From grandmother to son to grandson, a passion for winemaking has inspired three generations of the Flageul family to implement new processes and techniques to improve winemaking and produce the highest-quality wines. In 2000, a new wine cellar was built to house state-of-the-art stainless steel vats (capacity 3300 hectoliters) and the barrel chai was rehauled to include precise temperature and humidity control systems for its 600 barrels. The year 2000 also saw the inauguration of a tasting room overlooking Chateau Brillettes breathtaking expanse of vines. View all Chateau Brillette Wines
About MedocView a map of Medoc wineries (MEH-dok)
Médoc is the region that encompasses the smaller appellations of Pauillac, Margaux, St.-Estèphe & St.-Julien. As a larger appellation, it contains many chateaux that are the same style of the smaller appellations, but at a smaller price. There are two regions of the Médoc – the Bas Médoc (or lower-Médoc) and the Haut Médoc (or upper-Médoc) – so given the names as the Bas Médoc is lower elevation (yet northern) and the Haut Médoc is higher elevation (but south of Bas Médoc). Most quality wines come from the Haut Médoc, although many wines carry just the appellation Médoc.
Notable FactsSituated in the Haut-Médoc, west of the river are the communes Listrac & Moulis. Between these two appellations and the river lie many Médoc chateaux producing delicious, Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, often at a good value. Wines of the Médoc and Haut-Médoc appellation are less expensive, yet delicious, ways to experience the left bank of Bordeaux. Most are not as complex or age-worthy as those wines from the smaller communes along the riverbank, but many are great everyday wines, particularly suited for enjoying with food.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Re: WWE Heroes
Thanks, really appreciated. I know the results are the same but there are a few differences. I could have done quick results but I just felt like writing it

Elimination Chamber News
Huge news for the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. For the first time ever, the Elimination Chamber will be made up of three RAW superstars and three Smackdown superstars. The winner of the chamber will go on to Wrestlemania 27 to challenge for a World Title. The Mysterious RAW General Manager has made it clear to WWE.com that on Monday will reveal the three superstars that will represent RAW, all of whom will be selected from the Beat-The-Clock Challenge.
Beat-The-Clock Challenge
There will be five Beat-The-Clock Challenges for Monday Night RAW. The superstar with the fastest win will go on to the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to challenge The Miz for the WWE Championship. The next three fastest times will go represent RAW at the Elimination Chamber and receive a chance to compete at Wrestlemania 27 for a World Title. The winner with the slowest time will receive nothing. Its all about speed on Monday.
'The Anvilette' vs. 'The Glamazon'
Last night, Beth Phoenix won a Fatal Four-Way to win the Divas Championship from her long time friend, Natalya. The problem: Phoenix picked up the pinfall victory on Layla only because the referee failed to notice Michelle McCool tapping out to Natalya's Sharpshooter. On RAW Natalya is calling for her rematch. What will happen when two of the strongest Divas in the WWE compete for championship gold?

Royal Rumble Celebration
Alberto Del Rio has organized the biggest party of the year to celebrate his Royal Rumble win on Sunday. Though he was in the ring for a very short of time and is the first Rumble winner to never make an elimination, Alberto Del Rio will still receive a World Title shot at Wrestlemania 27, and thats plenty reason to celebrate. Will we hear which title he will choose to compete against?
Elimination Chamber News
Huge news for the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. For the first time ever, the Elimination Chamber will be made up of three RAW superstars and three Smackdown superstars.

A Fatal Four-Way between four former world champions will decide the first entry into the match. The Big Show, Kane, Jack Swagger, and Rey Mysterio will battle it out for a chance to enter Satan's Structure. Over this past year, all four superstars have had their fair share of experience with one another.
The biggest Gauntlet Match in Smackdown history has been organized when eight Smackdown superstars will compete to be the last man standing. The final remaining superstar will join the winner of the Fatal Four-Way Match. Theodore Long has yet to release details on who these eight superstars are as of yet.

Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart, and strong enough to live the life you've always imagined.
Recently life has taken quite the turn and now it's time to tell my story. I haven't blogged in SO LONG, but here we go again. Little by little I will share my story with you and I can only hope that it will inspire you and encourage you to live life freely, from the center of your true self (and don't worry, my story will still include fashion, travel, and my adventures around LA). I digress.
Funny thing is… the day of my last blog post was the beginning of the end. The last chapter of that portion of my life started that day and it ended in May. Since May, I have been loved back to life and it has been an amazing journey that I will be forever thankful for. What is to come is real and raw, and it's dark at times; but it ends with so much light.
My opinions weren't fully my own. They were these tainted versions of the way I saw the world and the people around me. I judged the books I read, the news stories I heard, and the actions of others by the scale of a man and his opinion of any given situation.
I took every ounce of free will that God gave to me and chose to place it into the hands of another human. Or monster? That one is debatable.
Truth was a word that I avoided. It wasn't a place that I wanted to visit and it surely wasn't something that I lived by. I hid so well from my truth, that it took 32 years to find me. But once it found me, it pierced my soul so deeply that living it became my passion and my focus. It began to fuel me in ways that I can't even put into words.
Life became clear, love became real, friends became true. Forgiveness, reconciliation, mercy, and grace were experienced. Authenticity actually meant something to me. Secrets were no longer allowed.
The life that I lived was a direct reflection of the choices that I made. I chose to give up freedom. I chose to deny truth. I chose not to reflect God, but to reflect man.
I am not my past.
Today… I've taken back my freedom, I've decided to let truth permeate my life, I choose to (try to?) reflect the heart of God and not that of a man. I choose my future.
I will not be held down or held back.
I will speak up when you are wrong.
I will love when it is right.
I will be me.
I will live FREE
I know I'm late to the game but I'm completely in love with my new Chambray shirt and Ombre hair (not a good shot of the hair, I know). I also have a new love for DIY after making my blogger bag with Miss Me Jeans (I won the contest-more to come on that and a giveaway) at Lucky Fabb. Also, my fave Seattle blogger and friend, Jess Estrada from FreshJess.com - she's fabulous!
My new drink obsession is Neuro… they are seriously AMAZING! Bliss is my favorite because of the name and the cute bottle. I'm a sucker for good packaging, there, I said it! I will be testing all of the Neuro drinks this week and writing about them so stay tuned! In the meantime, go try Bliss and be happy!
Ok, best lip product EVER and it's under $3. Really? Yes, true story. Also, this foundation has kind of changed my life. Thank you, Maybelline, I am in love.
It's no surprise that cupcakes are included, right? Well not just any cupcakes. I discovered, For The Love Of Sugar, a few weeks back and we have a love hate relationship. I would do almost anything for the vanilla coconut cupcake but as if that isn't enough, each week I try a new flavor as well. Running an extra mile everyday just to treat myself weekly is worth it, trust.
My go to outfit of summer has always been a maxi dress and this year is no different. I have worn 3 this week alone! These $7 sandals from Forever 21 are seriously super comfortable and go with everything. I love being able to throw on a dress and simple sandals… it's effortless and always looks put together. Try it!
One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy.

