Mike McG's Special Tips for Valentine's Day!
These Roses ARE Good as Gold!
Roses?! Ha! Here's the REAL Romantic Flower
...Or how about a flower so hot it should come Rated 'R'?
And if roses it MUST be, make them LAST!
...Or better yet, make those roses grow MORE bouquets!
First, locate a willow tree. (Willow stems contain a natural rooting hormone that will help insure success, and besides, its a great old wives tale kind of thing.) Take along a big bucket and cut as many fresh twigs from the willow as you can, hopefully, you'll get the bucket half to three-quarters full (cut the twigs into tiny pieces before you add water). Then take it home and fill it to the top with cold water and then let it sit for a good 24 hours (as opposed to a bad 24 hours). Try and time this to when you'll receive your flowers; otherwise put your 'cold willow water tea' in sealed glass jars in the fridge (or a cold corner of the cellar). When your get your roses, cut the flowers off with 2 to 3" of stem attached. (I know, I know, but it won't work if you don't.) Fill a nice cut glass bowl with glass marbles and water and then arrange the cut flowers on top of this (hey, lookame! I'm Martha Bad Word Stewart!). It looks very nice and you can still enjoy the blooms for just as long, so stop whining. Now cut about an inch or so off the bottoms of the flower-free canes and immediately put them in a vase filled with six inches or so of the willow water. Let them soak for at least 12 but not more than 24 hours. While they're soaking prepare the 'soil' you'll try and root your plants in, a nice loose mix of roughly one part each of vermiculite, perlite, peat and finished compost. You can use garden soil if you must, but try and bum some compost first if you don't got none.
OK, take the stems out of their soaking water and cut off all the leaves except for the very top set. Get a nice big pot, big enough to hold three or four of the cuttings, and fill it part way up with your nice loose, rooting mix. Now arrange three or four of the stems around the edge of this pot, making sure a couple of bud eyes are underground on each (they're the things what will actually root) and then fill up the pot with soil (don't fill it up first and then try and jam the stems in). Now water it all well with more of the willow water and make the put a mini greenhouse by suspending a plastic bag over top (rig up something with one of them useless little tomato cages or bend some wire hangers or sumptin') or by making a nice rigid cover out of one of those clear gallon sized spring water jugs (cut the bottom out to fit the pot; keep the lid and put it back on). You want it to stay nice and moist in there. You always want to see water beaded up on the inside of your cover.
Put it in a bright and/or sunny spot, mist it frequently and keep the soil wet, keep using willow water for both misting and watering. Be sure and water all the time. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF BASIC HOUSE PLANT ADVICE, DON'T LET THIS SOIL DRY OUT!
It'll take about six weeks for you to know how you did. Green growth will begin to appear on the canes you've successfully rooted. Keep that soil moist, very important at this stage. But you can take the covers off once the new growth appears. Slowly start to cut back a bit on the watering. Eventually, water like house plants, once a week. Four months after you see that new growth appear, it's safe to transplant the canes, now real rose plants, outside. Pick a nice, well drained spot for each of your new plants, one that gets lots of air circulation and morning sun. If your soil is really bad, consider creating a nice little 'island' of that potting mix to get your babies going strong. Oh, and continue using willow water as much as you can.
If all goes well, you might even get some roses that first year. Definitely a full flush the next. Expect to achieve success with three to six canes from each dozen attempted.

Record total number U.S. taxpayers renounce citizenship in 2013
A record number of U.S. taxpayers renounced their citizenship or green cards in 2013, according to new data.
Each quarter the U.S. Treasury publishes the names of the Americans who officially expatriated during that period. In the last quarter of 2013, 630 people renounced their citizenship or relinquished their green cards, added to the previous 2013 quarters (2,369 people), brining the total for 2013 to 2,999.
According to Andrews Mitchel, an international tax attorney who tracks the expatriations at his International Tax Blog, the 2,999 amount represented a 221 percent increase over the 932 total in 2012 — and "shatters" the previous record of 1,781 set in 2011.
Mitchel points to three possible reasons for the increase in expatriations last year.
"Increased awareness of the obligation to file U.S. tax returns by U.S. citizens and U.S. tax residents living outside the U.S.," he writes. "The ever-increasing burden of complying with U.S. tax laws; and [t]he fear generated by the potentially bankrupting penalties for failure to file U.S. tax returns when an individual holds substantial non-U.S. assets. The increase in expatriations may also be partly due to a 2008 change in the expatriation rules."

