Barca play sweet music but fat lady yet to sing
LONDON - Barcelona made good on a promise to show how vintage football should be played in Wednesday's Champions League humdinger with Arsenal.
Worryingly for coach Pep Guardiola, their generosity of spirit extended so far they forgot they are in the business of winning matches as well as drawing gasps of admiration from the crowd.
Given the value of away goals, a 2-2 draw in London put the holders in a strong position to roll their title defence on into the last four but the second leg will be an unnecessarily tense affair after the Catalans let Arsenal off the hook.
"The feeling in the dressing room is one of frustration that we didn't get the job done," said midfielder Xavi, whose perfect pass set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic's second goal.
"We showed that we were the superior team," he told reporters. "It was a great performance from Barcelona and we know we should have closed this one down."
That Arsenal still have a chance going into next Tuesday's return at the Nou Camp is incredible, given the footballing lesson they were forced to sit through in the first half.
The intricate passing and one-touch control Barcelona have made their hallmark under Guardiola earned them a succession of chances they seemed to have to strive to miss before Ibrahimovic finally took them clear with two simple strikes early in the second half.
A place in the semis should have been all but secure given their dominance but they lacked ruthlessness to go with the resourcefulness and goals from England's Theo Walcott and Barca old boy Cesc Fabregas, the latter a debatable penalty, brought Arsenal back from the brink.
"We should have killed them off and we wasted that chance," Guardiola told reporters. "We have to be focused or we run the risk of going out."
Guardiola will doubtless have words with his players for their lack of a killer touch but the man who defined an era as an elegant midfielder with Barcelona, and is doing so again as a coach, could not resist accentuating the positive.
"I'm happy that we came here and showed how football should be played," he said. "It was the best away performance we've put in. I'm happy to have people watch our team playing like that."

The second leg of our road trip took us into the Musandam peninsula – a small Omani enclave to the north of the UAE looking out of the Straits of Hormuz and across to Iran. Although small, Musandam packs a punch with most of the land covered with a mountain range. The plan was simple, fit in as much as we could in only two days, before setting off back for Muscat.
After crossing the border back into Oman-owned Musandam, the scenery was already breathtaking – high cliffs lined the road along the coast, sometimes with barely enough land to make a road in the first place. In little coves were beaches filled with pristine white sands and turquoise waters. We ended up taking our time to get to Khasab, the main town in the peninsula – it was too stunning to bypass.
Goal of the day was to reach our camping spot before sunset and have a dip in the sea. We camped at Khawr an Najd, about an hour drive from Khasab. An Omani Khawr is akin to a Norwegian fjord, with high mountains diving straight into the sea, leaving nothing but beautiful blues in the waters. The view from the high pass into the Khawr was superb, and we were there late afternoon when the sun caught the yellows and oranges in the rock perfectly revealing a super saturated landscape, inviting us down.
As we approached the top of the pass into the Khawr, a couple of Omani men had their heads buried under the bonnet of their Toyota Hilux. We stopped and after a quick game of charades, we figured out their radiator had run out of water, so we gave them some bottled water to get them going again. This came back to us later on in the evening when the same two men approached us in the dark, handling a huge barracuda they had caught that afternoon after we had helped them. This was their kind offer of thanks for us helping them. Unfortunately, it was a little late and we had already had a few skewers on the BBQ, so we graciously declined the offer, rather than wasting the fish, so hopefully it fed their families that evening.
What seemed an ideal camping idea at first (camp by the beach in glorious hot weather), turned into a very hot and sticky night where temperatures can't have dropped below 35 degrees! Still, a beautiful spot in cooler weather, I'm sure of it.
The following day we set out on a dhow cruise, hosted by Musandam Sea Adventure. We had a dhow to ourselves after a few other tourists didn't turn up for the day – so we had the run of the boat during dolphin watching and snorkelling around Telegraph Island amongst the Omani fjords.
After the cruise, we headed back into the mountains to find a higher, cooler camping spot than the previous night! We found one marked in the Off-Road Explorer book on a grassy plateau at about 1400m. It was cool enough for jeans in the evening! Bliss – these are the camping temperatures I like!
Our final day was spent on the 8-hour trip back from Musandam, via the UAE and back down into Muscat. It was a long slog on the road, but a trip I wouldn't like to have bypassed in favour of flying – not a chance!

Tomorrow, this Nola Girl will feature another Nola Girl's, Amanda LeBlanc from The Style Network's The Amandas, success story. I will be chatting with Amanda this afternoon, and I can't wait to hear more about her career and her new hit tv show (and, of course, her experience working with Atlanta Housewife, Nene Leakes). And Lord knows I could use some organizational tips too!! You should see my closet right now... Clutter, clutter everywhere!
I must say, I am so inspired by young women who have followed their dreams and experienced success like Amanda. It is never by accident. It is always through hard work, determination, creativity, leadership, and vision. Sometimes on extra hard days, when I need a little boost, I see success stories like hers as a reminder that my professional dreams can come true too!
It wouldn't be Tuesday without a recipe. Here's one that I'm going to make this Friday to bring to work on Saturday. Easter is often lost on CPAs, so I thought I'd bring a little Easter cheer with me to the office. These birds nests are just too cute. And who could resist the combination of peanut butter and chocolate covered chow mein noodles?!?!
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (12 oz.) pkg. peanut butter chips
2 (5 oz.) cans chow mein noodles
3/4 c. peanuts
Chocolate Eggs
Melt chocolate and peanut butter chips in a heavy saucepan over low heat and quickly stir in noodles and peanuts to coat evenly. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Top with three eggs. Refrigerate. Makes 30.
Trying to get organized? What you like to learn from Amanda?

