Candace Bushnell stopped by Today this morning to kick off what she calls "The Candace Bushnell Week," referring to the releases of the Sex and the City: The Movie DVD and her latest book, One Fifth Avenue and the return of the show she executive produces, Lipstick Jungle. One Fifth Avenue sounds a lot like Bushnell's other work, as it focuses on — wait for it — wealthy social-climbers in Manhattan. Bushnell says the book is a microcosm of New York City, since it's about people trying to live in an exclusive building; there's even a character that's a hedge fund manager! Clip above.

Sounds from Arab Lands celebrates musical fusions
Artists to perform world music concert Thursday
A shared spirit of musical exploration unites the diverse group of musicians behind the upcoming performance of REMIX: New Sounds from Arab Lands.The artists will come to campus this week for a three-day residency as part of the MusicUnitesUS program, which promotes the understanding and appreciation of other cultures through music. REMIX brings together distinguished performers and composers from Syria, Lebanon and Tunisia who create music inspired by the cultural heritage of the Arab lands.
The public concert, part of the music department's World Music Series, will take place in Slosberg Recital Hall on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. Residency curator Ted Levin will offer a pre-concert lecture at 7 p.m.
"Their music brings together three beautiful classical traditions: Arab and European art music and jazz. They are creating new paths," says Judith Eissenberg, professor of the practice of music and director of MusicUnitesUS. "As a musician, I wonder what music will be like 50, 100, 200 years from now – how will it adapt to and express what is going on in the world, within and beyond its particular cultural context? The musicians we've invited are great players, interested in exploring, reconfiguring, reimagining, remixing music across time and place.
"They will show us that 'tradition' is not something that restrains us, but is the foundation for growth and change," she says.
The New Sounds project was developed in collaboration with the Aga Khan Music Initiative, a program of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The initiative supports artists and artistic communities in the Middle East and North Africa, Central Asia and South Asia that seek to reassemble and further develop diverse expressions of a shared musical heritage in contemporary forms.
The players perform on both Middle Eastern and Western instruments. They are led by genre-crossing clarinetist Kinan Azmeh, and includes Syrian saxophonist, Basel Rajoub; and violinist, Jasser Haj Youssef, from Tunisia. Joining them are percussionist Khaled Yassine , co-founder of Lebanese fusion band Fu Jan Shai and Feras Shahrestane on qanun, a descendent of the harp. Together, they combine jazz, classical music and the microtonal subtleties and melodic modes of Arabic music. Their program will include works composed by each member.
"A sublime mix of spontaneity and control rooted in a thousand-year-old tradition of improvisation, this music is as alive and in the moment as you'll ever hear, but it's also fraught with history," Levin says. "Moreover, it could only have been created by artists whose own musical journeys have zigzagged back and forth between the Middle East and the West in unique and remarkable ways."
Ensemble members say even they were hesitant about the project, imagining it would be difficult to marry their distinct sounds but were ultimately enthralled with the idea of expressing traditional sounds in contemporary ways.
"These musicians represent a new generation of players who aim to achieve a balance of tradition and modernity, in their own terms. What can music teach us about how to achieve the balance of tradition and modernity?" Eissenberg says. "The tool that makes it possible in music is the art of improvisation. Improvisation is not simply making stuff up at the spur of the moment.… It is a process that is informed by carefully considered, complex, deeply rooted aesthetics and musical guidelines – tradition."
Tickets for the World Music Concert are $20 for the general public, $15 for the Brandeis community and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased online and in person at the Shapiro Campus Center.

Here's a new one -- a pho kit sold at Tan Son Nhat airport. It all comes in a box and makes 2 bowls. The box contains:
Dried noodles - rice, salt, sugar, MSG
Stewed beef pack - pre-cooked beef with palm oil, ginger, shallot and salt
Soup base pack - salt, sugar, MSG, disodium 5-guanylate, disodium 5-isoninate, caramel
Vegetable pack - green onion, eryngium (culantro)
Chile sauce pack - chile, modified cornstarch, salt, sugar, citric acidDirections: Put content into bowl and add 600 ml of boiling water. Ready to serve between 3-5 minutes.
The cost is 6 USD. "Who buys it?" I asked the young saleswomen. Many Japanese visitors, they just love pho. Is it sold outside of the airport? Not to the young women's knowledge.

A Tauranga lecturer has been awarded the Tertiary Teaching Excellence Award and prizemoney of $20,000.
Frances Denz, a lecturer and executive director of business education company Stellaris, won the award on Tuesday night at a special awards dinner at the Beehive attended by Prime Minister John Key and Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Stephen Joyce.
Ms Denz started her career teaching skills to people who were starting businesses, many of whom were on the benefit.
After many years, she changed direction and is now teaching a certificate of governance, a course about the different aspects of being a company director.
Ms Denz was nominated for the award and said she had to submit an 8000 word portfolio about the work she had been involved in during her more than 30 years of teaching.
"I've had a very long teaching career so that was quite difficult. It was quite technical and had to be assessed by 12 judges."
Ms Denz was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in last year's New Year's Honours for services to business and said getting a teaching award meant both aspects of her job were now recognised.
"This is the top teaching award there is, which is very exciting. It is very prestigious here and internationally."
Stellaris chairman Richard Prebble said they were delighted at the official recognition of one of their lecturers.
"The award is also recognition that we are providing world class teaching here in Tauranga. Frances has developed teaching techniques that work whether the student has dropped out of formal learning or is a company director wishing to gain tertiary level governance skills."

