1. Miu Miu Satin Daisy-Print Clog ($495)
The shoes in the Miu Miu S/S 10 show were an editor-favorite, and for good reason. The exaggerated heel and range of sweet patterns such as sparrows, cats, and dogs are certainly dramatic and darling. While every printed pair is desirable, we particularly fell hard and fast for these slip-on clogs. Not only do they feature a cheeky daisy print, but the wooden platform and oversized studs add to the fashion-forward-feel of these covetable clogs!
2. No.6 Store T-Strap Clog ($230)
We couldn't do this GBN story without mentioning the lovely ladies at No. 6, who have been turning out clog-boots for a few seasons now. Though their ankle boot version is Michelle Williams' go-to errand-running pick, we think this denim t-strap style is perfect for a sunny spring afternoon and will go with everything in your closet!
3. Stuart Weitzman Studclog ($345)
With warm weather around the corner, we wanted to feature a style that had an open toe for those of you who love to show off a perfect pedicure! The snakeskin surface adds a sophisticated and luxurious touch to these slip-ons making them an absolutely ideal option for an afternoon picnic in the park or your favorite outdoor concert.
4. Jeffrey Campbell Charli Clog ($135)
If you're wild for the Karl Lagerfeld-designed clogs seen on the Chanel runway, then you simply must consider these black leather kicks from Jeffrey Campbell (or the equally divine tan pair)! These look-a-like lovelies bear a striking resemblance to the designer version, but they have the original beat in the price department!
5. Opening Ceremony W19 Ankle Boot Clog ($520)
Opening Ceremony is once again catering to its fashion-savvy urbane clientele with these red ankle-boot clogs. This pair is the perfect marriage of traditional clogs and grunge-y Doc Martens. We can totally imagine Chloe Sevigny or Kirsten Dunst pairing them with a flirty floral dress for spring!
6. Pedro Garcia Fiona Taffy Eden Calf Clog ($560)
As we've previously mentioned, nude tones are all the rage for the transitional season. Be sure to get a head start on this subdued style with these Pedro Garcia platform mary-janes in a lovely ecru shade. The studding on the side is reminiscent of the Chanel clogs, and the patent leather will definitely help you make a delightful and whimsically chic statement.Â--KM

During a trip to the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set Tuesday night, Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery joined the host in his newest holiday tradition, in which contestants put large pairs of antlers on their heads and then try to toss rings onto each other.
How'd she do? Well, while Lady Mary is more adventurous than the average 1920s aristocrat, we don't think this game will be played by the Crawleys.
Watch the video above, and then see Dockery discuss Downton's fourth season and her upcoming film with Liam Neeson on the Late Night couch below. The new season of Downton Abbey premieres Jan. 5 in the U.S.

Substituting Diet Coca-Cola for regular to pair with rum for that classic cocktail? It could make you drunker — the sugar in regular sodas slows down the absorption of alcohol from the stomach to the bloodstream.
An NPR blog on eating and health highlights a study set to be published in the April issue of the journal "Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental.
"Alcohol, consumed with a diet mixer, results in higher (BrAC) Breath Alcohol Concentrations as compared to the same amount of alcohol consumed with a sugar-sweetened mixer," the blog quotes Cecile Marczinski, a cognitive psychologist and the study's author, as saying.
The main takeaway? Diet soda could factor into whether you blow above or below the legal limit on a breath test. A previous and similar study showed the average BrAC was .091 at its peak when subjects drank alcohol mixed with a diet drink. By comparison, BrAC was .077 when the same subjects consumed the same amount of alcohol but with a sugary soda — an 18 percent difference. Click here to read more.

