Picture: Justin Bieber - Justin Bieber performs live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena as part of his 2013 'Believe Tour' - Las Vegas, Nevada, United...
Reality Tv star Judge Judy has branded Justin Bieber a "fool" for risking his career with his bad boy behaviour and run-ins with the law.
The Baby hitmaker has been mired in numerous legal troubles in recent months, and the television judge, real name Judith Sheindlin, has now warned the pop star he is abusing his celebrity status.
She tells CBS Los Angeles, "Being a celebrity is a gift. You could either treat it reverently or you could make a fool out of yourself. And he's doing a very good job of making a fool out of himself... I think it's sad. And nobody's going to remember that he was a marginal singer. But they're going to remember a young kid who had a chance to have it all and who is blowing it by acting like a fool."
Bieber was arrested in Florida in January (14) on suspicion of driving under the influence, while he is also facing an assault charge in Canada over an alleged attack on a chauffeur. Police also raided the singer's California mansion last month (Jan14) over allegations the singer pelted a neighbour's home with eggs.

Can Auditory Hallucinations be Treated?
What can be prescribed for my 84 yr. old mother who hears another woman`s voice in her home and believes it to be the girlfriend of my father and has threatened to kill them both? She has tried lexapro and Namenda with no success.
False beliefs or hallucinations, such as described, are not uncommon in certain dementing conditions. Unless family members identify instances that the patient states that she hears this girlfriend right at that instant, these are best described as delusions. These type of complaints are usually best treated by medications known as atypical antipsychotics. Care should be taken to explain all the potential side effects of these medications to the patient and family. However, most patients tolerate them very well and they can be very effective to relieve the false beliefs and improve quality of life for the patient and husband. If not contraindicated, these medications should be started at a low dose and gradually increased until the symptoms are diminished or unless side effects are noted. I have found that quetiapine or ziprasidone are tolerated well in most demented patients and could be tried first.

GENEVA (Reuters) - An estimated 40,000 people have fled a town in eastern Syria after three days of heavy fighting between government troops and rebels, the United Nations food agency said.
Rebels seized al-Shaddadeh in Syria's oil-producing east on Thursday after the clashes which killed 30 of their fighters and 100 Syrian government troops, a violence monitoring group told Reuters.
"A WFP (World Food Programme) team visited the area and estimated that around 40,000 people have fled al-Shaddadeh to al-Hasakah city (the regional capital)," the U.N. agency told journalists in Geneva on Friday.
Northeastern Syria was hit by four years of drought before the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad started nearly two years ago, resulting in high rates of malnutrition among children, WFP spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said.
"The fighting and displacement only aggravates the misery of these people," she said, adding the agency had sent extra rations to the area this week.
Taking Shaddadeh brings the rebels closer to the provincial capital Hasakah, 45 km (30 miles) to the north in the surrounding Hasakah province.
The fresh displacement adds to an estimated 2.5 million people already uprooted within Syria, many living in squalid conditions in schools and other public buildings converted into shelters, according to the United Nations.

Tipoff: 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Gill Coliseum
TV/Radio: ESPNU, 570-AM 570
Matchup: Alone for second place in the Pac-12, UCLA (17-4, 6-2) can't afford any more losses if it hopes to catch undefeated Arizona for the regular season title. Next up is a team the Bruins have beaten 14 times in their last 15 meetings … Oregon State (12-8) is 4-4 in conference play for the first time since 1999, a milestone that highlights just how uninspiring Craig Robinson's tenure has been. The sixth-year head coach told local reporters this week that today's game against UCLA is the team's biggest since he was hired. The Beavers are mediocre on defense and somewhat prone to turnovers, but through eight Pac-12 games, they are shooting a league-best 47.5 percent from the field. Leading the effort is guard Roberto Nelson, who balances an impressive offensive load with remarkable efficiency. The 6-foot-4 senior leads the conference with 22.3 points per game on the season, and does it while averaging 48.5 percent from the field, 40.4 percent from beyond the arc, and 85.5 percent from the line. He also takes 34.1 percent of his team's shots and draws 7.5 fouls every 40 minutes — numbers that also best anyone else in the Pac-12.

We were invited to dinner last night by some of Mike's friends and of course I didn't have a thing to wear lol. I saw two reviews for McCalls 6571 here and here and wanted to try out this great little pattern so thought it was quick enough for me to make in the couple of hours I had left before we had to leave for the dinner.
As mentioned in my blog yesterday I have been doing some more lingerie sewing and managed to complete two bras by yesterday lunchtime.
Despite the colouring in the photograph, the colour of the first bra is more of the periwinkle blue. This was some lace that I purchased from the little haberdashery shop in Walthamstow and I am really happy with the way it turned out. For this bra I used the lace for the undercup too, whereas other bras I have only used the lace for the upper cup.
The pink and red rose lace was an eBay purchase and the 2nd bra I have made from this pretty lace and will be taken to the flat in London to stay there.

A young lady who is pure shines with a radiant brightness in this world of darkness. How can a girl stay physically and emotionally pure as she waits for God's best in marriage?
Conference Topics:
Waiting for God's Best
Parents' Sessions Include:
Every Mother's Example
Typical Seminar Schedule:
Friday evening 6:00-9:00
Comments from Radiant Purity Conference Attendees
"It would be an underestimation to say that my daughter and I have thoroughly enjoyed the conference. As a matter of fact, God used you and your team leaders to reveal truths to my daughter and I that weekend. She said that she was truly transformed by some of the sessions and made a commitment to wait for the Lord's best for her life not only in terms of marriage but other areas as well."

