As you may or may not know, because you're awesome enough or not to be following me on Instagram, my newest and greatest passion is face and body painting.
It's exactly what my creative side needed in life: a way to do art and be creative and never make a single penny on it. Like, ever. I'll blog about that need of mine another time, just know that it's such a beautiful thing to me… working for hours to complete a work of art that minutes later will disappear from the face of the Earth, except in digital memory. Nothing to hold onto. Nothing to sell.
And while I'd say, "hey, isn't it awesome to have a hobby that involves naked women?" it's not like that at all. It's an escape. It's a meditation. It's incredibly poignant and liberating to have a beautiful naked person standing or sitting in front of me and for there to be nothing sexual about it at all. I wish everyone could experience it.
Anyway, that was all way too long an intro to say, "hey I'm into body painting now."
And body painting isn't even what this blog entry is about. This is about a moment that happened while pursuing my passion of body painting that made me know (with authority) just how old I actually am.
This happened last week. I hired a young woman named Belle to model for me so that I could practice something I had been wanting to try for a while. Painted-on clothing. This is how the final work turned out:
Not bad, for a first attempt. Especially if you cross your eyes just a tiny bit to make the polka dots look perfectly round.
Anyway, I hired Belle to come model nude for me. She answered an ad, and upon my inquiry she informed me that she was 19.
Obviously, I was going to be über careful, and so I instructed her to bring her driver's license so that I could verify her age.
I've never gotten to the point where I felt like 19 was that much younger than me. After all, it was only a few years ago that I was 19.
The day and time arrived that we agreed to paint, and the beautiful Belle arrived. First things first… "Show me your ID so that I don't end up in jail for 5-7 years."
Okay, that shouldn't have been in quotes since I never said that aloud, but I promise you my face said it. Just can't be too careful in this day and age.
She handed me her ID, and…
What the…
That can't be right.
I stood there holding her ID, shaking my head. No… No… Definitely no…
It said her date of birth was in the summer of… 1998.
I started doing the math, unable to reconcile the date.
Did I just hire a 12-year-old?
1998… 1998… 2017 minus 1998…
You see, I graduated high school in the spring of… 1998.
Belle was born… After I graduated high school.
I attempted the math anew. 19. She was 19. No, that couldn't be right. So I did the math again. 19. Nooooooo. I got out a calculator to be sure. This was my good name I was worried about, along with all the valid ethical reasons to boot.
It wasn't that I couldn't believe she was 19.
It was that I couldn't believe someone born since I became an adult is now an adult herself.
I've had many moments of feeling older. Many, many moments. But I've never actually felt old until I looked at Belle's driver's license. Yep. That was the horrible moment when I just knew. I can't keep pretending I'm still young because… I'm Not.
Thanks for listening to my mournful rant.
I'm going shopping for walkers and adult diapers this weekend if anyone wants to join me.

