Product Description
Some girls would much rather play with a nice set of voodoo dolls than those other silly, non-magical ones that their friends play with. You can do so much more with the ones imbued with powerful properties such as convincing people to grab a snack for you, tricking your teachers into not giving out homework, or even getting your parents to buy that pet tarantula for you at work. In order to make the magic a little stronger though, sometimes you have to look the part. Maybe even become one of the dolls yourself.
With this wig your child will become one of those adorable, yet kind of scary dolls for her next dress up party. The straight purple hair leaves a cute feel while the frizz on the sides reminds you that this sweet little girl has a bit of a wild side. It fits perfectly with our purple jester costume, or she could even dress up as a punk rocker.

Inside sources at Fox News confirm host Megyn Kelly is doing everything she can to help elect Hillary Clinton.
Our high level source says she is "totally supporting" corrupt Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Kelly has good relations with Team Clinton through her friend Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. She tried to get an interview with Clinton:
Megyn Kelly joins Sheryl Sandberg's new campaign for women https://t.co/pyLEsjLFJv
— WIRAM (@WomenAssetMgmt) June 26, 2016
Sandberg is also very connected to Hillary Clinton. "I want Hillary Clinton to win badly," wrote Sandberg in the Podesta leaks.
Kelly's false allegations against Roger Ailes have also complicated negotiations with Fox News.
"Nobody believes her 11-year-old allegation against Roger but they see she was used to put a knife in the back of the man who made her," says our high level Fox source. We know that "every night she is not serving her audience but is auditioning to be Diane Sawyer. Most of us believe she made up the Roger allegations to advance her career. She waited eleven years!"

The documentary evidence seems to support the claim that Kelly is making up her alleged assault by Roger Ailes. Ailes, in fact, hired her and fought for her when she was hired as an anchor for the network.
That jump to supposed mainstream respectability became more difficult this week when news broke that a talent auction for Megyn Kelly without any bidders.
Murdoch gave the order for Kelly to get into a fight with Donald Trump over the summer, according to the New York Magazine's controversial reporter Gabriel Sherman.
A few days before the first GOP debate on Fox in August 2015, Murdoch called Ailes at home. "This has gone on long enough," Murdoch said, according to a person briefed on the conversation. Murdoch told Ailes he wanted Fox's debate moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace — to hammer Trump on a variety of issues.
Murdoch may now have to bail himself out though if a Wall Street Journal article is any indication he won't be paying Kelly's asking price of $20 million.
Murdoch took the unprecedented move of giving a quote to his paper saying that other reporters would kill for Kelly's job.
"[W]e have a deep bench of talent, many of whom would give their right arm for that spot," said Murdoch.
Kelly will likely get a lot less than the $20 million her agents floated in the press though how much less our insider source didn't say.
It's ironic given that her book, Settle for More, is set to debut on November 15th.
We happen to know Megyn Kelly used to work on "sexual assault" issues at her college. Might that explain why she's such a rabid feminist? Could be.
So why is Fox News host Megyn Kelly betraying her ex-boss and her own country? Her divorce records may have a clue, which is why new media start-up WeSearchr has put out a bounty on them:
OPEN EM UP: @MegynKelly's divorce records. Can they explain why BETRAYED Megyn betrays America now? FUND IT NOW: https://t.co/oqStuaNEWB pic.twitter.com/0VU4zx0lAa
— WeSearchr (@wesearchr) November 1, 2016
Fund the bounty to incentivize others to find the records, or go find them yourself to collect the reward.
Stay tuned for more.

Project EXCEL is a program of support services designed to help students complete their program of study at VHCC. The mission of Project EXCEL is to increase the retention and graduation rates of eligible students, increase the transfer rate of eligible students to four-year colleges, and to foster an institutional climate supportive of the success of eligible students. The services offered include peer tutoring, career counseling, personal counseling, transfer counseling, cultural enrichment, and accommodations for the disabled.
Project EXCEL is supported by federal funds and is mandated to address the individual needs of students who qualify for the program. To qualify for the program and participate in the services, a student need meet only one of the following criteria: have a documented disability, taxable income meets U.S. Department of Education guidelines for low income, or be from a family in which neither parent has received a bachelor's degree. All students qualifying for Project EXCEL must have an academic need.
Participants with documented disabilities (physical or learning) are eligible for programs such as taped textbooks, notetakers, taped lectures, and alternate testing (untimed, out-of-class, oral, scribed). Accommodations for any student with a disability are arranged on an individual basis.
Educational Talent Search
Educational Talent Search is 100% funded by a U.S. Department of Education $308,337 annual grant that provides information, support, and guidance to assist qualified middle and high school students in completing high school and enrolling in post-secondary education.
Services provided include: academic and career counseling, tutoring, SAT preparation workshops, career planning and assessment services, and study skills training. Participating students also receive college information and assistance in completing financial aid applications. All services are free to qualified students.
The Virginia Highlands Educational Talent Search project is authorized to serve 700 students in the Virginia Highlands Community College region. The Educational Talent Search Office is located in OTC 229, (276) 739-2564.
Upward Bound
Upward Bound is 100% funded by a U.S. Department of Education $262,000 annual grant designed to assist students in completing their high school educations and succeeding in college. Participating high school students receive tutoring and counseling services and attend a six-week summer enrichment program on the VHCC campus.
To qualify for the Upward Bound project, students must meet federal low-income guidelines or be from families in which neither parent has earned a bachelor's degree. All services are free to qualified students.

