Marketing hype claims that cloud computing can help any enterprise meet most IT service needs at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and higher return on investment (ROI). However, the promise of the cloud requiring minimal capital investment and the subjectivity of some cloud benefits have created some confusion among IT professionals trying to determine the benefits of adopting cloud services. Calculating ROI for cloud services requires some up-front work to understand business requirements, organizational maturity, control considerations and regulatory requirements and to quantify benefits and costs associated with the cloud model that the enterprise has selected. Strategic benefits could be more subjective and may require additional analysis to measure their financial impact over the investment. To determine whether the cloud is a viable option, it is necessary to separate the hype from reality. Calculating ROI does not need to be complex because it is only an estimate to support investment decisions; however, it must be accurate and based on realistic expectations.

New mission for the nose: Sniff out multiplying microbes
Thomas Finger, PhD, of the University of Colorado's Rocky Mountain Taste and Smell Center, and colleagues had discovered in earlier mouse studies the presence of individual cells scattered in a part of the mouse's nasal cavity normally reserved for respiratory, versus smell-related, activities. Each cell expresses bitter taste receptors and each is in direct contact with the trigeminal nerve—a nerve in the head that senses touch, temperature, and pain. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for your eyes watering when you cut into an onion or for the reflexive sneeze or gasp you might have when you open up a fizzy can of soda. Finger and colleagues wanted to uncover why cells in the nose would need to detect something that tastes bitter.
In new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers turned their attention to key chemical signals that bacteria use to communicate with one another. Like a secret whistle in the dark of night, disease-causing bacteria produce special molecules—called quorum sensing molecules—to let each other know when their numbers are high enough to wage a more formidable invasion. In the case of some bacteria, that involves joining forces to form a biofilm, a sturdy bacterial structure that attacks respiratory tissue and is resistant to immune defenses. The researchers wondered if one type of molecule—called acyl-homserine lactones (AHLs)—given off by a large group of bacteria might be detectable by bitter taste receptors on the solitary chemosensory cells in the nasal cavity and if so, what effect this might have on the trigeminal nerve.
In this latest study, Finger and his team first tested whether solitary chemosensory cells in mice respond to AHLs, both bacterially-produced and synthetic. Using calcium as a measure of cellular responsiveness—an increase in calcium inside the cell is one of the signs that a substance is interacting with its receptor—they found that solitary chemosensory cells do respond to AHLs in concentrations typically found when bacterial populations begin to form biofilms. Next, the researchers tested whether AHLs are able to evoke a response from the trigeminal nerve in mice. Normally, when the trigeminal nerve is activated, respiration decreases. Indeed, they found that when AHLs were flowed through the mouse's nasal cavity, the breathing rate slowed. Finally, the researchers wanted to make sure that the decrease in respiration was from the solitary chemosensory cells versus other chemically sensitive sites on the trigeminal nerve. Using knock-out mice whose T2R bitter receptors don't function, they found that the knock-out mice did not experience a slowed breathing rate, indicating that the solitary chemosensory cells—and the bitter taste receptors that they express— are responsible for the reaction.
Finger suggests that when a small branch of a trigeminal nerve fiber in the nose is activated, it kicks off a domino effect in which substances are released and an inflammatory response is put into high gear. He says that solitary chemosensory cells in the nasal cavity will tolerate low populations of certain disease-causing bacteria, but when they sense that the bacteria are producing more quorum sensing molecules, the cells trigger an immune response before the bacteria are able to form a biofilm.
Because bacteria that live in a mouse's nose aren't the same as those that live in a human's nose, the researchers are now trying to figure out if there are other quorum sensing molecules that are more likely to occur in humans. They also plan to investigate whether the knock-out mice whose T2R receptors don't function are more susceptible to bacterial infection.

DOVER — Ann Isacoff will turn 97 in June. But before her big day, she'll be treated to something she's always wanted to do: attend a Broadway show.
Theater has been a passion of Isacoff's for as long as she can remember.
"I always wanted to be involved in theater," she said from her Langdon Place apartment Tuesday morning.
"As time went on, it just wasn't meant to be," she laughed.
Isacoff loves music and musicals and when she made her wish to see a Broadway show she was delighted to learn the Twilight Wish Foundation, a national nonprofit charitable organization whose mission is to honor and enrich the lives of deserving elders through wish granting celebrations connecting generations, had made it possible for her to see "Jersey Boys."
Tickets were donated by Parentgiving.com.
She'll depart with her daughter, Marilyn Weinberg, on March 3 and travel to the Colonial Theater in Boston via limousine.
"It happened to be something I'm sure I'll enjoy," she said.
Isacoff threw her wish into a wishing well, Activities Director, Linda Jarvis, said. Resident's wishes ranged from a seafood dinner to a special flight.
Last year, Isacoff started a new tradition at Langdon Place. She began putting together a show with many of the residents performing and just as many, if not more, enjoying the show.
This year's production will include routines from "old-time" comedians like George Burns, Jack Benny, Abbott and Costello and others.
"It's all about memories," she said.
She's written four books about her memories and background, and a poem that's earned recognition from Historic New England.
Her stories, she said, are mostly so her grandchildren can know about what life was like during a time they weren't around.
"I remember before electricity," she said. "And I want them to be aware of it."
For the Historic New England program, residents were asked to bring in old items to "jog" memories.
Described by Activities Director, Linda Jarvis, as a "prolific writer," Isacoff said she wants to include as many memories as possible in her writings and productions.
She organizes rehearsal times for the spoken-word parts of her show with participating residents.
She said she loves that everyone gets involved.
"It's amazing how wonderful they react to the shows," she said. "We have some wonderful talent."
While it sometimes poses a challenge for some to remember lines and lyrics, Isacoff, who takes part in "Senior Moments" theater troupe, is proud of her peers.
"I think Langdon Place should be proud to have all these people here," she said.
And of her trip this weekend, one she's researched since being unfamiliar with the musical, Isacoff is certain she will not be disappointed.
"I know I'm going to love it," she said.

