Spanish Beard
Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides)layered graphite drawing on mylar
36″ x 14″
Spanish moss has long held a fascination for me; I often pull handfuls off branches to idly make cords with in the same way some people make daisy chains. Yet, it's not until Northerners visit and marvel at it hanging from the trees that I feel such pride in having it in the landscape. Those of us that live here trade facts about it.
"It's not really moss you know . . . it's an air plant."
"Closely related to pineapple from what I hear."
"Pretty sure it's not even from Spain . . ."
I object.
"Perhaps you are wrong about that. It's well known that when the Spaniards arrived after their long journey, a few of them fell into deep obsession with some of the pretty native women and began earnest pursuit. The women -being fast thinkers and entirely uninterested in the furry faced men following them- climbed up into the oaks and the Spaniards climbed up after them. Much to the dismay of the men, their beards became hopelessly tangled in the branches. As they struggled, the women climbed down and escaped, but the poor lovelorn explorers stayed high in the trees. They eventually passed away, but their beards remain and continue to grow and spread from tree to tree."
Everyone nods thoughtfully save for my young nieces who scowl, forever skeptics.

Upcoming Exhibition: Surfacing

SURFACINGMay 4th - June 15th
reception May 4th 4-7pm
alt_space gallery
Atlantic Center Downtown
123 Douglas Street
New Smyrna Beach, FL
My exhibition of recent work opens next weekend at alt_space gallery, The Atlantic Center for the Arts' new downtown space to showcase contemporary work in New Smyrna Beach, FL. It is my first out-of-town solo show and the work reflects my first year of graduate school research. Really this show should be called resurfacing as I feel like I'm emerging from hiding. My work is shifting quickly these days, though it still feels tied strongly to my thread work. If you are in the area, please come by to say hello and see what I've been up too.
"Atlantic Center for the Arts features a storyteller who finds language "unreliable". "Surfacing" is an intriguing exhibition that combines the two and three dimensional works of Gainesville, FL artist, Erin Curry. Pieces included in this display are the result of her fascination with marks, traces, and codes drawings can contain, as she grapples for means to decode the space around her.
Curry's work is a combination of drawing and sculpture with a consistent reference to storytelling. Within her art, she expresses her fascination with language and the difficultly in translating experiences adequately. "The fullness of experience is too complex", says Curry, "the present moment, memory, and our expectations all intersect. Try as we might, something is always lost in translation."
"Surfacing" is the third exhibition within the newly created alt_space gallery. The gallery name, short for alternative, was formed to feature Florida artists working in the genres of installation, emerging media and other non-traditional art forms. The exhibition includes two recent series: "what I might have said" and "News". Both collections derive their forms from paper objects: the first from origami balloons, the second from the Arts section of The New York Times.
On her process, Curry explains, "What I might have said, responds to a paper origami balloon I kept in my pocket over several weeks. The paper balloon functions as vessel for breath, as well as potential container for words and phrases that cannot be adequately articulated. The air in them becomes pregnant with possibility. The drawings borrow their compositions from the creases left in an unfolded balloon. The marks found in each panel are systemized codifications of text from an old book never read. The marks become asemic, suggesting story and cadence, but denying specifics. They abstract into constellations, map-like and star-like at once."
News is a collection of tracings of the arts sections of the newspaper onto translucent mylar. The pages fill with empty boxes and only navigational cues remain. Text directs the viewer, but where? The remade newspapers hang perpendicular to the wall and shift slightly in the currents of a room like boats in harbor. How might these emptied pages suggest orientation in a sea of information? Like the newspapers once found in libraries these objects are meant as reference material to be handled and with repeated viewings the pages will pick up smudges from readers reflecting the reader's activity back to them".
Erin Curry is a current MFA candidate in Drawing and Sculpture at the University of Florida. She is a Florida native and founding member of Art Lab, a collective for emerging artists in Gainesville, FL.
The exhibition "SURFACING" will open with a reception on Saturday, Saturday, May 4, 4 - 7 PM. Erin Curry will be present for the reception. This exhibition will run through June 15, 2013 and is free and open to the public. Atlantic Center for the Arts alt_space Gallery is located at 123 Douglas Street in New Smyrna Beach, FL. For details visit www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org or call 386.423.1753. For additional information on the artist, visit her blog at www.sculptress-studio.blogspot.com or follow her on Facebook www.facebook.com/ErinCurryArt
In Partnership with the monthly Downtown Arts District Gallery Walk, the Food Trucks will be rolling in. 20 Food Trucks will arrive for the event to draw new attendees and bridge the art organizations participating. The caravan of savors will be stretched from Arts on Douglas on Magnolia Street to The Hub on Canal Street. Items to be served rage from Tacos to Lobster and will be available for purchase from 3 PM to 9 PM. "

Though most of my work is made alone in the studio, I depend on a whole community (including you all!) and am thankful for each person's presence in my practice. As my work attests, words tend to fail me, but I will try anyway. I'd like to extend particular thanks to The Atlantic Center for the Arts and Arts on Douglas for carving out a protected pocket in your community, and Meghan Martin for hosting my work and working with me to put this show together. Thank you to the staff and volunteers who make the space possible. Thank you to Lauren Lake for your tireless feedback and support as always; I'm going to miss you terribly. Thanks to Ed Valiant for your labor and joy and to Tommy for always being present when I need a little extra help, even if I don't realize it.

I wonder if anyone has consdered RF modules for a satellite. I have been playing with a module called "Easy Radio" It takes care of the pre-amble, bit flipping and CRC. Freq = 433.900 MHz They put out in the order of mW, but I put a 30 watt amp on the end and wow ! The data burst is 180 characters max, and it takes around 25ms to send. These are cheap, they cost around $80 for a full data transciever. It would eliminate a whole lot of stuff on a board. I used them for a glider tracker. Anyway here are some photos of what I am talking about. http://www.tech-software.net/glider_tx.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Rich VK4TEC _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com.