I find that a lot harder to read. ... If you want to conditionally include only one thing in a much larger unconditional list it really breaks down. I personally believe that ease of reading is in the eye of the beholder, but as far as the second remark is concerned, of course it's fully seconded++.

What seems to be the issue? Breaking traction? Falling? If you can't break traction you need to commit your hips into it. Also make sure your wheels don't have a mold release on them still as in just spankin new and are still grippy as fuck.
What seems to be the issue? Breaking traction? Falling? If you can't break traction you need to commit your hips into it. Also make sure your wheels don't have a mold release on them still as in just spankin new and are still grippy as fuck.
The wheels are brand spanking new but i sometimes only get like 10-25 degrees then i just go back into normal riding and sometimes when i do get it 90 degrees i just get thrown over the top ( i guess i need to sit back more? )
Thinking about buying the landyatchz switchblade, looks pretty bad ass. Also going to maybe buy the orangatang inheat wheels.
Holy shit this is a fucking longboard video. These videos of people doing heelside standies constantly for 4 minutes is getting really old really fast.
Preferred Style:Cruising
Topography of where you plan to skate:Flat
Any suggestions for a decent dancer with kicks, its really hard finding something decent for a good price here in the UK.
AmWood 1/2 dance, Earthwing Hightailer, LBL OSD, XVD Dancr, one of Drang's many dancers, Legendary Platypus... Almost every small builder makes a dancer because few big companies do, look around.
The Boombox is an insane deck, man. I picked up its companion deck, the EQ, and had the chance to ride it. This video just proves what skilled riders can do with a good deck.
The hype for RAD wheels is ridiculous, but justified it seems.
Gotta get a set.
Gotta go fast.
Although I would love a dancer, something more than 42 inches long is nowhere near practical for my needs. For that reason, I've got my next deck narrowed down to a Bustin Boombox, Nelson Tempest and Landy Tomahawk. How are the kicks on the Boombox? They seem almost nonexistent, as do the Tomahawk's.
EDIT: As you guys can tell, I'm very indecisive and can't impulse buy haha.
The kicks aren't huge, but they're definitely there, and fun to work with.
woooooo my boards in Quebec! Should be here some time next week.
I decided that, since I love top mounts infinitely more than drop-throughs, that I would top mount my Eel. This is the best decision of my life.
I really want to try the downhill set, if they're faster than my venom cannibals I'll be supremely impressed.
My boards
The pressed board completed
Toeside standups are retardedly hard, so are no-complys, and kickflips
longboarding is hard.
nice socks ;)
One of my most favorite videos
Toesides take a lot of practice but once you get them, its money. Now switch toeside, haha don't even get me started on how hard that is.
I can usually get the full 180 but i always fall of at the last second, i got switch heelsides down, that was hard enough
i just ordered a comet shred 35 for fun, also got slide As to go with it
and volantes
can you do toeside standup checks? 180s are p easy in my opinion, checks are the hard part for me.
i wish, i can almost do heelside checks but they are unsteezy and basically just me fishtailing
I learned pressure flips today. Fun shit.
it takes a lot of time, a lot of speed, and a lot of balls and bails. So glad I worked past that stage for my heelside, toeside, and switch heelside checks.
I just got my board buuuuut the bushings are rock hard and I can't even turn so I need new ones I guess. Frustrating.
or maybe I just suck and need to majorly get the hang of it.
OH WAIT. I think one of my trucks is on backwards (I didn't put it together)
So I'm really more into fixed gear bikes, but yesterday I tried my friend's sector 9 cruiser and it was pretty fun. Also been watching a lot of these longboarding pros bombing hills like nothing. Though of course I won't be doing that the first day. Anyways:
Height:5'1-5'2 (I know I'm short. :
Preferred Style:Cruising/Going fast down hills
Topography of where you plan to skate:Southern Cali. I'd say a handful of hills and flat land. (About half half)
Budget:y maximum of $200.
Anyone plan on going to the DC jam tomorrow?
Anybody have any shoe recommendations? The ones I have are too stiff to bend into position for a slide. I can pull a very sloppy stinkbug shutdown but that's about it.
one of the trucks was put on so the kingpin was facing in towards the deck instead of away from it. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet cause by the time I figured out what was going on it was dark and I've been at work all day (I just figured it was put together correctly so I didn't even look at the trucks really)
I don't know why my pictures aren't working...
I'm not sure which service you used to host your images but Imigur have blocked linking images from facepunch.com. Use something like http://puush.me/ or another image sharing website.
yeah, one of the trucks was flipped around the other way. I might still have them on backwards though I'm not sure. Just took it out around the block though and it's super fun, not much much different from snowboarding but a hell of a lot more responsive.
I got Adidas Vulcs, Nike 6.0s are popular too. Vans are generally hated, as are Chucks.
little edit i made, had all footage lying around.
Any specific ones? I've got a pair of etnies and Fallens, and they're great shoes, but too stiff to get into position to pull off any decent slides. Especially the wide as balls etnies.
have you tried etnies jamesons? I used to use them for skating.
I like my 6.0 MarVs, whatever the hell their called. Get something with cupped soles because they last longer.
My friend wants a drop through, lightweight dk deck that's on the shorter side. He also would prefer a flat board, no camber or rocker. I told him the Moray would be great, and similar boards are the Rebel, Superfly and Soujourn.
Oh yeah, and my Eel delammed today, got it glued and pressed. Something I haven't heard in a while.
I expect to see anyone in the tristate area at this
That moment when you go past 30 and feel like the best skater ever...
That moment when you have the cleanest toeside predrift at 40. Fuck that was the greatest feeling I'd had in a month, best day ever today.
I think I'm going to buy a madrid calvin staub. Looks like a really fun deck.