Until January of last year, I associated DKNY with outdated rhinestone baseball caps and baby tees (think Bebe-esque logo). Why? Because that's the kind of brand that DKNY still was? Absolutely not! It was only because I had not really been exposed to the brand since those items were "in" (Bebe, maybe you can take a cue regarding the evolution of a brand). But that's beside the point. I digress.
For some reason in early 2011, CBS agreed to feature me on a live morning show to talk—fashion, what else? In the midst of my research for the segment, I came across several articles featuring the top Twitter handles to follow in fashion. Three names seemed to stand out over and over. At first I thought nothing of it. What does a brand rep from NYC that is "tweeting" have to do with me, a girl in Richmond, Virginia? I would soon find out: a lot!
The stories of @dkny, @bergdorfs and @oscarprgirl began to intrigue me. They were not just a brand; they were personalities, with stories to share and conversations that were fun to join. They were witty, insightful, and they actually respond to normal people like me all the way in little Richmond, Virginia.
I joined this Twitter thing, never expecting it to become part of my daily life, but it seemed fun. At the very beginning of my Twitter days, I came across a tweet about Lucky Magazine's FABB conference. I did not realize it then, but I was incredibly "lucky" to be one of the first to get in on this amazing event. One thing led to another and I found myself in NYC having a convo with none other than Erica AKA @OscarPRGirl. She dished out tips on branding, fashion, and life in the city that never sleeps. Cannon (@Bergdorfs) was also in attendance at FABB and I got a quick "hello" but she was busy running between the event and the store! Needless to say, after this event, I became THAT much more aware of the power of Twitter and what these "brands" actually had to do with me. Aliza (@DKNY) was still anonymous at this time so a personal meeting was not an option. Although, I did ask Erica if she knew this fabulous Twitter personality. "Yes, she works in my building—you should just tweet her!" Tweet her I did, and she—to my surprise—tweeted back?! Needles to say, I no longer have the same view of DKNY. I know it's long past the rhinestone logo days and well onto amazing pieces worth obsessing over. Hello cape dress?
It's been just a little over a year since I joined this Twitter world that at times can seem more like a community. Some are like extended family, always supporting me, while others are like friends, dishing out advice on everything from fashion to tech. Then, there are those that I can always count on for a good laugh! I have met so many of these "strangers" in real life (or should I say, IRL?) and I never would have had the privilege of making these friends and connections without Twitter. People who don't tweet, still don't get why I take pictures of my food, care about what attire @dkny thinks is acceptable or why I got so exited by a tweet that included #IETT from the legend herself (my ultimate Twitter moment I must say). But that's ok! If you get it, you get it.
Without Twitter, (specifically: @bergdorfs) I would not have known who Linda Fargo was nor had the chance to say hi to her outside of the Chanel fashion show in Paris. I wouldn't have realized the power of a top knot or Bikram yoga (thanks @OscarPRGirl). And last but not least, I would not be in LA living out a dream had I not found the book Secrets of A Stylist by @SashaCharnin.
One year ago, I was the shy girl researching Fashion for a TV segment in Richmond, VA. Doing pulls from a local mall was big for me even though it may have been nothing to anyone in the fashion world. That local mall and my newfound Twitter obsession had nothing yet everything to do with each other at the same time. Last September, I ended up co-judging Project Style for Fashion's Night Out at that same local mall with Alexis Bellino of The Real Housewives Of Orange County and Richmond's coolest DJ, Melissa Chase. I am now a brand ambassador for Shoptopia. I've attended a school for styling in Hollywood . Lately, I've been assisting stylists on photo shoots (oh, you know, just Ali Lohan and Lucy McIntosh to name a few), had the privilege of attending FABB AGAIN, I've received personal advice from Brad Goreski, and the list goes on! There have been so many amazing opportunities it's unreal. A dream come true or should I say, coming true. It's not easy and it's not always perfect but I'll take it! Just thinking… Had I never looked into this Twitter thing… No—I can't even go there! Oh yeah and I guess I owe you a little thanks too, @jack! :)
How has twitter impacted your life? I would love to hear!
I am a sucker for anything that combines fashion and learning! I can't get enough of the conferences, classes and seminars, I always leave with new friends and a notebook full of new ideas. So naturally when I heard of the Simply Stylist seminar at the W Hotel in Hollywood (which in itself is a fabulous enough reason to go) I knew it was an event not to be missed.
Black and yellow was the theme of the day for me. I always choose to wear a dress that stands out when I attend these events. People tend to remember me easier and… hey, standing out in a sea of fashionable people is quite hard to do! My outfit is featured on the Simply Stylist website, if you are feeling kind, you can vote here.
Lunch was… lite? It's Hollywood, I should have expected it. Yummy, indeed but I'm so not a salad girl! Networking with new people is always one of my favorite parts of these events. At lunch I met lovely fellow stylists, bloggers, and even a few fellow School of Style grads! Check out their fabulous blogs:
Jamie Gaul: comedian/fashion blogger at vogueandvodka.com
Erica Paonessa: fashion blogger at styleminx.com
Elizabeth Keene: stylist/fashion blogger at akeenesenseofstyle.com
Molly Drago: Stylist at mollydragostyle.blogspot.com
Emily Moiseve: Stylist at EmilyMoiseve.com
I met up with friend and fellow Personal Styling 101 grad, Courtney Jacobs and she snapped the above picture of me in front of the hotel.
Fancy fancy… the red carpet leading to the seminar
With Jamie Krell and Catt Sadler, such sweet and inspirational ladies
The panel was moderated by Catt and included (from left to right):
LA Editor of Refinery29 and former Vogue staffer
Style expert for E! and Style network
Founders of Naven fashion worn by stars such as Katy Perry, and Emmy Rossum
Celebrity stylist to Katie Holmes who she also collaborates with for their line Holmes & Yang
Fashion blogger for CheyenneMeetsChanel
Although the entire panel had some great words of wisdom, here are my favorite pieces of advice that I took home with me that day!
I'm disheveled and I own it - Brenna
Do your job better than anyone else no matter what it is - Brenna
Take a picture, it's so much more honest than a mirror - Brenna
Have a centered life outside of work - Jeanne
Be as positive and as happy as possible, always laugh. Keep going and it will pay off. - Jeanne
Do an idiot check (3rd check) - Jeanne
Being bitter gives you wrinkles - Jeanne
90% of successful people is because of hard work not raw talent - Jeanne
Always be a first rate version of yourself - Catt
I picked up this amazing product after the seminar, Glam Glow Mud. Can you see the difference in my hands? The one on the left is so much smoother and brighter… I was sold on the spot! This stuff is the real deal!