Croatia survive England onslaught, thrive in extra time to reach World Cup final
MOSCOW -- Here are three quick thoughts from Croatia's 2-1 extra-time win over England in the World Cup semifinals on Wednesday at Luzhniki Stadium.
1. Tireless Croatia thrive in extra time
Croatia will face France in their first World Cup final on Sunday after overturning a 1-0 deficit to beat England 2-1 after extra time in the semifinal in Moscow. Goals by Ivan Perisic and Mario Mandzukic, following Kieran Trippier's fifth-minute opener, booked Croatia's place in the final for a repeat of the 1998 semifinal against the French.
But while Croatia's superior quality and command of the ball told in the Luzhniki Stadium, their remarkable level of energy was also key, with this game the third time they have been forced to negotiate extra time in Russia.
Against Denmark and Russia in the earlier rounds, Croatia were forced to go through the ordeal of penalties before advancing, but the fact remains that they will face France having played 90 minutes more than Didier Deschamps' team due to their accumulated extra-time workload.
This is a tough team to beat, however, and France will have to overcome Croatia's technical ability as well as their remarkable resolve.
At times in the first half, they were struggling for air against England, but Croatia held on and fought back to win. Luka Modric, who looked exhausted for much of the game, still ended up as the conductor for Croatia.
France will be favourites on Sunday, but don't write Croatia off.
2. England waste a golden opportunity
England were 22 minutes from the World Cup final until their faltering game plan was finally punished by Perisic and Croatia, but they have only themselves to blame for being in position to lose this game.
Gareth Southgate's team dominated the first half, and they had Croatia on the ropes for lengthy periods after Trippier's fifth-minute free kick gave England the lead.
They then kept Croatia pressed back, stretched the game and made Zlatko Dalic's team look heavy-legged after two penalty shootout sagas to get to this stage. Harry Kane struck the post, Raheem Sterling and Jesse Lingard spurned good chances, and Croatia somehow held on to go in just one behind at the interval.
The break refreshed the Croatians, and they started the second half with greater energy and purpose. At that stage, Southgate missed the chance to make the change that would enable England to regain control of midfield.
Jordan Henderson was being asked to do the job of two men, and it was punishing work, with Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic dictating play. When Southgate finally made the change late in the second half, it was to replace Henderson with Eric Dier rather than support him.
England have had a World Cup beyond their expectations, but they really could and should have gone even further. They should have won this game.
3. Perisic teaches Alli a lesson
Dele Alli made a decisive contribution in this game, but after being fouled in the second minute for Trippier's free-kick opener for England, the Tottenham midfielder struggled to make any further impact.
If Alli's performance in Moscow is placed alongside that of Perisic, it is clear to see the difference between a player searching for form at this World Cup and one on top of his game.
Perisic, who switched between left and right flanks on several occasions during the game, was a constant threat with his pace, direct running and finishing. The Inter Milan man, who was a leading target for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United 12 months ago, netted the equaliser for Croatia midway through the second half after beating Kyle Walker to a Sime Vrsaljko cross.
He almost gave his country the lead four minutes later, when he sent a left-foot strike against the far post after finding space once again. His extra-time cross for Mandzukic also created havoc for England, with the delivery almost creating a goal.
There is a seven-year difference between Alli and Perisic, who is the older player at 29, and the experience gap showed in this semifinal. Alli went further into his shell as the game progressed, but Perisic became a greater danger as the game wore on, and tired legs became an issue.
The thigh injury sustained by Alli against Tunisia in England's opening game has lingered and affected his fitness, but even before this tournament, he had flattered to deceive on the international stage. Perisic, in contrast, has shown that he belongs on it.

David Lee working his way out of fall slump
David Lee is playing like a man scorned.
He had one sequence Tuesday that consisted of mauling an opponent to grab an offensive rebound and then, in an instant, turning into a ballet dancer for a swift spin move and layup.
After that, he sprinted and beat everyone to the opposite rim, grabbed a defensive rebound, dribbled it in transition through a scrambling opponent and dished to Harrison Barnes for a three-pointer.
"David looked the best he's looked all year: active, aggressive, running the floor, defending, rebounding," head coach Mark Jackson said after Tuesday's game. "When he plays that way, we're a totally different basketball team."
With a night to think on it, Jackson on Wednesday offered: "I thought David looked like David for the first time in a long time."
Lee might not be playing like Lee for the reasons you think.
Sure, within a two-week span, Lee went from being trade bait on Internet fan forums to holding the Warriors back on a major media blog to considering both subjects in a mainstream newspaper. On Tuesday, it went a step further when former head coach Don Nelson was quoted in a Sports Illustrated story saying, "He can't guard anybody."
"Oh yeah, I was out for blood," Lee said sarcastically. "No, I'm honest when I say that I don't read any of the positive or the negative stuff. I just know from my own point of view that I want to be playing better than I'm playing."
Lee doesn't need anyone to tell him that he wasn't playing up to his 2012-13 All-Star standard or the level that earned the monster deal the Warriors will be paying him through 2016.
He led the league with 56 double-doubles last season and was the only player in the NBA to average at least 18 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. This season, Lee is shooting a career-worst 49 percent from the field and averaging 17.2 points (worst since 2010-11) and 2.1 assists (worst since 2008-09).
He'll make approximately $13.9 million this season - about $100,000 less than Andrew Bogut. In each of the next two seasons, Lee will make more than $15 million - more than $2 million higher than his next-closest teammate.
So when his numbers dipped to 12.5 points on 40 percent shooting and 6.8 rebounds in the four games from Nov. 29 through Dec. 6, Lee went looking for answers. He studied video from last season and thought that his pace, quickness and explosiveness had dipped.
"I've been making a little pace change," he said. "I'm just trying to be aggressive more than anything else."
There's nothing little about it.
Lee has averaged 19 points on 48.5 percent shooting and 13 rebounds in games since his video study. The guy who will always be viewed as a defensive liability has increased his steal average from 0.0 to 1.2 and his blocked-shot average from 0.3 to 0.7 during the same span.
The "good" six-game stretch from Lee even includes a 7-for-18 night in Phoenix, where the Warriors lost and their energy, effort and passion were questioned by the head coach.
Those are things that don't sit comfortably with Lee. He is, in many ways, the Warriors' representative.
His pregame routine is earlier than any other experienced player, so he often does the pregame community-service duties. He represents the team at the pregame captain's huddle with officials - even though Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut are also captains.
This, however, is not a time for talking - he says.
"It's not about saying anything in the locker room or saying anything back to coach," Lee said. "It's about being better than I was in the last games, with showing energy and playing as hard as I can. Everything else will take care of itself."
Thursday's game
Who: Spurs (20-5) at Warriors (14-12)
Where: Oracle Arena
When: 7:30 p.m.
TV/Radio: CSNBA, TNT/680
Of note: Through Tuesday, the Spurs were the only team in the league that ranked among the top five in offensive efficiency (fourth, 106.2) and defensive efficiency (second, 95.9). ... San Antonio is 50-9 against the Warriors since Tim Duncan's rookie season in 1997-98. Duncan averaged 17 points on 53.4 percent shooting and 12.4 rebounds in the first seven December games after posting 12.4 points on 42.5 percent shooting and 7.2 rebounds in October and November. ... Point guard Tony Parker missed Wednesday's game in Phoenix and is expected to be absent for Thursday's game in Oakland because of a bruised shin. ... With Manu Ginobili and former Warriors guard Marco Belinelli, who leads the NBA in three-point percentage, the Spurs' bench is first in the league in assists and second in points.

