I remember hearing the name Mary Katrantzou for the first time, many fashion weeks ago (and wondering how the devil to pronounce it, or spell it!), and I remember thinking 'here's something fresh'. Ever since, I've paired the name with fun, original and quirky prints, as well as awesome colours and shapes. So, when I heard that the Central Saint Martins graduate had launched a range of clutch bags based on those same fantastic digital prints, I was desperate to see them.
I've not been disappointed either…in fact I want them all. No surprise I know, but just look at these beauties…..
Sorbonne printed leather pouch, £490, NET-A-PORTER
I love me some vintage stamps with birds on. I have stacks of them stashed in my studio, and love making jewellery out of them. So it's no wonder I'm in love with this vibrant 'Sorbonne' print, and would happily carry by stuffs and things about in it.
I adore this blue print, another postage stamp design printed onto the gorgeous 'Kathmandu' pounch. I also love the soft leather and the 'shove it all in' size, which would will easily hold an iPad, small laptop, and all your other bits and bobs.
Pound printed leather pouch, £490, NET-A-PORTER
This one has to be my favourite though. Made again in luxuriously supple leather and lined in super-soft cotton-twill in a stunning shade of green, the 'Pound' pouch is just so incredibly pretty and clever. I'm crazy about this print, even though I've always found our sterling monies quite dull compared to the notes in other countries. I'd be delighted though to carry this around.

NCSE is delighted to congratulate two of its members, Joseph Felsenstein and John D. Roberts, who are among the eighteen individuals to be honored by the National Academy of Sciences in 2009 with "awards recognizing extraordinary scientific achievements in the areas of biology, chemistry, geology, astronomy, social sciences, psychology, and application of science for the public good," according to a January 28, 2009, press release.
In a close vote on January 23, 2009, the Texas state board of education approved a revision of the state's science standards lacking the controversial "strengths and weaknesses" language, which in 2003 was selectively applied by members of the board attempting to dilute the treatment of evolution in the biology textbooks then under consideration.
Even as the Discovery Institute's Stephen C. Meyer was trying to convince the Texas state board of education of his scientific bona fides, the antievolution textbook he coauthored was receiving a scathing review in a top scientific journal.
Oakland, CA
In a close vote on Friday, the Texas State Board of Education approved revised science standards which removed controversial language mandating that students be taught the "strengths and weaknesses" of scientific theories.
The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) applauds this move, since the references to "weaknesses" in the old standards have been used to introduce creationist attacks on evolution in textbooks and classrooms.

Attention in Washington is now focused squarely on the upcoming fiscal cliff -- a package of deficit reduction measures that would slow the economy through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. But this looming obstacle should also serve as a reminder for consumers to review their own financial standing.
Continue Reading Below
While the nation faces its fiscal cliff at the beginning of next year, most Americans are likely to run into a fiscal cliff of their own at one time or another -- a sudden drop in income or rise in expenses that can overwhelm their household budget unless they are prepared. Here are four individual fiscal cliffs that could hit your budget, along with some advice on preparing for these events.
1. Loss of a job
Relating the potential for losing a job to the budget crisis in Washington isn't just an analogy -- the two might be related. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that next year's fiscal cliff would send unemployment back up near 9%. The National Association of Manufacturers sees the consequences being even more drastic -- their estimate has unemployment rising to 12% if the fiscal cliff isn't avoided.
More From MoneyRates.com
In either case, it looks like more Americans may be at risk of losing their jobs next year. Building an emergency fund to weather this kind of storm is just common sense. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median length of time for which a person is unemployed is about 20 weeks, though it can be much higher for some professions. This points to the wisdom of having about half a year's worth of expenses saved up in an emergency fund to help see you through a possible stretch of joblessness.
2. Damage to your car or home
While you may have insurance to bear the heaviest costs should an accident damage your car or home, depending on your policy you may face a substantial deductible payment in such an event. You should know what those deductibles are, and try to keep at least that amount in savings.
As with emergency funds for unemployment, money set aside in case of an accident needs to be accessible at any time, so savings or money market accounts are suitable for this purpose. You may also take advantage of higher CD rates on longer-term CDs, if you can find a CD with a reasonably mild penalty for early withdrawal.
3. College costs
While college can be very expensive, at least it is a foreseeable expense that you can save up for over a long period of time. In fact, if you start once your kids are born, you should have time to include some growth investments such as stocks in these savings. Be sure to check out fafsa.ed.gov, a government website detailing financial aid options.
4. Caring for elderly parents
The so-called sandwich generation is faced with not only financing their children's education, but often also with helping to care for their aging parents. Elder care can be extremely expensive, so you and your parents need to develop a long-term plan for financing it so it doesn't drain both of your resources.
Sometimes these personal fiscal cliffs are foreseeable, and sometimes they aren't. In either case, building a reserve of savings is the best way to survive encountering one.

That is really nice.
I'm too stingy with my money to try it though. Every situations different but if there is someone compatable with me who is right down the lane, I don't think I am gonna drop a couple hundred to go see another cross border.
Then again that's me.