DANIEL GALLEGOS was born in 1972 in the U.S. state of California. He began doing graffiti at age thirteen. In high school, he was awarded honors in art and earned commissions for several murals. After graduation, he became actively involved in the graffiti art movement in the San Francisco Bay Area. He exhibited his work at various sites, including the Atelier Art Gallery, Richmond Art Center and San Jose Museum of Art. Daniel was also one of the co-editors of "A Hole in the Ozone," a San Francisco-based magazine on the subcultures of graffiti, hip-hop and punk-rock.
One of the foundational principles of Daniel's creative work is an emphasis on collaboration. Most recently, he worked on a joint project that combined art and anthropology, as part of an international collective "Artpologist." The project explored daily lives and working spaces of artists in the changing urban-scape of Almaty, Kazakhstan. The newest project that Daniel is working on as part of the Artpologist collective explores the notion of "peripheries" in three international locations: Kazakhstan, France and the United States.
Daniel draws inspiration from everyday minutae, mundane and routine objects that are often taken for granted. He finds beauty in a curb on a street, sees the poetics of tiling in a crumbling train station, and marvels at a house on the corner that you pass on the way to work. Daniel's recent exhibition at the Industrielle Gallery in Oakland explores details of apartment buildings. He also participated in an art project that combined food, art and politics at the "18 Reasons Gallery" in San Francisco.
Daniel lives and works in Oakland, California.

Not many people get to come to work and play dress up for a living. Many times we need a good photo to convey what a certain event should look like for publicity. Instead of doing a random google search, we at Liberty Hall become the models! We dig through our historical clothing wardrobe (so many choices, so little time!) to find outfits that best fit the scenario. A good chunk of the staff has clothing for the major time periods of Liberty Hall so taking pictures is super easy. What makes playing dress up so much fun is that we pretend to be the Kean's but really laugh at each other (plus it gets us out of doing real work for an hour).
Here are some of our favorite photos we have taken over the years for all types of events:

Description: Meteora, Linkin Park's second studio effort (not counting the 2002 remix album Reanimation), overflows with glossy production values and Big Rock oomph, fully embracing the pop instincts of their Hybrid Theory debut. For many, Theory sounded inexcusably corporate, from its too-timely rap-rock sound to the long list of product endorsements included in the sleeve notes. Meteora will only amplify those complaints, but this album is actually truer to the band's nature. It's still impossible not to hear strains of Limp Bizkit, Korn, Rage Against the Machine and the like. None of those acts, however, would try something as blatantly a ... (more)

Campaign Sponsorship
Nordic Naturals
"Our goal is to make a positive impact on the communities where we live and work, both now and for generations to come."
We're pleased to announce that Nordic Naturals is a Bronze Sponsor of our 100,000th Student Campaign. In honor of this, we've asked them to share their thoughts about their unique connection to OSO and our community. Here's what they had to say…
At Nordic Naturals, giving is in our DNA. In addition to seeking out global efforts, we look for ways to get involved in our local community. It gives us a chance to make a real difference in other people's lives, right where we live.
As a company that makes omega-3 fish oil, we know that our presence is felt in the oceans where we source our fish, and in the communities where we make and distribute our products. We see it as our responsibility to do right by the people and the places that are part of our success.
It's with this in mind that we've chosen to sponsor O'Neill Sea Odyssey's 100,000th Student Campaign. Healthy oceans are vital to everyone's survival. They produce the oxygen we breathe, the weather that sustains our waterways, and much of our food. The oceans are also the source of many of the essential nutrients we all need to stay healthy.
We pride ourselves on being a sustainable brand. We use only non-endangered, wild-caught fish, and we source exclusively from Friend of the Sea-certified, sustainable fisheries. We process all our fish oils in Norway, at our net-zero manufacturing facility powered entirely by biofuel. And, we bottle all our products in recyclable glass or #2 plastic containers, and use recycled materials in all our packaging.
Our goal is to make a positive impact on the communities where we live and work, both now and for generations to come. O'Neill Sea Odyssey's hands-on approach to education about the protection and preservation of our living sea and communities helps us continue reaching toward that goal. Together, we can create positive ripple effects with our actions!
Thank you, Nordic Naturals!
From the bottom of our oceans, we are grateful for your support.

Hi there, this is James from www.enezine.com...
I have just started using Jotform, have to say it is awesome.
I was wondering when you upgrade and you get the 10gb of space, when that is full what happens? or will it revert back to 0gb every month? Or decrease when submissions are deleted?
Cheers in advance,
- allanftdAnswered on July 01, 2011 at 09:53 PM
Hi James,
Welcome to JotForm!
Once you reach the maximum number of submissions or file uploads for your account, your form will still be shown in your website. However, when a guest attempts to submit the form, the following message will be shown to your guest:
The submission will not be successful and will not be reflected in your JotForm account.
Deleting old submissions and file uploads will not re-enable your forms. You either have to upgrade your plan (to a Premium or Professional), or wait for the following month for the submissions counter to be reset.
I hope you find this information helpful. Let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you for using JotForm!
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on July 01, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Hi James,
A Premium subscription has the following limits - 1000 regular submissions, 1000 ssl submissions, 1000 payments and 10 GB maximum storage space. If any of these limits are reached within a single month, your form will be disabled and will not be allowed for use. It will only be re-enabled on the first day of the succeeding month, when the counters have been refreshed, provided that you pay your monthly dues and you keep your storage space below 10GB. If waiting is not an option, you can opt to upgrade to a Professional subscription which offers 1TB of maximum storage space.
Deleting submissions with huge files will bring down your consumed storage space but will not re-enable your forms once they are disabled. A good practice to keep is to delete submissions with big files regularly so that you keep your storage space below the limit of 10 GB.

Thanks guys... :) not expecting huge files as have limited... just wanted to know as most stories submitted should have a picture attached.

70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz Memorial Program: A Town Known As Auschwitz: The Life and Death of a Jewish Community
Jonestown | Website
This event occurred in the past.
The town of Oświęcim -- today in Poland -- has been called by different names, in different languages, at different times. Though it has a long and varied history, the town is known for one thing: Auschwitz. Yet for centuries prior to World War II, Jews and non-Jews lived side by side in Oświęcim and called it home. Join Shiri B. Sandler, U.S. Director the Auschwitz Jewish Center in Oświęcim, Poland, to gain insights into the history of the formerly Jewish town that has become known as the symbol of the Holocaust. Shiri Sandler runs the AJC's programming for American students, including Holocaust and ethics programming for US military students. Formerly Shiri was the Manager of International Programs at the Museum, where, in addition to being the liaison for the Auschwitz Jewish Center, she coordinated the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, a series of ethics programs for law, medical, business, seminary, and journalism students. Shiri received a Master's degree in Modern European History from Brown University and her bachelor's degree from Cornell University.

