First Prize Winner $750
Jacob Fry
Glendora, California
Thirteen-year-old Jake tackles everyday recipes with the imagination of an inventor. In fact, his creations are so unique (and delicious) that a local bakery featured his German chocolate cupcakes with Heath bar bits and caramel whipped cream frosting in their shop. His dad not only sparked Jake's interest in baking, but Dad's love for Biscoff cookies (a caramel-flavored cookie) inspired Jake to experiment with the flavor as a base for his winning Rockin' Shortbread Cupcakes. With such culinary innovation, it's no surprise that Jake wants to someday start his own restaurant.
The food he could eat every day: Homemade crepes—especially with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries!
His silliest cooking memory: I forgot about a pot full of apples and brown sugar that I had left on the stove, and when I came back it was not only burnt, but sparks were flying out of it!
His advice for wannabe chefs: Start with an easy recipe, and then keep experimenting.

Gabon to Seize Field as Dispute With Sinopec Unit Worsens
Antoine Lawson and Benjamin HaasGabon's oil ministry plans to seize an oil field from China Petrochemical Corp.'s Addax Petroleum as a dispute over production contracts worsens.
Gabonese Oil Minister Etienne Ngoubou will not renew Addax's license at he Tsiengui field because it had breached the law, a ministry official said today. Gabon already seized Addax's Obangue field. Two other companies face similar actions, the official said, declining to name them.
Addax believes the government is in breach of contract over the Obangue takeover in January, Gastien Matsanhanga, an Addax representative in Gabon, said by phone yesterday. Three judges have been appointed to arbitrate on the dispute, he said.
Workers at Obangue are unhappy with the deterioration in working conditions since the seizure, Michael Wora, a technician at the site said in an interview. Permanent contracts have not been given to the workers as promised by the oil minister, he said.
"The production of Obangue dropped since January 2013 from 12,000 barrels a day to less than 6,000 barrels," he said. "Communities living around Obangue lost their benefits on health care, transportation. The majority of employees wish to leave the Gabon Oil Company and work with Addax."
The Financial Times reported the plans to seize fields earlier, citing Ngoubou, the oil minister.
Four calls to the office number of Lv Dapeng, spokesman for China Petrochemical, or Sinopec Group, went unanswered.
"When some of these assets were acquired, oil prices were low, and now prices are higher," Laban Yu, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Jefferies Group, said by phone today. "Maybe the government is hoping to get a larger share of profits. These are a zit compared to the rest of Sinopec's assets."
Addax, based in Geneva, produced 18,100 barrels a day from the area that includes Tsiengui in 2008, the last year for which data is available. China Petroleum and Chemical Corp., the listed unit of Sinopec Group, produced 328 million barrels of crude oil last year.
Gabon Oil Co. was created by the government in June 2011 to manage state shares in oil assets.

A legal battle is brewing over the classic arcade game Skee-Ball.
- LOOK: Newborn Crane Chick
The suburban Philadelphia company that owns the trademark is at odds with the New York creators of Brewskee-Ball.
Participants in Brewskee-Ball drink beer while competing for high scores in the bowling-style game. The league is based at the Brooklyn bar Full Circle.
League founder Eric Pavony tells The Intelligencer the CEO of New Britain Township, Pa.-based Skee-Ball Inc. gave the outfit his blessing in 2005.
But Skee-Ball Inc. sued Full Circle for trademark infringement. Full Circle countersued, claiming Skee-Ball's trademark is generic and should be canceled.
The lawsuits have been joined and the case is pending in federal court in New York.
Brewskee-Ball supporters set up a crowd-funding site this week to help with legal fees.

