On Monday, the Buffalo Bills made the decision to sign quarterback Matt Flynn to the active roster. The signing was not influenced by the injury to quarterback Thad Lewis, however. Meeting with the media a day after their 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati, head coach Doug Marrone revealed that both the X-rays and the MRI on Lewis' injured right foot have come back negative. "We're going to list him day-to-day because we have to," Marrone said. "I feel good about him being able to play on Sunday." Lewis was spotted in the locker room after the game with a walking boot on his foot. Now that Flynn is on the active roster and last week's starter seems likely to play, the Bills will try to get their new signee up to speed as quickly as possible. The head coach didn't necessarily rule him out of being the backup to Lewis on Sunday in Miami. "It all depends on how fast we can get him ready," Marrone replied. "But if not, Jeff [Tuel] will be in there playing and Matt will be backing him up." Rookie quarterback EJ Manuel has taken a step forward in his efforts to get back on the playing field. The Bills kept him away from strenuous activities since his injury occurred on October 3, but Manuel is likely to start the on-field portion of rehab on Tuesday. Marrone believes the rookie quarterback is "ahead of schedule," but the Bills have yet to provide a timetable for his return. The coach believes once Manuel starts the rehab process and they evaluate him, they can start to get a firm schedule as to when he may be back for practice. To make room for the addition of Flynn on the roster, the Bills elected to place rookie safety Johnathan Meeks on Injured Reserve with the designation to return with an ankle injury. With the rules in place, the earliest Meeks can return to the team is for Buffalo's Week 15 matchup in Jacksonville. He must sit for a minimum of eight weeks. The Bills seem to be getting healthier everywhere else. Outside linebacker Manny Lawson left the Bengals game with a hamstring injury, but Marrone said that there are no lingering problems and made it sound as though Lawson would be ready to play against the Dolphins in Week Seven. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson (back), cornerback Ron Brooks (foot), cornerback Stephon Gilmore (wrist) and running back C.J. Spiller (ankle) are all on the mend from their respective injuries. Only Johnson and Brooks missed the Cincinnati game because of the injury, but the head coach said they feel good about the progress of all four players. The Bills travel to Miami this weekend to take on the Dolphins on Sunday. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

The skies over Lakeland were rumbling today as a rare relic of World War II arrived.
A silver B-29 bomber made several passes over Polk County this afternoon before rolling to a stop at Lakeland-Linder Airport. This plane, nicknamed Fifi, is the last B-29 Superfortress still flying.
It's among several historic aircraft on display at the airport this week, and while you can even book a ride, it won't come cheap. A seat in the cockpit costs over $1,000, but that money goes to maintenance and upkeep of this flying piece of history.

What health risks are real? What are imagined?
I don't know about you, but I think that my risk of experiencing sudden death in 2010 from sitting next to a terrorist in flaming underwear on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit is fairly low. But the risk of dying because someone used a cell phone while driving, or because I used one myself? That's a lot higher:
- A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Motorists found that motorists who use cell phones while driving are four times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves.
- In 2002, the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis calculated that 2,600 people die each year as a result of using cell phones while driving. They estimated that another 330,000 are injured.
- According to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, drivers talking on cell phones are 18 percent slower to react to brake lights. They also take 17 percent longer to regain the speed they lost when they braked.
As a busy pastor commuting between your home, office, church, or the hospital, you may be even more tempted than other drivers to work on the phone while you're driving.
I invite you to weigh the costs and benefits.
Can learning in real time what your spouse hopes you'll bring home for dinner outweigh the risks of a crash? Will getting an update on the emergency you're reacting to change how you'll respond when you arrive at your destination? Do you really want to be available at any time or any place? Wouldn't you rather drive in companionable silence, or listen to music, than multi-task?
One approach to minimizing the temptation to answer the phone while driving is to turn it off before you get in the car, and keep it turned off until you are physically off the road or out of the car. Though a hands-free device might seem like an alternative, new data shows that they don't lessen risk appreciably - you're still distracted.
So maybe you use the few minutes to give yourself a break instead.
Just a thought...
Yours in health,