Avengers Academy #23
- Story by

- Art by
- Scott Hanna and Tom Raney
- Colors by
- Chris Sotomayor
- Letters by
- Chris Eliopoulos

- Rodin Esquejo

"Avengers Academy" recently added two new main characters (Lightspeed and White Tiger), so a third character showing up this month seems a little odd at first. But then again, if you had the chance of introducing X-23 in issue #21 or #23, I bet you'd pick the latter, too.
Christos Gage does a good job right off the bat of drawing parallels between X-23's origin and that of the Avengers Academy kids; after all, if anyone's going to understand being twisted by villains into a killing machine, it's these characters, right? I'd actually go so far as to say that Gage has already done a better job of moving X-23 into the book than Lightspeed or White Tiger so far; she has an instant purpose of sounding board when it comes to dealing with the other characters, and she stands out far more than the largely personality free White Tiger.
Gage is juggling three plots here, though, and the other two have their own merits, as well. Striker's coming out to Lightspeed is handled well (even if editorial spilled the beans a few weeks ago) and comes across as quite sincere, although I probably could have done without the molestation portion of the back story. (I understand that a lot of gay kids are targeted because of the perpetrator choosing kids less likely to talk because of their own hidden guilt over being gay, but it's become such a cliche and is so often misunderstood as "molestation = becoming gay" that I'd rather not see it used so often in fiction.) If nothing else it gives a slight character hook for Lightspeed, whose purpose up until now has felt a bit vague, and I'd like to see where Gage is going to move from here with both Lightspeed and Striker.
As for the bigger plotline of Evil Future Reptil, this month's installment definitely is kicking up the pace. We're starting to see his scheme playing out, and his actions are some strong hooks for the months to come, as we start learning how other members of the Academy are being considered expendable. It's good short- and long-term plotting, and it also hammers out a firm direction for the title to move in.
Tom Raney and Scott Hanna do a good job here; that early splash of Tigra and X-23 sparring is beautifully drawn without being exploitative, and the startled looks on the faces of the rest of the cast on the next page is classic Raney. It's funny, a tiny bit cartoonish, and quite expressive. Every now and then some of the staging looks a little awkward (like Giant-Man looming over the Quinjet) but the scene with Reptil and Jimmy in Jimmy's room is so grotesquely wonderful that I'm more than willing to forgive the occasional odd moment.
"Avengers Academy" has, post-"Fear Itself," picked up the pace and become a strong, tightly focused book. (It was good before, but this feels like a real shot in the arm.) Hopefully it will get the attention it deserves; Gage, Raney, and Hanna are turning out a fun and consistent comic here. I'm more than happy to stay enrolled with them as the deans of the school, thank you very much.

Smaller 650c wheels have plenty to offer riders who are less than 5'2". That's because 700c wheels on small bikes make up much more of the total bike length - which means that bikes so equipped usually suffer from toe clip overlap (your feet can foul the wheels) when making tight turns such as when weaving through city traffic.
Sadly, there are very few options for the smaller sporting cyclist who wishes to upgrade a 650c wheelset and only Mavic lists a midrange wheel, the Ksyrium Elite in the 650 size. Liverpool based Pete Matthews is one exception who can supply a 650 wheel from stock based on the deep section carbon Rims by LEW composites in Las Vegas.
These wheels have sprint type rims so you'll have to be prepared to put up with glueing or attaching your preferred tubular (we used Continental Podium's at £20 each) using special tapes. This type of rim has less reciprocating (rotating) weight than a clincher rim of similar dimensions so it is aimed at those who are looking to improve personal bests in a time trial rather than those looking to improve overall fitness.
Pete uses Sapim flat spokes on Royce cartridge bearing hubs for a £890 build, or £499 using Ambrosio cartridge bearing hubs. While the Royce hubs used here aren't the lightest the overall wheel weight excluding tubulars is an impressive 612g for the front and 812g for the rear making them 246g lighter per pair than the Mavic Ksyrium Elite clinchers. A lighter option still are the Pianni Super Record 650 costing £299 per pair that use 17mm deep 16/20 spoke Pianni Record sprint rims and weigh 1357g per pair. While I have only spent four months with them they have stayed perfectly true.

What do modeling, design, finance, auto, shoes and food have in common?
That's right, they are all creative businesses.
A Familiar Story
When I was a kid I loved to draw. When I had to write a book report, I would finish writing in a couple days and then spend at least a week designing and creating a cover. Making a cover was never even part of the assignment.
Somewhere along the way, things like drawing, writing and music took a back seat to getting good grades in the "important" subjects, and sports. Better said, I came to believe those silly creative things belonged in the back seat, so I put them there.
By the time college rolled around I, like most people, learned to believe I wasn't creative.
Not only do I think it wrong to believe that, but I think it's dangerous. Especially for adults.
Here are five areas of every business where creativity is required to build a valuable organization.
- Design: it isn't just about graphics and visual design, it's also about solving problems for customers. What will blow them away? How do you take their needs and turn out a solution? How do you interact with production to make an idea a reality? How do you design in a competitive advantage, whether it's quality, durability, accuracy, etc?
- Production: finding better processes to do things. How can it be produced quicker or cheaper? How can your product of service add to the customer experience? Production requires creativity for manufacturers, service, software and healthcare, among others.
- Sales: selling has become all about pitching, not enough listening, but it's no longer good enough to just talk about yourself. You shouldn't be there to convince a client she needs what you have. You are there to find out what she needs and create something that meets her need. Assuming you really believe the product or service can help, it's an art to figure out how to show them and why. What stories can be told?
- Support Functions: when you start out in these areas you're learning the fundamentals. You're learning how to answer the phone, how to accurately record numbers, how to use systems. But ultimately these supporting functions require creativity too. Answering the phones properly can help customers fall in love with your company. Accounting staff should be out of their seats more than any other function, interacting with the entire business.
- Leadership: how do you get people to do all this stuff? How do you create an environment where results and creativity are valued, where people can generate amazing ideas and have the support to make it happen? How do you tell bigger stories to inspire your team. Creativity is required to see opportunities that no one else sees and make them happen. It's even more difficult to convince your team to make them happen. Still, even more difficult, getting other people to see things that no one else sees and allowing them to make them happen.

