TMI: The over-sharing parents who wrecked Facebook

SOCIAL media is breeding a new kind of scourge: parents who overshare online
Here's how my very last day on Facebook went down. I sat down with my breakfast, pulled up Facebook on my phone and was greeted by a photo from inside a hospital birthing suite.
"I'm in love! Little Sienna, 3.2kg, 54cm!" read the caption below a photo of my friend, her two-minute-old baby in her arms. So far, so sweet - except my friend hadn't, um, cleaned up before the shots were snapped. From the waist down, it looked like there'd been a murder.
I swallowed and clicked Cancel Account. The parents wrecked it. I am a parent, but still: the parents wrecked Facebook.
Nothing, it seems, is off-limits to social-media breeders. They've never met a poop they wouldn't post, or a milestone they won't mark with a 'humble-brag' status ("ZOMG! Should Braydon have such amazing head control? He's only 6wks!!!!"). Snot, vomit, childbirth - it's all fodder for FaceyB.
Have your say

I agree. I've been a new parent for about 10 months now and I've probably posted a total of 5 pictures of my little bumble bee. My friends on the other hand have probably posted 10,000 pictures of their babies and they were only just born yesterday. I don't want to be rude so I just block them on my newsfeed, job done! :)

Yes, I am sure you would rather have a facebook world that is all about you. Wake up - there are lots of people out there who are not like you! Yes the moms talk about their kids - duh that is because at that point in their lives their kids are the centre of their world. I am sure your posts about how many Chardonays you guzzled last night at book club or how late your slept the morning or how xyz is such a hunk etc is equally riveting. Face it - most facebook posts are arbitrary drivel - yours included.

Facebook is just plain evil, and should be banned. I deleted my account over a year ago and its the best thing I ever did. If its not FB looking into your personal info its other people. It is responsible for so many problems with no accountability. Ban it.

Oh yes I know a few women like this. Especially one particularly narcissistic creature who can not understand that nobody cares what her children eat at EVERY meal. Not to mention her habit of posting pictures of other people's children in school uniform on her very public instagram page. Give me strength.

Give mums a break. It can be a very lonely time when you're home and Facebook is sometimes the only adult contact or social outlet during the day. Given your children are 95% of your life's focus what else are you going to post about.

No one can "wreck" Facebook, they can only spoil you experience of it. You choose who you "befriend" so any problem is to do with your taste in friends. If you don't see interesting posts it is because you have no interesting friends. I have never had a problem with Facebook, but all of my rather meager seventy friends are real friends and extended family, I don't see posts that I don't like - if I did I would end that "friendship" very quickly. Do some housekeeping!

it is not up to you what people post on their facebook, dont like it ? don't be friends with them. I hardly use Facebook, because I just don't want to read all the trips they take or what they eat for breakfast. Not just parents, many people overload there and I just dont want to know

I think FB is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. However, this story sheds some home truths that many out there share things that most of us do not really want to know about. The treat FB like EDtv. I do not want to know the ins and outs of their days, what they cooked, where they are every second of the day. And the worse are people that constantly invite you to play the stupid games they play or flood your inbox with dozens of stupid motivational messages from various sites they have liked or subscribed to. Baby boomers are the worse.

Great commentary Strategic. I thought the $15mm discrepancy was odd too. I also agree banks have more of an incentive to keep the Essex side alive, vs foreclosing or liquidating. I've been waiting to see some sort of private placement / equity infusion as well. Casey Capital has been oddly quiet since their proxy fight.... Let's hope they have something up their sleeve.

Well if you look at the press release for the forbearance agreement, they give a total OLV number for the whole company, so it looks like he might've taken a look at Coast too. If you add the drop in Essex OLV to the total company OLV they provided, it comes out somewhere around $330mm I think, which is still $15mm higher than the total OLV number they provided in the Q. I just figured that $15mm increase must be coming from the Coast side.

Agreed. Coast has the value. Although, I get a bit worried seeing their borrowing base availability under $1mm lol

I think the banks are incentivized to keep them alive though. Why force the liquidation and risk impairment when they can just manage them as a going concern? Gotta love those default fees. Most likely why they went for the forbearance. But I do find it odd that they did such a short term agreement. Maybe they expect something to happen before the 11th?
Aug 25, 2015. 12:37 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
That drop is solely attributed to the Essex Crane subsidiary assets though. It actually looks like the appraiser valued Coast Crane's assets about $30mm higher than in the last Q.