Expo 2019
The annual Undergraduate Research Exposition, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Advisory Committee, affords undergraduate researchers the opportunity to showcase research projects of their own design under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
Applicable activities include, but are not limited to, thesis projects, senior theses, honors projects, independent study projects, capstone projects and course-related projects, among others. Activities may be recently completed or on-going and may be collaborative or individual. All participants are recognized with an award certificate during the conference.
The next Undergraduate Research Exposition happens on April 30, 2019. The Expo will comprise two presentation venues: a Symposium for oral presentations and a Poster Presentation Fair. Come see the amazing work of our LU undergraduate research students!
The Advisory Committee will select symposium participants who reflect the most accomplished undergraduate research.
The symposium will consist of a concurrent session in which distinct disciplines are represented: Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Engineering. For research that is truly interdisciplinary and does not fit cleanly into one of these four categories, the researcher will be assigned to the area deemed most appropriate. Students invited to present will be allotted ten to fifteen minutes for presentation and three to five minutes to answer questions from the audience.
Poster Presentation
The Poster Fair is a presentation venue for all undergraduate students who have conducted research to demonstrate their findings to attendees. These presentations will be accessible for viewing throughout the entire day on April 30. Researchers will offer brief synopses of their work to attendees traversing the room.
Please click on the link below on "How to Make an Awesome Poster":
How to Get Involved
Students who have engaged in research* and who are interested in participating in the Symposium and/or the Poster Fair are requested to fill out an application form, accessible online, and submit by Monday, April 15, 2019. Selected undergraduates will be contacted upon acceptance and provided any additional information necessary to prepare adequately for this event.
*Please note: All current UR undergraduates may submit an application.
Finally, whether or not you are involved in undergraduate research, we invite you to attend the Expo and see some of the exciting things your fellow students are doing. See you in April!

Hyundai Breaks Cover over its Much-Awaited Mini Monster-Creta
- Compact SUV Car
- Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL)
- Hyundai's Creta is inspired from the existing ix25 launched in China last year
- Hyundai Creta will be offered in four variants, Base, S, SX and SX (O)
- The compact SUV takes its design inspiration from Hyundai's Fluidic 2.0 design philosophy
To cut it short
The Hyundai Creta is realistic, comfy, roomy and feature loaded, making it the right fit that most buyers look for in the SUV segment. To be made available in diesel and petrol, the diesel Creta will have an automatic variant whereas the petrol model will come with 6-speed manual gearbox.
While the interior of the Creta breathes exquisite features of a modern Hyundai – solid build quality, well executed design and a feature-packed cabin, the exterior features a front bumper which appears to be a vertically stacked unit.
At the rear, the South Korean automaker has given the Creta a vertically stacked design with each part appearing like a separate section. Other noteworthy features include speaker audio system, LED daytime running lamps, smart key with push button start, 6 airbags and electric folding wing mirrors. Overall, the mini monster looks stylishly appealing and we reckon that the driving experience is going to be stupendous!

So am I having a bit of a mid life crisis? I have just rejoined (as second claim only) my first ever running club (New Marske Harriers) to compete for them in the Northern Track League. This Saturday I will race over 5000m on the track for the first time since...erm quite a long time ago!
I used to really enjoy track races over 5000m and regularly ran them in the Northern League whilst running for CEPAC (Chester and Ellesmere Port AC). Whilst I will probably never get close to the sort of times I did over in the North West (15.26 remains my 5000m track pb) I do hope to get close to or under 16:30 for the 5k during the course of the remainder of the season. I am also going to look out for a 3000m race or two as well. I am hoping this will unlock some of the old leg speed that seems to have deserted me in the last few years....I guess this probably reflects my ambitions this year being pushed towards the shorter distances and away from the Marathon distance for this year.
So life begins at 40....no dreams of a sports car or aiming to learn to play the saxophone or something random I'm heading back to the track to chase some long lost fast twitch fibres! Dont expect me to be tempted into the long jump, javelin or the 200m even if the team needs the points!