Plenty of Fish in the Sea?The lab activity described here was created by Erin Bardar of TERC for the EarthLabs project.
Summary and Learning Objectives
Students begin this investigation by watching a National Geographic slideshow presentation about some of the impacts that declining fish populations are having on humans around the world. In Part B, students use ImageJ image processing software (if available) to create an animation of global marine biodiversity maps spanning four decades, and look for hotspots and overall changes in species diversity over time. The investigation concludes with students interpreting graphs of tuna and billfish species density by ocean, and applying what they have learned to understanding why species diversity is important for maintaining the overall balance of marine ecosystems.
After completing this investigation, students will be able to:
- explain some of the ways humans are affected by the declining health and productivity of fisheries;
- use ImageJ (if available) to animate a series of time-sequenced images;
- evaluate changes in global marine biodiversity over time by visual inspection of an animated sequence of images;
- interpret trends in graphical data; and
- explain why species diversity is important to the health of marine ecosystems and the sustainability of fishing.
Context for use
This is the first lab in the EarthLabs Fisheries unit. Students are introduced to the importance of marine biodiversity and sustainable fishing practices for maintaining the overall health of our planet. This investigation also provides students with experience in manipulating and interpreting scientific data and graphs.
The entire lab should take one 50-60 minute class period. The slideshow presentation in Part A is approximately 7 or 8 minutes long. If using ImageJ, Part B will require approximately 20 to 30 minutes for students to download the maps, create an image stack, and produce their animation. If not using ImageJ, Part A will only take about 10 minutes for students to study and analyze the embedded animated .gif image of the marine biodiversity maps. Part B can be assigned as homework, or can be completed in the remaining class time. Students should need only 5-10 minutes to interpret the species density graphs and answer the analysis questions. If possible, reserve 5-10 minutes at the end of class to discuss students' ideas about the implications of the worldwide decline in marine biodiversity over the last several decades.
Activity Overview and Teaching Materials
In order to view the National Geographic slideshow presentation in Part A, student computers must be equipped with the Adobe Flash Player.
For Part B, it is recommended that student computers be equipped with ImageJ, a freely downloadable image processing tool capable of displaying, editing, analyzing, saving, and printing digital image files. ImageJ also supports stacks of ordered images and animation. Help for this tool is available at: ImageJ Documentation. If ImageJ is not available, students can complete the activity by studying the animated .gif image provided on the student page. No additional tools or materials are required if using this method.
In Part C, students can view and interpret the species density graphs directly on the student activity page.
Printable Materials
- Activity Sheet (PDF (Acrobat (PDF) 34kB Jan28 08) and Word (Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx) 20kB Aug7 18))
- So Long Seafood? (Acrobat (PDF) 112kB Jan15 08)
Teaching Notes and Tips
For Part A, you may wish to project the slideshow presentation and have the entire class watch it together.
As students interpret the species density graphs in Part C, be sure they are carefully examining the scale of each graph, as they are not the same for each ocean.
You can assess student understanding of topics addressed in this Investigation by grading their responses to the Stop and Think questions.
State and National Science Teaching Standards
Additional Resources
Background Information

Remember when I said that I was going to upload a tutorial based on something from Russia? Well, here is that tut. Today I will be showing you "how to draw the Kremlin", step by step. I know the lesson says Kremlin, but the building you see before you is actually called Saint Basil's Cathedral which can be seen from the actual Kremlin. This historic complex is actually located in the very heart of Moscow. It not only overlooks Saint Basil Cathedral, other places like Moskva River, the Alexander Garden, and Red Square. Red Square is the city in Russia that separates the Kremlin from the citadel. Also, the Kremlin is actually where the President of Russia lives. The beautiful design of Saint Basil's Cathedral is absolutely remarkable. It was built in 1555, and took six years to complete. The person that gave the orders to build one of a kind Cathedral was Ivan the Terrible. I had a lot of fun drawing Saint Basil's Cathedral or the Kremlin and I made sure to try and break down the tutorial in an easy fashion so that others can get in on the fun. Well, I have to pounce out of here, (yes I said "Ponce"), but I will be back with more great fun for you all to explore and enjoy. Peace out people!