More things I observed at SHRM.
- HR professionals don't talk politics. There is a debate on public health care debate in America; there are ongoing problems in Iran; and we are waging two wars that result in combat veterans returning into the labor pool. Here in HR? We're talking about mandatory workplace harassment policies.
- HR people are broke. I've never seen so many financially-strapped people in my life—and no, I'm not talking about homeless people in New Orleans. Attendees can be seen clamoring for free food, cheap hotel rooms, and buffet dinners because they came to the conference on their own dime. The economy has hit our profession hard. It's really tough to see my colleagues and peers decline a proper dinner invitation because they would prefer to eat at Popeyes Chicken. No one prefers crappy chicken.
- HR people are passive-aggressive. We suffer from a weird form of Queen Bee syndrome where we attack one another instead of coming together. We don't burn down the motherf@#$ing house that keeps us broke and eating fast food in New Orleans. Instead, we criticize other HR professionals and many of us forget to celebrate success. I believe that a rising tide lifts all boats. Your success means that my job just got a little easier.
Here are some pictures. I haven't done any video blogging because I'm sweaty. No one wants to see that mess on camera.

1) Contagion: Hollywood Catches the Epidemiology Bug
From zombie outbreaks to population-destroying plagues, Hollywood has never had a shortage of pandemic flicks. So, the public health-minded moviegoer might ask, what's all the buzz about Contagion? What makes it different from a slew of other viral-takeover videos?
One reason is that Contagion gets it right, experts say.
"It's refreshing to see a movie that tries to be as authentic as this one," said Caltech virologist Alice Huang in a discussion about the film. "I thought it was really good at depicting the real situation."
The movie's premise follows a bat virus which is transmitted to pigs and eventually to a woman visiting Hong Kong. As she returns home to the United States, she unknowingly spreads the disease, sparking a worldwide pandemic that will wipe out about a quarter of its victims. Meanwhile, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention search feverishly for a cause and cure, their message of prevention is obscured by a charismatic blogger pushing conspiracy theories and homeopathic cures.
While some liberties were taken with both the science and how society might react to such a threat, many public health professionals felt the movie does plenty to support their cause.
"There was some caricature, but this film effectively conveyed public health concepts," said RAND Health Director Arthur Kellermann in the discussion with Huang and UCLA infectious disease expert Peter Katona. "The importance of infrastructure, the importance of personnel, the notion that germs don't care about your politics or your ideology."
The movie's authenticity (which critics also cite as a selling point) wasn't achieved by chance. Director Steven Soderbergh worked closely with the CDC and even filmed parts of the movie at CDC headquarters in Atlanta. The partnership resulted in not only a more accurate depiction of viral spread, but may have also helped shift the presentation of epidemiologists from lab coat lackeys to the disease detectives they are.
"It seemed to do a pretty credible job of depicting what an [Epidemic Intelligence Service] officer would do in the field," Douglas Hamilton, who heads the CDC's EIS Corps, told the Washington Post. "It's a movie, so everything is a little compressed. The other thing is that EIS officers are very much the point of the spear when CDC responds, but in something as significant as the disease being described in this movie, CDC's response would be much more response than just sending one officer into the field."
Aside from getting most of the facts straight and giving a long unremarked field of science its due, Contagion's biggest appeal to the public health community might be good old-fashioned PR. (And speaking of PR, don't miss this billboard made of real viruses and fungi.) With H1N1 largely out of view, it's been easier for the public to forget all those lessons learned about preventing the spread of disease."The appearance of Contagion is a good thing," Scott McPherson, a flu preparedness specialist and the Florida House of Representatives chief information officer, told the Desert Sun. "It's revved us up and gotten us back on our game."
2) Congressional Research Service Weighs in on Social Media
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's relationship with social media seems destined to be like your granny and Facebook—she might set up an account, but she's not going to use it right and all the while she'll be certain it's going to crash her computer and steal her identity.
That, at least, is the tentative and curmudgeonly gist of a recently released Congressional Research Service report titled, Social Media and Disasters: Current Uses, Future Options, and Policy Considerations. The report was created in response to congressional curiosity about "whether FEMA can move beyond using social media for informational purposes and apply it to improving disaster response and recovery capabilities." The answer is decidedly Magic 8 Ball-like: "Reply hazy, try again."
The report examines two types of social media use by local and international emergency management agencies. It differentiates "passive" dissemination from a more "systematic" approach that might include issuing official communiqués and warnings, receiving requests for assistance, and monitoring the public's posts to enhance situational awareness.
"Many of these applications remain speculative, while others uses remain in their infancy," author Bruce R. Lindsay writes. "Consequently, most emergency management organizations have confined their use of social media to the dissemination of information."
Although the report points out a variety of promising ways FEMA might use social media (creating maps and damage estimates from user-submitted data, delivering targeted recovery assistance, and mobilizing first responders), it concludes with warnings about socially driven misinformation, use of media to mislead officials, and technological limits.
Add the uncertainty about the costs of administering the largely "free" technologies, and the report reaches this conclusion:
"It could be argued that the positive results of social media witnessed thus far have been largely anecdotal and that the use of social media is insufficiently developed to draw reliable conclusions on the matter. By this measure, it should therefore be further examined and researched before being adopted and used for emergencies and disasters."
In an area where not only advances, but also adoption, are lightening fast, the wait-and-see approach might be a tad behind the times.
For instance, the CRS report comes on the heels of a Red Cross survey looking at how people used social media during disasters. Not only did the 2,057-person survey indicate that social media sources rank just below television and radio as an emergency information source, it also found that 80 percent of people thought national emergency responders should monitor social media feeds and respond promptly.
"Social media is becoming an integral part of disaster response," Wendy Harman, American Red Cross director of social strategy, stated in a press release. "During the record-breaking 2011 spring storm season, people across America alerted the Red Cross to their needs via Facebook. We also used Twitter to connect to thousands of people seeking comfort, and safety information to help get them through the darkest hours of storms."
Queensland Police took a similar tack during historic 2010-2011 flooding. Their take-home from the experience (which we reported on in DR 572) was emergency agencies should not only use social media vigorously, they shouldn't hobble its use with policy and protocols.
The CRS report also comes at a time of unprecedented social media adoption by FEMA at the hands Craig Fugate, who is known to practice what he tweets. His message, given at a May 5, 2011, Subcommittee on Disaster Recovery and Intergovernmental Affairs hearing, is that if you want to reach the people, you've got to speak their language."Social media is imperative to emergency management because the public uses these communication tools regularly," he wrote. "Rather than trying to convince the public to adjust to the way we at FEMA communicate, we must adapt to the way the public communicates by leveraging the tools that people use on a daily basis. We must use social media tools to more fully engage the public as a critical partner in our efforts."
3) Watch for Falling Satellites (And Hope What Goes Up Comes Down)
This Friday, on your way to work, or the gym, or drinks with friends, you could get clobbered by a piece of satellite. You probably won't, of course, but you could. And for many, that's fun to think about.
News that NASA's Upper Earth Research Satellite, or UARS, will soon crash to Earth has inspired a sort of twisted glee among the public worldwide, according to the Los Angeles Times and other news sources.
The satellite-related frivolity includes glib polls on where the pieces will land ("My House!" is one option), a Web site taking bets on the point of reentry, and a FoxNews gizmo that supposedly tracks UARS in real time (the server is often down, ostensibly because of popularity). Especially titillating is the 1 in 3,200 chance UARS might fall on a person.
Aside from the sudden interest in plummeting space objects, NASA says there's nothing that provocative about UARS' return home. As of press time Thursday morning, it was too early for scientists to determine where the 20 or so pieces expected to survive reentry would land, but odds are it will be somewhere in the 75 percent of the world that's covered by water.
"The UARS reentry hazard is being overhyped," Don Kessler, a retired NASA senior scientist for orbital debris research, told the Times.
In the mean time, it's the things that go up and don't come down that pose the real hazard. A National Research Council report released earlier this month warned that the growing cloud of orbital debris—manmade junk circling earth—had reached a dangerous tipping point, according to the Washington Post.
Soon the amount of celestial garbage will reach a point where it will trigger a "collision cascade," a concept Kessler posited in the late 1970s. A collision cascade is basically a chain reaction in which junk crashes into other junk, busting it apart and leaving more pieces to crash into. Eventually, the pieces will become prevalent enough that they stray from their ring-like orbit and encase Earth in a shell of debris. Case in point—two collisions in 2007 almost doubled the number of pieces of junk orbiting Earth, according to the Post.Of course, it's not much fun to ponder a future 10 or 20 years from now where our atmosphere is so polluted that we can't launch a satellite or explore space. Perhaps that's why our collective imagination has latched onto the UARS scenario. But beware, NASA officials say: If you should come upon a piece of UARS, you shouldn't touch it. It could be sharp.
4) Too Much, Too Soon: Warning Fatigue Lent to Joplin Tornado Death Toll
Advance warnings of a coming EF-5 tornado were no help to those injured or killed in Joplin, Missouri. They might even have discouraged action, according to an assessment issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Tuesday.
The majority of Joplin residents surveyed did not immediately go to shelter upon hearing the initial warning, whether from local warning sirens, television, NWR [National Weather Radio,] or other sources," the report states. "Instead, most chose to further clarify and assess their risk by waiting for, actively seeking, and filtering additional information."
These delays were probably the result of a widespread skepticism about alert sirens, which were perceived as going off frequently and for low consequence events, such as heavy rain or thunderstorms.
"All sirens mean is there is a little more water in the gutter," said one person surveyed in the report.
However, some of those who died might have taken precautions, National Weather Service Meteorologist and assessment team leader Richard Wagenmaker told the Associated Press.
"It's really hard to tell how many people that perished in the tornado did not take shelter," he said. "It was a very large tornado, so there were certainly a number of people who did all the right things, took shelter in the best available place, but still found themselves in situations that weren't survivable. So it's really hard to make that assessment."The report includes several recommendations, including continued education for businesses, improved warning systems that provide clear, consistent messages and avoid "user complacency," and better collaboration with local partners to provide better warning.

