Blogging Babes: Meet Lila Delilah Of Madison Avenue Spy
As you guys probably know, the only thing I like better than breaking in a gorgeous pair of new designer shoes is getting them for 50% off! Lila Delilah, the blogger behind Madison Avenue Spy, is a kindred spirit, helping women everywhere score big-time bargains on big-ticket goods. Meet her, after the jump.
I have a friend who always has the inside track on the city's best sample sales, is the first one to get a forward about the Bloomingdale's friends and family discount, and never misses an opportunity to bust out her "extra 15% off" coupons when spend a Saturday shopping. And now, you kinda have a friend like that too, in the form of Madison Avenue Spy. So just who is the Blogging Babe behind it?
Slaves to Fashion: How did Madison Avenue Spy start? Was this your way of dealing with the recession?Lila Delilah: I started Madison Avenue Spy in May 2008, before anyone really knew the recession was really a financial meltdown. My goal was to create retail transparency. All shoppers should be awarded the same deals, regardless if they carry a debit card, green card or black card.
STF: Have you always been a bargain hunter?
__LD:__My family would have it no other way. From a very young age I was lectured on the value of a dollar. If the item you buy has no value it's virtually worthless. Therefore I have always been very adept to spotting value.
STF: What's the best designer find you've ever scored? We're talking original price and what you paid for it...
LD: After much deliberation I am settling on my wedding gown, which was a Christian Dior. I first saw the gown and fell in love at Kleinfeld, in Brooklyn. It was $1,800, which was a lot ten years ago. I put the dress completely out of my mind. Shortly after, I found the same gown at a small bridal salon in Belmar, NJ. They were discontinuing the Christian Dior line and I bought the dress for $350.
STF: What are your secrets to sniffing out a great deal? Any particular days of the week or times of year that are better for bargain shopping?
LD: I like to wear what I buy the very next day. So shopping for winter clothing in July holds no interest. I buy in July and wear it well into September and it almost feels new when I take it again in June. The best deals are normally found at the tail end of the season. For winter that means late January to early February. Spring and summer deals are found in July and August.
STF: How can the average gal still look chic in the middle of this crappy economic time?
LD: I like to think of this period as a "Lipstick Economy." Maybe you lost your job and you're stretched to the limit. At some point you need to remember that money does not own you. Go out and buy a pink lipstick. Even if it's a $30 Chanel or a $1 Wet-n-Wild, find something within your budget to feel fresh and proud.
STF: Can a woman learn to be a bargain hunter, or are you born with it? How can the spendy among us create better shopping habits?
LD: I hate to say bargain shopping is in the genes. If you don't have it running through your DNA, you need to read MadisonAvenueSpy.com One trick, to keep my spending in check I like to put a mental budget on items. For some people a comfort level is $100 on a garment or $200 for shoes. For others it's less and for some it's more. It's a very personal matter. I think that marking comfort level of value is an important start.
STF: Where are your favorite places to shop?
LD: As expected, I find my Zen on Madison Avenue. It's a treasure trove of beautiful things. Even if you're not purchasing, it's wonderful to walk around the stores and admire what you see. I LOVE Bergdorf Goodman. I don't think there is another store in the world with more beautiful women. I love to watch others for style inspiration. There's so much you can learn by just watching how other people style themselves. At the same time I have scored amazingly well at outlets, like Woodbury Common and Secaucus.
STF: If you could only have three items in your closet for the rest of your life, what would they be?
LD: a. An outrageous cocktail dress so that you feel special and unique every time you wear it.
b. As much as I hate to admit it, I am always wearing jeans. They need to fit well. Always remember, you need to dress the body you have, not the body you want. So make sure there is no muffin top or plumber's butt.
c. A fitted blazer. They are necessary for business, nice to dress up jeans and ideal for outerwear in the spring and fall.
STF: Tell the truth--on what occasion would you pay full price for something?
LD: Traveling is my Achilles' heel. Purchasing a Chanel bag on sale from Saks is one thing, but getting a Chanel bag from Place de Vendome is precious at any price.
STF: What was your biggest splurge ever?
__LD:__I'm really not sure, but I can say I paid a crazy amount of money for pleather pants in 2001. I still have them and they look great but they are pleather! Who buys pleather?
STF: Your cheapest find?
LD: I found a $25 Hermes Collier de Chien belt at a tiny consignment shop and left it there. I was half way down the block until I realized what I had done. When I ran back to the store they were closed for lunch. I spent a full hour outside the store staring at the belt through the window until the shop reopened!
Now that's the kind of commitment that separates the true designer bargain hunters from the gals who just like a sale. But don't fret...with a few visits to Madison Avenue Spy, you can become a pro like Lila in no time. What do you guys think of Lila's tips and tricks? Do you use any of them on a regular basis? And will you check out the amazing steals and deals at Madison Avenue Spy?