I've been buying the whole way down. Makes no sense at all. Even Coast Crane alone is worth close to triple the market cap in liquidation. No cross-collateralization even bolsters the argument further.Aug 11, 2015. 12:55 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
If SRC is able to monetize their stake, at the valuation Maple is paying, that would be quite a windfall for them, seeing as I have them going bankrupt in my worst case scenario. Although, I think the most important part here is that the proceeds are going to be used to pay down debt, which should (hopefully) alleviate my concerns about bankruptcy within the year. Either way, this increases my value of Long Run

I don't believe its a tender. SRC just said they'd vote in favor of the shares being issued to Maple. The high price paid for the shares should probably offset the dilution to Sprott. Plus, its always good to see a boost of confidence like this from another company.

Nothing jumped out at me. Glad they FINALLY gave some color on RII. I couldn't find anything on them before. Good to hear there is some extra value there. Rather have them understate the asset vs overstate it.
I'm torn on the buyback program. They really have no cash to do it. They'd have to draw on the revolver to do anything sizable. Really hope the can sell UAG in the 2nd half and get some extra cash. They're behind schedule on this though, and its somewhat weak performance doesn't help. Might take longer than expected.
It's good to hear the deal flow is strong, but they'll need some extra funding to do anything. No better time than now to buy distressed assets though.Jul 27, 2015. 08:14 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
I'm no expert when it comes to guessing commodity prices. It's hard to tell. But when oil and coal are at levels where prices are barely above the cost of production, it's hard to imagine things getting much worse. Then again, it might take a few big players going bankrupt, and an extreme decrease in supply before things turn around. I think coal is closer to this point than oil and gas.

SPOXF is Sprott Inc. It's essentially the parent 'Sprott' company. That's who SRC pays its management fees too

Hi Geoffrut,
Thanks for the commentary. Always appreciate it on tricky companies like this.
I did back out SRC's outstanding debt in my valuation, which lowered their EV by the $12mm or so that's outstanding.
While I agree that the company's calculation of NAV is rich, my bear case scenario incorporates a worse case scenario for each investment happening all at the exact same time. It's much more likely that a few end up doing better than expected, and the company trades high.
I don't believe it's purely speculating on oil & gas prices going higher as well. Oil & gas prices can remain completely flat and SRC would still appreciate in value if for instance: OEF continued to grow due to demand in Organic & Natural foods, ICD was able to maintain utilization even in a terrible pricing environment, or Corsa is able to grow by consolidating the coal industry as competitors go bankrupt.
While SRC would certainly benefit from increased oil & gas prices, their value isn't completely tied to that industry, and they could benefit from success in their other investments.
Thanks again for the commentary. Great points.Jul 16, 2015. 09:09 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Let's hope so! I have a feeling it will be harder for management to sell then they think. Hopefully we'll get some good news soon.
Jul 16, 2015. 02:40 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Thanks for the comments Ken.
I see what you mean regarding the NAV. Yes, it's definitely trading at the highest gap in its history, but I think that's primarily because some of the company's valuations on its investments (particularly InPlay and OEOG) are a bit lofty. If they were to lower the pricing tables they used in the reserve supplement, that should probably chop a good chunk off their value. Some others probably warrant a discount as well. I'm curious to see if the make any changes to their valuations in Q2.
UAG is certainly tricky. I tried to dig into them a good amount, but could barely find anything. I'm really curious as to why they backed off their previous IPO. Them going public right now would be a fantastic thing for SRC. Let's hope the mutual funds' valuations on UAG aren't too off the mark either. I knew they have been trying to sell their stake for awhile, so hopefully there's not some negative reason as to why they haven't sold it yet (losing money certainly wouldn't help).
I definitely had a good laugh trying to value those cows!!! In all seriousness though, I think OEF could be huge for them if they pull it off right. It's definitely a growing, and very hard industry to break into, due to all the regulations around Natural and Organic. I think that will play out very well for them in the future.
Thanks again,

Child model?

Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:32 AM
Old member gone anon because I want unbiased opinions.
We were out yesterday when we were approached by the director of a very large and apparently reputable child model agency. He had seen DS1 who is 3.5 and he gave us his card and asked us to think about giving him a call because he thought DS1 had a certain 'look' and might do well. From what I can tell, this agency does not take a huge number of kids so this seems a genuine offer. I do know such an offer is no guarantee of 'work'.
Anyway, I have very very mixed feelings about this. To put it in context, DH and I are both professionals and so money is not a consideration (the kids will get whatever they need for education/sport/music etc without having to 'work for it', if that makes sense (I know some parents put any earrings into an education fund).
So I have real objections to the idea of 'modeling', or my kids being told that the way they look is important. I also have objections to him 'working' at this age.
My only question is whether there is any other benefit or skill to be gained from potentially doing this?
In other words - if anyone on EB can convince me there is any non-financial benefit to this then I'll contact them. Otherwise we'll just put the card in the bin (my first inclination).

Your son might have fun? He might develop a terrific amount of confidence? He might be very good at it which could open a lot of doors for him down the track? Or he could meet some great little friends....