Associated Press
NATCHEZ, Miss. —
A Natchez industry will shut-down operations at its plant near the Natchez-Adams County Port.
The Natchez Democrat reports Mississippi River Pulp — formerly Mississippi River Corporation — will close down its recycled fiber mill effective Oct. 31. The closure, which company officials said is due to lack of demand, will affect 79 hourly and salaried workers.
Mississippi River Pulp purchased Mississippi River Corporation in 2010 for $8.2 million, five months after Mississippi River Corporation declared bankruptcy, citing low demand for its products as one of the reasons.
"Notwithstanding their best efforts, demand for the company's recycled fiber has failed to materialize in a meaningful way," the company said in news release.
The plant recycled office paper.
Mississippi River Pulp Vice President for Manufacturing Lynn Patt said that the company was still looking for a buyer despite the fact that the mill would be closed.
Natchez Inc. Executive Director Chandler Russ said the economic development agency had been working with the company to market the mill to potential buyers, but one of the major players they had courted recently backed out.
Russ said Natchez Inc. would continue to work with clients who are reviewing the MRP facility.
"All in all, the land and building itself are in good shape and good order, and so we will definitely be looking to either find a buyer for the current MRP facility and business, or we will remarket that property and facility to potential other customers," Russ said.

Postal Service Saves Energy With Manhattan's Largest Green Roof
In greening its snail-mail business, the U.S. Postal Service reports dramatic progress in reducing its energy use through efforts such as installing the largest green roof in New York City.
In greening its snail-mail business, the U.S. Postal Service reports dramatic progress in reducing its energy use through efforts such as installing the largest green roof in New York City, according to an article from USA TODAY.
The Postal Service, which has solar rooftop panels on some facilities and an entire fleet of alternative-fuel vehicles, has reduced its energy use 21% since 2003 and is two-thirds of the way toward meeting its goal of reducing energy use 30% by 2015, according to a recent announcement.
A key effort, it reports, is the 2.5-acre green roof on its Morgan mail processing facility in Manhattan, installed last year and expected to last 50 years or twice as long as its predecessor.
"A year ago, the Postal Service projected the green roof would help the Morgan facility save $30,000 in annual energy expenses," said Tom Samra, the Postal Service's vice president of facilities. "We're pleased to have surpassed that goal, saving more than $1 million since the implementation of the green roof and other energy-saving measures at Morgan."
Samra said the Morgan facility also replaced 1,600 windows and is pursuing certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program. He noted there are already LEED-certified postal facilities in Denver, Colo., Southampton, N.Y., Greenville, S.C., and Troy, Mich.
The Postal Service, which has won dozens of environmental awards from the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency, installed an energy-management system last year that enables it to more closely monitor energy performance at its 33,000 facilities.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Everyone knows you can't enjoy a good game without some good food. With the Baltimore Ravens one game away from the Superbowl, why not cook up some Ravens-themed food complete with Ravens colors?
Chef Jonathan Lindenauer at The Classic Catering People in Owings Mills recommends cooking up An Unkindness of Wings and The Black and Purple Burger to get pumped for Sunday's game.
Editor's note: A group of Ravens is called an 'unkindness.'
An 'Unkindness' of Wings
- 24 whole chicken wings
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dark BBQ sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's, or KC Masterpiece)
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 4 to 5 drops of black food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Purple cabbage, cut into long pieces, 3inches by ½ inches
- Blue cheese dressing
- Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
- Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
- While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl along with the garlic. Pour this along with hot sauce, bbq sauce, food coloring, and salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine.
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm with the cabbage and blue cheese dressing.
The 'Black and Purple' Burger
Serves: 8 people
- 1 head red cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 large carrots, finely shredded
- 3/4 cup best-quality mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion
- 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons celery salt
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 ½ to 4 pounds of good quality ground beef
- Montreal Steak Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hamburger buns
- Condiments of choice: bacon, onions, tomato, lettuce, cheese
- Prepare the burgers in 6 to 8 ounce patties. Season with the Montreal Seasoning, salt and pepper, and set aside at room temp while you prepare the "Purple Slaw."
- Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.
- Cook burgers on a hot grill to desired temperature. Approx 3 ½ minutes per side for medium rare.
- Build the burgers as: burger on bottom, cheese (if using), favorite condiments.
- Top with the "Purple Slaw."

Thank you.
So what type of magic is NDA? I'm going to guess pure carnymancy, (it's a pretty good fit) one of the hippiemancies, (for it's nullification ability) or just pure predictamancy for it's interaction with fate.
It's also possible that since Jack has to 'inform' Charlie that he is no longer contractually obligated, that the contract is maintained through threat of force.

