Just Looking At This Maximalist Home Will Make You Feel Like You're On Vacation
Judy Aldridge's Dallas home is a beautiful hodgepodge of bygone eras and cultures. The interior designer has filled the space with antiques, upcycled pieces, and ancient art so that every time you look around there is a fabulous new detail waiting to be uncovered. Here are her top tips for crafting your own exotic, enriching sanctuary at home.
Your art is incredible! Is most of it from a certain area in the world?
No, not at all. I would say most of it is from the United States. I'm a big vintage art collector, and I buy art everywhere I go! I have loads of it in storage too.
What's your favorite place to thrift for furniture and accessories?
Genesis in Dallas—the best thrift store ever!
What are your top tips for upcycling old pieces?
Pass by furniture that is really poor quality because it just won't last. Find a good upholsterer in your area, and look for rich, dramatic fabrics. Also, always keep an eye out for old drapes at consignment or estate sales. They can make a simple room look so grand!
How do you decide what patterns to use in what rooms?
I will try anything once. It doesn't always work, but sometimes I surprise myself. My rule is definitely no rules.
Where do you go for design inspiration?
I have a literal library filled with hardcover coffee table design and art books. You can find me there every Sunday perusing for inspiration.
What's the oldest thing in your home? Newest?
I have a daybed from the mid-1700s. The newest might be some sheets I recently purchased—I'm not really big on new things.
What's the most sentimental thing hanging on your walls, and what's the story behind it?
A self-portrait my daughter painted when she was in the first grade. It's just a little pencil drawing, but I love it so much.
What noises can be heard in your home? What smells?
Chihuahuas barking and walking around on the floor. You can smell something cooking almost any day—garlic, onions, and maybe some curry!
How does your home promote self-care and support your health/ wellness?
I think in today's busy world, we often don't place enough importance on our own homes. My space nourishes my mind and it's my favorite place to be. Every home has the potential to be a sanctuary from the stress of our everyday lives.
Recreate the look.

Syrian Rebels Massacre Christian VillageWritten by James Heiser
While President Obama's administration weighs overt military aid to Syrian rebels, the true character of the revolution underway in that country is becoming horrifically clear.
Numerous press reports are providing details of a massacre perpetrated by the Free Syrian Army that annihilated the entire population of a Christian village.
As the New York Times reported last December, anti-American sentiment has grown among the rebel organizations even as the American government has played a key role in propping up the rebellion. A crucial step in that support was the administration's decision to give formal recognition to rebel organizations — a step just short of recognizing them as the legitimate government of Syria. But now, those rebels Obama has vehemently supported are now proving that in Syria — as in Egypt several years ago — the rebels may prove worse than the tyrants they struggle to overthrow.
According to the Assyrian International News Agency (AINA), forces of the Free Syrian Army massacred the village on May 27: "The armed rebels affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) raided the Christian-populated al-Duvair village in Reef (outskirts of) Homs near the border with Lebanon today and massacred all its civilian residents, including women and children. The Syrian army, however, intervened and killed tens of terrorists during heavy clashes which are still going on in al-Duvair village."
Although the United States had opposed the involvement of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in the rebel coalition, it did not express such reservations in December when Obama lavished his praise on the coalition.
As the New York Times reported at that time:
But Mr. Obama praised the opposition, known formally as the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, for what he said was its inclusiveness, its openness to various ethnic and religious groups, and its ties to local councils involved in the fighting against Mr. Assad's security forces.
"At this point we have a well-organized-enough coalition — opposition coalition that is representative — that we can recognize them as the legitimate representative of Syrian people," he said.…
The United States has played an active role behind the scenes in shaping the opposition, insisting that it be broadened and made more inclusive. But until Mr. Obama's announcement, the United States had held off on formally recognizing the opposition, asserting that it wanted to use the lure of recognition to encourage the rebel leaders to flesh out their political structure and fill important posts.Now Obama's inclusive opposition has allegedly slaughtered the entire population of al-Duvair, which is the type of crime that the U.S. president has previously purported was sufficient reason for the people of Syria to rise up and overthrow their government. And the massacre is hardly an isolated incident; for example, only several weeks ago, rebels attacked the St. Elijah Orthodoxy monastery. As Voice of Russia reported on May 12: "The militants ransacked the cloister, destroyed the sanctuary, blew up the belfry and tore down the statue of St. Prophet Elijah who is equally revered in Syria by both Christians and Muslims, Syria's SANA news agency reports, quoting the head of the monastery, hegumen Gadir Ibrahim. The hegumen believes the attack to be the work of foreign mercenaries."
Reports of foreign mercenaries are nothing new in the war against the Assad regime, and the "Syrian" character of the rebellion has been in doubt for some time.
As the Independent reported on December 20:
Fighters from as many as 29 countries have filtered into Syria to join a civil war that has split along sectarian lines, increasingly pitting the ruling Alawite community against the majority Sunni Muslims, UN human rights investigators said today.
The deepened sectarian divisions in Syria may diminish prospects for post-conflict reconciliation even if President Bashar al-Assad is toppled. And the influx of foreign fighters raises the risk of the war spilling into neighbouring countries.
"As battles between government forces and anti-government armed groups approach the end of their second year, the conflict has become overtly sectarian in nature," the investigators led by Brazilian expert Paulo Pinheiro said in an updated report.…
Most of the foreign fighters slipping into Syria to join rebel groups, or fight alongside them, are Sunnis from other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, the UN investigators found. "They come from all over, Europe and America, and especially the neighbouring countries," said Ms [Karen] Abuzayd.Even as the American government has expanded its involvement in the war in Syria, the radicalization of the rebel forces has continued. While Syrian rebels perpetrate their own atrocities, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was still insisting "We can identify who these people are. We can help the right people."
As Reuters reported on May 29:
U.S. Senator John McCain said on Wednesday, two days after meeting with rebels in Syria, that he is confident the United States can send weapons to fighters in Syria without the risk they will fall into the wrong hands.
"We can identify who these people are. We can help the right people," McCain said on CNN's program "Anderson Cooper 360." …
Critics of some lawmakers' push to arm the rebels have expressed concerns that weapons could end up in the hands of militants who might eventually end up using them against the United States or its allies.
But McCain said such radical fighters make up only a small part of the rebels forces.
For example, he said, Syria's Islamist al-Nusra Front, identified as an alias of al Qaeda in Iraq, accounts for only about 7,000 of the 100,000 fighters battling the government of Assad.
"Every single day, more and more extremists flow in.... "They're flowing in all the time, these extremists. But they still do not make up a sizeable portion," the Arizona senator said.
And as McCain's and Obama's purported "right people" are busy massacring Christians — and others — in an "overtly sectarian" war conducted by foreign mercenaries and religious fanatics, the latest phase in the "perpetual war for perpetual peace" has moved on to the phase where its proponents will soon, once again, be "shocked" by the actions of their allies.