My sentence structure is pretty bad! Writing this blog is the first real writing I have really had to do since school which is about 14 years ago. So please excuse my bad use of grammar and punctuation. I am hoping to get better at this through having to relearn how to express myself through a new medium. I like to think that my paintings express some of what I am, simple, happy, fun, colourful perhaps.

Favourite number one
This was linked by Camilla whilst talking about kayaking tonight. It prompted me to show you the work of my very favourite artist, Charlotte Evans. I realise that I say that about a lot of people but in terms of landscape painters she really is my favourite. I exhibited with Charlotte earlier on in the year at the Affordable Art fair where we were both represented by Wills Art warehouse. She is a young painter just 3 years out of Art school but has the most incredible sense of colour I think I have ever seen. A true gift. It was so hard to choose but here are some of my favourites.
This is what she says, wonderful! "How can a painter not be fascinated by colour, it is the stuff of sight.Painting is not a means to produce an image, but a process that should enrich the painter as much as it should an audience.I have little desire to produce a picture of a place but rather to make a place in the picture. To take people somewhere they have never been before, but which strikes up desires and recollections of their own."

Just perfect!
So, in the rain we headed to the gallery. Sarah, the owner was over the moon with the paintings, prints and cards I had done for her. She even managed to get two of them in the window before closing. Perfect!
So in the rain, we wandered around Dartmouth, there are some great little independant shops, galleries and restaurants. We decided to really push the boat out for dinner and went to the Michelin starred Restaurant of the year 2005/2006 The New Angel. It is owned by celebrity chef John Burton Race and guess what? he was actually in the kitchen serving up my dinner. It was an open kitchen so I spent a lot of the time watching him. I must admit the dishes he was serving up really were art on a plate. The food was delicious. The best course by far was dessert! I opted for the 'Chocolate plate' I only wish I had brought my camera because I thought I had died and gone to heaven. There were 5, yes 5 I tell you mini chocolate desserts. This was the perfect dessert for me as I am a "can I try a bit of yours" kind of girl, and only decide on what I am eating when I have found out what everyone else I am dining with is ordering. I find it scandalous for two people to order the same thing. Why is that I wonder??? SO with a very full belly and lovely fuzzy head from the wonderful bottle of red we wandered back to the hotel.
Saturday rained again and after doing some quick sketching (in the rain) and taking photos we set off for home. I came home to a whole host of goodies. Something from Camilla and a parcel from Karin. Unfortunately I cannot share the contents with you as they are Christmas gifts for two people who I know read my blog. But believe me I am reluctant to let them go as they make me very happy indeedy!
I also came home to really good news. I donated a piece of Artwork recently for the Art and Soul Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams. The proceeds from the auction went to the Demelza Hospice Care for Children. My work was being auctioned alongside some very famous artists including Antony Gormley and Mary Fedden so I felt very honoured.
I am really pleased to tell you that I donated £330 towards the overall total of £24,000 that was raised on the night. I feel very proud.
Perfect little weekend really.
So with a smile on my face I will say goodnight. :)
p.s Sorry about the words to pictures ratio today, it's just not good enough is it :) xox

beside the sea
The new owner Sarah Duggan took over in July 2006 after a career in retail and running a design-led gift business. After too many years of saying "one day, I'll own a gallery", Sarah decided that Dartmouth and Baxters would be where she would enjoy life and her passion for the arts.

Deck the walls
Anna often paints one painting on top of another. What comes out in the end is a product of what was discarded before. The remains of the discarded painting give an extra dimension to her work, which is at the same time abstract and figurative.
The show runs until January 7th so if in the Putney area of London be sure to check it out!
Back to the easel I go for I am off to Devon on Friday with a selection of work for a new gallery I shall tell you all about tomorrow, goodnight all x

wedding decor
My boyfriend, whoops Fiance seems to break into a cold sweat when I mention the word bunting and has made his feelings clear that there is an absolute ban on any at all at our wedding. The B word is like a swear word and the small amount i did manage to sneak in last Summer got abolished to the bottom of the garden where it can be seen by absolutely noone. But I think I may have fooled him. These Mexican Paper picados are as I keep telling him Mexican Paper Picados and not at all like bunting. Ha! Well they are not are they?!? I love them and the top one is wedding themed.
And I thought these paper skeletons would fit in nicely too. What do you think? No....? the doves and hearts might work instead then.
So have a look at their website because there are some really lovely things for the home including those French milk bottles that also seemed to jump into my shopping basket while I wasn't looking. Cheeky little things!!??!!
Au revoir friends and happy shopping!!!!

Oh, and how I would love to visit her show at Office in Portland, USA at the moment to see this huge one!
And talking of birds, I discovered the work of Cathy Miles recently when visiting a gallery. Her work just has to be seen. She makes these wire bird sculptures but my favourites are the wall mounted pieces with hilarious text and titles. They are fun but perfectly executed. Do go and look at her website.
And finally, before I go for the weekend to paint furiously, here are two that I have finished for Wills Art warehouse. They are two of eight I am delivering to them next Thursday as part of their Deck The Walls exhibition. If you are in London then pop along for the show where all the work is under £500 and you can partake in a mince pie and some mulled wine!
Happy weekend all! x

