text: The rating for a teacher's Professional Practice rating will comprise 50% of the teacher's evaluation. The Professional Practice portion of the evaluation aligns with Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching and includes areas such as: Planning and Preparation, Instruction, Classroom Environment, and Professional Responsibilities. The teacher's Professional Practice rating will assess all four Danielson Domains as well as the 22 components within the domains and the 76 smaller elements. Districts using the local model must use the four Danielson domains but may add other criteria based upon local priorities to measure teacher Professional Practice.

Click here for the FULL wedding!
From Mokipotpie: My name is Kianne Hilburn. I am a wedding planner from Berkeley, CA. This summer my dear friend, Jennifer Reagan, and I planned a DIY wedding for her cousin-in-law, Reagan Reagan (she just goes by Reagan) and fiance, Brandon Ward. They are both young, free-spirited, world travelers that live to serve others in their daily Christian walk and adore their families.
The wedding took place in Pilot Hill, California at the private proper and home of the Kosct family (some friends from church). The family property, nestled between golden rolling hills, was the ideal setting complete with oak tree groves, a tree swing, chicken coup, goat pen (with goats!) and vineyards on the neighboring hills.
They wanted a wedding that represented their California (Reagan) and Texan (Brandon) roots and was distinctly "them." Instead of a traditional wedding they opted to have the ceremony under a great oak tree in the backyard. The reception was in a field on the other side of the property. Our goal was to create a homemade, bohemian, summer wedding that was warm and inviting. Even though the wedding took place in such an open and expansive place, we wanted it to feel small and intimate. We created an "indoor out" feeling by adding vintage furniture in key areas, stacks of books (like a library) on the tables, and lights, banners and yard globes in the trees to section out and clearly define areas.

New Milford finance director questions turf field funding
NEW MILFORD — The plan to install artificial turf on two of the high school's athletic fields hit a snag Monday night when the town's finance director requested time to further consider funding options.
The Town Council planned to discuss and possibly take action Monday on setting a special Town Meeting for Oct. 20 for residents to decide on using $4 million from the Waste Management Settlement Fund to pay for the fields, track renovations and field lighting at the high school.
However, no one had discussed with Finance Director Ray Jankowski how the project should be funded.
"Taking an appropriation from the Waste Management Fund would reduce 10 percent of the balance that town revenue is based on," Jankowski told the board. "No one informed me that this was going to be on the agenda. I would recommend bonding the project, but I'm not prepared to talk about that tonight."
Pete Bass, chairman of the Artificial Turf Field Construction Committee and Town Council vice chairman, said the push to get the funding secured is needed to send out bid requests by November. Bass said bids received after that time are expected to be more expensive.
Despite a push from Joe Failla, another turf committee and council member, Jankowski declined to explain his thoughts on the funding. The council eventually voted to table the discussion until the next meeting on Oct. 13.
"Our director of finance asked for time," Council member Katy Francis said. "He's not ready to discuss this right this minute. I don't want to rush Ray to act on this before he's prepared."
The Zoning Commission has not yet approved the project's special-permit and site-plan application. The public zoning hearing on the applications that began Sept. 22 was kept open. Zoning Chairman Bill Taylor said some details of the project were not available that first night. He hopes more residents attend the next session of the public hearing at 7 p.m. Oct. 13.
"This is a project that people should see and give the commission feedback on," Taylor said.
The artificial turf fields are proposed to have a sand-and-crumb rubber fill. Luke McCoy, associate with BSC Group, has advised the Artificial Turf Field Construction Committee on the project and provided documentation on the safety of the crumb rubber.
"No negative health affects were found," McCoy said at the Sept. 14 Town Council meeting. "They found carcinogens, but at such a low level, it doesn't affect you. Eighteen studies have found it to be safe. Organic fill requires more maintenance and has to be kept moist, but on heavy rain events will clump and needs time to be reworked and conditioned."
McCoy has also recommended a new eight-lane track and lighting for the stadium and the practice field at the high school since both would have artificial turf and be available for night games.

Read the entire article here.If you visit Stambaugh Middle School on Monday afternoons, you might believe you somehow stepped into Hogwarts - the fictional boarding school of magic from the popular Harry Potter books and movies.However, the only magic that's being made at Stambaugh is helping students develop a love for reading.This year, teachers at Stambaugh started the Harry Potter Book Club with the intentions of targeting the school's least interested readers. "The key is to get them engaged," said the school's principal, Robert Hartley.Harry Potter apparently did the trick because the club has grown to more than 140 members since it started almost two months ago.Students meet after school every Monday."You get a kid to stay an hour after school, one day a week to read - that's cool," Hartley said.In anticipation of the upcoming releases of the two-part "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" movies, staff members chose the Harry Potter theme for this year's club, said Nicole Sealey, a reading teacher and one of the club's co-sponsors."The books grow with the students. They start out shorter, and they start out easier. As the kids progress through the series, the books become more challenging," Sealey said.While the goal is for students to learn to appreciate reading, students who read all seven of J.K. Rowling's Potter books and do well on quizzes, showing their reading comprehension, will get to visit Islands of Adventure's new Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction in Orlando at the end of the school year.When the club meets each week, students are separated into four groups or houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin - just like in Harry Potter.Together they participate in activities such as dramatic readings, making house crest badges and competing for house points. Student can receive points for their houses in a variety of ways throughout their school days, including good behavior, citizenship and participation.Focusing on reading skills, students participate in activities such as writing book and movie reviews, which help them learn how to compare and contrast.