Alyson Books, formerly known as Alyson Publications, is a book publishing house which specialises in LGBT fiction and non-fiction. Former publisher Don Weise described it as "the world's oldest and largest publisher of LGBT literature" and "the home of award-winning books in the areas of memoir, history, humor, commercial fiction, mystery, and erotica, among many others".[1]
Founded in Boston, USA, in 1980 by Sasha Alyson,[2] Alyson Publications began in 1990 to sell LGBT-themed children's books, entitled Alyson Wonderland.[3] It was acquired by Liberation Publications in 1995[4] and sold to Regent Entertainment Media, Inc. in 2008,[5][6] and in November, as Alyson Books, named Don Weise its publisher. He works presently from the company's New York City office, having previously been Senior Editor at Carroll & Graf, responsible for the launching of that publisher's gay and lesbian division, and also at Cleis Press.[7] He has written of his commitment to Alyson's traditional areas of specialisation, but has stated that he is keen also to embrace "more serious nonfiction—particularly in the areas of current affairs, politics, self-help, and autobiography—as well as literary fiction and works by today's most respected LGBT authors."[1] More recently, Publishers Weekly announced that Alyson Books will switch to digital (e-book) publishing only, with plans to convert backlist titles in this fashion.[8] Don Weise is no longer with Alyson.

Colorado Chriswrote a review of Race Face Turbine Dropper Seatpost 1x Remote on August 21, 2016
Game changer! Highly recommend
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I installed on an ibis hd3 with kev integra dropper. I used my dropper before but couldn't reach up and over bar on the kev lever once I was in a tight situation. With this lever I am dropping my post more often and without the dangers of hand nearly coming off the bar with the old lever! Best upgrade in a long time. Also the lever is smooth and uses the "spring" tension on your post. Came with lever, extra cable to reroute after cutting your old one and pulling it out. Got the orange one so it reminds me even more to use it since it stands out.