The client is one of the major electrical utility companies in the U.S. Its functions include distribution and supply of electricity to a wide range of customers including small domestic customers and medium/ large commercial and industrial users. It also has generating capacity from interests in nuclear, hydroelectric and fossil-fueled power plants.
The client needed to improve the productivity of Call Service Representatives (CSR) by advancing the design of workstation application after usability study. It also wanted to integrate Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) to reduce call time while improving service.
The same application was used for both the back office and call center, which leads to less efficiency during client interactions. The challenge was to reduce the call handling time as well as keep all technologies integrated within the existing mainframe. To do this, appropriate design for CSR navigation had to be decided.
Infosys proposed to the front-end of the WS application be re-engineered to create a User Interface (UI) specific to CSR needs for optimal call work-flow. Infosys was integrally involved throughout the process, initially as a facilitator during discovery stage and later as a system integrator.
Infosys defined the Optimum Screen Navigation to reduce 'Average Call Handle' time and call waiting time. There was a complete reuse of an old backend for new GUI's backend integration. The re-engineering of front-end was minimized through reuse of business model objects.
This solution resulted in:

Slice of Life Story Challenge Day 18 =The Wonder of Words
So I can understand
Let me be close to you
Under your ceiling fan..'
Later in the morning I was in a shop with the unforgettable name, 'Fat William's' when I overheard a small girl inform her mother, 'It's okay Mum, I'll be happy with anything, you decide to buy me.'
What made this comment special was its pre-emptive nature for the mother had not indicated any intention to purchase items on the small child's behalf. Later in the day, a commentator on the television described a footballer as being, tougher than a goat's knee. I just instantly loved that description. I had to write it down.
Every day, words present themselves and I will continue to tap into this rich vein of treasure. I must use all my senses in this ongoing investigation of the world, for when I look at my favourite authors, I notice one thing they share, -they are all collectors. So, I will continue to document what I am drawn to. I will continue to let the words sing in my head before they explode across the page.

