Well, sure, I remember seeing that page before I left, which is why I was intent on asking. I suppose anything is possible. Other possibilities that come to mind: telling me only what they'd been instructed to say; thinking I was asking if there was a functional difference other than screen size; or even perhaps that the new screen is initially only going to be available in Europe. Who can say?

Bernardo Daddi (documented 1328-1348) - inv. 3195
This a masterpiece from the maturity of Bernardo Daddi, a follower of Giotto working in Florence from 1328 to 348..
This type of cross, with holy images on both sides, is called 'astile', because it was shown to the faithful during processions, held on a long pole (asta in Italian). On one side Daddi painted three beheaded saints, kneeling: at the top, Saint Paul, with a black pointed beard; on the left, Saint James the Greater; on the right, Saint John the Baptist, with unkempt hair and beard. These unusual macabre images indicates that the cross was originally destined to comfort those sentenced to death.
In past centuries, groups of people gathered in confraternities, assumed the task of taking religious comfort to the condemned, attempting to persuade them to accept death following the example of Jesus and of the martyrs. The Dominican saints depicted at the bottom, Saints Peter the Martyr and Thomas of Aquinas, indicate that the confraternity that commissioned this work was supported by the Dominican friars. On the other side of the cross, beside the traditional images of the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the Redeemer there is the unusual figure, at the bottom, of a skeletal corpse, probably the condemned dressed in the black tunic of the execution.
This cross is one of the earliest examples of paintings for comforting the condemned. The typology was very rare in the 14th century, but became more common in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Inside Higher Ed

A second faculty member has resigned from Northwestern University
over its medical school's reaction to a provocative article published in
a faculty journal.
"It's so petty -- that's what I kept saying -- it's a frickin' blow
job in 1978," said Alice Dreger, a professor of medical humanities and
bioethics at Northwestern who gave her notice this week over the alleged
ongoing censorship of the university medical humanities faculty journal
Atrium, which has suspended publication after a funding cut.
"Of course, it wound up as the Streisand effect, where everybody pays attention," Dreger added.

Home Refinancing with CompareGuru
How does it Work
When you refinance, you secure a new mortgage for your property based upon its current value, not the original value you purchased your home for.
How Do I Apply?
You need to have owned your home for anything between one to three years. Having a perfect credit history also doesn't hurt and can result in the conversion of a variable loan rate to a fixed one in order to obtain a lower interest rate. Most people will decide to refinance when they have equity.
What Are The Benefits?
- Better interest rate
- Consolidate debts
- Reduce monthly repayment amount
- Reduce/alter risk (variable to fixed loan)
- Free up cash
What Is Equity
Equity is the difference in value between what you owe on an asset and the value of that asset. It is, ultimately, a line of credit extended by a lender at a certain interest rate.
Sarah [33]
CompareGuru saved me from contacting multiple home insurance companies individually by streamlining the process.
David [46]
Useful service, I found a great plan in no time.

A reported cat hoarder became a bona fide cat burglar after police say she broke into a Wisconsin animal shelter to steal back eight cats previously seized from her - along with seven other look-alike felines.
Lee Ann Shore, 46, of La Crosse, is accused of shattering a window to enter the Coulee Region Humane Society on Sunday night to recover some of 17 pets seized by authorities weeks earlier from her apartment, which had been condemned because of unsanitary conditions. She also stole seven others that resembled her cats, say officials.
She was arrested Tuesday and 12 of the 15 filched felines have been recovered - including one that bit a police officer and is being observed for rabies. One of the three unrecovered cats was being quarantined for rabies prior to Shore's alleged break-in.
Before the heist, some of the 17 cats seized from Shore's apartment on May 2 had already been placed in new homes. Two were slated to be adopted out this week while others (including two of those still MIA) were being treated with antibiotics for respiratory infections, reports the La Crosse Tribune.
Shore awaits trial for burglary and other charges but is out of jail on a $2,500 signature bond.

Come and help paint Brixton Windmill's Mural
Brixton pretty much has everything you could possibly need. And things that you didn't even think you wanted – like a massive windmill. And now this unlikely historic icon is forming the centre of a community art project bringing locals together.
The 1816 Windmill is the last remaining one of its kind in London and art student Camila Cardensona who heads the 'Hands on' Windmill Mural project wants to turn the gardens around the mill into heartfelt celebration of all things Brixton. With help from Friends of Windmill Gardens and the Heritage Lottery Fund, Camilla is encouraging Brixtonites to come down and create a mural dedicated to the area.
If you're itching to get your paint on, head down this week to add your memories and hopes for Brixton as Bank Holiday Monday sees the grand opening of the mural to the public. There'll be live music, free guided tours of the Brixton Mill and lots of activities to keep the kids entertained.
For more information, see handsonwindmillgardens.tumblr.com.

The old journalists..they always like to have a little moan about something don't they? It's a bit like the girl who fancied you at school and her way of showing you was to be slightly mean. All good stuff though!
Whenever I hear the word 'deserve' now it just reminds me of Clint Eastwood at the end of the film Forgiven just before he blows Gene Hackman's head off…
Little Bill Daggett: I don't deserve this… to die like this. I was building a house.
Will Munny: Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