There are no funds available for 2003 and beyond.
What is the Hometown Indiana grant program?
The Hometown Indiana Grant Program Act was established in 1988 by the Indiana General Assembly and became effective on July 1 of that year. The program is a state matching assistance program that provides grants for 50% of the costs for the acquisition and/or development of recreation sites and facilities, historic preservation and urban forestry.
Where are funds from?
Appropriations to finance the Hometown Indiana Grant Program are determined every two years by the General Assembly. The biennial allotment is divided among the Department of Natural Resource's Division of Outdoor Recreation, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, and the Division of Forestry who respectively administer parks and recreation, historic preservation and forestry grants.
How is funding received?
Since Hometown Indiana is a reimbursing program, the project sponsor does not receive the grant funds at the time an application is approved. The sponsor must have the local matching 50% of the project cost available prior to application, and they are then reimbursed 50% of the actual cost of the project.
What are local sources of funding?
State funds must be matched with at least 50% of the total project cost from the local sponsor. The local match may consist of budget appropriations; bond issues; loans; private donations of equipment, materials, land and cash; and force account contributions of equipment and labor.
Grant funding amounts.
The Hometown Indiana grant applicants may request amounts ranging from a minimum of $10,000 up to a maximum of $200,000. Application deadlines for the park and recreation category of Hometown Indiana are still to be determined. Applications will be available upon request from the Division of Outdoor Recreation once the grant round has been established.
Who is eligible?
To be eligible for the park and recreation category of the Hometown Indiana grant program you must be a municipal corporation as defined by Indiana Code, and have an up-to-date five year park and recreation master plan, or a comprehensive plan which includes parks and recreation development. The comprehensive plan must meet the same criteria as a park and recreation master plan. Either document must be approved and on file at the Division of Outdoor Recreation prior to approval of the Hometown Indiana grant application.
Who administers the program?
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources administers the three elements of the Hometown Indiana grant program through its Division of Outdoor Recreation, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, and the Division of Forestry.
What types of projects may be funded?
Grant applications for the park and recreation category may consist of land acquisition and/or facility construction or renovation. Both indoor and outdoor recreation facilities are eligible for the Hometown Indiana program funding assistance. Eligible types of development include:
All facilities should be universally designed for persons with disabilities and the Park board's facilities, programs and activities must be open to the public without discrimination on the basis of race, color, national, origin, age or handicap.
How do I apply?
The HI manual serves as the guidelines and application. Please use this document to complete your application. The appendix has all the forms needed to apply. If you want to know more about the Hometown grant or to receive the application/guidelines, contact…

In the final seconds, Tyrone Corbin was reduced to a simple fan. Everyone was, including all Jazz players but one. All eyes were on Mo Williams, as he dribbled, two bounces per second, the precious seconds disappearing.
Corbin watched his point guard, then glanced at the clock as it ticked from six seconds toward none.
"Watching the clock," Corbin said, "and watching Mo."
Finally, a frustrated fan, yelled, "Mo!"
And the Jazz point guard, also frustrated by his performance, called his own name, too.
Williams swished a 26-foot 3-pointer as time expired, lifting the Jazz (13-10) to a 99-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs, giving Utah the hallmark win of an uneven young season, toppling the team with the NBA's best record.
The Jazz handed the Spurs (18-5) just their third road loss of the season, and defeated San Antonio for just the second time in their last 13 games, including last year's first-round playoff sweep.
This time, though, the Jazz overcame both a 10-point deficit in the first quarter and an eight-point hole with 4:09 remaining in the game.
With five of their next six games on the road where they are 4-9 the Jazz have now won four in a row, including back-to-back victories over the Los Angeles Lakers and the Spurs. Williams, who has forced many late-game shots this season, missed an off-balance jumper with nine seconds remaining that would have put the Jazz up 98-96. However, Paul Millsap responded with the biggest of his 12 rebounds (he also led the Jazz with 24 points), earning the Jazz an extra, final possession.
"That won the game, to be honest," Williams said. "Give them the ball with 10 seconds to go, no telling what they will draw up over there to give themselves a chance to do it."
Williams finished with just eight points, struggling to a 3-of-9 shooting performance. He had just 1-of-4 shooting for 3-pointers.
But they'll be talking about the one for quite some time around here.
"We all knew he was going to take it after he missed that last one," Hayward said. "Knew he was going to step up and shoot it with confidence. We had faith in him, and he knocked it down."
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich put the blame squarely on his defender, 6-foot-6 forward Danny Green.
"That's a huge defensive error," he said. "What do you think a guy is going to do with 2 seconds left on the clock? You make him drive. You don't step back on Mo Williams."
While Green drew scorn, Tim Duncan shone. The Spurs' Hall of Fame lock scored 22 points, grabbed 21 rebounds and blocked five shots.
"I hate to have Tim have a game like that and lose at the end," Popovich said.
Millsap led the Jazz with 24 points and 12 rebounds while Al Jefferson added 21 points and Gordon Hayward scored 19 off the bench.
Hayward's biggest contributions came in the fourth quarter, when he made a pair of 3-pointers that cut the Spurs' lead to 85-82 and 93-88.
Tony Parker scored 22 points for the Spurs, including 10 in the third quarter to get the Spurs back in the game.
The ending was validation for Williams, who missed vital shots late in losses at Boston and against the Clippers.
"I'll always be confident down the stretch," Williams said. "Even the ones I missed Boston's one that sticks out I'll still be confident."
Williams said the moment slowed down for him just as it sped up for everyone else.
Remember "watching the clock and watching Mo"? Corbin was quickly snapped out of his back-and-forth scenario as the moment became "watch the ball go through the basket as the clock went off and watch him run down the court with his hands up in the air."
"It was tremendous, man," Corbin said.
R Mo Williams is just 1-of-4 shooting from 3-point range, but makes the game-winner as time expires.
• Tim Duncan leads the Spurs with 22 points and 21 rebounds.
• The Jazz beat the Spurs for just the second time in the teams' last 13 matchups.