Tomb Raider sees the XFX R9 280X Double D Black Edition OC perform well against the GTX 770 2GB with a strong performance lead over it and playable FPS at both 1920 x 1200 and 1680 x 1050.
The NVIDIA offering, on the other hand, falls a little short at 1920 x 1200. Compared to the reference clocked R9 280X 3GB from Visiontek, we also see a slight performance boost at all resolutions.

Nosaj Thing has released yet another sneak peak into his upcoming album Home, to be released in 2013, with the drop of a music video for his single "Eclipse/Blue".
It has been three years since the release of Nosaj Thing's critically acclaimed debut album, however, his anticipated album Home is sure to be even more exciting. So far, Nosaj has only released one single from the album titled "Eclipse/Blue". The video for this track perfectly incapsulates the starry and sad-electric feel of the song. The video uses lights and human bodies to present a brilliant and beautiful sort of story-telling dance which plays along with the song.

Learning to cast with what weight rod?
Hi folks, Newbie here. I am ready to take the plunge into fly fishing, but I have not purchased a rod yet, nor have I decided upon a specific line weight. I am seriously thinking about building my own rod, but not sure on that either.
I plan on fishing for panfish and trout (out of state on the trout) to start, and eventually fish for steelhead and smallmouths in the rivers. I was thinking along thelines of a 4 or 5 weight, or posiibly a 7 or 8 so I can hit the rivers next year. I intend to take casting lessons before I head out, but I was wondering,would I be better off learning on a lighter weight rod, as opposed to a heavier weight? Seems to me that it shouldn't make a difference, as the casts are the same for either one. But I do see the potential for more practice swinging a 4 than an 8, just from the heavier rod/reel/line combo with the 8. I don't know anyone who fly fishes, so I am kind of in the dark. I am reading as much as I can-books and forums- but would just like so advice from some people in the know. I am starting in the wrong season here in Ohio too, as I currently have 3 inches of snow outside my window. I'll have a bit of a problem finding someplace to take lessons this time of year. Smith |

Your budget may not be able to afford it at this time, but it sounds to me as though you may need two rods. The 4 or 5 weight would be good for panfish and trout and the 7 or 8 weight for steelhead and smallmouths.
If one rod is all you can swing at this point, you may want to consider something between the two, like a 6 weight. A compromise, yes, but it could get you started quite nicely. And, it would be great to learn to cast with. When you are ready to add another rod to your arsenal, you can then move to either the 4 or 8 weight, depending on what you tend to be fishing for the most. By the way. I wouldn't bother to learn to cast at this time of year. What I would recommend is continue to study and read a lot. Research all the various equipment out there, go to some fly shops and ask tons of questions (even if you have to travel an hour or two to get to them), and get as many of your questions answered as you can. Hit all the fly fishing forums on-line as well and ask questions there. Then, in early spring you can take a few casting lessons and make a more informed decision as to what type equipment you really want. Hope this helps. |
I plan on having a light and a heavy rod. It would be difficult at best to catch steelhead on a 4 wt, so two different rods are definitely in the future. I think I will start off with the 4 though, as I can fish the local lakes and ponds and not overpower those little bluegills.
I have some time off in March, and would like to spend a 4 day weekend fishing. My original plan was the Outer Banks for some surf fishing, but that time of year its not good at all. In my search, I found an area in Blue ridge, Georgia I would like to try for trout, with a fly rod. That is the biggest motivator for the lessons right now. Maybe we'll get a break in the weather and I'll hit up a few shops around here for lessons. Smith |
It really makes very little difference whether you learn to fly cast with a 4 wt rod or an 8 wt rod. Yes, the 8 wt is a lot more powerful than the 4 wt; but the casting mechanics are the same. It really isn't any different than someone learning to spin cast with an ultralight rod or a medium or medium-heavy spinning rod. The bottom line is neither will be harder or easier to learn with. Get the one you will use the most first, learn to cast it, and then fish it as often as you can. Then a few months later (or a year later) get the other one. It sounds like you have decided to get two rods and will be using the lighter 4 or 5 wt most, so that is what I'd get first. Just do yourself a favor and avoid the K-Mart (or Wally World) specials, which will hinder your learning how to do it and your fishing pleasure. Instead, get a good, decent casting set up from a fly shop or catalog house (Redington, ECHO, TFO, Lamiglas, and St. Croix, and even Cabella's have rods under $100.00 and complete outfits for $150 or thereabouts that will last you a lot of years and be good casting rods, unlike the very poor quality and poor casting K-Mart specials. |
good advice above...
If your interest is casting first, I would start with a 7wt. Widely accepted by upper echelon casters as the most natural weight for men to cast. if you want to match those fish you listed with just one rod, I would start with a 6wt accordingly - still get a wiggle from a bluegill but can land a steelhead with some effort. Eventually you might consider an 8wt or a Spey rod for steelheading if that becomes a serious pursuit as it often will do.

