The book is enhanced by 600 clear and precise diagrams, a glossary and tables, including the betting odds. For any player who means to take the game seriously and wants to play well, Backgammon is an indispensable guide.
This new 2004 edition of Backgammon also includes a lively behind-the-scenes foreword by Renée Magriel Roberts that illuminates the man behind the name "X-22" and describes the creation of the book.
Having stood the test of time for over a quarter-century, Backgammon is still the best and most widely recommended and quoted standard instructional manual and reference work on the game for novice and expert alike.
Paul David Magriel, Jr., also known as "X-22" was World Backgammon Champion in 1978. A former New York State junior chess champion, Paul won a full scholarship to New York University in mathematics and graduated first in his class with a National Science Foundation fellowship to Princeton University in probability. He was a professor at the Newark College of Engineering, now known as the New Jersey Institute of Technology before becoming a full-time backgammon and poker player.
Paul worked for several years as The New York Times' backgammon columnist. He has competed in and won tournaments all over the world and is widely considered to be the world's best backgammon teacher, its most accomplished theorist, and one of the game's premier players.
Renée Magriel Roberts studied linguistics at New York University and comparative mediaeval literature at Columbia University and the Union Institute, and software engineering at Brandeis University. In addition to co-authoring books with Paul, she has been an educational consultant, a correspondent for The Boston Globe and a content expert in world literature for Jones International University in Colorado. She is the proprietor of Rose's Books (www.rosesbooks.com) and Clock & Rose Press.

XL Results Foundation Get Rich Quick Scam on aggressive sales trip to Australia
XL Results Foundation pte ltd www.resultsfoundation.com a global business network under a legal and financial cloud in Singapore will target investors in Sydney 3rd December, Melbourne 4th December, Brisbane 5th December and Perth on the 6th December 2007. Refer website: www.resultsnetaustralia.com
Roger Hamilton, Chairman of XL Results Foundation formerly of Singapore now based in Bali (company registration no: 200107729C – registered in Singapore) found himself in trouble at the beginning of this year when approximately 150 Singaporean member's demanded their money back claiming they were duped, cheated and money promised to charity by Mr Hamilton was pocketed.
XL Life Members believed they were buying into a global network and a foundation. The business connections never eventuated with members claiming they were actually sourced from the free online network linkedin. Mr Hamilton has claimed the XL network is 60,000 contacts however; he has not been able to substantiate this.
Disgruntled XL Life Members went to the media to expose the company when it wouldn't return their money. XL Results Foundation has been featured in the Straits Times Newspaper Singapore, English and Chinese Radio in Singapore, the Courier Mail and Brisbane Times Online Newspaper and the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand.
Roger Hamilton is promoting himself as an entrepreneur contributing to world wide wealth with 10% of all XL revenue promised to charity. The XL accounts further discredit Mr. Hamilton's claims. Back ground checks on the company show it is not a foundation but a private limited company with its offshore bank accounts listed through a post office in the Seychelles.
XL Results Foundation is listed with the Bad Business Bureau in the US after complaints were lodged against the US arm of the company on the global consumer website www.ripoffreport.com and an urgent consumer warning was issued by UK Consumer Website www.rip-off.co.uk
Mr. Hamilton's woes seem to continue with XL Results Foundation Pte Ltd recently featured in the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand. Reports filed against XL alledge XL Results Foundation is an offshore scam operating a Pyramid Scheme/Ponzi scheme. Members claim the company's source of revenue is from the recruitment of newly duped members into the scheme.
Up to 700 Australian's may have already been duped by the scam with the Australian Promoter Mr Paul Dunn of Results Net Australia implicated. Mr Hamilton is back in Australia on an aggressive sales trip to sell his XL Results Foundation memberships for USD$10,000.
He is not disclosing to consumers there has been an Asia Pacific community petition against the company, $1 million in refund demands and that the company is alleged to be operating a criminal business in a court of law in Singapore. Mr Hamilton is blocking legal requests for full disclosure of the XL accounts with Australian and New Zealand consumer's fees being used in legal costs to protect the scam.
To deflect questions from the community Roger Hamilton of XL Results Foundation has established a media advisory unit operated by his brother in law Mr Ian Grundy to suggest the company is being slurred by a former employee and that journalists did not do due diligence. Mr Grundy is also listed on public legal documents with Mr Hamilton.
In public legal documents the former employee alledges the company is a scam. Roger Hamilton and XL Results Foundation has legally gagged the former employee since 2004 and conducted a long running and malicious slur campaign against the individual. Newly duped members are unknowingly funding this.
Mr Hamilton promises individuals who join they will benefit from opportunities and get rich. As is the case with all Get Rich Quick Scams only Mr Hamilton and his accomplices benefit.
The latest complaint against XL Results Foundation issues a warning to investors to do due diligence.

Riding momentum isn't a sinDecember 18, 2013: 7:59 AM ET
This article was published in the December issue of Money magazine.
By Paul R. La Monica
Buy low and sell high may be the first rule of investing, but that doesn't mean you should invest only in poorly performing shares while ignoring stocks on a roll.
If this year's market has taught you anything, it's that stocks that go up can keep climbing higher. In fact, history shows investing in the prior year's top-returning groups beats betting on a rebound among last year's worst performers, notes Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ.
Related: A different take on dividends
No one is saying to go buy Tesla (TSLA) -- up 350% year to date; price/earnings ratio: 98 -- or Netflix (NFLX) -- up 300%; P/E: 93 -- says Eric Jackson, managing member of the hedge fund Ironfire Capital. Instead, look at shares of companies that are within 10% of their 52-week highs. Then focus on names with strong profit growth, low debt, and reasonable valuations.
I ran this screen and was happy to see that several companies I cited in columns earlier this year made the cut, including FedEx (FDX), GameStop (GME), Qualcomm (QCOM), and Union Pacific (UNP). Here are three new names that have also had stellar runs -- and that still look as though they've got fuel left in the tank:
Seek financial strength...
Corning (GLW) is an old-guard manufacturer thriving in the new tech world because of its Gorilla Glass unit, which sells screens to most major smartphone and tablet makers. Plus, "the company's balance sheet is a fortress," says Irwin Michael, portfolio manager with ABC Funds, which owns the stock. Those strong finances allowed management to recently announce plans to buy out Samsung Display's stake in a key joint venture that makes LCD displays. That acquisition is expected to boost Corning's profits by 20% in 2014 and 2015.
...and sustainable growth
The online travel site Priceline.com (PCLN) has been on a tear amid strong revenue and booking growth. Yet Mitch Rubin, manager of the RiverPark Large Growth Fund, which owns the stock, says investors shouldn't be scared off by the stock's P/E of 21.
Related: How much market risk are you willing to take?
The company's annual profit growth rate is as high as its P/E, a sign the stock isn't necessarily overvalued. Plus Morningstar analyst Dan Su says Priceline's outlook remains strong as the firm makes a big push into Europe and Asia, where online booking is less prevalent than in the U.S.
Watch: Twitter soars but still has much to prove
Rubin also likes the private equity firm Blackstone (BX), a leader in two asset classes gaining momentum: commercial real estate and alternative assets such as hedge funds. The firm's third-quarter earnings surged more than 30%, thanks to its real estate portfolio. Blackstone's size -- it is the world's third-biggest player in private equity -- should help the firm keep attracting assets.
"Their asset growth has been strong since their IPO, and it will continue to grow," says Rubin. Yet the stock trades at a P/E of 9, nearly half that of other asset managers.