After taking Class 1 with School Of Style and learning the business of styling (see my experience here) I decided to take it a step further and learn the ropes of being a personal stylist. This class was held in the "Darkroom" at smashbox studios, Hollywood and taught by the fabulous, Lauren Messiah. Chic, no? Lauren is not only an experienced personal stylist, she is also an ambassador for Westfield Malls, Kohls and a part of:Style For Hire with Stacy London. Pretty impressive stuff! Not to mention her website, LaurenMessiah.com is beyond any other stylist's website I have ever seen. On that note… go check it out, she's the real deal!
Class is in session! Really, who wouldn't want this to be their classroom? I met so many fabulous fashion lovers and learned so much, if you have an interest… take the class!
Why personal styling vs regular editorials, celeb styling, and red carpet?
The experience is more one on one and you are able to help someone feel better about themselves, which betters their life and THAT, is something money can't buy. What girl doesn't just love a makeover story? Imagine being a professional makeoverer (I know, it's not a real word but it sounds cool) as your job? It's like, What Not To Wear, but in real life-your life!
What do you learn in Personal Styling 101?
If you love fashion and styling like me, that list is about as exciting as a shopping spree! I loved every second of it!
For a personal style class I chose to stick to my typical wardrobe of black, white and a denim jacket. I've tried to get away from it for years but now I'm just learning to embrace it! I added bright matte lips (MAC Ruby Woo) sparkles and some winged liner.
Will you be taking the class? I would love to hear about your experience. Sign up here
This picture says it all! Brad was seriously one of the most laid back, goofy, sweet and well dressed people I have ever met! When I found out that he would be doing a book signing and Q&A at The Grove in LA, I knew I had to be there.
Basic black would not work for this event so I decided to step up my color and pattern mixing game. Out of my comfort zone but I think it worked well!
Brad is worth arriving early for. I was first in line and ended up sitting front and center (because is there anywhere else to be?). My obsession with an iced venti green tea (double the cup) oddly enough started when I saw Rachel sipping them on The Rachel Zoe Project. Which is where we all first met the adorable, Brad Goreski… him and all of his tears! But I like how Brad so boldly put it, "The Rachel issue is so last season". It's a Brad Brad World now… DUH!
During Q&A I asked Brad, "What is your advise for an aspiring stylist"? I wish I would have recorded his answer, but in a nut shell it was: BE THE BEST INTERN YOU CAN BE and NEVER EVER EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING TIRED (his number one pet peeve). He actually took quite a bit of time answering the question and lucky me got the personal advice the night before my first styling job!
As a former personal assistant of almost 10 years, I totally adore Lindsay! She is cute as a button, sweet as southern iced tea and absolutely amazing at her job. I was honored to meet and chat with her.
Ahhh… somebody pinch me because this actually happened! I also got to meet Gary on my way out, what a night! I could not have been more pleased with Team Brad. I hope to meet these three awesome people again one day. Hey, who knows, maybe one day I'll get to work with Brad? Crazier things have happened. And one day, I will find a Gary. If you don't know what that means - watch the show!
Amazing, right? Something I will forever remember as I embark on this crazy journey of being a stylist. Personal advice, from Brad, himself, getting to meet Brad, Lindsay AND Gary, and a signed book? I would say: A night to remember!
Brad's book, Born To Be Brad, is an inspirational story of being true to yourself and dreams come true. Hard works pays off and Brad is proof of that. If you haven't already, get your copy here. And if you have read it, let me know what you think!
When my bestie came to visit me in LA, finding a television show taping to attend was priority! And what better than Fashion Police? I mean really, Joan is the funniest person alive, I love Giuliana for a million reasons, George is just too sweet, and I have been wanting to see Kelly's hair in person… like forever. Which by the way is GORGEOUS on her, I judge no more. Girl can rock it.
I don't know if I have ever been more stressed out about finding exactly the right thing to wear! Sitting in front of a cast who judges ensembles as a living is a bit of an intimidating thought, no?
The Scene: NBC Universal studio. Call time was 8am, yep… Fashion Police is filmed that early and everyone on set look perfect. They must have had A LOT of COFFEE! No video's or picture taking was allowed while the cameras were actually filming so my shots aren't great but they work. Fashion Police is taped on Tuesday and aired on Friday night. It was SO HARD not to tweet spoiler alerts! But I was a good girl! :)
Jonathan Adler (LOVE HIM) here to chat about the new set he designed for the show, such a nice guy! In between takes; hair, makeup and stylist guru's were on hand to spray, pin, powder and provide sips of water to the hosts. I got to see the fabulous, Lauren Shane in action which was quite thrilling. I love the styling work she does on, Giuliana!
They passed out these badges to the audience. Cool, right? I'm now an official, Joan Ranger! Along with badges, Melissa (Rivers- executive producer) passed candy around and kept us on a sugar high to make sure that we were loud and crazy for the entire taping. It's quite exhausting to do so much clapping, screaming and laughing that early, but well worth it to be a part of the show! I can't wait to go back.
A gorgeous night at The Grove in LA was just the start of a fabulous night hosted by two of my favorite ladies in fashion.
Nail art, lemon drops, and candy colored hair… who wouldn't have fun?
Say Fromage! Goofing around in the smile booth with fellow bloggers.
A packed party. Everyone came styled in brights, spring fever has set in! My must have from Gap this spring? These red pants that Katherine was wearing… so cute!
Ok, seriously, I don't freak out around celebs (well Bradley Cooper would be another story) but, I got so excited to meet Katherine that I don't think I said anything except: Can I get a picture with you? Duh… where did my brain go? I adore these ladies for their genius work of Who What Wear. I have been following the site since it started, since before I knew what a "blog" was. And Katherine, if you happen to read this I had planned to tell you all about the time I used a "What Was She Wearing" post for inspiration during a styling contest and… I WON. That contest made me fall in love with fashion all over again and it's the reason I'm here doing what I'm doing today. So THANK YOU! And sorry for acting like somewhat of a crazed fan!
I got this shot with Hillary as she was trying to leave and she was so sweet to stop and pose with me. Note to self: Hair half up makes you look a bit alien-like in pictures and eyebrows disappear under fluorescent lighting. Anyway, I digress… I managed to blurt out a sentence or two about how much I love that their site is fashion sans gossip and that I was glad to meet them. Again, acting like a bit of a crazed fan! So sorry, Hillary! PS - I loved your bubbly personality.
Once I did discover fashion blog, this adorable (and TINY) little blogger, Dulce Candy @DulceCandy87, was one of the firsts I followed. Her Youtube videos are always helpful and she has such incredible style. She was SUPER sweet in person, so glad I got to finally meet her in person! Follow her amazing blog for style tips and inspiration.
I met up with new friends, Jessica @thestylefront and Elizabeth @lizzybeth1234 at the event. We met during School Of Style in Hollywood just a few weeks ago. You can see my School Of Style post here.