Last Wednesday, I taught in the Cape Town township of Khayelitsha. The University of Cape Town has a program called SHAWCO, which pairs college students with the brightest children for extra instruction after school. A bus took us from campus to Khayelitsha, which is Cape Town's biggest township. With a population of over 400,000, it is essentially a city unto itself. While it is hard to summarize such a large community based off one visit, the township is mostly comprised of poorly constructed shacks and dusty roads.
Obviously it does not resemble the luxurious waterfront area or even the student neighborhood where I currently reside. Moreover, the demographics are drastically different. Townships are primarily black whereas the waterfront and downtown areas are almost all white. While this is obviously a lasting result of apartheid, I came to the depressing realization that the United State is hardly different. When I think of my hometown of Ridgewood, NJ versus the much larger town of Patterson, which is just 15 minutes away, the differences in demographics and socio-economic standing are just as stark as Cape Town.
I chose to work with sixth graders in math. I had preferred to work with younger kids, as opposed to adolescents, but we were told that unless you could speak Afrikaans or Xhosa (a clicking language) you should probably stick to older students. I was glad I listened to their advice. My friend from the US who chose to teach fourth graders was besieged by young kids that climbed all over him while clicking louder and louder until he lost all control. Still, English was hardly spoken at the sixth grade level and I had to basically use two or three of the 14 students I was working with to translate for everyone else.
Nevertheless, I was shocked by all the student's eagerness to learn, especially considering the circumstances. For instance, there was only one notebook for 14 students, the desks were so scratched and dented it was almost impossible to write on, there were not enough pencils, and the teacher (me) did not speak the primary language of the kids. However, the students were undeterred and constantly wanted more math problems to work on. I was forced to think of problems on the fly.
As I went around the room to correct everyone's work, I was extremely impressed with the level of math comprehension of each student, even if they are the more accelerated ones at the school. Yet, one of the more peculiar aspects of the day was when I wrote "100%" on their papers, many asked me to sign it as well. I assumed it was to show the veracity of the percentage to their parents, but when the day was over most just threw the papers away. All in all though, the experience was fascinating and I can't wait to help these amazing students every week.

Muira Pama
Latin Name: ptychopetalum olacoidesMuira Pauma is used to restore sexual virility and to increase sexual desire and potency in men.Dr. Jacques Waynberg, at the Institute of Sexology in Paris, France, did a study of 262 men complaining of lack of sexual desire, or the inability to maintain or attain an erection. The results showed that 62% of men with a lack of libido had benefited. 51% of men who had erection problems also benefited. Recent clinical studies further validate the potency of Muira Pauma. Presently, the mechanism of action of Muira Pauma is unknown. From the preliminary information, it appears that it works on enhancing both physiological and physical aspects of sexual function.

Elk once ranged over most of the United States from Maine to New Mexico. By 1860, the eastern elk had been eliminated by hunters. By 1912, about 124 Roosevelt elk remained in northern California. Prairie Creek Redwood State Park became an elk refuge in 1923 where elk are common today.

Featured Article - Find Your Thrill at Erin Hills
The phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" must have been coined by a golfer looking at a photograph of Erin Hills. For the otherworldly images by our Chief Photographer Paul Hundley speak to the soul more than any written word could ever do.
As host of the 2017 U.S. Open, Erin Hills has the distinction of being the first course in the Badger State to host the nation's most historic major. But the potential 8,300 yard behemoth located 35 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, WI, has so much more to offer than one week in June three years from now.
Presently, Erin Hills is a bona fide Top-10 Public Course according to Golf Digest's prestigious 2013-14 list. Very rarely will a first-time entrant come in at such a high position, a placement that does not go unnoticed by Erin Hills' staff. "Golf Digest's rankings are supposed to focus on the course itself and not on the service at the course, but it is safe to say that this high ranking says an awful lot about our talented and dedicated maintenance staff," stated John Morrissett, Competition Director at Erin Hills. "They put in so much work on the course, and they do so out of eyesight of the guests. Even the first group off will not run into the maintenance staff as they prepare the course for that day, which leads to a better experience," concluded Morrissett.

I've always read reviews on "acne.org" but I've never actually signed up and wrote about my story.
I used to have moderate pimples here and there, nothing big.
I was prescribed "Clindoxyl" a benzoyl peroxide based topical acne treatment.
I'd use it here and there, not too often.
Two years ago my skin just went from moderate to terribly itch, swollen and acne prone.
Nothing will stop my acne. I've gone to dermatologists and doctors.
They all prescribed me with stronger doses of benzoyl peroxide.
This resulted in severe acne and a swollen face.
It's come to the point where my face has permanently grown at least 5cm around the diameter.
I've tried countless products: Clinique 3 Step, Bliss Skincare System, Proactive.
Nothing works!
I'm just sick of the embarrassment of having to hide my face all the time.
If anyone has advice, please let me know!

I would recommend the regimen. If you chose to embark on it, you should probably do some research, though. Whatever you choose, though, just stick with it.

a-z living
I'm teaching The Art of Novel Ninjutsu (TM) and Building a Bodacious Brand (TM). Should be lots of fun!
I thought I was mostly prepared, but home repairs have had me distracted and not terribly efficient. So now I'm running around like a crazy person trying to get everything done.
I feel super passionate about the topics I'm teaching and I want them to be the best I can make them. Wish me luck!
Also, thank you so very much to everyone who has taken the time to comment during this A-Z Challenge. It is my singular bloggie goal to visit each of your blogs and return the kindness you have shown me.
Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see my Utah friends in Ephraim tomorrow!

