NYCB: All American, All Balanchine
Of the four ballets, the one I was most curious about seeing was Ivesiana. It's not a regular in the City Ballet repertoire. It's a rather weird ballet, with three extremely dark, even sinister sections and one section ("In the Inn") that seems more Broadway than anything. As a result the ballet lacks the usual Balanchine cohesion and in fact does seem like a hodgepodge of vignettes set to Charles Ives music, as the title would suggest.
The first section ("Central Park in the Dark") takes place on an extremely darkened stage, and there are these creepy beings who crawl around the place. A man and a woman (danced by the excellent Ashley Laracey and Zachary Catazaro) have a brief, but unfulfilling pas de deux that ends with Laracey crumpled on the floor. Was she raped? Laracey was a stand-out in this brief but haunting part -- she was both ethereal and desperate.
The second part of the ballet is the most famous -- "The Unanswered Question" where a woman (Janie Taylor) is manipulated aloft by four men as she tries to connect with another man (Anthony Huxley). The woman's feet never touch the ground -- she is just contorted into all sorts of poses by these sinister men. The stage is almost completely dark. The ending echoes the ending of Serenade. The part was originated on Allegra Kent. Since I don't have a point of comparison Janie Taylor looked fine, although she doesn't have the Lolita-like sexiness that apparently made Kent so memorable in the roll.
The third section ("In the Inn") is an anomaly -- the stage is completely brightened, and a man and a woman have a brief flirtation before parting. There's a homage to the famous moment in Top Hat where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers shake hands. Amar Ramasar and Sara Mearns were charming but this whole section seemed like it belonged in another ballet. The final section ("In the Night") returned to the dark and creepy tone of the first two sections. I can't say Ivesiana is my favorite ballet, but it was definitely worth it to see this Balanchine rarity.
The afternoon began with Who Cares? I thought Santo Loquasto's new costumes were ugly -- the women are now dressed in pepto bismol pink and bright turquoise costumes, and the men in bright, baggy and ugly blue sweatsuits. The principal women are now in these tight, over-corseted tutus that make me miss the casual look of the old costumes. Abi Stafford made her usual total non-impression in "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" while Ana Sophia Scheller ("Embraceable You") doesn't quite have the easy-breezy relaxed posture this ballet requires. But Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild predictably brought down the house in "The Man I Love." Their body language is pitch perfect. Their musicality -- impeccable. Their chemistry -- through the roof. I heard more than a few swoons when Peck was carried offstage by Fairchild. Later Peck returned to give a dynamite rendition of "Fascinatin' Rhythm." It's amazing how this dancer can repeatedly perform the trickiest, fastest footwork while giving the illusion that time has stood still.
Megan Fairchild and Antonio Carmena were just a lot of fun in Balanchine's brief but delightful Tarantella. It's a tongue-in-cheek homage to Italian folk dance, but the performers not only have to be excellent terre a terre dancers, they have to exude an irrepressible energy. One of my favorite steps is when Fairchild does a plie with her feet wide apart -- the step has a delightful vulgarity. Carmena sailed through the role with all the required aplomb.
Afternoon ended with Stars and Stripes. The ballet has a cheesiness Balanchine often injected into his tributes to his adopted country. But the steps are fiendishly difficult. I have an Erica Pereira problem -- she's repeatedly cast in high-energy allegro roles when she doesn't seem to have either the stamina or skill for those roles. Her performance in the First Campaign was a perfect example -- she actually lagged behind the corps de ballet. Savannah Lowery on the other hand was brash and confident in the Rifle Regiment, and Daniel Ulbricht predictably wowed the house with his series of double turns in the airs and beats in the all-male Third Campaign. Finally, Ashley Bouder and Andrew Veyette were both excellent in the final campaign. Ashley Bouder's Liberty Bell is a modern classic rendition. She's done it so many times that she now plays with the audience a bit -- she no longer just executes the steps with her usual technical wizardry. She now will occasionally slow down the conductor and tilt her head and give a cheeky smile at an opportune time as if to say, "Hee. This is fun." This kind of mugging is unusual in the rather severe climate of the NYCB, but the audience eats it up.
What a wonderful company!

I LOVE YOU HATERS. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DANCE BUT YOU LOVE TRASHING ERICA PEREIRA. IO KNOW HER FAMILY AND I ALSO KNOW HER. SHE HAS DEDICATED HER ENTIRE LIFE TO GETTING WHERE SHE IS AND YOU PEOPLE LOVE TEARING HER DOWN. I GUESS YOU KNOW TALENT WHEN YOU SEE IT. AND I GUESS PETER MARTINS DOES NOT KNOW TALENT. I GUESS THAT IS WHY HE CAST HER AS AN APPRENTICE TO DANCE THE ROLL OF JULIET IN HIS PRODUCTION OF ROMEO AND JULIET. ERICA IS A WONDERFUL DANCER WHO'S ONLY FAULT IS LOOKING 15 YEARS OLD. PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT HER SAY NOTHING. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU AND VIPA ON BALLET ALERT KNOW ABOUT DANCE NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies

I am not trying to be abusive just stating the facts. I have known for some time that there are certain people on ballet alert WHO LOVE BASHING Erica Pereira ever since she and Katy Morgan came up in the company. No matter what Erica and Katy did the bashing was constant towards Erica. These were 2 totally different dancers who would tell you they admired each others skills. But every time they were dancing the bashing was thrown in Erica's direction. NOW THAT Katy is gone due to health issues she had the bashing continues. Enough already as i stated i know the family and i know Erica since she was a little girl. I know the scarifies she and her family have made fro her to get to where she is. And i know these abusive comments made by a few who know nothing about dance and Erica are very hurtful to her and her family. You know she is someones daughter and someones child. So i ask you would you like it if your daughter or son was in the arts and were bashed like this wonderful dancer has been. I think not!!! Enough said like i stated before if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing. You really have no idea how deep the wounds go when you bash someones life long dreams.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have no personal vendetta against Erica Pereira. I just find her dancing to be lacking. This is my private blog, and I can say whatever I want.Delete
- AnonymousMay 6, 2013 at 7:41 PM
What is she lacking in your opinion? I'm sure you have danced yourself to make such a BOLD STATEMENT. Please enlighten meDelete
I think she's miscast. She's a sweet, lyrical dancer and she's repeatedly cast in roles that require a lot of fast demanding allegro footwork and powerful jumps.Delete
- AnonymousMay 6, 2013 at 8:47 PM
Now thats funny have you see her do Tarentella? That requires extremly fast footwork. I have seen her do that many times with Daniel and she nails it every time. As far as her jumps your way off base. She gets more hight out of her jumps than other girls in the company. If you need some pictures from the NYCB collection of some of her jumps let me know I will be glad to email the to you. Also symphony in 3 she had an extremly fast part I am sure if she could not do the foot work Mr Martins would not put her out on the stage.Delete