I think I managed to actually say Thank You before I left, but I'm not totally sure! Either way… I was a bit star struck! Side note: How amazing is her leather jacket?
I know you will be wearing brights this spring so pick some up at Gap and find out how to style them on WhoWhatWear.com
Oh and there will be a contest for who styled their bright ensembles best. If you would be so kind, you can vote for me here.
Above: My School Of Style Workbook and Coffee
I have read every book that I could get my hands on written by stylists, every blog, conference, live streaming… you name it. The last book I read, Secrets Of A Stylist by Sasha Charnin was by far the most helpful and insightful tool of all. I took notes on that book like it was my job! But really I had no job, what was the next step to take for someone who has no experience and can't intern because most internships are in exchange for school credit. I'm not in school therefore nobody is going to give me an internship. So I googled "How To Become A Stylist" and I found this site for: School Of Style.
I had never heard anything from anyone about this school so I turned to the only outlet I know for this sort of thing- TWITTER! I tweeted Sasha and asked her if she had heard of the school. She hadn't so I tweeted her the link and handle (@SchoolOfStyle) she checked it out and said it looks like a legit place. I love twitter! Where else can you just pick the brain of a stylist/author/fashion director of US magazine? I was told by someone in the industry that if you seek help in this industry by those that "get it", those that have been in your shoes and made it, they will help you. So far it's tried, tested and true!
Above: Smashbox Studios
I found myself at the amazing Smashbox Studios on Saturday morning ready to learn! Coffee (how cute is the Smashbox sleeve?) in hand, seat in the front of class, here goes nothing…
Above: A Stylist Sandwhich! Me with teachers Luke Storey and Lauren Messiah
Luke is a GREAT teacher, he's so much fun and so full of knowledge! Side note, his laid back Cali attitude and vocab may or may not have something to do with the fact that "Dope" and "Capish" are injected into my conversations from here on out.
I'm not going to give away the class but I will tell you that I learned everything from what THE LETTER is (see… don't you wanna know?) to the important part like, how to actually get the job! Secrets of the trade like: industry lingo, how to do a pull and Lauren's fav: How To Get Fired, had my full attention. I loved absorbing it all! I'm ready to show up at a job and feel confident enough with the knowledge I got from class.
After completing Class 1 all students are added to the graduates list; which means I'll be receiving emails for job openings. It's my "in" to the industry because we all know… It's who you know that counts!
Above: Luke and Lauren Teaching, Students, Outside the studio (Hollywood) and what's in my bag
It was like the books that I've read actually came to life! I learned so much and seriously cannot wait to get back to class and learn more. The location is amazing, the class is fun, and the people are great. So you want to be a stylist? Here, let me help you! www.theSchoolOfStyle.Com Follow them on twitter (duh) @SchoolOfStyle
PS- Lauren's blog is DOPE
Because a door with a foot in it is harder to close. Making your dreams come true is only a step away!
Next week is is February already, almost a month has passed since we decided that 2012 would be the year for situations to change, goals to be reached, and dreams to come true. There's nothing like a fresh start, new beginnings hold so many promises. Or do they?
Yes and no. New beginnings don't only come around on January first. Fresh starts aren't only for Monday. Each day is a gift, this life is short, don't wait for tomorrow. It's just another excuse. Dreams do come true, but as the product of hard work, sacrifice, determination, persistence, and dedication. In the midst of everyday life, it's easy to lose a dream. Something you once held onto with dear life slowly starts to slip away from your grip. Being replaced by the daily grind: work, bills, kids, commitments… it's all too common.
Life is busy, but you can still hold on!
Schedule a time each day that you can focus on working towards your dream. Whether its a blog post you've been meaning to write, an email that needs to be sent, or a phone call that has to be made. JUST DO IT. One foot in front of the other, little by little, day by day, and the pieces will soon begin to come together. The hard work will pay off, the sacrifices will be in the past, and you will be living your dream rather than just dreaming your dream. Daydreams sound nice, but they get you nowhere. Real dreams hold real potential. Hold on, with dear life at times, just as long as you never let go.
Each day brings with it a plethora of emotions, a to do list (whether large or small), and opportunities. One might say that the day not only brings opportunities but also obstacles. This depends on how you choose to look at it. I choose to see each obstacle as an opportunity. One door closed only means another will open. Unless you fight it, complain about it, and settle for it. C'est la Vie
Oh how I love twitter! I follow @LorenRidinger (and you should too) and when she tweeted about a contest for a trip to Miami, I not only instantly entered but I tweeted it to my friend Amber @AMBitiousPRGirl and told her to enter too. Having forgotten all about it, I was walking by her desk several days later and she yells, " I WON". What? No way? Yes, she did and we were Miami bound! Honestly, we had no idea what to expect, all we were thinking was: It's January, we're cold, Miami is HOT. And Loren will be there, duh!
What we saw right when we got to Miami. We just realized that our boots and jackets were no longer needed. It was snowing in Richmond, when we left!
We checked into the Whitelaw Hotel, a boutique hotel right Collins Ave. It's a block from the beach, situated smack dab in the middle of shopping (dangerous) and good food (even more dangerous). The rate was insanely cheap, we thought that the website must have been fibbing a bit. Nope! It was gorgeous. Free Wifi, a shuttle to and from the airport (which we missed and had to hop on a bus to the hotel and it quickly became our means of transportation for the trip), beach towels, and a fun beach bag. If you are planning a trip to MIA anytime soon, I would highly recommend it!
Our first morning we woke up early, mapped out how to get to the event by bus (I wasn't kidding) and headed to Loren's event, Market America. When we arrived at the American Airlines Area, we were escorted through the VIP entrance (got a peek at Loren's dressing room) and to front row VIP seats. Among us? Eva Longoria and Serena Williams to name a few! Our favorite part of the day was the Chinese New Year Celebration!
1. Chinese New Year Celebration 2. The Stage 3. All glammed up waiting for the bus 4. The essentials: ma pass, bus pass, and hotel key 5. Our seating
Ps- Getting ready in that kind of humidity is no easy task!
What's a visit to Miami without the beach? This was only a few steps outside of our hotel room, heaven, right? Well, until that huge jelly fish stung me! Amber had to unwrap it from my foot. Now that's a friend. As you can see, our white legs needed a tan!
We did the touristy thing and went to Espanola Way for some dinner, don't judge. Dash was right behind our hotel so of course we had to peek in. $10 for a bottle of Kardashian water, no thanks! I ran on this trail that led to the beach each morning, I could stay in shape if this was my daily view! Breakfast at News Cafe is always fun for people watching, but my favorite was cafe con leche at, Puerto Sagua. A puerto rican restaurant frequented by JLo.