The Relationship between Person Organization Fit, Person-Job-Fit and Turnover Intention in Banking Sector of Pakistan: The Mediating Role of Psychological Climate
In last few decades, employees' job related attitudes and behaviors have remained topics of considerable interest in the fields of organizational behavior and human resource management. This study aims to explore the impact of person-organization-fit and person-job-fit on employee turnover intention while considering psychological climate as a mediating variable. Sample for this research is consisted of 260 employees from top five commercial banks of large cities of Pakistan. SPSS 17 is used for analyzing the data. Correlation and regression analysis is used to test the direct and mediating relationship between key variables. Results indicate that both person-organization-fit and person-job-fit have negative relationship with turnover intention. Psychological climate partially mediates the relationship between person-organization-fit and turnover intention while fully mediates the relationship between person-job-fit and turnover intention.

Do you spend hours at work on Facebook? Check your accounts in the middle of the night? Get irritated when you can't update your status during dinner? You might need digital rehab.
"This is not something to be taken lightly," says Dr. Hilarie Cash, cofounder of the reSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program. "China and South Korea have declared digital addiction to be their No. 1 health threat. … But in the United States, it's hard to get people to take this addiction seriously because it's so socially acceptable."
According to a 2010 social media addiction study by Retrevo, 27 percent of those surveyed under the age of 35 admitted to checking their social media pages such as Twitter and Facebook more than 10 times a day. Cash started her recovery program a year and a half ago because she noticed the resources for treatment of this type were so limited, but the cases kept piling up.
"What people don't realize is that essentially all addictions are the same," she explains. "They result from an overstimulation in the brain of the reward pathway."
Cash offers inpatient and outpatient care for digital addicts between the ages of 15 and 38. Those who choose the inpatient option spend 45 days on a 5-acre facility in Fall City, Wash., with no electronics. Therapists work with the patients and do assessments to see what's driving the condition.
"When you take people whose social skills are limited because they've been digitally dependent for long periods of time, and force them to interact with others, it can be quite challenging," she says. "We often find the digital addiction stems from other issues or emotional traumas. While it's not as intense as a chemical withdrawal, we see anxiety, depression, and other withdrawal side effects when they are away from technology. It's a very real disorder."
As with any addiction, there are levels of severity. What if you're only experiencing the digital distractions on a limited basis? Maybe you're having trouble getting work done because you're too enthralled with the discussion a friend is having on their Facebook wall? Rather than heading to rural Washington, installing the "Facebook Rehab" or "E-mail Rehab" extensions on your computer could be your ticket to managing your addiction. These two new Google Chrome browser extensions developed by Quickrr are already gaining steam, especially with concerned employers.
"The Facebook Rehab tool enables the user to pick the amount of time he wishes to spend on Facebook each day," says Avi Goldfinger, CEO of Quickrr. "As the rehab process continues the user can add more and more restrictions to his setup by further limiting the hours of day he can use Facebook. There's a timer that shows you how many minutes you have left to use in that day."
And as awareness over this addiction continues to rise, Goldfinger says monitoring behaviors early on can help prevent disruptive patterns from gaining steam.
"Keeping your job has never been more important, but relationships and ensuring your kids stay safe (and productive) while online is just as important," he says. "In just a few months our tools have been installed by over 200,000 people, most of which reside in the United States.
"We're not out there to stop people from using Facebook or e-mails, just to help them do it in a smart and efficient way."
Here are some tips to help keep your digital use in check.
Try to avoid checking your Facebook account on weekends. If two days off is too shocking to your system, start with one day and work your way up.
Force yourself to turn your handheld devices off at bedtime. Be sure to put them in a place where you won't be tempted to check them during the night. "If you don't activate the reward pathway, your sleep will improve," says Cash.
Take a "tech-free" time out each day with your family or loved ones. "This could even be just taking a walk by yourself, or at a meal with your kids," says Cash. "When we stop having conversations with others, we forget how to socialize and revert back to our computers for comfort. It's important to keep these mental pathways active."

|Beverly (d: July 2011), Nancy (d: Dec 2007), J. Richard (d: April 2007) Agard
I was sad to learn that my aunt, Beverly Gene Shepard Agard, passed away on Wednesday, 27 July 2011. Not knowing she was near her time, that very afternoon she arrived in my thoughts. I thought about how lucky I was to visit her on Mother's Day and to present her with a three ring binder that held her Shepard family history. I explained it wasn't finished, but I hoped she would enjoy what was presented and that it would bring her happy memories. As I thought about Aunt Beverly Wednesday noontime, I vowed to give her a call very soon. We had to rush off that afternoon and didn't get back until evening, when I received the email that she had passed away.
|Beverly Shepard, age one year
Beverly was born 10 April 1926 to Howard Eugene and Ethel A. Grover Shepard. Beverly grew up in the Southern Tier of New York, and then the family moved to Hudson Street in Ithaca, New York.
|Beverly and Dick Agard
Beverly married J. Richard Agard on 23 July 1946. She had completed her degree from Cornell University, but put off any thoughts of career as she knew the importance of raising her family. When her two girls were well on their way, Beverly operated her own drapery and upholstery business in Cayuga Heights. Many homeowners are thankful that Beverly was there to assist them in those important decorating decisions.
Beverly was the best cook. We were always thrilled to get an invitation to Beverly's house for dinner and couldn't wait to partake in her delicious meals.
Beverly, you are missed. We miss your smiling face and your wonderful laugh. Rest in peace.

