For Layla's sparkle birthday party I made my very first ruffle-icing cake. I also made a mini ruffle cake out of cupcakes for her cousin who shares the same birthday and is a year younger. And seeing as the (Green's Vanilla) cupcakes tasted much better than Nigella's buttermilk cake recipe (sorry Nigella) and most kids just eat the icing anyway, I thought it a nice occasional alternative to cupcakes.
I also thought just for fun I'd show you how to do the ruffle icing (no doubt incredibly amateurishly) – especially seeing as Jess asked for a tutorial. Though a cooking related-tutorial is the last thing I expected to ever be doing on this blog – I'm not the best cook, though I am trying to be better and am actually enjoying it a little more lately (probably because Layla is into it so it's something we do together). But I did Google a how-to myself so I guess another one can't hurt… I'm headless and hopeless at remembering what I'm meant to be talking about and Zak makes a special appearance and food-critic commentary ("mmmmmm"), but you should get the idea. It's pretty simple. It's also very late. I made this video the same week of Layla's party. Which was more than a month ago (cue much groaning and sighing)…
* Cupcakes (I have tried a billion different recipes but nothing tastes as good as the packet mix Green's Vanilla Cupcakes. I feel like a cheat but it is SO GOOD)
* A whole lotta butter cream (Nigella's butter cream is yummo: 300g butter, 700g icing sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsn milk all mixed together and fluffy.
* A knife or spatula
* An icing bag and nozzle
* Silver balls and topper
2. Ice the top and fill in the indent between the two cakes with a swab of icing. Yes, there will be a LOT of icing.
3. Follow the instructions on putting together your icing bag from the instructions and then pipe around the cake (see video).
5. Eat and enjoy and then be sick later. Possibly.
Have a fabbo weekend. We had a mini break this week in FREEZING COLD CANBERRA (um, it was -3 one morning. I don't do cold very well. I certainly don't do minus degrees. Brr). And I feel a little bit rested and refreshed (mostly due to the cold!). I hope to get back to more regular blogging soon.

