American Idol Season 6 - The Beat-down
There are train wreck spectacles on television that make you grit your teeth in quiet pain, and then there are the emotionally wrenching trainwrecks that make you squirm in agony. Those catastrophic moments were aplenty during the sixth season, opening audition episodes of American Idol.
Yes, I am probably the billionth blogger to post on American Idol, the American pop-culture juggernaut that debuted its sixth season last week. This is my first time paying any significant amount of attention to the most popular show on American television, so I figure I might as well join the rest of the bloggers who compusively write about the show. I have watched a few episodes in the past, and became particularly intrigued toward the end of last season. It wasn't appointment television, but it was close.
This year, I figured it would be fun to watch the season, post thoughts, and basically play along at home. A few talking points on what I saw last week:
- The festivities kicked off with a bang in Minneapolis, where a young female who idolized the singer Jewel got her dream: a chance to audition in front of her idol. Of course, the female Idol contestant was no good, and Jewel was forced to tell her she didn't have "it." The girl walked away with tears in her eyes, seeking consolation from her family and boyfriend. Quality television, for sure.
- The most hysterical scene involved a young African-American woman who couldn't get the lyrics down to the song "Kiss" by hometown hero Prince. As she fumbled her words, she attempted to compensate with a series of awkward dance moves that ended with her kneeling on the ground. Not a good look.
- One girl who must have been a big hit in her high school production of "The Wizard of Oz" tried to win the panel over with her rendition of the cowardly Lion's solo, complete with guttaral lion growls. Her growl sounded more akin to Chewbacca of Star Wars fame.
- The guy in the sailor suit and receding hairline won over the judges big time, proving one theory for success: balding guys in military uniform with halfway decent talent earn big points.
- The Seattle auditions were particularly awful. I was worried that no one was going to be selected. The auditions were saved by a 6-foot-5 black girl who could blow with the gale force of a Northwestern wind storm.
- It was hard to say who I felt most sorry for, but I'm pretty sure it was the skinny white guy who claimed to be a vocal coach. Randy Jackson stripped him down to the bone with the line "I would not pay money take lessons from you." You know dude is unemployed and looking for work in the want ads right about now.
- The narrator kep setting up the fact that Seattle was chock full of weirdos, but I wasn't prepared for the burly, bearded, red-head who was confident his falsetto would knock everyone out the box. When he started singing, his voiced had more cracks than a pound of cocaine and baking soda in the kitchen.
- The rock star guy who went on last during the Seattle tryouts deserves to go to the top 12 of the guys. He displayed the most talent of any of the contestants to this point, and he has the look to go along with it.
- As bad as everyone in Seattle was, I have to admit, I could never bring myself to audition for American Idol. It takes a special kind of masochist, I mean, person, to get in front of the camera, before a nation of millions, and suck grapefruits with confidence.

Noise levels are NEVER adhered to….
Noise–well above the allowable 10 decibels above ambient–is the take-away from data gathered on December 13, 2013. Stephen Ambrose charted readings HMMH recorded that night. Green areas show the allowable limit. Readings above that level are highlighted in pink. He notes that the turbines were not even running at full power.

Jennifer Hudson to perform in The Color Purple, but not as Celie/
Jennifer Hudson is indeed coming to Broadway this year! As previously speculated, the Oscar and Grammy winner will make her Great White Way debut in the John Doyle-helmed revival of The Color Purple; however, instead of playing Celie, as The New York Post mistakenly reported, Hudson will take on the role of Shug Avery.Although further casting has yet to be announced, Broadway.com has learned that the show's producers, including Oprah Winfrey and Scott Sanders, are in talks with Cynthia Erivo, who played the role of Celie in the 2013 staging at London's Menier Chocolate Factory, to reprise her performance across the pond.
Hudson won an Oscar for Dream girls. Her additional film and TV credits include American Idol, Sex and the City, The Secret Life of Bees, Winnie Mandela, The Three Stooges, Smash and Black Nativity. She won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for 2008's Jennifer Hudson. The Color Purple features a book by Marsha Norman, lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray and music by Russell and Willis. Based on the novel by Alice Walker, the musical tells the story of Celie, a woman who, through love, finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discovers her voice in the world. Doyle's stripped-down production opened in London on July 15, 2013. The new staging cuts approximately 30 minutes of material from the original incarnation.