The Sleepy Hollow Ladies, on July 5, played the fun game "Four Clubs Only), no sand traps (front or back) minus 50 percent handicap. The intense heat encourages many ladies to play only nine holes. By playing the game as (best front or back) makes it more inclusive for all that are in attendance that day. First place went to Debbie DeLeonardo with a 31. Lynne Wiseman and Carol Winckler tied for second and third places with scores of 36. The three ladies who tied for "Putts" at 15 each were: Peggy Sowers, Dot Sager, and Peggy Glascock.
On July 12, the ladies competed in a Major Tournament, "The President's Cup". Owners, Marney and Jimmy Glenn, give a generous monetary gift to those finishing first and second. The tournament is in honor of their mother, Alice Strider Glenn. Debbie DeLeonardo prevailed with a 63 with Carol Winckler second with a 68.
The Daily Tournament was Low Net (Front or back) minus 50 percent handicap. First place went to Debbie DeLeonardo with a 28. Dr. Marneerat earned second place. Third place belonged to Carol Winckler. Lynne Wiseman and Dot Sager tied for "Putts" with 14 each. Lynne Wiseman birdied the eighth hole; she had an eagle on the same hole last year.

Frank Almeda
In 2011 and 2012 Frank traveled to Colombia, for field studies of the Melastomataceae for the National Science Foundation PBI: Miconieae project. Our Academy team is focusing on Colombia because it is a major center of diversity for the family (58 genera and 957 species) and constitutes a major knowledge gap for this large family of flowering plants among Neotropical countries. These expeditions to Colombia have resulted in the collection of numerous rare species. Some of the species collected were previously only known from the type or less than five collections. The work there has also resulted in range extensions for many taxa and the discovery of numerous species new to science.
We would like to acknowledge our colleagues in Colombia and their institutions who have played a significant role in the success of our expeditions: Carlos A. Parra (Herbario COL- Universidad Nacional de Colombia), Humberto Mendoza, Eduino Carbonó (Herbario UTMC - Universidad del Magdalena), Philip Silverstone (Herbario CUVC – Universidad del Valle), Luis Roberto Sánchez (Herbario HECASA – Universidad de Pamplona), César Marín (Herbario UIS - Universidad Industrial de Santander), Bernardo Ramírez (Herbario CAUP – Universidad del Cauca), Martha Sofía González-Insuasti (Herbario PSO – Universidad de Nariño), Eva Ledezma Rentería (Herbario CHOCO – Universidad del Chocó). Field assistants: Mario Camilo Barrera, Jose David García, Breyner Martínez, Juan Mauricio Posada y Juan Fernando Restrepo.
The protected areas we have visited are as follows:
National Parks: PNN Chingaza, PNN Complejo volcánico Doña Juana-Cascabel, PNN Cocuy, PNN Farallones de Cali, PNN Munchique, PNN Pisba, PNN Selva de Florencia, PNN Serranía de los Churumbelos, PNN Serranía de los Yariguies , PNN Tamá, PNN Tatamá, SFF Galeras, SFF Iguaque.
Private reserves: Reserva Natural Campesina La Judía, Reserva Natural Cerro del Inglés, Reserva Natural El Refugio, Reserva Natural La Rejoya, Reserva Natural Río Ñambí, Reserva Natural Sisavita, Reserva natural de las Aves El Dorado, Reserva natural de las Aves El Pangán, Reserva natural de las Aves El Paujil, Reserva Zingara.
Frank spent three weeks in Madagascar in the company of Botany Department assistants (Rebecca Peters, Emily Magnaghi, and the late Rebecca Wenk), and our Botanical Coordinator in Madagascar, Rokiman Letsara. They conducted botanical field studies at Isalo National Park, Mantadia National Park, the Angavo Plateau Forest east of Anjozorobe, and the Réserve Villageoise d'Anja inselbergs south of Ambalavao. Their collecting efforts concentrated on succulent plants, bryophytes, Melastomataceae, and several other flowering plant families.
Frank has traveled to Brazil, Spain and Madagascar in 2009, as he continues his research on Systematics and phylogeny of Melastomataceae worldwide (with emphasis on Mexico/Central America, Andean South America, Brazil, and Madagascar); Chromosomal evolution of neotropical and paleotropical Melastomataceae; Cloud Forest floras of the Mesoamerican region; Historical biogeography and phylogeny of neotropical Symplocaceae; Flora of Marin County, California; Vegetation and flora of the Cerrado Biome Hotspot in Brazil; Drug discovery/biotic surveys and inventories of vascular plants and lichens in the rainforests of southern Madagascar.
Tom Daniel
Tom visited Guatemala in 2009, to conduct field studies in remote regions of Guatemala supported by the National Geographic Society to 1) document occurrences of Acanthaceae, 2) relocate rare species known from a single collection (some of them made more than 100 years ago), and explore little-visited regions in an attempt to locate species unknown to science. Tom and his Guatemalan colleagues were able to locate 34 species of the shrimp plant family (Acanthaceae), including two that are new to science and two that were previously known only from a single collection. His collections and field observations are being used in an assessment of the biodiversity of Guatemala and will appear as a chapter in the book, Biodiversidad de Guatemala. A detailed account of the members of this large tropical family in Guatemala is also being prepared for publication.
Tom also visited São Tomé & Príncipe in 2008, on a Botanical collecting trip on these two oceanic islands in the Gulf of Guinea. The expedition resulted in collection of numerous bryophytes, ferns, and flowering plants, including 15 of the 17 species of the shrimp plant family (Acanthaceae) occurring there. His collections extended the known distribution records of several of these species. A comprehensive account of Acanthaceae in this island nation that includes identification keys, images, ecological and geographic data, and conservation notes has been submitted for publication.
Peter Fritsch
For 2011, Peter plans to go on the Philippines expedition mentioned below, and then he will spend three months in China (Jul 1-Sep 30) to conduct field work, write papers, and collect some molecular data. Also, he plans to attend (during that time) the International Botanical Congress in Melbourne Australia in July.
Peter went to the Philippines in October for two weeks to prepare for an expedition planned for April-May of 2011. He also went to Providence, Rhode Island, to attend the American Society of Plant Taxonomists meeting and delivered a talk.
Peter, conducted a field trip with a colleague from Wake Forest University to the state of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo for three weeks in June-July 2009. The purpose of the trip was to find, study, and collect leaf samples of species of the flowering plant genus Diplycosia, in the heath family (Ericaceae). This group and its close relatives (Gaultheria, the wintergreen genus) is thought to have originated in the Northern Hemisphere at a time in the early Tertiary (Age of Mammals) when climate were much warmer, and during the advent of later cooling trends migrated southwards into the tropics and eventually became extinct in the north. Fritsch spent most of his time on Mt. Kinabalu, the highest peak on Borneo, with an elevation of 4095 meters (13,500 feet),where he was able to locate 15 species of Diplycosia. These are now being sampled for DNA sequences in the Academy's molecular laboratory. With the DNA data, Fritsch will estimate the patterns and timing of speciation over geologic time to test the group's postulated evolutionary history.