But the amazon-tv will look somewhat nicer next to my TV than a bare arm board + hardrive + bunch of cables. But otoh, if someone actually did make a decent pico-itx case (for the inforce boards), that wouldn't be such an issue. ;-)
I get my fire-tv on Thurs.. so I really hope we manage to root it (although, I'm pretty sure amazon has done their best to make this a hard challenge). If rooted, it could make a nice replacement for my current xbmc setup. Once we get it rooted, we should be able to use the same userspace that we already use on various other snapdragon boards and devices (dragonboard, ifc641x, bStem, etc). XBMC already runs nicely with freedreno, and software decode should be fine for up to 720p (as long as thermal throttling doesn't kick in, which shouldn't be much of a problem from what I've seen in the fire-tv teardowns). Hopefully soon someone has some time to work on hw video decode.
Compared to a phone/tablet, it doesn't have the USB OTG connector brought out, so getting at fastboot may be, umm, interesting. I'm hopefully that we manage to figure out something, although no guarantees that it isn't a hardware hack. One of my friends already has his and is playing around with trying to solder up the debug UART connector on the pcb, and trying to figure out what that 16 pad connector behind the SoC is. (My guess is some sort of connector for a debug breakout board with JTAG, and maybe if I'm lucky USB OTG.)
Fwiw, interesting factoid: amazon's open src code drop for the fire tv (aka the-big-tarball) contains a modified grub 0.97 src tree... which initially had my hopes up, but at this point it seems to be built for x86. Maybe at one point amazon had two competing designs in development in parallel, one x86 based and on with the snapdragon.

DIY Puffy Paint Lanterns
Here is how I would make these beauties...
You will need:
-1 mason jar
-1 fine point marker
-puffy paint
Draw your design with a marker
trace with puffy paint
For a candle lit lantern:
-2 bendable wires (around 3 feet each)
-tea light
Fashion a handle out of the wire making a loop at each end.
Feed a second strand of wire through each loop and fasten it around the threads of the jar; twisting tightly multiple times.
For an electrical lantern:
-mason jar lid
-electrical chord with light bulb attachment.
You'll need to poke a hole through the lid and cut your electrical chord near the light bulb attachment. Pull the chord through the hole in the lid and then reattach the wires and wrap the new connection with electrical tape.
Pictures: Lit Decor
Or you can buy a lantern that is already made by Lit Decor Shop owner is: Vanessa Cline

Where do you find the colored jars? I'm looking everywhere!ReplyDeleteReplies
Try water paints on the inside. Make sure they're non flammable when dry.Delete
Love the henna like designs.... I would certainly smear this somehow while doing it. Great work.ReplyDelete

Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide Ltd was established in 2002, initially by Steve and Terri Irwin as a way to include and involve other caring people to support the protection of injured, threatened or endangered wildlife - from the individual animal to an entire species.
Terri Irwin remains involved as the patron of Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
As major sponsor, Australia Zoo, gives vital support to Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide Ltd.
Australia Zoo also covers all of the administration costs for Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors and provides other essential support where necessary. This means that 100% of all donations to the charity can be applied directly to where they are needed most, and make an immediate impact in the world of wildlife conservation.
In addition, the Zoo has provided Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors with offices, consulting staff for various projects, and the opportunity to promote the work of the charity to Zoo patrons for fundraising purposes.
Website: www.wildlifewarriors.org.au
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital 24-hour emergency hotline Phone: 1300 369 652
Steve Irwin Day, on November 15 2008, marked a milestone event in the history of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, with the much anticipated official opening of a ground-breaking new hospital facility like no other - the world's largest wildlife hospital and arguably Australia's "greenest" and best equipped wildlife treatment facility, nestled alongside Australia Zoo.
The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital is a major project of Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors. It was Steve Irwin's dream to build the world's largest wildlife hospital at Beerwah to honour his mother Lyn, and to provide a lifeline for nature's innocent victims - providing sick, injured and orphaned wildlife with leading-edge treatment and rehabilitation before eventual release back to the wild.
This new facility will greatly expand the surgical, rehabilitation, research and training capabilities of the Hospital, which now has the scope to treat approximately 10,000 patients annually.
As the major sponsor of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, Australia Zoo provided the land on which the Hospital was built and $1.2 million to assist with construction. Australia Zoo also provides ongoing financial support for the Hospital of $2 million annually fulfilling Steve's wish that all of the charity's administration costs be covered so that 100% of donations could be applied directly to saving Australian wildlife.
Our volunteers are an integral part of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital team. People decide to participate in our volunteer program for many different reasons, but the common element that draws our volunteers together is their love and passion for wildlife.
Many of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital volunteers have come to the hospital as part of their work experience programs for school or university, or to gain experience to help further their careers. Others decide to volunteer to find out what it's like to be a Wildlife Warrior, or simply to experience a different field of work to their own. Many volunteers come just for fun! Volunteering at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital is a rewarding experience. Volunteers get involved in enclosure cleaning, supplementary feeding of koalas, general maintenance, gardening and laundry duties.
In completing the volunteer program, there is no guarantee of employment at the end of your time. For the animals' safety there is minimal hands-on contact for the volunteers with the animals. The importance of keeping the animals in an environment which is stress-free and similar to their natural habitat is a priority. This means no unnecessary contact. If you would like more clarification on this issue please contact the Volunteer Coordinator before you apply.
It is preferable that volunteers nominate a regular day or days each week to come in, or commit to the minimum of a week's attendance. This is because we do follow a roster and will need confirmation ahead of time that you will be here. It will also help in placing new volunteers with experienced ones – and the more consistent you are, the more you'll learn!

I am considering switching careers to teaching adults at a community college or other higher ed institution, and I know that a master's is needed (I do have a PhD, but in an unrelated field). I have been thinking of doing an online MA TESOL from the New School in NYC while continuing to work. I know the job situation is not all that great, with many people being hired as adjuncts or lecturers without benefits, and I would be in my mid-50s when beginning to look for jobs. Does this plan make any sense? Or would it be better to stick with volunteering? Also if anyone knows anything about the New School's program, that would be useful too. Thank you! Back to top Xie LinJoined: 21 Oct 2011Posts: 731 Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:30 am Post subject: The New School's program is highly regarded. But as I recall, it will cost you a fairly sizable chunk of change. If you were younger, I'd say "Go for it." If you were older, I'd say, "Forget the MA. You'll never recover the cost." But you're right on the cusp, and the determining factor is really how strongly you want the career change. You don't sound impulsive or naive, and you do seem to be well-informed about the downside. I suspect you'll get a lot of advice telling you that it would be a mistake, but I'm rather fond of mid-50's career changes myself. .Last edited by Xie Lin on Sat Apr 04, 2015 11:18 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top spiral78Joined: 05 Apr 2004Posts: 11531Location: On a Short Leash Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:07 am Post subject: Second the quality of the programme at New School.

It may absolutely not be the direction you want to go in here career, but it may open windows. I'm not sure if that is included in the New School program, but would involve eventually a summer practicuum to get certified, and some state exams.