The city of Grandview Heights will be on the May 4 ballot with an income tax levy.
The city of Grandview Heights will be on the May 4 ballot with an income tax levy.
City council voted 5-2 Feb. 16 to place a measure to increase the city's income tax to 2.5 percent.
Council members Steve Von Jasinski and Ed Hastie voted against the resolution.
The levy would also increase the credit given to Grandview residents who pay income taxes to another municipality to 2.25 percent.
The levy resolution also states that 5 percent of all income tax revenue will be specifically allocated for capital expenditures, although that language will not be included in the levy as it will appear on the ballot.
The temporary income tax increase voters approved in 2005 is set to expire at the end of this year. The income tax was collected at 2.5 percent in 2006-08 and at 2.25 percent the past two years.
If approved by voters, the new tax rate will go into effect July 1.
Neither Hastie nor Von Jasinski commented on their vote during the Feb. 16 meeting.
When asked to comment after the meeting, Hastie declined.
In an interview, Von Jasinski said he voted against the resolution because he doesn't believe the income tax levy addresses the overall problem the city is facing -- that expenditures are chronically running higher than revenues.
"We're asking for a Band-aid or aspirin instead of asking for the doctor," he said.
The city must find ways to restructure how it provides its services and/or how they are funded, Von Jasinski said.
"We're just pushing this down the road for another council to have to address in the future," he said.
Council member and finance committee chair Anthony Panzera said he understands Von Jasinski's concerns about expenditures.
"I just don't agree with his methods," he said.
"A no vote on this issue is the wrong way to handle what would otherwise be a really good idea to improve the structure of the city budget," Panzera said. "I would definitely encourage all on council to continue to seek creative and even aggressive ways to reduce our expenditures immediately and in the future."
It has never been suggested that the income tax levy would mean the city would not have to address its expenditures, he said.
But council can't really address expenditures until residents have a chance to vote on increasing the income tax rate again to 2.5 percent or having it revert back to 2 percent, Panzera said.
The city of Columbus has already increased its tax rate to 2.5 percent, and 63 percent of Grandview residents are already paying that amount because they work outside of the city, he said.
"It doesn't make sense for us not to at least ask our residents to increase our rate to 2.5 percent when 63 percent of our residents are already paying that rate," Panzera said.
"It's hard for me to believe that the services we are providing are not the level of services people want," DeGraw said "Look at the last levy vote. We're asking to go (back) to 2.5 percent again."
If the city's income tax reverts back to 2 percent, it would represent a loss of revenue that would equal about 10 percent of the city's overall budget, Panzera said.
The impact would be felt almost immediately, DeGraw said.
Without the levy's passage, the city "would be out of money before the end of 2011," he said.
"We're not looking to do something big here, like build a new city building or expand our services or buy new equipment," DeGraw said. "This is so we can maintain what we have."
The city must find ways to restructure how it provides its services and/or how they are funded, Von Jasinski said.
Partnering with other municipalities in a joint fire district or using individual levies or park and recreation or fire services are examples of the kind of ideas the city needs to consider, he said.
"We should still be a full-service city. But we need to change the dynamics and matrix of how things are funded, Von Jasinski said. "We need to sit down and seriously look at these things, and we haven't done that yet."
DeGraw said Von Jasinski has been involved in past discussions about the feasibility the concept of joint fire districts and should know better than to continue to raise that as a workable option.
"We've looked at this two or three times before and I've told Steve I'd be willing to look at the joint fire operation idea if you could show me that it would actually save us money," he said. "So far, he hasn't been able to show me that."
Having a local fire operation "is one of the services I think our residents feel close to," DeGraw said.
The city made extensive cuts in its expenditures in 2005 when its revenue stream was drastically reduced due to the loss of Big Bear and other major taxpayers.
"We essentially cut 10 percent of our staff at that time," he said. "Every department got reduced and we reorganized how we use people."
He is working with department heads to find ways to immediately cut another $300,000, he said.
"Ever since I've been in office I've had to operate under a tight budget, and we are running lean," DeGraw said. "It would be hard to cut even further."

Tainted Chinese Drywall Concerns Went Unreported for Two Years – ProPublica
A leading East Coast homebuilder learned four years ago that the Chinese-manufactured drywall it had installed in several Florida homes was emitting foul odors, according to documents obtained by ProPublica and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The company, WCI Communities, was so concerned that it started planning to tear out the material and rebuild the houses. But it never disclosed the problem to the bulk of its customers or to government authorities.

Municipal Corporation Of Karnal — Lighting in green belt of Sector 6 Karnal
Not very long ago you had very kindly installed lights in the green belt of Sector 6 in front of Tagore School.It was a deterrent against unwanted elements who sometimes broke into houses from the green belt side and also consumed alcohol in the green belt during the dark of nights.
But lights on poll no.6th and 7th, starting from Meerut Road towards Sai Baba Mandir, have been out or order for long.It has again given some freedom to unwanted elements which is sometimes evident from the empty bottles of alcohol and plastic glasses which we see when we go for a walk in the morning.It also jeopardises the security of green belt residents.
I request you to kindly activate the lights on these polls nos. 6th and 7th at the earliest.

Motlow Profile: Ashley Donaldson, Nursing graduate
The "True Grit" of Ashley Donaldson, Motlow State Nursing graduate, adult learner
Ashley Donaldson, recent Motlow State Community College nursing graduate, is the definition of true grit. Google "true grit" and you get this: "A gritty person is one who tends to stick to their goals despite numerous issues, problems, setbacks and failures. The person has firmness of mind and unyielding courage. The synonyms of true grit are: fortitude and determination."
The Motlow success story of Ashley, a 30-year-old, single mother of three, is truly one of fortitude and determination.
In June 2016 Ashley received her letter of acceptance to the Motlow nursing program. That same week, she discovered she was pregnant with her third child. Undaunted by the pregnancy, Ashley was firm in her resolve to get her nursing degree in two years.
She came up with a plan, and put it into action. "When I decided to go to nursing school I had so many obstacles to overcome," said Donaldson. "So I decided to treat school like it was my job. I scheduled myself to be at school 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on lecture days. Once lecture was over, I found a quiet place and studied until 4 p.m."
After lecture and studying she would pick up the kids from school and get them started on homework and studying, helping them as needed. Then dinner and baths. Then start the whole process over the next day.
One major obstacle she faced was her unexpected pregnancy. Her due date was five days after her last clinical. She worried if the baby came early, she could miss the clinical and not finish the semester. She delivered on a Thursday, only one day early. While recovering in the hospital she studied for a test on the following Monday, which she successfully took. She was not to be denied!
Throughout her two years of nursing school, however, Ashley never lost focus on her family. Her grit gave her strength to be the mother she wanted and needed to be while keeping up with her studies. Although there were times when she missed her kid's soccer or basketball games, she spent as much time with them as possible to, as she puts it, "soak up every ounce of love and motivation that I could to get rid of the mommy guilt that comes along with not spending much time with your kids."
According to Ashley, "There are so many challenges non-traditional students face, such as finding childcare, the money for childcare, hoping your car will last, money for food and mortgage, not having access to the internet, having clinicals that are an hour and a half away from home, finding time to study; and the list goes on."
She met each challenge head-on, planning her work and then working her plan. She hung a big calendar in her living room so she could see it constantly. She literally counted down everything she did to make time for her own studying. She did dozens of pages of clinical paperwork every week during her oldest son's basketball practices. To stay motivated, she listened to podcasts while in the shower. She posted motivational quotes everywhere to keep herself going. She took yoga to stay grounded. Despite the obstacles she encountered, she always kept her eye on the prize; her degree from Motlow State Community College.
Ashley will begin working at Centennial Medical Center at the end of June in the Cardiac Special Care unit. She is also starting work on her bachelor's degree in nursing at Tennessee Tech University this fall, and hopes someday to work in women's health.
"I believe that women are an incredible force to be reckoned with, and we have the power to dramatically change and shape healthcare," and she adds," I want to be part of that!"
Based on what she has accomplished so far in life, it is a pretty good bet that Ashley Donaldson will do just that.

