One of the best things about Robert E. Wells' book, "Can You Count to a Googol?" is that he takes you through the build-up of numbers slowly.
Both author and illustrator, he shows you a whimsical imagining of 1, inviting readers to see themselves with one banana balancing on their nose.
By the time you get to 100 bananas balancing on 10 monkeys, you have slipped quietly into the understanding that adding zeros adds places in a number and multiplying by 10 does the same thing – a pretty powerful concept he shows with silliness.
And, then, he shows you what 100 eagles would look like, if they were in the shape of a hot air balloon carrying you through the sky to give you still another view of what 100 looks like. Before you're done, you've seen 1,000 and 10,000 and 100,000 and penguins and pennies and marshmallows.
By the time you get to million and billion, he is explaining what you use such large numbers for, measuring space and time and stacks of bills. The stacks of bills ends up being particularly useful when he goes on to 10 million, 100 million and one billion because now you have some idea of scale when you compare them.
By now, you are enchanted at how big the numbers are and Wells easily leads you to a trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, octillion and, finally, a googol.
If he'd just started with the definition that a googol is a one with 100 zeroes behind it, it wouldn't have meant anything. This way, by the time you get to a googol, you know how big it is. And, you will know there are even bigger numbers than googol, because, as he says, you can always add another zero.

Hi All!
Long time, no blogging. For my good friend Maria's Birthday it was time to try the 10 layer cake I saw on http://www.bakerella.com/fourteen-for-the-fourteenth/. She did 14 layers but I thought I could settle with 10 layers!! It was fun and not as hard as I thought. My layers are way too thick and the batter doesn't spread out on its own when there is this little amount in a tin. I should have spread it evenly before baking to get a less convex cake at the top!! It got a lil topsy turvy as I put more layers on so I should have spread it out! OOPS!!!!
And the surprise is..............when I cut the cake its ONLY SEVEN LAYERS!!! hahaha- I was a little tired last night! I had no idea. Seven is a lucky number anyway!! Happy Birthday Maria! -Megan
|Building and Building
|Bought these pie tins to help make the layers quickly
|Not too lopsided :)
|Count them!! SEVEN!

Horror Metal Band Vampire Stream New Track "Under The Grudge"
Swedish horror-inspired death metal band Vampire has released a stream of "Under The Grudge", which comes from their upcoming self-titled album (out March 3rd via Century Media Records). The sound of the band reminds me of black/death metal of the early 90's, raw and unpolished yet incredibly ferocious. You can stream the song below (Courtesy of Decibel).