Dread: Poemsby Ai
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A searing collection of poems about America's loss of innocence from the National Book Award--winning author of Vice. IN POEMS THAT TRAVEL from the horrific flight of a World War II pilot to the World Trade Center attack, from the death of JFK Jr. to the poet's own bastard birth. Ai conjures purity as a distant memory and the knowledge of evil as an "infinite dark night."
"Ai is the queen of poetic monologues. Her new collection of unsparing, often headline-inspired recitations...presents her most masterfully unnerving works to date....Explicit, audacious, and empathic, Ai's cleansing soliloquies give voice to pain both personal and communal." Donna Seaman, Booklist
"[S]triking, violent or baroquely sexual life stories fuel this seventh volume of verse from Ai....After six books of painful monologues, some readers may find her speakers' language limited, or their situations redundant; many, however, will gravitate to the undoubtedly powerful personae Ai creates..." Publishers Weekly
"Dread has the characteristic moral strength that makes Ai a necessary poet....We feel in this book, as perhaps never before in Ai's work, the presence of the writer and her anguished condition....One can only feel grief for Ai that the world offers her so much subject matter, but that she has had the courage to confront it again and again is astonishing." Vijay Seshadri, The New York Times Book Review
About the Author
Ai's first book, Cruelty, received critical acclaim when it was published in 1973. Her second book, Killing Floor, was the 1978 Lamont Poetry Selection of the Academy of American Poets. Her next book, Sin (1987), won an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and was followed by Fate in 1991. In 1999 Vice was the winner of the National Book Award for Poetry. Ai is a native of the American Southwest and lives in Tucson, Arizona. In the year 2002-2003 she held the Mitte Chair in Creative Writing at Southwest Texas State University.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Domonique Foxworth
Sun Mar 25, 2012 2:42 pm Former Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth has been elected as the new NFLPA President.
Fantasy Source Spin: Foxworth replaces Kevin Mawae and beat out Jeff Saturday, among others, for the gig. Just 29 years old, Foxworth was released by the Ravens earlier this month after persistent knee troubles held him to only two games over the last two seasons. Profootballtalk.com passes along "widespread belief in league circles" that Foxworth's NFL career is over.
Source: Profootballtalk on NBC Sports
Mon Mar 5, 2012 4:01 pm Ravens released CB Domonique Foxworth.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move terminates Foxworth's remaining $5.6 million base salary, which will come directly off Baltimore's cap. They can make a play for restricted free agent WR Mike Wallace if they really want. Foxworth's NFL career may be over at age 29 due to persistent knee troubles. He was a 16-game starter for the Ravens in 2009, but has made it into just two games ever since.
Source: Jason La Canfora on Twitter
Sat Feb 25, 2012 6:15 pm Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth is scheduled to meet with GM Ozzie Newsome next week to discuss his status with the team.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I have a meeting with Foxworth when I get back next Thursday," Newsome said. "I don't know what his intentions are." Foxworth, 28, is rumored to be seeking an injury settlement after undergoing a career-threatening knee surgery. Scheduled for a $5.6 million next season, his time in Baltimore is likely over.
Source: baltimoreravens.com
Fri Feb 3, 2012 10:06 am Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth was noncommittal when asked if his balky knee would keep him from playing another NFL game.
Fantasy Source Spin: "That's a tough question," said Foxworth. "I feel like I probably shouldn't talk about anything in depth until I talk to the team." Foxworth won't see his $5.6 million salary for 2012, but it sounds like he could be angling for an injury settlement.
Source: ESPN.com
Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:05 pm CB Domonique Foxworth is unsure if he'll be back with the Ravens in 2012.
Fantasy Source Spin: Due $5.6 million after a knee injury limited him to just two games the past two seasons, Foxworth will have to be amenable to a massive pay-cut to have any chance of staying in Baltimore. With Lardarius Webb having a breakout year in 2011 and rookie Jimmy Smith coming on late, Foxworth will likely be moving on.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:34 am Ravens placed CB Domonique Foxworth (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Foxworth has been a liability in the secondary, confirming that he still isn't over his ACL surgery. Considering it's been about 14 months since his procedure, it would make sense if further complications are later revealed. Foxworth is due $5.6 million in base salary next season, meaning his time in Baltimore is likely over.
Source: Jamison Hensley on Twitter
Mon Sep 26, 2011 2:04 pm Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth was deactivated in Week 3 as he continues to fight through pain in his surgically repaired right knee.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It hurts like hell," said Foxworth, who also admitted he's been hurting the team when in the lineup. "So I'm just going to keep working and try to get back." Foxworth is carrying a $4.4 million salary. It was surprising the Ravens kept him on the roster in the first place after he suffered setbacks in camp.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:07 pm Coach John Harbaugh acknowledges that CB Domonique Foxworth is playing "very, very conservatively" and may have to be rested while his surgically repaired knee gets back up to full speed.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It hurts," Foxworth said. "It sucks. I had a lot of pain during camp. It's still hurting. This is where we are." Foxworth has been a liability in coverage, getting smoked by Kenny Britt last week. Chris Carr (hamstring) is expected to return this week, leaving Foxworth to spend the afternoon on the bench.
Source: Carroll County Times
Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:56 am Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth (ACL surgery) doesn't appear to have his recovery speed back.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's been about 13 months since Foxworth tore his ACL. He got burned repeatedly in Thursday's preseason game, highlighting the Ravens' need for rookie Jimmy Smith to acclimate quickly.
Source: Carroll County Times
Sat Aug 13, 2011 2:05 pm Domonique Foxworth (ACL surgery) returned to Ravens practice on Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Foxworth missed Baltimore's first preseason game on Thursday, but likely feels an urgency to get back on the field with his roster spot being far from assured. Rookie Jimmy Smith has also been banged up, so Chris Carr is working as the starter opposite Lardarius Webb at cornerback for the Ravens.
Source: Jamison Hensley on Twitter
Mon Aug 1, 2011 6:51 pm Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth conceded that his surgically repaired right knee "doesn't feel great" and indicated that he's experiencing a loss of speed and explosiveness in practice.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It's frustrating. I don't know. I'm not very happy about it, but I'll just keep working, I guess," said Foxworth. "It hurts, and I don't feel as quick or as fast as I once was." If rookie Jimmy Smith comes along quickly, Foxworth's roster spot will hang in the balance. The Ravens could go forward with Smith and Lardarius Webb as starters, shedding Foxworth's $4.4 million salary.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:29 am Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth (ACL surgery) intends to start in Week 1.
Fantasy Source Spin: Foxworth tore his ACL one year ago and rehabbed all offseason while simultaneously playing a major role in the labor negotiations. He admitted that there were times this summer when his knee felt "really, really bad," but now says it feels great. The Ravens will find out soon if he is truly back to 100 percent.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:32 am SI.com's Jim Trotter reports a previously undisclosed secret fund that would pay each player roughly $200,000 in 2011 may be the spark that ignited progress in labor negotiations Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: NFLPA boss DeMaurice Smith secured the insurance policy that would go into effect if there's no football this year. Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth threw that "ace in the hole" on the table with momentum at a standstill Wednesday. One source close to the owners acknowledged that the revelation "definitely" got their attention. Between the players' secret fund and Judge Doty's ruling that the owners could not touch their own "illegally created" $4 billion lockout fund, Foxworth's move may prove to be the turning point in the CBA discussions.
Source: SI.com
Wed May 25, 2011 9:38 am Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth (ACL surgery) is participating in informal workouts with teammates this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Foxworth "appeared to be moving well," but he did favor his knee slightly when cutting. He should be close to 100 percent by training camp, though he might have to take a pay cut from his scheduled $4.4 million salary.