Two Fridays ago, Al "Carnival Time" Johnson went to Ernie K-Doe's Mother-in-Law Lounge for a benefit fish fry to help him fix up his Tennessee Street home. Before the afternoon was over, though, Johnson was pulled into a ceremony that had to do with a more permanent resting place.
"I told him, 'You can fix up your home, fine, but you have to fix your eternal home, too,'" says Antoinette K-Doe, proprietor of the North Claiborne Avenue lounge.
K-Doe ushered Johnson into a back room, where he joined Paul Barbarin, Marie Louise Barbarin Baptiste, attorney Miles Trapolin and Friends of New Orleans Cemeteries (FNOC) stalwarts Robert Florence and Anna Ross Twichell. Beneath a crowded display of portraits and photographs of K-Doe's late husband, Ernie K-Doe, the group executed and signed documents establishing the New Orleans Musicians Tomb in a society tomb controlled by the Barbarins.
Through the archway, one could glimpse -- by leaning a bit -- a wooden jewelry box lying under the gaze of a lifelike mannequin of Ernie K-Doe. Inside the box lay the ashes of Lloyd Washington, last of the Ink Spots, who passed away in June at the age of 83. This fall, Washington is due to be the first musician buried in the tomb after it is completely restored by FNOC.
The 18-vault tomb, located along the St. Louis Street side of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, will bear a plaque designating it as the Société "L'Union Sacrée" / Barbarin Family / Musicians' Tomb. A larger plaque will list New Orleans musicians as they are entombed at the site. Eventually, says Florence, hundreds of musicians' names could be added to the plaque.
Inclusion in the tomb will not be limited to those who can't afford another place for burial, Florence says. FNOC will use the same criteria as the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic to determine who is a professional musician and can therefore go in the tomb.
"I feel good about being part of this," says Johnson, who signed the papers as an official witness. Twichell beamed to see an idea she proposed five years ago become a reality. "You can imagine how I feel," Twichell says. "I feel blessed."
Johnson's life illustrates just the sort of situation that Musicians' Tomb backers seek to remedy. His fame as author and performer of the Mardi Gras anthem "Carnival Time" all but eclipses his given name, but most people outside the city's musical community wouldn't recognize him. Like most New Orleans musicians, he is neither wealthy nor an international celebrity.
That was the case with Lee Dorsey, whose rendition of Allen Toussaint's "Working in the Coal Mine" is familiar worldwide, and Jessie Hill, known for "Ooh Poo Pah Doo," which he composed and sang. But neither Dorsey nor Hill are buried in the heart of the city where they made music. In fact, there's no easy way, short of calling relatives, for a visitor to find out where these or other musicians are buried. A list of burial sites for eight famed New Orleans musicians is available online at http://nutrias.org/~nopl/facts/burials.htm, but neither Dorsey nor Hill is on it.
"These legends need a place in the city," says K-Doe, who with her late husband served as grand marshall of FNOC. "Think about it. If you're a tourist, you're running all over the place trying to find out where the legends are."
FOR MANY, THE DEATH OF ERNIE K-DOE in 2001 first brought into focus the issue of musicians' final resting places. K-Doe, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Universe whose name will be forever tied to his hit "Mother-In-Law," told friends before his death that he wanted to be buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 2. The K-Does did not have rights to any of the tombs in the historic cemetery, however. Twichell's daughter, Heather Twichell, solved the problem by inviting Antoinette K-Doe to bury her husband in her father's family tomb, to which she holds the title. When Ernie K-Doe's actual mother-in-law -- Antoinette's mother, of whom Ernie K-Doe was actually fond -- died six months later, Heather repeated the gesture.
The media wrongly reported that Ernie K-Doe was buried in Twichell's tomb because he was too poor to be buried elsewhere, says Antoinette K-Doe impatiently. A delay in funeral arrangements caused by then-mayor Marc Morial's attendance at a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People convention spurred the rumors, she says. "All of that at Gallier Hall, the funeral arrangements, who do you think covered that?" K-Doe asks. "I did."
Still, New Orleans has become infamous for the sad fate of many of its musicians. In 2001, the Los Angeles Times highlighted the sorry state of musicians' burials in a major news feature. Wrote staff writer Megan K. Stack: "The equation of music and death goes something like this: Funerals have their own kind of jazz -- dirges -- and musicians have their own sort of burials: the makeshift kind, scraped together from charity when a neglected body finally gives out." Rick Bragg drove the point home months later with an article for The New York Times about musicians buried in paupers' graves here.
Anna Ross Twichell says the idea of a musicians' tomb initially seemed simple enough. Five years ago, she was standing in front of the Homer Plessy tomb in St. Louis No. 2 and caught sight of a pair of abandoned society tombs. "I thought, we could bury everybody in the city in a tomb like that if we cremated them," she says. Various possibilities came to mind, including an artists' tomb and a tomb for AIDS victims. But a tomb for musicians was always at the top of the list. "I thought, we need to give the musicians a tomb. Some of them don't have money set aside for burial," Twichell says.
Assuming responsibility for abandoned tombs, however, is a dauntingly complex procedure. When all the survivors of a benevolent society have died without legally disposing of their property, no procedure exists for bringing that property back into use. It took years for FNOC, the nonprofit preservation group that Florence helped found in 1998, to locate a tomb that had living heirs attached to it. Before the Barbarins came forward, the group negotiated unsuccessfully with two other parties for rights to bury musicians in apparently unused society tombs.
"It's a great big problem," says Jody Rome, assistant director for cemeteries at the Archdiocese of Greater New Orleans. Rome estimates that there are at least 95 society tombs that are considered to be abandoned in the city's diocesan cemeteries. The archdiocese makes that call when there have been no title transfers or burials in 50 years and when the tomb is no longer being cared for, Rome says.