Before the Week 17 game at New Orleans last season, with the Carolina Panthers heading into another January without a playoff berth, former Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme stopped by the Superdome to address the team.
The Panthers proceeded to roll to a 44-38 victory over the Saints to finish the season 7-9 and buy coach Ron Rivera another year.
Delhomme lives in Louisiana and likely will be among those at the Superdome Sunday night.
But Rivera doesn't plan to have Delhomme or anyone outside the organization talk to his team this year.
Not much more needs to be said.
"'Sunday Night Football,' intradivision game, both (teams) 9-3, big implications for us – I don't think there's a whole lot of motivation that we need," Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly said.
"I think everyone's kind of juiced for it. Nobody really needs to get us all riled up or anything. It's the Saints, 'Sunday Night Football' down there in the Superdome, it'll be fun. I think everyone's got enough energy for it."
Sunday's game – moved from its 1 p.m. scheduled start to prime time by NBC – is the first of two in 15 days between the NFC South rivals, giving it a home-and-home, playoff feel.
The teams meet again in Charlotte on Dec. 22, but the winner of Sunday's game will have an advantage in the pursuit of a division title and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
"That part's pretty cool. It's like a series. It's almost like a basketball playoff," Panthers safety Mike Mitchell said. "But obviously we're going down there with the mentality that it's do or die, got to win this one.
"We want to keep everything in our control and not leave it up to anybody else."
The Saints have rebounded from last year's 7-9 finish, which coincided with Sean Payton's seasonlong suspension for his role in Bountygate.
New Orleans was rolling until Monday night in Seattle. The Seahawks (11-1) blew out the Saints 34-7 to take a two-game lead in the race for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
Worse, the Saints were stuck overnight in Seattle because of a problem with their charter plane, putting them a day behind in their preparations for the Panthers.
Payton said the travel problem was not a big deal. The bigger issue for the Saints will be regrouping during a short week before facing the league's hottest team.
The Panthers have eight consecutive victories – a franchise record for regular-season games – and are closing in on their first playoff berth since 2008.
Payton believes the way Carolina ended the 2012 season – winning four in a row and five of their final six games – was important to this year's success.
"It's not uncommon for good teams to all of a sudden get on a roll, and you can see that with Carolina now with the winning streak they're on," Payton said. "They expect to make plays, and they've had to do it in a lot of different ways. But that's very common when you end up winning as many games in a row as they have. You come from behind with some, you get up early with some."
After three consecutive come-from-behind victories, the Panthers enjoyed a relatively easy 27-6 win against Tampa Bay last week.
They arrive in New Orleans as healthy as they've been all season. Defensive end Charles Johnson, outside linebacker Chase Blackburn and No. 2 tight end Ben Hartsock are all expected to play Sunday after missing multiple games with injuries.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees is coming off his worst statistical game in seven years. Brees threw for 147 yards in the loss to Seattle, snapping a streak of 43 consecutive games with at least 200 passing yards.
But Johnson, the Panthers' leader with 8.5 sacks, said Brees remains a big challenge for Carolina's second-ranked defense.
"He's probably one of the best quarterbacks in the league," Johnson said. "He's a smart quarterback. He knows where to put the ball. He'll break down your coverage. He puts the ball up and makes his receivers make the 1-on-1 plays. He does it all."
The Panthers' secondary has given up several big plays the past two weeks and will have to contend with 6-foot-7 tight end Jimmy Graham, who already has set a Saints record with 12 receiving touchdowns.
The Panthers believe they can disrupt the timing of the Saints' third-ranked passing offense by getting physical with Graham.
"Get people in his face, knock off his timing," cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. "You're going to have to jump with the guy. Drew Brees throws the jump balls. You're going to have to jump with him and make plays."
As the Panthers' free safety, Mitchell will be the last line of defense against the Saints' passing game.
Mitchell, who spent his first four seasons in Oakland, has never played in the Superdome. He said he's expecting "hostility" from Saints' fans – and a playoff-like atmosphere.
"This is the type of game you want to play in, that you dream about playing in," said Mitchell, who leads the Panthers with four interceptions. "We've got to get a win. It's one of those (things), you can't want to get it. You can't might. You've got to have it, like you've got to have air."