Indiana Coach Tom Crean said he has apologized to Michigan assistant Jeff Meyer for their heated exchange after Sunday's game.
Crean said during the Big Ten coaches conference call Monday that he apologized to Meyer over the phone on the way to the plane afterward. He said he wishes he had "never addressed anything after the heat of battle in a game, but I did and we move on. End of story."
The incident happened on the court after the Hoosiers beat the Wolverines 72-71 for the Big Ten title. Indianapolis TV station WRTV showed Crean being restrained as he yelled at Meyer: "You know what you did. You helped wreck the program. You helped wreck our program."
Crean was hired by Indiana in 2008 and inherited a program burdened by NCAA sanctions for violations under former coach Kelvin Sampson. Meyer served on Sampson's staff but was cleared of any major violations.
Michigan Coach John Beilein said he did not see the confrontation as it happened. He saw video of it on Monday morning and said Meyer "showed great poise" and called him "a great coach" who has helped rebuild the program "brick by brick, side by side, with me."
He also said, "Michigan is always going to win with class and they're going to lose with class. We're never going to use victory or defeat to vent ... any frustrations we're going to have."
No. 1 Gonzaga rolls to title
Kelly Olynyk had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and top-ranked Gonzaga bolstered its case for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament by routing Saint Mary's 65-51 in the West Coast Conference finals Monday night at Las Vegas.
Already headed to the NCAA Tournament for the 15th straight season, Gonzaga (31-2) sure had the look of a No. 1 seed, playing a superb game at both ends.
The deep Zags shot 52 percent, dominated inside and teamed up to hound Gaels leading scorer Matthew Dellavedova everywhere he went. Elias Harris added 19 points for Gonzaga, which had a 42-18 in the paint.
Saint Mary's (27-6) labored against Gonzaga's attacking defense, particularly after point guard Jorden Page injured his right knee midway through the first half.
Dellavedova struggled for the second straight game, scoring two points on 1-for-8 shooting, and the Gaels went 7-for-27 from three-point range.
Rowe leads MTSU women
Middle Tennessee's Ebony Rowe knew well what it was like to walk off the Summit Arena court after a difficult loss, having done so the last two seasons.
The junior out of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School made sure she didn't have to experience that feeling again Monday, scoring 20 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to lead the Blue Raiders to a 53-48 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt Conference championship game at Hot Springs, Ark.
Middle Tennessee (25-7) earned its fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance with its first tournament title since 2010. Last season, the Blue Raiders lost in overtime to UALR before making the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team.
"It feels a lot better to know you're going to watch and you're name's going to get called, without a doubt," Middle Tennessee guard Kortni Jones said. "Last year, we were on pins and needles.
"... This year, we know our name will pop up."
Middle Tennessee found a way to rally from seven points down in the second half to return to the top of the conference it has ruled for a decade. The Blue Raiders will make their seventh NCAA appearance in the last eight years.
Rowe made four free throws during the closing run, and she hit 12 of 15 free throws overall in earning Most Valuable Player honors.
"I've been saying it all year, we're such a dangerous team because we know how to play together," Rowe said. "And we play really well together."
U of L women lose to Irish
Notre Dame is back in the Big East Tournament title game for a third straight season. Kayla McBride scored 17 points and Skylar Diggins added 14 to help No. 2 Notre Dame beat 16th-ranked Louisville 83-59 in the semifinals at Hartford, Conn.
The top-seeded Irish extended a school record with their 25th straight victory. Only top-ranked Baylor, which handed Notre Dame its only loss this season, has a longer active winning streak.
The Irish (30-1) led the Cardinals by six at the half before opening the second period with a 13-2 run to take command. Louisville Coach Jeff Walz got the play he wanted to start the second half when Antonita Slaughter had an open three — which she missed.
"It's a six-point game at the half and if that goes in it's a three-point game," he said. "We have some momentum in our favor. She couldn't make it then they started scoring some in transition. They did a really nice job in scoring when they needed to."
It only got worse for Louisville (24-8) as its deficit kept expanding. Notre Dame's lead ballooned to 31 before Louisville closed the gap against the Irish reserves.
Shoni Schimmel scored 20 points and Sara Hammond added 12 to lead the Cardinals, who were playing their final game in the Big East conference.
"It's been a good six years for me," Walz said. "They do a really nice job of putting on a good tournament here."
Baylor women win Big 12
Brittney Griner and top-ranked Baylor can now turn their attention to again winning the biggest prize.
Griner scored 31 points and the defending national champion Lady Bears won their third consecutive Big 12 Tournament championship, rolling past No. 23 Iowa State 75-47 at Dallas.
In a matchup of the Big 12's top two seeds, the Lady Bears (32-1) and their 6-foot-8 senior star easily earned another trophy in their dominating run through the Big 12.
Griner, already a two-time All-American, had 23 points by halftime, outscoring Iowa State by 10 points on her own.
Odyssey Sims added 20 points for Baylor, including three three-pointers in the first 4 minutes after halftime.
MVC commish outraged
The commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference said he would rather have the tournament title game televised on the Food Network if CBS can't guarantee it will televise the entire game nationally.
Doug Elgin told The Associated Press on Monday that central and northern Illinois and all of Indiana didn't see the conclusion of Creighton's 68-65 nail-biter over Wichita State. Wichita State shaved a 13-point deficit to one in the final minute and Malcolm Armstead missed a potential tying three-pointer just before the buzzer Sunday.
"They'll never be able to make this up to us," said Elgin, adding the conference had received "hundreds" of complaints from irate fans. "Our concern is our most important game of the year carries nationally — all of it. That's certainly what we bargained for."
CBS switched some viewers to the start of Indiana's victory at Michigan for the Big Ten title. The 10-team Missouri Valley has four schools in the areas that missed the finish of the championship game — Bradley, Illinois State, Indiana State and Evansville.
Conference honors
Louisville junior Gorgui Dieng, who was second in Big East play in rebounding (10.8) and blocked shots (2.8) was named the conference's defensive player of the year.
■ Michigan guard Trey Burke was named Big Ten player of the year by both a media panel and league coaches.
The media's All-Big Ten first team is Burke, Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller of Indiana, and Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas of Ohio State. The coaches went with almost the same exact group, except Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr. replaced Craft.
Both the media and the coaches named Gary Harris of Michigan State freshman of the year and Bo Ryan of Wisconsin coach of the year.
■ Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart was The Associated Press Big 12 men's basketball Player of the Year. He was also named the league's top freshman.