Suture workshop - Surgical Interested Group
The Surgical Interest Group (SIG) at the West Virginia University School of Medicine (WVU SoM) has recently become much more robust, inclusive, diverse, and active. Over the past two years, a significant amount of time and effort have been put into developing programs to introduce students to surgical fields earlier within the curriculum, through a variety of lecture and simulation based sessions.
The group caters mostly to MSI and MSII students and exposes them to general surgery and all of the surgical subspecialties. Surgical faculty involvement with activities has markedly increased over the past year and is now vigorous and growing. MSIII and MSIV students have recently been incorporated as educators in the curriculum to assist with suture workshops and simulations and to provide advice for USMLE studying and residency application.
Lectures over the past two years are well attended (by 30-50 students) and have included speakers from specialties such as: trauma surgery, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, otolaryngology, general surgery, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, surgical oncology, urology, colorectal surgery, orthopedics, breast surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery. In addition, each year the group holds multiple simulations utilizing the state of the art West Virginia Simulation Training and Education for Patient Safety (WV STEPS) Center. http://www.hsc.wvu.edu/steps/ These simulations include a suture workshop each fall (attended by nearly 100 students annually), a robotic simulation in the winter, and surgical simulations each spring (with endoscopy, laparoscopy, suture techniques, and central line insertions).
The WVU SoM SIG is also dedicated to giving back to the state of West Virginia. For each simulation, students volunteer to provide canned goods and personal items to donate to local charities, In addition, medical students help provide information to the general public on the Stop The Bleed Campaign (https://www.dhs.gov/stopthebleed), common sources of trauma in our area (four-wheelers, bicycle helmets, etc), and breast cancer awareness at University sporting events. Finally, students also volunteer their time in collecting and donating medical and surgical supplies to local surgical mission organizations.
Success for the WVU SoM SIG cannot be measured solely by the number of students who match into general surgery or surgical subspecialty residencies. Although, as an aside, that number has risen substantially in the last several years. Rather, success is defined by activities for students that are both fun and educational and raise the awareness for surgical disciplines in the eyes of all students. In addition, the group has excelled at connecting students to faculty members early on in medical school, creating lifelong mentors to help guide them through their careers.

Jail a new church-state option for bishops?
Terry Mattingly
"I could see myself going to jail possibly at some point over the next 15 years, if God spares me, if I speak out," the 61-year-old bishop told STV News.
The Market Is an Ecosystem
Joy Pullmann, Values & Capitalism
Farming, like a free market, is an ecosystem. No action a businessman takes is without consequences. My uncle, for one, knows crop farmers suffer when dairy farmers suffer, because both depend financially on exchanging their goods (crop farmers get money, dairy farmers get feed for their cows, which eventually becomes money).
Is This Really the Worst Economic Recovery Since the Depression?
Catherine Rampell, New York Times
Economists often assert that we are in the worst recovery since the Great Depression. Are we? Not technically, but it's still unusually bad.

Are we turning a blind eye to a government-sponsored movement that creates false community, drains money, and undermines dignity for those most vulnerable among us?

Did you ever think about moving to Texas?
Only thing wrong with moving here to Texas is that the air conditioning bills are a little high in the summer. Probably not high enough to make up the difference in what she is paying for propane, though. I have done the same thing she did, and quit using propane and started just heating the rooms we stay in the most with electric space heaters,and even here in Texas it it much cheaper. Folks who are lucky enough to be on a natural gas hookup can use gas without too much expense over electricity, but the propane would run me about $300 or more during the winter here!

In a presentation at the plenary session of the 2015 American Academy of Neurology annual meeting, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, reported success in obtaining pain-sensing neurons from human patients with pain conditions for use in modeling the condition and deriving better therapeutic approaches. Human-derived neurons could soon replace traditional animal models and be used to investigate disease mechanisms with unprecedented insight, according to the research team. Study author Brian Wainger, MD, PhD, stated that the derived nociceptor neurons "are able to mimic the diversity of bona fide nociceptors, and they can model disease-relevant pathophysiologic processes like TRPV1 sensitization in inflammatory pain."
Animal models have heretofore provided a valuable understanding of sensory physiology, but are limited in the extent to which they can capture the complexity and heterogeneity of human pain conditions. The team reported that the derived neurons successfully recapitulated the function of quintessential nociceptor receptors and channels, and that they replicated disease-relevant pathophysiologic processes. Having achieved their preliminary goals, the researchers said the stage is now set for drug screens based on in vitro disease-relevant phenotypes using human neurons and also for the development of novel treatments in the future. "We've seen that the derived neurons can be used to investigate disease mechanisms," Dr. Wainger said. "We hope that these phenotypes in a dish can now be used to screen for novel treatments in a targeted, patient-specific manner."

Unwakeable 1.5.5 is available for download.
Not a whole lot has changed since 1.5.3, but the changes that were made are significant. Unwakeable 1.5.5 is compatible with WordPress 3.1.
The most notable change is the removal of title.gif file. That was the image file with "Unwakeable" written on it that sat in the top left corner. Instead of that image, text is now used. The name of the WordPress site is pulled and used in place of the image. You can see a demo over at the Unwakeable demo site.
I've also added support for custom menus that were introduced in WordPress 3.0. By default, the top menu is a list of pages. If you want to use a custom menu just set one up in your WordPress dashboard (Appearance –> Menus) and set that menu as the "primary navigation".
My goal with this release of Unwakeable was to get it included in the WordPress theme directory. It's still pending approval or rejection in the theme directory. If it's rejected I'll make the necessary changes, bump the version number, and submit it again.
If you're interested in the exact changes that were made in Unwakeable 1.5.5, have a look at the following revisions in subversion:
The latest revision is r135 but that was just to tag the 1.5.5 release in subversion.
If you have problems or find something broken, please submit an issue on Github and I'll look into it.