If you cannot find the answer to your question below, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
ULI reserves the right to edit submitted questions before posting them to the website. The Institute also reserves the right not to answer all questions and not to post redundant questions or remarks deemed inappropriate. Questions related to the competition brief will be posted on the competition portal.
Five of us in a graduate program in real estate studies want to form a team. Our undergraduate degrees are in three different real estate−oriented disciplines: planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. Does that qualify as a multidisciplinary team?
It depends. If you are all enrolled in a traditional degree program, such as an MBA or MArch, your undergraduate degrees would not be relevant and could not be considered in the formula for team formation. However, if your entire team is enrolled in a recognized multidisciplinary graduate degree program—and can provide evidence of its status as a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary program—you may use your undergraduate degrees in the formula for team formation. For more details, review How to Form a Team.
Our team is composed of one MBA candidate, three MArch candidates, and one candidate pursuing a joint-degree MArch and MUP. Does that qualify as a multidisciplinary team?
Yes. Students enrolled in joint- and dual-degree programs must choose which of the programs they are representing on the team. That decision is entirely up to the students and team members.
What are design disciplines?
For the purpose of this competition, design disciplines include architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. Other design-related programs will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Our university's graduate architecture and real estate programs are accredited by NAAB and AACSB, but our university's graduate landscape architecture program is not accredited by LAAB. Does that disqualify our team?
No. In the U.S. and Canada, only the university or college needs to be accredited by a nationally recognized U.S. or Canadian accrediting body. ULI will independently verify the authority of universities or colleges outside of the U.S. and Canada for any teams that reach the finalist stage.
Will ULI require certification that student members of a team are enrolled graduate students in relevant programs?
The only certification required is the signature of the head of the sponsoring program on the application form. When teams reach the finalist stage, ULI will independently verify the teams' eligibility.
I am a part-time student registered in a graduate program. Can I be part of a team?
Part-time graduate students may participate in the competition provided that they have completed one semester by the start of the competition, and if they will be a part-time student during the entire competition period of January to April 2020. There is an additional registration form in the registration portal for part-time students. The signature of the program director or faculty adviser is also required, even if this faculty member has already signed the "Statement of Sponsoring School/Department/Program Head" form for the entire team.
When the competition site is announced, may we visit the site?
Yes, but you may not contact the site owners or public agencies involved.
Under what circumstances will a team be allowed to continue after a team member or faculty or professional adviser resigns or is replaced?
ULI will respond favorably if the faculty adviser requests a waiver in writing and if the circumstances are exceptional and unavoidable.
Can a team replace a faculty adviser?
The program head who signed the team's application must request a waiver in writing and explain the circumstances, and name a new faculty adviser.
To what extent can other students, faculty, and professional advisers participate in the team's efforts?
Only in an advisory capacity. They may not draw or write anything that appears in the team's presentation at any stage of the competition.
Can a foreign national participate on a team?
Students who are citizens of any nation may participate on a team.
I am a fifth-year student in a five-year degree professional program. Am I eligible to form or join a team?
Yes. You must complete the B.Arch/BLA verification form, and submit it along with your team's application.
Can a faculty or professional adviser advise more than one student team?
Yes, as long as the teams are aware of the situation.
Can a graduate student be on more than one team?
May a secondary adviser be another faculty member rather than a developer or practicing professional?
Yes. However, to maintain the multidisciplinary spirit of the competition, the two faculty advisers must be from different disciplines.
Are members of previous winning teams eligible to participate in the current competition?
No, members of winning teams are not eligible to participate as competitors again. All participants from finalist teams from the two prior years of the competition are ineligible. Members of the jury, the competition advisers, all employees and officials of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), and the employees, associate interns, and immediate family members of any of the aforementioned parties are ineligible to compete.
Can a faculty adviser for the winning team of a previous competition serve as faculty adviser this year?
Yes. There is no restriction on the eligibility of faculty advisers from year to year.
I am graduating in June 2020, but my course work should be completed by February 2020. May I participate in the 2020 competition?
Only if you are fully enrolled in the semester during which the competition is conducted (i.e., the spring semester). "Fully enrolled" means that you are registered in a degree-granting graduate program and that you are a full-time student. If your program is structured as a work/study program leading to a graduate degree, you may participate. All other part-time students taking graduate courses do not qualify as participants in this competition.

Secret 3: 100% belief in yourself and your methods
Unwavering Belief
The next secret about Forex trading success is about developing an unwavering belief system. A belief that if you followed a particular process that you would succeed in the long run – no matter what. A belief in yourself to remain objective, trade reality and trade in a disciplined way.
Many (most) Forex traders trade in hope. They hope that the EA they bought will work, that the system they just learnt will work and they alert service will produce the results it should. The hope with no control.
Barry realized that, although the Forex market can appear random and inconsistent at times there are many things that he had full control over. Doing the things you can control as well as you can, can increase your chances of success tremendously.
Everything that Barry did and still does is to build an unwavering belief system. Ways of increasing his belief system are:-
Record keeping:
As mentioned previously Barry is very analytical and besides knowing why deals succeed and why they don't he know exactly what his success rate is, how much he makes per successful deals and how much he losses on unsuccessful deals. Forex every currency and every timeframe. This knowledge is a big boost to his belief system as he knows, for instance that his system produces 70% + winners and losers are part of trading.
He never gets discouraged by losers and sees them as learning experiences. Knowing his success record boost his belief in the bad times when he has just had 4 losers in a row. The last thing he would consider is to change or drop his trading system. His first thought is what am I missing – what is the market telling that I am not hearing. His belief remains strong at all times.
Secret 1 and 2:
Having a continuous improvement process in place which is done for every deal and every market phase for every currency and every timeframe improves his belief system all the time.
Focusing on only his system and relevant information that feeds his system makes sure that his belief system remains pure and is not feed by information that cause self-doubt or insecurity about the processes he uses.
In the next modules we will explore even more elements that build Barry's unwavering belief system.
Just to make something perfectly clear. Barry is not looking for a 100% success rate or a Holy Grail system. He is not expecting perfection in a trading system. He is realistic about the sometimes randomness of the Forex Market.
He is however pretty fanatical about the factors that he can control and strives for perfection in those areas. He does not like missing a bit of information or a market signal to exit and then making a loss because that is controllable.
Constant research:
An example of this is that during weekends Barry reviews charts of all currencies and all timeframes to find trades that he has missed. That forces him to back trade the market on a continuous basis to identify trading opportunities and important information impacting price action.
Total ownership and responsibility:
Barry has 100% ownership of his system, his trading actions and full responsibility for actions. In a funny way this boosts his belief system considerably. He can't say things like: This EA does not work or this course is a scam. He only has himself to look at when thing go wrong. You need a very strong belief system to trade that way.
He does not need a money back guarantee to succeed. He does not need other online trader's opinions or input. He does not need forums and chat rooms full of know-it-alls. He knows his own system inside out. Not having a safety net or someone to blame focuses the mind incredibly.
Too Much effort:
To many traders, Barry's process to boost his belief system seem overboard, excessive and boring. Because he has been doing this for years these processes do not take long anymore. In the early years he would spend over an hour to try to find why a transaction did not succeed. These days with his checklist he has that down to less than a minute in certain cases. Much of the processes are automated using software and other traders – more about that in the next module.
Before moving on to the next module you may want to consider:
- Do you have unwavering belief in yourself as a Forex trader? (Secrets 1 and 2 will help you develop that)
- Do you have unwavering belief in your trading system? (Secrets 1 and 2 will help you develop that)
- Are hoping that your belief will come from an external source or from within?
- Do you believe you can get strong by paying someone else to do your pushups?
- Do you believe you can buy belief with a lot of money ?