I say this as someone who avoided pursuing single friends of mine for years because I wanted the relationship to ultimately become marriage. I was past the point in my life where I'd be dating for the sake of dating, and getting involved with someone I had no future with (due to religious differences, for example), was just a waste of time. In my mind, a long-distance relationship is a hindrance, and a long-distance relationship with the "perfect" person is just torturous.
So don't envy your friend. He may have found someone now, but it's someone who, though no fault of her own other than the circumstances, is passively stagnating his life. Given the choice between waiting for the truly perfect person or tying yourself down with someone who seems perfect but is ultimately unattainable, which would you prefer?

Not to mention that, if they are of different cultures, while it might create unseen problems, it also presents a unique opportunity to experience something others can't do as easily, in context of other countries and cultures. Yea, long-distance is torture, but in the end it might well be worth it, as it sometimes serve to bring couples closer together seeing how communication and trust, two of the main factors in a relationship IMHO, must be enforced even more.
If you don't take the jump, you'll never find out and you only live once. Speaking from personal experience.

Look. I have a girlfriend who lives only an hour away, and we still understand that she needs to move to my city before the relationship progresses any further. To do that, she first needs to find a job up here (no easy task even with the interview places being in driving distance, and yet MUCH easier than doing it in another country). After that, she needs to leave her family and friends behind, since an hour drive is too far to casually meet up with them anytime she feels like it. It's going to be a drastic change, and that's just from one county over.
And you think moving to another country for the sake of "love" is just something you can explain away with "All you need to do is..."? Really?

But what does it achieve? Indeed, you could crash and burn and you will spend an absurd amount of time sorting it all out. However, I'd argue it also evolves you as a person. It gives you experience you wouldn't otherwise have if you hadn't taken the step, that you can later use in life. And that's not even counting if it all works out with the relationship. It's easy for me to say as my gf is almost certain to move to me, but if the roles were reverse I could still do it because I want to "live life", to put it in a cliche way. Not to be bound down in the ways that I've always been. "Take the chance."
But it's really down on an individual level, and I hope it works out for your friend. There is no definite answer to this whole thing. The only answer can only be found out once the deed is done.

And you are wrong, I am in a long distance relationship and we will eventually move together and either he or I will leave the family and friends behind. But thats what telephone, emails and airplane ticket are for.
I have moved before big time, I dont live in my country of origin. Its not a big deal for me, because you can always find new friends and always get a new cellphone contract, etc. The question is, whether you want to do this for the person you love?
So your gf seems to be the one to do this for you, since obviously you dont want to change your life for her. And thats your choice, dont get me wrong, so as long as she is fine with it, than there is nothing more to say to it.
But the way you post here sounds like you are talking for everybody, which you are not. Different people see things differently.

We're doing what's best for both of us - what's best for the relationship. It's not about one person or the other changing their life because the other won't. It's about doing what's best for the couple.

For crying out loud, even simple relationships where people are next door break-up because they get bored or just don't feel the love anymore. For those who are truly willing to cross it, no bridge is high enough. Or so they say, some are just unbeatable for sure.
AtomicoX I thank you in his stead for nice wishes and warita good luck to your relationship too. ^^

So me and my girlfriend are planning to get married. There is a huge obstacle ahead though. She's an international student from Macau. We've been together three years and gone to the same university. In order for us to get married though we'll both have to go through the process of her getting her green card and also her working permit for the U.S. later on. But the important thing is being able to get married first. From the research I've conducted thus far, I hear it's expensive and complicated. Any thoughts on where I should begin? There is so much information on the internet I'm not sure where to start. I was even thinking about making a separate thread on this.

I want a simple small ceremony with only the closest relatives (brothers, sisters, (grand)parents and a few close friends.
I also think it would be really nice to hold the wedding party in the garden and order some simple catering. Nothing big really. Maybe I could just order the main course from the catering plus the tables ..................and appetizers and cakes can be prepared by the woman in my family. In fact, that would be kindo nice.
I never was into big expensive weddings. Maybe the more important part would be to have nice photos from the wedding
Unfortunately, the family of my bf likes big showy weddings. Not sure how well my plans will sit with them.

Having worked as a videoman for weddings for a while, this is how things are like here:
- the wedding costs ~5k€, split between the church, catering business and filming/getting the digital album done.
- the after party depends on where it's done and how big the couple wants it to be, so that varies a lot per job and by area. It could be done anywhere from a house to a hotel hall.
- not entirely sure as to how complicated it can get, but there's a lot of organization that needs to be done. Perhaps you should open a thread for it indeed...

I would'nt want more than twenty people at my wedding, and costs should not go anywhere significantly above the price of the food needed and whatever money it takes to get the government to accept the union.
If a place like a church charges an exorbitant amount: Wedding, say goodbye to Church. Public park, say hello to Wedding.

I'd have to talk to my girlfriend about it, but I can't imagine that our wedding will be especially large. My family consists of about 8 people, and I can see myself maybe inviting a dozen friends or so. That's only twenty people, and while I'm sure she'll have more guests (and that I'm forgetting some), I doubt it'll be that much more. So I'll say 60-75 people? That's not a big wedding, is it?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NASCAR fans were injured when large chunks of debris, including a tire, sailed into the grandstands when a car flew into the fence on a frightening last-lap accident in the second-tier Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. As emergency workers tended to injured fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration. The crash began as the field closed in on the finish line and sent rookie Kyle Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats.