You are forgiven, Ali. :DReplyDelete
Good luck. I'm guessing it's quite a distance from me, considering it's a two hour drive for me just to get to the Canadian border.
Yes, good luck and have fun. I'd love to attend but live in Florida.ReplyDelete
Written so ali-quently. No sign of failure from where I stand. Best wishes. Jeff.ReplyDelete
Wow- best wishes on the conference. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month.ReplyDelete
It just sounds like so much fun! Good luck with your presentations, and sorry I missed chat yesterday...Prom!!!!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your classes and home repairs. I know how those are.ReplyDelete
That's a worthy reason. Knock 'em dead with your Ninja brilliance, Ali!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your presentations! You'll be great. :)ReplyDelete
The A-Z challenge seems so fun/cool, but I'm always too daunted to do it because it's SO MUCH blogging, and I don't know if I'll be able to be amusing and/or informative so often. Haha. So kudos to you, and you're totally forgiven! Your life is so busy right now!
So yeah, what's with that whole blogging and having a super-busy life thing? Makes it a tad hard to find that ever elusive balance. But it's okay. Live. It leads to so much laughter and love and those things are worth living for.ReplyDelete
Have a good time at the conference and I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job presenting :-0
So excited for you, ali! I hope it's a wonderful time! I know you'll do a fabulous, kick-butt job!ReplyDelete
It's good to have a life. :)ReplyDelete

Happy A to Z!
Let's see, I believe from where I am at now to Utah is about 17 hours minimum, so can't join you!ReplyDelete
If you get the time, you can blog from there with a different theme about the topics.
Woohoo! So awesome that you are teaching! I hope it goes super well Ali! <3ReplyDelete
Stina ~ Another Canadian - awesome! I love your profile picture too, Stina. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Shelly ~ I suppose I can forgive you. ;) Right about now (when it's 40 degrees and raining heavily, I wish I were in sunny Florida!)
ROFL Jeff! Your comment is perhaps one of the my favorite of all time. It reminds of my university days and the music school where I studied. I had a friend there (a brilliant pianist and composer) who made it his mission to discover all the ALI-words he could. There's be notes on the lounge door and slipped into my music folder with "ali-lujah" or "ali-ali-all-come-free", or "ali-babba" (my favorite). He even wrote a piece of music one time! (And no, he wasn't in love with me--he was just a good friend)
Sharkbytes ~ If you can do it, that'll be quite the accomplishment! You'd deserve an award for that, for sure!
Tasha ~ I, um. Kinda missed it too! (bad ninja! bad!) I hope prom was awesome!
Patti ~ Classes are done (successfully!) and the home repairs are underway! Yeah!
Alex ~ I was a good ninja on Saturday! Though, a true ninja never lets her sensei down--I have more training I must do!
Krispy! Thank you so much for visiting! And hey, you're the "don't go with the flow" girl, the "i am a rebel" girl. Which I totally love!
Thank you Angela! It was a lot of fun and I discovered I really do enjoy teaching!
Thanks LT! It was great!
Kate ~ Funny, there's a post on the dojo blog today about the importance of LIVING. So easy to forget the real life when we're busy writing about a virtual one! Thank you for visiting!
Linda ~ Hey! I didn't think of that way! Okay, now I don't feel so bad. Thank you!
Jeremy ~ head/desk That would have been a great idea! If only I'd read your comment sooner .... Thank you for visiting!
Thank you Carolyn!
Welcome Fellow Ninjas! Gimme your best palm strike, karate chop, side kick or roundhouse. I'm ready!

yes! i was just thinking last week how i wish samus still had green hair!
Microsoft Points are awful, awful things. Seriously. They are. So, even though we question the source of this rumor, we really hope that it's true.
For those unfamiliar, if you want to buy things on the XBox Marketplace, you have to buy "points", instead of just giving them your credit card, like a grown adult. Not that you want to give Microsoft your credit card right now, but the point is, it added an unnecessary and annoying step to what should be a simple transaction.
And now, according to "Inside Mobile Apps", a site nobody has heard of, Microsoft is punching Points' ticket. This would be a relief on multiple levels: it'd strip out the need for an extraneous transaction; it wouldn't force you to spend real money to buy a false currency; and it'll also help with foreign exchange and inflation problems, since Microsoft sets an arbitrary number of points for items online instead of letting its vendors set, you know, an actual price.
So, we really hope this is true. And then after you fix this, Microsoft, how about giving up the ghost on Gold and just letting us actually use our Internet connections and consoles that we paid for the way we want to?