A Book for All Ages: "William Henry Is a Fine Name"
- Paula Moldenhauer Contributing Writer
- 2007 27 Mar
"William Henry Is a Fine Name" (Moody Publishers) is one of those rare books that transcends the age of the reader. Though the author, Cathy Gohlke, wrote it as youth fiction, her publisher viewed it as a coming-of-age story strong enough to be read and enjoyed by both adults and youth and labeled the novel as historical fiction.
The book chronicles the life of a 13-year-old boy, Robert, torn between two worlds in 1859. Robert is raised in the south on a plantation run by abolitionists who've freed their former slaves and now share the earnings of the plantation with them. Robert's best friend, William Henry, is a free black boy. However, Robert's mother is the daughter of a rich slave owner who's hoping to groom Robert to take over his plantation. The two worlds collide and Robert must decide whether to become a part of the Underground Railroad, like his father, or to step into the wealth and ease his grandfather offers.
The book is beautifully descriptive with a well-crafted story line. A wonderful choice for our family read aloud time, both my children and I were engrossed in the drama of this novel. But the author did more than craft a great story with well-chosen words, she offered her readers big ideas to process and I feel both my children and I grew as we experienced this book together.
Cathy, what prompted you to write "William Henry Is a Fine Name"?
From the moment in childhood that I learned of the Underground Railroad I have been fascinated and inspired by those daring races to freedom and by the courageous runners, conductors, and stationmasters who risked their lives to help one another. I've wondered if I could so courageously act upon such conviction. Writing this book helped me explore that.
Did a particular passion drive you as you wrote?
My passion is to bless young people, to let them know they are not powerless, not alone, that they, too, can effect change in their own spheres by the grace of God, and that there are real life answers in the Bible for all of us. Our questions may change through the years, but God's answers and the principles that lead to life are for all generations.
What questions have you had that were answered by these principles?
There are so many over my lifetime. Questions like: What does God want of me? How do I honor Him in my life? How can I live a Christian life in school, at home, at work, at church, and in the world when people around me look down on or ridicule that? How do I treat someone who looks or believes differently than I? If I don't like my situation or if it is hurtful what can I do to change it? What if changing my situation hurts someone else? Is there a way to heal both? Does God call us to live our Christian life in solitude or community? How far does that community extend? What if helping one person hurts another?
Your book is full of wonderful themes, themes of courage, friendship, loyalty, and justice. What one theme do you think is most important in this work and how do you hope it might impact a reader?
Love – love for God and love for neighbor. That love motivates us to live courageously, intentionally, to be willing to sacrifice to help others. I hope this book will stimulate readers to step up and receive the abundant relationship God offers, then look people they meet each day in the eye, and care for, value, and protect them as much as they care for, value, and protect themselves.
Is there something in your own life that fuels a passion for that theme? Would you be willing to share a personal experience along these lines?
Many life events fuel my passion for this theme. Here is one. I grew up in the south during years of the Civil Rights movement. Laws changed more quickly than attitudes.
I remember the day the church at the end of our street installed a basketball hoop and net in their parking lot. It was a grand day for the kids in the neighborhood. We rushed through dinner and ran to the church, dribbling our basketball and shooting hoops until dark. None of us were very good players, but it was great fun.
Pretty soon an African American boy who lived across the street and beyond the field joined us. Joe (not his real name) was a great basketball player! He'd rarely miss a shot and taught us what he knew. That his skin was black made no difference to us. We were excited to have a new friend, were curious about his life beyond the field – it looked like a farm from far away – and of course, we all wanted him on our team.
After the third night my mother received a phone call from a "concerned parent" who lived near the church. She'd seen my mother's "white daughter" playing with "that colored boy" and wanted to advise her. She was certain my mother would never allow such a thing if she had knowledge of it. My mother assured her we were all just playing basketball, but the woman made our game sound dirty, and told my mother that if she didn't call a stop to it her children would not be allowed to play with my brother or me. The woman was certain the other mothers in the neighborhood would feel the same.
That was the last night of basketball in the church parking lot for a long time – the last night I ever played there. I was livid, my brother was livid, and our mother distraught – caught in the middle. We all knew it was unjust, unfair and small-minded. Even as children, we understood that.
The few times I saw Joe later, before he moved away, he never raised his eyes to mine. He acted as though he didn't know me. For three glorious nights we'd all been innocents and Joe had had a place to shine and share his gifts among new friends. That was ripped away from him as surely as if he'd been yanked on a chain. We lost so much more than basketball that night.
I've often wondered if Joe remembers that time, or if it was just one in such a long line of injustices that he's forgotten. I've always wished I could have done something better in that situation. Now, by God's grace, I can.
I love the way you weave amazing description and beautiful writing into a story with lots of drama and action. My boys were mesmerized by the action. I was mesmerized by the cadence of your words. How did you do it?
You are so generous, Paula. I love the beauty of language and celebrate that in the things I read – poetry and prose. I love the rhythm of words and the way they fit together. Reading aloud and performing my work helps tremendously. I love a good story. I remember being young and exploring old houses, searching dead tree stumps, scratching at the base of gravestones, desperately wishing an exciting mystery might pop up for me to solve. Writing provides just the opportunity for that sort of drama and action. It's great fun to write something, then whistle, and shout, "Whoa! That could've happened!"
What was your favorite scene in this book and why?
Ouch. That feels a little like choosing one child over another. I especially love the scenes where William Henry and Robert are together. My favorites among those include the opening scene at the fishing hole, where they've escaped their mothers and outwitted Jake Tulley all in one fine day; the time they skunk the Tulley's dogs so the dogs can't track Robert's father, Mr. Heath or the slaves they are helping to escape; the urgent meeting late one night on the porch when William Henry returns Robert's lost watch, entrusts Robert with the significance of his name, and says more than his friend can understand at the time.
Who is your favorite character in this book and why?
William Henry. It seems William Henry was born knowing what is important in life. He "inhaled" reading. He learned through every experience and put all of that to the best use he knew. He stood by those he loved and reached out to those in need. He did not second-guess his decisions once he set his feet on a path. I loved his audacity and decisive nature. That does not mean I agreed with all of his decisions – but, like thirteen-year-old Robert, I loved and admired him.
My third grader cried at one point as I read the book to the children and didn't want to continue with the story because it made him sad. (We were at a particularly difficult point where the slaves were severely mistreated.) We worked through the painful spot and finished the novel, which is very redemptive. Do you have advice for parents as they discuss the hard issues of this book?
Hold your children close. Mourn loss with them. Mourning a character or situation in a book helps children understand that it is okay to cry, that grief is normal, and that life does go on, even after bad things happen. Let them know that the bad things people have done to each other are not right and should never be repeated. Tell them that by knowing these things they can decide, like Robert, how and when to take their own stand for what is right and good and true, and how to keep going when life is very hard. Help children recognize unfair, unjust treatment in the world they live in. Help them understand how they, even in their youth, can respond to that. Talk about the people who helped Robert, the people he could trust and why they were trustworthy. Talk about trustworthy people in your child's life, and why you, or they, believe them trustworthy.
What one message would you like to leave with your readers?