Sunday Dinner: Short Ribs with Goat Cheese Polenta and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
My mom was visiting me this weekend and we whipped this up for our faux-Thanksgiving meal. This is a great idea for a Sunday dinner or as an alternative to a turkey or steak for a special occasion.
Slow Cooker Wine Braised Short Ribs with Goat Cheese Polenta and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Serves 4
3-4 lbs short ribs, cut about 1 1/2" thick (about 8-10 pieces)
Salt & pepper
2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 - 14 oz can diced or chopped tomatoes
2 cups dry red wine (like Chianti, Cabernet or Burgundy - whatever you like)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup corn meal
4-6 oz. goat cheese
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
4 1/2 cups water
Brussels Sprouts:
1 lb Brussels sprouts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
Short Ribs...
In a large saute pan or cast iron skillet, heat the oil over med-high heat. Salt and pepper the short ribs on all sides. Add to the skillet and sear on each side until slightly browned all around. Remove to crock pot. Add garlic and onions to skillet and saute until soft. Add the can of tomatoes and the wine and heat/stir until just boiling. Add to crock pot with the meat. Set slow cooker to low heat and cook for about 6 1/2 hours. Go out and get your hair done or go see a movie while the magical crock pot cooks your dinner for you!
Later that day...
At the 6 hour mark start your sides.
Brussels Sprouts...
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash and drain the sprouts. Cut the ends and dirty leaves off and cut each sprout in half. Line a baking sheet with foil (easy clean up) and spread the cut sprouts on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper (I eyeball the amounts - use what makes you happy) and toss to coat.
Add the sheet to the hot oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the 4.5 cups of water to a saucepan and heat to boiling. Once boiling, pour in the corn meal in a thin stream while whisking feverishly (just kidding, just whisk continuously or the corn will stick to the bottom). Turn the heat down to med-low or low and simmer them from this point for about 15 minutes, whisking occasionally. If the polenta starts to look too thick, add a couple tablespoons of water. After the 15 minutes add the goat cheese, butter and parsley and stir until melted/incorporated. Add the black pepper to taste. Leave on low heat until ready to serve.
Short ribs...
Remove the ribs from the crock pot and place on your serving platter and cover with foil. The meat should be literally falling off the bones at this point. Strain out the tomatoes and onions from the crock pot and return the remaining sauce back into a saute or sauce pan. Heat the liquid to a slow boil and whisk in the tomato paste. Lower the heat to a simmer and whisk occasionally about 6-8 minutes until the sauce is reduced to about 1 cup. Serve right over the meat or in a small gravy dish on the side.
Serve the short ribs over the polenta with the sprouts on the side. Drink lots of wine. Enjoy!
(The short rib recipe is adapted from Rachael Ray Magazine and the goat cheese polenta recipe from the Pioneer Woman on The Food Network.)

A £65,000 investment in Lincolnshire's first private pet cremation suite means grieving owners now have a place to say goodbye to their beloved companions.
The family-run Lincolnshire Pet Crematorium, in Meere's Lane, has opened the suite, which mirrors the final stages of a human cremation.
Co-director Sylvia Carter said: "Our new private cremation suite makes the whole process much more transparent and easier to understand.
"For some people losing a much-loved pet is as hard as losing a family member.
"But with our new facility we're able to offer them the best possible experience in saying goodbye to them, and give owners reassurance that they're leaving with the ashes of their much loved pet."
An official opening took place in April and Sylvia said: "All our customers who came to our launch were really impressed. Everyone said how lovely the setting and facility were, with views out across the garden."
Sylvia and co-director husband Stephen will be taking a step back and handing over the running of the business to daughter Clare Kerslake and husband Craig.
The family run business first opened in 1989.
The new 10 ton stainless steel cremator came following customer feedback.
"The business is getting busier and busier since we started 27 years ago," said Sylvia.
"Last year we carried out just under 3,000 private cremations using our existing facility, and this number increased to nearly 12,000 when you add in the number of vet referred cremations.
"The new investment means that the business has the capacity to grow in the future, and possibly take on more staff."
The money for the investment was sourced through an HSBC business loan.
Ashes can be taken home, or scattered in the garden of remembrance. A wide range of urns are available.
With permission from the Home Office, above ground vaults can hold human and pet ashes together.
The land has been blessed by the local vicar, who continues to conductservices.
Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce chief executive Simon Beardsley added: "It's great to hear about an established Lincolnshire business like Lincolnshire Pet Crematorium successfully getting funding to expand their growing business.
"It is success stories like this which help paint a colourful picture of the real people behind Lincolnshire's business community, and show the great achievements they can attain with the right support."