Today David Brooks (in the role of Teddy Roosevelt) debates George Will (as Edmund Burke) on the subject of Afghanistan without citing him. This debate marks a high point of conservative politics where neoconservative ideology appears in concrete clarity.
First, Brooks makes clear that he is not interested in merely managing the problem of terrorism, but rather in "prevailing" in the war in Afghanistan. He argues that "only the full counterinsurgency doctrine offers a chance of success," but then proceeds to absurdly define population-centric counterinsurgency doctrine as one in which "small groups of American men and women are outside the wire in dangerous places in remote valleys, providing security, gathering intelligence, helping to establish courts and building schools and roads."
Either Brooks is being cute here or demonstrating his ignorance. With one word — "small" — Brooks has utterly mischaracterized what counterinsurgency is all about.
Population-centric counterinsurgency is all about large numbers of American men and women, not small numbers. The promoters of COIN in Afghanistan have recently taken to including the Afghan National Army in the count of counterinsurgents, but the textbook — and as a result, obviously oversimplified — number of counterinsurgents you'd want in a place with a population, dysfunctional national government, and geography like Afghanistan pushes well up to around half a million. It is an extraordinarily resource- and labor-intensive endeavor. If you don't believe me, perhaps you'll take David Petraeus or David Kilcullen as authorities on the matter.
Brooks pushes his argument further, declaring that we possess only two choices in Afghanistan: "surrender the place to the Taliban or do armed nation-building." One paragraph later, Brooks writes of the fight against terrorism that "we shouldn't pretend we understand how this conflict will evolve." That Brooks does not recognize the conflict between these views is telling. See Rory Stewart for more on the swashbuckling certainty like what Brooks is displaying.
Then Brooks borrows from Stephen Biddle the claim that we must conduct a counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan not because of the war on terrorism in that country per se, but rather because:
A Taliban conquest in Afghanistan would endanger the Pakistani regime at best, create a regional crisis for certain and lead to a nuclear-armed Al Qaeda at worst.
This is really cranking it up to 11 on the hyperbole meter. We may recall that in the 1990s when the Taliban was running Afghanistan, Pakistan was arguably more stable than it is today.
In closing, Brooks wheels out a straw man:
When you interview people who know little about Afghanistan, they describe an anarchic place that is the graveyard of empires. When you interview people who live there or are experts, they think those stereotypes are rubbish. They usually take a hardened but guardedly optimistic view. Read Clare Lockhart's Sept. 17 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to get a sense of the way many knowledgeable people view the situation.
It is curious to hear David Brooks refer to a large number of people who agree with him on policy as "people who know little about Afghanistan." Like Gen. Petraeus. Seth Jones. Anthony Cordesman. I could go on.
Brooks then undermines his case that the Taliban would certainly be able to set up a national government if we left by admitting that "the enemy is wildly hated. Only 6 percent of Afghans want a Taliban return, while NATO is viewed with surprising favor." Even for thugs like the Taliban, having a 6 percent approval rating, men like Rashid Dostum and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar running around your country, and the United States poking its nose in regularly looks a lot darker than Brooks makes it out.
There's more in the piece, but combined with Will's piece, it's a peek through the keyhole where you can see the warring tribes within conservatism thrashing it out.
Update: I was also interested to see the argument Brooks made on behalf of a study I had not read by political scientists Andrew Enterline and Joseph Magagnoli. But Stephen Walt observes that on this score too Brooks is misinforming his readers.

Groups are cleaning up highways in April
Numerous sections of highway are available in the Kansas Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway program.
Adopt-A-Highway groups are participating in the annual Cleanup Kansas Campaign in April, clearing litter away from highways. Motorists are asked to use caution, as people with bright orange vests will be working next to highways. Youth groups with members at least 11 years old and adequate adult supervision are eligible. KDOT provides each group safety training, trash bags, orange vests, and signs for their adopted stretch of highway.

The border deal that almost failed
Sen. Chuck Schumer spent Tuesday privately urging President Barack Obama and the entire Democratic caucus to just be patient — a border security deal they could accept was still within reach.
But after a testy, 45-minute call that night with a lead Republican negotiator of a possible compromise, Schumer could no longer follow his own advice.
Story Continued Below
The New York Democrat began to lose hope. Rather than deliver immigration reform with the 70-plus-vote show of force that Schumer had hyped so often, Democrats and the Gang of Eight would have to scratch and scrape their way to a filibuster-proof majority.
And yet, less than 24 hours later, they had a deal.
The answer to their problem turned out to be simple: Throw money at it.
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
The Congressional Budget Office issued a cost analysis late Tuesday predicting that the reform bill would trim the deficit by almost $1 trillion over the next two decades. Schumer's top immigration aide suggested senators could funnel some of those savings into border security.
And by Wednesday afternoon, Republican negotiators led by North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker had dropped their demand to make the path to citizenship for country's 11 million undocumented immigrants contingent upon the government achieving a 90 percent apprehension rate along the border. In return, they secured a staggering $30 billion for what is now being called a "border surge."
"Frankly they ended up having to give more," said Hoeven, who had the contentious phone call with Schumer.
( Also on POLITICO: 70 votes now possible in immigration deal)
The Gang of Eight, the White House and Republican senators still need to resolve differences over restricting immigrant access to government benefits.
But the agreement on border security eases passage next week of the overall bill and renews hopes among the Gang of Eight that it is closing in on an improbable, overwhelmingly bipartisan victory that few would've predicted only six months ago.
"Today," Schumer said from the Senate floor Thursday, "is a breakthrough day."
Obama has had little role in the Senate debate thus far, intentionally. But at the height of the talks Tuesday, the president weighed in with Schumer from Air Force One while traveling through Europe.
( Also on POLITICO: Gang of Eight introduces 'border surge')
Over a shaky line — they had to be reconnected twice — Obama told Schumer that the 90 percent trigger was unacceptable. Schumer said they were trying to find a different benchmark, and Obama told him to keep working toward an agreement.
The fact that the deal was reached in just hours after both sides were ready to break off talks underscored the political need for passing a bill in the Senate with a strong bipartisan majority. Democrats were eager to quell the growing perception that the bill was weak on the border, in the hopes of pushing the House into action. And Republicans, struggling to right their woes with Hispanic voters, were eager to find a bill that gave them sufficient political cover on the border — while appeasing their business allies hungry for an immigration law.
Money broke the impasse — more money than Democrats, Republicans and veterans of past immigration fights could have ever imagined. The original Gang of Eight bill included $6.5 billion for border security, and they thought that was an extraordinary, even unnecessary, investment after years of infrastructure and manpower buildup along the Southwest border.

