Actress Margo Stilley postponed her planned summer (11) wedding after organising the nuptials became "too much work".
The How to Lose Friends & Alienate People star was set to exchange vows with businessman boyfriend Bruce Cummings in June (11), but the date was pushed back.
And Margo Stilley has now revealed she became overwhelmed by the amount of planning involved for her big day.
She tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "I can't be bothered with getting married. It's too much work. I'm not interested in doing it until I can afford to have someone arrange everything for me.
"All the wedding stuff just gives me such a headache (but)... I'm sure the wedding will happen eventually."

The internationally recognized Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) develops creative, ethical leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As a teaching and learning laboratory created by the State of Illinois, IMSA enrolls academically talented Illinois students (grades 10-12) in its advanced, residential college preparatory program, and it serves thousands of educators and students in Illinois and beyond through innovative instructional programs that foster imagination and inquiry. IMSA also advances education through research, groundbreaking ventures and strategic partnerships.
Growing the State's Supply of Technical and Scientific Leaders
IMSA offers a uniquely challenging education for Illinois students in grades 10 -12 talented in the areas of mathematics and science. Tuition and most room and board expenses are provided by state funds. The 650 students who are enrolled in the three-year residential program participate in a unique approach to learning that is problem-centered, inquiry-based and integrative. Advanced courses in mathematics, science, the arts and humanities emphasize connections across the disciplines.
Research—A Cornerstone Educational Experience
Students are widely recognized for their achievements in research, presentations and academic testing. High-level student research is a cornerstone of IMSA's unique educational experience. Through the Student Inquiry and Research program, students conduct research with master scholars and scientists at more than 100 institutions, including Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, the Field Museum and Loyola Medical Center. They deliver their findings at professional conferences nationwide and abroad.
Admission to the Nation's Top Colleges and Universities
Students reach exceptional levels of achievement. While IMSA students' standardized test scores are among the nation's highest, their college readiness includes more than high scores. Their evidence of deep learning through research projects, mentorships, published studies, and presentations at professional conferences makes them highly attractive candidates to the nation's most selective colleges and universities.
The five Illinois universities that enroll the highest number of IMSA graduates from the classes of 2006-2013 are University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Chicago, The University of Chicago, and Illinois Institute of Technology.
The five out-of-state universities that enroll the highest number of IMSA graduates from the classes of 2006-2013 are Case Western Reserve University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Saint Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis, and Carnegie Mellon University.
Alumni—A Growing Force in Illinois and Beyond
IMSA alumni include nearly 6,000 graduates with 99.5% having enrolled in college. Nearly 2/3 earn degrees in either science or mathematics which is significantly higher than the population at large and more than four times higher among women. The IMSA approach to learning—problem-centered, inquiry-based and integrative—has prepared graduates to be
decidedly different learners.
Many graduates are making strong contributions in their fields and to society. These leaders are conducting research in ecology, evolutionary biology, infectious diseases and astronomy. They work for multi-national Fortune 500 companies as consultants in E-commerce and as design engineers. They fly jets for the United States Air Force and Navy. They contribute to the field of medicine by improving detection devices for the diagnosis of cancer and lead breakthroughs in neurological disorders. They are business leaders, engineers, physics and chemistry teachers. They are scientists at national laboratories and leaders in education at Harvard, MIT and other prestigious universities. Earlier this year, an IMSA alumna from Englewood in Chicago was awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.
As entrepreneurs, they are improving the way we live, learn and work. IMSA alumni were part of the start-up teams that created Netscape, PayPal and YouTube. Alumni are fulfilling IMSA's Promise to Illinois—using their talents and compassion to advance the human condition. An IMSA class of 2012 graduate was named a "20 Under 20" Thiel Fellow and will receive $100,000 for the next two years to start a company.
Faculty—Among the Nation's Best
IMSA faculty members include Presidential Award winners, 22.6% are National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certified faculty, distinguished authors and fellowship recipients. All faculty have advanced degrees, with 50.9% holding doctorate degrees. In 1998, Nobel Laureate Dr. Leon Lederman became the inaugural Resident Scholar at IMSA.
Stimulating Excellence in Mathematics, Science and Technology in Illinois Schools
IMSA delivers statewide professional development and enrichment programs to Illinois teachers and students. The Academy works with teachers in school districts to focus on professional development in mathematics, science and technology curriculum, instructional methods, standards alignment and measurement of results. IMSA delivers enrichment programs to stimulate the interest, motivation and achievement of elementary, middle school and high school students in mathematics, science and technology. Programs are held on IMSA's Aurora campus, at its Chicago and Metro East field offices, at locations throughout Illinois and online.
Bringing Recognition to Illinois
Since it was founded in 1985, the Academy has been uniting the best knowledge of how people learn with input from experts in mathematics, science, technology and other fields. IMSA's models of teaching and learning are recognized nationally and abroad. Delegations of educators from Illinois, other states and countries including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand come to IMSA to study curriculum and instruction models.
IMSA was named the winner of the 2009 Intel Schools of Distinction Star Innovator Award. Each year, only one educational institution in the nation is the recipient of this prestigious recognition. In 2013 an IMSA senior was named an Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) semifinalist in the Annual Intel Science Search. Also in 2013 the IMSA Scholastic Bowl Team won their third straight IHSA State Championship and an IMSA Team received the highest ranking possible in the 15th annual international High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM).
IMSA has been profiled by Wired.com, CNN, Nature journal, NBC-TV's Dateline and the New York Times to name a few. The Wall Street Journal and Worth Magazine named IMSA among the top public college prep programs in the nation for placing graduates in Ivy League and other highly selective universities. Newsweek named IMSA in its list of top "public elite" secondary educational institutions in the nation.

