What do I wear to a work holiday party?
Since you are undoubtedly fabulous and focused at work, an office holiday party can be the perfect opportunity to show off your fun and fashionable side to your co-workers. And while the only rule here is to remain somewhat modest and entirely professional, we recommend these three approaches to showing off your stylish side.
Since much of our day-to-day office wear tends to be heavier on the black and grey side, try a refreshingly opposite look: all white. Think monochromatic winter wonderland with heavier, seasonably appropriate fabrics like wool, felt, chunky knits, and cashmere.
If your holiday party is straight after work and you don't have time for a total change, try layering on some sequins that can make an otherwise serious office look feel fun.
Try a sequined blazer over a blouse, an embellished cardigan over a crewneck top, or even a longer coat with touches of sparkle can do the trick.
A look that references this classic holiday ballet can feel warmly nostalgic and totally unexpected. A tutu's not required; instead pair a ballet-like full skirt with a more shrunken sweater or blouse.
To edge up this very feminine look, you can try a biker jacket over a buttoned-up black blouse or tee instead. Sweep you hair back in a sweet bun and pair with delicate, danceable shoes.
You probably are already familiar with Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. These Los Angeles-based stylists are known for their work with red-carpet favourites like Emma Roberts and Mandy Moore, to name a few. In addition to their noteworthy stylist careers, the ladies are also the geniuses behind the beloved denim brand Current/Elliott. They will be answering your style questions, so be sure to submit your most pressing queries today!

FSU Seminoles star QB Jameis Winston poses tough task for Miami Hurricanes
Clemson tried blitzing and then dropping eight players into coverage.
Nevada went with a ball-control approach, anything to try to keep Jameis Winston and Florida State's offense off the field.
Through seven games nothing has worked in slowing the third-ranked Seminoles (7-0, 5-0) down. Not even a little.
"It's hard to find anyone that's had a lot of success against them,'' said Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio, who has the task Saturday night of trying to solve an FSU offense averaging 52.6 points per game (third in the FBS), has the nation's second-most efficient passer in Winston (207.0 rating) and ranks fourth in total offense (553.7 yards per game).
"They're averaging I don't know how many yards per play (11.33, second behind only Baylor) and really spreading the ball around, not turning the ball over. You just keep battling, try to make it about our guys executing and doing their job and let the chips fall where they may.''
Last season, it would have been preposterous to think D'Onofrio and UM's defense would have any shot of slowing the redshirt freshman Winston (6-4, 228 pounds) and FSU's offense down. UM (7-0, 3-0 ACC) was torched by its three ranked opponents last season. The Hurricanes gave up an average of 42 points and 510 yards a game in those three lopsided losses.
But this year's defense, deeper, bigger and more mature, has earned a reputation for being a lot more bend than bust. The Hurricanes rank 10th in team passing-efficiency defense (104.77), 11th in scoring defense (17.7 points per game), 18th in total defense (342.3 yards per game) and 39th against the run (141.7).
A nonexistent pass rush (13 sacks in 2012) has been replaced by a collection of 13 players who have combined for 22 sacks (11th most in the nation). Where the Canes have earned their money, though, has really been third down defense (15th, 0.315 percent), red-zone defense (tied for 23rd, 0.750) and turnovers (19, UM had 22 all of last year).
But the challenge Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium is on another level.
For starters, the next best quarterback UM has faced thus far is North Carolina's Bryn Renner, who completed 78 percent of his passes for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Canes. Renner ranks 45th in the country in passer efficiency.
"I've faced a lot of good players, but he's one of the best,'' Hurricanes linebacker and leading tackler Denzel Perryman said. "As big as he is, the things he can do, if we keep him in the pocket, he can hit the deep ball and then the check-down routes.
"If we chase him out of the pocket, he has the ability to run and look back up field to wide receivers. It's really impressive. Even when he's been under the pressure, he's been able to make plays."
Of his 444 yards passing against Clemson, Winston threw for 293 on blitzes. A total of 52 percent of his passes go for first downs, 30 percent for 15 yards or more and 12.6 percent of his passes go for touchdowns. So is extra pressure the way to rattle him or is sitting back in coverage the best?
"I don't think you can go one way or the other,'' D'Onofrio said. "You have to pick your spots and mix it up and try to get him off of rhythm, but so far nobody has been able to do that.''
As D'Onofrio pointed out, Winston has weapons all over the field to throw to. FSU receivers Rashad Greene (39 catches, 690 yards, 8 TDs), Kenny Shaw (31-574-3), Kelvin Benjamin (230-430-5) and tight end Nick O'Leary (17-307-6) are all averaging near or above an eye-opening 18 yards per catch.