I love the fact that modern men are so willing to learn, cooperate and be better than men in past ages. I read this news and it was so heartwarming to know "The Discreet Yet Powerful Way Men Have Been Supporting Women on the Red Carpet"
Can you spot Tom Hanks' vintage lapel pin with the TimesUp mantra?
The TimesUp is a new move that emanated from the #MeToo saga which was a fallout of women calling out men who sexually harassed and assaulted them especially in workplaces.
It takes an empowered man to empower a woman, and this is part of why I strongly hold that empowering women without men is an exercise in futility.
Read how Pop Sugar is reporting it.
The past few months have prompted an important conversation about sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood. Since the launch of the Time's Up initiative on Jan. 1, celebrities have showed their support in different ways, from wearing black and swapping spouses for activists on the Golden Globes red carpet, to sporting pins at the SAG Awards and affixing white roses to their outfits at the Grammys. But that's not all.

Why should child restraint seats be used?
Texas law requires use of child restraint seats for infants and toddlers. Car accidents are the leading cause of death of children under the age of five. Most deaths and serious injuries could be prevented if infants and children are protected by safety seats whenever they travel. Adult lap and shoulder belts alone can be dangerous if the child is too small.
Does the child car seat meet required standards?
Yes, this seat is a convertible model, suitable for children from 5 pounds and 19 inches through 40 pounds and 43 inches. The seat meets all federal standards and has been approved by the FAA for use on most commercial and general aircraft.
Is a child car seat safer than just holding a child in your lap or in your arms?
Definitely. In a sudden stop or crash, momentum will cause a 20-pound baby to weigh 400 pounds or more. Studies have shown that an adult, even with a safety belt locked in place, cannot safely hold onto a child when this occurs. Further, if you were holding your child on your lap in a frontal crash, the child could be crushed between the car's dashboard and your own body.

September always feels like a new year for me. I love Fall the most of all seasons. I have been looking forward to this month in particular since I've had a painting timeout since Spring. I usually take a break over the summer but never for so long and with a doctors recommendation to rest my hand from overuse and the onset of arthritis. Sure, I'm old enough to get twinges but full on arthritis? No way! Yes way! My fingers are a little crooked and stiff but not as sore as they were so I'm glad I was good but wow, it was HARD.
I took up illustrating so I could continue being creative (and less grumpy) during my hiatus and fell in love with it all over again. I will definitely be continuing with that as it's the perfect outlet for my whimsical-side and so fun and rewarding to just create characters and stories. I read a wonderful quote the other day: 'If you know an adult artist, they are a child who has survived'. That's is what it feels like when I illustrate. Revisiting childhood - lighthearted, airy, free and a bit loopy. Anything goes.
September came and I was on it. I was ready to paint and had already prepped my cradle boards. I didn't start small either but, I did go slow. For me anyway. The first painting of my painting season: '3 Secrets', 4ft x 3ft. There is something powerful about painting large and the end result has impact and presence (is that redundant?) and after waiting so long, I wanted to paint something enormous but settled for medium-large and manageable.
I already have another composition in my head, a landscape but, I can never tell if something is going to happen as planned but it is what will be next. I think. I'm just so happy to be painting again. To be careful of hand-burnout, I have a timer now. Sigh. That is hard but it works. I stop, close up my paints, wash my brushes and do something else so that I will be able to paint tomorrow, and the next day and the day after that…
Happy September and I look forward to sharing a new year of work.
PS. There is a new Illustration page on my website! Visit HERE to have a look.


text: I was fortunate to be able to get out of the Twin Cities for a brief weekend trip for the third weekend in a row. It was great to spend another evening on a lake with friends, this time in central Wisconsin near the town of Stone Lake. While this weekend's trip was primarily for work with the ASMP-MSP board, we worked hard throughout the day Saturday to plan this year's local event schedule. With business finished, we had a great evening around a fire, and this morning I could leisurely make my way home. The route back to the Cities passes through a lot of small towns, and suddenly as I entered the town of Cumberland I began to notice chairs lining the road, ready for a parade. In the center of town a large banner hung across the road announcing the 81st Annual Rutabaga Festival. With no firm schedule, I found a parking spot on the far side of town, and walked back to explore. The heat and humidity was approaching unbearable levels, so many people set their chairs along the road to reserve their prime seating, but had disappeared indoors or under a tree to seek a little respite. And while there were a lot of empty chairs before the parade, by the start every one of those chairs was full.