- A guest post by April Harris (fellow KY gal!) about finding your passion as well as your compassion. Sometimes we have to step outside of our comfort zone to become the people we were meant to be...
By: April Harris
It wasn't until I began working in a very small, rural area that I started picking up one-liners about life. You know, the ones like "That'll go over like a turd in a punch bowl," or "I'm hanging around like a hair on a biscuit." Needless to say, my vocabulary and the way I look at punch bowls and biscuits have definitely changed. Some of the more common and normal one-liners we all learned along our childhood were "always see the glass half-full, they're looking through rose-colored glasses, or patience is a virtue." The rose-colored glasses one always intrigued me, the utopia of seeing something at its best, all of the time. So let me ask, do you see the world through rose-colored glasses… do you see rainbows after storms, healing from disease, and flowers always in bloom? Or maybe you're more of a realistic, and see uncertainty about paying your bills, lack of confidence in your child's teacher, or struggling with the number when you step on a scale. But now take a step back and think, "Do you really even see the world we live in?"
I'll be honest and say I didn't. I turned the TV every time Feed the Children commercials came on even though it hurt my heart, and I cringed when I heard about stories from far off lands but they were just that, far off lands. During my Master's orientation at UK, I heard former students speak about an annual trip to Ecuador for a public health brigade and thought to myself, "Ugh, I'd never go to Ecuador. Where in the heck is Ecuador?" Then about a year later when I was mentally and physically exhausted from working full-time, going to school in Lexington part-time and living up the spoiled single girl life, I heard the trip to Ecuador could count for internship hours. Bingo, the selfish part of me thought, "Great, I can knock out some hours for my internship, go zip-lining, and maybe meet a hot medical school student along the way." I applied for the trip and low and behold I was accepted.
July 31, 2009 I arrived at the Lexington Airport not knowing a soul and very unsure about the next two weeks. I knew it would be hot, I knew I packed Valium for the 9 hour flight (over water, eek!) and I knew I probably wouldn't be feasting on the finest cuisine. Throughout the trip planning, I learned we would be working all over Ecuador, traveling every two or three days to new sites, and providing medical care and health education to the poor. I was prepared, I had practiced doing dental varnishing, I had all my vaccinations, I was ready to make new friends, I was ready to learn about life in Ecuador, I was prepared to give… give my time, energy, skills, smile for the next twelve days.
That two weeks in Ecuador changed my life, it changed the way I looked at the world I live in, WE live in. So here's what I did while I was there is a nutshell: I helped treat little kids with worms coming out of their legs. I slept on a mattress made of hay. I saw the same stream of water being utilized for drinking, for fishing, for bathing, and for washing laundry. I walked in a mall with snipers positioned at the entrance. I puked and crapped more during those two weeks than I thought was humanly possible, all because I brushed my teeth once from a faucet. I took two minute showers with freezing cold water. My sleep was interrupted every night by gun shots. I rode on one-lane roads with absolutely no pavement covered in dirt and holes. But disregard all that, because here is what the people of Ecuador did for me: I learned gratitude… think about a time when you did something nice for someone, and the look of thankfulness they gave to you. Now multiply that by a thousand and you can begin to imagine how genuinely appreciative they were. I have never felt so valued in my entire life. I will also never complain about another meal in my life. I learned courage… I once read "Life begins were your comfort zone ends." Every aspect of that trip challenged me, from going to another country not knowing a soul, to zip-lining through the Amazon rainforest, to getting into a cab not knowing great Spanish and asking for the nearest KFC. Since then, for the first time in my life, I truly feel I can do anything. I learned wealth… the fact that I have clean water, concrete floors, paved roads, safe schools and food at my fingertips makes me extremely wealthy. I'll never get discouraged at the amount on my paycheck every two weeks; I know that number I see is way more than most of the people we served will see for years.
Like I said, I was prepared to give. What I was not prepared for, was to receive. To receive a new way of thinking about the world. To receive a new appreciation for where I was born. To receive a new passion about giving to those that are truly less fortunate. To receive a new confidence in myself and the power of one person. I was not prepared for my entire view of myself, my work, my life to be transformed. Every day I am so much more thankful, aware, generous and happy because of those two weeks. So please, if you are in the habit of putting on your rose-colored glasses, tuck those away and put on your bifocals because you're missing out on a lot.
PLEASE do something. Do something for someone else. Go somewhere. Go somewhere outside of your comfort zone. Pray for someone. Pray for those who are willing to go and serve.
Hebrews 13:16 "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."

Putting this out there now to give everyone some time to think about it and make plans and suggestions. Since MAHHA is now too far for many in the north east, how about a hang of our own that weekend? Maybe at the 501, Pine Barrens or anywhere else you might suggest. Feedback and/or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Saturday. We had two friends come to spend a short vacation with us, including one who was to teach a self-defense class. Not halfway through the class, he broke his foot on the mat (audible snap)... and we spent the next 3 hours in the Emergency Room waiting it out to be x-rayed and wrapped. Fortunately, the rest of that day went by without mishap, though I did play Designated Driver for the Halloween party that lasted until 3am.
Sunday. I awake with a really bad case of the sniffles. I try 3-4 different kinds of medicine, antihistimines, etc to no avail. My nose was raw by the end of the day, and I have a nice gash across my chest where one of my cats--terrified still by the strangers in the house--freaked out and scratched me. Some good came of this day, however, as one of our guests made a fabulous dinner and Vortex managed to finally down Anub Heroic, after we altered our strategy and used bloodlust during P1.
Monday. I went to work, and ended the day with a mountain of tissues on my desk. My husband starts the sniffles, too. We went out for sushi with our guests, and that was good, and attended the martial art group's sparring practice to let our guests hang out with them some more--one cursing his broken foot that he couldn't participate--then went home to play Rockband. About 6 songs in, the TV mysteriously turns itself off and refuses to come back on, even though the other things (PS3, DVR, audio) on the socket are still working fine. We end the night with Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, though.
Tuesday. I awake around 5am and realize that if I don't force myself back to sleep immediately, I'm going to be revisiting the sushi. My husband is feeling the same way. Around 8am, I let my work know I need to have the day off, and fall back into a troubled sleep until around 1pm, when our guests need to get on the road and head home--a day early, but they have an interesting trip ahead given the driver has a broken foot and needs to see an orthopedic surgeon. We see them off, laughing about the ill fortune over their mini-vacation, standing in the drive way in our pajamas as they get the final load of their luggage into the car and drive off. My husband and I stumble back to the house to collapse back in bed... to find the door shut and locked. We were locked out of our house, sick, in pajamas, on a brisk November day. /sigh. 30 minutes and a locksmith bill later, and I'm curled up before my computer in a blanket, sipping tea, shivering off the chill, waiting to hear from the Geek Squad about the dead TV replacement, and wondering just what else could be heading our way?
Hopefully no one else is having quite the run of odd bad luck I seem to be! The only consolation I have is that the bad luck has--seemingly--remained here, rather than followed our friends down the road on their long drive home!

Just found your blog from WoW.com! I have an 80 mage, and just recently (yesterday) started a Druid. I've been reading up on them for about a month and planning. I was going to wait for Catacslym, but I got impatient and started last night. Very fun stuff!