"They're fast. They got good hands. We've just got to keep everything in front of us and tackle them when they catch it,'' Canes cornerback Ladarius Gunter said. "Our mentality is do your job. If everybody does their [job], we'll come out victorious.''
As much attention as Winston and his receivers get, FSU's running game can't be ignored. The Seminoles are averaging 212.3 yards a game on the ground (25th nationally and one spot behind UM). Tailback Devonta Freeman, a Miami Central grad, leads the Seminoles with 561 yards.
"He's more physical than led to believe by his size,'' UM linebacker Jimmy Gaines said. "Of course he's shifty and fast. But at the same time he really fights on contact. We've got to make sure we wrap up and get him down.''
The Hurricanes, 22-point underdogs, have stayed away from providing FSU any bulletin-board material this week, saying their treating this game like another. But using any bit of extra motivation to try to raise their level of play this week might not be a bad idea.
"It's not too difficult if you don't say [anything],'' Gaines said of avoiding trash talk. "We'll let our pads do the talking when we get on the field.''

Eric Church Holds Nothing Back for 2011 CMA Awards Performance of 'Drink in My Hand'
Eric Church opened up a set of three mini-performances to close the first hour of the 2011 CMA Awards on Nov. 9. The North Carolina native sang his current single, 'Drink in My Hand,' and showed millions of people watching on ABC why fans have for years been fighting for tickets to his live show.
Brad Paisley, wearing a blue and black camouflage jacket, introduced Church, the first of three New Artist of the Year nominees to perform consecutively. The new daddy was wearing what's become a uniform: jeans with a gray T-shirt, a black ball cap and dark aviator sunglasses. While his major award show performance resume is limited, Church looked like he'd been working this stage for decades.
Thompson Square and Chris Young followed Church's performance, each playing their song almost in its entirety. Luke Bryan and the Band Perry are also nominated for the Top New Artist category.
'Drink in My Hand' is from Church's most recent album 'Chief.'

Truth can be so annoying. If annoying truth was a Jeopardy category it might look like this…
"I'll take Annoying Truths for $100, Alex."
This famous preacher said, "Give me five minutes with a person's checkbook, and I will tell you where their heart is."
"Who is Billy Graham? I'll take Annoying Truths for $200, Alex."
This missionary to India said, "You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving."
"Who was Amy Carmichael, Alex. I am getting very uncomfortable with this topic so let's take "Sins that make you worse than me for $100."
Money is an uncomfortable topic for followers of Jesus. One anonymous writer noted that a lot of people are willing to give God the credit, but not too many are willing to give Him the cash.
Twenty-nine years ago a man in Kansas City made a choice to give away the cash. It was a choice that changed his life and the lives of thousands more. The Associated Press reported that for the next 27 years, a man known only as Secret Santa roamed the streets every December quietly giving people money. He started with $5 and $10 bills. As his fortune grew, so did the gifts. In recent years, Secret Santa handed out $100 bills, sometimes two or three at a time, to people in thrift stores, diners and parking lots. He anonymously gave out about $1.3 million. It was a long-held holiday mystery: Who is the Secret Santa? During Christmas of 2007, weakened from chemotherapy and armed with a desire to pass on his belief in random kindness, Secret Santa finally revealed his identity.
Larry Stewart, a 58-year-old businessman from the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, Mo., made his millions in cable television and long-distance telephone service. While Stewart also gave money to other community causes in Kansas City and his home town of Bruce, Miss., he offered the simple gifts of cash because it's something people didn't have to "beg for, get in line for, or apply for."
His epiphany happened just before Christmas in 1979. His circumstances were dire. For the second year in a row he had been fired just days before Christmas. He admits that he was wallowing in self-pity when he learned that giving returned an inexplicable joy. That simple discovery changed him, the entire city of Kansas City, and beyond. Let's pick up the story as Stewart was nursing his wounds at a drive-in restaurant after getting fired once again. He describes that December day in his own words.
"It was cold and this car hop didn't have on a very big jacket, and I thought to myself, `I think I got it bad. She's out there in this cold making nickels and dimes,"' he said. He gave her $20 and told her to keep the change. "And suddenly I saw her lips begin to tremble and tears begin to flow down her cheeks. She said, `Sir, you have no idea what this means to me."'
Larry Stewart was deeply touched. He decided to go to the bank that day and took out $200, then drove around looking for people who could use a lift. That was his "Christmas present to himself." He hit the streets each December every year after that Christmas. In January of 2007 Larry Stewart died from complications caused by his esophageal cancer. He was only fifty-eight years old.