GSA Issues Energy Management and Support Services Contract
October 29, 2008
Contact: Robert Lesino (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today a new GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract providing energy management support services for federal agencies.
The contract provides support services to meet Presidential initiatives to strengthen environmental, energy and transportation conservation goals.
On Jan. 24, 2007, President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13423, setting goals in the areas of energy efficiency, acquisition, renewable energy, reducing toxics, recycling, renewable energy, sustainable buildings, electronics stewardship, fleets, and water conservation. In addition, the order requires more widespread use of environmental management systems as the framework to manage and continually improve these sustainable practices.
"EO 13423 was a tremendous step toward environmental responsibility governmentwide," said Tyree Varnado, Acting Commissioner for GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. "At GSA, we continue to strive to make it easier for all government agencies to comply. GSA's affiliated contractors can provide the services and expertise needed to facilitate energy management in government buildings, ranging from preliminary energy audits to comprehensive full-service energy management solutions."
All contractors on the contract have undergone an offer and award evaluation process, as well as a compliance review related to various labor laws and socio-economic considerations. As a result, ordering agencies don't have to repeat these steps.
Energy management support services offered under this schedule contract include:
• Energy Audit Services
• Energy Management Program Support, Planning and Strategies
• Water Audits, Management and Conservation Solutions
• Resource Efficiency Management and Training
• Innovative Renewable Energy Solutions
• Building Commissioning Services
• Metering and Advanced Metering Services
The contract makes it faster and easier to develop "green" buildings that rate favorably with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, as designated by the U.S. Green Building Council.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and manage
Did You Know? An Environmental Specialty Category has been added to GSAAdvantage!® online shopping experience. The Environmental Specialty Category allows federal buyers with direct access to our variety of product
offerings that contain environmental attributes, including energy efficient products.

Thread: remember to keep this in mind
remember to keep this in mind
Fans, let's try and remember the following. Quoting Coach Billick, in referring to Steve McNair:
"I understand the fans' anxieties ... but this man has been an incredible athlete and an incredible force in the NFL," Billick said. "He's been a class act from Day One. I hope people keep that in mind in the way that they deal with him."
Re: remember to keep this in mind
Wise words and a timely reminder.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: remember to keep this in mind
If Billick is referring to booing him, I agree with him. I don't like booing our players. McNair should be commended for being a gutsy & tough player throughout his career, including his injury-marred stint with the Ravens. And I have to commend Steve for his post-game statements this week, accepting the inevitable benching decision before the new phantom injury.
However, I'll reserve judgement on how "classy" he is until D-Day comes up on cutting him next year. Will he show class by gracefully retiring to mitigate the damage to our cap? Or just force the Ravens to cut him, screwing our ability to buy needed free agent help, and just keep all the $11 million bonus .....
:(In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: remember to keep this in mind
Aww C'mon Ted...You know the NFL is a business first. Why would any shrude business person settle for less money? Bottom line is that the NFL stands for "Not For Long" and this means that the players are almost compelled to do what's best for their wallets and not for the teams, who look at them a peices of meat anyhow.

Re: remember to keep this in mind
I'm no Mcnair fan, but I can't blame him for being overpaid and keeping the money. Ozzie should have known the guy was done. The Titans sure knew it. Thank God Ozzie is only a GM and not a hostage negotiator. At least this way he can only be responsible for bad contracts and not dead bodies. The guy couldn't negotiate a one way street.

Re: remember to keep this in mind
Honestly, the booing of McNair was a means to an end. I don't wish that on him, but the fans needed to voice that a change was desired. Needed.
Now that the change has been made, I thank McNair for what he did for this team for 2006, on the field and off. But like for all players, the end has to come, and his time is up.
its a shame that physically he fell apart so quickly. But with that style of play, what can you do.
Only thing about McNair is that I never heard he was a workout warrior. I didn't hear him at the gym tyring to lift and get ready. During the offseason, he was in Tennesse and not Baltimore. Maybe with the right vitamins and supplements, or something, he might have held up.
But its over now. Thanks for the memories, except the bad ones over his last 8 games or so.

Re: remember to keep this in mind
Should McNair be booed as he's being replaced in the game? No. But should he be booed when he fumbles the second time in the same game? Hell YES!!! It sends a message to everyone involved with the team, from the players to Bisciotti, that his play is unacceptable and he shouldn't be the starter.....
Do I admire his toughness? Yes. But look at it like this; If you owned a delivery company and he crashed a truck once a week, you'd fire his ass in a New York second!!! I don't care if he was the best driver for 10 years, it would be unacceptable to a rational human being for him to still be employed by you....does that make any sense?