Today, chronic health conditions have become so common that most people don't remember what it's like to be in excellent health. And if they're not feeling their best, they can't be their best.
In truth, many chronic health conditions are preventable. They're the result of years of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and prolonged exposure to stress. And leading health organizations now tell us that by returning to a healthier lifestyle—by getting the right nutrients, becoming active, and learning to manage the stressors in life—many of these conditions can be prevented, managed, or even reversed.
The solution seems so simple, and yet, the incidence of chronic illness is continuing to rise at an alarming rate.
Most illnesses, chronic or not, are associated with nutritional imbalances. This imbalance may be the cause or result of the illness. Often, they maintain each other through a vicious circle.
A professional approach is needed here. Metagenics offers science-based concepts and products that repair the nutritional balance and this way help healthcare providers to achieve an effective and safe treatment.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Lots to love: Versatile downtown property offers options
Address: 512 North First Street #2
Neighborhood: North Downtown
Asking: $900,000 for house and lot or $1,350,000 for entire property
Assessment: $795,900 for house and lot or $947,100 for entire property
Year Built: 1920
Size: 3,000 fin. sq. ft. / 285 unfin.
Land: 0.38 acres (acreage includes both lots): 10,840ft2 + 7,528ft2
Agent: Tim Michel, McLean Faulconer Inc. 434-295-1131
Curb Appeal: 10 out of 10
While the Arts and Crafts movement is experiencing a resurgence, this place is no reinterpretation; it's the real deal.
Spanning two lots on a dead-end street within walking distance of the Downtown Mall, this charming stone house is situated on a steeply sloping property that has been terraced into four different levels. Landscaped with such amenities as a fishpond, artificial stream, fruit trees, and a rose arbor, the property has a staircase running through the middle that leads down to Second Street and a legal parking lot with five spots (allegedly bringing in $1,000 per month).
The terraced landscape provides a beautiful, unobstructed view of downtown, which can be seen not just the upstairs guest bedroom but also from the downstairs study.
The house lot ends after the rose arbor on the second terrace, and while the owners will consider selling the two lots separately, they would prefer a single sale.
Not to be upstaged by the property, the house itself is that rare thing, a livable showstopper. Reportedly built in 1920 and thoroughly renovated in 2006 with a new roof, furnace, and wiring, it's filled with old-fashioned charm and modern conveniences.
True to the Arts and Crafts spirit, the house (which was also reviewed in 2006) has tons of built-in features, from the coat closet and letter chute in the entranceway to the tables and benches in the breakfast nook that fold up into the wall after the cereal's finished.
Warm both literally and figuratively, the house boasts two fireplaces: a gas-fired red-brick in the master bedroom and one in the large living room, where it's flanked by built-in desks. Painted in earth tones, it has lots of wood accents from the thin oak flooring to the built-in shelving.
The homey living room gives way to a formal dining area with a china cabinet in one wall and a pass-through to the kitchen dominated by a shining, five-burner stainless steel stove backed by a wall of white tile with grey grout. The kitchen floor is slate, the counters are soapstone, backed by an original white marble backsplash, and with a second pass-through to the breakfast nook.
There are so many thoughtful details that one wonders why no one thought about bathrooms. A half bath adjoins the downstairs study, but the three bedrooms upstairs all share one small bath. A dearth of bathrooms isn't uncommon in an older house, but their shortage is hardly conducive to family harmony. What parent wants to fight with the kids over a shower?
The larger of the two smaller bedrooms overlooks the backyard and has a little extra storage space the agent claims could be turned into a bathroom, but we're not holding our breath.
What these rooms do have is storage space: plenty of closets and built-in shelving (one room has a 15-foot-long drawer). They're also larger than many bedrooms in older houses, especially the master.
Any space concerns might be addressed by reclaiming the two-bedroom, one-bathroom rental unit in the basement by unblocking a set of stairs.
With small windows and whitewashed walls, the basement is not as warm and welcoming as the rest of the house, but it does have a few cool features: a booze closet (left over from Prohibition), and a large living room with an ample fireplace and a cue closet for pool fiends. A new owner could charge $750-$1,000 for the apartment as it is now, which would go a long way to helping with property tax.
So here are multiple options: buy the full property or just the lot with the house. Keep the rental unit or incorporate it into the house. Use the garage for a car or as a studio (its current incarnation). It's a great place any way you shake it, and will be for generations to come.

Well, we're almost there!
In just a couple of hours it will be Christmas Eve, at least here in Southern California, where as you can see it's been
(on my gift wrapping at least)
I felt in need of a change this season so I veered away from my usual 'au natural' wrapping theme and decided to go for a White Christmas instead. Bushels of white cotton batten, fake snow, glitter, glue and some very sticky fingers later…
Believe it or not, the snow stays on these presents even if you turn them upside down thanks to the Scotch Super 77 multi-purpose adhesive.
First I lightly sprayed a corner of the gifts (wrapped in plain white kraft paper) with the glue, allowed it a minute or two to become tacky, then built up a 'snow drift' with the cotton batting. Then, a second light spray and the addition of the two different types of fake snowflakes I found at Michael's and Target, mixed with white packing 'peanuts' that we chopped up in the food blender (am I kind of crazy? don't answer that) . A final light spray of glue, again just on the corner, to secure a gentle sprinkling of sparkly, glitter flakes and the presents are complete. FYI, I did do this outside on a drop cloth because of the mess and fumes from the aerosol adhesive.
The silver balls work by battery, so they're great to run down the centre of your table mixed in with fresh greenery or to hang on the front door in a wreath or garland. (also from Target)
It 'snowed' in our barn this year too! 🙂
I leaned my antique water wheel from Sri Lanka up against the wall and wrapped it in fairy lights. So cozy.
So, that's it for me. The wrapping is finished, the tree adorned and the dining room table is set. Both my boys are home for the holidays-YAY! (though one is sick-we're actually hoping it's food related and not the flu :()
Tomorrow, all going well and to plan, I'll be back with pics of our tree and the table.
Safe Travels & Sweet Dreams my friends!

