It happens more often than people think: Dad is sick and hasn't seen his kids for years…his new wife encourages him to update his Will to reflect his new marriage status and love. Dad eventually dies and the children are less than happy to find out that their new Stepmom is the sole beneficiary of their Dad's estate. Feeling robbed and outraged, they want to contest the new Will. Is

The advantage of a small business forming an LLC is that it creates a protection barrier between the small business owner and the business. If the business is sued and the LLC has been properly maintained, then the business owner's personal assets will be protected from the lawsuit. The lawsuit will only be able to claim damages against the assets in the LLC, and not the owner's bank accounts, properties,

Aerogarden Thai Holy Basil and Italian Basil Update Day 35 and 45
My Aerogarden is on fiyahhhh!!!
Meaning it's doing really well.
We just passed day 45 (above) and I've already taken two harvests of the Italian basil.
The Thai holy basil was going a bit slow and finally caught up!
Here is how the Thai holy basil and Italian sweet basil looked at day 35
Earlier this week I made pesto with the Italian basil.
I was never really a fan of pesto, but I think it's because I've never been successful making it at home. In the past, I've used the pre-grated cheese.
And I know now that that was a factor.
The pesto from this week was killer and easy to make.
I am now officially a fan of basil pesto????
I guess I didn't know what I was missing.
The premade stuff and what I've had in restaurants doesn't even come close to this.
Have you made your own basil before? If so, what do you put in it?
Here is my recipe – Classic Basil Pesto with Pine Nuts and Cheese
Curious about the Aerogarden? Read my review of it here: Aerogarden Ultra LED Review and Tips
I also have a Youtube Indoor Hydroponic Gardening playlist with more videos on how to setup your own hydroponic system as well if you like to DIY!

John Kasich and his PAC "new Day for America" received a significant donation which has raised major eyebrows among the conservatives as he continues to remain in the Republican race.
The Soros fund managers Stanley Druckenmiller and Scott Bessent donated a total of $488,375 to the governor in what they referred to as small money fund. This is according to the records which have been provided by the Federal Elections Commission.
George Soros, who had already spent billions of dollars in coming up and funding far left organizations such as ACORN, MoveOn.Org, and the countless pro-amnesty groups. After Forbes billionaire George Soros had already donated an incalculable amount of money to the Congressional Democrats, he went ahead to hand a pro-Hillary Clinton PAC a sum of $ 8 million.
Soros had recently revealed about his expanded efforts in trying to oppose more border security. "we must reaffirm our commitment to the open society principles and attempt to resist the siren song from the likes of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump," Soros explained on Bloomberg.
Kasich, representing himself as a Republican primary reasonable voice caught the left's top donor together with his allies interested.
Bessent has been Soros chief investment manager until late 2015 while Druckenmiller has been managing George Soros investment money at the hedge fund. It should be remembered that Druckenmiller was Soros top fund manager when Soros successfully broke the England bank by devaluing the British currency in a move that profited him a total of $1 billion. People are now expecting Kasich to portray a strong showing in the Buckeye state. However, Senator Marco Rubio's campaign has forced his supports to back Kasich in a move which will try keeping Trump away from winning more delegates.
About George Soros
Soros is a self-proclaimed billionaire who is popularly known for his investment savvy. George was born in Budapest, Hungary on the 12th, August 1930. However, George fled Nazis in 1940's heading to the New York City in 1956. It is in New York where he entered the finance life. It was in 1979 when Soros began his philanthropic efforts and by 2012, he was giving amounts of more than $7 billion through his Open Society Foundations. The foundations used to fund a range of initiatives across the globe starting from public health, education, business development, advance justice and independent media. The different causes which Soros help are numerous and include the establishment of the after-school programs in the New York City, aiding the regions which have been struck by the natural disaster, lending financial assistance to the Russian University system, funding the arts, combating brain drain in Eastern Europe and fighting disease.

LabelExpo Asia 2013
Great success of participation at Labelexpo Asia 2013, held in Shanghai last December.
Labellers and Converters had gathered in Shanghai to discuss the latest innovation.
In addition to the traditional label printers, we have to point out the remarkable presence of large-format flexible printing companies.
The turnout at Re-China booth, Gama International's dealer, was considerable. Customers have shown great interest in GAMA control systems: control of viscosity, temperature and pH of
solvent-based or water-based inks.
The Chinese market is constantly growing, not only for the increased use of packaging but also for the quality of printing.
Therefore the solutions of GAMA process control are important to achieve both a qualitative objective and a reduction of the costs of the solvent and the ink.

I am a hardcore gamer with years of experience playing COD and BF games. My passion for shooters goes way back to early 2000s and my style and skills have been evolving with every new game produced. Unfortunately a few months back I noticed my K/D ratio wasn't as good as it used to and I was lacking speed in my moves and unable to keep up with the younger generation. Tired of getting my butt kicked by teens, I've researched for modded controller for Xbox One as I figured that's what most of them were using. I came across this and a couple more companies and was debating which one to go with as all of them had decent reviews and the product. What bought me is their customer care, I had a lot of questions and they were quick with their replies and very detailed, unlike other 2 companies who were giving me very generic responses. Megamodz made me feel like they genuinely cared about my needs and took time to configure what would fit me the best. I appreciate the support and the only reason I took 1 star off is that I am not 100% satisfied with programming function for Rapid Fire. It is not very differnet from default speed options and for the price of the controller I was expecting a more personalized experience.
Benjamins Xbox One Controller

I received my controller and it works flawlessly, all 14 mods functioning properly. Note: Turbo Melee doesn't work with BO3.
Very pleased with customer service
By Sep 22, 2015on
Just placed an order for this controller with megamodz pro package and I was a bit confused which options to add. A lady on the phone was very helpful, she took time to listen to what my son is looking for in a remote and advised us on the best fit. Thank you for a great customer service
Benjamins with assault mod pack
By Apr 27, 2015on
Really good design,mods great effective. I ordered this and it arrived to my house in 3 days ( from FL to IL)
mods are pretty fast
By Sep 23, 2014on
I have 2 xbox controllers from megamodz team, standard black for my xbox 360 and benjamins xbox one. Set up for 2 systems is different, xbox 360 can hold up more mods, can enable up to 6 -8 at once on xbox 360 and can only have 4 mods enabled at once on xbox one controller. Xbox One controllers have more mods though plus I like the console better. So it all comes to what gaming system you prefer.
By Sep 15, 2014on
This is by far the coolest controller I ever had. Works flawlessly, easy to turn mods on and off, just make sure to take your time and read the instructions carefully.

i love my new controller I just upgraded. Gook look!