As a memoir of life lived so far, Drifting in the Push is a real beauty. Well written with an underlying sense of humour, Dan Garrison's life is one that we can all relate to in one manner or another.
He meets his best buddies at an early age, when he commences school – he is quite sure his world as he has thus far known it, has gone completely mad! Bryan is the kid sitting next to him on the floor. Another kid comes up and sits down next to them, stating he doesn't feel too good. Only minutes later he vomits all over Dan.
A lifelong friendship is formed from this time on and is one that will lead the three friends into adventures yet to be discovered and lifestyles which were certainly not planned out as they each travel their own pathways.
Each of the chapters making up this journey is wrapped about an incident or two; all are incredibly enjoyable. At times you marvel, at others you also learn a lesson or two, as Dan drifts along, moving from one insight to another, all the while trying to finish his education. When he does he realise that perhaps journalism is not the right career pathway for him, and sets out to discover what is; a journey which was to see him embroiled in some incredibly beautiful, happy, terrifying and downright horrific experiences.
Along the way he finds another friend in Hank, his beloved dog, who also somehow manages to find himself in a number of scrapes, not always of his own making!
The final chapter sees Dan reflecting on his life, his plans or rather lack of planning; his conclusion was that in spite of everything, he had done all right. He was also to discover that there was more in store for him than he was ever to have considered, which would eventually find him far from the life he had built in Alaska!
Throughout the chapters, one thing comes apparent time and time again; that when you are down and out, at your lowest ebb, that if you hold the faith with yourself, keep exploring options and asking about, something always turns up. Then the choice is whether to 'drift in the push', and take advantage of what is offered.
There is nothing mundane about this work; it is full of variety, entertainment, warmth and humour. By the final page you will discover that you have made a new friend – that of Dan Garrison.
If Book one is anything to go by, Book two will be eagerly awaited!

G.R.L. is a multi-platinum selling girl group formed by Robin Antin. The group consists of members Lauren Bennett, Natasha Slayton and Jazzy Mejia. Past members included Simone Battle, Emmalyn Estrada, and Paula van Oppen.
They made their debut appearance on the Smurfs 2 soundtrack with "Vacation". They then joined Pitbull's on his internationally successful track "Wild Wild Love" which peaked in the top-40 in the United States, top-10 in the United Kingdom, and was certified platinum in Australia and Canada and by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their self-titled EP, G.R.L. reached international success going platinum in the U.K. and 4X platinum in Australia. Their single "Ugly Heart" gained international success and debuted ARIA Singles Chart at forty-one, before peaking in the top ten at number 2, becoming the group's most successful single to date, being certified 4× platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The song peaked at number ten on The Australian 2014 Year End charts, certifying platinum. The track reached a peak position of number 3 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart.
Tragically, in September of 2014, as the group was reaching new heights - they were halted by the death of one of their own, Simone Battle. In January 2015, the group released a single in honor of Battle titled "Lighthouse". Along with the single, the group announced a new campaign with Give an Hour called G.R.L. Gives an Hour, which was dedicated to raise awareness about mental health issues in America. G.R.L. Gives an Hour later became an associate campaign of Michelle Obama's Change Direction. "Lighthouse" gained international chart success. The Girls then went on to open for Meghan Trainor on the Australian leg of her 'That Bass Tour'.
The group disbanded shortly after, on June 2, 2015. The group officially reformed on August 5, 2016. when the addition of new member Jazzy Mejia was announced, officially making the group a trio.
"We are happy to announce that we are back! We have received so much love and support already from the fans of GRL and for that we are so grateful. GRL's journey thus far has had incredible highs and lows, we've definitely been through so much as a group and by no means has it been easy for us. After the heartbreaking loss of Simone, a beautiful soul gone far too soon, we are unsure about whether to continue but ultimately we know we can't give up on this, as we want to spread the message of strength and resilience no matter what obstacles come our way because this is what we love to do. We are so excited to introduce our amazing fans to our newest GRL sister, Jazzy Mejia. We are so honored to be able to offer her this special opportunity, as she has been a devoted fan of GRL since the beginning, and now will be living out her dreams of performing on stage as a REAL GRL! Besides her raw talent, she is kind hearted and willing to put in the work necessary to make GRL greater than ever. Last night's performance was a teaser of what is to come, but you can see us at our first big performance back with "Nickelodeon Slimefest" in Australia which we will be prepping and rehearsing for over the next month... We are so excited to be back and doing what we love – performing and making music! We cannot wait to be back on stage!"
In September 2016, G.R.L made their first TV appearance as a trio on The Morning Show in Australia where they then went on to headline Nickelodeon's SLIMEFEST in both Melbourne and Sydney. It was during this time the girls decided to surprise fans with their new single 'Kiss Myself'. The girls are now back in LA, in the studio and in the planning stages of a G.R.L world tour in 2017.