I was at the performance and I completely agree with you about Erica Pereira. She just doesn't have 'what it takes' for a part like that.ReplyDelete
I believe the part was created on Allegra Kent in 1958, when Kent was 20. She was then a daredevil dancer, not unlike Bouder today. (Check out the Playhouse 90 film of Nutcracker where she dances Dewdrop and you'll see what I mean.) Pereira is simply not in that league. I saw her SPF in 2011 and she was....not good. She is being given every opportunity to develop and I just don't see her as ballerina material.
Agree with you about Abi Stafford.
I thought Megan Fairchild was....OK. But I keep seeing Patty McBride in my mind's eye and maybe that's not fair.
Re: Bouder....I have something of an issue with her and it's not flirting with the audience, which Farrell and McBride did in their heydays. It's that she lacks a mature feminine allure, which Liberty Bell absolutely requires. Perhaps she will develop it - I hope so. I am rooting for her.
It is good to see the company dancing well.
- Longtime NYCB Ballet FanMay 6, 2013 at 8:39 PM
PS to above. I also agree w/you about audience reaction to Peck and Fairchild. I was in tears. What a lovely partnership; I hope it survives their marriage!ReplyDelete
Peck is the best dancer we have right now, I think. She can do it all: jazzy contemporary ballet, classical, romantic.
I would love to see her Giselle.
Thank you NYCB fan. As for Erica's super fan, one more comment and all comments will be moderated from now on.ReplyDelete

Because I am positive you have no idea how hard these kids work to get to where they are. And to think that some audience member who most likely never danced in there entire life at this level gets there jollies knocking these kids is nothing but obnoxious and childish.It's your blog do what you wish.

Anonymous - you are being silly. You love Erica, you are a friend of the family - fine. I'm not. Erica Pereira is a professional dancer and the only thing I can do is judge her for her stage performances. I can assure you I have nothing against her. On the contrary I shelled out good hard earned money to see her SPF and I was disappointed. Her SPF was unauthoritative, wan, and downright unclassical. This part was created on MARIA TALLCHIEF and has been danced by many great ballerinas! It was awful to see, at the NYCB, a performance good enough only for a regional company. Same went for her performance last Saturday. She is not yet ready for the part she danced.ReplyDelete
[Parenthetically to Ivy: that Nutcracker performance with Erica's disappointing SPF also featured Ashley Bouder's Dewdrop - which was radiant and wonderful EXCEPT the final bourrees, which Ashley did with surprising clumsiness. I thought so, anyway. Do you want to accuse me of being an Ashley hater? I didn't think so. Great ballet dancers in a great company have to answer to the highest standards, as do opera singers.]
Back to Anonymous, I have never danced but I do realize how hard dancers work. I admire them all, and I never want to criticize them, but in the the house that Balanchine built nothing less than the best will be tolerated. That's the way Balanchine wanted it.
Erica is a very sweet, pretty dancer and I'm sure there's a lot of things she might be good in (Steadfast Tin Soldier?) but not the parts I saw her in.
- AnonymousMay 7, 2013 at 7:22 PM
Well if you saw her do SPF with Anthony Huxley then i know why she did not dance up to your standards. If you knew as much as you claim you would know Anthony dropped he in 2 nutcracker shows when he was her Cavilar. She was always nervous after that dancing with him. If you had seen Erica and Alan Peiffer do the nutcracker together then you would have seen a GREAT performance. Exactly how they preformed in Romeo and Juliet together. I guess you asls did not see Erica and Taylor Stanley do Romeo and Juliet . THEY WERE OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! And another treat is Erica and Daniel Ulbricht in Tarantella a true treat they are perfect together. I was shocked to see below you ONCE HAD KIND WORDS FOR ERICA ONCE SHOCKED!!!!!!!. By the way i look forward to seeing Erica in River of Light and later in May Tarantella.ReplyDelete
The evening ended with a stunner -- Balanchine's Tchaikovsky Suite No. 3. The ballet was originally of course known as Theme and Variations, but in 1970 Balanchine decided to choreograph the entire Tchaikovsky score, with T&V being the grand finale. The first three movements contrast strongly with the tutu-and-tiara final movement -- in the elegie, waltz, and scherzo, the stage is flooded with women in long dresses and long flowing hair. It's all very over-the-top Romantic, but it kind of isn't Balanchine's best choreography -- too many swoony lunges and dramatic running around the stage for my tastes. It's an example of how strong the NYCB's current roster of women is that I was riveted from start to finish, rather than just waiting for T&V. Teresa Reichlen (Elegie), Rebecca Krohn (Valse Melancholie), and Erica Pereira (Scherzo) all gave outstanding performances, and all three ladies were making their debuts in their roles! I particularly loved Rebecca Krohn's soft, understated style and lovely, pliant back. I wish they'd get rid of that scrim for the first three movements -- depending on where you're sitting in the house, sometimes the dancers look blurry behind the scrim.Replies
So you trash Anthony Huxley to defend Erica? Nice.Delete
- AnonymousMay 9, 2013 at 3:19 AM
Just stating the facts as I know them. I am not trashing Anthony he is a wonderful dancer. But unfortunately it is what it is. He did drop her in 2 different shows. I am done debating with you. Enjoy the spring season at NYCB. I know I will.ReplyDelete