Favorite Foto Friday and more....
Just a quick update....No new pics this week other than the one we took on Sunday when Bella started to not feel well. What started as a stomach bug turned in to a nasty cough and then ear infection. I kid you not, I held this child for 3 days in my arms none stop. She is improving, however, she is still not eating and therefore, throwing up her meds. This too shall pass, belieivng in God's perfect healing. I myself had the last of my 4 wisdom teeth pulled today. Other than the 2 hour nap afterwards, I am feeling great! But like Bella, I cant figure out how to eat so that I dont get an upset stomach. On the flip side, lots of shakes for me today.
We plan to head out the the Pumpkin Patch Tomorrow and start the 2 weeks process of turning our home into a Haunted Mansion for our Annuals Dracula's Ball on Oct. 25th. It's quit something....its the one time of year my kids think I am the coolest Mom ever. We put in a Dance Floor in our family room (yes, we move all the furniture out) and this year, we are adding an outdoor movie theater featuring Ghost Busters to go along with the bonfire. It's all good fun.
If you get a chance, pop in to my blogging friend's "Courtney and Stella" blog site posted on this blog to the right of the screen. She has posted a wonderful website for scheduling your families activities. Not too mention, her Stella is so fun to keep up with. Thanks Courtney!
Blessings to all,

Susie. You are so sweet. Thanks for the shout out. I am so sorry Bella is not feeling well. I hope she starts to feel better soon. I am sure she will "perk up" once she gets to the pumpkin patch!! And, I hope your wisdom are ok, I remember that being painful. Keep your chin up. Yes, I wish we lived closer too. Our girls (and the mommmies) would hit it off. I don't live close to any blogging buddies. Ok, the haunted house sounds FABULOUS !! I wish I could take a tour of it. You ROCK ... What a cool mom. Take pictures. (((HUGS))) p.s.

The bright sun and beaming light everywhere delights me no end.
A warm, cool breeze of air matches well. I like what I feel.
Fresh air of spring.
Spring has come.
And, so has a garden of onions, beets, peas and squash, let alone the marigolds and geraniums already in full bloom.
There's something about color that appeals to the senses.
Color adds much to the environment.
And, to one's spirit.
Awaiting summer becomes even more imaginable.

So, where have I been this week? Check it out (only the best for you my readers):
- Feeling a little Twilight withdrawal coming on? The New York Public Library offers a list of books to read while waiting for the next tome to be published. Oh, and speaking of YA lit, check out Random Buzz, by Random House, for ARCs and other info.
- Books from Finland, a literary journal about--I'm assuming--books from Finland, launched online. There's not much content up yet, but it might be worth keeping in mind for all those international reading challenges.
- The 2009 Indie Choice Book Awards finals list is out. I know there's a few on there that I've read and several more I've been wanting to get to.
- What rules or guidelines do you follow when writing a book review? John Updike gave 5, and I think it's a good list.
- On a completely unrelated note--I'm loving these March wallpapers, which incorporate a calendar. Now if there were only enough days left to use them all...
Currently Reading:
- Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind (I have no idea where the plot is going--there doesn't seem to be one at this point in the book--but the writing is SO good!)
- Tender Graces by Kathryn Magendie
- A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
- Hearts and Minds by Rosy Thornton
I was on Spring Break this week and home from university, so I got a lot more reading in than I normally have time for, although still not as much as I had planned. Still, I published 10 posts in the last 9 days, which is quite an accomplishment for me! I think I prefer the pace of 2-3 posts a week better for the long haul though--I have a limited number of original thoughts to share, and would like to make them last as long as possible.
So where have you been this week? What are your reading? Let me know, leave me a comment!

Remember that St. Monica's Mass schedule is different for Christmas weekend!
Masses on Saturday, Christmas Eve, are at 4pm, 6pm, 8pm in Spanish, and 11pm. I believe the 11pm Mass will be preceded by a musical performance starting at 10pm.
Masses on Sunday, Christmas Day, are at 9:30am and 11am only.
Merry Christmas!

When you get married, any property you acquire during the marriage (including to some extent your future income stream) is by default "community property" unless you have a contract that alters this arrangement. The opposite of community property is separate property. If you mingle separate property with community property it becomes community property. Upon, divorce your ex is entitled to half of the community property.
The law governing pre-nups in Nevada is Nevada Revised Statute NRS 123A
"Premarital agreement" means an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage.
1. Parties to a premarital agreement may contract with respect to:
(a) The rights and obligations of each of the parties in any of the property of either or both of them whenever and wherever acquired or located;
(b) The right to buy, sell, use, transfer, exchange, abandon, lease, consume, expend, assign, create a security interest in, mortgage, encumber, dispose of, or otherwise manage and control property;
(c) The disposition of property upon separation, marital dissolution, death, or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any other event;
(d) The modification or elimination of alimony or support or maintenance of a spouse;
(e) The making of a will, trust or other arrangement to carry out the provisions of the agreement;
(f) The ownership rights in and disposition of the death benefit from a life insurance policy;
(g) The choice of law governing the construction of the agreement; and
(h) Any other matter, including their personal rights and obligations, not in violation of public policy or a statute imposing a criminal penalty.
2. The right of a child to support may not be adversely affected by a premarital agreement.
On enforcement:
NRS 123A.080 Enforcement: Generally.
1. A premarital agreement is not enforceable if the party against whom enforcement is sought proves that:
(a) That party did not execute the agreement voluntarily;
(b) The agreement was unconscionable when it was executed; or
(c) Before execution of the agreement, that party:
(1) Was not provided a fair and reasonable disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party;
(2) Did not voluntarily and expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure of the property or financial obligations of the other party beyond the disclosure provided; and
(3) Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, an adequate knowledge of the property or financial obligations of the other party.
2. If a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates alimony or support or maintenance of a spouse, and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement to be eligible for support under a program of public assistance at the time of separation or marital dissolution, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other party to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid that eligibility.
3. An issue of unconscionability of a premarital agreement shall be decided by the court as a matter of law.
So basically, if your ex applies for welfare you will have to pay alimony, child support cannot be waived in a pre-nup, and if you failed to disclose any assets or income the whole agreement can be set aside. Similarly, it can be set aside if it is unsconscionable, meaning that your ex didn't freely enter into the agreement – for instance, it was made right before the ceremony – "sign this or I won't marry you", using your family lawyer and not having her own lawyer, or anything that the Court decides placed her in an unfair bargaining position.
Nevada Law NRS123 also allows contracts to be made after marriage (so-called post-nups) in expectation of a separation. The law is fairly similar on these. In my case, I had a separation agreement reached through mediation and signed in front of a notary, where both parties indicated they had consulted independent counsel.
Here's the catch, despite three motions to the court to have the agreement validated and rolled into my final decree of divorce, the judge has refused to rule on the validity of the agreement (for two years). This would have ended my whole divorce case in one hearing, instead it has dragged on for two years (my ex claims that the agreement was signed under duress despite being in front of a mediator and notary – seems pretty easy to check). I have petitioned the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline to complain about the lack of a ruling – they just reply that "you can appeal the final ruling". In the interim I was hit with temporary support payments that consumed 90% of my income. There is still no final decree in my case at the time of writing.