I'm sitting in the main reading room of Paris' Bibliotheque Historique, at a green leather-topped desk under painted wooden beams that have been holding up the soaring ceiling for hundreds of years. I am listening to another French institution, the chanteuse Juliette Greco, be interviewed; it's part of the library's exposition on Paris En Chanson, Paris in Song. Greco looks great for her 80-some years, her hair still jet black, her skin pale, her voice deep and husky. She's talking about her life, and why she always sang so much about Paris. "It is because," she explains, "Paris is une ville magique. People come to Paris looking for things, and whatever you come here in search of, you can find."
Legions of people have come to Paris over the centuries, of course, seeking to find their artistic voice, everlasting love, or simply a good baguette. I've come in search of a room at the Ritz, a search that finally reached fruition after decades. I'm so glad I persevered because the legendary hotel will close, in August, for more than two years for renovations. For those who like to say "you should have seen it (anything) before..." the time to experience the Ritz Paris is now.
Why the Ritz? Everyone has a favorite story. Mine began when I was a kid, reading Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Janet Flanner and Djuna Barnes write about living in Paris, and, often, stopping by the Ritz. The hotel seemed an unattainable paradise. Even its very name revealed its illustrious story and came to identify anything swank, expensive, "ritzy."
When I first came to Paris as a teenager, I was too intimidated to do more than stand outside the Ritz' imposing entrance on the Place Vendome and gawk. A few years later, with the confidence that a couple years of college had imparted, I put on my Sunday best and ventured inside, peering into the Bar Vendome in case Yves Saint Laurent was having lunch, and striding down the long, blue carpeted hallways lined with sparkling vitrines displaying an Aladdin's chest of luxuries--dazzling jewels, delicate ceramics, lustrous silks--as outside my reach as staying a night in one of the hotel's rooms.
But one evening years later, after arriving in Paris late because of an airline strike only to find that my reservation at a modest hotel near St. Sulpice had been given away, I called the Ritz. They had a room, no doubt their most modest, on the rue Cambon side, but to me it was paradise found. The crystal chandelier, the Rococo moldings, the silk damasks and jacquards, the closets that lit up when you opened the doors, and a bathtub as big as, well, the Ritz. I was in heaven, and all for a staggering $250 night.
Rooms cost a good bit more than that now. Rates start at $1,100 for a double, $1,500 for a junior suite, $2,170 for a suite, and a whopping $11,000 for the Coco Chanel Suite, with its black marble Cs inlaid on the white marble floor, honoring the designer who lived there for 30 years. The prices are lofty, but who knows how high they will sky-rocket after the renovation?
I just had tea with Matthieu Goffard, the hotel's Public Relations Manager, to find out more about the renovation. There's a lot that is not known. The redecoration is being done by design hotshot Thierry Despont, who promises to keep the look in the same style as it is now, but hasn't provided any details. Hopefully this means guests will feel as if they are in a French chateau and not in some chain hotel anywhere in the world, which often happens when traditional hotels try to modernize and look hip. They end up, to my mind, looking anonymous, impersonal, and cold.
"The Coco Chanel Suite, they wouldn't change that, would they? " I asked Matthieu. While no one knows the particulars yet, the goal for the hotel's historic suites at least is more to restore rather than replace or redesign.
What is known is that there will be a tunnel already under construction linking the parking garage under the Place Vendome to the hotel, so all the celebrities that have stayed over the years--Madonna, Michael Jackson, George Clooney--won't be mobbed by adoring fans crowding the street-level entrance. More suites will be created. All rooms will have improved technology including a do-everything control box that's light year's more advanced than the ring-the-maid buttons that Cesar Ritz invented when he founded the hotel in 1898. Plumbing will be updated, and tubs will fill in seconds.
The Terrace of the Bar Vendome, now open to the Parisian sky, will be covered, like a conservatory or winter garden. The hotel's other green space, now an outdoor lounge, will be landscaped like a formal garden a la Versailles. And the hotel will get its first ballroom. "Now we have to install a floor over the pool for events," Goffard explains.
The last time I stayed at the Ritz was a few years ago, as a guest of the hotel, in recognition of the coverage I had given it over the years for various publications. My late husband and I were welcomed into a suite with a photograph of us the hotel had lifted off the internet, blown up, and put in a silver frame by the side of the bed. The creamiest high-thread-count pillowcases were monogrammed with our initials. We had drinks on the soon-to-be covered terrace with the manager. We had dinner with Matthieu at the chef's table, with chef Michel Roth personally waiting on us. We took a Ritz-Escoffier cooking class, named in honor of the hotel's first chef, the great Auguste Escoffier, and learned the correct way to kill a lobster (plunge a blade between Larry the Lobster's eyes.)
The experience will always remain one of my life's finest. When the Ritz reopens, I'll return, God willing, to see what changed and what remains. Hopefully my response won't be "you should have seen it when..." but "hey, look at it now!" To my mind, though, there really is no room for improvement.
There's still time to experience the Ritz before it's too late. The rue Cambon side with its Hemingway Bar may already have closed, but the Bar Vendome with its open-air Terrace, the Espadon restaurant, the Ritz-Escoffier cooking school, the Ritz Health Club pool, the rooms themselves, even Coco Chanel's suite, all remain open, until the last booking the night of July 31.
On August 1, c'est fini.