Now, the government may spend $30 billion to double the number of border agents to 40,000, guarantee the completion of a 700-mile fence along the Southern border, and bulk up the country's arsenal of drones, sensors and other technologies.
It would dump more money and resources on the border than Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) envisioned under his tough amendment that spurred the Gang of Eight into pursuing an alternative.
"We have practically militarized the border," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a member of the Gang of Eight, said proudly. "If this amendment holds together and it passes as currently constructed, border security will have been achieved at a level that nobody would have thought possible a month ago."
( Also on POLITICO: Border security amendment delayed until Friday)
Schumer described the additional agents as a "virtual human fence."

Even Your Garbage Disposal Needs TLC
It's not so much that your under-sink workhorse needs strict maintenance, only sensible care. You probably already know that fibrous foods like banana skins, broccoli, celery, corn husks and potato peels can tangle and stop the blades of your garbage disposal. Other no-no's include bones and eggshells. But are you aware that dumping coffee grounds or starchy food into the unit can clog the pipes? Here are some other do's and don'ts of garbage disposal care:
• DO turn the power switch to "Off" before taking any action, should your disposer suddenly malfunction.
• DON'T use your fingers to pull out clogged matter; use pliers or tongs.
• DO get rid of bad smells by pouring warm (not hot) water into your garbage disposal as it grinds cut-up lemons.
• DON'T pour hot water into a clogged unit; melted fats will make the clogging even worse.
• DO clean your garbage disposal by filling it with ice cubes and a cup of rock salt, then running it a few seconds. Or consider making vinegar ice cubes to use weekly.
• DON'T use bleach or commercial drain cleaner to try unclogging your disposer.
• DO try untangling any fibers wrapped around your disposer blade by using the wrench that came with your unit. With that tool, you simply turn the nut at the base of the unit, then press the small red reset button in the center and flip the switch to restart.

Homologated tyres are those that have been approved directly via a manufacturer. These tyres are ones that have met the standards and regulatory requirements of the manufacturer.
The energy lost when a tyre is in motion is known as 'rolling resistance'. This has a direct impact on fuel consumption.
A tyre's rolling resistance score ranges from A to G. Over the life of the tyre, fitting an A rated tyre could save you up to 6 litres of fuel when compared to a G rated tyre.
A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to G.
The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length. This makes average stopping distance between an A and G rated tyre 18m. That's 4 car lengths.
The exterior noise grade of a tyre is expressed in decibels - accompanied by one, two or three sound waves, with one wave being the best noise level performance.
To achieve the best grade, a tyre's noise level must be at least 3dB under the legal limit set by the EU.
The Bridgestone Dueler range has now been expanded to include the Dueler HP Sport tyre.
The Dueler HP Sport is primarily designed to deliver outstanding handling and grip for high performance 4WD Vehicles.
Designed with a high silica tread compound, the Dueler HP Sport also offers class leading wet performance and steering response as well as a head-turning sidewall design.
- Asymmetric Tread: Asymmetrical tyres have a tread pattern that is different from one side to another offering a balance for dry and wet grip.
- Low Noise: Tyre designed to reduce noise.
- Performance: Superior performance characteristics combining handling, cornering and braking.
- Steering Response: High level of steering response.
- Wet Performance: Exceptional handling in hazardous, wet conditions.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #291
From Psalm 127
Unless the Lord the house shall build,
The weary builders toil in vain;
Unless the Lord the city shield,
The guards a useless watch maintain.
In vain you rise ere morning break,
And late your nightly vigils keep,
And of the bread of toil partake;
God gives to his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are a great reward,
A gift from God in very truth;
With arrows is his quiver stored
Who joys in children of his youth.
And blest the man whose age is cheered
By stalwart sons and daughters fair;
No enemies by him are feared,
No lack of love, no want of care.