Danbury garbage executive James Galante turned himself in to the state police Friday morning to face charges of making nearly $40,000 in illegal campaign contributions, as a third political figure acknowledged being the recipient of $8,000 in questionable money.
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, a Republican, said Friday that one of his political action committees received money from Galante in 2003 that was disguised through third-party, or ``straw'' donors. Sources familiar with the campaign finance case said this week that Boughton got the money in October 2003.
Earlier in the week, the same sources said that Republican state Sens. Louis DeLuca of Woodbury and David Cappiello of Danbury each got $15,000 from Galante in 2002 under similar circumstances.
No charges are contemplated against the three political figures. Like Boughton, both senators acknowledged receiving money, but said they were not aware the contributions had been ``bundled'' by Galante, as is alleged.
In cases of bundled donations, individual contributors typically exceed the legal $1,000 contribution limit by passing money through third parties. Galante is accused of contributing the money in $1,000 increments through employees of his various trash businesses, their family members or their friends.
Galante, 54, of New Fairfield, turned himself in at the state police barracks in Bethany at 9:30 a.m. Friday. State police said he was charged with three counts of making illegal contributions to a political committee and three counts of corrupt practices. He was released on $50,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned in state court in Hartford on Oct. 24.
Boughton said Friday that his campaign staff had no way of knowing that third-party donors were acting as conduits for Galante contributions.
"We've accepted thousands of donations from thousands of contributors and we assume that the name on the check is the person that donated the money,'' Boughton said. ``In fact, we send a personal thank-you letter to each person. I was absolutely unaware that there was anything wrong with any donations.''
As Danbury's mayor, Boughton has worked closely with Galante, whose network of trash-related businesses is a major presence in the city. In particular, the Boughton administration worked with Galante on issues related to the rehabilitation of a city ice rink where Galante's minor league professional hockey team, the Danbury Trashers, played. Boughton dismissed local critics who said the city bent rules to rush approval of an occupancy permit for the rink. Boughton also said he is not close to Galante socially.
"I'm sure he has donated or bought a ticket to some campaign event of mine in the past,'' Boughton said. ``But he's donated to lots of politicians all over the state, from Joe Lieberman's presidential campaign to small-town municipal elections.''
Cappiello, who is running for U.S. Congress in the 5th District, said Thursday that he accepted checks personally from a Galante associate and acknowledged giving bottles of wine to Galante and the associate in appreciation. He said he was not aware the checks were illegal at the time, but he reported them to authorities after becoming concerned upon reading a Courant story in June about Galante's contributions to DeLuca.
Democrats and Republicans battled bitterly Friday over the potential political fallout for Cappiello, a Danbury Republican who is challenging U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, D-5th District.
The Democrats charged that the issue would clearly hurt Cappiello politically, while Republicans downplayed the matter and said it would be forgotten when voters cast their ballots in November 2008 -- 13 months away. The state Democratic chairwoman, Nancy DiNardo, demanded Friday that Cappiello return the ``tainted campaign cash immediately,'' but called a reporter less than an hour later to say she had just learned that the political action committee had already donated all of the money to charity.
Cappiello said in a telephone interview that the PAC donated the money over the past month and a half, including $2,500 to St. Jude hospital in Tennessee and $2,500 to actor Paul Newman's Hole In The Wall Gang Camp, a well-known charity in Ashford.
``Once the red flag went up, I did what I thought was the right thing,'' Cappiello said. ``I can't see into the future [regarding the congressional race]. All I know is I will be able to run on my record in Hartford.''
Cappiello said he could not have known in advance about Galante's actions. In the same way, Cappiello said, Murphy could not have known about one of his contributors, Jeffrey Bourke, who pleaded guilty last week to embezzling nearly $2 million from his employer, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
A Murphy spokeswoman declined to comment on Galante's contributions to Cappiello. But longtime Democratic political strategist Roy Occhiogrosso said the Galante situation could only hurt Cappiello in a tough race against an incumbent.
``He already is taking on a difficult task, and this will not make it any easier,'' said Occhiogrosso, who is not working for Murphy. ``If most people in the district don't know you, and the only thing they read about you is you're attached to Galante and Lou DeLuca, it's not good for you. If this were a one-day story and it went away, it probably wouldn't be that bad. This is not a one-day story, and it's not going away. ... There's never a good time for this to happen if you're a candidate. Period.''
On the other end of the political spectrum, Republican State Chairman Christopher Healy said he believes the Galante story will fade away, adding that Murphy has been involved in questionable matters, too.
`` Chris Murphy's MoveOn.org blood money is a lot worse than what has come out about Sen. Cappiello,'' said Healy. He was referring to television commercials last year by the liberal organization against then-Congresswoman Nancy Johnson, portraying her as having been caught ``red-handed'' for one of her votes in Congress. One of the ads connected Johnson to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, though there was no connection. Murphy defeated Johnson in the campaign.
Healy added that he is not worried about any political fallout.
``I'm very confident this will all be forgotten very quickly,'' Healy said. ``This is an inside baseball story that doesn't get to first base.''
DeLuca said through his lawyer that he did not knowingly accept illegal contributions and knows of no one who is accusing him of doing so.
The filing of campaign finance charges should have a minimal legal impact on Galante, who already faces substantial prison time if convicted of an array of federal racketeering, tax and other offenses.
Galante is accused in a federal indictment, returned in June 2005, of using New York mob muscle to carve up the western Connecticut trash business and inflate prices. He denies the charges and is scheduled to be tried in a year.
Galante's lawyer, Hugh Keefe, called the campaign finance charges, brought by state prosecutors, relatively minor.
``I'm not sure what the motive of the prosecutors is and was in bringing it in view of the pending federal case,'' Keefe said.
DeLuca also faces potential political problems as a result of the Galante contributions. His seat in the Senate already is in jeopardy following the disclosure that he asked Galante to "pay a visit" to a man he said was abusing his granddaughter. Additionally, DeLuca's campaigns have benefited from thousands of dollars in Galante contributions.
The threatened visit never took place, but DeLuca was convicted in June of conspiracy to commit threatening. He is scheduled to appear Monday before a special legislative committee that will recommend to the full Senate whether he should be expelled from the state legislature or otherwise sanctioned.

OGDEN — Testimony given in court Monday made it clear how lucky a shooting victim is to be alive and how close the accused came to being charged with murder.
At about 1:30 a.m. June 18, 2016, two men walking home from an evening watching live music on 25th Street got into a shouting match with three men who came running across Washington Boulevard to confront them, Weber County Attorney Christopher Shaw said. As the men faced off, witnesses heard four pops, and one man collapsed near 2730 Washington with gunshot wounds to his upper chest, abdomen, clavicle and left forearm.
RELATED: 19-year-old charged with attempted murder after shooting man 4 times in Ogden
Patrick Bobby Galindo Jr., 20, stands trial in connection with the incident this week before Judge Ernie Jones in 2nd District Court. He's charged with attempted murder, a first-degree felony; first-degree felony discharge of a firearm; and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, a second-degree felony. Jurors were selected Monday morning, and testimony from the state's witnesses began in the afternoon.
A witness to the shooting, Philip Graham, testified he and his girlfriend were walking south on Washington Avenue, just 100 feet ahead of the victim and his friend, and heard yelling from across the street. The two men behind them yelled back. All were shouting "typical fight words," Graham said.
The three men eventually came "sprinting" across the street to confront the two men walking behind Graham and his girlfriend, Graham said. Graham said he heard "pop-pop-pop-pop," and the three men ran "immediately back northwest on Washington to where they came from."
Graham called 911 and approached the victim, who he could see was struggling to breathe. Graham said he took off his shirt and "plugged the bullet holes I could see, one on his hip and one in his chest." He said his girlfriend removed her sweater to continue applying pressure to the wounds.
Graham testified that, when interviewed as part of the following investigation, he did not pick a suspect from a lineup of mugshots Ogden police showed him because he didn't see any of the three men's faces clearly enough in the dark. He said he could only say they were "Hispanic" because of their accents.
Ogden police officer Cody Wright was one of the first emergency responders on scene. He testified to the shape he found the victim in and described doing CPR.
"He was just this gray, ghost color, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the sky," Wright said. "I don't know who's done chest compressions here, but it's a heinous task, feeling bones moving around and breaking ... I heard gurgling sounds in his throat, and after about 20 compressions, he tried to breathe."
Soon after, paramedics arrived and took over the life-saving efforts.
Other witnesses included members of Weber Metro Crime Scene Investigation who processed bullet casings and a gun retrieved from in between a fence and a building northwest of the crime scene, as well as a trauma surgeon from Intermountain Healthcare who described the three surgeries the victim underwent to survive the ordeal.
Galindo's attorney, Randall Richards, asked the jury to follow the judge's instructions to keep an open mind until they've heard all of the evidence. He said police lied to Galindo in their interrogations to coax a confession from him and that Galindo has an alibi witness who will testify later in the week.
"There are pieces of evidence that I will bring in that will establish that my client didn't do it," Richards said.
The victim in the case watched the proceedings from the front row. Outside the courtroom after court was dismissed for the day, he lifted his shirt to show Graham a scar on his chest, smiling wide. He put his palms together underneath his chin and said, "Thank you so much."
The victim's mother said this was her first chance to meet the good Samaritans who helped save her son's life.
The proceedings will resume tomorrow, Thursday and Friday in 2nd District Court.