One should not expect any change to come from the U.S. government itself (which includes Congress), whose strategy in such cases is to enact the pretext of "reform" so as to placate public anger, protect the system from any serious weakening, and allow President Obama to go before the country and the world and give a pretty speech about how the U.S. heard their anger and re-calibrated the balance between privacy and security. Any new law that comes from the radically corrupted political class in DC will either be largely empty, or worse. The purpose will be to shield the NSA from real reform.
Encouraging Words of Regret From Dean Baquet and Weasel Words From James Clapper - The Intercept.
This morning, James Clapper finally responded to a request from Senator Ron Wyden concerning the number of such backdoor searches using US identifiers that were done by various government agencies. And, surprisingly, it's redaction free. The big reveal is... that it's not just the NSA doing these searches, but the CIA and FBI as well. This is especially concerning with regards to the FBI. This means that the FBI, who does surveillance on Americans, is spying on Americans communications that were collected by the NSA and that they're doing so without anything resembling a warrant. Oh, and let's make this even worse: the FBI isn't even tracking how often it does this. It's just doing it willy nilly:
FBI, CIA Use Backdoor Searches To Warrentlessly Spy On Americans' Communications | Techdirt.
Facebook announced Thursday it's been pushing back against a bulk set of search warrants requesting private data from its user accounts since last summer.
In a blog post, the social media network announced a court in New York requested personal data for 381 users, including photos and private messages. The company argued the request was unconstitutional, but the courts prevailed and the information was turned over.
This information is just coming to light now as Facebook filed an appellate brief Friday in an attempt to force the government to return the data it had seized and retained. Facebook says the government responded by moving to unseal the warrants and all court proceedings, allowing the company to notify the users their information had been taken.

Torture is mainly used against terror suspects and during war
Amnesty International research shows that torture and other ill-treatment continue to be an issue in many countries facing real or perceived national security threats, including terrorism.
However, the focus on torture and other ill-treatment in what the US authorities then called the "war on terror" at the beginning of the century may have skewed the global picture. What our research also clearly shows is that most victims of torture and other ill-treatment worldwide are not dangerous terrorists but rather poor, marginalized and disempowered criminal suspects who unfortunately seldom draw the attention of the media and public opinion, either nationally or globally.
International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is observed each year on June 26, the day in 1984 when the United Nations Convention Against Torture was signed. This treaty, which the United States has signed and ratified, bans torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. The phrase "victims of torture" and the word "international" raise images of brutal regimes around the world, or of survivors of torture who have fled these regimes to come to our country for sanctuary and asylum. We Americans like to think of our nation as the "shining city on a hill," as a protector of human rights, a beacon for the rest of the world. The reality, however, is that widespread torture is happening today in our own country, especially in state and federal prisons and detention facilities.
Torture in US Prisons: What 'OITNB' Hasn't Told You | Rev. Ron Stief.
Investigative reporter Glenn Greenwald (shown) has promised to name victims of NSA warrantless surveillance, calling such an expose "imminent" in an interview with Fox News. Such an exposé may prove to be a game-changer in congressional and public debate on granting the NSA unconstitutional warrantless surveillance powers.
Greenwald has been the primary recipient of information about the once-secret NSA programs revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Greenwald toldShepard Smith of Fox News that his next revelations will involve naming names about how NSA surveillance has strayed from merely going after terrorists to engaging in politics:
Edward Snowden is still waiting to hear if he'll get a presidential pardon.
He probably won't get one after embarrassing President Barack Obama with revelations of massive U.S. government surveillance programs, but 100,000 of the exiled whistle-blower's fans nonetheless earned the proposal an official White House response on June 24, 2013.
They did so by signing a whitehouse.gov petition that quickly cleared the six-figure threshold for feedback.
"Edward Snowden is a national hero and should be immediately issued … a full, free, and absolute pardon," the petition said.

On July 1, 2004, NASA's Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn, marking the end of the spacecraft's nearly seven-year journey through the solar system as well as the beginning of its tour of Saturn, its rings, moons and magnetosphere.
This image, taken on June 30, 2004 during Cassini's orbital insertion at Saturn, shows, from left to right, the outer portion of the C ring and inner portion of the B ring. The B ring begins a little more than halfway across the image. The general pattern is from "dirty" particles indicated by red to cleaner ice particles shown in turquoise in the outer parts of the rings.
The ring system begins from the inside out with the D, C, B and A rings followed by the F, G and E rings. This image was taken with the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph instrument, which is capable of resolving the rings to show features up to 97 kilometers (60 miles) across, roughly 100 times the resolution of ultraviolet data obtained by the Voyager 2 spacecraft.

Abuse and Alcoholism, as well as selected private organizations, DOJ in 2004 convened the Federal Collaboration on What Works, which spawned a working group whose early efforts focused on the development of a framework for assessing the evidence for program effectiveness. This Hierarchical Classification Framework for Program Effectiveness is intended to be applied initially to programs relevant to the mission of the Office of Justice Programs (i.e., primarily prevention, intervention, supervision, and treatment of drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, and adult crime), but the working group has identified it as potentially contributing to the development of a common standard of program effectiveness for use throughout the federal government (Department of Justice, 2005).
The Campbell Collaboration
Created in 2000 as a sibling of the Cochrane Collaboration, the Campbell Collaboration conducts systematic reviews of evidence in the fields of education, criminal justice, and social welfare. Its systematic reviews are carried out in accordance with explicit review protocols published in the Campbell Database of Systematic Reviews and are subject to comment and criticisms from users of that database. As of March 1, 2005, seven completed systemic reviews were listed on its website, along with an additional 35 registered titles or protocols for forthcoming reviews. Because the education, criminal justice, and social welfare systems play key roles in the funding and delivery of M/SU treatment services, there is some expected overlap between Cochrane and Campbell reviews, and seven completed Campbell reviews are also registered as Cochrane reviews. To address this overlap, the Cochrane and Campbell Collaborations are pursuing coordination of their activities, including joint registration of methods groups, as well as links with other conveners and members of Cochrane and Campbell methods groups and with the steering group representatives of both organizations* (The Campbell Collaboration, undated).