text: Alfred Dunholm 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 Rather than simply prayers or role-played devotions i thought on this Holy day i'd simply try and explain the signifiance of the man whom we are remembering and I hope that it will be of interest. Saint Dominic, otherwise and perhaps more accurately known as Dominic of Osma, was a 12th century born in Castile which is now a part of Spain. He lived through an extraordinary period and, though fate repeatedly conspired against him, he emerged from it as a shining model of everything that a Christian should be. He is best known as the founder of the Dominican Order, a Brotherhood of monks defined by their simple lives of devotion, and what follows is a list of thoughts on the man and on the world on this St Dominic's Day. In his formative years Castile went through a great famine and in the face of such horror, and to the shock of the others in the upper-class circles in which he resided, Dominic sold nearly all his world goods to the alleviate the suffering of the poor. Such action is clearly encouraged by the Bible, notably in the famous sequence in the Gospel of St Matthew "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me", but at this stage of history many rich individuals glossed over these verses or eased their conscience with pitiful acts of charity. It was not so for Dominic, and the devotion he showed then during his early years would come to define his life. In the course of his work for the church Dominic travelled from Spain to Denmark via France and Germany, and while in the South of France he encountered a group of people referred to as the Cathars. These people lived as Christians but they were not a part of the Roman Catholic Church; they ordained women, lived in relative poverty, had slightly looser morality than Catholics in terms of sexuality but they were Christians nonetheless. But in addition to this the Cathars believed that it was possible to be Christian without the need for organised churches, and it was this belief that bought them to the attention of the Pope Innocent III who launched the Albigensian Crusades to wipe the Cathars out and thus preserve the position of the Church. Encountering some of the Pope's representatives Dominic rebuked them, declaring that if the Cathars were indeed heretics then they could surely be persuaded back to the Church, he articulated this in perhaps his most remembered quote "Zeal must be met by zeal, humility by humility, false sanctity by real sanctity, preaching falsehood by preaching truth" Though the Cathars could not be saved from the vengeance of the ironically named Pope, Dominic was nevertheless further shaped in his spiritual beliefs by these experiences. Later in life, and most famously, Dominic of Osma formed the Dominican Brotherhood and lived his days devoid of earthly comforts so as to become closer to God. This order survives to this day and still thousands are inspired by Dominic's example to give up their riches and seek a life of prayer without the distractions and temptations posed by material goods. The applications of this story to our lives are very real and very obvious; the lessons that we shouldn't cling too hard to world items are clear and evident to us all. But Dominic also had something to teach us about religious tolerance in our world. Even with recent events in Norway, numerous terrorist attacks and countless minor acts of intolerance and violence that never make the headlines, we can still learn something from Dominic; a monk who died in 1221. If a religion is the one truth, and surely such a belief is the very foundation of faith, then no darkness is too deep or too great to overcome it. The words I have tattooed onto my arm are true; "Truth conquers all". Amen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met my goal of reading 25 books in 2012. However, I'm not sure I loved any of the books I read. And some were just bad. There wasn't an Unbroken or Forgotten Garden in the bunch (though I did read The Distant Hours, which was lovely, just not Garden amazing.) But, I usually write a Best Books list each year (a little behind, yes), so here would be my top 5. As always, the top 5 I read, not the top 5 that were published.
The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: I've really enjoyed all of the books I've read by Alexandra Robbins, and this was no exception. In the age where we talk about bullying way more than I'd like, this was an extremely interesting look at popularity and fringe groups in high school. She profiles real students who share (hopefully) their real feelings about the inner workings of high school. The outcomes were so fascinating, and the idea that teachers and administrators may need to shoulder some of the blame (because they tend to treat popular kids more favorably/differently than those who look/act a little different) was quite eye-opening.
Gone Girl: The most controversial book club book of the year, perhaps? We didn't even read this for book club, but nearly everyone I know (in person or on Twitter) read it, so it felt like one big book club last summer. The book is disturbing and twisted and the characters are so unlikeable. The ending could be considered unsatisfying (though I felt it was maybe the only way it could end?). However, I couldn't look away. And it kept me thinking. While the characters were hate-filled, I still wanted to know what would happen. To me that's the makings of a good book.
The Kitchen House: I was one of the few in my book club who enjoyed this pick. It's the story of masters and slaves, incest, depression—very uplifting topics! But, I fell in love with some of the characters and their struggles and their perseverance. It's a sad, sad tale, but also one that paints a picture we don't think about every day. I couldn't put it down and it made me cry, but yet feel hopeful. I liked it a lot.
The Tiger's Wife: This was a nice surprise. It made many top books lists in 2011, but oftentimes I don't agree with those (see Swamplandia). However, this tale, told in numerous times of history was just pure magic to me. It was vivid and picturesque. It moved a touch slow in some parts, but other parts (about the deathless man, for example) were so intriguing and beautiful. I was happy I read this one.
Lizz Free or Die: It may have something to do with the fact that Lizz Winstead grew up in Minnesota and also created The Daily Show (one of my favorites) and spouts political views right up my alley, but I enjoyed these essays immensely. She's hilarious, but also thoughtful. And learning about the behind-the-scenes workings of both a TV show and a radio show (Air America), as well as her struggles as a female in comedy, was really interesting.
So, think back, what were the best books you read in 2012? I'd love to add them to my list.
Hello! Happy new year! It's been a busy few months with sickness, holidays and crazy work schedules, but 2013 is here and I'm much overdue for a blog post. So, here are some things I'm loving this week (or loving lately).
Scrubs: My husband started streaming Scrubs and I've been watching intermittently along with him. We both watched this show when it originally aired, but it's been just as hilarious now (if not more) as it was then. It still feels relevant, it's just really silly (a type of humor we can appreciate), and a lot of fun to watch again. I remember how weird it was when it first started as one of the only comedies on television without a laugh track, and now that's the way I prefer it. I love a little something about every character and it's going to be sad to watch them go, once again. "I miss you so much it hurts sometimes."
Alias: Felicity was my rediscovery of 2012 and after I was done with that, I wondered if I should watch Alias. It came up on Netflix last fall and I started watching it and got hooked. I'm only in about a season and a half, and now will probably have to wait until maternity leave to finish up, but I enjoy the ass-kicking nature of Sydney Bristow. I also am appreciating Bradley Cooper in a way I never have; he's not playing a d-bag, who knew?! The only thing that's a bit annoying is the recap-like dialogue that happens sometimes, but I understand shows with complex storylines usually have to use this device.
The NFL and the Concussion Crisis: This is a two-year old article, but it came up in a Twitter conversation last week when the news of Junior Seau's brain tests came out. This article was fascinating (and noted several articles of a similar nature). It really puts in question the ethics of the sport. Do we know the extent of injuries endured? Does it matter, if the men playing are fully aware of the consequences? Is it barbaric? How does class fit in? And how do you feel about your children joining high-impact sports? Many of the women on Twitter were saying a flat-out NO to these sports, and said their husbands were in complete agreement. Is it worth the risk? (Why do we even have to think about these things? Parenthood is already hard enough.)
Robert Langdon: A Love Story: Following the news of Inferno and its spring release, Maureen Johnson tweeted this essay she wrote about Dan Brown's famous character back when The Lost Symbol came out. I thought it was hilarious, and even a sweet overture to the antihero, the geek in loafers, the scaredy-cat who wields nothing but a pen and a brain. Johnson writes how not only does Langdon give the impression that any nerd could save the world, but that the true bad guys are bad through puzzles that just need to be solved. And wouldn't that be a nice change from the way the world is today? I've read all the Langdon books, and while they're not great literature by any means, they're gripping, read-it-in-three-days stories that are a ton of fun. Looking forward to Inferno.
Threshold: This essay by a New Yorker cover artist was one of the better things I read after the Newtown tragedy. After chaperoning a field trip for his daughter's school, he writes, "Teaching was not, I concluded at one point, a profession in which I could survive for even one day." Teachers are to be appreciated, for sure. His wife is a teacher and reading her thoughts on the Newtown situation were interesting, too. He ends on an excellent point, having to do with the drastic underfunding and under appreciation of the places (and people who) we send our kids to every single day.
Mommy Shorts Resolution Review: Ilana follows up on her daughter Mazzy's 2012 "resolutions." It's a hilarious look back at many of things she hoped her daughter would do in 2012, and many of the things she didn't do at all. My child is about Mazzy's age, so I so appreciate Ilana's honesty when it comes to her toddler's complete resistance or indifference to things (like, "I haven't touched dinner since 2010." I hear you, Ilana.)
A few other awesome pieces on the web: Jason Good's Sequester Her!, Lady Edith and the advantage of untraditional beauty, and Take Better Pictures with your Phone (something I strive to do, but it's hard to learn how).
What do you love this week?