Re: remember to keep this in mind
If McNair isn't even dressing for the game, how and when would he get booed? Do you think if the big screen shows him on the sideline, that some will boo him? I would hope that this wouldn't even be an issue.
Re: remember to keep this in mind
Do people seriously think that us booing is going to make anybody on the team feel worst than they already do? Not a chance. That's why I don't boo. It doesn't do anything positive to the game or the team. Did you not see the Bengal D-Lineman who was jumping around trying to get those fans to boo louder? Why is that? Because booing your home team helps the visitors confidence.
I completey respect your right to boo and will never tell anybody to stop. I just request that you truly think about how you think it helps the OUR team or OUR players.

David Morgenthaler founded the firm in 1968 after a successful career as an operating executive. After his venture-backed business was sold to an international company, Dave decided that there was a tremendous opportunity for private venture capital investing. He then built a small Cleveland-based venture capital firm with a goal of investing in a variety of private technology companies nationally. He also took a leadership role in establishing the legitimacy and potential of the nascent venture capital industry.
Among his many contributions to the emerging industry, Dave was president of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) when the capital gains tax reduction was enacted in 1978, and played a leading role in testifying before Congress for the new legislation. He was also instrumental in helping pass the ERISA legislation of 1979, allowing for pension funds to invest in private equity for the first time. Dave was given the first National Venture Capital Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 in recognition for his contributions.
Morgenthaler began raising institutional funds in the 1980s, and has since grown to become a uniquely national firm. Today, our information technology venture capital practice is based in Menlo Park, CA. Morgenthaler has additional offices in Boston, MA, Boulder, CO and Cleveland, OH.
We have worked with entrepreneurs in approximately 300 companies since the firm's founding. We strive to be the entrepreneur's most trusted partner.

One of 40 colors that make up the 2013 color forecast.
CLEVELAND, OHIO — Midcentury meets 21st century with Sherwin-Williams 2013 color of the year, Aloe (SW 6464). With a hint of mint and lots of moxie, Aloe's many personas are revealed through thoughtful pairings and diverse applications. Following sneak-peeks of Aloe in fashion and European design shows, its full potential is now ready to be realized.
"This is no ordinary pastel – Aloe is funky and glamorous, demure and free-spirited. While Aloe's vibe can verge on retro, when paired with caviar blacks, crisp whites or soft grays, suddenly Aloe has a new soul and attitude. And Aloe is highly adaptable, making it a perfect pick for everyday spaces such as a breezy sunroom or a well-dressed living room," says Jackie Jordan, Sherwin–Williams director of color marketing.
For a tranquil aesthetic, Jordan recommends coupling Aloe with natural textiles, aged metals or warm wood tones in light to medium finishes. For a more energetic look, Jordan suggests combining Aloe with vintage chartreuse, floral lilacs and vivid corals.
Aloe is one of 40 colors that make up the 2013 color forecast. Selected by Sherwin-Williams color experts, the shades are grouped into four palettes: Midnight Mystery, Honed Vitality, Vintage Moxie and High-Voltage.

Re: Romney victory speech
posted at 7:27 pm on November 6, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Romney might only have a victory speech ready to go as yet, but… Obama has a concession speech. Via The Hill:
President Obama has prepared a concession speech, he told Denver's Fox affiliate in a round of swing state interviews shortly before polls closed Tuesday.
"You always have two speeches prepared because you can't take anything for granted," Obama told FOX31. "It is an extraordinary privilege to serve the people, whatever the office. I have served as a state senator, a U.S. senator and now as the president. And each and every time I've been reminded that it is the people where power ultimately resides; and I'm their representative, I'm their servant."

Fall Abundance Wreath
- Summary
Celebrating autumn's bounty of glorious botanicals, our wreath showcases the vibrant colors of the season. It's a harmonious composition of preserved cherry peppers, Japanese lanterns, marjoram, yarrow, broom corn and safflower, all highlighting each other's natural beauty. Artisans at a California farm arrange the botanicals by hand in a bed of bay leaves, wheat and preserved leaves.
- For decorative use only.
- Hang indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area protected from weather.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 20" diam.
- Made in USA.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in the wreath are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile. As fresh botanicals age, it is natural for their colors to fade and their leaves to curl slightly.
- If you choose to hang your wreath outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind and rain.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping.
- To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.
- To clean your wreath, lightly dust its leaves with a soft paintbrush or feather duster.