Dunne Speaks on the 2015 Budget
Dunne Speaks on the 2015 Budget
The 2015 Budget has been presented, and while Parliament settles down for the next day or so to debate some of the consequential legislation, the public will begin to pick over the entrails to determine their assessment of it. Essentially, it will boil down to one thing – do they feel personally better or worse off as a consequence. They may take account of the small projected Budget surplus, with bigger surpluses to come in the years ahead, but they will also remember there was to be a surplus this year which has not eventuated, so they will take that promise with a grain of salt. They will look at the social assistance package, noting with quiet approval the rise in benefit levels (for some, their anxious consciences will be salved by that) but then they will quickly check to see if they are one of the losers because of the consequential adjustments to Working for Families payments. In most cases, they will conclude that the Government has probably got it "about right" with little real impact on their own circumstances, and so they will just carry on with their lives.
Not that they really expected anything different. The days of Budgets being the year's "Big Bang" have long since passed, with much of the detail announced by Ministers in the weeks immediately beforehand, even though as the Minister of Finance has shown in this Budget the odd surprise can still be delivered on the day.
All of this is a far cry from the Budgets of old, when people would listen in intently, waiting for the feared words, "As of midnight tonight …", which usually presaged the introduction of new taxes, levies or reductions in some form or other of government services. Gone too are the old traditions of the pre-Budget stock-up of alcohol, and tobacco products to avoid Budget tax increases – even these are indexed now, and movements in rates announced well in advance, so no-one is caught by surprise. Few truly lament the passage of all that drama.
There is another reason why the Budgets of old should be forgotten. Their fundamental purpose was different – they were the politicians' version of Scrooge's Christmas, the one time in the year when goodies were dished out to those whom the Government liked, or wanted to like it, while those whom it did not like or care much about were either ignored or scapegoated. An economic and political morality play, if you like.
Today, the Budget is much more a statement of the Government's plan of action for the year ahead, a politically and economically strategic document, rather than just handing out the loot. One thing that not has changed in the transition is the attitude of the Opposition. Be they of the left or the right, be the circumstances adverse or more propitious, Oppositions always oppose the Budget, with as much and fire and passion as they can muster, even though changes of government over the years have led to very few changes in Budget settings. Benefit levels are a good example – the last significant uplift in basic levels was when Sir John Marshall was Prime Minister, 43 years ago. When benefits were slashed by National in late 1990, despite its outrage and fury at the time, the Labour-led Government after 1999 did not restore the cuts. Now that a basic adjustment has been made, the Opposition are predictably saying it is not enough.
This is the sort of thing that makes Budget watching such fun – so long as no-one takes it too seriously. Debate will rage in Parliament over the next few days; the pontificating commentariat will have its worthy say; and then, by early next week or so, life will settle back to pretty much what it was beforehand.
Until we go through it all over again next year.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of General Mills®. The opinions and text are all mine.
Looking for ways to raise money for your school? Engineering to the rescue!! Host a Balloon Box Car Derby and save those Box Tops! Every one saved is a car part and 10 cents for your K-12 school. Here's how to do it…
Host a Box Top Balloon Car Derby
First thing you need to do is rally the school! Nothing like a little bit of competition to help raise money. Each student makes and races a recycled container balloon powered car. You could do it in class or make it a whole school party on a Saturday. Just be sure to tell everyone to look for potential car parts that earn Box Tops 4 Education like Cheerios.
Balloon Box Car Derby Supplies Needed
My girl and I headed to Walmart to pick up some car parts. Mainly because I knew they would have everything that we needed plus they have an exclusive 5 Box Tops per product promotion going on. It became a cool engineering brainstorming session because I asked her to look for things that could work as the car parts. She found some biscuit can tops for wheels and lots of boxes of things like cereal and granola bar.
- 4 round things (wheels)
- 1 box thing (car)
- 1 balloon (engine)
- 2 paper straws (axles)
- 4 foam beads (hubcaps)
- Tape
- Scissors
- Something to poke holes in wheels
Make Your Car Body
First, cut out your Box Top and set aside. Then cut the bottom 1/3-ish off the box, with one of the narrow sides cut at about half level. It's hard to describe, so take a look at the picture. This higher piece will hold the balloon. Cut a small 1 cm x 1 cm hole in the tall flap to hold the balloon.
Make Your Wheels
The next step is to empty and clean your biscuit containers to make your wheels. And maybe eat a LOT of biscuits. Or have a biscuit party. Or even better, take them to the derby and sell them at a bake sale to make even MORE money for the school.
Now it's time to make holes in the wheels for the axles. I used a drill for this and recommend some adult supervision. First poke a small hole in the middle of the wheel with a nail and hammer. Then check your straw size and grab a drill bit a bit bigger than your straw. Then hold tight to the wheel and drill. Careful, these have a tendency to spin so using a clamp or drilling onto a safe surface like a block of wood is ideal.
Don't want to break out the drill? You can use yogurt cups (Yoplait has round bottoms), cut off the top and then use a glue gun to melt a hole in them. Check out my CD Case Geoboard for instructions on how to melt plastic with a glue gun.)
Assemble the Car
To assemble the car, poke four holes into the sides of the car for the axles. Two things to keep in mind: 1) Use a ruler to keep them at the same position on each side. Otherwise your car will drive wonky. 2) Make sure that the wheels touch the ground and that the center of the wheel overlaps the cardboard far enough that you can make a hole.
Feed your straws through the holes, then add the four wheels and the foam bead hubcaps. If the holes in the hubcaps aren't big enough, take the drill bit (without the drill) and dig them out a bit. Make sure your wheels spin freely and cut any extra straw length off the ends.
Drive Your Car
Grab your balloon, feed it through the hole in the cardboard, blow it up and let it ride! Then race :)
Now that you've got the plan for how to raise money, here are some fun ideas for how those funds can support STEM education (LINK TO FIRST POST HERE). Go save those Box Tops!