New Multi Cat for Briggs Marine
Mon, 04 April 2016
UK-headquartered offshore services provider Briggs Marine and Environmental Services is adding to its fleet of multipurpose vessels with the ordering of a Damen Multi Cat 2712.
Fife-based Briggs Marine offers an interesting range of marine services including: vessel charter; diving and salvage services; renewable energy support; and emergency response and consultancy services. An indication of the diverse nature of its activities was the awarding in 2012 of a seven year contract from Transport for London for operation and maintenance of the Woolwich Ferry on the river Thames.
The core of Briggs Marine's activities is however providing marine support services and this latest addition, to be named Forth Warrior will join two other Damen vessels in the fleet, the Multi Cat 2611 Forth Jouster and 62m anchor-handler Kingdom of Fife. Since its delivery the latter has been working on a £100m contract providing maintenance and mooring support to the Royal Navy.
Damen's Multi Cat range are known for their versatility and the 27m Forth Warrior (the largest in the Multi Cat range) will be capable of involvement in multiple activities including windfarm support. Features of interest include DP1 capability and a four-point mooring system with removable winches each holding 320m of wire. Safety and efficiency is enhanced with 360' visibility from the wheelhouse which as standard is offset allowing maximum availability of deck space. Shallow draught will allow operations close to shore.
Graham Gray, Operations Director of Marine Assets at Briggs Marine said: "Briggs has a reputation for delivering high quality, cost effective marine solutions in diverse challenging environments on time and in budget. Therefore it is important to have a highly versatile fleet that can provide a wide range of services with excellent utilisation. The last few years have seen an uplift in business, especially in the growing offshore renewables market, and Briggs believes that investing in its expertise and marine assets will provide an ongoing reliable service to this growing and expanding industry." It is hoped to report on the Forth Warrior in more detail in a future Tugs & Towing column once the vessel enters service.

Organizing Business in Orange County by Marla Stone, MSW, Professional Organizer
Early on as a Psychotherapist I realized that relationship building and communication was the key to having better results with my clients. Now as a Professional Business Organizer and Coach I understand that helping people understand what they value in life, besides a paycheck and their favorite sport or tv program, is the most important part of becoming an organized, high producing human being. Once a person figures out what they value in life, then and only then can they set goals.
When I ask people "What do you value in life?" I usually end up with blank stare and a shrug. People are so out of touch with what they really want in life, and it tremendously affects their behavior, motivation and drive. If you don't have goals to reach a valued aspect of life, what's the point?
When a person figures out they value being rich, status, spirituality, leisure time, time with their loved ones, health, vacations, gardening, athletics or whatever ticks their tock they will be able to set achievable goals. Detailed goals, on getting more of what someone values, and then fulfilling the goals will get you that time to buy a nicer watch, go on a speaker circuit tour, start a successful business, read and finish a book, lay out by the pool, more time in the sack, better food options, Tahiti, and or a blossoming tomato plant. Thinking and even talking about the things you want (value) is not enough. Once the things you value manifest you are more inclined to be a better partner, parent, friend and or employee. Knowing the difference between what you want or need will lead you to understand what you value.
Below are three language challenges that will stop Peak Performance
The most important way to increase productivity, stay focused, get the most out of employees, increase revenue and feel a calmness to your business is to change the language therefore changing the behavior.
Below are steps to take to have an organized working environment

NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries Maritime Heritage Program
Vernon Smith
May 21, 2009
NOAA archaeologists will be in the Florida Keys this month training members of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers in underwater archaeology as part of a new education initiative to explore the maritime heritage of African-Americans and engage the community in marine resource conservation.
"By telling the many stories about African-Americans in seafaring, naval service, and the maritime trades, the project inspires a rediscovery of African-American maritime roots," said Tim Runyan, NOAA maritime heritage program manager.
Fifteen participants will be taught the science of maritime archaeology and learn basic underwater surveying, recording and mapping techniques during the May 22-24 training course. The course will include classroom and fieldwork exercises on a shipwreck in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, and stress the importance of conservation and preservation of the nation's underwater cultural heritage.
NABS member Bill Murrain said the dive group's commitment to education and public outreach aligns perfectly with the African-American "Voyage of Discovery" education and outreach initiative coordinated by the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.
"African-Americans have made significant contributions to the country's maritime history and the archaeological training course will give NABS an opportunity to help bring this history to a wider public," Murrain said.
The training is also part of a larger NOAA effort to create a cadre of skilled volunteers who can assist with archaeological field work and historic research occurring within the National Marine Sanctuary System.
NOAA's Maritime Heritage Program and the Nautical Archaeology Society developed the training course to introduce divers to the field of maritime archaeology. Since the training program began, about 20 people have been trained as volunteer divers, seven of whom have become members of the national marine sanctuary volunteer diving program.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources. Visit http://www.noaa.gov

HAMMOND, La. (AP) - Tyler Beatty threw for 368 yards and five touchdowns as Southeastern Louisiana beat Texas State 49-24 in the Southland Conference opener on Saturday.

Yarborough finished with 114 receiving yards and three TD receptions for the Lions while Jones added a 2-yard rushing touchdown for the first score of the game for Southeastern Louisiana.
Tyler Arndt threw three interceptions for Texas State in the loss.

Social Media is a crucial part of today's online business success.
I've often said, "Social Media Rank will be bigger than PageRank ever was." We're already seeing evidence of that.
If you're not on social media, and leveraging it to the hilt, you're missing out on a lot more than just a huge increase in traffic!
You want to be cautious about getting caught up in the "social time suck" though, and make sure your time is invested in a way that gets you fast results.
And for this, you need a strategic "Social Media Marketing Plan".
This Tuesday, August 27th, I'm going to "share my social media secrets" in a live training session you'll definitely want to attend...
Time: Noon Eastern, 9am Pacific
Duration: 90-120 minutes
Format: Live Audio/Video Training w/Interactive Replay
Details: Join in live to learn how to use social media, set up your goals & objectives, a checklist for your social media profiles, what to share and when to share it plus the finer details of HOW to share it. Learn about creating "share bait" and how this works, with live examples. AND - get a very detailed inside look at Lynn's "secret strategy" for networking with merchants and brands, connecting with market leaders, and "leveraging competition" to your advantage. 😀
Create Your Social Media Marketing Plan Live!
Some people are resistant to using social media. Some have embraced it, but haven't quite figured out how to use it properly. And then there are people who are extremely active on social media channels, but aren't seeing the results they expected. Perhaps you fall into one of those three camps, or maybe you're just getting started and want to get on the fast track to results.
NOW is the time to get on board, or take your Social Media Marketing to the next level. Social Media is absolutely booming, and it's where your target market spends most of their time online.