After a crazy and exciting tournament run, the 2013-2014 Kentucky Wildcats had some decisions to make. Eight players from the team had a chance to declare for the 2104 NBA Draft and forego their remaining eligibility. The decisions came in one at a time, and slowly came to a close with the announcement of Aaron and Andrew Harrison. When all of this dust settled, the Kentucky Wildcats only lost Julius Randle and James Young, something that had long been expected for both players. Now, in preparing for the next step in their basketball careers, both former Kentucky Wildcats were invited to and will participate in the 2014 NBA Draft Combine in hopes of showcasing their abilities and improving their draft stock one last time.
Both players should be able to shine in this yearly event, as they had to hold back some of their strengths for the sake of the team throughout the year. Julius Randle spent the majority of his time in the low post for John Calipari this past season. However, he showed flashes of above average driving ability and a jump shot that can be molded into a real threat. James Young was primarily a three-point shooter for Coach Cal, but showed throughout the year that he can be an excellent driver, something that is taylor-made for the NBA. If both of the former Wildcats can showcase what they sacrificed for the team during the season, then they will no doubt raise some eyebrows…and potentially their draft stock.
Julius Randle is projected to go fourth overall by draftnet and fifth overall by express. By the same two services, James Young is projected go eleventh and fifteenth overall respectively. A solid showing in front of the NBA executives and scouts at the 60-person combine event could do wonders for their draft stocks. In fact, James Young could show enough to warrant a top-10 pick if he is able to stay consistent and perform at a high level throughout the event. Randle, unless something drastic happens, will be a top-5 pick regardless of what happens at the combine. It's simply a matter, for him, of how much money he is going to be guaranteed. Either way, look for both players to show off what they couldn't during the season. And watch the 2014 NBA Draft to hear both of their names called as they walk across the stage.

hopefully sooner than later! 2 days wasn't enough time.
Sleeping while sitting up, something about the way the rain sounds against the window, and the sun stretches through the curtains, the responsibility that lingers, and the hope for getting [back] out into that big, germ-filled world has me feeling like a child. I've been in bed for too many days and the woozy has me dreaming of nonsense, and writing poetry. Clarity returns to me as quickly as it left. And he is leaving. He has to leave me here. My loving caretaker must get on the road to Arcade Fire land. It seems that a lack of health is more confining than a desk job.

A Big Easy Transformation
I watched an episode today of Desperate Landscapes, A Big Easy Transformation. Can anybody tell me what the name of the green and white plant with a splash of red is called? It was used along the wrought iron fence line and lined the front of the flower bed next to the house.
May 05, 2013, 05:29 PM
I didn't see this episode but if you can describe the plant, it might be easier to determine what it is.
What was the height? Is it a bush? What kind of leaves did it have? I.e., long, pointed, short, rounded?
Offhand it sounds like a bromeliad, but I'm not sure if they're outdoor plants in NO. Here in the North, they're only indoor plants.
Apr 12, 2014, 09:18 PM
I have drove myself crazy looking for the same plant. It looks like a hosts plant with red in it. It starts with an s, I'll let you know if I figure it out!
Apr 13, 2014, 08:56 AM
The plant is called Stromanthe.

Requests are always open but that'll ONLY get you a sketch! If you want something more then go ahead and commission me! c:
Lineart - $10 [ x | x | x | x ]
(May not necessarily come colored)
(You must specify which design you would like)
Group / Couples: [ x ]
Lineart: $5 per additional char.
CG: $15 per additional char.
Background Addons - $15 [ x ] (Otherwise all images will come with a black or white background. The price also increases depending on the complexity of the background)
Payment will only be accepted through PayPal. I require half (or a quarter) of the payment upfront (which is non-refundable UNLESS I am unable to complete your request. This is to protect me in case you decide to not contact me anymore).
In order to get the full version of your commission, you will be required to send the second half to the payment otherwise you will only receive a small, watermarked version. I am also allowed to use art I create for you for self promotion.
In return, I will keep in contact with you on the status of your commission and show you progression pieces if it is a large piece. Otherwise you will gain updates on each stage (sketch, line art, digital coloring) so that you can change or approve of anything done. I like to frequently communicate to my commissioners because I want them to get their monies worth.
A finished piece can typically take one to three days depending on my work load.
You can send me an ask on Tumblr or contact me through deviantart (Tumblrs quicker though).
A large commission that took me over a year to complete simply because I had to design each character, and basically build from the ground up. The commissioner was wonderful to me and I kept in communication as much as I could. He stuck with me 'tll the end even though I had a bunch of ups and downs (computer failure, re-doing major mistakes I made such as scrapping the background twice after completing it (none of which I charged since it was my fault). It was an utter joy to have him as a commissioner and I wish many others were like him.
"When I saw the preview of the final image, I started to cry. The final art was more than I had even hoped for, and my heart was thrilled to see a dream come true, thanks to Alex." - Allen
"Throughout this commission I found Alex to be intelligent, creative, insightful, respectful, professional and polite. Her skills are impeccable, her talent is immense, and her demeanor is one that would be any manager's dream. In my 20 year IT career (of all levels) I have worked for many personalities and managed many personalities in my subordinates, and I can honestly say that Alex [x] was a pleasure to work with.