Memorizing Scripture is a way to carry God's Word with you wherever you go, keeping God-breathed instruction, reproof, and truth in your heart and mind each day.
As we read through the book of Esther, we will memorize the book's key verse in two parts. We'll begin with the first part of the verse—a reminder that God's sovereignty does not depend on us.
"If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father's family will be destroyed."
—Esther 4:14a
Write this passage down, keep it in your wallet, post it on your mirror or at your desk — anywhere you will see it often. Save the image below as a lock screen on your phone so you can read these words throughout the day.

Sen. Jim Inhofe: No "Holiday" Parade for Me
Republican Sen. Jim Infhofe of Oklahoma has vowed for the second straight year not to march in a Tulsa parade because organizers are calling it a "holiday" event as opposed to a "Christmas" one.
"Last year, the forces of political correctness removed the word 'Christmas' and replaced it with 'Holiday' instead," he said, according to the Tulsa World. "I am deeply saddened and disappointed by this change."
Inhofe, the former Tulsa mayor, is upset that the parade has been dubbed the "Holiday Parade of Lights," stating that he is "not going to ride in a Christmas parade that doesn't recognize Christmas." Conservatives have complained over the years about what they see as a "war on Christmas" that they suggest has meant the playing down of the Christian nature of the holiday season.
"I am hopeful that the good people of Tulsa and the city's leadership will demand a correction to this shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade's title," Infhofe said. "Until the parade is again named the Christmas Parade of Lights, I will not participate."
Inhofe has ridden a horse in the parade in years past.
The Tulsa World also got a quote from the city's mayor, Dewey Bartlett, who does plan to march.
"If it was up to me, I'd call it a Christmas parade, but I also understand that we have a diverse community, and I'm sensitive to the importance of the many cultures and traditions that make up our city," he said.
Organizers say the parade, which has been going for 70 years, has long required that entries be holiday - but not necessarily Christmas - themed. They also say the parade welcomes residents whether or not they celebrate Christmas.

In week 2 of BCM240, we discussed private versus public spaces, and how "moving pictures were initially a form of private viewing." The movie cinema. It never really occurred to me how private attending the movies actually was until this lecture, and what got me thinking was this question: "What is culturally specific in our values about public and private space?" Sound! or more appropriately, silence. The amount of volume in a particular area can somewhat determine whether the atmosphere is public or private. In a movie theater, it is common sense to be quiet when entering the cinema, and you are almost always asked to turn your phone off to avoid any disruptions. The darkness, comfort and silence while awaiting for the big screen is similar to the privacy of your bedroom while sleeping. Your bedroom is your private space, when you are asleep, the lights are off, the door is shut (well, mine always is), and your family members try to tip toe around your room so they don't wake you up.
In the UK, the Prince Charles Cinema has their own movie "ninjas." These ninjas are disguised in dark colored morphsuits and appear randomly to "…silence the loud takers, halt the never-ending texters, and generally improvate the movie going experience." – Kavner., L, Huffington Post, 2012.
So to answer the question from before, the volume of a particular place can be an aspect of public and private space, as well as being apart of our cultural values when it comes to the topic.

I saw your lady on the back of Featuring. With the lower shipping to the States - I was able to order it. Great magazine. Sorry to hear about your accident - I hope no one was hurt. I always love to see your paintings!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Gina. I was alone in my car and as I completly lost control of my car I think someone was watching over my. It means so much for me to have my Lady in the magazine, even if it is on the back :-)Delete
How exciting to be on that magazine! And she is my favorite of your ladies as she sits on my desk here in California!ReplyDelete
Love all your drawings, paintings, knitting too.
So so sorry about the car accident and do hope you are okay now!
Hugs from me!Replies
Hi Lynn and thank you. Im ok, but my car is not :( Hugs back to youDelete
It's okay she's on the back. I normally flip through a magazine seeing the back first!! It can also be seen as saving the best for last!ReplyDeleteReplies
:) you are right..Delete
Think positive! You may have had an accident but be thankful that nothing bad happened to you. Soon, things will go your way. By the way, congrats on being on the magazine!ReplyDelete
I thought your car was hit by another car! The damage looks the same as the one hit by a car. How come car bodies are this soft? But, it's good that you weren't hurt because of the accident. You should ask the person who lost the tire to pay for everything. It's his fault anyways.ReplyDelete
You really have a very busy January. You're lucky that you're not injured after the accident. I bet your car had great mechanics working on it to repair it as good as new. Well, I hope you can keep your car in a good condition so that the accident won't happen again. I think you don't want to end up being disabled after another accident, right? Keep safe! :)ReplyDelete

Red for the New Year
Franca Giuliani - I said last month that I would talk about the color Red for January … so here it is! With all the New Year festivities, the color Red has been used a lot. But, have we ever really thought about its meaning?
The Chinese associate Red with auspiciousness and good luck. (And, just to note: their New Year has not arrived until January 23, the start of the Lunar New Year.) Red sends a message of happiness, strength, and warmth. It's fire. It's fame. It's an honor to walk on the Red carpet. To celebrate, people will "paint the town Red."
As the color of blood, Red also represents the flow of life in our bodies. Red is a deep affirmation of life, and when we use it in a living space, we're making that statement. However, keep in mind it can be over-powering. Red can agitate and is often associated with danger. Red means "Stop." Brake lights are Red. Fire equipment is painted Red. If a business is in the "Red," it's losing money.
Nonetheless, Red ignites activity and intention. Play with a little Red this month, and see where you can add some of it into your personal space. Place a beautiful Red pillow on a chair. Can you cover a lamp or light bulb with a red mask to change the color of the light? And, as you do this, keep in mind your intentions for 2012. This will help you anchor them in your thoughts.
Here are some January observations for you, based on 9 Star Ki astrology:
- For the month of January, the center of your space is even more powerful.
- Especially for this month, make sure your center is clear and clutter- free.
- Also, spark things up in the center area to help with prosperity. Adding light to that area is ideal.
- Avoid any major renovations in the South East portion of your home and property.
That's it for now. Have a wonderful January!