The primary goal of this project is to test our core hypothesis that brain iron accumulation in Huntington's disease (HD) promotes disease onset and progression. HD is an ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease that afflicts about 30000 people in the USA alone and has no effective treatments. CAG-repeat expansion within the huntingtin gene results in expression of a polyglutamine-expanded mutant huntingtin protein leading to a number of downstream effects including energetic dysregulation, aberrant glutamate signaling, iron elevation, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and eventually neuronal degeneration and loss. There is growing evidence that dysregulation of iron homeostasis contributes to the pathogenesis of HD as well as ALS, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Surprisingly however, little is known about how this occurs in HD and to what degree iron dysregulation contributes to the overall disease process. We have shown for the first time that iron accumulates in mouse HD striatal and cortical neurons, regions where there is significant degeneration. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) has a key role in neuronal iron export. We show significantly decreased levels of APP as well as its iron export ferroxidase activity. We have also demonstrated elevated iron in an inducible mutant huntingtin expressing cell line and shown that nNOS inhibition reverses this. These interesting and important findings point to a link between nitric oxide, APP and iron in HD and form the basis for the proposed studies.
Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that nitrosative stress mediates decreased APP protein levels resulting in elevated iron which potentiates neurodegeneration.
In Aim 1 A we will determine the effect of genetic modulation of APP on outcomes in HD models.
In Aim 1 B we study the effects of nNOS inhibition on HD outcomes including APP and iron. We will use transgenic and full-length mutant huntingtin mouse models as well as HD cell lines and primary neuron cultures.
Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that nutritionally relevant elevated iron intake potentiates brain iron accumulation and neurodegeneration in HD mice. The studies will provide important insights into mechanisms of iron dysregulation in HD. Findings will determine the extent to which dysregulated iron in HD brain potentiates disease;they may validate APP as a novel therapeutic target as well as provide insight into modulatory effects of dietary iron in HD.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease that is caused by a mutation resulting in a polyglutamine expansion within huntingtin protein. There is growing evidence that mutant huntingtin protein disrupts iron homeostasis in HD and that this contributes to disease onset and progression. The goal of this research is to elucidate mechanisms of iron dyshomeostasis in HD and to identify therapeutic approaches that may have protective effects in human HD patients.

Guide to Create a Website: Domain Registration,Hosting and WordPress Installation
Creating a website is something all most all web entrepreneursand Bloggers know but if you are fond of the web world, you must have wanted to own a site of your own. However, here we are to teach you the procedure to purchase a domain, get hosting and install WordPress.
Domain Registration with Godaddy
First of all, go to godaddy[dot]com and search for an available domain name by typing your desired domain names on the 'Search' box that is situated in the middle of the webpage. Check for the availability of a perfect and appropriate domain name.It may take some time as your desired domain names may be registered earlier.
Like, in the above picture, I searched for a domain name "bharatwebactivities" which was available under [dot]com extension. But, godaddy also suggested me with some more extensions of the same domain name. So, you can use any extension according to your purpose.
I was lucky to get the domain I wanted along with the domain name I desired and may be you could be lucky too. If you aint lucky enough, you gotta spend some time searching for a name or you can prefer to use the same name with other extensionsuch as .net, .org, .info, .tv, etc.
Now, click on 'Add' and once it is added, check mark 'Only Domain,' click on 'Add' below and then click on 'Continue to Checkout' on the right. The next window displayed asks you about 'What you want to do with your Domain' and you need not do anything here, simply click on 'Continue.'
On the next window, you have to choose the term for your domain, like I have chosen '1year' in the image below. Then click on 'Proceed to Checkout.'
On the next window, you need to Sign In if you have an account or else click on 'Continue' under New Customers. This will take you to the page where you need to fill up all your details and Billing information.
Fill all details starting from name to address.
Then scroll down the page to fill all you billing details such as the paying format you are comfortable such as Credit/Debit/Prepaid Card followed by your Credit card number, Security Code, Name on Card, etc.
Go through the Terms of Service and Registration Agreement documents carefully and then click on 'Checkout Now'with which the domain is yours.
Hosting with Hostgator
Firstly, go to Hostgator[dot]com and click on the 'View Web Hosting Plans' situated in the middle of the webpage as shown in the image below.
This takes you to a page where you find some hosting plans, specifically – Hatchling Plan, Baby Plan and the Business Plan. Go through the details of each plan and choose the one you want and desire to host with.
In the picture above, I selected to host with the Baby Plan to set an example before you of hosting with Hostgator. So, when you select the Baby Plan, the next webpage comes up just as shown in the pictures below.
Here, you need to first checkmark the 'I already own this domain' tab followed by entering your domain name in the blank below just as I entered "bharatwebactivities.com," the domain I had just purchased from Godaddy.
Then, select the Package type as 'Baby' and then select the Billing cycle that you are comfortable and affordable with. Next, enter a username which should not contain capital letter, values and special characters but should start with a letter and should be 2 to 8 characters long just as I have used 'abcdwxyz' in the below picture. Likewise, enter a Security Pin that should contain only numbers being 4 to 8 characters long just as I have used '12345678' in the image below.
Next, fill up all your details for Billing and Payment information in the given appropriate blanks.
Then, use the coupon the coupon that you find valuable just as I have used DOMAINSALE in the image below. Check for other coupon codes that avail some good and beneficiary offer. Go through the Terms and Conditions, checkmark the box and then click on 'Create Account.'
With this, you've got the hosting for your website and you will get an email with some information on your login details and passwords from Hostgator. Place all these information in a safe place so that you get access to them later at the time of use.
Well, you may have to wait before proceeding for the next activities as Hostgator has to confirm the hosting setup from their side.
Wordpress Installation
WordPress is a simple platform for websitesavailable at no cost and is used by beginners to skilful web developers. WordPresshas been known as the best content management system for all blogs and websites as it is easy-to-use, customizable and accompanies a good number of tools.
WordPressavails a good number of free and effective themes and so you do not have to hire anyone to design or develop themes. very search engine friendly, install different plugins, make your website more visible in the search results.
Installation is quite simple as Hostgator has its own WordPress installer. Anyways, the first thing to do is navigate to the control panel (cPanel) and this you can do by entering your URL as – http://www.yourdomainnamehere.com/cpanel
To assist your control panel, Hostgator will send you an email featuring your login details so that you can log in to your control panel. When, you log in, you will get a window just as in the picture below.
Now, in the Software/Services category, click on 'Fantastico Deluxe'in order to install WordPress.
As shown in the picture below, next, you need to click on 'Wordpress' and then click on 'New Installation' tab and with this, you will be asked to enter a password and username before installation. Enter your details.
Finally, click on 'Install WordPress'and with this, WordPress will get installed to your website. You get access to your website with the default theme but you can change it while operating the wordpress.
WordPress Setup
Now, login to your dashboard by entering your URL as – http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin
Then enter your login details and you will get access to your WordPress dashboard just as in the picture below.
There are some main tabs on which you should focus much and they are Posts, Pages, Appearance, Media, Plugins and Settings. Once you've worked on these, know that you have successfully designed you website.
So, this is how you build your blog or website and now you have learned the procedure to buy a domain from Godaddy, get hosting from nmnHostgator and install WordPress.