ONE look at this week's results from the West Yorkshire League makes strange reading.
Amidst a calm and peaceful autumn weather-wise thus far, four games were postponed in the Premier. My Saturday was spent en route to Wolverhampton and back for Leeds United's 1-0 win at Molineux and I half wondered if I'd missed a dramatic downpour in Leeds or something.
But the four lost games in the Premier were apparently owing to a lack of referees which has to be a real concern in the top league of grassroots football that we cover.
Saturday's games between Headingley and Pool, Hunslet Club and Knaresborough Town, Ilkley Town and Brighouse Old Boys and Sherburn White Rose and Shelley were all postponed at the weekend which is exactly what the grassroots football doesn't need in light of previous seasons' fixture pile-ups.
The weather has by and large been kind so far this term but rest assured that will change before long.
When it comes to grassroots football, weekend wipeouts are commonplace with seasons often extended to the end of May and even nearing June due to fixture congestion.
There is, though, little you can do about the weather.
But when games are called off due to a lack of referees it really is a crying shame, as Knaresborough Town's Andy Pickles alluded to on Twitter.
He Tweeted: "Been involved in @WYAFLOfficial for 14 years, never had a Prem game postponed for lack of refs @HunsletClub @KnaresboroughFC off #shocking.
But a reply indicated that the current predicament is the same in many other leagues and moreover a sign of the times. There are many issues that need looking at in the grassroots game and a lack of referees should be top of the pile. As we saw at the weekend, without them there is quite simply no game.

Did you know that Disney International Programs helped build the foundation of cast members for the highly anticipated Shanghai Disney Resort? In the summer of 2015, 700 International participants from China began their Disney journeys at the Walt Disney World Resort by learning from state-of-the-art operations, guest service standards and cast member culture. With a valuable education and successful completion of an International Program, this allowed many of those cast members to join the opening teams for the Shanghai Disney Resort.
For cast members opening an entirely new park in a new country, it took a lot more than just learning the Four Key Basics and the ins-and-outs of Disney Parks. Instead, it took truly embracing the culture and meaning of being a cast member and representing the values of Disney. Ning and Zihe did just that with the start of their Disney journeys at the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Magic Kingdom Park.
From day one, Ning and Zihe saw the passion that drove their fellow cast members to provide positive guest service, as well as the support the Mine Train cast members showed for one another in what they call 'Mine Family'. Both agreed that learning from their fellow Mine Family was their favorite part of their Program. Ning said, "We became very good friends, and it's them that helped me become a better cast member and even a better person." Having the support of her Mine Family, Zihe said, "I learned to be myself, and be kind and patient towards guests. I also learned that when I have questions it's okay to ask others for help because we are all here to support one another."
Carrying the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort over to Shanghai, Ning now works as a trainer at Shanghai Disneyland's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and facilitates "Welcome to Operations" for new cast members.
Zihe sprinkles her pixie dust as an entertainment character lead by keeping shows magical and on time.
Although the Walt Disney World Resort and the Shanghai Disney Resort may be far away in distance, with cast members like Ning and Zihe, it's a smaller world after all!

Is Bush stupid
Posted in Real Life on September, 30 2004 8:48 PM
Satire is a wonderful medium. It is a way to have fun with the famous people of the day. Every once in a while a clown comes into the spotlight that needs no satire, no spoof or intentional ridicule. We, in the world of satire, have been handed a huge gift in the President of the United States, George W. Bush.
Is Bush stupid? You bet he is. He is dumber than an old dead tree stump. If you ever get the chance to really listen to him speak, you'll soon understand that Bush is nearly illiterate. He even has trouble keeping his thoughts together in a coherent manner.
This is not satire. While this is a satire medium, I wanted to show that Bush needs no help in spoofing himself. The following are actual quotes from the most powerful man in the free world. Please, read these and then tell me that the previous sentence isn't truely scary.
"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well." -George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2001
"The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants." -George W. Bush, Jan. 2001
"I've coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically." -George W. Bush, speaking at the Radio & Television Correspondents dinner, March 29, 2001
"I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure." -George W. Bush, Jan. 2001
"Then I went for a run with the other dog and just walked. And I started thinking about a lot of things. I was able to - I can't remember what it was. Oh, the inaugural speech, started thinking through that." -George W. Bush, in a pre-inaugural interview with U.S. News & World Report.
Nope, Bush needs no satire writers to make him look stupid. But his ignorance
sure does make him an easy target for us.

Don't Miss 2012's Only Total Solar Eclipse
A total eclipse in 1999. Photo: Wikimedia Commons
The first total solar eclipse since July 2010 will begin around 3:35 p.m. ET today and last for about two minutes. If you miss it, you won't be able to experience another until March 2015. According to tourism officials, more than 50,000 people in Queensland, Australia, are expected to watch the event unfold. (It'll only be visible from small slivers of the island continent's Northern Territory, Queensland, and empty stretches of the Pacific Ocean.) But many, many more can watch from their offices and homes around the world thanks to a number of organizations that will be streaming the eclipse live online. The feed below, provided by Cairns Eclipse 2012 on USTREAM, will begin around 2 p.m. ET.