Stewart spoke often to community groups about his devotion to kindness and to inspire others to donate their time and money. "That's what we're here for," Stewart says, "to help other people out." Today his legacy lives on at Secret Santa World, a website that reports on the giving of other "Secret Santas" around the country.
Larry Stewart learned the reality of money and possessions that was eloquently expressed by author Thomas Fuller. "Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites."
As a follower of Christ I think Stewart has it half right when he notesthat we are here to help other people out. The religious scholars asked Jesus what a purpose driven life should look like.
"Teacher, which command in God's Law is the most important?"
Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." (Matthew 22, The Message)
During this Christmas season I am challenging you to join me in trying Larry Stewart's experiment. Go buy yourself a gadget or outfit or bauble. Note the reading on your personal joy meter. Then go give money to a desperate Mom trying to make ends meet. Or give some cash to an elderly couple who can't pay the heating bill. Deliver a Christmas gift to children who would not receive gifts any other way. Then see which action has given you real joy. Was it acquiring more stuff or meeting real needs in the lives of others? Larry Stewart learned that lesson. And the world is a better place because of the revelation he experienced on a cold December day twenty-seven years ago.
I came across an update on this story recently. KSHB-TV reported that a new "Secret Santa" hit the streets on December 10th. Here is a part of that report.
Secret Santa is back in Kansas City. The new Santa handed out nearly $14,000 of surprise cash to people throughout the Kansas City area on Wednesday. The lucky recipients included a variety of people from thrift store shoppers and cancer patients to a police detective with a boxing gym for at-risk children. The cash itself also varied from a single $100 bill to $2,000. But the tradition is expanding beyond the metro. Kansas City's Santa recruited 20 others to distribute holiday gifts of cash across the nation, including cities in Arizona, California, North Carolina and Oklahoma.
This man is continuing the tradition started by the original Kansas City Secret Santa, Larry Stewart. Stewart gave away about $1 million over more than 20 years prior to his death in 2007.
Pray about what you can give this Christmas. Remember that Larry Stewart started small. I pray that you will receive the kind of joy that drove the Kansas City "Secret Santa" for twenty-seven years. The chance to witness the surprised joy of a person receiving an unexpected and much needed gift. Kind of like salvation, isn't it? That is the gift that Jesus brought to Bethlehem two millenia ago. And that is another gift we should be eager to give away this season.

Jeff Scheid/Pool
Friday, April 5, 2013 | 2 a.m.
When he wasn't quipping one-liners from the witness stand or arguing with lawyers, Sheldon Adelson had trouble remembering details of how he built a casino empire in Macau.
But one thing the billionaire seemed to know for certain: The man suing Adelson's company for $328 million didn't deserve it.
Making a rare public appearance, the chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. testified on Thursday that he didn't need any help getting permission to open casinos in Macau. The company now now owns six of them along the glittering Cotai Strip, which Adelson has called "Las Vegas of the Far East."
Hong Kong businessman Richard Suen certainly wasn't any help, Adelson insisted from the witness stand — at least nothing approaching the millions being claimed in the contract dispute that's into its second trial at the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas.
Suen is suing the Sands, which owns the Venetian and Palazzo here, saying he was promised fees and a percentage of the profits for helping the company gain a foothold in Macau.
Adelson, 79, said his reputation in the convention business is what allowed him to begin building casinos in 2003 that now represent the lion's share of the Sands' record profits from megaresorts like the Venetian Macau, the Sands Macau and the Plaza Macau.
"That's what the Macau government wanted — people with convention experience," Adelson testified. "They wanted to change the face of Macau from the gambling dens to that of conventions and resorts.
"We took a swamp and a bay and transformed it into the Cotai Strip," Adelson added.
Suen insists Adelson needed help, because for 40 years Macau gambling operations were the monopoly of one man, Stanley Ho.
Adelson acknowledged that he enlisted Suen to help get a gaming license. Lenny Adelson had introduced his brother to Suen, who sold hotel supplies to the Venetian in Las Vegas, in 2000. But Sheldon Adelson said once Macau officials lifted the monopoly and opened the market to outside companies in October 2001, Sands no longer needed Suen.
"Once they announced that, his ability to get a license was cut off," Adelson testified Thursday. "He couldn't give anything to us that wasn't available to us."
Adelson appeared to change his story from what he'd said in earlier depositions in the case and he'd said in the first trial in 2008, when a jury awarded Suen $43.8 million. The Nevada Supreme Court eventually struck down that verdict, bringing the case back to trial.