At The Medieval Shoppe, we are passionate about the quality and the authenticity of our historical attire. Since 2009 we have been supplying theatre groups, film production companies, advertising agencies, TV channel costume departments and re-enactors with our historic apparel. Our dresses are created with an attitude of respect and gratitude towards the historical source material: creating visually appropriate attire that artfully captures the look and spirit of their time period.
Our customers come first to us and we aim to foster experiences that are fun and enjoyable to all our clientele. Our goal is to help women find confidence in costume: this means that our female attire is tailored to the same quality standards as any regular shop-bought garment. Many "fancy dress" retailers market historically incorrect, whimsical attire that is made from low quality synthetic material. Such garments are so badly made that they are often fit to throw away after their first use. We provide women with quality historic costuming that not only compliments their figure, but also empowers them to feel confident in their new historic persona. Let us make you look fabulous.

There's nothing wrong with this item - it's actually very good. On a personal note, would have preferred something a bit more overtly "Viking" but this'll certainly do for now. Lucy Wilkinson on 28th Mar 2019

Via Tri-Cities.com:
"Attorneys from three states filed a class action lawsuit today against Erwin's Nuclear Fuel Services.
Law firms from Greeneville, New York and Rhode Island claim emissions from NFS are to blame for high rates of cancer.
Attorneys are fighting for their clients to get compensation for personal injury and property damage.
"No one wants to face the truth here and the truth is, I have highly enriched uranium on my property and I am 21 river miles downstream," says Park Overall who's one of the main advocates of the lawsuit against Nuclear Fuel Services. "I began to hear about all this cancer here, and we started to look into it. These chemicals and radioactive isotopes are related to particular cancers that we have too much of in the area."
Overall says Monday's filing of the class action lawsuit is the biggest step so far for the Erwin Citizens Awareness Network (ECAN). ECAN is a group that's researched NFS's emissions dating back to 1954.
"The paperwork tells the true story, the lack of public regard for health and safety," explains Overall. "How much was spilled. how much went in the air."
Attorney John Rogers is with the Greeneville firm who agreed to take on this case, and Monday he filed the 40 page suit with the Federal Courthouse in Greeneville.
"[We} filed in United States District Court seeking compensatory and punitive damages for those personal injuries and also property damages."
He says there's proof that NFS's chemicals have caused harm to it's neighbors.
"You don't have to go very far away from the nuclear facility itself to run smack dab into the pattern of significant cancers that greatly exceed the national average," says Rogers. "There are about 20 cancers that science can trace to exposure to materials such as those being emitted into the environment." Those radioactive materials linked to cancer he says are like those manufactured at companies like NFS.
Right now, there are about 20 names on this class action law suit.
Once attorneys review more medical records and backgrounds, the number of people suing NFS has the potential to reach the hundreds.
NFS issued this statement on the lawsuit.

AUSTIN, Texas – (June 18, 2013) – Ascension Seton today announced it has received authorization from its parent company, Ascension Health, to construct a new teaching hospital to replace University Medical Center Brackenridge. You can see more photos from the news conference, held atop the UMC Brackenridge garage, by clicking here.
The facility will be owned and operated by Ascension Seton and will become the primary training facility for the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin. Construction of the new hospital is expected to begin in 2014, with completion slated for 2017.
Ascension Seton also announced that it selected the Dallas firm HKS, Inc. to be the lead architect for the project.
Ascension Seton will invest $245 million toward construction and spearhead efforts to raise another $50 million via philanthropy. Ascension Seton used a similar approach to fund the construction of Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas.
The new teaching hospital will be built on the north side of 15th Street, across from University Medical Center Brackenridge. The land, owned by UT Austin, will be leased to Central Health, Travis County's health care district, which in turn will sub-lease the land to Ascension Seton at fair market value.
"By passing Proposition 1 in November of last year, Travis County voters pledged their support for a higher standard of health care, expanded services and greater accessibility," said Jesús Garza, Ascension Seton president and chief executive officer. "Now, it is Ascension Seton's turn to show its support by building and paying for a new teaching hospital that we believe will rival any in the nation."
The teaching hospital also will be an integral part of the Community Care Collaborative, an agreement between Ascension Seton and Central Health that will fundamentally change the delivery of health care services in Central Texas.
"The new teaching hospital represents an important part of our community's safety net, but up until now UMC Brackenridge has been the principle safety net option for the poor and vulnerable," said Greg Hartman, Ascension Seton president of Academic Medicine, Research and External Affairs. "But that's about to change. Along with Central Health, UT Austin and the UT System, we will create an entire safety net system.
"The center of the system will be the new teaching hospital, but we won't have to rely on a single location. Demographics are constantly changing. Poor and vulnerable residents live throughout Central Texas, a shift since the era in which Brackenridge was built and expanded. The Community Care Collaborative safety net will ultimately include all Ascension Seton facilities so we can better serve the entire region," Hartman said.
Despite projections of continued population growth, the new teaching hospital will be roughly the same size as the current UMC Brackenridge.
"We feel confident that our transformed system will guide patients and families to the appropriate care, reducing unnecessary admissions to a hospital and trips to the emergency department," Hartman said.
Charles Barnett, executive board chair, Ascension Seton Board of Trustees, noted Ascension Seton's successes in bringing other state-of-the-art facilities to Central Texas.
"Ascension Seton has a track record for opening hospitals on time and within budget – each was a product of Ascension Seton investment and philanthropy," Barnett said. "What makes the new teaching hospital so exciting is the collaborative nature of the care that Ascension Seton, Central Health and UT will provide.
"The whole will be truly greater than the sum of the parts," Barnett said. "What we can do individually is impressive. What we can do as partners is transformational."