SHARE YOUR MEMORIES OF ARENA ROCK: On Dec. 10, 1971, we got a call from our friend Richard who told us to put on some black slacks, a white shirt and a bow tie, and he could get us into the Who concert that evening at the Long Beach Arena. We were told to go to the back entrance and tell the guy at the door that we work in concessions.
"The Arena is round," we said to Richard. "How can you tell where the back is?"
"It's at the opposite end of the front," he explained. "Oh, and you have to be there at 4."
"But it's a 7:30 show," we said.
"Do you want to go or not?" he yelled. "I can call someone else."
So we did as we were told (after first going to our dad to get a night's reprieve from restriction for some imagined slight; if we'd asked our mom, who doubtlessly put us on restriction in the first place, we'd have gone 0-for-Who that evening), and along with our black-slacked and bow-tied friend Jeff, saw the Who in one of the most historic nights of rock at the Long Beach Arena.
It was a show in support of the band's then-new "Who's Next" LP, which we're pretty sure is the band's best record, and the show featured Pete Townshend famously screaming a diatribe at the crowd that would later be the kick-off track for the band's box set, "Thirty Years Of Maximum R & B."
And we're not even sure if that's the best concert we ever attended at the Arena.
The hall, which co-existed for a few years with its next-door neighbor, the Municipal Auditorium, turns 50 next week, which makes this a great time to reflect on the hall's greatest hits.
We're going to need your memories to supplement our own scant and dwindling recollection of Arena shows.
Rummage through your personal experiences and ticket stubs and tell us some of your favorite moments at the Long Beach Arena, and we'll print as many as we can next week in a couple of days' worth of history columns about the hall that opened on Oct. 4, 1962.
People more or less our age had the best times, musically, anyway, at the Arena which, in the 1970s, played host to some of the biggest names in rock history.
Here's a year-by-year best-of of the decade to help rattle your brain:
1969 (bonus year): Creedence Clearwater Revival, Simon & Garfunkel, Three Dog Night
1970: The Doors, the Moody Blues (with the Steve Miller Band and Poco), Jethro Tull
1971: Deep Purple (with opening act Rod Stewart, before he was sexy; and, again, we had to dress like a monkey and get there early), the Who, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath
1972 Your Year of Years: The Allman Brothers Band (with, if our memory hasn't abandoned us, the Marshall Tucker Band and Boz Scaggs), the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Leon Russell, Santana, Elvis Presley and the Grateful Dead
1973: Traffic, Chicago, David Bowie & the Spiders from Mars, Stephen Stills & Manassas
1974: Neil Young, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, ZZ Top, Frank Zappa
1975: KISS, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Aerosmith
1976: Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Black Sabbath, Willie Nelson
1977: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Yes, Blue Oyster Cult, Queen, Kansas
1978: Styx, Journey, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick
1979: Elvis Costello & the Attractions, AC/DC, Marvin Gaye.
Here's the part where you say "You forgot about ..."
Forgot about what? Talking Heads? Seals and Croft? Dylan? The Eagles' famous break-up concert on July 31, 1980, when Don Felder and Glenn Frey exchanged death threats between each song ("Only three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Felder reportedly hissed at Frey toward the end of their Long Beach set, with Frey repeating the threat back at Felder during "The Best of My Love.")?
So, whether we've mentioned it here or neglected it in our brisk recap of great moments in Arena rock, take a moment to jot down your recollections of your favorite show in the 50 years of music at the Arena. Send it via email, Facebook or Twitter, and we'll hit the high spots next week.

Schiaparelli Spring 2014 Couture
For his debut haute couture collection for Schiaparelli, Marco Zanini resisted the obvious temptation to echo the madcap Schiap's iconic thirties designs. "I love the personality of Schiaparelli so much," he explained during a preview in the original Place Vendôme ateliers, "that I wanted to reference her as an extremely cultivated, irreverent, and daring woman."
The resulting collection—shown to guests who included former French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and Jean-Paul Goude and Gaultier—was light as air, with soufflé skirts of weightless cigaline or tulle ruffles, and insouciantly draped dresses in diaphanous chiffons in a subtle sun-through-clouds palette.
The attitude was slouchy, irreverent, and modern. A pajama top melted into a swathed crêpe de Chine evening gown in one of the exclusive, playful prints that Zanini designed; one of those frothing ball-gown skirts was worn with a T-shirt of ivory crêpe de Chine, its stripes of nacreous beadwork in a similarly relaxed gesture. A billowing polka dot navy chiffon dressing gown untied to reveal a mid-century one-piece bathing suit encrusted with golden ivy leaves by the master embroidery House of Lesage. A vast opera coat in palest aqua satin, scrolled with cut velvet fig leaves, opened over shorts and a bikini top that was a mere twist and tie of sugar almond stripe satin. "A Schiaparelli woman is not about cliché," Zanini added, and he eschewed high heels for flat classic men's patent evening shoes, or crocodile sandals bristling with feathers that brought the looks into the real world.
"The 'shock' value doesn't exist in today's world," Zanini reasoned, "so I swapped 'shocking' for 'surprise.' " This meant shapely tailored shantung jackets that were turned inside out on the runway to reveal their elaborate infrastructure and peplums of embroidered ostrich feathers or chiffon ruffles. There was more inside-out play with a ballgown's tiny bodice constructed to show the elaborate finishing seams that characterize the interiors of mid-century couture dresses. A Stephen Jones cream beret, meanwhile, turned out to an explosion of bristling black feathers. Jones's whimsical flourishes included a bicorne hat "like a [Christian] Bérard brushstroke," as the milliner explained, referencing the legendary artist who illustrated so many Schiaparelli creations, and a flying star tiara in the Ursa Major formation that mirrored the birthmarks on Schiap's face and thus became her signature motif. For the colored cabochon glass Gripoix jewels, Zanini wanted "something slightly alarming, dangerous, something bold," to counter the prettiness, and settled on predatory Venus flytrap rings and on ivy tendrils that snake up the arm. "Schiaparelli for me is about eclecticism," Zanini explained, an idea that was reflected in the individualized, multicolored hair designs of Eugene Souleiman and the playful make up of Lucia Pieroni (with a whiff of eighties Galliano to them) for a cabine that ran the gamut from runway debutantes to grand dames Stella Tennant and Kirsten Owen.