Dear Diary:
My earphones were in and music was blaring, so I didn't hear the man in front of me. But could see he was offering me something.
This being New York, I assumed he was trying to sell me something, so I ignored him and continued my search.
But when he persisted, I looked up to say, "No thanks," and saw a regular man, trying to offer me a pen.
Sorry, buddy.

Ever have the chance to ride jet boats and make kushari in summer school?
During a recent field trip, Upward Bound Summer Academy students visited the Marion Polk Foodshare where Chef Steve Morton taught them how to forage in a garden, access a food box and prepare a healthy meal.
"It was a great learning experience," says Chemeketa's Upward Bound director Susan McCaffrey. "Now students can return to the Foodshare to gain community service credit for their high school graduation requirements or to get a food box for their families."
This year, 22 high school students are participating in Chemeketa's Upward Bound Summer Academy, a six-week program that provides participants high school creditfor studying literature and math during the summer. In addition, students benefit from learning what it's like to take classes at a college campus, keeping or improving their skills over the summer and experiencing learning outside of the classroom.
From team-building BBQs, college tours, jet boats and water parks, students will enjoy a number of Friday field trips to balance their summer studies. This year's Summer Academy will culminate in a four-day adventure to Multnomah Falls, Hood River, The Dalles, Eastern Oregon University (EOU), Bridge of the Gods and the Bonneville Dam. Students will tour the EOU campus and gain a first-hand experience of the landmarks and artifacts they are learning about in class.
"We integrate cultural events in the program to show students places and activities that relate to their learning." says Susan. "We take them places they probably have never seen. This helps them when they go to college because they've been encouraged to take advantage of student activities offered at college campuses."
Chemeketa's Upward Bound program serves students from Woodburn Academy of International Studies, North Salem High School and Santiam High School. Students interested in applying to be a part of the Upward Bound program can visit Chemeketa's Upward Bound website for more information or contact Susan McCaffrey 503.589.7620.

Demi Wright, a 22-year-old girl from the UK, died after being reportedly misdiagnosed by doctors who initially mistook her aggressive cancer for pregnancy.
Demi died on February 23rd after a brief battle with the disease. Demi's father described her to the Daily-Gazette as having a happy and cheerful soul.
He also told the newspaper, "She didn't have a bad bone in her body. She had an infectious, beautiful smile and it showed her personality off."
As a child, Demi had a benign tumor in her liver and had checkups on it into her teenage years.
Demi started experiencing pains in her side and when she went to the doctor to have it checked out, they found that she was emitting a specific hormone normally emitted during pregnancy – human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). The doctors then scheduled Demi for an ultrasound thinking she may be pregnant.
But, although HCG is common in pregnant women, it is also a hormone than can increase if there is cancer in the body, most commonly liver or ovarian cancer.
During the ultrasound, the medical staff found no baby, so they decided to perform laparoscopic surgery for a more in depth look at what might be going on. They then discovered that Demi had a tumor on her liver and cancer had already spread throughout her body.
Her father told Metro UK that she never cried, even after learning that her cancer was terminal.
Demi died peacefully three weeks later. Her boyfriend told the Daily-Gazette that he feels robbed. He said, "It needs to be stressed how much courage she had. She's our inspiration now."
Her family is now raising money on a JustGiving page for Cancer Research UK in Demi's honor.