This is what I was thinking... DH is worried it would be more 'sit still and smile for the camera' than 'fun'.
He's not lacking in confidence, LOL!

Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:53 AM
I wouldn't do it. I was approached when DD was a baby, about 10 months old I think - and to be honest the money could've come in handy at that time. But I decided against it as it seemed like a lot of pressure to put such a young child under. Maybe things have changed in the industry since then (this was 10 years ago) but it still gives a strong message that life and their value is all about their looks.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:55 AM
My son has done a photo shoot with a modelling agency.
At first he didn't want to participate and wanted me in the shot area with him. Which we did until he was comfortable and dancing around with big smiles.
By the middle/end of the shoot he was loving it and when we were leaving he was asking for more photos.
So it was a confidence booster for him, which he had fun with.
Each parent was right beside their child, near the photographer.
We won the photo shoot but an agency is interested in his photos. Not sure where I will take that at this point.
Not sure how often Directors would hand out their card randomly, I would thoroughly check out the business. If it was in a supermarket they may have been recruiting for more on their books.
Just to add, for us they definitely made the shoot fun and incorporated toys/skateboards etc. It was all about capturing him having fun, not seated and posed. We arrived at 10:00am and finished around lunch time.

I work in film & TV and sometimes in stills photography/modelling too (as a makeup artist & stylist - not as talent).
I also work with a lot of kids (& their parents!) and have mixed feelings myself.
The are a lot of fabulous parents who keep their modelling/perorming children grounded, in these cases I find its brilliant for the kids to learn to listen to direction, follow instructions etc. their parents are always the ones who are quietly encouraging and say things like "X, are you listening to x" (usually director etc. and in these cases I think it's good for kids. They are constantly meeting new people and having to introduce themselves, behave accordingly, eat new foods for set catering etc. and a lot of them really thrive.
I've seen older kids who are in school tell me that their fee goes into a long term account that they can't access until their are 18 plus but their parents encourage them to take out $50-100 each school holidays and use it for the things they want to do. It makes the kids really have to think hard about whether they want to spend that money and helps them grasp the concept of expenses. So in these cases I think it's really good. Socially aware, helping to behave accordingly in new situations and meet & handle new people and situations which are great life skills.
But then the are the stage parents - and the ones that just drop their kids off and sit in the corner on the iPhone for the day and let the kid run wild whilst the crew try to get them to behave.....don't even get me started on those kids/parents!
Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:12 AM
Gosh I'd give it a go. If its not fun don't do it again.
I think he'd get a kick out of seeing his picture in something and he's not old enough to understand its because of his 'looks' IMO.
Disclaimer: I would be so damn proud I would not be able to say no LOL.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:13 AM
Like all things, I really think it depends on the parent. If you are grounded and doing it for the right reasons and happy to quit if it isn't for you or your child then go for it!
You could even liken it to playing sports or dancing. Some parents are in it for themselves and are full on! Others are doing it because their child enjoys it. Modelling, sport, it's all the same to me. Doing it 'wrong' can damage your child.
I'd also be wary of them asking you to fork out hundreds of dollars to be on their books. If they scouted you let them spend the dough.
(DD5 has did some modelling when she was 4. She loved it. It was just a couple of times and she is not with an agency. If we were asked to do it again I would say yes. We had fun. As soon as it wasn't fun or became an issue though it would cease.)

Yep this too. Having said that my cousin was approached (as a teenager) on a beach in Scotland and ended up with his face (an abs LOL) on billboards and buses in London and enough money to pay for uni.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:21 AM
My nephew was a child model. He's in his 20's now but as a kid did a few TV commercials plus heaps of print media. He really loved it and had a lot of fun.
My friends son is a current TV model/actor. He gets heaps of work and really loves it. He's six and has been modelling since he was a toddler. My friend really likes it. She said the kids are looked after and the day is usually fun for them. She still has control over what he does and doesn't do. She turned down a major role in a mini series he was offered because there was a scene where he'd have to be breastfed (simulated of course) and she was worried about the teasing factor. Ultimately, the parents still get to keep control. If it were me I'd look into it further. You can always decline later on.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:30 AM
I've got ideological issues with my own children modelling. At the risk of sounding like a braggart but saying anyway, my daughter, in particular, is a 'head-turner'. We're told weekly she "should be modelling" and "daddy better get the shotgun ready" (my biggest stomach turner), but there is no way I would have her model. I don't think it would be healthy for her to align her self-worth to her looks any more than she does.
So for me, modelling is a no-no. DH has a different opinion to me, and would not be opposed to modelling.
HOWEVER, that's my ideological issue - I truly couldn't say I'd turn down the chance, if it happened to fall in my lap, to set aside some potential to build a nest egg.
It's a hard one, actually.