Timeless Timekeepers
For centuries, sundials have been used to mark the passage of time while reminding us of the rhythms of our universe. While modern day timepieces have long since replaced the practical usefulness of the sundial, there is a sense of earthen nostalgia that makes sundials appropriate as functional garden accents.

9/11 responder: Coburn 'should be ashamed' for blocking health bill
By David Edwards
The Senate passed a bill by unanimous consent Wednesday that will provide health care benefits to first responders and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Original report follows...
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) earned himself a visit from some 9/11 first responders after he threatened to block a bill that would provide them health benefits.
A group of former Ground Zero workers visited the senator's office Tuesday to give him a piece of their mind but Coburn refused the meeting.
"Mr. Coburn should be ashamed of himself," John Feal, the leader of the group, told Think Progress. "Because I think before he was a senator he was a doctor and he took an oath to help people that are sick. He's going against his oath as a doctor. He can vote any way he wants as a senator, but as a doctor, he just embarrassed the medical profession."
"What about going office to office? Have their staff and the senators been very receptive to the group?" Think Progress asked.
"Once in a while we'll run into some resistance and some arrogance and some rude people. Listen, we busted our asses since 9/11. We've fought and advocated for ourselves so others wouldn't. So to be insulted by the staff of the United States Senate and Congress -- most of them were 12 years old when 9/11 happened -- doesn't bother me," Feal said.
All but one of the 42 Republican senators stood together last week to wage a successful filibuster against the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. The bill would provide $7 billion in benefits to workers that responded to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Many of those workers are now experiencing health problems such as cancer, heart disease and respiratory disease.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), called Capitol Police when she heard the activists were planning to arrive on the Hill and stay in senators' offices until they had the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to bring up the Zadroga bill once more in the lame duck session, after the Senate votes on the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia Wednesday.
On Tuesday, an aide for Coburn told The Wall Street Journal that the senator would not allow the bill to go through before Christmas.
A source told the Associate Press Wednesday that Democrats and Republicans had worked out a deal to pass the bill.
As a part of the deal, health benefits would be scaled back to $4 billion over 5 years, instead of $7 billion over 10 years.
Coburn appeared Wednesday to back off his threat to block the bill.
"There's a deal," Coburn said. "The deal's closed. And all we're doing is running the traps and I've run a lot of the traps on my side and it looks like it'll go by [unanimous consent] this afternoon."

LONG BEACH - Officials are hoping to change the cold concrete of the Civic Center into something warm and inviting.
The City Council approved a request Tuesday to seek qualified vendors to develop and possibly run a new Civic Center.
Officials have for years considered overhauling or replacing the almost 40-year-old downtown facility that includes City Hall, the Main Library and the Los Angeles County Courthouse.
Assistant City Manager Suzanne Frick called City Hall itself, built under the 1970 Uniform Building Code, "monolithic" and unfriendly to pedestrians.
Seismic deficiencies discovered in the structure's concrete wing panels, vertical trusses, columns and beams in a 2005 study compel action, she said.
"We can't just let this building go unattended," said Frick.
Mayor Bob Foster said the council should closely examine replacing City Hall, considering some of those safety concerns, and raised the possibility of employees suing over the condition of the building.
"If you are sued, you have to change things," Foster said. "Now everyone knows you have to change and you're not going to get the kind of great deals you might get if you do it voluntarily."
Retrofitting City Hall alone would cost $170 million, and other options presented in a study session two years ago to build an entirely new Civic Center, not including land and other costs, were estimated between $80 million and more than $200 million.
Frick said the price of a new complex could be largely absorbed within the annual cost of the current Civic Center. According to the Department of Public Works, Long Beach now spends $12.6 million on debt service, operating costs and offsite leases associated with the center each year.
Officials also raised the possibility of constructing the facility by partnering with the Port of Long Beach, which is seeking its own permanent headquarters downtown to replace its aging and seismically unsafe administration building located at the port. Port employees will move to a temporary location near the Long Beach Airport later this year.
A closed session scheduled last week on the Civic Center issue would have discussed price and terms of sale for the site's downtown property, which is bounded by Magnolia Avenue to the west, Broadway Avenue to the north, Pacific Avenue to the east and Ocean Boulevard to the south.
City Attorney Robert Shannon canceled the meeting, saying it discussed more than the stated topic and included one item that was required to be debated in public session.
Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske, who had criticized the planned closed meeting, asked city staff Tuesday if selling the property was a possibility.
Frick responded by saying that the goal of any future action on the matter would be to remain fiscally neutral and finding a company that can help the city build a new Civic Center "for little or no cost."
Schipske introduced a substitute motion that asked to table Tuesday's item pending a seismic report on both City Hall and the Main Library.
However, the council voted 7-2 to move forward on the request to seek a qualified vendor.
Councilmen Al Austin and James Johnson were opposed.