Ocwen is currently being investigated by New York State over alleged servicing abuses, and now it's the subject of a class action lawsuit
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has claimed changes to reverse mortgages will protect borrowers from eating up their equity
Anyone who doesn't have a reverse mortgage now and is thinking about it might want to wait until the HUD OIG investigation of Financial Freedom, the NY Attorney General investigation of Champion and Financial Freedom/OneWest Bank, and the dust settles from Walter Investments One Reverse Mortgage exiting the market, and the fallout from the penalties from the RMS whistleblower get sorted out. CIT has set aside $163,000,000 for the settlement of the HUD investigation, $500,000,000 for claims after the settlement, and then there is the $230,000.000 "shortfall" that is possibly for FAH interest not allowed to Financial Freedom. This is a lot of money to make up with a lot of new reverse mortgage sales needed to do it. Beware, it might look good up front but it has to be right for you in the long term and no one is going to help you determine that when you are getting one. Maybe consumers should ask for a written guarantee as to how a reverse mortgage is a safe government insured mortgage, that will let you stay in your home for life, provide extra income, let you live a better life and provide financial security in retirement and finally meet your wishes for your estate.

4. Hardware Controllers
Using external controllers can really help you to get the best out of your plug-ins. The most common type is the MIDI controller keyboard which is ideal for playing virtual instrument plug-ins (please see our separate Sound Libraries Online Advisor for more information on these). The keyboard triggers sounds on your computer in real-time via MIDI so that your plug-in acts like a hardware sound module, and the performance can be recorded which then allows each note to be edited. MIDI keyboards range from 25 key models all the way up to full-size 88 note weighted keyboards with polyphonic after-touch. When choosing a controller keyboard, check what type of interface it has MIDI, USB, FireWire, or a combination of these if it only has MIDI connections then you will also need a separate MIDI interface, or at least a soundcard with MIDI ports built in. Some controller keyboards feature knobs, faders, buttons and pads to control other parameters of your plug-ins, for example you might use a couple of knobs to control reverb time and room size to give you better control than you might get with a mouse. Other common controls include pitchbend and modulation wheels for greater expression.
Dedicated control surfaces retain the knobs and faders, but do away with the keyboard altogether. Theyre often used to control your music production softwares mixer, and you might also find transport controls, rotary knobs, buttons, strip displays and pads for drum programming.
With the ever-increasing number of parameters found in plug-ins, an external controller can prove to be an invaluable piece of equipment to have to hand, giving instant access to many different parameters simultaneously. Most controller manufacturers now provide templates for their products so that they work with common plug-ins straight out of the box.

List of best Korean movies tops Reddit front page
Stop the presses; Korean movies are on top on Reddit. With U.S. blockbusters now opening every week, you'd expect the whole world to be talking about the latest and greatest from Hollywood. However, surprise surprise, topping the front page of Reddit this weekend was the nicely titled "Korean Film Chart."
Acting as a primer for the uninitiated, the thread provided a great outlet for discussing the virtue of Korean Films. There were thousands of comments praising the uniqueness of cinema from South Korea.
It's always nice to see the general populace get introduced to awesome content from around the world. DramaFever Movie fans should jump in the thread and chime in with some of their favorites.
Do you agree with the list? I can think of some real gems that were left off this the list, but was glad to see titles like The Attorney, The Man from Nowhere, and War of the Arrows (Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon) make the list!

Round-the-World Sailboat Record Smashed by 2 Days
Saturday, January 7th, 2012 by Bob Cavnar
Banque Populaire V, a 130 foot long ocean racing trimaran, just set a new world record for circumnavigating the globe in 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, and 13 seconds. They broke the previous record by 2 days, taking the Jules Verne trophy. The average speed for this trip was over 26 knots and they reached as much as 43 knots. That's smokin' for a sailboat.
Sailing technology has been rapidly advancing, with the record going from around 80 days in 1993 to the current record. Here's a video that gives you an idea what 40 knots in a sailboat feels like:

Packing And Moving Services In Brownsville You Can Take Advantage Of
The packing and moving services in Brownsville are mostly good. You just have to know how to look into what each of your options is to make sure they're worth the money. Here are some tips that you can use to make it easy to know who to trust.
The first thing you have to look for in a packing and moving service is the price. You should call around and ask what people are charging for a move, and make sure you let them know how much of a move you're talking about. For instance, if you have a four bedroom house then you'd need to let them know that so they could give you a rough estimate on what you'd have to pay. Some companies don't do quotes over the phone and some charge by the hours it takes to do the job. Find out what works best with your budget and go with them.
Before you pick someone based on price, however, you need to find out if they have a good track record with their past customers. Find some reviews and see if they are positive because if they are not then, you know that it's probably not worth your time to work with the company. There are a lot of companies that won't be reviewed, too. If they have been around for a while, then chances are that they're good at what they do because so far nobody has complained about the services.
A lot of packing and moving services in Brownsville are good. It's just that there are some that aren't, too. It's good to be cautious about who you hire and work with if you want this to turn out in your favor.

The U.S subprime housing is still hurting financial markets throughout the world. Banking giant HSBC took a $17 billion hit on its exposure to the collapsed US subprime housing market.
This makes HSBC the latest bank to suffer from the housing market crisis. What's worse is that it said that it expect market conditions to get worse before it gets better. Which bring to mind what the hell the U.S are doing to rid the world of this crisis. The subprime crisis has been brewing for about a year already, yet we are still no closer to solving the problem. Amid global slowing economic growth and squeeze on credit, must they truly wait till after the U.S elections in Nov before they take action? How knows where the market will be then?
Since Singapore is a "staunch U.S ally", how about we make some noise and try to make the U.S take some action on the crisis before it drag the whole world into a recession...if we are not in one already.

Too late. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said that US already in recession:
Singapore to convince the US to do something about it? I can bet you it's not going to make any ripple in the White House or Congress. Unless the interest of these upper echelon are affected, they'll be in no hurry to solve this global teething problem any sooner, for all you can care about. Period.

Try Cleaning the HD using Diskpart from Booted Win7 DVD: Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
You should not have to put your HD in an external dock to clean it. Double check to make sure you have your BIOS set to boot DVD first: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstr.../bootcddvd.htm
If it still fails, try the one-time Boot Menu key given on first boot screen to press for booting.
You booted the DVD to install 64 bit, right? So what changed that causes it not to boot now?
Other than wiping any conflicting code off the HD using Diskpart Clean command, you might try resetting the CMOS: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixthe.../clearcmos.htm

This is it, folks. The fabled Nokia phablet is alive and well. The Verge is reporting that Nokia is currently testing a 6-inch Windows Phone device. The device is codenamed "Bandit," and it will be ready to launch later this year. On top of the 6-inch display is a list of specs that will make even Android users drool.
Not only is the display 6-inches, but it will also be the first Windows Phone device with a 1080p display. Powering the device will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor, another first for a Windows Phone device. The camera will be no less than 20MP, and will sit in a slight hump similar to the Lumia 925 camera. The bpdy will be polycarbonate, and is reportedly thin and lightweight. The Bandit will launch with GDR3 on AT&T.
The Verge also mentions that Nokia is working on bringing the Lumia 925 to more carriers, which will most likely be AT&T. These are some awesome new developments, and we can't wait to hear more about the Bandit. A phablet is coming. Are you ready?

From Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA:
I've seen two ways to count fiber in two separate American Diabetes Association publications. I have been subtracting fiber if an individual food has more than five grams, which seems to be the most widely accepted practice. However, in a recent ADA book (I don't have the name handy), it indicates that it is okay to subtract the total amount of fiber from all foods being eaten at a meal from the total carbohydrates. So, let's say none of the foods have more than five grams individually, but as a whole, the meal has 12 grams of fiber. They say it's okay to subtract the 12 grams from the total carbohydrate grams. It seems like this would make quite a difference doing it this way.
I don't think it makes as much of a difference either way you account for the fiber as much as that you do count it. I teach that you can subtract the fiber content from the total carbohydrate if the fiber content PER SERVING is five or more grams, but I can see the second point as also being valid (combining the fiber content of many foods at the same meal and subtracting from total carbohydrates). Either way, the fiber content of food slows down the absorption of carbohydrate and can benefit blood sugars either way. Current nutrition teaching reinforces increased fiber in meal planning for this very purpose.