While there are many Taijiquan Grand Masters who are well known in the West … there are also many of the greatest adepts of this internal martial art who are almost completely obscured. Even masters from more recent years, of whom there is plenty of video & photographic evidence demonstrating their skill, are often totally unknown to English speaking Western Taijiquan practitioners.
The departed Great Grandmaster Li Jingwu (1912-1997) is one such example. Master Li was an expert at both Wu style taijiquan as well as Chen style taijiquan … and studied with some of the most preeminent masters in these styles of his day.
Born in Shandong province, and raised in Harbin (of Heilongjiang province), it was not until he moved …

with reviews and nice pictures of satisfied India travellers.
You want to publish your nice experiences here too? Please feel free to send me a message. Thank you so much.
Good morning and namaste Mr. Kuber,
it took me one week – since I have come home – to adjust myself to the daily routine. My friends and me - we had a really great tour through India / Ratjasthan – a cracking good story!
Weiterlesen ...
We could not wish for a better driver than Kuber Prasad who made out Indian trip so enjoyable and memorable! We have had very good drivers in many different countries in our travels and we can definitely say that Kuber Prasad , our driver in our Indian travels in 2016, is the best we have ever encountered!!
My husband and I had an amazing 15-days-tour through Rajasthan with Kuber Prasad in November 2016. Kuber and I had planned the tour via email, and Kuber organized the route according to our wishes and his expert knowledge.We booked the accomodations on our own, but Kuber offered his help and would have done this for us if we had requested it.
Rajasthan mit Kubertours im Maerz 2016
Vorab eine kurze Beschreibung von uns als Personen und unseren Reisegewohnheiten. Sind ein Paar, Mitte Vierzig und vorwiegend mit dem Rucksack in Budget Unterkuenften bis zu gehobeneren Mittelklassehotels unterwegs. Haben bisher zweimal Indien (Kerala und Goa) mit Bus und Bahn bereist.
We have spent this year (Jan.2015) 5 weeks in Rajasthan with "Kubertours" and we can only recommend the perfect organisation, the friendliness and reliability of this group.
While planning our tip in Rajasthan we soon realized that it is almost impossible to visit all the sights and spots we wanted to see within two weeks by using public transport. Based on the experiences I made while living in India for 12 months, I knew that it would take us at least twice as along and a lot of nerves. So we started looking for a private driver.
After googling for a while I found Kubers nice and very well clearly laid out page, so I decided to look for comments from former clients

"If you were the person accused, would you want more transparency?" asked Kevin Keller of the CFP Board. The CEO of the CFP Board was responding in a Thursday interview to critics, including some on AdvisorOne, who have called for more transparency in the Alan Goldfarb case.
"Let the process work its way through," Keller (left) said, and only then, depending on the findings of the investigation against Goldfarb and two members of the Board's ethics panel who recently resigned, would there be any possible review of the Board's disciplinary standards and process (see original AdvisorOne story; see update provided during a Board November webinar).
Keller, who spoke during the Schwab Impact 2012 conference in Chicago, continued with comments on the three new members of the CFP Board who were elected to its Board of Directors at its Fall 2012 meeting: Blaine Aikin, the president and CEO of fi360, whom Keller called a "clear advocate for the fiduciary standard"; Professor Arthur Laby of Rutgers-Camden's law school whom Keller noted had served for almost 10 years at the SEC and characterized as "very thoughtful and realistic; he shares the mission of the organizations"; and Thomas Nelson, president of the national anti-hunger group Share Our Strength who previously was COO of AARP, whom Keller noted was filling the public member slot on the board—"having public members in addition to practitioners brings a valuable outside perspective."
The three new members will bring the total of board members as of Jan. 1, 2013, to 14 voting members and Keller as a non-voting member.
As for membership, Keller reported that there were 67,324 CFPs as of Nov. 15. Citing Cerulli's data on the overall size of the advisor universe, Keller said that "we have about 18%" of that total universe. We don't want 1,005, but we can do better" in growing its membership ranks.
That planned growth is part of the Board's AGRA initiative, an acronym standing for the CFP Board's major goals: Awareness of the CFP mark; Growth of membership–since the mark's founding, Keller said there had been membership growth every year but one; staying abreast of and seeking to influence Regulation of financial planners, and being the Authority in financial planning: "we keep the body of knowledge."