Chardonnay gave a new interview to VH1 and she covered a lot of things. She talks about her "homie" connection with Ray J, her answers on the lie detector test, plus shockingly denies being a stripper or ever being one which is actually a lie because we have it on good authority that she was once a stripper in Atlanta.
As if her splits and pole climbing on the show were not enough proof, she also admitted to Danger in of the bonus clips on VH1's website that she is a "dancer."
Below are some excerpts from her interview –
How was your time on the show?
It was good. It was a learning experience. I didn't expect it to be exactly like it was with the cameras in your face every second. It was crazy, but it was fun.
What did you think about his assessment that you guys only had a "homey" connection?
He was entitled to his opinion. I respect that, and I respect his decision. We were friends, we are friends and we will forever be friends, basically. I just feel like the situation was misunderstood. I was trying to prove to him that you can have a girl that's the best of both worlds. They can be your friend, you can go to parties and play basketball together, but you can still have a relationship. I wanted to show him those sides, and I think he might have misunderstood that. But hey, what can I do?
Do you feel like Danger took up his time?
I do, but at the end of the day, it's a competition. You won't get your time unless you win dates, and if you don't win dates, you have to make time in the house. Some girls were more forward than others, but I'm not gonna cling to you and smother you. That's not me.
What do you think about alcohol defining your character? Was that a fair representation?
I'm not that big of a drinker. If alcohol is there, I'm gonna drink it. What girl would turn down a drink? It's fun. I'm not an alcoholic, though, and I don't want to be seen as the alcoholic. Yes, my name is Chardonnay, because that's my favorite beverage. I don't drink hard liquor. I like wine. I feel like it's a classy drink. Throughout the show, yes, I was drinking Chardonnay, but you never saw me drunk. You never saw my head in the toilet and I didn't get eliminated for being a party girl. So I don't feel so bad.
You weren't drunk on the first episode?
I was tipsy! A lady never gets drunk, she gets tipsy.
You were accused of being a stripper. Are you?
No, I am not. That came up on the first episode, and I was like, OK. I didn't need to explain myself to them. I was not about to prove to them that I'm this or not that. That was none of their business. People can say what they want, but anybody can do a split. A regular person can do a split. If you stretch long enough, you can do a split. Cheerleaders can do a split. It's not like I'm doing a double cartwheel round-off back handspring, you know?

Exercise Saxon Warrior
Posted on 19 May, 2011
…. The Exercise has been planned by RAF and Naval personnel from the Joint Tactical Exercise planning Staff (JTEPS) based at Northwood HQ, London. They are augmented by additional service personnel to provide an appropriate level of specialist support and to assist with exercise safety. The JTEPS aim is to provide coordinated training for the USS George H W Bush Carrier Group, all 3 UK Armed Services and the participating forces from allied nations. The USS George H W Bush is the tenth and final Nimitz Class supercarrier of the United States Navy. Displacing in excess of 100,00 tons and with a top speed of over 30 knots, the USS George Bush carries an Air Wing comprising some 44 FA-18 Strike Fighters (C/E/F Supers), 5 FA-18G Electronic Warfare Fighters, 4-5 E-2 Hawkeyes, and 7 MH-60 helicopters.
The Carrier Group is conducting operational work up training while en route to support operations in Afghanistan. The fast jets (FJ) embarked in the USS George H W Bush Carrier Air Wing together with aircraft from the UK and other NATO Air Forces will be training together across the UK daily. Due to Op ELLAMY commitments UK participation is reduced and includes VC10 AAR and E3D. Allied and visiting air participants include NATO E3A, and Super Etendard FJ and Atlantique II Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) from France. It is planned to fly approximately 60-90 combat and support missions per day on day and night sorties throughout the period. Limited night / weekend flying will be undertaken 21-22 May by the USS George H W Bush Carrier Air Wing, which will operate throughout the period in the South Western Approaches and Western English Channel. SW11 will see participation from 26 separate naval units from UK, US, Spain, Germany and Sweden. The USS George H W Bush Carrier Strike Group comprises the carrier itself and its escorts, including the cruiser USS Gettysburg, and the destroyers USS Truxton and USS Mitscher. The aim for these units is to build upon basic maritime skills and learn to operate in an allied and multinational context.
A variety of UK and Allied Land forces including SF, 1 Division and 3(UK) Division (supported by maritime and air participants) will conduct Core Military Training and Mission Specific Training (MST) for OP HERRICK deployment at both Castlemartin and Pembrey Air Weapons Ranges, Salisbury Plain Training Area and at sites across Wales, capitalising on the training opportunities afforded by this joint activity. This training will fully utilise Defence Training Estate range areas, commercial ranges and private land areas.