What we love…
Great retelling of The Nutcracker, The Nutcracker music, OM features
A lovely Christmas book that encourages children to use their imagination and
introduces them to The Nutcracker
Our Rating
The Berenstain Bears and The Nutcracker is a new app by OceanHouse Media just in time for the holidays. In this story Brother, Sister, and Honey open their presents on
Christmas morning. Among their presents is a Nutcracker Bear which Papa reminds them is from The Nutcracker ballet they saw on TV. At first, the cubs weren't too
interested in it, choosing instead to play with their new toys. It didn't take very long for the cubs to get bored. With plenty of time before dinner, Papa suggests they
entertain themselves by using their imagination. The cubs think this is a splendid idea and soon find themselves lost in the world of The Nutcracker.
What I love most about the book is that it reminds us that the best "toy" we have is our imagination. Our imagination can take us to far away places, it never breaks, and
it never ends. With our imagination, even the simplest of toys can be the most exciting of all. As the cubs find out, time flies quickly when you use your imagination.
This is also a great book to introduce young children to the music and the magical story Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. The beautiful music of The Nutcracker can be
heard in the beginning of the book and during the cub's reenactment of the story. The Berenstians do such a great job of retelling the story I wouldn't be surprised if
children asked to see The Nutcracker after playing with this app. This app comes with all of Oceanhouse Media's fabulous features. It has three reading options (read to me, read by myself, and auto play), words are highlighted as they are read, pictures and words are interactive and are highlighted and read when tapped, and custom voice narration may be recorded by multiple readers which can be shared with friends and family via email. A newer feature in Oceanhouse Media apps is the age gate where children are prevented from accessing external links. This is achieved by requiring a two finger swipe in a specific direction. The direction changes each time and can be either to the left, right, up, or down.
The Berestains Bears and The Nutcracker is a great addition to any Christmas app collection. I highly recommend it.