BALTIMORE — As the Red Sox try to hold off the Rays and reach the playoffs, they will have to do it without Kevin Youkilis.
Before last night's 6-2 loss to the Orioles that erased the Red Sox's wild-card lead, Boston manager Terry Francona was pessimistic about the chances of Youkilis returning to the lineup anytime soon. The third baseman hasn't played since Sept. 15, and is dealing with both a sports hernia and hip bursitis.
"He's trying so hard, but he's pretty sore," Francona said. "He did a little light running [Sunday] and he's pretty sore.
"I don't think we've pulled the plug, but, to be realistic, though, I think it's an uphill battle."
In Youkilis' absence, the Red Sox have been playing Mike Aviles and Jed Lowrie at third. Lowrie played last night and, after going 2-for-3 with a double and triple in Sunday night's 7-4 win in 14 innings over the Yankees, he hit a solo home run to lead off the fourth inning that gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead. He finished the game 1-for-4.
After Jason Varitek was hit in the knee by an Ivan Nova pitch in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader in The Bronx — which forced him to leave the game two innings later — the Red Sox captain was a late scratch from last night's lineup.
Francona had said before the game that Boston's other catcher, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, would follow Varitek to the pregame bullpen session, in order to make sure that Varitek would be able to make it through the game without incident.
"He was having a tough time," Francona said. "We had sent him out early. We wanted to see if he'd loosen up, and kind of kept abreast of it while he was loosening up and he said this wasn't a good idea."
Varitek, who was walking with a limp after the game, said he did not know if he would be available for today's game.
Then, Saltalamacchia left the game in the bottom of the eighth after a foul tip caught him on his collarbone. He was taken for X-rays, which were negative, and he was replaced in the lineup by rookie Ryan Lavarnway.
"The loss is a lot worse than the stinger," said Saltalamacchia, who went 0-for-4 before leaving the game. "It kind of missed everything. It didn't touch the chest protector around the collarbone.
"I want to [play today]. I've just got to come to the field, get treatment and throw and see how it feels. I'm pretty sore right now. Hopefully it gets better overnight."
As added insurance behind the plate, the Red Sox called up catcher Luis Exposito from Triple-A Pawtucket before last night's game.
Francona confirmed left-hander Erik Bedard will start tonight for the Red Sox against Orioles rookie left-hander Zach Britton and left-hander Jon Lester will start for Boston on three days' rest against right-hander Alfredo Simon on Wednesday.
"I've got a lot of faith," Beckett said after the game. "I've been with Lester for a long time, and I don't think there's anybody I'd rather have out there. [Bedard] has done a good job since he's come over here. He's had some tough luck."
Francona didn't expect Bedard to be limited in tonight's start, despite lasting only 2 2/3 innings in his last start on Sept. 20 after missing over two weeks with left knee soreness and a lat strain.
With a single leading off the bottom of the sixth inning, Orioles designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 2,587th career hit to move past Julio Franco and become the all-time hits leader among players born in the Dominican Republic.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
Kyle stomped on the brake and jerked the wheel to the right as the maniac on the bike barreled toward him.
The figure in black and red whipped by, his loaded backpack brushing Kyle's newly detailed convertible. Something metal bounced against the side of the car like a dud missile, rolling under the chassis. He slammed the heel of his palm against the wheel. No one touched his baby.
"Hey!" he shouted as a horn blared. The cyclist darted out of the path of another car, wobbling on its suicide trajectory against New Orleans traffic. "What's wrong with you?"
The bicycle skidded to a stop. The front wheel popped up and pivoted around as the rider deftly maneuvered it like a rearing show horse. A horn blared, and the driver of the car the cyclist had barely dodged rolled down the window, shouting obscenities. The cyclist studied the ground, frowning, eyes masked by reflective sunglasses. He looked up briefly and screamed an obscenity right back.
Jesus, the cyclist was a woman. All that lean muscle, plus the helmet and high-cut cycling top had effectively hidden any evidence of her femininity. Not that her being a woman subdued his temper. Kyle yelled, "Hey, lady, are you nuts?"
She ignored him as she walk-rode her bike back between the stalled lines of traffic, searching under the cars she'd passed. The driver who'd screamed at her started to get out of his car, swearing and waving his fist.
This was going to get ugly, and the cyclist had no idea the man was stalking toward her. "You're riding on the wrong side of the road," Kyle told her when she was within earshot. The driver from the other car continued yelling but was hesitant to stray too far from his vehicle. Kyle popped his seat belt, ready to intervene.
The woman scrambled off her bike and leaned it against the driver's-side door. "What are you doing?" He fought the urge to shove her bike off the side of his convertible.
"I dropped my water bottle." Her voice was smooth and sooty, tinted with an accent that definitely said not from around here. She got down on her hands and knees and reached under his car. Kyle got an eyeful of backpack, booty and muscular calves, and his ire was momentarily forgotten.
"Dammit." She crawled back up. "I can't reach it. Could you move your car?"
He blew out a breath. "Listen, lady, you can't ride against traffic. It's dangerous."
"No, it's not." She said it matter-of-factly, without the slightest trace of defensiveness or irony. "I can see what's coming, and so can you. I don't see what you're worried about-you're the one behind two tons of steel." She rapped on the side of the car.
Kyle's temperature peaked. "Don't. Touch. My car."
She blinked, gave him an apologetic smile and lifted her bike off the door. "Sorry. Can I please get my bottle now?"
Her flippancy reminded Kyle of his sister, Jessica. He frowned deeply. He was not going to let her get to him-or have the last word. "Listen. I don't know where you're from, but in this city, you ride on a bike path and follow traffic laws. Otherwise, I can't say what'll happen. Not everyone is as nice as me." He glared pointedly at the driver who'd gotten out of his car-the man looked like he still wanted to club her over the head. When Kyle narrowed his eyes at him, he stomped back into his vehicle.
The woman noticed the exchange. She lifted her chin a fraction, acknowledgment and challenge clear in her strong, stubborn jaw. He couldn't see her eyes behind the mirrored lenses but felt as if he were being studied by a predator. "Of course. You're right. I apologize." Her full lips tilted up.
A jolt of surprise hit him. He'd expected her to put up more of a fight, maybe scream at him in a fit of bipedal road rage.
The traffic ahead was moving again, and the cars behind Kyle honked. He quickly buckled up and inched his vehicle forward, giving the woman enough space to retrieve her battered aluminum water bottle. She swung a leg over the bike and started to go with traffic, staying right next to Kyle's side-view mirror. When he finally regained his speed, she kept up with minimal effort, legs pumping. Flashes of her well-sculpted body danced in his peripheral vision.
He braked for a stoplight. She halted at his elbow.
"Do you mind?" She flashed bright white teeth. "No."
"You're following way too close."
"Don't worry. I won't touch your car as long as you drive predictably. Anyhow, it seems safer riding next to you than trying to get around everyone else. And you're obviously a good enough driver that you wouldn't hurt me."
He stared. He didn't know what this woman's problem was, but he was done with her. He was going to be late for work and he had an important client coming.
"I'm taking the next right," he said, then cursed himself for warning her.
"Me, too." She gave him an enigmatic grin.