Frost & Sullivan Award Reaffirms Fundamo's Technology Leadership of South African Smart Card Market
Fundamo has extended mobile banking into Africa and other international markets
LONDON, September 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2006 Frost & Sullivan Technology Leadership Award in the South African smart card market has been conferred on the South African mobile banking and transactions solutions company, Fundamo. The company's progressive solutions have enabled organisations to provide much needed mobile banking services across Africa and to international markets such as the Middle East, Latin America and the Asia Pacific. These countries, like South Africa have have limited access to banking services and often have a high growth potential. The award recognises Fundamo's innovative products, exceptional service support and overall technical excellence.
A global leader in the provision of these mobile banking services, Fundamo has very few competitors, partly because it offers an enabling service and unlike some of its closest competitors, is not seeking to compete with banks. A key contributor to Fundamo's success is the extensive set of best practices they offer to assist clients with the full project lifecycle to ensure successful business delivery. Success on these projects relies on more than reliable technology, it relies on a holistic approach which includes everything from business modelling and product design to the operations management in the long-term.
"Their products have extended the prospect of mobile banking to a larger number of South Africans and are enabling emerging markets in Africa and abroad to be amongst the most innovative when it comes to mobile banking," observes Frost & Sullivan Smart Card Analyst Lindsey McDonald. "Moreover, the time to market these products has been reduced because of the provision of high quality service support."
The company's comprehensive product range includes mobile solutions for corporates as well as more specific mobile banking and transactional solutions for individuals. While businesses are catered for through the provision of services such as airtime vending, bill collecting, business mobile banking and delivery payments, product offerings for individuals include services such as mobile banking, person-to-person payments, prepaid airtime purchases, bill payments and mobile authentication amongst others.
"Fundamo is distinguished by its ability to offer specific solutions as well as additional enablers that add value to its existing mainstream solutions and thereby allow clients to accomplish more," notes Ms. McDonald. "Clients are further supported by strong professional services that aid in the effective implementation of the company's solutions."
For instance, Fundamo provides additional channels that allows for the support of a variety of mobile technologies. Another example is multiple account support, which permits Fundamo's clients to operate more than one transactional account per customer. These enablers allow clients to provide additional services such as card issuing, transactional accounts and supplementary facilities such as shared platform support and reporting databases.
Technology excellence has underpinned the company's success. Its solutions can be deployed alongside various mobile technologies such as short message service (SMS),USSD, SIM Browser and interactive voice response (IVR) among others. Outstanding technical service support covers areas such as project management, product, technical and process specifications, technical installation, integration services, technical and business training and most importantly -product customisation to suit client needs.

Well after almost two years, today is my last day working in education. As of September I will be on the other side receiving an education studying Software Engineering at UCLan.
I personally can't wait as at 22 I feel I've put it off long enough. Working in IT in education has been an experience and a half and I have so much respect for all of you who have been in the game for a long time.
I'll remain active on here (not that I post that much any way) as I enjoy the banter, and it's one of my main sources for IT related news.
(plus I love the buzz of the once or twice in all this time I've managed to help someone with a problem haha).

The Charles Krug Winery was established in 1861 as the first winery in the Napa Valley by Prussian-born visionary and revolutionary Charles Krug. Today the winery focuses on handcrafted Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varieties grown within with Napa Valley appellations and sub-appellations. The winery remains under the stewardship of the Peter Mondavi Sr Family, who purchased the historic winery in 1943. Peter Mondavi Sr remains at the helm of the winery, with day-to-day operations handled by his two sons Marc and Peter Jr.
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Notes on jerseys, pitching, and David Wright
A few notes before the Mets face the Marlins at 7:10 p.m.:
-- On Thursday, the Mets debuted their new alternative orange-brimmed caps. On Friday, they broke out their new blue jerseys.
-- Entering play on Friday, Mets pitchers have posted a 2.00 ERA, which ranks in the top five in baseball:
Nationals 0.33
White Sox 1.00
Dodgers 1.33
Giants 1.73
Mets/Pirates/Twins 2.00
The Nats have the Marlins to thank for topping the list. Miami scored just one run in three games against Washington. Justin Ruggiano's solo shot is the only reason that the Marlins avoided becoming the first team to be shut out in each of its first three games.
-- David Wright may be fresh off an intercostal strain that sidelined him late in camp. Nevertheless, manager Terry Collins said he doesn't feel the need to monitor Wright's playing time. The third baseman likely won't get any extra days off on account of his previous intercostal injury.