But abandonment doesn't mean it's legal to give someone else rights to a space. And because human remains are involved, relatives can be very touchy about tampering, even when it's done in the name of restoration. "We've been involved in situations where a tomb has fallen to the ground and we've removed bricks -- and we've had to go to court to defend ourselves because we cleaned up the rubble," Rome says.
The informal nature of some of the societies makes the problem even more tangled. "It could've been a handshake between a couple of guys in back of a barroom," says Rome.
Greg Osborn, a research librarian with the Louisiana Division of the New Orleans Public Library and an avowed cemetery-lover, agrees. Osborn, who co-founded FNOC with Florence, has studied the 19th century groups that came together to sponsor burial structures. As far as he can tell, the earliest of those groups were tradesmen who combined their skills to jointly build tombs -- just as they came together to help build one another's houses. They were closely followed by lay Catholic societies such as the Society of St. Anne.
Immigrant groups would also band together for burials, creating large, sometimes spectacular tombs such as the Italian Mutual Benevolent Association Tomb in St. Louis No. 1. Finally, Masonic groups -- noted for emblems such as the all-seeing eye -- would join together to sponsor burial vaults for their members.
The tomb that the Barbarins offered for use was probably of the second type, says Osborn. Title to the tomb was issued in the name of Société "L'Union Sacrée" on Feb. 6, 1922, though researchers from the University of Pennsylvania date the first use of the structure to 1871. That earlier date puts the society in line with the numerous lay Catholic groups started by free people of color in the decades after the Civil War, says Osborn.
"A lot of titles were first issued in the 19-teens, when the archdiocese started demanding that you had a title to bury you," Osborn says. Before that, he figures, the Church knew which families were genuinely associated with the cemetery, in part because the living still tended regularly to the tombs of the dead.
In some ways, making "L'Union Sacrée" structure into a musicians' tomb is redundant. The majority of the burials recorded in the tomb are of Barbarin family members or their spouses, and the Barbarins are indisputably one of the city's most musical families. Already interred in the tomb, known in the archdiocesan inventory as SLS 21, are Onward Brass Band leader Isidore Barbarin; his son Lucien, a drummer; and his daughter Rose Barbarin Barker Colombel, mother of beloved musician and teacher Danny Barker. Lucien's son Charles, a trumpeter, is also there.
"All they do in the Barbarin family is talk about music, all the time music," said Danny Barker of his mother's family in a 1981 interview with Jason Berry.
Paul Barbarin, Isidore's grandson, smiles on the fact that the tomb will now be available to musicians who are not Barbarin family members. But it was the practical need to get help in restoring the tomb that drove him and his sister to decide to cut a deal with FNOC. In 1987, the archdiocese banned future burials in the structure until it could be restored. But restoring the tomb to make it sound for both caskets and urns will cost a minimum of $10,000, an amount that neither of the Barbarin siblings were prepared to pay. When their cousin Sylvia Barker, Danny Barker's daughter, approached them about swapping some space for a full restoration, they agreed.
Under the agreement, only six of the tomb's 18 vaults will be made available to FNOC. Even the use of those is non-exclusive, leaving the Barbarins and their relatives plenty of room for family. The restoration, plaque and enrollment in the Archdiocese of New Orleans' perpetual care program are estimated to cost FNOC about $20,000. The group already has raised half of that amount through fundraisers in which many local musicians played for free, Florence says.
Trapolin, who donated his legal services to FNOC, dodged the stickiest parts of the transaction by framing it as an exchange granting a "right of use" rather than as a transfer of real estate. Still, he opened the signing on July 16 with a litany of caveats, warning that the Barbarins might be open to a challenge from anyone who could prove a relationship with société "L'Union Sacrée."
Despite popular belief, case law does not hold up the idea that heirs of the last surviving member of a benevolent association inherit the association's property, Trapolin says. That called the Barbarins' claim to own the tomb into question, even though Marie Barbarin Baptiste has the yellowed 1922 certificate of title in her possession. "The only way to get it clear is to go through the courts," Trapolin says. In the end, the group opted for the definition of the society as a "partnership," a tactic that opened the door for Paul and Marie to inherit some of their grandfather's rights to the tomb.
FNOC members say they aren't too concerned that, after all these years, someone might surface to challenge the musicians' new rights to the tomb. "If somebody wants to be that much of a jerk, we'll just take our bones and leave," Twichell says.
UNDERLYING THE CONVERSATION in the dark room behind the Mother-In-Law was the strange sense that the players were already deeply connected. In fact, Twichell's daughter's tomb lies around the corner from the last resting place of Paul Barbarin and Danny Barker in St. Louis No. 2. L'Union Sacrée tomb, meanwhile, received a plaque from FNOC marking its place in jazz history in 2002 -- long before the group knew that using the tomb for other musicians might be an option, Florence says.
Washington's interment, scheduled for Sept. 24, will double as a dedication celebration for the Musicians' Tomb. The fete will include a second line and a gathering at the grave. Florence hopes it will set a precedent for funeral processions that will now be able to take musicians on their last parade all the way to the cemetery.
Heather Twichell's tomb became a de facto musician's tomb last year when it received the remains of rock 'n' roll pioneer Earl King in addition to those of K-Doe and his mother-in-law. But she's glad to see a more stable situation for musician burial emerge in the city's oldest cemetery, she says.
So is Antoinette K-Doe, who asked at the end of the signing if everything's all set. "So that means Lloyd can go in the tomb?" she asked Trapolin, nodding at Washington's ashes. "Good. 'Cause I'm tired of him sleeping in here."
Musicians interested in registering for the Musicians' Tomb should contact Florence at email@example.com.