The Jets have agreed to re-sign UFA CB Antonio Cromartie, multiple media outlets reported Monday morning.
The contract is reportedly worth $32 million over four years.
Cromartie, 27, intercepted three passes last season. The Jets were one of the suitors for UFA Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha, but he signed with Philadelphia. Instead, they retained Cromartie, who will again team with Darrelle Revis.
According to ESPN's John Clayton, veteran RB LaDainian Tomlinson took a pay cut, which brought his salary for 2011 from $2.625 million down to $1.1 million. The extra cap room likely helped the Jets while re-signing Cromartie or Santonio Holmes.
Cromartie was the highest-rated unrestricted free agent on PFW's top 100 list without a contract agreement (No. 11).
The way we see it
Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and company had to make nice with Cromartie after making it no secret they wanted Asomugha. Cromartie and Revis still make up one of, if not the, league's top cornerback duo, and after Holmes he was the team's No. 2 priority in free agency. With Cromartie, as opposed to a free-agent addition at corner, the Jets should again be consisdered a favorite in the AFC.

Major: Biology and Ethnic Studies
Hometown: Las Vegas, NV
My fellowship experience:Prior to my fellowship with the CRCRC, I was not certain of what I could "do" with my Ethnic Studies major. However, this fellowship has enabled me to implement what I have learned in my Ethnic Studies classes to a real life setting. In turn, the CRCRC has increased my passion for social justice, providing me with insight on the various careers that would enable me to actively work towards the end of discrimination within society.

Why? @ Music Hall of Williamsburg, 2/13/2013
Anitcon figureheads Why? headlined Music Hall of Williamsburg on Wednesday evening (2/13), their NYC stop on a tour supporting last year's Mumps, Etc. The group, led by Yoni Wolf, are known for having a great relationship with their fans and last night was no different -- MHOW was bouncing. Astronautalis, who comes off like a singing, rapping Southern Gentlemen, charmed as well, and even freestyled with suggestions from the audience. Why? member Liz Wolf opened the night with her Dream Tiger project. Did you go last night? What did you think?

Success is a dish best served patiently.
The 's chili was smoked for a minimum 10 hours before it won first place in the People's Choice category at the 6th annual Milford Yacht Club Police and Firefighter Chili Festival on Saturday.
The chili had about 17 pounds of brisket in it, said Stratford firefighters Mike Camperlengo, Matt Whelan, Matt Morse and Brian Johnson (pictured).
Milford firefighters edged Stratford and took first place in the Judge's Choice category. Several area fire departments participated in the annual event that raises money for Special Olympics of Connecticut.
Paul Kovlakas has been volunteering at the festival for the last four years. His wife, Lisa, is on the Special Olympics of Connecticut's board. They were there with their children.
"We try to make it a family event," Kovlakas said while trying some chili from the West Haven Police Department.
donated the venue, staffing, soft drinks and the main ingredients for the chili recipes for all participating teams, for a sixth consecutive year. The was among this year's sponsors and many people donated their time to help out. In addition to the $10 it cost to taste the chili, funds were raised through the sale of raffle tickets.
The celebrity judge this year was John Ratzenberger, a Bridgeport native who most will remember as Cliff Clavin, the mailman on the sitcom Cheers. He was joined on the judge's panel by area chefs and Special Olympics athletes.

A Woodbridge woman reported that an acquaintance assaulted her and tried to pull a gun during the struggle. Prince William County Police are asking for the public's help to find him.
Kiajual Barshawn Dunlap, 28, of Temple Hills, MD, is wanted for malicious wounding. He is described as a black male about 156 pounds, six feet tall, with black dreadlocks, brown eyes and a thin build (photo at right is from May 2011).
The 28-year-old woman reported on Oct. 24 at 4:49 p.m. that she and Dunlap were on the 2500 block of Chadwick Court in Lake Ridge, when they began to argue. The argument quickly escalated as they walked into a parking lot, police said.
"During the encounter, the accused assaulted the victim, resulting in a struggle," Officer Jonathan Perok, a spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department, said in a press release. "While the two were struggling, the accused attempted to grab a handgun."
Witnesses were able to break up the fight, and Dunlap fled the area. The woman did sustain injuries to her upper body, Perok said. After an investigation, police obtained a warrant for Dunlap's arrest.
Anyone with information can call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS or 703-670-3700.