Newman Visiting Scholar Patrick Crittenden Brings Fresh Perspective on Climate Change and Energy Efficiency for the Built Environment
The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College to feature Crittenden in two roundtable discussions
NEW YORK, NY-March 19, 2013 � The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College sees the importance of acknowledging the need for cultural change in energy efficiency and management regarding climate change and has looked internationally for effective solutions. The Institute has invited Patrick Crittenden as a visiting scholar to provide an understanding of what is being done successfully in Australia and Europe and how to apply those strategies and solutions to the New York metropolitan region and nationally.
Mr. Crittenden has partnered with corporate and government clients on projects that span climate change strategy development, training and education, government policy and program development. He has been involved in the development of key energy efficiency policy and program measures in Australia including the National Energy Efficiency Opportunities legislation, which was introduced in 2006. As well as developing and evaluating government energy efficiency policy and programs, Mr. Crittenden has researched the success factors that have seen leading real estate firms in Australia achieve energy saving of between 25 and 35 percent over the past five years. Mr. Crittenden has presented the outcomes of his research and experience in Asia, Europe and the United States in recent years.
The Institute will host two roundtable discussions featuring Patrick Crittenden at Baruch College: "Bridging the Energy Efficiency Gap, Can Government Policy Drive Strategic Energy Management?" on Wednesday, March 20 and "Leveraging Public Mandates for Private Gain: Integrating Energy Efficiency into Corporate Culture," on Friday, March 22. For additional information on these discussions contact Sara Hilska Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mr. Crittenden will share his wealth of international knowledge with the Newman Institute through participation in conferences, developing workshops and education programs for the Advanced Energy Performance (AEP) Certificate program, research and white papers. Topics will include the response of the real estate community in Australia to climate-related weather events, designing complementary policies for energy efficiency to support cultural change in real estate and strategies that real estate firms can use to ensure they maximize business outcomes whilst meeting the requirements of energy efficiency legislation.
"Patrick has created important energy and sustainability programs in Australia that have proven to be successful examples of progressive change in social thinking, corporate culture and the advancement of climate change response for real estate policymakers and stakeholders. We can learn greatly from his case studies and I look forward to bringing this important content and dialogue to our region," stated Jack Nyman, Executive Director of the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute.
"The New York real estate community has faced similar climate change-related challenges both in terms of severe weather events and the need to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Crittenden. He continued by saying that "Sharing experiences internally helps us to collectively explore the relative strengths of our approaches and to identify ways in which we can make them even more effective."
The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute offers education and research opportunities to address the needs of the real estate industry. Through professional education courses and workshops, the Institute trains current practitioners and the next generation of real estate professionals, helping them succeed in, and contribute to, an evolving marketplace. As Executive Director of The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute, Jack S. Nyman leads strategic planning and partnering; guides education programs, research, publishing, and public events; and manages operations. Under his direction, the Institute hosts dynamic public events for industry experts to share their knowledge and advance thinking in the field. Individuals, companies, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies all benefit from the programs offered by the Institute.

Carolyn and I headed to the mountains to visit Dolores who has a summer cottage near Brevard, N.C.
If you go through Greenville on the Interstate, it's a fairly short ride.
Dolores says she makes it in four and a half hours.
We didn't.
We had detoured from Bluffton via Estill and Girard to Augusta to take daughter Anne Elizabeth and her family to celebrate her birthday.
After lunch, it seemed logical that instead of going up to Columbia on the interstate, we would drive across Augusta to Furys Ferry Road which turns into Highway 28, then become Highway 221 past Clark's Hill Lake, that fisherman's paradise created by the Corps of Engineers in 1951 when they built the J. Strom Thurmond Dam.
According to Wikipedia, at 71,000 acres, it is the third largest artificial lake east of the Mississippi. To compare size, Daufuskie Island is, give or take, 5,000 acres.
As you speed along the interstates, it is easy to forget that there are roads running parallel to connecting towns and cities, municipalities that to the interstate driver are only names on exit signs.
On the back roads, we cruised along at a most sedate rate, admiring cotton fields in full bloom, lush green plants covering acres we thought might be peanuts and delighting sometimes in having the entire highway to ourselves.
Going along at a slower pace is an invitation to explore and we noticed a number of state parks along the way, turning in at the first one near Plum Branch, the Hamilton Branch State Park.
Unless you count the white pick-up truck that was heading for the exit, there was not a soul to be seen at any of the wooded camp sites along the shore of Lake Thurmond.
We drove through McCormick wondering if it was named after Cyrus, a pretty little town whose main street straddles the railroad track.
Not long after, we found ourselves in Greenwood, whose native son is the well known Hootie Johnson of Augusta National fame.
We got lost. Don't ask.
It was getting late. It had been a long day. I was tired and we decided to spend the night at the local, very comfortable and friendly Greenwood Hampton Inn.
In the morning, we continued our travels on U.S. 25 and passed Hodges, Ware Shoals, Princeton and Woodville. We passed Furman University, Paris Mountain State Park and just outside Travelers Rest, we passed a fruit stand advertising South Carolina peaches.
I made a U turn.
And that is how we met Mr. Clarence English.
When he found out where we were going and which way we were gong, he took exception.
"You don't want to go that way," he said emphatically.
He walked me to the edge of the road, talking and pointing.
"See that road right there?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Well, take that road, go to the stop sign, turn left, go over the overpass and keep on going until you meet U.S. 276. It will take you straight into Brevard."
Then, he added, "you can't miss it."
"Give me your cell phone number," I said.
And he did.
I had no idea that cellphones didn't work in the mountains.
With our peaches, apples, the most delicious of tomatoes and a jar of blackberry honey tucked into our cooler, we left.
Mr. English stood on the roadside watching.
We followed his instructions explicitly. Everything went fine. Then we got to the road that goes up to Caesars Head.
This is a road with drop offs and switchbacks and as many curves as a manic telephone cord.
It goes up and up and up.
For about nine miles we went up through some of the lushest, greenest forest I have ever seen.
Beyond beautiful.
We got up to Caesars Head State Park and stopped for a picnic lunch at a table on a ridge with a spectacular overview of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
Awesome. Dolores's house was 10 minutes away.
If you have a hankering to see this out of the way part of South Carolina, go.
If you have any questions, I will be glad to give you Mr. English's phone number.
Annelore Harrell lives in Bluffton and can be reached at email@example.com.