Sat Mar 19, 2011 6:31 pm Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth, a member of the former NFLPA's executive committee, says the players are "fine with never being a union again."
Fantasy Source Spin: "It's in our best interests to be an association," he said. "I don't perceive any time in the future when we're going to be a union again." Were the players to remain an association instead of a union after the lockout ends, it would cost the NFL its antitrust exemption. It's just another bargaining chip for the players, who will likely offer to re-certify in exchange for a concession from the league.

Sun Mar 13, 2011 10:09 am The Ravens don't expect CB Domonique Foxworth to experience any problems with his surgically repaired right knee next season.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I don't think we're going to see too many side effects of him coming back early on," were the words coach John Harbaugh. "He should be full speed right out of the gates." Before he can get back on the field, however, Foxworth will likely have to renegotiate his non-guaranteed, $4.4 million 2011 salary.

Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:18 pm Updating a previous item, Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth concedes that his reconstructed knee is closer to 70 or 80 percent healed than the 100 percent he was quoted at earlier in the week.
Fantasy Source Spin: "If we had to play today, I could," Foxworth reiterated. "Right now, everyone else thinks I'm ahead of schedule, but not me. I'm comfortable, but still very conscious of it [the knee]. I think once I get back out on the field, I will regain total confidence." Foxworth may be asked to take a paycut before next season.

III. Action Item: Approval of Capital Construction Projects
President Garrison summarized the two capital construction projects listed—HVAC replacement for the Houchens Building and parking improvement at the Health Sciences Center—and explained these projects will further implement the University's facilities plans to improve the services provided to students, patients, and employees. She reported the Houchens Building's HVAC system is 30 years old and issues associated with that heating and cooling system have negatively impacted the environment. Budgeted plant funds will be used for this proposal. She stated the Health Sciences Center parking improvement will generate 200 additional parking spaces. The University Medical Center, Inc. will fund the project and UMC employees will use this new surface lot. Vice President Owsley, who has worked closely with both of these projects, provided additional information concerning the air handler quality issues in the Houchens Building. He reported the source of funding for this project is an unexpended plant fund account. In response to Trustee Marlin's question regarding the HSC parking construction project, Vice President Owsley reported that the University will pave the east side of campus, work on the garage on Chestnut Street, and will phase the parking improvements. Mr. Porter made a motion, which Ms. Schifano seconded, to approve the
President's recommendation that the following projects be approved:
Project Estimated Cost Funds Source Houchens Building HVAC Replacement $1,217,000 Plant Funds HSC Parking Improvement 334,000 UMC, Inc. Funds
The motion passed.
IV. Update on Bylaws Committee
Vice Chairman Bridgeman noted that Ms. Abrams and Mr. Green could not attend this meeting; therefore, deferred the report until the next board meeting.
V. Report of President
President Garrison reported that during the last couple of weeks, she has met with legislative leaders, representatives from the Courier Journal and the Lexington Herald, and has conveyed the message that although UofL is in a transitional period, it is not slowing down—the University's outstanding leadership team remains focused with a clear vision. She stated the faculty and staff have maintained their motivation and energy. She also noted the importance of conveying this message throughout the state.
Dr. Garrison praised the excellent undergraduate program and new plans to expand the honors program. Dr. Garrison acknowledged the incoming class of students as the best prepared since the University entered the state system. She noted the positive impact on student retention through adding residence halls and the work of the international outreach program led by Dr. Martin. She noted there are many positive reasons for students to attend the University of Louisville. Dr. Garrison mentioned that the state has not yet passed a budget for the current fiscal year but expressed a positive outlook and assurance from the Governor for the Bonds for Brains program. She noted the potential need for all schools in the state to begin looking at their budgets for next year for potential cuts. She also acknowledged that Kentucky institutions of higher education have fared well compared to schools in other states and shared her appreciation for the leadership in the state to shelter higher education.
Ms. Cauble expressed her gratitude for receiving advance notice of the upcoming Courier-Journal article. She recommended placing the "op ed" piece on UofL's website and sending to high school counselors. Dr. Garrison reported originally that article was expected in the Courier last Sunday, but is expected to run this weekend. She thanked Ms.Cauble for the recommendations and noted to pursue them.
VI. Report of Chair
Vice Chair Bridgeman acknowledged the leadership of Dr. Richard Feldhoff, whose terms expires at the end of August. President Garrison read the following resolution in his honor:
WHEREAS , Richard C. Feldhoff has served the University with distinction as the faculty representative on the Board of Trustees for the past two years and as Chair of the Faculty Senate from 2000-2002;
WHEREAS , in his capacity as a member of the Board, he served faithfully and well on various standing committees of the Board, including the Trustees Award Committee, Finance Committee and Academic and Student Affairs Committee;
WHEREAS , because of his many talents, he also served on various special University and Board Committees, including the 2002-03 Presidential Search Committee; Trustees Ad Hoc Committee on Bylaws Review, the University-wide Budget Advisory Committee, and various other groups that benefited greatly from his leadership;
WHEREAS , he willingly served on the Board of Directors of University affiliated corporations, including the University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc., and ULH, Inc.; and
WHEREAS , he has demonstrated his full and loyal support to the University, thereby winning the admiration, affection, and respect of his fellow Trustees.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , that the Board of Trustees of the University of Louisville hereby expresses its sincere admiration and deep appreciation to Richard C. Feldhoff for his distinguished contributions and outstanding performance as a member of the Board of Trustees from September 2000 through August 2002; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that a copy of this Resolution, appropriately signed, be presented to Dr. Richard C. Feldhoff.
Dr. Feldhoff received a round of applause. He thanked his fellow Board members, noting that serving on the Board has been both a pleasure and an honor. Mr. Porter made a motion, which Ms. Schifano seconded, to approve the above resolution. The motion passed.
- Presidential Search Committee Update
Co-Chair Porter briefed the Board regarding the current and upcoming work, which will begin before the Search Committee's next meeting. He noted that Bill Funk, the Committee's consultant from Korn-Ferry, has drafted a generic advertisement describing the minimum qualifications for the UofL presidency and plans to submit to the following media:
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Black Issues in Higher Education
Hispanic New Outlook
Women in Higher Education
Courier-Journal (state-wide)
He reported that Korn-Ferry plans to distribute, over the next three weeks, more than 500 letters inviting nominations and applications, to leading educational associations, presidents and provosts around the country that have worked with the firm and have good relationships with Bill or the firm, and to a network of associates that have contributed credible nominations for past searches. Mr. Porter further noted that Mr. Funk plans to use this opportunity to communicate the change in leadership at UofL. Mr. Porter reported that in late July, Mr. Funk will attend the national meeting of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities as the guest of the Association President Dino Curris, and use this opportunity to expand the pool of potential candidates for the UofL presidency.
Mr. Porter conveyed the Presidential Search Committee's respect for the requests of the students, faculty and staff to avoid too much substantive activity during the vacation months of July and August. He stated the Presidential Search Committee's plan to meet again August 19-20 with Mr. Funk to develop screening criteria for discussion with the Advisory Committees and to accelerate the pace of the search process so that a candidate pool can be considered in early Fall.
Mr. Porter promised to keep the Board apprised through progress reports, updates to the search committee's web site, and phone calls as needed.
VII. Executive Session
Mr. Porter made a motion, which Ms. Schifano seconded, to go into executive session to discuss a personnel matter. The motion passed.
VIII. Open Meeting Reconvenes
Vice Chairman Bridgeman reconvened the open meting at 6:05 and reported that a personnel matter was discussed during the executive session. No action was taken.
IX. Other Business
Vice Chairman Bridgeman reminded the Board of the reception at Amelia Place beginning at 6:30 p.m.
X. Adjournment
There being no further business, Mr. Porter made a motion, which Ms. Schifano seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 6:06 p.m.