I was thinking of some stories I could write with Sid and Arthur yesterday and St. George and the dragon was one of them. The dragon could be what we now call a dinosaur. Sid and Arthur could turn up in their capacity as Time Cops and ask George not to kill the dragon because they want to take it to a new theme park called Dragon Park. St. George could say something like, "Sure, as long as I still get to rescue the maiden in distress."
I wonder if he would have been our national hero if he didn't rescue the fair maiden? He was supposed to have been a Roman soldier based around the Mediterranean somewhere.
Today's joke is:
Did you hear the one about the two rabbits?
It had a hoppy ending!

I wonder if its possible for him to do his work experience at the local barracks (we aren't far from Weeton)? He's in the local ACF so presumably could do a placement in uniform.

For long-time readers, this post will take a familiar tone: you're all wrong.
The FCPA Unit in the Fraud Section has a lot to do. At last count, there were over 80 companies facing FCPA investigation (all publicly disclosed), including HP, Avon, Weatherford, Ingersoll-Rand, News Corp., Archer Daniels Midland, and lots more. Household names. Plus, of course, Walmart.
I've advocated harsher penalties for corporations, and I'm second to only one (Alexandra Wrage) in my distaste for bribery.
But I hate the Walmart case.
In my humble opinion, Walmart should get a nominal fine via an NPA.
Maybe $2 million. Something like that. I'd prefer less—maybe a declination with undertakings? Totally private?—but I can't see it happening.
You'd think I'd be salivating over the prospect of Walmart getting a massive fine. It's a huge US multinational company which went overseas and bribed government officials in order to gain an improper advantage for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Straight out of 15 USC sec. 78dd-1(a). And like I said, I've advocated for larger fines.
Why do I hate the Walmart case so much? Let's lay it out.
1. Walmart's Bribes Were Arguably Facilitation Payments
This is going to be fact-dependent, and no one has all the facts right now. It's likely even Walmart doesn't have all the facts. But here are some. It's an exception to the FCPA—not an affirmative defense; that's important—when payments are made to secure routine government action. The exact wording of the statute is:
Subsections (a) and (g) of this section shall not apply to any facilitating or expediting payment to a foreign official, political party, or party official the purpose of which is to expedite or to secure the performance of a routine governmental action by a foreign official, political party, or party official.
What's important in that quote is what isn't said: there's no discussion of amounts, only purpose. So the fact that some of the payments that Walmart made were high (the number I keep hearing is upwards of $250,000) is neither here nor there. It's what the payments were designed to get.
Here, the payments were designed to get building permits. It may be that the issuance of building permits is discretionary, but I'm guessing that it's not so simple. There's discretionary meaning that it's truly a decision in contention. Like the decision to award a contract. Then there's totally non-discretionary, like postal service. In the middle, there's an area where something might technically be discretionary, but in reality, it's either a rubber stamp, or it's simply always one way. Building permits could be a case like this. It's always worked out, as long as you wait long enough and do what you're asked. Remember also that "obtaining permits" is one of the things specifically mentioned in the Act as falling under "routine governmental action."
And that brings me to reason #2.
2. Walmart Didn't Bring Its Corruption Into Mexico
There's a reason that Mexico is #100 on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index. In corporate-speak, it's a "challenge" to do business there. In regular-person speak, I'm sorry to say that corruption is rampant. Not that I'd use the word "cesspit," but if someone else were to, I wouldn't correct them.
Just to give one example: if you want to get a copy of a judgment or filing, you need to tip the court clerk. This person is undeniably a government official, and you're paying him or her money. No tip, no document. Law firms regularly pay these morditas; ("little bites") and list them on invoices as "miscellaneous expenses." [I'm sorry if this comes as a shock to you, and you've been paying—and mislabeling in your books and records—these payments].
Like I said, a challenging place to do business. I've never dealt with getting building permits and such in Mexico, but I'm ready to believe that there's a "no payment, no permit" culture there. In other words, Walmart wasn't a corrupt organization that had bribery in its DNA. It was responding to market conditions.
I can hear the cries now. No, I'm not excusing bribery. But give me a break. I'm an anti-bribery advocate, but I also like to think of myself as a realist. I don't think a company should ever pay a bribe. But I also recognize that we're not there yet. There are still places in the world where the wheels of business are greased by money.
Building permits in Mexico might be like that. If the only time a permit is denied is when there's no payment, I have a hard time working up a visceral anger at the company paying it. Or thinking that the type of payment was for a discretionary benefit. I'm not saying it's right (remember, I think Walmart should get fined something), but it's also not the worst thing in the world.
There's a combination aspect at work here too. I might not accept the "it's how business gets done here" if it were a true "bribe," as my gut interprets the word. I have a hard time seeing it as a bribe, so I'm quicker to accept the "it's the market" excuse.
Again, I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying that I'm going to save my anger for true bribery cases.
3. Where's the Harm?
Anyone who has heard me speak on anti-corruption has likely heard my refrain: I hate bribery because it most heavily impacts that segment of the population that can least afford it. The poor, the disenfranchised, the marginalized, all get hit hardest. Roads deteriorate faster, buildings are built with substandard materials (some fall down, on people), small businesses can't start up, employment rates fall, small bribes become a necessity for people who can't afford them.
In one market, a new mother can't get her baby from the nursery without greasing the nurse. As I've often said, say what you will about bribery, but can't we all get together on the idea that "grease the nurse" shouldn't exist as a concept? That things have gone too far?
So what was the harm to the populace in Mexico? That they can now buy quality goods at cheaper prices? Okay, in a theoretical sense, it perpetuates a culture of corruption that impacts other areas. I get it. But that's a little too far outside the zone of causation for me to get pissed at Walmart over.
And that's the bottom line for me. I can't work up any visceral anger at Walmart. And if I—a person who hates bribery more than most—can't work up anger at Walmart, I'd submit that their actions weren't all that bad.
Two other considerations, one in each direction.
First, Walmart's real problems, in my opinion, were in the corporate governance area rather than the bribery arena. The way the information was handled by Bentonville when it was presented to them is less than satisfactory.
But we haven't yet criminalized lack of good corporate governance.
The result of Bentonville's mishandling of the allegations to me should result in Walmart being given no self-disclosure credit. Maybe some undertakings to improve their investigations process. Schedule D stuff. Walmart should also revise their corporate policy to disallow facilitation payments globally.
The second consideration, which plays into why the DOJ should get out now, is something I mentioned up top: facilitation payments are not an affirmative defense, they're an exception.
Which to me means that the burden of proof is on the government.
This is not an easy case by any stretch for the government. And Chuck Duross—who I'm assuming has taken a personal interest in the case, if not taken it over as one of his cases—is a reasonable guy. He's not going to bring a case, or even recommend bringing a case, that he knows he can't prove at trial.
Chuck's integrity as a prosecutor is Walmart's ace-in-the-hole.
It's not going to be an easy case to make. Building permits are specifically mentioned, as I said. Even though there might be a discretionary element, that element is something that Congress had to consider before putting what they did in the statute.
And let's not forget, for all the political pressure to be harsh on Walmart, there's got to be a little bit of back-pressure too. After all, no one—especially not a career prosecutor—likes to have their agenda set by a newspaper, even the New York Times.
There's a possibility there's more to the story. The most dangerous thing for Walmart right now, in my opinion, is the investigation they're forced to conduct. They might find something. If they find actual bribery, all bets are off.
Plus, the original article was in the New York Times. Say what you will about the Times—and I often think of subscribing just so that I can resign my subscription in protest—they set the journalistic agenda for the entire world. So every reporter in the entire world is looking at Walmart right now. It's like the world's most intrusive external auditor poking through your business, without the ethical constraints. So yes, Walmart has incentive to settle. They can't afford to let it drag on like the News Corp. case.
So both Walmart and the DOJ have good reasons to want to end this soon (like now). Let's all do the right thing and support a fair conclusion to this fiasco.