Memorial Day is the day Americans set aside to honor those brave men and women who met tragic ends during times of war. We must use this day to honor their sacrifices, to pray for their families, and to bow our heads in recognition of their service. We must never forget.
You have seen their faces, heard their names, and maybe even heard their voices — those who gave the ultimate sacrifice during all wars.
This Memorial Day, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 17 members would like to invite Lewes residents to join us in remembrance of our nation's fallen heroes.
The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is the world's largest women's patriotic service organization, with nearly 800,000 members and 9,000 units in communities across the nation. The American Legion Auxiliary serves nearly 1 million veterans every year. Right here in Lewes, we continue to help mitigate the challenges our veterans face and deliver upon our mission by organizing multiple events throughout the year to support veterans and their families in civilian life.
I invite you to pause today to remember those who have fought for our freedoms. Find a Poppy Can in many of our local businesses, stop by Post 17 and drop some change into our Poppy Can and thank a Veteran who may be sitting there.
Join us for our Memorial Service at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 25.
American Legion Auxiliary members have dedicated themselves for nearly a century to meeting the needs of our nation's veterans, military and their families both here and abroad. They volunteer millions of hours yearly, with a value of nearly $2 billion. As part of the world's largest women's patriotic service organization, Auxiliary volunteers across the country also step up to honor veterans and military through annual scholarships and with ALA Girls State programs, teaching high school juniors to be leaders grounded in patriotism and Americanism. To learn more about the Auxiliary's mission or to volunteer, donate or join, visit www.ALAforVeterans.org. We invite you to stop at Post 17- join our Legion Family- OUR Veterans, our Sons and Riders – Enjoy our outdoor Tiki Bar that is open to the Public on Weekends at our many fundraising events and see how you can help our Veterans and their families young and old.

James Walton, Deloitte's Deputy Clients & Markets Leader for Singapore and Southeast Asia, shares with The Starting Line on Deloitte's involvement with Team Singapore and Sport Singapore.
I am a long-time expat Englishman who has been with Deloitte for 15 years and worked in over 50 countries with them in that time. I have been in Singapore for over four years now and I have very much endeared myself to this great country. While my day job as the head of marketing, communications, brand and business development for Southeast Asia and Singapore, even as I age (not so gracefully!), I consider myself foremost a sportsman. I was a football player until osteoarthritis in my knees ended my competitive playing days at the age of 17. Despite my condition, I continue to play recreationally now because of my love of the game.
Singapore's entire success story is based on innovation: for a small country, with limited natural resources and a tiny population, to ascend to such a position in the world economy in such a short time is nothing short of a miracle that requires constant innovation. Innovation doesn't always need to be big earth-shattering ideas as often times small ideas can add up to improvements in everyday lives.
With respect to sports in Singapore, innovation is key to future success. With a smaller talent pool, the tradition of sport in Singapore is precariously pitched at a unique position. In order for Singapore to develop world-class athletes, we cannot just hope to find a diamond amongst thousands of hopefuls as the odds will never be in our favour. What we need to do is to give deliberate and careful focus on athletes in sports where results and success can be achieved, and then inject innovativation in areas like training, nutrition, data analytics of performance and match strategy to give us that doggedness to compete with the best from the bigger nations.
We have been a partner in the sporting Singapore scene for a number of years already, going back to the inaugural Singapore Youth Olympic Games in 2010 where we were privileged to be an official sponsor. Since then, we continued our sporting endeavour as a partner of the Spex Business network and as recent as a couple of months ago, we are proud to be the Official Professional Services Partner for the 28th SEA GamesI it's been non-stop action for all of us here at Deloitte.
Amongst the many memorable moments we have had so far, the absolute highlight has got to be helping to run a camp for allTeam Singapore athletes and para athletes. The art collage exercise was immense fun and a lot of athletes contacted me afterwards to say what a great time they had and how many new friends they had made. I hope that we had made a small contribution in helping to build camaraderie and team spirit amongst all these athletes ahead of the 28th SEA Games.
There are too many to name. I guess from a personal point of view – every time I finish a marathon, it is an emotional moment. But my absolute highlight was going to the World Cup in Brazil this summer and watching six games, including Brazil's shootout win over Chile when I thought the stadium was going to explode – first with tension, then with joy.
Very few Asian societies have really put sport at the forefront in away that Western countries have done over the years. This is in part due to other priorities for developing nations and partially a cultural issue, it seems. To be honest, as long as sport in Singapore is not a viable career financially and with the lack of incentives, there will always be pressure fromparents for athletes to focus on academic laurels and to eventually choose respected careers either as doctors, lawyers, etc.
The spexScholarship Programme by Sport Singapore and Singapore Sports Institute to me is a step in the right direction towards solving this – the idea of trying to support athletes so that career/studies and athletic pursuits are not mutually exclusive . It is possible to study for a degree and still compete at an elite level, and to balance a career with the rigours of training if you pick your employer wisely and find a supportive environment. There are some incredible role models in this regard – in the netball team to see players like 'Dr Prem' and Deloitte's own Micky Lin, who is an Assistant Manager with us and an SMU marketing graduate, to see that those ladies have got the balance right.
James with members of the National Womens Netball team
Deloitte is focused on making an impact in everything we do and we have four shared values as an organisation: Strength through diversity, Commitment to each other; Integrity and Outstanding value to markets and clients. We definitely have a sporting culture as we have a very young population in the firm and sports is a great way to build team spirit and to help them unwind. We have more than 20 sports teams which are funded by the companyfrom football to basketball, dragon boating to touch rugby. We have enjoyed some great recent successes in corporate competitions, particularly in table tennis, badminton, tennis, floorball and women's football. Our netball ladies are the stars though, having won two consecutive M1 Corporate Challenges in style.
As for myself, I still player football regularly for the firm, in a social league and I run competitively. I have 18 London Marathons under my belt and a few ultramarathons (winning the 100km Duo at the Northface Thailand in 2013). Beyond that, I pretty much play any sport whenever I get the chance to and I seem to pick any sport up quickly.
James at a local Football tournament with the Deloitte team
I love it… what a facility! The Singapore Sports Hub is the perfect platform towards achieving sporting excellence. I seem to spend a lot of time there due to the spexScholarship Programme and our ongoing work with the 28th SEA Games and I have also taken in some sporting events including the AFF Suzuki Cup as well as the international friendly match between Japan and Brazil. Oh and not forgetting the Mission Foods Asian Netball Championships too. These facilities are truly world-class and I hear a lot moreexciting things are still to come.
For the 28th SEA Games, I hope it will be raining medals for all our athletes. I am lucky to know many of our athletes personally and my wish is that for everyone to achieve what they set out to do at the Games. I have only one prediction and that is on occasion of Singapore's 50th birthday, , I believe all Singaporeans from all walks of life will give their upmost support for the athletes with one spirit and one voice that we have never felt before in this country. The power of 5 million voices shouting as one is awe-inspiring and I hope that Singapore comes out in force to cheer each and every athlete and recognise the sacrifices they have made every day to represent the nation.