Jason Bay Answers Mets 9-1-WON!
6 comments:
Joe, you really are a talented artist and know how to capture the emotion attending the action. Great depiction of Bay, intense and ready to go, but straining to control and stay inside himself.ReplyDelete
Thanks David! Hope new get a few of these games back to back.ReplyDelete
Joe - I know it must be more fun for you when the team wins and you can break out the colors. Even when the team stinks on a nightly basis, we all love coming to the site and seeing your work. It's always very clever and well-done. Let's hope the Mets can string together some wins in the J-Bay 2011 era and get back to .500! Coming together and getting some confidence before facing Philly in a week or so would be great! I'm trying to stay optimistic!ReplyDelete
You should sell prints of the games. I'd love to get my hands on a few.ReplyDelete

Such a great painting, hopefully there will be more like this in the future. Starting tonight against the Diamondbacks!ReplyDelete

Maybe your favourite song of 2012 was âGlad You Came,â or âI Found Youâ or âChasing the Sun.â But The Wantedâs Tom Parker has been obsessed with a different Top 40 smash: Scream by Usher. Parker shared his pick for the best song of the year while talking with Canada.com.
Listen to his jam below, but first, here are 5 fast facts about the tune.
1. Scream is the eighteenth top 10 single of Usher's career, and it reached the No. 10 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 the week of June 30, 2012.
2. For the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, May 20 in Las Vegas, Usher performed Scream on the show. The Wanted were there that night, too, and did a rendition of Chasing the Sun. It's unclear whether Parker was "screaming" like a "Wanted Fanmily" member during Ursh's set.
3. From the club to off-Broadway. Usher recruited the dancers of off-Broadway show Fuerza Bruta for his Scream music video, and even debuted current album Looking for Myself -- Scream included -- during two April 2012 performances of the stage extravaganza.
4. Usher sings the phrase "Ooh, baby, baby" 36 times during the course of Scream.
5. One of Scream's co-writers, Savan Kotecha, has famously created hits for dozens of Top 40 superstars -- including several acts with ties to The Wanted. He contributed to tracks by Wanted tour mates Britney Spears ("I Wanna Go," "If U Seek Amy") and Justin Bieber ("Beauty and a Beat") -- as well as their No. 1 rival in the boy band war, One Direction. (He's responsible for 1D mega hits "Live While We're Young," "What Makes You Beautiful," "One Thing" and nearly everything 1D's ever recorded.) He even wrote a Lindsay Lohan tune, "Disconnected" -- a little detail The Wanted could always chat about next time they stash her on their tour bus.
Bonus: If you mash Scream together with The Wanted's Chasing the Sun, you get this.
Watch Scream by Usher:

Jeffrey M. Thomas
Canadian/Iroquois (born in U.S.A.), b. 1956
Folded Arms at Winnipeg Railroad Yard, from the series Indians on Tour, 2005
C-print on paper, 1/15
40.8 x 55.8 cm Image: 35 x 50.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Kathleen M. Richardson Fund and with funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program/Oeuvre achetée avec l'aide du programme d'aide aux acquisitions du Conseil des Arts du Canada
A member of the Onondaga tribe of Six Nations in Ontario, Jeffrey Thomas lives in Ottawa, Ontario, and identifies himself as an urban Iroquois. He is known for his studies of "Indianness" through which he challenges the presence, absence, and position of First Nations people in relation to Canadian historical monuments. This piece is from his series Indians on Tour, which was inspired by a gift he received of stereotypical "Indian" figurines. The artist began experimenting with the toys by posing them in his everyday world. The results have produced an important body of work that continues the artist's trajectory of recontextualizing historical images, while at the same time dismantling stereotypical representations of First Nations people.

Need a place to get away and have total privacy and relaxation? Maybe you have relatives or friends visiting and they need a relaxing place to stay. Paradise Lodge is perfect for you.
Paradise Lodge is located on a rustic, secluded plantation that has been part of the Adams family since the 1800's. After searching for 25 years for the perfect getaway, owners Randy and Melissa decided they could create their own perfect getaway since all the ingredients were right at their back door.
Paradise Lodge was built in 2006 and is unique that it is a private lodge setup for one or two couples. (We only rent to two couples if the couples know each other.) Paradise Lodge provides tranquility since it is located at the end of a dead end road with trees and nature surrounding it. It is amazing that a place so remote is still within 20 minutes from Greenville or New Bern.
You can shoot at Paradise Target Range, relax with a book on a porch rocker, or enjoy a nice inviting hot tub. We offer all the amenities for a relaxing and pleasurable evening. Randy and Melissa will treat you like they want to be treated.
All of this is just the basic package. You may want to add a catered dinner. We can create a package specially designed to meet your needs.
We have two wonderful dogs. We love pets but they are not allowed at Paradise Lodge.
Come see us and discover Paradise

Demystifying quince in world cuisine,
Welcome to "Queen of Quince," a site dedicated to growing and cooking fruiting quince (Cydonia oblonga).
Quince trees grow wild in the rich, Caucasus mountain soil of Georgia, Armenia, and Northern Iran. The Caucasus boasts the origin, or at least early cultivation, of grapes, pomegranates, and apricot. However, heirloom quince is the region's quintessential ancient fruit.
Today, quince trees are cultivated on every continent, and every fall, quince lovers the world over profess their adoration for the aromatic, apple-or-pear shaped golden, fuzz-coated globes that hang heavy on tree branches in the garden.
From earliest times, cooks made quince preserves—ruby-colored jams, jellies, and marmalades brimming with the distinctive apple-honey-rose flavor of quince. Then in 2009, Simply Quince, the first cookbook dedicated solely to quince in culinary history, showed professional chefs and home cooks that quince is more than just jams and jellies.
The "new taste of quince" emerged with an array of savory-sweet stews, exotic mains, unique condiments, trendsetting salads, and spectacular pastries. The quince revolution has begun! Quince is appearing on the menus of cutting edge chefs everywhere across the country. Simply Quince was just the beginning! The work continues and it continues with your participation. It's time to join together to demystify the quince and return it to its rightful place on the table and in the garden.