Welcome to Cocopah Indian Tribe
The Cocopah Indian Tribe, known as the River People, have lived along the lower Colorado River and delta for centuries, maintaining their traditional and cultural beliefs throughout many political and environmental changes. Descended from the greater Yuman-speaking people who occupied lands along the Colorado River, the Cocopah had no written language, however, historical records have been passed on orally and by outside visitors.
Established in 1917, the Cocopah Reservation comprises approximately 6,500 acres. Currently about 1,000 tribal members live and work on or near the Reservation. In 1964, the Tribe founded its first Constitution and established a Tribal Council.
Located 13 miles south of Yuma, AZ, the Reservation is home to Cocopah Casino, Cocopah Resort & Conference Center, Cocopah Rio Colorado Golf Course, Cocopah Museum, Cocopah RV & Golf Resort, Cocopah Speedway and Wild River Family Entertainment Center. Visitors enjoy golfing, gaming, shopping, learning about the Tribe's culture and taking in the great scenic beauty of the region.Ā

School bond on November ballot
It's been said, "If you build it, they will come." And they have.
Jordan School District is bursting at the seams. To fund the anticipated additional 29,000 students expected over the next 10 years, parents have voted to consider bonding for it on the Nov. 5 ballot.
District officials are working to get the word out to the community about what they feel is the importance of supporting the bond. They have held a series of open houses across the district to answer questions. They've also set up a website at www.jordanbond.org to explain their position.
"We are in a really difficult situation. Growth is so dramatic, that in the future, without this bond, we are looking at additional portables in our schools, additional year-round schools. Year-round middle school is also a great possibility," Jordan School District Superintendent Dr. Patrice Johnson, said.
The district currently uses 260 portables district wide. This is the equivalent of eight elementary schools.
The Board of Education has formed committees to examine all possible cost-saving measures, and efforts have been made to adjust school boundaries as well as utilizing year-round schedules where possible. But it's just not enough, they say.
"To make year-round schedules cost effective, they need to be maintained for two to three years. We look at boundaries every year, as well as looking at costs. Year-round schedules can save in staff, utility and construction costs, but to go all year-round would make boundaries so large that bus costs would increase. This would create an additional tax burden. It's cheaper in the long run to bond and build," Jordan District spokesperson Sandy Riesgraf said.
The proposed bond is for $495 million, to be repaid over 15 to 20 years. Officials estimate that the bond will mean $10 per month for every $100,000 in home value.
School district officials hope that the bond will pay for eight new elementary schools, two new middle schools and one new high school. They hope to tear down and re-build West Jordan Elementary and West Jordan Middle School on their current sites. The list of proposed projects also includes building updates for safety, fire sprinkler updates in several schools, lighting to increase energy saving costs, and heating and air conditioning where needed.
All proposed projects must be listed on the bond to be built. Additional projects cannot be added later on.
"We have to stick to the list by law. It is a realistic list of needs, but we have to watch what the economy does. Depending on inflation, we hope to complete the entire list. This bond is very clear and open. This is the list, and we will stick to it. This board is going to be very conscious of how the money is spent. They watch it very carefully," Riesgraf said.
According to the 2013 Annual School Construction Report by School Planning and Management, Jordan School District is consistently placing in the low end of building costs, both nationally and regionally.
Region Six PTA has pledged its unconditional support for the bond. A group known as Friends of Jordan District has also become a registered political issues committee to support the issue.
"We are a group of concerned parents trying to get information out to voters so they can get out and make an educated vote. We believe that when they understand, they will vote for the bond. We all benefit from the bond," committee member Mike Haynes said.
Jordan School District is one of four school districts in the state with an AAA bond rating. This will allow the district to borrow money at the lowest possible rating.
"We do not buy bonds all at once," Riesgraf said. "Taxes should stay the same the first year or go up only slightly. We do not have a schedule set for buying bonds, but they will be purchased as we start building. Right now, our interest rate is approximately 3 percent, but it may fluctuate with the economy."

Hello List!
I am a long time reader, first time poster, and everything like that.
I use a proxy service that runs in my system tray, (the onion router, and

How is it possible for them to detect that i am using a proxy?
(also, sometimes it can detect that i am using a proxy, and other times it
can not, although i use the same software all the time.)
Thanks in advance guys!

There are many reasons homeowners choose custom kitchen cabinets over pre-built or semi-custom options. The configuration of a kitchen may require a custom design, the homeowner may have a very specific style in mind, or the options for semi-custom cabinets locally available may be limited. If custom kitchen cabinets are in your plans, you'll want to keep a few helpful hints in mind.
First, make sure you have a plan. Planning custom kitchen cabinets can now be done easily online, using a variety of planning tools available from large home design and home improvement retailers. The last thing you want to do is show up at the carpenter's without an idea of the style, design and layout you want for your kitchen cabinets, so be sure to do this homework up front.
One of the chief concerns when considering custom kitchen cabinets is price. By far, custom cabinets are the priciest option—with semi-stock and stock cabinets both generally costing much less. There are ways to make sure you don't go over budget on custom cabinets, though, including focusing on essential design elements and cutting out extras like glazing, intricate word working or specialty storage features. And when you're budgeting, be sure to price out the cost of labor, and round up—cabinets can often run over scope and over budget due to unforeseen installation issues or incremental additions to the job.
Get all the info you'll need on semi-custom kitchen cabinets, which can offer a great balance between cost and personalization...

Wealth Management Wisdom from UBS's Rosemary Berkery

(Image: Bloomberg News)
"There are some banks that are trying to get into this business by populating their commercial branches with individuals who can both lend and advise on securities, who are dually registered," she says. "I have conversations with clients all the time that say, 'We're not going to talk to them about our family trust that holds $100 million for the benefit of our children.'"

"The $50 billion line is a very bright line. If you're going to make that leap, you want to do it deliberately and with a lot of forethought."(Image: Fotolia)
Swiss investment bank UBS, the world's largest manager of assets for the wealthy, has spent the past three years carefully expanding onto U.S. retail banks' traditional turf, introducing new credit cards and mortgages for its wealthy customers. In a recent interview, Rosemary Berkery, vice chairman of UBS Wealth Management Americas and head of its U.S. bank, shared what she's learned about U.S. retail banking and how it complements banks' wealth-management goals.