Hough's hoop dreams! On the heels of her split with Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough is definitely not hiding at home on the couch with a pint of ice cream. On Sunday, the 24-year-old Safe Haven star was front and center courtside at L.A.'s Staples Center with pal Nina Dobrev to cheer on the Lakers as they played the Sacramento Kings.
PHOTOS: Ryan and Julianne in happier times
In her first big public outing since Friday's news hit, the former Dancing with the Stars pro was all smiles in a sweet casual outfit: White lace blouse, khaki jacket, skinny black jeans and ankle boots. Also joined by Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco, Hough and the Vampire Diaries star, 24, sipped iced drinks as they smiled, clapped and checked out the sights inside the arena.
One day before, Dobrev lent Hough her support for a more private girls' outing: A trip to the beach! "Beachin' with my bitches," she captioned the fun, sun-filled shot, with herself wedged between Nina Dobrev, stylist Riawna Capri, Morgan Johnson and friend Jill. "#friendsarethebesttherapy."
PHOTOS: Julianne's red carpet evolution
Hough, who dated the American Idol judge, 38, for two years, had been tweeting inspirational messages following the split. "I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone . . .Love when these things catch your eyes in the most unexpected places . . .It Gets Better."
Beach, basketball and other leisure time activities are just what Hough needs right now. Indeed, a source told Us Seacrest's breakneck work schedule caused the rift. "He never sleeps," the source said. "It's a lifestyle she couldn't handle anymore."

Body lice are tiny insects that are spread through close contact with other people.
Two other types of lice are:
Lice - body; Pediculosis; Vagabond's disease
Some facts about body lice:
You can catch body lice if you come in direct contact with someone who has lice. You can also get lice from infected clothing, towels, or bedding.
You are more likely to get body lice if you do not bathe and wash your clothes often, or if you live in close, overcrowded conditions. Lice are not likely to last if you:
Placing clothes in a hot dryer helps kill lice on clothing.
Lice cause severe itching. Itching is usually worse around the waist, under the arms, and in places where clothing is tighter and closer to the body (such as near bra straps).
You may have red bumps on your skin. The bumps may scab or become crusty after scratching.
Skin around the waist or groin may become thickened or change color if you have been infected with lice in that area for a long time.
Your doctor will look at your skin and clothing for signs of lice.
You should also be checked for head and pubic lice if you have body lice.
Body lice mainly live in clothing. To get rid of lice, destroy infected clothing or carefully wash items in hot water (at least 130°F or 54.4°C), then machine dry using a hot cycle.
Your health care provider may also prescribe a skin cream that will kill the lice.
Bathing and washing clothes, bedding, and towels are the most important steps in treating lice. Doing these things usually gets rid of the problem.
With effective treatment, the lice can be completely destroyed.
Scratching can make your skin more likely to become infected. Rarely, lice may carry uncommon diseases, such as trench fever. Because body lice spread easily to others, people you live with and sexual partners need to be treated as well.
Call your health care provider if you have lice in your clothing or itching that does not go away.

Rocket and mortar fire as a war crime
Palestinian organizations that fire rockets and mortar shells into Israel openly declare that they intend to strike Israeli civilians, among other targets. Aiming attacks at civilians is both immoral and illegal, and the intentional killing of civilians is defined a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention and a war crime that cannot be justified, under any circumstance. Furthermore, the rockets and mortar shells are illegal weapons, even when aimed at military objects, as they are greatly imprecise and endanger civilians present both in the area from which they are fired and where they land, thus violating two fundamental principles of the laws of war: distinction and proportionality.
In a significant number of cases, Palestinians have fired the rockets and mortar shells from civilian residential areas. International humanitarian law (IHL) prohibits attacks from inside or near the homes of civilians, and using civilians as human shields. Palestinian organizations that choose to carry out attacks against communities in Israel from within or near populated areas breach this rule, and in doing so, demonstrate not only their intention to harm Israeli civilians, but also indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.
The Hamas government in the Gaza Strip must do everything in its power to stop the rocket and mortar fire, and the Palestinian organizations must cease attacks aimed at civilians, in particular when they are carried out from populated Palestinian areas. The government is responsible for the breaches of international humanitarian law, due to its failure to take sufficient action to stop the firing from areas close to civilian homes, and even more so, as it actively takes part in these attacks. The persons involved in these breaches are guilty of war crimes and bear individual criminal responsibility for their acts.