Martha Mills "Marti" Noxon (born August 25, 1964) is an American television and film writer first known for writing and producing Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is currently executive producing and writing the Bravo dramedy series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, the Lifetime dramedy series UnREAL, and is also one of the executive producers of the CBS medical drama series Code Black.
Early life
Noxon was born in Los Angeles, California to National Geographic documentary filmmaker father, Nicolas Noxon,[1] and Mary Straley.[2][3][4] Noxon said that she grew up in Santa Monica, California, and that her mother was gay.[5] She has a brother, Christopher Noxon, who is a writer and is married to TV writer Jenji Kohan.[6]
Noxon said that she would often accompany her father when he traveled to shoot documentary films and was already in love with the idea of movies.[7]
Noxon graduated from Oakes College at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1987 with a B.A. in Theater Arts.[8]
Early career
Initially Noxon wanted to be an actor because it seemed glamorous, but after trying for a while realized it wasn't something she wanted to do. She said she had always been told that writing was her strength, and eventually that was what she focused on.[7]
She met producer Rick Rosenthal while working as a waitress and eventually became his assistant. She then became TV writer Barbara Hall's assistant.[3] Noxon said that Hall was a strong mentor in what is an informal mentorship that writers sometimes find. Noxon had written a senior thesis project that was required for her major in college, then forgot about it for four years. She reconnected with the material and showed it to a producer and they tried to get it made. It was the beginning of her writing career. That said, she sold something early on (that was never made) and then it took seven years of writing on her own developing her abilities as a writer before she got onto Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[7]
Although the industry at the time was all about the log line which was very successful for writers like Joss Whedon, Noxon had to go through a process where she discarded that construct and got in touch with the vision that she felt connected to -- and also there was a realization that all of the work she had been doing was in a vacuum, so Noxon began writing plays and getting actors to speak her lines as a way to get feedback and get better at writing. She said that for her it was about voice, not concept.[7]
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
After the first season of episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were produced, Noxon's agent encouraged her to watch them and try to take meetings and get on the show, which Noxon was skeptical about as she wasn't wowed by the concept, and knew the original film hadn't done well. After watching the initial episodes she realized she loved the show, but was already booked to work on The Pretender, which was picked up to air, so seemed like it was a more safe bet.[7]
In 1997, Noxon joined the writing staff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for its second season. During her tenure there, she would go on to write or co-write 22 episodes of the series, half of these during her first two years on the show. Noxon described her experience on Buffy as charmed, as The WB was very hands-off and allowed the show creators on their network, like Whedon, to create with little interference.[7] The pace of the writing was extremely fast, with deadlines from 3 weeks to sometimes 4 days. Noxon said sometimes that resulted in great work, as writers were forced because of the pace to get out of their own way.[7]
In 1998, beginning with its third season, Noxon became a co-producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 1999, upon the beginning of Buffy spin-off Angel, Noxon was promoted by series creator Joss Whedon to supervising producer for its fourth season, which gave her increasing charge of producing Buffy. During this season, Noxon cast Amber Benson as Tara Maclay.
Noxon would co-produce the show over its fifth season (2000–2001) with fellow executive co-producer David Fury, as well as direct two episodes ("Into the Woods" and "Forever"). At the 6th season's conclusion, fan reaction was mixed, leading some to criticize Whedon for abandoning creative control and stewardship of Buffy to Noxon. In response, Whedon said:
Dis not th' Nox. [...] Marti [...] and I shaped this year very carefully, and while we made mistakes (as we do every year), we made our show. We explored what we wanted to, said what we meant. You don't have to like it, but don't think it comes from neglect.— Joss Whedon, UPN Bronze VIP Archive for May 22, 2002
Noxon was executive producer of Buffy between 2001 and 2003, for its sixth and seventh seasons.
Other projects
In 2004, Noxon wrote and produced a pilot entitled Still Life for Fox about a family recovering from the death of their son, a police officer. The pilot was not picked up.[9]
In January 2005, Noxon co-created the supernatural drama Point Pleasant with John McLaughlin. Despite an initial strong following, viewership dropped dramatically, and only 11 of the 13 filmed episodes would go on to air on Fox.[10] In the fall of 2005, halfway through its first season, Noxon left Prison Break, where she had been a consulting producer. She said she wasn't connecting with the material and the vision of the writer's room.[7]
In April 2006, Noxon joined the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters as showrunner. Four months later, it was announced that she would be leaving the show. Press cited creative differences with creator Jon Robin Baitz, but he acknowledged differing visions and being new to the process of creating scripted television, said he was struggling with the practicalities of working on his first TV show. Greg Berlanti, Baitz' friend, stepped in to help out.[11] It turned out the show would go through multiple showrunners, and Baitz himself would depart the series.[12]
In September 2006, Noxon joined the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy for its third season, as consulting producer.[13] In February 2007, Noxon co-wrote the third-season Grey's Anatomy episode "Some Kind of Miracle" with series creator Shonda Rhimes.[13]
In April 2007, Noxon left Grey's Anatomy to become executive producer and showrunner for Grey's spinoff Private Practice, which she did for one season.[14][15] In late 2007, Noxon served as head writer during the first season of Private Practice.[15]
In 2008, Noxon worked as a consulting producer on the AMC drama series Mad Men. Noxon said that working with Matthew Weiner was a dream, that it took her writing to a whole different level, and that with feedback from Weiner, was able to break herself of some habits that became ingrained after working on different shows for a while, like focusing on the theme of the show, etc. With Weiner on Mad Men, Noxon said she was able to re-connect with the purpose of writing better, and become more connected to what she was writing about.[7]
In 2008, Noxon co-wrote a second-season episode of the AMC drama series Mad Men, "The Inheritance", for which she was nominated for a 2009 Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series.[16] She won the WGA Award for Best Drama Series (after being nominated for the second consecutive year) at the February 2010 ceremony for her work on the third season of Mad Men.[17][18]
In 2011, she joined the writing team of FOX's Glee for its third season. She will not be returning, as confirmed on Twitter on 4 June 2012.[19]
In 2014, Noxon, along with co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, began working on the Lifetime dramedy series UnREAL. While working on UnREAL, Noxon is also working on Bravo's first original scripted TV series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce.[20] Noxon is also one of the executive producers of the CBS medical drama series Code Black which premiered in the fall of 2015.[21]
In 1999, Noxon co-wrote Just a Little Harmless Sex with Roger Mills.[22]
She wrote the screenplay of the 2011 remake of Fright Night,[23] directed by Craig Gillespie.[24]
In 2013, she was announced to write the Tomb Raider reboot for MGM and GK Films.[25]
Personal life
Noxon met her ex-husband Jeff Bynum while they were both working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[26] She has two children.[27]
Noxon said that her show, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, is not about her divorce, but is about divorce.[28]
As one of her hobbies, Noxon loves to bake. As part of that interest, she opened a flour mill in Pasadena, California, called Grist & Toll that supplies local restaurants with ground flour for baking.[29]