It was at St Kilda beach - we walked past a sw**ky restaurant on our way to grab some sandwiches and have a picnic on the beach and someone waved at DS as he 'pranced' past, and DS waved back. We sat down maybe 100 metres from the restaurant to have lunch, and this guy came up to us 20 minutes later to say he'd seen (and waved at) DS when we walked past, and so he'd come down to give us his card. He also said that, apart from his 'look', it was as much about DS's personality and how he came across (whatever that means - can you tell in such a short time?)
It is a very large and well known agency. The director is a sole director and is also well known.
Thanks everyone for your replies and positive stories.
I guess the other thing that weighs heavily is the time commitment from us... I work full time and DH does 3-4 days/week - and the days he is free we do all the other things that DS loves - gymnastics, soccer, trips to the museum and zoo... He gets so much from all this other stuff and this is why I'd really want to be convinced of some benefit to him before we all put effort into it.
Thanks again - keep the stories coming!

Well, this is it... I never would have submitted him for such a thing myself (sure I think he's cute and has a vibrant personality, but so does every parent). And I've always shook my head at suggestions that 'he should model!' (not that many people have said that). But... to have someone actually walk up and give you their card does make you wonder. We all make decisions for our kids - and it kind of feels like I would be turning down an opportunity because of my own beliefs (even though I know that's a perfectly good reason to turn something down).
Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:02 AM
Have you asked your son if he is interested in giving it a go?
Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:04 AM
I have had a similar experience (daughter not son).
We were also approached by a director and my daughter did a couple of jobs but it was just too hard time wise. We both work full time so it meant we had to take days off work for her to do it. The short notice for some jobs was also a problem.
My daughter had fun. If I didn't work we would probably do it again.
I had some of the same concerns about the focus on looks but then again talent agents have a wide range of kids on their books. Its not just good looks that get you work, it's personality, having something unusual about their appearance, ability to act, ability to take direction...

Yes, but he's 3.5... What does he know? It might be meaningful to ask him after we'd done it once to see if he enjoyed it, but when I say "would you like to go somewhere and play while someone takes photos" he's just like "yeah, that sounds fun", which is pretty much his standard response for anything he doesn't know anything about...

When I was in QLD I was approached about my eldest child. I just took it as a compliment and didn't think much further because we were on holiday and he'd never be able to pursue that in Tas.
If it was a serious option though I'd let my kid try it out and if they seemed unhappy just pull out of it.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 06:52 PM
My nephew did some modelling as a toddler. He had fun, but my sister found it quite time consuming especially for the money she got in return. He was in a couple of target catalogues, and from memory earnt less than $100 per shoot. Other jobs may be more worthwhile, but it seemed to take most of the day for little reward.

I was approached after my son appeared in a published photo book, it all sounded great except we had to be at castings at relatively short notice and quite a hike away. Although I was only working 3days a week at the time, i couldn't guarantee castings would fall on my days off so we opted out before it began really. If you have the time then why not?

We are ttc our second bub. It is our second month & last month we had a very early misscarriage. I POAS this morning (period due Thursday... Naughty me!!) and I think there is a very faint line. DH says its probably nothing but there is clearly a line (& it's pink). The picture doesn't show it well but I'm sure it's there...

It's definitely there.

I'm generally shocking at seeing the lines in these threads, but that's as clear as day to me

That looks like quite a strong line to me... does your DH need glasses???

I think I can see a line. The obvious pink line looks too far away from the control line to me, but there is another line in thwack ground? Maybe I'm wrong though?
ETA the strong line that I can see looks like the edge of the dip stick area.

I think you might be looking at the edge of the strip not the faint line. The lie is further to the right (I think!)
Thanks all, I thought it was clear but DH is making me wonder if I'm losing my marbles & seeing things lol

Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:43 AM
That's a positive! Congrats!!
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:47 AM
I think I might go & buy one of those digital ones that says "pregnant" he can't argue with that!! Would that be positive at this stage or is it too early? This is a lullaby conceptions test (online).
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:50 AM
I think I'd sit tight and do a FR or digital on or after AF is due.
edit for typo
Edited by SensibleSis, 29 December 2012 - 11:51 AM.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:51 AM
I can definitely see a faint pink line!
I'd wait a few more days before doing a digital one as they seem to be a bit less sensititve. A FR instream test would probably give you a clearer pink line though Make sure you post any other tests you do, looks positive to me!