Thanks for following live coverage of the F1 season opener from Albert Park.
Stay on this website all the news and analysis from our team of experts in Melbourne.
To recap, Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg has claimed his fourth grand prix victory with a commanding drive in the opening race of the 2014 F1 season.
Rosberg finished 24.5 seconds ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, who started from second on the grid and endured several nervous laps as rookie McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen closed in during the final stages of the race.
Magnussen's McLaren teammate Jenson Button finished fourth, ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Williams young-gun Valtteri Bottas.
"The car was really, really quick today... it just all worked perfectly,'' an ecstatic Rosberg said.
Ricciardo said Red Bull had had a big turnaround in performance in about three weeks.
"We hadn't done a race distance, we didn't have confidence we'd see the chequered flag," he said.
Ricciardo gives full credit to the Red Bull team for the turnaround in performance in just 2-3 weeks.
He says jump onto the podium was a tribute to ex-Red Bull star mark Webber who in a 12-year career was never able to finish on the podium at Albert Park.
The crowd continue to go nuts as Ricciardo accepts his trophy from Grand Prix chairman Ron Walker.
1980 world champion Alan Jones is doing the podium interviews and greets the crowd with a 'g'day'.
Here's the top 10:
It was a brilliant debut from McLaren's Kevin Magnussen who upstaged his experienced teammate Jenson Button for third.
Ricciardo is pumped. He salutes the crowd as the national anthems begin.
It's 30 years since Nico's father Keke won an Australian Grand Prix - then at Adelaide. Ricciardo kept his cool during the tense last lap and the crowd has gone nuts for the Australian who claims his first podium finish at his home grand prix.
The crowd can be heard cheering for their man as Rosberg begins the final lap. It's been a brilliant drive from the German who hasn't been challenged. Ricciardo is holding on. Victory for Rosberg as Ricciardo takes second.
Magnussen is now told 'Yellow G3'. We assume this means go for it. It's an intriguing battle as Rosberg disappears down the road. He's 31 seconds in front and well on the way to a fourth grand prix victory.
McLaren tells Magnussen to take 'Yellow G6' for a few laps. We have no idea what this means but Ricciardo has pushed his gap to 1.6 laps.
Red Bull radio transmission tells Ricciardo that Magnussen is saving fuel for a few laps and 'they'll have a go later'.
Bottas, meanwhile, uses his DRS to advantage and passes Hulkenberg to take 6th position.
It's getting tense for the Australian fans as Ricciardo is now less than a second in front of Magnussen who's poised to make his move.
McLaren tells Button that 'Ricciardo is really struggling'. The Australian is still 1.2 seconds in front of Magnussen in third. Magnussen is about three seconds in front of his teammate Button, so the Brit is still in the mix for a podium with seven laps to go.
Bottas is now challenging Hulkenberg for 6th.
Lotus' nightmarish start to 2014 just took a turn for the worst with the retirement of Romain Grosjean on lap 46. Just not enough speed or reliability from Lotus so far.
Bottas has moved into seventh as Vergne got horribly sideways in his Toro Rosso. More applause from Williams who would have been expecting a lot more from this weekend.
Ferrari is urging Alonso to push on, reminding the Spaniard that it's a 'battle of reliabilty'.
Alonso is running 5th - 30.5 seconds behind race leader Rosberg.
Here's the running order:
Kevin Magnussen is now on the charge and is just 1.2 seconds behind Ricciardo. It has been a great debut for the driver who replaced Sergio Perez at McLaren and is looking good for a podium finish. He's now all over Ricciardo's Red Bull.
Still no substantial rain at Albert Park but there are showers in and around the city. This could still have a bearing on the outcome of the race.
There's another rush to the pits, including Ricciardo who has dropped to third but will soon reclaim second as McLaren tells Magussen to 'box this lap'.
It's been a quiet race for Fernando Alonso who is running fourth. He's just done a personal best lap as his team mate Raikkonen moves into fifth.
Raikkonen then locks a brake, allowing Bottas to move up a spot. It's a great recovery from the Williams driver.
On a positive note for Lotus who have had a dismal start to the season so far, Grosjean and Maldonado are both still in the race, running 14th and 15th.
Oops, strike that, Maldonado pulls over and is out on the 32nd lap.
Ricciardo is still 10.6 seconds behind Rosberg but he has extended his gap over third-placed Magnussen in a McLaren to eight seconds.
Valtteri Bottas is on a charge again. After smacking a wall and losing a tyre, the young Williams driver has put in some flying laps and forced his way back into the top 10. He's 9th, less than three seconds behind Raikkonen.
Rosberg's lead is now out beyond 10 seconds. Mercedes was the dominant team during the pre-season tests, clocking up the most laps - and with the best reliability. He will be extremely hard to beat from here.