Kyle gripped the steering wheel, suppressing the urge to yell at her to back the hell off. His heart thudded. Sweat dripped from his brow. The sweltering New Orleans heat was only slightly moderated by the thin cloud cover. He wished now that he'd put the top up and turned on the air conditioner. At least then he wouldn't have to deal with his cycling stalker. He'd have to shower again before his new client arrived. A Fiore was not someone whose hand you wanted to shake when you smelled like balls.
He tried to focus on driving, but the whole time he was ultra-aware of the pilot fish cyclist in her skintight cycling gear. She stayed so close that at stoplights, he could practically smell her-a strangely enticing combination of spice and something like fresh-baked bread. Like a hot-cross bun.
His eyes darted left as she slowed. Staring at her hot-cross buns nearly made him miss his turn. He yanked the wheel right. She arced away from the car, caroming into the next lane. Suddenly free of her, he floored it, speeding ahead and leaving her far behind as traffic closed around her. His tense shoulders relaxed as he pulled into the parking lot next to Payette's, the official Unlimited Fighting Federation's mixed martial arts gym he'd been managing for the past three years.
He grabbed his gym bag from the backseat and headed to the front door. His footsteps faltered as the cyclist coasted to a stop and alighted from the still-moving bike right beside him. She snatched it up as if it were broomstick.
Kyle stifled a groan.
"You left me behind." She took out a sturdy U-lock from her backpack and attached the bike to a stand in front of the building.
Kyle didn't say anything as he continued into the gym.
"Hey, wait up!" The woman's sooty voice dogged him.
"I have somewhere to be," he said without turning. He was used to dealing with hangers-on. Maybe she recognized him and wanted an autograph or something. If she tried to give him her number, he'd be sure to lose it as quickly as possible.
"We all have somewhere to be," she said as he reached the entryway. "It just so happens I have to be right here." She touched his arm. Something electric shot through him, and he whipped around.
"With you."
She was shorter than he'd first thought-five-eight at most. But she was built like a brick house with thick biceps that showed through the stretchy biking top and a trim, tapered waist. He'd been wrong to say that the biking gear hid all her feminine assets, because he could see them clearly defined now. Her grin widened as she unsnapped her helmet and shook out her hair. Long, thick, wavy black tresses slick with sweat tumbled out, barely tamed by an elastic hair tie at her nape.
He shouldn't have been intrigued. Pushy girls weren't his thing.
She stuck out her hand. "Kyle Peters, right? I guess you don't recognize me."
He panicked, searching through his internal catalog of bedroom conquests. He tried to place her face-something about her seemed familiar, but he would've remembered a body like that.
She lifted her sunglasses to rest on the crown of her head. When he saw the glass-green eyes her family was famous for, he knew he'd made a huge mistake.
"Bella Fiore." She extended her hand again, cooler now that she knew what Kyle Peters was really like. Any man who cared more about his car than a human life didn't rank high on her list.
It wasn't even a very nice car.
She watched his expression shift from embarrassment to frustration to regret and then, surprisingly, to anger. "You recognized me and didn't introduce yourself?"
"In the middle of traffic? I didn't think it was the safest place to do so." She kept her smile polite, even though she wanted to laugh at him. The guy was a lot more high-strung than his reputation suggested.
He opened his mouth as if to retort, but then shook his head and pushed into the gym. Bella followed, unable to resist a peek at his shapely behind. It'd been seven years since he'd wrestled professionally, but he still had the great glutes of an Olympic medalist. Actually, all of him was admirable-thick muscles on his upper body, a narrow waist, strong thighs and not an ounce of extra meat visible on him. He was the living portrait of a Greco-Roman wrestler, complete with broken Romanesque nose and dark brown Brutus-style haircut. She wondered idly if he'd ever wrestled naked like the pugilists of those bygone days.
The scent of rubber and sweat filled her nostrils as they entered Payette's. Some things didn't change gym to gym. The main reception area included a few caf tables and a bar where a fridge supplied clients with bottled water, energy drinks and protein supplements. In one corner, UFF merchandise and workout gear-gloves, hand wraps, apparel and so forth-were displayed for sale. A faded sign proclaiming everything at 50 percent off hung askew from the ceiling.
Kyle paused at the front desk where a young woman with dark blond hair gave him a cursory smile. "Morning, boss. You got a call from Hadrian Blackwell." She handed him a slip. Kyle scowled at it as the receptionist-her name tag read Liz-turned a brighter smile on Bella. "Hi, how can I help you?"
"I'm early for my ten-o'clock appointment with him." She hitched a thumb toward Kyle, who continued to stare at the phone slip, his brow bunched.
The receptionist's face brightened. "You must be Bella Fiore. It's so good to meet you." She shook her hand vigorously. "We've been really excited about having you here. I'm a huge fan."
"Of my brothers, my cousins or my grandfather?"
"Of you," Liz said with a light laugh. "But of your whole family, too, of course."
Bella kept her smile modest. She couldn't walk into a mixed martial arts gym and introduce herself without getting a lot of oohs and aahs over her lineage. The Fiores were like royalty in the MMA world.
"Liz, please show Ms. Fiore around. I need to make this call." Kyle barely looked at her as he strode away.
Bella watched him go, chewing on her lower lip. Apparently, Mr. Three-Time Olympic Gold Medalist didn't have to use his manners. But her oldest brother, Marco, had said Kyle Peters was one of the best wrestling coaches around. He'd helped a lot of MMA fighters, including the current UFF welterweight champion, Dominic Payette, for whom the gym was named, climb to stardom. That he was willing to make time for her in exchange for her working at the UFF gym was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
Liz gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Kyle's kind of a bear before his first cup of coffee. And he hates having his morning routine thrown off." She rounded the counter. "Let me give you the fifty-cent tour."
Bella had seen photos of Payette's, but they didn't do the state-of-the-art facility justice. The place was enormous, big enough to fit a full-size MMA cage and a boxing ring on the same floor with room for universal machines, free weights and other fitness equipment. The second floor housed a separate multipurpose martial arts studio covered in thick rubber mats. Mirrors lined one wall. Six men of various sizes worked on the heavy bags chained to the exposed metal beams. One of them looked up and shouted across the room to where a man slouched against a pillar reading a magazine. They both came at Liz's beckoning.
"These are our senior coaches," Liz said as they approached. "Tito's our physical therapist and Muay Thai instructor-" Bella shook hands with the stouter of the two "-and Orville's our judo teacher. Boys, this is Bella Fiore."
"I trained with your cousin Robert a few years ago in New Jersey," Orville said to Bella, a big grin splitting his face. "When I heard a Fiore was coming here, I thought it was going to be him."
"Sorry, you're stuck with me."
"Oh, I don't mean-"
She waved him off, giving him an understanding smile. She didn't mean to sound defensive or self-deprecating, but she knew what everyone was thinking: Why on earth was a Fiore training outside of a Fiore-run gym?
"Rob devotes most of his time to teaching at the family studio in Dallas now," she said. "I'll tell him hello for you." There was no need to explain herself further. No need to get into the details of her break from the family, though people would probably hear about it sooner or later.
Liz led her back downstairs and showed her the ladies' locker room. "I'll let you get changed while
I pull the paperwork together. Feel free to explore, use the equipment, warm up. This'll be your gym, too, for the next six months." She glanced toward the office at the end of the room, her lips pursed. "Kyle's probably going to be in his office for a bit."
"A bit" wouldn't hurt, Bella decided. She needed time to get her head into the game and figure out what Kyle Peters's problem was.