Bubble art show by a Russian bubbleologist! [01:12]
A Russian performer showing off his bubble skills in India.... According to Wikipedia: Soap bubble performances is a combination of entertainment with artistic achievement which requires high degree of skills. Some performers use common commercially available bubble liquids while others compose their own solutions. Some artists create giant bubbles or tubes, often enveloping objects or even humans. Others manage to create bubbles forming cubes, tetrahedral and other shapes and forms. Bubbles are sometimes handled with bare hands. To add to the visual experience, they are sometimes filled with smoke, vapour or helium and combined with laser lights or fire. Soap bubbles can be filled with a flammable gas such as natural gas and then ignited. Thisfootage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of imagery from South Asia.

Happy Holiday Treats
It's snowing outside!
It's still snowing outside!
It's...oh my gosh, a bus slid over the side of the freeway!
Yeah, I guess you could say we're not used to snow. Definitely not like this. And Seattle snow has a way of melting into ice before being snowed over again. But it has its good points, too, like...making caramels. I mean, come on. Would you ever have time to make caramels if you weren't snowed in with the flu and a three year old who just wants to do something?
So here's another favorite holiday treat (my modifications on a recipe from Food & Wine Magazine, ca. 1997).
Orange Vanilla Caramels
1 Tb flavorless oil
1.5 c heavy whipping cream
1 c light corn syrup
.75 c sugar
3 Tb. butter
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. pure orange extract
Line an 8" square metal baking pan with foil, extending over the sides of the pan. Coat with oil. In a 3 qt saucepan, combine cream, syrup and sugar. Stir over moderate heat until sugar is dissolved. Using a pastry brush and warm water, brush down sides of pan twice to prevent crystallization. Raise heat to med-high and place a candy thermometer into the pan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the temp reaches 250F. Remove from heat and quickly stir in butter and flavorings. Pour into baking pan and let cool until room temp, then cut with sharp, oiled knife. Store caramels in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 weeks (or wrap in cute little squares of waxed paper to give as gifts).
Variations: sub vanilla or other flavoring for orange, add chopped nuts, chocolate, etc., etc., etc.
Yum!! My favorite! Well, my other other other favorite.
With the combined force of snow and sick days, my La La goals have gone completely a-drift - though I did hit 1/4 of my goal and might be able to squeeze in a day when family comes to visit. I guess Creed just isn't meant to happen in December, but it is definitely meant to happen in early 2009. So with that, I'll be posting tasties and other treats for the rest of the year (and maybe even a novel update).
Happy Holidays, everyone!

woah! where's keenau reeves when ya need him?!ReplyDelete
Caramels, well now you have found my all time candy weakness.
Hope the little one is 100% now, poor dear.
Wow...you can even make delicious caramels!ReplyDelete
I think many of our La La Goals have been buried in the snow. You'd think we'd be getting more done (being stuck at home and all) but not so.
Holiday hugs!
OMG! The bus! I hope everyone got off that bus okay.ReplyDelete
Hope the little one is better and am glad you're making progress on your writing. BTW, I'm in if you do any more 5k days after the New Year.
And this recipe! Sounds divine.
Happy Holidays!
Wowza! I lived in Seattle for 13 years and never saw snow like this. Thanks for sharing the photos, Holly! The snow is gorgeous, but that's one scary, teetering bus photo.ReplyDelete
Stay warm.

"more spain"Vintage: 2012
by bill
This is exactly the style of wine that's come to represent all Spanish Reds- think of it as the Barossa Shiraz of Spain.
It's a bright, fruit-forward medium-bodied Tempranillo Garnacha; brilliantly approachable while youngish and to be honest, way too easy to kill a bottle over dinner.
Jammy, ultra-ripe red berry flavours, good balance and not too much oak, this is a wine as relaxed as you'd expect from our siesta-loving amigos in España. Sometimes the best results come from the simplicity of just doing the important things right. And Spanish winemakers have been doing them for thousands of years.