I have 3 real Slingerland 14x18 bop kits and 12x16 and 12x18 marching conversions that are both still in the project phase. Doesn't get any better than Slingerland in my opinion, tone for days! Both of the linked kits are great and will make someone very happy.
I'll take that 12x16 off your hands. Must be a real burden having that around.

Man,those Slingy's look nice. Someday, I'd really like to compare my Canopus RFMs with the Slingerland--and Rogers for that matter.

Alumni Stories
Lee Greene, Co-Founder at Kaipule
American, Class of 2015>>
Before I came to the Sofaer International MBA at the Tel Aviv University in Israel, I was a CPA (certified accountant) working a job that I did not enjoy in a career where I really had no future in. So, I decided that I needed a change.
I came to Israel to create a new path for myself and the Sofaer International MBA program was the perfect way to start. I was excited to get involved in the innovation community being developed in Tel Aviv and the Sofaer program acted as a gateway to that community.
It was during this program that I learned the skills necessary to take my entrepreneurial spirit and apply it to real world situations. I formed a partnership with a Chinese student in the MBA program and we built our Mandarin language technology database, Kaipule, which connects the Israel innovation community and Chinese capital investors.
We are now accepting registrations for all start-ups and established technology companies in Israel looking to get exposure to Chinese investors and business leaders.

A few weeks ago, RealVision ENB released another YouTube video showcasing Skyrim's amazing graphics capabilities.
It's hard to believe that Skyrim is fast approaching three years old. Time goes by fast, and a lot has happened in the gaming industry since the hit RPG was first released — namely the introduction of next-gen consoles.
Despite the fact that Skyrim wasn't designed for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the game still looks solid on all platforms. When modders work their PC magic on Skyrim though, the game looks ridiculously amazing.
RELATED: Do People Still Play Skyrim? Yes, And Here's Why
Skyrim Graphics
To say that mods like RealVision ENB tweak Skyrim's graphics is an understatement. As shown in the latest YouTube video posted by RealVision's creator, Skyrim looks every bit as good (or better) than next-gen. In total, RealVision has posted six videos to-date, each showing Skyrim in all its enhanced glory. Links to the videos can be found on RealVision's NexusMods page.
System Requirements
The beautiful game video shown above was captured on a PC rocking a top shelf graphics card (ASUS GTX 780 OC 3GB). That being said, RealVision lists the minimum system requirements at a more modest level:
Minimum System Requirements
Intel Core i5 3 GHz
NVidia GTX 660 Ti 2GB
(or similar from AMD)
RELATED: The Skyrim PC Requirements Finally Announced
As stunning as these graphics look, the actual installation of RealVision ENB is not for the faint of heart, and dedicated gamers will need to follow a series of steps (and additional mod installations) to get the amazing Skyrim graphics looking just right. If you have the aptitude, you might consider following the instruction guidelines here. If not, you can always join the Mage's College in Winterhold (in the end it might be easier with less frustration).

CEB reached its conservative valuation of 63.
My projection for CEB's 2012 earnings is at 6.27 which translates to 62.70 should it be valued at 10x PE ratio. PAL is the only comparable publicly listed airline company in PSE so we could not determine on what multiple should CEB trade. Conservative investors may stick to 10x PE ratio while risk takers can gamble for a 15x PE ratio.
I like FGEN. This is a stock that I consider to be the most conservative. Conservative because buying this stock is like seeing the future. Earnings are very predictable and immune to economic recession. A stock I can comfortably buy even at 23.50.:)
I failed to add this in my own portfolio though. The reason is that I was in CHIB when FGEN's major business developments happened. Although FGEN's earnings are predictable, CHIB's short term capital gains are much more predictable (at that time).
On hindsight I should have bought FGEN!lol
Read about FGEN here.
A stock I bought for speculation.:)
Recent hint on what GLO would do is disclosed here:
Part of the news that alarmed me was the portion where the debt is convertible to equity! If that would be true then LPZ valuation will fall at the lowest end of our valuation model (6.51).
Of course, I've done my due diligence and the financial obligations that GLO are buying are NOT* convertible to equity!
*I hope I did not miss such an important fact!