Adelson also did not put any such deadlines in writing. Suen lawyer John O'Malley produced a letter written in December 2001, in which Adelson requested Suen's help, two months after Macau had said it would take bids from outside companies.
There were no deadlines in that letter.
"It was understood," Adelson told the jury.
Adelson nearly caused a mistrial on the first day of testimony, when he began pulling books and convention brochures about his company from the 1980s to show his prowess in the convention industry.
James Pisanelli, lead attorney for Suen, accused Adelson of trying to hijack the trial by introducing new evidence that had not been approved by the court.
"It was intentional and improper," Pisanelli argued.
The Sands legal team appeared just as surprised, saying they had told Adelson not to bring the books to court.
Clark County District Judge Rob Bare denied the request for a mistrial, but he told the jury to disregard the books and ordered Adelson not to pull anything else out of his little black bag.
Bare repeatedly reminded Adelson to answer questions posed by O'Malley, as the casino executive either chose to trade verbal spars with Suen's counsel or veered off into lengthy asides or drawing giggles with quick quips.
Asked to describe the height of Chinese officials at one meeting in Bejing, Adelson answered: "I've always been short."
Adelson, who slowly moved about the courtroom with a cane during breaks and used a motorized scooter in the courthouse hallways, did remember minute details of a phone conversation with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Adelson recalled when the Texas congressman was throwing a barbecue.
"He was out getting sausage," Adelson said. Then he added: "I'm a hot dog freak."
The conversation with DeLay brought more arguments over hearsay evidence — a key component that led to the first trial being overturned.
Suen contends that he helped Adelson get pull from government officials in China, who influenced the deal that let Sands build in Macau.
One of those meetings with Suen, his lawyers say, involved China seeking Adelson's help with its Olympic bid. Adelson admitted he did call DeLay during the barbecue about a nonbinding resolution in Congress that asked the U.S. Olympic committee to vote against holding the Games in Beijing.
Bare had originally ruled the conversation was hearsay, and not allowable during the trial.
But Adelson, who spent some $98 million trying to influence the last U.S. presidential election, claimed he had no pull with governments.
"I think it's ridiculous — that a kid from the slums, me, could help China, the largest country in the world, get the Olympics," Adelson testified.
Bare, meanwhile, said that opened the door for O'Malley to use the conversation with DeLay to impeach Adelson's testimony.
Adelson continued to spar with O'Malley.
When asked if the Beijing mayor had asked for help with the Olympics, Adelson replied: "I don't know what he said. I couldn't understand him."
"Because he was speaking Chinese?" O'Malley asked.
"It all sounded Greek to me," Adelson answered.
Bottom line, Adelson said, is Sands never received a gaming license in Macau.
"I'm not trying to misrepresent or razzle-dazzle you," Adelson testified. "We don't have a license."
Technically, Sands entered Macau as a sub-concessioner with Galaxy Entertainment, which holds the gaming licenses.
Suen's lawyers contend his relationships with officials in China helped Adelson's company get that deal.
Adelson remains on the stand, as the trial continues Friday.

Best Genealogy Accomplishment
within my family there has been a long standing debate as to whether a particular grand father had served in the Army in WW1. He was a great story teller and often people would not know if he was having them on or not. He was the master of the tall tale.
I decided to try and settle this once and for all.
My greatest sense of accomplishment came when I managed to find his WW1 service record. He had not given his correct details when joining up as he was under age. The chances of finding one of these records is only 1 in 3 at best. Not only did he not give his true age, he did not give his true place of birth. I took a chance and used his last known location, according to the 1911 census, as his place of birth and after trawling through hundreds of possibilities, I found his record. His records included the letters that his father had written trying to get him out of the army as he was too young, they also included a copy of his birth cert which confirmed that I had the right man. His father did secure his discharge.
The discovery has not yet ended the long standing debate within the family,it has now shifted, as these things do, to the details. Did he see active service?
My next challenge is to see whether he re-enlisted or was conscripted later on. There is probably little chance of success,but you never know.
It was a great feeling though to be able to hand over these records to one of his sons,I hope that I can find the rest.
Happy hunting

Layered security. Security integration. Defense in depth. For years now, cybersecurity professionals and vendors have been preaching sermons on the merits of an enterprise security strategy that mixes a variety of tools and technologies to create a complex barrier that hackers can't penetrate. "Layered security" has become as much a part of industry parlance as authentication or encryption.
There's just one problem: It isn't working.