Audio slideshow: Bombay's jazz age
When you think of jazz in the early 20th Century you may think of New Orleans, Chicago, New York or Paris. What isn't so well known is that the Indian city of Bombay - now Mumbai - had its own flourishing jazz scene in the 1930s.
Naresh Fernandes - author of Taj Mahal Foxtrot, the story of Bombay's jazz age - paints a portrait of the musicians, the fans, and the music.Continue reading the main story

More work on Disk Clock, none of it externally visible. Nonetheless, it was nice to work on something I really enjoy, and I found myself ruing the necessary errands and cooking Sunday. Much of Saturday was a weapons seminar; I came in to teach staff, but only sword students came, and I ended up learning some ken-jujitsu instead.
Untangling Disks
I did a little work directly on ties keeping the disks in place. A couple of them used loops to assign common properties after the fact. In one case a disk directly referenced the properties of another, requiring data to be extracted for common use and functionality to be made independent of the disk class.
Disks By Any Other Name
The disks and various functions that operate on them had been declared in a big closure that created DISKS. I refactored all of the functions out, creating a new `disks` collection for those that in fact dealt directly with the disk collection. The new collection is built up by registration, rather than an omniscient literal array.
There are actually two collections – the master set of disks and the live disks, derived from the masters by prototypal inheritance. This is looking towards a still-distant time when it might be possible to have multiple clocks on a page.
Not-so-ready: Set; wait
The collection of disk sets also needed some indirection. The sets are now specified by name rather than reference. Like the rest, sets have been moved but it is still a somewhat thinly spread piece of functionality. Much of my work lately has been aimed at extracting the feature, since it doesn't make much sense to remove disks if there are still references to them.
One feature was a custom setting handler to reconfigure the disks when the set was changed. I found that this was heavily duplicated with the basic setting-changed event, and managed to implement it in the standard implmentPreferences function, which removed one bit of redundancy. Some time later that monolithic function will have to get broken up so each setting carries it's code with it.
The next challenge was allowing the sets feature to reconfigure disks without being a core piece of the main application. I defined a small and still limited event system to handle indirect registration and firing of events. This allows the sets feature to activate the appropriate disks without requiring a direct reference from the main code.

Android Rooting Forum discussion about general android root development.
I've heard of rooting but I still don't get what it does to benefit you. You can download games anyway without rooting so what benefits would you receive if you risked to root your phone?
You're basically given access to everything on your device. Rooting is required in most cases if you wish to perform something that's not covered in your license or warranty, such as editing or replacing the ROM, installing applications that have full control over the operating system, overclock the CPU, etc. Think of it as becoming the "admin" of your device and OS. Similar to jailbreaking on iOS devices.
If you decide to root your phone it can give you the ability to get out those apps that are preloaded into the android phone. It would give you added space that those apps take and nobody uses. Rooting your phone is is sometimes necessary if you want to use it for tethering. I have found a tethering app that can be used with your android phone that doesn't require rooting.
Also, you can install custom roms that will definitely change your android experience and install a lot of great apps like AdFree and Titanium Back-up ( a must have for any Android user ).

Photography A Look Into African American Art in the 1980s Video Art There is no clear definition for Black Art, but rather, the meaning is ever evolving. Within in each period, we find that there are common characteristics such as political, societal, and cultural shifts that make Black Art Black Art. The different eras include:

Post-Black Art:1993-Present What's up with the 70's? African-American artists in the 1970's confronted many insidious images by depicting them in their art but changing their attributes or surroundings.
Many artists relied on historical events or socio-political issues as inspiration for their work.
What is post modernism? -Jean Michael Basquiat - Famous Moon King, 1984-1985 PAINTING - Adrian Piper - Vanilla Nightmares no. 8, 1986 Sculpture - Alison Saar - Zombies, Totems, Rootmen, and Others, 1988 The End! Please take some time to fill

James Porter, another scholar at the time believed that artists should be free to create whatever they desire. Black Arts Movement/ Civil Rights Movement: 1963-1986 Postmodernism 1983-1993 Post Modernism was a time that allowed for artists to begin to explore their own holistic identity in addition to their blackness. Artist began to imbue their art work with a variety of symbols and iconography. In addition, they explored more within the 3D realm. Post-Black Art 1993-Present Black Art during this time was an attempt to deter themselves away from anything that could be perceived as White. Artists were creating overtly Black images. Artists who created abstraction in their artwork was rejected by other artists Edmund Gaither, a curator, attempted to define Black Art during this time by separating it into two categories:
Realistic/ Militant style
Neo Africanism Post-Black Art is a concept of contradictions that allows for artists to create their own artwork to incorporate their multiple identities and experiences. The artists choose to focus on their Blackness, by not focusing on their Blackness. This term and its understanding is still in a heated debate amongst scholars presently.