Jahii Carson on freshman of the year watch list
Arizona State point guard and freshman sensation Jahii Carson has been nominated by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association to its 2013 Integris Wayman Tisdale Award Midseason Watch List.
Twelve of the nation's top first-year players in contention for the national freshman of the year award make up the list, as chosen by the association's board of directors.
Through 20 games, Carson leads all NCAA freshmen in free throws made (91) and free throws attempted (127), is second in minutes per game (36.5), third in assists (5.5) and fourth in scoring with 17.3 PPG. In his past five games Carson has averaged 19 points per game with 5.6 assists.
Carson's 36.5 minutes per game top the Pac-12 and are on pace to set a freshman record at ASU. Only Harvard freshman Siyani Chambers is averaging more with 37.7 minutes per game.
The award's recipient will be honored on April 15 at the Devon Energy College Basketball Awards in Oklahoma City along with the winners of The Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Henry Iba Coach of the year Award at the annual gala held the Monday following the NCAA Men's Final Four.
The other 11 players in contention for the award are: Kyle Anderson, UCLA; Isaiah Austin, Baylor; Anthony Bennett, UNLV; Yogi Ferrell, Indiana; Ben McLemore, Kansas; Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA; Nerlens Noel, Kentucky; Glenn Robinson III, Michigan; Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State; and Nik Stauskas, Michigan.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued more stringent guidelines for how healthcare workers should interact with Ebola patients, following an outcry from nurses and other professionals.
It's not hard to see why the Ebola outbreak has so many of us on edge. It's sort of like the proverbial monster under the bed. Except this time, the monster is no figment of our imagination. And now it appears ready to pounce on us.
The Obama administration has unveiled a national strategy to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It includes an executive order to direct the federal government to "reduce the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and to help ensure the continued availability of effective treatments for bacterial infections."
Long-term care workers continued to have low rates of flu vaccination last season, despite there being 92% vaccination coverage overall among physicians and nurses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The agency also said seniors should receive two doses of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
It all started with a gathering. My family had lost a loved one. Some of us flew, others drove but whatever it took, we came together to celebrate the life of our loved one. Within 48 hours after the service, the texts started flying. Seven of us were ill, feeling like we were going to die. Two of us ended up at the hospital. The two who were seen at the hospital were positive for norovirus. The rest of us knew that we were right there with the others. Norovirus had claimed victory over our bodies.
A new index that will help track and control antibiotic resistance in healthcare facilities will be released in July, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
High incontinence rates among nursing home residents create emotional and financial burdens, according to a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Wednesday.
I was recently watching one of the news channels and they talked about a study that was conducted that showed that men who performed tai chi exercises lived longer. While I'm not a male, sign me up!
Long-term care facilities are by far the most common settings for norovirus outbreaks, dwarfing the number of outbreaks in hospitals, according to government data released Tuesday.
CDC includes nursing home occupancy info in annual report ... People can enroll their computers in the fight against Alzheimer's ... Heart patients' socioeconomic status does not influence risk of hospital readmission
Antibiotic resistance and prescription drug abuse are among the top global threats expected in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Long-term care providers can refer to a newly launched website to access information and resources to prevent infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday.
Clorox Healthcare has released a flu prevention toolkit. It includes prevention tips, information on the cost of outbreaks and key findings from infection control experts.
What do neck abnormalities, dangerous bacteria, a murder-suicide, a defensive nursing home chain, and antipsychotic guidelines have in common? These five developments were voted the most popular news stories appearing on the McKnight's website during 2013.
Nursing homes still account for the vast majority of long-term care services available in the United States despite policies meant to encourage home- and community-based care, according to a new government report. The first-ever "National Study of Long-Term Care Providers" includes data on the capacity and operational characteristics of providers, and information about the people cared for in these settings.
It has been said the rear view mirror offers little help when trying to navigate the road ahead. But it's tough to know where to go if you don't know where you've been — or even where you are.
Particular kinds of antibiotics are effective in eliminating colonies of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in asymptomatic carriers of the deadly bacteria, according to newly published research.
Long-term care workers are more likely to be vaccinated for the flu if they believe it protects the health of people around them, according to survey data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Internet Panel Surveys for the 2011-2012 flu season questioned long-term care workers about their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs regarding vaccination.
GlaxoSmithKline said it has received Food and Drug Administration approval to start shipping the 2013-2014 influenza virus vaccine to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention distribution centers and healthcare providers.
For any way you slice it, too many of us are lugging around excessive weight. And the problem is only getting worse. In 1962, the nation's obesity rate was 13%. It now stands at 35.7%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As growth industries go, this one needs to be downsized.
Seniors in the United States are meeting most health targets, but many are still not being vaccinated for the potentially fatal conditions of influenza and pneumonia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When providers consider the challenges residents face, it's usually within the context of activity of daily living limits. Things like trouble with walking, dressing, bathing and eating tend to be top of mind. With mental conditions, Alzheimer's considerations dominate. But a phenomenon that fuels both physical and mental decline often flies under the radar.
Requiring employees to receive flu shots is not a primary source of them quitting their job, a four-year analysis finds.
The occupancy rate for nursing homes was steady at 82% between 2000 and 2011, according to the most recent national health report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of Medicare-certified SNFs increased between 2000 and 2010.
The senior citizen population is on the rise in the Southwest. Unfortunately, so is a frightening illness: valley fever.
I was sympathetic when the Partnership for Sustainable Health Care called for a speedier shift away from fee-for-service last week — and I also thought about Purell. Yes, that Purell.
Caregivers involved in the annual battle against influenza outbreaks will get an advance peek in a webinar Tuesday at what vaccine options for the 2013-14 flu season will be. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases will preview the possibilities. The webcast will begin at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. The presentation will include a review of vaccine effectiveness for the 2012-13 campaign.
Elderly white women still make up the majority of the oldest nursing home residents, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although other researchers have found the number of white residents is on the decline.
Providers must act to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria killing about half of all people who become infected, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention said in March.
A lethal type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is on the rise in acute and long-term care facilities, and providers must act to prevent the spread of these germs that kill about half of all people who become infected, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention announced Tuesday.

Any news? I've got my DHCPv6-PD setup ready to switch over from the HE.net tunnel.--If you can't open it, you don't own it.
So, how will this work for people who host multiplayer games for games made in the 90s?There will not be any patch for those games, ever, because everyone aside from a few dedicated 'retro' gamers will have moved on to the latest and greatest games already.Will I have to rely upon my paid VPN service to connect between remote hosts such as with hosting multiplayer games that require an IP to connect to?I can do that, if I need to, because they allow it in technical form (e.g. they aren't preventing it from working).
There are already work arounds out for those older games. Usually involve a matching service (think Gamespy or the likes). These services, depending upon which one, can also link games across the internet in LAN mode too.

analysis to the present. Disaggregated estimates of R&D funding, over time, are then constructed and presented. The proposition that much R&D activity has migrated out of computer hardware production and into semiconductor production is measured against available data. A final section produces a net assessment of recent trends, summarizes recent proposals that address these trends, and offers some concluding observations on the problems that these proposals are likely to encounter.
The United States government has been an important patron of information technology research throughout its history, beginning with the development of the first electronic digital computers during the Second World War, and continuing up through the present.3 Much has changed since the birth of this technology in the 1940s, however, and in the last several years prominent voices have articulated new concerns over changing relationships between government, industry, and information technology research. This paper surveys available empirical data on computer research activity with an eye to the legitimacy of these worries. Before examining the present, we briefly survey the past.
In the first decade after the war, most significant computer research and development projects in the United States depended—directly or indirectly—on funding from the United States government, mainly from the U.S. military. The second decade of the computer, from the mid-1950s through the mid-1960s, saw rapid growth in commercial applications and utilization of computers. By the mid-1960s, business applications accounted for a vastly larger share of computer use. However, the government continued to dominate the market for high-performance computers, and government-funded technology projects pushed much of the continuing advance at the frontiers of information technology over this period.
From the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s, continued growth in commercial applications of vastly cheaper computing power exploded. By the middle of the decade of the seventies, the commercial market had become the dominant force driving the technological development of the U.S. computer industry. The government role, increasingly, was focused on the very high-end, most advanced computers, in funding basic research, and in bankrolling long-term/leading-edge technology projects.
From the mid-1970s to the beginning of the 1990s, the commercial market continued to balloon in size relative to government markets for computers, leav-