Nov. 10, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - In its second appearance in the ECAC Division III New England Men's Soccer Championship Tournament, MIT finished the day with several firsts. The No. 1-seeded Engineers defeated No. 8 Plymouth State University, 1-0, marking their first tournament win and their first victory over the Panthers. Individually, Jose Ramon Torradas established a new Institute record by tallying his 33rd career assist and Morgan Mills tied the season shutout record. MIT will host No. 4 U.S. Coast Guard Academy in a semifinal match-up on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 1:00 p.m.
Despite having an advantage in shots (5-2) and corner kicks (4-1), Plymouth State struggled to get on the scoreboard in the first half. MIT (13-3-1) was able to match the Panthers' (9-8-1) efforts in the second frame, tallying five shots and four corner kicks apiece. The Engineers ended the scoreless affair in the 69th minute when Ryan Sheffler connected on a pass from Torradas. Plymouth State had a chance to tie the game with 11:52 remaining on a shot by Felix Rosen, but Tech goalie Morgan Mills leapt into the air and blocked the ball with his right hand to preserve the shutout.
Morgan Mills totaled seven saves and posted his sixth shutout of the season. Jayson Smith made one save for the Panthers.

This Week's Important Florida News!
Two Boffo Stories:
Story One: Man arrested for giving wicked wedgies, or snuggies, or melvyns, or whatever you call pulling the underwear over a nerd's head.
Story Two: Fifty Year Old School Teacher Gets Tanked on Cheap Wine, wrecks her van, offers to blow the cop if he lets her go.
Florida, I love you. You're just so fun!
Story #1:
Charles Ross is known for orchestrating outrageous pranks and posting them to Youtube. But this time, the 18-year-old prankster may have gone a step too far.
Ross was arrested for battery Sunday night after he allegedly gave a series of wedgies to moviegoers outside the Carmike Royal Palm 20 in Bradenton, Fla., while a friend filmed the prank, the Bradenton Herald reports.
The underwear prank, which Gawker calls a "wedgie spree," ended badly for Ross when a 20-year-old male victim reported to authorities that Ross grabbed him "by the back of his pants and pulled them up hard," according to the Smoking Gun. Although other victims of the schoolyard prank also came forward, the 20-year-old is the only one seeking charges.
On his Youtube channel, Ross has uploaded video footage of him performing a variety of pranks -- from doing handstands over people to trying out pick-up lines -- but the latest in his compilation is by far one of his most hands-on public displays.
According to the police report obtained by the Smoking Gun, Ross challenged the male victim following the wedgie, "asking if he wanted to hit him."
The Mantee County Sheriff's Office arrested Ross and detained him overnight. He was released on $750 bail, records show, and his court date is set for Feb. 14.
Though Ross' wedgie spree was meant in jest, this is not the first time someone has been arrested for doling out the uncomfortable underwear gag. In 2006, an Albany, N.Y., teacher was arrested for endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly giving a 10-year-old student a wedgie during summer school.
Story #2:
'A' for effort?
Middle school math teacher Mary Maloney allegedly offered oral sex to a police officer after being nabbed for a hit-and-run in Palm Beach County, Fla.
Maloney, 53, was arrested Sunday after she crashed her van into a pickup truck around 8:35 p.m., then took off, according to an arrest report obtained by the Sun Sentinel. A witness to the crash tracked Maloney's car to a parking spot and then called police.
The arresting officer said he found an empty gallon jug of wine behind Maloney's driver's seat and "immediately smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her person," according to WPTV. The report states that her eyes were glassy, bloodshot, and partially closed.
The officer that drove Maloney to the police station noted that she asked him "How much do I need to pay you to just let me go? Don't you understand I am a school teacher?"
She then allegedly offered to perform oral sex on him and allow him to fondle her breasts.
Maloney was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with damage, resisting an officer without violence, driving with a suspended license and attempted bribery of a public servant.

As an ex-journalist, I love Florida for its wide variety, its richness and diversity of psycho crime and sexual deviance.
It's truly in a class of its own.