The latest modern bathrooms are equipped with not only the necessary plumbing, but also all kinds of interior details that give to the room individuality and original look.
The main functional part of the bathroom besides the obvious bathroom vanity is the vanity mirror. bathroom mirror in Perronville, MI. bathroom mirror in Perronville, MI. This familiar household item helps us to direct the beauty and fine in conjunction with the space of a bathroom, expanding its space and create a beautiful decorative effect.
So, how to choose a right vanity mirror? Don't worry, it's not rocket science. But here are a few guidelines for you to follow when you go to make your selection.
All mirrors are made of a single technology, but the coating on the reverse side can be different, depending on the destination mirror. Thus, the mirror for the bathroom and other rooms are different from each other. Conventional mirrors for the rooms are cheap because they have a simple finishing. A bathroom mirrors have a special water-resistant coating, which allows you to carry frequent changes in temperature and high humidity and allows the mirrors to stand the test of time. Pay attention to what the mirror itself is manufactured from as well as the frame. Both pieces are of equal importance when you are looking for something with durability.
For the cheaper variety mirror such tests are unlikely to survive. With heat and humidity, there is always a problem with cracking or warping to the mirrors frame. None of which are good things if you'd like the mirror to stay in that spot forever. The rear cover can be multilayer and made from resin; it prevents the peeling of the amalgam and water penetration. The most durable mirrors have a silver finish rather than the aluminum amalgam. In addition, the process of manufacturing the mirrors requires use of expensive equipment and high quality raw materials, which is why such mirrors are more expensive. In addition, due to high humidity, this mirror is best placed in a stainless metal or plastic frame. That's not to say though that all wood or MDF mirrors are bad though. Some have been specially treated to withstand such elements. The bottom line is: Do your homework.
The main place for a mirror is obviously over the sink. It is best if it is stretched vertically and is fixed on hinges to adjust the angle of inclination. With this, you get more of a complete "picture". It is also very useful if the main mirror is attached to the additional small mirror on the handle that allows you to see yourself from behind. Do not feel limited by these constraints, however. You can add mirrors to other places in addition to over a vanity in a large bathroom to give the appearance of space or simply as simple, stunning accents.
Vanity mirror with shelf
The mirror for the bathroom - it is not just a stylish piece of furniture, but also a very practical thing. Many models are equipped with additional mirrors, functional devices. For example, mirrors are often provided with special small shelves, which can comfortably accommodate the necessary things: creams, lotions, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other toiletries. Whether you need it for storage or simply as a decorative accent, a modern mirror can do wonders for any bathing space.

Famed Soprano Jessye Norman to Receive Honorary Degree
The University of Rochester will present an honorary Doctor of Music degree to Jessye Norman, one of the world's leading classical sopranos, at Norman's benefit concert for Action for a Better Community Inc. (ABC) on Sunday, April 14.
The recipient of numerous honors both for her artistry and her humanitarian contributions, Norman has performed to critical and popular acclaim in major opera houses and concert halls around the world for more than 40 years. Of her rich and powerful voice, which encompasses female registers from contralto to high dramatic soprano, The New York Times stated, "This is an amazing voice, a catalogue of all that is virtuous in singing." Norman has recorded extensively on major labels and won acclaim for her innovative programming, her collaborations with artists on the cutting-edge in their fields such as Robert Wilson, Andre Heller, and Bill T. Jones, and her support of emerging talent.
"Jessye Norman is an artist of highest distinction in American music," said Joel Seligman, president of the University of Rochester. "She has enriched the lives of people through her performances and has had an extraordinary impact on American music and culture."
Since winning the Munich Competition in 1968, Norman developed an operatic and recital career across Europe, the United States, Asia, and South America. Her repertoire expanded to include jazz with her American Masters program tours of music by Bernstein, Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Ellington.
Norman is the recipient of the French government's Legion d'Honneur, holds the title of Commandeur de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, received the Radcliff Institute Medal, and was honored with the Eleanor Roosevelt Val-Kill Medal in recognition of her humanitarian and civic contributions, which include the tuition-free Jessye Norman School of the Arts in her hometown of Augusta, Ga., for talented middle school students in music performance, writing, drama, dance, and graphic art.
The recipient of five Grammys, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Norman has also been awarded theGrand Prix National du Disque, a Gramophone Award, the Edison Prize, and other honors in Belgium, Spain, and Germany for her recordings. In 1997, she became the youngest artist to be awarded the Kennedy Center Honor, and at a 2010 White House ceremony she was presented with the highest award in the arts, the National Medal of Arts. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Norman's many other prestigious distinctions include honorary doctorates at some 40 colleges, universities, and conservatories around the world.
In addition to her performance schedule, Norman serves on the board of directors for The New York Public Library, the board of governors for the New York Botanical Garden, and on the boards of Carnegie Hall, The Dance Theatre of Harlem, Howard University, the Lupus Foundation, and Paine College.
Norman's April 14 benefit concert for ABC, which also features Garth Fagan Dance, starts at 5 p.m. in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre; additional information is available from ABC at 585-325-5116 or www.abcinfo.org.