Zypadhera (olanzapine)
Zypadhera injection contains the active ingredient olanzapine, which is a type of medicine known as an atypical antipsychotic.
What is it used for?
- Schizophrenia (in people who have been stabilised on olanzapine treatment taken by mouth first).
How does it work?
Zypadhera injection contains the active ingredient olanzapine, which is a type of medicine known as an atypical antipsychotic.
Olanzapine works in the brain, where it affects various neurotransmitters, in particular serotonin (5HT) and dopamine. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells.
Dopamine and serotonin are neurotransmitters known to be involved in regulating mood and behaviour, amongst other things. Psychotic illness is considered to be caused by disturbances in the activity of neurotransmitters (mainly dopamine) in the brain. Schizophrenia is known to be associated with an overactivity of dopamine in the brain, and this may be associated with the delusions and hallucinations that are a feature of this disease.
Olanzapine works by blocking the receptors in the brain that dopamine acts on. This prevents the excessive activity of dopamine and helps to control schizophrenia.
Schizophrenic patients may experience 'positive symptoms' (such as hallucinations, disturbances of thought, hostility) and/or 'negative symptoms' (such as lack of emotion and social isolation). Olanzapine is effective in relieving both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, whereas the conventional antipsychotics are usually less effective against the negative symptoms.
Zypadhera injection is a type of injection called a depot injection. It is administered into the muscle of the buttock, where it forms a reservoir of medicine that is slowly released into the bloodstream. The injection is given either once every two weeks or once every four weeks, depending on the dose needed.
How is it given?
- This medicine is for injection into a muscle only. It must not be administered under the skin or into a vein. You will be given the injection by a medical professional who has been appropriately trained in the technique.
- One injection is given into the muscle of the buttock once every two weeks, or once every four weeks.
- You will need to stay in the clinic for at least three hours after having each injection, so that the medical staff can check that it is not causing any problems. This is because sometimes the olanzapine can enter the bloodstream too quickly after the injection, which could cause symptoms of an overdose. These are: excessive sleepiness, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, irritability, anxiety, aggression, an increase in blood pressure, difficulty talking, weakness, difficulty walking, muscle stiffness or shaking, unusual movements (particularly of the face or tongue) or convulsions. You will be monitored for these symptoms for at least three hours after your injection. If you do experience these problems the symptoms usually resolve within 24 to 72 hours after having the injection.
- The symptoms listed above may also occur more than three hours after the injection. Although this is very rare, your doctor or nurse will want to check that you are not going home on your own after your injection. You should not drive or operate machinary for the rest of the day and you should contact your doctor or nurse straight away if you notice any of the symptoms listed above.
- Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you should not suddenly stop treatment with this medicine, even if you feel better and think you don't need it any more. This is because the medicine controls the symptoms of the illness but doesn't actually cure it. This means that if you suddenly stop treatment by missing an injection your symptoms could come back. Stopping the medicine suddenly may also rarely cause withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, nausea, vomiting, difficulty sleeping or tremor. When treatment with this medicine is stopped, it should be done gradually, following the instructions given by your doctor.
- This medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. If affected do not drive or operate machinery. You should not drink alcohol while you are being treated with this medicine because it is likely to make any drowsiness or dizziness worse.
- This medicine can occasionally cause your blood pressure to drop when you move from a lying down or sitting position to sitting or standing. This may make you feel dizzy or unsteady. To avoid this try getting up slowly. If you do feel dizzy, sit or lie down until the symptoms pass.
- If you are over 65 years of age, your doctor may want to regularly monitor your blood pressure while you are being treated with this medicine.
- This medicine can cause some people to put on weight. Talk to your doctor about this before you start treatment so that you can discuss strategies, such as diet and exercise, for minimising any weight gain.
- Your doctor may want to monitor your weight, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and liver function while you are being treated with this medicine.
- You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience the following symptoms while being treated with this medicine: high fever, sweating, muscle stiffness, faster breathing and drowsiness or sleepiness. These symptoms may be due to a rare side effect known as the neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and your treatment may need to be stopped.
- You should also consult your doctor immediately if you experience abnormal movements, particularly of the face, lips, jaw and tongue, while being treated with this medicine. These symptoms may be indicative of a rare side effect known as tardive dyskinesia, and your doctor may need you to stop treatment with this medicine, or decrease your dose.
- The components of tobacco smoke can cause this medicine to be removed from the body faster than normal. If you are a smoker, you should let your doctor know if you are giving up smoking while taking this medicine, as your dose of this medicine may possibly need to be altered.
Use with caution in
- Elderly people.
- Decreased kidney function.
- Decreased liver function.
- People with raised liver enzymes.
- People with raised levels of fats such as cholesterol or triglycerides in their blood.
- People with diabetes or who are at risk of developing diabetes. (If you have diabetes your blood sugar levels should be monitored closely while you are having treatment with this medicine, because it may increase your blood sugar.)
- Men with an enlarged prostate gland (prostatic hypertrophy).
- People with inactivity in the gut that is causing an obstruction in the intestines (paralytic ileus).
- People with low levels of white blood cells in their blood (leucopenia or neutropenia).
- People with decreased production of blood cells by the bone marrow, eg due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or illness.
- People with a history of decreased blood cell production caused by a medicine.
- People with diseases or conditions that involve increased production of blood cells or bone marrow tissue.
- People taking other medicines that can affect liver function or white blood cells.
- People with a history of seizures, eg epilepsy.
- People with conditions that increase the risk of epilepsy or convulsions, eg brain damage or withdrawal from alcohol.
- People with an abnormal heart rhythm seen on a heart monitoring trace (ECG) as a 'prolonged QT interval'.
- People taking medicines that can cause a 'prolonged QT interval' (your doctor will know, but see end of this factsheet for some examples).
- People with heart failure or an enlarged heart (cardiac hypertrophy).
- People with low levels of magnesium (hypomagnesaemia) or potassium (hypokalaemia) in their blood .
- People with risk factors for having a stroke, for example a history of stroke or mini-stroke (TIA), smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), or a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.
- People with a personal or family history of blood clots (venous thromboembolism), for example in a vein of the leg (deep vein thrombosis) or in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- People with other risk factors for getting a blood clot, for example smoking, being overweight, taking the contraceptive pill, being over 40, recent major surgery or being immobile for prolonged periods.
Not to be used in
- People who have not first been stabilised on olanzapine taken by mouth.
- People who are in an acutely agitated or severely psychotic state that needs to be rapidly controlled.
- People with a known risk for closed-angle glaucoma.
- Women who are breastfeeding.
- Zypadhera injection is not recommended for people over 75 years of age, or for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
- This medicine is not licensed or recommended for treating behavioural problems or psychosis in elderly people with dementia, as antipsychotic medicines such as this one have been shown to increase the risk of stroke and death in this group of patients.
- This medicine is not recommended for treating psychotic symptoms caused by dopamine agonist medicines in people with Parkinson's disease, as it may make the psychotic symptoms and Parkinson's symptoms worse.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy. If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- The safety of this medicine during pregnancy has not been established. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy unless considered essential by your doctor. If the medicine is used during the third trimester it could cause side effects or withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth and the baby may need extra monitoring because of this. Seek further medical advice from your doctor.
- If you do get pregnant while taking this medicine it is important to consult your doctor straight away for advice. You should not suddenly stop treatment with this medicine unless your doctor tells you to, as this could cause your symptoms to come back.
- This medicine passes into breast milk and could be harmful to a nursing infant. Women who need treatment with this medicine should not breastfeed their infants. Seek medical advice from your doctor.