(BaseballStL) — Tuesday the Cardinals formally announced the return of former closer Jason Motte. Following the optioning of Sam Freeman to Memphis Sunday, it was a matter of time before the hard-throwing righty returned to the active roster.
"It's good. It's definitely been a long road," Motte said in front of his locker before the game. It was the first time in nearly 20 months he stood there as an active player for the Cardinals.
Following his 42-save campaign in 2012, Motte missed all of last season undergoing, then recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Even with a day-by-day approach, a return to action is a major milestone. The easy-going 31-year-old admitted Tuesday that though he tempers his expectations, it was a special commute to work.
"Today I was driving in to the field and I was looking up at the highway and I was like, 'you know, this is a little bit different drive coming into the field,'" he said. "Because even in the rehab stints, you know if you go to the park- ok you're throwing that day, you know when you're throwing."
With Mike Matheny revealing acting closer Trevor Rosenthal will be unavailable for the series opener with the Diamondbacks, the timing of Motte's first appearance is anyone's guess. Matheny did mention he is a candidate for final-inning work.
For Motte, nearly two years of waiting has bred patience. With the Cardinals' best deep-inning starter on the mound in Adam Wainwright, there is a chance the bullpen gets a night off en masse, something that wouldn't bother the bearded hurler one bit.
"I'd be perfectly fine in Waino wanted to go the whole way. I'm sure everybody else would be too," he said when asked if he'd like the St. Louis ace to leave an inning for him. "If it's tonight if it's tomorrow if it's two days from now. It's going to be what it's going to be."
In his six rehab appearances this season, Motte didn't allow a single run in nearly seven innings while surrendering three hits and striking out five. As for his role on the Cardinals, he said he's looking at it in a very simple way.
"When the phone rings and Mike tells me to get going, I'm going to get going," he said. "Hopefully I can get all the outs he wants me to get before he takes the ball out of my hand."

SHINee's Jong Hyun under attack for his support of the sexual minority
On December 14th, Jong Hyun, a member of the K-pop group SHINee, changed his twitter profile picture to represent his support of the sexual minority, and now he is under attack.
Editor's note: The term "sexual minority" is commonly used in South Korea to represent people in the LGBT*QA community.
Some members of ILBE, which is famous for being a troll community site made up of people who insist they are extreme conservatives, joined SHINee's fan club website in order to attack Jong Hyun. They also did the same thing on ILBE, so SHINee's fan club, SHINee World, declared war against ILBE. After ILBE members posted some obscene photos with mean captions related to women's bodies on SHINee's website, the war quickly became serious.
In Korea, demonstrations by religious circles and university students on the state of affairs keep going on against the present government. There are protests called 'How are you? I am not alright. 안녕들 하십니까? 저는 안녕하지 못합니다.' in which students hang handwritten posters on universities' bulletin boards and outside to express their frustration.
K-pop group SHINee's Jong Hyun changed his twitter profile photo to one of theses protester's posters. Interestingly, he chose one that points out the unfairness of a Korean society that suppresses the sexual minority. This poster was written by a transsexual university student who is bisexual. After Jong Hyun's profile became famous among netizens and SNS users, he sent personal messages to the student, and the student revealed them.
Translation :
I am sending these messages for fear of the damage or attention caused to you by my tweet that you may not want. I support you. As an entertainer, as a minority in a different definition who deals with the public, I feel a great sense of loss in this world where we don't admit differences. Of course, this can't be comparable to your feeling.
I support you shouting squarely that difference isn't wrong. I don't think you are a person who needs other's consolation or concern. You are as strong as much. I wish you stay healthy, and have a warm end of the year.
Many people support his tweet that expresses his belief. However, ILBE, which is famous as an internet community of extreme conservatives, attacked him over this. Before this issue, their behavior of damaging protester's posters and taking pictures with ILBE's finger sign had caused controversy among people. After SHINee's fan club, 'SHINee World,' declared war against ILBE on their website, some of ILBE's members posted inappropriate pictures and captions on the SHINee world site and then uploaded screenshots of them to show off to other ILBE members.
I already wrote about ILBE in my article about Beak Ji Young's lawsuit against netizens. Now people are really interested in this issue, and some of them want the whole SM fandom to fight alongside SHINee' fans against ILBE. There are now many young fans of SHINee on the SHINee World site expressing their worries about what ILBE did.

Kids Choice Awards Red Carpet
The KCAs were a star studded event!
Cody Simpson hosted the orange carpet with the cast of Instant Mom looking better than ever. He rocked a pair of black pants and a white tee, which was of course topped with a black leather jacket. He had a pair of black and white dress shoes that were completely stellar!
Watch the KCAs — Live Stream
He wasn't the only one from Dancing with the Stars — James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd both looked so good! James, 23, rocked a black leather jacket over a black tee with dark red pants and black studded sneaks! Peta, 27, looked stunning in a black and gold pantsuit with cut outs!
A few other favorites were Lea Michele, Kristen Bell, and Kaley Cuoco.
Kaley took it ultra-sexy with a black and white patterned shorts and jacket suit. We've got to say the shoes made the whole outfit — they were black and strappy sandals with thick black anklet clips!