Yep I can definitely see a faint line in there! Congratulations OP
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:52 AM
I'm no expert, but would think maybe too early - I'd wait a few days before using a digital (maybe until after AF is due), so you don't waste your money. Maybe use the Lullaby ones & see if they get darker.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:32 PM
I can definitely see a faint line! Congratulations!
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:49 PM
I can see a faint line in all 3 photos
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:53 PM
every one of those photos are positives congrats!
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:17 PM
Because I'm impatient (& DH still didn't believe me as some people couldn't see lines lol) I went & got a first response...
I am definitely not imagining that line
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:22 PM
Such a line, indeed Congratulations!
Posted 29 December 2012 - 01:24 PM
congrats OP!

About the ManufacturerThe goal of Blu Dot is to bring good design to as many people as possible, which means creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. To make that happen, their design process is founded on collaboration. Not just among themselves, as they play show-and-tell with concepts, but a total collaboration between pencil and paper, materials and machines, even packaging and assembly. Blu Dot's designers like to think that the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Their job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible. brbr Blu Dot was formed by three college friends - John Christakos, Charles Lazor, and Maurice Blanks, who shared a passion for art, architecture, and design. After they left college and began to furnish their first homes, they didn't like the stuff they could afford and couldn't afford the stuff they liked. They figured they were not alone and were naïve enough to try and do something about it. Blu Dot was born in 1997. Since then, the idea that good design is not just about beauty or form - it should also be about making everyone's lives just a little easier and a little more enjoyable.

text: August 16, 2014 Leave a comment 5 apps that will make you say 'Wow!' By Kim Komando 37,66237.6k photo courtesy of SHUTTERSTOCK If you can dream it, there is an app for that. There are approximately 1.2 million apps in the Apple store and, interestingly, just about the same number in the Google Play store that powers Android gadgets. Much like any other crowd, there are certain ones that stand out. They challenge the norm. People who think outside the box created them. I've created list of the latest apps that use your smartphone or tablet in a way you can hardly believe. -advertisement- Instant language translator One of the biggest obstacles to travel is the language barrier. I've often wished for the universal translator from Star Trek. Amazingly, we're almost there. The free Google Translate app for iOS and Android can translate 80 languages. That covers the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, much of Asia, major African dialects, the Middle East and even countries in the South Pacific like Indonesia. The app is very versatile. You can speak, type or hand write a phrase and then choose the language to translate to. In the Android version, it can even translate text in photos, so figuring out menu items is as easy as taking a picture. The app does require an Internet connection, so if you are traveling abroad, make sure you have a working data plan or a Wi-Fi connection. Find free Wi-Fi anywhere with this cool app. The Android version does allow you to download language packs for offline use, but the results are pretty limited. There is an alternative way to communicate. On both Apple and Android, you can save translations to the phrasebook so you can pull them up quickly, even offline.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Even with Grant Hill on the bench with a
sore wrist, this was the type of total team effort the Orlando
Magic have sought all season.
"We had lot of people really step up and make huge plays for us
on both ends," Orlando coach Johnny Davis said after the Magic
rallied to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 115-111 on Saturday night.
Hedo Turkoglu scored 22 points and Dwight Howard added 21 to
lead six players in double figures. Only Pat Garrity, with 13 of
his 18 points in a 4½-minute stretch of the second quarter, took
over the game at any time.
Other than that, everyone helped carry the load. In Orlando's
game-ending 12-2 run, five players scored.
"For being short-handed and needing everyone to step up, I
thought they did a nice job of that," Davis said.
The 76ers' collapse was reminiscent their loss at Detroit a week
ago. In that game, Philadelphia led by five with 1:58 remaining,
only to lose 99-95 after the Pistons reeled off seven unanswered
"All of these losses hurt," said Allen Iverson, whose 38
points were his most since sitting out a game two weeks ago with an
ankle sprain. "It doesn't matter if it is one point or 30
With 2:02 left to play, Iverson's jumper put Orlando in a
109-103 hole.
"Who else is playing better than he is right now?" asked
teammate Kyle Korver, who scored eight of his 16 points in the
fourth quarter. "He's our leader and he's our heart. We just keep
calling on him."
Jameer Nelson sparked the comeback with two steals, cashed in
for three free throws, cutting the deficit to a point. Nelson had
seven steals, one short of the franchise record, to go with his 12
Orlando had a season-high 14 steals.
"Defense, that's my main focus," said Nelson, whose 31 minutes
were a season best. "We've got a lot of guys who can put the ball
in the hole."
Orlando took the lead on Steve Francis' putback with 24.6
seconds to go. He had 14 points, nearly eight below his average, on
4-of-14 shooting.
On Philadelphia's final three possessions, Iverson threw a pass
off the rim, then Corliss Williamson missed short shots and the
Magic rebounded both.
"We had 62 points in the paint and we should've had 102, with
all the point-blank misses we had, including the last ones,"
Philadelphia coach Jim O'Brien said. "They just didn't go down."
The Magic won despite tying a season worst with 12 missed free
throws (35-for-47) and committing 22 turnovers -- but only one in
the final 14½ minutes.
Philadelphia trailed by 15 in the first half, but rode Samuel
Dalembert to take an 85-84 lead. After picking up his fifth foul
midway through the third quarter, he seemed to find a spark.
Over the next eight minutes, Dalembert had 14 points, six
rebounds and a pair of blocks.
"Believe it or not, we were trying to go at Dalembert -- he was
just blocking the guy's shots," Davis said. "We went at him three
or four plays straight. He had a fantastic defensive game."
Dalembert finished with a career high-tying 24 points, a
season-best 16 rebounds and four blocks.
"We need to have a number of games where Sammy gets that many
rebounds and where we find him around the basket," O'Brien said.
"It's what we've been hoping for all year."
This was a matchup of two of the league's faster-paced squads,
with the offenses in overdrive and the defenses in retreat. Orlando
opened the game shooting 9-of-11 while Philadelphia got 24 of its
36 first-quarter points in the paint.
Game notes
Philadelphia's Kenny Thomas left the game with 5:22
remaining after he was bloodied by Howard's elbow striking him near
the left eye. He took seven stitches in the brow. ... Orlando has
beaten Philadelphia 25 times in 32 home games ... Magic reserve
center Andrew DeClercq (flu) also missed the game. ... The game was
a sellout, Orlando's fourth of the season.