what is the best contraceptive to use?
I would like to seek for the best advise on contraceptives.
I gave birth by Cesarean Section and with that I am advised not to be pregnant in the next 3 years. I have tried to use pills but it wont work for me since I keep on forgetting it. My friend advise me to use injectable pill but my OB GYNE said it will be best not to use it since I am obese. I also tried to use IUD but it is very painful because they find it hard to insert it to my cervix since i did not gave birth as normal spontaneous delivery. I am so worried. I am so happy that we have these forum so i can get advise from you.

Thank you for your question.
Myself and our midwife Jane actually recently commented on a thread about recommended contraception options.
Please can I ask if there was a particular reason you were advised not to get pregnant for 3 years? Generally, it is recommended that a woman leaves around 18 months recovery time after a c-section before she conceives, however, many women do get pregnant with a smaller gap than this with no medical problems. If you do not get pregnant for 3 years following a c-section then the gap between your children would obviously be closer to 4 years.
Please let us know if you need any further information on contraceptives.
Best wishes,

Hi LJ,
Thanks for your reply.
As much as i can remember, I was advised not to be pregnant for about 3 years because of the operation, my doctor said that healing process may take some time and if i will be pregnant before that time frame i might encounter serious problems. That is the main reason why i am worried, but with the information you have shared that gives me a relief. However, I still need to get myself protected. It is best to prevent it than regret it. I know a having a baby is a blessing but for now we are still not ready for another one due to financial difficulties. Thank you so much for the info!
Best Regards

You are very welcome.
You have written some wise words - having a baby is a blessing but it is also our responsibility to plan and provide for our children. Of course, most unexpected pregnancies are happy ones but that doesn't mean we don't need to actively plan for the future.
When you have another baby after having a previous c-section there is a small risk of uterine rupture. This risk is greatest if you conceive in the 6 months following your c-section, however, even in this case it is still a small risk. This risk is higher if you are induced (using progesterone).
Best wishes,

Osteopetrosis is a disorder in which an imbalance in the formation and breakdown of bone causes bones to be overly dense, yet weak and prone to break easily. It is a congenital condition, which means people are born with it.
Excessive bone density can interfere with vital tissues and structures, causing serious problems throughout the body. Compression of nerves in the skull, for example, can lead to problems such as vision loss, hearing loss, or paralysis of facial muscles. It can also cause crowding of the bone marrow, which is the tissue inside the bones that produces blood cells and platelets. This can lead to low levels of cells needed to fight infection, carry oxygen to the body's cells, or control bleeding. In the most severe cases, these problems can be life-threatening. The specific complications and their severity depend largely on the type of osteopetrosis.
There are two major types of osteopetrosis: malignant infantile and adult. The malignant infantile form is evident at or shortly after birth and can greatly reduce life expectancy. Despite its name, it is not related to cancer. The formal name for this is autosomal recessive osteopetrosis.
The adult form is milder and may not be diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood. The formal name for this is autosomal dominant osteopetrosis.
Because some cases of osteopetrosis do not fit clearly into these two categories, some scientists recognize a third type called intermediate osteopetrosis. Found in children younger than age 10, this form is more severe than the adult form, but less severe than the malignant infantile form. The vast majority of the patients falling into this category have a severe form of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (the "adult" disease).
Osteopetrosis is caused by defects in one or more genes involved in the formation, development, and function of cells called osteoclasts. These cells break down bone tissue during bone remodeling. Remodeling is a normal process in which old bone is removed and new bone is created to replace it. The malignant infantile form of osteopetrosis occurs when a child inherits a copy of the defective gene from both parents.
Only one copy of the defective gene is necessary for the adult form. This can be passed from one parent. However, in many cases, the abnormal gene does not come from either parent, but may be the result of a new gene mutation that happens at conception.
The severity of symptoms differs for the three forms of osteopetrosis. The most common symptoms are bone fractures, low blood cell levels, impaired vision and hearing, and dental problems related to infection.
The bones in people with osteopetrosis appear unusually dense and chalky white on x rays. A bone biopsy is generally not recommended.
Doctors may use other tests to diagnose and gain additional information about specific problems related to osteopetrosis. These may include hearing and vision tests, blood tests, computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Treatment for osteopetrosis depends, in part, on the form. For children who are severely affected, a bone marrow transplant may be performed. In this procedure, abnormal osteoclasts are replaced with normal ones. This can completely stop bone and bone marrow abnormalities. Unfortunately, it cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. Furthermore, finding an appropriate bone marrow donor can be difficult, and the procedure itself is very risky.
Other treatments for children or adults include:
Several different types of doctors may be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of osteopetrosis. Often patients see a team of doctors who work together to provide the best treatment. These doctors may include:
Some researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are examining the genetic and molecular mechanisms of abnormal bone formation and breakdown. Their goal is to find new targets for therapy. Others are studying the surgical management of complications. Elsewhere, scientists are looking at modifications to bone marrow transplantation that would make the procedure more readily accessible to children shortly after diagnosis, with the hope of stopping the disease and preventing its complications.