NOW until 7th July 2018 @ Autograph ABP, Rivington Place, London EC2A 3BA
'We search for our mothers in order to find ourselves. The black mother is the instrument and embodiment of history. My mother is "The Object of My Gaze"' – Marcia Michael
In 'I Am Now You – Mother', Marcia Michael visualises the act of matri-lineage through the body of her mother, Myrtle McKnight.
Michael uses photography and oral history to retrieve lost and re-imagined narratives of her matri-lineal ancestry, creating an intimate dialogue between mother and daughter in order visualise history from her mother's memory. In the artist's own words: 'my desire is to recover a visual and aural narrative of my matri-lineal history and reunite the present with the past. The body is testament to the refusal to forget. The body, my mother's body, is all of my histories'.
Adapting call and response as a visual methodology, Michael's call for historical understanding is met by her mother's response permitting the search to be mediated through her body. The resulting visual conversation is unsettling in its revelatory rawness, and affirmative in its courageous offering: a 'dialogue of matri-lineage'.
Concerned with ancestral history and re-remembering, many of the photographs' titles include the Latin Partus sequitur ventrem: 'that which is brought forth follows the womb'. This historical law, which decreed that the social status of the mother is inherited by the child, shapes the mother for Michael as both maker and marker of history.
In the video 'Remembering You Remember M'e, Myrtle McKnight is presented in five simultaneous frames, each retelling the birth of her child. The layered, poly-vocal narrative of her uncensored maternal voice creates a powerful and disorientating effect, recovering the history of a matri-lineal memory.
The exhibition includes a selection of works from Marcia Michael's multidisciplinary project 'The Object of My Gaze' (2015–17).
FREE EXHIBITION at Autograph ABP
Exhibition opening times:
- Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Thursday 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
- Saturday 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
The gallery is closed on Sundays, Mondays and Public Holidays.

Doctor of Education in Special Education
The Department of Special Education is not accepting students for the Ed.D. at this time.
Graduate Admission to the School of Education
Graduate programs in education are open to students with acceptable baccalaureate and graduate degrees whose academic records indicate that they can do successful work at the graduate level. Regular admission requires a grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in prior degrees. Individual departments may require additional information and may have more stringent admission requirements.
Some departments may offer special provisional admission categories to students who may not qualify under regular admission criteria. Departments that offer provisional admission require a grade-point average of at least 2.5. Applicants must provide evidence of ability to work successfully at the graduate level, including experience in and commitment to the profession. Exceptions to established policies must be sought individually by petition to the Graduate Division of the School of Education.
See Admission in the Graduate Studies section of the online catalog for more information.
Each department in the School of Education sets its own application deadlines. Prospective graduate students should contact their departments for more information.
Ed.D. Degree Program
The doctoral degree program encourages and supports students working with faculty in cutting-edge research and development related to effective education in the field of disabilities. The Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs are similar, but serve different needs for special educators seeking advanced knowledge and leadership skills. Both degrees require intensive and rigorous study in special education foundations, disability issues, curriculum, teaching, program development, and research. The Graduate Record Examination is required for admission.
Doctor of Education
This degree is designed for master special educators who seek leadership positions in public school and other agencies related to program leadership, administration, development, and evaluation. Students complete a sequence of courses emphasizing applied research knowledge and skills. Specific core and research courses for the Ed.D. are required.

Xbox One Adds Two More Games To Backwards Compatibility List
Brothers and bots.
Microsoft has added two more games to the Xbox One backwards compatibility list, featuring two very different kinds of combat. Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is set against the backdrop of a historical event, while AirMech Arena is a futuristic battle arena game.
Hell's Highway from Gearbox Software received a positive reception at launch, as GameSpot's review credited it with a resonant story and beautiful visual design. It even sported an optional "authentic" difficulty mode that removed HUD elements. On the other hand, though, critic Chris Watters suggested that parts of the story are spotty because they rely too heavily on prior knowledge of the Brothers in Arms series. It's available for purchase for $20 through the Xbox Marketplace.
AirMech Arena was a smaller-scale Arcade release, and received mixed reviews on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. The base game is free-to-play, with an optional "Prime" upgrade for $20 that unlocks all the classes and units and grants permanent Silver VIP status, and 30 days of Gold status.
As always, if you already own either of these games digitally, you can find them in your existing game library and download them to your Xbox One at any time now that they've been updated with backwards compatibility. Or, if you own Brothers in Arms on disc, you can pop that into your system.
Microsoft has been steadily adding backwards compatible games to the Xbox One, usually one or two at a time, and has built up a library of hundreds. Be sure to check out the full backwards compatibility list to see if any more of your favorites have been added.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for other deals on recent games, you can check out two ongoing sales on the Xbox Live Marketplace now. One celebrates critically acclaimed games while the weekly sale features mostly Square Enix games.