On course cameras, meanwhile, are showing a few spots of rain around the track.
For our mobile readers - here's a link to our live F1 race tracker.
Just an observation from the media centre... some journalists are saying that they can't believe how quiet the cars are - compared to last year's screaming V8s.
From a vantage point on the pit straight - ear plugs weren't really needed for the start - very different from previous years.
First #F1 pitstop for @KevinMagnussen! pic.twitter.com/CLgvyyUVoC
— McLaren (@McLarenF1) March 16, 2014
Ricciardo, meanwhile, has been told to not save fuel and go for it from his team. The young Aussie is now 5.2 seconds behind Rosberg.
It's another great performance - so far - from Nico Hulkenberg. Back with Force India, the German is running fourth and in the hunt for a podium.
Vettel, with cap and polo shirt, is in intense conversation with Red Bull folk as he watches the race from the pit.
Hamilton, who's out of the race, says 'I'm not fed up, I'm looking forward to some good food tonight'.
The safety car is in and the racing gets under way again and now plenty of attention turns to strategy and fuel conservation.
Rosberg, meanwhile, is going for it. He's just posted the fastest lap of the race and has put 2.2 seconds on Ricciardo in a lap.
Ricciardo has been told to expect very light rain at turn 3. The radar is showing showers in the area but most of the track remains dry for now.
As the field sorts itself out behind the safety car, Button now runs 6th.
Here's the top 10:
The top eight have pitted and the track is clear so it will just be a few moments til the racing starts again.
Bottas' stray right rear means the safety car is deployed... and a pit-stop opportunity for some - including Button who is running 9th.
The Brit has a knack of timing his stops to his advantage.
Cheers turn to gloom as Bottas loses his right rear wheel after clipping a concrete wall. It was just a clip but the damage has been done. He's crawling around the circuit on a rim but there may be damage to his suspension. He is out of the pits again and suspension appears to be in tact.
Cheers from the Williams team as Bottas moves into 6th. He's in a battle with Vergne and Raikkonen who has moved to 7th. Alonso, meanwhile, is fifth but under the pump from Bottas who is on a charge.
McLaren's Kevin Magnussen has moved to third - about 5 seconds behind Ricciardo who is 5 seconds behind Rosberg.
Vettel is out of the race. He said during the formation lap: 'Is it normal that I have no power?'
Replays show a great start from Rosberg but a terrific recovery from Ricciardo to reclaim second place.
Rosberg has pulled a 2.8 second gap on Ricciardo as Bottas and Vergne struggle for 7th. It's a great battle.
And Vettel is in the pits and looks like he could be out of the race.
Some conclusive information on Hamilton - he's now out of the race after reporting engine woes.
Here's the running order:
And now Hamilton has been told to retire. Now his team is telling him to stay out! What is going on at Mercedes? He appears to have ignored the team and push on.
Massa, Kobayashi and Bianchi are already out of the race. The weekend promised so much for Massa and Williams and Massa but it has ended.
Vettel is in a bit of trouble and is in constant communication with his team over the radio.
They're off! Ricciardo got swamped at the first corner by both Mercedes' but is back in second. There's carnage back in the field.
That meant an aborted start. Here we go again...
Disaster for Marussia with both cars in trouble for the race has even started. Jules Bianchi has stalled on the grid as the field took off for the warm-up lap.
The cars have set off on the parade lap. It's a last chance for drivers to do a few practice starts and get heat into their tyres for the all-important start. It's not the easiest circuit to overtake so the first corner could be crucial.
There's no rain yet. It's 19 degrees at Albert Park with a track temperature of 28. The wind speed is up over 20km/h.
Button said during Saturday's practice session that the strong wind was making it more challenging for drivers. It could be worse this afternoon.
Ricciardo declares he's feeling good and 'ready to go'. You can sense the tension in him as he gets ready to climb into his Red Bull machine.
Not too far away is Australia's last F1 world champion Alan Jones who has said this weekend that he's no fan of F1's new noise.
Nico Rosberg, meanwhile, looks like a spectator as he tucks into his lunch.
It's time for the national anthem... just minutes now.
Pit lane is full of activity as mechanics pour onto the main straight before the race.
Lotus, who've had a torrid weekend, have announced that Romain Grosjean will start from pitlane... it's a long way from the podium where the Frenchman was a regular challenger last season.
His new teammate, Pastor Maldonado, also faces a struggle. He starts from 21st on the grid.
It's now just 30 minutes to the race start and the F1 machines have burst into life and are on the track.
They will do a comparatively slow lap before lining up on the grid. This gives celebs and others the opportunity to do a grid walk before the cars head off on another parade lap.