Mariah Carey's twins are to make their recording debut on their mother's next album.
The singer is mum to two-year-old Moroccan and Monroe, with her husband Nick Cannon, and she has revealed the youngsters will be featured in a new song after she recorded their parts on her cell phone.
She tells People.com, "It's a song that I wrote with (songwriter) Bryan-Michael Cox and (producer) Jermaine Dupri. There's a part that Jermaine says on the song that (the kids) loved, and Monroe started to say it. I kept having to get my iPhone and record her. So I have all these different takes of her saying things, singing things. Then I'd be like, 'This is your new ad lib - learn it!' I have to make it fun for her."
Carey's new record, The Art of Letting Go, is due for release in May (14).

The hosts got off to a bad start when Alan White was sent off after 90 seconds but it took Brentford until the 35th minute to make the breakthrough thanks to Alan Bennett's first goal of the season.
A brace from Billy Clarke, the Ipswich striker who has now scored 18 goals during loan spells at three different clubs this season, all but sealed the result and ensured that Pawel Abbott's goal on the hour mark was nothing more than a consolation.
Brentford manager Andy Scott, completing his first full season in charge, said: "It's massive for the club financially and will be great for the players to meet teams like Charlton and Southampton next season."
They are now four points clear of second-placed Wycombe who could only draw 1-1 at Port Vale.
Lee Collins scored for the hosts shortly after the hour mark but Lee Sawyer rescued a point for Wycombe 10 minutes from time.
Wycombe now need just a point next week to secure automatic promotion as they are three points clear of fourth-placed Bury who could only record a goalless draw at Gillingham.
Port Vale manager Dean Glover was ushered away from Vale Park to escape a protest from unhappy Vale supporters.
Around 100 fans staged a demonstration after the final whistle, asking for Glover to resign from his position.
The 45-year-old has been trying to prove himself to the fans - he was the unpopular choice to replace Lee Sinnott as the Vale manager in October 2008.
Glover's son Danny was also escorted away via an alternative route.
Vale are 19th in League Two, but could finish as low as 21st if results go against them on the final day.
A defeat at Barnet would see the current team set an unwanted record - for the lowest amount of points that Vale have collected in a season in the bottom tier of the Football League.
Exeter remain in third spot after they drew 2-2 against Morecambe to end their opponents' promotion hopes.
The visitors took the lead in the ninth minute through Stewart Drummond but goals from Dean Moxey and Ryan Harley in the first eight minutes of the second half appeared to have given Exeter all three points until Drummond pounced again 10 minutes from time.
Rochdale sealed their place in the play-offs with a 1-1 draw at Luton, Adam Rundle's second-half effort cancelling out Tom Craddock's 33rd-minute penalty.
Dagenham and Redbridge now have the edge in the race for the final play-off berth after they beat Notts County 3-0.
Sam Saunders fired the visitors ahead in the 34th minute and Matt Ritchie added a second 10 minutes later before doubling his tally two minute from time.
Dagenham are now two points clear of Shrewsbury who were held to a goalless draw by Lincoln City.
At the other end of the table, Chester have been all but relegated after they drew 2-2 at Aldershot.
The visitors needed three points to keep alive their hopes of survival and they got off to a good start when Ryan Lowe put them ahead from the spot in the second minute but a Kirk Hudson brace gave Aldershot the lead.
Lloyd Ellans equalised shortly after the hour mark on his debut but Chester could not find the winner and are now three points behind Grimsby with a vastly inferior goal difference.
That will be a small comfort to Grimsby who endured a nightmare day at Bournemouth where they lost 2-1.
Nathan Jarman put the visitors in front four minutes from the interval but their joy was shortlived as Danny Boshell was sent off minutes later.
Second-half goals from Liam Feeney and Steve Fletcher gave Bournemouth the lead and Grimsby's misery was complete when Joe Widdowson also saw red three minutes from time.
Elsewhere, goals from Nat Brown and Kristian Dennis either side of Albert Adomah's strike gave Macclesfield a 2-1 victory over Barnet.
Bradford triumphed 3-0 over Rotherham, thanks to a brace from Peter Thorne and a third from Steve Jones, but still have no chance of making the play-offs following Dagenham's win
Meanwhile, Robert Grant scored the only goal of the game five minutes into the second half to give Accrington Stanley a 1-0 win over Chesterfield who also had Jack Lester sent off late on.