My Pet Has Bad Breath, Now What?
Fluffy jumps up and gives you a kiss and you notice a smell. What is that terrible smell? You then realize it's her mouth! One of the first signs of periodontal (dental) disease that owners notice is a bad smell in the mouth. That awful rotting smell is the smell of bacteria slowly destroying the gums and bone in the mouth creating loose teeth and other dental problems. Advanced periodontal disease can lead to organ failure as well as the bacteria enters the body and travels to the heart, lungs, kidneys, etc. So you've smelled the smell, now what?
Step One: The oral exam
Once you smell that smell, make an appointment! It's time for a veterinarian to take a look and see how far progressed the dental disease is. As we discussed in the first article, periodontal disease is graded on scale of 1-4, 1 being the least destructive and 4 having irreparable damage. The veterinarian will evaluate the mouth as the best they can with the pet awake and determine how bad the disease is. If it is low grade, they may recommend some at home treatments or care you can do to help. With higher grade disease, it may be time to consider a cleaning under anesthesia.
Step Two Part A: At home care is recommended
Now that your veterinarian knows what is going, he or she can now better direct you on where to go from here. "The dental talk" can go in a few different directions. If you are not already practicing dental care at home, if the dental disease grade is low, it is time to consider brushing your pet's teeth. Always use pet safe toothpaste (no fluoride as it is poisonous to our animal friends) such as CET tooth paste is a great place to start. A finger toothbrush or small toothbrush is a great instrument but sometimes can be scary for pets if they have not seen one before. Start by placing a small amount of the toothpaste on your finger directly or on a gauze square and move your finger around their mouths to get them used to the idea of having something in there. If they tolerate that well, you can try a finger toothbrush or regular toothbrush next. Daily brushing is important to prevent dental disease from progressing any further and can help treat very minor issues that may be present. You can use brushing in conjunction with VOHC-approved dental products. A list of these products can be found online or simply ask a staff member at Westarbor for more information. We will discuss these products more in depth in another article.
Step Two Part B: A cleaning is recommended
If your veterinarian has found grade 2-4 dental disease, they may recommend a more extensive dental cleaning under anesthesia. We know this can be scary, no one wants their pet to go under anesthesia but sometimes it is an important part of their care. At Westarbor, we are careful to tailor anesthesia protocols to your pet because we know no two pets are the same. We also remain aware of any risks your pet may have (heart conditions, organ dysfunction, etc.) and make sure anesthesia is safe for them. We use sevo and isoflurane for our patients which are the same anesthetics used in human hospitals as well. We also use anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and opioids to keep your patient pain-free and safe. All of our technicians are licensed, which means they have gone to school to practice veterinary technology and have sat through board exams to receive their license. Dr. Clarkson is an accomplished referral dentistry veterinarian and will be with your pet every step of the way. We keep you informed throughout the process and make sure you, as the owner, are part of the decision making process. We will clean their teeth using the same instruments they do with humans as well as specialized tools to make sure those teeth are clean again. We also offer dental x-ray to help us determine how far the disease has progressed and how in-danger the teeth are because of it. They get a complete and comprehensive cleaning to make sure they receive the best care possible. In another article, we will go very in depth as to what goes on exactly in cleanings.
Step Three: Make a change!
Now that you know what is happening with your pet's teeth, it's time to make a lifestyle change! Even pets with chronic disease (grade 3-4 dental disease) benefit from having their teeth cared for at home. Once a cleaning has been performed, that is when at home care becomes the most important. Start brushing their teeth at least a few times a week if not daily. Consider switching to a dental diet such as Hill's Science Diet t/d if recommended. Follow your veterinarian's instructions on how often your pet should have a cleaning. If they do not make any specific recommendations, make sure they have their mouth checked at their annual or bi-annual exam. When you brush, pay attention to your pet's teeth. Are they developing more tartar build up? Are you noticing a lot of odor? Are there any lumps that shouldn't be there or an excessive amount of gum bleeding? Any of these things can be signs that problems are returning and your pet should be examined. You are the first line of defense to keep your pet's mouth healthy and happy. Be motivated and observant and keep those chompers happy!!
If you have any questions or think your pet would benefit from an oral exam, call us today! We would be happy to schedule an exam for your pet and see if there's anything lurking. Remember, you receive 10% your dental procedure, if one is recommended, for the month of February!