Prince George turned three on July 22, so naturally he was showered with birthday gifts. But according to his father, Prince William, the toddler might have gotten a few too many!
On Sunday, after the Duke of Cambridge attended America's Cup headquarters in Portsmouth, England, with his wife, the Duchess, a 10-year-old asked the dad of two what George received for his birthday.
The Duke refused to reveal any details.
"I am not telling, he got too many things, he's far too spoiled," Prince William reportedly joked.
According to People, the Royal Family hosted a special tea party celebration at Anmer Hall, their country home in Norfolk, to celebrate Prince George's third birthday on Friday.
And to further mark the occasion, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released four new official photos of their growing boy!
Matt Porteous took the photographs of Prince George at The Duke and Duchess's family home in Norfolk recently. pic.twitter.com/QVluW3KNUH— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) July 22, 2016
A Kensington Palace spokesperson also released a statement on their behalf: "The Duke and Duchess hope that people will enjoy seeing these new photographs. They would like to thank everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday."
Prince George is the oldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The royal couple is also parents to one-year-old Princess Charlotte.

af2 Arena Football: Tulsa's Talons Drop The Ball To The Amarillo Dusters, 48-33June 29, 2008
An interception on the Tulsa Talon's first drive by Amarillo Duster's DB Terick Thomas, last night, might have been a foreshadowing of what was to come. The Dusters handed the Talons only their second loss of the 2008 af2, Arena Football, season.
The Talons loss comes the Saturday after they clinched a playoff berth with a 58-52 road win against Rio Grande Valley Dorados and on the heels of being honored with the top spot in the Coach's poll.
So where did Tulsa go wrong?
There you are, on top of the league, rolling over every opponent that comes along. Gaining accolades from coaches, reporters, fans and then all of a sudden you meet an opponent, that you should handle neatly, and your world caves in on you.
You not only lose but you lose big. It happens to the best of teams. Look at what happened to the University of Michigan when they took on Appalachian State in the Big House last season.
Still not convinced? What happened to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII against the New York Giants after a perfect season. Could it be pressure? Overconfidence? The "New York Yankee syndrome"?
The breakdown...
The Talons QB, Derek Rasmussen, threw an interception on Tulsa's first possession and the Dusters capitalized on the turnover by scoring on a run by WR, Craig Fulton, Jr. Tulsa outscored Amarillo in the second quarter but not enough to take the lead.
At the half the Dusters lead 24-20. Amarillo then turned on their defense only allowing the Talons 13 points in the second half.
This was also the first division loss for Tulsa dropping them into a second place tie with WB/Scranton Pioneers. Both teams have an 11-2 overall record and are 5-1 in their respective conferences.
The Spokane Shock (12-1, 9-0) are now alone at the top overall as they beat the Central Valley Coyotes 56-54 last night.
Bring me home, Scotty...
The Talons get a bye next weekend and then they are home against the Arkansas Twisters (9-4, 4-3). The Twisters are in second place behind Tulsa in the Central Division and are coming off a 55-46 win against the Iowa Barnstormers. The Green Bay Blizzard are next on the schedule for Iowa on July 5th.
The hometown crowd should be a boost for the Talons. And if things go the way they've planned, this might be their last game at the Tulsa Convention Center. Next season, they will be co-occupants at Tulsa's new BOK Center. The 18,000 seat stadium will also house the Tulsa Oilers hockey team.