This year's race is the second last in the current contract, which cost Victorian taxpayers a cool $50 million in subsidies last year, reports the AFR's John Stensholt.
Australian F1 supremo Ron Walker says that a proposal to extend the deal is before the government and he expects a decision by November's state election at the latest.
And here's one theory on how this afternoon's race could play out:
As for race strategy, I have a feeling we will see two stops and fuel preservation for 2/3 distance. At final stop, let the things loose.

It's now less than an hour to go until the 2014 season blasts off.
It's gloomy and the temperature has dipped to 18, but the sun has appeared if only for a moment. A typical March day in Melbourne.
There's not much happening on track at the moment - the F/A18 is up next.
Want to know more about Daniel Ricciardo? Here's a great read.

Much has been been written about the regulation changes for 2014 - especially the smaller V6 turbocharged engines and the noise - or lack of - the new power units are producing.
Some have speculated that ear plug sales would be down this year while others welcomed the fly over by the seriously loud F/A18 with 'finally, some noise'.
Here's a piece from Mark Fogarty which explains the changes and includes a great interactive.
It has been getting progressively darker at Albert Park and it does look like rain could play a part in this afternoon's race.
McLaren star Jenson Button reckons Mercedes went into the first round with a one second advantage over other teams. As Saturday's qualifying showed, rain could throw the race wide open.
Rania Spooner: Ashleigh and his mum Janine sporting masks of local hopeful Daniel Ricciardo.
Ashleigh's a go cart racer from Eltham who reckons Ricciardo is in with a good chance for the big race.
Daniel Ricciardo fans.
It's an hour-and-a-half from the race time and the drivers are all on the main straight for the group photo. Hamilton is happy to do TV interviews while Ricciardo smiles. He does that a lot.
Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, looks like he is freezing. It's just 19 degrees and the track temperature is 29. Like Saturday, the sun has disappeared behind some nasty looking clouds and the wind is up.
The drivers are now climbing into vintage convertibles for a parade lap.
Welcome to live coverage of the first formula one grand prix of the season from Albert Park.
A thrilling qualifying session saw local hope Daniel Ricciardo pipped at the line by Lewis Hamilton in the dying stages, giving fans hope that an Australian could finally win a home grand prix.
As teams grapple with new cars and new regulations, rain is expected to fall at the circuit in time for the race.
Here's a recap of Saturday's qualifying by Michael Lynch.

Welcome to Tony Igy's World
Posted by Shamir Lee on 07/03 at 04:02 PM
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of dance music. I usually go through a dance music phase once a month. I prefer earlier sounds like old school house, especially acid house. But I like some of the newer stuff, too. I don't know too many names, but there is one DJ who has satisfied me with his sounds consistently. His name is Tony Igy.
I'm not sure how to pronounce his surname, and I don't know much about him, except that he's Russian. Mystery always makes things better (well, not always, but anyway). I was actually introduced to him when I heard Iggy Azalea's "My World" about two years ago. She sampled his most notable piece "Astronomia." I had to find out who created this electronic masterpiece (because that's pretty much the only thing that made Azalea's song worth listening to), and after a little bit of research, I discovered Tony Igy. I was hooked. Songs like "Deceit of Sight," "Train," and "Pentagramma" have been played over and over again on repeat during workouts, homework, and cooking.
Recently, I stumbled upon a new song by Igy: "Selection." It's new to me, but it's been out for a while now. How could I have missed it? It's repetitive smooth beats relax me and simultaneously make me want to dance. Now, I've been reawakened to his music, listening to him on repeat like before. I'm not well-versed in the EDM world, but based on the big names of the genre, Tony Igy doesn't get as much credit as he deserves. Maybe I'm just biased.
For people who avoid dance music, I say give it a chance. Sometimes I feel embarrassed admitting I listen to dance music because I know people automatically think of pop. But like any genre, when you dig deep enough you find some gems, Igy being one of them. Listen to "Astronomia," posted below. I think it's a good way to be introduced to this genre.