March 15, 2007
By Paul Feinberg
Cathy Le ('05) received a full scholarship to UCLA when she was only sixteen years old, then earned a degree in bio-chemistry, intending to become a doctor. Though she ultimately wavered from that lifelong goal, she continues to have something in common with her surgeon-side: A keen interest in golf.
Le's since made that interest her business. As CEO and founder of PinkCaddi, she and her company offer woman golfers fashionable apparel with far greater appeal than plaid and argyle. PinkCaddi's creations (designed by Le) are aimed at one of the fastest growing demographics in the sport, women under the age of 45. Le believes it's a niche that demands exploitation.
"Most apparel companies target the current market. At a country club most members' average age is forty-five-plus," Le said, referencing stats she picked up from visiting clubs in places like Del Mar and Pebble Beach. "Just on the available current marketplace where most players are older, present day economics suggest that what sells today are styles that appeal to that group."
The PinkCaddi collections sport whimsical names that reflect a youthful style. There's the Backswing Betty line ("for the earthy, on-the-go, grown up tomboy"), the Flirty Birdie (for "the fun loving, fashion forward, golf gal who wants something that exemplifies her flirty, fun-loving nature and bold fashion sense") the signature Prepped for Par collection and the 19th Hole (which features soy fabric in "feminine colors" like pink, mist and while, with "contrast piping details, button loops and baby pockets").
Le says she is placing a bet that her target demographic in the golf industry will grow and hopes that, as one of the first movers in this space, PinkCaddi will connect with they younger golfers. "There are several issues," she said. "but as the sport increases in commercial popularity, it will also increase with younger folks and in different ethnic groups."
At this point, PinkCaddi is growing, but only at a pace that the company can handle. The marketing has focused on trade shows and meetings with direct buyers at exclusive country clubs across the country. The company's fact sheet lists about a dozen stores (in addition to their website at pinkcaddi.com) that currently carry the lines. Le admits that they've avoided a more aggressive marketing and public relations approach, noting that until PinkCaddi is ready to do high-volume business, they can't move production overseas. With production done in the United States, costs are double. Her plan is to build interest and awareness, then make the necessary investment to move production abroad.
Building interest and awareness requires the right marketing plan. For that, Le's turned to MC-Squared, which happens to be the marketing firm where she became primary principal after graduating from Anderson. MC-Squared has worked with prominent businesses like Lennar, KB Homes and Coldwell Banker Previews. As it's currently set up, MC-Squared treats PinkCaddi as a client.
After college, Le worked on marketing and development campaigns for Princess Cruises and with several Fortune 500 companies. After a time, she realized that an MBA was in order.
"For me, it wasn't a hard decision," she said. "It was more of an exclusionary process. I realized my life goal was not to become a doctor after prepping hard to get into the best medical school. I decided to test other fields and didn't realize I needed an MBA until two-and-a-half years later. That sparked an interest in the Riordan Programs (she was a Riordan Fellow at UCLA Anderson) and that helped me understand the benefit of the Anderson program."
Le began working at MC-Squared while still a student at UCLA Anderson and wrote the business plan for PinkCaddi while still attending Anderson as well. She says that her analytical background as a scientist was well-complemented by the entrepreneurial path she studied. "Business school taught me to understand free thinking and maintain a certain flexibility," Le said. "You have to plan and do models, but there must be viability in your plans and as you move forward to operate a business you sometimes must find solutions that are not right in front of your face."
As of now, the plan is to continue both companies, continuing to add clients to the marketing and advertising company, while PinkCaddi seeks new distribution deals.

The Music Wall of Fame
Since 1997, the Department of Music has selected either an alumni or a former faculty member to honor them for their distinguished careers. This event has been a part of a Homecoming concert, a band concert or the annual faculty chamber ensemble recital, Autumn Collage. Correspondingly, a framed photograph with biography for each recipient has been hung on the WALL OF FAME, located on the third floor of the Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center, across from the Department of Music Office.
Since its inception, the honoree has been invited to be a part of the induction ceremony at a concert, been presented with the plaque, and appreciated by the audience at large. The Department of Music Wall of Fame committee is charged with the selection of each year's recipient(s). Through the years, he selection committee has been chaired by only two faculty members: John Carmichael (Florida State University alum) and Wayne Pope (University of South Carolina). Department of Music Heads who have served during this period have been John Duff (Michigan State University), Joseph Stites (University of Illinois) and Mitzi Groom (Florida State University). Potter College Dean has been David Lee (The Ohio State University). It is with a great deal of pride that the Department of Music continues this annual tradition.