That sounds about like the week I had last week! <3 I hope it gets better. Tip: Don't do what I did, walking around saying 'It can't get any worse.' because it always can. :P

Welcome to the druid world, Nevis :) I hope you enjoy your druid!
Aert-yep, I'm half worried that if I go to the raid tonight, I'm going to doom us to failure! Talk about paranoia. Hopefully your week has gotten better?

Just got finished paying a speeding ticket that I got for not actually speeding, in a zone that had I been doing the alleged speed, would not have been violating the posted speed anyways (Paid it so I wouldn't have to deal with it) only to receive a ticket for changing lanes without using a turn signal, when clearly, I and my two passengers SAW and HEARD me using the turn signal. Spent the day in court only to get to go back.
1/3 of my town has Swine Flu, aka H1N1, aka the "Don't be afraid of pork belly products, that's why we changed the name" flu, and I work in food service...
My Husky decided it needed to eat the cat's Catnip Mouse... WHOLE...
And then choke it back up later that night...
and ate the cord on the steam cleaner while it was plugged in...
...and ate no less than 3 foreign objects on the last trip outside...
Burned myself no less than 3 times yesterday at work.
Both I and the missus are fighting the flu.
Replaced two tires on my car, only to have a third one go bad the same day.
Found 5 dead birds laying next to our grocery store. I think there's something in the air.
I think it is a druid thing.

Well, we have had quite the run of bad luck, too, maybe it is a druid thing. But there has been good things among the bad, and I try to remember that.
The bad is sudden, unexpected unemployment, freaked-out cable box, furnace not coming on, garage door opener refusing to work, and dad-in-law had to have emergency quintuple bypass, thus cancelling their planned 50th anniversary trip with the entire family.
The good things are that furnace was really okay, cable box is better now after a visit from a technician, my parents next door neighbor runs an overhead door company and is helping us, and dad-in-law's condition was discovered BEFORE he had a heart attack and he is doing awesome.
So while there is bad, there is also good, you just have to keep your eyes open for it. I hope things upturn for you soon! Here, I hope that unemployment part changes real soon...

... How is it possible that you had almost the exact same weekend as the writer of a certain Shadow Priest blog?! <3
- November 3, 2009 at 7:36 PM
- Kae said...
Kayeri -- indeed, unemployment tends to compound things a whole lot more than otherwise!
I know things could be worse, which is why my husband and I were laughing about it rather than bemoaning the end of the world (just before getting locked out of the house). After all, as long as the main aspects of keeping alive are met: shelter, food/water, and no looming mortal medical threat, anyone can get by!
I wouldn't be surprised if 90% or more of the US has been afflicted by the flu at least once over the past few months, though. Ughhh.
- November 3, 2009 at 9:31 PM
oh wow! 4 days straight not good >.<, hopefully its all better now.
- November 4, 2009 at 6:57 AM
Sorry to hear about all the trouble Kae =(
I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Oh...and grats on Anub!!!

Wow thats such a streak of bad luck XD At least you can probably look back on it and say "Wow, that was an eventful weekend". Hopefully things are going better for you guys now!

Big Sky High School Opens New Health Sciences Academy [AUDIO]
There will be a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the Health Science Academy at Missoula's Big Sky High School on Tuesday morning.
MCPS Public Affairs Director Leslie Brasfield says about 95 freshmen students applied to be part of the inaugural class – in four years, the academy will serve about 400 students in grades 9-12.
The academy is supported by a hands-on, project-based biomedical STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum. As students progress through the academy, they will have opportunities to investigate health career pathways through work experiences and internships at Missoula's hospitals and health care clinics, research laboratories, veterinary facilities, and other locations.
The Health Science Academy at Big Sky High School is part of the District's 21st Century Initiative, which aims to provide programs that enhance student engagement, provide "authentic" real-world learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom, and expose students to a variety of career pathways.

In the business world, no matter what industry or field you are in, negative encounters are really possible to happen. The saddest part about these happenings or instances is that they are unforeseen, inevitable and could also be beyond the owner's control and the worst is that when those instances happen, you will never know it until it is too late and the damage has been done. This have been giving most of the growing companies less luck and confidence in running the operations of their business just to get and keep away from business breakdown or even shutdown. Businesses are treated a sole and separate entity to its owners. Since it is considered as a separate entity, chances are given to these companies and businesses through legal protection and that is by engaging into commercial insurance.
Commercial insurance is said and connoted to be the insurance intended for a certain business. Most companies have considered as an essential investment that should a certain company engage in and it is one of the most important things a business owner should do for his business. Commercial insurance is a medium of protection given to a certain business in cases of potential loss and decline due to unforeseen, inevitable and unfortunate state of affairs.
Technically, commercial insurance does provide a high level of valuable protection with the diligence of due care to their clients. It is applied for against theft, possible loss, injury, liabilities and even property damages and warranties. In instant cases, it can also be used for executive purposes and even employee injuries. Another thing is for certain instant business interruptions that might cause a big impact to the company. A business owner who does not engage his business into a commercial insurance is obviously and impractically putting his business and his fellow employees into greater risk and potential loss of money and even in a wake of inevitable events in the future. Sometimes, this requires an investment of the personal contributions of the business owner through his money and property and if it is not used well, these properties could be put at risk when adequate insurance are failed to comply.
It is not that hard to find the right and suitable commercial insurance package or offer for your company. You just have to find the agency that is a veteran to the kind of insurance that you need but you should keep yourself aware of those bogus and fake agents and insurance dealers to avoid waste of money and time. You can do internet searching, surveys and even using the word of mouth technique in finding the best insurance for your business.
Before applying to those insurance dealers, you should know first what types of insurance do you need. The common are offered for your properties, liabilities and workers. However, you have the option to lessen or add more some specialized coverage depending on the aid of need. Be practical and conscious enough, and always think that previous but complied losses can put you on a heightened risk and that would be harder to solve and rework.

Nik Wallenda's precipitous walk across a 2-inch-wide, 1,400-foot-long rope over a 1,500-foot-deep canyon was death-defyingly brave. No question.
It just wasn't technically over the Grand Canyon, contrary to what was boasted by the Discovery Channel and talked about by some news outlets, the Grand Canyon's official Twitter account informed us on Sunday.
"The event would not have been approved in Grand Canyon National Park," park spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge told Forbes on Sunday. "Events must not unreasonably impair the park's atmosphere of peace and tranquility or have an unacceptable impact on the experience of park visitors."
The 34-year-old Wallenda, a seventh-generation "flying Wallenda" daredevil, teetered his way across the 30-mph-wind-whipped Little Colorado Gorge in Little Colorado River Navajo Tribal Park, which lies in Navajo Nation land near Cameron, Ariz., says Forbes. The event, televised by Discovery Channel and NBC, brought the Navajo Nation the kind of attention its marketing budget can't afford.
Erin Whittaker, a U.S. Marine turned park ranger, says the Grand Canyon is way more massive, and national park staff wouldn't allow the tightrope stunt without more safety provisions.
Unlike Wallenda's high-wire walk across Niagara Falls last year, Sunday's breathtaking stunt (which took 22 minutes and 55 seconds to complete) was performed sans harness and safety net. Wallenda admits he was scared. The cable was dusty and the winds strong. Twice he had to kneel to steady his balance pole.
"Once it's time to go, it's time to go," he told CNN. "After that first step, there's no turning back."
Despite the lack of a harness, Wallenda says he could have survived by gripping the rope if he did end up slipping.