Ill try :)
The Tumblr is now FINALLY being updated. Sorry about the wait (:
He saved me. I'm staying strong for him, even if it is hard. I can't imagine my life without him. He's my everything and I owe him EVERYTHING. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!<3
#Dear Justin,
So my struggles started when I was about 6-7 years old. I've always had a speech disorder called: "stuttering" To the average person it seems like just a repetition of words, but to people who have gone through this for years it's something more than that, way more. I always thought that my stutter was something that could never go away. Stuttering is not an easy thing to deal with. Every single day is a new battle, just to speak. When I get asked to read in my English/Irish/French class I freeze, people stare and sometimes they laugh. The feeling is horrible and I feel as if everything in my entire life has gone wrong.
Growing up, I felt isolated from everything really. In school I felt like an "outcast" someone who was "different". All my life I NEVER felt normal. I wouldn't even want to answer simple questions in class and this may sound stupid but even saying my name is a huge struggle. I was always insecure about myself, I thought that people would label me "dumb, stupid, stutterer" etc. Even my own mum thought that I was stuttering for attention.She thought that it was something I was doing on purpose and something that I could suddenly just stop. I obviously wasn't stuttering for attention and hearing her say that broke my heart.
I always wanted to end a conversation quickly or make up excuses like "Oh, I don't know..sorry" etc. It got really hard for me when I moved schools, just being surrounded by new people. Some of my classmates would point out my flaws and that frightened me. People tease me for something I can't even control and the feeling is just terrible. I was embarrassed about my speech and I always tried to hide the fact that I did stutter…I was attempting to me a 'covert' stutterer.
Sometimes I feel like a bird with broken wings, no matter how much I want to fly I can't, it's a constant struggle to get up when I've fallen down.
And then my parent's divorced. I don't live with my father anymore. Hearing them argue and fight almost all the time made me feel like crap absolute crap, especially when it was on my own birthday. And to top it all off I had bulimia.
I never thought I looks beautiful. I always thought I was 'fat', so I started to purge.
And that's where Justin comes in. I felt like my whole life had gone downhill, I was just really unhappy with my life. I know it may sound stupid "Oh wow she just stutters so what?" But when you stutter you feel like nothing in your life is right. You over think and it makes the situation 100x worse. I've gone to a therapist for my speech disorder and nothing worked out.
Hearing Justin's music made me feel better. After hearing his song "Down to Earth" I was left in tears, it's crazy how a kid who doesn't even know me can have such a huge impact on my life and I can't thank him enough. His song "Never Say Never" made me realize that one day I'll get through this and that one day everything will be okay.
Thank you Justin for making me smile even when I felt down. I can't thank you enough and one day I hope I'll be able to say this in front of your face.
When Justin tweets things like "Stay strong, I'm there with u", I always feel like bursting into tears. He makes me feel better when nobody else can.
"Stuttering can be a horrendous experience. It's as if you are robbed of your voice and silenced forever. You feel as though you are alienated from others at social functions and feel completely alone. Even when you have something valuable to say or want to put forward your own opinion about a particular matter, this insidious disease prevents you from fully expressing yourself."
Demi Lovato also makes me smile- She makes me love
who I am and because of her, I'm proud of who I am.
If you're a stutterer and you're reading this, please never give up. Soon you'll be able to live a life of freedom wherever you go, don't let a speech disorder hold you back.
God Bless and thanks for reading.

If Beliebers want it to be big then yes. Beliebers make this happen. No Belieber power? Not a single letter gets to Justin. ♥
Well, i have been selfharming for two years and stopped for a good while, which i was so happy about, then… Last novemeber my mum had a heartattack, and i went back to selfharm. I mostly cutting myself. I cant wear short sleeved tops because of my cuts and scars, and i can't were shorts because of the cuts and scars on my legs.. Do you have any idea how i can stop :(?
First of all, you should talk to your mom. As scary and as crazy as it may seem you should talk to her about how you feel. Second of all, and most importantly, you N E E D to stop. Harming yourself doesn't help the problem. It makes it worse. And if you think you need help, get help.

SSure thing :)
I have no idea. Just never saying never :)

"I love wearing one bangle — it feels just a little more polished, and sounds a lot less jangly. I have one from Miansai that I wear almost every day." - Jayna Maleri, Senior Fashion Writer
Pondering The Rise of Bangle and Bracelet Stacks
Contributing Digital Editor
It's been quite a while since Leandra Medine, creator of ManRepeller.com, popularized (and trademarked) her world-famous "arm party" style of bangle stacking. It's a simple practice of ladening your arms with as many pieces of jewelry as possible—watches, bangles, dainty chains, friendship bracelets, rubber bands, whatever you can find. Like most trends in fashion, it's polarizing. Having seen and heard many arguments on both sides, we thought it time to ask our editors if they prefer a full-blown arm party or a party of one.

Overcoming Temptation
Sermon shared by Stephan Brown
September 2001
Summary: Shows the fallacies about temptation that often cause believers to succumb to it, demonstrating the total victory that we can find in Jesus Christ.

Temptation is a fact of life for all of us. As we know, even Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. So, the question arises, why are some people able to withstand the temptations while others are not? Why do some people come through temptation unscathed while others are completely ruined by temptation?
Now, I feel compelled to mention that temptation isn�t just a miniature devil whispering in your ear, �Do this. Do this. Don�t do that. Don�t do that.� Oftentimes, our temptations are simply derived from the circumstances of life.�
Let�s look at an example. Many times people who are believers have a tragedy in their families. It is often someone dying at a young age, or of an especially horrible disease. The temptation in the circumstance is to blame, and even resent, God because of what has happened. And many people do end up hating God after such tragic events. Countless others, however, rely on God for strength in these trialsome temptations and come out with an even stronger love for God. Why is it that some people can make it all the way, while others cannot? What is the secret?
In order to understand this issue more fully, it will help to look at three fallacies about temptation that the Bible addresses. I would suggest that those who fall, do so because they have bought into one (or more) of these lies. Those who make it all the way with Jesus are the ones who cling to the truth, because they recognize and reject these lies when they come. These lies are addressed by Paul in
1 Corinthians 10:13, �But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you cannot stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.�
Lie #1: NO ONE ELSE GOES THROUGH WHAT I�M GOING THROUGH
I actually heard of a pastor one time who was caught having adulterous affairs with several of his church members. Instead of repenting, as he should have, he explained to the church that his actions were excusable because his drive was much greater than that of normal men. So instead of voting to kick him out, they should have compassion on him because of his special condition. Thankfully, the church didn�t buy the same lie this pastor did. There is NO SUCH THING as �special cases� when it comes to sin. There are no people who are excused from sin, because they have more or different temptation than others. 1 Cor. 10:13 says, �But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience.�
Satan would love to convince you that you are alone in your temptation and alone in your trials for at least two reasons.
A. Some people attempt to justify their sin because of their special circumstances, as the pastor I told you about. Not only is this destructive because it leads a person into sinning instead of resisting temptation, but it is also destructive, because if someone doesn�t think they�re guilty they won�t confess, and as John says in 1 John 1:9, �But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.�
I don�t believe that a single unconfessed sin will send a believer straight to hell. But, by this person not confessing their sin, they are destroying their relationship with