>> Fun with LCDs
One of the things we focus on at Internet Vision Technologies is giving our customers insight into how well their business processes are operating. Seeing what is happening within a business in real-time, or close to it, can be tremendously powerful in terms of closing the feedback loop and giving people a sense of control over where things are going. Not just a "sense" of control, either: real control based on facts, not hunches. Sometimes it's like the difference between driving a car with a blindfold on versus being able to see!
We do this through online systems of course (we're a web app company, after all) but last week I saw a blog post about Panic Software's status board and thought it would be good to do something similar internally. There are all sorts of reports available through our intranet (KPI reporting, ops statistics, project management reports, financial reports, etc) but the problem is that you have to actively go looking for them. Putting some basic facts and figures up on the wall gives it far more immediacy and keeps drawing people's attention to it.
Since a friend of mine is clearing out a bunch of hardware prior to travelling overseas I bought three 22" LCDs from him, and last night I stuck them up on the wall in the central area of the IVT office. A few simple web pages running off the intranet displayed using Google Chrome in full-screen mode, and this is the result:
Very cool!
The left screen is showing the current task queue in our bug / feature request tracking system, broken down by category. The objective of the game is to push all these down toward 0.
The center screen shows Twitter updates that mention IVT or our products, followed by a few odds and ends of data including the number of physical hosts currently running; the number of Xen VMs running; the number of EC2 VMs running; current temperature in Melbourne; number of Brillianz customers (yes, it's a low number - that's because it's not publicly released yet); revenue generated by Brillianz; number of live SB4 sites; and revenue generated by SB4.
The right screen shows a live view of the Arduino-based energy monitoring system running in the office. There are lines for power consumption in each of the workstation pods; building lighting; aircon; server rack power consumption; and general power consumption.
I briefly had a Nagios tactical overview screen on the right monitor but the power monitoring system looks cooler and is of more general interest to non-sysadmins. If I had room for a 4th screen it would be up there though!
The cabling still needs a little cleanup but on the whole it's turned out pretty well.
Update: I've started a series of posts explaining how I set up the screens, including details of the hardware and software. Part 1 is up now at Building a Status Screen, part 1: Hardware.

Jeffrey Schwarz's involving biodoc on Vito Russo, leading gay activist, film scholar and author of "The Celluloid Closet," portrays a vibrant, charismatic, remarkably consistent individual, as generous in his personal life as in his political engagements. Via interviews, rare clips and miles of archival footage (Russo always at the forefront of gay rallies, protests or celebrations), Schwarz also makes his subject a dramatic focal point in the history of gay rights from the Stonewall riots to the AIDS epidemic. Docu preemed at the New York fest, launching further fest rounds and possible theatrical play before broadcast on HBO.
Schwarz freely shifts among the familial, social and political facets of his subject, benefiting from the fact that these qualities were in sync. Russo recounts in a lengthy interview how he embraced his homosexuality at an early age, refusing to feel religious guilt or social shame. According to Russo's brother Charles and cousin Phyllis, both featured prominently, the family quickly accepted his gay lifestyle.
Such was emphatically not the case of society at large in the '50s and '60s, even after Russo moved to Greenwich Village. Montages of newsreels and newspaper headlines attest to the stigma, raids, arrests and suicides that ruled the day.
Following the 1969 Stonewall riots, where drag queens and homosexuals first stood up to police harassment, and the subsequent rise of Gay Pride, Russo assumed a major role in the Gay Activists Alliance. The group staged theatrical protests targeting organizations that promulgated homophobia, from the church to city hall to mass media.
Russo proved a strong voice for inclusion of people with all types of sexual preferences and behaviors when the movement threatened to splinter. Schwarz includes an excerpt from 1973's Gay Pride Day in which angry lesbian feminists accuse drag queens of degrading women while Russo tries desperately to impose solidarity, finally summoning Bette Midler, a familiar face at the Baths, to placate the crowd.
A lifelong cinephile, Russo also established gay film nights, finding that sharing movies with like-minded audiences created a sense of community (they all laughed in the same places). His exploration of images of gays in films, presented worldwide as a popular illustrated lecture years before "Celluloid Closet" was finally published, was groundbreaking.
Schwarz channels Russo by providing a plethora of vintage silent and early-talkie clips, from a comic bit featuring two laced-trimmed, swishy waiters to a "problem movie" titled "Different From Others," revealing the range of queer characters that routinely popped up in films before the Hayes Code explicitly prohibited not only their depiction but even any reference to their existence. Code-dictated cinema offered more indirect, metaphoric imagery as homosexuality became increasingly visualized as frightening or tragically self-destructive, Schwarz supplying a rough approximation of the original Russo lecture's famous gay "death montage."
After the bestselling "Closet," Russo became the first official gay celebrity, regularly making guest television appearances and hosting his own public TV program "Our Time." But AIDS takes centerstage in the last section of the docu, as Russo, now afflicted with the disease that felled countless friends, publicly fights government indifference to the epidemic.

The NEW "From Classroom to Career" Initiative Launched at Fairfield
What can you do with a liberal arts degree these days? Anything you want, according to Fairfield University's new From Classroom to Career initiative, a four-year road map for students looking to get a solid education and plan for the career of their dreams.
The initiative – with advice and goals specifically tailored to each of 16 departments in the Fairfield's College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) – aims to give students concrete steps to build on their classroom work for each year of their college experience, helping them discern how their studies will translate to a meaningful career.
"We always emphasize how a liberal arts education is the best – and the most practical – education for students due to its emphasis on transferrable skills such as critical thinking, writing, problem-solving, and interdisciplinarity," said Robbin Crabtree, Ph.D., dean of CAS. "Even though our alumni know this to be true, our current students (and their parents) who have chosen liberal arts education seem to forget it, as the pressures of the job market and the uncertainties of the current economic climate converge."
"While we must continue to emphasize the inherent value and lifelong relevance of the liberal arts, we also want to ensure students (and their parents) that we in the College of Arts and Sciences are very aware of their desire to be career ready when they graduate."
From Classroom to Career dovetails with Fairfield's Jesuit mission, which emphasizes educating the whole person. The University provides dozens of ideas to increase career readiness, while giving the student the reins of control.
James Simon, Ph.D., associate dean of CAS, who oversaw creation of the initiative, said the program helps prepare students broadly for future jobs that don't yet exist today. Today's students will need to be able to pivot and change directions as the job market shifts in the coming decades.
"The program reminds students that they – not their faculty advisor, not Mom and Dad, not Career Planning – are in charge of their own future," Dr. Simon said. "They need to start freshman year and dedicate time every semester to learning outside the classroom and pursuing their passion in different ways. Come junior and senior years, they should get job experience through internships, leadership in campus clubs, summer jobs and volunteer opportunities. As graduation nears, students should reflect on these experiences and decide how to capitalize on their strengths and address any remaining weaknesses."
From Classroom to Career offers online guides specific to each year of each major, as well as information for undeclared students. For instance, freshman English majors are encouraged to attend a Majors Night to talk to faculty and alumni about careers open to them and to begin considering research and graduate school opportunities. Students are given real-life testimonials from recent graduates about what they learned during their job search. By junior year, they are given advice on tying together internships and other pre-career opportunities, such as summer jobs, to build the skills they need to secure a job and succeed in their chosen fields.
The initiative augments services through Fairfield's robust Career Planning Center, which offers mock and real interviews, resumé advice, networking opportunities and a host of other resources for students in the College as well as Fairfield's professional schools and graduate programs.
While most colleges offer students career planning services, Dr. Simon said he believes From Classroom to Career gives Fairfield students an extra edge.
"Fairfield is ahead of other peer schools in having students build on their classroom work, look for other campus experiences that tie into their potential 'dream job,' then test their skills through a variety of job experiences," he said.
"By graduation day, most students who start this process early and dedicate time to it should have a package of experiences that will be attractive to an employer who wants new hires to hit the ground running, not need a lot of training, and be the 'new blood' that can immediately add value to the company."