When someone has sexual relations of any sort with a person that they don't want a relationship with even though they know that he/she will be a stalker and won't leave them alone for years. They will call your cell phone over and over even after you tell them that it is the wrong number. Sends you text messages on every holiday, and peeks in your bedroom window every night.
Barry did some stalker fucking about 2 yrs ago. Nicole still ain't left him alone. All she wants Barry to do is put it in her butt once a week or so. Barry said, I would love to do that for you , however, that would mean that I am being unfaithful to my true love Wanda......., But here's the SHOCKER, Baby!!!

Wisconsin's self-proclaimed lemon law king has sued direct-order car maker Tesla over a sedan that he says won't run right.
Attorney Vince Megna filed the lawsuit Monday in Milwaukee. It alleges Robert Montgomery of Franklin had the 2013 SP Sedan delivered in March 2013. The car cost $94,777 plus another $4,738 in Wisconsin sales tax.
The lawsuit alleges the car was under warranty but was out of service for more than 30 days to repair various problems.
Wisconsin's lemon law requires manufacturers to repair a warranty-covered defect after four tries in a year or provide a timely refund or replacement. Montgomery would be eligible for double damages under the law.
A Tesla spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to an email Monday.

In opposition to the message in the video, for each of those individuals that make up a species....it is too late.
Charles Bowden, in his book titled "Some of the Dead are still Breathing" wrote:
I believe the politics of the right and left matter not to the bird on the wing or the trees dying on the hillsides. (p. 12)We seem to be unalterably committed to increasing the numbers of human animals...at the expense of every other life form. (image source)
source estimates the infertility "industry" annually generates about 2 billion dollars in the United States. This is associated only with the small percentage (10 to 15%) of people who have some sort of difficulty reproducing. Contrast this with the annual income of PETA (considered to be the largest animal rights organization in the world) which is 35 million dollars.
For every dollar PETA has to promote animal rights (and I am aware of the controversies re PETA policies and practices and am ignoring them here for illustrative purposes) almost 60 dollars are spent to make more people by the 10 or 15% that have trouble reproducing. And rest assured there is most certainly a direct correlation between the number of people and the demise of the rest of nature.
Realize I am only referencing one "industry", think about all the other "industries" whose practices rely on directly or as "collateral damage" the despoiling of the environment or the killing or enslavement of sentient beings or the increase of the number of humans. Logging, animal farming, automobiles, weapons, power generation, construction and on and on and on. There is no contest from a financial resource perspective.
Something is seriously wrong.....what the hell are we doing?

No joy there either. :D My phone is very slow over the Wi-fi and it is quicker to resort to 3G. I have also noticed msnmessenger is now thru "msnLIve" instead of a separate program, Is this correct? Thanks all in advance for your help. Chris :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Resident Evil 6 to Shoot This Fall
The longest-running, and most successful, video-game film franchise in history will begin shooting its next installment this fall. While talking to TheStar.com about his current film Pompeii, writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson confirmed a general start date for Resident Evil 6, and talked a little about zombies.
"As a teenager I used to love zombie flicks," he said. "They were very, very popular with directors like [George A.] Romero and [Lucio] Fulci. That's one of the reasons I created the first Resident Evil; I looked at the genre and thought, 'Wow, I used to love this stuff and nobody had made a zombie film for over a decade,' so I decided to make one. It ended up being the first in a whole slew of undead films.
"I think the undead genre really plays to primal human fears. That kind of stuff never goes out of fashion. The themes of a zombie story are always good; they make for good filmmaking."
In March, when Anderson and star Milla Jovovich signed on for the sixth film, we noted that it just might be the final installment, as the writer/director intended to tell a second trilogy. The series stars Jovovich as Alice, a woman battling the evil, zombie-creating Umbrella Corporation.
At this point, the release date is fairly up in the air. As SuperHeroHype points out, studio Screen Gems gave the film a Sept. 12, 2014 release date, while Jovovich recently said she "imagined" the film would open in 2015. Our money's on the studio having a better idea, but as we've seen, these things are pretty fluid.