Student Spotlight: Nahiris Bahamón Fernández
Nahiris Bahamón Fernández
Major: Biology
During her studies at College of DuPage, Nahiris Bahamón Fernández received several impressive awards, including the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship, the largest private scholarship for two-year and community college transfer students.
Bahamón Fernández used that scholarship – which provided $30,000 annually for up to
three years – to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she studied both
biology and anthropology. Now she has received the Jack
Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarship, a one-time award of $50,000 to continue her education. She is currently in her third year studying medicine at Boston University.
"Being awarded a Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship is a great honor," she said. "I feel truly fortunate to be supported by the foundation for a second time!"
In 2005, as a teenager in her second year of medical school in Colombia, Bahamón Fernández had to stop her studies when her family moved to the U.S. due to political upheaval. She began attending College of DuPage while adapting to a new culture as her family settled in Oswego.
While at COD, she participated in the Undergraduate Research Collaborative, a five-year initiative funded by the National Science Foundation that provided research opportunities for two-year college students at COD, Harper College, Oakton Community College and the City College of Chicago.
"Being part of the URC was a great experience that allowed me to develop and apply my analytical and critical thinking skills in ways that I wouldn't have being able to do through attending class alone," she said. "It also prepared me for the rigorousness of the science education at UW-Madison."
Richard Jarman, professor of Chemistry at COD who Bahamón Fernández cites as a mentor, was impressed by her work.
"This award is proof that good things do happen to nice people," he said. "While professors are often cited as being a source of inspiration for their students, her achievement is a source of inspiration for me, and it is my honor to have had the opportunity to contribute to her success."
In addition to receiving her first Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship, Bahamón Fernández also was one of only 20 community college students in the United States to earn a prestigious $5,000 Guistwhite Scholarship, which is based on academic achievement and participation in Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of community colleges. She was named scond team of the All-USA Community and Junior Colleges Academic Team, and she was an Honors Scholar at COD.
While at the University of Madison, Bahamón Fernández was on the Dean's list and graduated with distinction. She took a year off after graduation and served in Americorps as a health education in a community health center in Chicago. At BU, she is pursuing an MD/MPH dual degree with the hopes of becoming a primary care physician and working internationally.
As for current College of DuPage students, Bahamón Fernández advises them to never give up on what they really want to become.
"There were many times when I felt like my goals seemed too far away, almost impossible to achieve," she said. "Fortunately, I had people around me who believed in me and encourage me to keep working toward achieving the goals I set for myself."

Posted by Vicki Gerson ,
If you have been caring for a loved one for months or years, you may find yourself
suffering from caregiver burnout and not even realize it. "There are at least 10 signs of family
caregiver burnout that can occur," says Bob Tucker, a qualified dementia care provider (QDCP)
and the co-owner of the Northbrook-based Senior Helpers office serving north and northwest
Chicagoland. "It is important to let other members of the family know what is happening to you
and the effect burnout is having on your own health."
Ask yourself are you:
☐ Withdrawing from friends, family and other loved ones.
☐ Feeling blue.
☐ Experiencing changes in your sleep patterns.
☐ Irritable.
☐ Losing interest or having no time for the activities you used to enjoy.
☐ Noticing changes in your appetite, your weight or both.
☐ Getting sick more often.
☐ Emotionally or physically exhausted.
☐ Feeling like you want to hurt yourself, or the person you're caring for.
"If you are suffering from one or more of these symptoms, it's possible you aren't getting the
help you need," Tucker says.
Being a family caregiver is a difficult...and sometimes a thankless job. Many days, the job
seems overwhelming because you lack the resources, hands on help or experience to effectively
organize and conduct all of your loved one's care. Often, caregivers place unreasonable demands
upon themselves because they think providing care is their exclusive responsibility.
Preventing Family Caregiver Burnout -
"It is very important to find someone you trust, such as a friend, another family member,
co-worker or neighbor, who will let you talk about your feelings and frustrations," says Abbie
Tucker, senior advocate and client services director, certified senior advisor (CSA), a qualified
dementia care provider (QDCP) and the co-owner of the Northbrook-based
Senior Helpers office. "Whether your loved one is suffering from a progressive disease like
Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or physical limitations due to a stroke, you must be realistic about
your loved one's health and just how much you personally can do to help them."
Abbie Tucker believes that as a caregiver, it's important to accept the fact you may need
help with caregiving. "Turn to other members of your family or a professional service for help
with some tasks. We often create programs for families for just a few hours per week that can be
life-changing for the person affected-and the caregiver."
The Chicagoland North Senior Helpers'office was selected as the affiliate office for the
Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA). This has resulted in this office establishing an
Alzheimer's/Dementia care resource center for the community. All of the materials-books,
DVDs, other educational materials, articles and magazines about dementia- are available to
anyone in the community for no charge, as is a free consultation and access to all of the AFA
To make an appointment for a free initial meeting or memory screening, please call 847-
564-7500, email Bob Tucker at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit their website at