She's been a familiar face in every Latino household since most of us were probably kids. As the fresh-faced, rags to riches girl in the hit Mexican telenovela, Marimar, to the internationally acclaimed singer of such hits like Amor a la Mexicana and A Quien Le Importa, Thalía Sodi has been breaking barriers around the world from the start and now she's given us another reason to love her with a fun and sexy fashion line for the every woman.
Miami Racked caught up with the Latina beauty at Macy's at Miami International Mall, where they gabbed all about her latest fall collection (prints!), her travel must-haves (here's a clue), and that not-so glamorous denim cowboy outfit from way back when (sorry, Cavalli)!
You have such a loyal fanbase. All of your fans have been out here for hours waiting to get a glimpse of you. Does it ever get old for you?
Never! That's my inspiration. That's why I continue reinventing myself in so many different areas. I think they are the ones that keep me going in every single way and to be here and to know that some of them came from Brazil, some of them came from Argentina, just to be here today in Miami with me, I think that's the gift of this career.
And now you've added designer to all the things you've already accomplished. Why did you want to come out with your own collection?
I think to me, that inspiration, again, was that woman, that has one or two or three [jobs] in one day, and from there she goes home, she takes care of the kids, cooks, does homework, then she takes care of her husband, and if she's lucky enough, she can go out to have a margarita with her friends, and start all over again the next day. So to me, I wanted to make her life simple with comfortable fabrics that hide the places that you have to hide, and make them look glamorous, gorgeous, sexy, but always elegant.
Miami has its own fashion! We love our prints and we love our colors. Tell me what you love most about dressing Miami women?
What I like is that in this collection– we have different collections for different markets, especially for Miami– it comes with something more colorful. More little dresses, more gust, more flow, maybe prints, more animal prints, more flowers. I know my girl! I know what she wants and that's why I'm so happy. Because the shoes are sexy, the jewelry is incredible, so glam and elegant. And the outfits– with the dresses, the jeans, the pants, everything– is always like a second skin. You don't have to have something tight or uncomfortable to look good, no?!
What's in your suitcase when you come to Miami? What are your must-haves?
Makeup! Makeup! Makeup! My must-have... I have to have a comfortable yoga outfit. A must. Because I'm always with the kids on the go. I'm always running after them. So I need to have sneakers and comfortable yoga clothes. But then I think just like a simple gypsy dress, with like a nice piece of jewelry or bracelet. That's it. It does the trick!
Do you give fashion tips to everyone in your house? Do you say, 'you gotta wear this,' or 'we're not wearing that?'
No. I tried to do that and it was impossible! Especially with my daughter, Sabrina. She has a mind of her own. She wears her leggings and then on top she can add like a tutu and then on top she can have like a tank top and then a sweater off the shoulder. I mean she has all these ways she dresses and its amazing. She has her own style! In fact, she works with me on some of the ideas in here. It's funny because she comes and says, 'Mami, why don't you add this dress from my doll that has stars to this leopard. Why don't you combine the two of them?' or 'Mami, you have a point!' So she has great ideas and I always listen to her.
Is it possible for you to actually have a faux pas, 'what was I thinking?!' moment? If you look back in your career, you think of an outfit and say, 'why did I wear that?!"
Millions! (laughs)
Give us one good one!
I think there's one I'm always like, 'why?!' because I had so many amazing options that day. Donatella [Versace] sent me some incredible gowns, this other [designer] one sent me this other thing, there was a Valentino dress that I had, so why did I go with a Cavalli denim suit? It was like denim boots here, a short little dress here, a long denim coat. Still today, I'm like, 'why?!' I'm still thinking about that Versace dress! Why?! That was the one!