Do you leave a tip for to-go orders? Should you? Lafayette restaurants weigh inTagged with: #Business
March 24, 2018 2:00 pm
Do you tip? Sure. Do you have to? Maybe not.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Not everyone has time to sit down and eat at a restaurant. Maybe they just want to have a few moments to themselves with a meal already prepared.
Several local restaurants offer food to go, but what should people do about to-go tipping? Sure, you're getting the same food, but the service is a different experience.
A Florida server complained on social media about how she wasn't tipped on a 75-item order, which totaled about $700, last month. According to the Palm Treasure Post, she spent most of her shift preparing the order.
So what's the protocol for to-go orders? What do local restaurants expect?
For Arni's manager Connie Moorehouse, it depends on the situation.
"My personal take on it is you shouldn't have to tip for carry-out," Moorehouse said.
More: Don Pablo's, last location in Indiana, closes after decades in Lafayette
More: Is wine on tap Lafayette's newest trend?
But it depends on from whom you're ordering.
If you're ordering to-go from a server, absolutely you should tip them, Moorehouse said.
Servers make less than minimum wage — usually around $2.50 an hour, if not less — and they have to pay taxes on their tips, sometimes even if they don't get a tip.
"They say, 'Well, you should pay your employees more,'" Moorehouse said. "Well, if we pay our employees more, then they'll have to pay more for their food, more this and that."
Moorehouse said their servers pay 8 percent tax on every order they ring up.
But if you call Arni's and pick up a pizza, Moorehouse said, it's not mandatory nor is it expected that you tip that person ringing you up.
People who work the pick-up counter, she said, usually make at least minimum wage.
Staff members outside of servers don't rely on tips as part of their income. But that's not to say you can't tip them.
"If that person goes out of their way to do something for you … and you want to reward them in that way, I think that's great," Moorehouse said. "But just to say 'I automatically tip (on to-go order)' — nuh uh, no."
Some restaurants, usually chains, offer curbside service. Moorehouse said since they're bringing it out to you or if they deliver, then tipping is expected.
It's not a bad habit to tip based on your service, especially when you sit down to eat, but not everyone is a fan of tipping in general, she said.
The normal tipping amount has increased. She said a good-service tip is between 25 to 28 percent.
Sgt. Prestons manager Rich Micky said when they get to-go orders, only about 30 to 40 percent of those customers tip. And his staff doesn't really expect people to tip for to-go orders.
At Sgt. Prestons, the cooks and the servers may be the ones to box up your order, depending on how busy everyone is, Micky said.
For larger orders that may include a larger tip, it's split up between everyone who handles, he said.
But should people tip to-go orders?
"It's hard to say," he said.
How much to tip and for what?
But there's still a lot of confusion on the topic, including how much to tip, which services deserve one and how taxes come into play. Here are some suggestions:
What's standard?
In theory, anything goes with tipping. If you're satisfied with the service, you can leave as much as you want — or nothing if you feel shortchanged. But in reality, most of us look over our shoulders, wondering what the guy at the next table is paying.
According to a survey by CreditCards.com, which elicited more than 1,000 responses in June, four in five restaurant customers said they always leave a tip, at 18 percent on average. That's a median or midpoint amount, meaning half the respondents leave more than 18 percent and half, less. Somewhere between 15 percent and 20 percent appears to be the standard range.
Whether you should tip on the total bill or just the pre-tax amount is a debatable and unresolved point, though pre-tax seems more logical. It doesn't make sense that a waitress server in Louisiana should make almost 10% more than another in Oregon just because sales-tax differentials between the two states are roughly that wide.
Forms of payment
One interesting finding from the CreditCards.com study was that customers using credit or debit cards were significantly more likely to tip than people paying with cash. This reflects a tendency that researchers have noted for years — many people often don't view purchases made with plastic the same way they view cash transactions.
"When you pay with a card, your brain doesn't see it as real money, so it's not as painful," Michael McCall, a Michigan State University professor, told CreditCards.com.
But there also might be an anonymity factor at work here. If you don't want to leave a big tip, you can plunk down some currency or coins, then scramble for the exit without disclosing your name.
Which services are covered?
Americans commonly tip for certain types of assistance but not others. Some examples cited in the CreditCards.com survey: 67 percent of respondents said they always tip barbers/hair stylists, 29% always tip baristas at coffee shops and 27% always leave money for the housekeeping staff at hotels.
The Emily Post Institute offers various general suggestions, including 15 percent to 20 percent at sit-down restaurants, 10 percent for buffets and 10 percent to 15 percent for home food delivery ($2 to $5 for pizzas). Other suggestions: $2 to $5 a night for hotel maid staff (with a note marked for housekeeping), 15 percent to 20 percent for taxi drivers (plus $1 to $2 for bags carried), $2 to $5 when a valet returns your vehicle and 15 percent to 20 percent at hair salons.
Contributing to tip jars on counters isn't obligatory, according to the etiquette company.
The "Tipping: The latest on how much to tip and for what" portion of the story was published online at usatoday.com in July 2017 and was written by Russ Wiles, USA Today Network.

Belle Isle Lagoon
Oil on birch panel, 2010, 5"x 7"
Todays painting is of the lagoon on Belle Isle, an island park in the Detroit river. This view is across from the Detroit Yacht Club. I liked it because there was no real sign of people and I like to imagine scenes like this being from 200, or 300 years ago when just the Native Americans like the Ottawa, Huron or Wyandot tribes lived in the area. The park was actually filled to the gills with people barbequeing and cruising, enjoying their Sunday. Belle Isle was designed as a park by Frederick Law Olmstead the same designer of Central Park in NYC. Like all things in Detroit its seen some better days, but its still a great place to go grab some nature in the city.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- As furiously as scientist scurry to crack genetic codes, analysts are working to find out what's making Genome Therapeutics tick.
Over the past week or so, Genome Therapeutics GENE, -1.20% has released no news but has been the subject of two initiations and two downgrades. One of each actually came from the same analyst.
As of Thursday's close, Genome Therapeutics had seen its stock more than double to $14.58 since the May 15 close, the day before Jonathan Aschoff initiated coverage of the stock with an "accumulate" rating and a $10 price target.
In his initial note to clients, the Friedman Billings Ramsey analyst said he believes GENE stands a strong chance of receiving a high percentage of anticipated revenue given its balance of near-term, mid-term and long-term sources of revenue resulting from license fees from genomics alliances, subscription fees to its microbial genomics database, PathoGenome, and contract revenue from its GTC Sequencing Center.
But on Friday, he downgraded the stock to "market perform," citing the price rise and the fact that the company's fundamentals had not changed since the initiation.
"Although we like GENE's differentiating focus on anti-microbial drugs, especially its joint venture with ArQule Inc., irrational retail trading of 1.7 times the float since May 23 has inflated (the) share price," Aschoff now says.
And, he said, unlike peers Human Genome Sciences Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Myriad Genetics, GEN has no clinical pipeline and no lead drug candidate selected for clinical trials.
Aschoff wasn't the only analyst to cut his rating these last few days.
Prudential's Charles Duncan downgraded the stock to "hold" from "accumulate" on the 23rd citing the stock's "eyepopping" volatility that day "even for a genomics company."
So, what happened May 23? The stock popped $4 from $9.50 to $13.50 thanks to an initiation from Ladenburg Thalmann analyst Albert Rauch. See full story.
But it wasn't his "strong buy" recommendation that caught investors' attention -- it was the $84 12-month price target he placed on the shares, well above Aschoff's $10 and similar figures from others on the sell-side.
The target, Rauch said, is derived from an approach that uses a multiple of R&D (research and development) expenditures or the amount of money they are investing in genomic research. It is the same method he used to establish targets the better known genomics companies Human Genome HGSI Millennium MLNM and Myriad MYGN, +3.67%
Based on such a multiple, Rauch says drug companies are trading at 54 times their R&D expenditures and large cap biotechs at 65 times. And applying this valuation to Genome Therapeutics indicates that its R&D effort is substantially undervalued, according to Rauch.
"Genome Therapeutics is moving up the value chain by changing its focus from providing genomic services to using genomics for the discovery of new drug targets and drugs," said Rauch who called Human Genome a very good comparison as to the type of transition GENE is making.
GENE shares gave back some of their gains Friday, falling 98 cents, or 6.7 percent, to $13.60 after Aschoff's downgrade but remained substantially above where they stood when Rauch initiated coverage.
Still, he believes the stock is undervalued and would buy at this price, though he admitted the stock will be volatile until the story comes out.