2 different Flip Flops on the Beach magnets
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets I ordered the Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets with two different photos to send out to friends and family. The both came out great. On the second one we added a caption to the photo "We are taking the plunge" and it was by far everyone's favorite. IT was a picture of us jumping into the waterfalls in Jamaica.
Wonderful Products!
Flip Flops on the Beach Enclosure Cards I would highly recommend magnet street invitations to anyone! I was able to personalize my invitations online, receive a free sample of my personalized invitation, and samples of the different paper choices. This allowed me to see the colors and paper up close and personal and alter anything that I didn't like. The shipping was incredibly fast! I ordered my invitations on a Monday and received them the following Wednesday in a beautiful packaging! Plus, the prices were very reasonable. I got all of invitations, envelopes, response cards and envelopes, insert info cards, and return address labels and stickers all for under $400. With my 25% coupon, it was a deal! Overall, I am thrilled with the quality of my invitations and have gotten many compliments on the design! Thanks magnet street!
love magnets
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets They came in pretty quick and they came out awesome!! I love the magnets, that way people can see them whenever they go in the fridge....and you know you go in the fridge ALL THE TIME!! lol I really like them and I'm very excited to sent them out!!
Beautiful Magnet!
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets These magnets came out gorgeous! Exactly what we wanted for our Mexico Beach Wedding! Through the personalization part we were able to add our website to the front of the magnet for no additional charge (I saw complaints about not being able to put website on but you can! You just have to request it!) The price was excellent and the box and shipping methods were great! I absolutely recommend and may even get my invitations from magnet street as well!
Beautiful card, great customer service!
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets I would recommend magnet street to anyone, great product, super easy and excellant customer service!

The similarities between this year's Malvern Leopards' team and the 2011 team that advanced to the 4A state championship game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock are staggering.
That season, Malvern lost one nonconference game to Hot Springs Lakeside and finished second in the 7-4A Conference after falling to an overpowering Pulaski Academy team.
The 2011 squad was also known for its tremendous defense, imposing its will on each and every playoff opponent.
Fast-forward two years and we see a very similar Leopards' team.
Magnet Cove headed to Ouachita High School Tuesday night to play four basketball games, winning the first three.
In the first game, between the junior girls' teams, Magnet Cove rallied for a 37-34 victory.
Ouachita jumped out to a big 13-2 lead after one quarter was in the books and held a commanding 25-10 lead at the half.
In the second half, however, the Junior Lady Panthers' defense stepped up and held Ouachita to just nine points in the second half, including a third quarter dominated by Magnet Cove 14-2.
For the full story, see Thursday's (November 21) Malvern Daily Record.
On Tuesday night, all four of Bismarck's basketball teams made the trip over to Haskell to take on Benton Harmony Grove.
The first game was a matchup of the junior girls' teams, with the Junior Lady Lions falling 35-18 because of turnovers and cold shooting.
Bismarck quickly found itself down in a 11-6 hole after the first quarter and saw that deficit grow to 20-10 by halftime.
As the game entered the final quarter, the Junior Lady Cardinals held a 29-16 lead.
When you imagine the typical defensive lineman, what comes to mind?
A mean, hard-hitting player that enjoys the punishment he inflicts upon his opponents?
Most of the time, yes.
What about a soft-spoken and polite student council president with a love of poetry?
Not usually, which is what makes Malvern senior nose guard (and occasional right guard) Isaac Wright something different.
Wright heads up the defensive front line of the Malvern Leopards, who are in one of their best three-year stretches in decades.
One round of the football playoffs are behind us and the second round is just a day away.
The local teams that had first-round games made the most of their opportunities, coming away with big wins.
Because of that, we will have multiple Coaches and Games of the Week this week.
For the Coaches of the Week, we have Malvern head coach Mike Scarbrough and Magnet Cove's Ronnie Efird.
For the full column, see Thursday's (November 21) Malvern Daily Record.
On Monday night, the Ouachita Junior High girls and boys traveled to Haskell to take on the Benton Harmony Grove Junior High Cardinal teams.
The first game of the night saw the Junior Lady Warriors of Ouachita coming away with a 35-16 victory.
Ouachita fell behind early, trailing 6-5 after the first quarter, but rebounded with a big second quarter to lead 21-11 at the half.
In the second half, the Junior Lady Warriors' defense was front and center, holding Benton Harmony Grove to no points. Ouachita added nine points in the third quarter to hold a 30-11 lead heading into the final frame.
It may still be football season for some, but the Glen Rose Beavers and the Poyen Indians proved they were ready for basketball on Tuesday night.
Glen Rose won the two junior high games of the night, while Poyen defended their home court in the two senior high games.
In the first game of the night, the Glen Rose Junior Lady Beavers defeated the Poyen Junior Lady Indians by the score of 40-35.
It started off as a low-scoring game, with Glen Rose holding a small 6-2 lead after the first quarter.
For the full story, see Wednesday's (November 20) Malvern Daily Record.
I got to catch the tail-end of the Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers the other night.
Even though I'm pretty much a fan of the Pats, I thought it was a rather exciting game.
When Cam Newton completed the pass to give the Panthers the lead with around a minute to play, I was a bit let down, but I figured as long as New England had Tom Brady they were good to go.
With three time outs remaining, Brady lived up to his Hall of Fame billing and drove the Patriots down the field, putting them in position to win on the last play of the game.
In our last installment, we broke down the schedule of the Malvern Leopards in the 4A Classification.
Today, we're going to step down one class and look at the Beavers of Glen Rose, a team that made it to the 3A state championship game. They seemingly had the game won, but Harding Academy set up a brilliant set of plays in the last half-minute to score a touchdown and win the game.
With a little more than a month to go before the first game of the 2013 football season, football fever is beginning to take hold across the county.
Here at the Malvern Daily Record, we will have a football preview coming out soon, but I'd like to give you a little sneak peak of the upcoming season by breaking down the schedules of all six teams in our coverage area.
Today, we are going to take a look at the schedule of the Malvern Leopards, of the 7-4A Conference.
For the full story, see Thursday's Malvern Daily Record.