Once again the Olympics are upon us, and the Games seem to be going smoothly despite all the worries whether Brazil could pull it off. Still, there was some turbulence in the water, as Yulia Efimova squared off against Lilly King in the first controversial event of the long fortnight.
Efimova shouldn't have even been in the pool, but was granted an 11th hour reprieve when the sports body FINA couldn't conclusively prove how long melodonium stays in the blood system. Efimova claims she stopped taking the performance enhancing drug last year before it was banned, even though she tested positive in April. Her appearance in the 100-meter breaststroke heats led to a chorus of boos from the audience, but Yulia embraced her "bad girl" image, wagging her finger at the crowd when she won her semi-final race over the previous Olympic champion Ruta Meilutyte. Lilly King was having none of it, winning her semi-final race with a time 0.02 seconds faster than Efimova and so she wagged her finger in turn. This set up the most anticipated race so far, as the two would finally be in the pool together.
The media loved it. Here was the United States presented as the clean, virtuous Lilly King and Russia as the brazen, dirty Yulia Efimova. All we needed was Michael Buffer to announce the final race. The event lived up to its billing with King pulling away from Efimova in the last ten meters to set a new Olympic record and win the gold medal.
Russia has been under a cloud ever since The World Anti-Doping Agency determined that there was a systemic cover-up of doping violations by Russian authorities dating back to 2008. The whistleblower was one of the Russian officials. WADA only had time to investigate the track and field team prior to the Rio Games, issuing a damning verdict that the entire team should be banned. Russia appealed to the IOC, which decided not to go with the blanket ban, but instead ban those athletes specifically charged with doping. This list extended beyond the track and field team and included seven swimmers, Efimova among them.
This was a chance to head off state-sanctioned doping at the pass. As we all might recall, doping was prevalent in the days of the Soviet Union, as the country was determined to beat the United States on the international level. East Germany also became notorious for performance enhancing drugs, quickly becoming one of the top sports countries of the world. Doping was also widely seen throughout the Eastern European satellite nations.
Vladimir Putin has vowed to restore this former glory, bringing back the Soviet-style program replete with heavy-handed tactics to get the most out of his country's athletes. It worked for Russia at Sochi, where they won the most gold medals in a Winter Olympics since 1994. Putin is now determined to restore Russia's summer potential by investing heavily in sports across the country.
The WADA report was damning, as it showed just how far Russian officials go to get their desired results. Yulia Efimova is Russia's most visible face, as she is a four-time world champion since she was last suspended for doping charges in 2013. The country would have sent a clear message it was cleaning up its act if it had accepted her suspension, but Yulia had the potential to win three gold medals. When every medal counts, you go out of your way to get her reinstated, which is exactly what Russian officials did.
It is not to say that other countries don't engage in similar tactics. The Olympics are big business. For swimmers and track and field athletes this is their moment of glory. Very few people follow their sports between Olympic Games, so this is their opportunity to strike lucrative advertising deals that will carry them through the long four years between games. In the past, we have seen athletes stripped of their gold medals, like Ben Johnson who tested positive following his record-breaking performance in the 1988 Games, but it had been a long time since a country had been singled out for systemic doping violations.
The worst apart is that this is essentially an extortion racket where athletes are expected to use drugs and then pay officials to cover it up. Putin has said he will bring the officials involved to justice, but like so many things in Russia, this doesn't happen without tacit state approval.
You really can't take it out on Yulia. She is just part of this labyrinthine scheme that also involves Olympic officials from other countries to turn a blind eye. Obviously, the IOC didn't want to end up in a similar scandal that rocked FIFA and so went soft on Russia for fear a broader cover-up might get exposed. For the most part, the IOC has chosen to accentuate the positive this Olympics, sneaking banned Russian swimmers into the heats, hoping that no one is looking. But, it was hard to miss Yulia, the golden girl of the Russian swimming team.
Efimova will get another shot at a gold in the 200 m breaststroke, where she will meet Lilly King again, and may also compete in the 400 m medley relay. There will probably be more boos, but now that she is in the water the other swimmers have to deal with her. This is the way it goes.