One man from Florida decided to buy and wear a "Jail Sucks!" T-shirt, complete with an illustration of an angry inmate behind bars.
And then he was arrested.
Undercover agents in Florida allegedly caught Don Castner, 39, selling Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), The Smoking Gun reported.
Castner was one of 39 people who fell victim to Manatee County Sheriff Office's "Operation Meal Ticket II," -- an undercover investigation targeting food stamp fraud, according to ABC Action News.
Authorities say suspects selling the EBT cards used the profits to buy drugs and alcohol.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steub said the 4-month-long investigation led to 103 arrest warrants, WTSP reported.
Castner, meanwhile, had to replace his novelty shirt with a smock before he was booked into jail, according to The Smoking Gun.

A man who allegedly stripped naked at a Daytona Beach convenient store told police he didn't know much, but he knew he was a monkey.
Officials say Daylen Holloman, 20, called 911 from a 7-Eleven at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal. The dispatcher asked Holloman is name and if he had consumed drugs of alcohol, but he repeatedly answered with "I don't know."
Police say eventually Holloman told the dispatcher he remembered his name, and stated, "It's monkey."
When officers arrived at the store, they say Holloman came outside and told them he didn't know why he called, according to WESH.
An officer asked Holloman what he did know and the Holloman allegedly replied, "I know I am a monkey."
The officer argued with Holloman, according to the Florida News Journal, telling the monkey impersonator that he knew he was a human because he was wearing human clothes.
Holloman allegedly responded to this watertight logic by removing his clothes, even when officers ordered him to keep them on.

She wanted to make love in this club, in this club, in this club -- and it led to her arrest.
Alicia Fawn Chessher, 26, was caught having sex in the bathroom of a Fort Walton Beach, Fla., club last week, but it was her alleged tangle with officers that landed her in jail.
Chessher -- who's been arrested in the past on charges of attacking a cop -- was escorted out of the Block nightclub after her restroom romp, the NWF Daily News reports. The hot and bothered club goer allegedly punched a staff member and tried to attack others on her way out.
She also struck a responding officer in the chest. A report obtained by the Sun-Sentinel states that she appeared highly intoxicated, with slurred speech, dilated pupils and a "staggered stance." She was restrained, but she continued to kick at officers and refused to enter a patrol car. She even allegedly tried to escape the police vehicle -- so cops pepper-sprayed her.
Chessher was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest with violence.

I'm hot for Teacher!
She posed in clothing you might see on any beach in America, but this ex-teacher said her bikini photos got her banned from for good from her classroom.
A former Martin County High School English teacher in Florida said she lost her job after one of her racy modeling photos came to the attention of the school's principal.
Olivia Sprauer, 26, who models under the name Victoria James, told The Huffington Post she knew she took a risk when she decided to pose for bikini photos beginning in February, but she decides she wanted to chance it.
"Lots of teachers get fired or asked to resign for the same things I did," Sprauer told HuffPost. "I knew I didn't want to come back next year and I knew I wanted to go to grad school so I decided if I made it to the end of the year I would be happy."
Unfortunately for Sprauer, who started teaching in 2011, she didn't quite make it. On April 29, she was called into principal Alfred Fabrizio's office. Sprauer said the principal showed her one of her modeling photos and, after she confirmed the picture was of her, she was asked to resign that day.
"I felt like it would have been nice for my students to finish out the year with me," Sprauer said. "They trusted me and they made me happy so that aspect of it was sad."
The Martin County School District would only confirm that Sprauer, who taught freshmen and juniors, is no longer employed at the school. A spokesperson for the district declined to comment further because it was a "personnel matter."
Sprauer said she did nothing wrong.
"I don't make pornography. I don't open my legs on camera. I take swimsuit glamour style photography," Sprauer said.
Sprauer said she still plans on attending her student's graduation.
"They are happy for me," Sprauer said. "They know I love them."

Talk about raising the mast.
Scott Barron, 67, is accused of masturbating in front of passing sailboats at a boat ramp Saturday in Alva, Fla., NBC 2 reported.
An off-duty deputy says he spotted Barron -- penis in hand -- standing on a sailboat parked at the ramp.
When the officer told him to stop, Barron first allegedly swore at him, then said he was just exercising.
Apparently the officer doesn't care about forearm strength, because he slapped Barron with an indecent exposure charge.
Barron was released from jail Sunday on $1,000 bond, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Barron isn't the only one who allegedly can't handle himself in public. In April, the aptly-named Elijah Slocumb was arrested after allegedly masturbating in public with such animation that "his whole body was shaking."
Earlier that month, hearings began for the former Vice-Mayor of a Tennessee town, who was accused of masturbating out of his open car window -- at 90 mph.