The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer. For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.
There may be an increased risk of drowsiness and sedation if you take any of the following (which can also cause drowsiness) while on treatment with Zypadhera:
- alcohol
- barbiturates, eg amobarbital, phenobarbital
- benzodiazepines, eg diazepam, temazepam
- sedating antihistamines, eg chlorphenamine, hydroxyzine
- sleeping tablets, eg zopiclone
- strong opioid painkillers, eg morphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine
- tricyclic antidepressants, eg amitriptyline.
Olanzapine may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of medicines that lower blood pressure, including medicines used to treat high blood pressure (antihypertensives) and medicines that lower blood pressure as a side effect, eg benzodiazepines. If you are taking medicines that lower blood pressure you should tell your doctor if you feel dizzy or faint after starting treatment with this medicine, as your doses may need adjusting.
There is an increased risk of a very slow heart rate, low blood pressure and slow, shallow breathing (respiratory depression) if benzodiazepines such as diazepam are given by injection to people who have had this injection.
The following medicines may reduce the breakdown of olanzapine by the liver. If you are prescribed any of these your doctor may need to reduce your olanzapine dose:
- ciprofloxacin
- fluvoxamine.
The following medicines may increase the breakdown of olanzapine by the liver, which could make it less effective. Your doctor may need to increase your dose of olanzapine if you are also taking one of these medicines:
- carbamazepine
- ritonavir.
Olanzapine may oppose the effect of medicines for Parkinson's disease that work by enhancing the activity of dopamine in the brain (dopamine agonists), for example levodopa, ropinirole, pergolide, bromocriptine.
Olanzapine may oppose the effect of anticonvulsant medicines used to treat epilepsy.
Olanzapine may increase blood sugar levels and disturb the control of diabetes. People with diabetes may need an adjustment in the dose of their antidiabetic medication.
Olanzapine may oppose the effect of histamine (used to treat leukaemia) and is not recommended for people having this treatment.
There may be an increased risk of an abnormal heart rhythm (seen as a 'prolonged QT interval' on a heart monitoring trace or ECG) if olanzapine is used with any of the following medicines:
- antiarrhythmics (medicines to treat abnormal heart beats), eg amiodarone, procainamide, disopyramide, sotalol
- the antihistamines astemizole, mizolastine or terfenadine
- arsenic trioxide
- atomoxetine
- certain antidepressants, eg amitriptyline, imipramine, maprotiline
- certain antimalarials, eg halofantrine, chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine, Riamet
- certain other antipsychotics, eg thioridazine, chlorpromazine, sertindole, haloperidol
- cisapride
- intravenous erythromycin or pentamidine
- methadone
- moxifloxacin
- medicines that can alter the levels of salts such as potassium or magnesium in your blood, eg diuretics such as furosemide.
There may be an increased risk of side effects on the liver if olanzapine is used with other medicines that may have adverse effects on the liver.
There may be an increased risk of a drop in white blood cell count if olanzapine is used with other medicines that may have this adverse effect, in particular valproate. If you are having olanzapine in combination with valproate it is important to tell your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms: sore throat, mouth ulcers, high temperature (fever), or general illness or infection. Your doctor may want to take a blood test to check your blood cells.