|Therapeutic Communities: 20 Years of Breaking the Cycle of Addiction
|By Rachel Friederich, Washington Department of Corrections
|Published: 10/30/2017
Bridie Clevenger started using drugs when she was 9. It was the only way she knew how to mask the pain of abuse and sexual assault she endured from family members.
As an adult, she stole money from people's bank accounts to pay for her addiction, which landed her in prison. She never guessed prison would save her life.
"I got to a point where I realized I'm not getting what I want," Clevenger, now 44, said. "Something had to change. I've been broken for so long, I didn't realize I was broken. I didn't know how to deal with life. I blamed myself, but now I realize it's okay to be broken and fix what needs to be fixed."
Clevenger is one of hundreds of inmates at facilities across the state who participate in therapeutic community programming. Therapeutic communities are an intensive form of substance abuse treatment provided to inmates with substance abuse disorders.
While in prison, participants live in a space apart from the general population. Therapeutic communities use a hierarchical social learning model in which inmates earn increased social and personal responsibilities as they progress through stages of treatment.
Prisons across the country use therapeutic communities. Washington state has been using therapeutic communities in its prisons since 1997 and nearly 12,000 people have participated over the past two decades.
The program nets a positive return on investment. Washington state sees $5.05 in benefits for every one dollar spent on the program (pdf), according to the Washington State Institute for Public Policy.
The Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) held a celebration in July commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the program with several staff and guest speakers including King County Judge Susan Craighead and King County Prosecutor Natalie Walton Anderson. A former therapeutic community participant who is now a substance abuse counselor also spoke at the event, along with a panel of inmates currently in the program.
How it Works
The main goal of therapeutic communities is to give inmates a sense of belonging, acceptance, and skills to live without self-destructive behavior patterns.
Participants undergo various exercises at each level of treatment. Each participant has a role in the therapeutic community, which can include responsibilities such as dorm inspections, facilitating portions of meeting, and serving as mentors to new members.
Participants must follow a code of conduct and house rules. If they break a rule, they are given ether a verbal or written "awareness." Awarenesses are used to alert the participant they are engaging in inappropriate conduct so they can be held accountable for their actions.
Sometimes, the participant is required to complete a learning experience. The learning experiences are designed to help inmates pinpoint what caused the behavior so they can take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. For example, an inmate may be asked to write a "goodbye" letter to a family member in response to a make-believe scenario explaining why he or she can't come home because his or her behavior has resulted in re-incarceration.
"Everything we do in therapeutic communities reflects real life," says Al Lopez, a correctional program manager in the Substance Abuse Treatment Unit. "We want them to stop and think about their behaviors and think about what core skills to use to address the issue."
Looking to the Future
Restoring confidence and helping inmates realize they have the power to lead productive lives after release is also a large component of therapeutic communities. Inmates regularly participate in peer accountability groups. Peer accountability groups are meetings with around eight participants. The participants acknowledge actions and characteristics each individual exhibits that demonstrates progress in recovery.
Peer support is one of the most important components in to keep participants making progress in recovery, but is one of the hardest things for them to do, according to Linley Allen, a program specialist and recent therapeutic communities facilitator at Mission Creek Corrections Center for Women (MCCCW).
"It's filled with positive affirmation, and women especially need that," Allen said. "They're constantly fighting with themselves and what they did in the past and it can be difficult to change sometimes."
The therapeutic communities model has five levels of treatment and it can take between six and 18 months to complete, Lopez said.
WCCW launched its therapeutic communities program one year ago and has already served nearly 100 people.
Meghan McCrory, therapeutic communities assistant manager at the Gig Harbor prison, says she enjoys watching the transformation the participants show during the program.
"The best part is seeing the therapeutic community magic," McCrory said. "When they (inmates) first come in here, they don't want to be here. They can be angry, defiant, and resistant. But once they see there is an opportunity to change, they can open up and the program saves their lives. You can see it change their lives and their families' lives."
Clevenger seems ready to embrace that change. She completed her last level of treatment and spoke at the ceremony celebrating her own progress in recovery, as well as her peers'. She's set to release from prison in September and plans to go back to school to become a substance abuse counselor.
"I want to give back what I was given,"' Clevenger said. "The person I am now is the person I've wanted to be for so long. I've learned today not to live in the wreckage of my past, or have it around my neck like an anchor. I live in the hope of the future, and I have to tell you that nothing has ever been brighter."
Rachel Friederich is a Communications Consultant for the Washington State Department of Corrections. She earned her bachelor's degree in communications from Central Washington University. She has worked communications and public relations for various Washington non-profit organizations as well as a reporter at newspapers and radio stations across Washington including The Daily World, Yakima Herald-Republic, and KGY-AM in Olympia.

Bagels, bananas and bran cereals have one thing in common. They are all good for you at breakfast time. They will help to keep you on the narrow path of weight loss and towards maintaining good health.
If you want to skip breakfast, skip the idea as research has indicated that people who don't eat breakfast are not as successful while managing their weight when compared with those people who regularly eat their breakfast. The principal reason is that you will avoid overeating before lunch if you eat a decent breakfast.
When you eat in the morning, it is just like fuelling up your gas tank. Your body becomes low on fuel when you wake up in the morning. It is like running a car on an empty tank. Morning meal is good to start your engine by supplying energy to your body.
Avoiding breakfast will make you more inclined to overeat later on during the day to make up for that low energy. A study has been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition which suggests that people who eat breakfast do not fall into the trap of snacking impulsively as easily as those people who miss their breakfast.
Not all fuels are equal. Many people may get energy from a bran muffin and a cup of skimmed milk than they will from a large glass of fruit juice. It is because the sugar in the fruit juice is a rapidly used source of energy than what is received from the milk and muffin.
A good breakfast is made up of both proteins and carbohydrates. A satisfying breakfast has to pack a quick punch of energy by raising the sugar levels of our blood while boosting our energy through high fiber food. So, it is wiser to eat within few hours of waking up.