A woman from Immokalee, Fla., allegedly threw an 8-inch-long kitchen knife at her boyfriend after he farted in her face.
Deborah Ann Burns, 37, told Collier County detectives that an argument ensued Tuesday night, while the two were watching TV, Naples Daily News reported.
Burns says that her boyfriend purposely passed gas while walking by her on his way to the kitchen.
When officers responded to a report of a possible stabbing, they found Burns' boyfriend in front of his house, with cuts on his abdomen and left arm, according to a Collier County Sheriff's Office arrest report sent to The Huffington Post.
The victim told authorities that his stomach wound came when Burns and he were arguing in the kitchen over money. He said she threw the knife at him, left the house, but came back, and struck him in the arm with a stick.
According to the report, the victim makes no mention of the alleged flatulence, but "continually stated if [Burns] returned he would kick her ass."
When detectives interviewed Burns, she allegedly asserted that her boyfriend became agitated and began yelling only after she confronted him about his fart.
Burns was arrested following the incident and charged with aggravated battery. She remains in custody on a $50,000 bond.
According to Collier County arrest records, Burns was arrested eight times between 2005 and 2012, on charges including cocaine possession, failure to pay child support, and trespassing.

MIAMI (AP) — Authorities say a plastic surgeon in Miami attacked his girlfriend for several hours over a Facebook posting, forcing her head into a toilet and stuffing a rag in the woman's mouth at one point.
Police say 41-year-old Orlando Llorente was charged Wednesday with kidnapping, attempted murder and other charges. He was being held Thursday without bail in the Miami-Dade County jail.
Llorente grabbed the 36-year-old woman by the hair on April 21, took her into the bathroom and stuck her head in the toilet, said Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes. She said he also forced her into the bathtub, stuffed a rag in her mouth and poured water over her face.
Police didn't say what was in the Facebook posting that prompted the attack, which authorities said lasted some 16 hours. The woman was let go after promising Llorente she wouldn't tell anyone what happened.
Llorente's attorney, Marcos Beaton, said his client surrendered voluntarily to police and wants to clear his name.
"He reached out to law enforcement, through his lawyers, when these false allegations surfaced. We are disappointed that our requests for more time in which to present a thorough and thoughtful examination into the source of the allegations and the facts surrounding them was declined," Beaton said, according to The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/10IymnC ).

CAUTION - The cellphone video to the left contains violence and may be disturbing to some viewers.
LAKELAND, Fla. - A Central Florida school bus driver has been arrested after allegedly driving a group of students to her home and staging a fight.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says the driver, Patrice Sanders, took a busload of middle and high school students to her home Thursday and then had two of the students fight in her front yard.
According to the affadavit, Sanders picked up children from three schools, and when she heard a 13-year-old girl and 16-year-old girl verbally arguing on the bus, she said, "This is going to be handled today and they just need to fight."
She then drove the bus directly to her house, bypassing the stops she was supposed to make to drop off students. She then ordered all of the children off of the bus and told the two girls that she would give them Vaseline or baby oil to put on their faces so they wouldn't get scratched ruing the fight.
The 13-year-old told Sanders that she didn't want to fight. The girls then physically fought in Snaders' front yard in front of all of the other other children. At least one child took video of the fight on a cellphone.
Sanders did not try to stop the fight, but stood by and watched. The girls eventually stopped fighting and Sanders ordered all of the children back on the bus.
Once the bus was moving, the same two girls began fighting again. Sanders pulled over and watched the girls fight until they were done. She reportedly told all of the kids on the bus, "What happens on the bus, stays on the bus," and then proceded to take them all to their bus stops.
That night, the 13-year-old girl's mother reported the incident to police and took her daughter to the hospital to be examined. She did not have any serious injuries.
Detectives then interviewed the other girl who fought, and then arrested Sanders.
Sanders has been charged with child abuse, neglect, false imprisonment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Release Date: 2006 |
Album Rating: 4.0Please feel free to comment....
Also can someone plzz tell me how to format the text (bold, italics etc)... I did all that in Word but I guess all that's lost... I'll then format this thing a little bit and make it more presentable...
thanks.... cheers!
is it better than their last album, and to bold you do this
(B)(/B), except ('s are ['s (the ones underneath)
italics you use (I) and underline (u)This Message Edited On 09.24.06
this review is good
I like their first album.
Album Rating: 4.0 thanks acey ... yes .. this is much better than their last album
no problem, i might check this out, considering i liked thier last one.
Aw, damn, I wanted to get this album as soon as I could, and be the first to review it. I knew that was too good of an idea to be true. Likely, I'll get this, and review it, anyway. Well-written review, btw. I pretty much forgot about Evanescence for the past few months(maybe even a year...), but I've overlistened some of my other stuff, and this seems like a good thing to get back into, since I really enjoyed Fallen.This Message Edited On 09.24.06
Yeah, Cold had a lot of effects in their guitars, especially Terry. And yeah, that's the only thing I care about in regards to this album, was to see how different the guitar parts are compared to what Moody would have done. Cool review, too.
Is that the same Paul McCoy that sang/sings in 12 stones? I don't even know if they're together anymore.
Album Rating: 4.0sorry ... some misinformation there... was an unintentional mistake... thanx for calling it to my attention Cush ... changed it...
THough they do have a new bassist now
thnx JOm ... i know ... even I was kinda intrigued by what he'd do ... the result isn't bad at all.
This is an alright album. Evanescence for you.
They havent really changed much since their debut. But this is still an enjoyable album once in a while. I really like the emotional parts.
Good review, btw.
Album Rating: 4.0I like the chunky riffs on Cloud Nine. Lithium is also very impressive vocally. Excellent album and good review, btw.
My Mom bought the first one, and when I listened to it I enjoyed it for a little bit. I don't know if I'll pick this up though. Good review too.
Album Rating: 3.0I enjoyed this album a lot. I hate all the crap Evanescence takes. They are a very talented band, well Amy Lee is very talented at least and the backing band behind her doesn't sound horrible, even if it is simplistic. Its not there to blow you away with the musicianship it is there, like you said, to add to the wall of sound behind her. I actually kind of like this more than Fallen...
I like the dark vibe.
Huh...I should pick this up. The first album was decent enough...nothing special, but it had its moments. Good review too.
Album Rating: 3.5I want this.
Great review, can't wait to pick this album up.
Fallen was decent, it's probably not worth getting this if it's pretty much just more of the same.
@Luc214: If a good deal of the songs on this album are just as good as (if not better than) Call Me When You're Sober, it'll be worth it.
But you're right about the Fallen thing, only the first 4-5 songs were great.
I guess I'm in the minority here, since I couldn't stand Fallen. Well, at least it makes it easy to say I don't need to get this one!