Nearly every time I walk into the local drugstore to buy toothpaste, I walk out having spent around $50 on miscellaneous items.
Sound familiar? Impulse buying is a tough habit to kick. But smartphones might hold a few possible remedies for consumers in the form of free price-comparison apps.
NetPlenish, made by the company of the same name, is a free app for Apple's iOS or Android devices. Using a smartphone camera, it scans the bar codes on household items and pulls in competing prices from different online vendors, like Target.com and Walmart.com.
Once you've selected the products you want, the app makes the rest of the decisions for you, working behind the scenes to fulfill your order at the best possible price from the various online retailers. With a couple of clicks, you buy the goods and have them shipped to your home.
Apps that aggregate and compare item prices for you aren't new. Google Shopper, Amazon Price Check and ShopSavvy are just a few of the apps that let you scan barcodes in stores and find the same items online for comparable or lesser prices. Google Shopper even pulls up results for local stores, not just online listings. These apps can be incredibly helpful for consumers, provided they're willing to wait for shipping; and can be a nightmare for brick-and-mortar retailers.
But these don't package together your orders for you or promise to find you better deals on bundles the way NetPlenish does.
I've been using NetPlenish for the past five days, scanning more than a dozen household items. I've also used Google Shopper and Amazon Price Check on the same items. NetPlenish scanned items quickly and had a simple check-out process.
But I found that shipping fees sometimes counteracted the money the app saved me, and NetPlenish didn't say exactly when my goods would arrive. The Android app has flags indicating whether you'll pay for shipping or whether you qualify for free shipping; the iOS app will be updated to include these flags later this week. The app is also missing a couple other key features that would improve the experience, like an option for manually drafting a shopping list before heading to stores. I relied on the Notes app on my iPhone for this, and kept switching back and forth from that and the app.
After signing up and tying my debit card to the account, I was ready to start scanning. I used NetPlenish in a local drugstore, in a grocery store and at a local Target, price-checking everything from paper towels to bleach to boxes of granola bars.
The app is easy to use. The Grab Item tab is for scanning. Almost immediately after I pointed my phone at an item, the app would capture the bar code and begin searching online vendors. I've used a handful of bar code scanners in the past, and this one worked the fastest for me — I usually had results in less than 10 seconds. NetPlenish pulls results from over a dozen online vendors, including Target, Walgreens, Kmart, Walmart, Sephora and PetSmart.
From there, I could chose to add the items to My List, for purchasing later, or add them directly to My Cart, where I would eventually check out with one click.
At a Duane Reade pharmacy, I scanned a bottle of Clorox bleach that was $2.99 in the store. NetPlenish found me a bottle for $1.99 at Target.com. Boxes of pasta that were $2.15 on the grocery store shelf could be found for $1.29, also at Target.com, according to NetPlenish.
NetPlenish shows both the best price available that day and the average price offered through its online vendors. Once I clicked "Check Out," NetPlenish sent a confirmation email, then acted as a kind of personal shopper for me, sniffing out the best prices. A few minutes later, I received a confirmation email my order had been fulfilled. One such order showed that my items would come from both Target.com and Drugstore.com.
When users first place an order through NetPlenish, they agree to pay a certain amount that is the absolute maximum. In my case, my first order of a box of hair dye and a candle had a maximum price of just over $30. Then, when NetPlenish fulfilled that order for me, it sent a follow-up email pointing out that it found me a deal for $4 less than the maximum.
But with NetPlenish, I got so caught up in finding deals that I ended up paying more for shipping.
For example, I scanned some items that are either notoriously expensive — like sunscreen — or items that come in bulk, like soap, toilet paper and bottled water. NetPlenish found me a giant bottle of sunscreen at a good price, a 12-pack of toilet paper that was a dollar less than the in-store listing and an eight-pack of soap for $2 less. Tacked onto my order for $10 sunscreen and a $4 case of water was an $11 shipping fee — so I paid more than $25 for what would have been $21.84 in store. (It turned out that the best deal on sunscreen, by the way, was on Amazon.com.)
NetPlenish said it is working with vendors to lower shipping costs — or to offer free shipping, especially if a customer buys in bulk.
NetPlenish's biggest flaw is that it currently doesn't tell the user how long the delivery is going to take. The company says most items should arrive within two days to four days, but that wasn't conveyed either in my order confirmation emails or anywhere else in my account. With companies like Amazon offering its Prime subscribers free two-day shipping — and making that option apparent next to certain items on its site — anything other than clear communication about shipping seems unsophisticated.
In my experience, most of the items I ordered arrived in three or four days. But there are two items I'm still waiting on.
NetPlenish also doesn't show results for cheaper options at stores right in the neighborhood, the way Google Shopper does. NetPlenish said it will be adding search functionality, which is already available in the Android app, into the iOS version — so that users can search for a specific product — but it still won't tie in nearby brick-and-mortar results.
Later this week, NetPlenish's Web site, which is currently just a place for users to manage their accounts, will become a full-fledged e-commerce Web site. The company also plans to add opt-in notifications that remind users that it has been a couple weeks since they've ordered diapers, or a few months since they've purchased laundry detergent, based on users' buying patterns.
NetPlenish approaches comparison shopping in a unique way, though it's in its early stages and has some work to do. It's an app worth trying if you don't have an urgent need for items, but I wouldn't rely on it as your sole comparison shopping app right now.

Softball to play with more autonomy
News editor
Marion's softball team isn't just big this year, with 24 players; it is also deep enough that coach Jennifer Felvus expects she'll be able to make several lineup changes between games in double-headers to keep opponents from getting too comfortable without hurting the team's competitiveness.
She said the team made big improvements during the season last year in thinking about and understanding game situations. She expects the team to excel at making the smart plays this year, because the team held on to those improvements over the offseason.
Because of that, one of Felvus' goals is to do less instruction from the dugout during games. One example is that catchers will call their own games, instead of coaches calling in pitches. The catchers have been working on developing a rapport with pitchers, getting on the same page.
Felvus said that allowing the players more freedom to call the game and make adjustments can give them more confidence and ownership of the game.
The team has five returning starters from last year's varsity squad: Megan Richmond, Samantha Davies, Bailey Robson, Kayla Kroupa, and Reann Hamm, although several of them are changing positions. Davies will move to catcher after playing in the field most of last year, Kroupa will play more first base, and Robson will be the starting centerfielder.
Richmond, Kroupa, and freshman Shelby Felvus will pitch the most for the team. Jennifer Felvus said one of that trio's strengths is how different the pitchers are from each other, which will force opposing batters to make adjustments whenever there is a pitching change.
Richmond is very experienced, knows how to play situational defense, and is able to take a lot of pressure, Jennifer Felvus said. She said Kroupa has a strong arm and has good resolve as a pitcher, and that Shelby Felvus gets a lot of movement on breaking balls.
Jennifer Felvus said the team will put a good defense on the field behind its pitchers. She said she preaches to her players to never take a play off and never give up on making a play. She said the team has the skills to make plays if they don't concede.
She said she is excited about the offense because of improvements from last year. Richmond and Davies are solid hitters, and Robson and Kroupa have the ability to drive in runs.
She said she didn't think the team would have a single weak spot in its lineup. Early indications are that the team will have a lot more power than last year.
"Between bunting and base hits, we'll have it locked down," Felvus said.
She thinks the team has all the tools it needs to finish in the top half of the Heart of America League.
"Of course, I want No. 1. What coach doesn't?" she said.
The team starts the season Tuesday at Herington. Felvus expects the starting lineup for the first game of the doubleheader will be Samantha Davies, catcher; Megan Richmond, pitcher; Kayla Kroupa, first base; Megan Davies, second base; Shelby Felvus, shortstop; Reann Hamm, third base; Shayla Kline, left field; Bailey Robson, center field; Elizabeth Meyer, designated player; and Sheridyn Arterburn, right field (flex).