Prohibition drinks firm owner rejects CSI to delve into wine imports
Felicia Matheson, from Co Down, tells John Mulgrew what inspired her to set up drinks firm Prohibition
Newcastle woman Felicia Matheson could have ended up in the rather more macabre profession of crime scene investigation had she continued to pursue her original career path.
But instead of taking on a life of probing around crime scenes after studying a Masters in forensics, she turned a love of good wine and specialist training in her craft towards meeting the ever-growing demand for beer in Northern Ireland.
As we sit in the cosy surroundings of Holohan's, located on the Belfast Barge, Ms Matheson talks about setting up the aptly named drinks distribution firm Prohibition two years ago - on the 80th anniversary of the end of the era in the US.
A former pupil at St Mary's Grammar School in Kilkeel, Ms Matheson moved on from a scientific background, studying natural science at university before her Masters.
The 33-year-old developed a love of beer, setting up her own specialist import drinks business in 2013.
"The bug came from travelling around the world, hitting all seven continents before I was 30," she said.
"We found that every place you went had its own beer. I found that interesting. And I was thinking, why can't we get that over here?"
And following a stint in an off-licence chain after her year of travelling, she took on the role of manager and then worked her way through wine training courses - becoming one of very few people here to earn a diploma in wine.
As I tuck into a rich and gamey flat iron steak, Felicia - who opts for the hake - tells me about taking over running the Crushed Grape in Fermanagh, and beginning an early foray into wine imports. But that soon turned to expanding the range of beer on offer.
After selling some of Co Fermanagh's own craft beers, she moved on to other breweries across Northern Ireland, and then made the jump to setting up her own import business.
But given Northern Ireland's somewhat tricky licensing laws, it was initially a difficult step moving into wholesale beer and spirit sales.
"I found bigger companies were able to open up and buy beer from wherever they wanted," she said. "It was time consuming and unclear. Every time I wanted to add on a new brewery it took me 45 working days."
That's now been lifted, and the firm now represents around 18 different breweries from across the UK and Ireland, as well as Europe and the US. And sales have now equalled the huge increase in demand, with her beers now being sold into more than 115 bars, restaurants and stores across Northern Ireland.
Felicia's partner Michael, a building contractor, has helped her along the way - including building pop-up bars for events.
She said business is now double what it was when things first kicked off two years ago.
And as we finish off with a couple of espressos, Felicia unveils the latest plans in the pipeline - having wine on tap. The concept of bringing top quality vino by the glass is already a growing market, but still very much in its infancy here.

To make the choux pastry, preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Melt the butter with the milk in a medium pan, then bring to a rolling boil, once you can see steam rising from the pan, add in the flour and beat vigorously until smooth. Beat only until it starts to come away from the sides of the pan and is smooth. Allow the dough to cool to the touch, then gradually add in the eggs until you get a smooth dropping consistency (you may not need all of the egg). Transfer the choux pastry mixture to a piping bag with a large round nozzle and pipe 7-10cm (3-4in) lines on a lined baking tray. Dab down any spikes with a wet finger and transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes. When the eclairs are puffed up and golden, remove from the oven and make a small hole in the underside of each with a cocktail stick or sharp knife. Return them to the oven for another 5 minutes, hole side up, then remove and allow to cool completely. Whip the double cream until stiff and pipe into the cold eclairs via the small hole with a piping bag fitted with a thin nozzle. When they are all filled, make the icing by combining 200g (7oz) icing sugar with a little water until you have a very stiff consistency. Divide into three bowls and add a different colour food colouring into each, using whichever colours you like. Use the remaining 50g (2oz) icing sugar to make white icing. Spoon the colourful icing over the eclairs until well covered, then pipe the white icing over the top in any pattern you wish. Add coloured sprinkles to decorate, if liked. Serve.