The former Supreme Court, now National Gallery Singapore, was opened on 3rd August 1939 by Sir Shenton Thomas (think Shenton Way), who was then the Governor of the Straits Settlement. He then handed the building over to Chief Justice Sir Percy McElwaine.
The original plan for the Supreme Court included the tearing down of the Cricket Club, the Parliament House (now Arts House) and the Victoria Memorial Hall. But the advent of World War Two thwarted this plan (heng, ah).
Many traversed these hallowed halls – the high and mighty, the poor and lowly, the innocent and guilty. I can only hope that all judgments passed were true and of good intent.
Singapore, October 2016

• Website statistics don't usually generate a lot of interest these days if for no other reason than the internet is such a common part of our daily lives. But when the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) reported it generated more than 600,000 hits in one school year on its main site -- and well more than a million through all its individual school sites -- we took notice. The statistics, along with those for the district's other Web-based resources, just go to prove how things have changed when it comes to parent-teacher/school interaction.

During the last week, we have published two reports on KershawHealth. The first, growing out of the hospital's most recent board of trustees meeting, focused on its market share. It is relatively healthy, thanks to KershawHealth's being the only hospital in all of Kershaw County. More people living in the county turn to KershawHealth for emergency care than anywhere else. However, the report -- broadly speaking -- noted a decrease in market share in outpatient services and only slight increases for inpatient services.
Kudos to our various law enforcement agencies for working together to get some folks off our streets who needed to be stopped.

Saudi Arabia's growing use of capital punishment has drawn criticism from human rights groups, who argue that the Saudi policy of publicly beheading the condemned is inhumane and that executing people for non-violent crimes such as drug-smuggling or apostasy is unjust.

Why Your Daughter Shouldn't Sing (ONLY) Taylor Swift Music
Is your daughter begging you for voice lessons, so she can learn to sing just like Taylor Swift? Awesome! But she also shouldn't be limiting herself to the pop-country crooner. Read on as Nashville teacher Heather E. explains why…
Lets get this straight right off the bat – I don't hate Taylor Swift. I think she's a great performer, a great businesswoman, and her early songs (the ones she wrote herself) are pretty good. If your daughter is looking for a role model, TSwift's story of stardom will certainly inspire her not to give up on her dreams.
However, I have a lot of experience with 8-year-old cuties that come to me for their first lesson and when I ask them, "So, what kind of music do you like?" they squeal, "I want to sing and play guitar like TAYLOR SWIFT!" While it's a good thing that they are excited, it takes a few lessons for me to convince them to try some Schubert or even just The Beatles. ("Here Comes the Sun" is a great song for beginners!)
It is important that kids are exposed to all different types of music as youngsters. Expanding their auditory palate will do them a world of good as musicians, and as valuable members of society. The good news is, it's so easy to do! All you have to do is download a music streaming app (like Pandora or Spotify) and pick out a station with a type of music they have never heard before. What a special experience for you to share with them!
Before you know it, your kid will be rocking out to Neil Young. Classics that you grew up on are so good, so do your daughter (or son!) a favor and play them some CCR… you know you want to. The goal here is not for your daughter to sound like Neil Young instead of like Taylor Swift; the goal is to get her to sound like her! And in order for her to find inspiration and discover her own voice, she has to listen to something other than Taylor Swift music. If "Teardrops on My Guitar" has 865 plays on her iPod, she's going to sound like Taylor Swift when she sings.
And I will be thankful to you, because your daughter will be asking me to teach her songs by Bob Dylan and Billy Joel! (and we can sing "Teardrops on My Guitar" too…)
Heather E. teaches voice lessons online or in your home in Nashville, TN. She has a BA in Music from Winthrop University and her specialties include classical voice and audition prep. Learn more about Heather here!

Hot-on-the-heels of news that Ridley Scott's alien prequel will revolve around the Space Jockey from the original, and very probably feature a female protagonist, Ridley Scott has been spilling yet more beans about the forthcoming flick.
Speaking to Collider at the Robin Hood junket, the Geordie helmer let slip that the film will be split in two, stating, "It'll be prequel one and two, then Alien one."
Whether they will shoot back to back is another matter however, with Scott admitting, "At the moment I'm just trying to get the first one out."
And almost inevitably, the film will shoot in 3D, although Scott admitted that the fact that the process requires extra light will cause him problems when shooting these relentlessly dark movies.
"The problem is you'll have to grade it later. You'll have to grit your teeth and light it not the way you'd like. And then later, you're gonna have to regrade it. Repaint it."
So there you have it - a pair of <alien prequels on the way quite possibly in three-dimensions. Is this good news for fans of this horror classic or do you think Scott should just let it be Feel free to chime in below...