Penn State completed national signing day with no surprises, with 19 players submitting signed letters of intent to become part of the Nittany Lions' freshman Class of 2012.
Penn State received letters from every player who was expected to sign. No player made a last-minute change of heart toward another school, and the Nittany Lions did not hear from anyone who made a sudden decision to go to Penn State.
The Lions ended up signing five defensive linemen, four wide receivers, three defensive backs, two offensive linemen, two tight ends, one linebacker, one running back and one quarterback.
The quarterback is 6-foot-2, 200-pound Steven Bench of Cairo, Ga. Bench, who carried a 3.86 grade-point average, is a quarterback "who's very accurate and can process information quickly," according to running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Charles London.

The ODT has a story about rumours that Labour MP Clare Curran may stand for the Dunedin mayoralty.
Mayoral hopes verified, denied
The fog of war is descending as Dunedin's mayoral aspirants jockey for position a year out from local body elections.
While some candidates are already putting their hands up for the top job, including Cr Andrew Whiley, others, including sitting Mayor Dave Cull, are continuing to play their cards close to their chests.
But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill kicking into high gear in Dunedin. Much of the early attention is focused on one woman _ Clare Curran.
Ms Curran, Labour's sitting Dunedin South MP, has been linked to a tilt for the Dunedin mayoralty by a variety of sources speaking to the Otago Daily Times.
She sounds like an unlikely candidate for Mayor.
The rumour is said to have come from inside Ms Curran's office, although she vehemently denied the "mischievous" suggestion when contacted.
"You will not see my name on the ballot paper next [local body] election.
"I'm the MP for Dunedin South. I've got a job."
As far as political denials go that's a strongish one.
Political commentator Bryce Edwards, of the University of Otago's politics department, said a mayoral bid by Ms Curran "sounds unbelievable", but Labour was "going through some quite serious reorganisation".
Declining support for Labour in Dunedin South during the last two general elections could "absolutely" mean Ms Curran was a candidate for change, as the party looked to renew itself, he believed.
"No doubt there will be some MPs that are having pressure applied to them to move on. It's entirely feasible Clare Curran is one of those people.
"Questions are being asked within Labour about the ability of incumbent MPs to hold their party vote up. That's the real measure that the party is judging all of their incumbents on."
Ms Curran's name recognition and profile would give her "a strong shot" at Dunedin's mayoralty, and she would also follow in the footsteps of some prominent Labour colleagues, Dr Edwards said.
It needs more than name recognition, although David Benson-Pope was elected to council in 2011, presumably more on name than reputation as a failed MP.
Curran just seems like an unlikely mayor to me.
But her future in Labour doesn't look great.

I've got lightly tanned olive skin and this stuff looks ultra-natural on me -- because it's translucent and can be built up to whatever your limit, it really does work to look flattering on any skin tone. The trick is to gently wipe your fingers over the blush, enough to get a bit of colour on them, and then rub them against each other to warm the pigment. I apply it by wiping my fingers against the skin in a concentric motion, gradually building up the pressure -- this lets me aim my fingers and put down the pigment exactly where I want it, and then the added pressure with whatever pigment remains on my fingers makes sure that it blends in really well. I put a little bit on the sides of my nose, just above my upper lip, and on the underside of my chin (using the same movement that you'd use to make an offensive jesture!) -- that really makes all the difference. My only complaint -- and this seems to happen no matter the blusher I'm using, so it could easily be my own fault -- is that the color seems to fade within minutes of applying it. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Either I need to give up with cream blushes or this one simply didn't work for me. Why do I find this so hard to blend? I love highly pigmented powder blushes, but I think cream needs to be sheerer to look natural and be easy to apply. So this one was just too concentrated for me. I will try a couple other cream blushes and decide if I need to stick with powder.