Guu is one of the most popular izakayas in Toronto, and this isn't my first time here. But I made sure to try dishes I've never had before.
First up was the Salmon Natto Yukke, which consists of chopped salmon sashimi with "7 friends" namely natto, takuan, shibazuke, scallion, cucumber, garlic chips, and a raw egg yolk.
Your server will help you mix all the ingredients together until it looks like this slimy little glob.
You're given pieces of seaweed and you just wrap it up like this and eat it!
This was definitely a very interesting dish. I've never eaten a raw egg yolk before and I was not particularly fond of the texture as it was super slimy.
This was so delicious! We opted out of the cheese and could not imagine how it would taste like with cheese. I think we made a wise decision to not add in the cheese.
Okonomiyaki is a deep fried Japanese pancake with squid, tonkatsu sauce, and karashi mayo.This dish was my favourite dish of the night. It tastes exactly like the description and the sauces were a great compliment to the dish. I would order this again!
I love pork belly but the sauce was really heavy so I was very glad we ordered the bibimbap as I paired the two together when eating it. I also took some of the lettuce they gave to wrap the pork belly (like the Koreans...) and that was delicious!
Can't wait to come back for some more dishes!

SSN reporting that OGS will not be Villa manager..
More when we get it.
Just also seen..
@StanCollymore: BREAKING Ole Gunnar Solskjaer staying at Molde. #talksport
Nothing official as yet by the way folks.
The Associated press, see: www.winnipegfreepress.com are also now claiming that Solskjaer won`t be looking to move from Norwegian club Molde.
Solskjaer held his usual news conference today and said that, according to this report, that he still has two years left on his Molde deal and isn't "on the look-out for a new job."
But then, why come over and talk?
And now I`m sure everyone will slate the board and say he has turned us down before knowing any facts.
Rawlie just said as below:
There's a Villa fanatic / journalist over there called Andreas Meide, who I'm following on Twitter (@andymeide) and he didn't see it like that at all. He's worth a follow as is Jan Aage Fjortoft (@JanAageFjortoft) , who's a pundit in Norway now. It just sounds like Ole's playing his cards close to his chest until Sunday's game is out of the way.
It is important to remember that Ole hasn't been offered any job yet. He might not have impressed, he might have. We don't know. He might have come over to test the waters and decided he wants to stay in his hometown and allow his kids to grow up there.
OR it might change, he might be offered a job and take it.
I can't understand the heartbreak for some on this one, I'd rather we gambled on our own Lionheart.. Martin Laursen!
ESPN Solskjaer added: "I have an ambition to be a manager in the Premier League, but I'm not seeking a new job. In football, and in life in general, things turn up that you have to make decisions about. I have a contract for two more years and I'll stand by that."
Tweet from his Norwegian strike partner….who was interviewed yesterday on SSN about OGS.
Jan Aage Fjortoft ?@JanAageFjortoft
My feeling: If Aston Villa offer Solskjær the job, Solskjær is Villa- manager 1st of June. #avfc #talksport

Of 27 abortion bills considered by the Missouri legislature this year, one stands out. Republicans made it a top priority. Abortion rights advocates fear it most.
The bill wouldcreate one of the nation's longest waiting periods
— three days — after a woman's initial visit with an abortion provider before the procedure can be done. That would triple the current 24-hour waiting period.
An exception for medical emergencies is already included in current law, but not for rape or incest. Senate Democrats attempted to add those exemptions this week, but their efforts were thwarted by the Republican majority.
Only Utah and South Dakota have similar 72-hour waiting periods in place.
"Having an abortion is an elective procedure. Elective surgery," Sen. David Sater, a Cassville Republican, said when introducing the bill in committee earlier this year. "I want the patients to have plenty of time to be able to have an understanding of what they are going to have done in the elective surgery."
Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey, a St. Charles Republican, said Thursday that if Democrats continue to filibuster the bill he will employ a rarely-used procedural move to force a vote. Known as a "previous question" motion, it hasn't beenused to kill a filibuster in the Senate since 2007
Senate Minority Leader Jolie Justus, a Kansas City Democrat, said she's still hopeful it won't come to that.
"I'm trying to get them to focus on any bill other than this one," Justus said. "I've said, 'Let's pass five other pro-life bills instead of this one.' That's how bad I think this bill is. But so far, this is still the Republican majority's priority."
To proponents of the bill, three days isn't too long to wait to terminate a pregnancy.
"We hope it gives (a pregnant woman) more opportunity to weigh her options and hopefully not have an abortion," said Sam Lee, president of Campaign for Life Missouri. "This helps women and saves the lives of unborn children."
But the bill has provoked vehement opposition. Critics say the waiting period represents an unconstitutional obstacle for women seeking to have a legal medical procedure.
"The implication that a woman seeking an abortion hasn't put any thought into the decision and needs state government to step in and protect them is insulting," said Ryann Summerford, a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Missouri.
The constitutionality of the 72-hour waiting period has not yet been fully tested in court. Planned Parenthood sued South Dakota over the issue. In 2012, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to stop the law from taking effect. But thatlawsuit was eventually dropped
Summerford said many women already drive great distances to the only Missouri facility that performs elective abortions, located in St. Louis. A three-day waiting period would impact low-income women the most, she said, because they cannot afford the transportation, time off work, or child care needed to schedule multiple appointments.
"This is simply an attempt to restrict abortion services by making it harder for women to gain access," she said.
Clinics just across the Missouri state line in Overland Park and in Granite City, Ill. — 15 minutes from St. Louis — would not be subject to the 72-hour waiting period.
The bill overwhelmingly cleared the Missouri House in March and it's been brought up for debate twice in the Missouri Senate. Both times it has run into a filibuster by the chamber's nine Democrats.
Last Tuesday, Democrats offered an amendment that would exempt a victim of rape and incest from the waiting period.
"This (waiting period) just victimizes them further," said Sen. Paul LeVota, an Independence Democrat. "It's just three days to further reflect and be reminded of a crime they were a victim of."
The amendment was ultimately defeated on a 22-9 on a party-line vote.
"Should the unborn child of a rape victim have a different life or be less important than another unborn child?" Sater asked shortly before the amendment was defeated.
Sater has long opposed adding rape and incest exemptions to the bill.
If the Senate passes the waiting-period legislation, it would go to Gov. Jay Nixon. The Democrat has three times during his tenure passively allowed abortion restrictions to become law by refusing to either sign or veto them.
Justus said the reason the bill scares her so much is the precedent it may set. If the bill becomes law and survives the inevitable court challenge, "state after state after state is going to follow our lead and implement a 72-hour waiting period."
"All eyes are on Missouri right now," she said, "and if we go down this path I fear it will spread across the country."
House Speaker Tim Jones, a Eureka Republican, said ina recent radio interview
that Missouri must "protect life" or else it could "run out of citizens, it would run out of taxpayers and the state would cease to exist."
Tripling the current waiting period to have an abortion, Jones said, is not an unreasonable burden.
"I don't think 72 hours, three days, is too much time to bring another life into this world or not."