Add a Little Warmth for Those Cold Days. Forget about those goose bumps when stepping out of the shower on those cold winter days this bathroom heater unit is equipped with a heater to add a little warmth when the temperature starts to drop. A tubular, stainless steel sheathed heating element features Nichrome wire with magnesium oxide for optimal heat transfer and electrical insulation at elevated temperatures. Add Some Overhead Light to Your RoomThis Panasonic bathroom heater not only ventilates the air in your room, but provides overhead lighting as well. The two 18-watt compact fluorescent lamps are equivalent to 100-watt incandescent lighting while the convenient, 4-watt nightlight will help you find your way through the room in the dark. All lamps are included.
So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
These Panasonic bathroom heaters feature a totally enclosed condenser motor and a double-tapered, dolphin shaped bladed blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs, so it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.
Continuous, Trouble free Operation for Many Years
This Panasonic bathroom heater is designed to give you continuous, trouble free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last, we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.
Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic blower fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

More than 80 of Sheboygan County's most talented high school musicians recently performed a riveting 45-minute concert for more than 300 spectators at Lakeland College's Bradley Theatre.
The Central Lakeshore Conference 2014 Honors Band, an "all-star" collection of talent from nine Sheboygan County high schools, performed under the direction of guest conductor Christopher Werner, Lakeland's first-year director of band, on Jan. 2.
The students, who rehearsed only twice together prior to their collaborative performance, drew a standing ovation from many of the parents, friends and music lovers who attended. The concert included works by Beethoven and Bach.
"It was great fun," said Werner. "It's amazing what young people can do when they're challenged. The results were pretty impressive. Never underestimate young people."
Schools represented were Cedar Grove-Belgium, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, Howards Grove, Kohler, Oostburg, Ozaukee, Random Lake, Sheboygan Christian and Sheboygan Lutheran.
Instruments played included alto sax, baritone sax, tenor sax, bassoon, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, euphonium, flute, French horn, oboe, percussion, trombone, trumpet and tuba.
"These kids came together, from different schools, not knowing each other, and in an instant, they came together and played beautiful music," said Richard Tengowski, honors band chairman. "We could tell during the first rehearsal that this would be one of the better groups, so we chose a little more challenging music. The kids really stepped up and did a remarkable job."
Band directors from each of the CLC schools nominated their top performers to make up this all-conference musical ensemble. The students rehearsed at Lakeland under their respective schools' band directors on Dec. 17, then came together again at Lakeland on the day of the performance for four final hours of rehearsal under Werner.
Werner seemed to enjoy the evening, as he enthusiastically offered up brief nuggets of background and other details about some of the pieces the students performed. Tengowski said he was impressed with Werner's passion and musical acumen.
"We want this event to be on a neutral site, so Lakeland is ideal, but also, this is a way for these talented area students to discover that there's a great college in their backyard with spectacular music teachers," said Tengowski. "This is really a win-win for everyone."

As we count down to the holidays and a new year and a new legislative session, we have been busier than ever, finding innovative and cost-effective ways to better serve the people of Washington.
Even though many of our signature programs are considered among the finest in the country, we are striving to get even better every day – and I appreciate your support and your interest in the work of the Office of the Secretary of State. It is a real privilege to serve you all.
"Service excellence" is one of our core values, and I'm seeing it demonstrated in so many ways:
• An Elections Division that helped counties report general election returns faster on election night.
• A Washington State Library that partnered with Microsoft to provide free information technology training for all of our state residents. The State Library just turned 160, but this is not your grandfather's library. We're showing an exciting new forward-thinking way to use technology to directly benefit people and their libraries across the state.
• Our team that developed a terrific proposal for co-locating the Washington State Archives and State Library on or near the Capitol campus, to better serve visitors and patrons and to solve a looming problem of being out of space.
• Our legacy team that rebranded our history projects as Legacy Washington, with a portal for easy, free online access to library, archives, oral history, state history, civics curriculum and other helpful resources.
• A Corporations and Charities Division that efficiently and effectively handled thousands of inquiries and filings from our business community and charities. The division is developing a new capacity for online service.
And the list goes on. As always, I welcome your feedback and your suggestions. We listen.
Kim Wyman is the Washington Secretary of State. She can be contacted by emailing email@example.com.

According to a press release, the Pathway X1 portable satellite antenna is the smallest satellite antenna on the market today. It is 40% smaller than the popular Winegard Carryout, weighing just 10 pounds, and is also the only portable satellite antenna available that offers the ability to convert to a permanent roof mount antenna. Consumers will also appreciate the user-friendly operation and 15-minute setup.
"Expanding our Pathway family has been a top priority in order to offer our mobile customers smaller, lighter, faster and automatic satellite antenna options," said Aaron Engberg, director mobile sales channel for Burlington, Iowa-based Winegard. "The X1 contains the latest technology available and is super easy to setup and operate. For Winegard, it's all about improving convenience and ease of use for our customers, as well as providing them with the highest quality TV viewing experience – wherever they travel."
Key benefits to the Pathway X1 antenna include:
• Automatically finds DISH satellites.
• Single cable setup – antenna powered through receiver via one coax cable.
• Perfect solution for one TV, but also supports two coax ports for two TVs.

Both Pathway X1 and X2 antennas are compatible with DISH Solo HD receivers (models 411, ViP 211, ViP 211k, and ViP 211z) and with pay-as-you-go programming available in SD/HD packages. Using the remote, customers simply select the state in which they are located and the antenna will automatically locate the DISH satellites.
If mounted to the vehicle roof, the Pathway X1 is for stationary use only. Receiver bundle packages (antenna plus DISH receiver) are available for both the X1 and X2. Additionally, Winegard offers a two years parts, one year labor warranty on the Pathway models.

Hey guys. Here's the next Bayformers robot tutorial. After finally seeing Dark of the Moon, I was really surprised at how much screen time Laserbeak got. He really stole the show in some respects.