Tit, a sad little form made of scrap materials coated with a pale polyurethane skin perching on a worn aluminum stool, greets visitors to the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center's Be Here Now.
Andrew Boatright's sculpture is an emblematic welcome. The Atlanta artist and his fellow participants, Mike Black and Sandra Erbacher, transform everyday materials into conceptually playful and viscerally intriguing objects.
According to the curatorial statements, the show, on view through August 30, "is like an edict from the artists and our Center: be present and sensitive to the conditions that surround you." Its mission: to present viewers with art that "investigates presence, form and function" to "challenge gallery environments" and engage the "physicality and scale of ACAC's galleries and adjacent spaces."
Only Mike Black's work answers the implied promise of site-specificity. In Disregard Series #13 (2014), Black physically extends the building's gray metal ductwork into the "white cube" of the gallery. Recalling the 1960s minimalist installations of Robert Morris, Black's HVAC ducts stand against the wall and run along the floor. Tufts of pink insulation peek out from joints, and it hangs in heavy bundles in the wall-hung piece Pink Panther (2014), calling attention to the color, texture and formal qualities of the otherwise disregarded material.
The duct sculpture offers itself for aesthetic contemplation — with a twist. It is functional: cold air flows from a vent at the end of one piece, and all of the conduits are cold to the touch, confounding the spectator's expectations of "art."
Sandra Erbacher's clever conceptual appropriations thwart viewers' preconceptions by putting common features of institutional settings on display as "art" in the gallery space, though for the most part there is little direct relation with ACAC's galleries and spaces.
Hardware (2014), a small, gold-plated screw with a diamond-inlaid head, turns a "worker bee" into a precious display object that playfully satirizes the dynamics of display. Carpet, subway tile and a neon exit sign are similarly transformed into conceptual installations.
These are part of a body of work that earned Erbacher the 2014 Chazen Museum Prize to an Outstanding MFA Student at the University of Wisconsin. Transplanted to these galleries, however, some of her work loses its context. Resistance Weave (Assedic 2041) (2014) is an 11'8" x 15'4" rectangle of light brown carpet with the word Anarchy shaved into its pile. Its placement on the gallery wall conditions viewers to regard the humble material that they usually walk on as an abstract painting.
But this carpet could just as easily have been taken from a random office building as an art gallery. If there were similar carpeting at ACAC, the irony of its aesthetic transformation would seem more relevant.
"Assedic" is the name of a French labor organization, but its relationship to art institutions is unclear. Is the shaving of the carpet pile labor? As a commonplace functional object, is it supposed to relate to the "worker bee" Hardware? Are cultural institutions implicated? Anarchy implies many things, but detached from referents and without explanation, it is meaningless.
Like works by Erbacher and Black, Boatright's biomorphic creations call attention to contrasting form and material presence. The Inner Experience of Wholeness (2014), for instance, is made of rebar, nylon stockings, foam, polyurethane adhesive, bleach, spray paint and, according to the wall label, "pathos."
Standing on what appears to be a broken foot (or leg) with limbs outstretched, forming a supplicant X, the hybrid creature compellingly begs for compassion, even though it is just an agglomeration of industrial materials.
The figure in Crazy Horse (2014) poses atop a tower of cinder blocks, sword in hand, fighting an existential battle like the attenuated sculptures of Alberto Giacometti, until the humility of its materials makes its quest seem absurd.
Undeniably our expectations affect our experience of art when viewed in a museum or gallery. Even though the works don't always manifest the stated curatorial concerns, the intellectually amusing and engaging installations in Be Here Now are well worth the visit.

The Gold and the Nation Collection is comprised of ten pieces, six of which are offered as three pairs, the remaining four pieces are offered individually.
In the context of this unique ten piece collection, gold retains its position as a symbol of status and wealth as it has throughout the ages.
The cultural and historical importance of the ten pieces cannot be overstated.
A number of them were exhibited at the opening of the National Museum of Australia, Canberra, in 2001 as part of an incomparable exhibition of gold artefacts from around the world.
The opening of the museum was the centrepiece of Australia's Centenary of Federation Celebrations.
This ten piece collection tells the story of gold in Australia from its discovery in 1851 and its conversion into gold ingots and gold coins in 1852, the nation's first gold currency.
The ensuing critical years of 1853, 1855 and 1856, when Australia struck its first official gold sovereign and half sovereign coinage are also represented.
Included in the collection are, not one, but two 1852 Adelaide Gold Ingots, the only known examples privately held. Each ingot is unique and each is offered at $1.35 million.
Adelaide Assay Office 1852 Gold Ingot Type 1.
Adelaide Assay Office 1852 Gold Ingot Type 2.
The collection also includes a gold 1853 Proof Sovereign and a gold 1853 Proof Half Sovereign offered as a pair for $1.5 million.
The two coins were struck at the Royal Mint, London, as test pieces for Australia's first official gold coinage, and is the only known pair privately held. No examples are held in Australian public institutions. (Australia's first official sovereigns and half sovereigns were not issued until 1855.)
The narrative of Australia's coinage is as much about the people that have owned them as it is the point in time that each represents.
King Farouk of Egypt, who amassed one of the most famous coin collections in history during his reign between 1936 and 1952, owned the Gold Ingot Type I. The Gold Ingot Type II was formerly owned by Herbert W. Taffs M.B.E.
The first recorded owner of the 1853 Proof Sovereign and 1853 Proof Half Sovereign was Captain Vivian Hewitt. Born in 1888 to a wealthy brewing family in the U.K., he was an aviation pioneer.
Coinworks is honoured to have been entrusted with the sale of the Gold and the Nation Collection.
All enquiries for the Gold and the Nation Collection should be directed to Belinda Downie Managing Director of Coinworks.