Izzy's Apple-Cheddar Dog Biscuits from Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart has a fun idea for new treats for your pet. This week we'd like to show you one of our favorites, and we hope it becomes of your favorites, too. This recipe makes about 16 servings.
You'll need:
2 cups of barley flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/3 cup shredded cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lining a baking sheet with some parchment paper just to make your clean up extra easy is always recommended.
2. In a bowl, combine all your ingredients and stir. Add about 3 tablespoons of water to finish off your dough.
3. Roll your dough in plastic wrap to about ¼-inch thick. Once you're done, removed the plastic wrap and cut out the biscuits. Martha Stewart recommends a 3 ½ inch bone-shaped cookie cutter, but we say use what you have on hand. Keep re-rolling your dough scraps until you've run out.
4. Lay biscuits an inch apart on the prepped baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until firm.
5. Set biscuits out on a wire rack and turn the oven off. Once the oven is mostly cooled down, put biscuits back in and leave in the turned-off oven overnight. Remove the next morning and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

So much for a fresh start.
The team of companies passed over by a selection committee in the second round of bidding on the $546.5 million contract to build a new terminal at Louis Armstrong International Airport has filed a protest with the New Orleans Aviation Board.
The complaint, filed by NOLA Airport Builders, marks the second time the joint venture not recommended by a selection committee has protested the panel's decision. In May, it was competitor Hunt Gibbs Boh Metro crying foul when a different committee recommended the NOLA group for the job.
The Aviation Board responded in June by tossing out that round of bids, saying a fresh start was needed to ensure the process wouldn't devolve into a contentious — and probably litigious — dispute.
But Monday's filing makes it apparent that neither team is ready to go down without a fight in the battle for the giant public contract, on which the Aviation Board is scheduled to vote later this week.
NOLA Airport Builders, which applied in the previous round under the name Parsons-Odebrecht, said in its protest Monday that in four instances the Hunt Gibbs group didn't provide the documentation proving team members met the contract requirements, which alone should have disqualified it.
But NOLA also said its own credentials in two categories — cost and participation by disadvantaged businesses — weren't scored correctly by the committee. NOLA said the percentages it submitted for participation by woman- and minority-owned businesses and the dollar figures showing how much of the contract would be dedicated to actual construction both were higher than those submitted by Hunt Gibbs.
"The review committee, however, inexplicably and incorrectly scored NOLA lower than HGBM for those categories," attorneys for NOLA wrote in their petition.
The NOLA protest also said Hunt Gibbs' submission in the first round didn't meet all the requirements and that the Aviation Board violated public bid law when it threw out the scoring committee's recommendation in June.
The two groups' original proposals actually tied in the evaluation committee's first scoring vote, setting up a second tally in which Hunt Gibbs' score dropped, making Parsons-Odebrecht — the previous incarnation of NOLA Airport Builders — the winner.
After that round was thrown out, Hunt Gibbs did not significantly alter its proposal, while Parsons-Odebrecht shored up its minority contracting credentials while also changing its name.
NOLA also complained that one of the scoring committee members is dean of the Tulane School of Architecture, and that Robert H. Boh, the chairman of Boh Bros. Construction — one of the four companies making up Hunt Gibbs Boh Metro — is an emeritus member of Tulane's board and "it appears the university receives considerable support from the Boh family."
A spokeswoman for Boh Bros. said that as an emeritus member, Robert Boh isn't active on the Tulane board and hasn't been to a board meeting since 1993.
Spokeswoman Ann Barks also noted that while the company has made donations to Tulane's former School of Engineering and the new football stadium, it has not given anything to the School of Architecture.
The Aviation Board is scheduled to take up the selection committee's recommendation Thursday.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu has said he wants to see the terminal completed in time for the city's tricentennial celebration in 2018, although the delay in picking a contractor has placed that goal in doubt.

Please inquire about start dates here.
About the cleanse...
Christine's cleanse was great!
The smoothies/juices/soups were delicious and the daily salad satisfied my need for chewing! Most of all, it reminded me to drink more water and listen to my body. Bonus: I lost a few lbs in the process!
-Nikki F. June, 2016
This was the perfect January reboot that I needed after a crazy holiday month. Christine was right there at my door the night before we began with the most beautiful glass jars of soups, teas and juices that kept me full and happy for three days. I'd done commercial cleanses before, but they spiked my blood sugar and left me crabby. Christine's were made with such love and tasted so good. The portions were generous and I loved that we could add a healthy salad when my mouth needed to crunch on something.

Donatella Versace Continues to Spark Concerns About Too Much Plastic Surgery
May 9, 2014 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Sam Stets | Leave a Comment
At the recent Met Ball gala, the stars took the opportunity to wear outrageous couture and show off their stunning figures. Amongst the hoi polloi was Donatella Versace, whose thin frame and plastic surgery sparked a Twitter storm. Sporting a mermaid shaped gown of her own design, Donatella showcased her tiny cinched in waist and the ill effects that too much tanning has taken on her skin.
59-year old Donatella Versace set Twitter ablaze with comments about the fashion diva's bizarre appearance, which was commonly attributed to "too much surgery."
One Twitter user wrote: "It's such a shame Donatella Versace has ruined her face with plastic surgery."
Another wrote: "Donatella Versace's face actually scares me. ……..The plastic surgery looks really good hunny."
And yet another said: "Donatella Versace's cosmetic surgery has gone too far."
Although Donatella's plastic surgery looks to be fairly extensive, the fashion designer has only admitted to using Botox injections.
In 2012 she admitted: "[In terms of Botox...] only on my face, not on my body, that's the result of hard work."
Later, in 2013 she said that looking young was the result of experimenting with creams and concoctions to stay young.
According to Donatella, "I'm not like this genetically. I use tons of cream and take care of my hair and skin."
While Donatella may only admit to Botox, it looks as though she has much more work, including a possible nose job, lip augmentation using lip implants, and a facelift.
Although nose jobs are usually done to make a nose smaller, Donatella's has grown larger over the years. It is also wider and flatter and slightly crooked, indicating that at least one bad nose job took place.
In addition to her big nose, Donatella also has large lips, like the trout pouts of the Hollywood divas the designer dresses. Although the fashion icon has always had big lips, the oversized upper lip indicates that fillers, like collagen, have been used liberally.
Donatella's skin is very firm, indicating a possible facelift.. Her tight face is a strong contrast to the loose skin on the rest of her body.
Extreme weight loss over the years has made Donatella very thin and her skin is very loose and hangs on her body. Gaining weight could actually make Donatella appear younger and healthier at this point, and would also help make her obvious breast augmentation a little more natural looking. Due to the weight loss, Donatella's implants look painful and pulled, rather than full and perky as they did when she had a curvier figure.
Years of bleaching her hair has also aged Donatella as her hair looks to be thin and lifelifess. She also appears to have embraced the runway trend of bleached eyebrows, which Miley Cyrus sported for a brief moment. Wearing heavy eye makeup paired with a neutral face and limp locks also contributed to her sickly appearance.
Hopefully Donatella will eventually find some inspiration in food and maintain a healthy weight.