In the following essay, Connelly "interviews" his character Harry Bosch, the Los Angeles police detective at work in several of his novels, including The Closers.
The following interview between Michael Connelly and Harry Bosch took place on March 25, 2005 in a Hollywood Boulevard cyber café called the Frontal Lobe. As is Bosch's usual practice, he insisted that the interview be taped, transcribed and presented without editing.

Connelly: Okay, we're recording.
Bosch: This is the same place you interviewed me in last time, isn't it?
Connelly: Yeah, I think so. About three years ago. Why? You don't like it?
Bosch: I don't know. All these computers … sort of makes me feel like General Custer at the last stand or something.
Connelly: Surrounded by the enemy, huh?
Bosch: It's just not my style, I guess.

Nursing leaders said yesterday that they did not trust the Government to meet their new pay deal despite assurances from John Hutton, the health minister.
Mr Hutton told the Royal College of Nursing annual congress in Harrogate: "I know you are concerned that funding will not reach nurses pay packets. I am determined that it will. We are investing nearly £1 billion in the new pay system in the first full year of implementation."
RCN nurses have approved the Agenda for Change proposals which give them a new career structure which will pay most of them 15 per cent extra over three years. It will start to be implemented next year.
Mr Hutton sought to assure nurses that all NHS trusts would be required to pay the entitlement in full and that they would be monitoring health authorities closely. But after his speech Dave Nunn, the chairman of the RCN congress, said: "I think the minister had nothing new for us today. I am not sure he came up with many answers.
"We are still uncertain about whether the money is going to be ring-fenced."
Beverly Malone, the general secretary of the RCN, said: "My concern is how to get a really strong commitment to move Agenda for Change forward."
She added: "The mood of congress is of not being taken for granted. We have delivered on Agenda for Change, are we really going to be taken seriously?"
• Nurses called for more regulation in the way that the morning-after pill is dispensed over the counter in chemists and supermarkets. They said that emergency contraception should be widely available but questioned the amount of advice, assessment and follow-up care that young women received when they bought it.