Each and every one of us, Jew and Gentile, is effected by the draw and reach of the stars. Much the way we're all subject to the same laws of nature and share a common physiognomy.
But just as the laws of nature can be overridden by miracles and wonders, the influence of the stars can be countermanded as well — when G-d wants it to be.
That explains the dictum that the Jewish People aren't beholden to the rule of the constellations (see Shabbat 156A). That doesn't mean to say that we're oblivious to or utterly above the laws of nature or the influence of the stars.
It's just that there are times when G-d's ultimate will — which we play a direct role in — surpasses the natural order of things. And those are the time when extraordinary things happen to us despite the planets and stars.
This series is dedicated to the memory of Yitzchak Hehrsh ben Daniel, and Sarah Rivka bas Yaakov Dovid.

So after reading all the reviews on Benefit's 'they're real' I was feeling a bit left out, as the one thing I have searched for since I started using mascara is a volumising one, that JUST volumises. Forget about the lengthening, I don't fancy looking like Mr Snuffleupagus thanks, and I already have people suggesting I have false lashes, so don't need to fuel the fire even more.
Lucky Lucky, this was in the Latest in Beauty box I ordered! I really love this size for a start, I posted recently how I hang on to sample pots of foundation so I can decant into them for travelling, and the gorgeous Nic (you can follow her here) pointed out that she does the same with sample sized mascaras, which I will now do too.
Onto the wand. I. LOVE. THIS. Nice short bristles and the bristled ball at the end so you can get those itty bitty lashes in the inner corners, and pump the volume up on the outer ones.
The best thing about this mascara? It doesn't make me look like a character from Sesame Street (well, maybe Miss Piggy at the moment, but that's nothing to do with the mascara). The placement of the bristles gives me amazing coverage with one sweep, and it does volumise! I'm guessing if I applied 2 or 3 coats, maybe I'd be able to tell you how to get to Sesame Street, but one is perfect! I'm going to go as far to say this is my new hero!!

Founders Brewing rarely misses with their beers, and they are pretty much flawless when it comes to brewing dark beers. So, when I first tried the Imperial Stout out of a 12 oz bottle in the fall of 2009, I thought to myself that this was as sure of a thing as the sun rising in the east, Jordan dunking, or Katy Perry exposing the top 15 percent of her breasts during a nationally televised awards show. Was I ever disappointed. Make that bitterly disappointed, as in the Imperial Stout was rather bland, chalky, oddly bitter, and grainy. It wasn't bad; it just did not live up to Founders' lofty expectations, especially considering their well-documented dark beer craft genius as expressed in their Porter, Kentucky Breakfast Stout, and the rare Canadian Breakfast Stout (and, as I found out recently, the Black Biscuit, a Baltic porter). So, when I saw the Imperial Stout listed at Local Option recently, needless to say I was not apt to run behind the bar and pour one for myself.
Yet, it turns out that I should have. Perhaps it was something wrong with the bottle I had purchased before but this time it tasted like a whole new beer to me. Of course it was black and did not offer a ton of carbonation but did have some cocoa colored foam on top. What's really jarringly different was the richness of the mouthfeel, the greater clarity of the dark chocolate and roasted flavors, the nuttiness, and the off-sweet finish. This is the kind of imperial stout I would expect out of Founders and it delivers the goods in spades. I had it since at the Long Room and my impressions were confirmed and my palate rewarded. Did they change the recipe or was it just the individual bottle I had, or was it the tap format that made it so different. We may never find out.
This is an outstanding beer to be sought out and enjoyed if stouts are your thing. If stouts are not your thing, seriously consider never viewing this web page again. I imagine that Budweiser has a lovely interactive Facebook page for those of your ilk.
4.6 of 5 stars.