Page 2: Benefiting from a franchise arrangement
Franchising is one of the most important ways of running modern business organisations. The franchisor grants to a franchisee the right to conduct business using their name in a particular area. For example, in Great Britain Coca-Cola and Schweppes Beverages Ltd is the company that holds the GB franchise with six bottling/canning plants. The franchisee will have the exclusive right to bottle and can the product within a specified geographical area and is given considerable support by the franchisor. The main advantage to the franchisor of setting up a franchise is that responsibility for producing the product is delegated to a dynamic local enterprise, determined to make a success of the venture because most of the profit will be retained by the franchisee.
The benefits to the franchisee are immense. Above all, they are able to manufacture widely known products, they have exclusive rights within a particular area and they are able to benefit from technical advice and support from the franchisor. Moreover, in the case of Coca-Cola, the franchisee is able to benefit from the sheer scale of the organisation, enabling them to purchase manufacturing equipment which is based on state-of-the-art technology at a lower price. It is not surprising that most of the world's leading bottling companies have become Coca-Cola franchisees. By participating in the franchise arrangement, they are able to bottle and sell the classic Coca-Cola drink to retailers and trade using the most popular and famous brand in the world today. The classic Coca-Cola drink consists of water and a mixture of sugar, caramel (which adds colour), phosphoric acid (which adds tartness), caffeine (a mild stimulant found in coffee and tea) and natural flavourings. The proportions of these ingredients in the Coca-Cola concentrate are a closely guarded trade secret, though all ingredients comply with the health laws of the countries where it is made and sold. The exact combination of these flavourings is known mysteriously as 'Seven-X' and the formula lies locked in a bank vault in Atlanta. It is said that only three people know the formula.
The Coca-Cola brand image is widely recognised throughout the world and has become a symbol of successful global marketing. The script for Coca-Cola has not changed since first written by Frank Robinson, book-keeper to the inventor of Coca-Cola, John Styth Pemberton. The Coca-Cola franchisee therefore has access to one of the most highly desired products and one of the most successful marketing distribution systems in the world.

Allison over at "Stampin When I Can" posted a funny card that reminded me of my experience parking the other day....I could have sure used one of these cards myself the other day (see below)
My car is the yellow bug. I came out from the store and this is what I found. I had to get in my car from the PASSENGER's (EDITED: I SAID DRIVER'S I MEANT PASSENGER) side. I was so mad that I took a picture from my cell phone. I was going to call the parking police or something. There were no cars to the left of idiot or to the right of me??? I think the guy was drunk or blind or something. Just thought I'd share the fun parking in California. Just needed to whine.

Instant gratification from the BDJ team. Paid on Friday, Received on Wednesday. Awesome!
Tadaa! My November BDJ box
Theme of the month: Take me with you. I love it! It's just in time for when most of us will be going on vacation for the Christmas/New Year holidays. Sample size is the perfect travel size so maybe I'll bring some of these on our vacation.
The box is really compact and sturdy. I am really impressed with how they pack these things. Since I opened it, I haven't been able to close it properly and I even took out the paper confetti! I know I called it ugly in my Ultimate Guide, but after having a photo shoot with all the items, I mussayyy it's grown on me!
What I'm most excited about:
- Nippon Cleansing Sponge - Washing accessories are really great for dry skin.
- Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam and Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Day Cream - I wonder if this will be better than my current cleanser and moisturizer. It's really cute!
- L'Occitane Extra Gentle Milk Soap - L'Occitane products are notoriously heavenly-smelling!
- Physiogel Hypo-allergenic Intensive Cream - My friend once told me this is good for "chicken skin." Watch out for my before and after review.
Other stuff in here:
- Garnier Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream - I have daily sun exposure and I'm pretty much dreading having to hide my face on my daily morning walk (as you should when you use whiteners and peelers).
- Dentiste PlusWhite - Herbapeutic toothpaste formulated to fight morning breath. I'll have to check with my family for a smell test harhar!
- Yuka Non-Acetone Wipes - I love doing my nails too, but only when I have the time and energy. I'm on the fence about this one 'cause I use pure acetone and it easily removes polish. Acetone that we usually get to buy from stores is around 40-60%. Non-acetone products usually do even worse than store-bought acetone.
Bonus stuff!
- L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Multi-ACtion 8 Cleanser - Maybe I can ask my dad to try this out.
- Garnier Light Complete Whitening Cream - I'm not too interested in whitening my face. I'll probably just review this when I have nothing left to do.
- L'Oreal Professionel INOA Hair Color and X-tenso voucher for Azta Urban Salon - I think I can use this after my sister's wedding for when I go red again :) I don't know about the extenso/perm discount 'cause I'm kind of set on getting this done at Tony and Jackey, who gets wave sizes just right.
- Strip Upper Lip Waxing voucher - I thread my upper lip 'cause I usually get residues when I get myself waxed. Meh on this one.
- Shiseido FREE product sample, quick facial and 15% discount - I used to get my make up from Shiseido but I might just check it out again. I think they have good blush.
- L'Occitane 10% off - Meh. I'm not much into skin care.
That's 13 items! And for P480 /box, definitely not bad. I'm super excited for my December and January boxes. I'm even thinking of getting the February one too, just 'cause it's Valentine's :P Check them out at bdjbox.com
Bought a compact? Watch out for my next post on how to salvage your pressed powder crumbs. I'll be posting a mini tutorial on how to remove pesky price stickers too!