It is one of the paradoxes of the Bush administration that the senior official whose face is among the most recognized around the world, and who is consistently ranked as the most popular at home, is perhaps the least known. Condoleezza Rice has regularly enjoyed poll numbers 20 points higher than those of the man she serves; in 2006 she topped an Esquire survey of the women men would most like to take as a date to a dinner party, ahead of Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston. Yet, while most Americans probably have a good sense of what Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell have stood for, not many could confidently set out the beliefs of the current secretary of state. She is highly visible, speaks often and yet is strangely enigmatic.
"Twice as Good," by Marcus Mabry, the chief of correspondents for Newsweek, works hard to solve the Rice puzzle. It digs deep into the story of her family, including her slave ancestors, and the hugely influential figure of her father, the Rev. John Rice. We follow the family's journey from segregation in Alabama to educational opportunity in Colorado and finally to California. We learn much — with a detail uncommon in a political biography — of her almost frighteningly intense childhood.
An only child, Rice was groomed for greatness from birth. Initially home-schooled, the 4-year-old Condi would, Mabry reports, "put on her coat, leave her front door, walk to the end of the walk and then turn around and come back inside the house." When she wasn't studying, she would practice the piano for hours on end: she could read music before she could read. She didn't fidget; she didn't seem to need to go to the bathroom like other children. Her mother would let her play with the children across the street only if their doors were open and she could see her daughter at all times. Mrs. Rice once told a friend she would have no other children because she couldn't take "this love" from Condoleezza.
Mabry supplies details like these for every chapter of his subject's life. He tells us of her weakness for athletic men, especially "bad boy" types, and of the succession of football players she dated in college (though Rice has succeeded in keeping her later private life private). He charts her academic career, including her rocky spell as the youngest-ever provost of Stanford University, appointed at just 38, and of her earlier stint as a Soviet specialist on the first George Bush's National Security Council. Yet still one feels oddly estranged from her.
That is not because Mabry has failed to get to the heart of Condoleezza Rice. Rather, it is because of the chilly steel he finds there. His search for vulnerabilities or doubt reveals only a cold, unwavering self-discipline. One of the book's most telling moments comes when the 17-year-old Rice realizes, after surrendering her childhood to the goal of becoming a concert pianist, that she is not, after all, good enough. Her teacher ruled that while "technically competent ... she was too detached emotionally to be a great pianist." She needed "disciplined abandon": she had the discipline all right, she just couldn't let herself go. Yet even this major blow barely troubles her. She simply decides to pursue another goal.Continue reading the main story
All of this is connected inseparably with race. Mabry, himself African-American and sharply alive to even the subtlest distinctions between different black experiences, shows that Rice inherited her father's view of racism: don't deny it, but don't be defined by it. Opposed to the activism of Martin Luther King, John Rice saw individual effort, rather than collective action, as the path to black empowerment: be twice as good, and you can make it. Individual willpower became his daughter's touchstone. She believes in will, and she certainly believes in power.
These insights help make sense of what is perhaps the most crucial period of Rice's career, when she served as Bush's first-term national security adviser. Mabry shows how several key Rice traits meshed with the failings of the rest of the Bush team, to disastrous effect. A group of national security principals that (bar Powell) was consumed with the hubristic determination to invade Iraq despite multiple warnings of calamitous results needed to hear a contrary voice. But Rice, like them, had an iron faith in her own beliefs. While the White House disdained those from what one official once notably called the "reality-based community," so Rice had learned in segregated Birmingham to believe "that what mattered was what you and your self-defined society believed, because the world beyond was often wrong in its most critical judgments." Back then the cocoon was the Rice family and its immediate circle; now it was the Bush administration. But in each case, Condi shut out what she did not want to hear.
If she was temperamentally ill-equipped to bring to the security council the skepticism so desperately required in that prewar period, her relationship with the president ensured she would never play the role of dissenter. Mabry describes the bonding of Bush and Rice before the 2000 campaign as nothing less than a courtship. The now legendary story of her Freudian slip at a Washington dinner party when she referred to the president as "my husb-" has stuck partly because it seems to convey some emotional truth. Even Rice's own friends speak of a woman whose usual good judgment deserts her when it comes to Bush: "She cannot say no to that guy."
It is surely this bond that explains the ideological gymnastics that make Rice so hard to pin down. She was, first, a realist, then a neoconservative enabler as Bush's national security adviser and now a pragmatic cryptorealist as secretary of state (pushing for talks with Iran, for example). The obvious explanation for her changing course is her loyalty to the president. Mabry is kinder, suggesting that her conversion to the necessity of democratic transformation of the Middle East was genuine: she was "a realist who had been mugged by 9/11."
Even if sincere, Rice emerges as badly flawed. She presided over a dysfunctional security apparatus, never able to pull together the warring Defense and State Departments and regularly outmaneuvered by Rumsfeld. It's also clear that she ignored repeated warnings of both the seriousness of the Qaeda threat and the risks of an Iraq invasion. The former arms inspector David Kay calls her the worst national security adviser since the office was created, and the verdict seems harsh but not wholly unwarranted.
Rice's defense would rest on her extraordinary presentational skills, her fluency and poise under inquisitorial fire. So what if she is more a synthesizer of others' ideas than an original thinker, runs this logic; she has a sure political touch. Except even that is in doubt. Caught shopping for shoes in New York as the corpses floated in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Rice explained that "I didn't think about my role as a visible African-American national figure. I just didn't think about it." Given what we know of her upbringing, that isn't psychologically surprising — but it showed a political tin ear.
None of this would matter much if Mabry's subject were merely a departing secretary of state. But it's plain, even from the jacket photo of a 9-year-old Rice posing outside the White House, that this is a book about a woman who just might become president. She certainly has the right profile for it: moderate on abortion and gay rights, firm on guns, a Californian, Rice could someday be the Schwarzenegger Republican the party is looking for. There is no doubt that she has the self-discipline and confidence. She has already come so far; who would bet against her going farther?Continue reading the main story