In the Japan Open thread in Great Skate Debate, os68 wrote:
The fact that figure skating can, at its best, provide an artistic experience for viewers attracts a lot more viewers than a sport that's all about executing difficult physical feats that only other practitioners can appreciate.
And a lot of skaters like to perform for audiences, like to create something artistic with their performances that's more meaningful than just executing the difficult feats. A lot of them wouldn't bother training and competing if the artistic aspects of the sport didn't exist at all or were simply tolerated but not rewarded.
The sport of executing those technical feats could in theory exist without music, without choreography, and without audiences. It just wouldn't have as many participants or as much money coming in from ticket sales and TV contracts.
On the other hand, skating for the sake of artistry can exist without competition or rules.
Mass audiences have tended to be even less interested in watching artistic skating shows than in wathcing competitions, however. Thus most pro skating has been presented in some kind of competitive format.
But artistic skating at a high level can't exist without mastery of the difficult physical feats.
This is not what ISU competitive skating is about, for the most part. Maybe a majority of the Choreography component covers these criteria. But that's less than 10% of the total score.To create great pieces of artistic work, the fundamental are to write an original creative brief that identifies the theme, the core concepts, your inspirations, what you wish to express. The end result should be judged according to whether you are able to convince your audiences (not just the judges) successfully, with the required elements fully utilized creatively as an extension of your expressions with meaning and purpose. And that is really hard, tricky and require a lot of effort to get it right.
There could be a different kind of competition that privileged concepts and choreography and expression over technique. The technique would have to be there to support the execution of the choreography, and a more skilled skater would have more options to work with when putting together a program,
That kind of competition would never be accepted into the Olympics, though.
Impresarios of professional skating encourage it, and so do federations who want to give their artistically inclined members something to do that focuses more on their strengths than on landing as many difficult jumps as possible.
But the ISU has never yet and likely never will show much interest in governing a competition format in which technique and athleticism are valued only insofar as they support artistry. At best, in addition to rewarding the basic technical and athletic aspects of the sport, they can give additional rewards to skaters who are able to go beyond those basics to add artistic value.
So do we want to discuss how a hypothetical type of art contest on ice, outside the Olympic context, could be structured to give the greatest value to writing an original creative brief that identifies the theme, the core concepts, inspirations, what you wish to express and is judged according to how well the skater is able to convince audiences, with the required elements fully utilized creatively as an extension of the artistic meaning and purpose? What would a contest of skating for art's sake look like?
Or do we want to start with competitive skating as it is currently structured, with technique and athleticism always paramount, and discuss how the well-balanced program rules, etc., might be adjusted to encourage more variety and/or more coherence of artistic purpose on top of the athletic base?