The world certainly isn't wanting for hagiographies of Seventies punk-rock trailblazers, but rarely has one felt as inauthentic as Rodger Grossman's feature debut, "What We Do Is Secret." Grossman short-changes his subject by framing the tragic, brief musical career and suicide of the Germs' front man Darby Crash (ne Paul Beahm) as a by-the-book rise-and-fall narrative. Even if the film pretends to problematize his image (as hesitant political proselytizer; as scum poet) by inserting half-focused, black-and-white talking-head interview footage of Crash (as embodied by Shane West) making provocations about the need for a fascist state, Grossman is far more interested in him as rock god, capitulating to the standard biopic romanticization of truly unhappy people. (Gus Van Sant smartly abstracted such deification in "Last Days.") Grossman may purposely portray Crash as self-mythologizing, but the film is all too happy to follow that lead.
The filmmaker is evidently enamored of the pockmarked beauty of the 1970s Los Angeles punk milieu, but his seemingly appropriate low budget doesn't make his depiction of it any less broad than, say, Robert Zemeckis's toontown evocation of 60s Americana in "Forrest Gump." The whole thing looks suspiciously freshly scrubbed, with West its preening poster boy. On-stage, West, shirtless and self-lacerating, does mere mimicry, clutching his microphone close and wailing with just the right sneer to allow a glimmer of crooked teeth; off-stage, he's merely hollow, all surface, an imitation of despair. And in either incarnation he's about as dangerous as a Jonas brother in safety-pinned jeans–when Crash disrupts his own audition by throwing flour at his audience, it's framed as triumphant, a scowl in the face of the small-potato powers that be, but West's teenybopper mannerisms make it nothing more than a high school prank. The actor has an improperly ingratiating tone, perhaps unavoidably honed from years of making puppy-love to tween girl viewers in such films as "Whatever It Takes," "A Walk to Remember," and TV's "Once and Again," and listening to him squawk out Crash's guttural antiestablishment screeds is like witnessing some sort of miscalculated drag act.
Then again, actors better than West would still be hard-pressed to make Grossman's endlessly expository dialogue work–it's possible that Crash marked turning points in his five-year career with phrases like "Now it's time to reinvent ourselves as something entirely new" or that before his final performance, a reunion show with the then-defunct Germs, he would self-legendarily proclaim to his on-again, off-again band mates, "We will make it like it was," but when nearly every line from everyone's mouth sounds so implausibly beat-hitting ("Hi, I'm Penelope Spheeris, and I'm directing a film called 'The Decline of Western Civilization'"), one begins to lose faith in the filmmaker's self-awareness. The filmmaking choices are as hackneyed as the dramatic ones: brief flashbacks to Crash's hellish childhood as overlit nightmarish fragments; faux-doc interviews with cast members, replete with those mannered little zooms that now seem instantly parodic; overlaying a pointed "Fuck yeah, dude!" on the soundtrack so that Crash's onstage mirror-shattering stint is communicated to the audience as properly groundbreaking.
If Grossman was so intent on unashamedly dramatizing Crash's tortured personal and performative lives, why does he handle his sexuality with such kid gloves? By accounts, Crash's homosexuality was largely on the down low, but that's no excuse for Grossman to shy away from his relationship with hanger-on Rob (Ashton Holmes, from "A History of Violence"), depicted first as a discreet bedroom seduction, backed by an ominously strummed bass line, and forever after that as an ambiguous are-they-or-aren't-they behind-the-scenes bromance. Instead, Grossman devotes more time to the cheap surfaces: bad wigs, worse drummer jokes, and one pathetic Rodney Bingenheimer imitation take places of honor here. Perhaps Crash's oft-delivered expositions on the symbolism of the circle (the Germs' token image and the cover of their breakthrough album, "(GI)") is truly applicable to this latest glorification of living fast and dying young disguised as a paean to uncompromising rock. Around and around we go, and who's the next dead 22-year-old we can ascend to martyr status?

RR and the defense
I'm treading lightly here, because I know the 2 letters are a powder keg. No hidden agendas here just looking for some insight, actual facts or good rumors. Hopefully Bacon's book will clear all this up, but in the mean time I need something clarified that keeps getting thrown out there in these arguments that I'm not clear about.
What is the source of the thought that RR meddled in the defense with Greg? Just curious if I missed an article where RR discussed this or if this was generally accepted insider info or just the internet saying RR used the 3-3-5 at WV so he must have forced it on Greg because Greg never ran it before.
Like I said I don't want to stir anything up just looking for some info, because the only thing I think I really know over the past 3 years is that Schaffer, the assistants and the players were all on seperate pages that 1st year and that RR went with the players and the assistants wishes at the end of the year and Schafer was soon gone.
I hear this brought up a lot and for me it just doesn't add up that a guy that professes to concentrate most of his time on the offense, would keep meddling with the defense especially after seeing the results. I could see a scenario where he became so frustrated and desperate that he meddled midstream and made it worse, but I'm curious if we know this or just speculated enough to make it true.
Any good info would be appreciated.