A veteran collegiate coach with experience from junior college to Division I has been selected to become the new head football coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
Alan Hall was introduced to the media, players and fans at a news conference Thursday.
Hall comes to Northwestern after serving for a year as athletic director and head football coach at Bible Baptist School in Savannah, Ga. Prior to that, Hall was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Savannah State University.
"The football program at Northwestern is nationally-recognized at the small college level, and there is a long history of success," Hall said. "I am honored to have the opportunity to lead this program and hope to build on the traditions that come with being a Ranger.
"I want to thank President (Janet) Cunningham and Andy Carter for the opportunity. I will work tirelessly to build a program that will be a source of pride for the University. To the fans, and to all of those who wore a Ranger uniform in the past, I promise that you will see a team that will play with great intensity and passion."
"Coach Hall has all of the characteristics and skills necessary to successfully lead our program into Division II," Carter said. "We want our football program to succeed on the field and our players to excel in the classroom and in their personal development. I am confident that Coach Hall is the right person at the right time to make this happen."
Hall played collegiately at the University of Miami (Fla.) and was a member of the Hurricanes' 1991 national championship team. Hall was the backup to Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta. Hall later transferred and eventually earned his bachelor's degree from Charter Oak (Conn.) State College. He also holds a master's degree from the University of West Alabama.
Hall began his coaching career as offensive line coach and director of football operations at Monterey Peninsula College (Calif.) in 1997. He spent several years coaching at the junior college level, including stops at Jayhawk Conference schools Independence Community College and Dodge City Community College.
In 2003, Hall became assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Division II Newberry (S.C.) College. His 2004 and 2005 teams finished in the top 25 in total offense, and he coached a candidate for the Harlon Hill Trophy, the Division II award for the nation's top player.
Hall joined the Division I ranks in 2008 as offensive coordinator at Savannah State University. He later took a similar position at Winston-Salem (N.C.) State University before returning to Savannah State.
In his career, Hall has coached four players who went on to compete in the National Football League and four junior college All-Americans.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

IRVING, TX – The Chuck E. Cheese's chain of pizzerias and arcades marked its 35th anniversary on Feb. 26. But instead of looking back to its 1977 launch by founder Nolan Bushnell, parent company CEC Entertainment Inc. is looking forward and announced that it will accelerate its expansion plan during 2012. After opening or relocating just 19 stores between 2008 and 2011, the company said it intends to open some 30 stores in 2012 and 2013.
The announcement came amid mixed financial news for the chain. CEC executives reported on Feb. 23 that earnings in comparable stores declined 3.6% in its fiscal third quarter, which ended Jan. 1, 2012, compared with the same period last year. Comparable store sales decreased 2% for the full fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. | SEE PRESS RELEASE
Yet some metrics showed increases, due chiefly to aggressive investment and expansion by the company in 2011.
Total revenues for the third quarter dropped $4.2 to $178.6 million, a year-over-year decline of 2.3%. But total revenues for fiscal year 2011 increased 0.5%, or $4 million, to $821.2 million, compared with $817.2 million for fiscal 2010.
Net income for fiscal year 2011 increased to $55 million, compared with $54 million in fiscal 2010. Operating cash flow increased by $20.3 million to $177.2 million.
Last year, CEC invested $94.7 million in opening four new stores and completing store expansions, major remodels and game enhancements in 181 of its existing 507 company-owned stores in the U.S. and Canada.
CEC chief executive Michael Magusiak said the Irving, TX-based company will invest up to $96 million in the coming year, and will add or relocate some 12 to 15 new stores. This includes approximately three relocations and one franchise acquisition. Magusiak predicted comparable store sales would rebound with an increase of 1% to 2% compared with 2011 levels.
In a conference call, Magusiak told investors and analysts that CEC will shift its marketing strategy from TV ads targeting kids to radio spots aimed at moms. The company has already launched this new strategy in part, he said.
CEC has suffered a spate of negative news stories in the past couple of years due to misbehavior by adults in a number of locations. But the company received positive headlines on Valentine's Day when music superstar Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez visited the Chuck E. Cheese's in an upscale outdoor mall in the Eagle Rock district of Los Angeles.
In other news, company officials had no comment on reports that CEC is working with California lawmakers to craft new legislation that would alter the state's redemption sector by sharply reducing the permissible value of prize merchandise.
VENDING TIMES contacted the Amusement and Music Operators Association for comment on the matter. AMOA officials said they are monitoring the situation.