---- — CLINTON — If ketchup on a hot dog is your pleasure, that's fine. But don't expect it to come standard at Clinton's newest hot dog business where it will be all about the Chicago-style dog.
"We'll have ketchup here if you want to throw it on your hot dog, but that's not really Chicago-style," co-owner Geno Miller, 21, of Clinton, said.
The yet-to-be-named hot dog joint will open at 201 Fifth Ave. South around mid-August.
Hungry residents will find Vienna Beef hot dogs ready to be adorned with mustard, onions, tomato, relish, sport peppers, a pickle spear and celery salt. Miller, along with fellow owners, his father Samuel Tan and brother, Gerge, also will sell Polish sausage and fountain drinks, and have daily specials such as chili dogs.
The family moved to Clinton from Chicago three months ago. Miller said he's always wanted to open a restaurant and saw Clinton as the perfect place to carry out his dream.
"We want to bring Chicago to Clinton — the food not the people," Miller said. "I didn't see anything like that around here. Plus downtown is happening."
They don't have hours or prices yet planned, but they do know the restaurant will have a counter along the window facing Second Street where patrons can savor their Chicago-style treat.
"It's all about coming in and getting your eat on," Miller said.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani headed an all-star cast of Republican surrogates who came to the party's Victory Center at the Westgate Mall in Bethlehem to make a last-minute pitch for Mitt Romney Monday night.
Giuliani and his co-stars, actor Jon Voight, former Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich and former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, were there to thank and fire up volunteers and – to sell the idea that Pennsylvania is still in play in the presidential race.
"It will be quite a surprise and a kick in the you-know-what if Pennsylvania votes for Mitt Romney," Guiliani said to a round of laughter and applause.
Every major poll in the state – except for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review/Susquehanna Polling & Research poll, which scores the race a tie – has President Obama leading Romney by at least 3 points in their most recent surveys.
The former mayor, who guided the Big Apple in the aftermath of its darkest day, rapped the president on the economy, on foreign policy – specifically the recent Benghazi controversy - and the Hurricane Sandy response in New York.
With occasional chants of "one more day," about 250 supporters turned out for the mini-rally in the former Art & Drafting Connection store in the mall that has served as a volunteer hub for local Republicans since the summer.
"Believe me. We see the polls. We're going to win Pennsylvania," said Ehrlich, a former governor who leads Romney's Maryland campaign. "The Romney campaign isn't just discovering Pennsylvania."
Romney has made a last-minute push in the Keystone State, visiting Bucks County on Sunday, while running mate Paul Ryan visited Harrisburg on Saturday. The Obama campaign has countered with former
The GOP challenger also came back to the Pennsylvania airwaves with commercials last week.
Coleman, who lost his senate seat to Al Franken by 312 votes in 2009, was there to drive home the importance of getting out every single vote. "Believe me, your vote counts," he said.
Hollywood star Voight warmed up the crowd by trying to capture the mood of the moment, saying, "We're all nervous. It's like one stomach."
He went on to paint Tuesday's presidential choice in the starkest of terms.
If Obama is re-elected, "we will see America broken like never before," Voight said. "We must save the country."

Per a discussion with the guy who answers Largo's email, they had it up for sale for a couple hours, but took it down because they aren't announcing it until "next week" (which could mean as soon as Monday, I didn't ask). I got a ticket in the brief period they were up.
What's up with The Weeknd tonight? Are they checking ID's to match names on the ticket?
As contained in an email from Hollywood Forever:
The Weeknd