When I was leaving Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen on Friday night, I ran into Andy Ticer on the front steps. It's always a pleasure to talk with the chef after a great meal, especially one as charming and friendly as Andy. He was pumped up about the restaurant's new venture, a lunch through late-night pizzeria located nearby.
"See that blue building?" he asked, pointing across the street. "We've already got the sign up. We're calling it Hog & Hominy."
In the mid 1800s, Tennessee was known as the "Hog and Hominy" state, thanks to its huge production of hogs and corn. The pizzeria's name salutes both the chefs' home state and their celebrated love of pig, a food prominently featured on the menu at Andrew Michael.
While some version of pork is sure to be served at the pizzeria, the specifics of the menu are still in the making. But this is for sure: the food at Hog & Hominy will be more rustic, Dicer said. "There will be pizza in a stone oven, and we will probably have pasta. But it won't be boiled. It will be baked like baked zita."
The restaurant's renovation is waiting on building permits, but Ticer and partner Michael Hudman hope to open the pizzeria by the first of the year. East Memphis is ready for more late-night options, Ticer said: "We think East Memphis needs a place where people can hang out after a Grizzlies game, but be close to home."
In the meantime, never hesitate to stop by Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, my new favorite
restaurant. Tony and I were knocked out by our handmade pasta (corn tortellini stuffed with duck confit and gnocchi stuffed with gargonzola) and my martini's pimento olive was frozen in a cube of ice. Equally impressive was the restaurant's acorn salad. It gave me hope for the bowl of winter squash waiting at home on my kitchen counter. Even my husband (who is very grumpy about our CSA squash) reluctantly agreed that this combination was delicious: larges slices of baked skins-on squash, fresh arugula, red onion, green apple, and yogurt vinaigrette.