I love all of the excitement brewing about the Liberace movie.
Sadly what I have heard from a very reliable source is that the current production starring Michael Douglas has run out of money. Yet again the Liberace film project is stalled.
Let's take a look back at the reports of the film going back to 2000.
People Magazine reports Robin Williams will play Liberace.
Some rustling that Johnny Depp will play Liberace.
Robin Williams as Liberace as reported to the Guardian.
Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman in fight over Liberace role.
Nicholas Cage to direct and star in Liberace bio-pic.
George Clooney reported to play Liberace
Pairing of Michael Douglas and Matt Damon hits the entertainment websites.
Official Robin Williams website states he will play Seymour Heller in the 2012 production.
I just can't wait for there to finally be a Hollywood film about Lee to that new generations can embrace Mr. Showmanship!

Wells-Burr murder sentences could be shortened
Three people jailed for life for the murder of Catherine Wells-Burr from Somerset could see their sentences reduced.
Three people jailed for life for the murder of Catherine Wells-Burr from Somerset could see their sentences reduced.
Richard Smith QC, prosecuting, told jurors that Catherine Wells-Burr went to bed as normal on the night of September 11, unaware of the fate that was to befall her in the early hours of the following day.
"No doubt Catherine fell herself to sleep," Mr Smith said.
"The sensible inference that we will be inviting you to conclude at the end of this case, from all the evidence, is she never probably woke up.
"She slept as Nowak waited for Anna Lagwinowicz and Tadevsz Dmytryszyn in the early hours made their way from Taunton to Chard.
"And so the early hours arrived. Catherine is asleep, Nowak is murderously awake and his two accomplices have arrived in Chard.
"It may be that she was suffocated with a pillow, that is a possible scenario.
"Such was the state of her body that in those circumstances it is difficult to be certain.
"Nowak was painfully aware that it had to be a quiet killing because of the paper thin walls - screams and violence would be noticed.
"Suffocated with a pillow may possibly meet that requirement."
The family of Catherine Wells-Burr has written to the Prime Minister after hearing her killers could end up serving a shorter sentence.
The parents of Catherine Wells-Burr have described how they comforted her alleged killer - as her burned corpse lay in a nearby field.

Even fuller disclosure: I lack the appropriate taste, apparently, to appreciate such cars. They smack of illicit display, ill-wrought gain, greed, insecurity--what we used to call, though more with Corvettes and Jags in mind, penises-on-wheels but also on steroids. In a word, or two, bad taste. Call me a snob.
Paul gave me some insight into why some people like them, describing it as a redneck thing, meaning a culture that includes him (and my dear colleague, but obviously not the President, whose liking for them would seem to have more to do with the phenomenon of Cadillacs in black culture) and definitely not me. Not that either Paul or I can afford, say, a Prius, which he finds ugly and I find fascinating, or a Volt, which even he finds snazzy.
Paul's comment stuck with me as I read at lunch of how folks in rural parts of the country will have a hard time affording that undiluted icon of redneck culture, the pickup truck, especially large ones, except for their businesses. Obama's reform of the auto industry will change the aesthetics of the American road. We will see more eccentric designs like the Smart car, fewer appeals to our baser instincts of ostentation. Mind you, Chryslers 300s and Ford F-150s will stay on the road till they die, hopefully soon, but Pres. Obama has given new life not only to the careers of automotive engineers, especially those with ideas about batteries and hydrogen and such, but also to car designers.
One wonders where the ripples from all this will go. Will opulence in clothing become passe? Though a largely nostalgic part of me hopes not--along with the Gauthier's and Lagerfelds of the world, not to mention Michelle Obama's American designers, all of whom one suspects will survive financially--the notion of down-sizing cars suggests a new era of rational modesty, or at least a hint in that direction. Imagine the audacity of it, to use one of the President's favorite words.
Think of it in retailing terms as the ultimate add-on, that suggestion a retail clerk makes after you've decided to buy what you really wanted in the first place, except this time the add-on really does you some good rather than merely pad the retailer's cash-register. In this case we have, first, personal austerity in the wake of the meltdown; second, smaller, lighter more fuel-efficient cars the automakers will have to find a way to make inexpensive to appeal to the new austerity, and finally, clothing and all sorts of other "necessities" trimmed down to accommodate newly strapped-in budgets.
If Pres. Obama seems radical to some, his radicalism smacks loudly of good old fashioned desert monastic values like humility and modesty, what he often references as the Kansan common-sense of his grandparents. And yet as I write this an image comes to me of a well-known and very diminutive Taiwanese Buddhist nun tooling around New Haven, CT in the early '90s with joyful abandon and questionable driving skill in her car--an outsize and even then quite old black Cadillac convertible. Maybe this change won't come as easily as it might seem, after all.