The Abia State NSCDC Commandant, Walter Chika, who confirmed the incident revealed that the abandoned child was rescued by the Anti-Traffic Unit of the agency near a health centre in Avodim village in Umuahia South Local Government Area of the state.
The NSCDC Commandant urged young women to avoid acts that could result into pregnancy if they are not ready to take responsibility as abandoning children under the disguise of inability to care for them was a criminal act and against the right of the Nigerian child.
Discussion was ongoing with designated ministry to take responsibility for the child, he added. Source: Channels TV

MUSIC: Ghostface Killah Hits Up The Met
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Sour City
Sour City kicked off the show with a quick performance that showed a lot of energy, unfortunately the crowd was very stifled. I did like it though, "Deal Or No Deal" highlighted the set that had the duo jumping up and down like their feet were made out of pogo sticks. Hopefully next time I see Sour City perform they can electrify the crowd as much as they electrify themselves.
A local MC who always knows the secret formula on how to get people hyped, Jahpan came up next and set the night on fire with sick beats and lyrics that hit you like a brass knuckle followed by a freight train. "Spotlight", "Rock Night" and "Providence" were part of a rhymetastic spectacle that had people loving every minute of it. Jahpan has a new album titled Sex, Drugs & The Weekend coming out later in the Summer. Get your hands on it and listen to real hip-hop.
Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn
This was when things got all kinds of crazy, it's usually not typical at a hip-hop show to see a bunch of middle aged dudes along with a guy with dreads wearing suits but Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn straight up brought the groove. Imagine a sound that mixes the styles of acid funk, the soundtrack to a Dario Argento film and every 70's progressive rock band you can imagine to create truly magnificent music, and these guys made that a reality. "Lovely Lady", "Anna May", "Two Hearts Combine" and "It's Me" was truly refreshing, I'm pretty sure that I just found my new favorite band. Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn has an album titled Something About April and I'm going to get it as soon as possible so follow my lead.
Ghostface Killah
Venice Dawn then got dressed up in all these weird costumes wearing cloaks and masks and Adrian Younge proclaimed the storyline to Ghostface Killah's new album Twelve Reasons To Die, taking place on the streets of Italy in 1968 with Ghostface's alter ego Tony Starks and his crime family going to war with the rival DeLucas. Venice Dawn did an eerie introduction and then Ghostface Killah came through the darkness spitting "Beware Of The Stare". You could feel the vibe and it was alive with "Rise Of The Black Suits", "I Declare War", "Blood On The Cobblestones", the Wu-Tang classic "Protect Ya Neck" that had two guys competing to see who could rip the late Ol' Dirty Bastard's lyric the best followed up with "Ice Cream", "Holla" and "Enemies All Around Me" that had fellow rapper Killah Priest joining the fray.
Ghostface Killah and Killah Priest went backstage because "reportedly" the DeLucas were backstage, Venice Dawn then got the crowd energized with a rendition of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" and then Adrian told everyone in the audience to hold up their lighters. A group of creepy looking girls in red hoods and white make up came on stage with Ghostface and Killah Priest joining them to do "Rise Of The Ghostface", "Impossible", "Tearz" and "Iron's Theme - Conclusion" to end the best rap performance I've ever seen. You think they were done yet? Of course not. They came back with "Mighty Healthy" and "C.R.E.A.M" to conclude a time that I will never forget.
The night was simply amazing and I was left picking my jaw off the floor. You gotta listen to Ghostface Killah's Twelve Reasons To Die and I guarantee it'll be the most groundbreaking hip-hop record to come out in years. While you're at it, pick up the comic book that tells the storyline that goes along with the album. After you read this review you're probably kicking yourself for missing a fantastic hip-hop show, log on to themetri.com so you never have to deal with that particular feeling ever again.

Technology giant Samsung saw profits leap by 41 per cent in the first quarter thanks to a surge in sales of its smartphones.
The South Korean company made a net profit of 7.15tn won (about £4.2bn) for the period, up from 5.05tn won a year ago, in a bitter blow for rival Apple, which this week announced its first profit slide in nearly a decade.
According to the figures released today, Samsung's revenues fell slightly on the previous quarter, down 6 per cent at 52.87tn won (about £30.6bn), though profits were up on the last three months of 2012.
The company's thriving smartphone sector has been behind much of its success with its smartphone and mobile communications sales leaping 7 per cent on the last quarter to 32.82tn won (£19bn), accounting for around 75 per cent of the company's profits.
However Samsung predicted that growth in smartphone sales would stay flat in the coming months amid intensifying competition in the lower and middle sections of the market, before picking up in the second half of the year.
Robert Yi, head of investor relations, said: "We may experience stiffer competition in the mobile business due to expansion in the mid to low-end smartphone market."
Samsung's latest smartphone offering, the Galaxy S4, which goes on sale in the UK tomorrow, allows users to control the screen using their eyes is said to pose the greatest threat yet to Apple's iPhone and is expected to give the company another sales boost.
Samsung's positive results will prove a headache for Apple which earlier this week posted profits of £6.27bn, down £1.38bn from the same time last year.
Jan Dawson, an analyst at research firm Ovum, said Samsung's mobile business performed well in the first quarter of 2013, despite the fact that the previous three months are usually the biggest of the year.
She said: "Certainly it looks like year-on-year growth was much higher for Samsung's mobile phone unit than for Apple's iPhone segment. That's a testament to the broad appeal of Samsung's device range compared with the relatively high-end focus of the iPhone.
"It's also helpful that Samsung has device launches throughout the year, which help to keep demand going on a more consistent basis, whereas Apple suffers from strong seasonality.
"It also increased profits significantly both year on year and quarter on quarter in that business unit, in contrast with Apple, although Apple's margins are likely still much higher in its phone business.
"The next quarter should see a rise in marketing spending around the launch of the Galaxy S4, which may impact margins, though shipments should also go up."
Bryan Ma, from research firm IDC Asia Pacific, said Samsung was doing "very well right now", leading to consumer excitement about its devices and wariness among competitors about what it will do next.
"Some of the initial reviews around the Galaxy S4 might have been a little bit mixed, but nonetheless there is still a lot of excitement around it," he told the BBC.
"I think that with everything we have been seeing from them over the past few months, and more importantly going ahead, they are still the competitor to beat."