Not even a major operation can slow her down.
Jeannie Gaffigan is back on the public circuit nearly five months after undergoing surgery to remove an apple-sized brain tumor. According to People, she appeared alongside husband Jim Gaffigan at the New York City premiere of "Mother!"
"This is my first night out since the surgery so I'm a little wobbly," she admitted. "But it's fun and I'm really excited to see the movie."
The comedian/actor praised his "incredible" wife in a heartfelt Instagram post shared before the pair hit the red carpet together.
Jeannie, 47, opened up about her scary diagnosis in May telling People she "was a ticking time bomb" when doctors discovered the tumor. She revealed that she was dangerously close to being "paralyzed."
Jeannie revealed that she was unaware anything was going on until she began experiencing headaches, dizziness and coughing fits. She believed the symptoms she was experiencing were just part of the normal wear and tear working moms often experience.
Her doctor told the publication "her brain stem was compressed" by the tumor.
She underwent surgery in April. The nine hour procedure left her tumor free, but she wasn't out of the woods immediately. Jim told People she experienced aspiration pneumonia before she was released from the hospital.
She was eventually released, but with a temporary tracheotomy and feeding tube.
Jim regularly shared photos on Instagram, updating fans on his wife's progress.
Some particularly sweet snapshots showed her two younger children taking care of her as she recovered in bed.

text: Cooking with Kay January 20, 2016 Sarah Thrift How exciting for me that today's post is the perfect combination of PHOTOGRAPHY and FOOD! Do y'all know Kay Campbell? Well if you don't, you should. She is the Paula Dean of Tappahannock, Virginia. Kay is the chef and owner of The Fat Finch Cafe, a quaint restaurant nestled in the heart of Tappahannock. The Fat Finch Cafe is known for their fun atmosphere, local cuisine and most of all...Kay's hearty cooking. This past Sunday she hosted her very first cooking class and I was honored to photograph it for her! Kay prepared a meal in front of seven guests, allowing them to watch her technique as she shared the message that 'good food can be easy!' The laid back atmosphere allowed the guest to ask questions with ease creating an open forum for discussion. The meal started with a Crispy Grilled Herbed Naan, followed by Spanakopita, and finished with a Seafood Chowder. Naan is a flat bread that is typically found in the cuisines of West, Central and South Asia. It is used as a starter or even to scoop other foods. It could even be used as pizza crust! We watched as Kay mixed the dough, shaped the dough into balls then kneaded them out to get their shape. She finished them off in the pan and served them with a Tzatziki sauce. Easy peezy and delicious! Next course was the Spanakopita. Spanakopita is a fancy word for a Greek spinach pie. Kay demonstrated how easy Filo dough can be to work with. She layered the pan with endless sheets of Filo dough; butter was then poured over. Oh the butter, there was lots and lots of perfect butter. She made a filling with spinach, feta cheese and onion. In the end? We received a plate of yummy buttery crispy dough filled with gooey perfection! Last but not least? Seafood Chowder. Kay demonstrated that it's not impossible to cook a good soup in an hour. I'm sorry, but good soup in an hour? I'm going to need proof! She was right; I was handed a hot bowl of perfect seafood chowder. I think the added touch of sherry just sent this soup over the top. The perfect way to end a meal on a cold winter day. Don't forget the door prizes! After the meal the winners of the door prizes were announced. One of the prizes? A handmade wooden cutting board and it was b-e-a-utiful! I was in love! The cutting board was made and donated from Pete and Kathy Goulman. (www.cabinetworks.org). Oh, and I should mention: after the meal we gave away chocolate cupcakes made by yours truly! Follow The Fat Finch Cafe on Facebook to stay tuned for dates and announcements for Kay's upcoming cooking classes. Whether you're a seasoned professional in the kitchen or a take-out guru, I promise you won't be dissapointed! It's the perfect way to spend a girls evening out, a new spin on date night, or even just to pass a cold winter day. I love me some Miss Kay and after one of these classes y'all will too!

A carpenter is suing his former employer over claims of retaliatory discharge.
Anthony Vulpitta filed a lawsuit on Oct. 16 in the Circuit Court of Cook County against his former employer Walsh Construction Co. and The Walsh Group LTD, citing unlawful retaliation for pursuing workers compensation benefits, Illinois Human Rights Act and discrimination based on perceived disability.
Vulpitta alleges the defendant fired him on July 11, 2012, after he filed valid workers compensation claims arising out of work related injuries. The plaintiff contends that he satisfactorily performed his work and the defendants continued hiring carpenters after he was terminated.
Vulpitta is seeking damages in excess of $50,000. He is being represented in the case by Chicago law firms Amatore & Associates PC and The Law Office of William M. Walsh LLC.
Circuit Court of Cook County Case No. 2013L01148.
This is a report on a civil lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County. The details in this report come from an original complaint filed by a plaintiff. Please note, a complaint represents an accusation by a private individual, not the government. It is not an indication of guilt, and it only represents one side of the story.