Valley Music & Arts Festival is one of the biggest live music events in the country, growing so large that in recent years the festival has expanded to two weekends of genre-crossing musical innovation and constant surprises.
During this year's festival, we at Paste took some time in Los Angeles, Calif. to record stripped-down sessions with some of our favorite festival artists. In this installment of the Poolside Sessions, we caught up with Guards. The band has had a successful 2013, playing a multitude of shows at South By Southwest in March (including our own with HGTV at Stage on Sixth) and making the bill for big festivals like Coachella and a national tour. Stripping things down for us by the pool in L.A., Richie Follin along with bandmates Loren Ted Humphrey and Kaylie Church put on a glowing performance of "Coming True" from their latest release In Guards We Trust.
Watch the performance from Guards below.

Winter Warm Up #6
February 16, 2010
When all else fails, nothing improves a look like a great bag. The common platitude is to splurge on expensive handbags and pair them with affordable items as an easy shortcut to chic. Though this is not bad advice per se, a great bag doesn't have to cost a fortune.
Take this Simply Vera Vera Wang tote. The price is phenomenal. And the muted yellow tone is surprisingly versatile. This bag will go with everything, yet always feel fresh, making it my sixth and final Winter Warm Up pick.
Outfit Ideas and More Options After the Jump.
Long Term Investment…
Momentary Infatuation…
Guess "Sandy" Jacket

The search terms for today were rather humorous, so I figured that I would share.
undergrade majors for med school
There are many. If you're going to spend four years in college studying something, you should study something that you actually enjoy. Just a thought
average engineering mcat
Not as high as physics.
organic chemistry medical school
Probably important to biochemistry, but the applicability of things like the Diels-Alder reaction are somewhat limited in medical school. But you never know…if I'm ever an attending, I totally intend to pimp my residents on the finer points of acid-base chemistry.
how hard is it to get into medical school
If I'm accepted into medical school the first year I apply, it will have taken me longer to get into medical school than it will take me to complete medical school. So, yeah. It's hard to get into medical school.
medical school is not hard
How nice for you. I'm sure others do not share your sentiment.
why is medical school so hard
Probably because you don't study the right way.
who gets into stanford medical school
Interesting question. I have a friend that is attending Stanford right now and had below average MCAT and GPA, but was accepted there and many other places. You spend five minutes in a room with the guy and you can't help but wish he was your physician. He's the proof that grades and MCAT are not the only things important in the med school journey.
And my personal favorite….
address of edward cullen residency
Seriously?!? This linked you to my site? How on earth could I possibly be related to a bunch of loser vamps drenched in sparkles?!?
I'm deeply offended that this somehow linked you to my website. Go watch some Buffy or Angel. If you really want to scratch the vampire itch, try watching Supernatural. This Edward Cullen business makes no sense to me.
Anyway, I've got a bunch of work-related stuff to take care of this week, but I'd like to post something about MCAT preparations this weekend. Stay tuned.

A former state employee denied the right to bargain collectively. Shortly after this photo was taken a SWAT team arrested the crowd for illegal assembly. A spokesperson for Governor Scott Walker stated the police were merely enforcing a Supreme Court ruling that declared peaceable assembly unlawful.
Utterly Uncensored Press Feb. 20, 2011.
Breaking news from UUP. The Supreme Court today declared the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision the Court reasoned that the amendment keeps getting in the way of rich people who want to make more money.
Free speech, the Court declared, has promoted political positions that are in direct conflict with the right of the rich to accumulate wealth.
As for the right to assemble peaceably, the majority stated, it has been a constant thorn in the side of wealthy individuals who innocently seek to enhance profit for themselves and their rich stockholders. The majority in the 5-4 decision criticized the fact that maximum wealth accumulation has been brazenly stymied by protest actions and union picketing so these and similar activities will no longer be tolerated nor recognized as a right.
In its decision declaring the amendment unconstitutional, the Court agreed that Congress should refrain from making laws respecting the establishment of religion but insisted that such restraint be applied only to Christianity. The Court based its decision on the long established belief that the Founding Fathers intended the Christian religion to predominate in a freedom loving America. Moreover, the Court curbed government authority to protect religious freedom extending it only to Christian sects that promote self-reliance and individual responsibility as the primary paths to prosperity while shunning charity as an incentive to sloth and degradation – except of course for contributions to the church itself.
As for the right to petition government for redress of grievances the majority insisted that right has been a bunch of crap from day one and for all practical purposes has been ignored in all cases except where baksheesh has exchanged hands. The ability to redress government therefore has been withdrawn as a basic human right.
In another development, the UUP news organization has learned that the Supreme Court will declare the Social Security Trust Fund unconstitutional. In a brief released by an unidentified member of the Court, the justices stated that it is unlawful for government to issue government bonds to another government agency.
Under the circumstances, UUP reported that actuaries for the newly formed Republican Independent Press have forecast a 250 gazillion dollar shortfall in the Social Security Fund by Monday.
According to an RIP source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, in an emergency meeting convened by members of the GOP Congressional leadership and the White House the two parties reached an agreement in accordance with the Court's decision that will eliminate the nearly 3 trillion dollars in United States Government Bonds the trust fund now owns. As part of a compromise, the two sides agreed to end the payroll tax for all persons earning more than $250,000 a year. Both sides were convinced the tax cut for the rich would stimulate the economy and increase employment. Also on the plus side, reneging on the promise to pay the bonds owed by the government to Social Security will help reduce the deficit and partially offset the revenue shortfall expected from the payroll tax cut for the rich.
Other emergency measures arising from the meeting between President Obama and negotiators for the GOP included another compromise. This one would eliminate all taxes for the wealthiest 10% of Americans. In addition to the payroll tax cut, other taxes slated for elimination include the income and estate taxes as well as all taxes on investment and capital gains.
To offset these revenue losses Obama agreed to a 350 percent increase in the payroll tax for all workers earning less the $250,000 and an increase in the retirement age to 267 years. Those persons currently slated to retire in 2012 can now look forward to their golden years in 2212. All retirees now receiving Social Security checks will continue to collect their benefits until Obama is reelected. After the 2012 elections, however, nobody in Washington really gives a shit what happens.
Also agreed was that since Washington can no longer issue bonds to the Social Security Trust Fund, payroll deductions will now be channeled through a pipeline straight to Wall Street for investment in derivatives such as CDOs and CDSs. The Congressional retirement plan would not be affected.
As a part of the bargain, Republicans promised to call their rich benefactors to see if they might want to start hiring more American workers. However, they warned the president that an increase in hiring is unlikely because the minimum wage now in place is a disincentive to add to the workforce.
In yet another compromise hammered out by negotiators, Obama agreed to consider reducing the minimum wage over a period of time. The agreement reached now calls for ending minimum wage on Monday.
In return for the concessions on the part of the president it was agreed that Obama would get a milkshake after the meeting. However, the motion was tabled when a dispute arose over who would pay for the milkshake and whether Obama should be allowed to chose the flavor. The issue was placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
In a statement released after the meeting, Obama praised the new tax cut policy as the greatest job creation venture since slavery.