This is one of our favorite photo sessions. On this occasion, we went on location to Wallard, TX to shoot some photos of Jonhnicito, this is how grandma calls him; it means "Little John" in Spanish. I think shooting on location was the best decision on this particular case because Johnicito is full of energy and very curious about his surroundings. He was able to run around and explore the place, play with his favorite toys while we were shooting very candid pictures of him. We were able to capture his gorgeous little face smiling, his eyes sparkling, and some frowny faces too! We always welcome the variety of expressions that reflect a child's personality and try to capture them to make beautiful lasting memories for them and their loved ones to enjoy.

The LSU basketball team was without two of its starters for the opening tip of Monday night's game with the College of Charleston.
No Josh Gray. No Jarell Martin.
No problem.
Gray missed his second game in a row with an ankle injury, and Martin was held out of the starting lineup after being involved in a minor car wreck earlier Monday, which caused him to be late for the team's pre-practice.
Martin, who was replaced in the lineup by freshman Aaron Epps, entered the game at the 15:53 mark of the first half and scored nine quick points. He also had five rebounds and a pair of assists in his first eight minutes of play, helping LSU build a 35-15 halftime lead.
From there, LSU (9-2) had little trouble in coasting to a 71-47 win over College of Charleston (5-7) before about 4,500 fans in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. It was the Tigers' sixth consecutive victory, equaling the longest winning streak of coach Johnny Jones' three-year tenure.
"I wasn't able to make pregame, so coach wanted someone to come off the bench that was more focused," Martin said. "He knew I had some things going on and he understood from my viewpoint. So he wanted me to come off the bench."
Martin was certainly focused when he checked in at the first official timeout.
He had four free throws, made a layup and knocked down a 3-point basket and added two assists to help LSU stretch its lead to 26-9 at the 7:39 mark.
"Because he wasn't there for the game prep, we brought him off the bench," Jones said of Martin, who started the first 10 games and is LSU's leading scorer and second-leading rebounder. "It was nothing major.
"The true champ that he is, I thought he did an excellent job of being focused coming off the bench and having a great game and a great mindset. That says a lot about him and his character and the way we believe and trust in this team."
After a bit of a slow start, which saw the Tigers make just one of four field-goal attempts, fellow forward Jordan Mickey was pleased to get Martin back on the floor.
"We were still happy to see our team play the way it did even with him sitting out the first four minutes," said Mickey, who had eight points and seven rebounds in the first half.
LSU eventually led by as many as 28 points in the second half after Martin and Mickey combined to put on an impressive offensive and defensive display to finish off the Cougars.
Martin finished the game with 18 points, nine rebounds and three assists in just 26 minutes, while Mickey had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. He also had six blocked shots in 27 minutes.
Four of Mickey's blocks came in a 43-second span of the second half — including three on one trip down the floor by College of Charleston.
Mickey swatted away shots by Joe Chealey, Canyon Barry and Glen Pierre Jr. in one sequence and then rejected one by Cameron Johnson on College of Charleston's next possession — as the crowd roared its approval.
"It was pretty big for me and big for our team," said Mickey, who led the Southeastern Conference with 3.1 blocks per game as a freshman last season. "Coach always talks about when you have fouls, you still have to be aggressive and can't give up easy shots. That's what I was able to do."
After that stout defensive sequence pleased the crowd, Martin had a dunk on an alley-oop from Quarterman with 12:58 to play and Mickey added another less than a minute later, this one on an assist by Martin, to push LSU's lead to 51-25 with 12:10 remaining.
When Jones took Martin and Mickey out with 7:02 left in the game, the Tigers had their largest lead of the night at 61-33.
Keith Hornsby added 11 points and four rebounds, and Quarterman, who started once again for Gray at point guard, contributed eight points and had six rebounds.
Defensively, LSU held College of Charleston to 28.1 percent shooting from the field as the Cougars made just 18 of 64 shots, while the Tigers shot 47.8 percent in their final game before the Christmas break.
"I thought our guys did a tremendous job of being focused and concentrating and coming out and playing with a great deal of intensity like they needed to in this game," Jones said. "That's a good sign for this basketball team."

A Week in the Life of a Budget Yogi- Tuesday
I can pretty much do Rodney Yee's AM Yoga by heart now, so to get out of my messy and decidedly non-mellow house, I took my yoga to a very special place:
My balcony.
I recently fixed this thing all up- I regret that I didn't use it adequately sooner, but it is what it is and now I am. I got some fun colored chairs, painted a rock with the word NAMASTE and brought my plants out. And can I tell you...I LOVE IT. Its my tiny little oasis. I read out here, the little one and I eat lunch out here, and tonight, I did my yoga out here.
Namaste, indeed! :)

A Week in the Practice of a Budget Yogi- Monday*
This post is the first of a short series of posts that documents a week in the life of my Year of Yoga. I call myself a Budget Yogi because I mostly do DVD's at home. DVD's are fine for the most part; I really enjoy the collection I have. Would I like to practice more in a real live studio? Sure, but but it really depends on my bank account on any given day, as well as child care, so mostly it ends up being just me, my cluttered living room, a two year old, a dog or two, a cat, and an onscreen Rodney Yee. Rock on!
Today I came home at lunch to do my yoga for the day. I only work 5 minutes or so away from my house, so sometimes this is a nice option- especially if I know the evening is going to be busy. It's also a nice break from everything to come home to an empty house and to light a candle and mellow out for a half hour in the middle of the day.
The DVD selection for today's practice was Yoga for Stamina- a nice 20 minute flow that includes my favorite Tree Pose. :) My mood for today's practice was half way between 'Totally Distracted Lets Just Do This So I Can Check It Off the List' and 'Totally Blissed Out'. My mind wasn't completely on task, but I wasn't completely unfocused either.
What I have found during this year is that I'm not going to be Totally Blissed Out everyday. Some days it will just be a check off the list- but that's ok. I'm there, I made the effort to pull the mat out and practice, and my body will get the benefit. When I'm conscious of a mindset like that, I try to focus more and be present, but sometimes it just doesn't stick. On days like those, I concentrate on the fact that I made good choices in getting on the mat, even if I wasn't totally present. What matters on those days is that I showed up.
I think life is often like that, no?