Bet you can't say her real name three times fast? Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Okay, that was a tough one. But I bet you can name three of her chart topping music videos: Born This Way, Poker Face, and Alajendro are just a few from her three smash hit albums to date... and there is no sign she's slowing down!
As famous for her outrageous outfits as her music, Gaga has been put on planet earth to test our perceptions of celebrity fashion. Whether its the micro-bikini in her Poker Face video, or showing up for the Grammy Awards in a giant egg, Lady Gaga is no wilting flower. And even though you may not have a meat dress in your closet, we've got a few ideas to help you put together a great Gaga outfit for your next dress-up event:
Poker Face, AKA The Blue Swimsuit:
Not shy about setting records, Lady Gaga became the first artist to top 6,000,000 digital downloads with Poker Face. An ode to sex and gambling, the video features Gaga poolside at a casino, hosting a party with numerous costume changes. Among them, a blue swimsuit with matching gloves... Time to hit the tanning salon! This officially licensed costume comes with the bikini and gloves, just add attitude!
If you don't happen to have long blonde hair with a fringe, you can pick-up a similar wig easily online, or tap into one of Gaga's other featured hairstyles from the Poker Face video. This tutorial gives a good run-down of the bow-style hairdo she wears:
Lady Gaga is definitely the master of eye make-up, and the Poker Face video is no exception. Check out these tips here... You might have to click through to YouTube to watch this one, but its the best video we could find, so be sure to come back!
VMA Performance Outfit:
In 2009 Gaga performed her hit song Paparazzi at the Video Music Awards. Her outfit of choice was this white and jewelled off-the-shoulder top with matching mask, short-shorts and thigh high boots. It didn't take long for it to get turned into a fancy dress outfit, and this one is pretty legit. It even has built-in black fence net stockings in the boot tops!
We're talking curly, with a flair of pink... why not? Depending how dedicated you are to the look, you can dye your hair platinum, tease it out, and add some pink highlights to the left side. If you don't have the locks to produce the look, be sure to pick up a Gaga Wig online. Add a microphone to your outfit so you can break into song.
It's all about the eyes! Be sure to splash out with Lady Gaga's signature black eyes under your mask. Here's a quick tutorial on getting it right:
Black Sequin Assymetrical Dress
Black Sequin Assymetrical Dress
Gaga appeared on-stage several times wearing this triangular creation during her Fame Monster Tour. The black and silver sequin number was accompanied with a blonde China doll hairstyle (she also wore it several times with long straight hair and bangs), sunglasses, and boots. You don't need a hook-up with a couture designer to take this one to your next party, just scoot over to Costume Box and pick it up online!
Pick your favourite Gaga hairstyle, and run with it. If you want to embody true Lady Gaga style, you won't worry too much about rules or what anyone else thinks. Whatever you do, don't let anyone touch your hair:

Glad there's something girly for Ms.LZ this weekend! hehehe.. thanks to Disney on Ice show!
Usually, if there's no play dates, our weekends are either occupied with family affairs (events/malls/do nothing!) or cheering for Daddy J's rugby tourneys (hmm in fact, it started before we were married, i'm not complaining tho coz i normally enjoy the games and most of the times enjoy watching him being stitched alive!..).
But not this Sunday! (Well, we're still gonna watch his game on Saturday, if he's playing)
As most of us know (from on & on adverts in Astro), Disney on Ice will be in KL again this year, showing on 1st to 3rd April 2011.
This year, we're going to the show with Ms.LZ's besties; Natasha & Iman (plus her Shukran ko-ko & lil sis Ain). Moms & kids outing!

Heineken partnered with over 40 legendary individuals from the worlds of sports, entertainment and art to create a series of unique posters to support Reporters Without Borders, a nonprofit that protects journalists and ensures freedom of information worldwide. To represent the importance of crossing borders, blank white canvases were sent around the world to meet extraordinary people and tell, visually, the story of their journey. From the poster that played fireball with tennis legend Jimmy Connors to the one that went into a live volcano, each poster is a one-of-a-kind artwork, bearing the physical marks of its epic adventure and the creative signature of the collaborator who customized it. The posters were exhibited in a number of Amsterdam locations in April, including the city's most popular galleries and a live event at the Stedelijk, the Netherlands' premier modern art and design museum. They were also displayed on a custom Tumblr site, along with a selection of short films documenting the creation of the series. The posters were auctioned through a built-in eBay tool on the site, and all proceeds were donated to Reporters Without Borders.
Dutch design studio LUST created an installation for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

VCU Wins Third Straight Atlantic 10 Golf Title
Related Links
ORLANDO, Fla.— VCU won its third straight Atlantic 10 Men's Golf Championship title Sunday, carding a 292 in the final round to outlast Richmond and Dayton at Grand Cypress Resort. The three teams entered the day separated by just three strokes.
The Rams, who earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals, had a three-day total of 882 and were led by individual medalist Adam Ball. The senior finished with a four-under 212 (73-70-69) to claim his second straight A-10 medalist honor. Steffen Harm, who was named to the All-Conference team along with Ball, finished second, shooting a 218 (75-71-72). In all, VCU had three players in the top 10 and four in the top 30.
Dayton led the field entering Sunday's final round by one stroke over VCU, while Richmond was three strokes off the lead. All-Conference honoree David Germann sparked the Spiders with an even par score Sunday and an overall tally of 219 (73-74-72). Richmond passed Dayton and kept pace with VCU, but never got the opportunity to surpass the defending champions. The Flyers closed out the round in third with an 896, just behind the second-place Spiders at 889. Richmond coach Adam Decker was voted A-10 Coach of the Year by his peers for the Spiders' performance during the regular season and at the championship.
Germann was tied for third overall with George Mason's Eric Edwards, who shot a 219 (72-72-75) and was also named All-Conference. The 2016 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, Jack Lang of Davidson, had his best score of the championship Sunday to finish fifth with a 221 (76-75-70). Jamie Clare, another All-Conference honoree, was VCU's third top 10 finisher, shooting a 222 (76-76-70).
Six other players were tied for seventh, and five other players were voted All-Conference by the coaches. David Sargent of Davidson, Tripp French of Dayton, George Washington's Logan Lowe, Rhode Island's Billy Walthouse and Matthew Lowe of Richmond also earned All-Conference. Logan Lowe was the lone freshman on the team.
George Washington finished fourth with a 909 and Fordham was fifth with a 912. Rhode Island surged over the final two days, erasing a difficult round one score and finishing in sixth with a 913. George Mason was seventh (916) and La Salle eighth (919). Saint Joseph's, Davidson and St. Bonaventure wrapped up the team finishes respectively.
Dayton's Thomas Goss carded Sunday's only eagle, increasing the total number of tournament eagles to six. No player had more than one.
VCU will learn where it will compete in the NCAA Regionals on Thursday when the pairings are announced on the Golf Channel at 9:30 am.

WASHINGTON, July 13 (UPI) -- A U.S. lawmaker said a mining bill passed by the House of Representatives gives major concessions to big business.
Republican leaders in the House of Representatives helped pass a measure that deregulates part of the national mining industry. It would cut down on the time allotted for environmental reviews, though its supporters touted the legislation as good for economic growth.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee, described the measure as a gift to mining corporations.
"The bill would short circuit proper environmental review and therefore provide a financial windfall for large companies mining for gold, silver, uranium and potentially even coal on public lands," a message on his Web site explained.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the House committee, said the measure would ensure the United States is more self-reliant on what he said were critical minerals.
"This bill will help reverse this dependency and insource these good-paying mining jobs to here in the United States," he said in a statement.
The measure is unlikely to pass through the U.S. Senate, controlled by Democrats.