How Can an E-commerce Business Stick to Their Debt Repayment Plan?
As an e-commerce business owner, it is undoubtedly a difficult task to complete the debt payoff plan, as it requires a great level of commitment. You can get easily discouraged as soon as you realize that you are going to take a lot of time for clearing all the debts. It is also not an easy task to stick to the payoff plan that you might have curated. However, if you do not invest in unnecessary things for your e-commerce business or you are dedicated to the plan that you have made, you can easily clear all your debts as time passes. If you do not have a proper idea as to how you can stick to the plan that you have made, you can consider the tips that have been mentioned below.
Ensure that the plan is proper and realistic
It becomes impossible to follow a plan that is not realistic. There are times when an e-commerce business owner overestimates the total amount that he is capable of paying or underestimates the total time that he is going to take for paying the amount. The plan that you start following right at the beginning of the debt journey might not work for your entire journey. It is crucial that you try to readjust your plans on the basis of the changes that can be spotted in your financial situation. This will further ensure that you have a proper plan for clearing all your debts.
You have to consider the sales and the money that your business is getting back from the sales. On basis of that, you need to calculate the total amount, which you are capable of putting forward towards the debt. It is your duty to pay more as and when possible. You can also use calculators for estimating the total time that you are going to take for clearing the debt altogether. According to experts, 50% of both big and small e-commerce businesses fail due to insufficient capital, and that is why they take loans.
Putting down your plan on a piece of paper
It is true that as the owner of an e-commerce business, you are going to have an extremely strong memory. However, it is not really easy to keep a record of all the business debts registered in your memory. You should try to put the plan down in a piece of paper, and ensure that it is revolving around your eyes. You can use sticky notes for this and stick the total amount that is pending in the different places, on your bulletin board.
Every time you look at the board for any important work, your eyes will go on the pending amount that you have to clear. Ensure that when you are making a plan, it is not too complicated, or it can lead to trouble and confusion. Whenever you are paying a certain portion of the money, you need to mention that as well.
Keeping track of the progress
It is obvious that the balances are going to go down every time you are making a payment towards all your debts. Keep in mind that the balances on the accounts that receive a minimum payment are going to go down only by a smaller amount every month. However, the debt that is going to receive a large payment is obviously going to go down much faster. You should feel good regarding the payments that you make, despite the fact that it is minimum for a large amount.
With each passing month, these payments are going to prove that your business is committed to paying off the debt first. Once every three or four months, it is important that you compare the current balances to the starting balance in order to evaluate the amount of debt that you have cleared. It is extremely important to keep patience, even if you see that you have not reached even halfway. Clearing all the debts of your e-commerce business is not really easy and you will eventually clear it all off. It is important to celebrate the progress that your business is making towards paying off the withstanding debts.
Paying more when possible
When you see that your business is bringing in more returns in a particular month, try to target one particular debt, and clear it off completely. This does not mean that you will neglect the other debts. The trick is to pay more to clear one debt and pay a minimum for the rest of the debts. If you continue doing this whenever you are getting more returns, all the debts will be cleared in no time. This is one of the most important tips that most of the e-commerce business owners tend to follow.
Do not be derailed by the setbacks
Almost all the e-commerce businesses go through ups and downs during the course of the business. A crisis situation may arise anytime and during this time you might only spend money in order to overcome the crisis situation. There is nothing to worry during these times as you can still pay a minimum amount for clearing off the debts. As soon as the crisis period is over, you can easily start making the regular debt payments as and when possible.
You also have the freedom of adjusting your payment plan if you feel that it is necessary for staying committed to the debt goal of your e-commerce business. You can go through the debt consolidation loan honest feedback that has been left behind by the other e-commerce business owners.
Ensure that you are not creating more debt
All e-commerce businesses require investments in order to flourish. However, if you decide to take more loans from the traditional institutions for investing in your business despite the fact that you already have too much debt to clear, this is definitely a wrong decision. You should not take loans until and unless all your debts are cleared.
Paying off all your debts can be an extremely crucial task especially with all the other things that you have to keep on your mind when you are handling your e-commerce business. However, with a proper dedication and discipline, you will be able to clear all of it within no time and start investing in your business once again.

Five truck manufacturers illegally fixed the prices of vehicles, among other things, over a period of 14 years. The financial loss incurred by forwarders and other transportation companies is enormous.
GRP Rainer Lawyers and Tax Advisors in Cologne, Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and London conclude: The five major truck manufacturers (Daimler, MAN, Iveco, DAF and Volvo/Renault) operated a cartel over 14 years and fixed, among other things, the sales prices for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, i.e. trucks between 6 and 16 tons and heavier. They have since been convicted by the European Commission and sentenced to pay a fine totalling around 2.9 billion euros.
While this is a record fine, the damage caused by the cartel members is likely to be much higher than that. Estimates in the range of 100 billion euros do not appear to be excessive. Affected forwarders and transportation companies which purchased or leased trucks from these manufacturers between 1997 and 2011 are now able to assert claims for damages. The investigations carried out by the European Commission established that there was a cartel. Nonetheless, the aggrieved parties that purchased or leased trucks need to take action themselves. They will not automatically receive compensation. For the purposes of enforcing their claims, they can turn to lawyers who are versed in the field of antitrust law.
The focus here is the extent of the loss resulting from the illegal price fixing. One cannot give a general answer to this, which is why an expert assessment must be furnished. This presumably will not be necessary for every individual truck. To ensure that the costs for the expert assessment stay within reasonable limits, it is particularly a good idea for smaller forwarders and transportation companies to band together.
Another relevant issue with respect to the claims concerns the statute of limitations. A general ceiling for limitation periods of ten years has been in place since 2002. However, the statute of limitations was suspended due to the Commission's investigation, with the result that it remains possible to assert damages claims even in relation to trucks which were acquired at the end of the 90s. That being said, the first claims could become time-barred in January of 2017. It is thus especially important to act quickly in these cases.