2011 Fall
A best-selling book from the 1980s proclaimed: "All I ever really needed to know, I learned in kindergarten." Richard Haut, Ph.D., can relate to that feeling-his present career in environmental research was strongly influenced by childhood advice from his mother.
"My mom told me three things that really stayed with me," he recalls. That advice: Leave the world better than you found it; always remember to take just what you need and nothing more; and, if you harm somebody or
something, make it right.
Today, Haut is senior research scientist at the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), which focuses much of its attention on helping human civilization live in harmony with nature.
Haut earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Rose-Hulman in 1974, followed by a master's in aerospace engineering from the University of Tennessee and a Ph.D. from Old Dominion University. An interest in fluid mechanics led him to the oil and gas industry, where he spent much of his career at Exxon.
Needless to say, that industry hasn't always gotten along well with environmentalists. Haut's current work is all about exploring ways to make the business more environmentally friendly by demonstrating that where there is a will, there's a way for the environment and the energy business to coexist successfully.
At HARC, Haut has been principal investigator for the
Environmentally Friendly Drilling Systems program, aimed at reducing the impact of petroleum drilling and production. It identifies new technologies and helps to commercialize them. Haut also has been director of HARC's Sustainable Technologies Group, investigating everything from green building systems and materials reducing emissions into the air.
Haut's sphere of influence is growing all the time. He helped create the Houston chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, and played a key role in the Solar America Communities demonstration project in Houston. His expertise was tapped following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and he chairs the Environmental Advisory Group of the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America. Haut sees tremendous future in clean-burning natural gas, noting that America has a 175-year supply, and that automakers are working to build cars that are powered by natural gas.

Instead of leaving it up to the OS or putting the phone into a permanent sleep until you wake it, Deep Sleep Battery Saver will bring the phone out of sleep periodically to check for messages and alerts for you. Advertisement The app starts you off with five distinct profiles to choose from: Gentle, Balance, Strong, Aggressive, and Slumberer. Each profile gets more aggressive about the period of time between wake states and notification checks. In each case, the app will keep your phone in a deep sleep, and then wake the device for one minute to grab new messages, social notifications, updates, and so on. Any other time, your phone is in a deep sleep, saving battery.Deep Sleep Battery Saver also distinguishes between weekday and weekend profiles, day and night settings, and can even whitelist certain apps so they continue running while everything else is shut down (like a music player, for example.) The Pro version of the app allows you to set up your own custom profiles and toggle each setting individually. Hit the link at Google Play or check out the XDA thread below to see a more detailed description of how the app works, and definitely try the free version before shelling out for pro.

So my nightly curfew isn't going so well. I have every intention of hitting my 11pm mark, but something always seems to come up. I could list all of my excuses here – like the fact that Henry needed extra time to potty, a pressing email just had to be returned, or I had to make up a bottle for Deirdre for the morning – but they all sound so lame. I mean, I KNOW Henry needs about 20 minutes to do his deal right before bed…so why don't I just account for that fact, and start 20 minutes earlier? Well – because I'm stubborn, that's why. I want to eek out every last moment of time before going to bed – only to pay for it the next morning. If I go to bed at midnight, and Deirdre wakes up at 8am…then I'm already about an hour behind on my rest (I can't deny that 9 hours of sleep at night is perfect, while 8 hours is cutting it a little short.) I know I could catch that extra hour of sleep during Deirdre's morning nap, but you know me. I already have 14 things lined up that I want to get done during that precious window of time. So I need to make 11pm work. Good news is that I think I've found a solution. I'm calling it the "tent fix". Here's how it came about:
A couple of nights ago, I went to bed particularly later than I should have, like in the 12:15-12:30 range (and yes, Henry took a VERY long time outside…but that's no excuse.) I knew I needed to prepare myself to be tired the next morning…but lo' and behold, Miss Deirdre didn't stir until 9:45am. 9:45am! Can you believe it? I got all the sleep I needed, and then some. But you know what? I got lucky. She's not always going to sleep that long, and it's certainly not going to be relative to the amount of sleep I need from one night to the next. So to make sure my mind doesn't twist the circumstances of this one lucky night of sleep in such a way that convinces me that a 12am bedtime is acceptable, I've made a small little tent card that I keep on the kitchen counter. Know what it says? "You got lucky." It's true – and much more effective than if I wrote something like, "Go to bed" or even "11pm." I needed a subtle, amusing little poke to keep myself disciplined, and I think I've found it.
Having trouble making the decision to stick to something that's good for you and good for your health? Try a tent card. And if you do – let me know about it. I'd love to hear your good ideas!
On Friday, I'll include an excerpt from my book, Despite Lupus, on the subject of decision-making. Be sure to stop by and check it out!