B'Tselem's research indicates that, from June 2004 to 23 July 2014, 26 Israeli civilians (four of them minors) and two foreign nationals were killed in Israel by Palestinian rocket and mortar fire. In addition, five soldiers were killed, three in Israel and two in the Gaza Strip. Another Israeli civilian and three foreign nationals were killed by rocket fire at settlements in the Gaza Strip, before they were evacuated. Palestinian rocket fire also killed at least 11 Palestinians (eight of them minors).One Israeli civilian (a minor inIsrael) and one soldier (in the Gaza Strip) were killed by an anti-tank missile fire.
A total of 48 persons have been killed by rocket and mortar fire, and two persons have been killed by anti-tank missiles.
According to the Israel Security Agency reports, in 2013 (until 31 March 2013), Palestinian organizations fired 15 rockets from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, compared with 2,157 rockets and 175 mortar shells that were fired in all of 2012 (most of them during operation "Pillar of Defense").

Log splitter
this wiki
A log splitter is a piece of machinery or equipment used for splitting firewood from softwood or hardwood logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds), usually by chainsaw or on a saw bench. Many log splitters consist of a hydraulic or electrical rod and piston assembly and these are often rated by the tons of force they can generate. The higher the pressure rating, the greater the thickness or length of the rounds that can be split.
Hydraulic actuated Log Splitters are generally designed for mounting on the 3 point linkage of a tractor.
Most log splitter models for home use have a rating around 10 tons, but professional hydraulic models may exert 25 tons of force or more. There are also manual log splitters, which use mechanical leverage to force logs through a sharpened blade assembly and screw or 'corkscrew' types that are driven directly from an agricultural tractor's power take-off shaft where the splitter is mounted on the three point linkage.
Splitting logs for fire wood.
Power sourceEdit
A simple log splitter may be powered by an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump or by gasoline or diesel engine with or without a tractor. The non-electric versions can be used remotely where the splitter can be moved to the location of the cut wood source. Split logs can then be loaded into trucks, trailers or bulk bags.
No matter what the power source, a log splitter either uses a hydraulic piston to drive the log through a stationary blade or a rotating cone shaped screw mandrel that pulls the log up over a wedge. Some models have attachments that prevent the split logs from falling to the ground allowing the operator to reposition the logs quickly for a second pass on the log splitter. Some cone or screw splitters are mounted on steel platforms mounted on a 3-point linkage that allow the log to be repeatedly split into smaller pieces without putting the wood down and up again.
Excavator mounted versions are now sold commercial to suit machine from under 1 ton for home use up to full size 20 on + machines for forestry contractors.
Although smaller firewood splitters are intended for home, there are now many commercial units available. Some commercial splitters are part of a 'firewood processor' that saw logs of timber into lengths, split them, and then carry the wood up an inclined conveyor onto a pile or into a bag, truck or trailer. Speciality producers such as those producing maple syrup use units that split 4 foot lengths. Machines that split and point wood for fence post also exist though they are few in number as it is generally safer and more convenient to saw the posts.
The rising cost of domestic heating gas oil has reawakened a desire for alternative fuel sources and burning wood is carbon neutral. Modern wood burning stoves are efficient and safe. Many consumers that would not have considered splitting their own logs a few years ago are now burning wood fuel for both ecological and economical reasons.
Although a good log splitter can save the operator hours of labour, it is not possible to make it completely safe. Only trained adults should operate a log splitter, since anything caught between the log and the splitting blade will receive at least 10 tons of pressure. Most hydraulic machines now have 'two handed operation' for safety which means that both of the operator's hands are needed to actuate the splitter thus keeping them out of the way of the moving blade. Moreover when using it a safety zone should be established around the splitter to prevent injury from flying splinters of wood.
The behaviour of each log can not be predicted, so a safety zone should be established around the splitter to prevent injury from flying splinters of wood. Helpers can pick up the individual pieces of firewood, but should not stand near the log splitter while it is in operation.