UPDATE: Before we get to the story as-was, here's the actual first poster for the film:
Click on it to make it monstrously massive.
We can thank Cosmopolis Film for that. Now, back to the original report…
David Cronenberg is currently putting the finishing touches to Cosmopolis, his adaptation of the Don De Lillo novel. I think it's probably more fair to characterise the book as a thrilling satire than a satirical thriller, but there are definitely components of both.
Several eyebrows were raised when Cronenberg case Robert Pattinson in the lead role, but the director promises they'll be raised even further when we see the incredible performance he's turned in.
The first poster for the film has arrived online, and here it is, courtesy of IMPA:
UPDATE: Turns out that it's a piece of fan art. The IMPA were suckered, and I just followed suit.
Check out the rest of that cast list: Paul Giamatti, Samantha Morton, Sarah Gadon, Matthieu Amalric, Juliette Binoche and Jay Baruchel. Aside from a little bit of "What's a Sarah Gadon?" that's an incredible roster.
Don De Lillo's incredibly brief novel Point Omega is bookended with scenes set during an exhibition of 24 Hour Psycho, Douglas Gordon's art installation that slows Hitchcock's film down to a rate of two frames per second. Indeed, it was when De Lillo visited the installation a few times over, in fascination, that he hatched the idea for the novel.
And so it seems natural that if anybody is to make a film of Point Omega, it should be Douglas Gordon. According to The Observer, this will indeed be the case:
I hear the artist and film-maker Douglas Gordon is also making a film for the Olympics. He's been scouting locations on the Scottish border… after that he's beginning work on a feature film adaptation of Don DeLillo's Point Omega.
Danny Boyle is no longer the most interesting film maker working on something for the summer's games.
Gordon's most conventional film to date was probably Zidane, a film that tracked the football player Zinedine Zidane in real time through the entire duration of a match – a remake, I suppose, of Hellmuth Costard's Football As Never Before which applied the same format to George Best at the height of his powers in 1970.
Whatever shape he finds for Point Omega, I'm sure it will be well worth chewing over.

Just when we thought it could not get any worse, it did.
Howard Schnellenberger called the UAB performance the worst he's been around. Then DC Kirk Hoza called it his worst coaching job. Then the Owls 'out-worst' themselves, allowing Troy to pile up 651 yards, 29 more than UAB managed.
Coaches were surprised at how a defense that appeared to grow the previous week against Arkansas State could completely wilt in Trojan country. The defense has dropped to 116th nationally, giving up 462.5 yards per game and is allowing 36.1 points, 114th in the nation. Which means the arrival of 0-10 Western Kentucky for senior day could not come at a better time.
WKU, one of two winless teams in the division formally known at 1-A, is 97th in the nation in total defense (327.7 yards per game), including 118th in rushing defense (267.6).
But, it is even worse defensively.
Western Kentucky has the worst scoring defense of the 120 teams in football's upper division, being hammered for 42.2 points per game. As for total defense, WKU's opponent are amassing 506.5 yards per game, which is 119th nationally.
This is one game where Alfred Morris, Jeff Van Camp and Co. should be able match anything the opponent puts on the scoreboard.
FAU coaches remain optimistic – what else can they do – that this defense will one day be formative. They already made changes, replacing then-leading tackler, Michael Lockley, and the leader in sacks, Dino Cox, before the ASU game. Of course, those were hardly noticed a week later.
The defense certainly will be a focus for the next nine months. Just four players depart following the season, including two full-time starters in Josh Savidge and Ed Bradwell, so major changes are not likely.
What would you do to improve this defense? Change the scheme? Bring in some JUCO players? Make changes in the staff?
Let me know.

Mandriva still sucks...?
I began as a Linux user two years ago on MDK 9.1. I remember how horrible it was.
The other day I decided to give Mandriva 2005 Limited Edition and once again, in my opinion it's horrible.
In order to even install Mandriva *successfully*, I have to use the alt2 kernel alongside a pletheora of other options. Otherwise the installer stalls shortly after I'm done with package selection.
I've also noticed too much rushing will just simply kill the installer.
Furthermore, I've installed Mandriva 9 times now and I can't even use it. As soon as KDM loads the entire operating system freezes, leaving me with no other option but to kill the system. I've done everything possible, this problem just isn't fixable. This is the first distrobution to just outright not work at all on my system.
I'm beginning to become weary of the 2.6.x series. It seems every time I've used it on my PC there's always been some sort of problem; the system stalls, or something isn't detected, or the mouse just decides to die seconds after a fresh installation. The 2.4.x has NEVER had any of these problems on my system, and this baffles me because my hardware is fairly new. AMD64, 1GB RAM, SATA, etc.
Either way, I just needed to vent about how angry this distrobution makes me. How do you people stand using RPM as a means of "package management?" Dependencies alone are enough to drive you mad, let alone the slowness and instability of RPM packages themselves.
I should've known Mandriva could never replace Slackware.