| 8.9°C Belfast
A highly-criticised undercover police unit was so secretive even Scotland Yard bosses were unaware that it existed, it has emerged.
The force's shadowy Special Demonstration Squad was kept under wraps by Special Branch commanders from more senior officers including deputy commissioners and commissioners during the four decades it was in operation.
It has come under fresh criticism today for keeping records of personal information linked to bereaved families who were fighting for justice after loved ones were murdered or died after contact with police.
A new report revealed that references to 17 campaigns dating between 1970 and 2005 had been discovered, in addition to records already unearthed about groups fighting for justice for murder victim Stephen Lawrence, and warned that more may emerge.
Relatives of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot in 2005 after police mistook him for a terrorist, have said they may sue the force. The families of Cherry Groce, whose death sparked the Brixton riots, and Ricky Reel, who died in mysterious circumstances in 1997, were also mentioned in the records.
Derbyshire Chief Constable Mick Creedon, who is leading an investigation into the SDS, said: "What is surprising to me is the number of people, the most senior levels in the Met working in covert policing, working in public order command, who did not know about the unit at all."
He heavily criticised the SDS, Special Branch and Metropolitan Police senior management for the fact that the information was kept at all, calling the scale of the record keeping by the unit "staggering".
One reference was to an unnamed person planning to go to a funeral, even though "there was no intelligence to indicate that the funeral would have been anything other than a dignified event", the report said, and Mr Creedon confirmed that there were "more personal examples".
He added: "Quite simply put unless the information could have prevented crime or disorder it should not have been retained and certainly not for the period it has been.
"I can understand why this is likely to be distressing and astonishing for those families and friends who campaigned often for years for justice - to know that details of your deceased or innocent family member and your campaign was mentioned in reports stored - often stored for years - in Special Branch records. This must seem inexplicable."
Scotland Yard was found to have ignored national guidelines on the storing of information.
The report said: "It is quite clear that maintaining the secrecy of the unit and protecting the identity of the officers was of paramount importance to all involved - and in being so focused on this aspect the management of the SDS, of the Metropolitan Police Special Branch and ultimately the Metropolitan Police Executive Leadership of the day collectively failed."
So far investigators have spoken to three former commissioners as part of their inquiry, which is expected to last for another year.
Mr Creedon said: " We have spoken to officers who held the rank of Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, along with other very senior officers involved in covert policing and public order and the vast majority of them knew nothing of the existence of the SDS.
"This is astonishing given the suggested pivotal role the SDS played in reporting on violence and extremism and preventing disorder and the question has to be asked about the lack of executive scrutiny, of intrusive senior management and of effective supervision."
Operation Herne is continuing to examine the culture of the unit and will later give details of "some behaviour that was not appropriate", the report said.
Former SDS officers are already facing possible criminal charges for allegedly tricking women into sexual relationships, and have been accused of using dead children's identities without permission while undercover.
Today's report said: "Over the 40 years that the unit existed, senior Metropolitan Police management of the day either knew nothing about the existence and activities of the unit or, when they did, they appeared to have allowed the SDS to exist in secret isolation in a manner that was complacent and possibly negligent."
Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt from Scotland Yard stressed that undercover officers had infiltrated violent groups that tried to align themselves to legitimate campaigns, rather than the peaceful groups or families themselves.
He said: " I can absolutely apologise for the distress that this has caused the families. We need to understand all the facts of everything that has gone on.
"I really do hope that today's report which is categoric in stating that undercover officers were not tasked to go and gather intelligence directly from the families or directly from those groups that were legitimately supporting their cause, will go some way to reassure people."
Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee Keith Vaz said he would write to former Scotland Yard bosses to ask what they knew about the unit.
"I am shocked by the potential extent of this spying," he said. "The police should never snoop on vulnerable people to gain information, least of all on grieving families. Their role in these circumstances is to help not to hinder.
"It is vital that every instance of unacceptable practice is investigated and those responsible are held to account.
"As we have discovered in our hearings, despite Operation Herne costing £3.5 million, involving at least 26 officers and taking almost two years, no-one has been prosecuted and no senior officer from the Met has appeared to have taken responsibility.
"We have asked Mr Creedon to come before the committee when the House returns in September to update Parliament on these issues. I will also be writing to all of the previous commissioners to understand what they knew about these activities."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "For the police to gather secret information on victims' grieving families is appalling.
"Whilst covert police operations do have a role to play in modern policing, this report clearly demonstrates the need for robust management, oversight and processes to prevent this kind of abuse.
"Last summer, we called for a tightening of the oversight of undercover operations, including independent authorisation for long-term operations and spot inspections by a new stronger police standards authority to ensure the conduct of officers is appropriate.
"This report highlights why such measures are urgently needed if we are to maintain public confidence in policing."

Microsoft announced earlier today that it has hired Phil Harrison to be the corporate vice president of its Interactive Entertainment Business team, specifically its European business.
Harrison is no stranger to the gaming industry; beginning his career as the head of development for Mindscape International in 1989, he then went on to join Sony in 1992. Throughout his time at the company from 1992 through 2008, he held various executive positions in both Europe and North America. After departing Sony in 2008, he went on to work for Infogrames Entertainment SA as their "Directeur Général Délégué". He had also joined the Atari Board of Directors (going on to step down in 2010.) On top of his new job at Microsoft, he is continuing to serve as a special advisor to a venture capital firm that he co-founded, London Venture Partners, LLP.
"I am excited to be joining the senior team at Microsoft at a pivotal time for our industry," said Harrison. "I am really impressed with the company's long-term vision for growing the market for interactive entertainment globally and also with the incredible wealth of talent, technology and resources the company has available to succeed."
With 25 years of experience in the industry under his belt, Harrison certainly is a great addition to Microsoft's already highly successful IEB division. What will he be doing at the company? He has quite a fair bit of responsibility; the announcement notes that he will be in charge of the Microsoft Studios European organization, along with growing the IEB European business through "strategic partnerships" and by "bringing culturally relevant entertainment experiences to Microsoft platforms, now and in the future."


text: Overview King & Spalding CRITIQUE OF THE FREEH REPORT: THE RUSH TO INJUSTICE REGARDING JOE PATERNO After the Freeh Group, which had been retained as Special Investigative Counsel ("SIC") by the Penn State Board of Trustees to investigate the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, released its report in July 2012, the Paterno family asked King & Spalding to conduct a comprehensive review of both the report and Joe Paterno's conduct. They authorized us to engage preeminent experts and to obtain their independent analyses as an essential part of that review. This Critique of the Freeh report, which incorporates and attaches those independent analyses in full, sets the record straight. We conclude that the observations as to Joe Paterno in the Freeh report are unfounded, and have done a disservice not only to Joe Paterno and to the Penn State University community, but also to the victims of Jerry Sandusky and the critical mission of educating the public on the dangers of child sexual victimization. Dick Thornburgh, former Attorney General of the United States, and experts Jim Clemente and Fred Berlin, have each carefully examined the July 12, 2012 report prepared by Louis Freeh, and have each determined that the report is deeply flawed and that key conclusions regarding Joe Paterno are unsubstantiated and unfair. This Critique summarizes their expert conclusions and describes the most glaring errors on which the Freeh report is based. As Dick Thornburgh explains, the Freeh report reflects an improper "rush to injustice." There is no evidence that Joe Paterno deliberately covered up known incidents of child molestation by Jerry Sandusky to protect Penn State football or for any other reason; the contrary statements in the Freeh report are unsupported and unworthy of belief. As described in more detail below, there is no reason to believe that Joe Paterno understood the threat posed by Jerry Sandusky better than qualified child welfare and law enforcement professionals. There is no evidence that Joe Paterno conspired with Penn State officials to suppress information because of publicity concerns. And Joe Paterno's testimony before the grand jury in 2011 was truthful. As Messrs. Thornburgh and Clemente and Dr. Berlin have each concluded, the full story behind the tragic events involving Jerry Sandusky is not the one told by the Freeh report. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Joe Paterno's last written words before his death focused on the victims of Jerry Sandusky. In a handwritten note, Joe Paterno emphasized: "Good side of scandal - it has brought about more enlightenment of a situation (sexual abuse of young people) in the country." The Paterno family directed King & Spalding to seek independent opinions of the Freeh report by experts in identifying and investigating child victimization and pedophilia, as well as by experts in conducting independent and reliable internal investigations. Those independent experts include the former top legal officer of the United States, Attorney General Dick Thornburgh; former FBI profiler and child molestation and behavioral expert, Jim Clemente; and The Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Medicine physician and psychologist, Fred Berlin. King & Spalding's Critique of the Freeh report, which incorporates the independent analyses of these three prominent experts, concludes that the Freeh report is deeply flawed and that its conclusions as to Joe Paterno are unfair and unsupported. Each one of the Freeh report's main observations about Joe Paterno is wrong: each is either contradicted or unsubstantiated by the evidence. The authors of the Freeh report chose not to present alternative, more plausible, conclusions regarding Joe Paterno's role in the events involving Jerry Sandusky. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