Sweetest Day Rendezvous
Celebrate Sweetest Day Weekend in Cleveland
Lexi Hotchkiss
Scarlett & Rhett. Rose & Jack. Bella & Edward. Cameron & Mitchell.
Gwen & Gavin. Beyonce & Jay Z. Princess Leia & Han Solo.
All great loves require a celebration. And, what better way to treasure your sweetheart than with a fling through Cleveland on Sweetest Day weekend (Oct. 16-18, 2015)? After all, the holiday got its start right here on the shores of Lake Erie.
Legend has it that back in 1921, a group of Cleveland-area candy makers got together to share ways they could bring happiness to the city's poor. So, they distributed candy and chocolates to the sick, elderly and orphaned on what they lauded as "Sweetest Day." The day became popular year-after-year and later took off when companies - like Cleveland-based American Greetings - spread the concept nationally.
Here in Cleveland, many of us celebrate it much like a second version of Valentine's Day. Check out these interesting ways to have your very-own Sweetest Day rendezvous in the city that started it all.
If, like Professors Roger and Virginia Klarvin, you and your love-ah are frequent guests at the Welshly Arms Hotel, then the way to your heart is through food ("Does anyone care for spiced lamb shanks?").
Thankfully, Cleveland knows its way around the kitchen. If it's French for ton amour, make reservations at L'Albatros, EDWINS or Cowell & Hubbard. For Italian, make it all about the romance at Luca, Osteria di Valerio & Al or LAGO Cucina. Or, go with something a little shi-shi like Lola Bistro, Trentina or CROP Bistro.
And, while we can all appreciate a good meal, sometimes it's simply foreplay for the true object of our desire: DESSERT! Check out these divine places for a decadent sweet treat this Sweetest Day.
Art is the ultimate muse - for love or otherwise. In Cleveland, we can think of no better way to woo your art-lovin' boo than with a trip to the Cleveland Museum of Art. The internationally recognized museum contains more than 30,000 pieces of art spanning more than 5,000 years. You'll find everything from Picasso to Renoir and Warhol to Monet.
Speaking of Monet, the museum is teaming up with Royal Academy of Arts in London for a once-in-lifetime international art exhibition called Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse beginning Oct. 11. The exhibition features 103 paintings by 25 artists all covering the use of gardens in art and centers on the work of Claude Monet. Take a romantic walk through the gardens (see what I did there?) with your love to celebrate Sweetest Day.
If there's anything truly worth peeping for this fall, it's the leaves. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, greater Cleveland experiences peak fall foliage colors between early- and mid-October. So, Sweetest Day offers just-chilly-enough-weather to hold hands while doting on Cleveland's au naturale beauty.
Throughout all of the fall season, the Cleveland Botanical Garden offers an ongoing event called ColorFall, which includes specialty leaf walks, flashlight tours and earthy ways to celebrate the harvest.
Or, give your honey a self-guided foliage tour through the Holden Arboretum or Cleveland Metroparks - autumn picnic in hand. And, make sure to stay overnight nearby nature.
Take a romantic train ride aboard the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad as you dip and turn through the national park's valleys, meadows and overlooks dotted with oranges, reds and crisp browns.
For many of us - especially in Cleveland - Cupid's arrow doesn't come from a satchel, but rather a growler he wears strapped to his back. That's right, folks. The way to our hearts is through a cold, frosty craft beer.
And, the best news of all is the Cleveland Beer Week is happening during the same time as Sweetest Day Weekend. The weeklong dedication to all things beer includes tastings, beer and food pairings, special tappings, dinners, educational programming, games and activities, music-related celebrations, and vintage releases.
Promenade your partner to Cleveland Beer Week's Beer & Chocolate Extravaganza at the Heinen's Downtown Rotunda on Oct. 16. The soiree features 16 brews paired with all sorts of luxurious chocolates. Sweet!
If you can't make it to any of the 350 events happening at more than 125 locations (which of course we find hard to believe), then at least get your beer-loving beloved to the Brewpub at Great Lakes Brewing Company where you can sip seasonal favorites like Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale and Oktoberfest.
Fancy a little thespianism this Sweetest Day weekend? Book tickets to see the Broadway musical Bullets Over Broadway at the glittering gem of a theater district called Playhouse Square.
Or, cross over Euclid Avenue to the Hanna Theatre for a rousing production of the childhood classic The Secret Garden or Shakespeare's King Lear.
For those looking for something a little (a lot) less classical, consider tickets to Evil Dead The Musical, where audiences can sit in the "Splatter Zone!" and get drenched from the onstage mayhem (ahem... fake blood).
Make it a full three-day trip to Cleveland with these great ways to celebrate all things love this Sweetest Day Weekend:
- Tour through Cleveland's three robust wine regions
- Enjoy a sexy, sultry weekend at Cleveland's jazz locations
- Explore the simplicity of picturesque Amish Country
- Bike, hike or walk through the 85-mile Towpath Trail
- Get a room with Lake Erie views

Justice Sotomayor Carves New Niche on Book Tour
The Associated Press picture with a New York Times article about Justice Sonia Sotomayor is not your usual Supreme Court photo: At a book-reading event, the judge smiles while giving a bear hug to a 7-year-old girl in the audience. People surrounding the pair watch approvingly.
Justice Sotomayor is traveling widely to read and sign copies of her memoir, "My Beloved World," in a way that the Times says suggests she "wants to play a larger and more personal role in public than her colleagues."
Her readings "have the air of celebratory happenings, attended by entire families, people who left work early to line up for tickets and acolytes who quote her recent interviews from memory," reporter Jodi Kantor writes. Her book has arrived at Number One New York Times best-seller list for hardcover nonfiction. Other justices have written memoirs, sold them successfully and attracted crowds, but they aren't quite like Justice Sotomayor.
Talking to the Times at a Chicago event, she emphasized the importance of serving as a role model, and accorded it greater meaning than her jurisprudence.
"It is my great hope that I'll be a great justice, and that I'll write opinions that will last the ages," she said. "But that doesn't always happen. More importantly, it's only one measure of meaning in life. To me, the more important one is my values and my impact on people who feel inspired in any way by me."
Doing service as a role model "is the most valuable thing I can do," she added. She added at another point, regarding a keen interest in speaking to students, "I would like there to be no child in America who grows up not knowing what the Supreme Court is."