Using an employee directory is similar to using a phone book or other reference material to find a specific person within a network of employees. The directory varies depending upon the company, school or organization. It is important to pay attention to the instructions for each individual directory.Continue Reading
Employee directories help you locate individuals in particular divisions, departments or branches of companies, schools or organizations. For some employee directories, such as for the staff-only National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directory, usernames and passwords are required. Generally, it is necessary to know at least the first or last name of the employee you are seeking. For example, Northeastern University's employee directory allows you to search using the first or last name, primary/secondary appointment department, campus address or secondary division to locate an employee. This and many other directories have drop-down menus to help narrow your search.
With many organizations, you have the option to browse alphabetized employee lists. Some entities may choose to format their directories into PDFs, so you may conveniently print them and have them on hand. The Oregon government website provides both an alphabetized list and one available in PDF. Employee directories are overall quite simple to use once you know the format and the requirements to make your search process as smooth as possible.Learn more about HR

Over the years smartphones slowly replaced the point and shoot cameras we used to carry around, more like schlep as some of them were heavy, to capture those beautiful, poignant, and memorable events in our life. Then applications came along to edit and modify those images to create something enduring.
We've discussed quite a few photo editing apps over the years, most recently in the top photo editing applications for BlackBerry 10, and one that stood out for me is Effetica Pro. This full featured photo-editing application offers an array of filters, themes, frames, overlays, and tools to ensure you get the most out of your images to share with friends, family, and followers.
Regularly priced at $3.99, the developer is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Effetica's initial release in BlackBerry World by giving away 100 free copies. While the application incorporated several important and useful features since it was first released, you can read the original review or test drive the limited free version.
To grab your free copy of Effetica (while supplies last) here's the drill:
- Launch BlackBerry World
- Swipe down from the top and tap on Redeem
- Enter the following promo code: EFFETICA1YEAR
- The application should now show as free. Tap on the button to download
The code itself expires on Thursday, though I'm betting they will be gone in the blink of an eye. You can purchase the application by clicking on the link below and it supports all BlackBerry 10 devices

For the latest UFL product releases and news.
Arper was established in 1989, springing from a previous, artisanal leather-working business. While exploiting its know-how of leather-seat manufacturing and maintaining the same high quality, Arper soon perceived the necessity of a broader product range, including the use of other materials, in order to meet the demands of a market which was increasing diverse and demanding not only in terms of quality and safety, but above all of style. Arper's growth and development guidelines were immediately clear: market internationalisation; environmental research; and product and research innovation.
Thus, from the late 90s onwards, Arper started making significant investments in technological innovation and new-materials research. These were the years of major partnerships with Studio Lievore, Altherr, Molina, which led to Duna, Oasi (2000), Masai, Ston, Catifa 53 (2001), Catifa 46, Palm, Dizzie and Eolo (2004), and Leaf (2005).
Corte small armchair was introduced in 2004, the result of a collaborative effort with designer Rodolfo Dordoni. More recent collaborations include those with Jean-Marie Massaud, creator of the Aston collection (2006), and with Simon Pengelly, designer of the Babar stool (2006).
In 1997 Arper attained ISO 9001 (quality) certification and, from 2006, ISO 14001 (environmental management).
In 2008 Arper presented Catifa 60 (design by Lievore, Altherr, Molina) and new versions of existing collections by Lievore, Altherr, Molina and by Jean-Marie Massaud. A new product and a number of new versions which reassert Arper's intention of focusing on the contract market but without excluding the residential world.
Arper demonstrated in 2008 its firm determination to implement an environmental impact plan through actions covering every aspect of its production chain. In fact in March 2008 Arper was granted EPD certification for Catifa 46 and 53 (version with pedestal base/four-leg version; single- or two-tone). In November 2008 Arper's entire chair production obtained GREENGUARD certification).
Today, Arper is well-placed to interpret the requests and trends of the international market (the company exports to over 80 countries) with a varied, comprehensive range of chairs and tables which are equally suited for the residential, contract and office sectors.


text: LINQ to SQL visualizer plug-in 12. december 2007 Michael ASP.NET, C#, Tools (0) If you're running Visual Studio 2008 and are poking around with LINQ you might have noticed that the great tool "LINQ to SQL Visualizer" which was included in the beta releases of VS2008 is nowhere to be found. For what-ever reason, Microsoft decided not to include visualizer with the RTM version of VS2008. However it's possible to download a Visual Studio Project, compile the Visualizer Project into a DLL and then add the .dll files to your VS 2008 "Visualizers" folder. I've downloaded the project and did a (debug) build of it so you don't have to - the LINQ to SQL visualizer plug-in can be downloaded right here in binary format: SqlVisualizer.zip (22.98 kb) Now all you have to do is this: 1. Unzip the .zip file 2. Copy the two files into the Visualizers directory, which by default is located at C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Visualizers. You may have to create the Visualizers directory. In Windows XP and earlier versions, use the My Documents directory rather than Documents. If you have permissions, you can also copy the file to the following directory:...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers. 3. Exit Visual Studio and restart to make sure that the visualizer is recognized. To test the visualizer, simply debug your favorite LINQ project and set a breakpoint at your "var query = from ...", and hover the move pointer over the variable name query and click the magnifying glass icon that appears - Voila the resulting SQL (from the LINQ expression) is shown and you can even edit/execute to see the result. This is what you should be looking for (the magnifying glass icon is present):