I have had a headache all day and wonder if it could be a side effect of the Prozac I've started taking. If you've taken Prozac in the past, have you experienced this? It's not just a headache, but also I have this clinching, or tight sensation in my jaw. Very strange and hopefully it will go away soon.
I'm at work today and have been trying to work all morning. It's been quite difficult due to this headache and my mind is all over the place. Focusing is an Olympic challenge and so far I'm not scoring any gold medals. My job is highly technical and my brain is highly inept at the moment.
Last night after work I went shopping and purchased something to wear for the interview tomorrow. I only have one business suit that I wear to interviews, or I'll scrounge it out of the closet when running out of clean clothes. It's funny because in the past people would ask if I was going to the interview when I wore it to the office. I would always laugh and say, "No, I've ran out of clean clothes and pulled it out". I thought I would get the same Tuesday but no one asked this time. I was happy they didn't because I have an "open book" face and even if I said "No" they may have perceived differently.
When discovering that I need to go back for another interview tomorrow I freaked out because my other work clothes are business casual and aren't great enough for an interview with a VP. I thought about wearing the same suit with a different shirt but worry that the first lady I interviewed with would notice. So, last night I went looking and found something very nice to wear that I can also wear again in the office no matter where I work. Friday is "Jeans Day" at work and am sure people will wonder why I'm not in jeans, but I'm not too worried.
A few posts ago (and I can't find it right now because I'm actually e-mailing this post versus writing it in Blogger), I mentioned how my supervisor wasn't very happy about me losing time from work. Basically, the conversation ended when I said that we could stop having lunch for awhile since people were talking that she may be exhibiting favoritism towards me and she sounded relieved and said that she thought it would be for the best. Today she asked if I wanted to go eat lunch together tomorrow. I told her that I couldn't but would next week. I didn't tell her that I have an interview at 11:00am tomorrow. She has no idea that I've been interviewing. I've not told anyone but you and my husband. I didn't want to talk about it with anyone until I get the job. If I don't get it, no one will be the wiser.
She seemed a bit miffed that I wouldn't go to lunch with her tomorrow and I could tell that she was curious why I wasn't, but oh well. This all feels so elementary and childish. I can't wait to get the hell out of this work environment. I absolutely hate what I do and have to say I'm quite sad about how things happened with her. Don't get me wrong, it's a job here and if I'm not at work and you need to fire me because I'm sick and can't be there, go ahead. I get it. But, don't start acting all weird and not be able to separate the personal and professional relationship. Don't chide me and say that it might be best not to go to lunch together for a while and five days later ask if I want to go.
With my mind swirling around like the butterflies in my stomach, I hope like hell I can do well in this interview. I hope I won't be like a deer in headlights when asked a question and I stumble around mumbling. I found out last night from a friend who works there that the VP I'm interviewing with went around to all of the people who I used to work with in the past who work there now (about six people) asking them all about me. The guy sure is putting a lot of time into learning more about me, especially considering he is a VP and his time is much more valuable than that.
I am nervous, nervous, nervous. I will get through it. At least I'll look nice if I fumble. Maybe he'll look at my outstanding new outfit and forgive me if I do.

I just shared about the Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star app with you from Kiboomu- now I'm going to share with you about their Top 30 Preschool Songs for Kids. If you know me at all you know we love listening to kid-friendly music in our house, and while sometimes, we like trendy, hip music, there are also times when we like just listening to classic children's songs, because we like to sing (LOUDLY) and dance along. The top 30 songs included on this CD are all songs we've heard countless times before and can sing along together as a family (sure, we're mostly out of tune, but we don't subject others to that torture, only ourselves). You can find the lyrics to the songs on the CD right on the Kiboomu site- which is great. Sometimes I don't know all of the words to a song or mix them up (which the kids find hilarious) but I think its nice to have the actual lyrics when teaching the kids new songs. They also have sheet music for some classic kid songs- great for musical folks!!

I love sharing music with my kids. They love it, I love it- it helps them get moving or to chill out- as it does for me. This CD has favorites like B-I-N-G-O, If You're Happy and You Know It, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, and tons more.

SOURCE: "The Dark Comedy of the Henry VI Plays," in Thalia, Vol. 1, No. 2, Autumn, 1978, pp. 11-21.
In the essay below, Watson traces the farcical, sardonic, and grotesque patterns of Henry VI, Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Although the three parts of Henry VI have always offered more than their fair share of grist for the mills of historical scholarship, only recently have they attracted much appreciation or critical interest as plays. After several fine productions and interpretive essays, it no longer seems necessary to excuse them as the products of composite authorship, an inchoate genre, or a young playwright's apprenticeship. This essay will explore their theatricality, concentrating upon those scenes which are essentially comic or whose ironic, macabre, or grotesque tone places them very near the comic. As the comedy in the first tetralogy progressively darkens from the laughter of derision in Part 1 to the macabre violence of Richard III, its...