We strongly recommend you use this secure parking structure.
This structure opens at 5:30pm and closes at 11:30pm
PLEASE CARPOOL / RIDE BIKES / WALK if at all possible.
The show is SOLD OUT.
There will be NO tickets at the door.
Resold tickets will not be honored.
This was made VERY clear on the ticketing purchase page and on the tickets.
People who purchased to re-sell can contact Ticketfly for a full refund until noon tomorrow.
The purchaser of the tickets must enter the venue unless otherwise pre-approved.
If not entering the venue together, the purchaser should be sure to enter before the other patrons whose tickets they purchased via Ticketfly.
We will cross check ids at the door with the name on the tickets.
Anyone entering the venue with a ticket and the purchaser is not with them or hasn't already entered will have to provide the following information:
Show their ID
Provide information on from whom they got the tickets and how.
We will then determine whether or not they can enter the venue.
This information will be compiled and crosschecked with past and future purchases.
A banned list will be assembled based on our own criteria.
This is to put a stop to scalping.
Scalpers assemble purchasing teams, flood our ticketing server with purchase requests to block legitimate buyers and thereby deny the consumer fair and reasonable access to the tickets. Then they resell the tickets to those very same people whose access they blocked for prices higher than what Hollywood Forever and the Artist have agreed is a reasonable price.
We work very hard to produce the best shows with the lowest possible ticket prices and fees.
We don't do this so someone can block access to our tickets so they can resell them for personal profit.
HOLLYWOOD FOREVER will not tolerate scalpers and will aggressively work to deny scalpers access to our tickets through all possible means: legal, technological or otherwise.
Thanks for reading this!
We look forward to seeing you at the show tomorrow.
Your friends at
The only people they're stopping from entering are the people who got ripped off, not the ones ripping people off...
then maybe the ones who got ripped off will stop buying from scalpers in the future for the shows...and then scalpers will stop buying tickets to future shows leaving those tickets available to fans in the future. THE FUTURE!
That's some 2012 shit right there.
I love this!
The tickets clearly say on them "Resold tickets will not be honored" and something about how the original purchaser must present them. If they bought in person, it's their own fault for not reading that on the ticket (it's really not even fine print, it's right there), and if they paid through paypal or on stubhub they should be able to get a refund.
why didnt they do it willcall then.
and if you read the fine print on the actual ticket. it says you can resell the ticket
hollywood forever needs to get their shit together. They've made their cash off the show.. just let it be
Deciding to stop the onslaught of scalpers buying up tickets, after all the tickets have already been bought up by scalpers and re sold is super convenient.
The uber long email they sent out was total bullshit. They werent checking anyones tickets against ID. Drake came out for Crew Love and The Zone.
The show at Los Globos tonight was really solid. The first opener, Tropic of Cancer, was really good. Dreamy, bass-heavy pop with Belinda-esque vocals. Vatican Shadow was the absolute shit. A complete aural assault, and an all too short set that no one wanted to end. Demdike Stare took quite a while to get going, but once they found their rhythm they killed it. Fantastic triple bill overall.
8/06 - Herbie Hancock - Hollywood Bowl (?)
8/07 - Haim - Wiltern (?)
8/08 - Spoon - Hollywood Forever

8/12 - FKA Twigs - El Rey (?)

Twitter, if you dare
Agreed on all accounts TallGuy. Vatican was a highlight for me as well, wayyy too short though. They could have given Vatican at least another 20 minutes considering Demdike ended ~1:40. Also, I must find out who the DJ was between Tropic of Cancer and Vatican Shadow, he spun some seriously heavy techno that was quite the contrast after the wavy vibe ToC put out.
Good times.
Edit: Figured out DJ, Mikey Lovechilde. Also forgot to mention that Sean and Miles are master's at creating a vortex of noise and dub, they absolutely killed it.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A man accused of killing his grandmother two years ago returns to court on Friday. William Morgan faces first-degree murder charges after he allegedly stabbed his grandmother before trying to take his own life.
In June 2011, police found 84 year-old Mary Louise Harrison stabbed in the neck in their home in Knoxville. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers also saw that Morgan's throat was slashed.
Relatives said Morgan has a long history of mental illness and had been treated several times at Peninsula Mental Health Center.
His trial is expected to last a couple of weeks.

Treating heart disease is what HCA Midwest Heart Care does well, but our teams also want to be at the forefront of education and prevention. Our hospitals have had a long-standing relationship with the American Heart Association and have been key participants in local fund-raising and awareness efforts, including the annual Heart Walk and the Go Red for Women movement.
Our heart care specialists are in a unique position to advance care through research, education and service. Our Kansas City Heart Foundation, which was founded in 1999 and formally incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2000, has very specific objectives in the treatment and prevention of heart disease and pursues several different projects in order to meet them. Foundation initiatives include the funding of clinical studies and educational programs. The executive committee, board of directors and the study team all work together to make these goals a reality.