I like both the Lavender Bliss shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels smooth and clean. The conditioner comes in a 4oz bottle, and it's very expensive so I'll do some research on another similar and less expensive product.

Hello there!
Mother's Day is just around the corner! Can you believe it?
There are so many amazing women in my life, not least of all my own Mama, and I'm so excited to get to celebrate (and pamper) them a bit!
As we get closer and closer to Mother's Day, I just wanted to mention a beautiful little compilation that I had the honor of being a part of! 21 Days of Joy: Stories that Celebrate Mom is a sweet collection of fictional devotionals, intended to inspire and entertain both Mothers and those who love them.
If you haven't picked out that perfect gift for you mother yet, or if you think this little aqua-colored title might just be the cherry on top of the dessert, there are a few ways you can get a copy yourself!
The novel is on….
And just about everywhere else. It also happens to be in stores! So you might want to check your local Christian retailer!
And lastly, if perhaps you would like to have an autographed copy, I have a few of my own. However, I cannot guarantee that they will get to you by Sunday. But, if you don't mind giving this little book a bit late, but surprising your special mother with a signed copy, that is definitely an option too!
If you're interested in an autographed copy, shoot me an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you so much for dropping by! Have a great Mother's Day!

Fresh, ripe strawberries in October! I could not resist and I bought a lot.
As you may know, strawberries are extremely perishable. I ate some just like that and decided to juice the rest before they go bad.
My juice will give you a healthy glow in the middle of October. The extra dose of vitamin C from strawberries will help you to resist cold and flu during the cold season. I added apricot kernel oil to help the body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins. The aroma is divine!
- 10 large carrots
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tsp apricot kernel oil (use flax or hemp if you prefer)
- Pass carrots and strawberries through a juicer.
- Pour the juice into glasses.
- Add 1 tsp apricot kernel oil to each glass and stir well. Indulge in good company!
Tip: You do not need to peel the carrots if you are using organic ones. Simply wash them carefully to remove any residual dirt. Also, use the leftover pulp to make raw crackers or cookies.

Dr Jack & Curtis cartoon on Radio 702's EyewitnessNews (EWN)
Naspers chairperson Koos Bekker is now branded a South African TV villain as an ongoing torrent of bad press continues to engulf the embattled Naspers leader and its pay-TV arm MultiChoice over a widening possible "State Capture" scandal swirling.
Naspers and MultiChoice are being dragged deeper and deeper into negative headlines inflicting serious damage to these brands and brand reputations over its alleged dubious dealings with, and massive payments to, the controversial Gupta family's ANN7 (DStv 405) TV channel and the SABC.
At issue is whether the mega-television behemoth is or was involved in undue pressure to get ANN7 and the SABC to exercise pressure in return for lucrative pay-for-play channel contracts on DStv, and got the South African government to change its encryption policy for set-top boxes (STBs) for the country's faltering switch from analogue to digital TV.
Explosive, leaked meeting transcripts between MultiChoice and the South African public broadcaster the SABC, as well as #GuptaLeaks contracts between MultiChoice and the controversial ANN7 D(Stv 405) channel showing massive payments from DStv to the Guptas, have raised multiple serious questions over corporate impropriety.
MultiChoice told the SABC it would pay the broadcaster R100 million for the SABC News channel but but only on the strict must-have contract clause condition that the SABC must support MultiChoice's stance on conditional access (CA) for digital television.
MultiChoice also dramatically upped its payments from R50 million per year to R100 million per year and then R141 million per year, as well as a questionable, additional R25 million payment to the Guptas for the low-rated, bad quality, mistake-filled and often criticised ANN7.
MultiChoice is paying ANN7 more despite its barely there low ratings than eNCA (DStv 403) that has more than 50% of the overall TV news audience share.
It's all created the perception that MultiChoice has paid kickbacks to both the SABC and ANN7 to use its influence to get set-top box (STB) encryption dropped from government-subsidised STBs in the switch to digital terrestrial television (DTT).
MultiChoice and Naspers that have denied the kickbacks allegations and have been very slow to respond to the public perception brand and reputation crisis, have been overly arrogant where it did respond and in instances where executives spoke publicly.
On Tuesday Naspers shares tumbled over 4% on news that the United States law firm, Pomerantz - specialising in class action securities law suits - has started its own investigation into possible Naspers securities fraud and other unlawful business practices.
On Tuesday Naspers caused the worst daily loss on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in two months since September as its share price sagged to R3 520.
Pomerantz said it is looking for Naspers investors who want to join a possible class action case against Naspers after Naspers' American Depositary Receipt price fell 5.58% on 1 December 2017.
The MultiChoice board on Friday announced that it is starting an internal investigation of itself; with parent Naspers that said it won't get involved as public and investor criticism over Naspers and MultiChoice's slow and insufficient response to the growing scandal keeps building.
Naspers issued a statement on Friday claiming it's being victimised and that persistent "baiting" by the media, the public, investors and political parties for Naspers to intervene in MultiChoice's affairs, should stop because it's allegedly "not conducive to an open democracy".
On Tuesday Naspers in a statement said that it had not been informed of any legal action from any of its investors and that it took allegations that it had engaged in business malpractice seriously.

Is this thought realistic or unrealistic?
Can we make everything alright all the time?
The answer is simply NO! When I think about the above statement the immediate picture, all I could think about was all the advertising about what being a perfect parent would look like.
There is no one that could possibly say they make things alright every time. Being a parent is not about making things perfect all the time its all about learning about our own needs and our children's own needs. That does not come instantly, it comes in time.
Plus there is so much that is external that we can not possibly control but all you can do is do your best.
One on one coaching could be extremely beneficial for those who really want to be the best parent that you want to be. By focusing on you and your relationships with family memebers, you will be naturally learn to meet the needs of family members and meeting those needs will make the perfect family unit.