December 19, 2013: Darryl Sergison (University of Exeter) has requested AAVSO assistance with a campaign he is carrying out on five T Tauri stars. This study is the one for which AAVSO observers carried out a preliminary campaign last year (see Alert Notice 473 and Special Notice #306). The star list is revised and expanded from last year's list of targets. This campaign will run from now at least through the end of the 2013-2014 observing season.
7 November 2012: Further to AAVSO Alert Notice 473 (www.aavso.org/aavso alert-notice/473), Principal Investigator Darryl Sergison (University of Exeter) requests that spectroscopists planning to observe the targets RY Tau, DN Tau, and/or DR Tau image the corresponding telluric standards below at the same time:

Our Golden Girl - Free Shape Of The Week, Medals
So I decided to use my Sketch Pens (without a doubt my favourite tool to use with my Silhouette) and make a border of kisses and to write the journaling (I used Hello Sunshine sketch font for these).
I then used Scrappy Stencil font to write my title, cut it out and backfilled with gold card.
Next I welded the word 'GOLD' to the scalloped shape and resized this and the medal shape. I cut out the scallop and medal from gold card.
At this point I must point out that the only card I had was cheap card from The Range and it didn't cut out very well - a reflection on the quality of card and not the cutting expertise of my machine.
I backed the scalloped shape with black and attached it to the medal with foam pads and made a 'ribbon' with two pieces of patterned paper.
I finally drew a black line around the outside of my page with a ruler and a pen - not as successful as I would have hoped.
Do I like the end result? I do but think it could be improved.
The DOTW is free until next Tuesday 16th August.
Reason to be Cheerful:-
My lovely Gracia always tries her absolute hardest in all that she does and it really pays dividends! She is our Golden Girl in every way.

Who was/is Amos Milburn ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Amos Milburn
Asked to pinpoint his principal influences, New Orleans rock and roll pioneer Fats Domino readily volunteered the name of one fondly remembered individual above all others.
"His name was Amos Milburn," said the Fat Man. "I really liked his piano style."
As one of the premier R&B hitmakers of the postwar jump blues era, Milburn's romping boogie piano and uproarious odes to sex, booze and all-night partying anticipated the ascension of rock and roll. Amos was rocking the house for the Mesner brothers' Los Angeles-based Aladdin label long before Fats or any of his fellow revolutionaries came remotely near a recording facility.
That Milburn was left by the wayside when rock and roll exploded into the mainstream remains one of the great injustices of the period, since he was still turning out great platters (of his peers, only Big Joe Turner successfully crossed over to entice the new teen demographic). Some of Amos' last Aladdin records were cut at the Crescent City studio where Fats made his million-sellers, utilizing many of the same musicians.
Born April 1, 1927 in Houston, Texas, Milburn seems to have been born to pound the 88s. Legend has it that by the age of five, he'd figured out how to play Jingle Bells with one of his tiny fingers. But Yuletide chestnuts didn't hold young Amos' interest for long. His brother got him interested in pop material, and as time went on he was more into grooving on the jumping jive of alto sax ace Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five and the big band sound of Erskine Hawkins, as well as the holy boogie piano triumvirate of Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, and Meade Lux Lewis. There was a strange stylistic dalliance when Amos billed himself as 'The He-Man Martha Raye' at local amateur contests, performing material by the zany musical comedienne (no word as to whether he won anything with that dubious act).
Although he was under-age, Amos joined the Navy in November of 1942, seeing plenty of Pacific action during his three years of World War II service. Whenever he came across a piano overseas in officer's clubs, he made the most of the opportunity. Returning to Houston after the war ended, Milburn got back into the swing of the local scene, forming his own combo.
"Houston was really loaded down with good clubs, good music with different bands," said Milburn's longtime guitarist, Texas Johnny Brown, listing Shady's, the Club Ebony, the Club Matinee, and the Eldorado Ballroom as a few of the local hotspots. Guitar wizard Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown got his start at Don Robey's classy Bronze Peacock in Houston's Fifth Ward.
Through the sibling dance duo Mack & Ace, Milburn landed a gig in San Antonio at the Keyhole Club. Owner Don Albert kept Amos around for awhile. One evening he was handed a note on the bandstand from talent agent Lola Anne Cullum, the wife of a Houston physician. When Milburn got back home, the two joined forces to work up original material in hopes of landing him a recording contract.
Armed with a couple of demos that Amos had made at a local radio station, the young piano man and his new manager got aboard a train and headed west to Los Angeles, where freshly minted independent R&B labels were just beginning to proliferate. Houston spawned its own group of indie imprints over the years led by Robey's Peacock Records (and eventually its Duke sister label), but when it came to immediate recording opportunities, the West Coast was really where it was at. By the end of the '40s, L.A. labels such as Imperial, Specialty, Swing Time, and Modern would be churning out national R&B hits on a weekly basis.
Modern boss Jules Bihari dug what Amos had to offer on the 88s (after all, boogie specialist Hadda Brooks was the company's flagship artist), but he couldn't come to financial terms with Cullum. So she brought her protege to Aladdin Records. The seemingly simple process of auditioning was complicated by label co-owner Eddie Mesner being laid up in the hospital when they arrived in town. Lola Anne wouldn't be discouraged, buying a record player and bringing it up to Eddie's hospital room to spin Amos' demos for his perusal. The end result was an Aladdin contract for Milburn at three times the bread that the Biharis offered.
The ambitious Cullum wasn't through steering promising Houston talent in the Mesners' direction. Next time she came out West, she brought guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins, who she'd met through Amos, and pianist Thunder Smith with her. They made their Aladdin debut date in November of '46, and while Thunder petered out fast, it was the start of an astonishingly prolific career for Lightnin'.
"She was a damn good manager. She was just like a mom," said Johnny Brown. "If you didn't have the right sort of clothing and everything, well, she'd see that you got it. She was that kind of person." Cullum's savvy managerial efforts steered Milburn onto a lucrative career path, but she would eventually be aced out of her gig by Aladdin's braintrust.
Eddie and his brother, Leo Mesner, had launched their label in 1945 as Philo Records. They got hot right off the bat with Helen Humes' romping Be Baba Leba and the mellow Drifting Blues by guitarist Johnny Moore's Three Blazers, featuring the velvety vocals and sophisticated piano of Charles Brown (one of Amos' major early influences and later one of his very best friends). Electronics company Philco gave the Mesners a rumble about copyright infringement, so they renamed their label Aladdin. After one more session, the Three Blazers exited the label, leaving plenty of room on the roster for Amos to hop aboard.
"They went talent-scouting, looking for somebody else to replace me," said the late Charles. "So they found Amos Milburn, who was close to being me, like I was singing." Charles would come back to Aladdin in late 1948 and proceed to cut a slew of solo hits, but by then Milburn was experiencing R&B stardom as well.