While enterprises and government agencies have invested unprecedented resources in cybersecurity over the past few years, the incidence of new data threats and breaches remains at record highs. The most recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (PDF) indicates that breaches involving hacking and malware were both up considerably last year, with hacking involved in 81 percent of incidents and malware involved in 69 percent. According to the Cost of a Data Breach Report, malicious attacks on enterprise data rose last year, and the cost of a breach is at an all-time high ($222 per lost record). According to figures posted this month by Panda Labs, more than 6 million new malware samples were detected in the third quarter alone, and more than a third of machines across the globe are already infected.
Is it time to hit the "reset" button on cybersecurity strategy? Should organizations challenge current thinking around security architecture -- and, particularly, the effectiveness of layered defense? Many experts think so.
"Organizations are implementing incremental improvements to their information security capabilities to provide short-term solutions -- without tackling the issues associated with the overall information security threat," says research and consulting firm Ernst & Young in its Global Information Security Survey 2012, published in October. "The need to develop a robust security architecture framework has never been greater."
However, 63 percent of organizations have no such framework in place, the study says. "For years, companies have been approaching security as a technical problem, usually by buying products to solve specific problems," says Jose Granado, principal and practice leader for IT security services at Ernst & Young and one of the authors of the new report. "There hasn't been much thought put to how those technologies will work together, or to the people and process sides of the equation."
While many large organizations have systems architects or network architects who help create the framework for the evolution of hardware and communications technology across the enterprise, most of E&Y's large clients do not have security architects, Granado says.
"There is a huge [difference] between organizations that have a security architect and those that don't," he comments. "When there is an architecture that's tied to the company's business goals, then there's a realization that security problems can't be solved in a silo." A well-defined architecture helps dictate how the various single-function security technologies will work together -- and makes it easier to find the weak spots in enterprise defenses, he says.
Vinnie Liu, partner and co-founder of Stach & Liu, a consulting firm that works with large enterprises on security architecture and tests companies' defense strategies, agrees that enterprises' historical focus on point solutions has prevented many organizations from developing a broader security strategy.
"The industry has been approaching the cybersecurity problem like the TSA has been approaching the air-security problem," Liu says. "First the bad guys brought guns on board, so they put in metal detectors. Then somebody put a bomb in his shoe, and now we all have to take our shoes off. Then they found liquid explosives, so now we can't bring on any liquids. It's one problem, one solution, with no real thought to the big picture."
If enterprises do have a broader defense strategy, then it's usually focused on "layering," in which the organization buys a variety of different point products, essentially creating an obstacle course that the attacker must navigate to get to the sensitive data, Liu observes. By implementing a patchwork of firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion prevention systems, and the like, the enterprise hopes to detect a wide variety of attacks and mitigate them before they can do much damage.
"The problem is that most of these tools are still signature-based, which means you're taking a known threat and blacklisting it. So what you're doing is essentially layering one technology with another layer of the same type of technology," Liu says. "It's sort of like putting on a coat, and then putting on another coat that covers the exact same parts of your body, and then wondering why you're still cold."
Stach & Liu recommends that rather than buying more point technology, organizations should perform a risk assessment that identifies the most sensitive areas of the business, the most likely threats, and a holistic defense strategy -- an architecture of technology and processes -- designed specifically to protect the business. The risk assessment, along with the definition of the business' specific security requirements, helps identify top priorities and most likely threats, as well as key goals -- such as compliance -- in order to develop a comprehensive, practical defense strategy.
"You need to define your [security] requirements, just as you would with any architecture," Liu says. "Most companies don't take this step, so when it comes to building out the architecture, they have a hard time. They're trying to defend against everything without really knowing what problems they're trying to solve."

Alabama Welcome Center 15121 U.s. 231 Cottonwood AL 36320 53.3 miles from Paxton 334-677-5042
Visitors Centers associated with a particular attraction are typically open during the attraction's hours of operation. The hours of operation for a Tourism Visitors Center tend to be influenced by seasonal fluctuations in tourism. During the busy season, a Tourism Visitors Center is more likely to be open during extended business hours, including weekends.How are Visitors Centers funded?
A Visitors Center that is part of a particular attraction or company is usually funded as part of that entity's operations. State Visitors Centers are typically funded by the state's tourism agency. Tourism Visitors Centers are usually funded and operated by a Convention and Visitors Bureau, local economic development agency, merchants' association, or by a combination of several entities.What kind of security is in place at Visitors Centers?
The type and extent of security is determined largely by the purpose and location of the Visitors Center. A Visitors Center that contains valuable artifacts, such as artwork or historical items, will likely have higher security. Visitors Centers at government buildings and other places of political importance are also more likely to have a higher level of security.