Childhood Mental Disorders and IllnessesParenting
Physical Deficits
Children with autism may also display synesthesia, a neurologically-based syndrome where sensations become confused with one another. Sounds may be experienced as touches, for example, or as visual stimulation. For example, children with autism may cover their eyes when they hear a loud sound. Children with autism's sensory synesthesia and sensitivity symptoms occur for neurological reasons. Their brains have difficulty properly filtering sensory inputs. Their brains do not always know what to block out and what to receive, or where sensations are supposed to go.
Children with autism frequently show developmental delays in developing fine motor skills. While some children enjoy fine motor activities like lacing their shoes or coloring, others become very agitated when directed to complete fine motor activities. Writing is especially troublesome for some children. Many choose to use a keyboard rather than writing things out by hand.
Part of the issue children with autism have with fine motor activities is that they tend to interfere with their need to engage in stereotyped repetitive movements and self-stimulatory behaviors. Children with autism with hyposensitivities to sensory stimulation constantly feel under-stimulated, and engage in a variety of self-stimulation behaviors such as hand flapping or rocking just to help themselves feel more 'normal'. Likewise, hypersensitive children may engage in self-stimulation as a means of blocking out otherwise overwhelming environmental stimulation. In either case, children with autism find it aversive to be prevented from self-stimulating by the need to concentrate on tasks and are likely to resist efforts to motivate them to complete such tasks.
Self-stimulation behaviors are often varied in nature. In addition to hand flapping and rocking, children with autism may engage in visual self-stimulatory behaviors. They may squint their eyes, or otherwise defocus their eyes to create odd visual sensations. Alternatively, they may engage in "sighting"; repetitiously focusing closely on an object, then pulling away, and then repeating the process over and over.
Many children with autism do not develop a normal sense of themselves in relation to their environments. They lack awareness of where their bodies are in relation to their surroundings. As a result of this lack of environmental awareness, some children become very accident-prone and tend to bump into objects. However, many individuals with autism demonstrate superior gross motor skills and balance, even though they lack body awareness.

Techniques for Managing Biting Behavior in Hedgehogs
A friendly hedgehog won't bite unless you smell tasty. Hedgehogs are seldom overtly aggressive, but the maxim "anything with teeth may bite" certainly applies. In order to know how to manage that behavior, it's important to look at why the hedgehog is biting. The most common reason is because there is something on your hands that smells yummy, and they want a taste. In this case, they will often lick first, and the bite is more of a nip. Keep in mind, hedgies can find some strange things yummy, like tobacco smells or soap smells, so this may be occurring even if you have just washed your hands or haven't recently had anything you'd consider yummy. Probably the best way to manage this kind of biting is what behaviorists call response prevention. Watch carefully, and if hedgie licks or shows any other sign of biting, move your flesh so hedgie simply can not bite.
In young hedgehogs, biting/nipping may be a way of exploring the environment. This may or may not be preceded by a lick. To discourage this behavior in babies we think have gone overboard with the exploratory nibbling, we use a mildly aversive "air puff" technique. We watch the hedgie carefully, and as soon as it begins to open its mouth we blow a puff of air toward the hedgie. The hedgie's natural response is to lower the visor or ball up. It can't bite when it's doing that, and it usually only takes about 2 to 4 times of doing this for hedgie to learn that trying to bite something that smells like human flesh leads to something uncomfortable, and to stop.
In hedgies who don't normally bite, biting is probably a way for the hedgie to communicate something. Your challenge is to figure out why. Some hedgies do not like to be handled for very long, or may become uncomfortable in a noisy environment, and the bite is their way of saying, "This is too much. Put me down." Usually the hedgie will squirm and otherwise let you know it's not happy with the situation before it bites, so learning to be attentive to what hedgie does before the bite can help you to keep hedgie happy so he or she doesn't have to bite to express displeasure.
There are a small number of hedgies who just seem to bite very consistently and for no apparent reason. It is also very important to rule out health concerns as a possible reason, as some hedgies may bite because they don't feel well and don't want to be messed with. Out of the several hundred hedgies who have passed through our home in the last 5 years, I think there have only been two that really fit this category of determined biters with no health problems and consistent biting behavior. One of them appeared to have been hormonally driven. He was a male who came from a line of very friendly hedgies, but he would constantly bite, even going so far as to bite through cloth. Once bred, he completely stopped this behavior and in almost 2 years has never fallen back into his biting pattern. The other was a life-long, incorrigible biter. We found that with her, if we didn't put flesh in front of her, she didn't bite. So, I learned quickly to pick her up in a way that kept her happy and my fingers out of danger.
Although I have not had to use aversive techniques to manage biting in hedgehogs who fall in that category of incorrigible biters, I have heard of others who have had success. The technique that was described to me involved keeping a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol (a very unpleasant smell) handy. When the hedgie bit, the person would touch the q-tip just above the nose. This gave the hedgie a very nasty smell to associate with the biting, while not endangering sensitive nasal tissues by actual touching of the alcohol to the nose. The report I got is that this person's hedgie stopped biting after just 2 or 3 trials. As a trained behaviorist, I would recommend trying to apply the aversive (alcohol smell) before the bite happened, as I would rather teach the hedgie not to bite without actually having to be bitten. I would also caution that if the biting continued after 4 or 5 trials, the technique should be considered a failure and discontinued. I would also attempt the puff of air technique before trying this technique, since it is always best to use the least level of aversiveness possible. If hedgie's biting continues after all of these techniques have been tried, you may want to ask your veterinarian if he or she has any ideas, or if there is an animal behaviorist in the area that might be willing to consult.