Origami is a Japanese form of art in which squares of paper are folded to create shapes. These shapes can be animals, flowers, or anything else you can come up with. Most origami shapes are made from one piece of paper and need no glue, scissors, or stapler.
Origami is a big part of Japanese culture. The craft is passed down from one generation to the next. The craft of folding paper was first created for special ceremonies, now it is mostly a hobby and done for decorative reasons.
In the Japanese culture every shape has a meaning. In this blog we will tell you all about the culture of origami, the basic folds, the meaning of every shape, the materials to make your own origami, and we will keep you up to date with the latest origami news.
We hope you'll find something on this blog that interests you.
And have fun with the magic of paper.

It's Jennifer posting here for you today, and I'm showing off a Fall card I made using DRS Designs new Fall stamps.
The technique I used to create the scene can be found here.
I made my own landscape stencil by cutting a wavy pattern on a piece of scrap paper. I sponged Creamy Brown Chalk ink along the edge of the stencil to create the rolling hills at the ground line in several spots. Next, I used a circle mask for the moon and sponged the sky with SU! Ballet Blue ink. I used the reverse mask for the moon and sponged that area with SU! So Saffron ink.
I stamped the Single Fall Tree (468F) in SU! Chocolate Chip in 3 random spots so they were scattered along the rolling hills. I added Autumn leaves by simply using Copic Markers to add different colored dots along the branches and along the bottom of each tree. The Shine On Harvest Moon Greeting (470D) was stamped in the bottom right corner also with SU! Chocolate Chip ink.
I matted this card front on a brown cardstock base, added a small bow made from brown grosgrain ribbon in the upper right corner, a band of the same ribbon in the botton left corner, and finally this card was complete! I hope you enjoyed today's post and the new Fall stamps from DRS Designs. Stay tuned, as the new December release is just around the corner and you won't want to miss all the sneak peeks!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

One of My Old Favourites
Good morning. This isn't a new project, in fact I created it about a year ago when some of the elements were brand new! However, as it's one of my favourite pieces, I felt it deserved to be blogged. It's a really inexpensive Ikea mirror with grungeboard, stampbord and fragment tiles carefully arranged to cover the frame. There is embossing, inking, stamping, alcohol inks, Tim Holtz Salvage Stickers, Lost and Found papers, Ideaology embellishments and more going on here. Apart from the large key which is Life's Journey (K&Co), the small key which is 7 Gypsies and the metal flower, I think all of it is Tim Holtz. I LOVED creating it. Hope you like it too!

Talladega is Not a New Tex-Mex Dish
The NASCAR season is in full swing. The drivers race toward points as well as the checkered flag.
In the midst of some serious concerns over wrecks and mechanical problems, how about a little humor?

Hi Vonda,
I just came across your articles on Crohn's Disease on Associated Content, which are fantastic and inspiring. I wanted to contact you but couldn't find an email address anywhere so I am leaving a comment here and hope you will get it.
I have been a Crohnie for 10 years - diagnosed at the age of 20. I started a blog last year to write about living well with IBD - www.beyondibd.com
More recently I have decided to pursue my dream of a career in freelance writing. I am still working full-time at my office job while I take my first steps in the field.
I'd love the opportunity to chat to you more about Crohn's and leaving a traditional career to be a writer.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com
I hope to hear from you,

I realize that Halloween is past us, but I just had to share this picture of my little pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. She is wearing a tutu, tee, hat and bow that I made after learning how to create her Josefine look. We had many people stop us to tell us that she was the prettiest little pumpkin at the patch, and I did take pride in this. Hey, after losing my pre-baby body, I will take whatever compliments that I can get!
I am taking my creative side to a new level. I have been working on bows for a few months now. I am trying to get a stockpile of bows, tutus, and possibly even crochet goodness together so that I can offer a wide assortment for sale in my shop. I probably have enough now, as I've been working like a mad-woman, but I would like to wait until this blog has a steady 1,000+ unique visitors per month to open up shop. At that point, I'll be doing a week of giveaways, so make sure that you help me spread the word about my little blog! 😉
Now… you may remember that I set a goal back in August to have my daughter's room completed by Halloween. Well… that didn't happen. So as punishment to myself, I have decided to start working out. Once I post about why I haven't worked out in years, you will understand just how much of a punishment this actually is. New goal = Thanksgiving. I hope that I can finish her darling little room by then. If not, I will let you ladies decide what I should do to punish myself! Sound good?
I hope that you are all doing well and are recovered from this weekend's sugar rush. Take care, my friends! Don't forget to enter the BabyLegs giveaway while you're here!