to the Apollo Hospitals of India. The service vision framework are according to an exhibit from "Lessons in the Service Sector" by James L. Hes kett, Harvard Business Review, March/April 1987, p. 120. 1. Target Market segments Population Statistics : Population above 920 mill. people with wide variety of economic levels, social statuses, and cultures. Lowest per capita GNP $255, pop ulation growth 2% p.a. Growth real GNP 4.5%. Middle class 270 mill. Wealthy 30 m illion people. Target Market Segment : Upper middle class, the wealthy, and company employees with health insurance (108 million in 1994 ). Half of the middle class able to p ay for private health care. Current Market Status : Most hospitals are state run at very low cost, low tech , and low quality. Private medical facilities are available - highly specialized , charging market rate (not latest technology but provides privacy and intimacy) . Treatment of a complex ailment in a private institution is more time consuming and expensive. Economic liberalization : domestic and multinational companies - more competiti on Demography : urban, high income as dictated by upper middle class and elite cla ss, neighboring countries. Psychography : Targeting people who can afford comprehensive high quality servi ce; who are ready to pay more money for the comfort and treatment by more repute d doctors. Market Growth (income + segments growth) : Sizable market of 30 million (wealt hy ) and 135 million upper middle class person. Proposed Plan : Comprehensive hospital emphasizing on tertiary care -- advance therapy and surgery, complicated medical problems. Primary care is stressed main ly through preventive measures. High quality medical care through the latest med ical technology and the best qualified staff. 2. Service Concept The aim is to provide outstanding value to patient through superior medical resu lts, quick treatment, and a low total cost of care relative to competitors. This can be achieved through the Five stars management philosophy : medical personne l, medical technology, employees, value and hospitality. Customers' perception : high quality, comprehensive service at 10-15% below than the top hospitals in Bombay and Delhi in a shorter time period (on average 7 da ys versus industry's average of 9-12 days). Superior medical treatment: success rate at par with highest international stan dard, competitive total cost of care. 3. Operating Strategy Hospital operates under the Five Stars philosophy. 1. Medical personnel : Highly skilled and experienced doctors mostly returning f rom western countries (well known both academically and clinically). Well traine d and motivated junior doctors, technicians, nurses, and other supporting staff. 2. Medical technology: Latest available technology, constant and quick update, h igh utilization and availability. Large capital investment emphasis in this area . 3. Employees: Constant interaction between all levels. The environment promotes a sense of family/community. Upper management recognizes attendance, punctuality , achievements in sport, and honesty through awards. A 10-20% higher wage for th e employees than local, private hospitals. Flexible atmosphere, free medical car e, and other economic benefits (loan, wedding gift, subsidize meals) attract com
petent employees. 4. Hospitality : Customer oriented/centered service, 30 hrs/year training, well established guidelines (Induction manual). 5. Value : Care/contact after even being released from the hospital. Guest relat ions department improves quality of service and maintains relationship with pati ents. Emphasis on continuous improvements (CHANGE), avoiding a stagnation. Operation: Symbiotic relationship between doctors and the hospital: Doctors pay only rents for the room, but set their own rate (within set boundaries from hosp ital management.) and keep all of the fees received. The hospital earns revenues from running the supporting facilities (room, board, x-rays etc.) Additional services to doctors: excellent and most recent library system (on-lin e system), hospital supported technical conferences in and out house, weekly res earch colloquiums, newsletter (Apollo Heartbeat), arrange visits/training sessio n of recognized doctors from abroad. Continuous improvements effort at all levels Employee training and compensations and other benefits Finance : Initially from own money and stocks, Expansion and operation from reve nue generated from existing facilities, licensing, and insurance package. Marketing: major efforts focused on women in individual consumer market (Well Wo men Clubs), outreach programs for schools, low price preventive check-up package s for families. Different categories of rooms to accommodate different economic level of patient s. There is a long term trusting relationship with patients. Referring doctors : There is a strong effort to keep referring doctors aware of the hospital's advances. Advertisements of the hospital's capabilities and facil ities exists. Organizing medical conferences and publications like Apollo Heartb eat (distributed free of cost to referrals) keep referring doctors attached to t he hospital. And allowing referrals to maintain close contact with own patients in the hospitals promotes the notion that Apollo does not attempt to compete wit h them. Contracts with 150 companies for providing preventive care and advanced treatmen t (Master Health Check). Organization Structure of Apollo Hospitals : Apollo Madras, Hyderabad Training wing/division (Apollo Institute of Hospital management) IHC (Indian Hospitals Corporations) consulting services Within each hospital : consulting doctors (independent) administrative and supporting staffs, different departments (Guest relationship) commensurate with normal hospital practices. Human Resources: good compensation, good training. Control: CHANGE committees, guest relation department, employee empowerment. Measurement: Patients' health most important yardstick for success. 4. Service Delivery System The people from all levels due to their high skills, training and motivation con tribute towards the hospital's vision of providing high quality service and care at competitive price. Most updated technology and equipment with standardize procedures for operations high quality contribute to high quality service. Differentiation based on multidimensional strategy which are high quality, relia ble and quick treatment at competitive price. Barrier to entry to the industry is high, mainly because of high capital investm ent, brand name, well established marketing, referral network, presence in almos t all aspects of business within the health care industry, and contracts with hi ghly recognized doctors. Expansion vehicle promises most effectively to enhance Apollo Hospitals' profits while expanding recognition of the Apollo name. Some the expansion efforts: Building more hospitals and control over entire operation
Limited growth, high capital intensive, no risk sharing by others, no advantage of experience of local channels. Consulting service: Indian Hospital Corporation (IHC) which share experience in hospital management, license Apollo trade name to doctors and entrepreneurs and quicker expansion. Health maintenance organization (Insurance and medicare HMO) which promote high quality health care through a large network of doctors and hospitals.

Surface ozone concentration from an TEI instrument at Arrival HeightsEntry ID: K085_2002_2012_NZ_1
Abstract: A TEI instrument was installed at Arrival Heights to monitor boundary layer concentration of surface ozone levels with an ultraviolet absorption measurement. Ambient air is pumped through a cell and the intensity of ultraviolet light shining through this cell from a mercury lamp is measured. Periodically the airflow is diverted to a chemical filter that removes ozone from the air and the lamp's intensity measured as a control to ensure data consistency. The instrument has its own data logging system that records ozone concentrations.
Weekly and monthly calibration checks ensure data consistency. Data are processed directly by instrument and recorded as ozone concentrations.

Five days in and I have sweated so much I could bottle it and sell it to drought stricken farmers. Our first five days have mainly been getting our bearings right, catching up with old friends, and trying to find an apartment to live in. Our current luxurious digs have afforded us views like this every day which helps make the search for an apartment that little bit easier.