Thank you for viewing my portfolio. I am grateful for all comments and favouritings my work may receive and I will tend to show this by reciprocating in kind.
Artist's Statement:
I am passionate about photography. It's hard to explain but I love to see and to look. Often I think we trudge from day to day without really looking and seeing the people and places around us. It's similar to asking someone how they are without really listening for the answer.
We live in a world that is beautiful, majestic, exquisite, marvellous but it can also be tragic, chaotic, and painful. With photography I find I can give what I see a voice and sometimes I can show the ordinary to be extraordinary.
My tools currently include the Canon EOS 5D MK ii with 3 Canon lenses – 24-70mm, 55-200mm, 50mm and 1 Sigma 10 – 20mm. I have also entered the world of filters with a LEE Starter Kit.

Write some Software
Budżet $30-250 USD
First, note that "Write some software does NOT properly describe my project. Freelancer has a limited choice of project descriptions and I had to pick one to post this project:
I have a website with several cron jobs that run weekly. They were written by coders familiar with cron jobs.
I am looking for someone who can:
(1) look at the cron job coding and MAKE NOTES on it to explain to me what it does (such as the most common task, moving files from one folder on the site to another). The files have the exact same name , so it is a fast and easy way to update files every week.
(2) be a sort of "teacher" to me so that I can write cron jobs myself, which basically will be the same as the ones currently running, but will use different files to be moved into different folders.
Let me elaborate on this. I am not a coder as such. But in the last year, I simply looked at some visual basic files generated in the FTP program I use, and was able to modify them fairly easily to expand them to do a larger quantity of deletes and uploads which I needed.
In the same way, I want to learn how to "tweak" the existing cron jobs (which are hosted and run on the HostMonster server) and make new ones from copying, cutting, editing, and pasting when I need to make changes.
As you can see, this is a very simple project that I expect should not take very long at all to complete for someone who is familiar with cron jobs. We would probably do several exchanges of information by email, and that would be it!
I am looking for someone with experience in this area who understands how easy this project will likely be. I do insist on a very good command of English as I have had several bad experiences with communication on other projects.
That's it! If you want to do this project, contact me with details and your best bid.

Well, in light of the recent allegations in C-bus, may we suggest the following for The Vest's next reading to the kids:
An excerpt:
We looked!
Then we saw him step in on the mat!
We looked!
And we saw him!
Terrelle and his tats!
And he said to us,
"Why do you sit there like that?
I know it is wet
And the sun is not sunny.
But we can have lots of fun
Lots of fun with booster money!"
"I know some good bars to go to,"
Said the QB.
"We can drive in the new car
The new car dealer just loaned me!
We will take the car, take the car out for a ride.
My coach
Does not care, so I have nothing to hide!"
Then Sally and I
Did not know what to say.
But Terrelle said Coach Tressel
Would look the other way.
But our fish said, "No! No!
Make Terrelle go away!
Tell that Cat with the Tats
You do NOT want to play.
He should not be here,
He should be on probation!
He should be suspended
With the rest of Buckeye Nation!"
"Now! Now! Have no fear.
Have no fear!" said the QB
"I won't get caught
Since my coach just ignores me.
Why, we can have
Lots of fun doing my thing
With a game that I call
Selling my championship ring!"
An excerpt:
I do not like the game's laws and its rules
I do not like them, they're only for fools
I did not like them during the days of Clarett
I do not like them nor have been busted just yet
I let Terrelle Pryor get his free tats
Then claimed, "Oh, I did not know about that!"
I do not like the rules they have about class
The N-C-A-A can kiss my Vest-wearing ass
I do not like the rules out on the field
And if we get busted, I'll surely appeal
I do not like the rules here in the 'Shoe
And our fans do not care as long as I beat the Blue
I do not like rules here or there
I do not like them ANYWHERE!