Fellows Take On L.A.
Hi there,
Here's a pretty good photo, standing outside County General Hospital, the home of NBC's ER. We were there on Thursday along with visiting the Production Designer of Studio 60, met with the man at the top of the digital world at WB Post Production (and met Clint Eastwood's right hand man), WB International Marketing SVP and VP, the Senior Marketing Administrator for Worldwide Television Marketing for Warner, and the Director of PR for Warner Bros. Interactive.
And yeah, we saw some famous actors as well. (But talking about that would make us tourists, not academics. Oh, and the kids got free Justice League Heroes T-shirts from Warner Interactive.
Last night some of them took in a movie near our hotel, but Peter and I crashed in our rooms.
On Friday we went to Intralink where Kelly Carlton works and learned about movie trailers and commercial production, on to TV Guide, did some quick tourist stuff around Hollywood Blvd, and then headed to Irvine to meet with Kelly McKeone of Strottman. (And dinner in Laguna Beach.) Strottman does the toys (from licensing to design and manufacturing) in the kids meals at fast food places, among other projects.
Saturday we have the meeting room here in the hotel so we will be screening a movie and meeting with folks associated with it as well as a stream of writers, actors, and others. Saturday night we're hosting a mixer with alumni at Lauren Gadd's house.
On Sunday we go to Tribune Studios where Family Feud is produced and tour the sets of Hanna Montana with alumni Troy Senkiewicz. That afternoon we may go to Venice Beach, the canals, and the Santa Monica Pier.
Then Monday we meet with folks at Universal, go to the writers and production staff of CSI (and tour their sets), Tuesday is a tourist day, with time at Universal Theme Park and have dinner with several alumni (among them Erin Cooper who works on the talent agent side of the business) at City Walk that night.
Wednesday is another hectic day, starting over in Pasadena
and then running to CBS Television City's technical
facility, watching a rehearsal of the Price is Right, meeting
with producers and show runners of the Bold and

Bond back in an Aston Martin
BRITISH spy James Bond is set to jump back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin for the upcoming 007 movie, Skyfall, due in cinemas in November.
The iconic British sports car brand confirmed to Drive that Bond will again drive an Aston Martin, as he has in most of the 22 Bond films to date.
Already British media have spotted the world's most famous spy behind the wheel of the legendary Aston Martin DB5 - first used by Sean Connery as Bond in Goldfinger from 1964 - but it appears he could also drive a newer version of the British supercar.
Advertisement: Story continues below
The DB5 was also used in Casino Royale, but it was initially driven by the baddie (and, later, 007) and didn't take part in any stunts, so wasn't fitted with any weapons or spy gadgets.
Speaking at the Geneva motor show, design boss Marek Reichman confirmed to Drive that Bond would be back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin: "yep, there will be an Aston Martin [in Skyfall]".
Which one? Reichman wasn't going into details.
Neither was Aston Martin boss Ulrich Bez.
"I only read the magazines and they say the DB5 will be there," said Bez. "The DB5 is there which is great ... the brand is there."
But will there be a new Aston Martin in Skyfall?
"Definitely not in the film," said Bez with a smile, before leaving the door open by saying "I would not know..."
But it appears likely there may indeed be a new Aston Martin in Skyfall, with Reichman confirming a car will be suitably prepared for Bond.
"I can't say," he said when asked what Aston Martin would be used.
But he did hint it would be given the Q treatment.
"Well it's James Bond, so he needs stuff to do his work!"
While 007 typically drove Bentleys in the original Ian Flemming novels, he has long been associated with Aston Martins in the blockbuster movies.
Aston Martin claims it has never paid to be featured in the films - as other brands such as BMW have previously - instead getting heavily involved in building special stunt cars.
"It's a gentlemanly relationship, it's not a monetary thing," said Reichman. "They don't charge us and we don't charge them."
He said it was a great way to showcase the brand.
"I can't think of a better advert. It's really important [for Aston Martin] - it's a great marriage between two brands."
And it seems Aston won't be the only traditional British brand on show in the film. Craig has also been spotted filming in a Range Rover.