Milwaukee is one of the Midwest region's economic and cultural heavyweights and offers plenty of great locations for your engagement photography session.
Start off your engagement photo shoot at the Milwaukee Riverwalk, a two-mile long stretch of Milwaukee's best dining, shopping, and nightlife that winds around the Milwaukee River. Here, you and your fiancée can pose beside unique public sculptures created by some of the city's best artists. Your engagement photographer can take photos of you and your man leaning against the railing with the river as a backdrop or standing on any of the bridges overlooking the water. There are also countless little benches scattered throughout the Riverwalk that are perfect for seated photos. Finally, have your photographer capture some photos of you and your fiancée posing on the docks beside the water, surrounded by various colorful boats and water taxis.
Once you've finished at the river, take a short drive over to the city's famous Pier Wisconsin. In addition to being home of Milwaukee's renowned Discovery World museum, Pier Wisconsin contains a beautiful and expansive grassy area that will work well for some relaxed, candid photos of you and your man. Your engagement photographer can also capture an intimate portrait of you and your fiancée on the pier, itself, with the glimmering Milwaukee River serving as a backdrop. For the adventurous couple, the area around the pier offers a heap of rugged-looking stones right beside the water that will make a great spot for an outdoorsy portrait.
Finally, drive south a few miles to arrive at the Hoan Bridge, Milwaukee's most grandiose tied arch bridge. Take a stroll below the bridge as your engagement photographer goes to work, capturing the interesting geometries afforded by the bridge's unique shape. You and your fiancée can embrace for some gorgeous portraits, using either the Milwaukee River or the breathtaking city skyline as a background.
Besides being Wisconsin's leader in finance and manufacturing, Milwaukee is also home to some of the state's most gorgeous architecture. The following landmarks will provide stunning settings for your engagement photography session:
Begin your photo shoot at the magnificent Pabst Mansion. An exemplary display of Flemish Renaissance Revival style, the mansion was built in 1892 to serve as a home for one of the founders of the famous Pabst Brewing Company. Once you arrive, have your engagement photographer create a portrait of you and your fiancée frolicking on the lush green lawn in the foreground of the building. Then walk over to the entrance and take a seated photo on the mansion's front steps. The mansion's charming side chapel is also a great spot for a photo op, located to the right of the front balustrade. Finally, have your engagement photographer create a portrait of you and your fiancée beneath the elegant porte-cochere on the left side of the mansion.
Only a mile away from Pabst Mansion you'll find another of Milwaukee's most prized architectural gems – the St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. Built through the combined efforts Milwaukee's immigrant Polish population in the middle of the 19th century, the church is a must-see for tourists and Milwaukee locals, alike. You and your fiancée can pose along the front steps with the whole of the magnificent cathedral in the background. For a perfect engagement portrait, have your photographer take a photo of you and your man outside the front doors beneath the elegant arched entrance. Your photographer can also arrange a portrait of you and your fiancée at an angle such that the church's two towering spires create a breathtaking background.
You'll be amazed once you visit some of Milwaukee's most famous architectural treasures!
One of Milwaukee's most unique attractions, the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory is a perfect location to have your engagement photo shoot. The conservatory is composed of three large glass domes, each of which maintains a particular climate for the purpose of housing a distinct kind of plant life. The Show Dome offers a different kind of floral exhibit each season and the plant life vary in fall, winter, spring, and summer. Meanwhile, the Tropical Dome will provide a warm, island ambience to for your engagement photos. You'll be surrounded by blooming guava, banana, avocado, and even papaya plants, as well as an assortment of tropical birds. Finally, visit the Arid Dome to witness an array of exotic plant life from Africa and the island of Madagascar (including some of the world's most amazing cactus plants!) Once you've finished touring the domes, take a short excursion through Mitchell Park, itself, where you and your fiancée can relax in the grass, pose beneath the shade trees, or enjoy a view of the tranquil Mitchell Park Pond.
Don't miss out on a visit to this one-of-a-kind Milwaukee attraction!