Liner Note Author: Michael Ullman.
Recording information: Juan Le Pins, France.
Editor: Peter Pullman.
Unknown Contributor Roles: Duke Ellington & His Orchestra; Duke Ellington Orchestra; Robert Silverberg.
Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington did not team up in concert until relatively late in their careers (although she did record her Ellington Songbook with him in the '50s). This live double-LP actually finds Fitzgerald singing six numbers with the Jimmy Jones Trio and only "Mack the Knife" and a scat-filled "It Don't Mean a Thing" with the orchestra. Ellington has eight numbers for his band, mostly remakes of older tunes (including a guest appearance by former associate Ben Webster on "All Too Soon," a remarkable Buster Cooper trombone feature, and a rowdy version of "The Old Circus Train Turn-Around Blues"). This is a spirited set of music that with better planning could have been great. ~ Scott Yanow

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Taiwan business leader Jeffrey Koo Sr., who worked in his life to elevate the diplomatically isolated island's presence on the international stage, died yesterday in New York at age 79, Taiwan media reported today.
Koo, with his family, ranked No. 28 on the 2012 Forbes Taiwan Rich List with wealth of $1.1 billion. (Click here for a link to the list.)
The former presidential advisor chaired Chinatrust Financial Holding, one of Taiwan's largest financial services businesses. The company, like other financial institutions in Taiwan in recent years, has been trying to crack the mainland financial services market. Chinatrust Bank opened its first mainland branch earlier this year. Its Taipei-traded shares have gained about 7% in the past year.
The extended Koo clan has been one of Taiwan's wealthiest and most influential for decades. Koo's nephew Leslie ranked No. 24 on the Taiwan Rich List this year.
It wasn't immediately clear what impact Koo's death would have on the possible sale of the Taiwan TV and print operations of Hong Kong's Next Media to a Taiwan investor group of which Koo was a key member. Next's Hong Kong-traded shares have been suspended since Nov. 28 in connection with the transaction. (See Next's latest announcement on the sale here.)

Richard's kind of a treacherous menace to himself and everything around him, eh? What's next, the volcano turns out to be made of coal, catches on file from the spider web fiasco and fills the air with CO2, raising global temperature for generations to come? | |
Mon. 4/20/09 10:58am
"She calls Richard's attention by calling?" Way to narrate with narration. | |

I just think it's telling that Alice is protesting being 'touched by that woman' and Richard interjecting 'Not!' "The witch prepared Alice for the attack by stating in a calm. yet firm manner: Do not be alarmed, Alice but I am about to attack you from the rear. Alice braced herself appropriately." | |

Jen Lauren Grant seriously knows how to brighten a Wednesday. She sent along this gorgeous Beverly Hills soiree and, oh my goodness, is it amazing. From the breathtaking ceremony at the historic Greystone Mansion to the rooftop reception in West Hollywood, there's not a single moment that isn't dripping in fabulous style and sweet, sweet romance. Luckily, we have an entire evening to spend with every sophisticated detail, including that gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown and those stunning Badgley Mischka heels. Click here for more.
Click here for the FULL wedding!
From Jen of Jen Lauren Grant Photography… Tanya and Todd got married at the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The mansion itself is fascinating, with a history that includes a mysterious murder-suicide involving its original owner and a second life as one of Hollywood's favorite film locations. Tanya got ready nearby at The London West Hollywood while Todd got ready at home. We then headed over to Greystone for their "first look." Because we did a first look, we were able to spend lots of time shooting all over the grounds without feeling rushed or stressed. The cocktail hour and reception were both held on the rooftop of The London West Hollywood, which boasts food created by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