Reading, writing and arithmetic made way for heels, halter tops and high fashion at Flowing Wells High School Friday.
More than 90 young models, nearly all Flowing Wells students, took to the runway in the school's auditorium, donning sleek dresses, breezy summer attire, snappy men's ensembles and fantastical costumes.
The 140 pieces were created entirely by students enrolled in the Flowing Wells fashion and theater costume design programs at the school, 3725 N. Flowing Wells Road.
Each walk down the runway was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience of nearly 500 people.
Natalie Granados, a senior at Flowing Wells and an advanced fashion design student, showcased seven of her own pieces, including a cream-colored gown accented with ruffles and studs.
"I was nervous that my models would mess up," Granados, 17, said. "But they did such a great job."
Kimberly Loyd, the fashion and theater costume design instructor at Flowing Wells, coordinated Friday's show.
Loyd, a fashion design graduate from Columbia College in Columbia, Mo., came to Flowing Wells from Kansas City, Mo., three years ago.
It was Loyd's idea to hold an annual fashion show created by students.
Her first attempt, dubbed Fusion, was held in 2011.
"I wanted there to be a way for the students to show off their skills," she said. "I also felt it would be a great way to promote the program."
The event was a success on both counts.
The number of students in her three classes - beginners, advanced and costume design - jumped from 28 last year to 76 this year.
"Kids saw that they were able to get involved and construct something," Loyd said. "Their friends saw it and said, 'Fashion! Fun!' "
It also helped raise funds.
The money raised from the $3 to $5 admission to the shows goes back into the fashion department to help pay for supplies and field trips.
"They have had some really good exhibits in Phoenix," Loyd said.
Projects were stepped up at this year's fashion show, aptly called Fusion 2.
The evening was divided into several segments, starting with party dresses that students created for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, "M.A.D.D. for Fashion" event, held in November.
From there, models appeared wearing prom dresses, wedding gowns and elaborate costumes from the school's theatrical productions of "The Wizard of Oz" and "Attack of the Pom Pom Zombies."
During the wearable-art portion of the evening, students appeared in outfits made with My Little Pony toys, toilet paper and festive Christmas garlands.
Designer Christina Drennan dressed her model in sculpted pieces of newspaper. Full pages of print were ruffled to make up a skirt, with braided strips of hot-glued pages covering a red fabric top.
"I wanted to do something that involved recycling," Drennan said. "It was so weird and different from what other people were doing."
"I love wearable art because it pushes their creativity," Loyd said. "They can't go to a catalog and find a pattern. It is an opportunity for them to go wild and crazy."
Among the most popular designers of the night was Granados, who was honored with an award from Loyd after the show for best overall construction.
Granados got involved in the Flowing Wells fashion program her junior year.
She knew very little about creating dresses when she started, but was inspired by her parents, who worked in clothing factories in Los Angeles when she was a child.
"Their passion really got me into it," she said.
Granados picked things up quickly. Pretty soon it was all she could think about.
She spent hours after school and on weekends getting her pieces ready for this year's event.
"Fashion is just my thing," she said. "I really want to go that direction. I want to end up with clothing lines like Alexander McQueen or Diane Von Furstenberg."
Loyd hopes the fashion shows and classes are just as encouraging for all of her students.
"Even if you don't want to get into fashion, you still come away with skills that can earn you money," she said.
"I love wearable art because it pushes their creativity. They can't go to a catalog and find a pattern. It is an opportunity for them to go wild and crazy."

About the Book
While their husbands are out making money, making deals, and making . . . whatever, the trophy wives of New Falls are slipping not so quietly into middle age. Lauren, Bridget, Dana, and Caroline pretend to each other that their only problems are parties, plastic surgery, and which Mikimotos to buy. But behind the closed doors of their gracious homes there are broken hearts and broken promises . . . the stuff that gossip is made of.
And the newest dish du jour is a whopper! The husband of one of their oldest friends, who dumped his wife for a newer model—a sexier, flashier, sleeker hairdresser—is found dead, his ex-wife, Kitty, standing over him . . . holding the smoking gun.
Kitty claims she's innocent, and there are plenty of women around town who might want the rat dead. Now it's up to the women to discover where in their high-priced suburb a killer is hiding, and which good little wife has done something very, very wicked.

Gale forces winds across the north and east of Scotland have forced the abandonment of Saturday's planned third round in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
European Tour Tournament Director David Garland was left with little option as severe gusts – some reaching over 50 miles per hour, made playing conditions impossible at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns with balls moving on several putting surfaces.
Saturday's third round will now take place on Sunday October 4 – with all players at the same venues in their original start times – with the final round, featuring the top 60 professionals and those tied for 60th place alongside the top 20 amateur teams, taking place on the Old Course in St Andrews on Monday October 5
"The forecast that we have from every source is for the winds to strengthen during the day, certainly between 11am and 3pm although they will start to taper off into the evening so we have had to abandon the possibility of any play today," said Garland.
"We are very confident that, although it will be very breezy tomorrow and Monday, that we should be able to finish on time on Monday afternoon.
"Every course was unplayable. Here at St Andrews the exposed holes such as six and seven and 11 and 12 out in the Eden Estuary had problems; at Kingbarns the exposed greens were the fourth and the ninth; while at Carnoustie the fifth green was unplayable.
"We monitored the situation from 7am this morning right up until we made the decision at 9.30am but in all that time, when we had any gusts, the balls were moving on all the putting surfaces we were watching which rendered the course unplayable.
"Theoretically we could have played the tournament over three rounds but we took the decision that this is such a prestigious tournament, with a prize fund of US$5 million, that we wanted to go into Monday. Our stated goal is to play every tournament over 72 holes and going into Monday is a possibility when you begin any golf tournament."
The decision was met with universal praise by the competitors in this, the ninth Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, including by two of the three players in a share of the lead at the halfway stage, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Richie Ramsay of Scotland.
McIlroy said: "You can't argue with the decision. I think everyone can see that, especially here at Kingsbarns. I am just looking at the ninth hole just now and with the way that wind is blowing you wouldn't be able to get your ball near that green in three shots, never mind trying to putt on it.
"I think the forecast for the next two days is pretty good so if we have to wait till Monday to finish then we have to wait."
Ramsay said: "I think the right decision has been made. You look at some of the exposed greens on these courses and the balls are just blowing off in all directions so you couldn't play in that wind. I am struggling to keep my balance standing here at the moment.
"Plus if you put everyone out there and had to bring them on and off the course throughout the day it would be pretty tough to co-ordinate that with three courses."
Tournament organisers also confirmed that spectators would be given free entry for both the final day's play on Sunday October 5 and Monday October 6.