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
OK this sounds screwy but if someone has the equipment, can you test and let
us all know please?
A PDA I was working on that had to be Activesync'd to one computer had the
PDA name "John" rather than the standard name that comes with the PDA.
Another PDA was already working Activesync. Both were over bluetooth
encrypted. The other one was named "Cheryl" just for info's sake.
Anyway, "John" was a new PDA of exactly the same make and model as "Cheryl"
(Mortein syndrome) but what I didn't know and didn't look for, initially,
was that the computer had been set up by someone else to ONLY allow
connections from "Cheryl" and no other device and it was set in "non
discovery" mode, that is, no other bluetooth device supposed to be able to
find it. When I set John up, it autosync'd for 24 hours and stopped syncing
again. I went back and did a thorough look and found that "Cheryl" was the
only one allowed to connect bluetooth to the computer but "John" had,
So this makes me wonder - and this is what I am asking help with - is it
possible that bluetooth pairing, connection in total and autosync are all at
risk if the same model PDA is used even though they are set up with
different PDA names and even if settings are correct and are NOT supposed to
allow connection from anything else? If it is, this is a worry.
Of course, the alternative is that I stuffed something up, I know but for
the life of me, I cant see what it is. If data is encrypted and only paired
devices that are NAMED are allowed to connect, I would have thought that
meant I shouldn't have been able to set the other PDA up but I did.
Thanks for any info/help.

Hey Nonny Nonny Lyrics - Violent Femmes
Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
the winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
my wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
but better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination
seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion
but e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping
so I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
say man are you down for doing something positive in the community?
no i don't think I'll ever do that again
well ain't you worried about doing the right thing?
well I don't care if I hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonny

EDMONTON - A single cigarette was the cause of Monday morning's condo fire in west Edmonton, an Edmonton fire inspector said.
Daryl Brennan, chief of investigations with Edmonton's Fire Rescue Services, said the cause of the fire at Park Place South Hamptons condo complex was traced back to a cigarette in a planter pot in a condo unit.
"Sometimes there's compounds and other combustible materials within the planting soil," said Brennan. "It heats for a long time, it insulates itself and eventually it breaks out into open flames."
Approximately 400 people were evacuated from the four-storey condo on Hammond Gate, off 199th Street and Lessard Road, when a fire engulfed the top floor at 1:30 a.m. Brennan said it would be at least a week before residents can return to their suites to assess the damage.
"People have to be patient. It's unfortunate that they are in this circumstance, but they need to have patience and just give it time, give them an opportunity to do things," he said. "People will make appointments and they will be given a certain amount of time to go in, gather some of their materials, gather some pictures, the information they need for their insurance."
As for moving back into the building, Brennan said he could not give a precise timeline for how long that would take.
"It's going to be an extended period of time. They are going to have to make assessment and there are safety concerns. Until those issues can be addressed and getting the building back to a buildable state, it's going to be quite a while."
A few hundred people attended a meeting at River West Christian Church Tuesday evening to get answers about the damage, insurance coverage and processes, getting access to their vehicles and property, and some sense of when they might be able to move home. A number of people left early, some in tears.
Dennis Begoray, a condo board member, said engineers went through the building and 20 of 186 suites had been entirely destroyed.
"Twenty were destroyed, but there's going to be a very large number of units affected," Begoray said. Residents have been staying with family, friends and in hotels, he said.
David Morin, who rents a suite in the building, said he went to the building Tuesday morning and was told there was three feet of water in the parkade, where his girlfriend's car was parked.
Damage estimates have been pegged at $7 or $8 million and could rise as the investigation goes on.
Residents who attended Tuesday's meeting said they were told the extent of the damages depended on where the suites are located.
Luis Elizabeth, who lives in the south wing of the complex, said he was told it would be another two to three months before he could move back in, but people in the north wing were told it would be between one to two years before they could move back.
Morin said his apartment in the north wing of the building and he was told he would have to move to a new apartment.
"They said roofs are falling in on some of the suits down below because there was so much water," Morin said. "At the far end of the north wing, there's so many of those suits that didn't get affected, but they have to move because of the construction that is going to go on in there and because they only have one elevator."
Roger Pushakj, a renter who expects his unit to have water damage, said presenters at the meeting told residents that toilets were backed up in the building and sewage was coming up in a number of units.
Elizabeth said there were many residents at the meeting who indicated that they didn't have insurance for their properties or suites.
He said was not sure how many people at the meeting were not covered, but that "it looked like a lot."
Some residents expressed concerns about pets that were missing or still stuck inside the units; Elizabeth said they were told they would be able to get into the suites to retrieve their pets Wednesday or Thursday.
Lalenya Gasse said she left her leopard gecko inside her suite when she went out Sunday night with friends.
"There's no power, so he has no heat," Gasse said. "He's a desert animal, so he needs heat to survive, so I'm hoping that the hot weather is going to be enough to heat the room."
Gasse, with teary eyes, said she was very irritated that 400 people were displaced, and many homes destroyed because of one person's "bad habit."