WILLIAM J. NEWMAN et al. v. AVON PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION et al., SC 18106/18107
Judicial District of Hartford
Zoning; Whether Zoning Commission Could Rely on its Historical Interpretation of Regulation Setting Forth Maximum Density Requirements for Certain Residential Lots; Whether Regulation Should Have Been Interpreted in Favor of Landowners Directly Affected By It. Mary Markow and Eric R. Secor, Jr., applied to the Avon planning and zoning commission for permission to subdivide their four-acre parcel of property into two two-acre lots. The parcel was located in a RU-2A zone, and according to section IV, 4.5 of the town's zoning regulations, any parcel located in a RU-2A zone that is developed for residential use must have a maximum density of .3 single family units per acre. In approving the subdivision application, the commission relied on a traditional practice of going back to the "parent" parcel within which the property to be re-subdivided existed in 1957, when the subdivision regulations were adopted. In 1957, the subject property was part of a lot known as the "Alsop Homestead." Thirty-four acres of the Alsop Homestead were located in Avon, and the commission considered this acreage as the parent parcel. The commission then applied the density formula of .3 units per acre, taking into consideration the entire parent parcel, and concluded that the total number of lots that could be created from the acreage would be thirty-four times .3, or 10.2 lots. It further determined that since the parent parcel had already been subdivided into eight parcels, two more lots could be created from the parent parcel. Hence, it essentially concluded that the excess acreage of the remaining lots in the parent parcel permitted the re-subdivision of the subject property. Several neighboring property owners appealed from the commission's ruling, arguing that section IV, 4.5 requires a minimum of 3.33 acres for a single family dwelling. In sustaining the neighbors' appeal, the trial court found that the commission improperly relied on its historical practice of going back to the parent parcel in determining whether the proposed subdivision application satisfied the density requirements of section IV, 4.5. It determined that nothing in the written zoning or subdivision regulations supported the commission's conclusion that the term "parcel" set forth in section IV, 4.5 refers to a parent parcel. It also determined that "prospective or present owners of nearby lots should not be required to rely on a historical formula for calculating density, not set forth in some regulation available to the public and not ascertainable without some esoteric search into historic commission procedures, which would not yield any written authority, but only the oral testimony of commission staff or members." The trial court therefore voided the commission's ruling. Markow and Secor now appeal from the judgment of the trial court, arguing that the court improperly concluded that the commission could not rely on its historical interpretation of the word "parcel" contained in section IV, 4.5 in determining whether their subdivision application satisfied the requisite density requirements. The commission has also appealed and raises a similar argument. The commission further argues that the court should have construed the arguably vague density regulation in favor of Markow and Secor rather than deferring to the interests of their neighbors.

The remarkably rich natural environment of Malaysia attracts the interest of both industry and the environmental community. Managing Natural Wealth analyzes major natural resource and environmental policy issues in the country during the 1970s and 1980s-a period of profound socioeconomic change, rapid depletion of natural resources, and the emergence of serious problems with pollution.
Managing Natural Wealth is an important update to Environment and Development in a Resource-Rich Economy: Malaysia under the New Economic Policy. First published in hardcover in 1997, this pathbreaking book emphasized economics as a source for analyzing the issues involved in environmental and natural resource management in developing countries. The access that Jeffrey Vincent and Rozali Mohamed Ali and the contributing authors had to unpublished data and key decisionmakers made their account an essential reference for policymakers and researchers in Malaysia and throughout the world. Managing Natural Wealth includes a review of key developments since the 1990s by S. Robert Aiken and Colin H. Leigh, two geographers with a long-standing interest in environmental change in Malaysia and an understanding of the institutional context of its environmental policy that is unmatched in the scholarly community.
The authors achieve an admirable balance between the use of relatively simple economic models, lucidly explained, and a thorough analysis of institutions and policies, all set in historical context... Essential reading for those concerned with the development of the Malaysian economy and its impact on the environment. - Rob Cramb, Asian Studies Review, about the original edition, Environment and Development in a Resource-Rich Economy"