It's easy to complain In 2012/2013 about them not using all the powers but when X-Men was made In 1999/2000 It was an entirely different ballgame.
If you take Rogue In early 1980's when she first joined the X-men+The surban background and Close Relationship with Wolverine of Kitty+Wolverine finding her on his own of Jubilee=The film version of Rogue.
and i'm not talking just about powers... im talking about attitude and how the actor comes off... Rogue RARELY took advantage of her powers in the entire X-men trilogy... it would have been nice for her to stop being apprehensive and use them for battle. and for 3 movies we saw a scared little girl, not a kick-ass confident woman.. which SHE SHOULD HAVE learned to be (hell by the 2nd film even)

In this episode of Journey Jabber, I interview Cam Wears of travelingcanucks.com. Cam and his wife Nicole have led lives chock-full of travel since before they even met each other. After meeting and getting married, they quit their jobs and traveled the world for over a year. These days, they've traded in their backpacks for a home-base in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, but haven't traded in their travel bug. Despite already having to balance their careers, blogging, and being parents, they still manage to get on the road and explore distant lands and different cultures with their baby. Cam tells us all about what it's like to travel when you have children, and even more importantly he reassures us that travel and adventure doesn't have to stop with children. When people say that you won't have any more adventures when you have kids, Cam tells us why those people aren't 100% wrong to say that, but they're also definitely not 100% right either. Personally, that's great news, because I feel like that's all I ever hear from people, and in some ways it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When someone who doesn't have kids (like Becki and I) hear the same thing non-stop from people that do have kids, it becomes hard to ignore, and I think in the end a lot of people do stop traveling and having adventures, just because they've become programmed to expect it. We also talk a little about how the difficulties of traveling with a baby aren't too different from the difficulties of traveling in any other way. You're always going to have to deal with other people on mass-transit - whether that's boats, trains, or planes - you're always going to have uncomfortable situations, and you're always going to have unexpected difficulties that you have to quickly figure out without help from anyone else. In the end, I think it comes down to what we always knew; there's always going to be reasons and excuses to not get out there, to not explore the world around us and see and experience something amazing. When you have kids, it's just another excuse to tack onto the list, and that's exactly why we're putting out these podcasts. To demonstrate that kids, money, time, etc., are not valid reasons for not following your dream of seeing the world. We'll still keep them coming, including podcasts on what to do for insurance when you're traveling, what to do about your cell phone and how you can stay in touch, and so much more. Thanks for listening, and I sincerely hope yoRead more »

Till now, we've only seen adorable idlis land up in the stories created by illustrators for the #6FrameStoryChallenge. So, when we received a mail about a story that featured a monster idli and monster chilld, we were curious to see what they were upto. Find out what happens in Lakshmi Mitter's story about 'Two best friends'.
Why I decided to sign up for the challenge? Well the idea of narrating a story with just pictures and no words fascinated me. I simply had to try it. It was a lot of hard work, but totally worth it. I learnt a lot and it definitely helps me in the experiment I am currently doing in coming up with video stories for children.
(Lakshmi Mitter is a freelance writer by profession. "I used to write articles in economics. But somewhere along, thanks to my kid, I found my passion which is writing stories for children. Some of my stories have been published in Malayalam Manorama Publication- Magic Pot, Deccan Herald and Hindu Young World. Oflate, I have been experimenting with video stories for which I write and illustrate myself. If you would like to take a look the link to my youtube channel titled "Adventures of Ted, the fire engine". The series is based on a fire engine who is terrified of fire! Every week, I put up a new story about Ted's adventures as a fire engine", says Lakshmi. You can also follow her blog.)

Man arrested in Greensboro following May shooting at Myrtle Beach
Man arrested in Greensboro following May shooting at Myrtle Beach
A man wanted in connection with a May shooting in Myrtle Beach was arrested in Greensboro Tuesday morning.
Tristan Datre Payne, 24, was arrested in the area of Guilford College Road and charged with accessory after the fact of attempted murder, said officials with the U.S. Marshals Service.
Myrtle Beach police charged Payne less than a week after a May 24 shooting incident at the Fountain Blue Inn during a week-long bike rally.
Greensboro police charged Payne with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and failure to appear on a misdemeanor drug charge. Payne was found with a stolen handgun and stolen ammunition at the time of his arrest, U.S. Marshals officials said.
Payne's bond was set at $266,000.

Stacey Wilkes took the oath of office Wednesday to represent District 108 in the lower house of the Legislature.
The district lies entirely within Pearl River County, covering parts of Picayune and rural areas.
She will finish the term of Mark Formby, who stepped down in May after Gov. Phil Bryant appointed Formby to the state Workers Compensation Commission.
Wilkes will fill more than half of a four-year term, serving until January 2020.
Special election candidates run without party labels, but Wilkes is clearly a member of the GOP, serving on the state Republican executive committee. She's a former insurance agent who now works as a public relations consultant.