Five Freedoms of First Amendment on Display at March 50 Years Ago
Fifty years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom of his dream of racial equality — setting a historic milepost in the civil rights movement and in the nation's repudiation of the legal and historical stain of slavery.
The means, mechanism and methods of that Aug. 28, 1963, speech were the five freedoms of the First Amendment, given new definition and impact in that moment by an elegant and moving voice.
King's speech was rooted in a religious and philosophical belief of equality: "When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent Constitution and Declaration of Independence," King said, those Founders promised "that all men — yes, black men as well as white men —would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Clearly, the right of free speech ensured that an entrenched and powerful system of bigotry backed by laws of segregation and the historical customs of separation could not silence its critics. The rights of assembly and petition guaranteed that hundreds of thousands of marchers — an amazingly diverse group, in peaceful protest on that day and others — could not long be stopped, dispersed or silenced by government forces.
And the amendment also provided that a free press, while shamefully slow in many cases to rise to the challenge, ultimately would document the terrible legacies of slavery — poverty, unemployment and fractured families — as well as provide a living room view of the horrific death spasms of a segregated society. There was no avoiding the evening news views of police dogs and fire hoses loosed on fellow citizens, the magazine articles with indelible images of lynched men, and the newspaper stories and photos of bombed churches and bloody Freedom Riders.
It is no stretch to say that our First Amendment freedoms were never so much in evidence, never more important, and never so essential in providing and protecting the means by which a nation could confront its worst demons without government direction, interference or control.
Just 100 years after the Civil War tore at the fabric of the Union, those freedoms provided the path for the nation to take corrective action by a new set of laws to protect voting rights and against discrimination, and to set in motion new attitudes. Little more than one century after a nationwide controversy was sparked in 1901 when President Theodore Roosevelt invited noted African-American educator Booker T. Washington to dinner at the White House, the nation saw the election in 2008 of an African-American president, Barack Obama.
To be sure, the effort toward equal rights goes on, as does the role of our five core freedoms in that work.
At a number of programs surrounding the opening of "Make some Noise," a new exhibit at the Newseum noting the events of 1963, speakers and panelists reminded us that the march was not just for "freedom, but also about "jobs." Fifty years later, unemployment for minorities still exceeds by far the jobless rate for whites.
Speakers at the National Mall events commemorating the March expanded the call for equality to all minorities, to gays and to immigrants. Critics also assailed the U.S. Supreme Court decision earlier this year to end what many see as the essential voter rights protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
Today's legislative and social battles over the major issues of our day are both fueled by First Amendment freedoms and tempered by the "safety valve" aspect of those same rights. We have thus far avoided using those freedoms to avoid the great fear of the Founders, the "tyranny of the majority" that by force, heredity or royal claims had so paralyzed social progress in their time, and which even today plunge many nations into violent convulsions.
Panelists in a July 29 program at the Newseum theorized that King's closing words echo strongly down the halls of our history, because he spoke both to issues and aspiration in great American experience in self-governance, one rooted in five basic freedoms: religion, speech, press, assembly and petition. He put it this way:
"When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, Free at last, Great God almighty, We are free at last."

President Obama held a press conference today announcing Jack Lew as his nomination to replace outgoing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. During Lew's remarks, he referenced the widespread reports on his whacky signature – which may soon be on the United States dollar bill.
"I though I knew you pretty well but it was only yesterday that I discovered that we both share a common challenge with penmanship," Lew joked while addressing Geithner during the press conference.
When Timothy Geithner was nominated, he was also mocked for his sloppy signature. Afterwards he used a reformed version for the nation's currency.
Obama also mentioned Lew's signature during his press conference.
"I had never noticed Jack's signature," Obama joked. "When this was highlighted yesterday in the press I considered rescinding my offer to appoint him."