Get DVD Talk Feeds
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, Dobie Gillis for short, was another such program. Though never a Top 20 sitcom, it was pleasant and funny, enjoyed a reasonably healthy four-season run on CBS from 1959-63, and was popular in reruns. Then it all but vanished until Shout! Factory's new DVD release of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis - The Complete Series, a 21-disc, 60-plus-hours set containing all 147 episodes and a handful of bonus features.
The series was rather like a teenager version of Leave It to Beaver, though without that show's sentiment and a bit broader in its humor. But, like Beaver and Wally Cleaver, Dobie Gillis (Dwayne Hickman) was thoroughly average and his hometown and its citizenry could be Anywhere, U.S.A.
The series primarily revolved around Dobie's efforts to win the hearts of various beautiful girls at his high school and, in seasons three and four, S. Peter Pryor Junior College. (Hickman was pushing thirty when the series ended.) Many nostalgic reviewers remember only Dobie's first love, Thalia Menninger (Tuesday Weld), but she was gone by the end of season one. Nevertheless, Weld made quite an impression: she epitomized the series' greatest strength, gently satirizing the fifties mindset. While Thalia liked Dobie on a personal level, he was a grocer's son with few prospects for making the oodles of money that, just dreaming about it, would send Thalia into an orgasmic swoon.
Weld, of course, went on to a major film career, as did another Dobie graduate, Warren Beatty, as snobby rich kid and rival Milton Armitage. But, like Weld, Beatty left for greener pastures early on (in Beatty's case, after just five episodes), his character replaced by the less dashing but much funnier Steve Franken as Milton's cousin, Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.
But Dobie Gillis's most memorable characters were Dobie's best friend, spacey beatnik Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver), and Zelda Gilroy (Shelia James), the indefatigable, brilliant, and practical plain Jane determined to snag Dobie for her husband.
Denver, of course, would go on to pop culture immortality on Gilligan's Island, but his hyped-up Stan Laurel-like characterization on that show (opposite Alan Hale's Oliver Hardy) can't compete with his loveably non sequitur, work-allergic bum, reportedly television's first beatnik. Naturally, Maynard is homogenized; he never talks about literature, art, religion or politics, never smokes a joint, and the character probably helped cement the negative stereotype for the Middle America television audience. But Denver makes Maynard not only palatable and funny but also even sweetly amusing.
James, meanwhile, was adorable as tiny (4'10") Zelda, who just knew that someday she'd marry Dobie and make a success out of him. That and Zelda's personification of the hard-working high school nerd, the underdog, was oddly inspiring for those of us lacking Thalia's or Milton's good looks. So popular was Zelda that actress James was signed to do a spin-off, of which supposedly four episodes were filmed before being abruptly cancelled when James was outed to network executives as a lesbian, a fact viewers watching the show today could pick up.
Oddly and certainly unintentionally, and despite Zelda's plainly declared love for Dobie, in retrospect it's hard not to look upon Zelda as TV's first lesbian, and unlike Maynard's beatnik, one can read into it an extremely positive, if closeted, portrayal. (Hanna-Barbera's later Saturday morning kids show, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, adapted the Dobie Gillis kids just as they had with The Honeymooners for The Flintstones. Many identify that series' Zelda character, Velma, also as a coded lesbian.)
The program had a terrific regular cast, including Frank Faylen and Florida Friebus as Dobie's parents with, among others, William Schallert as their most regular professor, oddly in both high school and college. Guest stars through the years included Ron Howard, Rose Marie, Sally Kellerman, Sherry Jackson, Bill Bixby, Michelle Lee, Yvonne Craig, and Richard Deacon.
Like all good straight men, Hickman knew how to react to the whirlwind of comedy around him and is so genially appealing as an actor one wonders why, not long after Dobie ended, he pretty much gave up acting to do other kinds of work. Because he had been a regular on Love That Bob the decision was made to dye Hickman's hair blonde, but as the first season progressed it turned almost white through repeated dying and his hair began to fall out. It went back to its natural dark brown for the rest of the series' run.
Video & Audio
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis was a two-camera series shot in 35mm. As such, the potential exists for the series to look as good as The Dick Van Dyke Show and Twilight Zone do on Blu-ray. But, being a marginal series in today's home video market, Shout! makes do with what appear to be existing masters. Still, the episodes I sampled were complete, running upwards of 25 minutes, some with their original sponsor's advertising over the end credits. There is a separate DVD case for each season, no doubt similar to the single-season sets already announced. The five single-sided DVDs (six counting the bonus disc in Season Four) are easy to navigate, and inside the DVD cases episode titles are helpfully listed. The mono audio, English only with no subtitle options (though closed-captioning is offered) is fine.
Extra Features
Lots of material here, all on a bonus disc at the end of Season Four. They include a 13-minute interview with star Dwayne Hickman, who though nearly 80 still looks great. The interview doesn't dig very deeply, but Hickman acknowledges the generosity of Bob Cummings, and whose mannerisms (along with Jack Benny's) he freely admits to imitating as Dobie Gillis.
Also included is the longer, slightly different original version of the series pilot; three episodes of Love That Bob featuring Hickman; an episode of The Stu Erwin Show (here called The Stu Erwins) also featuring Hickman; an unidentified, similarly undated sketch with Hickman spoofing Dobie Gillis, featuring Dinah Shore and George Burns. It was shot on tape, it's in color, and possibly excerpts The Dinah Shore Chevy Show. Finally, a PDF file includes "Scripts and Notes from the Max Shulman Vault" and is worth checking out.
Parting Thoughts
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis suffers from the same problem as most sitcoms from its era. Once it finds its voice all growth stops and the show falls back on same catch phrases (there are many here: "I gotta kill that boy!" "WORK?!" "You rang?" etc.) and familiar situations. But it's pleasant and funny and still holds up on many levels.* Highly Recommended.
* Dobie fan Sergei Hasenecz writes, "This was a show that fascinated me as a kid. Maynard was funny, of course, but what really drew me to the series was the low-key way it went about showing Dobie's world, as well as being funny. Especially fascinating was Dobie's breaking of the fourth wall to talk directly to the audience, usually with the statue of Rodin's The Thinker nearby. It was an excellent way of drawing you into Dobie's mind. There was a sincerity to Dobie's talks which I think is still unmatched by any other television series. I know The Burns and Allen Show did it, but that didn't work in the same way. George Burns did it for laughs. Dobie Gillis did it as a way of thinking out loud and explaining. At times it was almost confessional (if amusing). I'm surprised you didn't mention this."

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group protrude from the stony alpine plateau. Climbing here in the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites takes strong nerves – and strong material.
Our MERINO SHIELD TEC line was designed especially for such long, alpine routes. Just like in our PALA PANTS, we use EXTREMELY SCUFF-RESISTANT Cordura® in the new PALA JACKET. In the Martindale test used to test scuff resistance, the primary material was able to withstand over 50,000 abrasion cycles. In high-stress areas, we've used an EVEN MORE ROBUST MATERIAL MIX made of Cordura® (˃100,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test), to offer maximum protection from rugged rock faces. In addition, the MERINO SHIELD TEC line is made of polyamide and elastane on the outside and fine merino wool on the inside. This is a mix that guarantees HIGH BREATHABILITY and keeps up with each of your movements on the mountain thanks to the 4-WAY-STRETCH MATERIAL as well as the sleeve fit that is perfectly adapted for climbing.
The PALA JACKET for women has an athletic cut and allows for maximum freedom of movement and flexibility when climbing. The elastic hood, which fits under a climbing helmet, as well as the elastic cuffs and adjustable seam, make for a close, comfortable fit without slipping. It is therefore perfect for climbing.

Our Fayre's object is to raise funds for our local 14th century village church. We celebrated our twenty-fifth running of the event in 2016, the Fair in 2017 will be on the weekend of 8th/9th July with the main event being on Sunday 9th. We enjoy attendance numbers of around two thousand visitors, we have a policy of not charging an entry fee for school age and younger children. The Fayre comprises a large Marquee with stalls, catering and bar, in the Main Ring we have a dog show, entertainment features and children sports. The rest of the large field has a well established vehicle rally with cars, motorcycles, lorries, coaches, commercial vehicles and tractors, the rally brings a lot of visitors in on it's own, the rally is run by our good friend Tom Sale. Also in the Fayre Field we have a Funfair, a Country Craft Village that is extremely popular, various outdoor stalls and a barbecue run by the Draycott Moor College.
Each year we like to have a display in the Main Ring that gives good entertainment value for our visitors, with an emphasis on local children being able to be involved, our philosophy being that if the children are being given good entertainment and are occupied, the rest of the family will be happy to stay at the Fayre, our visitors are happy to come along and be entertained and understand that we want to raise funds for the church. We run a bus around the local villagers, providing transport to and from the Fayre this is provided by the Potteries Omnibus Preservation Society (POPS).
We welcome stallholders wishing to have stalls at the Fayre and charge £10 for stalls and tables in the Marquee and on the field, phone or e-mail to book for this year's Fayre 01782 396190 or email@example.com.
Our hope is for a group interested in providing our main feature in the Main Ring, in the past we have been given good entertainment by a Viking re-enactment group and The Sealed Knot, English Civil War re-enactors, have also been to the Fayre, so if groups of a similar ethos are interested, please get in touch.
The Fayre is held at Highfield Farm, Uttoxeter Road. Draycott-in-the-Moors, Stoke-on-Trent. ST11 9AE, we are on the east side of Stoke-on-Trent not far off the A50, the main trunk road leading towards Derby.