Journal Chacham's Journal: Chronicle: Came from from St. Louis 4
So, i drove back from St. Louis on Monday. About 8.5 hours, and considering a few stops, that was good time.
I made a mistake though. When driving on the freeway for a long time i don't always check my blindspot when changing lanes. Basically, if i'm passing cars and i know who is ahead of me, who i just passed, i can see the passed car in the rear-view mirror, and there are no other entrances to the road, i'll change lanes without turning my head. That's fine, but, when i got off I-69 and onto I-94, i switched lanes without checking. Bad idea. I heard a honk and remembered that i should have checked. Oops.
That's one of those times i wish i had a scrolling message thingy on my tail, so i could tell him i was sorry.

Small in scale, but beautifully written, extremely well-played and sensually lensed.
Small in scale but beautifully written, extremely well-played and sensually lensed, "Love Like Poison," from first-time French helmer Katell Quillevere, centers on a middle-class 14-year-old in the Breton countryside about to celebrate her confirmation in the Catholic church. Winner of the 2010 Jean Vigo prize, this naturalistic coming-of-ager encompasses the cycle of life from adolescence through infirmity, confirming the ongoing demands of the flesh and the way they frequently conflict with religious faith. Kudos, strong reviews and name adult cast will draw auds in French-lingo territories with extended life in ancillary. Quality fest item could find niche distribution offshore.
When Anna (newcomer Clara Augarde) arrives at the remote village home of her ailing grandfather (Michel Galabru) during spring break from her Catholic boarding school, she finds her father (Thierry Neuvic) has finally left her devout mother (Lio). While her mother seeks consolation from local priest Father Francois (Stefano Cassetti), Anna cares for her earthy grandfather and explores her budding sexuality with neighboring teen Pierre (Youen Leboulanger-Gourvil). After a trio of short films, Quillevere appears an assured director of actors, achieving an impressive credibility in both familial heart-to-hearts and scenes of teens on their own. Although her depiction of the relationship between the mother and the priest occasionally feels a little heavy-handed, she makes sure the pic underscores the theme of contradictory impulses between one's imposed education and inherent instincts. Obviously a personal story, the prize-winning script by Quillevere and Mariette Desert opposes Anna's youth and beauty with her mother's jealousy over the loss of same and her bon vivant grandfather's last stirrings of physical pleasure. Anna's wrestling with her faith is mirrored by Father Francois's own struggle, while the protag's essential innocence and the provincial setting offers a refreshing change from the current spate of pics about promiscuous, disaffected urban teens. As Anna, curvaceous redhead Augarde reps a true find. With her lively intelligence, malleable features and sexy figure, she can look forward to a long career. Meanwhile, octogenarian comic actor Galabru steals every scene he's in, bringing an affecting poignancy to a man who has lived life to the fullest but now faces death. In smaller parts, the rest of the adult cast acquit themselves strongly. Standing out among solid craft credits, the lush location camerawork of Tom Harari fluidly shifts between handheld and dolly work. The well-chosen music track, including hymns and American folktunes, anchors the pic's mood of melancholy and rapture. French title refers to a Serge Gainsbourg song, though sales agents may want to find a more resonant, less forbidding English moniker.Love Like Poison

Five-Spiced Lamb Loin with Eggplant Caponata
Serves 4 to 6- For the lamb

- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil, as needed
- For the five-spice blend
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- ½ teaspoon pink peppercorns
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- For the eggplant caponata
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggplants, diced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 plum tomatoes, diced
- 10 Sicilian olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
For the five spice blend: In a small pan over low heat, combine the spices and toast until very fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and blend to a powder; reserve.
For the eggplant caponata: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the eggplant with a sprinkling of salt and cook, stirring, for four minutes. Add the onion, garlic, tomato, olives, capers, and raisins. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to soften and blend, about 15 minutes. Add the vinegar, place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If the caponata seems too dry, add water as needed.) Season to taste and keep warm.
For the lamb: While the caponata is cooking, season the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan over high heat, sear the lamb in olive oil on all sides until browned. Remove from the pan and coat evenly with the five-spice mixture. Place lamb on a rack, and roast in the 400°F oven about 10 minutes, until lamb reaches an internal temperature of 130°F. Remove and rest at room temperature for about five minutes.
To serve: Slice the lamb racks between every two bones. Serve two slices per person, with the eggplant caponata.
Kona Kampachi Sashimi with Lime Gelée, Carrot and Ginger Purée, and Micro Cilantro
Serves 4 to 6- 1 fillet fresh Kona Kampachi, skin removed and trimmed
- For the lime gelée
- 5 sheets gelatin
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup lime juice
- For the carrot and ginger purée
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 small onion, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 small leek, rinsed and sliced thin
- 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin
- Juice of 3 limes, plus additional to taste
- 2 cups carrot juice
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 pint micro cilantro
For the lime gelée: Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 20 minutes. In a small saucepot over low heat, dissolve the sugar in the lime juice. Remove the gelatin sheets from the water, squeeze out excess water, and then dissolve completely in the hot lime juice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and transfer to a shallow, flat container. Chill in the freezer until set, about 15 minutes, then cut into desired shapes.
For the carrot and ginger purée: In a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, add the olive oil, carrots, onions, leeks, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for about 15 minutes, or until very tender. Transfer the vegetables to a blender with the lime juice and puree, adding the carrot juice gradually until the texture is smooth and thick, like a loose mayonnaise. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
Finish the dish: Slice the Kona Kampachi very thinly, against the grain of the fish. Skin the avocado, remove the pit, and slice; season with lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the sliced fish onto 4 to 6 chilled plates in a decorative fashion, garnishing each with lime gelée, carrot puree, avocado, and micro cilantro.