This is my favorite cream blush by NARS. Lokuom is a lovely coral shade infused with gold micro-glitter, it gives me a warm flush. I use Paula Dorf's Cream Cheek Brush for application of all my cream blushes. My favorite lip colors with Lokoum are Chanel's Aqualumiere in Tahiti for coral lips or Chanel's Aqualumiere in Ipanema for nude lips. The formulation of NARS cream blush is cream to powder, blends easily and stays on all day. I highly recommend this as I believe it would be pretty on most skin tones.

I'm fair but with ruddy skin, dark hair, hazel eyes. This blush was perfect for me this summer, when I had a bit of a tan. Surprisingly, it still looks good now that it's winter, esp when layered with some Sin on top to kind of natural-ize the color. texture is lovely, easy to blend, just slippy enough but not too greasy. I do love NARS blushes.
Only gave 4 instead of 5 b/c it does seem to fade more quickly than their straight-up powder blushes. **NOTE: IF YOU LIKE NARS BLUSHES, YOU'LL LOVE SHU UEMURA BLUSHES. I JUST REMOVED ALL NARS BLUSHES FROM MAKEUP BAG AFTER GOING ON SHU BLUSH BINGE. SOO MUCH MORE NATURAL LOOKING--AND LONGER LASTING.

I am always reluctant to buy a cream blush for my somewhat oily skin but this one from Nars is just simply divine. It looks totally natural, is easy to apply, and leaves behind a subtle gold sparkle. I think it should be called Heavenly! If I ever use it up I would definitely buy again!

I love this color! It works very well on a variety of skin types and colors. I am very fair and it blends beautifully and looks sheer and natural on me, and is even buildable at night. I have also used it on several friends and it looks great on everyone of them. Definately would recommend.

I got this in a great swap and I love it!! It is very blendable and has a nice color, it looks dark in the pan but it goes on slightly sheer with a little bit of sparkle. The kind of warm red that you get when you've had a little too much sun, very natural! It dries to a powder finish like most cream blushes do, some look greasy, this one leaves a only very slight sheen.

Nice cream blush. The shade is quite pretty and soft, yet I can still see it on my tanned skin.
I got this in a swap and I will continue to use it again until it is finished, but I wouldn't purchase again because I think NARS is too expensive and I could find a comparable cream blush for much cheaper, but I am sure it will last forever anyways.

Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

Absolutly LOVE it!! It is my first cream blush, as my skin is combo, but really oily in summer and I always thought that cream blushes wouldn't last on my cheeks.
I got this from a great swap, and it impressed me. The color looks strong, with golden sparkles. I pat it over my cheeks and it just melts on my skin giving me a healthy color - I would say a mix between peach and subtle red.
As for the packaging, I must give it 5 lippies as I can carry it on my bag for retouch without any fear that the powder can break. A complete must!

"This is the second year in a row that I've stayed at this house. GREAT House. Very clean!"Guest: Jay G. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: October 1, 2015View listing
"This cabin was everything the owner said and more! If you're looking to get away and have that north woods feel while only being minutes from your house this is the place to come. The cabin is very private and has a beautiful lake view. Everything that you need to enjoy your stay was already there from wood for the fire pit to pots pans and dishes for cooking. The owner was very helpful in getting us setup and giving us directions to the island and making sure we had everything we needed. My wife and I enjoyed the two days we spent there and the only problem was not having more time! I would recommend this cabin to a couple looking to get away and relax or a family that wants to enjoy lake living for a weekend"Guest: Claus Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 17, 2015View listing
"We couldn't have found a nicer place for 12 of us. The main house has 4 bedrooms and the guest house next door had room for the other 4. We enjoyed the gorgeous house and all of the quality items that were included in both places. The owner called to make sure that everything was perfect. It was wonderful for me to enjoy the time with my children, spouses, and grandchildren. They all want to come again next year."Guest: Audrey Z. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 10, 2015View listing
"Our family so enjoyed this lovely home on the lake. The home, oh my! Gorgeous old home with lovely high ceilings and amazing living space for everyone to hang out and visit. This is an old home, if you are looking for new this is not the home for you. However if you enjoy the ambiance and true loveliness of an almost 100 year old home come soak in the atmosphere. I must say the kitchen is completely modern, we made a wedding cake while we were there and the Viking oven was awesome! The lake is right down the walk way, don't worry about dessert, the trek back up the walk will work that all off. This truly was an awesome home and we have raved to all of our friends since we have been home!"Guest: rlaj Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 27, 2015View listing