Glitter is always a must.
And thanks to Annie, I now need the Martha Glitter pen set!
Since the party was set the night before, I didn't get to go all out on the decorations.
Instead I gathered anything that was pink, red or heart-shaped and placed them strategically around to act as decorations.
I cut a heart out of construction paper {elementary school style} and dusted the hummus with paprika.
Heart shaped hummus was the perfect Valentines Day party crafting snack!
Red, pink, purple glitter and crafting supplies were set up for guests to get creative with.
Martha was there in spirit to inspire.
We were all happy campers.
Some of the crafts from the night.
We hope the recipients of our handmade cards will enjoy our crafts.
Who doesn't enjoy a fun treat in their mail box?

The Chinese will grow and process ginseng in Altai
In the spring of 2015 the Chinese company Bing Han will start to grow "Imperial Ginseng" in Chemal. In the Altai region, the company is going to build its first factory for processing plants in Russia.
Complex for growing and processing will be cost $ 100 million. In 2015, Bing Han International will begin to grow ginseng in the Altai Republic, and in the Altai region it will process ginseng and produce medicinal tinctures, - informed the Chairman of Bing Han Narek Sirakanyan to "Capitalists". According to him, the Chinese company is ready to invest in Russia and create work places here "against the background of improving relations of both countries."
"We're going to grow ginseng in Chemal", - said Sirakanyan. "There's a congenial climate, besides, this territory is included in the special economic zone of the region, that's why it has well-developed infrastructure that was important to us. For example, we can grow the plant in the taiga, but without the necessary communications and facilities it would be a very expensive project.
Bing Han will grow ginseng for six years, after that they will begin to produce medicinal tinctures from plants".
"We are going to build processing plant in the Altai region, possibly in Barnaul", - said Sirakanyan. "We are not in a hurry with the construction, because ginseng will grow for six years, and a good plant can be built in 14-15 months".
Altai ginseng processing plant for the company will be the first plant for Bing Han in Russia. Now, according to Sirakanyan's words, the company produces tinctures from plants only in China and Taiwan.
Bing Han will create 500 work places. According to management plans, about seven years, the company will bear losses. After this period, the company will pay for itself. Estimated turnover of the company did not specify. The company plans to promote tinctures, which will be made in the Altai region, in Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, Canada, Singapore and other countries, and also in Russian regional markets.
The Chinese company, Bing Han International already grows ginseng and produces tincture of this plant in China and Taiwan. The company has offices in almost a dozen countries around the world.

My Girl is at the stage where she wants to do everything by herself.
"I want to wear the shoes myself!"
"I want to give you the cup!"
"I want to turn off the tap myself!"
"I want to do it myself!"
These are some of the stuff I get to hear everyday.
The most prevalent one is the wearing of shoes by herself and insisting that she gives me her finished milk bottle at the kitchen sink (and nowhere else) and insisting that I say "Oh! Thank you!" when she does.
Now if she doesn't get to do any of those things by herself, she'd throw a tantrum. Aiyoh! Really headache! Especially when we are in a hurry to go out. We'd wear her socks and shoes for her and she'd remove them again just so she could wear them by herself thereby delaying us even further. I try to give her opportunities to do things by herself and when I remember, I'd let her start wearing her shoes 1/2 hour before leaving the house.
We show her how to wear her shoes and socks correctly and she often asks "Is it ok?" or she'd asked for help when she can't manage so I guess we should remember to exercise more patience with her. Still..... sometimes..... really cannot tahan when she throws her tantrum and tries to undo things that have been done to redo them again by herself.
I suppose its just another passing phase in the life of a little one who's growing up very quickly.

My Girl is at the stage where she wants to do everything by herself.

me and wife are still waiting for my son to say "I wanna sleep by myself!" :(ReplyDelete
I like the part where she would undo it to redo it. Funny. :PReplyDelete
so cute...i guess she slowly wants to be independant...ReplyDelete
wait till she tells you she wants to buy a valentines present for her boyfriend....i encountered this, this valentinesReplyDelete
You are so patience, can wait for her half an hour to wear shoes.:)ReplyDelete
Sometimes, I have to wait for my girl to finish feeding herself and I just couldn't stop my self from mumbling to her "faster lah, faster lah!" :P
egghead, you slooooowwwly wait hor. kekeke.ReplyDelete
jason, its not very funny any longer when its done everytime, especially when you're in a rush.
mom2ashley, yah they want to be independant and will be very happy when we praise them for their efforts.
siao char bor, and she's only 7. They start young now don't they?
jefferene, no, I'm impatient. I give her 1/2 hour to wear herself when I remember while I do other things and when it comes to feeding, worse still, I end up feeding myself cos I cannot wait and even when feeding, if they're slow, I end up stuffing the food in my own mouth to speed up the process! Terrible huh?
i think u gotta tell her like 1hr earlier before u plan to go out so that she can finish her DIY chores faster and won't delay u kekeke...ReplyDelete
it's so nice to see them growing up thru all these phases rite :)
come to the bossy stage?ReplyDelete
nvm, do herself better than ask you to do everything for her.
my girls want to do herself, I glad to intruct, the earlier they learn, more relax I will be.
jazzmint, well, making her wear her shoes 1/2 before going out helps.ReplyDelete
maria, hey! thanks. I haven't thought about it from that angle before.
haha little missy is learning to be very independent now. Good start!ReplyDelete
Bb is telling us to "go away and stand there* if he wants to do things on his own too. :P