The day after we learned that Zynga has purchased OMGPOP, the developers of Draw Something, we are reminded what a real franchise in the mobile world is. Angry Birds with it's 600+ million users is expanding.
Angry Birds Space is now available on just about everything with a screen. This of course includes Android. Angry Birds Space is available now on the Amazon App Store: Free, $0.99 (ad-free), $2.99 Kindle Fire HD version. It includes 60 levels in the initial release. For a quick round-up of Angry Birds Space, see the post from Carter on the game from yesterday.
Talking yesterday with Peter Vesterbacka, CMO of Rovio, we can expect to see regular updates to Angry Birds Space over the coming months — much as we have seen with the other Angry Birds games. We also learned from Peter today that we can expect four additional Angry Birds games this year. Rovio will also be launching a brand new franchise this year, separate from the Angry Birds brand. Something to look forward to!
We'll be posting our review of Angry Birds Space in the morning. But we're guessing if you are Angry Birds fans, you won't wait for our word on the game. So grab it now!

However, around a quarter of the cost will be funded from donations from Riding Lights Members. We ask hosting churches to raise money to support Roughshod's work. This could be from ticket sales at a local Roughshod performance, fundraising events before they visit, or several churches could join together to host a week of work in their community.

He likes holidays
Fosun's boss betting billions building hotels
18 Oct 2013
Week in China
Are Guo Guangchang's investment decisions guided by his wife's shopping habits? In 2011, the president of Fosun, China's largest private conglomerate, told reporters that he had bought a 9.5% stake in the Greek jewellery and luxury goods retailer Folli Follie because "my wife loves the brand too much".
Two years later he's just announced that Fosun has struck a deal with hotel operator Kerzner to build the Atlantis resort on Hainan island, after spending a memorable holiday at the Atlantis Dubai during China's National Day holiday week.
"I often ask my wife: can you find a holiday destination where our family can have fun shopping and eating," Guo told a press conference. "We found such a place and that's Atlantis Dubai."
Atlantis Sanya, which is scheduled to open in 2016, will set Guo back Rmb10 billion ($1.5 billion). The resort will be wholly-owned by Fosun but operated by Kerzner, which manages another property in the Atlantis franchise in the Bahamas. The 153-acre resort will include 1,300 hotel rooms, 18 bars and restaurants, a water park and a dolphin show.
The increase in investment in the tourism business is to cater to the changes in consumer behaviour
Atlantis Sanya will face stiff competition for guests. The beach resorts of Sanya are already a hugely popular destination for Chinese travellers. Over 22 million overnight stays were registered in Hainan in the first eight months of the year, most of them by domestic tourists. To accommodate the inflow, Sanya has more than 200 hotels and many more are in the works. Just last month, Raffles opened its first hotel in Sanya. Starwood's Westin Hotel also debuted its new resort on the island early this month.
Fosun's latest investment isn't a great surprise. Guo is outspoken about his plan to overhaul China's huge but relatively underdeveloped tourism industry. "I love travelling but being on the road (in China) is not just joyful but also painful," he confides, adding that he went to Dubai because he was fed up with the long queues at Hong Kong's Ocean Park.
To that end, Fosun announced that its tourism division will invest as much as Rmb100 billion in tourism-related properties in China (without revealing a timeline). The conglomerate also grabbed headlines earlier this year when it announced plans to acquire the remaining stake in Club Med from French group AXA (Fosun already owns 19.3% in the resort operator). Club Med recently opened a second resort in China, with three more planned by 2015.
"The increase in investment in the tourism business is to cater to the changes we see in consumer behaviour," Guo told International Finance News. "As incomes rise, Chinese consumers now seek out experiences as a major part of their consumption. And as they become more educated, they also become more aware of the quality of the places they visit. So Fosun is positioned to capture these changes."
Other investors are drawing similar conclusions. Last year, private equity firm Carlyle bought a stake in Mandarin Hotel, a mid-market chain, following an earlier investment in Hangzhou-based New Century Hotel in 2007. Prax Capital invested in Shandong-based hotel and restaurant operator Blue Horizon Group in 2008, while SAIF Partners bought a stake in Shenzhen-based operator Vienna Hotel Group in 2007, says the Wall Street Journal.
Chinese tourists are already the world's biggest spenders. Last year they spent $102 billion, a 40% increase from the year before, and enough to take them above the Germans and the Americans, says the United Nations World Tourism Organisation.
They are also becoming more sophisticated in their travel preferences. Instead of joining tour groups, the majority are going abroad with their own itineraries, travelling alone or with family and friends. A survey from Chinese International Travel Monitor earlier this year revealed that 62% of travellers said they prefer to travel independently, while a hotelier report said that only 30% of their Chinese guests were arriving in larger groups. In 2011 the independent-versus-group ratio was evenly split.