After selecting a bicycle that meets your specific needs, getting cycling shoes and pedals will make a huge difference in your riding. We recommend clipless pedal and shoe systems for frequent riders because they more efficiently transfer your pedaling power to the ground and the shoes have stiff soles to support and protect your feet for more comfort.
Borrowed from skiing technology, these trick pedals also provide a better foot-to-pedal connection and more safety by offering almost instant foot entry and release. We like clipless pedals for road and mountain biking and for everything from recreational riding to commuting and racing. They're also great for Spinning classes.
If you're new to bicycling, getting new pedals and shoes (both are required for going clipless) might seem a bit much. The way to decide whether it's worth the expense is considering your cycling. If you ride regularly on loops of 10 miles or more and expect to keep riding for years to come, we think you'll love the way a clipless system enhances the cycling experience by boosting your pedal power, comfort and safety.
What are clipless pedals?
Once you have the cleats bolted to your shoes and the clipless pedals on your bicycle (we're happy to help), you simply put on your new shoes and step on the pedals to click your feet securely in place (most systems make a "click" when you're locked in). When engaged, your feet are connected to the pedals for optimum efficiency. And your feet won't come off the pedals unless you want them to. To get out, you swing your heels to the outside as if you're getting ready to put your feet down, and the pedals release.
Because your feet are locked into the pedals when riding, you have more power throughout the pedal stroke and while accelerating and climbing. Clipless pedals also give you more control by letting you use your feet for maneuvers such as hopping pavement cracks, railroad tracks and more exciting obstacles if you're riding off road.
Plus, because you can get in and out so quickly, you're more apt to get your feet down and land safely should you need to dismount quickly. With all of these advantages, is it any wonder that almost all serious pedalers use clipless pedals today and some new bikes even come equipped with them?
Racers do not need to put their feet down very often, so having recessed cleats is not important. However, standard road cleats that protrude from the soles can make those occasions when you do need to walk a bit awkward. Fortunately, to provide traction for easier and safer walking and to help protect the cleats, rubber cleat covers are available for many different clipless systems. We recommend picking up a pair and carrying them on rides so you can walk easily and save your cleats from wear and tear.
They are also made of synthetic and/or wool blends to breathe and keep your feet dry and comfortable (cotton holds onto moisture). A good pair of cycling socks will last a long time too.
Note that after rainy/wet rides that soak your shoes, you should stuff them with newspaper so they dry nicely and the fit is maintained.
Clips and straps versus clipless
At the least, this is an annoyance. At the worst, it can cause a crash and injury. Also, even if you never slip off the pedals, rubber pedals allow your feet to change positions while you're pedaling, which wastes energy. Ideally, you'll always pedal with the balls of your feet over the centers of the pedals. Because it's difficult to keep your feet in this position when you're pedaling quickly, toe clips and straps were invented (shortly after bicycles were invented, actually).
Toe clips and straps bolt to most regular pedals (non-clipless) that have holes in them to accept the bolts that hold the clips in place. The clips and straps form cages to hold your feet in the correct place on the pedals and keep your feet from slipping off. This is a perfectly viable solution and less expensive than clipless pedals and the special shoes needed to complete the clipless system.
There are drawbacks, however. One is that the clips and straps may cut off the circulation to your feet when they're fastened tightly enough to allow efficient pedaling and control. It's also a fairly tricky two-step process to get out of the clips and straps when they're tightened because you must reach down to loosen the strap before you can pull your foot out. Also, when you're riding off road on the pedal bottoms, the clips and straps hang down where they can snag on roots or sticks, stopping the bike abruptly and possibly causing a crash.
These are just some of the reasons that clipless pedals are now de rigueur for serious cyclists. The only real disadvantage is the initial expense and that they take a little practice to learn how to use (true with toe clips and straps, too).
Many of them utilize a double-sided pedal (photo,left), which means you can click into the pedal on either side so you don't have to look down to get your feet in. Also some of these pedals offer a platform around the piece that engages the cleat.
This is beneficial when you either want to be unclipped or you can't clip in fast enough — you'll still have a good base of support. This is also convenient if you're wearing regular street shoes because you'll have a good pedaling surface even though you're not using your special cleated cycling shoes.
The other system is road (the red cleat in the photo above, right) and as the name implies it's designed for use on road bikes where maximum efficiency, aerodynamics and minimum weight are all important. Road shoes are lighter and stiffer than walkable models because the soles aren't lugged.
The other difference in road clipless systems is that the cleats protrude from the soles of the shoes because the soles are so thin and light. This makes it difficult to walk in the shoes (though there are rubber cleat covers available to protect the cleat and improve traction).
Also, road systems usually are single-sided so you must find the correct side of the pedal to click in when you start out. Most road pedals hang a certain way to make this relatively easy.
Keep in mind that even though most clipless pedals offer float, it's still important to align the cleats carefully. They must be positioned to hold the balls of your feet over the pedals and to match your natural foot inclination. Our bike fitters are experts at this.
Another adjustment many clipless pedals offer is fine-tuning the ease of entry and exit by adjusting the tension that holds the shoes in place on the pedal. Competitive riders often set it very firm because they don't want their feet popping out in all-out sprinting efforts or bumpy, high-speed sections of the trail. Meanwhile, beginners may like a loose setting so that they can get out with very little effort should they need to get their feet down in a hurry.
This adjustment can generally be made two different ways depending on your pedals. The majority of pedals offer an adjustment on the pedal (photo, right), or you can swap to different cleats with a greater or lesser degree of exit angle on other models.
Teach your feet this motion while standing over the bike. You're just going to practice getting your feet in and out, not sit on the seat or ride anywhere. If you're worried about falling over, practice on a lawn or soft surface. Even better, if you have an indoor trainer, mount your bike on it and practice in place.
Click your right foot into the right pedal and remove it 50 or more times, and repeat with your left. It should begin to feel natural and easy. Keep clicking and releasing until you've really got it down. You're training your muscle memory so you can do this without thinking about it — even better: without looking down!
When you're comfortable getting in and out of the pedals, do a short loop around the neighborhood and practice entering and exiting the pedals for real. The trickiest thing the first couple of times is remembering to swivel your heels to get out instead of pulling back (the toe-clip motion). As long as you keep the correct motion in mind you'll get your feet out just fine.
If you're worried about it, plan your neighborhood test loop to end next to a telephone pole you can hang onto for insurance. Remember too that you don't have to stop if you're not ready to get your feet out. Just keep riding and find something to hold onto like a parked car or parking meter, and then click out of the pedals.
If you're still having trouble getting in and out of the pedals, practice some more while standing next to the bike. There might also be something making it harder to get out of the pedals, such as a too-tight adjustment, a misaligned or loose cleat. If that's the case, be sure to bring your bike and shoes in so we can have a look, solve any problems and get you going.
When shoe shopping, don't underestimate the importance of trying them on. Some brands run wider than others. Some sole shapes may fit your feet better than others. Some brands run big and some run small. No matter how much you like the look or features of a shoe, a lousy fit can ruin rides. So, it's always best to come in and try some on. We look forward to answering your questions and helping you find the perfect fit!