American Capital Is a Rare 'Cheap' BDC, and Here's Why
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The average stock in the yield-rich niche known as business development companies trades at about 8% above net asset value, according to Wells Fargo, reflecting investors' high opinion on the group lately. But one of the biggest is far cheaper, trading at just 74% of net assets.
Why? Trace part of the answer back to the hunt for yield and the policies of the Federal Reserve, which have driven investors to what the Wells analysts term "irrationality" in their treatment of one company versus its peers.
Whereas many BDCs pay dividends in the range of 5%, 6% or more, American Capital (ACAS) is the one that doesn't pay a dividend. The discount to its valuation is probably not a coincidence.
"Large" is relative: American Capital has a $4.3 billion market value. This small-to-midcap stock is the second biggest in the BDC universe, behind $4.8 billion Ares Capital (ARCC).
From Wells Fargo analysts Jonathan Bock and Ronald Jewsikow, who counter arguments about American Capital's tough history (take a look at a 5-year stock chart) with a comparison to another in the group, MCG Capital (MCGC):
On a price to NAV basis, we believe the stock is compellingly cheap at 0.74x NAV relative to the BDC average currently trading at 1.08x. Yet surprisingly, we see that ACAS trades at a much more discounted level than other BDCs with past problems. For example, MCGC (a BDC with past problems) trades at 0.98x NAV despite the fact it experienced many more credit problems throughout the cycle. We attribute some of this discount to market irrationality as ACAS does not pay a yield. This should have no bearing on the market value of ACAS assets, but we believe it is a reason for the irrationality in the share price.
What's more, the company's net asset value has been growing:
Not only does ACAS trade at a discount to NAV, but ACAS continues to grow NAV via improved portfolio company values and stock buybacks. YTD NAV increased to $19.04, up from $17.84 (7% increase) last quarter and $15.71 this time last year. Note that a meaningful portion of this NAV upside is tied to the growth in ACAS's asset management subsidiary (discussed below) as well as improvement in its
European lending business (ECAS).
Market Vectors BDC Income ETF (BIZD) is ahead by 1.6% Thursday and is slightly into positive territory since its mid-February launch. The leveraged UBS ETRACS 2X Leveraged Long Wells Fargo Business Development Company ETN (BDCL) is ahead by 2.9%, and up about 8% on the year.

The publicity garnered by "The Phantom of the Opera" over its 10,000th performance a couple of weeks ago may be paying off: The 24-year-old Broadway stalwart saw sales spike in Week 39 (Feb. 20-26), standing out in a frame that proved relatively healthy for most of the Rialto.
"Phantom" ($985,906) was up more than $180,000, or 23%.
Adding to the pot were robust returns for "Death of a Salesman" ($692,172 for seven perfs); the revival broke a B.O. record at the Barrymore Theater in its second week of previews. The production turns consumer heads with a well-known title and a cast that includes Philip Seymour Hoffman and Andrew Garfield.
"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" ($823,986) saw a notable rise, with the musical revival probably starting to benefit from the incipient cycle of academic breaks that can bring out the youthful fans of Nick Jonas, the production's most recent topliner.
"Stick Fly" ($449,964), meanwhile, got a push from last-minute biz in its final frame on the boards, climbing 23%.
Overall, sales were up slightly, climbing about $245,000 to $20.3 million for the 26 shows on the boards. Attendance was up around 7,000 to 217,156.
The 17 musicals grossed $16,225,943 for 79.9% of the Broadway total, with attendance of 167,119 and an average paid admission of $97.09.

Rocca delle Macie Chianti Classico 1998
Winemaker Notes
Bouquet: Intensely vinous.
Taste: Dry, well balanced with a good scent of wild fruit.
This wine is particularly well suited to dishes of red meat, roasts and game.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
When the late Italo Zingarelli, a former boxer and film producer, bought Rocca delle Macìe in Tuscany's Chianti Classico district back in 1973, he embarked on a new career as one of Tuscany's more unlikely wine producers.
It was certainly not intended to be a hobby... it was a vocation, a desire to return to the soil." Zingarelli, who passed away in the spring of 2000, was always quick to point out.
Working closely with his son Sergio, Zingarelli set about restoring the property that Sergio together with his wife Daniela, who plays an active role in the day-to-day management of the estate, and their two children now call home. Then a tumbled down 14th-century farmstead near the village of Castellina in Chianti, it was surrounded by acres of neglected vines. Vineyards were replanted from scratch; further property, was acquired, and a state-of-the-art cellar built and installed with the latest winemaking equipment. The Zingarellis left nothing to chance in their quest to create a stellar Tuscan wine estate.
Organic fertilization, careful pruning, the introduction of small oak barrels for aging and harvesting by hand are just some of the practices Sergio and his father instituted at the estate. Rocca is an active member of the Chianti Classico growers' consortium, which takes the black rooster as its symbol.