Apple TV, Dubbed iTV, Set To Launch In Three Different Sizes By The End Of 2012 With Siri Integration
Apple will launch an actual TV by the end of 2012 in three distinct sizes, and be offered with your favorite assistant, Siri. This predicted revelation comes from several sources/rumors that have surfaced recently.
We've already heard what Steve had to say about television – "I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it." So maybe now it's all coming together.
According to the reports, the screen sizes for the TVs will be 24-inches (still a mystery), 32-inches, and 55-inches. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, the Apple TVs will have a deep integration with Siri. However, all of this may cost more than you would expect to pay. As stated in the report by Smart House,
"Munster said that the new product was likely to come in a range of sizes, but that they would retail for twice the price of an equivalent set. He claimed the premium would be justified by the comprehensive integration with other Apple services and the cloud, whether that was via either a standard remote, voice control via Apple's new Siri 'personal assistant' or apps on the iPad or iPhone. Use of Siri might allow the device to respond to commands in natural language, such as "Watch Channel 7".
And just in case you were wondering about the name and availability, Gene Munster also reports that the TV would be called iTV and launch in the U.S. in 2012 around the holidays.
So what do you think? Interested or not? Hit up the comments and let us know!

"To be given a bad name is worse than to be born with a bad fate." ~~ Cantonese proverb
What's In A Name? A Guest Post from Tasha Kidd— Declassified from Frager Factor VIP August 2009 and more relevant now more than ever.
While it is true that a good name isn't everything, it is also true that a good name can make or break a company -- especially when that name has built-in mindshare that already owns a position in the minds of target customers. It's one thing to say you're going to be the go-to company for B2B infrastructures. Why not? Everybody is saying that. It's another thing entirely, to own the name. Own the name, and you increase the odds significantly that you are going to dominate the market, (assuming -- and it's a big assumption -- that you have a good product and/or services to start with).
If your name says what you do, then it makes it easier for customers to find you. If your name is meaningful to your product category -- and in fact captures the mindshare position in that category -- then you have a premium chance of dominating that market. Own the mindshare gateways, and you own the profit gateways to your market.
Not only that, but a lot of these companies have a great brand recognition internally, and within their tight investment and industry circles, but mergers and acquisitions and newcomers are making it more and more important to adjust thinking. "Companies that want to stay on top should maintain their brand, but not force everybody to find them through the front door," says consultant Tasha Kidd. "I want to reach people who don't know my brand, but want my products and services. It is simply impossible anymore to advertise in all channels consistently enough to penetrate customers' overloaded thoughts.
I can no longer afford to force them all through the front door. I want them to find me through the back door, and the side doors, and the top and the bottom. If my target customers are already travelling by this highway or that highway, it would be great to own those highways, and have them all lead to my door. We advocate acquiring key domain names that reflect phrases and product/service categories are meaningful to your customers, and having them rollover to your branded website, through C records, or in some cases, doorway sites."
Companies typically choose company names and product names that are cryptic to the rest of the world. (Quidnunc, BSDi, Pelago, Talchion, Vytek, Quova, Finaplex, Transora, Valaran, CMGI, Wiral, Rivio (should have stuck with Biztro!), Naviant, Vocus, eStara, Kamoon, Demantra, Oediv, Prio.NET, Cisco, Teledesic, etc.) At the same time there is a lot of market confusion and market noise. It's getting downright difficult to recall who the players are. As a small business, when I'm sitting down to solve a business problem, I dont' have off the top of my head the names of the companies that provide those services. All I know, where the rubber hits the road, is that I need help with my commerce infrastructures, or I need management training, or whatever the service or product is. I want to focus on solving problems, not on finding my suppliers and vendors!
We are so early in the growth curve, and yet we're floored that a lot of companies who don't get the internet are still making customers recall their cryptic brand in a crowded and confused marketplace, and come in through the front door. It is our firm belief that the companies that are interested in survival and thriving in the coming years need to move early, to more strategic thinking that looks at customer access issues. Survivors and thrivers will be thinking now, before it's too late, "Where are my customers' thought processes already? and let's own those gateways too, and then they can come in any old door they want to, as long as they find us."
We are in a very exciting time, and the possibilities are breathtaking. A good investment in strategic "positioning" now, could reap decades of advantage.
Have a look at the ticker above and the names that command great value.
Try to think about the natural mental pathways of your customer base, when thinking about products and services your company might offer. Make it easy for them to find you, by owning these natural gateways, and having them all lead to you.