Synopsis: | Poor Morgan Freeman. He gets a chance to play the President of the United States only to have his term shortened by a dastardly comet the size of the Grand Canyon. Although his presidency would have been more interesting, the destruction's the star of this show, as well as the touchy-feely interaction of various two-dimensional characters. There's the astronauts (led by Duvall) sent into space to nuke the thing; ordinary teenager Leo (Wood) who initially discovered the rock; and career-conscious news anchor (Leoni), who first breaks the story. The all-star cast is underused, but lend the film a sense of gravity by their presence. The remaining stick figure characters evoke more yawns than tears. Good thing the comet comes along to, ironically, inject a little life into the flick. The special effects are the best in recent film history, and worth the long, laborious wait. |

Irvine World News increasing delivery days to five days a week to strengthen coverage and connections in Irvine
July 2, 2013 - In keeping with its mission of serving Orange County and helping its 34 communities grow and thrive, the Orange County Register is expanding delivery days for Irvine World News from twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays to five days a week, Monday through Friday, beginning July 22.
"For 43 years, Irvine World News has played a vital role in building community and connecting Irvine's diverse people, businesses and neighborhoods to one another," said Aaron Kushner, Register owner and Publisher. "As Irvine evolves into one of the most desirable places to live and work in the country, the Irvine World News is evolving right along with it by documenting the city's living history with greater depth and frequency."
Irvine World News is inserted with the Register for subscribers. Single copies of the Irvine World News are available inside the Register at more than 100 news rack and retail locations in Irvine.
"Irvine World News' expansion to a daily is the latest among several ongoing investments to grow community newspaper portfolio and enhance the value we provide to subscribers," said Eric Spitz, owner and President at Freedom Communications. "By offering subscribers more content about the cities they live and work in, and creating marketplaces within those cities that bring residents and businesses together, we will deliver a newspaper that is essential to people's lives and helps Orange County prosper."
City editor Jeff Rowe and community engagement editor Cerise Valenzuela have returned to the Register to support the Irvine World News expansion, with more than a dozen additional newsroom staff writing, editing and designing the paper.
Rob Curley, deputy editor of local news for the Register, said the Irvine World News is focusing its energies on being much more than just a great local newspaper of record, but instead on being much more of the "newspaper of interesting."
"Stories in the expanded Irvine World News will focus on improving readers' lives in some fashion, whether it's solving a problem or giving them a delightful gift of a story they wouldn't expect to see in their local paper," Curley said. "It seems like every time you read a list of one of the top places in the United States to live, Irvine is on that list. A city like that deserves to have one of the best local newspapers in the nation. We'll work toward that goal by not only expanding Irvine World News' distribution days, but also by drawing readers in with storytelling that emphasizes creativity and curiosity."
Curley added: "Each edition will have deeply engaging and personal stories that make it clear the Irvine World News is the community's newspaper, not our newspaper."
Primary coverage areas include village-by-village living, schools, business, sports, city government, health, arts and culture, Faith & Values, Voices (opinion), profiles of interesting people and a calendar of events.
Expanded business coverage will include:
- Columns on real estate, workplace/career issues, and Chamber of Commerce activities.
- Weekly coverage of science and technology.
- Tricks of the Trade (which websites, apps and tools do executives recommend).
- Small biz profiles.
- Born in Irvine (products/business ideas originating in R&D labs in Irvine).
- Stock listings for Irvine's public companies.
- A "movers and shakers" list (new hires, promotions).
- Vitals (business permit applications, bankruptcy filings, planning commission items).
- Irvine indicators (numbers of housing starts/permits, number of business permits).
Expanded sports coverage will include:
- College articles, Hot Shots photo coverage from UC Irvine, Irvine Valley and Concordia.
- More coverage of weekend high school games during the school year.
- OCVarsity Hot Shots photo coverage.
- Youth Sports.
- Scores, standings, schedules and top performers.
- Athlete of the Week.
- Press Box column by Tim Burt, one of the region's most-respected sports journalists, who has served as Irvine World News' sports editor since 1984.
Irvine World News will continue to invite the community to submit guest columns, stories, photos, event listings, ideas for weekly columns and letters to the editor.
To celebrate the launch, Irvine World News is hosting an invitation-only event next month for community and business leaders. The Irvine World News will also continue to actively collaborate with civic clubs, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and Chamber of Commerce organizations.
The expansion of Irvine World News is part of a larger strategy to add depth to local content and improve the overall quality of the Register's community newspaper portfolio. From November to February, the Register implemented a bold re-imagining of its 23 community newspapers that included adding nearly four times the content as their predecessors. The papers transitioned from tabloid format to a larger broadsheet format, matching the size of the Register, and added more profiles of inspiring people, event listings, photos, graphics and opinion columns offering a variety of perspectives. Irvine World News was one of the first community newspapers to debut its new broadsheet version on Nov. 29.
During the past nine months, the Register has made significant investments to create more value for subscribers. More than 350 people have been hired across the organization, and newsroom staff has doubled. The physical size of the newspaper has also increased by 70 percent. The Register has also launched more than a dozen new sections around key topics of interest, including business, faith and values, vehicles, fashion, movies, the arts, local universities and varsity sports. Subscribers also receive a weekly rotation of glossy magazines each Monday covering inspiring businesses, interesting people and places, and family issues and activities.
Valuable benefits are also available to seven-day subscribers through the Register Connect membership program, such as four-packs of Angels tickets, volunteer rewards and $100 gift cheques that benefit Orange County's nonprofit institutions.