Introducing The New German Botta Duo Green Edition
Botta Duo Green Edition WatchThe Duo 24 Green Edition watch by Germany´s Botta Design is the world's first dual one-hand watch featuring dual time zones. It shows both the local time and the time at one additional time zone, using just one hand in each case. The main hand is a 12 hour hand referencing the 12 hour markers, and the secondary hand is a 24 hour hand referencing the 24 hour ring.
Two relevant times can thus be checked easily at a glance. It has a very simple yet amazingly logical principle, the main scale on the outside of the watch shows you local time while the inside scale you can set to your time zone of choice. Simple and clever.

Skylar Conway got the Red Bulls off to an early start with a great individual effort in the box to score in the 8th minute, Jordan Bailon with the assist. Though they created plenty of chances, New York could not add another tally to the scoresheet in the first half. Headed into halftime up 1-0, no changes were made to coach Jeff Zaun's side. Continuing to create chances early in the second half, New York found a second breakthrough via the foot of John Murphy in the 63rd minute, assisted by Skylar Conway. As the pressure mounted, the Red Bulls were able to strike once more, this time John Murphy getting in on the assisting end, and Habtamu Darling with the finish in the 80th minute.

Collage + Assemblage
Course No. VAT 212-312-412 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Anthony Ingrisano
Collage and Assemblage are among the most radical innovations of the early 20th century and these forms remain relevant today as sources for innovation and experimentation. Each of these forms acknowledges the fracture of contemporary life and the ongoing need for new means of expression. This course will explore the relationship between collage and assemblage and various disciplines within the visual arts including Painting, Print, and Drawing. Students will learn to discern the significantly different effects and content of the wide range of strategies these approaches encompass. Through classroom discussion, lectures, readings, critiques and studio work students will explore the possibilities available through collage and assemblage. Emphasis will be given to the historical and contemporary studio practices associated with collage and assemblage. This course is open to all students from all majors. Students will be encouraged to apply their area of expertise to the studio work.

The Olympic closing ceremony featured a video segment that highlighted the top moments of the games. Not surprisingly, Neymar received a thunderous reaction.
The crowd at Maracana Stadium roared when the striker's image came on the screen. He kicked the Brazilians to gold one night earlier in the same arena _ the crowning achievement of the Olympics for the host nation.
The crowd also cheered loudly when other Brazilian athletes were displayed, including a winning sailing team, beach volleyball players and gold winner Rafaela Silva in judo. And they cheered for Usain Bolt as well.

Pity poor Shane Victorino. The Phillies outfielder/journeyman is being honored with his own figurine at a Phillies game on June 3, which has to be a thrill for any major league baseball player. (It was certainly a thrill for Mr. Celery!) Why Shane Victorino? Well, he's Hawaiian, and that makes him unique. We guess.
Therefore, the Phillies are giving out a figurine of Victorino dressed in a hula skirt and carrying a ukulele. Even better, it comes with its own sticky paper on the bottom so you can put it on your dashboard, and watch a Philadelphia Phillie dance and shake every time you hit one of those patented Philadelphia potholes.
So that's the rub, Shane: You have your own figurine, but you're wearing a skirt. We think it's probably still worth it.

Exit poll interviews with Republican voters in Tuesday's Alabama and Mississippi primaries found that Mitt Romney's positions on the issues weren't conservative enough for most voters in both states.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
NBC News declared Rick Santorum as the projected winner of both the Alabama and Mississippi primaries. Romney was running third in both states, behind Newt Gingrich.
Yet a plurality of Tuesday's voters also picked Romney as the candidate most likely to defeat President Obama in November.After Miss. and Ala., the GOP race goes on
By large majorities in both states, voters said the economy – not abortion, illegal immigration, or the federal deficit — was the issue that mattered most in deciding how they voted – and Romney did better among such voters than his rivals Santorum and Gingrich, but not enough to score a victory in Alabama or Mississippi. (Rep. Ron Paul was a minimal factor in both states.)
Santorum continued to enjoy strong support from social conservative voters — but he also continued to lose many of those voters to Gingrich.
Take for example, anti-abortion voters, who accounted for about seven out of every ten voters in each state. The antiabortion voters in Alabama preferred Santorum: he won 42 percent of them, to Romney's 21 percent and Gingrich's 30 percent. In Mississippi 36 percent of the antiabortion voters chose Santorum, while 31 percent chose Romney and 28 percent went for Gingrich.
Exit poll data from South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee showed that Romney, a Mormon, was only to draw between a fifth and a quarter of the evangelical Christian voters in those contests. But among white evangelical Christians in Mississippi Romney did better, winning 31 percent, while Santourm won 35 percent. In Alabama, evangelical Christians preferred Santorum: he won 35 percent of them, with Romney picking up 27 percent and Gingrich 32 percent.Obama voter confidence hits plateau
How much did it matter to voters on Tuesday that a candidate shared or didn't share their religious beliefs? In both states, about three out of four voters said shared religious beliefs mattered a great deal or somewhat. The exit poll found contrasts in views: in Alabama, 40 percent of such voters chose Santorum, while in Mississippi a plurality of those voters – 34 percent – chose him and 32 percent supported Romney.
Even in these two socially conservative states, there were some Republican voters who were willing to identify themselves to exit poll interviewers as "moderates," or say they thought abortion should be legal. Among self-identified moderates – who were nearly one out of four voters in Alabama — Romney was the winner with 41 percent. In Mississippi, where moderates were about two out of ten voters, Romney won the moderate vote with 46 percent.
In each state, roughly one in four voters said abortion should be legal: Romney won 36 percent of them in Alabama and 39 percent of them in Mississippi.
Putting social issues aside, Romney showed strength among voters in both states who picked the economy as the most important issue, Romney was the leader with 35 percent.
Romney was by far the strongest candidate among voters who might be called pragmatists: those who said defeating Obama is the candidate quality that mattered more than moral character, prior experience in business or government, or ideological conservatism.NBC News GOP delegate count
Although Romney has had trouble appealing to lower-income voters in other primary states, in Mississippi he won nearly the same percentage of voters with annual family incomes of under $50,000 – 30 percent — and of those with annual incomes over $50,000, 33 percent.
In Alabama there was a bit more of a gap: Romney won 26 percent of voters with incomes under $50,000 and 31 percent of voters with incomes over $50,000.
The twice-divorced Gingrich suffered from a significant gender gap: he won 27 percent of women voters in Mississippi, but won 32 percent of male voters; while in Alabama he ran 11 points worse among women (24 percent) than among men (35 percent).
In contrast, Romney ran better among women in Mississippi (getting 34 percent of their votes) than among men (getting 31 percent of male voters). Romney ran about even among male and female voters in Alabama but Santorum ran better among Alabama women (37 percent) than among men (30 percent).