Pixies have their kind of fun onstage at the Palace
"It sure looked like you were having fun up there," is the most passive-aggressive backhanded compliment you can pay a band.
It's a time-honored phrase you use when your coworker forces you to go see their Blueshammer cover band because you couldn't come up with an excuse not to go for the thousandth time and when put on the spot about their set, can't think of anything else.
But in an era where storied bands of the last millennium are sitting up in their hospital beds, yanking out the life-support systems, doing reunion tours or officially re-forming for new records—and, in some cases, selling more tickets than they ever did in the first place—the idea of "having fun up there" takes on a whole new meaning. Of course a legendary band you loved as a kid is going to play well. But as a friend of mine recently observed about seeing the Jesus Lizard on their last reunion round eight years ago, watching a band that hates each other, refuses to look at each other, and are going through the motions, isn't nearly as interesting as seeing a local band no one's ever heard of give it their all in a dingy rock club. If the band isn't enjoying themselves, what's the point?
Which brings us to the Pixies. Since their first reunion show at the Fine Line in 2004, they've worked the reunion circuit, lost Kim Deal (again!), eventually became a fully operational band once more, and put out two records in the last three years. But still, I walked into the Palace last night with a little bit of existential trepidation—what does a Pixies show in 2017 mean? And more importantly, how do you tell if a band's having fun when they never looked like they were having that much fun in the first place?
Pixies took the stage to a roaring crowd with an immediate statement of intent. Where set lists in other towns have opted for more immediate deviations into newer material, Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering, and newly permanent bassist Paz Lenchantin launched right into "Wave Of Mutilation," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," and "Gouge Away," all sounding as close to dead-on perfect as a fan would expect.
Throughout the rest of the 33-song, nearly two-hour set, the band mixed older hits and the occasional deeper cut with newer material, leaning heavily on their latest release, Head Carrier, and the crowd—at maximum bouncing-in-one-spot enthusiasm—responded accordingly. There are two types of Pixies fans: Those core few who absorb every single second of every single album with hyper-attached obsessiveness, and those who mostly know the surprisingly numerous hits. Normally the latter would be judged as fair-weather. But it's the songs that everybody knows, much more than the deep cuts, that really make the Pixies, because that's where their songwriting takes conventional forms outside of their comfort zones—dropping instruments abruptly, adding dissonance over rock structures that were standard long before Buddy Holly died.
Sometimes, as displayed last night on deeper cuts and newer material, it doesn't quite click. There's a chunk of their standard surf/garage work (the stuff only the diehards know) that owes more than its fair share—and was frankly done better by—their Boston indie progenitors the Modern Lovers. But what makes the Pixies unique is that they get it right far more often than they don't, and every time they do, the song becomes an instant classic. At their best, the Pixies make memorable hits out of songs that no one else could—and last night, they crushed almost every one.
Still, it took a while for my core question to be answered. The Pixies, and especially Black Francis, have always been aloof, bordering on irascible—call this punk for INTJs. Huge light rigs dominated the stage, bathing the guy born Charles Thompson IV in backlight, casting shadows across his shaven dome so he resembled Brando during his Apocalypse Now monologue. No words were spoken for much of the night—the rare empty space of downtime were filled by noise from Santiago's guitar. For the first half of the set, the only exception was Lenchantin, who's performed in more than her fair share of alt-rock supergroups, and still seemed giddy to be on stage.
But something shifted during "Nimrod's Son," and Frank cracked a smile. Santiago played a solo on his instrument cable. They blew the opening to "Here Comes Your Man," and then laughed about it. The edges seemed to melt. They wrapped the set with the slower (and sorry, fans, but vastly inferior) "UK Surf" version of "Wave Of Mutilation," sort of a tidy bookend to the start of the set. Rather than engage the cliché of leaving the stage, they just gathered at the front for bows and a standing ovation, then grabbed the instruments again for an encore, starting with "All I Think About Now" and then a barn-burning rip through "Debaser," complete with all house lights in the room on.
My question was answered: They were having fun up there. Meticulously plotted, impeccably performed, and exactly the sort of fun you'd expect from the Pixies.

The crowd: Everybody wore glasses. It was like a really hip optometrist convention.
Overheard in the crowd: "It turns out, I'm not as familiar with the Pixies catalog as I thought."
Random notebook dump: "Black Francis looks like L'il Tigger's Cub Scout Den Leader."
Notes on the opener: Indie-folk-punk-avowed mononymous buzz-magnet Mitski opened to a crowd that had already filled much of the floor. Mitski has put out four critically lauded records that showcase a dynamic vocal range and a melding of alt-rock styles that's pretty impressive for someone born after Doolittle came out. Live, however, not enough of this came across. This is unfortunate for such a strong artist who deserves consideration—and has played sold-out shows here—in more intimate settings. Maybe it's a side effect of opening for indie legends. If you're opening for the Pixies, you end up sounding like the sort of band who would open for the Pixies.