The Shan people are a distinct ethnic group that today constitute Myanmar's largest minority group. However, from the 13th until the 16th Century, they dominated most of the country. They are largely Buddhist, and their language and customs are closely related to the Thai and Laotians their neighbors to the south and east. In the 19th Century, long after their power had eroded, they were distributed among thirty petty states that paid tribute first to the Burman King, then to the British. This arrangement remained more or less in tact until 1922 when the Federated Shan States were joined together. In 1947, a unified Shan States was created under the Burmese Constitution. Although much of their autonomy has been relinquished to the central government, the Shan retain their unique cultural identity and ethnic heritage.This specific type of Buddha, which is unique to Myanmar in the oeuvre of Buddhist art, is know as the Subdoer of Jambhupati. The flamboyant headdress with wing-like flanges that crowns the Buddha's head is the hallmark of this type, which became particularly popular from the late 18th Century onwards. Although the Buddha wore only monastic robes, his luxurious adornments can be explained by an ancient legend recorded in Pali texts. A powerful king named Jambhupati once threatened to annex the neighboring territory of King Bimbisara, who was a friend of the Buddha. Buddha sent his follower Sakka to bring forth King Jambhupati before him for admonition. Meanwhile, the Buddha miraculously commanded a magnificent palace to be constructed in one night and he took his seat upon a jeweled throne dressed in splendid robes. When Jambhupati was brought in to meet him, he was so overwhelmed by the wealth and power of the Buddha that he renounced his kingdom and became a monk.Poised on a large lotus throne in the characteristic seated virasana position of meditation, this stunning bronze sculpture of the Buddha as the Subdoer of Jambhupati emanates a remarkable spiritual beauty and force that is timeless in its ability to move the beholder as it once moved the tyrant King. Each graceful hand forms a mudra, the mystical ritual gestures that signify various powers. The right hand is in bhumisparsa mudra, the gesture of fearlessness, while his left hand is in dyana mudra, the gesture of meditation. Elaborate ornamentation decorates the Buddha's body, including bracelets and a beaded necklace, and an elaborate crown with undulating flanges and a towering central peak surrounded by flame-like appendages. The treatment of the flanges is somewhat unique in Buddhist art and has its closest counterparts in the Hindu Chola bronzes of Southern India. With his softly modeled facial expression and ethereal body gestures, this sculpture of the Buddha gives us the sensation of his dramatic power and mystical serenity that once converted King Jambhupati. Such a complex and masterful work of art is truly a glorious experience to behold. - (FZ.295)