Ohio State Press Conference tonight with Gee, Smith, and Tressel.
ESPN is speculating his job "is in serious trouble".
I will be floored if he is actually fired.

even if ncaa has "something" on Sweaterboy, it's hard to imagine tosu cutting him loose short of, as they say, catching him w/ a live boy or a dead girl.
however, this incident is just a touch different than the past transgressions. they're not dealilng w/ the NCAA (yet). the feds have been climbing thru this tat parlor/collectibles store owner's background & finances for a couple of months, looking for tax evasion & various money "handling" violations. and they've been hunting down his "business" associates & asking a lotta questions.
some rumors have it that they've started dropping the dreaded "R" word (rico, and i don't mean as in "Puerto"). which scares even the most loyal booster.
when the NCAA shows up, most people just shut the door. when Justice shows up & starts saying things like "conspiracy"?? most people lawyer up & look for a way to rat out someone else.
who knows? maybe something will finally stick to the SOB?
but i wouldn't bet on it. tonight's presser will likely be the standard circle the wagons, deny everything, and wait it out.
but like buying a lottery ticket, it's fun to dream for a few hours.

Glad you got a laugh in what, I'm sure, are dark days around C-bus. Thanks for getting the sense of humor around here.
If you're a regular reader, you know we're just as harsh on our own when called for.

allow me to stand in for our tosu friends & provide the "appropriate" response to all this:
1) it happens everywhere;
2) you can't prove it;
3) ____ shouldn't be against the rules anyway;
4) this is all rumor & lies caused by jealousy over tosu's success;
5) this is what happens when you're so much more successful than your peers- they watch you more closely; &
6) 9-1 bitches! whooo hooo! 9-1! we own you!

Which is why I gave TnB props for putting it all in proper perspective and having a sense of humor about it.
Oh, and that 9-1 just might be 8-2 soon. I'm just sayin'...

Here's a link for the 7P.M. broadcast. I heard a terrible idea on another site. What if they fire Tressel and end up hiring Meyer out of this?

Well, it's official. He's a documented liar & cheat.
All the rest is details.

I love how pissed some Buckeye fans get at a U-M blogger's tweets during a press conference in which the OSU coach admits he cheated.

SiC---Actually some of those answers are correct. BUT, it doesn't excuse Tressel covering up what are frankly, minor violations.
This is sort of like Watergate. Dirty tricks between parties happen all the time. A coverup by Tricky Dick? Thats a different animal.
Yost. I am a regular reader. I was overjoyed when you started back up. I have always subscribed to the theory that tOSU and you weasels is the perfect symbiotic relationship. The rivalry is only as strong as the weakest link yadda yadda. But your writing is well done; and when things like Appy State happen, extremely fun to read. I'm too old to get overly juvenile with the smack talk...which is why I am more of a lurker.
Anyway, frankly, I am on the fence whether Tressel should resign.

i have 3 teenagers. i have stressed to them that no matter what they eff up, dealing w/ it is much better than trying to cover it up.
i agree that trading "stuff" for tats is not on the same level of getting cash & condos. had tosu disclosed this ahead of last season, the involved players would have received multiple game suspensions, made restitution, and that would have been the end of it. i'm not sure if that is minor, but it's not SMU level trouble.
that's not what happened. and in the end, the "cover up"- the failure to report the violations, the failure to try to cure it in house (they could have had the players make restitution w/ out notifying the NCAA), playing players that they knew were ineligible, and most damning, lying about it when it came to light in December, are going to be far bigger and damaging problems than the underlying "violation" was ever going to be.
and that's something even my 3 teenagers could have told you.

Thats just Fk'n funny
Life long Meeechigan fan and have always loved the Big 10, 11, now 12.
But it really is starting to disgust me how I can no longer carry an air of morale arrogance in conversation with a fan of an SEC, PAC10, BIG12 or any team out of Florida fan.

My work computer is legacy XP machine I built in 2008 (see sig). My original video card (AGPx8) finally bit the dust. I plan to build a new system this summer as time allows, so rather than buy yet another legacy video card, I installed another AGP video card I happened to have on-hand.
Although the Radeon 9600SE is significantly less powerful than my failed GeForce 7600 GS, I'm mostly satisfied with the performance, except for one particular artifact... When I open menus from within Windows (right-click on desktop or open any menu in Windows Explorer, Notepad, Device Mgr, etc), the menu is mostly blacked out except for a small square in upper left corner. Sweeping my cursor over the menu reveals the remaining portion. A bit of a hassle.
I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to remedy this short of buying yet another legacy card until I build my new system? Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with the various settings that affect video card ops.
Interestingly, this problem doesn't affect applications like MS Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, or even graphics intense programs like CorelDraw, so I don't think this is necessarily the result of a less powerful video card. I installed latest drivers (2010).

Irrational Games revealed the reverse cover art for BioShock Infinite today. The art chosen won 38% of fan votes on the poll posted by studio head Ken Levine earlier this month as the result of displeasure from fans over the game's official box art.
The art, the full version of which can be found after the break, will be printed on the other side of the BioShock Infinite cover. Levine noted that other alternate covers will be made available for fans to print.
Now hopefully we've all learned our lesson: It's what's on the inside that counts.
An interesting selection. It looks kind of like a classic novel cover.
People are still complaining about the reversed cover? Get over yourselves, just be glad they gave us an opportunity to pick a cover art. I did not vote for this one but its better than the one on the cover so im satisfied.
Better than what Irrational did to Booker having him pose like a model douche on the current cover, but still just an alright box art. They're being very lazy in this department.