Paris 101
That waiter over there? Yeah, he's judging you.
Paris leaves an impression on everyone, from students perfecting their langue française to tourists who wonder why the French don't pronounce half the consonants in each word. This city has been home to countless films, daydreams, and kings named Louis, and it easily destroys all diets with its arsenal of buttery croissants and delicate pastries. Nearly everyone in the world idealizes Paris, whether it's for the Eiffel Tower, the intellectual literary cafes, or the impossibly chic and be-scarfed denizens of the city. But don't let yourself be disillusioned by ideals—yes, everyone is in love with Paris, but this place can be rough. When you get Englished for the first time (when your mangled French inquiry is interrupted with an English response), you'll start to realize that your Converse won't cut it after all and that maybe you should have paid more attention in French class. Paris will charm and bitchslap you with equal gusto, but don't get too le tired—think of it as a gentle form of Parisian hazing. Once you learn your way around the narrow, cobblestoned streets and nail down your merci, beaucoup, Paris will be more spectacular than ever. Some tiny corner of it will be yours in memory and experience, whether it's admiring a painting in an empty room at the Louvre (they exist), listening to the bells of Notre Dame chime as you sit by the Seine, sunbathing in the gorgeous Jardin du Luxembourg, or biting into your first Nutella banana crêpe. Slow down and don't worry about how well you're fitting in—this city is big and captivating enough for everyone to claim their little slice.

10 Tips for a Cheap Solo Weekend in Paris
Subtitled: the blind leading the blind; I actually spent 175 Euro but I wouldn't have had I done the metro better and bought fewer pastries.
Yes, look at hostel prices, but also look at the online reviews of hostel breakfasts. If it's good, it will add value. If it's not good, you'll effectively pay twice for breakfast. Which brings us to…
Eat only two meals a day. Maybe this won't work unless you're a small human like me, but I had to choose between quality and quantity and opted for the former. I ate hostel […]
Extreme Budget Travel: Day 1 in Paris
Paris has been covered on this blog/site/everywhere else in the universe, and since everyone covering it is more knowledgeable/competent than I, I'm going to take this time not to talk about sights, but to out myself as an extreme budget traveler.
I am an extreme budget traveler (let's repeat this). This is honestly part of the reason why I am studying abroad in Morocco and not a more traditional place. The last time my family traveled through Europe (Germany, Italy, and Austria) was when I was 12 and we lived in Scotland, and we spent our entire time eating the cheapest […]
Break it Down Now: The Parisian Metro
Sure, your French may be a bit rusty, and everyone looks like they stepped out of a magazine, but don't be intimidated—the key to the heart of any city is through its symbolic, underground stomach.
Save your monies for those buttery croissants and travel through Paris like a native. Maybe you'll get lost on the way, or maybe you'll end up sitting next to a sweet French boy (or maybe we watch too many rom-coms).
In any case, riding the Metro will save you time and money, and Paris has one of the fastest and most convenient systems around. With over 300 […]
Save it For the Alcohol: Food Budgeting in Paris
Food is a tricky area for a budget traveler—when should you splurge on an expensive restaurant? Are you missing out if you don't try the world-famous chocolate? Isn't stuffing yourself with pain au chocolat part of the "cultural experience?" Well for that, yes, yes it is.
But believe it or not, there are parts of the French cuisine that you can skip over to save some of your precious bling.
I'm not saying don't eat cheese. I'm saying that there are cheaper ways to consume cheese than ordering a platter for €20. If you're a total cheese noob—it's OK, we promise we […]
Fashion Killas: French Edition
You're a tourist in Paris. You will be judged.
This is inevitable, but guess what? You're in effing Paris, so we don't feel too bad for you. As a tourist, you'll stand out the first few days: you'll wrinkle your brow over your map, take the same predictable photos at the Eiffel Tower, and after looking around, suddenly realize that you are, in fact, the only person wearing a T-shirt and sneakers.
But maybe, just maybe, one day you'll learn to blend into the Parisian streets so well that another lost tourist will come up to you and ask for directions. When […]
Giverny: A Great Day Trip from the City of Light
Ah, Paris! The food! The winding streets! The gothic architecture! The abundant green space! Like the Sinatra tune suggests, Paris is a truly lovable city, and one that has something for everyone to enjoy and appreciate.
As lovely as Paris is, the RER and other train lines are quite easy to navigate (this is coming from an American who drives everywhere, so you know it's easy), allowing the rest of France to be easily accessible. A day trip away from Paris allows you to unwind and relax from the bustling streets of the capital, and introduces you to a different aspect of French […]