But before we get into all that, here's a bit about Diana:
When she was eight, Diana Miller decided she wanted to be Nancy Drew. But no matter how many garbage cans she dug through, conversations she "accidentally" overheard, and attics she searched, she never found a single cryptic letter, hidden staircase, or anything else even remotely mysterious. She worked as a lawyer, a soda jerk, a stay-at-home mom, a hospital admitting clerk, and a conference host before deciding that the best way to inject suspense into her otherwise satisfying life was by writing about it.
Diana is a five-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award and winner of a Golden Heart for Dangerous Affairs--a romantic suspense novel that shows not everyone in her home state is Minnesota Nice. She lives in the Twin Cities with her family.
Blurb for Dangerous Affairs:
When soap opera star Abby Langford leaves Los Angeles for her Minnesota hometown, she's hoping to give her nine-year-old daughter the peaceful childhood she never knew. But instead of tranquility, Abby finds an old knife hidden between the walls of her new house. Then the nightmares start: a blood-soaked victim and a killer's arm slicing through the air, again and again.
Abby wonders if she's having the nervous breakdown the tabloids claim she already had, especially when sexy, skeptical police chief Josh Kincaid questions her story. When menacing hate mail arrives, Josh's professional concern for Abby soon evolves into an intense attraction, and the feeling is mutual. And now Josh wonders if her psychic visions are of crimes of the past--or a premoninition of terrors to come.
To survive, Abby and Josh must uncover the truth and stop a killer...before Abby's worst nightmares come true.
Excerpt for Dangerous Affairs:
The knife had obviously been there a long time, nestled in the dust bunnies and wood shavings between the walls, in the space one of the two mahogany doors that separated the Victorian-stle living room from the Brady Bunch decor of the family room usually slid back into. And it was covered with blood.
Abby Langford leaned the broom she'd used to fish out the knife against the wall, then picked the knife off the floor and studied it. Despite the day's warmth and the sunlight streaming through the picture window, a gloomy chill engulfed the room. She could almost feel the steel blade scraping down her spine, raising goose bumps on her shoulders and arms.
This knife had killed someone.
Then she shook herself, dispelling most of the prickly cold. As usual, she was letting her imagination run wild. This wasn't some menacing murder weapon, but an ordinary kitchen knife, with a nine-inch steel blade and a wood handle that looked parched enough to absorb a cup of mineral oil. The blood consisted of a few reddish-brown splotches on the blade, splotches that to her looked too dmeared to be rust. It could be old food, though, something like dehydrated ketchup or oxidized chocolate. Or even blood, but from a rare steak, not a human.
Another shiver slivered across Abby's shoulder blades. Because if this were an innocuous kitchen blade, why had someone hidden it so carefully?
Diana will be awarding one $25 Amazon gift certificate to a
randomly drawn commenter during the tour.

If you've been reading a while you know by now how important it is to stay away from gluten, especially if you have celiac disease! There is a lot more to it than just making sure your food doesn't have gluten containing ingredients – you also need to be sure that it hasn't been contaminated. Fortunately, home test kits for gluten are available and today is your chance to win!
I like GlutenTox because it allows you to choose how sensitive of a test you want to run. Some people find that they are sensitive to gluten at levels far below the widely accepted 20 ppm. Others don't feel many symptoms but know damage is being done and don't want to take their chances. Testing can also be valuable if you are trying to figure out other food sensitivities.
Whether you are testing a product labeled "gluten-free" or a raw ingredient that could have been contaminated in a bulk bin, packaging facility, or by roommates, GlutenTox can give you peace of mind. I've heard of people using the test kits in restaurants, but honestly, it seems kind of impractical to me. It might make sense to do it the first time you visit a particular restaurant you plan on visiting regularly.
GlutenTox sent me a two-pack to try it out for myself. (I was not obligated to give a positive review or do a giveaway). I decided to test a mushroom I bought at the store and an egg from our hens. I've been curious about these foods because I'd heard rumors that mushrooms are often grown on straw and contaminated. I also wondered about our eggs, since we do have straw in the coop and the feed that we use contains gluten. Both eggs and mushrooms sometimes upset my digestion, so I thought I'd see if gluten was involved.
In retrospect I wish I had done one of the tests on something I *knew* had gluten – just so I could be sure the tests would give a positive result. As it turned out, both my mushroom and my egg were free of gluten cross-contamination according to the tests I ran. Both my tests came back negative at the 5 ppm level. Since Kid2 hasn't felt sick from eating those foods (though he's not a big fan of mushrooms), I feel pretty confident the tests were accurate.
The kits reminded me a lot of a pregnancy test. Basically, you grind up your sample, mix it in the solution, then apply a little drop of the solution to the test stick and wait five minutes for your answer. One line means the test is working, two lines means the test is working and you have a positive result.