STāSIS Engineering
When Audi owners want to "supe up" their rides, it's a West Virginia company that helps them do it. STāSIS Engineering, based in Jefferson County, offers dealership level assistance to Audi customers who want everything from cosmetic updates, like larger, fancier wheels and different-sounding exhaust systems, to internal upgrades like higher performance capable engines.
"Our background building award-winning race cars enables us to bring racing technology to the mainstream automobile market, creating street cars with incredible performance and giving customers a taste of the exotic car experience at a fraction of the price," said Paul Lambert, president and CEO of STāSIS.
The company, which was originally based in Sonoma, Calif., moved to W.Va. in 2009, to take advantage of the state's better business climate and to be closer to Audi North American headquarters, which is 45 minutes away in Herndon, Va. The move has already started paying dividends. STāSIS tripled its sales last year and may be on track to triple again in 2011.
"It's been a very strong move for us. We're within four hours of about 40 million people, and yet we're in West Virginia. We have a nice, good quality of life, fairly low-cost ability to run a business and we're still within proximity of major metropolitan areas and consumers.
"We're very pleased in West Virginia. We were impressed with the openness of state government to work with us, and work with us in ways that were specific to our business. It was obvious to us that it was a state government that was paying attention to individuals."
Lambert said that West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle has an excellent pool of talent from which to draw.
"There is a strong workforce through this Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern corridor that is often commuting an hour, two hours in and out of Baltimore and D.C. Many of them are coming out here to live or they're living in West Virginia already. Our business is unique in the diversity of the workforce that we utilize. We are an engineering business fundamentally, so we are using very professional skill sets. But we're also using skill sets that are trade skills; very high-quality trade skills, be that fabrication, welding, prototyping, machining. We have nice access to both of those here. You've got good trades people and you have good engineering professionals. That's the mix that we need."
During the summer of 2011, the company will move from its temporary location in Kearneysville to a new $2.5 million headquarters at Summit Point Motorsports Park. Todd Cope, the company's chief financial officer, said plans call for more than doubling the current staff from 23 to 50 over the next couple of years. "We have the option of more land and could potentially have 100 or more people at that site. Things are growing that quickly. We're going to need people to support that growth."

"Stop Toad! I won't let you commit suicide via blue shell!" Yoshi called out, realizing that the blue shell would home in on whoever was in the lead. "Banana cream tuesday smelly Godzilla crescendo baseball!" Toad replied. The clear expression of confusion on his face said it all: Toad had gone daffy. Tears began to leak from the corner of the mushroom midget's eyes as some small part of him realized what he was about to do, but his sanity remained only a passenger in his mind. It was the voice without reason at the wheel today. "Curtain froth web peel. Stem butter branch nugget?" he whispered sincerely. His legendary final words. With that, he released the shell.

Vermont is more than just the home of Howard Dean, one-time presidential candidate and perennial American Don Quixote. In fact, Vermont is much more progressive, and much more solid in its progressive traditions, than Governor Dean ever has been. If you want to learn about grassroots democracy in action, Vermont is the best place in the world to go.
To understand Vermont, think Bernie Sanders, not Howard Dean.
The people of Vermont are struggling, just like everyone else, to find a balance between love of the land and love of the people who inhabit the land. Vermont is a great place to live, and so threatens to be burst open by newcomers from New York City and suburban New England. Even WalMart is threatening to set up shop in Vermont, though the locals are fighting the sweatshop giant tooth and nail.
Given the amount of progressive activity going on in Vermont, there's no way that we can find all of the state's progressive organizations all on our own. New groups are being created all the time, and some old ones fall by the wayside. So, if you know of any progressive candidates, information resources or organizations in Vermont that we don't have listed here, let us know so we can consider including them in our growing index of local progressives.

yes, a lot of steps. I did the dough/toasting of nuts/lekvar the night before as well, so that most definitely helped out!
Mine however were WAY to overstuffed. I guess I just wanted a lot of the yummy goodness. Your nice little rolls look like they did a better job keeping it all together than mine =)

I'm in love with your photo, Steph… gorgeous! 🙂
Comment by Jessica of My Baking Heart— March 6, 2012 #
Oh yum! Your food always looks so incredibly good. I, too, am a fan of rolling rugelach up in a log and then slicing. I started doing that last holiday season because my crescents just weren't coming out nicely (though I agree the dough does get quite soft). I don't think I'll ever go back to crescents now, as I think they're just so pretty as pinwheels. And plum butter… I will have to give that one a try 🙂
Comment by Janaeanae— March 6, 2012 #
Steph – these are just GORGEOUS! I really like that you didn't do the cinnamon sugar mixture everywhere, they look pretty with the contrast.
Comment by Gretchen Noelle— March 6, 2012 #
That is one gorgeous photo – perfect pinwheels! I skipped refrigerating the dough after rolling and mine were a little … crooked. 😉