Celebrate MFT August 09!
Well hello everyone! Thought I dropped off the face of the earth did ya? Nope. I went back to work after taking family leave for three months to take care of my husband after he broke his left ankle in three places. Nasty, really nasty if you ask me, and I work in a hospital too.
Ok, the 20th of every month is Celebrate MFT day. Last month, I was honored to be asked to participate in the first customer blog hop. This month, the group of MFT Junkies that were the "hoppers" did an awesome job with their projects and I totally applaud them.
For my project, I chose a set that needed some love, Owls For All Seasons. These little owls are so cute. I stamped them in memento black and then colored them with prismacolor markers. Now for the leaves, I used three different colors of memento ink (new sprout, bamboo leaves, pear tart) before cutting out the branch part of the way so it would hang over my ribbon a bit. I also wanted it to match a prior sketch challenge MFTSC94 that I needed to catch up on as well. Once my coloring was done, and my background stamping was done, I popped up the owls on All Night Media pop dots and added some primas and ribbon to finish everything off.
Easy peasy!

Hiromichi Tanaka revealed that Final Fantasy XIV was going to move into the beta phase soon – closing the current alpha phase and moving in more people to participate. Although Tanaka didn't go into specifics, like which platform, or if both versions, will be participating.
Tanaka said that both version are still on track for a 2010 release. He believes that Final Fantasy XIV will succeed because, unlike most modern MMOs, Final Fantasy MMOs don't have any influence from World of Warcraft. He says with Final Fantasy XIV they are shooting for a different audience.
Tanaka also went into more details about the trouble they have had with trying to work out something with Microsoft for a 360 version of Final Fantasy XIV. It's actually pretty similar to what someone in the comments said yesterday about the "no plans" comment.
Tanaka says that the Xbox Live network is "closed," and says it is "different to the normal internet environment, so when we wanted to introduce this game in the same environment as Windows PC it had to be PS3, so that was our choice. "
Square-Enix isn't giving up, but it doesn't seem the future is too bright. "Microsoft has a different point of view: they want to have a closed environment for Xbox Live. We're still talking to… We couldn't come to an agreement on Xbox Live."
Shame, but I've always enjoyed Square-Enix's philosophy where they want multiple consoles and countries to come together online. Unfortunately, sometimes it alienates entire platforms with more closed infrastructures.

Space seemed to ripple and boil as the silver-blue Lá an Dreoilín appeared, as if rising to the top of a foaming broth.
Legion Commander Milder looked at the planet below. It was beautiful, but that just made him feel sicker than he had been over the past two weeks. He turned to his second-in-command. "Report, Primus Moulder."
"It will take time to analyse. That planet seems almost to have too much life. There are, literally, billions of species."
"We are interested in just one. Is it there?"
"I can't tell you yet. I should have the answer in a few minutes."
The bridge door opened, and a magnificently robed figure stood at the entrance, gesturing for Milder to join him. Milder hated politicians, but Ambassador Festel had overall authority over the mission.
The door closed behind them, cutting them off from the bridge. "Is this it, Legion Commander?"
"Too early to say, Ambassador. We have only just arrived."
"Just so, Just so. I needn't remind you of the importance of this mission, need I?"
"This is the twentieth quest. All the others failed."
"And time is running out. You have half a day to complete your assignment. If this mission fails, Westel may be doomed beyond rescue."
"May I speak, frankly, Ambassador?"
"Your views are known, Legion Commander, which is why you were chosen. You believe this quest is ill-advised, despite the recommendations of the most learned of our world."
The bridge door slid open. It was Lancer Fose, the weapons' officer. "It's here, Legion Commander. We've found it."
Milder and the others gathered at the viewport, watching the pearl of a planet spin in front of them. Milder threw up.
"You have such a weak stomach for a warrior, Legion Commander."
"This is not war, Ambassador. This is genocide. Even that word loses all meaning."
"Nevertheless, you have your orders."
Milder gave the signal, and Fose's fingers danced on the control panel. The spaceship shook slightly, and a cluster of missiles sped silently towards the planet, their fiery wake looking like a violet and orange flower.
The missiles took positions at six points around the planet. Then their engines fired again, sending them deep into the planet's surface. After a few moments, the planet exploded. Rocks the size of moons hurtled through space. Milder, silently, hoped one would destroy his spaceship. To him, that would be some kind of justice.
When there was nothing more to see, the Ambassador turned and smiled at Milder. "See? That was simple, wasn't it? Now our planet will prosper."
"I still say it is all superstitions. A whole planet has been destroyed. All because your wise men said we should hunt the wren."