The Catastrophic Theatre Sets 2013 Gala for 4/27
In the spring of 1993 Jason Nodler, Tamarie Cooper, and a group of friends got together to put on Nodler's musical play In the Under Thunderloo in a punk rock club--and they have been freaking out Houston audiences ever since.
Please join us at this very special celebration of the artists that have entertained, confounded, mesmerized, mystified, shocked, and thrilled Houston audiences for the last twenty years.
But even if this is your very first Catastrophic event, and even if you've never even heard of Jason and Tamarie, it is a well-known fact that The Catastrophic Theatre still throws the wildest parties in town. We'll doll up local treasure The Last Concert Cafe with twenty years worth of memories for those of you that like that sort of thing but there's so much more to enjoy.
Dance the night away to amazing music played by a super-group made up of musicians from over 20 years worth of musical plays. We'll be performing songs and scenes from 20 years worth of weird-ass shows including Speeding Motorcycle, Bluefinger, Tamalalia!, The Kinks Present A Soap Opera, Fleaven, In the Under Thunderloo, and others.
Wanna play dress up? We do. Take a trip back to the era when all this theatre-making magic began. The 1990's!
This was the decade that brought you productions by Jason & Tamarie but there was some other stuff going on as well: Pulp Fiction, MC Hammer, Urkel, Twin Peaks, Baywatch, Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love, OJ Simpson, Blossom, The X-Files, NSYNC, The Spice Girls, The Pixies, Billy Ray Cyrus, Brittney Spears, The Matrix, Monica Lewinski, Jack Kevorkian, the Hale Bopp Comet, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The possibilities are endless. Surprise us. Or just grab your favorite flannel shirt or that neon baby doll dress you've still got hanging in the back of the closet and get ready for some SERIOUS FUN.
Tex-mex. Tequila. Tasty treats. Barrels of Beer. Music. Theatre. Dancing bacon. Cavemen. Costumes. Memories.

Stop Hormone Therapy After 5 Years?
Last Reviewed: December 7, 2007
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
After five years of Arimidex, I have now been told by my oncologist to stop taking it. Wouldn't it be better to take it just in case it might do some good? There are many problems I would prefer to a breast cancer recurrence.
Nancy Zieber, RN, MSN, CRNP, Oncology/Hematology Nurse Practitioner, responds:
It seems simple, but the research just does not support ongoing hormonal therapy. We have been fooled in the past, and Tamoxifen is a prime example. When Tamoxifen was continued for longer than 5 years, the recurrence rate actually went up compared to those on placebo. So, things aren't always as simple as they seem. Consider yourself cured, and keep that in mind whenever you feel worried about recurrence.

Were you at RIAT on the Sunday? It was more of a 'moment' than the display itself; It had been raining pretty persistently and in monumental amounts for the whole day, so much so that the very large majority of the FRIAT stand had gone inside the tent or elsewhere at the end of the RNZAF 757 display. Only a few people (myself included) stayed for the King Air display, but as the first few bars of 'Mr Blue Sky' rang out across the tannoy a large break in the clouds appeared which bathed the whole display in warm afternoon light. Just as the song wound up and Leon made his final pass, the clouds closed over again. It was magical!

e9_tags 0.0.14
An extension to ActsAsTaggableOn which "improves" on custom tagging, or at least makes it more dynamic. Additionally it provides some autocomplete rack apps and the corresponding javascript.
E9Tags requires jquery and jquery-ui for the autocompletion and tag-adding form, be sure they're loaded in your pages where the tags form will be rendered.
E9Tags extends ActsAsTaggableOn and requires it. Run it's generator if you have not.
Run the E9Tags install script to copy over the required JS
rails g e9_tags:install
Then make sure it is loaded, how you do that doesn't matter, e.g.
<%= javascript_include_tag 'e9_tags' %>
Create an initializer for that sets up the taggable models and their controllers. This gives the models the tag associations and methods and prepares their controller to handle the otherwise unexpected tag params.
require 'e9_tags' require 'contacts_controller' require 'contact' E9Tags.controllers << ContactsController E9Tags.models << Contact
You can just include the modules in your classes yourself. The first way really exists for the case where the classes you wish to extend are part of another plugin/gem.
# in contact.rb include E9Tags:Model # in contacts_controller.rb include E9Tags::Controller
Render the tags form partial in whatever model forms require it.
= render 'e9_tags/form', :f => f
If you pass a context, it will be locked and no longer possible to change/add the contexts on the form (and as a side effect, the tags autocompletion will be restricted to that context).
= render 'e9_tags/form', :f => f, :context => :users
Finally if you pass a 2nd arg to :context you can set a tag context to be "private" (default is false). In this case the tag context will be locked as private (typically suffixed with *), meaning that the tags will not be publicly searchable/visible. This is useful for organizational tags tags, say if you wanted to arbitrarily group records, or create a custom search based on a tag context.
= render 'e9_tags/form', :f => f, :context => [:users, true]
NOTE: The form and javascript are intended to work out of the box, but the certainly aren't going to look pretty. If you do intend to use the forms, you'll no doubt need to style them.

Like many here, I've watched many news casts from that day and thought I'd noticed everything. However, while cruising another website recently I clicked on a thread and then a video which showed me something I never noticed before and hadn't recalled reading about it here either. If I'm wrong forgive me.
The link is here: https://archive.org/details/cbs200109110831-0912
CBS Sept. 11, 2001 8:31 am - 9:12 am
If you watch at 31:38 we see the airplane enter from the top of the screen and then goes behind the smoke screen, then a few seconds later at 31:49 the camera angle changes and we see the plane come in from the right side of the screen at the bottom, travel left and slam into the tower.
I watched the different camera angles and couldn't reconcile how that plane coming in from above could then be shown to come in from the side with such a minor variation in angles.
Is it just me or is that flight path between the two shots strange?