I am thinking of instigating a warning-label movement that reads something like this: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU HAVE CANCER, HAVE HAD CANCER, OR MIGHT HAVE CANCER IN THE FUTURE.
I remember a few nights before my surgery when a well-meaning person gave me a book about another woman who had cancer. "I think it will make you laugh!" my friend said. I was scheduled for a lumpectomy in three days. I needed a laugh. The book turned out to be about a woman who had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Her surgery gave her gangrene and she spent three weeks in intensive care and several months afterward, stuffing gauze into her gaping stomach wound that would not heal … I kid you not.
If I had a penny for every time I open a book or watch a movie that ends in cancer death, I could pay off my mortgage. Another one I read for a break from my cancer was about three young single girls living in New York (à la Sex in the City before Samantha gets breast cancer). It opened with a sex scene in which one of the young women is crying because a man is about to touch her breasts for the first time since her double mastectomy. Nowhere on the book jacket was there ANY mention of breast cancer.
Last night I rented a movie called Elegy. Just in case you think it's me that is missing the signals in all these instances, the cover reads verbatim: Respected cultural critic and author David Kepesh (Ben Kingsley) is a middle-aged college professor who, for years, has lived in a state of "emancipated manhood." His romantic conquests many; his lasting commitments few. But when a stunning young student (Penelope Cruz) enters his life, her otherworldly beauty captivates him to the point of obsession. Soon, their erotic relationship evolves into an undying and passionate love in this gripping drama that explores the power of love to blind, reveal and transform.
Did you catch it in there? Anywhere? Any signs for you? Lest I spoil the movie for you, stop reading here if you don't want to know the ending. She falls in love with an older man and he assumes (we all know what assuming gets us) that he will die before her and she will want to date someone younger. So when they break up for no good reason and they don't talk for two years, imagine everyone's shock when this student calls to give him the news (and on New Year's Eve for dramatic effect) that she has breast cancer! Her one request is that he photograph her very beautiful breasts before the doctors have their way with them.
I bawled like a baby for a million reasons, starting with the fact that I don't look like Penelope Cruz. (I recognize this has nothing to do with breast cancer). I might add if anyone ever saw that ridiculous movie with Cruz and Nicholas Cage set in Greece where he has the bad Italian accent and poses as an army officer during the war, she looked better in a kerchief (I kid you not) and a peasant dress doing laundry in the fields than I have ever looked, even 20 years ago on my best day with a shower and make-up. Second, why didn't I think to take pretty black-and-white arty pictures of my breasts before I had them removed? I mean, the first time (thanks to Dr. Jane Kakkis), I had very little scarring and only a small indent where she removed and rearranged my breast tissue. The second time, exactly 12 days elapsed between my recurrence and my concurrent double mastectomy and TRAM flap reconstruction. My to-do list was a mile long and I never even thought about taking "before" pictures. I do have these funny ones that Dr. Mark Kobayashi took after drawing all over my body like an errant schoolchild with a purple Sharpie, but I digress.
Back to Elegy. In the end, they leave you hanging with the idea that everyone thought he was going to die first and in this unexpected twist, she will be the one to go. I was left wondering as usual why there is NO WARNING LABEL on the movie. Nothing to suggest to us cancer survivors that we might want to spend our night a different way.
I also wonder how photos of my breasts would help me in any way now. They are gone. Would I show my daughter someday? This is what mommy's breasts looked like before the surgery that became "normal" to her eyes. She sometimes asks me, is this where the doctor cut your breasts? Does it hurt? No, I tell her. It's all better now.
It's not really the photo of my breasts I wish I had. It's the memory of how they felt. I wish I had memorized it better, remember what every caress felt like, even the wind or the touch of my blouse. Maybe it is my coping mechanism, but I cannot recall no matter how hard I try what it was like to have my natural breasts that I was born with. And that is another reason I cried.

Germantown artist Rocio Cabello is wired this weekend, in a show of her work in Mt. Airy at the Green on Greene building. Cabello, 49, works almost exclusively in wire, creating works that are figurative, decorative and sometimes literary — from the phrases that move her most.
Born in Lima, Peru, she moved to New York when she was 11 after her mother died, joining an older sister in the Bronx. This past Friday, she took her oath as an American citizen.
Rocio's husband, Rene Molenaar, was born in Aruba. He owned an art gallery in the Bronx in 1989 when they met and began working together. They now have two sons, 6 and 11.
Rocio studied commercial art for two years at Parsons School of Design in New York, working at the time with her siblings in a commercial art firm where she was the staff illustrator.
"Today there are two aspects of my artistic life," she says. "One is the very private work in my studio, mostly with wire. My more public work involves landscaping — creating outdoor spaces for contemplation, to play, to create playing areas." In East Falls, she painted the floor mural at Thomas Mifflin school, for example.
In New York, she also did 'guerrilla gardening', especially when it prevented dumping on private or public land. "In Brooklyn and the Bronx or Staten Island, that is always a problem. Lots of empty lots and garbage. Whenever my husband and I moved to a new borough, at our corner there was always the same thing.
"We lived in shady neighborhoods in New York. Then my first son was born, and my priorities changed. I wanted to live near a park or playground, but we couldn't afford neighborhoods with gardens and parks. I was almost 40, trying to work as much as we could to make rent in New York.
"My friends in Philly have been saying to come here. Every trip to visit, we would visit one new neighborhood. When we found Germantown, we knew this was something we could afford, the perfect combination, so much nature. We are in Philly, NOT the suburbs! So we moved here in 2002. One of their sons now attends GFS, the other is home-schooled."
Rocio's life today follows a trajectory of personal and artistic growth. "A lot of my work comes out of the transformation of experiencing tragedies. The dark tunnel I had experienced especially early in my youth was out of control, traumatizing. Then I realized much later that certain phrases had love and power, and I wanted them around me. What I do is more permanent than graffiti, but more ephemeral than some other forms of art. It won't last 1,000 years."
The Mt. Airy show will display 30 works from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Green on Greene building is at 6819 Greene St., at Carpenter Lane. Saturday will also feature the Indian fusion trio of Rajiv. More information at 215-842-1040 or mailto: email@example.com.