Fresh off her big bucks donation to a Barbados hospital, Rihanna spread more holiday cheer in Los Angeles, taking in the Lakers game with Chris Brown today.
While the on-again/off-again duo has yet to confirm they're back in a relationship, they sure did look cozy when they were spotted coupled up courtside as they watched the Lakers take on the Knicks.
Rihanna donates $1.75 million to Barbados hospital in honor of her late grandma
U.S. & World
The duo was dressed in all black, with Brown sporting a blonde 'do.
Following news that Brown's ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran reportedly joined the R&B singer on tour in Paris a couple of weeks ago, Rihanna tweeted,"You give, you get, then you give it the f--k back," later writing,"Examine what you tolerate."
While there was no word on if her interestingly timed Tweet had anything to do with the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer's supposed reunion with Tran, it certainly looks like Rihanna and Brown are back on?

'Grey's Anatomy' Season Finale: How Do You Feel About The Major Death?
Warning: Stop reading if you haven't watched the eighth season finale of 'Grey's Anatomy!'
The May 17 season finale of Grey's Anatomy was painful to watch — and not only because of Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) high-pitched screams of terror that, eventually, only dogs could hear. The episode also featured the shocking death of a beloved character. So which doc joined George (T.R. Knight) in that big operating room in the sky?
The victim ended up being Lexie (Chyler Leigh), who met her untimely end after the team was involved in a plane crash. In arguably the most intense scene Grey's has delivered in quite some time, Mark (Eric Dane) tried desperately to pick up the wing of the plane that was crushing her.
"Tell Meredith that I love her, and that she was a good sister," she told him. And after Mark told her he loved her, she replied, "You don't have to say it just because I'm dying."
Cue the waterworks. Cue the pain. Cue the fan backlash.
How do you feel about Lexie's death? Do you think it was a necessary event that will trigger some much-needed changes on the show, or was it a huge mistake that will come back to bite Grey's in the butt? Watch Lexi's tragic final scene below, then drop a comment with your reactions!

George & Amal back after holiday
I wrote about this yesterday – click here for a refresher. George Clooney and his girlfriend Amal Alamuddin were photographed on safari in Tanzania. PEOPLE has the exclusive photos and held them until the couple had left their destination. It turns out however that George and Amal were also in Seychelles. Click here to see US Weekly's exclusive photo from there. Startraks is the agency that took that shot. They're the ones who just happened upon Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds at a bed&breakfast in a small town in Utah a couple of years ago, remember that? Well, sh-t, the paps see to hang out in the most remote locations and conveniently just when celebrities are around.
So, basically, George Clooney doesn't give a sh-t that Stacy Keibler is now married and pregnant. I mean, you can't do much better than Amal Alamuddin. Again, have you seen her profile? That's some serious game she's bringing. At this point, he should be asking himself how he can keep deserving her, and not the other way around.
Here they are last night leaving dinner in New York, fresh off holiday and, again, well timed for the release of that PEOPLE article yesterday, just in case you missed it:
George Clooney is in love again!

still Waiting for my dream, the ultimate life partner. the real light in my ugly dark loneliness
Still waiting for the smiley face to teach me the joy and the love to open my curtains on the beautiful nature…
a dream I waited for my whole last life ..my whole human life ..because simply now I'm a angel , that's what you have to be to meet angel from the legendary heavens .. describing it with words is not fair to her even If I was the humans best poet ….simply that is the reason . my imagination will never get that fare not for this shiny star in the small galaxy of humans…
That's what I thought of her my princess . the reason that I live for and the proof of my existence ….
The beautiful mermaid in the deep oceans … the white majestic pigeon in the wide skies …. The victim of my guilty conscience . this a confesses I have to make , a crimes I have to plea, a promises that I left and forget
I trusted her with my heart and soul . I spitted it all … "how much I miss you and how much I need you and …how vulnerable I am without you… exposed to all humanity . I convinced myself you are the one" … no need to worry , "put your bug down and stay"… this my home from now on , a pen and note that's my luggage and all what I need. Because I've been traveling a lot I forgot all those stuff.. got lost a lot of times , met a new humans . walked a lot .. slept few… spent all the nights asking the stars about her… maybe If I showed them what I wrote about you they'll remember the road to your heart… I didn't had a photo for you but I'll know when I see you
The days passed just like my old memories .. my history is gone . I erased it to be for you alone…
Until I bumped into you by the strange hand of my fate .. threw you in my way…you're beautiful as in my breams and nicer than I thought and brighter than I wrote and I was ….. speechless…. Forgot every thing in your deep eyes even my name !! but thrilled inside more devoted than ever . I became a poet! I learned to be struck and so more other words when she go away for a while…. A lot actually….
Hard for me to tell or to explain why I'm alone here tonight…. Why isn't she here … no one will ever know
I'm sure she won't tell anyone…. And I swore no one will know my pain . no one will hear my heart cry and see my eyes closed …no one will know her face the night I told her how much I love her … and the words she said!
I'm taking them to the grave with me … maybe one day you'll hear about the touring singer with his guitar … ask the village people about his shrine. they'll show you my songs written all over the walls in this little village…
They'll tell you how much he was happy … oddly … unlike all those people …and how he one night stopped talking for ever…. A vow they read in the little note buried with him…. Walk outside the village for minutes you will see it…. Big a majestic … that's not me … but those are my bones…read what's written on my grave … don't tell any one that it's written "" I'm not sorry that I met you""… because no one suppose to know ..
<< A pirate's note….. the end>>

This is Frontiers, a game designed and being developed by two men. Something that blows your mind when you see footage of the game in action.
Developers AAD Productions describe it like this:
FRONTIERS blends the feel of first-person RPG classics like Daggerfall with the relaxing tempo & simplicity of a point-and-click adventure. Discover ancient mysteries, live off the land and fight deadly creatures, all in a beautiful & massive open world.
An open-world RPG? With a relaxing tempo? Good Lord, it's like they asked me what I wanted from a video game and decided to go out and make it.
Frontiers will hopefully be out next year.

The work of Dennis Maher has ranged from a localized form of civic activism and material experimentation to a synthetic proposition for re-imagining the post-industrial environment through a variety of modes and media.
While operating with the multivalent lens of painter, sculptor, architect, and activist, Maher has endeavored to tap into architecture's deep history of visionary representation as social and cultural critique, and to transform the projective capacities of this legacy into a material agency that might reform post-industrial inhabitation. Recasting erasure as efflorescence, waste as vital resource, and dismantlement as catalyst for reassembly, Maher's ongoing Undone-Redone City project conjures a new urban core from assembled city fragments, illluminating a world on the brink of indefinite becoming.
Exhibitions by Maher have been presented at venues including Black and White Gallery and Project Space (Brooklyn, NY), the Pittsburgh Biennial, Pulse Miami, Galeria Antoni Pinyol (Reus, Spain), Superfront (Los Angeles, CA) The Carnegie (Covington, KY) and Burchfield Penney Art Center (Buffalo, NY). Maher has been selected as the 2012 Artist-In-Residence at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. Published writings by Maher include "Towards Un-building", in 306090 Sustain and Develop, "The Nightworks" in Unplanned.