The 2008 financial for BMW Motorrad are in, and the verdict is CH-CHING! Despite what the economies around the world are saying, BMW sold 101,685 bikes in 2008, just .8% off of last year's numbers. Continue reading to see the full sales breakdown, and win a free kitten.
Interestingly, BMW's sales were up over 9% in the month of December compared to last year's numbers, which gives insight into how the company has been weathering the financial storm. In fact, the bulk of BMW's growth came in the second half of 2008. Despite the general decline of the motorcycle market, BMW Motorrad has grown in some European markets such as Italy, France, Great Britain/Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and Poland as well as in South America and South Africa.
In Germany, the largest market for BMW Motorrad, sales were down by 17.9%. However despite this fall, BMW maintained its position as market leader is the whole market. The German market shrunk by 8% in 2008, clearly taking things on the nose. As in 2007, Italy remains the second largest market for BMW Motorrad. BMW grew by over 11% in Italy, while the industry as a whole constricted by 8.6%. The U.S. market, third by volume, fell by 4.6%. BMW was able to make a small improvement in the US by claiming 1.8% over 2007's 1.7% of total US market share.
The rest of the worldwide numbers are the following:
Spain – 20.4% 10,152 units
(2007: 10,384 units) 9.0%
(2007: 7.3%)
France – 3.0% 8,019 units
(2007: 7,590 units) 7.7%
(2007: 7.1%)
UK – 5.8% 5,850 units
(2007: 5,100 units) 8.3%
(2007: 6.8%)
South Africa – 8.1% 3,313 units
(2007: 2,762 units) 12.8%
(2007: 9.8%)
The best-selling model in 2008 was the R 1200 GS (22,845 units) followed by the model R 1200 GS Adventure (12,460 units). In third place, the R 1200 RT Touring with 11,001 registrations.
The new models of the family F, available from March 2008 and on (since the beginning of 2008 in overseas markets), are among the best-selling models in the BMW lines. The F 800 GS (4th in sales) had 10,261 in sales, while the F 650 GS (5th in sales) had 9,644 in sales.
Husqvarna Motorcycles, owned by BMW Motorrad, has grown by almost one third in 2008. Husqvarna, the oldest motorcycle brand in the world has reached 13,511 in motorcycle sales in its first year after its acquisition by BMW. This growth was mainly driven by overseas markets.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
This camera is in everybody's holiday gift guide because it's a super chic and easy to use. From a photographer's standpoint, it's more of an accessory than a real piece of equipment, but it's worth buying if you already have a solid digital camera.
I love these glasses. I always have and I think they are totally fabulous. They're somewhere in the Cat Eye family, if not a direct descendant of it. Anyway, I am really sick of people finally figuring out that these are cool to wear. I was wearing those round guys like two years ago and have bought maybe 30 pairs of them, and the only reason I haven't made the switch to sweet Norma's future-babe Square Cat-Eye glasses is because I don't have the bills yet.
First, let us acknowledge the fact that it is a guy in a suit shirt holding this mirror, which makes me imagine that cartoon Dilbert putting on lipstick. That said, I love this little thingy. It's cute, funny and practical. Everything I look for in a man, but in a mirror!
The 20 Foot Animatronic Triceratops, $350,000
Alright, not really an accessory, but, damn I have wanted this forEVER. What would I do with this? I would turn it on when I had friends over or when I was a little lonely (so, always) and listen to her make funny roaring noises while hanging around my GIANT apartment (because I assume that when I DO purchase the Hammacher Schlemmer dinosaur for $350,000 I will already have purchased a grossly large apartment somewhere in New York City to put her and all my other robots).
I don't even want to know how much this hat is. It's Balenciaga so it probably costs as much as the dinosaur. Who doesn't want to look like Darth Vader walking through a snow covered sidewalk? You can't turn your head or see in it and that's why I love it (I also like it because I can't afford it, but thats a whole other pathology). Sometimes you have to throw practicality to the sharks and dress up like a beetle. And THAT'S fashion.
The Story of O, Pauline Réage, $9.95
OK, I already have this book and I am reading it now, but I definitely want to buy it for someone this holiday season. If you have read it you KNOW what I am talking about. If you haven't read it and you are into violent, sadomasochistic, sex-slave love stories then buy this now, take it home and read it alone, because you won't be able to help yourself.
Who needs a lamp when the bulb is so fantastically designed?
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Tarred, $13
I have been told by a certain xoMad that I've got DSLs and I think black lips would be make them look extra sexy in a new (scary) way! Oh, did I mention that OCC makeup is vegan and cruelty free?! I'd be more than happy to tag a D with this Tar.
Factron Quattro for iPhone 4, $257
This thing is pretty nerdy if you ask me. HOWEVER, it's really swanky in an annoying bachelor pad kinda way. I have always wanted to have an iPhone case that has interchangeable lenses. Let's take the impulsivity out of iPhone photos and crank up the quality, shall we?
I am a big fan of black. It's pretty much all that I wear. If I try to leave my apartment wearing anything with primary colors I get bounced back to my room by this force field of insecurities and I have to change to something of a more neutral tone. I've got a whole wishlist of things to compliment my all-black-everything. Check it out!
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
The holidays always start with the best intentions, but they might end in disaster.
Winter is a great time of year to do a bit of "spring" cleaning.
The more comfortable I became inside the cockpit, the more confident I felt out in the world.
If the thought of holiday travel gives you anxiety, just wait until you hear that it's happening during Mercury Retrograde this year.
